Starting point is 00:00:00 A viral tweet going around. In fact, there are several viral tweets to the tune of millions of views claiming that Tucker Carlson was placed on a kill list over his interview with Vladimir Putin. Man, there is a lot to break down here. It's kind of hard to title a show like this. We only get so many characters because it's half true and technically not true. He wasn't just placed on this list. He's been on this list for a long time. And it's not literally a kill list, but it is effectively a target list. Tucker Carlson has
Starting point is 00:00:30 already been on it because of his interview with Vladimir Putin. Naturally, people are very, very pissed off and he's being accused once again of being a Russian asset or propagandist. But the real threat right now, aside from obvious death threats. And Tucker's probably got serious security issues because of this. But the EU has actually entertained sanctioning Tucker Carlson over his interview with Vladimir Putin. Several members of EU Parliament have expressed their intention to have him reviewed, as it were. It seems like a long shot, but it is very interesting. And it brings up a very interesting point, which I'm going to just say it bluntly. Why does anyone care that Tucker Carlson interviewed the president of a country we are not at war with? Because the answer is obvious.
Starting point is 00:01:15 We are at war with Russia and they are now outraged that an American journalist, Tucker Carlson, is interviewing the president of a country we are at war with. And that's it. I think it's plainly obvious, and it's been for a long time, most of us have been paying attention, is that we are in this war. Chuck Schumer recently said we could lose this war, and that's why they're mad. They have unilaterally engaged in a war without congressional approval, without declaration, and they're trying to hide it from the American people. And we all knew. But I think the sentiment is there.
Starting point is 00:01:48 And it's fairly obvious. So we'll talk about that. Plus a bunch of other stories. They're very interesting. The border bill has been crushed. That it's gone. Bernie Sanders says he won't support a bill with Israel. And now, of course, bro, you really got to stop.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Really? Like, come on, bro. I'm so far away from the mic. You're sipping into the microphone. Oh, my bad tell me bernie sorry about that i've totally lost my train of thought as you're slurping three cans into the microphone i'm clicking them off the you're slurping into the microphone bro i'm just talking i could totally hear you sorry about that man i can't even i don't even know what i was talking about bernie uh i'm i you i you broke my train of thought when i was trying to talk about Tucker Carlson.

Starting point is 00:03:46 What do you do? I know. I am the co-host of Steve Bannon's War Room, also an investigative reporter. And I guess since the last time I was on, I just launched an entirely USA-made lifestyle and clothing brand called She's So Right, but there also is a men's line. So it's been fun. Right on. She's adding entrepreneur to her resume.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah. Congratulations. Thank you. I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow. I it's been fun. Right on. She's adding entrepreneur to her resume. Yeah. Congratulations. Thank you. I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow. I'm a writer for SCNR.com. That's Scanner News. I'm really grateful to be a part of that team. Ian's here.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I'm the best Ian Cross on Earth. What's happening? Dude, Tim was not lying. I have three drinks. He's cracking open all three. Reminds me of that scene from Family Guy where Stewie's in the attic with Anne Frank and he's eating chips really slowly. And they're like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:04:27 And he's like, oh. Man, we were talking about Israel. It all comes full circle. But they're delicious. It's two spindrifts and a kombucha. I'm going to mix them all together like the alchemist I am. Great to see you, Natalie. Tim, I love you.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Hannah Clare, it's really good to see you again. It's been a while. Yeah, it has. And Serge, what's happening, brother? You were talking about Israel and something about spindrift. I don't't know anyways uh i'm sure.com let's uh get into it here's the first story this one i you know initially we want to talk about tucker carlson facing threats of eu sanctions because we have confirmed statements from these uh parliamentary members in the eu literally threatening tucker carlson over his interview with vladimir putin
Starting point is 00:05:03 but then i realized the gravity of some of these tweets. You've got this tweet from Juanita Broderick with 12,000 retweets, 31,000 likes and 3.8 million views, followed by a quote tweet from Cat Turd with 1.7 million views and 15,000 retweets. Juanita Broderick says this POS dictator Zelensky has put Tucker Carlson on a kill list for interviewing Putin. Biden has helped him with your tax dollars. This is incorrect.
Starting point is 00:05:32 OK, Katzard says this should disqualify this corrupt POS from getting another dime from our country. The challenge here is it's a massively viral story that is half wrong, half right. No, no, no Ukrainian government official, according to the fact check, has placed Tucker Carlson on this list. In fact, this website has had Tucker Carlson on the list going back to August. So he wasn't just placed on it. And it wasn't because of the interview with Vladimir Putin. Now, to be fair, Juanita Broderick did not say because or actually, no, she literally did say for interviewing interviewing Putin. It appears that there is another entry placed because of following his interview with Putin.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Now, it's not a kill list. It's a propaganda directory of some sort, a resource for pro-Ukraine individuals. And the reason why I say it's kind of half true is the fact checkers are trying to claim it's not a kill list. It's literally not, but it kind of is. You know what I mean? If you're a high profile individual and you appear on this list, they are basically saying to anybody who might have access to you,
Starting point is 00:06:39 you are a bad person who is working against them. And of course, it has been reported that many people who do appear on the list do have been killed. And I don't know how many or what the ratio is. But I do certainly think it was important to start with this. Because it's gone a little bit crazy on social media. That being said, I want to highlight something. I thought I had this pulled up, but now it's gone. Totally lost.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Come on, Ian, with your cans. It's all, it's absolutely. Yeah, what happened to this story that we had pulled? It's just gone. It's literally gone. So you've got NBC News. Oh, perhaps it's right here. We got it.
Starting point is 00:07:16 We got it. We got it. There we go. NBC News. Last March, Iowa police investigated a bomb threat targeting a junior high school. They determined that the threat was a hoax, but a detective from the police department had a theory about its possible inspiration,
Starting point is 00:07:28 the libs of TikTok account. Here's why I want to put these stories together. Tucker Carlson has been on a list since August. He has another entry added to the list. It appears, I could be wrong, it could be the same, it looks different. Following his interview with Vladimir Putin, he certainly is under a heightened security threat. It's probably getting death threats. These fact checkers on the community note say it's not a kill list. It's not a kill list. The corporate press then claims libs of tick tock the same day today is inspiring bomb threats by targeting individuals. So it's funny how when it comes to the perceived enemies of the establishment no no no
Starting point is 00:08:06 you know uh or i i should say yeah they're not being threatened they're not a kill list but when it comes to someone reporting on and sharing information which does create a threat to the establishment they say you are inspiring death and kill list they call it stochastic terrorism this is a tactic tactic of the left where they accuse the right when the right says hey i am critical of your thing they call it stochastic terrorism then when tucker carlson is placed in the crosshairs they say no it's totally fine they're just saying you know he's a he's a he's a propagandist but the outrage is crazy i don't know what you guys think of uh the corporate press so far and their entertaining posts about tucker carlson and vladimir putin it's complete hysterics isn't it it? It's kind of wild.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I mean, it's these confusing articles that come out where they're saying Tucker Carlson says he's the only one who's tried to interview him. And you'll get a quote from an AP reporter being like, does he really think he's the only one who wants to talk to Putin? At the same time, they're sort of condemning him for talking to Putin. You have to say, what do you guys want? Did you guys want to have the exclusive or are you mad that he's doing this? Well, how about this? Any country that we have given hundreds of billions of dollars to, I don't think we should be in a debate over the semantics of whether or not it's a kill list or it's some, you know, government hit list.
Starting point is 00:09:15 And it happens to be that Americans who have ended up on that list have been basically killed by the Ukrainian government. And I think people don't understand the lengths to which the regime has gone to cover up what is going on in Ukraine. And I think why you're seeing these crazy numbers, in some ways, I think it's sort of the stridesand effect, as cliche as that may sound. But look, they don't want Tucker Carlson to interview Putin. I would say look no further than the fact that it was less than a week after Russia invaded Ukraine back in February that the Pentagon, again, they never publicly announced it, but they, I believe it was the Intercept through FOIA, got documents showing that they reestablished the Influence and Perception Management Office, which they basically used to spread basically misinformation and disinformation.
Starting point is 00:10:01 They say counter misinformation and disinformation, not just abroad, but domestically here at home, too. And that's why I think you see them in freefall because they've had such a monopoly on trying particularly to control this narrative, not just because Ukraine works as part of their broader global agenda, but I think on a personnel and personal level, when you talk about, you know, the Biden family's involvement there, I think Ukraine has just sort of been a cash cow for a lot of D.C. elites. So I think that's why you're seeing such a mad rush to really keep what's going on there under wraps. So the website, my understanding, is not official, is not affiliated with the government officially, but has worked with law enforcement sources in Ukraine and foreign government sources for verification of you know information or whatever so it's kind of just like the fact checkers here well but i would say this is this
Starting point is 00:10:52 is clearly a a uh information warfare uh asset for them listing all these people and showing all this propaganda and things like this and uh the government uses contractors it would be absurd to be like oh no they're not cia they're just a contractor for the cia they're a totally private entity they're not associated with the government the president's not involved they just sometimes coordinate you know what i mean and we pay the bills on occasion but have there have there been american citizens who were on this list and killed i believe there were or i don't know if it was necessarily this list but i think the whole gonzalo lira case i'm pretty sure he was i'd have to imagine he's he's been on their list and then they hunted him down and now he's he's reportedly dead you know uh my point is
Starting point is 00:11:35 we shouldn't even be in a space where there's gray area about whether or not it's like a kill it regardless or if americans are dead or alive like for a country that we have given so much money to. But it's not a government website. But I think it more or less, I think that's like saying the fact checking organizations here in the United States that have been set up as sort of outfits of federally funded institutions or they're receiving federal funds. It's like, well, I guess they're technically not. But I think that's precisely the point. They like to be able to play that kind of shell game. Say, oh, well, it's technically not the government. But by all intents and purposes it is it is acting in the interest of the government probably has some kind of you know intermediary that's fascism it's fascism man it's
Starting point is 00:12:14 why it's so uh so hard to combat because you can't really see it a lot of times especially in the age of corporatism i just love how they're like it's not a kill list this is okay just some people on it have been killed there is a difference but there is a difference that're like, it's not a kill list. Just some people on it have been killed. There is a difference. But there is a difference. That's true. But it's kind of like, yo, they're putting crosshairs over Tucker Carlson. I think we should be this specific if we're going to go line by line on whether it's a kill list or like a target list. How about we audit all the billions that we have sent to Ukraine with that same level of a fine-tooth comb?
Starting point is 00:12:39 But these people don't actually care about semantics. They don't know where that money went. Exactly. That money's gone. They're never going to audit it. Yeah. No, for real. Wasn't it reported like half the money? No, they actually do not know where it is. It's just gone. And the best part, too, speaking of
Starting point is 00:12:51 how the mainstream media has continuously run cover on this narrative, I believe it was back in October of last year. It was not leaked, but they were talking with Politico from the Biden White House saying that the new narrative that they wanted on the Ukraine war was that our aid packages over there were actually a boon to the United States economy. It was great for the manufacturing base. It was great for jobs, just the most bogus BS narrative you've ever heard. But a month, two months later, you can look back at some of the stories, all these media outlets started running with this narrative, basically saying, oh, Ukraine contracts. Oh, it's great for, you know, it's great for the defense contractors. Yeah, I guess it's great for the Beltway.
Starting point is 00:13:31 But this was even down to like local newspapers and like affiliate stations pumping this very fake narrative that was disseminating directly from the White House. If you traced it from what they were saying in Politico all the way to these newspapers. So they've obviously have been working overtime to really create this. And I think, too, it's really interesting. There's this entity in D.C. called the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council. It's sort of like a lobbying group. But again, they play a little bit of semantics where they say, well, technically, we're not registered foreign lobbyists. But they're hosting meetings all the time with defense contractors.
Starting point is 00:14:02 But they have sitting members of Congress, including Democratic Representative Marcy Kaptur, listed as one of their strategic advisors. It's like there really is no meaningful difference, I think, between what the country is doing when they're sort of tangentially related to the government and it not being a direct asset of the government. But frankly, even I'm sure you guys remember how FTX was partnered. I believe it was with the Ministry of Digital Transformation in government entities that have been caught up in corruption. There are, I would say, dozens of those avenues that you could pursue, too. But the media is never going to do that. So they're just going to play word semantics with like kill lists versus not try to kind of straw man or I guess maybe still man the argument. They're trying to rebrand Ukraine as a sympathetic country that is justified in getting billions of American dollars.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And a sympathetic country like Ukraine would not be capable of having a kill list because they're democracy, right? If Ukraine loses, they are the bastion of democracy. It is kind of funny that Ukraine is literally the opposite of democracy. Yeah. They'll just kill you if you're in the way.
Starting point is 00:15:17 They're suspending the elections. Hey, when the Washington Post said democracy dies in darkness, it wasn't a warning. They were telling you their playbook. That's what they want to do. Well, here's the other big news. We have this from Scanner, scnr.com. EU considers sanctioning Tucker Carlson over interview with Vladimir Putin.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Officials say any sanctions would likely require proof that Carlson is linked directly to Moscow's aggression, which is a meaningless statement because they will just come out and be like Tucker Carlson ran cover for Vladimir Putin. Lawmakers in the EU are weighing sanctioning news media heavyweight Tucker Carlson as a result of his forthcoming interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Tucker had met and talked with Putin, as did the former Fox News anchor himself in a post to social media platform X, explaining why he sat down with the head of Russia.
Starting point is 00:16:05 EU officials are considering imposing a travel ban on Carlson, who they say is acting as a mouthpiece for Putin. Quote, as Putin is a war criminal and the EU sanctions all who assist him in that effort, it seems logical that the External Action Service examine his case as well. There's an important takeaway from this. I mentioned it in the introduction to the show. Why would anyone, political, celebrity, personality, journalist, why would anyone care that Tucker Carlson interviewed the president of a country we're not at war with? Are they going to cry and complain Xi Jinping came to California or came to the United States?
Starting point is 00:16:39 No, they don't care. Oh, it's because the reality is we are at war with Russia and what's going on in Ukraine is just the U S using them as a proxy to go to war with Russia. We all know it. Everyone in Europe knows it. Chuck Schumer said we could lose this war. And so there it is right in front of your face. The fascinating thing is at least when we invaded Iraq, we knew that we were going to war. They said it. Since then, I think the deep state, the establishment has just figured out, don't say you're going to war. Just do it. Just go. Here we are. It's wild. I mean, I think with sort of, we're talking about the rebranding of Ukraine. There has also been a longtime narrative that
Starting point is 00:17:21 Russia is the biggest enemy we have. And I think you're right to bring up China and especially everything, all of the comments about the Uyghur Muslims and everything else that has gone on there. We definitely treat these two world powers very differently. And I think, you know, it's obviously, in my opinion, brave and admirable that Tucker's going to interview someone who is controversial. I think the fact that so many European countries have said, we're going to try and shut Russia's access to the Western world down, both economically and socially, is disturbing. I think they are ultimately feeding a lot of propaganda to their own people. And if we're not at war, then what could Putin say? If he's such a horrible person, what is he going to say that you think you can't refute in your own media it's i if the russians were the aggressors and we wanted this war to end
Starting point is 00:18:09 then diplomacy would be good you could go talk to him maybe he would stop fighting but that they seem to not want diplomacy which indicates that maybe we're the aggressors here and it's kind of like if i come up to you and i'm like i'm not touching you i'm not touching you i'm not touching you but i'm an inch away from your face. I'm aggressing on you. Even though if you swap my hand away, I was the one that was aggressing on you. I think they don't want transparency. I think, you know, there were all these stories for a while. Vladimir Putin is super sick and he's going to die at any second and that will cause chaos. And Russia is going into an election year. If someone were to, you know, speak to Putin and say, are you sick? You know, maybe he'd lie,
Starting point is 00:18:44 but at least you would have a Western outlet asking a question instead of it coming telephone through Europe. I think the ultimate goal is to make it so Russia is too far out of touch for anyone to communicate with. And so you have to rely on agencies like the UN or other European, you know, large scale government entities to say this is what Russia is doing. Believe us, don't question it at all. And by the way, if all of these news outlets really hate state run media so much, I believe I'm not mistaken. It's the New York Times, I think CNN to the Washington Post, they take money from China Daily to run advertisements in their papers. These have all organizations and these journalists have all partnered with Chinese state-run media outlets.
Starting point is 00:19:25 I'm pretty sure Tucker said that they've reached out to Zelensky to try to interview him, but they haven't heard anything back. But you're so right, this narrative that they're opposed to peace talks and that you've seen at least in whether it's the Atlantic, CNN, you see op-eds all the time. And it's so interesting. One of the stories that we were working on at War Room, a lot of the refrain that like anti-peace talk narrative, even there was an op-ed, the title was like, peace talks are quote, counterproductive, which is just kind of an asinine take, in my opinion. But a lot of those people, the authors behind it, you know, are luminaries. I always say they're like the impeachment witnesses of Trump's first impeachment, like the Brookings think tank types who, you know, the elites that we should trust.
Starting point is 00:20:08 But they are all fellows and advisors at that U.S.-Ukraine Business Council, but they never disclose those conflicts of interest in those op-eds. So part of it, I think, is ideological compromise. They really do believe that Ukraine is like, if we don't win, you know, Russia, Russia, Russia, bad. But there also is a very clear financial interest there. And I just think it's interesting that they never disclosed that. Well, we have one of the greatest tweets ever
Starting point is 00:20:30 in the history of Twitter. And it is here. Glenn Greenwald tweeted, who were the American journalists who conducted even minimally adversarial interviews with Zelensky? To which Elon Musk responded, to be fair,
Starting point is 00:20:41 it's hard for them to talk while giving a blowjob at the same time. And that may be one of the greatest tweets ever made and uh i had i just screenshotted it and i had to i had to post it on x but but as much as all all of us are laughing and i'm sure some of you may be earmuff you know putting earmuffs on your kids and hoping you have to explain to them what that meant uh we do we we do have this from end wokeness a very pressing and important interview from cnn with zelensky of ukraine i'd like to play for you now this very very important interview as a human being so many people look up to you they rely on you no one
Starting point is 00:21:20 can imagine how hard that is do you do you anything for your to yourself? Are you ever able to take a minute to? To read or to listen to music or something to sort of give yourself that a moment I have such moments important to be in silence to be alone and early early in the morning When there are no sounds and sounds no people know not nobody i mean the people people our stuff i mean no no okay well clearly i think they added the music to that one but it is still funny wow that's like the music if the music is really on that that's amazing did they mess with the editing to like get the close-ups of her face looking sad because that is cringy well i i i think that's ridiculous yeah all that's an edit the questions from from Erin Burnett, that is really what she's asking.
Starting point is 00:22:07 It is the least adversarial thing we have ever seen. And that is what they expect of you. As a human being, that's what you call humanizing someone. So they're humanizing Zelensky. That's a tactic. That's right. And everyone looks up to him. So it's a very fair and even interview.
Starting point is 00:22:23 I mean, I don't think I've ever looked up to Zelensky. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not sure who she's referencing here. I think you probably looked up. Oh, wait. Here we go. Here we go. Zelensky reveals his favorite band.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Who is it? Three Dog Night. Ukrainian. I'll just play it. I think I'm pretty. Yo, if he likes Three Dog Night, I'm giving him a chance. We got an ad. A birth control ad.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Oh, nice. Thank you. Thank you, CNN. Unless I'm wrong. Hey, you you gotta pay your dues if you want to watch cnn okay if you pay extra and you're one of the rich ones they won't force feed this birth control commercials down your throat what is that i don't know what it was it might up birth control it was pfizer people look up to you they rely on you no one can imagine how hard that is do you do you do anything to yourself? Are you ever able to take a minute to read or to listen to music or something?
Starting point is 00:23:12 She looks like she's going to be horrible. A moment. I have such moments. It's important to be in silence, to be alone. Alone. How can I be alone? Alone, I can be with music. It's true.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Or with a book. And early in the morning when there are no sounds in. No air raid sirens. No people, nobody. I mean the people, our staff. Blah, blah, blah. I don't care to hear this. Who's his favorite band? What is it?
Starting point is 00:23:39 It says Classic Rock. They want to make you watch this video. I hope Tucker asked Vladimir Putin the same exact question verbatim. He's like, the Bee Gees. That'd be the best. No. Putin's going to name a Russian band.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Taylor Swift. This guy's going to name an American band or a European band. They're different people completely. It's such a psyop even down to what he's wearing. He always has to be ready for battle. He never takes off this uniform, even though when he's traveling, he's nowhere near any battlefield like i don't think he's ever anywhere near the battlefield that's true i think this guy is a tv character he is yeah i mean he literally was he played the president on tv but i think he i don't think this guy's ever seen anything close
Starting point is 00:24:19 to conflict they probably have in a secure location because he's basically uh you guys you guys have seen hunger games right yeah in the second one when he's basically uh you guys you guys have seen hunger games right yeah in the second one when they get katniss out you know of the games they're like keep her in the basement and have her make videos they don't want her going to war because if she dies she's their propaganda tool she's a rallying cry that's what they're trying to do with this guy i gotta be honest he's the least inspiring guy that could have gotten i mean seriously couldn't they have gotten some like dolph lundgren's like type ukrainian dude who's like filming prop propo videos on the front line ukrainian chick is that i was gonna say which one was him well they tried that with a trans woman
Starting point is 00:24:54 and that was like yeah but it was to pander to the liberals and the left in the united states so they could ask for money yeah i'll say who was hayden panettiere married to she was married to a ukrainian guy who was like i'm going to the field or whatever else, like much better than Zelensky. They need like a six foot five ripped dude who's standing there, you know, holding a weapon, being like, as the president, I will make sure. And then they film fake videos where he's on the front line leading the troops. This is just some guy who's in a park all the time and he's like not doing anything. Well, he walks around places that seem staged and well lit, looking of sad and pensive and so really in that sense he's doing exactly what they need him to remember remember that video that came out where the background was completely still and
Starting point is 00:25:33 the trees weren't moving in the wind and they were like people were like yo this looks like a green screen and they were no no it's not it's not a green screen what are you talking about you don't understand ukraine in our culture our trees don't move in the wind there is no wind yeah russia has stolen our way the trees can't blow because they're mad at russia that's the that's the state of the world they're still in protest for the things that we're suffering like it just becomes so ridiculous and i think you're right the amount of money that we're spending on ukraine considering this is this is what they're doing which is just to sort of take a... He has gone on so many international trips being like, please, money. He's like a professional fundraiser for his country.
Starting point is 00:26:09 And it seems crazy that when Tucker Carlson is like, well, I want to talk to the other side. Everyone's like, how could you do this? Possible sanctions. Like, hysterics. I just had an idea for something I would love to make if we had the means. And it's like, you take that scene
Starting point is 00:26:23 and then halfway through, you just zoom in on Zelensky and Aaron Burnett and you play like slowly increasing romantic music with no dialogue. And they're just looking at each other and then it escalates. There were some romantic undertow. Right, but then you have the Dolph Lundgren style guy
Starting point is 00:26:41 and you will film a different scene where he comes in and goes, Zelensky, get away from her. She's mine. Or it's Putin. Yeah, it's Putin. he comes in and goes Zelensky get away from her she's mine you still yeah it's Putin he comes in he's like you cannot have her she is mine and then uh it just soap opera style you know and then Aaron Burnett is like Putin you can't be here you you died in that safari when your brother contracted malaria and then gave it to you no I survived with this and then he holds up like a golden, the Holy Grail. Didn't Justin Trudeau try to make fun of Putin?
Starting point is 00:27:09 He was at some international gathering of whoever cares. And there were these photos of like Putin shirtless on horseback that had come out, you know, a little, you know, whatever, man, like a little try hard, but okay. And Justin Trudeau tried to make fun of him for them. He's like, maybe we should all take it.
Starting point is 00:27:24 It was just like the most ridiculous, but okay. And Justin Trudeau tried to make fun of him for them. He's like, maybe we should all take it. It was just like the most ridiculous, obvious jealousy. I just find the hysterics around this whole thing deeply confusing. And I think ultimately trying to make Putin the bad guy is the only way they can try to keep the narrative going of this is something Americans should pay attention to. Well, it's because we're at war. I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:27:42 If Tucker Carlson interviewed like i don't know the the president of you know tajikistan or something or what i don't even do that i don't even know if they have a president nobody would care they'd be like uh whatever but tucker carlson interviewed vladimir putin and we're at war with russia so naturally they're freaking out i want to know why i still want to know why we're still at war. So was it to diminish Russia's power or is it to take control of the region? Is it both? I mean, it would be a both thing.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Well, it's both. Like, is it really like to full military global dominance right now? Because they're trying to do this new world order thing where they have all of us kind of technocratically bow to our overlord. But like, why don't they just get the US and Russia to go along with it? I don't understand why they're making them fight. Well's well it could be that rush it's all fake conflict i don't know i also just think it's such a double standard i know i make everything about about china that's the the war room rubbing off on me but um you know it is really hypocritical what
Starting point is 00:28:39 was it just one or two months ago that you know you have xi jinping right coming to san francisco getting the red carpet rolled out for him and i think you make the point precisely it's like we're basically at war right russia ukraine that's why it's okay not that's why it's not okay for tucker to interview putin so then china is obviously at war with us yeah it's not necessarily kinetic it's more of the unrestricted warfare type certainly information warfare so then why is it okay to have xi jinping on american soil and roll out the red carpet for him and have media outlets interview him and have them take cash from Chinese Communist Party? It's just it's such a double standard.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And it goes back to the original premise, which is that it's all about narrative control and suppression. Well, perhaps what will happen come November is Donald Trump wins. But in the meantime, let's jump to this very hilarious story from NBC News. Nikki Haley loses to none of these candidates in the Nevada GOP primary. That's right. Nikki Haley was running in the primary. She took it very, very seriously. She did.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Wait till you see the clip we're going to play from an interview. And she lost to none. That's right. She lost to no one's right she lost to no one quite literally like no one beat her no no no like quote no one end quote beat her like when people were given the choice between nikki haley and someone else anybody please not her somebody anybody please not her one and so it's been a an excellent day of memes andrew clavin said uh don't make fun of her for losing to none of these candidates. None of these candidates ran a great campaign and none of these candidates is qualified to be the president of the United States. Very clever. But where's that? Here we go. Let me play this clip for you so you can hear it for yourself what she had to say.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Does that situation in Nevada hurt a little bit? No, I mean, Nevada, it's such a scam. They were supposed to have a primary. Trump rigged it so that the GOP chairman who's been indicted would go and create a caucus. We knew months ago that we weren't going to spend a day or a dollar in Nevada because it wasn't worth it. And so we didn't even count Nevada. That wasn't anything we were looking at. We knew that it was rigged. Oh, I love, oh, it was rigged. From the start.
Starting point is 00:30:49 It was rigged from the start. Trump rigged it. She's an election denier. I just love this so much because she's like, it's quite, like, we should stop saying sour grapes and start saying Nikki losing in Nevada because she's just like, I didn't even want to win the primary anyway.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Like, who cares? It was rigged. It was so dumb. We didn't want it. It is actually dumb because she took it seriously enough to register to be on the ballot despite the fact that the rnc is awarding based off the caucus which is tomorrow like you she is now saying i know i'm gonna lose in the caucus in nevada so she's getting out ahead of the message of like well not only did you lose to literally no one you also lost to trump she's saying it never mattered which how could you like her if you're a nevada voter but you know that if she did get first place and none of these candidates
Starting point is 00:31:29 didn't didn't make a mark she'd be saying look that's trump's fault i won the primary those delegates are mine blah blah blah instead she you lose yeah is it zero rigged it he rigged it yeah he rigged it he rigged it she's banging she said it twice i think she did um she did she probably says it more i stopped the video 26 seconds in are they is it's nevada zero delegates is that what i was reading zero i thought they said they had zero delegates for the primary okay yeah the caucus they're doing a caucus to award i think what is it what is that it's because they want to remove his name from the ballot or something or what that's why they moved to a caucus yeah Yeah, I mean, so Nevada's weird because they tried really hard to say like in 2021, they passed this law saying we are actually the state
Starting point is 00:32:10 that gets to hold the first in the nation caucus or first in the nation primary. And they had been from what I understand of a caucus system beforehand. And this is all leading into the time where the Democratic National Party spent a lot of time saying, actually, we want to rework the entire schedule. We don't want Iowa and New Hampshire to go first. We don't think it represents the voter base, basically saying they're not diverse enough states. And so they want to lead with South Carolina and Nevada and go into a different schedule. And so you're seeing this year Republicans having races in some states, and sometimes they're held at the same time as democrats and other times they're not so like the south carolina primary for the democrats was uh february 3rd but the south carolina primary for the republicans is i think it's february 26th
Starting point is 00:32:53 right at the end of the month uh so because their parties are operating differently just like so the republicans saying well even though you have now passed a state law saying you have to have a primary we are still having the caucus and that's what we're awarding is very similar to what uh the democrats did in new hampshire which is to say even though it's state law there you have to have the first in the nation primary they they discouraged the democratic uh new hampshire democrats from holding one and they said if you do we won't award any delegates based on that so you're just seeing this bifurcation of we want to control the order in which states vote. I just pulled it up.
Starting point is 00:33:27 The issue is that they passed a law in 2021 to get rid of the caucuses. The Republicans said, that's ridiculous. Primaries are not secure. And they said, no. And they said, well, we're only counting the caucuses anyway. Yeah. So the RNC is taking authority over the states, basically.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Well, the state can say whatever they want, but the party's private. Yeah, both parties are doing this like if you look at new hampshire the democrat national the democrat the dnc was like we're not counting your primary votes because you are not obeying our order and the republicans said to devada we don't care that you want to hold a primary we want a caucus here that's what we've always done and so it's weird it's unusual on the other hand i think it just shows how much people don't trust the voter system. I mean, what the Democrats are selling right now is that if we follow the old order, we're basically following racism.
Starting point is 00:34:11 They have said, Andrew Biden has endorsed this, that we have to change the order of the states. They're really drifting far apart. I have a real question. There's a real one. What would possess Nikki Haley into figuratively standing in public and begging people to throw spoiled rotten garbage at her? I mean, like this is one of the most humiliating things a person could personally ask for. So apparently she's not going to be in the
Starting point is 00:34:40 caucus. Her name's not in the caucus caucus she's only in the primary and she lost to none of these candidates i i wonder if she actually thought she was going to win she's like with trump not in the ballot i get first place and then she doesn't and she gets beat by literally any like just not her does it mean that they wrote his name in that's basically no no one of the options was none of these candidates you could vote vote for none of these candidates, literally? And none beat Nikki Haley. I like double, too. I feel like this- I think double it was.
Starting point is 00:35:09 It was double. I feel like this spin, I mean, it just reeks of insincerity and probably focus group sessions of all of her big corporate and Democrat donors. But they're like, what is the Trump base really like? Talk about rigged elections. So that's what we're going to say. We're going try to like pull the trump card and be like oh it was rigged oh we didn't even like it's sort of there's something sort of like trump-esque about right the way that she's approaching it go on the offense you have to attack exactly but like it doesn't
Starting point is 00:35:36 work because no one actually likes you and you actually lost yeah she's an election denier now she is yeah you should join the club election denierier. Governor Joe Lombardo was one of the first people, at least I saw, I'm sure other people had said it, who said, you know, I am going to partake in the primary because that's what's happening in our state. But I'm going to vote for none of none of these candidates because I don't want anyone here. I'm he's always been a really big supporter of Trump. I just think Nikki Haley was hoping that there were, I think she missed, she underestimated the support that Trump has on the populist level, especially among state governors. I mean, not even the governor of her own state, South Carolina, which is basically the next thing that she's leading up to saying, I hope I can win South Carolina. None of the Republicans in South Carolina. The entire administration of government like all the republicans just endorsed trump everybody but i don't even think
Starting point is 00:36:28 the variable here is like nikki haley and what she thinks is politically wise for her to do it's the donors who are propping her up she's more or less uh to quote someone a listless vessel and i think that's right i think that she it's not about actually analyzing like boots on the ground voters it doesn't matter because she's not actually no she's not about actually analyzing like boots on the ground voters. It doesn't matter because she's not, she knows she's not going to win deep down to her core. You think she'd have enough self-esteem to be like, I don't want to be the puppet in front of all of this and be humiliated like this. Like she's saying stuff now that she's never going to take, be able to take back. And it just shows how unpopular she is.
Starting point is 00:37:00 I mean, where does she go in terms of her political career after being wrecked over and over again? Oh, but no, she'll run in 26. Or 28 or whatever. I just like, I, I, I just,
Starting point is 00:37:13 the most embarrassing thing a person could- You sort of understand her foreign policy, how they're okay with losing all the time. I, I just,
Starting point is 00:37:19 I'm sorry, like, the humiliation, the utter humiliation that she's experiencing and you can see it in her face. Like, no, it doesn't matter. We didn't even care.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Like, we even want to be in Nevada. You know, Trump rigged it. He rigged it. I didn't even hold on. I cared enough to register, but I don't actually care at all. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Which is it? Did you always know you were never going to spend any money in Nevada?
Starting point is 00:37:39 Or are you upset that Trump rigged it and you actually wanted to win and you got your name on the ballot i think she thought she was going to get it for sure and then instead she just got it like she was just standing right between the sewage pipe and my thoughts in public in front of everybody and she's standing there going i didn't want to stand here in the first place you're all dumb i didn't want to spend money it's like dude it's not that our grapes like to say that people have short memories is kind of vague generalization. It's not always true. Some people have great memories, but a lot of people reading the past history and watching the patterns. They don't they forget like Joe Biden resigned from his run for president in 1988 because he was plagiarizing humiliation.
Starting point is 00:38:17 No, you should never have a guy like that in office. But people whatever reason forgot. I was never told I had to find out through, you know, circuitous means eventually in 2009 or something. So I think she's going to be groomed to run as somebody's VP in 2008, 28 or 32. They're just, they're going to keep her around. And now this is good. All publicity is good publicity crap.
Starting point is 00:38:38 It's not, it's all good. All publicity is not good publicity. Not with the internet. It's a little different. With internet video, it's different. Like this, this is bad for her brand it turns her into a clown like holy crap i gotta say man you know that the pr people billions no such thing as bad press i'm like i kind of think there is like you losing to none basically makes you the least viable candidate ever this point moving on like you
Starting point is 00:39:06 can't run for anything you can't run for for class president at this point you can't run for the right right what federal position is available to her right now because she's not going to get a position in the trump administration that's just the way it is and you know she's not super welcome in her home state you'll hear interviews with house caroline voters who say you know she was a great governor i just don't see her as president or whatever else. But now it seems like the voters who have elected the current guard of leaders in South Carolina wouldn't support her either. I mean, they have drifted more favorably towards Trump. The longer she stays in this battle with Trump, the more she isolates herself from most Republican voters.
Starting point is 00:39:41 But I think she's more concerned about what the defense contracting industry thinks of her and what cushy gigs and retainer fees she'll be able to get i don't think she gives a i won't cuss but anything about the republican base so she wouldn't have first of all stepped in she would have stepped out a while ago and i think it's just sort of performative uh activism i would say to get a cushy gig whether it's raytheon, Boeing, choose your corporate, you know, sugar. She already had those. I mean,
Starting point is 00:40:06 she could have stayed. She is choosing to go back to politics because she craves the power is my assumption. I feel like she's being pushed. Like she's sitting in the driver's seat of a self-driving car. Ken Griffin gave her what he gave her a super pack, like $5 million. But then he was interviewed and he was like,
Starting point is 00:40:20 yeah, I don't think she's going to win. So, but it's not, I think why it comes off so disingenuous is that they're not giving money to her because they actually liked her ron desantis was sort of the first pick but then he obviously he was the sacrificial lamb it didn't work out then maybe it was going to be glenn youngkin now it's nikki haley so i think there's
Starting point is 00:40:36 that lack of authenticity because they don't actually believe in her it's just the way things have sort of happened the way the tables have turned have turned, the cards have played, it's like, she's the last one standing. And yeah, maybe she's a woman, so it makes them feel better. But I don't really think there's, like I said, she's a listless vessel for these corporate donors who oftentimes are majority Democrat, but she's just sort of a walking shell of their interests. You think those people care about the MAGA base, the Republican base? They're probably laughing, oh, these dumb idiots are going to think if we say the word rigged, let's focus group that word like that's going to go over with them because they're really into election denialism.
Starting point is 00:41:12 But it shows you how to touch. They are. I will give her credit. She learned how to talk while opening and closing her mouth. It was funny because I tweeted like Nikki Haley when she speaks, she doesn't move her teeth. And then it was it was kind of wild because there were people like, they got to be PR accounts and defending her saying,
Starting point is 00:41:30 your teeth don't move when you talk. And I was like, dude, your mouth opens and closes and your teeth are going up and down. But when she talks, she keeps her jaw still and she talks through her lips like this. It's like she's yelling at her dog. You know what I mean? Like, you know, you're making a dog.
Starting point is 00:41:43 That's the adjective. Terse. Is that what you're doing? Yeah you're like oh there you i will lock my teeth together you got the garbage against her energy style terse but in this i i noticed she looks terse i don't know she like figured out how to speak with uh opening and closing her mouth which she laughed nervously in the beginning of the interview until she's a mess right now what is nikki there you go you gotta drop out sorry nimrata so these people that are funding her campaign are they basically ready to profit off of global organization like global finance if the u.s amalgamizes into this new world order thing
Starting point is 00:42:13 peacefully just try and understand it you know ian i think i think you're too self-centered i think you gotta understand it from their perspective if someone came to you and said blowing up a bunch of kids would put a million bucks in your pocket you'd say yes right i don't think so you gotta but you got i'd like to hear more about the plan before i say no but try and hear it from a donor's perspective you know what i mean like you blow up a bunch of kids over there and you get money over here okay right that's the argument okay i'll play along i'll smedley butler this tell me more butler this why would anyone in their right mind like i guess they just love blowing up why they are would support this this is what i'm wondering i think there are a lot of people that are down are ready to profit on the transfer of power from the
Starting point is 00:42:55 american-led economic order to the new global economic order and they're like we're gonna make so much money off our black rock investments off of they already are and so if nikki so they're willing to put five million behind nikki because she's probably what i would imagine passively go along with it where they all want to be the one who has a president who's in their pocket right i mean you want to be able to call in the favors that's that's really why a lot of people donate to political campaigns to ultimately have influence over the candidate that's exactly what we're seeing going on right right now on the hill right with this immigration bill like most american people i think immigration is an issue that we're probably gaslit the hardest on.
Starting point is 00:43:28 But most average Americans have absolutely no demonstrable benefit from allowing illegal immigration, right? It's a wage killer. It doesn't make our city safer. But those same people who are donating to Nikki Haley's campaign, they love the open border. They love the cheap labor, right? They don't believe in sovereignty. I also believe there's an element of ideological compromise, too. But I think for so long, we've been accustomed to politics where there's really no meaningful difference between Republican and Democrat, right? Whether it's the uniparty critique or however you want to perceive of it. But I really think that's why Trump was so transformational, because he changed that and made the Republican Party really a party of the working class. And even you see Punchbowl's sort of analysis of what happened on the Hill today, specifically on that border bill. They said it was the death of the old Republican Party, right? It was so long, you know, it used to be McConnell could get his,
Starting point is 00:44:12 you know, watered down conservative border bills passed because there wasn't meaningful pushback. And I think the Nikki Haley's of the world, the Ron DeSantis's of the world, it's sort of that deja vu to that like pre-2016 era politics where all of the republican politics it was politicians it was like let's just choose do we want to bomb iraq or syria and how many kids do we want to kill it was basically just like picking the same style of just basically neoconservatism and i think that's why she's not going over well but that dying guard of donor they're not ready to give up yet right they don't they don't roll over without a fight and i would not want nikki haley to be my fighter even if she's wearing heels as i'm sure she'd be uh more than certain to point out her ammo i don't know what that means but
Starting point is 00:44:54 that's what she said honestly i have to say as a someone from la very into fashion like her heels aren't even cute like i don't know if i were going down the heel they They're ugly. Do you sell heels with your company? No, we don't do shoes. Mainly accessories and clothing. But hey, I would send Nikki Haley some clothes. I was going to say,
Starting point is 00:45:12 would you advise on her campaign? Well, most of our designs are like America first and low social credit score. So I don't know if she'd be into that because I don't really think
Starting point is 00:45:22 she believes in it. Let's jump to this story from SCNR dot com. Large majority of Republicans support the idea of Trump being a dictator for a day. You know, the funny thing is Trump didn't actually say he would in the literal sense. He was just like when he was asked, only on day one. And so we could drill for oil and secure the border. And it's like, OK, well, what people are actually suggesting is that you just go and arrest everybody. Military tribunals, I think Roseanne asked for 74 percent majority of Republican
Starting point is 00:45:50 voters say they support the idea of former President Donald Trump being a dictator for a day if he's reelected. A new survey from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and YouGov found 36 percent of independent voters also support the prospect. Wow. I don't. I support Donald Trump using his legal authority, which he already has and doesn't need to be a dictator to start getting rid of the corruption. I want evidence. I want criminal trials. We don't need a dictator just to go in and start deciding who should and shouldn't be. I want the public to see the evidence. I want it to be historic. I want it to be documented. I want it to be historic i want it to be documented i want there to be a book a wikipedia entry talking all about all the evidence that was
Starting point is 00:46:30 uncovered and how donald trump got an ag in there and cleaned this place up i like the hysteria around the donald trump uh dictator for a day comment because it's like they're just hooked on cartoons and they're expecting the villain to be like, well, my plan is to become a dictator. Like you think someone who actually wants to be a dictator leads with I'm going to be a dictator. Well, but to be to be fair, it's the distinction between cartoons for 10 year olds and well, actually cartoons for five year olds and cartoons for 10 year olds. The cartoons for 10 year olds are a little bit more sophisticated than that. Like I mentioned this before. It's a great line from Justice League where Lex Lututher the super villain is running for president and when one of the justice league confronts him a character called
Starting point is 00:47:09 the question luther luther says do you have any idea how much power i would have to give up in order to be president it's like even 10 year olds understand the the context there and these people are thinking like it's it's it's like they're five and the villain's like i'm going to freeze the earth yeah snidely whiplash you guys ever watched that no it was um bull rocky and bullwinkle that's some pretty basic stuff that was right in your face snidely was like the guy was like he was always like the villain you know he's twirling his mustache literally i gotta tell you because this this you know i saw this story i'll wait by this guy i met in uh in dc quite literally told me just you wait when donald trump gets elected you will lose all your rights i'm like bro they're concerned it's projection though i think joe biden is i mean
Starting point is 00:47:55 cliche but the true dictator you look at whether it's the weaponization of the doj the lawfare the way the way that they're conducting global affairs, it's clearly just projection. And I think the old way that they did the projection playbook was sort of the Russia, Russia, Russia, like foreign collusion, because obviously the Democratic Party and, of course, establishment Republicans do, but are always colluding with foreign foreign governments. But I think they know the Russia trope is sort of used up. I think you used to see the like Black Lives Matter stuff always pop up right before elections. Right. That's I think they realize the like ad hominem racist pop up right before elections right that's i think they realize that like ad hominem racist attacks don't work as much anymore and now i think they're really going down they have like two i would say concurrent strategies one is like the oh democracy
Starting point is 00:48:34 is going to die and die in darkness and trump is a dictator oh even you know appeal to like the neocons like oh we must preserve our our way of life but i also think the sort of other other route that they're going down um is i don't know i i think it's really just like i don't know it's just it's just always projection and it's i don't know it's it's it's just the same it's like you could do that with every story i kind of think we're headed towards a wartime presidency as many people try to refer to it i don't know what to do i don't know how you saw this problem but a bifurcated culture a post-modernist and a you know like traditional american republicanist world they can't coexist and so i don't think it's a matter of what anyone wants to happen it doesn't matter if you want trump to be a dictator or not
Starting point is 00:49:21 there will come a point where there is no question yeah you're not allowed to ask trump will not decide it will just be in front of you when you when you when you face down with like far leftists trying to seize territory in cities like they did in 2020 shooting and killing people eventually get to the point where you're like then we have to have armed guards and creating checkpoints it's not a question of i would like or i would not like when the far left if the far left violence exceeds a certain degree there will be a response and then you'll walk down the street and you're going to have national guard and they're going to be like you know you need an id and you're whatever and you're going to be this
Starting point is 00:49:56 dictatorship and they're gonna be like okay if we leave the far leftists will come in with their guns again and then what do you do you create a republic like what is it the like thesis antithesis synthesis whatever that is it's like i think the reason why i think there is some truth to this poll in the sense that joe biden is such a weak man trump is such a strong man and i think when you look around the country and you see particularly what's going on at the southern border i mean i think you make a valid case for wanting a a strong leader who's actually going to protect national sovereignty. And I think in some ways it sort of reflects that longing, that yearning for America to be a country again with a leader, with a government that actually does something to fight for the people. And it's not all totally decentralized and sent out to all these swampy bureaucratic agencies. Like I think from a social perspective,
Starting point is 00:50:47 the desire for a dictator, there is something interesting there in terms of how it interplays with I think a lot of the critiques we hear of like decentralizing and deconstructing the administrative state, right? Because that really is the way of diffusing power to unelected bureaucrats. And I don't know about you,
Starting point is 00:51:00 I personally would rather have dictator Trump than President Trump compounded with, you know, like bureaucrat, you know, overlord Fauci and Milley. And that's probably it. Yeah. When it comes to this question, people are probably saying there is too much corruption in D.C. It is a swamp and you need someone to just go in and drain it. If you don't know how to solve the problem, you may lash out at stupid solutions because you just want to get this problem over with. If the problem is deep state corruption, that's a big
Starting point is 00:51:29 problem. How do you solve it? Well, a lot of people are like, I don't know. Best thing I can think of is some guy goes in and does it. But there's ways to do it, technical ways to do it. You just got to have controlled power sources. You got to have control of mass media like airwaves, like radio waves and stuff like that. If have your own satellites things like that you can kind of maintain open systems where information can be traded um behaviors can become transparent and then i think the system kind of solves itself i i think part of why people who support trump understood that the dictator comment was more about i'm going to take action immediately is because they're tired of the way that the Biden administration does implement authoritarian culture while pretending they're for you. They're pretending they're for democracy.
Starting point is 00:52:15 And I think the idea that someone would be direct and be like, yes, on the first day, I'm immediately going to do these things is refreshing. It's appealing. Like you're saying, it's an appeal to strength. And I think the is notoriously unpopular and he doesn't have the approval ratings that really I think would predict an easy win to reelection. And so ultimately, Trump, by just being direct, saying these are the problems you're facing and i'm gonna fix them and if i have to be uh you know if i have to make that my number one priority from day one i will do that for you makes people feel like they can trust him to change whereas the biden administration is sort of always saying a lot of things and doing nothing i mean right to talk about the border they they initially with all of the razor wire stuff said you have to pull the razor wire out
Starting point is 00:53:04 because it's inhumane and people will drown and they're like that's why i put it texas says that's why i put it there because we don't want people to swim across the river it's dangerous at which point the biden administration said actually you needed our approval for that and that's why you have to take it out i mean the biden administration is ultimately trying to keep the borders open and they want there to be a flow of illegal immigration into the country but they won't just say that and so that fact that someone would be like, yes, I would be a dictator to turn the ship, to make things right, I think freaks out people who know ultimately Trump
Starting point is 00:53:35 has the same values as them and wouldn't be a dictator, as opposed to someone who is constantly saying, no, no, I have your values, but I'm lying to you constantly and doing one thing, claiming to be doing another. Yeah, because if you say, I'm lying to you constantly and doing things, doing one thing, claiming to be doing another. Yeah. They, um, cause if you say I'm not a dictator, but you're signing executive orders over and over and over,
Starting point is 00:53:51 then you are a dictator and you're lying to people. Yeah. I'm not a dictator, but you all have to wear masks. I'm not a dictator, but you have to leave the military. If you don't get the vaccination, I'm not a dictator, but I'm going to fight the state's rights to defend itself until I,
Starting point is 00:54:02 I, you know, am left at the point where states are starting to turn against me. I'm not a dictator. You are. But I'm actually going to do everything I can to maintain as much power and be disruptive. I'm not a dictator, but my family's going to profit millions of dollars on contracts with China and Ukraine. Right. I'm not a dictator, but my son's going to get a really, really nice plea deal until you guys catch it. And I have to sort of pretend otherwise. I got like two thoughts. One is Trump. He kind of got caught out of context saying that he was going to be a dictator
Starting point is 00:54:28 on day one they asked him in that interview are you going to be a dictator again and he's like not even listening he's like only on day one i'm gonna close the border he was joking and yeah and he wasn't really even answering the question they asked he was just like on day one i'm going to do some extreme stuff but this fervor for that even people would consider wanting this dictatorship in any way is like Roman Republic stuff. I mean, Julius Caesar came back with his troops and established a dictatorship because the Republic was so busted. Was it 200 years of prosperity? Well, they wrote the history books, so it's tough to tell.
Starting point is 00:54:54 And I'm sure the Roman, the rich Romans were getting on very good. But there's no way for society. There's no way for 200 years you suppress dissent from people fleeing the country, especially in that era. Man, I have no idea. They wrote all those history books it's tough to tell they just conquered and conquered yeah but anybody could go could just leave and be like here's what happened and people would know you know what i mean like it would be within the writings of all neighboring nations whatever that it was terrible within the roman empire there was no prosperity i don't i don't hear a lot about the brutality of the romans i know that they were brutal to the non-romans to the to the sub
Starting point is 00:55:22 citizens you know the slave class and the foreigners that live there, but they don't talk a lot about it in the history books, at least not the ones I've been reading. And we have talked about this quite a bit that are we in the collapse of the Roman Empire or the start of the Roman Empire? Yeah, it's like the Republic is shuddering. I would say that doesn't mean it's going to fall apart necessarily, but it feels like the walls are shaking right now shaking right now and like whoa what's that green ooze pouring out of the walls how long has that been in there what if there's like 10 years an attempt on trump's life and it causes him like disfiguration to his right side but he also has to use like a voice box so he's wearing like a mask and then he's just like i have dissolved the senate this is the new American empire. Yeah. No mace window heroics. We don't need any of that.
Starting point is 00:56:08 We've got to, I'd be, I don't know, man. I don't know if it's cyclical, if there's anything we can do to help stop the, or make it better. I'm sure there is.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Just going to be, I wonder the transition from the American Republic into the new world order. Like it's, it's going to be, we're part of a bigger global system. Now the Republic's got some awesome ideals. And if we can inspire free speech all over the globe, into the new world order. It's going to be, we're part of a bigger global system now. The Republic's got some awesome ideals. And if we can inspire free speech all over the globe,
Starting point is 00:56:30 that could be part of the system. That's not part of the global agenda. Corporations don't like free speech. They want the owner of the corporation to run the show. That's the problem. I think part of the reason that they have been so adamantly opposed to Trump winning this year, and they've really, I think,
Starting point is 00:56:44 ratcheted up the attacks, particularly on the lawfare front. I think if you look at a lot of these kind of global agendas, whether it's like the UN and their sustainable development goals, the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset, a lot of, or even the Made in China 2025 initiative, but a lot of these kind of master plans, I would say the kind of ideological underpinning or framework, like if you really drill down as to what actually constitutes the new world order, they're all set to conclude in 2030. And I think if you do the math, right, 2025, the term would start, it ends 2029. A Trump term now is like a second, third Trump term would be absolutely, I mean, a death knell, I think in some ways you could argue,
Starting point is 00:57:25 for a lot, or at least a strong impediment for their ability to really roll out a lot of these global agendas. And I think that's why they are in such heavy, full-out panic mode about ensuring that Trump doesn't win this election. Yeah. And I think that's backed up by the way he ripped up the Trans-Pacific Partnership day three after he got in was like, we're not selling the WHO. I think, you know, you can definitely make the case that he could have done more. But put it this way. If the only person in between us becoming, you know, New World Order, WHO, WEF, UN slaves, would you rather have it be Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, or Joe Biden? Well, I know Trump a little better. I know the people that know him anyway, and I'd like to hang out with them. But I think that if he starts saying like, yo, we all want a new world order. This American military base everywhere stomping on the neck of humanity is not good anymore.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Let's figure out a better way. If he was like opening, he's like, we're going to make a new world order, and it's going to have American ideals at the center of it. A new world order with American nationalism, economic nationalism. But I don't think I think I mean, we're not speaking on behalf of Trump, but his conception, I think, particularly if you look at how he has reformed the Republican Party, putting back in that economic nationalist populist perspective at the bedrock of that is sovereignty and the bedrock of sovereignty is borders. And that concept of borders and nation states, whether it's the Westphalian nation system or what we should have here with a secure southern border, that is fundamentally at odds with the concept that these new world order type groups are pushing, which is global government. Right. Because that implies that we're global citizens and that there's a global sovereign. And I don't think that Donald Trump or the kind of new version of the MAGA Republican Party believes in that to any extent. And I would say look no further than the fact that the guy who was advising the WHO on drafting a lot of the pretext to the current pandemic treaty that they're debating was Joe Biden's top biohealth advisor. So there's this very, very icky overlap between a lot of the WHOs that even Joe Biden's
Starting point is 00:59:25 supply chain sustainability coordinator is like a World Economic Forum alum. So all of these people have like weaseled their way in to really, I was going to say subvert, but it's not to subvert the Biden regime, it's to amplify. And I think to really complement what is this idea of global government, this idea that being an American doesn't mean anything. Look no further than the fact that in New York, they're handing out IDs to illegal aliens. That is like such a metaphorical example
Starting point is 00:59:50 of what American citizenship means to these people. And it means nothing because they don't believe in borders because they're globalists to their core. Let's jump to, with a hard segue, to some cultural news
Starting point is 01:00:00 because this one's awesome. Shane Gillis is going to be hosting SNL on Saturday. And this is important for all of you because he was fired by Saturday Night Live in 2019 for surfaced jokes he had made on podcasts many years prior, where I think he did like an Asian accent and he made what they called homophobic jokes. So SNL said, you're fired. You can't work here anymore. Now, considering many see him as the up and coming star in the comedy circuit, one of the funniest comedians in the world, SNL asked him to host. And once again, the woke machine is trying to cancel him. But, oh, it's so funny. It's not working. NBC News writes with Shane Gillis returned to SNL. Asians ask when they'll stop being the punchline. I just love this so much.
Starting point is 01:00:48 I don't count. Everybody knows that. I don't count. But, you know, if I were to agree with them, I would. So first I'll say, I agree with the woke left on discrimination and all that stuff. Now, as officially an Asian person,
Starting point is 01:01:02 because I agreed with you, don't forget, I'm not asking this question at all. Quite literally don't care if he does an asian accent people do it all the time i'm not gonna cry and whinge about south park in fact i love the city walk guy he's great we all love him it turns out he's a white guy the whole time did you guys ever watch that one no it turns out the city walk guy was like the chinese guy the chinese food restaurant so it was okay the chingyels made fun of it then. Right. He didn't make fun of that, but it turned out, you know, the South Park guys canonically. Yeah. Canonically.
Starting point is 01:01:29 He's actually a white guy who's got like, what does he like to get to Friday or something? I think there are like levels of comedianship that you get to where you're no longer canceled. Like Dave Chappelle, like some guys are so awesome that it's just like, you let them say whatever. And Shane's one of those guys. And financially secure. Right. I mean, that's part of it it you're able to say whatever because you you risk less i just listened to shane gillis's podcast with um theo vaughn and i don't follow his stand-up very much so i don't know what he's like normally but it was definitely interesting during the episode
Starting point is 01:01:59 hearing him be like oh you gotta be careful like you're not supposed to say stuff like that it seems like cancel culture has definitely had an effect on him. Yeah. I mean, maybe it's a confidence boost to be able to go back on a show that was that fired you over something you had, you know, you couldn't take back and you kind of had no control over. That really made his career, though, to be honest. I know that he recognizes that, too. particular podcast if anyone wants to go watch it because Theo Vaughn brings up a lot of points about this exact thing within the whole comedy world and this whole like being
Starting point is 01:02:29 canceled. They don't even really care about what you do and don't even like the stuff that you're putting on the world in the first place. They're not going to drop him from hosting. I'm willing to bet then I bet he's got a contractual agreement. I bet they were like we want you to host and he was like okay but you can't cancel because people are going to be pissed and they're like no we get it there's no way snl did
Starting point is 01:02:47 not know this is we are winning so massively that snl is now doing a turnaround remember was it did they fire norm mcdonald yeah there was some other moment where he's like and then he hosted and he was like you know i got fired from the show for not being funny yeah he's amazing look at this this is the collapse of of woke dominance in in in the media there's this other big news that they're gonna have they're gonna they're they're recasting pirates of the caribbean for a younger cast and they're gonna have the main character played by like a young black woman and this one's interesting because it's like it's a hand-me-down this it's not gonna work it's condescending it's insulting i we were talking about this like eight years ago with when they
Starting point is 01:03:30 would try and race swap characters you're taking you're taking a character that is beloved and known who is like a white dude and then it's a hand-me-down character like oh yeah by the way we make them black and a woman and and now you've got a character i was like no you didn't make an original character right i feel like that's way more insulting to say we'll just sort of recycle something else. Also sort of unfair because that depiction of Cam Jack Sparrow
Starting point is 01:03:51 is so iconic. I mean, people really loved it. That's why there were so many of them. Of who? Parts of the Caribbean is Jack Sparrow, right? Yeah. Okay. I don't know any pop culture.
Starting point is 01:04:01 So when you question me, I immediately lose confidence. I don't understand what words you said. It sounded like Conververs. It sounded like Cam Darrow. I don't know what it was. And I was like me, I immediately lose confidence. I don't understand what words you said. It sounded like Camdaro. It sounded like Camdaro. I don't know what it was. And I was like, what? I'll start again.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Jack Sparrow. So the depiction of Captain Jack Sparrow is so iconic. People loved him. That's why there were so many of them. To say, not only do you not get original content because we don't actually really care about giving you something fresh as an actor to work with, we're also going to set you up to be directly compared to a character people loved always. I mean, that's like setting someone up to fail.
Starting point is 01:04:29 I feel like not only do they get the chance to perform sort of authentically with their own talents and skills, they also just live in the shadow of this white guy forever. So who's that guy? Kumail Nanjiani or whatever his name is. Yeah, it's Kumail Nanjiani. Kumail Nanjiani. He apparently like had to get therapy because get therapy because his Marvel movie bombed. Did you guys see this?
Starting point is 01:04:48 Seriously? Yeah, I think Scanner has it. Nothing wrong with therapy, I guess. Sure, but it was like his movie did so poorly. And I just find it funny because this DEI stuff getting called out, Disney, Elon Musk suing, SNL is literally asking a white man who's been attacked relentlessly by the left for being
Starting point is 01:05:06 like you know anti-asian or homophobic or whatever they're just like we don't care we're gonna we're gonna totally bring them on i'm just like the writing's on the wall for these corporations they know they're losing money by doing all this woke stuff and i think it's only a matter of time the movies all fall in line the fact that that uh kumail guy had to get therapy you think they're going to consider him for another lead role in one of these movies? Look at the Marvels. The worst grossing Marvel movie ever. Worse than the Hulk, which like nobody even considers to be part of it, even though it is.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Is that not counting inflation? Just pure numbers? Just gross terribly? I mean, it's only been like 10 years, so I don't think inflation is playing a big role in those numbers right now though to be honest considering the past four years maybe my initial thought was the dei is just i mean the curtain's been pulled back it's so disgusting to force certain races into positions of power just because of their skin color but they're not even positions of power like at a corporation like we're gonna hire you for that role considering that role a position of power you got the job that's the power but don't they do that anyway it's not it's not no they have
Starting point is 01:06:06 di di hirings even if it's just a random corporation being like it's not it's not a position of power so uh for instance i've actually experienced this you know having worked in an office with a bunch of women i have worked with very capable women who are substantially better than half the guys there was one uh producer that I worked with at Vice and later at Fusion who was like literally one of the best. And they treated her like crap. And when her documentaries actually won awards, she wasn't invited. And I'm like, see, that's a good example of them just being like, so it happens. However, that being said, there were also women who were hired just because they needed women. And then at meetings, you'd get like, do we have any ideas for
Starting point is 01:06:45 for pitches and the guys would say something like here's insert mediocre idea another guy would say here here's insert slightly good idea and then the woman would go here's insert the worst idea imaginable here's a woman idea and then everyone would be like yeah we're not interested in that and then later she'd be like they won't listen to my ideas because i'm a woman and i'm like i gotta i gotta be honest like that was bad like there. Like there's Emmy award-winning journalists here who are women. Like it's not because you're a woman, it's because you're bad at this.
Starting point is 01:07:09 And the problem is when they do these quotas, it is not the best person for the job. Like Mark Cuban is purely wrong about this. Yeah, I think it's becoming obvious to people. Like it's similar to the border crisis. It's very obvious to most people that, and it seems obvious to the producers at snl they're like yo this our cast has been floundering like the show i've only seen
Starting point is 01:07:29 clips over the last three or four years but it's been bad it's been really really bad and shane can come in there and show those guys how to act like even if it's just for one night they're hanging out for a whole week he's one of the funniest comedians on earth like he's got a vibe that's like chill but aggressive i think it's really good for the show to have him there yeah i mean have him back but the thing is it's for business they're doing this because they want the show to be profitable and that is what concerns me that business is more powerful oh it shouldn't concern you it's good if they want if they have them back because they're like hey this is much better for us that's great because they're doing a but i do they're saying hey they're writing from the wall like tim said that we don't want to do this woke thing anymore because all it does is
Starting point is 01:08:06 we go broke we lose money we go we go broke like that's what we've been saying for a long time I think it's a good thing I I think we have to reflect on the fact that they they fired him they could have had him there balancing out the cast from the beginning and instead they were like no you're too risky we don't want you here and now they pay the price for it literally day one yeah which is crazy which i mean if they it's almost like recognizing that they maybe could have i i don't watch snl so i don't really know you know what what they could have done but theoretically if you had this other voice this other perspective on comedy you would have balanced out your writing in a way that maybe
Starting point is 01:08:38 would have kept you more culturally relevant i think so although arguably yeah i think you're right for sure shane being there would have been a good influence on the comedy and they had the option they they chose to say no you're too bold you're risky we don't want to be on the cutting edge and then they sent themselves back right they aren't that interesting anymore yeah the downside could have been that snl clammed him up and kept him on but kept him quiet and not funny because they didn't want to piss off the wrong people yeah i think this whole thing and being quote-unquote canceled was like like i said earlier like it kind of made his career and he's definitely realized that and i think if he if like like
Starting point is 01:09:12 you said he would have been like kind of uh you know hemmed up from actually being as funny as he really is and being able to explore what he's explored i would also argue that the the career path for stand-up comedians is really broadened with the advent of podcasting and youtube and the internet and things like that like when if you if you listen to like you know tina fey talk about it doing improv being part of these big groups launched you into hollywood launched into movies whatever else they didn't have the same outlets and so in some ways maybe by not having to immediately get on that machine he was able to develop more in more authentically as a comedian because he had to say like well this is what i'm going to do and this is
Starting point is 01:09:50 how i'm going to continue to hone my craft as a stand-up comedian it used to be upright citizens brigade in chicago or it was like improv groups and then those people would kind of fast track up to the snl thing but now like rogan dude shout out to joe rogan for putting shane gillis on the map because when shane got fired it was like he probably thought his life was over. And then Joe is like, well, actually, you're one of the coolest guys I know. Come on my show over and over. And now they're like best friends. They're like in a group of really good friends.
Starting point is 01:10:15 So nice job, Joe. He knows talent when he sees it. Shane is so awesome. I mean, it looks like they're getting, you know, in the last week, 4.5 million viewers. Is that up or down i mean it's it's literally down from like a long time ago but i think they're actually doing moderately well right now snl like steady i don't know it's hard it's hard to find the exact numbers to be really honest but it is regardless yeah i wonder how many of those numbers how many of
Starting point is 01:10:41 those people watch it live anymore it 11.30 on a Saturday? There's so many other things. 4.5 million. But there's so many other cool things you could be doing on a Saturday night than watching TV. I don't believe it. I literally do not believe it. When we have, like on the internet,
Starting point is 01:10:55 you have hard numbers right away. And even those are somewhat hard to track because you still get bot traffic and things like this. But then you get like Nielsen ratings where they're like, we estimate based on some boxes. Oh, that's awesome know it's like it's like the family guy joke where the tv executive gets a phone call and he's like we just got 10 complaints that means 14 billion
Starting point is 01:11:13 people are mad yeah you know that's how it works so they're like oh five million people watched i'm like i don't buy it because i honestly don't know anybody who could name a cast member of snl and i know people are going to say like that means you're not going outside bro i go hang out national harbor i go hang out these at these at these places with regular people all the time and these things are just like i have no idea could could you guys name a single cast member right now on snl i mean oh keenan keenan wait even still on a show yeah what's his real name uh i don't know his real name but i would i was gonna say michael to say Michael Shea and what's his name? Kanye Jost.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Like those guys. That's it. They're on the show? Yeah. They're like writers. One of them's married to Scarlett Johansson. That's what I know. Kanye Jost.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Oh, okay. Look, I know pop culture. I'm aware. Pete's off the show. Pete, I know his first name. He had tattoos. Pete Davidson. He's not on anymore, though.
Starting point is 01:12:03 But didn't he only just play himself over and over again? Yeah, kind of. Sometimes. He's kind of, he's funny. Who's that girl? That one girl too. No, I guess the answer is no. That one girl and that guy who's married to her.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Like it's rough. I mean, I don't. Michael Shea, Colin Jost. Who else is there? Kenan Thompson. Oh yeah, right. Yeah, Kenan. You can name all the men, but none of the women.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Yeah, who are the girls that are on this show? Irrelevant to us, apparently. Apparently. I don't know. I have this list, and I'm like... The show was... Bowen Yang. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:38 It's like it's a lot to live up to. Kevin Walker. Chloe Trost. Never heard of them. I know Kenan Thompson. He's an OG. He's been since all that you know what i mean sarah sure i have no idea who these people are are this all of them forever
Starting point is 01:12:49 yeah ego nuodim no idea who that is um michael longfellow molly kearney oh i've heard of molly i know molly kearney i've heard of her punky johnson funny name james austin johnson i don't know um marcello hernandez heidi gardner chloe fineman that one sounds kind of familiar andrew dismukes mikey day michael shea we know that michael shea he's got viral clips maybe because i don't know with the internet like comedy is more real and so this corporate comedy is like obviously corporate they can't say fuck on snl but i can say it on youtube you know and it's actually enjoyable on on this venue but like on that they're still like bound by these weird yeah and it's just not the only place you have to go anymore so maybe people who would have
Starting point is 01:13:39 auditioned for it and tried to get in they think i'm too edgy they won't take me anyway so i won't go and i'll start my own thing over there i mean in some ways it's it's good right because it gives other people options to start youtube channels start podcasts do more live presentations uh i think that again i i feel like i can't totally critique it because i don't watch snl regularly but i just think that we have moved away from cable tv as a culture and so this is not cable tv what is it this is free terrestrial network nbc television yeah even then like i feel like people have just moved away from it they moved away from like uh programming like um what
Starting point is 01:14:19 do you call it scheduled programming yeah it's everything people if you want to listen to something you listen to it on demand and so there's not the same level. I mean, I guess this is live. So that sort of brings an element to it that maybe you'd want to watch, but I don't know. It just doesn't seem as attractive as a form of entertainment anymore. Yeah, man. I used to watch it in the nineties with a Wayne's world. I mean, that's where Mike Myers and Dana Carvey started. Wayne's world was a, was a, I was going to say a YouTube skit. It was an SNL skit. Thanks YouTube for building yourself. Shout out to Chad Hurley and all the guys making this website. What a
Starting point is 01:14:50 groundbreaking technology this was. Yeah, it was revolutionary. We got Ryan Long. We got all these awesome comedians doing their own thing, but they don't have a TV show like Theo Vaughn and Brian Callen and Joe Rogan. If they had a show like SNL, that'd be pretty badass. I want to talk about this story. We actually overlooked it from a week ago,
Starting point is 01:15:06 but it's about something we talked about. And I think we just never, it never fit into the schedule. The Boys star, Aaron Moriarty, quits Instagram after Megyn Kelly's plastic surgery claims. Okay, first, it wasn't Megyn Kelly's claims. Megyn Kelly was picking up on a meme that everybody else was talking about.
Starting point is 01:15:24 And it's actually got its own Know Your Meme page. But the meme was, someone posted this picture of Erin Moriarty. She's an actress. She's on the show The Boys. And they said, women need to stop getting plastic surgery. And they showed this image of Erin Moriarty. She does, she absolutely looks like she got tons of plastic. Yeah, I got to be honest.
Starting point is 01:15:42 Do you guys remember when The Weeknd did that bit where he put the bandages on his face was he like the grammys or something and then when save your tears music video came out his face was all goofy looking and everybody thought he got plastic surgery but it was just a joke like her face looks like that i'm not trying to be mean but it looks like yo what did you do here's the crazy thing she she i don't think she explicitly said i never got plastic surgery she said it was like it was false don't say that actually oh yeah we have the know your meme page where they uh they talk about i wonder if they have i think they'll have the original uh viral photo it was this one right here royce lopez said women need to stop
Starting point is 01:16:21 plastic surgery until we figure out what's wrong. Why would you ruin your face like this? This is Erin Moriarty from The Boys. She was already very pretty. What she responded with, because this is where it started. She went after Megyn Kelly. I guess Megyn Kelly had the platform that she thought to target. But a lot of big shows, a lot of following. We're talking about it.
Starting point is 01:16:39 And she was like, that photo's from when I was like underage and I'm very young. And this photo is like new. And she's like, they're all false. But she clearly looks very different. She claimed it was just like makeup. But everyone's kind of going after her over it. Because there's a photo here. And I think this one's more recent.
Starting point is 01:16:54 Here's what matters. She ends up deleting her entire Instagram. And I don't know if she got plastic surgery or not. It certainly looks like she does. And many people are saying, yeah, you did. Here's what matters though. You you know she thought she looked good she thought this like right here can we pull that up she thought that looked good and so the question is what is happening with social media that there are women who are like, I want to look like this. And then, I guess inversely or subsequently, you get such a backlash to people saying you look gross
Starting point is 01:17:32 that she deleted her Instagram outright. She didn't delete, like she deleted all the photos and then put up a thing being like, screw you, Megyn Kelly. I kind of feel like, you know, I don't want to be dick to her because I don't know her or anything like that. But we've got this filter crisis and this Instagram image crisis for young women. But this is actually as bad as it is a promising sign moving forward that these filters and the surgery is resulting in a negative backlash. And they're starting to realize, like, don't do this to yourself.
Starting point is 01:17:59 You know what I mean? Yeah. Like lobotomies. I would. I'm not saying it's like a lobotomy, but they went through the phase of- Like really, really thin eyebrows that were really popular in the 90s. Like, no, don't do that. They had to learn how horrible the lobotomy was to stop doing it to themselves is what I was saying.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Same with plastic surgery. I am so adamantly opposed to whether it's plastic surgery, fillers, even Botox to some extent, because I think young women are being told, we were talking about this before the show, I think it's some sort of derivation of refinement culture in the sense that you think just because your lips are bigger or whatever you get done, if your eyebrows microbladed or whatever, like you will look better. But it's not. I think once you enter that realm, it's like that picture. Frankly, to me, again, no disrespect, but she looks like an alien. Like she doesn't look human, whether it's the buckle fat removal or whatever she's doing. And I think you're very correct in terms of like the psychological harm to young women with the filters and you see stuff online
Starting point is 01:18:55 and you're like, what? I don't look like that. And there's that side of the issue. But I also think too that you have been seeing, although you guys probably don't because you're not young women, but maybe you share the same sentiment sentiment like they are really really really pushing botox and fillers at a much younger age now like i always talk about my mom with this like it seems like now the age that they're trying to prime you to say that botox you need to get it is like 22 23 where it used to be in like that's the that's the new thing like kylie jenner yeah because of that and i think in some ways the critique of that is like the big pharma right like this big beauty right wants people to be buying into the system i figured it out and because you have to maintain it i know
Starting point is 01:19:34 it's intentionally being done by these big tech companies to convince women to start looking more and more plastic and fake so that way when the androids start integrating in society, no one will know the difference. No, I honestly thought for a while it was because it's trying to make everyone's face look more the same. Because if you get surgery, like I think I referenced this tweet once, but there were some girls like, I asked my surgeon if the Botox I got my face is going to make me, how many years it's going to take off me.
Starting point is 01:20:01 And he's like, no, you'll just look the same as everyone else who's Botox, who's your age. And these things tend to come in trends right so like right now they were all getting the the fat taken out of their mouths which makes the cheekbones more prominent or you know maybe they'll all want eyebrow lift so they're all do their eye like some of it is makeup something you know the same way but then when you're doing this face technology it's because all the faces are averaging out to be the same thing but not in a good way so i love this uh this trope about
Starting point is 01:20:25 like old people pulling their pants up really high. We used to have this in like the nineties, the TV shows would always make fun of old people. There was one where like, I can't remember what cartoon it is, but it's like the character gets turned into an old man. And as soon as he does, his pants go straight up to his armpits. That's not because old people do it. It's because a generation did it. And so the younger generation did not do it. The idea that it was because you were old was just because people saw old people doing it all the time. Right now, we don't have a generation of elderly plastic surgery up tattooed plastic people. It is going to be wild when we do.
Starting point is 01:21:02 Could you imagine in like 40 years what these people are going to look like? What the buckle fat that you're taking out is going to look like. Oh, man. Jeez. I was being serious with Kylie Jenner. They're like, their cheeks are going to rot open. Like there's nothing in there anymore. And I mean, this girl, I don't know. I already did say, you know, when I was younger, my face looks slightly different.
Starting point is 01:21:15 That's fair. Everyone's face changes a little bit as they age. But all of the women who get Botox or anything else, that stuff has to be maintained or it shifts. I mean, you see this over and over again with celebrities who have had bad work done or just work done really early. They have to continue to go under the knife or under the needle, I guess, to get it maintained, which means to your point, they're always paying for it. They are consistently a customer,
Starting point is 01:21:39 let alone the fact that like some of the augmentations that you can get done can cause you, you know, different issues. Your body can reject, you know, breast implants or whatever. They're making it so you're medically dependent for a long time because you're always trying to look younger. And the fads that change are all, the fads always change. So you're constantly trying to adjust your face to fit in with the youngest generation. I think it's the irony or I guess paradox of feminism because I'm sure they say, oh, I can do whatever I want with my face. I wear makeup for myself, right? I'm getting my buckle fat removed for myself.
Starting point is 01:22:09 But it's not. You're seeking validation from other people. But the prime beneficiary and people who profit off of that usually would be slamming big pharma. But it's the big beauty industry. And I don't know if you saw that trend about like the young girls
Starting point is 01:22:21 who are like eight years old going into Sephora. That's crazy that eight-year-olds are wearing so much makeup and i have to say this is a hot take i am i'm just i am so anti-plastic surgery having grown up in los angeles i have seen so many young girls to the point i'm like i don't even think it's legal to operate on you get work done where it's like you don't need it you're the most beautiful you'll ever be you're perfect and but i think it's sort of like transgender inspired i know that's a weird thing to say but i i think if you look at some of the surgeries and the stuff that they're getting done it is the same thing it's like masculine and
Starting point is 01:22:53 feminine faces look more similar it's the same stuff that male to female transgender people get and oh wow yeah it makes it's like if you make it so all the women's faces look the same and they look actually like they have some masculine tendencies you're normalizing people who are like right i'm actually gonna live this way you know it makes femininity easier to achieve when the concept of being a feminine woman is like you know the bimbo look of huge lips huge brows big cheeks because then guys fake eyelashes all of this stuff yeah The other part is that that women just like people come out and say, I regret, you know, genital alteration surgeries. There are people who come out and say, I regret having this worked into my face. This was Bella Hadid somewhat recently who said, you know, I had this nose job, I think when she was like 16, pretty young. And she said, the nose that I had was reflective of my culture and ancestry. And I wish that i hadn't have changed it i mean the things that women are doing to feel like they are achieving the instagram level of beauty is so disconnected from reality that if they unplug from it i think that they wouldn't hate themselves so much i mean it looks like she got lip fillers doesn't it she got lip fillers because it looks
Starting point is 01:23:58 like the shape of her lip changed she got her brows i think microbladed. Nose job. Definitely nose job. I do think, you know, a lot of women, their faces lose fat. But it's too dramatic. Filler is a huge thing. She said all these videos are false, but never explicitly said, I never got surgery. And so a lot of people responded being like, stop lying. But there are like videos from plastic surgeons being like, dude, she didn't get surgery. It's like she was saying that she got her contours done or whatever.
Starting point is 01:24:27 What is that? Like makeup? Yeah. Like she has something emphasizing her cheekbones. That is true. You can see it on her face. But I think it's enough where I would think that she has some kind of implant or something. She used to not have a jawline before.
Starting point is 01:24:38 Now she has a jaw. Yeah. She had a much more round face. And it's not enough to be like, oh, well, I just grew up. I lost the baby fat. Like it's more dramatic than that. And it's not enough to be like, oh, well, I just grew up. I lost the baby fat. Like, it's more dramatic than that. And that's fake hair, too. I would also argue that, like, she looks like she's had a brow lift because, like, the hooding on her eyes seems different to me.
Starting point is 01:24:53 In a way that's not just like, oh, I got older. My face changed. Like, it's too dramatic. It's wild that she took this photo of herself and she was like, I look good. And then she posted it. She looks like an alien. But everyone around her told her she looked good. woman who did her makeup the woman who did her hair they're like the woman she paid to do her makeup right and who get exposure if she's they're
Starting point is 01:25:11 tagged in her instagram post and otherwise that didn't work well how do i look like her they got exposure who's gonna hire this makeup artist now there's three things transgender people three things that um are make women attractive to men i told lately, is symmetry, the hip-to-waist ratio, and the illusion of health. So it's not necessarily that they're healthy. It's that they seem healthy to the man. And if they're watching the Tucker Putin interview. Well, that's the hottest. That goes without saying.
Starting point is 01:25:40 You're at a bar, and she's on her phone, and you look over, and she's watching Tucker Carlson interview Vladimir Putin. Or she's watching Tim Katz. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. So they're going for symmetry with this plastic surgery. But it does not seem healthy. That's the problem with plastic surgery is it doesn't give off the illusion of health. It gives off the illusion of I've got botulism in my face or I've got some weird chemicals under my skin. It's so risky.
Starting point is 01:26:03 I saw this really funny meme. And it's like woman. And she's looking at a shampoo bottle and it says shampoo for dry and damaged hair and then it's like man and it's like six in one men's hair armpit knees skin cloth carpet engine cleaner it's like that's about right yeah i go to the hotels and it's like shampoo and body wash and i'm like what you're like okay i just hate when these people i'm pretty and it's like shampoo and body wash. And I'm like, what? You're like, okay. I just hate when these people lie. I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. I think they're lying to everybody. And they say like, I'm doing it for myself.
Starting point is 01:26:29 It's empowering to me. It's like, just cut the crap. And then I'm sure like these- Women are doing it for other women. Of course. I do think there is an interesting- She did not complain about the guys who said it. She's complaining about Megyn Kelly.
Starting point is 01:26:40 But like, I feel like women perceive what- When women think what is attractive, they're looking at it from a very female perspective. In other words, like what girls consider attractive is different from guys. And I think in some ways, I don't think that that that is attractive at all. But like what women have been told is attractive coming from, I guess, a big beauty. I don't know what the right term would be. But is that look like that is that is an on trend look.
Starting point is 01:27:04 It's on trend i think that's the perfect way to put it which is like women are looking to see if you're on trend if you're doing the current things right whereas men because a lot of it is biological the things that they find attractive or desirable kind of stay the same yeah but beauty industry standards and trends change all the time so women are looking to see if you are like fashionable whereas men are looking to see if you're attractive and i you know do whatever you want to do if you want to look attractive for men if you want to look trendy for women it doesn't matter to me you just have to acknowledge i think this is the problem with you know she got upset with megan kelly because women are not supposed to attack or be mean to other women but i think true friendship would be able
Starting point is 01:27:40 to say like hey i don't think that's the best look for you i don't know that you need to go get all of these fillers i think you're okay the way you are well maybe women women friendship man friendship would be like oh what did you do to your face bro but she's getting off she's doing more harm to young women by passing that off is natural and acting like people have noses like that and your brows could be that full and your hair could look like that. And you're like or that growing up three to four years, you're going to look that different. That is a much more harmful narrative than women pointing out. Hey, you made some really dumb decisions.
Starting point is 01:28:16 You messed up your again. We weren't saying she was ugly to begin with. I think the real tragedy in the story is that she was a very beautiful girl. Yeah, but her argument is she didn't get surgery you're just calling her old what's wrong with being old like this is no no this is the point she said she did not age she did not get surgery she got makeup done and everyone's posting a picture of her when she was young saying she was beautiful and then a picture of when she's old saying she's ugly like it's not just this one photo it's the uh there's uh where do they have it this this uh this photo here on the left
Starting point is 01:28:51 where's here we go this one wheels on a shopping cart be like and it's her when she's like 17 and then her when she's like 30 and this is what she's saying she's like i didn't get surgery you're just posting pictures of me now being like you're ugly so it's like she got old and now they're calling her ugly oh wow i wonder if she is has an eating disorder and it's just a lot of makeup i mean is that possible her cheeks are sunken in right here and it makes her cheekbones stick out much more than when she was like younger or whatever she has a very round face i also feel like that buckle fat look first of all it's like so on trend with all of that that hollywood crowd and that's just not a very natural physiognomy thing, I think, for a pretty round-faced American person to have. Maybe if you're Native American and you have super high cheekbones or if you're Eastern European or something.
Starting point is 01:29:35 But I just don't buy it. What about makeup, do you guys think? Because I've always found it's like, yeah, I think it's unnecessary. I feel like it clouds the woman. Like it kind of. I agree 1000%. And I think part of the critique is that a lot of the times I really don't think you look better.
Starting point is 01:29:53 Like I said, I think it is refinement culture to some extent. Like, yeah, your lips will be a different shade, but different isn't always better. And I think too, I think a lot of these, this is what I've sort of learned, you know, the toxic chemicals and the endocrine disruptors and all the phthalates and all these products aside, like it really is just an industry that preys on the vulnerabilities and insecurities of women. And that's why I think the real irony and how you see it really be weaponized, that prevailing narrative, right, that women do makeup for themselves which is bs it's not true
Starting point is 01:30:26 but the corporations need that narrative because that helps their bottom line i think that's why they blend it right now the big movement is to have it be like skincare makeup right like all of the things you can have are actually skincare and so it's not makeup and whatever else when when actually women have worn makeup for hundreds of years like if you want to that's fine but i don't think that you're ever going to be able to wear enough makeup to fundamentally
Starting point is 01:30:47 change your face. If your face is fundamentally changed, you have probably turned to some kind of intervention. Remember when Jordan Peterson talked about why women wear makeup?
Starting point is 01:30:56 Yeah, it's to enhance. It's to make the woman look like she's fertile, like the lips. Yeah, the lips puff out. They become more red. Blood rushes to the lips. So they're simulating that.
Starting point is 01:31:06 Yep. I think it's transhumanist. I think a lot of this stuff is part of a transhumanist movement. It all started several thousand years ago when women were rubbing berries on their lips. For sure. That was the beginning of transhumanism. There really is a difference though. And not to get too in the weeds with makeup.
Starting point is 01:31:19 You guys don't strike me as the makeup tutorial type. But like there's a difference between i think putting on like darker lipstick and like lining your lips and mascara that is like enhancing your natural beauty but what you really saw with the kardashians and the shift in this was this concept of contouring which is literally adding different shades and hollowing out parts of your face to change not enhance but to entirely change your face and when you see those crazy youtube tutorials of like the different shades of colors the shades of brown around the eyes again i'm wearing makeup i'm happy to admit that there's some that say like i remember there's a tutorial
Starting point is 01:31:54 it's like how to look like you had a nose job without actually getting nose job it's like her really intensely using all kinds of shades to change her nose and at a certain point you want to be like what are you going to do when you have to take that off? There's the eye thing too. Yeah. The women have like they put white slightly around their eye
Starting point is 01:32:10 to make their eyes look bigger. Is this all like the Kardashians? Is that late 90s? Early 2000s? 2000s. Because that's when things started to change.
Starting point is 01:32:17 In the 80s it was way too much makeup. Big hairspray. Then in the 90s people started to get more real. Women started to look normal. They'll always go through friends. And then it shifted. It exploded
Starting point is 01:32:26 in the early 2000s. I really think that the trans community, I'm not saying it's the individual trans people, but whatever the agenda, those nefarious forces, I think they loved the commodification of womanhood and femininity as orange foundation
Starting point is 01:32:41 with really hollowed out shoe bones. But I'm saying saying what you're seeing in the way women's makeup is going i think it is going like a drag route in some ways right well and the rise of uh the kardashians uh to me it coincides with the rise of male youtube makeup artists getting really popular who would do these really strong contours who would have these really block brows and that look is somewhere between the kardashians and drag and it sort of stayed that way and became trendy among young girls what i love is if you're a male youtube makeup guy you probably are more likely to get sponsored you are more likely to get sponsored by a makeup company because makeup
Starting point is 01:33:21 companies had 50 of the potential market share because only women do it. And so their mentality is, if we convince men to wear makeup, we will double our market share. And so, and you get a bunch of male influencers. You go into Sephora now, and there used to never really be pictures of men.
Starting point is 01:33:38 Right. Now you go around, and it's not just men. It's like, meh, men. We're going to go to Super Ch chats because we're going over so if you haven't already would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this channel share the show with your friends head over to timcast.com click join us become a member because the members only uncensored show will be up in about a half an hour and you don't want to miss it it'll be at timcast.com on the front page and we're having a live event in one month we're gonna put up tickets

So smash that like button. Let's go. Tim Jake says your broadcast is up early today. Now, sometimes it just depends on if we know what the story is and it's easy to do.
Starting point is 01:34:35 So we're up here before doing pre-production, choosing story selection. What's the top story and things like this. And, uh, this one's obvious. Tucker Carlson news was huge that you sanctions and then of course we're waiting for that interview to drop and then you had these viral tweets to the tune of like five to ten million hits on twitter claiming he was on this hit list so he definitely wanted to address that daniel uh carimian tucker planned on interviewing putin when he was with fox until his team discovered the nsa was spying on them they were reading his texts and emails yeah i think i heard that that's like a big deal
Starting point is 01:35:08 barely a millennial says trump v anderson case on scotus docket tomorrow how do you see that going also if you've never watched 24 you should could never be made today anderson that's the um that's that's the uh ballot case let me double check before i say anything i believe that's the um that's that's the uh ballot case before i say anything i believe that's the ballot access one right i think so he's got so many cases that sometimes when it's the specific name yeah uh court related to the 14th amendment united states yeah i think trump has declined to appear but this will be interesting to say the least um should be really really interesting i mean what if scoda says no he's out that's why matt gates and elisa phonic were like we're gonna have this resolution saying he did not insurrection you know what i mean yeah it's definitely strategic i i think
Starting point is 01:35:53 it's unlikely that they say he's out but i i just don't trust anything it's hard to make a prediction they're gonna say convict him they're gonna say if he's not been convicted you can't remove him it could be interesting though they may come back and say elections are to be held in accordance with the state legislators, legislature's approval as per the Constitution, period. Have a nice day. The Democrats are going to say that, of course, because all the Democratic justices care about is whether or not they gain power for their for their cult. The conservatives are going to be like, we are honorable and have integrity in the Constitution, says the states are in charge. That's it. conservatives are going to be like, we are honorable and have integrity. And the Constitution says, the states are in charge.
Starting point is 01:36:28 That's it. They're going to say, if you run your election the way you want to run it, we got no issue. In that case, Maine pulls him off the ballot instantly. Trump could,
Starting point is 01:36:39 with RFK Jr. in the race, Trump could win Maine. That's the craziest thing. Not that he would, but, you know, if RFK Jr. pulls pulls enough away let's go keith says super packs have to go yeah not a big fan but there's a challenge you can spend your money however you see fit i was arguing with these dudes uh in like 2012 outside of cpac i shouldn't say argument i was talking and like dan elash was outside and
Starting point is 01:37:03 everyone's like all gawking at her all these leftists were like look who it is it's her she's evil and uh i was like i don't like the idea of all this unlimited spending in politics because it just means the wealthy have instant access that regular working people don't and then they were and then some guy said to me he was like you have money on you and i was like yeah and he was like okay you can't spend it on these products i said so and i'm like we do that all the time we like kids can't buy beer you can't buy you know uh certain contra things. We could certainly say you can't spend money on politics. His argument was I should, I earned the money. I worked hard. I should have a right to spend it on whatever I want. And if I want to buy a billboard saying, vote for somebody,
Starting point is 01:37:38 that's my free speech. And I was like, sure. But we do as a government say, some things can't be bought. You can't go to a grocery store and buy do as a government say some things can't be bought. You can't go to a grocery store and buy heroin. So there are some things you cannot spend your money on. And that was the gist of the argument. I do understand that argument. I do. I agree with the concept.
Starting point is 01:37:56 If I want to buy a billboard, why is anyone allowed to stop me? It's my free speech. That's a pack. Political Action Committee says we want to do it. How do you tell them they can't spend their money on what they want to say? So there's rules. not that anyone follows them christina passafong says shout out mason de champs aka pro-life spider-man he free climbed the sphere in las vegas today let's get him on irl really well i will say you know a lot of people a of people, a lot of the publicists who hit us up don't understand what IRL is. This is a topical news commentary show, not an interview program.
Starting point is 01:38:30 That's why we launched the Culture War, which you can find over at Tenet Media on YouTube. That's the interview show. Yo, Mason is awesome. I met him at Turning Point. We got to have him out here someday. Culture War, I mean. Yeah, he's a great human. It's entirely possible he's capable of handling a news commentary show he does like if you want to know about someone's life story yeah culture war fits better yeah he'd be great
Starting point is 01:38:54 talk about climbing like he climbs buildings it's crazy with his bare hands let's get it sterling wilson the third says don't worry i. We've all been there with loud eating and drinking, LOL. Thanks. I'll never forget tonight. Oh, yeah. Eloy Lopez Curio says, thank you. Thank you so much for reading my last comment yesterday about my books. I literally screamed in my car.
Starting point is 01:39:14 I watch all every single day. Blessings, amigos. Right on. Well, congratulations. Good luck. Happy to hear. Justin SLA says, Daria Dugina is marked as liquidated on that list yeah a lot of people are pointing out the list that tucker carlson is on has a bunch of people and they're described as
Starting point is 01:39:32 liquidated when they die so you know and she was assassinated so you know yep they're just just keeping track of what's going on they They don't have anything to do with it. All right. The Sig P says, Gonzalo Lira died in Ukraine, but it's not a kill list. That's exactly why I said it's half wrong, half true. It's not a literal kill list.
Starting point is 01:39:59 It's a list of, it's an enemy's list. And we know what happens to people who are listed as enemies. So it's like, but more to the point, it was half true because he wasn't just added to a list a list he's been on it for months so everyone's like he was added to this list because it was interview with putin as i was in there he's on it in august you know what i mean like they've not liked this guy for a long time so certainly man tucker better be careful you need some good security you know what i mean
Starting point is 01:40:21 all right wyatt caldenberg, 24 reminds me of 68. Nam peaked and people were talking World War III. The right and left were talking Civil War. LBJ was so unpopular, he wouldn't seek a second term. King and RFK were feared by the deep state and shot. Yikes. That's why you want to remember history.
Starting point is 01:40:42 So you're not doomed to repeat it. Yeah. Gamer J says, if the border protection bill included an allowance of 5,000 Russians into Ukraine daily and 5,000 Palestinians into Israel per day, they would all vote against it, including the media. They're all corrupted. Yeah. ALX had that tweet say saying propose a bill that allows 5,000 Russians into Ukraine every day and see what they say. Yeah. They'd be like, no.
Starting point is 01:41:08 And House Democrats are also, I mean, they're voting down standalone bills. They want all of the aid and everything lumped together. I don't understand this. Like, if this is something that's so urgent, these countries desperately need funding. Why wouldn't you compromise and vote on a standalone bill? Instead, it's like, no, everything has to be lumped together. And so we can sneak these weird provisions in the the difficult thing is they tried to do a standalone israel aid package but fiscal republicans were like no way
Starting point is 01:41:36 we're not funding israel but the strategy there was to force the democrats to reject it and i guess they sort of they sort of got that because it was voted down and it was it was only 14 republicans but that's kind of the idea now democrats are going to have to uh explain to most people why they're choosing the path they're choosing and opposing israel i just don't think not that they could say anything that would make sense. But I maybe I'm just optimistic on their voter base. The October 7th thing, the October 7th terror attacks and mass killings really caused problems for the establishment and the woke. Like BLM's posting the paraglider. This is the point the Republicans are trying to make.
Starting point is 01:42:21 Force the Democrats into a position they can't win. I think that people think the deep state is like an american thing but it's like bigger than this country caro astas says headlines when tucker interviews putin putin propagandist deserves to be imprisoned as a traitor to democracy headlines when bbc interviews putin heroic journalist gives us closed curtain view of the raving authoritarian madman bent on democracy's destruction. Yep. I love this. There's like this BBC guy and he's like, Tucker Carlson says we've not even tried to interview him. Of course we tried. He just won't let us. It's not surprising, dude. You work for the British government. You are at war with Russia. Of course he won't grant
Starting point is 01:42:58 you an interview. Tucker Carlson's a private citizen who is considered opposition media in this country. Of course he'll get an interview. people are so dumb why do you think it is these leftists don't come on this show we invite them every single time because they view us as enemies and they know that we will debunk all their lies that's it they're full of it handful of them will come on the honest ones but that's about it. Honest, but wrong, perhaps not wrong on everything. I am happy to say that when, uh, destiny and I were talking about, you know, uh, gender ideology and things like that, I had many facts that were wrong and we corrected them on the air and had our discussion to determine what we thought was right and wrong. And I respect destiny,
Starting point is 01:43:37 though. I think he's wrong. Um, I think we agree a lot on facts, but I think he has bad moral opinions. That's, that's really what it comes down to. The rest of the left, they just make things up and then claim other people make things up. My favorite thing was, you know, I gave that shout out to Taylor Lorenz when she was like, Tim Poole's not a journalist. He only comments on other people's stuff and he's dishonest. So I'm kind of like, okay, if I'm only referencing other people's journalism, you're saying these journalists are putting out fake news. I'm being dishonest by reporting on what they've said is basically her point okay i'll take it i
Starting point is 01:44:10 guess but i will stress i host an interview show once a week that's journalism otherwise christian amonpour is not a journalist i'd like to have taylor lorenzen uh for the culture war that'd be cool well she would not do it because she would get obliterated. Like everything she says, I'd be like, here's the New York Times saying you're wrong. What say you? And she'd be like, you're being dishonest. I'm like, I guess the New York Times is wrong.
Starting point is 01:44:34 Okay, next subject. Here's NPR saying you're wrong. I mean, let me do this. What do you think Taylor Lorenz would say if you went to her and said there are serious concerns that China was taking people's DNA through COVID tests to create a dna database what do you think she'd say that's crazy you're it's a conspiracy npr reported that my favorite story it's like npr reported this that's the source google it npr reported fears that china could be collecting dna through covid
Starting point is 01:45:00 tests bgi genomics is that the company there you go bgi genomics but you know she's gonna be like that's not true that's a conspiracy i think anything she you would present as from you she would disagree upon his face because there's but none of it's for me like she said right but you wouldn't lead with npr said this so she'd be like oh tim everything you're saying is oh right right and then when she said that's crazy i'd say oh you think that's fake okay here's npr that's where i got the news well npr must have brought this up to dissuade like i just think that there's a level of not wanting to have a conversation with anyone they know they're alive like when taylor lorenz doxxed libs of tiktok it was unquestionable doxxing literally posting an address and then
Starting point is 01:45:44 claiming but that's not her current real address and it's just like an address she wants you so it's like dude no one is arguing the depth of doxing no one is arguing it's third degree doxing versus seventh degree doxing we're saying you posted an address which very well could have been hers at the time, and in fact was hers, and she had fled from it. So it's like, but I didn't doctor because she wasn't there. Oh, shut up. That's so stupid.
Starting point is 01:46:13 And then she got mad. Apparently, after we put up that billboard, I teamed up with the Daily Wire guys to put a billboard in Times Square that said Taylor Lorenz docks libs of TikTok. Hilarious. Apparently, I hear behind the scenes, she was like fuming and demanding like legal action.
Starting point is 01:46:25 And they told her they couldn't do anything. It's a protected opinion. Like defined doxing. And here's the funny thing. If I was wrong about that as a statement of fact, yeah, she could have sued. But the reality is they probably told her, look, if you sue him, he's going to show the news article saying you did this. And then a judge will bang the gavel saying you did this. And then how are you going to show the news article saying you did this and then a judge will bang the gavel saying you did this and then how are you going to deny it she can deny it right now
Starting point is 01:46:52 until the court says so all right saddle effing tramp says tucker interviewing putin is the inverse of jane fonda in vietnam this is the highest treason to the establishment searching for truth for the truth crazy days garrett russell says am i watching days of my life or cnn in reference to the zelensky interview that's what i was saying we needed like a long lost twin brother to appear and be like you've stolen the presidency from me brother what i thought i trapped you in the ice caves in antarctica you know what i mean then like we never found out what his favorite band was that's what i was waiting for oh i still want to know i'm i'm gonna watch the video after this i need to know
Starting point is 01:47:35 it's gonna be like what's it what's it what's a bad company no it's got to be like a band that is famous but kind of like you know like earth wind and fire no they're great how dare you how dare you you don't think we just pick like the beatles to seem relatable to everyone he think he'd go a little bit lower on the list it's gotta be a classic rock band that's famous but like when you say you go oh you know what i mean like oh like you can't name earth wind and fire that's a that's that's a little bit more famous as a Cardinal. I'm going to go with the yard birds. No,
Starting point is 01:48:07 no, no. Earth, wind and fire. They're great. When you say earth, wind and fire, people are like,
Starting point is 01:48:10 wow, they're fantastic. Zelensky's got to name a band where you go. Really? You know what I mean? Like I guess. Yeah. I guess they have a good song,
Starting point is 01:48:21 but like, does anybody really care? Yeah. And he's like, just a naming albums. Like really? That, that could be it. Yeah. The turtles, like they had one big song and they does anybody really care? Yeah. And he's just naming albums. Like, really? That could be it. Yeah, the Turtles.
Starting point is 01:48:27 They had one big song, and they had a couple little ones. Can you name any songs by the Turtles besides Happy Together? No. Not off the top of my head. Not anybody? Chat? I don't even know who the Turtles are, to be honest. Happy Together.
Starting point is 01:48:39 I don't know what you guys are talking about. Oh, yeah, I know that one. Right. You didn't even know the bands. He has a good point. He'd say the Turtles, and he'd go, who? He's going to say something
Starting point is 01:48:52 that really hits home with a lot of people. So famous band, really well loved, Zeppelin. What if he said Taylor Swift? That'd be hot. But he is saying,
Starting point is 01:49:00 it is being quoted as band everywhere, so that makes me think that it is, in fact, a band. Is he going to say U2? Is U2 a band or just So that makes me think that is in fact a band. Is he going to say U2? Is U2 a band or just a person? Yeah, but they're not classic rock. I can only find the video.
Starting point is 01:49:11 U2 isn't classic rock? What if he was like Ace of Base? I was just listening to them. Remember Ace of Base? Live, I watched them. Today I was watching Ace of Base and singing it in the house. That's wild. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:24 All That She Wants. Here's another baby. She's gone tomorrow, boy. All that she wants is another baby. Mason Pace is great. If he said that, I'd be like, oh, it's kind of obscure.
Starting point is 01:49:32 The Cardigans. That's a good band. Yeah, they're good. I like the Cardigans. My favorite game. Did he say classic rock? That's all he said. I guess.
Starting point is 01:49:39 Well, I think of the 70s when I think classic rock. Anything in the 80s is more modern rock. If he said Tears for Fears, I would get angry and tell him, you stop listening to my music. That'd be cool. You don't listen to my music.
Starting point is 01:49:51 All right. Federali Actual says, between Timcast and Lukecast, my airwaves are filled with truth and liberty. If only Rumble wasn't so buggy. Stop being buggy, Rumble. Also, zipper tits is my new favorite word. That's from something, isn't it? So here's a funny story we were at uh you know that yeah well we were we were at uh hard rock seminal in miami
Starting point is 01:50:12 and uh jerry seinfeld was uh performing i guess so it was nuts how crowded it was sold out shows i guess and alex stein there. So we're all hanging out and Alex Stein is a crazy person. So I like playing $5 games. That means like you bet $5 and then you get cards and you know, like minimal risk. It's for fun. We hang out, we sit down, we go, Ooh, look at me. I got ace King. Alex is like, come on, man. We got to play a hundred dollar blackjack. Let's go a hundred dollar per pull slot machines. You film these videos. They go viral. I'm like, come on, man. We got to play $100 blackjack. Let's go $100 per pull slot machines. You film these videos. They go viral.
Starting point is 01:50:46 I'm like, Alex, I'm not putting $100 in a slot machine for one slot pull. You're giving your money away. Let's play blackjack $100. Like, no, I don't want to play this game. It's too much money. And so he convinces us because, you know, we're weak-willed people, I guess. But I thought it'd be funny to like, okay, I'll take it. I'll say like 200 bucks.
Starting point is 01:51:02 We'll play $50 blackjack. And we got destroyed by the like the dealer was hitting 21 like crazy. And so, uh, I was like, okay, well like that, I lost like 300 bucks. I don't want to play big hands like that. Normally it's like, you can play the lowest possible number and you can play for a long time, play craps, $15. You'll, you'll, you'll play for an hour off 30 bucks and then uh we'll go over to one table and it was like it's a 50 minimum game and i forgot what game we were playing i think it might have been um man what was it i
Starting point is 01:51:38 can't remember all i know it came out to like 200 no it was five oh it was crisscross crisscross poker and it was 500 a hand because the minimum was it no no it was a 500 max i think or i'm getting wrong basically if you bet 50 you have to bet it on two different sides because it's crisscross there's two hands that per game confusing whatever okay and so i'm like okay i'll i'll play like one hand maybe because alex wants to go crazy anyway that's not the story the story is i hear some guy behind me go whoa and i look i look back and he's looking at like the stacks of green chips and i was like yeah dude it's like 500 a hand he goes yeah and then he and then luke is sitting there and then he just looks at his friend and goes he goes on his show all the time but he never goes on his show and
Starting point is 01:52:23 then we all started busting out laughing. Who's he pointing at? He was, he was, he was pointing at Luke saying he goes on his show to me, but he never goes on his show. And then all of us at the table and everyone around started busting out laughing. Like the people who knew who we were.
Starting point is 01:52:37 And it was funny. Cause like Luke goes on IRL all the time, but I never go on. You got to go on the best political show. We're going, we want to get you on. Okay. But to be fair, like his show is new yeah they're doing good they're doing real good it was funny that he said it because like luke does come on all the time but anyway that
Starting point is 01:52:53 was the story uh but also it is a very very funny story that alex went crazy had no idea what he was doing how to hit but he was like come on man i'm watching these videos on youtube these guys are getting like a hundred thousand hits because they're gambling all this money he's like tim when he puts the hundred dollars in and hits the button and it comes up jackpot i feel like i got a jackpot and i was like okay dude i don't want to spend money like that but it was funny like alex was betting crazy amounts of money did he win so he was doing really well at first and he was up like a lot of money and then he lost it all yeah restraint that's a big part of victory he was playing a hundred dollar hands and he was doing like three blackjack hands and he was he was hitting it and i'm like he was on one that night
Starting point is 01:53:33 like for the first 10 minutes we were all up like 500 bucks and then the dealer couldn't lose after that he just started hitting everything just non-stop and then uh and then you know alex was like i've lost too much money. I think he won it back, though. Okay. Actually, I'm pretty sure he did. He was like, I want to go to the high limit room. And I was like, oh, geez.
Starting point is 01:53:53 And then he went and he bet a bunch of money on Baccarat and hit and made a bunch of money. I don't know. It was wild. He wasn't there for a long time. He was there for a good time, you know? I could see him. He'd be like, what's up, Tim? We're in Miami. Let's just play. Let's just win all this money. He was there for a good time. I could see him. He'd be like, Tim, we're in Miami. Let's just play.
Starting point is 01:54:06 Let's just win all this money. We're here. Let's go. Can you Venmo me? Can you Venmo me? I'll give you, give me the cash and I'll Venmo you. And I'm like, dude. If you ever want to go to a casino, you need to go with Alex.
Starting point is 01:54:19 Actually, I just tell you this. Hang out with Alex Stein. Yeah, he is. That's so funny. All I got to say. Up or down, it's the best. Just hang out. Helex stein all i gotta say up or down it's the best just hang out if you're if you're if you're trying to laugh and get in trouble or learn and have a deep conversation he's all he's all that yeah he's a funny guy like when the first time he came here he ate the the one chip challenge and got really sick all right all right all right julia gr Griffin says, did you read Ragnarosis one by Eric Jens?
Starting point is 01:54:49 Definitely the most relevant new civil war book right now. The ending gave me chills. I've not even heard of it. Not even heard of it. So here's one from the sick. He says there's chatter of Tucker facing a travel ban sanction facing travel ban sanctions for interviewing Putin. If that's true, he could just walk through the southern border with fingers held high george alexopolis drew that up already and it's uh it's dan crenshaw and i think lindsey graham being like he got the
Starting point is 01:55:16 interview we have to stop him and then the next panel is them being is like biden being told tucker already managed to get back into the country then the next panel is like the border and then it shows tucker smiling and he's running through with a bunch of illegal immigrants this is very good george g prime was it g prime 85 85 g prime 85 on instagram very very good very funny very funny let's go ezekiel says what do you think about the story crowder released about the possible school shooting wisconsin that was covered up well uh interesting we need to go we'll go through it we'll talk about it on the members only show because there were documents released and it's pretty big it was like what was like it was like a leftist i guess like woke ideologies and uh
Starting point is 01:56:00 we will we will talk about that in the members only show in a couple minutes so head over to timcast.com. Click join us. This one is dark stuff, not for the kids. Okay, we're probably going to swear a lot. We're going to say naughty words.
Starting point is 01:56:11 Okay, if you want to hear Ian say naughty words, you become a member at timcast.com. All right, where are we at? Beep Beep says, curious what your thoughts are on the Channel 5 dude
Starting point is 01:56:23 being arrested for crossing the border. Oh, is that what actually happened? What was that? I was watching this today. I forget his actual name, but he had a lot of controversy earlier this year about his personal character traits. But yeah, he went across the border. He literally went with some coyotes and just videotaped the whole thing. Yeah, and they arrested him.
Starting point is 01:56:42 I didn't know that part. I only watched the first 10 minutes, but but yeah i guess you got arrested that's crazy wow mike gibson says rush limbaugh used to say that you can always tell what the left is planning based on the accusations they make of their opposition i mean he's not he was not wrong was not wrong on that one lurch says trump supporters take him seriously but not literally haters take him literally but not literally haters take him literally but not seriously that's what that was that's what happened in 2016 the trump supporters were like trump is gonna do these things he's a goofball though he says funny things he does
Starting point is 01:57:15 stand up basically and the left were like he literally wants to throw you know people and flip them over and body slam them and things like that. And it's like, oh, calm down. Calm down. Let's grab some more super chats. Jake Beardsley says, my son's kindergarten class is teaching about segregation and his best friend in school got very upset because he thought he couldn't be friends with my son because he's white. It's too young for this stuff.
Starting point is 01:57:37 The school is Wellington Elementary in Florida. Well, what's going on, Florida? Someone's got to tell Ron De desantis and have him get the job what's ron gonna do you know he's out he's not gonna be governor again he's term limited maybe he's just gonna retire go into acting sort of reverse zolinski his life i mean who's to say thomas sidebottom says pirates of the caribbean wow you made a good movie pirates of the caribbean too wait you don't know what made it good, do you? Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
Starting point is 01:58:07 Yeah, you had no idea. I think if Pirates of the Caribbean was made in the 70s, it would be a legendary classic with no sequels. And they'd be like, man, what a great movie. But it was made in a time when they were like, more money. And what I loved about it, when the commercials came out for Dead dead man's chest it was like the number one movie in the country and i was like no pirates of the caribbean one is the number one movie in the country and people are going to see your garbage movie because of how much they liked the first one and when i went and saw the second one i was like this is garbage this sucks i've still haven't seen any of them and it's because
Starting point is 01:58:44 there's a lot of pop trash getting created at that time and it just looked like another pop trash where everyone's like i love it it's so great like harry potter the movie not do fine whatever it wasn't horrible but i read the book it was okay i saw the movie it was decent the first pirates is is is utterly fantastic like jack sparrow wasn't supposed to be like that he was supposed to be like a normal pirate and then johnny depp was like let's make him a bit eccentric and kind of drunk all the time and they gave him an original character to work with and he made it better right the i mean the storyline is fantastic the the they they looted the treasure they found the gold but it was cursed and now they're all walking dead and they're trying to return the gold brilliant story and
Starting point is 01:59:22 then the next movie was like there's no ending it's like there's a chest with a heart in it and then the movie ends and nothing happens and then the third movie is like oh we resurrected the guy who died in the first one so that story made no sense and it's just you know i think um dead men tell no tales was decent nowhere near as good as the first one but better than the rest was that the fourth one i don't know maybe that was the fourth one? I don't know. Maybe that was the fifth one. See, I only remember the first maybe two, but I also remember them vividly because I saw them in theater. And I think now this like, oh, we're going to release a bunch of stuff
Starting point is 01:59:55 in the Netflix era is very different. The experience of watching, like seeing, if you haven't seen Pirates of Cabrera, I don't know what to tell you, but the scene when they're on the deck and the moonlight comes through and the pirate pirate crew is skeletons. Like I remember that so vividly in that experience in Surround Sound. I really think moving to streaming is one
Starting point is 02:00:13 of the things that's changing the way we make movies today. Yeah. And it's, it's, it's killing the movie star. You know, I like I'm on Netflix or Amazon and there's a movie and it's like, they make fun of Gina Carano because they said the movie she started with Daily Wire Domestic Gross is in the tens of thousands and it's like right it wasn't a movie in theaters it's a streaming platform film nobody talks about the you know what's the oh Netflix put out a new movie
Starting point is 02:00:36 how much did it make we don't know Netflix puts out like 50 movies every month it feels like alright last super chat here Ash says your next big song release needs to star Ian and be all about graphene.
