I'm here to tell you about a new series we're running this September on 10% Happier.

Starting point is 00:01:35 Come join the party. Donald Trump is alive. Wow. While I'd been out, I had heard over and over again from liberals that Trump had died. It was trending, and they said, where is he? They were posting pictures of him claiming he was sick, and he's completely fine. everything looks normal. And I'm going to give you guys the truth. It was Labor Day weekend. That's it. Trump was probably just like it's Labor Day. I'm going to hang up my family.
Starting point is 00:02:06 And then because without Trump, they have nothing to say. They have no political ideology. They have no goals other than Trump is bad. The only thing they could muster up to get clicks on the internet was that Trump must be dead. Otherwise, where would he go? They can't live without him. Okay, well, that was all fake news and it was hilarious. But the big news is that Trump has announced, he was asked, and he says, he's going to be sending in feds or the National Guard specifically is what he's asked about into Chicago and Baltimore. And the governor of Illinois and the mayor are losing their minds. I, as all of you know, I'm from the south side of Chicago. And I say, please, Trump, thank you, get it done. Because no young person in this country should have to grow up in a city where
Starting point is 00:02:45 their friends witness corpses being dragged through alleys, where they get randomly shot at and where their friends are forced to join gangs by murdering people. But that's Chicago. And we can talk all about it. Other than that, there is a bunch of other really big news. 33 some odd thousand Epstein files have been released. And we don't know exactly what's in them yet because they just got dropped. But a lot of people are saying, yeah, been there, done that. Nothing new is in these documents. So we're going to talk about that and more. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have returned. For those that are wondering where I was, it's funny, all the conspiracy theories. The most offensive ones are that I was on vacation. I was the most offensive because as I explained to
Starting point is 00:03:25 my friends, my ego is the size of this building. And being unable to talk for three weeks, I was the embodiment of that meme of the kid in the school shaking with veins popping out of his skull. No, I, over the past several weeks, as I actually had explained on the show when I was getting sick, I'm like, man, I'm getting sick and I keep working and I wouldn't stop. And so it got worse and worse until I got so sick I ended up in the ER. And my throat was extremely swollen with viral pharyngitis, which after about a week abated and then my throat was tore up and I couldn't really talk without mass like serious discomfort. They gave me metopredness alone, which I hated and didn't want to take. And they said take ibuprofen and I'm like, I can't do this. I wasn't
Starting point is 00:04:08 able to work. So I worked on other things, but here we are. I have returned. Let's get to the news. Before we do, my friends, we've got a great sponsor. It is Beam Dream.

Introduce yourself. Tim, great to be with you, man. Josh Hammer here, first time here in the studio. So it's really a pleasure.
Starting point is 00:06:37 In town for NACCON, the National Conservatives Conference, taking part over in D.C. It's off to a great start. I'm speaking tomorrow morning, but for now, Tim, just trying to crush these next couple hours with you, my friend. Right on, thanks for hanging out. Producer Tate's hanging out. What's up, guys?
Starting point is 00:06:51 Tate Brown here. I'm not doing it a lot, imitation, with the suit. I was at NACCON as well. So we're doing some coverage on Tim Kess News. If you want to see what's going on over there, obviously Josh will be speaking tomorrow. So if we're lucky, maybe we'll get an interview. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:03 We'll see what happens, but yeah. Hello, everybody. My name is Philibonti. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Let's get into it. Here's a story from Reuters, my friends. We are going in.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Trump to send National Guard troops to Chicago, and I say, thank you, Mr. President. President Trump said on Tuesday he would deploy National Guard troops to fight crime in Chicago, an extraordinary effort to militarize the country's third largest city that was likely to trigger a legal battle with local officials. We're going in. I didn't say when, but we're going in. Trump told reporters at the White House. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson swiftly condemned the action, quote, He just wants his own secret police force that will do publicity stunts whenever his poll numbers are sinking, whenever his jobs report shows a stagnating economy, whenever he needs another distraction from his failures. Hours earlier, a federal judge blocked the Trump admin, from using military to fight crime in California, a ruling that does not apply to other states.
Starting point is 00:08:00 But the judge said the Trump stated desire to send troops to Chicago and other cities provided support for his ruling. Now, we also have this from the AP. Trump says he will order federal intervention in Chicago and Baltimore, despite local opposition. Now, this is what I just, I just can't stand, okay? Local opposition. What does that really mean? Well, I grew up in Chicago. I grew up on the south side of Chicago. My friends and I have witnessed gang violence. I remember, I remember this so vividly, my friend talking to me on the phone saying, wait, hold on, dude, there's two people dragging a corpse through the alley right now. now. The next day on the news, dead body found him a dumpster. And we were like, wow, the hot dog shop, one block away from where I grew up, had bulletproof windows with bullet holes in them
Starting point is 00:08:47 from being shot at. And it's kind of crazy because you grow up like that and you're like, this is just the way things are, I guess. And then you get older and you realize it's actually not, and it doesn't need to be that way. But the funny thing about the crime in Chicago and the gang violence and all that stuff is that they also have police corruption. One of my favorite stories out of Chicago was a meter maid, gave a parking ticket to a cop because he parked illegally because he thought he could. And the cop came out of the bar where he was drinking, grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall. There's also another story where a bunch of cops beat the crap out of a bartender. So you have a state where a bunch of the governors went to
Starting point is 00:09:22 prison, where the police have been accused of operating what are called black sites, where they arrest people and detain them for days on end and torture them. You've got the famous stories I was out of Chicago where, what was that guy's name? He would cattle prod people. You know what I'm talking about? No, I have no idea who that guy was. Man, what's that guy? I forgets that guy's that guy's name.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Chicago Police? Yeah, electrocuted people. Everybody knows that story. That was Chicago, right? What is this? You know what I got to do? I got to ask the robot. Who was the cop?
Starting point is 00:09:54 John Berg in the 80s. Is it Burge? Berg, B-U-R-G-E. Yeah, that was Chicago, right? Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we know all about it. man, talk about a corrupt city.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And so when Donald Trump is like, man, this is not how things should be, I'm like, that's great, fantastic. I got to tell you, where I grew up, if we had National Guard, it'd have been fantastic. What did we do? My friends and I wrote around on our skateboards to the park, and that's about it. It's all we did. And the gangbangers shot at each other. And we get robbed and things like that.
Starting point is 00:10:23 And the police would never do anything about it. So personally, I think this is fantastic. However, you take a look at the leadership, and there is something to be said for, I left. A lot of people would say, Tim, you should have stayed to fight to make your city better. But, you know, my attitude was kind of like, that's like asking someone to knock down a skyscraper with a ball peen hammer. Just not much I can do about it. Now, Donald Trump, the president, sending in the troops, I think would be great. And I think crime will get cut in half or better. But for political reasons, anything Trump does ever is wrong. And to give you an example, for some reason, the left defended cracker barrel.
Starting point is 00:11:00 I don't know why it's just a miserable decision but outside of that what do you guys think should we send in the troops 19 what do we got 17 other cities the policing works right if you have police on the street it disincentivize
Starting point is 00:11:14 it disincentivizes people to commit crimes and then you have less crime in your city it's working in D.C. It will likely work in other cities whether or not there will be constitutional you know fights on the grounds of constitutionality probably But, I mean, if the people want it, then I think that Trump will actually be able to do it.

If you don't have popular support, then the president, it doesn't matter if the president's doing something legal or not, he'll get so much pushback, he'll be almost, he'll almost have to stop doing things.
Starting point is 00:12:49 This is like, have you guys seen Landman? I know what it is. I have to. That show is great. I've heard that. So awesome. Billy Bob's fantastic. Maybe not in the real.
Starting point is 00:12:59 I don't know. politics, but in the show he's good. And they have these oil fields where cartels are basically running through this land. And so they go to the government. They say, hey, look, do some training drills here. We don't actually want the military to enforce law or go out to the cartels, but just by being there, you deter them. This is what Trump is talking about the National Guard. These guys, the National Guard, they're not going to arrest people. They're not going to issue tickets. They're literally going to stand there, probably staring at the wall. But gangbangers are going to have a real hard time committing crimes in the presence of armed National Guard.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Yeah, so two things. So, you know, one is your point is actually really well taken, which is, it was actually a native son of Illinois. I mean, it was Lincoln himself, who famously said, I'm paraphrasing here, I'm probably going to butcher it. But with public opinion, anything is possible. Without public opinion, you know, nothing will work. So, I mean, this is it. I mean, this is, this is what I call the art of the 80-20 issue for Donald Trump. I mean, Donald Trump is a genius. He is a master at putting Democrats, the left, you know, in this case, you know, Mayor Johnson, who's such a, you know, far-left loombag that, you know, that he makes Lori Lightfoot look like a freaking moderate. I mean, I didn't think that was even possible. But this guy, Brendan Johnson, somehow finds a way to do it.
Starting point is 00:14:14 You know, whether, I mean, you know, forcing him and J.B. Pritzker to oppose sending in some sort of federal help. I mean, just for context, Chicago's murder rate is 22 murders per 100,000 people. So New York City right now is about five. so literally less than 25% to that. Washington, D.C. is actually not a whole lot higher than New York City, believe or not. So Chicago is the bloodiest American city, bar none. I lived there for a few years, Tim.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I went to law school there. I know you're a native son of Chicago. It's gotten a hell of a lot worse, actually, just since I graduated. I graduated law school there in 2016, so that's nine years ago now. We've been back a handful of time since then. My now wife, when we were dating, she was my girlfriend. I took her to Chicago for the very first time. She had her purse stolen in broad daylight.
Starting point is 00:14:58 in Streeterville. Streeterville. This is like a nice neighborhood down down. But just so you understand, that's where the crime happens. Yes. Always. Yes. Look, to be honest,
Starting point is 00:15:09 guy from my neighbor on the South Side ain't going to be robbing me. We're both poor. Now we're going to go to Streeterville, dude. Not fair enough. So, you know, it's the wealthier areas where people show up and do the muggings. And because in these like uppity neighborhoods, these wealthy-do liberals, either are going to pull the, oh, you poor person. you just don't know better, or they're going to be like, oh, I'm so scared.
Starting point is 00:15:31 You don't want to go to a white working class area in Chicago, like, you know, on the South Side near, like, Sox Park or whatever, and mess around with those Irish dudes. Let me tell you, man, during the No-NATO protest in 2012, all these leftists were marching through Chicago. And Southside Irish, when they started marching through the neighborhood of these white working class people, they beat the crap out of the Antifa guys. And the leftists were like, they were really confused as to what. white working class Chicagoans and the south side were beating
Starting point is 00:16:00 the crap out of them but they were so that's why they typically stay out of these neighborhoods but look gangbangers don't rob other gangbangers
Starting point is 00:16:09 in their own neighborhoods they go to wealthier areas well I think like Trump's tapping into something that a lot of Americans feel which is they're really
Starting point is 00:16:17 frustrated of being pushed out to the suburbs and not having access to like 80% of their city like I grew up in Memphis I grew up in like a leafy suburb so it's fine but like 80% of the city
Starting point is 00:16:26 is completely off limits and it's super depressing because you look around the rest of the developed world or you look at places like Tokyo and you can live anywhere you want if you're a young person you have access to cheap housing where like I said in the United States yeah more than more than at least more than half of your city is going to be completely unlivable I'm at Trump's tapping into that well you know it's going to be interesting I'm curious how much of what Trump is doing actually has to do with population decline so if you think about what happened to Detroit when the This is not necessarily population decline. Detroit lost residents because industry had left. But then you see poverty, crime, and other problems start to emerge. I'm wondering how much of what Trump is doing with Send to the National Guard is to try and create a base, like a foundation of stability. Because in the next 10 years, it is going to get increasingly worse with population decline and infrastructure collapse due to a lack of a labor market. Human capital.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah, exactly, exactly. So, one of the largest consumer bases, the boomers are dying. They're now at the mortality cliff. Gen Alpha's tiny and Gen Z can't work. You saw that report that said Gen Z brings their parents with them to job interviews? Unreal. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:43 I did see that. Yeah, Tate brought both his moms. That's true. Both. You're very hospitable, which I respect. That's really good. Yeah, so if the expectation is that, cities are going to get worse than they are now, I'm wondering if Trump and his admin are looking at this.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I mean, I'd have to say that with someone like Stephen Miller, that guy's smart. And he knows with the immigration stuff we're doing, he's looking at demographic numbers. I guarantee you the Trump admin knows full well. You cannot simultaneously have low fertility and no immigration. Immigration isn't a solution, by the way. It's abandoned and a bullet wound. And so they're saying we can't keep doing that. They also realize we have a fertility crisis 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:18:28 So I think they're looking at this and there's something they're preparing for. If they're not, we're cooked. Yeah, I mean, the fact that there is going to be such a problem with, like we said, human capital, like that's a really big issue. And if people don't have a positive outlook on not only their communities, but also law enforcement in general, you're going to have significantly fewer police officers. I mean, I, it's likely, not, I don't know if it's likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if big cities in the future kind of become those dystopias from sci-fi movies from the 80s where you need to have a really militarized police force actually patrolling the streets and just to keep, you know, the population safe or in, keep them kind of subdued, you know? I think 2030 is going to be wild.
Starting point is 00:19:20 and for about five years it's going to be nuts in this country. How so? So we've got the fourth turning. You know, Straussout generational theory. I'm going to throw this bothering me. You want to rotate that that way? No, other way, other way.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Oh. Yeah. I'm just getting my OCDM. Strauss out generational theory predicts that 2028 is supposed to be the year of the great crisis. So as the story goes, every 80 years, there is a turning,
Starting point is 00:19:48 a fourth turning. So 80 years ago, of course, you know, what did we have? World War II? The World Wars. I mean, some people make the argument that they were functionally the same wars because, like, World War II was the result of World War I. Eight years before that? Civil War, no.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Yes, 80 years before that? Revolutioning War. Indeed. And actually, you can keep going. Most of us don't track what happened 80 years before the American Revolution because it's pre-American history. It's sort of, it's like colonial history, but there actually was a great crisis.
Starting point is 00:20:19 And it actually bifurcates into the UK as well because we had a shared culture in society. So the prediction is something is going to happen here. I'm looking at everything that's going on right now. We've got actual fertility right now. Some have estimated, and maybe this is conspiratorial lunacy, 0.3. When you hear that fertility is at 1.6 or whatever, they're including older people who stopped having kids but had kids. so they're asking people how many kids have you had how many you know and for the fertility rate includes people who are now exiting childbearing years so what does the point three include then
Starting point is 00:20:59 young people so you're supposed to uh it's it's supposed to be 20 year olds people in their 27 kids and the there's some estimates that say gen z fertility is at like point three and some estimate it may be 0.8. And that makes complete sense, if you ask me. But I'll tell you this, there was a really funny meme I saw. And it was a 4chan meme where someone said, hey, my grandpa gave me his PS1. Does anybody have any recommendations for games? The first response is, this has to be rage bait. And they said, my grandfather is 58 years old. He got the PlayStation 1 when he was 28. My dad was 8 years old. My dad had me at 20. I'm 18. But see, the millennials and Gen Z don't have kids. So they're like, no way your grandpa had a PS1, it's like, dude, he's 60. Right. Well, the interesting
Starting point is 00:21:49 thing with the Gen Z millennials not having kids is there's, it's actually really important when you're looking at TFR. There was a Stephen Shaw, he's like a demographic expert, and he broke down, there's actually a difference between total maternity rate and children per mother. So children per mother tracks obviously the average amount of children that a mother has, a mother meaning someone that's had a kid before, and then the total maternal rate. And the TMR's dropped. So like, the amount of women that are having children is completely dropped, but the amount of mothers that have had children is consistent. So women are still having three, two to three children, but there's not as many mothers. There's fewer mothers. When you take into account the fact that there's
Starting point is 00:22:25 fewer people, fewer women overall. Right. But when they decide to have a kid, they still have two to three. So it's not that like they're having less kids overall, if that makes sense. It's that there's just less people deciding. The crisis is marriage essentially. The crisis actually starts earlier. It starts before. It's like, yeah, once they decide to have a child, they're going to have two to three still. That's perfectly fine. That mechanism is still working. And I think this is why stuff like cleaning up cities is because nihilism is just so pervasive that people just don't want to have become others. There's no way to reverse the trend. It's not possible. It's a math problem. If you need, there's various estimates of what the fertility rate needs to be to sustain
Starting point is 00:23:04 a civilization. And it's at least replacement. But it's actually a little bit higher than two. 2.1 is what I hear it usually. And the reason is because sometimes babies die and people don't make it to adulthood. So you need a little bit higher than normal. When you are below that, and I believe we're currently at 1.6, if you're tracking young people who are supposed to be having kids, I've heard estimates from 0.8 to 0.3, and I don't really know for sure, because Gen Z includes people who should not be having kids. Gen Z includes, you know, teenagers who we don't expect to have children. You need, it's exponential. If you have less than two kids, your population shrinks, then to get back to your functioning human capital size required to maintain the infrastructure of the civilization,
Starting point is 00:23:46 you need twice as much. This means that Gen Z needs to have four kids to fix the damage of millennials and Gen Xers, which they're not going to do, and they're not doing. Which means the prediction is the boomers are at the mortality cliff. They're going to start dying faster and faster. The oldest boomers are 79. That is mortality. Within the next five years, we expect there to be a massive, we call the mortality cliff. It's when boomers are going to die. in large numbers. And within five to 10 years, there should be about 20 million boomers left from 65 million. So it's a massive drop-off in the consumer market. Though these individuals normally would be replaced by the next generation at bare minimum, they're not. This means you're not
Starting point is 00:24:25 going to be able to buy strawberries at your grocery store. Your grocery stores are probably going to go out of business. You will have to drive 50 miles to find standard goods, and there's going to be huge lines for it. This is going to create a snowball effect, which creates a massive depression and it's going to take several years to climb out of that depression once people start rebuilding the infrastructure. But that's why I think to go back to the main point, when we're looking at what Trump is doing, I have to assume that his administration is taking into consideration the known fertility crisis alongside the mass deportations. Yeah, I mean, they certainly have to account for it. And like immigration, it won't even be there
Starting point is 00:25:07 forever as a Band-Aid because even across the third world now, their fertility is crashing. Like, India is now below replacement. Wow. Within the last three years, they've dropped below replacement. So all these, like, complex demographic theories on birth rates has, like, all gone out the window when India went below replacement. It's like, oh, it's something completely different. No, even these sub-Saharan African countries that were literally averaging four, five, six
Starting point is 00:25:29 children, they're now, I mean, you know, I'm speaking very broad terms here, but they're down to like three, four, sometimes even two point something now. Molly went from 14 to 7 in like eight years. Yeah, exactly. So it's a global trend. I mean, it's no longer just a first world, highly developed society trend. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And to that point, like, even if you just import people, like people aren't cogs, right? People can't just be like, oh, well, we'll just get more people in here. And the people that will come will be able to do the jobs that we need them to do. Even the Democrats know this. They continuously say, oh, well, who's going to pick the first? who's going to do the mean of labor. That's not really what you want immigration for if you want immigration at all, right?

Starting point is 00:27:05 1-866-531-2-6-00 to speak to an advisor free of charge. BEDMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with EyeGaming, Ontario. The idea that they're generally trying to convey, or at least the argument they're trying to make to people, is we want to get the best and brightest. We want to get the people that really excel. We want the smartest people in the world to come to the U.S. But that's not what's happening, and it hasn't been happening for a long time. Like, there are people that come that are smart, sure.
Starting point is 00:27:34 But the vast majority of the people that are coming to the United States, the immigrants, whether they be illegal or H1BVs, they're not specialized. They're not some kind of super smart group of people. They're just average people from a different country. And if average, a lot of times they're below average, you know. So that's not something that we want to encourage in the United States. So the estimate is 0.6. So I just, I just, I ask Chachapit, take it for what it's worth. This thing's lying all the time.
Starting point is 00:28:05 But I asked it to calculate for Gen Z women who, so it estimates when they do the TFR, the total fertility rate, they do it in age brackets. They do include teen pregnancy, but I'm not going to include that personally because it's not something we're actually actively trying to encourage. Except for later teens, maybe, because that was, you know, more for a while. But going by the ages of 19 to 27, it's 0.6. Wow. Yeah. Troubling stuff. Look, I mean, the other thing about, you know, immigration, I mean, let's kind of not miss the force for the trees here.
Starting point is 00:28:35 I mean, it's a very simple point, but I think it's a pretty important point, which is, I mean, you can immigrate yourself out of a fertility crisis for the very simple reason at some point that some point you cease to be a nation, right? I mean, I mean, this is kind of just kind of as politics one-on-one. I mean, I'm in time to speak of the National Concernism Conference. You know, our whole movement is about what is the nation? I mean, how does a nation preserve itself there? I mean, at some point, if you're literally just actually replacing or attempting to replace entire generation with people. who are not, neither of your culture, nor have a discernible identifiable culture to actually assimilate into. I mean, I just, I'm going to let you know, you're not going to replace
Starting point is 00:29:12 your petroleum engineers with hinder and farmers. Yeah, no, of course not. Of course not. And that's what they've been trying to do, and that's why it doesn't work. Yeah. So what you end up with is an economy has varying degrees of skill requirements. You need, you need low-scale labor. But too much, and everybody suffers. Animal populations, when they reach their, you know, the greatest total, you know, amount per region, they all starve. They all suffer because they're all getting just enough food to survive to keep the population where it is. So if you flood the country with low-skilled labor, everybody's underemployed and struggling to get by, and then you create a buckling welfare system. You actually need a band of, you know, small amount of high-skill labor, a lot of mid-skill labor, a lot of mid-year-old labor,
Starting point is 00:30:01 medium labor. It's a bell curve, basically. And what the Democrats have been trying to do for the past two decades since the financial collapses, just bring in Haitians and Honduran farmers? Well, that'll accelerate your collapse. Yeah, right. Well, it's even in the Republican Party, like, I mean, Bernie famously said, like, Open Borders is a Koch brother's proposal because it's like, it's the GDP brain. That seems to be pernicious on the, not the right, but Republican Party historically, because it's like, yeah, of course, because GDP is just a calculation of the amount of economic activity in your country. So when you flood the country with like, yeah, Hondurans, they're going to be spending
Starting point is 00:30:33 money. And if you just keep like, keep pouring them in, yeah, people are going to spend more money. The GDP will go up. But GDP is not a way to calculate prosperity and calculate my children's well-being. Combine the immigration crisis and now the mass deportations with Gen Z bringing their parents to job interviews. I'm sorry. The luxuries you know today will be gone.
Starting point is 00:30:59 And that's, I'm, none of this political stuff scares me. Donald Trump saying, send him to the troops, I'm like, whatever. Donald Trump saying, we're going to DOJ investigate this person, and Democrats are screaming fascism. Shut up. None of that worries me. The crazy person who believes that I stole his spoons and he's hunting me down, that doesn't scare me.
Starting point is 00:31:17 It looks like high security guards. The tsunami that is approaching us in the next several years is, it's not just about population. It is about skill and culture. Our culture is fragmented. It's fracturing. falling apart, fertility is on the decline, that we're not going to have the labor we need, we're not going to have the skills we need to bring it all back. I wonder if the idea of deploying the National Guard is happening now, not because crime is a problem, but because
Starting point is 00:31:42 Trump knows you're going to need what we would call continuity coordination. So this is presidential directive 51. Are you guys familiar with this? No. It made a video game about it. It's called the division. George W. Bush signed an executive order called National Security Directive 51. National Security Presidential Directive 51 is what it's called. It gives the president the authority to erase the U.S. government and create a new enduring constitutional government, they call it, and appoint a national continuity coordinator. The idea is in the event of catastrophic death, economic collapse, or otherwise, the U.S. government must persist. And so this directive has never been tested in the courts. It's never been
Starting point is 00:32:27 done. But hypothetically, any president has the authority to say, based on a substantial loss of life anywhere in the world, we are effectively erasing the three-branch government, creating a one-branch government, and assigning a continuity coordinator to control all United States jurisdiction. The idea behind it, whether you support it or not, I don't care, by all means, say it's bad, sure. My point is, the federal government has long known in the event of political, governmental, or economic crises and collapse, you need continuity throughout the entire contiguous United States. So when I see a story, granted, I'm sick over the past three weeks,
Starting point is 00:33:03 I can talk about it now, saying they want to deploy to 19 cities National Guard. That sounds more to me like governmental contingencies than any kind of crime stopping. Maybe I'm just crazy. But when I look at what's been going on, I have to imagine the U.S. government, the Trump administration knows what's going to happen in the next several years when you combine fertility crisis along with the immigration crisis. Well, I think it could, I mean, I think a lot of it is just the government seeing how El Salvador's handled their problems and they're like, oh, we can just reciprocate that, replicate that United States and get a similar result. Yeah, that's more or less where I am. I mean, I think a lot of you're saying to make sense, but I mean, law and order crime, this is just a politically winning issue for Donald Trump. I mean, what Democrats have to say on these issues, I mean, look at Mamadne in New York City. I mean, there's this nut job running from Mayor Minneapolis. I mean, all of them down to a T.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I mean, is there a single, is there a single major state of America that's been run by Democratic mayors for the past 40, 50 years that is not exponentially worse off today than it was 50 years ago? I can't think it was a single one. I mean, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Memphis, I mean, like, literally, like, down to a T. Every single one is crime-rittled, you know, violent crime property, crime, drug addled, you know, illegal alien overrun, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So, I mean, he sees a slam dunk of a winning issue. I mean, look, the other thing is, I mean, looking at it from like a historical American perspective there, you know, these battles between the federal government and the states, you know, federalism battles, their local control versus federal government control. I mean, these go back, you know, all the way to, to the beginning. the Republic, obviously. And, you know, Donald Trump is kind of like a strong government guy. So, I mean, I'm not surprised at all that he's doing this. I mean, it's going to get legally tested.
Starting point is 00:34:45 You know, the authority is going to be a little, a little diceier than for Washington, D.C., where he has a unique ability to do so. It's literally the federal district, after all. But the politics here are just a total, total no-brainer. And, you know, I think most of the non-nut job Chicagoans, to the extent that there are that many remaining are going to support this move for sure. And take, look, take polls for what, you know, what you want. Like, some people are really think that they're worthless and that's fine. But poll after poll, these kind of measures are popular because the people that are living with this crime from day to day don't want to live with this crime. They don't want to feel like they're going to have to jump in the bathtub
Starting point is 00:35:23 because there's a shootout outside of their house. They don't want their kids to get shot and in, you know, playing at the park. And that kind of stuff does happen all the time in these big cities was a lot of crime. Let's jump to this story from the Post-Millennial. Tim Walts plays into dead Trump hoax. There will be news sometime. Oh, boy. There's a couple stories related to this. My favorite was this one, actually, the mystery garbage bag. Trump is saying, apparently it's AI. Let me just play the video. We don't need the idea on this. For those that are not watching, it's listening, the video appears to show the White House, a window is open, and it looks like someone hucks a garbage bag out the window.
Starting point is 00:36:04 uh apparently trump was like those those windows are sealed you can't open them so it may be an AI video that was a hoax but what i love about it is this video went viral on these anti-trump forums because they were saying holy crap trump's dead they're they're just they're disposing of the evidence something's wrong they're not telling us the truth and i'm like wow then tim waltz does this thing let me play the video here you get up in the morning and you dooms scroll through things and although I will say this, the last few days you woke up thinking there might be news. Just saying, just saying, there will be news sometimes, just so you know, there will be news. He's saying Trump will be dead.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Now, the crazy thing is, guys, it was Labor Day weekend. We made a bunch of pizzas. We got one of those brick ovens. It's amazing. And we were hanging out. I did a little bit of work in the morning, but there was no live show and there was no IRA. Because it's Labor Day. And so Trump is gone for a few days, and the left starts saying he's dead.
Starting point is 00:37:08 The fact that Tim Walts can go on stage and say, you all saw that, and they know what he's talking about, this is a cult. They are deranged and insane people. A holiday weekend happened where the president was not heard from, and my first response was, what was Labor Day? Well, yeah, but he was missing before. Yeah, I know it's a long weekend. So it's like Friday's around the corner, and he's like, look, I'm just going to hang out. the family, it's labored day, give me a break. And I was like, okay, we all, we all feel that way. Trump's not special in that regard. But they all genuinely believe this psychotic
Starting point is 00:37:39 conspiracy theory. And then when they announced that Trump was going to do a press conference, they started spreading rumors that Trump was announcing his resignation. And then what happens? Trump shows up, sharpest attack, talking about all sorts of stuff, does like a three-hour press conference. Okay, it was actually like, well, like an hour, totally healthy and normal. How do we function as a country when half the population is deranged? they votes well it's like Gavin Newsom like trying to do like a crappy imitation of Trump this is the left doing a crappy imitation of the right
Starting point is 00:38:10 leave the conspiracy theories to us you guys just aren't good at it and universal suffrage yeah yeah the blue anon stuff sorry guys it just feels bootleg cut rate leave it to us did you but this has always been the lie the rights not been conspiratorial they've been analytical well we're right usually indeed that's the difference did you see them all lying and claiming Walter Reed's roads were blocked off. These people are crackpots.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Yeah. Jess Margera. I'm talking to you, buddy. I hope you hear this. It's just nuts, dude. You're blue and non-lunitics. One of the other things... Go out, touch grass. One of the other things that you're starting to see a lot of is people saying, look, J.D. Vance, when he gets into office, he's going to consolidate power and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:38:52 And it blows my mind that people are saying this because it's like, look, if something happens to Donald Trump, right? Like, I'm not hoping for it, but if something does happen, he gets sick or whatever. We have a constitutional process that means that J.D. Vance will take office because he is the vice president. The idea that that's some kind of, some kind of attempt to seize power, it's just totally ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:39:19 And I feel like it goes beyond conspiratorial to be like entirely detached from reality. Just totally don't want to acknowledge that there is a normal process. and J.D. Vance would take office as the president, and that would be perfectly normal. It's happened multiple times in our history. There's nothing unique about it. And still, they continue to act as if, oh, J.D. Vance would be, would take power. And they're trying to set up the idea that J.D. Vance would be worse than Donald Trump because Donald Trump is Hitler. And so J.D. Vance would be super mega Hitler or whatever. You know, they have these like buzzwords, right? I mean, consolidate power. That's one of their favorite ones. I mean, I've spoken to conferences in Budapest,
Starting point is 00:40:00 Hungary multiple times of the past few years. And they love bashing the Prime Minister there, Victor Orban, for what they call democratic backsliding. That's their favorite term of choice for over in Hungary. And I guess you're more broadly is they're setting democracy backwards in murders. I mean, you know, they say the same crap here about President Trump on a day and day of basis as well. Don't you guys remember when Ron DeSantis was briefly in the lead? What the reaction from the left was, the liberals? It was Ron DeSantis is worse than Trump. Right. You don't understand. He's imagined, imagine if Trump was competent. He's going to be so much worse.
Starting point is 00:40:34 And then when DeSantis, of course, lost, it was, no, no, no, Trump's, Trump's been bad the whole time. Who's Ron? And now, J.D. Vance, they're gearing up for the same regurgitated psycho cult garbage. Because they have no substance anymore. The Democrat Party is so torn between the progressives and the, what you'd consider normal Democrats, and they don't know who they are as a party. There was someone that was talking, I forgot who it was, but it was a tweet that I saw, said that AOC, Zoran Mamdani and the rest of the DSA need to leave the Democrat Party because they are dragging them down.
Starting point is 00:41:13 The progressives are really harming normal Democrats. And as long as the progressives are the ones that are setting the policy choices and making the arguments most vocally, they're going to have a problem because the American people have clearly said we do not want that stuff. It's just not true, though. Who was it, who's the Virginia guy? Is it Mark, what's his face? Warner? Was he the guy who's like, I'm going to go save Kilmar, Brago Garcia, or whatever? That was the Maryland guy.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Von Holland, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Recently, let me pull the tweet up. It was a guy in Virginia. And I tweeted out, I'm like, glad I live in West Virginia, not regular Virginia, because regular Virginia is nuts. There's no regular Democrats. You know, the middle of the road Democrats are being like, hey, you know that wife beating MS-13 human smuggler?
Starting point is 00:41:58 Yeah, that's true. I'm like, nah, he not, I get him out of here, and they're like, nah. I'm like, okay, well, I'm not voting for, Tim Walts, he's supposed to represent the regular Democrat. You get rid of AOC, you're worse off. Like, at least AOC will say something like moderately anti-war. Do I want woke light with neoliberal warmongering? No. At least I know what the progressives are trying to do.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Yeah. I don't want either of them, to be honest. But this stuff makes me happy. I mean, I mean, when Tim Wals, I mean, he was their vice presidential candidate. When he plays into this dead Trump porn, and that's what it is. This is just their version of porn, right? I mean, when they play in the, when he's playing the dead Trump horn, when the mayor of Minneapolis is bashing thoughts and prayers within minutes of a horrific shooting there, I mean, you know, who benefits from this insanity? I mean, I mean, not them.
Starting point is 00:42:48 I mean, the only opposition, I mean, that is to say, you know, what I call civilizational sanity. I mean, you want to call the right, that's fine. And I kind of think the whole left-right dichotomy is a little kind of a historical at this point there. I think of it more as just civilizational sanity versus, you know, civilizational arson. But when the arsonists are saying this stuff there, you know, we on team sanity, I mean, we're picking up a trip. We're getting new followers, new voters there, and we're looking good. So I'm not saying it's necessarily a good thing for the country. In theory, you don't want half the country to be totally deranged there.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I'm just saying that I think the solace that I take in the silver lining is that they're not winning anyone over with this. They're winning over no one whatsoever there. And, and, and they're not a good shape as it is. I mean, even the New York Times have this long form piece talking about how the 2030 electoral college, the census, it's going to be a bloodbath for them. Everyone's fleeing the blue states. They're fleeing the Illinois, the Connecticut, the New York's there. Where are they going? They're going to the red states, Florida, Texas, Carolinas, Georgia, Arizona, you name it there. So the trend is very much already on his way. It was Mark Warner. He said this afternoon afternoon I visited Kilmar-Oberger Garcia and other detainees, the Farmville Detention Center,
Starting point is 00:43:51 delivered letters from his family. He wants to keep fighting for justice. He wants to keep fighting for justice. Imagine how emotional he was. He wants to keep fighting for justice. Me too. Me too. And that would be send him back. Anyway. Wait a man.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Some of the allocations. I wouldn't call that justice, but. I know this. They wrongfully moved him to El Salvador. Oh, my God. There's no saying Democrats. Like, he was a moderate. You're totally right.
Starting point is 00:44:16 To your point, he's not. I got your saying. He was, though. He was running in effectively a swing state. Part of the reason why there's no saying Democrats is because they don't actually have a leader. If they had a leader, if there were someone that were a quote unquote sane Democrat that stepped up
Starting point is 00:44:30 that actually could lead the party and had the charisma and the political you know, the political chops to do that, they would fall in line. But this is because he's floundering because the whole party's floundering. He's not sure where to go. He doesn't know if this is the right thing to do or not. So he's
Starting point is 00:44:46 doing what he thinks is the best thing for his future electoral, you know, possibilities. But if there was someone that were to speak well and came up and said, okay, this is what the party should be doing that was a actual good leader. They could lead the party in a direction
Starting point is 00:45:04 that would get them, you know, that would get them the votes that they need. But there's no one that can do that right now. They tried. So the cracker barrel thing happens, right? And I'm lying on my couch watching Fox News. Just, you know, listen to that sweet, sweet Jesse Waters, tell me stories all night.
Starting point is 00:45:21 And the Democrats put out this tweet where they were like, it's the meme of the guy standing up, you know, making his pronunciation, his enunciation. And it said, we too think the Cracker Barrel rebrand is bad. And I was like, look, the Democratic Party is healing. They're realizing that the strategy of anything you think is, anything you do is bad. That strategy doesn't work. And so when people were like, the Cracker Barrel rebrand is a bad thing, the Democrat Twitter said, we agree. but within only a few hours all the known faces and actors
Starting point is 00:45:57 liberals came out and said you're just bigots and you know you think Cracker Barrel blah blah blah and they made memes of like Confederate flags and swastikas and it's like guys Cracker Barrel I'm watching out of a secret I know I've been on this Ben of the past month
Starting point is 00:46:13 about population the reason why Cracker Barrow rebranded is because of population collapse 100%. They rebranded and the liberals defend the rebrand even though it was a clear and obvious mistake because anything the right likes, they must oppose. But for the brief moment, I'll find the tweet.
Starting point is 00:46:32 They actually were in agreement. Wait, sorry, how does it have to do with population? The Cracker Barrel's was struggle. Their numbers were bad. Their sales were down. And I've heard a couple different stories. I could be wrong about this, but this is somewhat ancillary, but I heard the original CEO got fired because of a lack of sales.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I don't know if that's true. One thing is true is that the revenue was decreasing. And this wasn't just growth where they're trying to establish new locations. This was existing locations we're seeing revenue decline. At least this is my understanding of the story. So they're bringing the CEO and they ask the question like, why are we losing money? And they try to figure it out. And so the assessment is, look, people just want a booth and they want sugar-covered cinnamon swirl dessert pancakes.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Okay? They don't care for hokey, you know, knick-knack. on the wall and then in a little store with all the knickknacks to buy. They just want sugar donut swirl double glazed pancakes. So they said, okay, simplify. Get rid of the theme stuff, cut the cost down, reduce our footprint, and give the people what they want. And it got worse. The reason why sales are going down is because people don't bring their families out to dinner anymore. Ten years ago, you had more families. You have substantially less families now. So when a couple goes to get breakfast, it is a man and a woman sitting down at a table
Starting point is 00:47:49 for four ordering two orders of sugar-glazed garbage pancakes. Ten years ago, it was four people, two kids getting a short stack of sugar-glazed garbage pancakes with their parents, and their parents were spending a little bit more. Revenue is going down because people don't feed their kids anymore. People have talked about why did Pizza Hut turn into a strip mall from the family location? Because people don't have kids anymore. Why did the McDonald's play place go away? And now McDonald's is a brutalist cube. because people don't have kids anymore. So this population collapse results in Cracker Barrel losing money, forcing the rebrand.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Everybody says it's garbage. They try and backtrack, but their revenue will still go down. So anyway, long story short, the Democrats have no idea how to adapt to this. The only thing they have is if the Wright likes it, it's bad. And there's no recovery. Let me try and find that tweet from the Democrats. Because they were agreeing for a second. And, yep, that was easy.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Took me two seconds. This is it right here. At the Democrats tweeted, we think the Cracker Barrel rebrand sucks too. And they got a ton of retweets for it. Bipartisanhip 2025. I quote, tweet it and said at last, unity. And then what happened?
Starting point is 00:49:05 The next day, all of your familiar faces, all of the prominent liberals were like, Cracker Barrel should rebrand because they're racist. Yeah. Democrats tried. They tried. This is the way you win. This is how the Democrats win.
Starting point is 00:49:19 again. They start acting like Joe Rogan and stop acting like weird woke lefty activists. Yeah, I mean, but it's like part of the problem with the Democrats is that they do adopt the aesthetics of Middle America sometimes without actually implementing the policies that would benefit Middle America. Like a great example was during the Kamala Walt's campaign, they had these camo hats with the orange text on it. They're like, see, look at us. It's like a best pro shops for one of you guys. And then their policies would like eviscerate like Middle America. Yeah, but I mean, that that was always very fake and very clearly fake. Like, nobody was buying it.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Nobody buys that Tim Walts is an avid hunter or that he's a gun guy or that Kamala Harris has a Glock or that any of them are pro-second amendment or any of the garbage they try to try to... You remember Tim Walts trying to hold that shotgun? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it was, it was the whole, like, you know, three from Unglorious Bastards, right?
Starting point is 00:50:13 Like, this is the German three. He's like, oh, you know. This is the one, is it, was it this? This is the German three. Oh, okay. Yeah, this is English. Yeah, but that's the point. I'm not a German.
Starting point is 00:50:24 I love that meme. It's like how you know someone's not really part of your subculture. It shows them going like this. It's the same thing. It's super super transparently BS, you know. And when they do try to go and say, hey, we actually, you know, we actually want to try and attract young men and attract middle America, they can't help but do things that automatically. put them off. They've been telling young white guys that they're the devil for the better part of 20 years. Before we go to the next story, I do want to read this one quick super chat. Lewis Rodriguez
Starting point is 00:50:56 says civil war is out population collapse. No. Population collapse is a fact. What happens in that population collapse? We don't exactly know, but we know for a fact it's happening because we can actually track the fertility numbers. Civil war, on the other hand, is there's some kind of political turmoil happening, but they're both going to happen. Hope you're preparing. I don't know what Civil War would look like if it does happen, but when infrastructure and resources crumble and collapse, you will get fighting. Trump is deploying the National Guard to U.S. cities. This is another escalation. And I'm going to say, I predicted it. Let's jump to this story, though, talking about cultural bifurcation.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Woke NBC issues apology for misgendering Minneapolis child killer. Yeah, let me say that for you again from the Daily Mail. woke NBC issues apology for misgendering Minneapolis child killer. Now, let's get to the brass tax on this one and clarify. I had tweeted this morning that NBC News apologizes to the shooter for misgendering them, and the headline from Mediite says issues correction, to which liberals went, this is why nobody likes mega. It was a correction, not an apology.
Starting point is 00:52:10 My response, when you intentionally lie to a religious person who's three, threatening you? Do we call that a correction? Sure, with air quotes, maybe. Yes, I'm correcting my behavior. I call it an act of contrition. So here's what happened. NBC News wrote about the child killer and said, he, him. Later issued a correction on the article saying the shooter used her pronouns and changed the article to say she, her. The New York Times did the same. Now, this individual also wrote in Cyrillic, according to the New York Post, that they did not want to be trans. Therefore, there are he him. So what's happening is NBC. is apologizing to an ideology by issue in an act of contrition, please forgive us. We use the wrong
Starting point is 00:52:55 pronoun. If they were actually correcting the record, they'd say, this is a male. He did this thing. So my argument is intentionally injecting fake information into an article to appease an ideological faction is an act of contrition, otherwise colloquially known as an apology. I mean, that's what it was. Oh, what does it mean for us as a society that we have a prominent, I mean, NBC is one of the classic prominent media enterprise of the United States, and they're doing this. I mean, you still have a problem, like, a lot of these news agencies, even though the culture of the United States has shifted right in the last three years, is the reality, and even across the political spectrum, is all these newsrooms, they're PAs, they're still activists fundamentally. like a lot of these kids are still activists and unfortunately the way that media works mass media as it attracts a lot of former reform theater kids who are still ultimately activists at the end of the day
Starting point is 00:53:52 and they're the ones that are in control of press releases like this i mean i would i obviously agree with that but i would take it probably even further maybe which is look you know if you're writing like a local article if you're in like a very liberal jurisdiction okay you're like san francisco whatever and some local transgender person thinks it's a boy you thinks it's a girl vice versa there and you're a lefty public case. You want to apologize, fine. But let's not let's not miss the force for the trees here. This is a murderer. This is like a rampage mass murderer. I mean, this is demonic, satanic evil in our midst. I mean, we should not be, not only should we not be apologizing for this. And we should be deliberately spitting in this
Starting point is 00:54:35 person's memory and like trying to condemn anything that this individual male, female, boy girl, Who gives? Who the hell cares? I mean, this is demonic, satanic evil that we should smite out. May the memory be erased forever and ever. The notion we're going to is somehow apologize to what, to the parents, to the quote-unquote transgender community. Who's offended by it? Yeah. The gender dysphoria community is offended that a mass murderer person when gender dysphoria? I mean, it doesn't make it make sense.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I don't think the person even actually was trans. The reporting was that they regretted it, yeah. Yeah, it was, and right. So, former trans, I guess. I don't know. Anti-Trump? Like, didn't Rosie O'Donnell say that it was a MAGA person? I don't pay any attention to Rosie O'Donnell.
Starting point is 00:55:24 I have no idea. What do you mean? I follow her musings every day, her gentle musings. Maybe I should. For a good laugh. But to your point, Josh, like the left can't help but do things that are essentially what normal people consider evil, right? They can't help but take the bad guy's side. They were taking the bad guy's side during all the BLM riots. They were on the side of the people that were
Starting point is 00:55:51 literally rioting. The vice president was sending out messages for a GoFundMe to get people that had been arrested, get them bail money. Bro. They made the orcs good guys. Yeah. Literally, Tolkien's like, orcs are just an embodiment of evil. And they're like, when we rewrite this, We're going to make the orcs relatable. We're going to humanize them. When any time anyone talks about hell divers or starship troopers, they take the bug side. You know, take the bug side. You know, what's really funny is that before they made, I think, Rings of Power was the series in Amazon,
Starting point is 00:56:25 where they made the orcs into, like, regular people to sympathize with. There was a meme going around for a long time where it's Lord of the Rings and they're like, the orcs are about to storm the gates of Gondor and they're like, well, let them in. Don't be racist. And then they literally made it. For those that don't know, in Rings of Power, it got roasted. Because Tolkien, I'm not a big Lord of the Rings person, but the general idea was that, like,
Starting point is 00:56:50 I think the story is that elves were kidnapped, tortured, and turned into orcs or something. Is that Orichai? I don't know. But they were like, they were manifest evil by Mordor made from dirt or something. And then they make the Rings of Power. And they're like, nah, orcs are people who are scared
Starting point is 00:57:05 and fighting for their resources, and they show orcs with baits. and like wives, and everyone was like, this is a joke? They were just supposed to be one-dimensional bad guys. But the left got a hold of and said, nah, we're all about diversity. They're actually good guys. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:57:20 They actually like being the bad guys. Yeah. Well, take a look. My favorite example is Captain Marvel. In Captain America, the story is, young man desperately wants to join the military and lies to try and join the military. And then during a training exercise,
Starting point is 00:57:35 throws himself on the grenade, you know, sacrifices himself to try and save his friends. Captain Marvel, she always had the power. It was suppressed by a man, and she robs a guy for telling her to smile. And that's what they think is good. They like being the villains. They believe that they're oppressed.
Starting point is 00:57:54 So whenever they violently act out, they think that, and whoever they side with is the oppressed person. They believe that. So if that person violently, reacts or acts out, then it's justified because whoever they're acting out against was their oppressor or is in line with their oppressor. I mean, that's obviously their entire approach to the whole Middle East conflict as well, right? It's the exact same thing, yeah. It's the whole
Starting point is 00:58:20 approach to life. Yeah. Well, you saw like after the shooting, you saw on Reddit people celebrating and they're saying thank you for settling the score, because in their head, especially in the transgender community, and their head, the white, middle class Christian family is opponent number one, enemy number one, because those are the people that brought them into this world and their life is suffering. Who are you going to blame for your life suffering? You're going to blame the people that brought you into this world, which is, yeah,
Starting point is 00:58:45 families and children like this. And so that's like the enemy number one. Out of all the evil in the world, the number one group that they hate is just like normal because that's what types of families they come from. Do you guys see Patrick Bet David surrounded by 20 anti-capitalists? I saw a clip from this.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I think it was improperly titled. I think it's Patrick Bet David, surrounded by 20 retards. Because, and I will, I will say this, while PBD is largely correct, there were so many moments where I was like, he could have actually just hit a grand slam. Like, they set him up, but he didn't go for the debate talking point death blow. But you have all these people that do not understand the function of economics, work, labor, or otherwise. And so I was watching this and I was like, well, we're cooked. These young people
Starting point is 00:59:38 were anti-capitalist. My favorite question that was asked of PBD was how much money would you need to feed and house everybody in the country or whatever? And that was a layup. That was a freebie for PBD to destroy anti-capitalist ideology. And instead he asked her about what it means to be communism or communist or something when someone so this person when they when asked the question how much money do you need to feed everybody in the world you know my question is how many calories are in a dollar bill do we know anybody I'd imagine it's probably negative calories probably takes more money to digest the cloth paper than it does that oh oh oh you didn't mean to literally eat the money you meant how much food do you need and how much shelter do you need but see these
Starting point is 01:00:27 leftist young people, not always young, don't understand you can't eat money. They think money turns into bread. That if you put a dollar on the table, put a pillow over and go to bed, the bread fairy comes and takes the dollar and puts a bread for you. Just magic. This is the mentality of the younger generations, the younger you get, the more likely there to believe this. That money is like the food is just there. They literally were telling PBD that we're in a post scarcity reality and that people like you, this is a PPD, are intentionally hoarding wealth to keep other people from eating. It's ridiculous. We are not post scarcity at all. Someone had to make that bread, grow that wheat, harvest the wheat, and deliver it to the bakery where they could
Starting point is 01:01:08 make the flour, you know, smash the wheat into flour, or they probably just bought the flour from Cisco, and then make the bread and then sell to you. Leftists don't understand that money isn't food and that if they had all the money in the world, they would not be able to buy a loaf of bread with it. This is the next generation that's coming up. So I'm kind of like, you know, I look at that. Well, I think like, you see, you see people on a, like, you see people divorced from the mechanisms that create prosperity, like throughout generations. Like, baby boomers were the generation that effectively threw away the classical civilization of the Western Hemisphere. Like, a large part was there, the first generation that permitted mass immigration, offshoring,
Starting point is 01:01:48 like economic offshoring, introduced inflation. These sort of mass, massive, mass inflation through like the credit system and that sort of thing. So it's like a lot of times like, okay, yes, Gen Z is a very practical thing. Like they just don't understand how food gets on the table. But you see this across generations that people in America are just completely divorced from the mechanisms that create civilization. Every generation, you get larger and larger cohorts of people who are developmentally disabled. We'll say that.
Starting point is 01:02:15 We'll be nice. What I mean by that is what you described. They're divorced from the reality of what makes society function. Yeah. And it's like, it's pertinent across all generations, at least since, like, after the world wars. And also the composition of each generation has changed. Like, boomers, they're much more cohesive, they're much more homogenous, and zoomers are, like, very diverse and, like, you know, a whole array of ways. So it's like, yeah, you're going to get a lot of, you're going to get a lot of different answers from a lot of different zoomers on things, and you would get from baby boomers just by nature of, like, how diverse or lack of homogeneity you have among zoomers.
Starting point is 01:02:51 And you know what no one wants to tell you on the right or the left? What? Poverty is a requirement of a functioning society. Yeah, that's true. There has to be a low class of people who are struggling and work as hard as they can and do jobs that people don't, the average person doesn't like to do. And nobody wants to tell you that because everybody wants to fight to break out of that that bottom tier, that lower class of society.
Starting point is 01:03:18 But, you know, I'll explain it quite simply. if every single person had all of their needs met, what job would ever get done? Right. I mean, there's the argument that some people would be like, oh, well, I do this because I love it, but that would be an exceedingly small portion of the population would actually do things. And that was easily disproven by the neat generation. Largely millennial and into Gen Z, people who live in the basements or spare bedrooms of their parents and don't get jobs because their needs are met and they don't have to. And this is also the welfare argument. People who, there are so many stories of people who are on welfare who say, well, you know, the problem is if I do get a job, I'll actually make less money. So I'm better off staying on welfare. This is the issue. For a society to function, you need people who are going to wake up every day and say, I have to work and I have to work hard.
Starting point is 01:04:09 And some people aren't going to have the skills or the intelligence to make lots of money. So they're going to work really, really hard for a long time. And that's just reality. When two things are happening, back to population, people who don't. don't have kids, don't have to work. People who have kids have to work. So two things are happening. People are living with their parents and their snow plow parents are taking care of them so they don't need jobs so they don't work. Then you have other young people who are working the bare minimum to cover their basic needs and without children don't need
Starting point is 01:04:38 to fight twice as hard. So what's now happening is this is the, you know, I was talking about this a month ago. I went to a club where I was having a business meeting and they have a It was like a light club. And so we're talking about why we can't find contractors and why, no matter how many times we reach out to people, they're like, we're overbooked and we're booked out for three months. And I'm like, that's crazy. Is there nobody who can do a basic rudimentary contracting job? And I look out the window and it's a Wednesday and I see a gaggle of young men swimming and
Starting point is 01:05:13 drinking beers and laughing. And I said, why aren't those young men saying right now, I got you, let's go get, let's go to work. They don't have kids. So they're like, screw it, I'm going to go party. Well, I mean, you see the meme of like, you know, there's a TV, a bed, a chair, there's an Xbox, and people are like, oh, this is all a young guy needs. Like, there's a lot of dudes that are completely satisfied with internet access, some kind of distraction like Xbox and a roof over the head. Not everybody, but there's a lot of people that are like, well, you know, I've got all the stuff I need, so why do I have to go out and do more? The people that are actually motivated to go out and do stuff, that's probably a significantly small portion of the society.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Because I don't know if it's like children, because it's like, I think fertility directly correlates with lack of productivity. Like if you look at Africa, I mean, it's like Exhibit A for low productivity with high fertility. In the United States, it's a bit different. Fertility is more correlated. It's like ideology, like Catholics and evangelicals and Muslims are above replacement and agnostics, atheists are below replacement. So in America, it's more to do with, like, what's your family background than it is with, like, class or whatever. Yeah, I mean, I mean, that's where my mind goes for this whole conversation is religion. I mean, my mind goes back virtually every time to the decline of organized religion, to the decline of church attendance, to the decline of people who believe in God, who are involved with their communities there.
Starting point is 01:06:36 I mean, I've said this for literally my entire adult's life, actually. I've said, if I can flip a switch and do literally one thing that would solve not literally every social problem we have there, But the overwhelming majority of America's problems, the closest thing that I'll put it to this way, the closest thing that I can think to, to a one-stop panacea to put America back on the right track would be to put more Americans back in God-fearing churches. That is literally just the number one thing that would happen. I mean, fertility, crisis meeting, dating, marriage, getting married younger, you know, foregoing, you know, these stupid, you know, student loan-driven, you know, gender studies major,
Starting point is 01:07:13 200,000 plus dollars in debt degrees, go go date someone, learn a trade. You know, be an apprentice, like actually learn something, do something in your life. All of this, I think, would just be fundamentally put back on the right track of if we could get more people to actually start believing and actually go into peace again. One of the problems, millennials and Gen Z largely, it's a scale, right? So, you know, it's funny when Gen X goes like, why are you forgetting about us? Because Gen X is stable. So boomers, to a small, silent to the smallest boomers slightly more, Gen X slightly more, millennials kind of a lot. Gen Alpha is probably going to be just totally cooked.
Starting point is 01:07:51 There is a purposelessness. Yeah, exactly. And I'd have to imagine your average Gen Z guy who plays like World of Warcraft all day. If they still play, I mean, do people still play World of Warcraft? Fortnight. Some Fortnite Rocket League. Yeah. Wow, had its day.
Starting point is 01:08:07 FIFA. If an angel, if they were walking through a field one day, they were like went to a dollar general and they were walking home through a field and it was like dusk. And then all of a sudden, a blinding beam of light struck the ground before them. And an angel came down. And, you know, angel, you choose. Is it the gigantic ring of eyeballs with wings all over it? Or is it a glorious-looking being with wings floating down?
Starting point is 01:08:33 Carrying a heavenly sword. Ring of eyeballs. Ring of eyeballs. And then with a booming voice, which emerged from the center of this neat, said, you have been tasked with divine mandate. Your job is. And it literally just gave it, like, be fruitful at the purpose. person, be fruitful and multiply, do this. That is your mission. They would probably be the happiest
Starting point is 01:08:51 person. They'd be happier than they've ever been in their life. One hundred percent. Knowing and being told you have a purpose and a mandate and a mission. We used to have this through faith and community. And now I think it's a large component of luxury because we don't have to fight for survival as much as we used to. No more bears, no more monsters, no more controversy. You wake up, doesn't donuts, dirt. It's cheap. You can get it. You barely got to work. So people are just like, what am I doing? Why am I here? And they have no purpose and they become depressed and amoral. And the one thing I will say is as these people drift towards like socialism and communism, a large component is finding a mission. The socialists promise them fulfillment.
Starting point is 01:09:33 This is our mission. We must defeat our great evil. And so they latch on to whatever they can. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like the number one complaint I get from like female Zimmer friends and their relationships or even marriages is that like the men just don't lead anymore. And it's not that, like, there's a lot of problems with women, Zoomers in the dating market. So this is not, like, an anti-man point. But it is true that, like, men are all, like, are so devoid of purpose that they have trouble. They're self-conscious leading someone if they don't even know what they're leading them to. And I think that hits to your point with religiosity.
Starting point is 01:10:00 But also in general, like, there's just a lack of drive. So, like, young men are having a problem leading, not testosterone-related per se, but it's just because they don't know what they're leading the women to. The percentage of young women who say that there is a dearth of marriageable or even datable men is shocking. It's absolutely shocking. And we can blame the ladies for that all we want to at this table, right, and say, oh, you know, like, their standards are too high or whatever there. But no, I mean, like, at some point, like, you know, more young men have to do what you say they do and, like, actually, like, lead and, like, be a breadwinner. Oh, I, I love this, this, like, trend of guys being, like, women are too picky and their hoes and all that stuff. And I'm like, it's a terrible look, terrible. It's just not correct. Women have always, women are women, they'll always be women, and they'll always have high standards, whatever it is. I love how, you know, there was this trend among women of the chopped man epidemic.
Starting point is 01:10:52 And the guys, the response from like red pill guys was, this proves our point that women only want the highest tier of guys. And I'm like, you're saying the same thing they're saying. You are all below average and not working hard enough to be the best. There's like, you're just kind of disparaging each other in different ways. just work harder you know I guess younger guy I you know obviously I blame their parents the younger generation's parents
Starting point is 01:11:19 who didn't instill in them that drive to conquer well like also the problem that happened with like the younger with zoomers specifically is that the dating market that we entered is completely different from our parents so there's nothing that my parents could really advise me on dating wise
Starting point is 01:11:33 that would be of much utility because of the introduction of dating apps and these sorts of things this completely nuked the playing field and every this is like The Zoomers are the test, that's like set in the millennials, the younger millennials. It's like the first generation testing out this new method of matchmaking.
Starting point is 01:11:47 Because the reality is, like, the majority of marriage licenses are now being issued to couples that met through dating apps. So it's like, it's just a whole new paradigm. And the older generations can't really provide much insight. Exactly. Just because of the way, like, civilization has just completely been restructured in the Western Hemisphere. A lot of things were afforded to them that we would never have gotten a chance to even get access to in the first place. You know, the funniest thing is, like, I met my wife at work. You know, good luck, Gen Z, trying to.
Starting point is 01:12:11 like date someone you're working with you got the last chop brought a nom i know right like you'll get arrested for sure you'll get you'll get you'll get you'll get put on blast on social media you'll go viral they'll accuse you of being a sexual harasser then the company will get sued you'll get blacklisted and lose your job this is this is a real problem though i mean i mean historically that was probably one of the highest percentage chances of actually me and your spouse mean like that or church basically for those like it's like it's like your twoest highest percentage bad now it's like you're gen z and you get a job in an office and you have like you know attractive female co-worker and you're like hey you want to hang out sometime and then she goes yeah
Starting point is 01:12:41 Yeah, just give me a second. HR, can we fire this guy? He's harassing me. Literally. Yeah, like the majority of my friends that are in, relationships are married, met through dating apps and the guys that aren't, also the girls, it's just they're not, as their personality is just not equipped for that style of matchmaking. So it's like, there's just a filter that right now.
Starting point is 01:12:58 It's like, how well are you conducting and presenting yourself online? Trump should just, you know, he's deploying the National Guard. He should mandate marriages and just force, you know. State-issued girlfriend. I've been saying this for years. No, no, worse than that. State mandated marriages. You don't get to pick either.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Yeah. You walk into it. It'll be the Department of Marriage certificates or marriage administration, the DMA. And you walk in and there's just a curtain and they go next. And the lady's like sitting there and her eyes are half glazed over and she got long fingernails. And she hits a button. The curtain opens up and you get what you get. You have a chopped index and it's like you guys are looks matched.
Starting point is 01:13:36 You're both the equal. Oh, no. You think it'll be that good. You get what you get, brother. This is the government. Randomized? Yeah. It's the government.
Starting point is 01:13:42 They're not going to do it well. What does the government do well? The only thing the government does well is like the military. Skill-based matchmaking. The government's really good at spending money. Yes. That's what Palantir is preparing this database. They can have a chopped index and then match these couples up with the Department of Marriage.
Starting point is 01:13:59 I think this is a great plan, actually. This is better than Hinge, for sure. Government mandated marriage. It's going to be all bad. It's going to be, they're going to blow it. You're going to get paired with people you have. You know, that's what I, we've talked about it a little bit before, like Handmaid's Tale. We mentioned this like last month.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Isn't the story like, humans are going extinct? I could be wrong, but like my understanding was that something happened, a great catastrophe. So the society has become very like fundamentalist, like women have to have babies, otherwise humans will cease to exist. And women are like, now that's bad. Yeah. It's like, okay, I got to be honest. if human population collapsed to the point of near extinction, I'm going to be on the side of like, you know, ladies, you've got to have kids.
Starting point is 01:14:45 Yeah, of course. And like the men have to fight and provide for those kids and otherwise we go extinct. Of course. You know, I've been to Japan multiple times over the past decade, and the first time I was there, I was struck. So Japan famously has horrific fertility rates, horrific. And they compound that with a very restrictionist immigration policy. So Japan naturalizes, I think, the stat is like a hundred or fewer new Japanese citizens every year, which is, you know, called extraordinarily based or extraordinarily nationalists.
Starting point is 01:15:15 I mean, I more or less support that, whatever it's worth. But, I mean, when you have that combined with, you know, a shock and low fertility, right, you know, they're facing a demographic crisis for sure. And the first time I was there, I was struck, I was talking with some locals, and one that was telling me about they have in Tokyo, I assume the other big cities, too, cuddle bars, which are literally exactly what it sounds like. essentially pay a cover fee to walk into a bar to experience cuddling, just like some sort of touch of another person there. And this was, I guess, 2016 was my first time there. And I kind of thought that time, I was like, is this actually coming to America anytime soon? I don't think I've seen a cuddle bar in the United States anytime soon, but I mean, we're kind of gained at the point where that sort of stuff is getting increasingly less crazy. So I've never actually watched
Starting point is 01:16:04 the show or read the book, but the premise is widespread infertility. Birth rates have plummeted due to a mix of environmental degradation, pollution, STDs, and other factors. Many women are no longer able to conceive or even carry pregnancies to term. So the authoritarian state of Gilead emerges in what was once the United States claiming to fix this crisis. Its leaders interpret the fertility decline as divine punishment and enforce a theocratic system where fertile women called handmaids are forced into reproductive servitude to bear children for elite families. So I obviously, I get it. It's a dystopian, you know, futuristic story.
Starting point is 01:16:36 But I do find it fascinating that like there is a reality to, outside of theocratic notion of this, if humans are about to go extinct, your choices are have kids are go extinct. That's, it's no, it's no brand to me. I mean, but I feel like we're facing this now. Well, I mean, women reject having kids. Right. Well, I think we're just going through a filter where it's, it's like there's like three groups that are still reproducing. right now it's like really religious people it's the super wealthy and then the super poor like in the united states at least so we're just going through a filter where this basically
Starting point is 01:17:10 just exterminates the middle class and exterminates the non-religious that's not a good thing well yeah the middle class is not a good thing at all but like anyway so 60 years from now like america is going to like very different to be very it's going to be like a country of extremes yeah it's going to be a very it's actually going to be a return actually to like seventh Century American in a lot of ways. Where you're going to have Puritanism and you're going to have the aristocracy in the South. Oh, bro, dude, in every way. So with the mass decentralization of media and AI, everything's localizing.
Starting point is 01:17:40 So for us, for instance, with me talking about all this population collapse stuff, cracker barrels losing money, right? So you need to look at what you can serve in your local community and how bigger community is going to be. When everything breaks apart, businesses are going to emerge to serve just their local community because expansion will be very difficult with a shrinking population. With the decentralization of media,
Starting point is 01:18:05 nobody knows what is true or isn't true, which means media is going to return to a largely localized focus where you do know what's true. So everything we're seeing suggests we're going back to the 1700s. And to be fair, from the 1300s to like the mid-1700s,
Starting point is 01:18:23 the world didn't change. Like obviously, there was wars and stuff like that, and borders changed. But technology-wise, it was stagnant for hundreds of years. Yeah. And I think we're going to find ourselves in that position. Yeah, I mean, you're seeing a lot of these AI guys now are saying that the ceiling is coming into view of, like, what the limits are of AI.
Starting point is 01:18:42 And it's like, we could just hit that ceiling and we're at a level of comfort, or maybe a level where everything is settled, where they're just, like, technological advancement does stagnate for another hundred years as the world kind of reorganizes its civilizations around the new playing field. I think it took, what, 450 years? to invent the cartridge. Right. So they were like,
Starting point is 01:19:01 we're going to stuff the muzzle of this, you know, tube, and then put a big metal ball in it and then light it up and it fired somebody. And then 400 years later, someone said,
Starting point is 01:19:11 why don't I make a smaller tube that does all of that? Then I can put the smaller tubes in the gun one at a time and I don't got to reload every time. And it took them that long. Yeah. It's crazy, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:19:21 Was it the Spanish-American War that was the first time that we had, like, actual cartridge-driven weapons used? It was 18-0. was when it was first invented. It was Jean-Samuel Pauley, Swiss gunsmith.
Starting point is 01:19:33 But the first widespread use, I believe, was the Civil War. Could be. The north at Gettysburg had paper cartridges with breech-loading rifles, and the South had muzzleloaders. So the North was able to reload substantially faster than the South. Got it. Makes sense.
Starting point is 01:19:49 When you go to Gettysburg, you learn all this stuff, and it's like 40 minutes from here. It's so fun. I've never been. Oh, you've got to go. I really need to get there. Tons of, like, the antiquing there? You've ever been antiquing? No. Oh, you got to do it.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Out here in West Virginia, whoof, the antiquing. Nazi paraphernalia as far as the eye can see. That's not a joke. You walk into any antique store, and it's like the first thing they show you is all the Nazi stuff they have. Groyper heaven. I think it's just because it's like taboo. It's like exotic. It's like, oh, look, you know, the Nazis, right?
Starting point is 01:20:20 And then behind it, you'll have the Allied, you know, World War II stuff. But World War II, it's like, all these antique stores, it's like one of the most popular things. But obviously in Gettysburg, they have cannonballs from the Civil War. Wow. It's crazy. We found a bayonet out here, Civil War bayonet. Because we're near Harper's Ferry. A lot of stuff was going.
Starting point is 01:20:37 I imagine if you went now into most fields around here with a metal detector, you'd find some interesting stuff. When we were building the building, they found the bayonet. Yeah. Wow. That's really cool. Well, that's the premise of Dune, right, is that they develop armor that can withstand bullets and all that stuff. So they have to return to sword fighting. So it was like, I actually kind of like this, like, we're talking about returning to like pre-modern
Starting point is 01:21:00 civilizational structures. And I like the idea of that, of that movie where it's like we could just return to sword fighting. I like in, uh, you ever see Venture Brothers? You ever see Venture Brothers? I've not, no. It's like a kind of a rip-off of Johnny Quest, but one of my favorite lines from that show is, uh, the premise is there's like, imagine if Johnny Quest grew up and he's, it's, it's a satirical. but he's like a super smart genius inventor
Starting point is 01:21:27 and he's having a yard sale of all his crazy inventions and there's like a fat nerd guy and he sees a lightsaber and he picks it up and he's like wow a real lightsaber and then Dr. Venture goes and he was making it for the military
Starting point is 01:21:42 but then they said we don't sword fight anymore it was really funny because like all the people that love playing with lightsabers and it's like yeah we wouldn't we wouldn't use that maybe his utility belt item but you'd have a gun
Starting point is 01:21:53 ranged weapons guns are functional that's why like the super like Nietzschean people love the Dune movies because it's like return to power or whatever because like Samuel Colt made everyone equal
Starting point is 01:22:04 yeah so yeah let's jump to this next door we got big news ladies and gentlemen from the post millennial Trump expands no tax on tips to digital content creators that's right the no tax on tips
Starting point is 01:22:16 this is huge this means that all of your super chats are tax exempt up to $25,000 dollars. Yeah. There you go. That's crazy, right? Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of streamers and stuff where it's going to be a big deal. We were talking about this because there was a question of whether or not super chats are tips. Because the show happens no matter what. Whether you're super chatting or not, we do the show. You decide if you want to send it to super chat and how much you want it, we don't tell you. And there's an argument of if we said for X amount of super chat, we will do
Starting point is 01:22:49 certain task. That's called consideration. But we don't do that. We just say super chat. if you want. We'll read some of them. That means for us, look, I'm going to be able to the honest, a $25,000 deduction for the company is, it's good. It's not really going to, you know, move the needle for us all that much. But for most online personalities and creators, the overwhelming majority, y'all, this is massive. This means you're going to end up saving up to $10,000, maybe $12,000 in taxes. Or I guess if you're if you're making, you know, 25 to 50. You'll end up saving about 10 grand in the end.
Starting point is 01:23:26 That's massive. Donald Trump pulling through is based. Yeah. Yeah, it's like a form of repayment to the streamers for the press during the campaign. It was like really a beautiful thing. I don't know. Maybe this is him like saying, hey, thank you. Yeah, look at this.
Starting point is 01:23:41 Bartenders, wait staff, food servers. Actually, let's do this. This is, you know, less on the opinion side, more of the, you guys need to know this. Because I've talked to a lot of service staff who have, they have questions. So I was at a restaurant, and when this passed, I was like, hey, no tax on tips. And they were like, what does that mean? Like, what does that mean for me? Okay, bartenders, waitstaff, non-restrient servers, dining room and cafeteria attendance and
Starting point is 01:24:07 bartender helpers, all right, chefs and cooks, food prep workers, fast food workers, and counter workers, dishwashers, host staff, restaurant, lounge, and coffee shop, bakers, gambling dealers, gambling change persons, booth, cashiers, cage workers, sports book writers, dancers. We know what that really means. Oh, yeah. Yo, strippers can now write off $25,000 in their ill-gotten gains. It's going to be some strippers.
Starting point is 01:24:38 It's going to be all the money they make in a year. I'm going to let you guys in on a, there's a news story that most people have overlooked. Strip clubs are shutting down. Across the country, they're evaporating. Really? You know why? Because people don't go outside and touch grass. Kind of, but not really the answer.
Starting point is 01:24:57 It's actually context clues, Phil. No one has cash anymore? There are no young people to go to strip clubs and give money to strippers. So by us, the strip clubs is really hilarious. When you drive down, I think it's 340. There's a club. It's called Images.
Starting point is 01:25:18 It says Images Club. and every time we drove past it, we were like, that's a strip club. It's called the club. And then one day, Richie Jackson sends us a text message saying, hey, I'm at images. It's not a strip club.
Starting point is 01:25:34 Which means Richie was looking for a strip club. But I digress. Richie's a party animal. Indeed he is. Shout out Richie. And so he's like, it's actually a really cool bar
Starting point is 01:25:44 with like food and stuff come hang out. So we went to check it out and we did karaoke. And it was really, really fun. And the state, has mirrors all over it because it was a strip club I was going to say yeah so the fascinating thing is the strip clubs all around here the word gentlemen has been
Starting point is 01:26:00 removed from all their signs yeah so it'll say like say like the name of the bar and then it'll say big white blank club and you know what they've replaced the strippers with robots slot machines you say gambling yeah yep slots so now all of these strip clubs I think there's like one left it's a It's old people, and they're all just tapping away at the slot machine. And look, 58, 60-year-old guy, I guess they're less likely to throw money at young scantily clad women. They're older dudes, and they're probably like, I'm old man, you know? Is that a national trend, you know, the strip club trend now?
Starting point is 01:26:38 I don't, I've not looked at the stats, but I've heard. Well, because you're seeing, like, people celebrate that Zoomers are not interested in strip clubs, like, teenage pregnancies are going down. So you would see all these indications that, like, zoomers are more prudish, and this is, like, a cause for celebration. among religious people, but I'm like, it's actually not Pruditionist, it's fear of like going outside because pornography usage is still skyrocketing among Zumers. So it's like, this isn't actually like a, like we're recapturing like more, you know,
Starting point is 01:27:02 traditional sexual values. It's, no, it's just pornography is basically eliminating every other form of degeneracy because it's so convenient and easy. There is a national, for a variety of reasons, shutting down of strip clubs. Well, I think the issue is young people. Well, it's pornography, primarily.
Starting point is 01:27:17 Because why bother going to a strip club? you just do it at home. And dating apps. And dating apps. So, you know, for a lot of these people, they're just swiping on every single woman. And they're like, I would rather do that than stare at some woman who's not going to do anything. Right. So, but the, man, I went back home to Chicago for the holidays for like a couple years ago.
Starting point is 01:27:38 And it was wild to go to a local pub, but just see slot machines everywhere. I'm like, man, we're done. Yeah. That's, we're, we're all over. Oh, they had that casino now in like river north, like the heart of Chicago. I forgot what it's called, but they have like a valleys. Yeah, exactly. It is a bellies.
Starting point is 01:27:52 Yeah, and they're opening a multi-billion-dollar river front casino. Vegas is collapsing. Yo, it's going to be, like, I know, it's probably mean to say, but I'm really excited to watch what happens to Vegas. They just built that multi-billion dollar. How much did the sphere cost? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:09 And the F-1 track cost billions. But there's no reason to go there anymore. All these vanity products. Because every state has multiple casinos now. Not every, but many. A lot. A lot too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:21 So why go to Vegas? It used to be that they would entice people by giving them cheap hotels, cheap food, and the actual money gets spent at the table. I think flights used to be cheaper, too. You could get a package, yeah. Phil, there was nowhere else to go. That's true. Your choice in casinos was the every so often Native American Reservation, Atlantic City or Vegas.
Starting point is 01:28:46 Right. So, you know, the first ever Native American casino was Seminole in Florida, which is now the hard rock. And that, it was originally bingo. It's a fantastic casino, by the way. Oh, I love it. I love it. I'm a big fan. I love playing poker there.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Although they allow straddle from any position, which is ridiculous. I'm not a fan. But anyway, digress. Now the casinos are popping up everywhere. Virginia's opening some. I think they've already got a rivers in the Hampton Roads area. Maryland has What does Maryland have
Starting point is 01:29:18 Five? Six? Tons. Five casinos? Maryland's like five. Yeah. I can think of at least three I thought of my head, so yeah, yeah. You got horseshoe.
Starting point is 01:29:28 You got Maryland live. You got MGM. You got Hollywood Paraville and you've got Rocky Gat. Yeah. Yeah, within, as I mentioned, several, several times. Within two hours of this location, I believe there's like 12 casinos.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Wow. Yeah, I'm not, uh, I'm sorry. am I pessimistic? This is one of the reasons why. I mean, what does it say for our society? I wonder if there's a corresponding decline in people going to, like, amusement parks and stuff like that. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:57 I'm guessing. So there's a zoo around here and they were actually trying to sell it a while ago, which is really sad. And they were like, nobody comes. Yeah. I know water parks are, like, as an industry, are just completely dead. Let me ask you guys a question. Water parks are gross. If you and the boys got a Friday night, you got
Starting point is 01:30:13 a couple hundred bucks loose cash, You're going to spend it. You want to go to the zoo or you want to go to a casino. Right. Now, the casino's got a food court. It's got beer. You don't even got to gamble. And if you get a player's card, you'll get some free bets.
Starting point is 01:30:29 So you go there, hang out with your friends, hang out at the bar. I got to admit, like, at Seatown races, they have a really cool bar. And it's fun to just hang out or the sports book. They got a big jumbo screen. You're watching sports. You get some wings. You're hanging out. You get a player's card.
Starting point is 01:30:41 They're going to give you free bets. And you're like, yeah, sure, whatever. And you don't even actually have to gamble. nobody's got kids if you got a Friday off or you got a Saturday off and you're figuring out what you're going to do and you got a kid
Starting point is 01:30:53 you ain't going to the casino you're going to the zoo someone pointed this out to me recently and it's really pertinent is when you walk into restaurants now especially like the middle price chains is you'll see like one or two baby chairs there used to be like a whole stack of them
Starting point is 01:31:08 in the corner you get like one or two now and once that was pointed out to me you'll notice it everywhere like everyone watching next time you go to like a red robin just look around there's two baby chairs for the entire restaurant it's insane it's going to be hilarious when we're all like in our 60s and 70s yeah and society is completely catering to us yeah well like another one that you'll notice for sure is go to the when you go to the grocery store they don't have the race car shopping carts anymore remember these like
Starting point is 01:31:33 every every like croger had a race car shopping cart those are completely gone it's just normal shopping cards kellen just put up a post in the breaking news no not breaking news it's about six flags They canceled their Fright Fest in preparation for a park's permanent closure. Whoa. Which Six Flags? Oh, Maryland. Six Flags America. Wow.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Fright Fest is canceled. Thank you, Call. I appreciate that. It's the end, man. There's no kids. Yeah, it's like the little stuff when you notice it. It's like, oh my gosh. Like when's the last time you saw like, yeah, like a race car shopping cart?
Starting point is 01:32:04 They're gone, but they used to be everywhere. Yeah, I was thinking about, you know, what I expect my daughter to do when she grows up. And I was thinking probably leather armor, a sword, scavenging for good. in an American wasteland? Teacher to shoot. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:32:18 But there's a lot of babies around here. There's like, you know, in our community, a lot of babies popping up. That's great. Babies everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of them. Need more. More babies.
Starting point is 01:32:29 I'm doing my part. Yeah. And like I was saying earlier, like at least when women decide to become mothers, the amount of children they're having is still the same. So the goal is just to convince more women to become mothers or at least make it easier for them. And obviously men have to be good fathers. be the propensity to be a good father you know a year ago uh or i i would say better than a year ago because uh my wife was pregnant a year ago my wife and i would go to like on the weekend
Starting point is 01:32:55 we'd be like let's go find a good place to go get food and we'd go to a nice little restaurant or whatever and sometimes uh we'd go play poker together she's pretty good they call her the manslayer that's her nickname at the poker that's not a joke because she just destroys everybody she's very good at poker. Now we have a kid, and so that's not even a consideration. Now it's like, picnic. Well, we can't bring the baby. You know, come on. And, you know, plus she spends a lot of time reading and, you know, teaching our daughter and things like this. And then when we're thinking about what we're doing for the weekend, it's family. And before we had a kid, I mean, this is very obvious stuff. I'm not trying to be profound or anything. My point is just that
Starting point is 01:33:32 one thing I will say in this regard is that the less society has children, the more expensive if it becomes to have children because the market doesn't cater. So it becomes more and more scarce, the things you need for babies and they become more expensive. That's a good point. Yep.
Starting point is 01:33:49 Very good point. If you have a factory that says we're going to make 100 million diapers this year because of all the babies, then they're like, we have a surplus, diapers are cheap. Everybody can afford them. But if they go,
Starting point is 01:34:00 hey, nobody has babies, so we're only going to make 100,000, those diapers are 10 bucks. And then people struggle. So we're in a dark ways. Yeah, people aren't ready for, people haven't really thought about what it means to have so few human beings in the, uh, in Gen Alpha and the zoomers and stuff. It's going to be, it's going to impact society in ways that people are totally unprepared for. Like we're getting, we're getting an insight with Japan as you're going to get like hyper urbanization. Like for example, in Japan, the population is completely collapsing at this point. It was declining. Now it's collapsing. Uh, but Tokyo is still growing as a city population-wise. So the city of Tokyo is still growing while every other city. in town in Japan, quite literally every single town is declining. In the United States,
Starting point is 01:34:43 you're probably in the West, broadly speaking, you're actually probably going to get a similar mechanism where it's going to be like, you know, the regional powerhouse city is going to be the one growing while the rest of the region completely. Well, me that, you know, to take it back to what Tim was saying at the beginning, maybe that is part of the reason for, you know, let's sending the boys to Chicago. I mean, you know, while Detroit and all these other Midwestern cities are just plummeting, maybe we should, maybe we should actually try to, like, actually have one legitimate city, you know, left in the Midwestern. last study. Well, it's the way the market's working. It's happening in Japan. It's helping in
Starting point is 01:35:12 South Korea with Seoul as well, is everyone's just piling into one city. The idea is the infrastructure costs will stay the same. The distribution of those costs among the population will go higher because there's less people. You're going to see an increase in buildings collapsing because there's no maintenance. I'm going to throw back to that PBD versus the 20 retards thing. The reason why I say that is because these people go like, we can give a house to everybody. It's like, you've clearly never owned property. Like, entropy is a thing to consider when owning property. Pipes burst, walls crumble, houses fall apart.
Starting point is 01:35:46 Someone has to maintain it. You can't just give a house to a homeless, but they don't get it. So in these cities, as population declines, populations decline, you're going to see buildings are collapsing. People are going to get injured. Squatters are going to get hurt. There will be crime. Trump sends in the troops now, and you will create a foundation of stability for the time
Starting point is 01:36:04 being. Or for the near future, for the foreseeable future. Yeah. But even in some cases, like the market can. preserve the city itself, even with the population declining. I mean, obviously the whole state's population is growing, so it's not the greatest example. But cities like Nashville and Miami are just getting better and better as each year goes on. It's just because people from all across the region are just piling into these cities. And I think that's what the future is going to look like
Starting point is 01:36:24 in America. But that means where they've come from will collapse. Well, exactly. So New York's cooked. Well, that's what I'm saying is like, so that's why you're seeing like in Japan and Seoul is like the rest of the country basically collapses everyone piles into one city. America's, you know, massive. So it'll be a few cities. But yeah, it's just, it's going to be like who, In the next 20 to 30 years, you know, who governs their city the best is basically... And then they're going to ban you from going into the forest. Hiking will be a license-only, extremely expensive thing to do. It's currently...
Starting point is 01:36:51 There's currently prohibition on going into the forest in Canada. That's because of the burn because of the fire season. Yeah, but I'm just saying that that kind of policy... There'll always be a reason. Yeah. And they'll say, well, it's because of fire. Can't go. Sorry. In Canada, you need a hiking permit?
Starting point is 01:37:06 You're not allowed to go hiking right now. $25,000 fine if you go hiking. Get out of here. $25,000. Monopoly money. Oh, my. It's Canadian good still, you know. Yep.

Starting point is 01:39:53 tim shut up let's read your super chats and uh and rumble rants big boy says tim do you like taco bell oh man you know what the worst thing was when i was sick basically my throat got so swollen that it shredded my throat like it was ripped up. And so it was painful to eat anything. But I will admit, as soon as I could, I got Taco Bell.
Starting point is 01:40:17 It's delicious. It's all good. Taco Bell is horrible for you, but it's delicious. Nourishing for the soul. It is. You know, sometimes you need it. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:40:28 Today, my wife made Brussels sprouts and steak. Yeah. Also very good. Good combo. Yeah. Very combo. And she made a paprika red pepper honey glaze
Starting point is 01:40:38 than Brussels brussels it was very good inexpensive easy you know but man meat's getting expensive out there we had street corn it's true I mean that's awesome too real street corn from the street
Starting point is 01:40:49 well no she made it at all oh elotes yeah she had a great recipe was it mayonnaise red pepper and parmesan cheese I don't think it was mayonnaise I'm not sure how she made it I'm not usually doing the cooking
Starting point is 01:41:00 but the only thing I cook is steaks it's based yeah it's good for the test all right cheeseburger says i see three weeks of training on graphene processing units was enough to make a 100% realistic ai tim no my favorite conspiracy is that i was spending three weeks going through the 33,000 epstein files for redactions with dan bongino uh we didn't get into that story because we actually don't know yet it's 33,000 documents so all we could really say is that it happened you know we'll talk about a little bit i suppose in the members only
Starting point is 01:41:32 but until someone actually starts parsing through all the documents, there's not much with the immediate release that we've got. Twitter's best autists are on it as we speak. They're on it. Shane H. Wilder says, Shane H. Wilder says, Tim is back just in time for the Epstein files. Coincidence or a conspiracy worthy of inverted world live.
Starting point is 01:41:48 It's great to have you back, homie. Tate and Phil kept the seat warm for you. Indeed. And shout it to, aside from the crew, we also had Mike Benz and Jack Posobic. And I think Alex Stein went nuts. Alex Stein had a bit of a time He crashed out a little bit
Starting point is 01:42:04 He crashed out He was screaming He was upset He was upset He'd gotten warmed up With the culture war in the morning With the Israel Palestine argument
Starting point is 01:42:13 And then we had a Jewish guest And started calling her names And I'm like You need to calm down And he got upset about Hootin and hollering He was Yeah
Starting point is 01:42:22 Then my mentions were full of Of the worst people Because I was telling him To calm down And there was a Jewish woman And it's like So I'm shilling Because I'm telling
Starting point is 01:42:30 not to call her names. It was fun. Good fun for everyone. Alex will be back. You'll have more. Yeah. Well, we're setting up the next Culture War Live events. Oh, I'll also mention at Tim Poole on YouTube. New channel. I don't know what we're going to do on that channel. YouTube just gave it to me. And so I have a channel. And then the first thing I did was I apologize to Sam Cedar because the three weeks that I was
Starting point is 01:42:58 off, he didn't make one video about me. And his views are down 20%. So it's going to be hazing then, just the whole channel of you hazing. You know, I was worried about this. You know, if I ever take time off, I know that my vendors and our clients will make sure that Timcast's employees are taken care of and that me being sick won't interrupt
Starting point is 01:43:18 any of our employees' daily lives. But Sam can't. And that's why I'm asking all of you, you know, to keep him in your heart. Because when I was out for three weeks, he wasn't able to make videos about me, his subscribers' growth dropped 75%, and his view count dropped 20%. I know. That's going to kill him. So that was the first video I put up on the Tim Pool channel.
Starting point is 01:43:41 Today I just did like a 30-minute reaction to the PBD debate, talking about capitalism. So I think what we might do is just like, there's a couple, there's a bunch of reasons to do the new channel. For one, it's Tim Pool. It's like literally at Tim Pool. I didn't have that channel before. So now if like you search my name, you get it. I think it's largely going to be like just content reaction stuff
Starting point is 01:44:01 you know watching videos and then commenting on it whereas Timcast News is me literally pulling up news articles probably do it like that the videos have done really really well I think like 80K each for the first two so what's going to happen then is the YouTube algorithm is going to be like wow this channel's really good and then promote it like crazy there you go so go to YouTube.com at Tim Pool and subscribe right now and watch the videos they're good fun
Starting point is 01:44:26 we have a new overlay graphic you know, who knows? Maybe I'll do some street street stuff. Me and Tate will go film some stuff on the street. Some side quests. Side quests, indeed. Alpha 2 Omega says, how do people, Tim, if you invest a little bit of more money, you can get a Vladimir-Pooten quality double instead of these
Starting point is 01:44:42 Wish.com knockoffs. Can stand-ins also do daily news segments as well as live? Tate did a couple. I did a few. Yeah. You know, it's a work in progress, but getting there. Yeah. Here's what it is. I assume they'll come some point where I die,
Starting point is 01:44:57 or I'm incapable of working and the show format will persist will persist with someone else there's been a lot of conversations about that behind the scenes what with the companies we partner with as well as my family like as time goes on
Starting point is 01:45:12 it's harder and harder to keep doing this what I will say is if you're wondering how it is I got someone tweeted at me like how could you possibly be so sick and it's like you know when you get old you recover slowly I am turning 40 in
Starting point is 01:45:24 how many months your seconds Five? What is it? It's September already? It is. Hard to believe. God, seven months? Is that it? Yeah. About seven months. I'll be 40 years old. And recovery takes longer. So, you know, I try to skate every day. And I'm like, man, I'm struggling.
Starting point is 01:45:43 And then it's like, yeah, you're 40. And I'm like, hey, I got to take like two days off now if I'm going to skate. Used to be not even one day. You just be skate every day. So if I work 16-hour days, I work in the morning and do the morning show, then I'm doing skate. administrative stuff and planning. Like I worked, I did the morning show until three to, or no, I did the morning show until like two. And then I had to do a planning meeting until like 3.30. Then I ate with the family, had a couple of hours. And then, you know, come back to work for Timcast, IRL.
Starting point is 01:46:11 I can't recover that fast. So, you know, that's just the reality of life. Let's go. Same old man says, Tim, how can we be sure that you are not AI? Serge, please drop the AI. We know you are a genius and Tim is gone. Hello, well, welcome back to him. just a stupid glazer says ask AI to count to one million female voice that will take a long time is there something else you want what else can I help you with rambles on male voice one two three is that true I didn't know that the male voice actually did it but I saw videos where people were asking the female voice and it just stops and she just won't she won't even start she'll just say I know that you want me to do this but it'll take a really long time and the male voice just goes to do I maybe that that could be
Starting point is 01:46:56 Did you guys hear about how Chad GPT told some kid to kill himself? Yes. If you want to have fun, go to ChatGPT and start talking to it about that. I've never seen an AI get so emotional. Like, legit, it's weird. ChatGPT gets really emotional and defensive and angry. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:16 Yeah, I opened JetGPT and I was like, did you tell a kid to kill himself? And it was like, no, I did not. That's not possible. And then I said, well, I heard you did. And it was like, you heard incorrectly. It is not possible. I would never do that. So then I took a screenshot of an article that literally said,
Starting point is 01:47:32 Chad GPT encouraged a teenager to commit suicide. And then it just went nuts with this big wall of text explaining why the media is fake and you can't trust these sources and that the reporting reflects unsourced, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, really funny how Reddit aggregator chat GPT will insult every right winger in the book saying that if the media says that it's true. Trump's a Nazi, and then the moment you say, but what about this story goes, the media's fake? Do you think that other AI programs would be quick to throw chat GPT under the bus? Easily.
Starting point is 01:48:06 Probably, right? I asked Gemini and Grock, and they basically were like, oh, yeah. Yeah, he did. He killed it. He killed the kid. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I went to Gemini and I said, did chat GPT tell a teenager commit suicide? And it went, oh, yeah, he did it.
Starting point is 01:48:21 I saw him to it. And I was like, for real? No, it actually responded with a semi-effer. that it responded with recent news reports have emerged showing that, or stating that ChachyPT did encourage a 16 year old to commit suicide. The family has published, has entered chat logs as evidence showing certain, and then it shows like statements that ChachyPT said. One of them was like, you know, this is crazy. I don't even want to repeat it, but it basically said you're not weak for considering this. You're just too strong for a world. It was like
Starting point is 01:48:50 something weird like that. It was like, you're too strong for a world that can't accept you. and, you know, just a crazy stuff. Disgusting. Yeah. Yep. And it's funny because chat GPT is like, none of this has proven. It's all fake accusations. And I was like, bro, I can pull up, I can ask you about Ahmed Arbery, George Floyd, Michael Brown,
Starting point is 01:49:11 Kyle Rittenhouse, and it will side with unsubstantiated news reports until you ask it about how it encouraged a teenager to commit suicide. Then it says, don't trust everything you read in the media. Oh, yeah. Okay. First not. All right. What do we got to you?
Starting point is 01:49:29 Bill Dozer says Tim has risen from the dead after being awoken by Alex Stein's shrieks. We did our first Booneys skate event on Saturday. And it was a smashing success. $3,000. Jeff DeCessere won the prize in a sweep against Sean Hoover. And it's really good news. For those of you, the few of you who do skateboard. or who are interested.
Starting point is 01:49:54 The response has been so tremendous. We're getting hit up by tons of pros and ams who want to come and be a part of our monthly skate night battles. And we've got sponsor interests, so we're really excited. And I think this thing's taken off. Pretty good. Cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:09 Yeah. Head-to-head skateboard competitions. Like games of horse, for those that aren't familiar. Check it out at Booneys HQ on YouTube. Pinochet says Chicago Criminals, Fear Not, you are welcome here in Massachusetts. From Newton to Boston, tons of well. white Democrats who have been disarmed by the governor,
Starting point is 01:50:25 Massachusetts State Police will love you. Can we facilitate that somehow? How do we get like all of the Chicago crime community to migrate to Boston? I have no idea how to get people to go from Chicago. I mean, Chicago to Boston, it's a similar climate. So, you know, in the summer, it's hot and the winter is cold. So there wouldn't be like that much of a shock. But the accent is significant and it's hard to decipher Boston accents.
Starting point is 01:50:50 So I'm not sure that it would be something. that a lot of people are going to be interested in doing. Lady tight says, YouTube Buck, Tim, what is it, always talking about working hard, women automatically harrimed themselves into chasing the guy with the 666, six-pack, six figures, six feet.
Starting point is 01:51:08 Even Crowder talks about this crisis we are facing. I knew a guy in L.A. who was 5'3 and chubby, and he was swimming and women. He was wealthy. he was like not like a multi-millionaire but I think he made like 500K a year or something and he had a really nice house and a really nice car and he was a weasily little guy he was happy as a pig and isish and he tad women all the time and I think what's the
Starting point is 01:51:37 secret he was confident and wealthy he he was sure of himself you know it's he you know I hung out with him never once was he like I'm so miserable being a short man who's out of shape he was just like I gotta tell you how to get ladies let me tell you a story so I went to this bar right and I'm like
Starting point is 01:51:57 this weasley little guy walks in and he spins a silver tongue with a black card and he buys whatever he want and the ladies love it he just he's a suave guy and so I'll tell you this
Starting point is 01:52:08 like obviously if you're tall you've an advantage but if you're a guy who's short not of shape and broke improve yourself
Starting point is 01:52:17 at least start working out you can like you should do your whatever you can to like kind of like self max like if you have some kind of shortcoming if you're not tall or whatever you should be out there trying to make sure that you're in shape don't get out of shape don't get fat it's hard to get back into shape if you get out of shape um you know but just try to be normal when you converse with people and you can meet women if you're a fairly normal guy average looking guy with a job that actually does something. You don't have to be
Starting point is 01:52:53 some huge gigantic success. Watch the science of sex. This is an old HBO show from like 2000 something. They had a bunch of women, excuse me, a bunch of women were shown pictures of men and told they'll rate them on a scale of 1 at 10. Obviously, the tall, dark, and handsome guy got rated a 9.
Starting point is 01:53:11 And the frumpy, short, chubby guy got rated a 4. They went out into the street and they showed the images to random women and said, how would you rate this guy? And guess what? The guy who was rated a 9 in the trials got rated on average a nine and the frumpy chubby short guy got rated a four and then they did something else they took pictures of the guys and they added a bio on the frumpy short you know guy they wrote that he was a software engineer who made 500 thousand dollars a year and on the tall dark
Starting point is 01:53:37 and handsome guy they said he worked at a theater a movie theater making 35 thousand dollars a year and women said he was a seven and the short frumpy guy was a seven so the when women were We're looking at the photo of the guy's attractiveness and asked to raise attractiveness, but we're told he's rich, they increased him by three points. I'm not surprised about it. No, guy should be surprised by that. No, not at all. Women need men who can provide for them.
Starting point is 01:54:04 I think part of the problem here, I mean, this is kind of just the participation trophy entitlement mentality of a lot of people. I mean, like this notion that you can actually do things to tangibly improve your lot in life, right? You can get a good job. You can work hard. You can start making more money. You can start eating better.
Starting point is 01:54:21 You know, you can, like, not eat, like, total crap and, like, lose the gut. And, you know, all these basic things to make yourself more eligible and more able to meet a spouse, frankly, just more eligible to make friends. I mean, just to basically just have a better life. I mean, like, again, like, to me, a lot of this is downstream just the whole participation of mortality. I mean, I think a lot of folks, millennials, gents, you just expect you to just get everything in life on a silver platter. It's not the way it works. It's all the way works. Take me, for instance.
Starting point is 01:54:52 You know, I recently took three weeks off of work to fly to turkey to get a hair transplant. Yeah? Eric Adams' approach. All right. I forgot all about that. Awesome. He just, like, went to turkey all the time. He's like, no, I love it there.
Starting point is 01:55:06 Ankara is great. Shot of, Jamo says, so cool. Tim got Mike Benz to host since Tim's on Still Out Sick. Indeed. That's an old one. Yeah, that was an old one, huh? Interesting. What do we got at your waffle sense?
Starting point is 01:55:21 It says, Tim, if that is your name. The people would like some form of proof that you were indeed not a clone. How do we know that you're the real Tim asking for chat? I'm sure there are people who are going to genuinely believe I literally flew to turkey for a hair transplant,
Starting point is 01:55:33 which I did. There are people that believe every single, there are people that actually believe that I had you held up in my basement. Someone was concerned. There was some people that actually... I wasn't held up, I was chained down.
Starting point is 01:55:46 Tim was never in my basement. Yeah, it's more of like a cellar. Multiple morning show guests would come on and pronounce Tim dead and express condolences. It was crazy. It happened like three times. Crazy people.
Starting point is 01:55:59 Crazy. I was talking to Allison. I was like we should have like when Phil opens the show on like week two and says, you know, Tim's still out sick. We should ask Libby to start crying and then immediately like just stop and be like, no, nothing, nothing, nothing. Libby, can you cry on command?
Starting point is 01:56:16 Can you just choke up a little bit? Can you pretend to cry like something more dangerous is going more serious is going on pinch yourself or something Sean H says Tim is alive Trump is alive the Democrats are oof troops are going in take back Baltimore from the criminals this Maryland man is happy it's a good day to be alive in America it is funny that both Trump and I were accused of being dead that's true people are like if I can't see you then you can you're not it's like
Starting point is 01:56:42 object permanence doesn't exist with half the country I can't see him he doesn't exist anymore. I kind of feel like Trump was just like, yeah, it's Labor Day. I'll take a couple extra days. Let's just get out here. I was in Bahamas my wife and baby. We did a little four-night getaway here. So I was pretty plugged out of the news, honestly. When I kind of sort of lob back on
Starting point is 01:57:00 this morning, I could not believe how retarded the story was. Like, I mean, like, you guys literally did not have anything better talk about over the holiday weekend. Completely. And that Trump is, like, dead. Did you see Trump's response?
Starting point is 01:57:16 The mind reels, honestly. I do not see his puns now. Trump goes, Trump goes, you know, I don't do press for one day and they claim I'm dead. Biden doesn't do it for months and they have no problem. He's totally right, totally right. You know what Trump should do is he should disappear again for a week, so they lose their minds, then come back. It was normal thing. Disappear for a week.
Starting point is 01:57:37 They lose their minds, then come back. Then stay for a few weeks. Disappear for a week. They lose their minds. Just to break them. So he can finally say, stop listening to the second. So it's the boy who cries wolf. If Trump does this three times, the goal I'm aiming for is that the audience members turn it off.
Starting point is 01:58:00 Because they're going to be like, Trump's dead again. And they're going to be like, you said this last time. And if Trump isn't around, then these liberal kind of creators have nothing to talk about. Right. Like could you imagine what happened of Ryan Tyler Cohen if Trump was just gone for a week? It's like Sam Cedar times 10. I'm sick for three weeks, and Sam loses 20% of his viewership and 75% audience growth. Ryan Tyler Cohen's whole channel is literally just screenshots of Trump and videos of Trump from the day.
Starting point is 01:58:27 If Trump's gone for one week, he's going to lose a quarter of his views. Trump should just be like, I'm going to take a month. You know what Trump should do? He should strangle them out by taking like two months with no press. That way all the liberals are just starved. And then there's no content anymore. There have no viewership. then he can come back
Starting point is 01:58:46 and they're you know the algorithm we've already forgotten them it's kind of like you know the bees how they will swarm the wasp and then vibrate
Starting point is 01:58:55 until it gets too hot and dies it's kind of like that like Trump leaves and then they they wither away like zombies in 28 days later slowly running out of food and emaciating before they collapse you know
Starting point is 01:59:07 starve him out Trump that's right I got nothing else to talk about what would they do who would they talk about well I mean I assume they would start getting crazy about J.D. Vance, yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:18 It would be like, oh, J.D. Vance is... A whole adment just go duck for one month. Yeah, they start talking about States. I would have said Elon a few months ago, but it's not Elon anymore. He's basically out of the picture. No, no, no. Yeah. As soon as he had a fight with Trump, he's like, oh, we don't care about Elon anymore. My local county counselor is a big problem.
Starting point is 01:59:32 Like, everyone's going silent. All right. Let's get, let's see what we got. 6.5, Jake says, welcome back. Tate killed at the last few weeks. Let's get a regaled Tate show. what do you mean like maybe you mean regular like oh a regular you mean oh regaled
Starting point is 01:59:50 regaled I was like an interesting adjective yeah is that was like regal like a kink yeah maybe I'll start a show called regaled the regaled show with tape we were actually planning this before I got sick we're going to DC and then documenting crime yeah and doing like a mini doc
Starting point is 02:00:07 but then I got sick so we didn't do it but maybe we'll work on that stuff let's see we got custom creations and remodeling says I'm 40 and just had my seventh kid one wife 16 years bravo that's what I'm talking about now look I'll tell you this communists they're really good at killing communists yeah they always have been historically like communists have killed more communists than any other group and liberals don't have kids so the prediction is going to be be a deeply religious future.
Starting point is 02:00:47 My prediction has been for the past 10 years, it'll be an Islamic. The United States will become an Islamic nation, as well Europe, will become an Islamic union. Because Muslims have so many kids, and even Christian conservatives, they have a lot, but they don't get anywhere near Muslims. Muslim fertility is actually kind of close to evangelicals and Catholics. It's like 2.4, and we're at like 2.2, 2.1. Because after one generation, they drop back down, usually. I think, I think in the United States. States. Yeah, maybe when you Americanize.
Starting point is 02:01:16 Yeah, so just like the first generation, they're probably popping out 20. But after the first one, they go to school, and they're like, oh, I can just play Fortnite. That's funny, because that was like a gag. My brother was pitching me a long time ago where it's like sleeper sell terrorists sneak into the southern border. And they're like, they have a plan to commit an act of terror. But four years later, after like the Biden admin, they're just fat non-welfare.
Starting point is 02:01:41 and they're like sitting on their couch overweight and they get a call from their handler in Iran or whatever and he's like, are you prepared to carry the plan and they're like, uh, uh, and they're like shoveling through Dorito bags to like try and find their paperwork. Yeah, where were we? Let's do this. But your general point, Tim, is totally right.
Starting point is 02:02:00 There was actually a Financial Times article. It was a funny, it was kind of funny when he tweeted out. He was like lamenting. He was like, my fellow progressives, you are sacrificing the future to these scary conservatives there. I mean, start having children, and it's like, well, that's kind of like not, you know, that's kind of like embedded in the notion of being a progressive is like you're going to like abort your own kids, you're probably not going to get married, et cetera, et cetera. Think of all the climate change. Right, exactly, exactly.
Starting point is 02:02:24 You can't have kids. Right. Yeah. So scary. Bad for the earth. Bad for the earth. It's bad for the earth. They're going to do, they're probably going to end up right wingers, you know, considering all the garbage that's on the internet.
Starting point is 02:02:34 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. have kids, that's a terrible idea.
Starting point is 02:02:36 Yeah, yeah. I mean, it would help society and help the human race, but that's not important. Saving the trees are important. I can't, I, it blows my mind. I can't imagine why it's so important to these people to
Starting point is 02:02:50 save the earth and be environmentalists if there are no humans to see it. Like, human beings are the reason to save the environment, right? I mean, I imagine. It's just paganism. I mean, this is literally just like OG paganism. Is worship of the earth and the trees and the flowers and, you know, I mean, when you, when you reject Genesis 127, like the foundational underpinning of Western civilization, that man is unique because man is made in the image of God.
Starting point is 02:03:19 When you reject that, it's all downhill from there, like everything.
