BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. Donald Trump will impose a 104 percent tariff on China taking effect at 1201 a.m.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is apocalyptic levels of of tariffs on China.
This basically means that all these Chinese made goods in the United States.
Good luck getting them.
It's not just more than doubling the cost of goods imported from China. But if any components
go to China and back or any resources bounce between the two countries, it's going to be even
more expensive than that. Understand a large portion of the products we have in the United
States we do not make here. They are made in China. So this is an economic, a global trade
nuclear bomb. Donald Trump warned China to back down. They said, no,
he is going to nuke a large portion of their economy overnight if this takes effect.
So it's going to get big. We'll talk about that. Plus, the Supreme Court has technically sided
with Trump. They said that he can deport people under the Alien Enemies Act, but every single
individual must get a hearing, which means
it's going to be impossible to deport 10 million people. Just not never going to happen. Now,
the big controversy here is that Amy Coney Barrett has sided with the liberals once again.
And Ann Coulter is now saying to stop voting for women and stop appointing women to anything ever.
And sure, we'll talk about that. Plus, ladies and gentlemen, last night I was not here.
The show was hosted by Phil as I was in a meeting with the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
There were several other personalities there. Many of their names have been released.
And considering that is the fact, people such as Molly Hemingway, Bethany Mandel, Dave Rubin were there as well.
And, you know, I want to say it was supposed to be what's called Chatham House rules. But when they do these White House influencer meetings and none of these people
know what Chatham House rules means, don't be surprised when the entire meeting is leaked to
the press and everything's all wrong. So for those that aren't familiar, it basically means
you don't talk about whoever's there, whatever information you get is on background and you do
not attribute it to anyone.
If you need an on the record source, they provide one to you where they say we will get a statement to you from an official who can clarify what this means and give you a different quote. But effectively expressing that idea following this, there's fake news.
They're posting fake news about me. So we will talk about the conversation that I had with the prime minister and as well
as many other people that were there. We asked several questions, many of it, much of it pertaining
to the deep state, potential war with Iran, as well as influence operations. Once again, I will
state there's a lot of people spreading fake news claiming that I said Qatar was funding influence
operations. That is fake news. It's not true. But we'll get into all that, my friends. Before we get started, head over to TNUSA.com slash Tim. Tax Network USA

Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Cam Higby. Nice to meet you guys. I am a
political journalist, commentator, debater, and regular punching bag of the left. You can find me
on any social media platform at camhigby or on todayisamerica.com. Right on. Thanks for hanging
out. That was easy enough. Mary's here. Hi, I'm Mary Morgan. You can usually find me on Pop Culture Crisis here at TimCast, but I'm
happy to be back. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy
metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Let's go. Here's the
news from CBS. White House says 104% tariff on China will take effect Wednesday. Yo, heads up,
everybody. I'm willing to bet that if you walk into your kitchen, if you walk into your bathroom and
you look at everything, it's all made in China.
CBS News reports starting tomorrow, the White House will begin collecting steep levies on
imported goods from China as President Trump follows through on a threat issued against
Beijing on Truth Social Monday.
Mr. Trump on Monday threatened to slap an additional 50 percent
tariff on all imports from China if the nation said it would impose a 34 percent import fee on
American products. China's retaliatory move came after Mr. Trump said China would face a 34 percent
tariff on all goods imported to the U.S., a rate tailored specifically to China. Trump also said
in his Truth Social post the U.S. would cease all negotiations with China while proceeding with trade talks with other nations. China's commerce, commerce ministry
on Tuesday asserted that Beijing would fight to the end and take countermeasures against the U.S.
if Mr. Trump did not walk back his latest threat. So I did a quick search. They say 13.4 percent of
all products, all goods in the U.S. were made in China or sourced from China.
That seems pretty low.
But I suppose with over the past 10 or 20 years, you've started to see stuff get made in Vietnam or Bangladesh or some of these other countries.
So perhaps it's not as much as we realize, but still a large portion of our goods are made in China.
Now, here's where it gets crazy.
A lot of people don't know this.
You might buy a bicycle and they say made in the USA. If they don't tell you, all the parts came from China.
And then it comes to a factory or an assembly line where they physically screw the wheels
together, put the chain on and say, made in America. They don't tell you where the parts
are sourced from. So there have been NGOs, there have been activists who have been trying to source,
they've been trying to create a trail, as it were, saying when you buy this computer, here's where all the parts actually come from, because they don't actually all come from Korea or China.
This is a nuclear global trade bomb. I mean, if Trump does do this and we see companies panic and they probably will, because you've got at any given moment goods are about to make ports
on the west coast from china and that means as soon as they land as of 1201 that small business
is going to be told hey you got to pay 104 percent of whatever those goods are so think about computer
components think about vitamin c washcloths t-shirts whatever it might be that's made in china
it's going to come to shore.
The company that imports it is going to be told double the cost of that right now.
A lot of them are going to say they can't do it.
So I think we're going to see a lot of companies go out of business very quickly.
There may be panic.
This is bad.
But you know what's funny?
Trump's attitude is I will sacrifice so much to to to destroy the Chinese economy.
He's like, I think China is going to be well, well, way more damaged by this than the United States will be.
And Trump's not somebody you going to have the U.S. manufacturing base to start changing things.
We were selling PPE stuff to China or we were buying PPE stuff from China and China just shut it down.
Everyone knows that the vast majority of our
pharmaceuticals are are made in china there's all kinds of necessary products that are made in china
and whether or not you consider china a a rival or actually or openly hostile to the united states
doesn't matter these things are things that amer Americans need and we shouldn't have to source them from one country. Now, granted, we talk about Taiwan and the need
for semiconductors for national security because of the military's reliance on them. And that's
true. But again, there is a there is a plan that China has that 2027, they're going to take back Taiwan.
They say that 2027 is the year.
And if that's the case, we've got a year and a half to start sourcing.
This is shutting down their timeline.
I got to bet.
I don't think Trump backs off this no matter what.
I think when Trump says if China backs down, he'll he'll not do this or whatever.
I think it's BS.
I think Trump is just trying to find a trade Cassis Belli so that he could cut off China and effectively implode their economy.
You know, I mean, China does have significant, you know, they rely on the U.S. for a lot as well.
And they've got significant problems.
They've got a lot of debt.
They've got an aging, significantly older population than the U.S.
Pardon me?
We have all those things, too.
Yeah, but I mean, China's got one and a half billion people.
We only have, well, a billion.
We don't know that.
Maybe.
They have way more than 330 million.
Didn't they end their one-child policy not too long ago?
Yeah, because it wasn't working so well.
But there are
reports that china's been lying about their population oh yep yeah but even still they do
have significantly more people than we do you know well what's interesting is uh like you said
13.4 percent of american imports are from china uh conversely uh 6.2% of American imports are from China, but 30 to 35% of Chinese exports are foreign invested
enterprises. About 10% of that is American. So that's going to be a huge, just based on the fact
that 30 to 35% of their economy, and that's one third of their GDP is based on foreign investors
and foreign enterprises. I think that's going to be a huge hit along.
10% of their GDP is exports to the U.S.?
No, one-third of their GDP is tied to foreign-invested enterprises.
Oh, and 10% of that?
30% to 35% of Chinese exports are tied to foreign-invested enterprises.
About 10% of that 30% to 35% is American.
Interesting.
And that's not even to account for the rest of this 30% to 35% could be countries we have influence over.
This is really interesting, actually, because let's think about it practically.
There's a company in the United States and let's say they manufacture lipstick or something.
I don't know.
Toys and video games.
Let's see.
They say that textiles, furniture, bedding, lamps, toys, games, sports equipment and other miscellaneous manufactured items amounted to about half.
Fifty three point two of U.S. imports for that genre
of commodities. In the United States, if you're selling baseballs and Trump says 104% tariff on
China, simple. You call up a company in Vietnam and say, can you make baseballs? We need a shipment
ASAP. We're cutting off China. In China, however, those factories walk in and say, you're all fired.
Yeah. We can't sell anymore to the United States. Nobody's buying. That's why I don't
think Trump backs off this. I think this was the play all along. I think Trump is trying to isolate
China. That's why these 70 other 70 other countries are negotiating and he's cutting trade deals or he
wants to. And this tariff on China is basically we're going to nuke their economy. Trump, I think he's coming in and he's basically saying we do not want a multipolar world.
There will be one power on this planet and it will be the United States.
And Trump's not going to back down from that.
I mean, I suppose that's that could be the goal.
And as far as economic powers go, there's going to be a lot of pain because of this.
And I'm not sure, never mind the economic ramifications, but I don't know what's going to happen to the party at all moving forward.
I don't know if Congress is going to allow this because technically—
What can they do about it?
Congress is who's supposed to actually enact tariffs and stuff like Donald Trump's not supposed to be doing tariffs.
He's doing it under a specific provision based on national emergencies.
I mean, yeah, sure.
Fair enough.
But Congress can get together and say, hey, this is not your – you don't have the authority.
Whether or not you like that or people will like that, they might.
I don't think so.
Two years though.
I mean we have pretty firm control of congress we have like i think there's like a two or three people there's a two two or three uh republican uh majority and thomas massey doesn't like tariffs
so you know i i could easily see a couple uh you know, vulnerable Republicans saying, I don't want to I don't want my name on this.
And don't forget the DEI Republicans that want special permissions for women.
Yeah. Who will who could seek out leverage and obstruct whatever they want.
And this isn't me saying that I want this or that I want them to to go against Trump.
I'm just talking about the realities in Congress.
And we've talked about this.
Like, you have to make deals because we have thin margins.
We have very thin majorities.
So we can talk about what we want Trump to do,
but you have to remember the reality in Congress.
People vote, the voting majority, it's not big,
and Republicans do not get in line the way Democrats do.
Yeah.
Well, I think like Tim said, a lot of people are going to outsource to Vietnam and I also think – or other countries like that.
And I also think that there's going to be a lot of skirting of the system.
I don't know how Trump is going to respond to it.
But like we just saw Apple fly in, what, five planes full of iPhonesiphones from india uh to skirt the tariffs and then in addition like i
just think this whole problem just wouldn't even exist if in the 1970s and 80s when all of our
corporations started moving to china india indonesia bangladesh whatever country it is
if we just said all right so you guys are moving there for slave labor basically you want to pay
people 10 cents an hour to produce whatever you have in a sweatshop. If we just said, all right, so let's implement a tariff on these countries that is a counterweight to whatever the difference in labor cost is.
But we didn't do that.
I mean, shoulda, coulda, woulda.
Yeah, exactly.
But now it is too late.
And now we we have the gun.
What I would say is, like, I think I think you look back at the 1970s and 80s.
It's like shoulda, woulda, coulda.
But the reason we didn't do it is because we were afraid of protectionism.
And like, you know, I'm not like this huge Raha protectionism guy.
But I think that we shouldn't look at a problem that could have been solved with this exact procedure in the past and say, well, we shouldn't do it now because of the implications.
Because that's what they did in the 1970s and 80s.
So, I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Obviously, I don't know what's going to happen.
I do think that Donald Trump is going to is going to stick to his guns. It's just my myms because of it people have a long memory and if this sets the the country into a recession people are going
to be upset i don't think their memory is that long they say that a month is an attorney in
politics so if trump does everything he's doing now and then starts changing the policies a year
from now and things start getting better he wins it's a of ifs. It's it's I think it's actually
rather simple. In fact, this is why it was so important that this is why it is so important.
They have the October surprise. You put out damaging information in September. Ain't nobody
going to care come October. You want to get all the bad news out against your political opponent
in October so that it's fresh in their minds. That's why Trump is taking these actions he's
taking right now.
It's as soon as he can, as soon as he can do it, he does it.
And he wants to make sure that as we go into next year, he's going to have some leeway.
And if he makes some policies at that point begin to improve things,
then people are going to vote Republican in the midterms.
More importantly, the Republican Congress can come out and say,
we turn things around, so vote for us.
I will say on top of this, however, before we go to the next segment, you know, we're screwed either way. Either we do
it now or the country implodes. Gen Z owns nothing and they are unhappy. A new study came out
purporting they did a poll of twelve hundred representative sample of the country. Fifty five
percent of left of center individuals are in favor of assassinations and political
violence. And this is overwhelming with the younger population who don't own anything and
don't believe they have a path toward owning anything. And it is the older generation that
is living longer and getting all of the political authority. So they they're more likely to vote.
So they get pandered to more often. The youth vote doesn't vote. So they're not getting it.
But the youth vote is getting very angry and they live in cardboard boxes. I'm being
figured if they live in closets in in bachelor apartments and they can't afford to have families.
A lot of guys are checking out young men. And this this means that our social system will implode.
I wonder if Trump is considering this as he's making these moves. I don't know. What I can say
is let's jump to this tweet from our good friend Kyle Kalinsky,
who hates you.
They hate the working class.
They hate the American worker in general.
They call you flyover states.
And Kyle Kalinsky posted this video,
which is going viral,
of factory workers.
This is it.
Let me play the video for you.
Here's a fat middle-aged guy sewing some shorts or some other shirt.
Some fat, obese American women sewing things.
Here's a guy making some bras.
Some white people making phones.
That's crazy. Make America great again, it says.
And the left is laughing. They love it. There's another meme that they share
where it's a guy in a mega hat wearing a ribbon that says fell for it again, who says,
wait a minute, there's a mistake. I thought I was going to own the factory and be rich as Trump pumps a shotgun and says,
so the effing socks.
This is what they think about you.
The American workers who work in factories or who wish they could, their factories remained
open that were outsourced to foreign countries.
The example that I've been citing consistently now is the MyPillow factory.
You got a bunch of workers, the MyPillow factory who who love their jobs, and they're making socks, and they're making pillows. And the American liberal is making
fun of these people with AI-generated memes, mocking the idea that Americans would want to
work a job that pays well. Well, I mean, I don't think that Americans would not want to work a job
that pays well. But I do think that the idea of returning the factory jobs, I mean, you were talking about this the other night.
I don't think factory jobs on this type of factory jobs are coming back to the U.S.
Why not?
I mean, you were saying the other night that you don't think that they're bringing back these kind of jobs back here.
What specifically did I say?
I don't remember exactly what it was but
we were talking about re-onshoring jobs and i forget who the guest was but you were saying
no gen z is not going to do these jobs because they have ego problems well i mean i don't think
boomers are already in the service industry gen z i think it depends on where you're sorry
well i mean i don't i don't think that that's necessarily true because Gen Z is overwhelmingly in the service industry.
You think Gen Z would work factory jobs like this?
Especially if it paid better.
I think the issue with Gen Z is even if you were to work one of these jobs, your ability to buy a house, to own stocks or any kind of wealth building doesn't exist.
I mean, it has been largely wiped out.
The challenge is if you're if you're a boomer right now and I know not all boomers are wealthy.
We are here in Appalachia, but overwhelmingly boomers own homes.
I think like boomers all typically own their house.
They are they own about 60 percent of corporate equities, stocks, and mutual funds and things like this.
Why are they going to sell it?
So what happens is a Gen Z kid might get a job at this factory.
Maybe it pays him $50,000, $60,000 a year.
And then he says, okay, I've got some money.
I want to buy some stocks.
And the boomer's like, I ain't selling for that.
I want more money.
I don't need to sell it.
I can liquidate.
I'm okay.
I've got my retirements.
I don't need to sell to. I can liquidate. I'm OK. I've got my retirement. I don't need to sell to you,
young man. And so that young person's like, even when I do have some leftover money, I can barely
buy any stocks that move the needle. So what are they going to do? I think the issue that we have
is not to say that all of Gen Z has ego problems. I think it's a spiritual problem. It's that. What am I going to accomplish?
Better yet, to quote the Simpsons, how are we going to catch up to the rest of the class by going slower than they are?
And that's the issue. I think there's going to be a let's imagine that nothing changes right now.
Everything that we're doing, we keep doing. Nobody has actually I've not seen anybody talk about the impending wealth collapse and and monetary collapse of the United States.
When boomers transfer their houses, when they die and millennials and older Gen Z begin to inherit these homes, the value of those homes will homes will drop by 70 percent or so.
It's pretty it's pretty simple. Ever feel like the news is just arguments or nonstop tragedy? Plus, who has the
time to keep up with it all? Well, I have a solution for you. Welcome, welcome to the Newsworthy. In
just 10 minutes a day, the Newsworthy keeps you in the know about everything from politics to tech
to entertainment using its signature fast, fair, fun style. No wonder
Harper's Bazaar, Fast Company, People Magazine and more have called the Newsworthy one of the
best podcasts to stay news savvy. Listen now by searching the Newsworthy in your podcast app
or go to the Newsworthy dot com. Well, math boomers all buy houses and some of them actually
have investment properties. I know not all boomers do. I'm just saying, like, I think it's like 90% of boomers own homes. 70 something percent of Gen X owns homes.
50% of millennials own homes. And it's some, I think only a tiny fraction of Gen Z actually
owns homes. A boomer owns, let's say they own one house. And that house is worth $700,000
because the prices are going nuts. They live in a suburban area outside of Chicago or something. They die. That house goes to their millennial kids who say, I don't want to move
to the suburbs of Chicago. I moved out. I live in New York. They call an agent and say, sell the
property. The agent says, okay, I'll put it on the market. Estimated value, 700K. You think a
millennial or a Gen Z-er is going to be able to buy that? Nope. How are they going to raise $140,000
for a down payment on one of those houses? Not going to happen.
So the agent says, we can't get any offers.
So they say, okay, well, then lower the price.
What do you think we can get for it?
And like, I don't know.
We'll put it at six.
No offers.
Five.
No offers.
Four.
No offers.
Three.
No offers.
Gen Z doesn't have money to put a down payment on a house.
The median 401k retirement for a millennial right now, mind you, who is 40 years old,
is $15,000 to $20,000.
You ain't retiring off that. And Gen Z, they have something like $5,000. If they do even have one,
I think only 30% actually do. And it's microscopic. So how are they? Look, millennials are
40 years old and they can't and only half of them own houses and they have no retirement.
The coming economic collapse is going to be worse than anybody imagines.
The moment the boomers start dying off, and I mean that with no disrespect, but when they start aging out and passing on,
and the properties and the equities and everything they hold transfer to the younger generation,
that wealth is erased overnight because no one can buy it.
And if there's no demand and no ability to buy it,
the price is going to collapse.
Right.
It reminds me of these practically ghost towns in Japan
where they're outside of the city
because this is mostly because of their low birth rates.
They, you know, these older people die
and they own homes outside of cities and they either don't
have children to inherit them or the children they had, the one or two children they had,
are not interested in owning those homes. And now they're just ghost towns. And a lot of Westerners
are interested in buying those homes because they're incredibly cheap. Yeah, I've seen some
of that. The solution is providing them jobs like this.
I actually think a lot of Gen Zers will take jobs like this,
especially the further out from the city you get.
I also think there's a problem with not teaching Gen Zers fiscal responsibility
or now even younger kids.
I have a lot of friends.
I'm Gen Z, so I have a lot of friends who just have either no job
or screw-around jobs where they're not like actually real jobs.
But if you provide them jobs like this, I mean, I'm from like the sticks in upstate New York on the Canadian border and everybody wants to work up there.
When I was in high school, everybody wanted to work on a farm when they're 14, like they're itching to work.
And that's not the same for the cities and the closer you get to the cities, it's not so much like this. But there are definitely Gen Zers, like I think a
high number of them that would take factory jobs like this if you put the factories in the right
spot. There's another scenario. What's that? When the millennials inherit the homes and then put
them on the market, BlackRock buys them up. Right. And then you will own nothing and you will live
in the pods and you will eat the bugs. You're talking about the factories being in the right places.
The problem is Gen Z wants to live in either suburban or urban areas so that they can have opportunities for consumption that are actually accessible to them because obviously they don't have the capital to buy homes and make investments.
The only consumption that's accessible to them is basically door dash and
streaming services so um they want to live in or near cities so are the factories going to be in
or near cities i don't think so i think you put them in places where the culture is working so
like i come from a mining town everyone not everyone i shouldn't say everyone but a lot of
people when they get to like uh like a legal, like 18 to, you know, they're out of high school, 18 to 25, whatever,
they go and work in the mines and they're happy to do that and they love it because they're making
good money, whatever. So you have to put them in places where the culture is to work. And I think
when you put the factories in those places, the town around it will develop on its own.
And it's not like a mine where i'm from
the mine dries up the town goes to crap but you know you know i think the issue largely is is that
younger generations start starting with probably to a smaller degree gen x uh to a greater degree
millennials to a great degree millennials and then to an even greater degree Gen Z, the older generation continually treats the younger generation like incompetent children,
incapable of doing anything.
So whereas a 22-year-old man should be either running his own shop or the manager of a business
or doing like a mid-level position with starting out as family, buying
his first home, having kids.
Today, in the news, in
the media, in our culture, they will say a 22
year old is a child. Like a 22
year old fully grown adult human being
and they treat him like a child. And so
we don't have...
How many Gen Z politicians are there?
I don't think...
A handful.
Who's that chick with the keffiye there? I don't think. I mean, a handful. People run for stuff.
Who's that chick with the keffiyeh?
Yeah, but she's not in.
So, I mean, is Jasmine Crockett?
Plenty of people want to try.
I don't think she's Gen Z.
I'm not sure how old Jasmine Crockett is.
How many millennial are there?
Plenty of millennials.
A greater number now, but I would say massively delayed.
And part of it is they say that when the.
Oh, no.
Justin Kroger's a millennial.
170 percent increase in Gen Z lawmakers taking office as of 2023.
But what does that mean?
Is that in Congress?
And how many of them are communists?
Yeah, probably most.
A lot of them, I'd imagine.
So, look, my view is when I what when you see these stories of 30 year old virgins, we had a movie that came out.
Was it 10, 15 years ago called The 40 Year Old Virgin?
And it was like, ha ha ha.
How funny of this guy who like never had it happen for him.
Now we have increasing reports that young men have isolated themselves and there's like early 30s virgin men.
You know, and again, I always mention this because Seamus Coughlin said based at that story because he's thinking it from a religious perspective. And I'm like, bro, no, only man should have been married at 22.
Only one. Only Maxwell Frost, who's from democrat from florida's 10th
congressional district he was first elected in 2022 at 20 at the age of 25 he remains the only
gen z member in the 119th congress to be fair i mean i think the oldest gen z is what 27 i think
so i'm not sure there's a good amount in like state politics i think think. Yeah, I'm looking at the state reps.
Largely what I mean is industry is,
like the boomer generation is not letting go.
And it's because they're living longer.
People used to die and retire much earlier.
Now the retirement age is getting pushed.
People are living longer.
I'm not saying this to disrespect you boomers,
but boomers are not letting go of their wealth and property and assets.
So millennials have accrued very little.
Gen Z has accrued much less.
And still, Gen Z and millennials look up to boomers who are past retirement age by now.
I think it also goes back to, like I said— Everyone forgets Gen X, by the way.
That's why I didn't mention them.
Yeah, well, we're quiet. Fiscal education in school, like nobody – another problem is like Gen Zers do have some degree of money.
It's not a lot, right?
But they're also not taking any of their money and investing it.
They're not taking any of their money and doing anything with it that will cause that money to grow over time because they're not taught to do that, which is a problem.
Because if you don't start saving for retirement until you're 45 years old, you're probably
not going to be retiring at the age of 65, right?
There's, look, let me just round out this segment by saying millennials can't retire.
There's no reality where a millennial retires.
None.
Me?
Well, I don't care.
I imagine I'll end up like 80 years old doing some kind of show to a bunch of other 80 year
olds going like, yeah, I was watching the news on the virtual thing today and i mean we're already
complaining about the kids so it'd be complaining about the kid on my lawn again yeah but uh
look man when i when i pulled up the data today because i was i was looking at the uh the left
the youth left overwhelmingly pro-violence and i saw that the median 401k for a millennial is $15,000 to $20,000.
I was like, all right, let's put that into wealth management with a historic return of
7% where you can extract about 3% without hurting your principal.
3%.
So you're going to have a couple hundred, 600 bucks or was that six?
Yeah.
600 bucks a year.
You're pulling 3% you get 600 bucks good
good luck 20 000 wow yeah you ain't going anywhere with that no people are gonna be
working till you know forever 50 bucks a month yeah till they're dead and uh i i gotta tell you
it's gonna be really weird although one thing thing that could happen is a slingshot effect
where when the boomers start passing on
and millennials all start absorbing
all of this wealth instantly,
all at once in a tidal wave,
and they're all going to be probably 65 years old
because let's be real,
I mean, people are living longer.
Instantly overnight, they're going to have access to all of this stuff they can trade it amongst themselves i guess and then
they'll just hold it but then they're not long this you know for this mortal coil and then it's
going to be just wealth continually accrued by the by the older and older generations
until the whole thing just breaks i I guess we'll see. Yeah.
Let's jump to this next story from NPR.
Supreme Court backs Trump
in controversial deportations case.
The gist of the story is that
Trump can deport these,
Trendy Arago and whatever,
under the Alien Enemies Act.
However, anyone being deported
must at least be able to get a habeas hearing, meaning
they can challenge their detention, which is weird. It's not a victory for Trump.
Sure, you can deport people, but good luck. You ain't deporting 10 million people
when all of them want a hearing. The court system will implode. And then they've created,
Democrats have created a de facto second class citizenship in this country.
On top of that, Amy Coney Barrett has betrayed the right once again, siding with the liberals to say, no, Trump can't deport people.
Yeah, I mean, Amy Coney Barrett is not a reliable conservative.
And that's not I mean, that's obviously that's that's one of the more obvious statements I think I've ever made.
But people shouldn't expect anything less because she has a history of not being reliable. And we were talking about this last night. The Democrats always you can always figure out where they're going to come down.
They almost never surprise anybody. But the Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett and sometimes Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
Well, not so much Kavanaugh, but sometimes Gorsuch surprises people.
And I really do think it's because they're real judges as well.
Ideologues.
Remember when Amy Coney Barrett was the evil Wicked Witch of the West, though, and she
was a Trump loyalist and everyone hated her.
Oh, yeah.
Ann Coulter says all the ladies, Republicans, please stop voting for electing or nominating
women for anything.
Will you never learn?
You know, I got to be honest.
Why did Trump nominate Amy Coney Barrett?
I think like Mike Cernovich wouldn't like Cernovich and Posobiec both saying like, oh, well, I mean, yeah, but Trump's a boomer.
Trump, I mean, when a lot ask Donald Trump, what is a woman?
The responses that he gave were all the responses that you would expect someone that grew up in the 70s 80s and 90s he said someone who's much smarter than me exactly exactly he did he was
doing the whole you know playing the well you know shucks girls are are powerful and blah blah blah
he was doing that it's because of his age it's because of when he grew up is he a feminist
i don't think i don't i think he's a feminist he absolutely up. Is he a feminist? I don't think. Is Trump a feminist?
He absolutely is, yes.
He is a second wave feminist.
He's famous for appointing, I think, the first female skyscraper foreperson or something like this for a contract company.
Trump very much continually puts women in positions of power.
He should stop doing that.
I don't think you have to be a feminist to do that, though.
But this is second wave feminism.
It is.
You go back to when Trump was a kid.
There were concerns about giving a woman the lead role in building a skyscraper.
Nobody would do it.
Trump did.
So you think that if to be to be considered not a feminist, you have to do things like say, no, I won't hire a woman for that?
Yes.
Well, really?
Yes.
Look at first wave feminism.
Women can vote.
Second wave.
Women should be in the workplace and running the show.
Third wave was when it got weird you know intersectional women now that's fourth now women are fourth or fifth generation or whatever i think it's fourth wave third wave was the
intersectional weird third wave was like all sex is rape yeah the fourth wave was women aren't women
yeah but the second second wave was literally give women leadership roles.
Make them girl bosses.
And Trump was one of the leaders of that.
Girl boss president.
Trump bragged about it.
I think he said the first person to put a woman in charge of building a skyscraper.
See, it's my intuition that Trump wants people to like him so much.
He does things that he thinks people will like.
And I don't think that it's about ideology. I don't think that it's about oh i'm a feminist and i
believe in blah blah i think it's all about people will like me if i hire women because people want
to see women in these positions not that trump has any commitment to it it's both because i mean
that type of second wave feminist ideology was really ingrained into his generation.
Maybe.
Something he wouldn't even second guess.
Let's take a look at this Wikipedia page that's pulled up.
Barbara Ress.
Let's see.
Let's go back real quick.
She was the first woman to oversee a major NYC construction site working with Trump.
That's amazing.
She helped build Trump Tower between
80 and 84. Is that what that says? She was born. Where's the where's the works here? Let's get the
where's that quote? Let's try and get the I don't care about her book. Here you go.
They just talk about this, blah, blah, blah. As Russ joined the Trump organization in 1980 and
then worked for Trump over the course of 18 years as a vice president, senior vice president and executive
vice president. Ress was hired by Trump to lead construction on Trump Tower as vice president in
charge of construction when she was 31 years old and helped build Trump Tower between 1980 and 1984.
Ress was the first woman to oversee a major New York City construction site and worked with Trump
on some of its biggest projects, including renovation of New York's Plaza Hotel.
Now, how did she reward two decades of service helping Donald Trump build all of these things?
She has spoken out publicly against Donald Trump, particularly about his treatment of women.
She released a memoir, Tower of Lies, what My 18 Years of Working with Trump Reveals About Him.
Indeed.
She apparently has gone on speaking publicly against Trump
and his treatment of women in opinion articles in the New York Daily News,
The Guardian, CNN, Rolling Stone, The New York Times,
appearing on MSNBC.
So that's Trump for you.
So what did she say?
Did she say that Trump mistreated her?
She described,
let's see, the Washington Post described how Ressa's description
of her experience at the Trump organization offered support for
Bob Woodward's book, Fear.
And at the time, blah, blah, blah, both
works described the president, a president whose
orders are not always carried out by those around him.
I don't know.
She's unfit for office, whatever. He also
really liked promoting female
entrepreneurs on the Apprentice.
And he has a history of, yeah, like being a-
I strongly feel like that's because he gets the pats on the back.
He loves powerful Slavic women.
Like I said the other day, he does.
Like I said before, he would, if the Democrats had kissed his butt when he got into office in 2016,
he would have switched sides in a second because he's a people pleaser.
It's not that he has some kind of deep or at least it's not my sense that he has some kind of deep belief that women have been oppressed and he needs to do this and blah, blah, blah.
It's about if I do this, people will like me.
So I don't consider I mean, maybe you can call that feminism or whatever, but it's not like he's got some kind of ideological disposition towards it it's just how do i get people to pat me on the back and say good trump i mean an
ideological disposition only insofar as he is a boomer and all boomers have that almost all boomers
have that ideological disposition there was that one story i can't remember exactly how it went but
uh he was at a meeting and like his lawyer walks in the room and it's this young busty woman or
whatever and the guys were like they asked him something about if she was good at a meeting and like his lawyer walks in the room and it's this young, busty women or whatever.
And the guys were like they asked him something about if she was good at her job.
And then he made a comment about her looks.
I can't remember the exact story.
Yeah, he said something like, I don't know, but look at her.
You know what I mean?
It's great.
That's that's that.
There you go.
So say things like that back then.
I wonder if Trump thought by nominating Amy Coney Barrett, it would be an easier confirmation because she's a woman.
It's kind of a win with the religious right because everyone was so excited about the possibility of overturning Roe v. Wade with her.
She did.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To her credit, she did.
But I think what's happened is over the past couple of years, she's terrified of being murdered and that, you know, some guy showed up to kill Kavanaugh.
I think she's freaked out by it and she doesn't want to do it anymore.
I think, you know, maybe maybe she should resign right now.
Then Trump can appoint somebody else.
I mean, look, if you're scared and you don't want to do the job, resign. If she got if she got if she resigned and gave Trump what likely will be three appointments, I'm all for it. I think I think there's a strong possibility that she is scared because you look at how
she overturned Roe v.
She voted to overturn Roe v.
Wade, and that was one of the most consequential rulings of our generation.
And now she's with with this ruling she did with the Supreme Court.
She only backed half of their dissent.
Like she's she's terrified to do anything meaningful at this point.
She's just like, please just leave everything alone.
Clearly, she's resigning.
Wouldn't realistically.
That would fill the vacancy.
Well, no, I mean, I'm within a point.
I mean, if she's scared for her personal safety and her family's safety, resigning wouldn't necessarily solve that problem for her.
Out of sight, out of mind.
I guess.
It's going to reduce it 80 percent overnight.
And then she's gone.
But yeah, I mean, I'm surprised that Trump chose a man for his VP this time around, actually.
Why is that?
A lot of people were saying it was going to be Tulsi Gabbard.
Oh, I don't know.
That doesn't make sense.
J.D. Vance made sense.
He's surprised for all the reasons we just listed, because he wants to be liked and he
thinks he would probably think that appointing a female VP is a way to be liked.
I would have described, I think I did describe J.D. Vance as like vanilla pudding.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's good.
Nobody complains about it.
He's like a donut, whatever makes sense.
No, I say vanilla pudding because it's kind of like this very boring but good dessert.
You know, I would change, I would revise that and and say as we've seen him act and engage
i'd now describe him as a vanilla pudding with sprinkles on top i actually think jd a little
pizzazz like astounding actually like i think it's fantastic great at he's great at debating
dessert do you think he is i mean i think he's like a big chocolate pie he's awesome oh he's uh
you know maybe another great another great thing thing is JD Vance is the embodiment
of the American dream.
He grew up poor in Appalachia with a drug addict mother, and now he's the vice president
of the United States.
Yep.
He put himself through Yale, graduated summa cum laude.
He's awesome.
He's probably, he's a homemade vanilla pudding with sprinkles and chocolate chips and whipped
cream.
Maybe a cherry as well.
He's probably more America first than Donald Trump is.
Yeah.
You know, he, when it comes like Donald than donald trump is yeah you know he when it
comes like yep donald trump is i think donald trump like he looks at the economy and and that
kind he'll look at that first whereas i think that um jd vance would say no i don't think the
economy is the most important thing the well-being of the american people is the most important thing
and granted they're strongly linked but they're not they're not they're not uh exactly the same thing look at the way he went on on zolinski and zolinski
started that for sure but like i mean he was ready to go and for sure i think he's probably
more america first yeah let's jump to this next story ladies and gentlemen as the uh i believe
what were these protesters pro-palestine protests hands off or something people began to throw
garbage from their building at the protesters
and we have the video.
Don't do this. This is super illegal.
So you've got, yeah, I think it's pro-Palestine
protests.
We are watching the video.
Garbage is flying
out of buildings at the pro-Palestinian
protesters.
This is in New York.
People don't really like these people.
It's bad to do this, but holy crap, is it funny.
Yeah, don't do it.
Super, it's like, it's like, it's like insane felony territory.
People could get hurt, man.
But they're getting drenched in garbage juice.
That's the worst thing.
You know, taking the garbage out and the garbage water comes out.
They're covered in it.
I wonder what they must be thinking
when they're like, people are throwing garbage on us as we
march. Do they think they're
doing something right?
Oh, there's
more! Wow, they are
hucking garbage at these people.
Holy crap.
You couldn't throw
anything. Yeah, they're gonna, oh, whoa, they broke the window. Look at anything. Yeah, they're going to...
Oh, whoa, they broke the window.
Look at this.
Yeah.
Yo, they shattered somebody's window, man.
That's not okay.
It's bad.
It's crazy.
It's bad to throw things out of high rise.
Trash bags full of frozen hot dogs.
I think that's a banana.
Man, that's messed up because the dude whose car got his windshield shattered, he's not a protester.
He's not, yeah.
That's just some guy's car.
This is New York.
Yeah, that's how crazy things are getting.
Well, I tell you what, man, people don't like these protests.
People are getting sick and tired of the leftist protest.
Phil, did you ever figure out what was going on in D.C. the other day?
We came out to D.C. to look at cherry blossoms and yesterday all of these
no on sunday everywhere sunday or saturday it was saturday it was the it was the it was the
nationwide hands-off protests there was that we're in charlestown too there was another one that i
think was were sikhs and they were not affiliated with the hands-off protest the people with
palestinian flags just kind of approached to them and acted like they were the same thing.
And then there were other like not even affiliated protesters who just wanted to like wear fishnets.
And yeah.
Did you see the video where the guy showed up to the hands off protests carrying a sign said free Diddy?
Our favorite sign.
Our favorite sign actually was it was a a couple um and it once said uh
make lying illegal and then their compatriots said uh trans rights or human rights yeah something
like that i'm just like there's a you're not you're you're complaining about lying while
you're hanging out with a person that thinks that trans people are real. There's another nation. Yeah, here we go. We got this nationwide anti-Trump protests are planned for the 19th.
The April 5th hands off protest, blah, blah, blah.
They're doing an all 50 state anti-Trump protest.
You know, whatever, man.
And that's how I felt.
I was like, I'm not even mad.
I just kind of feel sorry for you.
Well, you know, we were talking a moment ago about how Gen Z is listless.
But the funny thing is, most of these protests are boomers.
Oh, no.
I saw like old ladies with purple hair.
Yeah, it's all boomers.
That's what it was.
Trump stuff is, yeah.
It's all old people.
The Palestine stuff are younger.
Younger, right.
That's weird.
When I approached one group in Charlestown, I noticed that most of them were kind of gray haired old ladies.
And she was saying to me, oh, I'm so glad you showed up like we need young people, blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, honestly, I think you're kind of out of touch.
And I'm looking behind you and they're all these.
No offense, but you're older.
And I completely disagree with everything you're saying.
That should tell you something and they believe that young people are on their side too even though the young people aren't
showing up that should tell you something though the young people who are out doing the anti-israel
stuff they're leftists the old people are democrats right they're against trump but the
younger people are leftists i did a lot of work like inside these anti-israel protest encampments
and the second most common symbol inside of all of them. I went to Berkeley, Irvine, UCLA,
Georgia. And I think those are all the encampments I went to. The most common symbol on the inside
of these encampments is the hammer and sickle other than the Palestinian flag. That's the most
common, second most common. Well, how long until we start seeing people on the right join them?
That's a great question. Probably. I think it's probably already happening.
Yeah.
Under the hammer and sickle, you think?
No.
Well, I mean, the interesting thing is the anti-Israel sentiment we're starting to see from a lot of prominent personalities.
So at what point do members of their audience say, I'm going to go out and actually join these protests?
I think that that anti-Israel sentiment has bled into sympathy for the left, actually.
Maybe not sympathy, but a lot of right-wingers who have started being anti-Israel have adopted sort of leftist tendencies, I think.
They start to steer their audience in the direction of leftism.
Yeah, I mean, you do get a lot of the same kind of—
Don't worry, I got you guys. Here you go.
The real horseshoe theory.
I hate lumping these guys in with the right, though, because they're not they're not actually right wing.
Right.
And what is this?
This is so weird.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is funny, though.
The real.
When you say sympathy for the left, like which issues then?
Well, here's a great example candace owens um on her podcast
she debated i forget who it was but they were talking about um east jerusalem they're talking
about the difference between the muslim arab jewish and um why am i blanking armenian quarters
four quarters of the old city of east jerusalem and she's basically like i was there with the
rabbi who took me around and the signs signs say, no, Arabs can't leave.
They have to live here.
The Muslims have to live in the Muslim quarter, which is not true.
I've been to Jerusalem.
There is no division between the quarters.
There are Muslims wearing hijab in the Jewish quarter.
There are Jews wearing kippah in the Muslim quarter.
There's no division.
There's Muslim-owned businesses in the Jewish quarter.
And they sell kosher here and non-kosher here.
And the Jews buy it.
No division. in the jewish quarter and they sell kosher here and non-kosher here and they the jews buy it no division um she was corrected on that by whoever she was debating and basically told that she was lying she continued to repair that talking point afterwards but what she appealed
to is and by the way this is the woman who built her career on um you know the whole blexit racism
isn't real don't let people convince you you're a victim. Well, I just see that and I think of the Jim Crow South.
And, you know, my grandparents built up in that.
It's like that's not necessarily a left or right issue because left and right is an economic axis, not a social one.
That's not true.
What do you think?
Left.
So I did drop to you and I don't mean to be disrespectful, but left and right refers to the cultural tribes.
There's left economics and right economics. But typically in this country, when they say left and right, it it incorporates the components of the umbrella factions. Yes, yes, yes, yes. So so race economics could apply to each other. When you say right. The reason it doesn't make sense is the authoritarian right is not free market. But the libertarian right is. I actually tend to believe that there's no such thing as a libertarian left.
And I think that like – so when you look at like the actual axis of authoritarian, libertarian right and left, and we probably won't get anywhere with this conversation. But like generally in the past at least, and I agree with you when we talk about right and left in the United States, we're referring to tribes.
Yes. But like traditionally right and left is an economic axis.
The further left you go, the closer to communism are.
The further right you go, the closer to anarcho-capitalism.
I got to correct you on that one.
What's that?
The left and right axis refers to the monarchy versus the revolution in France.
Originally, yes.
So it wasn't necessarily economic.
It was power structure based.
And so left and right has typically referred to the
factions in opposition status quo of traditionalism versus progressivism. The reason why it was
associated with economics for a while is because the only real divisions we had were economic.
We largely agree on cultural issues. I would say there is a libertarian left and it's like
hippies living on a farm. You never hear from them. You have 20 hippies on a farm sharing
watermelon with each other. Nobody cares about that. That's libertarian left. It's like hippies living on a farm you never hear from them you have 20 hippies on a farm sharing watermelon with each other nobody cares about that's that's libertarian left it's
the problem was when they started massing into large numbers and then start demanding you join
the commune which you don't want to do then they become tankies sure but you know the action never
really made sense left and right economically because the authoritarian far right has nothing
to do with free markets exactly that's That's my point. And also,
conversely, the libertarian left, you cannot have communism or socialism, whatever you want to call
it, because depending on what parts of Marx you've read, you can't have socialism and libertarianism.
You can't have free markets or, I guess, liberalism in socialism, because in order to
uphold a socialist system,
you need authority to prevent capitalists from going in the woods
and starting markets in your country.
You need an authority structure.
You need a government to prevent all of these things they don't want.
They want to abolish money.
How are you going to abolish money if you don't have a government?
You need somebody to enforce the abolition of money.
Yeah, otherwise people will just keep trading.
Exactly.
And you can't do anything about it.
I would say that I didn't see the debate between candace and um whoever she was debating
but the interesting thing is the modern left today wants the jim crow self yeah that's the
problem that we all have with the left so you know if candace is saying she does i don't know if you
look whatever i don't know if she, look, whatever,
I don't know exactly what she said
about the separation or whatever,
but in a general manner saying,
I look at separation and I think of the Jim Crow South
is a critique of the left today.
Right, but this, so the left today
wants the Jim Crow South in a different context.
They want it where – No, no.
You think it's the same –
What's the guy's name?
Derek Bell, I think his name was.
What are you –
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was that his name?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Derek Bell.
He's the civil rights activist lawyer who was one of the principal authors of critical race theory
who argued that Plessy versus Ferguson was decided
wrong and that, yeah, segregation should remain and all of those things. Many of these individuals
have argued that. So during the BLM protests, during the Michael Brown protests before like
all the Trayvon Martin stuff, they had a letter they were circulating that outright said the end
of segregation was a mistake because it forced black owned businesses, which were smaller in wealth
underneath the white industries and segregation was better because they had their own wealth,
their own luxuries. I've not heard this. The most common context I've heard it in is like,
we want a black space where we eliminate whites from the space. And it seems almost like when
you see that photo of the water fountains in Jim Crow era,
the black one is obviously crappier.
And it seems like they want that to be the white one.
That's what I see the most common.
But I mean, I'm sure there are people
who want benefits for themselves.
But we just had Trevor Noah a couple months ago,
I think it was, or, you know,
he was arguing that segregation was a good thing.
And he said the problem with American segregation
was that the black people had lesser.
But if you had true equality in segregation,
he was for it.
And that's the problem with these woke leftists.
That's something that the college,
there have been a lot of college campuses
that have groups that are saying,
well, we need spaces that are specifically for POC.
There was the day of absence at Evergreen College in, I think it was Oregon.
And the point was to say it used to be where people of color and black students wouldn't go to school.
So that way the white students would notice their absence.
But it turned into they didn't want white people going to school on those days.
And this was happening in, I think, 2017, 18, 19.
This was before your average normie knew what woke was.
So the idea of segregation on the left is absolutely real.
There are a lot of people that want it. There are the quote unquote progressives and they're the people that, you know, if they're not moderated by government
or whatever, they would, they would be all for any kind of, um, discrimination against white
people because they, they look at it as, um, what's his name? The, uh, the Abram Kendi guy.
He was saying that, you know, the cure for past, uh, for past bigotry is, is not bigotry,
but, uh, the discrimination is discrimination. Now the cure, the cure for past bigotry is not bigotry, but the discrimination is discrimination now.
The cure for discrimination now is discrimination in the future.
I guess I do see what you're talking about sometimes, Tim, and I'm not familiar with the people you're referencing, and I'm definitely not contesting that it happens where people say that they want – they think Plessy v. Ferguson was decided wrong.
One of the principal authors of the book Critical Race Theory,rick bell argued this yeah yeah i i agree i know but
what i'm saying is like i think most commonly what i see is um sort of like a rebranding of
segregation they want this new segregation that's really the same thing uh but then they always
beckon back to um at least i'm talking about like the whatever like Gen Z leftists, right?
But they always still beckoned back to the Jim Crow South or slavery or whatever it was,
past oppressions, to justify what they want to do now.
And that's kind of a big problem I have with what Candace was saying and appealing to look
at how terrible people look like me were treated in America.
And now they're doing it in Israel, which just isn't true. And she's lying about it to push a propaganda.
Well, let's jump this story because currently there is fake news about me. So last night I
wasn't here. I got a late word that I was invited to a private roundtable meeting with Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was under what's called Chatham House rules. For those that are not
familiar, this means that you cannot reveal anybody who attended nor attribute anything
to any one individual as they can deny it. And they and they would. However, what I love about
what the White House is currently doing, when you bring together a bunch of influencers and
podcasters who don't know much about journalism culture, whatever you want to call it. Not that
we respect it tremendously. Most people didn't know what Chatham House meant. So with all due
respect, it's funny because they bring us into the Blair House, which is where Natyah was staying.
And immediately people are walking out with their cameras, their phones up. They actually took our
phones from us. And I legit thought they would maintain Chatham House rules, meaning you can't quote the prime minister.
You can't quote his officials and the other people who are there.
But you can report what was said generally.
If you wanted an official quote on a specific matter, you would then ask an official once the meeting was wrapped and they provide you the exact quote.
Or they would just say outright, like, we put our quotes on that one.
So the story that comes out, which basically violated whatever I was going going to talk about what we – like we went there for a reason.
This story from Jewish Insider says Netanyahu pushes back on anti-Israel trends in a meeting with podcasters.
I don't know if the individual who wrote this, Lahav Harkov, was actually there, but this is wrong.
It's fake news.
And people are now spreading fake news about me because I'm going to go ahead and say as arrogantly as I can to everyone else who was
there. I just I hope you all hear me because I'm saying this somewhat facetiously. I think I was
the only one that asked a real question. Now that I've pissed off all the other journalists and
individuals who were there, most people were asking what I would describe as. I don't know,
I felt like pretty obvious questions. Is there going to be a war with Iran? Do you think
the nuclear talks are going to be good? The Trump is going to be talking with you. Will it work out
for you? What's the concern? What's going on with your prime ministership or whatever? And you get
these answers that I really felt like you could have just got a Fox News. You know, the prime
minister is going to get asked about this stuff. He's going to say, I can't speak too much on the
nuclear deals, blah, blah, blah. Considering this was Chatham House and it was expected, whatever he said was going to come out.
I didn't see anything really substantive.
However, in the story, they say Poole expressed concerns about increased anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the pro-Trump podcasting space, according to sources in the room.
So they weren't there. Poole famously had Kanye West on his podcast and the rapper walked out mid-interview after Poole pushed back against anti-Semitic comments.
Responding to Poole, Netanyahu said that the reason he invited the group is to meet with him.
To me?
Poole argued that there is a Qatari op to manipulate social media algorithms to make anti-Semitic and anti-Israel episodes appear to receive far more views than, say, tips for picking up women, in order to incentivize podcasters and YouTubers to produce more anti-Semitic content.
Netanyahu, however, was noncommittal in his response, saying that's only possible.
Fake news.
How dare you, Tim?
Absolute fake news.
It's close to reality, but this is what they do.
OK, first, the person who was there clearly wasn't there.
Ask somebody who then conveyed incorrectly what I actually said.
I said there has been a report released from pro-Israel sources alleging Qatar is funding
bots and operations to promote anti-Israel content. Is there any evidence that's true?
And he said, I don't know. It's possible. That's what happened. I did not say they actually were
doing that because I don't know that they're actually doing it. However, I did to a variety
of people express what I've expressed on this show, that there are clearly bots that are anti-Israel, anti-Semitic.
That is not to say that people who are critical of Israel don't exist or that no one is critical of Israel.
People certainly are. So my concern was and I will say this, too.
Speaking about the meeting, how they discussed Iran, the threat and all of these things. I feel based on that meeting, and I don't know if this
was their intention or otherwise, that they are absolutely clueless as to what is going on in this
country. They are too heavily focused on kinetic on the ground Israel issues, which I can understand,
I guess. And my attitude and I and I'll tell you, I'll tell you one thing I said to them to these officials
in 10 years you will your support will be your support from the U.S. will be evaporating and
in 20 years you will not have U.S. support that's what I said so and I stand by that I don't know
you know when it came to talks about Iran, certainly there was a deep concern.
And the general conveyance from the Israelis was Iran says death to America.
You are their principal target. They are upset that the U.S. is exerting power in the region, which they want to exert.
So they're coming for you. Israel's an ally of the United States. Israel's an enemy of Iran.
Iran wants to crush Israel and they want to crush the United States. The sentiment being conveyed
was whether the U.S. wants it or not, we will be in a war with Iran, whether we start it or
they start it. I'm not entirely convinced that's true. And the point I brought up when I mentioned
the allegations, which they're allegations of, I don't know there's evidence of this,
which is why I asked, about Qatari.
Let me see if I can pull this up.
I think I actually have the allegations in question.
Let me see if I can find this.
Here we go.
What is this?
FDD.
There are people that are saying that Tucker Carlson is being funded by Qatar as well.
I don't believe that anyone's being funded by Qatar.
So FDD, this is the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, says Al Jazeera allegedly using bots to spread propaganda while skirting U.S. law. This came out December 9th. I did not
assert this was true. I said, is there evidence to corroborate this? Largely because what I see
happening is multifaceted. I've talked to enough young people, probably not enough to be completely
honest, but I've talked to young people. Where is this? They're here. We go, who are scared to call for the suspension of TikTok largely because of the
anti-Israel cohort. So typically the conversations go, the only reason Democrats and Republicans
want to ban TikTok is because of Israel, which is true and correct. But there's a bunch of other
reasons why we should force TikTok to divest as well. I see the younger protesters are largely anti-Israel. And I see right now,
there is no message conveyed to young people why they should support Israel. And I'm not saying
that I do. I'm asking them, what are you paying attention to? And I'll tell you this.
My having left this meeting is they are clueless to the issue. They don't know, despite the fact there was literally a protest outside, they were dismissive
of.
They say these things happen.
The trends that I see are younger people are increasingly anti-Israel, and on the right,
they're relatively neutral or don't care.
My prediction, as I made over a year ago, is that with the anti-war elements
of the populist movement on the right and the anti-Israel section of the left, not to mention
there is a smaller but still prominent anti-Israel right, Israel is not going to have support from
this country in 20 years. The U.S. is going to say, we've got two factions, young people on the
right who are following in the footsteps of maga populist
movement who don't want to fund foreign wars they vote no on israel the far left that hates israel
they vote no on israel israel you get no funding anymore that's what i see happening i think that's
fairly obvious when you talk to any uh you know zoomers they're clearly not pro-israel they look
at the united states and say we have our own problems here. And they look at our history of, you know, foreign adventurism and they're like, you know,
this hasn't worked out for me personally. I can't afford this. I can't pay bills or I can't
have a nice place or whatever. So I think it's fairly obvious, right?
I think, yeah, well, I think it comes from a lack of education on like how foreign policy
actually works and the fact that you literally cannot
survive in this world without allies. Ten guys show up to beat you up. Are you going to fight
them all by yourself? No, you need friends. What's that? I said Phil might. But like you see this
from people in Congress too that they just don't understand how foreign policy works. I think it's
really unfortunate. But the other issue to what you're talking about with like the lack of Gen Z support for Israel is there are no like pro-Israel
champions that I really see. I talk about Israel a lot. I'm a raging Zionist, but I don't see a
whole lot of other people who have like a firm understanding of the history and the context.
Most people can't make a cogent argument that young people find compelling as to why we should.
Which is why on the right, it's sure Israel can do its thing, don't care. And on the left,
it's down with Israel. So I actually, here's a question for you guys. Can you, honest question,
this is not a gotcha, because I'm asking for, I'm looking for a real answer. And for those that are
listening, comments, can you name a prominent, high profile, large following? I'm talking like
a podcast with millions of listeners who is staunchly pro-Israel, advocating very heavily for Israel.
Someone who's Gen Z?
No, anybody in the podcast space.
Dennis Prager.
Like Ben Shapiro is an obvious one. My point is, I'm not saying there's none. I'm saying
I can think of a bunch of big shows that are either Israel neutral or skeptical
and leftists who are anti-Israel.
Is Destiny pro-Israel?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, it is.
That one.
Okay.
Okay.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Like Ben Shapiro is the obvious one.
I had a notion that he was.
And it's a lot, and it's not a critique of anybody who is.
I'm just saying like, my point to these people was, hey, look, man, I'm on the internet all
day, every day.
I live, I live in the internet.
It's, it's, it's become a problem.
And all I see is i either don't
care about israel or israel is bad yeah it's because they don't understand i think destiny
actually is destiny pro israel he's i don't know uh destiny sometimes takes rational approaches
but he's the problem is is that destiny is probably the best defender of israel i've seen in terms of
debate skills but for anyone on the right it's just just like, oh, that guy's pro-Israel?
I better not be pro-Israel, right? So it's a problem.
He's definitely not on the right.
Look, the...
Yeah, anyone who's on
the right who's like, oh, this guy's really good at
defending Israel, he's also like a terrible...
He's an absolute horrible person.
He's terrible. He's the worst
advocate. He literally comes
out and says, you know, violence against Trump supporters is okay.
He knows they'll have that reaction.
But here's the question.
Let's cut out anybody over 40.
Are there young, prominent personalities of big followings who are pro-Israel?
Is Destiny over 40?
He is, yeah.
Wow, really?
I think.
No, I don't think so.
But either way, we've acknowledged Destiny exists.
Okay.
I'm just saying, like, obviously there's prominent who are older, who are pro-Israel.
I get it. My question is, in the next 20 years, who will be leading the charge to have the U.S. fund Israel?
Ever feel like the news is just arguments or nonstop tragedy?
Plus, who has the time to keep up with it all? Well, I have a solution for you.

Look, man, I got to be honest. I look at, you know, Sam Harris was ragging on Joe Rogan recently
and people have been ragging on Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson saying that they're entertaining
these positions, blah, blah, blah. Tucker is a bit older. Joe's a bit older. But these are big shows
and the people they're having on these shows of influence are either, again, like Dave Smith is a great example.
He says he's not anti-Israel.
He's pro-America.
So he doesn't want the U.S. funding it.
A lot of the MAGA pro-Trump people do not want the U.S. funding Israel.
So there's a tiny faction of people who are younger and in favor of the U.S. funding Israel.
It doesn't make any sense to not, like.
So what is the argument for funding Israel?
I think Aiden Ross is pro-Israel.
Is he really? I think so. I think Aiden Ross is pro-Israel. Is he really?
I think so.
Someone said Aiden Ross.
The argument for funding Israel is that almost all of the money we give Israel goes into their military.
So first of all, from a capitalist perspective, the best part of that is you're taking public dollars and re-injecting them into the private sector.
We don't give any money to Israel.
We give money to our defense companies.
They give weapons to Israel.
So the primary benefit of that is like a really good example is in 1981, Israel battle tested
F-15s for the first time ever.
These F-15s had never been battle tested.
They flew them in combat against Iraq.
We learned our F-15s were capable of long-range bombing campaigns against Saddam Hussein's
nuclear reactor.
They didn't lose a single F-15 in battle against Russian MiGs at the height of the Cold War.
That was great.
They were the first to battle test our F-35 Lightning IIs.
That's 40 years ago.
So what's today?
F-35 Lightning IIs are today.
Trophy systems and Abrams tanks.
They were the first to test them.
They were one of the first to test JDAMs.
So today they're still providing us with like the money we give them.
We are essentially just an R&D program for our military.
Look at like what they do economically.
The Leviathan and Tamar oil fields.
These are massive oil fields in the Mediterranean off the coast of Israel and Israeli waters. And a US LNG
company was able to completely take over those oil fields. It's called Noble. They're, I believe,
based in Dallas, Fort Worth. We made tons of money off that. We also regularized relations
with Arab countries in the region by selling them the oil um tel aviv is the
fourth biggest city in the world for tech startups we usually wait for them to start new tech
companies and then buy them that the technology that's in tesla's mobile eye it's called is an
israeli invention that intel bought sorry i didn't mean to but what how much how much money does
israel get every year from the united states? Like $3 billion, which is...
Yeah, the amount of money that Israel gets isn't actually a lot compared to the way that people talk about how much.
There are arguments that the Middle East wars that the U.S. is engaged in are all for Israel.
I'm not particularly... I don't find those arguments generally compelling, but that's something you hear a lot.
It's not very much.
If that's the case, that the wars the U.S. is engaged in in the Middle East are for Israel, and then you tack that money in, then you're talking about significant expenditures.
A little bit.
The other thing, too, is that money creates jobs in our own defense companies because, again, it never goes to Israel.
It goes to own defense companies because again it never goes to israel goes to our defense companies on the political side israel votes with the united states more than any other country in
the world and contested un votes 90 of the time it's more than canada it's more than the uk it's
more than anyone we consider to be a close ally so the the like what everybody's calling the woke
right who insists that israel is not an ally they're uh what they call it a detriment or uh
whatever right is they're off their rocker they don't know anything effectively they're uh what they call it a detriment or uh whatever right is they're off
their rocker they don't know anything effectively they're definitely not holding us back um they are
a very strong ally that gives us a lot of benefits whether it's on the political the military
or the economic in 2024 they got 6.8 billion yeah and ukraine got 6.5 the uh the the money that israel gets is is directly
in weapons so that money actually goes to u.s weapons manufacturers and so that money does go
into the u.s economy so i understand people make the argument well it helps the the economy i mean
no this is crazy i mean just even outside of the whole issue of israel
take a look at how much money the u.s is giving to everyone oh it's ridiculous dan got 800 million
nigeria got 770 million look at all this is crazy malawi malawi how do you say that malawi malawi
there you go see i couldn't even pronounce that one. $637 million. Here's my
pitch. We take all of the money we give to all these countries and give it to random firefighters.
Just put on a big pool and then just dish out a million bucks to every firefighter we can until
we run out. But a lot of this money is also to prevent, to put U.S. influence over these
countries, take a drop in the foreign aid bucket, give it to these countries so they're dependent on the United States and China doesn't swoop in and take them as a sphere.
It is.
It's the liberal economic order.
The idea is that if we maintain – if you tell those leaders, hey, look, man, you're going to be a millionaire.
You're going to have an infinity pool and every luxury car.
Don't go to war.
They say, okay.
And if they don't listen, then helicopter know uh you know helicopter flies in the middle
of the night and then they're not the leader anymore that's how it goes yeah well six point
so this is this is obviously not correct they got more than in 2024 ukraine got more than 6.5 billion
yeah that's how they're calculated how are they calculated right a lot of it was just like old
military equipment 2023 what do we get for ukraine what does this france
get out of here 2023 we don't need it go away 28 billion wow what did israel get in 2023 not 28
not 28 billion three three billion 28 billion what it's war. I mean, this war wouldn't be going on if we were not fighting it.
Yeah, I mean, that's...
Jeez, man.
Conversely, if we weren't funding Israel, the war...
Israel would still be fighting the war, and they'd be doing probably just fine,
as they've shown time and time again before we funded them.
But...
I think the principal reason that people in this country are supportive of Israel is for religious reasons.
A lot of Christians.
Evangelical, a lot of them.
Yep. And
it's fascinating that
I guess what
before
modern Israel,
what was there? What did they call it?
Mandatory Palestine or Israel.
Land of Israel, Mandatory Palestine.
Interesting. And then before that it was obviously the
Ottoman Empire. We were talking about this a while ago that there are people who are intentionally trying to create the circumstances by which Revelation happens.
Yep.
So we talked about the red heifers.
They're intentionally trying to breed them so that they can have them.
And some people—I watched this interesting little mini-documentary about Armageddon.
And they were saying that there are some people who believe that it's the book of Revelation, right?
Or is it Plur? It's Revelation, right?
I'm not sure.
They say it's singular.
It's the Revelation.
Yeah, which I think Armageddon means Revelation too, right?
There are people who believe it's predictive.
This is what will happen.
There are people who believe it is descriptive.
This is what did happen. And there are people who believe it is descriptive, this is what did happen.
And there are people who believe it's a, how would you describe it? It's a,
it's telling you what to do. It's describing... Instructions.
Right, it's instructive, there you go. And some people are a mix of all of these things.
And there are people with power that are trying to intentionally bring about the circumstances
from the book of Revelation so that they can force the coming of the Messiah, or they believe that when they
accomplish these tasks, it will happen. So I don't know about all that. All I know is that
there's people, they exist, right? They're breeding the red heifers or whatever. I don't
know if they're prominent, but I do believe when you look at the United States today,
it's overwhelmingly pro-Israel. It's like 70, 80% pro-Israel.
But I think if you go to look at the younger generation, it's probably split.
It's probably way less than that, maybe less than 50-50.
Probably general opposition.
General pro-Israel stance, too, is probably mostly people who just view it as a default thing.
Right, exactly.
I remember when I was a kid and abortion was a thing, I was just like, default.
Yep, I'm pro-choice.
Because that's how we ride in the 21st century.
I looked into it.
But I think that's probably the case for most people who are pro-Israel.
They're not talking about it.
Interesting.
18 to 24-year-olds.
A poll found Harvard-Harris, 48% support Hamas.
That's...
Yes!
That's what it says on the survey?
Do you support Hamas, yes or no? That's what it says on the survey. Do you support Hamas, yes or no?
That's what it says.
Young Americans have mixed views about Hamas.
Let me pull it up.
I am fine with people that are critical of Israel and don't like Israel.
But supporting Hamas is...
Harvard-Harris poll for March found 40% of Americans, 82 to 24, said they support Hamas over Israel.
I don't think they know what Hamas is. No, they don't, of course. i don't think they know what hamas is no they don't
of course like i don't think they know what that word means their charter literally says that their
day of judgment so like whatever the rapture like the there says the day of judgment will not come
about until the muslims fight the jews killing the jews yeah oh it's worse than that brother
when the jews actually in the hadith yeah it's a hadith yeah exactly it says that uh until the muslims fight the jews and every rock and tree will say oh muslim come there's a jew hiding
behind me come kill him there's a jew behind me come and kill him yeah that's crazy except the
tree which is which is a jew lover tree that one that one won't no yeah no read it yeah
yeah you know that one really bothers me because like all of these rules you get on social media
companies about hate speech.
And I'm like, bro, there's a religion that has like a tenet that says they have to kill another religion.
Like, come on.
Complete their religion.
We're not going to respect all religions here, dude.
Part of it also is that they have to lie to nonbelievers about what they believe in order to make them join Islam.
Well, I think they can lie.
I don't know that says they have to lie.
Okay. They're the same kind of comments about Judaism as well.
Like in the Talmud, I guess there's some really controversial things that are in there that people tend to cite a lot.
There's a lot of people that are in my mentions frequently being like, read the Talmud.
They hate you.
They hate you because you're a Gentile or whatever. But the difference between
that is that a Hadith
is the word of
the Prophet Muhammad, right?
That's what they believe Hadiths are. They are the
word of Prophet Muhammad, and the Quran
says that the word of Prophet Muhammad
is the word of God, and whatever he says goes,
and that's what you follow. The
Talmud is 2,000 pages of
rabbis arguing about what biblical law
says right so none of it is like authoritative and you don't have to follow it but the hadiths
you do one thing i don't get about like islam is like islam says that christians are polytheists
right they say that because they worship the trinity they say they say they're polytheists
but at the same time they say that muhammad is Muhammad is like the Muhammad's words are the word of God, word of Allah.
Yeah.
So that's the same thing, isn't it?
Or at least it's I mean, it's you think they view Muhammad as a deity?
No, I know.
Well, I mean, the way they behave, they would they would say they don't.
Right.
But but to an outsider, it looks the same as the way that, you know, people treat Christianity when it comes to the way that Christ and God and the Holy Spirit are one.
And there are different degrees of Hadiths, which is based on, I believe, like muslims fight the jews killing the jews is but it doesn't matter because there is a group that what was it 24 percent of uh
gen zers said that they support that does believe that 48 48 okay great even worse
yeah didn't i just pull it up where did it go i don't know it's here you go new york post uh it
says harvard harris poll 40 percent of americans age 24 say they would support hamas over the
jewish state making them the only age demographic for for which Israel did not enjoy at least a double-digit support over the terror group and the Gaza Strip.
Yeah, I mean, look, at the end of the day, Hamas is a terrorist organization.
And guess what's legal in the Gaza Strip, by the way?
And actually every other Muslim country that I can think of except Jordan.
Child rape.
You can marry a child.
There is no legal age of marriage in any of these
countries. And spousal rape is legal.
If you can marry a child and you can...
What does that equal?
Sudan has a legal
age of marriage at 10 years old.
In Jordan, it's 18. In the West
Bank, it's actually 18 as well, which is very surprising.
But Gaza never adopted
that rule.
Crazy. Wonderful. I guess we'll grab another segment after this, but my final but gaza never adopted that rule so yep crazy wonderful well that's i i you know uh i guess
we'll grab another segment after this but my final thoughts on uh this meeting uh
my my my view would be that man i don't know there's concerns over iran getting a nuclear
weapon trump is supposed to be having talks this i think think, what is it, Saturday with Iran that I don't know are going to go well.
And we're back in Bagram as well.
Exactly.
We're back in Bagram.
The general sentiment that was conveyed to us was whether we want a war with Iran or not, Iran is intent on destroying us.
So obviously,
you know, as expressed, we don't want war. We don't want war. But if these nuclear talks don't go well and they begin to work towards a nuclear weapon, they never said anything like there's
going to be war. But that was the general vibe of like, yo, no one's going to let Iran get a
nuclear weapon. It's going to get bad. I don't want war. I don't want to be involved. I don't
have any good answers for you guys. Sorry. The U.S. is going to do bad i don't want war i don't want to be involved um i don't have any good answers for you guys sorry the u.s is going to do weird crazy stuff and they're going to lie to us
the whole time yeah i was surprised when i read that the u.s was going to go back into bagram
it only makes the abbey gate and the pullout that much more infuriating that you know the
biden administration pulls out and we gave the taliban boatload of weapons. I mean, I'm not sure what the agreement is or how the Taliban plans to guarantee that
there won't be attacks on Bagram other than, you know, massive amounts of U.S. military
hardware pointed outward from the airbase.
You know, I haven't read this story.
Like, are they giving assurances that there won't be attacks?
I don't I don't know.
But I know I we don't we don't know that we're taking back bagram uh they said like a cia plane
flew overhead and did weird stuff okay which couldn't mean anything no yeah let's jump to
the story from the post millennial 55 percent of left-leaning americans say uh i'm not gonna read
this headline i can't read it but they're in favor of um hurting the president we'll put it that way only somewhat 55 somewhat justified it's 55 that are somewhat justified or
totally justified they combined it that's how they got the plurality or the majority actually
you're the bad guys guys yeah according to a poll done by the network contagion research institute
a growing number of number of people are fine justifying or even celebrate political assassination.
Yeah, this is this is what I'm saying.
Look, we were talking about Gen Z, not whether whether they would work in factories or not.
And we were talking about how I think the younger generations largely look up to the older generations like they're in charge and they know it's best, even though 22 year olds should be running businesses.
They should. That's the way it used to be.
Like you were 22 and you had a farm.
And you were the boss.
You were in charge.
You answered to nobody.
But now it's like Gen Z is just looking up to everybody else instead of taking the reins.
Millennials are no different.
I think that there's a general lack of purpose.
And what's going to happen is the younger generation becoming increasingly radicalized
are going to get increasingly violent because there's no path. And it's not so much about opportunity or the American dream. It's about
what are we even doing? Someone's going to find a way to fill that with orange man bad or, you know,
insert any other ideology. And then I think we're going to see young people in 10 years be espousing
their violent rhetoric and ideologies to younger generations gen alpha is going to be getting older and then you know bad stuff happens this is something i've been wondering
about why is it that they latched on to luigi mangione and started hero worshiping him but the
same response didn't happen for thomas crooks because luigi's a pretty boy. Yeah, because Luigi had it. I disagree. Thomas
Crooks had a more important target. Crooks had no motive, ideology, structure. He had no grievance.
We don't even know how he got there. Mangione said, I was living the good life and then I hurt
my back and it destroyed everything. And they kept denying me and delaying and so he went out for revenge and that was a an ideological
nothing about thomas crooks exactly uh bill burr said on jimmy kimmel are you kidding he said
something like are you kidding people are wondering why this happened that's why they
started worship but not to say you're completely wrong phil you know charisma matters the ladies
do want to want to hook up with that guy they still they started worshiping and like romanticizing him before they even knew who he was too
uh right because they had a you know a suspect this guy just killed a health care ceo like oh
he's definitely on our side you know what i mean and that's not a i hate republicans i hate trump
thing that's a down with the system i'm a leftist thing. And that's why they latched on to it. Now, here's the important question. The important question is age, in my opinion.
I don't care about the general left of this country. What people often completely overlook
in these things, the way described it is, how can I describe it? Imagine that you have,
there's a graph indicating your proximity left and right, where you are.
And in the 1990s, everybody was really close to each other.
That's what the Pew research shows.
Over time, the left and the right start to move away from each other.
What people don't understand is that the bifurcation among the younger generation is night and day.
And the bifurcation among the older generation is,
they're fairly similar. It's not that big a deal. Voting patterns right now reflect an older
generation in boomers, Gen Xers, and some millennials that are still somewhat close in
worldview. But as you get millennial to, you know, so some millennials, you get the millennial Gen Z and younger, the the the the distance between ideologies is is a chasm. When the older generations that agree
with each other die and pass on, they will no longer be voting. That means you are going to
have increasing hyperpolarization as the younger generations begin to take over these these
principal voting blocks and become the only voters.
This is missed by everybody.
Ten years from now, boomers are not going to be voting.
So their shared worldview among Democrat and Republican boomers, gone.
Then you're going to have far left young people, or I mean, far left middle aged people and conservative, moderate right wing people.
And they're going to be voting for insanely different things.
Yeah. To the point where voting don't matter. They're going to be like, I will not let you do that no matter what. It's one thing when in the 90s, everybody agreed in the 90s,
like everybody agreed on almost every single policy except like, should the taxes be one
percent higher, one percent lower? And should abortion be 15 weeks or 16 weeks? Now it's abortion for everybody, no matter what, or no abortions at all.
It is Marxism.
It is DEI or it is anti woke, anti Marxist, whatever.
The only thing holding everything together is boomers, for the most part, and Gen X.
When boomers stop voting, hyperpolarization is going to jump. The left-leaning Americans,
when they include elderly people who are anti-violence, look, another poll that we
pulled up a year or so ago was that they polled whether or not people thought a civil war would
happen in this country. Boomers overwhelmingly said it will not. Gen X, it was two to one that
it won't happen. Millennials were split 50-50, and Gen Z was two to one it will happen.
So just carry that sentiment as Gen Z ages and becomes older and starts entering the age where they should be controlling industry.
I guess the only saving grace that I can think of with that is the fact that young people are the ones that actually engage in revolutionary activities
generally usually if there's a if there's a revolution or a civil war or something it's
young men that are doing it and hopefully the people that feel like there will be one
age out of it before it actually comes to a head um but that is definitely a you know i mean likely
to think in black and white and grow out of it.
Like, I wonder what millennials would have said
had they been asked in the 18 to 24 age range.
Well, millennials, they wouldn't have thought that,
I imagine that they wouldn't have thought that we would have a civil war
because remember, they're in their 40s now.
So 20 years ago, you know, it was 2005 and it was a whole different world. It was a whole
different world. I think, I think so. The reason why millennials are split pretty close to thinking
there will be is because we grew up with a constant battle between left and right in a way
that boomers did not. There was to a certain, don't get me wrong. I shouldn't say that there
wasn't, there were certainly far left, but it wasn't as pronounced in the mainstream.
So when millennials are growing up, it was mainstream for the left to make prominent videos attacking the right.
It was mainstream for Green Day to make a whole album saying, screw America, F you.
So, I mean, I know that there was punk rock stuff and there was criticism of the government, but the mainstream was largely not this. I mean, look, people that liked Rage Against the Machine in the 90s,
95% of them didn't know what Rage Against the Machine was singing about.
Yep.
That's why there's that video that's really funny of a bunch of middle-aged white people dancing to the song Killing in the Name.
Yeah.
It's like, do you know what they're singing about?
I used to love Green Day.
Used to. I mean, I was to love Green Day. Used to.
I was never a Green Day fan, but I still listen
to Rage Against the Machine. If they come on the radio,
I'm not turning them off. I like Rage Against the Machine
even though I know that
ideologically we couldn't be further apart.
I still listen to Green Day, rarely on occasion.
In the 90s,
the 2000s, the 2010s,
I think millennials also believed
that political solutions existed because
the left was ascendant and it was like we're winning the battle for progress it could very
well be they elected obama they also have this fake civil rights victory of gay marriage under
their belt and they feel like they won up until very recently. The left felt like they were ascendant, which is probably why there are so many people that are, you know, young people that are that look at the situation and freak out if they're on the left.
If they're like leftists, like people like Hassan and stuff like there's not a whole lot of moderation coming from these guys.
They're they're really that's why Trump freaks them out because they thought they had a
permanent permanent victory and that was kind of the the vibe that that people had is like okay
now that obama's won now we can look at the republicans as a regional party you know the
the real actual action is going to be who gets nominated on the democrat
side because that's it's clear that that person is going to go on to beat the republican whoever
the republican may be and then donald trump came and changed everything i mean i don't know where
it goes from here but i i think the one thing that people just don't consider and i'll say it again is that
look somebody right now who's 17 years old will be voting in 2028
somebody right now who is 28 years old who's never voted before and doesn't care because
young vote young people don't vote will be voting in 2028 for the first time because beginning to
impact their retirements or something like this it's funny to me that whenever it comes to elections, people say things like,
how do we convince more people to vote Republican? How do we register more Republican voters?
And it's like, go to a freshman college class. They'll register tons of Republicans there.
You start signing them up, signing them up. They never registered before. They're 18. They can
finally vote. People aren't considering that a large
portion of the people who voted for Donald Trump the first time are dead.
In 2016, when Trump ran for the first time, how many how many voters did he get that were elderly?
And it's been 10 years and they ain't here anymore. So he needs to find voters,
which is another point which is interesting in the 2024 election because this means means trump won a substantial a large number of new voters considering many of the older voters
of what republican are aging out as we call it passing on expedited by covid indeed so absolutely
so how many so he actually won bigger than people realize because they're thinking of it like the body politic is a
static thing yeah not that it's constantly changing so trump is winning bigly with young
people that's an error that that i feel is like every group kind of makes you people think that
the the time doesn't progress and they they almost forget that you know there's going to be changes like as like I was just saying earlier, you know, the Democrats thought that they were going to be in control forever.
They didn't they couldn't imagine someone like Donald Trump taking, you know, getting being taking over the Republican Party and really changing what a Republican is.
You know, the the the Republican, you know the left thought the republicans were people like
john mccain and uh mitt romney and then donald trump came in and changed everything and that's
why the other day we were talking um terence williams was here and i was like look man you
know you don't know who can pop their head up there may not be someone obvious now on the
democrat side but there is no guarantee that the that the Republicans or America first is going to be in control for the next 30 years.
There's going to be someone that could or there could very well be someone that will pop up on the Democrat side and and be, you know, a fiery speaker or have influence and could really.
And you can't tell what's going to happen in the world either there are conditions that change i don't think there so uh there was a poll that came out
for who's the who's the for the 2028 election who who do you got jd vance had like 40 something
percent and stephen a smith had the democrat yeah i mean there's no one right now what
there's 100 no one right now that's that's obviously ascended. I'm just saying that it could be in four years or six years that someone decides because, you know, someone that's 25 now that's not in politics in five, six, seven years, they could be like, hey.
What I can say is Terrence sent me a box of sweet potato pancake mix, which I've been using to make waffles with.
And it is good. It's really good.
He sent us buttermilk pancake mix, too. But Allison's not doing dairy right with, and it is good. It's real good. He sent us buttermilk
pancake mix, too, but Allison's not doing dairy
right now, so we can't use it just yet.
But the sweet potato pancake mix
does not have any dairy in it, so I've been using it
to make waffles, and I would describe
them as based AF.
Very delicious. Very healthy, by the way.
Shout out to Cousin T's Pancakes.
And we used his blackberry. He sent us blackberry
syrup. Yeah, it's good. too sweet not too sweet only uh 10 grams of sugar and two tablespoons
so it was one-fifth of the dark maple syrup that we normally use cough syrup

stanley jr says with a new study of more and more leftists being okay with deleting their political
opponents i can't see an off-ramp unless they win it all don't steal my catchphrase. Yeah. Love you, Rick.
It's going to be like
these elections are becoming
increasingly more dire
every time where everyone's like
the world will end.
Well, considering what Trump is doing,
who knows?
The liberal economic order
is certainly being gutted.
Ginger McIsaac says,
here's an important fact.
Tariffs are the real tax
on billionaires and corporations.
They pay to import goods to the U.S.
It is now up to us to actually decide to make the ultimate purchase.
The elite are birthing kittens.
Okay.
Birthing kittens?
What?
I don't know.
Yeah, what?
Shani Twalder says, I already have Holo, so I can't use the promo, but everyone else should.
I can attest that it is great.
I use it daily and highly recommend.
Shani Twalder is such a good dude very very cool all right let's see we got over here
uh let's see i'm i'm i'm tempted not to read this because they started with i started this chat with
i bet tim won't read this should i read it i mean can you get away with reading it and not have any
kind of negative consequences
something wrong with the chat they're just saying i bet he won't read this so that usually makes me
say then i won't lose the bet yeah i'll lose the bet now they put 20 bucks in tony cliffs i bet
tim won't read this want to test your fitness check out eightlift.com set the example that you
would want to follow i just think that when people write i I bet you won't read this, it's like, dude, I get it. You're trying to
you think you're tricking me into reading your post.
Come on.
Derwood says, I'm a proud 48-year-old virgin.
Was engaged at 16, but my fiance became
pregnant while I was at college. She married
her baby daddy. Ouch.
Brutal, man. Sorry to hear it.
Proud, though?
Maybe he's religious. Yeah. Maybe.
That's the funny thing too because like the left
had this big meme where they mocked ben shapiro because they were like ah he's a virgin and he's
like i'm married and i have children and they're like well you were a virgin is like yes i was but
until i got married like literally everyone was a virgin well but they're like before not being one
this is the left believes that you should be doing whatever like a religious person
isn't defended by like i just don't understand what liberals are thinking okay ben shapiro is
a religious guy he's looking at you and he sees a degenerate scum monster and you're like you're
you're pure and he's like yes yeah that that's how he sees it i'm not saying he sounds like demons
yeah he sees a bunch of degenerate filth
going and throwing mud and he's like you this means nothing to me like your booze mean nothing
i've seen what makes you cheer snoop one two three says make 33 an hour and my wife works
paid 65k for a house not worth 20k between cost of living and uh and bills. We don't have any extra money.
We don't waste our money.
I can't get any house repairs for less than 10K.
Less the 10K.
Crazy.
One Wednesday says sweatshop jobs will not come back.
The factories in the in the US will be more advanced industrial.
It'll be a few high skilled workers overseeing large industrial sewing machines.
Yeah,
probably.
Believe Kaiser says,
Oh Tim,
most millennials already know we aren't ever retiring.
It works out for me because I don't want to retire.
I have no intention of retiring and I don't want to.
So I'll always be doing something.
It's weird.
People always ask me this.
They were like,
what are you going to do for
your retirement? Do you have a 401k? Do you have a Roth IRA? I was like, what do I need that for?
And they're like, well, when you retire. And I was like, what does retire mean?
When you stop working and then what do I do? And they're like, I don't know. What do you want to
do? And I'm like, work. You're a rare person who does what they want to do and it's what they do
for work. And that's not most people. i've only ever done whatever i wanted to do yeah most people don't because they need gumption
well i think you're just born with it or you don't have it for the most part what do you call
that talent or a realist a talent realist yeah like you believe that people are inherently born
with or without talent uh well i mean i don't think that i don't think that you're you're just born with or without talent
but it is true that you're uh born with the the kind of personality that feels like oh i can do
this or oh no i can't do this my father had a um he was he worked he was his own he owned his own business he had uh he would plow in the
winter and would do construction site work when he started his business his grand my grandfather
his dad was like don't you need to get a job you need someone to make sure that you're getting a
paycheck every week it's a terrible idea blah blah blah and this is in like 1980 my dad's like
look i just went and i made 200 bucks which is a ton of money and he's like yeah but what my grandfather was like yeah but what about you
know the next 200 where's that going to come from so it really depends on your experiences and and
you know how kind of how your your your intuition is you know or your your um what's the word I'm
looking for um anyways the the kind of person you are some people are geared for that and some people aren't and
it doesn't I'm not criticizing people that aren't you know like I said I mean I love my grandfather
but he just wasn't that kind of dude he's like I think you need to have a job and my dad was like
I'm gonna go and do it on my own you know you also run into a problem with Gen Z too where they think
that they're the kind of person who can make a job out of nothing like I'm gonna start a podcast
and be really successful because I'm full of talent.
But they're not.
But they're willing to do the work maybe.
But they're just not.
The talent's just not there.
It's usually not a podcast though.
I think the Gen Z men are like getting really into these back end like money making schemes or what they think are going to make them money.
They're like buying e-books and joining courses and courses
on how to make e-books.
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
There's a fast way to
make money and it's really simple
and a lot of people succeed in doing it.
We talked about this on the show.
Some super rich guy explains to me a long
time ago in passing. He's like,
what's one thing everybody wants? what's one thing everybody wants?
What's one thing everybody wants?
They want to make money.
Okay, great.
So Google search top tips for making money.
Find 20 talking points, bits of advice.
Put it into a 20-page book.
Sell it online through Amazon.
Run Facebook ads.
They're automated.
They'll optimize to sell.
Whatever it costs you in ads
per book sold, charge a dollar more.
Congratulations. At the end of the month, you'll have six figures.
It's all automatic.
It runs itself.
Tons of people do this. I'm not saying everyone can figure it out.
Some people aren't smart enough to figure it out.
But we've talked about it on the show before.
What I would say is
when I was, I think
when I was like 20 years old,
I could play guitar, and I can sing.
And that's an advantage, I suppose.
So I took my guitar, and I went out
in Chicago, into the subway, and I
started playing. And I made something like
I was probably getting like, I don't know, $10 an
hour. And then I got yelled at. You need a permit. You can't
do what you're doing. And I was like, what? Really? You can't play down
here. You need a permit. I was like, okay, where do I go to get it? Went and got one. It was like
10 bucks. Now I got a permit. I'd go on the subway and then I would play songs. If I played top 40s,
I would do like 30, 40 bucks an hour. So I was like, okay, I learned some Oasis, some CCR songs
that I liked. And then I started making big money. I was making like, I play for like an hour or two
and I'd have like 80 bucks and I go put in the bank.
Go to Wrigley Field after a game,
time the game, wait for it to end,
walk outside, put the guitar up, play top 40s.
You make like 200 bucks an hour.
Yeah, everyone's drunk.
But it's only for like one hour as everyone's leaving
and they're wasted and they see you
and they start singing.
There was a guy, so here's how it works in Chicago.
There were four train stations you could busk at.
It's called busking.
And it was first come, first serve.
So you go to the subway.
You get off the train.
You'd look around.
If nobody was performing, you could perform.
But there was this one guy.
I can tell you.
These people who want to get rich and don't know what to do.
He was a 5'6 black man holding a football.
And he had a stereo. and he would press play and it would play that nfl song and then he would just hop back and forth with the football
and like spin around with it with a bucket out for money and he got paid what she's laughing
people loved it and i was watching him and i'm, he's not as talented as me, but he's smarter than I am.
It's like Jordan Neely doing those Michael Jackson impressions.
Wildly popular.
All right.
Jump Daddy says, Tim, I keep seeing that evil Trump
is holding a military-style parade for his birthday.
Apparently he's been forcing the army to hold a parade
on his birthday for 250 years.
Impeach him now.
Ooh, I got
a good one. Michael Gammon says,
Hey Tim, should AIPAC have to register
as a foreign agent? Ooh, what answer
could I give that would make you the angriest?
Well, if you tell them no,
that'll upset them. What if I said
why should they? Yeah, there you go.
No, honest question.
Here's what I love. Hon question like what what is it about here's what i
love honest question what is it about wanting a pack to register as a like what what is it about
where were we okay here we go what is it about a pack registering as a foreign agent that people
care so much about because they believe that uh a pack owns congress and what would registering as a foreign agent that people care so much about. Because they believe that APEC owns Congress.
And what would registering as a foreign agent change?
Because they'd still be doing it, and Qatar still does it, but they do it with way more money.
Right now.
What does registering as a foreign agent actually do?
What does it do?
It limits—I don't remember.
It limits and puts up red tape for certain things, just like adds a couple of barriers.
But the problem –
It requires disclosure.
A registering under FARA would require disclosure.
You must publicly disclose your relationship with a foreign principal.
You're required to file regular reports detailing activities, finances, and political or advocacy efforts.
Distributed materials must clearly be marked as being disseminated on behalf of a foreign principal.
It does not ban activities, nor make you a criminal.
There's potential reputational risks for working for a foreign agent, and you may face scrutiny for doing so.
It does not ban any activities that you would perform.
It only requires that you disclose them.
Okay, then yes, they should register because it would change literally nothing.
And isn't Israel in the name?
Israel is in the name.
Are people confused about what AIPAC is doing?
They're buying elections, Tim.
I think, yeah. Well, I would say, who cares if they do or they don't?
If that's the case, then I'll say, yes, they should, because nothing changes.
Yeah, I mean—
They literally keep doing whatever it is they're doing.
I don't have any problem with them registering as a foreign agent, but if I understand correctly, they are a U.S.-based organization.
All their money is domestic funded.
And honestly, I heard somebody say this the other day, probably the best I've ever put it, is like, do you think the rich Jews in Los Angeles and New York actually want the shekels coming from Israel?
They don't.
They don't want it.
They don't need it.
There's no reason.
All it does is complicate what they're trying to do.
Yeah.
Hey, all right.
Villainous V says, except to my cat Merlin had to be put to sleep today.
Miss him already.
But I know he is terrorizing people by casting fireballs from the top of the frig to my cat Merlin.
Cheers.
Sorry to hear it, buddy.
Sorry to hear it.
Sorry to hear it.
U.S. Atlas says, Cam and I met when we were both doing political commentary on TikTok.
I stepped back to focus on growing my family after three and a half years of trying.
I am pleased to say my wife is 12 weeks pregnant as of tomorrow.
Congratulations.
I want to share the news with my friends and heroes.
Wow, congratulations.
Congrats, Bradley.
It is very fun.
All right.
Let's read this one.
Lurch 685 says, Cam, how do you feel about the idf
executing 15 medics or burying the bodies in a mass grave to cover it up yeah so i haven't looked
into this story um i've been preoccupied with other things i have a debate with uh uss liberty
survivor coming up on april 19th so i've been preoccupied with that uh that's phil tourney from
the candace own show but um so i haven't been up to date with this.
But if it's anything like the World Central Kitchen thing, then I would just be happy to condemn it.
But while also acknowledging the nuance of the situation, like the World Central Kitchen people didn't have the IR strobe they're supposed to have on their trucks.
They were driving armored vehicles in the middle of the night.
Israel blew them up.
Israel should have taken further steps to identify them and make sure they weren't killing innocent people.
But to be fair, it probably did look like a military convoy in the middle of the night. If it's anything like that, then I would just be
happy to condemn it and say that Israel are not infallible and they do things wrong sometimes.
But I think that when you look at who we should be friends with and when you rate countries based
on their moral efficacy, probably the country that drops leaflets, makes mass phone calls to
civilian buildings before they bomb them, sends out mass text messages, creates refugee zones,
roof knocks, and does all these other things.
I've heard none of that's true.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
Right.
None of it's true, even though we have the leaflets.
Like, these are all things that the U.S. usually doesn't do.
Like, there are some cases where the United States has, like, dropped leaflets, like,
over Japan before we nuclear bombed them.
But ultimately, these are things that most militaries do not practice.
Israel does it because they're so hyper-cautious about killing civilians and the narrative that's going to surround it that they do it anyway.
So, yeah, they're not infallible.
Sometimes they do things wrong and innocent people die and it sucks, but welcome to war.
400,000 people died in Berlin, Germany, but I don't see you condemning World War II.
I'm just – what do you have to say about the humanitarian aid workers that were killed in North Darfur?
Why haven't you commented on that?
Humanitarian aid workers that were killed where?
In the Zanzam camp attacks in North Darfur.
When was this?
It was in February.
It was in February.
And I got to say, Lurch, why don't you care about the innocent people being killed in Sudan?
What about the film of Genocide in the Congo?
Yeah.
You know, my point is, like, you want to come to me, ask me, ask me, Tim, are you upset about Israel aid workers killed in Sudan and the oppression in Eritrea and the journalists that are killed in Turkey and Thailand and all the other places where governments are massacring people where you won't like these people.
Guys, other countries exist.
I don't know what world you live in.
Uh huh.
Yep.
Bro, Gonzalo Lira killed in Ukraine.
Like, no, to be fair, a lot of the same people did call that one out.
That's fair.
I'll give you that one.
But it's like, I understand there is some conflicts have more, are more pressing than others.
We don't want to get entangled.
Israel is an ally, whether you want them to be or not.
And they could get us entangled in foreign war.
My point is, it's just, guys, the world is bigger than just the Middle East.
Okay.
Can we acknowledge that?
I don't I don't buy that they're going to get us entangled in foreign wars because we don't have a mutual defense pact with Israel.
We're not obligated to go fight for them if they get into a war.
And on top of that, it is ultimately at the end of the day, the decision of the United States whether or not they're going to enter into a war. You know, and there's one other thing that that people kind of neglect.
Like we struck the United States struck Iran when Trump was in office and killed Soleimani.
Yeah.
When he was in the first time.
The idea that the United States should the United States carry out a strike on Iran in order to take out a nuclear program.
That does not inherently mean the whole world falls into a war.
They can't fight us.
So like if we go bomb what happened after
uh sulamani got killed nothing that's my thing happened because guess what in order for iran to
fight the united states they're going to have to fly over the airspace of all of our allies
and somehow make it to the united states for a bombing campaign that war happened they already
entered the southern border four years ago that's true that's a problem that is a problem that's a
real big problem all right princy says how do tariffs play into thucydides trap if china faces economic collapse
from u.s tariffs do the initiate war with the u.s or taiwan as a last-ditch attempt last-ditch
attempt yeah i think it exacerbates it uh thucydides trap of course says that when a
rising economic economic power is about to supplant the dominant one war tends to break out
and uh with trump basically saying you're done
they may say firesy missiles don't know for sure though all right let's see where we're at we've
got uh ghetto i think it's actually myron gaines indeed i'm looking for his super chat
let's see it's just i know i could but I want to find it on the actual thing
so I can have it pulled up permanently while the chat still goes.
But
I think YouTube deleted it, Myron. Sorry.
You want me to read it? I got it.
No, I can pull it up. It's just not showing up on our list.
Why is it not on our list?
It's gone, right?
Yeah, look at that. It's gone.
But don't
worry. I know how to pull it up.
Myron Gaines says, this guest is low IQ.
There is zero American strategic
benefit to supporting Israel. Be nice.
They never get held accountable. We run cover
for them at the UN despite them spying on us
and being involved in multiple conspiracies
and terrorist attacks. Yeah, so Myron Gaines
is probably one of the dumbest people I've ever encountered
in my entire life.
We love Myron here. He's nice.
So we have common enemies.
So, well, he came after me first.
Yeah, Myron, you started it.
We have common enemies with Israel.
Israel has used the intelligence that they gather because they're constantly spying on jihadists
who, by the way, have legal child rape in their countries, chant death to America every single day.
They are constantly gathering intelligence in those people, those people who, by the way, want to kill you.
So Israel has thwarted at least three major terrorist attacks in the United States by giving us intelligence that otherwise wouldn't happen.
There was a huge terrorist attack that was planned for our diplomatic missions to Europe. They
coordinated with European intelligence to prevent that terrorist attack. ISIS wanted to disguise
bombs as laptops to murder Americans on airplanes.
They thwarted that.
And there was one other one, attacks on U.S. embassies by Hezbollah.
They foiled that plot as well and numerous, numerous, numerous others.
There's economic benefits.
We talked about the Leviathan and the Tamar oil fields earlier, which thousands and thousands
and thousands and thousands of gallons of natural gas were extracted from Israel, sold to Arab countries, regularizing our relations with those countries, bringing profit to American companies.
In addition to that, like I said earlier, number four place in the world for tech startups that the United States buys your Tesla drives due to Mobileye, which is an Israeli invention that Intel bought.
If your car has lane assist in it, thank the Israelis that you don't swerve into the other lane because you're a bad driver, right?
I'm glad I have lane assist in my car.
I thank the Israelis.
There are tons of other things like rapid resupply bases in Israel.
To say that Israel isn't a strategic ally is like the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
They vote with us more than any other country. online some of the biggest podcasts in the world are hosting conversations critical of israel
uh or outright anti-israel and outright uh anti-jew and the narrative is still that
israel is secretly controlling you well i'm just i'm like i'm wondering i'm like
i don't the argument is that israel is secretly paying podcasters or whatever and i I'm like, bro, the biggest podcasts in the world are all pretty critical of Israel or at least entertaining those conversations.
Why isn't Israel doing more?
I don't understand.
Maybe it used to be that way, I guess, and the argument is that since Elon bought Twitter and turned it to X, that's changed.
It used to be not like
you were always able to criticize Israel.
That's how these activist groups exist
and have always existed.
It's like Hassan has been around for a long time.
The dude hates Israel.
Well, he's going to argue that and say,
no, I'm just critical of their policies,
blah, blah, whatever, fine.
But the dude's been prominent on social media
for a decade.
He's open about it.
He hates Israel.
He doesn't hate Israel.
He hates America.
That's a totally different country. He's open about it. but people always say things like no no it's it's the
government they're doing the people we want to you know but whatever my point is when when
honest question when was israel running social media to the degree that they claim when you had
all of these big prominent leftists and the biggest gen z streamers outright just saying
like they hate israel and arguing against it all day every day. I've always argued for Israel. I was banned at a
million and a half followers on TikTok. Where was the Jews to come help me? Like, how did I get
banned? How did I get banned on a live stream ban on Instagram? How did I get banned on Twitter?
Where were the Jews to help me when I was doing all this? They don't run the world. It's the
dumbest thing ever. They spring up all these conspiracies, the USS Liberty. I'm debating
Phil Turney on April 19th. Myron, so make sure to
tune into that one. So
like the Levant affair, nobody
died. Look at all the
sketchy stuff the United States has done in terms
of like false flag operations in other
countries. I don't see you complaining about that because you're
an American. Israel does a false flag one
time that's confirmed. Doesn't kill a single
person. I would disagree with that.
They're very, very comfortable criticizing america it generally if if you're if you're uh pardon me not to the same
degree though the issue i see is does israel do bad things yeah uh does ukraine do bad things
yeah does russia yep does china yep does india yep this pakistan yep does eritrea yep does China, yup. Does India, yup. Does Pakistan, yup. Does Eritrea, yup. Does Malaysia, yup.
Does Singapore, yup.
China, oh boy, they're bad.
It's the obsession.
It's like the singular focus of people where they're, you know, like this is what I try explaining to people.
Like, I like Dave Smith.
He's a funny, he's a funny guy.
And he's really good at explaining why he thinks the things that he does fast.
And I love it when people try to get him.
When they try to like tweet at him or insult him.
It's like, bro, he's a professional comedian.
He's going to roast you, dude.
You're not going to be able to get a fat.
You're like, what are you doing?
When Dave makes his arguments from a pro-America
or libertarian standpoint, and he's critical of Israel,
it's in a way that is personable, logical,
calmly explained, and he's your friend as he does it.
These people insult you and they you know i
would argue that the anti-israel social media users like fuentes's crowd are the biggest pro
israel group i've ever seen in my life this it's and this is don't take my it's not it's not my
opinion they're they're actually a prominent conspiracy theory that Fuentes is an Israeli op because that's how weird it goes.
Because when he and his supporters go on social media and attack people, it pushes them towards Israel.
It makes them hate the people who are criticizing Israel, whereas Dave Smith don't do that.
Dave Smith makes you laugh and feel good and you're having a good time.
Fuentes' crowd comes by and they call you a bunch of names and insult you and post pictures about you when you didn't even say anything.
And it's like I get a wave of criticism because I was like, oh, I don't really care about Israel.
I'm like, aha, you're a Zionist.
And I'm like, I literally just don't care.
And they're like, well, as long as you think it exists, you're a Zionist.
And then they spam blast me.
And I'm like, are you guys trying to make me like Israel?
Like, I don't understand.
Because you're certainly not arguing passionately in a way to make me your friend.
Is it working?
I still don't care.
Like, I am America, okay?
Like, I am an American citizen.
That's what I mean.
I don't care.
You know, when they come to me and they're like, Israel did a bad thing, I'm like, wow, that's awful.
And?
Well, we should stop funding them.
Okay. You're a Zionist. What? It's like this is the problem with these people. That's why I think
this fervent Israel derangement syndrome really irks me. You can literally come on this show,
as I have, and libertarians, and say the U.S. should taper off its support, no longer provide military support for Israel and break away from this.
And they'll say, so you think Israel exists, huh?
And you're like, oh, my God, dude.
You have to be – these people are going around being like,
it's not enough to be critical of Israel.
You must be anti-Israel.
It's like –
That's part of the reason why Lindsay calls them woke right,
because they do a lot of the same tactics.
Yeah, but that's not what woke is.
