And on this day, Congress has formally certified Donald Trump as the victor of the 2024 election. It's the first time ever that a woman has certified her own presidential defeat.

And that's Kamala Harris. And we're all here for it. Interestingly, however, that Democrat liberal judge over in New York says either way, Trump is to be sentenced on the 10th. That's where things get interesting. Now they're saying he's not going to get any prison time or anything like that. But who knows? What if Trump shows up for sentencing and the judge just says, change my mind. 34 felonies. You're going to jail. Sends Trump to prison. Now what happens? I really doubt it. But who knows? Trump filed to have this stayed or quashed effectively. And the judge said, no, we're going to sentence you. So I guess we're in for a very interesting week. And then Justin Trudeau resigned. And here's what people are picking up from this story.

I mean, he's still he's still prime minister. He announced his resignation pending the liberal party's election of a new leader. But he did it because of Trump. Trump threatening these tariffs through the whole liberal government of Canada to chaos. And now Trudeau is out. So Trump is winning and he's not even president yet. We'll talk about that. Plus, we got a bunch of weird stories about we got to talk about the drone thing and Las Vegas. You know, it's our first day back after vacation. And we had this crazy thing in Vegas. This guy sent an email to Sean Ryan about gravitic propulsion drones. It's all just very weird. So we'll talk about that. And then, um, yeah, we're going to go for it. There's this

story from the New York post that the vaccine caused this woman's boobs to grow massively. And I think we'll need some levity for this one, but we'll talk about that. I mean, it's probably, it's probably horrifying for the woman, but we'll talk about all that before we get started. My friends head over to cast brew. com. Pick up cast brew coffee. We have delicious coffee. We have two weeks till Christmas. Phil Labonte's gingerbread coffee. It's delicious.

But it's now two weeks from Christmas. And then, of course, we've got Appalachian nights. Rise with Roberto Jr. Stand your grounds. And also, don't forget to head over to boonies HQ dot com.

This is our second most popular skateboard. It's a blue-footed boobie bird, and everyone finds it to be very funny for some reason. I love it. And then we got the right to arm bears. The oft-forgotten attempted amendment to the Bill of Rights

that didn't make it was the right to give bears guns. So if you think bears should wear straw hats, flannel shirts, and carry shotguns, this is the skateboard for you.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we have two veterans on two different sides of January 6th. First, it is the man himself.

It is Lectern Guy. Hey, Tim. Good to be back. Happy January 6th to all who celebrate. It's Patriots Day. I am here to establish an alibi. I've been here all day. I've moved nothing, touched nothing.

So leave me alone, bro. You have a real name, though. I do. My real name is Adam Johnson, my Christian name. Ah, yes, yes, yes. Now dubbed the lectern guy. At first, they were calling you the podium guy. They were.

This and Via Getty, but we corrected the record. Via Getty is my favorite. Yes. I mean, oh, God, Twitter 1.0. Those are the days, huh? Well, we also have a man who was there on the ground in a different capacity. Yes, I was on the ground as a credential journalist, so I didn't have the same legal troubles. I did hear we have an insurrectionist in our midst today, so I decided to deck myself out in some protective gear.

Just in case. Just in case. Richie McGinnis, author of Riot Diet, One Man's Radical Ride Through America in Chaos, and got some wild stories in there. January 6th um maybe is the craziest i don't know i'm not sure and i we thought it was uh it was appropriate to have you both on on this day it's an honor six honor and uh can i be your lectern i i will carry you like one of my french girls yes make it work well okay uh we got some news on january 6th of course merrick garland issued a statement where he said five cops died in the line of duty, which is just an egregious lie.

These people are out of their minds. We'll talk about that. We also got Phil hanging out. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Let's go.

Let's jump into the big news. Ladies and gentlemen, history was made. Donald Trump becoming, I think it's only the second president to have two non-consecutive terms now. He hasn't been in, he's not been inaugurated or sworn in, but he has been officially certified as president.

Kamala Harris oversaw the certification, making her the first woman to certify her own loss in a presidential race. And there are very few people who have done that. I think Nixon. Glass ceiling broken. Absolutely.

So Al Gore did. Nixon did. I'm not sure how many others. But the first woman. First black woman. That's right. Or Asian, depending on how you want to phrase it. Depending if you're in the UK or the US talking about it, right?

Depending if you want a visa or not. Or you can call her Jamaican. She checked a lot of boxes. She's the first of a lot of things to fail. So congratulations, Kamala Harris. But we don't need to dunk on her. Let's get to the meat and potatoes of this story. Judge Mershon denies Trump's request

to delay sentencing. This is where things get weird. I'd love to sit here and we'd crack open champagne and be like, ha ha, look, hey, January 6th came and went and Trump has been certified. But Trump is to be sentenced. I'm assuming he's got a report to New York City as president-elect certified in a joint session of Congress. He's going to go before this judge who says, you know, he's not going to give him prison time, but could very well give him prison time. I'll just say this. So Trump files saying we should quash this. Defendants motion for a

stay of these proceedings, including the sentencing hearing scheduled for January 10th, is hereby denied. This is interesting. Trump is trying to prepare to be president right now. He's got a transition going on. They're trying to whip the votes to get his nominees confirmed. And now they're still trying to obstruct him. I got to say, guys, I don't think they're just going to roll over and give up. The certification process went without a hitch. No Jamie Raskin trying to insurrection or anything like that. There were protests.

And then all of these liberal opponents come out and they say, see, we are honorable. But then they do things like this. Don't tell me. You're not going to convince anybody that this Judge Merchant is not a Democrat operative. You know, I don't mean that literally working for Democrats. I'm saying he is of the political persuasion that is aligned with Democrats to help them out. They're not going to stop here. But what do you think happens?

Trump goes to prison on Friday? It's a Friday. It's where they go to kill news. Bold move, Cotton. I mean, this is the elected president. We came in. We said, well, this guy. For them to put him into prison at this point after all of this, it wouldn't shock me if that was the move.

We saw the first four years of his presidency, and they threw the book at him. We went through COVID. We went through lies, Russiagate. It would not shock me to see them put him in prison for 12 days. What if he did the oath from prison and then he pardoned himself from prison? He can't pardon a state-level charge. He can't? Nope.

Nope. Wow. Raining on your parade over here. I thought he was God Emperor. Only federal charges. Only federal. But a lot of people are pointing out that you can be sworn in from anywhere. And like, was it Reagan?

He was sworn in on a plane or something like that uh that i think that'd be based yeah you you can be you don't have to be sworn in at a specific location it just has to be uh i i'm not sure who the actual person doing the swearing and i'm not sure if it's a the if it has to be by an official uh by a specific person person uh that's that's in the federal government or if it's just someone that represents the government. Wouldn't it be crazy if Trump is sentenced to prison and then he's in prison and they swear him in as president, but he's still in prison?

Yeah, he can't go to the Capitol, so how does that work? Apparently he can be sworn in from anywhere. You could email in prison. You could still get some things done behind bars. And I will tell you the clout he will have going into prison, they're not going to mess with him. It's going to be very hard to get with him. He will have a lot of power there.

We can pardon anyone, apparently, at this point. Oh, right. They're going to be like, hey, I got a homie on federal charges. Yo, pardon him. They're going to leave him alone. There's no one that has to do the swearing in. The Constitution doesn't specify anyone. Usually, it's Chief Justice of the U do the swearing in. The Constitution doesn't specify anyone. Usually it's Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, but it doesn't

have to be anyone in particular. So it could be just I suppose anyone could say, okay, take care of it. The warden gives them the... Oh, people are saying it was Lyndon Johnson when Kennedy was shot. Yeah, there you go. That makes sense. Sworn out on a plane. Yeah, I

get that. Extenuating circumstances. Kennedy was shot. Why'd you use the passive voice there? Who shot him? Because it's in the past. Passive voice. For some of us. He was shot.

He was. By a gun. Who shot him? He was shot. Was it Lee Harvey? I'm asking. I'm seriously asking think who do you think shot kennedy who do i think yeah uh i do think that it was lee harvey oswald among the people shooting him i don't know ron paul we did we did a culture i don't even think he was in the book deposit ron paul said uh cia did it that's correct. That's 648. That's what I understand.

Didn't Rand say that too? Mm-hmm. Yeah. And then RFK Jr. said it? But there's... And that one's the real weight when like RFK Jr. is like... Actually, I don't know if Rand said it. Wasn't there paperwork or something like that released recently that implicated that the CIA was involved at least?

I don't... me i'll google that to see they came we got a super chat daisies joe is saying the swearing it has to be done by a judge by a judge so here we go we got this uh we'll read a little bit more from the story they say today president trump's legal team moved to stop the unlawful sentencing in the manhattan d.a's witch hunt supreme court's historic decision on immunity the state constitution of new york and other established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed. Trump spokesperson Steve Chung told Fox, the American people elected Trump with an overwhelming mandate that demands an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system

and all of the remaining witch hunts. We look forward to uniting our country in the new administration. You know, look, there's this clip on CNN where Scott Jennings gets told to zip it by that Bolden, whatever her name is. I don't know her name. And I'm just thinking like, for one, like who cares? Cause nobody watches CNN. But, uh, but on this show, she asks Scott specifically, like how come so many people won't acknowledge how bad January 6th was. And then Scott plays this, like, I'm going to be nice to CNN and goes, well, you know, some people have acknowledged it. And I'm sitting here being like,

yeah, the voters did when they voted for Trump. They acknowledged that they didn't care. Yep. So here's my advice to all of you. When anyone at any point, your cousin, your aunt, whatever, your friend says, how come Republicans don't denounce January 6th when the Krasensteins tweeted you say, we all acknowledge January 6th by electing Donald Trump.

That's how little we care about this nonsense you're screaming about. Yeah, when I was shopping around my book originally with publishers and agents, they're telling me trump was old news and that he wow this was two years ago i told you he was old news and he was old news and it was it's over he's not gonna make it through the primary yeah i said all right i'll start my own publishing company thank you very much wow boy that was dumb yes that's the publishing is even dumber than news as i've learned oh yeah yeah yeah i mean they're they're look, when it comes to books, it could be a book with just every page says book, book, book, book, book, so long as the cover sells. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yep. Well, Michael Knowles had the book, right? It was Reasons to Vote Democrat. It was blank inside. Yeah. Yeah. There are no reasons. I should have come up with that.

Yeah, I think we got a mandate on Election Day on November 3rd. That's it. Nobody cares about January 6th. Here we are, and we're pretty much over it. But I'm curious if you guys think that there's going to be any other plays outside of this. There are fears about assassination attempts, things like that. Are they going to let Trump just become president and get his agenda through? So I've been here a couple of times in the interim between January 6th and today,

and I have said, I don't think they're gonna let him run. And then he won the election, but they shot him in between that. That thing did happen. That thing did happen. And I'm looking at this and this, this is kind of the death throes we're seeing from the media. They're not done. And I think that even if he's sworn in, they they're not going to stop we're going to see four more years of this and i wonder we saw the playbook last time i am genuinely worried about what comes next so i i honestly think that they're they're limited in what they can what they will be able to get away with because of the fact that it was such a resounding victory for the right generally, right? You've got and it's not just here in the U.S.

Like the writings on the wall for Trudeau. You've got right wing parties all over Europe are gaining favor with their with their respective countries. think that people are tired of the left's narrative which is our democracy or our way of life is threatened by these people that have a different perspective on politics and i think that the reason why i think that's the reason why you see all the the these right-leaning parties gaining um gaining favor is because people are tired of it. So I don't think that there's, I think you're right in that people on the left still would love to be able to do something, but I think that they don't have as much ability because people are tired and

they're not listening to the left as much anymore. Right. I don't know. The CNN thing was funny to me because they're still trying to play this game of both sides. And they had on Bakari sellers who just who just lied and said there's no U.S. troops. Trump's inheriting a government with no U.S. troops overseas in a combat zone. And then Scott Jennings mentions like there are.

And then she stops him from getting into the details. We have 2,000 troops in Syria. How could you have a dude go on TV and just lie like that? I've got to tell you know we had that dude luke on a couple weeks ago beasley and everybody that was fireworks everybody loved that clip and i'm like look we debated about like left wing and right wing violence and i'll and i'll tag this one on he's coming back because he's he's a good dude let me props to him for coming you know he's coming back on yeah he's coming back uh he's be in town. He said he'd love to come back and do more.

We have another show planned in like a week or two. So it'll be fun. But the problem with the left right wing violence thing is that the left is a cult where as long as you adhere to their social order, you are leftist and everyone else the right wing is more violent it's like dude you're comparing like some bitcoin libertarian tech guy in san francisco to a and claiming he is part of the same ideological faction as a shaved head tattooed neo-nazi who lives in the wilderness of appalachia like two completely different world views with no relation whatsoever and you're like right wing violence i'm like yeah you can't compare these two people uh a middle aged, overweight, day laboring Trump supporter who wants to watch a game of football and order a slice of pizza, votes for Trump and is called

right wing. And then they say you're violent because some unhinged racist guy killed someone in a church. And it's like, but this guy doesn't share any values that other guy, the guy the left specifically these people all have an overlapping adherence to their social orthodoxy that's what we'll criticize that that's a good point the the fact that the left is defined as narrowly as possible when the left is talking about left-wing violence and the right is defined as broadly as well antifa is by design know, if you walk up to somebody at a protest and you're like, yo, are you Antifa? They're not going to say yes. So it's by design, you know, a flat hierarchy similar to like the terrorist cells that operate around the world. And, you know, it's easy to, you know, like spot a proud boy because they're proud of themselves.

And Democrats, I've been on the ground and I've seen these black bloc types. We call them Antifa. They have different views. They Democrat. I've been on the ground, and I've seen these black bloc types. We call them Antifa. They have different views. They do. But they fight together. So it's like when you see a tankie, you know, like a communist, Soviet style, like we should control everything. And then you see a radical, you know, they call themselves anarchists, but they're not. They're extremely violent.

But they don't. They'll tell you, oh, we don't like the tankies. We don't like the communists. And I'm like, you are wearing the same clothes as them, standing next to them and fighting together. Bro, you're not going to pull a fast one on me. I'm sorry, dude. You guys fight together. You can argue all day and night. But once again, they try to make that claim that some anarcho-capitalist tech guy who buys a bunch of Bitcoin is comparable to a neo-Nazi. They're two completely distinct things.

My complaint is that they call me a cult. I'm in a cult, right? But no one eats the right more than the right. We bury each other on a daily basis. We call each other out. We're honest. We actually have our convictions, and we speak about them. Yeah, the whole visa thing.

Yeah, the H-1 visa thing. Yeah, I mean, that was – everybody was, you know, decrying like, oh, like, you know, this is, the right is eating itself, like you said. But I view that as actually having a conversation about immigration that has been, you know, tabled for 30 years. But it wasn't even the right, really. It was the disaffected liberals who joined MAGA, many of them arguing with MAGA. MAGA has always been immigration critical to a great degree. Like Milo tweeted out 20 year moratorium on immigration. And I'm like, yeah, I've heard that from a lot of Trump supporters. That's not surprising. And then it's the Elon types who were

former liberals who voted for Trump because of wokeness who are saying, no, we're for H-1B. And it's like, right, this is now the reckoning between the disaffected liberal types and the conservatives. I don't want to play world police. I don't want to play world bank. And I definitely don't want to play world refugee camp. And my thought has always been, get your house in order. And until our house is in order, maybe we stop playing world refugee camp. Yeah, my view, it's really funny because there's like this meme going around that said, I'd like to find a team Elon and team USA. And they put me in Team Elon. And I'm like, I'm telling you guys, a lot of it was bot farming, was a bot attack. And people got mad at me for saying that the censorship attacks against Elon appeared to be an op. And I'm not

wrong. I'm not saying there's no real sentiment against him, but people who are really stupid can't understand this. So like all these like people on X start tweeting at me being like, no, you're wrong. It's not an op. I actually believe this. And I'm like, dude, when there's an opinion that exists, of course, there are people who actually believe it. When bot accounts start tweeting generic racist things that kill the argument against H1B, it looks like an op. And so me coming out and saying it looks like an op, the bot farms instantly put me in the Elon camp, despite my opinion on H1B being, yeah, we should suspend it and reform it because

it's broken. But they don't know how to address that because they're not real people. Well, it's nuance. That's a tough thing. AI can't handle it. Well, plus, nowadays, what even is, because I'm pro-free speech and anti-war, that would have

made me a left-winger 15 years ago. But now, as the sands are shifting, as the paradigm is shifting, the definition of what these boxes are is completely changing. I ain't no neocon, I'll tell you that. Left and right are easily defined. The right is anybody who watches the news and has a general understanding of what's happening, and the left is people who either know or don't, but either way just adhere

to their social orthodoxy. See, that's the interesting thing, though, is that the left is supposed to be the opposite of an orthodoxy. The parties have flipped historically. Liberal and progressive are two different things. Yeah, well, that's one of the things that I that I try to articulate frequently here. The idea of a progressive is different than a liberal. Now, I don't feel like I get a whole lot of traction because people on the right and conservatives have gotten so accustomed to calling Democrats liberals. Yeah, exactly. That that the the argument that, hey, Democrats and progressives are not the same thing as a liberal. A liberal looks at liberty first, blah, blah, blah.

You can make that argument until you're blue in the face. But if people aren't listening, people aren't listening. And that's one of the things that I feel like people just they're so used to calling Democrats liberals. Thank you, Rush Limbaugh in the 90s, because he's the one that did it. But that word has become so radioactive with the conservatives that you can't really... Here's the meme. This was the H1B debate. Team USA versus Team Elon.

And they put me in Team Elon. And this is really funny, because I say, like, when I say it's bot accounts, here's what it means. Okay? When I come out and say, hey, it looks like there's an op happening against Elon to try and make Elon and MAGA fight. Because that's been a narrative for months now. And what did we get? People were tweeting like Elon and Trump know there's a campaign against them.

They're not going to fall for it. But then as soon as the H1B thing happens, all of a sudden everybody's falling for it. But my point was specifically that there were brand new X accounts, accounts that had opened up only in the past month. People had started screenshotting, pointing it out. They were posting insanely racist things. I think Elon took the bait. He said, oh, these racists are going to be bad for the Republican Party. And I said, yeah, we can't.

I tweeted, we can't allow fringe identitarianism basically destroy the Trump movement or MAGA or whatever. And then I went on this tirade about actually going into H-1B. I'll put it this way. H-1B, for those that don't know, it's supposed to be, hey, my company can't find the skilled enough worker for my company. I have no choice but to hire from, insert other country, $85,000 per year. But that's not what it is. Patrick Bet-David got called out because apparently he had an application

for I think it was a graphic designer for $41,000 a year or something like that. Was that what it was? Was it a graphic designer? I don't know. I'm not in the weeds that deep. But he got called out for it. I don't think he really addressed it. He just said, hey, look, we hire a lot of people and stuff like that.

And that's not what H-1B is supposed to be for. And it's a lottery, too. So the argument that, oh, we're getting the top 0.01%, it's like, how do you get that through a lottery? And I went through that with an employee when I was working at The Daily Caller. And we went for the H-1B, didn't get the lottery, and then we got the O-1 Extraordinary Persons Visa, which is a way higher bar. And the lawyers were like, this probably isn't going to work. But if you're really that talented, then you can make your case.

But the H-1B is literally, hey, throw my ball into there and see if it comes out in the lottery. So how do you get in the top 0.01% from that? Yeah, I think H-1B is total BS. It's been abused by big tech. They blast the H-1B lottery with as many applications as possible, so they end up getting almost all of them. And then what ends up happening is the reason why I'm – I think H-1B is fine in concept, but it's not how it's actually brought about. The problem is, if we as a nation and all of our companies keep saying we don't think the American people are driven enough and have the work ethic to do the job, so we have no choice but to hire someone else. You're going to bring some dude from India, from China, from wherever.

They're going to come take the job. They're going to have kids. Those kids are going to grow up in a diseased culture where they develop the same as every other American, lazy and incompetent, as these people argue. I'm not saying they are. And then what's going to happen in 20 years? They're going to go, oh, once again, all these Americans are too lazy. We have to hire from China or India. And then the children of H-1B recipients are being raised in a culture where they don't learn work ethic and they don't succeed. There's only one solution. Shut down H-1B and require American companies to invest in Americans. And if you're upset because you're like, yeah, but American workers are lazy, then you got to find the best of the best, the cream of the crop,

and you have to work with them and train them and develop this. We have to reform this culture. We're not going to import our way out of cultural decline. I look at it from an altruistic standpoint, right? The idea that these countries are, the people are fleeing them coming here because there's opportunity, right? They're brought over with opportunity. These countries not emerged and they're coming here because their countries have not. The ultra side of me says, if we're scalping the best and the brightest, they will never have their moments, right? These people have to take their way out of a hole and we're taking their best shovelers. Me, what I think is let them stay there, let them develop their own countries, let them

have their revolutions, build your own thing. And in the meantime, we can build our own thing. It would not be the best thing for everyone to be self-sufficient, not rely on foreign aid. A disaster happens. Sure, we can come together. We can help some country that was riddled with an earthquake or tsunami or whatever. But in the meantime, fix your own homes.

Well, I mean, there's got to be, first first of all there has to be a motivation to do that by the the countries you're referring to i think that like if we're actually talking about people that are high skilled that are like the cream of the crop if we if they want to come to the united states i don't think there's a problem with it but at the same time they shouldn't take. It shouldn't be at the expense of Americans looking for work. So if there are Americans that can fill these jobs, the Americans should get the opportunity first. The idea of a lottery system, that's a terrible idea. The people that come to the U.S., there shouldn't be like a lottery, like, hey, you're the lucky guy that gets to come. It should be we identify someone that has a particular skill that pardon me.

That's what the O1 extraordinary person's visa is. Yeah. Well, that's what it, that's what it should be. We submitted 150 page legal brief to, and like I needed 10 recommendations from different people in the media, submitted work samples and yeah, you have to prove the case that, okay, this person's actually extraordinary. And actually my letter to immigration services services was like the h1b gets exploited by massive companies and we're a small media company and he will have an outsized impact on our output the quality of

our output and that's you know um we there's also a minimum um so each, you know, the the bar for what the starting wage is for that industry is higher. So, you know, it's not also like you're just able to like get cheap labor. Yeah, I don't have a problem. And the people that are like, oh, let's shut down immigration. I honestly don't have any kind of like moral problem with shutting down immigration to the U.S. except for, you know, like the what was the program you're talking about? Oh, one of the oh one. Yeah. Except for oh one visas. That's fine with me. It's not like I'm like, oh, we need to have these people come in. We need to be we need to go ahead and make sure that there are people that can get us on. You could shut down all immigration and I wouldn't lose a bit of sleep. Right. Like it matters. There is there is an

argument to be made that like the shutting down of all legal and illegal immigration to the United States would bring the economy to a halt. And I mean, obviously, like, it's hard to. OK, so. So my point being, there are people that make a moral argument about it, because most of the people on the left, they're making a moral argument. They're like, it's wrong.'s racist it's bad blah blah blah so and and so i'm not making an economic argument i'm not talking about the economics of it i'm talking about the moral side of it there's there's nothing immoral about the united states saying we we're not taking any more people until the people that are here assimilate now if there's an economic need for them then that's an argument you can make that says oh these people are going to

be a benefit to the economy. Fine. I have no problem with that kind of immigration. I don't care about, I hate that argument. I absolutely despise that argument. Sam Hyde had an amazing video. Did you guys see Sam Hyde's video on this one? Dude, what really bothers me about these libertarians, we're also having some libertarian who's going to come on and debate H-1B and other issues in a couple of weeks. My friends, everybody out there listening, I do not care about your economy. That's it. You want to come to me and say, hey, Tim, if we do this policy, we're going to see numbers go up by this much. I'm going to be like, don't know, don't care, because I'm a guy who's happy living in a van down by the river so long as I have a couple of chickens outside.

You know what I care about? Easiest example, waking up on Christmas morning, running down the stairs, snow is falling. I know not everybody lives in an area with snow, but this is my childhood. You look out the window, it's dimly lit, it's dawn, the snow is falling, the presents are under the tree. That is unquantifiable. That's what Sam Howe was saying. Some things are unquantifiable. I care about the traditions of this country. I care about the things that I experienced as a child that I love and enjoy, that Iwar stuff. But in this regard, y'all are crazy. And so this is what ends up happening. I said, I despise free trade. And then this one dude's like, tell me you don't understand economics without telling me you don't understand economics or whatever.

And I'm like, this is the libertarian argument. Free trade, but we make money doing it. And I'm like, yeah. And then we outsource industry and kill culture. And that's what happened with Bush initiated NAFTA, and then Bill Clinton perpetuated those free trade policies and signed with the WTO, basically opening up trade with Asia, doing the same thing that we did with NAFTA globally. And so the Democrats, yeah, you sell a bunch of jobs overseas over the course of 20, 30 years as a uniparty, then you're going to have consequences. Let me tell you guys something. Right now, I skateboard, right?

Right now, what region of the planet do you think is biggest for skateboarding? Brazil. Brazil. I was going to actually say Brazil. Brazil's good, but no. But it is funny that you didn't say, I don't know, the United States, considering that's where it's from, and Southern California's supposed to be the skateboarding. Don't say China. It's southeast asia really yeah it's it's largely japan

they've got reality tv shows they've got they've got sporting game shows called kaso they're launching uh content hubs the best athletes in the world one of my buddies is a pro and he was saying that it's like when you watch the latest competitions it's all just like what 15 year old Japanese kid is going to be which 15 year old Chinese kid. And I'll tell you exactly why this is. It's because we outsourced all the manufacturing of our skateboards and our products to China. China built an industry around making skateboards. It became prominent in Southeast Asia and the United States. It's completely dead to where the biggest manufacturers have fled the country and aren't producing content anymore. And so not to get in a whole

tirade about skateboarding. It's one example. And these libertarians are like, but we all make money. And I'm like, yeah, you make money for six years until you've completely extracted every job and every expert. And they're no longer teaching kids and kids are no longer getting involved. And then when they grew up, what do they do? So I'm talking to my buddies and I went, I went to Chicago over the holidays and a couple of my buddies from back in the day, we were hanging out. And I said, as we were walking downtown new construction, I said, wow, look at that stair set. That's what skateboarders do. And I'm like, where are all the kids at? And they're like, bro, kids don't go outside anymore. Yeah. They sit in their room, depressed on the internet all day on social media,

scrolling Tik TOK. And I'm like, this is a component of what happens when you open things up, sell off all your jobs. People don't realize. They think that, you know, especially these leftists, liberals, they think that money is food. They think that money is energy. They don't realize it's just a representation of your labor. And these libertarians, too, they don't realize that when you outsource your jobs, when you import

laborers, and you leave American workers behind, you're giving yourself a good 10 years before your entire system completely collapses due to people who have no culture, who are bored, depressed, and nobody can do the jobs anymore. So I'm sick of this. I'm sick of that libertarian... Riot Diet is printed in the United States.

Good. All of our Booneys HQ boards are made in the United States. There we go. It's more expensive to do. And so somebody tweeted at me when I tweeted this, and they said surfboards used to be made in the United States. Yeah. And local woodshops that would make surfboards would hold events in the park,

at the beach or whatever, and they'd tell everybody, come down, check out our new surfboards and then families would be like oh let's go look at the surfboard thing that the people who make the skateboards their kids the surfboards their kids would come learn from their data to make a surfboard and you had generational surfboards yeah hand-shaped now it's all machine you had you had a dad with three sons and each of those sons knew how to surf the takiyamas i have a takiyama and then what happened this this is what someone tweeted because i don't know surfing he said now it's all being made in china it is yeah all these companies are gone you said the exact thing i was going to come up with it's we don't have a generational mindset yeah we have lost the ability

to see past ourselves to see our grandkids i like building i like planting trees the things that i do the things i'm setting up for grandkids great grandkids i'll never meet because it's important to me that when they grow up they have the idea idea of what I thought America should be left for them. I think we should be the first generation that leaves it a better place than how we found it. But let's talk about what it means to be a better place. And that's the crux of the argument is these individuals who are arguing that so long as we're at 3 percent growth, it's a better place. I say B. BS. When we have kids who can experience a Christmas morning,

and not everybody has to have Christmas. You can have Hanukkah. You can have Kwanzaa. I don't really care. Why Hanukkah though, Tim? Because it's another holiday event. Sorry. Those are the ones we have.

I don't care what you celebrate is that is that for me just tell us that you're selling out to the daily i have matzos in the other room but you know what as a as this nation had been dominant uh had been predominantly christian we have a tradition of christmas and i don't care if someone celebrates something else but the idea that you can import an entirely different culture that doesn't celebrate these same things, that doesn't have a same reverence for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly. Commercialized holidays. I don't care. Absolutely.

I like, you know, you go to the mall and there's a Santa Claus and you tell him what you want and it's fun traditions. There's no number here. So how do you leave this country a better place? In my opinion, it's more Christmas. And I'm only using Christmas as one example. It's baseball. It's apple pie. Yes.

Whatever you think. I like when people watch the Super Bowl. I think it's fun. I think the ridiculous Super Bowl commercial nonsense, I think it's fun. These are things that are inherently American. What about like the satanic halftime shows? What about those? Yeah, see, that's where things are falling apart. And this

is their weird attempt at trying to make some mixed bag culture. Janet Jackson. Ruined America. That is when it started, right there. I'll tell you this. I'll say this. Boom. Then you have an insurrection. That's what happens. You guys know about the grooming gang story blowing up in the UK? Yeah. We're going to save this one for the members only because it's so horrifically graphic

i don't want any kids out there who may be listening to stumble upon this and i want to stress this everybody says oh you know tim doesn't want to swear because of demonization no no no in the early days of the show we swore people emailed us saying hey i put the show on my tv and my kids are in the room yeah please don't swear i said okay we'll try to make it top level news and we'll keep the crazy stuff but this this, the story out of the UK with the grooming gangs, um, my understanding is that somebody took a transcript from the trials. Michael Malice tweets it out saying he didn't understand the depravity. People don't understand. This story is so absolutely horrifying what these gangs were doing to 13 and 12 year old girls.

We're not talking about grooming. We're talking about torture, like hardcore torture. Now, I'm not going to get into full details. I'll say for the members only where it's not so family friendly. The point is the story now being reported is that politicians and police intentionally covered up the mass gang abuse of children because they wanted to persist a narrative that multiculturalism worked. That is absolutely insanity. Yes, they'd rather keep their jobs than stop this atrocity. They'd rather keep their ideology. They're terrified of being called racist.

Well, the FBI kept the books too, right? It wasn't like, I mean, you can say what you want about like ethnic classifications, but they certainly, they lumped in Latinos as white, right? Oh, of course. Yeah, they've always done that. All right, let's move on. Let's talk about some, let's get back to the news here because we do have some big news. I'm Italian, so, you know, I'm basically Latino.

Guys, UFC, Dana White is on the board of Facebook. It's big news. Okay, but first, from ABC News, Justin Trudeau says he'll resign as prime minister. No. It's the end of the Castro legacy. Oh, no. This goes to, like, this is, like, you know, I made this point earlier. Like, overall, the behavior of governments in the West during covid is largely frowned upon by the populations

how they acted like you know they're sick it's almost like a lot of people in their houses for no reason uh you guys know why justin trudeau's resigning uh because even canada's like indians because because donald trump was it the blackface scandal it it wasn't he was also a chic wait let's let's let's keep listing all of the scandals Trudeau's been involved in because the answer is no to all of them, which is insane. Donald Trump nuked Justin Trudeau. This all started with the Trump threat of tariffs. And then it was Chrystia Freeland, I think her name is. I'm not a big, I don't know much about Canada.

Got into a fight with Trudeau over it, then resigned. He wanted to move her out saying, no, no, fight with Trudeau over it, then resigned. He wanted to move her out, saying, no, no, no. Trudeau, cowardly, against Donald Trump. Trump, did you guys hear the story? He went to Mar-a-Lago, right? Yeah, did you hear the story that Ben Shapiro told? Kissed the ring. Ben said, it was something like, Trump goes to Trudeau and says,

what's the one thing that I could do that would destroy your economy? And Trudeau said something like oh i guess if you put a tariff on our on our goods oh no that would oh you wouldn't want to do that hey oh you don't want to do that trump said trump said there's the the number one rule in negotiations is never answer the question what is the one thing i could do to destroy you second thing is i'm going to put a tariff on your cars and destroy your economy don't put the tariffs on the hockey sticks just don't put the tariffs on the hockey sticks. Just don't put the tariffs on the hockey sticks.

Not the maple syrup. We want the north side of Niagara Falls. That just goes to show how terrible of a leader Justin Trudeau is. Like how bad, like literally walked into the trap that Donald Trump set. It's not just that.

Correct. And his uncle. Also that. It's not great either. Correct. And his uncle. Yeah. Also bad. The art of the deal. Well, you know, and both figuratively and literally, to be honest. That being said, Donald Trump's threat of tariffs prove a few things. One, like you mentioned, Trudeau is a terrible leader,

and I don't even know how he made it as long as he did. It's been since 2015. It's almost 10 years. But the other thing is it shows that U.S. presidents have been propping Canada up to the detriment of the American people. Yeah, the United States. If the Canadian government cannot stand without us giving them freebies. Invade. No, I think we don't want Canada.

They got some oil up there. North Puerto Rico. I want America's hockey team to be as good as possible. So long as it's a non-voting territory. North Puerto Rico. You don't give them the right. We need to annex Canada

before a Canadian team wins the Stanley Cup. How about this? If we do invade Canada, we'll surround its government and isolate it and then not let it be part of the rest of the United States. So we'll just control the territories isolate it and then not let it be part of the rest of the of the united states so we'll just control the territories by conquest we'll bring it bring it full circle back to the old insurrection when in war of 1812 that's why washington burned because we were off trying to look we almost took montreal bro look we we already control canada clearly

because donald trump just made their prime minister resign. If he can, if tariffs are going to destroy their economy, we already control them. So we don't need to do anything other than use soft power and threats of tariffs or threats of economic pressure to make them comply. There's not enough of them to actually be able to produce enough goods and services to put them in a position where they don't need the United States. They have they've forever relied on the United States for their defense. The United States is 100 percent is what protects Canada. We even though they're like their own country, they are absolutely at the total, you know they they will bend to the united states will every single time like justin trudeau tried to go ahead and stand up to donald trump a couple

times and make it seem like you know he was in charge he wasn't he never was canada doesn't have the ability to stand up to the united states if the united states really wants something they will comply. They're already a vassal state, period. They must also know that a lot of their citizens are probably looking at like, you mean I could be an American? These people have had their guns taken,

their freedoms taken. And I think a lot of people, that sounds actually great. You know, I'll tell you a funny story. Just make it North Dakota. Just extend North Dakota. I was in, I think I was in Toronto and a friend of mine who's Canadian was in, I think I was in Toronto,

and a friend of mine who's Canadian was like, did you know that Toronto is the most diverse city in the world? More diverse than New York? I was like, really? Is that true? And I looked it up. It's not. And I was like, it's actually majority,

but they like to say this. It's like Portland. Because it has more immigrants than any other city or something like that. They're using some twist of reasoning to justify how they're claiming this. And I'm like, actually, it's majority white. And they got really mad at me for saying that. No, it's Quebecois. There's Quebecois there.

Very, very white. It's their Martha's Vineyard. But this is the thing about Canada. We can make the argument that Canadians want their guns and their speech and all these things. Look at the trucker protest. But Canada has imported a ton of migrants from all over the world into their cities to create this multicultural place. And now it's dominated by a liberal government that falls the moment Trump says, I'm going to tax you.

They live completely and totally at the pleasure of the United States. This is where we're going to. We will be much like the UK and Canada unless things turn around. It's looking like with Donald Trump coming to office, things are going to turn around. But understand, man, it's real simple. I have heard this. I haven't fact-checked it, so correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know if people who are listening want to fact-check this.

That during the Biden administration, 15 million people came into the United States, which is the largest migration of humans in the history of humanity. Now, you can make the argument it's like only because of population growth that could happen, because when there was only 50 million people, there's no way for a migration that big to happen. But either way, that's crazy if true. I don't know if it's true or not. The point is, you bring people in and promise them free stuff. Your government can only be sustained by continually bringing people in and promise them free stuff, your government can only be sustained by continually bringing people in

and offering them free stuff, which means two generations, your entire country will collapse. Yeah, we went to McAllen, Texas, and Jorge Ventura and I, in March of 2021, right after Biden took over, and literally took the drone up,

saw everybody coming in through the gaps in the wall, and then you see them on the ground, and you say, Hey, you know, why did you come here? And they all said, well, Joe Biden is president. Literally every single one that we talked to said, yes, we knew that now that Trump is out, we can come. And so, you know, I think a lot of the like blame gets placed on the people who make that trip, but it's like when you give them an open invitation, then what do you expect?

So it's like, it's the policies that are creating the problem. Not to mention the amount of human suffering and sexual assaults that take place over the course of that journey from South America. But we met like not only over the course of those four years going to the border, you saw the diversity of the, uh, migrants change

from mostly central Americans, Hondurans to then Venezuelans, Colombians. And then the last time I went in, um, October of 23, it was like Afghanis, uh, Ghanaians, they all come over in container ships, uh, into Brazil. And then I come up through the Darren gap. And I mean, it was just like it, everybody from all over the world. And you have no clue. These people dropped their IDs at the border. So you have no way of vetting who's- So I did a quick fact check, and the partition of India was 15 million people migrated between India and Pakistan. So if the number is truly above 15 million, you could argue that it was the largest. There was tens of millions between the 1800s and 1900s, the European migration to the Americas. Yeah, but that was over a long period of time. 13 million Syrians were displaced, but did not migrate to any specific one location. And in World War II, there were massive refugees, but once

again, not any one group moving to any one location or entering one location. And so I suppose the argument is better that the large migration would be the partition of India because it was specifically Indian people moving to Pakistan. And then as for the U.S. mass migration, it's central, largely Central Americans, which is from different areas coming into one place. So if that's the case, 15 million, if that's the, so the estimates range from 10 to 15 million, it would be one of the largest mass migrations in history. It's possibly one of the largest, but we don't have the exact numbers. Yeah, potentially within the top five is fair to say, but top three, perhaps. Yeah.

Which is still absolutely insane. And it's all it was all an intentional policy by the left. Yes. Democrat. Well, and we saw the border wall. Which is still absolutely insane. And it was all an intentional policy by the left, the Democrats. And we saw the border wall. So when we first went down there in March of 2021, we talked to the Border Patrol and we're like, what's up with the wall? And it's just sitting in a parking lot, all these unbuilt portions of the wall. And they told us the construction crews were paid on their contracts. So they were paid to continue working.

But then they were, Biden said, cease all building of the wall, not another inch. And so they literally were just paid to twiddle their thumbs in their trailers for the extent of their contract. It's just like the most infuriating thing in the world. The slower out of migration to our country in the past two decades, it was a little lower than this. I mean, a lot lower than this, right? I don't think people really saw it as an issue. They're like, eh, a few more people here. North Carolina had a massive hurricane and FEMA ran out of money.

Yeah, and then they said $30 billion for a wall. Wow. That's way too big a price tag. $150 billion. Anytime Democrats... How much illegal immigration is... Anytime Democrats say that it costs too much money, it's all BS.

The United States prints the dollar if it wants to fund a program they just print the money democrats only care about things when they when they want when it's when it is functional for them to use as a reason to oppose it they don't have any principles they don't care about actually being fiscally responsible. The only time they talk about using about too much money or whatever is if it's a policy they don't like. It's always BS. Yes. Always BS. What was the votes that came out? Democrats, 156 Democrats voted against even getting rid of the. In the UK, too, wasn't it like that? A similar vote.

There was a vote to deport illegal immigrants convicted of sexual abuse and 156 democrats i think said no yeah it's insane like surely we can all agree that is a bad thing right what about the whole me too movement have we moved on from that they don't care i believe they don't care i just i believe all women come of consistency don't they will never be consistent it is all'm asking for a modicum of consistency. I just want to put that on the record. Don't. They will never be consistent. It is all BS and power for the life. I was watching this movie called Blink Twice. Have you guys heard of it? No.

It's a horror movie. And when I was hanging out with Allison, we're like, let's watch a movie. We're on Amazon. And then we see the description, and it's like, strange things are happening on an island. And then I'm just like, instantly I knew it was going to be some weird woke garbage. And then I was like, I don't know if I want to watch this.

It's going to be a story about a black woman who's attacked by white guys. And it's not a bad movie, but it does have a couple woke elements in it. If they just didn't do that, it would have been fine. Like it doesn't matter that the main character is black. None of that matters. What matters is that at one point in the movie, she screams she can't call the police

because the white men won't believe women, and no matter how many times women scream, believe women, men won't listen, and these white men would rather play golf with them or some other nonsense. I'm a white man, and I believe all women, so I just debunked that whole thing. On an island that wasn't in England?

No, it was in the Caribbean. Actually, the movie's a I'm a white man and I believe all women. So I just debunked that whole thing. Did this happen on an island that wasn't in England? Wasn't in London? You never believe anything a woman says? No, it was in the Caribbean. Actually, but the movie's a fine idea. It's got Channing Tatum, Christian Slater's in it. And it's basically about, I'm going to spoil them. I don't want to spoil the movie for you, but it's not a bad movie. It's just really annoying when right in the middle, it's like, hey, we have a plot hole.

She's being attacked. Why doesn't she tell the cops? Oh, because the cops are racist and don't believe women. Perfect. Write that in. And then she yells about it. And I'm like, ugh. We were talking about this earlier.

It's the, we miss the suspension of disbelief. We watch movies for this, right? I watch sports. I want to zone out. I want to watch a movie. I want to watch the fights. I can't even do that anymore because there's always something implemented in the middle of it that pulls me back into reality. Like, oh, yeah, that's what's going on in the world.

Okay, Denzel and Gladiator, though. Denzel and Gladiator. In the new one? It's not a good movie. Gladiator 2? It's not a good movie, but Denzel is – it's funny because everybody has kind of like that pseudo – Are you talking about Gladiator 2? Yeah, Gladiator 2.

Oh, okay. Everyone has like that pseudo accent, you know, like, oh, yes, we are in the Roman Empire right now. And then Denzel is just like, okay. It's so funny. You guys want to fight with some swords? I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. I want to see Bruce Willis duct tape a gun to his back and then scream,

you know what I mean? None of it makes sense. But I don't care. We're here to have fun. That was like Maverick, right? Like it was the Top Gun movie with Maverick. There wasn't a whole lot of substance. It was just awesome Americana. It was Star Wars. And it did really, really well.

Right. It did Star Wars. Yeah. People liked it. But they should have made a bad guy. I don't understand why they were like the enemy, you know? They didn't want to say the Russians or the Chinese or anything like that. I'm like, who cares?

We do it all the time. If you get banned in China, then you lose hundreds of millions of dollars. That's why they didn't do it. Because they were like, we want to market in Russia. All right. You ready for this Quentin Tarantino tangent right here? Sure. Okay.

So Once Upon a Time in Tibet was the first movie to get really banned in China. That big, big money movie that lost hundreds of millions of dollars by getting banned in China. It was like 97. Brad Pitt was the star of that movie. Seven years in Tibet. Seven years in Tibet. Is that what I said? Yes.

You said Once Upon a Time in Tibet. Sorry. Seven years in Tibet is that what I said? 7 years in Tibet once upon a time in Hollywood Brad Pitt is the stuntman who beats the crap out of Bruce Lee and Quentin Tarantino knew that that was going to get banned in Hollywood in China

and he did it anyways he used Brad Pitt for that specific reason oh very funny yeah that's all right ladies and gentlemen let's jump to this next story from the post millennial breaking Donald Trump jr travels to Greenland as President Trump continues to explore U.S. ownership of the territory it's happening dude look at this Greenland leader calls for independence from Denmark as Trump enters. They added sled teams though. Denmark said they were bolstering their sled dogs. And they changed their coat of arms

to put... No joke, dude. They said that. They were like, we are sending two more sled teams to bolster the security. It's over. Dude, that place is the size of... Greenland is ours. Two sled teams to cover Greenland. We are taking this very seriously. It's very difficult to get cover Greenland. We are taking this very seriously.

It's very difficult to get to Greenland. Okay? The flights exist. It's possible you can go there. There's a very small population. They're not good. Look, I got to be honest. You got this beautiful Chad, United States, or this virgin Denmark,

and this buxom Greenland. Who are they going to pick? I mean, come on. Let's just play it this way. You're young, sugar mama or sugar daddy, and one, it's a small, you know, I don't know,

Baltic nation. They're okay. I mean, it's got its wealth and everything. And then there's the United States, the wealthiest nation on the planet. The richest person you know is being like, nah, dump that person. Come with me. It's like a job offer. He's going to put Trump Tower there too. Remember he did the tweet of that? Yeah. I wanted to have him.

As an aside, the United States acquired the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917 and it was $25 million in gold coin. Wow. It was what they cost. So I don't know what, you know, if it's significantly more for

Greenland, but I think the U.S. should. I think that's how much Epstein paid for a little St. James there. Oh, I heard the old standards coming back. I'm sorry. Look, the reason that the U.S. Virgin Islands were actually good for the U.S. is because they're strategic. They allowed the U.S. to have naval bases

to help defend the Panama Canal and etc. So they were valuable too, even though they didn't have the same kind of resources. I mean, it's tremendously valuable for the United States. I mean, it's extremely strategic. Look, it puts us very close to Iceland, to northern Europe, to Russia, the Arctic Circle, all that stuff. And right now, what is Denmark really doing? Buy it. We need it.

Let's take it. Let's take those sled dogs down. Its population as of 2022 is 56,000. You can send Christy, know him. Call the Federal Reserve, tell them to print up the money. We need it. Buy it. No old yeller on there. What's Denmark doing?

What does Denmark do if Greenland votes for independence and then votes to join the United States as a territory? They speed skate right over there and they try to secure everything they can. They do nothing. They do nothing at all. Because the United States is the muscle of NATO. Oh, they make some more chocolate. Just like Canada, they do nothing.

The United States makes moves and other countries respond. When you have a president like Trump, when you have a strong United States, the United States does what it wants and it doesn't have to be dropping bombs or military. It can just be like, this is what we're going to do. Here's how we're going to do it. And other countries are going to comply. I actually like this idea because there are a lot of countries I will not go to because they will arrest me for things I've said on Twitter.

So I like the idea. Yeah, like the UK? Uh-huh. I like the idea of being able to go to an island I've been to before and then hang out and not get arrested for mean tweets. Yeah, I mean, the UK is once again threatening to extradite American citizens for saying naughty things. I'm done.

What was the story? There was a kid who got a four-year sentence for, what did he do? It was mean tweets. Yeah, they've thrown a bunch of people in jail for mean tweets. Maybe we should annex Ireland. I'm a Mick Guinness. I don't. No?

You don't want Ireland? No. No? There's nothing good in Ireland. The Irish can't even get along. There's some surf up there.'s a beautiful place no they put Pete in all their scotch no thank you dude you're talking to a Mick Guinness here T what Pete Pete Pete yes yeah well I mean Highlands don't lowlands not so much I lay is very much so peated wait a second mr. pro America over here has

Japanese whiskey cuz it's better. Because it's better. If it's good, it's good. Wait, whose whiskey is that? Never mind. That's mine. Oh. Oh, it's being a bottle. It's imported. Huh. That was always allowed. Nook? Is that how you say it? The largest city

in Greenland? List of cities and towns in Greenland. It of cities and towns in Greenland. It's ours now. We got to have it. It looks beautiful. We can rename it. Look up the sled dog headquarters.

Where's that? Oh, look at that. They got the Aurora Borealis. We need it. This city's Laura. This one's Eric Jr. I went to Utqiagvik in 2023. That was fun.

Where's that? You see, here's a funny thing. And this is a good story for all of you. We talked about this story when we came back for the year, but it used to be called Barrow, Alaska. Barrow. Back when the Americans settled it, there were a bunch of people

already there, but those people largely didn't really care. You live on the ice. You hunt whale. There's no trees because it's in the Arctic Circle and everything's just frozen mud. And so it gets... I don't know exactly the history, but it gets named Barrow. The United States gets Alaska. They say this is Barrow.

It's the northernmost point in the United States. There was a vote to change the name to its original Utqiakvik. That's what the natives referred to it as. And most people there, at least this is what I was told, they were fine with the name Barrow. But a handful of activists went and voted and nobody else did. So the name is now Utqi Akfet. Even though if you go there, locals say Barrow. That's how insane it is.

People need to go out and vote. That's what's really annoying. I'm glad to see that people actually voted for Donald Trump. Activists are the worst. Yeah. Well, I mean, look, they win because they're active. Activists. That's right., well, I mean, look, they win because they're active. Pists. That's right. They're awful people.

They are. So what are we going for in Greenland? We going for oil? Just take it. Figure out later in post. I'm sure there's a bunch of things that are worth having. We need it. We need those two sled dog teams.

Isn't Greenland where they have a lot of geothermal stuff? I'm assuming. Or is it Iceland? Iceland has the black sand beaches. That's Iceland. Greenland's 2020 estimated

nominal GDP is $3 billion. That's pretty small. Donald Trump himself can buy it. That's pretty small. Donald Trump himself can buy it. Per capita, that's not bad. We might be able to save Ukraine with that money. $54,000 per capita. That's GDP.

We need it by... Wow. If it does have any kind of geothermal activity, you can just set up a whole bunch of Bitcoin mines. There you go, I guess. I think it's actually pretty likely. I mean, I don't think Trump Jr. is going there. activity you just you can just set up a whole bunch of bitcoin mines there you go i guess i think i think it's actually pretty likely i mean i don't think trump jr is going there uh he's set to visit greenland on tuesday after trump expressed interest in exploring the possibility of u.s

ownership yo denmark's got nothing if the state then or do we just guam it up territory if the u.s goes to greenland and says look we'll provide you with a billion dollar loan guaranteed once a year, they're going to be like, done. Yep. Development, research, exploration, jobs. They're going to be like, okay. Yep. We need it. Denmark's going to be like, but we'll give you speed skating teams.

Denmark's not going to do anything. They're going to be like, give us back Lars Ulrich. And we're going to say, take him. He's not even the best drummer in Metallica. And then we're going to be like, isica and then we're going to be like is that it? they're going to be like we still want Greenland back

and be like we're not talking about Greenland that is off the table Greenland is America now actually I think more likely the US is going to be like we won't give you Greenland but we'll give you Lars

and they're going to be like how dare you we refuse they're going to say give us James he's better at drums than Lars is. He can drum in 3-4 and 4-4, 6-8 sometimes, 7-4 out of the question. Oh, unbelievable.

How dare he? So Trump posted, I am hearing the people of Greenland, our MAGA, my son Don Jr. and various reps, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sites. Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if and when it becomes part of our nation. We will protect it and cherish it from a very vicious outside world. Holy crap, dude.

It's ours now. Already ours. And that will give us a staging point, a beachhead for our invasion of Alaska, I'm sorry, of Canada. Wait a minute. What if we turn it into Australia? The new prison state.

We just send everyone there. We take the green people out. We bring them in here. Good job, green people. The green people. The green people. That's what we're going to call them now. Greenlandians.

And we send the 15 million to Greenland. Build a wall around it. Australia part two. Escape from Greenland. Solves a lot of problems. I mean, look, I've been advocating for the island for some time. The island of Greenland. Solves a lot of problems. I mean, look, I've been advocating for the island for some time. The island of Greenland. We sent them to Mexico, to Haiti, to Cuba, where they came from.

They're going to come right back over. Greenland? They're not making that trek. Well, I've been saying that instead of the death penalty, just create an island and put people there and say, we're not going to kill you because killing is wrong, but we hereby agree not to be responsible for you anymore, so you go to the island. So you shut down

Gitmo and then you just make all of Greenland. I feel like Greenland is worth more than that. Does it have oil? We still haven't really determined what Greenland, what it has. It has geothermal activity.

Mining Bitcoin, man. Greenland is believed to have significant oil and gas reserves. Boom. Particularly offshore. There you go. Yep. Well, we can't do that because Biden. We need to be reliant.

We need to be reliant on Saudi Arabian crude oil. In case you didn't know, he died months ago. That is just a corpse that they are wheeling around. Someone said that Biden released a statement. I was like, Biden didn't release a statement. He said, God damn it, today. I heard that. So I went to Iceland a couple years ago.

He's in prime form. Iceland was very poor until they discovered, developed, invented geothermal energy. Now they have access to large amounts of energy because they tap geothermal. Now there's greenhouses, they're growing plants, and they're decently well off in Iceland. Greenland has untapped geothermal reserves and oil. And Denmark ain't doing nothing for these people.

If the U.S. sends in industry and they build geothermal plants, the standard of living for people in Greenland is going to skyrocket. We don't even need to offer them money. We're going to say, no, we're not going to be anything. We're going to send in the oil companies and then you're all going to skyrocket. We don't even need to offer them money. We're going to say, no, we're not going to be anything. We're going to send in the oil companies, and then you're all going to be rich. Just don't let Dick Cheney get involved. Bitcoin's over $100,000 again. Would this be a workaround, though? Because I know Biden didn't put that in.

They said they'd have to actually get it approved through Congress to bypass what Biden did. If Greenland is just a territory, would that bypass his last order that he can drill? Anything that any of Biden's executive orders, they can all be rescinded as soon as Trump goes in. I thought it had to pass in Congress. There was something I did not. If it's if I understand correctly, if it's an executive order, then the incoming president can make an executive order to undo it. And that's why executive orders are actually like a bad idea.

You want to get legislation passed by Congress. You know, they are actually a bad idea. You want to get legislation passed by Congress. They're not a bad idea. You want to get massive omnibus bills. We can train, I don't know, Afghan women how to do backflips with a beach ball. What? On their head. Yeah. $35 million.

Is that actually in one of the omnibus? There was something ridiculous. Maybe it wasn't a beach ball. Always something ridiculous. Maybe it was some variation of that. Always. That would sound awful. Don't fact check me out there.

You actually sold that. You did sell it. It was all right. But yeah, I think that the executive orders, they can just be rescinded by the incoming administration. That was my understanding. I heard some pundit talking about I had to go through Congress for this. And again, it's Twitter, so.

It's the Internet. You know it's true. I read it on the Internet. No. We got this. Let's pull up this story I just saw is breaking news from CNBC. Shares of Tencent fall over 5% in Hong Kong after U.S. designates it as a Chinese military company. Did the U.S. just do that?

Designating Tencent? So doesn't Tencent own Discord? Or do they own like a portion of it or something? I don't even know what Tencent is. Tencent is the largest video game vendor. Oh. Yeah. This is crazy news.

I don't know. I don't know if I know. I don't know that I know enough about Tencent to actually properly comment on this, but I didn't realize the U.S. had declared it a Chinese military company. That's crazy. So it has WeChat. Tencent is best known for its messaging services such as Wexin and WeChat.

So, I mean, I don't know much about, obviously don't know much about Tencent, but I mean, if it's involved in these types of technologies, then it makes perfect sense that it would be a military contractor. What's going to happen with TikTok? That's what I was thinking too. Because now Trump doesn't want to ban it because he thinks it helped him.

But I think that's silly. That's stupid. I think TikTok should get nuked. A lot of Mac influencers are heavily invested with their clicks, likes, and revenue streams through TikTok. So here we go. Tencent has a majority stake in Riot Games.

It's got a 40% stake in Epic Games. It's got a minority stake in Activision Blizzard. It owns 12% of Snap, Snapchat. It's got a 5% stake of Tesla. It's got a 15% stake in Glue. I don't know what that is. It participated in a funding round for Discord. I don't know how much that means.

And it raised $300 million in funding. Reddit got $300 million in funding from around, okay, Tencent, okay, weird strangely. Tencent gave $150 million to Reddit, according to Reuters and The Verge. And here we go. We actually have the story from The Verge. This is pretty nuts.

Yo, this could affect Tesla. Let's talk about that TikTok ban, right? When they said that you can't have ownership, this would force Tesla to divest from anything held by Tencent. This is what people were warning about the TikTok ban, that if we say any company with ownership from these adversarial countries would have to divest, this would put Tesla, Riot, Epic, Snapchat, Activision, Discord, Reddit, all in this position where they would have to find new investors and sell the stake.

That's pretty crazy. Look at this. U.S. designates Tencent and CATL as Chinese military companies. This is just reported today. Yo, that's pretty wild. What do you guys think? Should we ban TikTok? No. Put it in greenland no um what it's called there'd be good for the servers well tiktok is the only social media that

the cia and intel agencies don't have a backdoor into right this is china owned no it's china just chinese the ccp has a backdoor i know right, but I mean, I don't know. I think that the United States, I'm not saying that we should ban TikTok, although I probably could be convinced that it's not a bad idea. But the United States. That's happened in Canada. I think it was in San Francisco. They had some of that kind of stuff happening in Boston. The whole balloon flying over the U.S. and the U.S. did nothing about it. I think the the at least the Biden administration, for sure, has been entirely toothless when it comes to China.

And I think that the U.S. really needs to take a long, hard look at the policies towards China. Might have been some financial incentives there. I mean, I think that's likely. But I do think that the U.S. There's a there's a serious threat from from China as a, you know, I mean, they're they's likely, but I do think that the U.S. There's a serious threat from China as a, you know, I mean, they're an upcoming global power. I think, you know, someone super chatted, Hal Gailey super chatted, under 18, no algorithmic feeds now. You got to go more than that.

I think there is a real simple solution to a lot of these issues, and it's to treat social media the same as we already treat real life. By all means means go out into the street stuff the nerds in the lockers if you regrets if you go out in public and hold a big sign of graphic adult material you're gonna get arrested it's illegal but if you go on x and do it they allow it and there's kids on the platform so either you're gonna ban anyone under 18 from using any social media, and the only thing they can get is a curated feed from Netflix, YouTube, or whatever,

Disney Plus, or you arrest people when they post these things publicly. Well, they had YouTube kids, right? And that didn't turn out great. There was a lot of CP that was on that as well. Roblox, it's inundated with that. I mean, evil will persist regardless what parameters you set and how much you want to limit their functionality.

Florida, Louisiana, Texas, it's a handful of states that have now made it, you have to show your ID if you want to go on adult websites. You have to register with the state. Do I think that's a good solution? I don't want kids to have access to those things, but should

you have to register for the state to access an adult inner side as a consenting adult i don't know i i always struggle with how much power i want to get the government to regulate what i can i can't do as a free citizen i mean that's the the whole libertarian take of you know the government shouldn't be doing this shouldn't be doing that um like in principle i agree but if the power exists to be involved in these things then the left's gonna take it if the right doesn't yes yeah so i think i think finding the companies are not setting up so for specifically for adult websites they should have their own uh 2fa system where they're checking for VPNs, they're making sure that it actually is an adult that is registering these things. I think you put in

comment upon the companies that they want to be in business of this. It is one of the largest, most profitable industries. They can find some way to navigate this to make sure kids aren't getting on here. Make it a comment upon them. Don't get the state involved. Yeah, I don't mind that. You know, like I said, I just think that as long as there's a power that is assumed the government has, if the right doesn't utilize it, then the left will. I think that the government,

I would love to see more people assume. Isn't that like a death spiral argument, though? Yeah, it is. We're already way down the slippery slope, man. It's not like, if you get rid of the commerce clause if you get rid of the the commerce clause and you get rid of the um the necessary and proper clause then you'd have a different a different argument or different discussion instead of buying greenland we just sell california

the slippery slope moves in every direction yeah there is nowhere to stand so when you know i'm tired of this argument where it's like yeah but if we you know, if we censor, if we if we declare this thing to be illegal, the left will declare our thing illegal. And it's like when when when you don't enforce your way of life, you end up with these graphic adult books in children's schools for six, 10 year olds getting these graphic adult content. And then when we complain about they lie And we are then forced into a political battle to try and pull the overturning window back the other direction. And the argument then is, but if you go too far, the slippery slope,

now they're saying that Obergefell, gay marriage, will likely be overturned because the liberals are challenging it. The argument is, and I don't know how likely this is, you're going to get some clerk in a conservative state who's going to refuse to sign a gay marriage certificate. They're going to sue and lose or win. It's going to get appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's going to say, we don't see why this is an issue for the federal government.

Like Roe v. Wade, we think it should go back to the states. Have a nice day. Well, Obergefell just says that they have to recognize marriage licenses, correct? Yeah. But isn't there a precedent? Because isn't the precedent that they have to recognize marriage licenses, correct? Yeah. I'm fine with that. But isn't there a precedent? Because isn't the precedent that they have to recognize driver's license? I don't know.

I have no idea. Okay. I don't think it matters. The argument is they're going to say, why is the federal government involved in whether or not a state wants to recognize or not recognize a marriage? Well, then the same argument

could be made about driver's license. Why is it that California must recognize New Hampshire's driver's license? Because those are a function of economics and infrastructure. And marriage is a question of tax code, blah, blah, blah. The federal government can choose to recognize that, but there is another issue. The argument, like there's no correlation between a driver's license and a marriage license. It's a license. So what?

How about— So the argument that would be— License for love. But listen, it's the— Driving a car is operating heavy machinery, and marriage is tax code. So the argument that is going to be—that's the argument that's going to be presented to the Supreme Court, though. If it does go—if you go to the Supreme Court, they're going to say, well, how come we should you know, how come you will

recognize, and the reason I say this is because there's an argument about firearms permits. How come the U.S. This is exactly what I was thinking. Because there's a second amendment. You should recognize my CWP when I come to your state. Exactly. The point is, no, no, no, no, no, no. Any requirement of a permit is an infringement

on our rights, period. And the Supreme Court is derelict. And when Kavanaugh said you can require permits. No, that's an infringement. Telling me I have to get permission from the government for my right is an infringement. Yeah. So there's no argument there. But, you know, you're I'm not you're not going to you're not going to you're not going to have me saying that that there be – that it shouldn't be nationwide constitutional carry. That's what I think it should be. But the arguments will be made to the Supreme Court about the reciprocity of marriage license. The argument being made right now is that the Supreme Court is going to respond much like they did Roe v. Wade and say this issue is not operating heavy machinery. It has nothing to do with

permitted use of a large device which can kill people. It's a question of whether or not we apply tax code to two same-sex individuals. That is not a question for the federal government, unless Congress passes a law about recognition or blah, blah, blah. Or a constitutional amendment or, you know. Yeah, constitutional amendment. So the questions that were brought up in Obergefell were, does the 14th Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex, one, and two, does the 14th Amendment require a state to recognize marriage between two people of the same sex that was legally licensed and performed in another state?

So it's a licensing question. No, it isn't. That's literally what it just said. I know, but you're conflating licensing with specific things. A lot of things get licenses. You have a license to fish. My fishing license in Illinois is not recognized in Indiana. The argument—

Just saying it's a license is not the point. The point that I'm making is this was a licensing question. Yes. One of the arguments in Obergefell was about licensing. And it doesn't matter. Because the question is going to be to the Supreme Court. Should the federal government be involved in whether or not a state will recognize a marriage? And the argument can be made. The Supreme Court will simply respond the same way as Roe v. Wade and say it's not a role of the federal government. Question that they're of the Supreme Court is does is this is is are all the states required to recognize the license?

I understand that. And the Supreme Court will say that it's not a question for the Supreme Court. I think maybe say that or the other. It could go anyway. The point is, we have a conservative Supreme Court that has already said Roe v. Wade was not a question for the Supreme Court. The states should decide. And then when they come out and say the federal government should recognize licenses interstate because they're marriages, they might say, no, that's not a question for the Supreme Court. Ask Congress. Maybe.

I think that I think the argument that the I mean, I can't predict what the Supreme Court is going to say, but I do think that the argument about licensing, the argument is going to be, well, we do that with driver's licenses. We don't do that with fishing licenses. Fishing licenses aren't the same thing as driver's licenses. And driver's licenses aren't the same thing as marriage licenses. You're just doing things that don't make sense being correlated. Okay.

A gun license is not a driver's license. A driver's license is not a marriage license. A marriage license is not a fishing license. A hunting license is not a fishing license. These things don't work intrastate. If you bring a licensing question to the government, to the Supreme Court, they're going to try to use whether it be a fishing license or a gun license. The argument that the most obvious argument that they're going to make is they're going

to say it's a licensing. And the point is, you have an argument as to why you think it may be. And it's immaterial to the fact the Supreme Court may say licensing is all different. We're not going to answer a question over what. In fact, I think from your point of view, the argument stands. They would overturn Obergefell under the guise of if we are going to answer this question that all licensing from the state must be recognized by other states. That means all gun permits are hereby legal in every state. All fishing licenses are hereby legal. All hunting licenses, all licenses to paint your home,

all licenses to permits to build a property. We're not going to answer that. That's a ridiculous can of worms. Yeah, it's a lawyer. It means every lawyer can operate in every single state, but laws are different. They're going to say no. States must determine within their own jurisdiction what they license and

what they don't, and Congress will have to determine otherwise. I don't know where we're at with Congress. The point is, the slippery slope goes in every direction. I think what we're coming together, I think they would take that route, kick it back down to the states. It's kind of a Pontus Pilate

washing the hands. You guys figure this out. I'm not getting involved. I think what Phil is arguing is that if they do take this on the arguments that were the the original arguments for this is that if it is a licensing issue then all licenses should be accepted everywhere which is it's an insane argument exactly so i i do think it'll err on the side of where you're landing it's going to be that but the argument that the license should be recognized everywhere i should be able to have a gun everywhere right if but so so for the issue of driver's licenses it's a this is the point about the slippery slope going in every direction people say we have to let the left say whatever they want because if we ban what they're saying they'll ban what we're saying it's like okay well they've been banning what we're saying, they'll ban what we're saying. And it's like, okay, well, they've been banning what we're saying. They keep doing it. And then what happens is they operate under

that Karl Popper meme of if you tolerate intolerance, intolerance wins. Therefore, we're going to ban everybody we hate. And then we keep going, well, we're going to let them keep doing these things, advocating for psychotic, deranged ideology that puts children in harm's way. Here's a slippery slope. When you defend the free speech of the left, you get graphic adult books in grade schools. That's the slippery slope. So the dissenting argument in Obergefell is exactly what you were saying. Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. wrote a dissent in which he argued that while same-sex marriage might be a good and fair policy, the Constitution does not address it, and therefore it's beyond the

purview of the court to decide whether states have to recognize or license such unions so what was the makeup of the court when no burger fell was passed uh five to four liberal it was uh yeah it was five to four liberal no it was uh 2016 i think wasn't it 2016 2014 uh let me see one second it was where's the date where's the date 2015 january 16th holy cow so yeah it was and now we have a six to three conservative court yeah that may go five to four but i believe that i i think we have a very strong possibility that there's going to be some some some uh some a gay couple is going to file in arkansas clerk's going to say no they're going to sue they're going to lose they're going to appeal to a federal court they're going to win or lose it'll get appealed by either side the

supreme court supreme court's going to say as john ro Roberts already did, this is not a question for the Supreme Court. Ask Congress. We hereby overturn Obergefell. Because of the makeup of the court, I think you're right. I think I agree with that because that's already the argument that dissent made. And so this is the slippery slope. When you go in the direction of, hey, guys, like, I don't care that gay people get married, okay? Like, I know people who are gay and who are married, and I'm totally fine with it. Dave Rubin's a great example.

He's a good dude. He's a friend. He's gay married. And he is against them putting this stuff in schools. You've got gays against groomers, also friends of ours. They, I don't know if any of them

are married or whatever, but they oppose this stuff in schools. But what happens is, the left as a large group ultimately moves in the direction of as they state their argument is if a child in a school sees a teacher who has a picture of their gay married husband on their desk, the teacher should be allowed to tell the student. Well, if that's the case, if you're doing sex ed, the children have to be taught about gay sex. Otherwise, you're violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act. That's the slippery slope.

So then we say, OK, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no, no. That's gone way too far. And so we say, pull it back. And we did. We elected Donald Trump. And what happened then? He appointed three conservative justices.

And now what's likely going to happen? Well, Roe v. Wade got overturned. That's the slippery slope in the direction. There is no point in human society where you stand still and say, this is the happy medium. It's not going to happen. I think we are very likely going to see at some point, the Supreme Court is going to be made up the way it is for a very long time. Obergefell is likely going to get overturned. I just think that's a high probability.

But let's talk about this story here. We got this one from CNBC. This is huge news. UFC's Dana White joins Meta's board weeks before Trump takes office. Dana White is great. Longtime friend of President-elect Donald Trump joining the board of Meta.

Mark Zuckerberg said in a post that White has built the UFC into one of the most valuable, fast-growing, and most popular sports enterprises in the world. That is true. And they say John Elkin, the CEO of Italian holding company Exor and former Microsoft executive, Charlie Songhurst are also joining Meta's board. This is massive. Dana White is a friend of Trump. He is a Trump supporter. He is on the board. This is going to have a massive positive impact. He's twice as wide as Zucker.

Hey, man, Zuckerberg's been doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I think Zuckerberg's a UFC fan. This is the best. So, honestly, this is actually a great thing. It looks like a pencil next to it. I do jiu-jitsu. It's my hobby. And I can tell you that the majority of that environment,

those people that come in there, they start very much like Zuckerberg. Everyone wants to be a tough guy. You come in, you figure out that you get folded in 16 different ways. And you love it for some reason. You realize that your cardio isn't as good as you thought your cardio was. And I think this could be a good thing for him. He is lining himself up with people who are probably centrists, populists. And he's going to learn a new way of life.

I'm actually excited about this. Zuckerberg started doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu. That's what he was training, right? It spiked his testosterone. His hair grew out. Got a gold chain. Well, I mean, he did. But I really do think...

His eyes became sentient again. He's this scrawny tech bro. UFC becomes popular. He's got some friends who are like, let's watch the fight. He gets interested in it. He says, yeah, man, I want to do that. That looks fun. I'll get in shape.

He starts training, starts building muscle mass, starts eating meat, testosterone spikes, and now here he is putting Dana White on the board of Meta. I mean, look, anything that could—if he can be influenced by people like Dana White, I think that's a good thing um it's also like i know that we're going to be all really critical of of facebook because the way they behave for the past 10 years um but if this is another sign that zuck is moving away from kind of being in bed with the government i'd say good you know their solution to the whole thing is um and i know just through people who still run businesses on facebook uh related to news content is they just were like

what's even the point of having political content on facebook so now news company no seriously like news companies the revenue on facebook has just absolutely fallen through the floor because they no longer have an there's just like like, you know, what's the point? The amount of moderation that it takes, the amount of headache that comes with, you know, everything that happened with like the Hunter Biden laptop and all that. They're just like, well, why would we even monetize this?

So let's just... Well, I've been talking... So obviously the new year is here, ad sales and all that stuff's happening. We've been talking to a bunch of companies and we've often mentioned Facebook, which we underutilize. And the response from all the networks is nobody cares about Facebook.

Yeah, exactly. It's a dead network. It's a boomer network. It's boomer memes and basically like, I don't know, elevated Craigslist. Ten years ago, it was the king. I know. I mean, Daily Caller, that was where we made most of our video revenue. Well, you know what it was?

Called the boomer crack. Facebook started banning uh these the companies that made money doing it they started like they started going after people who figured out how to monetize the platform exactly you figure out the algorithm and then they you know they they game it and then you're all of a sudden like okay well back to the drawing board let's facebook facebook ended itself but yeah which is completely stupid like one of the things that people like about tiktok not that i'm pro tiktok but one of the things that people like about tiktok not that i'm pro tiktok but one of the things that people like about tiktok is tiktok tells you with great detail of how to expand your reach this is what you need to do if you want and blah blah and facebook is like hides that information they don't put your

your posts into the into feeds and they do it on instagram is where you see it mostly but like you it's like a big secret about how you can do stuff. And it's like, why are you making this difficult for people to use your platform in the way that they want to? Why aren't you? Everyone knows that TikTok is eating Facebook's lunch. Why is it that you're not doing that with your platform? Because you have people in Silicon Valley who are completely detached from reality and i know because i've dealt with those people running uh news business on facebook and is it that there is it really that they're

oh dude like we literally like is that why i'm not saying they're not wrong about them being detached but is that why they they don't think it's a good idea to let people know how to optimize their because they think that you know they can be the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain and get away with it. And we had a dude come down, and obviously Daily Caller is viewed, founded by Tucker Carlson, viewed as just an absolute trash tabloid

by these people from Menlo Park in Silicon Valley. So this guy comes in from Facebook. We're at the Facebook HQ, which is the most beautiful building in downtown D.C. And he literally comes in, puts his feet up on the table, and he's like, so you guys live in D.C.? You know what Congress is, right? Like, yeah, and he was the head of like standards and practices. He's like, well, think of me like the Congress of Facebook.

Like as he puts his feet on the table, and we're like, is this a – I mean, this is kind of a legit power play if this guy is serious here. Like it was just the degree to which they look down their nose at conservatives on the platform is was astounding. And, you know, it's at the same time, it's if you look at the top news outlets on Facebook every week, Daily Wire, it's all New York Times is like number 10. So it is overwhelmingly a conservative. And they set themselves on fire. Yeah. Maybe with Dana White joining the board, he might be like, hey, guys, stop getting involved like this and let companies succeed. Facebook's a really good example of overregulation destroying industry. Yeah.

There you go. I don't know how this is back to something we talked about earlier. I don't know how reliable this Twitter account is, but someone's it's at EXXalerts is saying that Trump Jr. says that Trump has a plan to buy Greenland.

He has a deal worked up for the purchase of Greenland. Should be interesting. I don't know. Is it going to work out better than Atlantic City? I hope so. I hope so. Well, Ilantic city's got problems have you read have you read art of the deal specifically new jersey it's like the entire second half of the book he just spends bragging about his projects in atlantic city and how successful they are yeah but you know what atlantic city's problem is new jersey yeah yeah i mean that's that's exactly right hey i bring this up all the time we we've got uh like 10 casinos within an hour hour and a half That's legal. Yeah. I mean, that's exactly right. Dude. Hey.

I bring this up all the time. We've got like 10 casinos within an hour, hour and a half from where we are right now. Or you've got a casino right here, too. On your phone, even. Yeah. Sports betting. It's gotten nuts. So, yeah.

In the 2000s, there was no gambling anywhere. There was Indian casinos. There was Vegas. And there was Atlantic City. Florida's blowing up, too. Yeah. Oh, bro. In Miami, there's like 25 casinos, there was Vegas, and there was Atlantic City. Florida's blowing up too. Yeah. Oh, bro, in Miami, there's like 25 casinos. It's nuts. So Atlantic City was a booming. And then

all the states started legalizing gambling. And then people were like, I don't need to drive to Atlantic City anymore. It doesn't count as a casino if you can't smoke inside, though, in my opinion. Most of them are banned. I know Tim hates that. No, not unless I'm hates that no not bro dude everybody hates it not unless i'm at a five dollar blackjack table it's menthols all the way people to go play the casino here because of the smoking well i'll i'll go sure smoking but like they have a five dollar table

because i do five dollar blackjack no nope oh well 15 wow that is way they have a five dollar promo table sometimes if you use their app or whatever, but I don't know if they have that anymore. But that place is like walking into a – it's smog. It's like walking into – you're in Shenzhen. It's like just smoke everywhere. It's awful. You walk in for five minutes, you leave smelling like smoke.

And the non-smoking section only has slot machines. But the poker room is non-smoking section only has slot machines. But the poker room's not smoking, so I play poker there. I smoked for almost a decade, and I'm like 14 years quit now. I smoke a cigar like twice a year, New Year's and then July 4th. Yeah, but cigars are different. You don't inhale those.

Yeah, that's definitely... You look back and you're like, oh man. It is miserable. So that's the only casino that allows smoking in the area, and they do it intentionally because they want to steal customers. Their attitude is like, oh man. It is miserable. So that's the only casino that allows smoking in the area. And they do it intentionally because they want to steal customers. Their attitude is like, if you go to MGM or Maryland Live or Horseshoe or

what else we got out here? We got another Hollywood. If you go to any of those casinos, you can't smoke. But if you come to us, you can smoke. I got a personal story. So my mother-in-law and Susie, I'm sorry for sharing the story publicly, online, live. She used to smoke. She was like 35 years, smoked like a pack a day. And I can't stand the smell because I quit smoking.

And the people who hate smoking the worst are the ones who used to smoke. I used to smoke. I miss it. I had my second oldest ask her one time, When do you get the hole in your throat, grandma? She quit like a week later. She's been quit. Level 20. When does it get three pack a day?

Newports, yeah. But she's been quit smoking now for almost 10 years. She's saved. She's got an app she tracks with the money she saved from quitting smoking. So proud of you, Sam. You did a good thing. I'm not. You didn You did a good thing. I'm not.

You didn't do a good thing. Like if there's one, like if a genie popped out of a magic lantern and said you can have one wish, be like Marlboros that don't give you cancer, bro. Tastes the same, but they don't give me cancer. Give them to me. Well, it's the activity, right?

It's after you eat. No, it's the Marlboro, dude. No, it's the Marlboro. It's the cigarette. It's the nicotine. My one wish for my genie is a cigarette that I can smoke in the shower. No, I want cigarettes that don't give you cancer. Marlboro Reds that don't give you cancer. That's what I want. And a shower gun that fires, even

though it's soaking wet. Yeah. I mean, that's most guns. You know, back to the story. I do think trends like this and the shift, we're going to see a shift in social media, especially with this move that is going to just vaporize what we know of as wokeness on the left. Yes. Yeah. Yep. People are sick of woke, you know. So what?

What? What? What? What do the Democrats become? Angry. Well, there's I mean, like we see the the fight in the U.S. or I'm sorry, in the in the Republican Party. But there's also a fight going on in the in the Democrat Party about whether it's the progress, you know, actual reasonable Democrat that's actually focusing on the working class and not about all the woke stuff. And so maybe that'll actually.

They're going to rebrand, right? They're going to rebrand. They're in that season for maybe four midterms. It's going to take more than just four years. But yeah. Yeah. Because they still have to figure that the fight's going to go on for a while because woke is there's a lot of people that make a whole lot of money off of off of you know racial animus and blah blah blah people like abram x kendy and stuff like that they

make a whole lot of money off of that then yeah they're gonna they're gonna fight to keep that to be the focus and it's gonna take a little time my concern is i believe they really are audio logs though they they actually believed everything they said. They want that. They just didn't get it through this time. You're, I think you're right. And like Tim's,

Tim's idea of woke is the average kind of like person that, that is just listening to them. There is a small group of people that are ideologically motivated, but then the most of the people that you would consider woke don't have any kind of allegiance to an ideology. They're just doing what is politically correct. Well, maybe they have their own populist movement, right? Woke ideology. Now we're having

ours. So I will take this time to give you the definition of woke. There are many people who have tried to define it, and they all do it from a particularly myopic view. And I try to understand woke from every possible like, what is the unifying factor of why this person and this person over here see this thing and say it's woke? This person over here says it's critical theory. This person over here says it's gay stuff.

And I'm like, whoa, whoa. What's the overarching pattern? Post-modernism. It's not. It's cult-like adherence to liberal social orthodoxy. But what is liberal? So war with Ukraine is not postmodernism. No, no.

But when you say liberal orthodoxy, that seems to me to be an oxymoron because the definition of the word liberal. Liberal. Big L. Big L liberal. Yeah. It's a reference to a political faction of individuals that unify around one political faction that we know that we we view as what liberal is. It's not the actual word liberal. Don't in America. Progressive and liberal have meanings, but there's colloquial understanding of what the words mean.

So when we say liberal or conservative, we don't we're not literally saying the true definition of a conservative who's conserving what traditional values. And when we say liberal, we don't talk about classical liberals. That's why we define classical liberal as classical liberal. So you can call it leftist or you can call it politically left social orthodoxy. But that's why you can have pro-Ukraine war, pro-feminist, anti-Israel. None of it makes sense other than they must be unified around what their social order says. The best example of this is a Jaguar commercial, Jaguar, you see how I said it? Where that commercial came out was called woke by everybody, but there's zero politics in it. It's literally just goofy looking art

people. Why do they call it woke? Because it represents the cultural aesthetic of the left, of liberalism, postmodernist art. Yeah. So when they say, you know, James Lindsay says, woke is, he says, nothing is more woke than critical theory. And I'm like, that Jaguar commercial had nothing to do with critical theory. It simply donned the aesthetic of liberals and it was deemed woke. So when people say woke, they're referring to the liberal orthodoxy. And then when we criticize wokeness, there's an illogical adherence to these ideas that make no sense.

Hence, when I mentioned that movie earlier, Blink Twice, and the woman says, we can't call the police because white men won't believe women. And we scream, believe women, but they won't listen to us. You go, that's not correct. That is illogical. And you are fervently adhering to the social concepts, the orthodoxy, despite it being false. But don't you think that- Real quick, sorry. This is why Blair White, who is trans,

is not woke despite being transgender. That's critical gender theory. Jimmy Dore, a socialist, is not woke. But what do you mean? He adheres to critical theory because they defy the orthodoxy. But so I would argue that the Jaguar commercial is evidence of critical theory because they defy the orthodoxy. But so I would argue that the Jaguar commercial is evidence of critical theory in that it takes all the archetypal ads for cars, you know, guys driving big engines and fast car

and the vroom vroom. But that's it. They break down all those paradigms. So it's not the archetypal commercial. It's a critique of the archetype. So that is critical theory. A good majority of car commercials are moms driving and pressing their brakes down. What about lack of rock?

That's some cars. It's not an archetype. You're talking about— Jag is like a cool, fast— There's no argument made in the commercial. No one politically states anything about oppression or anything. It was literally just people dressed in a liberal aesthetic.

I think woke orthodoxy is different because it was not clearly defined a few years ago because it was an ever-evolving idea. It's the NPC switching out. Now it's Ukraine. Now it's that. So the orthodoxy was a living breathing embodiment, but now it's become so identifiable because now it is orthodox.

There is a set product of images that we see we say oh that's woke that's woke that's woke jaguar commercial yes you look at and say that's woke that that's because it's the current cultural aesthetic and so it does change you are right the nbc switching out the chip for the next chip that's why there's no it makes no sense when hasan piker says we have to support ukraine but then he goes the military industrial complex is bad. You're like, I know because he's saying whatever. That's where Cenk actually made that the flip the flip from Hassan. You know, it's because woke people say whatever has to be said to align with woke, despite it's being it's being illogical.

So, again, Blair White trans, but not woke. But that's critical gender theory. Jimmy Dore, critical, critical theory itself, but not woke. But that's critical gender theory. Jimmy Dore, critical theory itself, but not woke because both of these individuals challenge the social order of liberals. So anything outside of that order is called far right. So me, it's like I can be a pro-progressive tax along with Steve Bannon. I can be moderately pro-choice, but against abortion at the point of birth, they say I'm far right. Well, I'm certainly not woke, even though I have many liberal views, because woke is when you adhere to them, to their, whatever the chip is in the brain, that's woke. You have to adhere to

whatever they say or you're canceled. And there is an aesthetic to it. There are ideas behind it. There are some ideas that are more common than others. But in the early days of wokeness, intersectionality was a core component. But now they're focused more on critical gender theory. Less identitarian based upon your ethnic boundaries is what you're saying. And it's more based upon gender. On your lifestyle choices. Race is still a component of it. But race has taken a backseat to gender.

The big component of woke is right now is gender theory. Hence, the Jaguar commercial looked very much in line with the non-binary aesthetic. That's why people say it's woke. It's the liberal aesthetic. Okay. I think you get the point. Do you want a hot take? Sure.

We don't know what a woman is in the modern context. Liberals don't. No. We don't know what a woman is in the modern context because liberals don't no we don't because women in the modern world have uh you know you have all these different waves of feminism and you have all these women who are my age who are you know 30 mid-30s and they've been sold a lie on okay i have to live you, I have to go work really hard, be a boss girl, and then at the sacrifice of the physiological clock that they have. So now there's a backlash against that where young people are realizing that they have to rearrange their priorities, and we don't really know what a woman's role is per se in america today well i i get what you're trying to say but i don't think it's fair to say we because as americans the average american

would say it is like a homemaker i don't think the average american would say that that a woman's role is yeah i'm talking about us here we say say we. America has destroyed the role, the feminine gender role. So here's the thing. They say they want to get rid of gender roles. You can't. There is the masculine role and there is the feminine role. They exist. They will always exist.

You can erase one of them, but simply putting shoehorning women into the masculine role doesn't change the fact that it's the traditional masculine role. Yeah. So go back 50,000 years. there's a masculine and a feminine role today telling women to be a ceo is just saying for them to act like a dude yeah yeah it's not it's not eliminating oh but that's that's exactly my point which is that we're now realizing how big of a lie that was, was like, Oh, you know, if you wear pantsuits, you know, you're going to be happy. Right.

Or if you, whatever, like spend 20 years worth toiling away to law firm, then that's going to make you, that's the, that's the reward. Landman. Yeah.

Yeah. I love that show. Just Billy Bob Thornton, just rolling his eyes. Like what's his, I forgot the character played by Allie Larder, but she's like my job younger one or the uh his ex-wife his current wife yeah and she's like my job is to keep my man happy so that it gives me money to buy stuff and she's like so she goes to the gym she works out she's like we're building butts and she's like i'm gonna make my

man happy like that's very much antithetical to what modern, the modern American, you know, would say is the woman's role, but like, well tell her, yeah. Sheridan does tap in on that.

And he's really good at that. Like that whole show is just like, you know, Billy Bob represents kind of like, you know, the, the American who's not in step with all of the modern times. It's a good show.

And his daughter's like, I turned off the show though. And his daughter's like, I turn off the show though after his daughter was like, I'm going to go sleep with my daddy. When she said that to her with her boyfriend in like the second episode, she like gets mad at her boyfriend. She's like, I'm going to sleep with my daddy. She goes, jumps in.

And the bad news for all of you is that we did not sell to Jews.

And so that means we do need money because we are not being bankrolled. Despite the fact that people ran with that lie, then got mad at me because it was my responsibility to come out and debunk the lie. Man, I got to tell you. And then we launched a Casper franchising. We have dozens, dozens of people who want to open their own Casper locations. And people are mad that I'm like, I had an announcement on the January 1st. Like, bro, we've been working on this thing for like a year. We built out this whole plan for like how to run the coffee shops, what they're going to look like, how we're going to assist, what the money gets.

Andrew Gruhl is amazing. He's leading the charge on this one. I love Jeff Gruhl. He's amazing. And we're super excited to be working with him on this because he's the expert. And we did all this hard work and we couldn't legally say anything.

I was like, we can't talk about it. On the first, we have a big announcement. And all of these crazy people who think the Jews are in charge of everything are like Tim's owned by Jews and blah, blah, blah. They're nuts. And I'm just like, yo, you people are crazy coffee cabal the coffee i want to tell you guys i hope all of those people who believe that insanity and it's funny too because

they're tweeting at me and i'm like guys on timcast irel i said it was 100 fake i mean there were legitimate reporters who were yes insinuating that kind of stuff um they're they're are there legitimate reporters on simcast irel, I said it is not true. And then on the members only, I said 100% false. And people are like, why didn't you tell us it was fake? It's like, bro, you guys went nuts. And I said on my show it was not true. So the bad news is we don't have the Jew money.

Okay? Because we didn't sell to. And it's funny, too, because Daily Wire is not even owned by Jews. Like one guy is Jewish. But maybe we have your money. You go to TimCast.com, you become a member. How about that? Alright, here we go. Shane H. Wilder says, welcome back. It's 2025.

Let's do this. It's great to have you back. I'm glad Raymond still has all of his limbs for now. And a shout out to Pop Culture Crisis who reached 300,000 subs on New Year's Eve. Holy crap. Pop Culture Crisis is getting too big. 300,000. Time to sell them to the Jews.

I think we can get PCC to a million. I think we can do it. Yeah. I think we can get him to a million. Absolutely. We're going to do a big marketing blast off for PCC. We'll see. We'll see.

All right. We got Quantum Strange Quarks. A woman was forced to admit that she lost an argument to a man today. Welcome back, Timcast. Oh. There you go. Oh, my God. Savage.

Wow. There we go. Good stuff. All right, let's see. Let's see. Grifus says, welcome back and happy new year. My father passed away this week. If you could find it in your heart to donate to his memorial, we'd be forever grateful.

Give, send, go. Eric Vanneman. Sorry to hear, brother. Sorry to hear. Jason Dixon says, shout out to Adam. Loved you on Roman Nation last night. I was on Roman Nation. They are a gentleman over there.

They were fantastic. Good interview. Lots of good conversation. Open conversation. It was fun. He's a good dude. You know what we need? We need a velvet jacket

cigar and whiskey gentlemanly show. Let me know. There you go. Hosted by Leather Chairs. And a nice lectern. High back leather chairs. Leather bound books. Monologue is from behind a lectern and then you go and you sit down. You pick up the lectern

and then you sit down in the chair. Open with a monologue, two, three minutes. Go ahead and talk about whatever's going on in the day, and then you go over and sit down in the nice leather chairs. What if we make a collapsible lectern that folds into the shape of a suitcase, and then you place it down, and then unfold it, lift it up, and then... And it has like a bump stock? So Kyle Rittenhouse has asked me to build him a lectern.

And I'm building him one. And he is in exchange building me an AR-15. Oh, how fun, how fun. Lots of fun. All right, let's go. Just because I'm free says, Trump shouldn't show up for sentencing. The city of New York is way too dangerous

for Trump to show up in person. The judge and DA should be charged for violation of rights. I agree. I don't think Trump should go. I think Trump should just be like, I'm not going. Yep. What are you going to do about it? Yep. I think this is a moment for DeSantis to be like, yeah, you can't take him. Well, they said they're not going to give him prison. What if that's a trick? Trump shows up and the judge says, you know what? I changed my mind. Five years. Bang. Remand. What's Secret Service going to do?

So if Trump doesn't go and they're like, we're going to put out a warrant for your arrest, and he'd be like, good luck. This isn't a jury trial, right? No, it's a sentencing. He's convicted. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

So the judge, this is the point where anybody in the world with 34 felonies is told you're going to prison. So here's the crazy thing. If they don't give Trump prison time, it shows the emperor's got no clothes. So wait, what you mean to tell me you convicted a guy with 34 felonies, and then you said, we're not going to, no penalty. Just bang the gavel and get out of here. Who's going to believe it's real?

They have no choice but to put Trump in prison. Otherwise, they're just proving they lied about everything. Yes. I'm convinced they will put him in prison. That's basically the last four years in a nutshell. You think they're going to put him in prison? If he shows up, yes. I think he should stay home. The question is...

He lives in West Palm. He should shut the bridge off. The question is, why would they stop here? We talked about this a few months ago. Will they put Trump in prison? And I can't remember what was on the show. They were like, why would they in prison? And I can't remember, it was on the show. They were like, why would they stop here?

And I'm like, that's a good point. Why would this be the one time they say, we're going to let Trump go? Every step of the way. They accused him of being a traitor. How many impeachments

are we going to have this time around? Two? Three? We should check Paul. They don't got Congress. Yeah, it'll be after. And you know, he'll brag about it, too.

I'm the most impeached president. No one's done it like I've done it before. Only if he doesn't get removed from office. I've been saying Teflon Don for 10 years. We got Jason Dixon here who says, Tim, can I get a shout out to Roman Nation? Roman Nation. One of the fastest growing streaming podcasts.

Adam Lectern guy was on it last night. Good guy. Jason, I hope you have checked out our Casper.com franchising section because it would be rad if you were to open the first location. Now, here's what I want to say about all that. People are like your franchising before you even opened yours, because in the process of opening our first location, what we were actually working on was the layout designs, the aesthetic, the colors, sourcing product, all of these things that make a business. So we have the core elements of what the business foundation is, and then we have problems with our location due to it being a historical building.

So the franchising is done, and now we're basically saying we're done with West Virginia on this one, and we're going to probably open in in a different place where we can, we've got all the equipment, everything's ready to go, but they just wouldn't work with us. We've got a preview on like what the layout's going to be. Is there going to be a Beanie logo? Like Gregory's Coffee, but with a beanie? There is not. Not like a Starbucks, like a satanic siren?

No, but we have really cool 3D renderings and drawings and color schemes and all that stuff, and there's really cool designs for this. So if you go to Casper.com, you can click the button and learn all about it. And yeah, there you go. All right. We'll grab some more Super Chats. We already have, I will just say, I don't want to give out the exact number because

I don't know the rules or whatever, but dozens, dozens. What if you had a conversation cafe like they had in the Chaz to talk about politics and stuff? That's kind of the idea. We want to open physical locations so that when you go to Walmart or whatever, some soccer mom is going to Target to pick up a pair of socks. She's like, I'm going to grab a coffee. And then she walks aside, and there in the strip mall is a Casper location. When she walks inside, there's a TV on the wall, and the TV's playing Tim Kess or it's playing Crowder or Viva Fry. And it's on low volume.

But as she's sitting there and she goes, I'll have iced coffee with a little room for cream. As she's standing there, they're making it. She looks over, and there's Crowder being like, the Democrats are doing X, Y, and Z, and the Republicans are doing Y. Like CNN in the airport. You know it's going to be Crowder dressed like a woman. It's like CNN in the airports, 100%. Yeah. It's like a 60% chance of that of that everybody's all buzzed up on

coffee we want this type of show messaging to be in physical spaces all over the place to to get into the real world where people are out shopping and then the people are gonna say cast brew coffee i want a cup of coffee they're not gonna think twice they're gonna walk in they're not gonna hear music and soft whatever playing it's gonna be to be news shows and cultural shows. And that's the plan, man. And the people who are going to open them are people who like this show. And we're going to offer up support. It's like, imagine opening a business and you know you've got marketing. We're going to be shouting you out. I can't say too much because Andrew Gruhl is basically the head of this one. He's like leading the charge. But I want to say, I fully intend to show up to these locations.

I want to do TimCast IRL from these locations, special events, grand openings. We want to have a physical space where people can gather because the founding fathers organized a revolution by meeting in bars and pubs. And chucking tea off of a boat. That was basically it. They threw tea off a boat. They were like, yo, we don't agree with how you're doing these things. Then they said, well, now we're taking your guns. Actually, what they said was, we're going to pass the intolerable acts because you threw our tea over and you won't pay for it.

And they're like, screw you. And then they said, we're coming to occupy. And we're going to occupy. You can't have guns. My cold, dead hands. Then the British were like, so be it. We don't know who fired the first shots at Lexington and Concord, but then everyone started fighting. Then a year and one month later, the founding fathers signed a declaration of independence.

We were at war for a year before they even declared independence. People need to understand that. All right. Jacob Thomas Hickman says, bet you won't read this one, Tim boy. You're correct. I won't. If you started, if you're a super chip by saying I won't read it, I'll just skip over it. But if he just literally wrote what you wrote, I probably would have read it.

But I'm just kind of over the, but you won't read this one. Is it supposed to trick me into reading it? Thank you for the money, dummy. You could have literally just posted a super chat. Hey, don't hate on the super chat. Yeah, no, he gave a good amount of money. I'll read your super chat. He gave 50 bucks.

Read the super chat. 50 bucks? Read that super chat. Trump lied about the infamous life-saving immigration graph. Pull it up and check the red arrow at the bottom. It points to January 2020 instead of 2021.

This shows a massive spike in illegals. I don't respect the first sentence there, but I do appreciate the super chat, so I did read it for you. There you go, buddy.

All right, Jacob Paulie says, I'm tired of the big corporations already hoping to ship to our side. I don't trust them at all. We need some good legislation against corporation. Maybe a little bit of progressivism, Phil. MAGAism. We need Huey Longback. Let me tell you, this was always going to happen. They're flipping over because they knew they were on the wrong side of history. I predicted this. I told you that people we don't like and trust are going to jump ship in two seconds and they realize they lost what we need. Instead of going, oh, man, Facebook, oh, they're figuring it out.

We just say, nah, we're going to be on X. Instead of saying like, oh, did Starbucks finally change their tune? Nah, nah, we're going to Casper Coffee. Black Rifle has coffee locations as well. But I know a lot of people don't like Black Rifle over the whole Kyle Rittenhouse thing. But I got no beef. I don't know. What do you guys think about that one?

I think a lot of that was overblown and blown out of proportion and misrepresented. Yeah, I don't know why the coffee is so political in that respect. Because Kyle Rittenhouse is wearing a Black Rifle shirt. They denounced him and said, we have nothing to do with him. Yeah, and Kyle's cool with those guys now, if I understand correctly. They hung out and talked about it. So there's a lot of people that are still cranky in the pants about it. It's election season.

I think a lot of people were just high energy and low tolerance. And if you're not a part of us, then you're against us. Kyle's a good kid. He went through a lot yeah he did and i don't think that we should expect anything from other than we're sorry we're there for you more like this this kid went through yep the mud drag through it yeah in fact i think it was largely conservatives who used him um for their own personal gain and he had some people in his corner after the trial that you know wanted to use him to grab some of the limelight and i mean he's 17 18 years old he's 18 years old when he's got some good advocates now um ak guy uh brandon cody don't operator they're they're good. I fully think they're trying to help him, bring him under his wing, but

I was out there hanging out with him. He did. He lost a bunch of weight. But I think he's doing really well. Good for him. Yeah, he said being fat is a choice. Is that what he said? And then he posted him when he was fat and him when he was fit. Yep. Very based.

Yep, you can do it. I believe in all of you. I challenge Phil because Phil tweeted the calories in, calories out thing. And it's true, but the issue I take with it is your average person counts calories and doesn't understand

why they're getting fat. And it's because one, I mean, those things are widely inaccurate. Casey Neistat had a great video where he actually went around buying things from stores, brought them to a lab where they broke them down and actually measured the calories, and it was way crazier. Subway actually was really good. It was very low.

And so what happens is, I've seen so many people, they're like, I'm counting my calories, and I'm at 1,700 for the day, and I'm gaining weight. It's like, what are your calories? They're like, I need a lot of macaroni and cheese. And it's like, okay, so calories? They're like, I need a lot of macaroni and cheese. And it's like, okay, so you're tired and you're sitting around all day. It's like, dude, counting calories doesn't cut it.

You can, you can, people don't know what their baseline calorie use is either. Right. And so all they do is they, but it's not even that. It's like, you know, I think Neil deGrasse Tyson did this thing where he's like, all that matters is that you consume less calories than you put out and it's like no because if you're not eating protein you see that you see that woman who was a fruitarian who died recently these macros had to be converted to something so it's sorry go ahead no there's this this viral story about a woman who was a fruitarian vegan for 20 years and she looks like she weighs 100 pounds soaking wet.

And her arms are skeletons, and she's like, I only eat fruit. She's malnourished. Yeah, horribly malnourished. So, if you eat 2,000 calories of just carbs, and no... I'll tell you this, if you don't have any fat, you die. It's called rabbit starvation. So when they say all that matters is calories in, calories out, and all these people are doing this

low-fat stuff. So when Venezuela was like, everybody breed rabbits because you're starving. It's called rabbit starvation because rabbit fat content is so low, you don't get enough fat in your diet, you die. You need fat. Yep. So it's important to track your macros. And then, like, actually getting your baseline metabolic rate is not something the average person can do. Nope.

So really the only thing you can do is cut out the excess, stop having dessert, start exercising. Exercising is super important. Breakfast and lunch. I know that people want to say, I'm on this diet or I'm taking this diet or whatever. Getting in cardio, and if you go and burn 500 to

1,000 calories in a day just doing cardio and exercise on top of whatever your normal stuff is then and you try to limit your calories you will lose weight because you you really need to have that exercise in there too and it is a lifestyle i mean my wife and i we bought weighted vests we go for a walk every night it's a chance to connect it's like a three-quarter mile walk but we're walking around we're burning calories and we're chit-chatting like there's a way to make this a positive thing as well so i honestly turn too that's a good workout i think

walking is everything i think it's really that simple walking uh people you know i keep seeing all these things about like japan eats this and you know india eats this and germany eats this and i'm like yeah but we should actually measure how much people walk in the united states people don't walk it's like wally or wally you know the guys in the floating chairs there was that uh there was that graph where everyone's like around this time people started gaining massive amounts of weight and they were blaming like processed foods on the i was like bro it's the internet once work went remote and social interactions were remote people stopped walking to places to meet and they started just talking online yeah and the uber eats you know you don't

even have to just press a button shows up your door so now people don't even know how to cook the kids i coach in college that they literally don't know how to cook pasta oh dude you you probably like i bet the average person burned 700 calories per day from the daily activities of going to the store and buying something and now they're wondering why they're gaining weight. And they're like, do I eat the same thing? Here's a question too. And people are like, when I'm in Europe and I eat, man, I don't, I don't gain as much weight when I come to the United States. Okay. Fair point on the seed oils and the tartrazine and all that stuff too. But also consider when you're in a foreign country, are you walking to places versus are you sitting down and ordering on DoorDash or something? You're also visiting places. You have an itinerary of going places,

right? I also think maybe porn actually plays a big role in this. You used to go out on the weekends. You would go date. You would find a mate. You go to a bar. You dance, right? You would be active at night. You're finding someone. We have porn now. We sit in our homes. We don't go trying to find those people and also the hanky panky itself burns calories and young men and women ain't doing that so much anymore either nope all right my friends if you haven't already would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this channel more importantly go to timcast.com right now click join us the members only show is going to be about the uk grooming gangs tommy robinson has been covering this for a very long

time the information that's recently come out from the transcripts is so horrifying. You might actually not want to hear it. I'm sorry. But, you know, part of me is like, if this stuff is too extreme, people don't want to be members. Then the company goes under. Nah, this is where we got to take it. Because I think you need to understand the depravity of what the UK was willing to do to pretend that multiculturalism worked. Let me tell you something.

I got no problem with immigrants. Someone from India wants to come and assimilate into our culture. They want to come and they want to bring spices and food and games from their culture. It's totally fine. But this idea presented by the left of multiculturalism is that American culture sits side by side with insert foreign country. They clearly don't get along. What we end up seeing is in the UK, these grooming gangs and the systematic abuse and cover up by the government to defend the idea of multiculturalism. And it is it is horrifying.
