Starting point is 00:00:00 Dirty, Dirty Eric Swalwell, out of Congress, but maybe headed to the courtroom. What's the future for the disgraced congressman? It won't be governor of California. Today, 40-some-odd videos set to be released from the Pentagon featuring, quote, very weird UAPs, unidentified, flying objects. What do we find out today about whether or not we are on? alone on Wilcane Country. It is Wilcane Country.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Streaming live at the Wilcane Country YouTube channel, the Wilcane Country Facebook page. We're always here for you. On your time, at your leisure, by following us at Spotify or on Apple. Tinfoil, Pat, two a day, Stan. And hanging out with us today is the Media Fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
Starting point is 00:01:09 It is comedian Tim Young. What's up, Tim? You know, when you said that they were going to release 40 videos of very weird shit, I thought was more Swalwell stuff when you said that. Like, it's just been, Island on, man. It would just fit. It would fit that description. It doesn't have to be about UFOs. It could be about, I don't know, yacht trips to St. Tropez, which is one of the latest videos we've seen from Eric Swal. I missed that one. I have been intentionally avoiding all of those videos. I don't want to see him in any kind of compromising positions. But wow, when Democrats don't like you, they get rid of quick, don't they? Isn't that interesting? Eric Swalwell now, it has been revealed for probably well over a decade has lived the life of a frat boy. He has lived life at a minimum of a frat boy. The videos that came out about his yacht trip to St.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Tropez are not necessarily scandalous. They're just him meeting what looks like rich friends who were possibly shuttling prostitutes on and off of a yacht. Groups of six women at a time coming out on a tender and leaving. Well, you only have so many life jackets. And coming back with new women. And Swalwell flies commercial, to his credit, I guess. I see he's a good guy. to France, catches a Tinder out to meet his buddies on a yacht. But I would say among the things that are coming out in the revelations, those are some of the least scandalous. There are questions Anna Pauline Luna last night on Jesse Waters questioned. You've seen the video of him sitting on a bedside. Yeah. Unfortunately. Mugging with what some are saying as a prostitute.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yeah. And the question is like, who's taking that video? And there's some questions about whether that was an underage woman. So it's not just frat boy. It is possibly moving the direction of criminal. Okay, so here's the real, the real story in all of this, is that they had these videos, they knew these people were there, and until Eric Swalwell became a threat, everyone was happy to cover it up. There was a reporter, and I should have taken notes, who said that he knew about this for 13 years on X the other day.
Starting point is 00:03:00 He's a guy from San Francisco Chronicle, I believe, or the gate. And when you look back, I did the old Grock search and said, hey, has he ever mentioned anything about improprieties with Swalba before? No, not until this month. So it's clearly the machine. Look, I'm not saying that he didn't do the stuff. He obviously very well did. How many other Democrats have these files that the Democrat Party or whoever is keeping them?
Starting point is 00:03:23 They've got this whole setup ready to crush these people if they turn on the party or they go against the party interests. But why can't they just find good people? It's really difficult to say on that side of the aisle. But good people to take those seats who don't have a scummy background. Well, so listen. I would never go in front of a microphone and pretend angelic behavior throughout my life that the evidence would not support. I would not say that I have always throughout my life been a choir boy. That doesn't mean I've done things that have been done by Eric Swole.
Starting point is 00:03:57 All I'm saying is that most people aren't as pure as they would present to the public. And I think if you really dug under the covers of most people's lives, it wouldn't be conducive to seeking higher office. What is interesting to me about this is multiple fold, but on the note that you're putting together right now, I have to think, even if I had gone to Congress in my 30s, I wouldn't have behaved like a frat boy. I would like to believe I think that I would not have. And I will say, and again, I'm just limiting his behavior to that, which it's possibly much. worse, which I cannot identify with. My point is, what's kind of revealing, Tim, is he may not be alone.
Starting point is 00:04:45 This may be the beginning of a purge. There are others in Congress who treat public service a little bit like being a professional athlete. You've got some modicum of fame. You live in the D.C. bubble. There's scruppies. There's hangers on. And we've heard stories about others.
Starting point is 00:05:00 We've heard stories about people that go to Washington, D.C., and act like this. And in that, I'm going to bet you Swalwell wasn't alone. Who else was in those rooms? You know, his best buddy was Ruben Gallego. Oh, yeah. Now a senator from Arizona and was in Congress. I mean, they literally, I think, have described each other as best buddies. And, you know, you're not responsible for everything that your friends do. But I am curious at this point, what's going on? Like, is this a professional athletic locker room? Is this how it works in Congress? Have you gotten to hang out with a lot of
Starting point is 00:05:31 these people off the record? No, I will tell you this, Tim, really quickly, in my career and in people watching, I'm not a D.C. guy. I've never been a D.C. creature. I've never lived in D.C. And in some ways, you say, well, that doesn't make you very well qualified to know the inner workings of D.C. And I would say, granted, fair, my approach to this job has been as a critical thinker, I would like to think. Now, at this stage of my career, I do know a lot of people in D.C. Yeah. But I don't go to D.C. I'm not in the cloak rooms. I don't know the way that they behave. I'm like everybody else. I'm shocked to find out there was, you know, gay sex taking place in committee rooms under Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Yes, easy to forget about that. That feels like a decade ago. I know. Let's not forget that. They filmed themselves having gay sex in a committee room. Smart. Not just in D.C. That was a Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:06:23 We're presumably the next day they would be discussing regulation on the economy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, look, I have been behind the scenes in D.C. I am a D.C. swamp creature. I know it's very hard to believe. I've been to court jester in D.C. for a long time on the conservative side. So I've been around a lot of these people completely trash drunk.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I've seen them with, you know, the cover of television and being in front of the cameras turned off. And a lot of them are incredibly stupid and incredibly corrupt. There was a guy. He was, I think he was 70 years old. I forget his name. Maybe Pat or Dan can pull this up. He was a Republican congressman from Texas. He was on the Republican baseball team.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And he was an old man who was sending pictures of his junk to women. he ended up having to leave Congress with a flip phone. So, like, dude, and like he's the nicest old man. I mean, he clearly had been a member for a very long time. But, like, he was the nicest guy when you met him. And you're like, wait a second. What? This guy?
Starting point is 00:07:20 He didn't even have an iPhone. Nothing good. Like, grainy. He was sending grainy stuff. They had to decode it to get him out of there. But this is the kind of behavior. This is regular. There are a lot of alcoholics.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And then there are, I got to shout out, like, really, really good people. Like Brandon Gill, who looks like he's straight out of sense. casting with his wife and their beautiful family, and they are there for the right reasons, and they work out. If you are doing your job for your constituents in Congress, if you are truly working for your people, you don't have the free time to go mess around and be a drunk and be salacious and do all sorts of dirty things. And he's one of the very best of us. But the rest of them, I can't speak for a lot of them. So the other note that I think is very fascinating that you brought up is that this has never been a secret about Swal Will.
Starting point is 00:08:01 And we could discuss that on multiple levels, multiple angles of people that at the very least should have, probably did know about what was going on with Swalwell. Nancy Pelosi had to have heard. Other High Democrats had to have heard about the way he was behaving. Reporters knew had heard. And they said nothing. And by the way, let us just remember, it's not just that Swalwell was a member of Congress. It's not just that Swalwell was an anti-Trump TV star on MSNBC. Swalwell ran for president.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Yes. We forget that because he was in and out pretty quickly. But he stood on the debate stage, Dan. I know. In other words, he would have been an interesting person to vet. And at that time, no one had any interest in vetting him. They only had an interest in vetting him when it meant it could potentially cost him the governor's race in California. I'm going to correct you.
Starting point is 00:08:56 He's vetted. He's been vetted. Every time there's a person on a stage running for president, there's an oppo file on them. There's a massive opo file on them. I've been privy to many, many opophiles on people. By the way, I'm going to take the whole guise of me being a comedian is going to come off during the show, by the way. I've been handed these apophiles before. I've gone through them. They're like, hey, can he do anything with these things if you don't like somebody. They have this stuff. There is no, like, hiding. The moment that you declare, there are people researching you nonstop. One of my friends is one of the people who researches Republicans nonstop. He's a Republican, a conservative, who researches them. And so... Is that for usage in a primary against... Yes. Or other Republicans? Or is it... Yes. Say I announced for... I would imagine, say I announced my candidate's view for an office. I would need my own team to go out there and find out what is there on me. If they don't do it already. So I've been approached three times by one very large organization to run for Congress. And they have my file. And my file is pretty much empty. And they said, you're one of the cleanest people for as much of a
Starting point is 00:09:54 drunk as you pretend to be in public. You were a very clean person. I failed the bar 12. that's about it. And so that is all they have on me. But these files are usually pretty thick. Usually they will hire PIs to go around and dig into you and see. Do you think there's a file on me? I'm sure there are. I guarantee you there's a file on me. Because you're a threat, because you're a beautiful man on Fox News. And so they probably know everything. You'd be surprised at what they have. Let's take quick break, but continue this conversation with comedian Tim Young here on Will Kane Country. Welcome back to Will Kane Country. We're still hanging out with comedian Tim Young.
Starting point is 00:10:29 He's a media fellow at the Heritage Foundation. What would you get on me? I will tell you, I was reminded of this this past weekend as I spent some time in California where I went to college, drove through beautiful Santa Barbara, sat down for an interview on the Will Kane show with my old water polo coach, Terry Schroeder, who was a water polo legend. And he said on TV that his favorite memory of me was my one career goal against UC Santa Barbara. wherein after scoring, for whatever stupid reason, I flashed hookham horns. And I remembered as I was driving to Santa Barbara, that goal was redemption for me because my freshman year at Pepperdine, I got a minor in possession.
Starting point is 00:11:08 And I got in trouble in California, had my license suspended. That's got to be in my auto file. I was arrested for, what was it, telephone misuse, single call in 2001. I was working at a radio show, radio show, but I can say that. And they were making prank phone calls as part of the show as par for the course, you know, the old Howard Stern kind of thing. And campus police at UMBC came in and raided the radio station and arrested five people for one prank phone call. Wow. I wasn't even the caller.
Starting point is 00:11:37 I didn't even come up with the idea. It wasn't even funny. What's the bad? What's the limit then? I never got that clear off my record. I mean, if Swallow gets in with this. The limit on what? Like, what can you do that's so bad that they wouldn't lay you in?
Starting point is 00:11:49 I mean, what's his... That's a great question. There was a senator once. That's a great question. If there's opo files like that being built, why does Swalovan get as far as he did? Hey, there was a senator once who drove a woman off a bridge and she died in the water and he just let her die. And, you know, he was in for years. So there's no limit.
Starting point is 00:12:06 I know what you're talking about. It's a thing. So, I mean, look, you can burn her and they don't care. The Democrat machine doesn't care. It's weird. And I feel like the Republicans, even though we do have these files, we do not vet the way that that, or cover for, rather, our candidates the way that Democrats do. We will let our people get thrown under the bus very, very quickly. I have a special place in my heart for a notorious liar and whatever else he did, George Santos,
Starting point is 00:12:32 who we very quickly removed from the ranks of Congress. And if you can toss him out for just lying and probably lying less than Joe Biden never did about it. But fantastically. Oh, that guy. What did George Santos say again? Didn't he say he was on a national champion volleyball team, Long Island City or something? I think so. He also didn't he go to Harvard and then Yale and then Wharton Business and everything?
Starting point is 00:12:55 I mean, like, it was unbelievable everything. The guy is just a serial liar. But how many, again, you take a look at the file in Swalwell, and thank God he resigned from Congress. They kind of caught up with that because nobody was calling for him to resign from Congress until the very last moment here. It was just the governor's race because that's all that mattered to them. But we purged our own ranks. I really think Republicans should be just as bad as Democrats and just let our people go. I'd love for them to clean house, but that's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:13:23 So just let the people stay in if they're voting the right way. There is also one more thing I want to talk about when it comes to Swallowell that I just find endlessly fascinating, and that is the concept, the psychological concept of projection. And that should not be new for anyone listening. It's not new for anyone here. I would imagine sitting at this table virtually or in reality in that we talked about projection constantly during COVID. COVID became the biggest revelation society-wide on the concept of projection. And COVID and George Floyd. What I mean by that is those, it would, we would get constant reminders that those who yell
Starting point is 00:13:56 at other people that they are racist almost always turned out to be with a little bit of revelation, in fact, racist. Those that claim to be the defenders of science and true believers and reason and science ended up being those most dedicated to hocus pocus. And so projection is really, really fascinating psychological concept that becomes the biggest tell at the poker table. Yep. And Eric Swalwell was a Me Too guy.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Eric Swalwell was an anti-Trump guy when it came to the sex stuff. It should have been a big tell at the poker table that Eric Swalwell has this stuff. But that concept of projection is so interesting to me that I even force some level of self-awareness because I think the audience should be, well, what does Will crow about the most? What does Will say? What does Will do that? Because therein should maybe we look for Will's weakness.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Like, what is it that I am projecting? Because I think not everybody commits this sin. equally, but everyone needs to at least consider themselves when they think about where they're casting stones. I don't know how you're not in a cold sweat and not you, but how like Eric Swalwell, like talking about me too, isn't in a cold sweat out there other than he knows he can get away with it. He knows he's got the whole machine behind it. Like you and I, we do not have a media machine behind us to protect us. And we don't know how deep this goes in the Democrat Party or what they've promised him or what they haven't promised him.
Starting point is 00:15:10 But, you know, when you know that all the media is on your side, why not just say whatever at that point? Because for me, it's, you know, let he who's without sin cast the first stone. You know, so like I very rarely will go after people for moral things or being, you know, total drunks or whatnot unless they're like, you know, rolling cars. But in this instance, I think he knew that he was protected. And so, you know, it's, you can just say whatever at that point. You know, there's one more. I keep saying one more. One more.
Starting point is 00:15:40 One more drink. No bartender. This is the last one. Class one more. One more. Can't get enough of that sweet swallow. One more Swalwell shot. I was noticing something, and this is sort of just a personal observation in the past 24 hours, but it's like six days ago maybe, Swalwell put up this social media video wherein he's walking in California.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It could have been on the Santa Monica Pier. It could have been somewhere in North Carolina with his wife. Yeah. And they're talking about his endorsement. She endorsing him. It was a big endorsement. It was a big cat. For what, Heather?
Starting point is 00:16:15 Yeah. It's a hard-earned endorsement. Will my wife endorse me for governor? Let's do it on camera. She probably regrets that endorsement. In fact, all the endorsements have been withdrawn. Ruben Gallego has withdrawn his endorsement. I wonder if Eric Swalwell's wife has withdrawn her endorsement of his run for governor.
Starting point is 00:16:33 I wonder if Fang Fang has. I don't know. For whatever, where's Fang Fang today? I feel bad for her. Imagine drawing that short. Just drawing the short straw to begin with. And then to know you didn't even have to really do it. but everybody else.
Starting point is 00:16:46 They had a file on them anyway. That wasn't the worst thing. Yeah, what are the Chinese are a little behind the game here? You imagine, like when they're sitting around their baddies to, like, go after members of Congress and whatever. And, like, you draw Swalwell, you're like, oh. No, but it does show a little bit. Maybe the Chinese spy machine's not as adept as we thought. They didn't need to put Fang Fang into the field.
Starting point is 00:17:09 They just needed to get a little info on what was happening on the yachts on St. Tropes. Like, what's going on, Chinese? You don't have to do your own. They're not as good as we thought. Just get in and tap into other opo research. Check Nancy Pelosi's computer. Hack a couple emails. Figure it out.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Hacks some emails. She had three spies working on the computers in her office at one point. Who did? Debbie Wasserman Schultz sitting she had three, were they Pakistani or something at one point? I don't know. Just get people to hack the computers. You don't have to deploy thing thing in the field. Just do this through cyberop.
Starting point is 00:17:44 research. Don't have to leave China. Her driver? Poor Fang Fang. Yeah. Feinstein had her driver for like 30 years. Yeah, Feinstein. Yeah. Was what?
Starting point is 00:17:58 Was a Chinese spy. Really? Yes. Diane Feinstein's driver was a Chinese spy? Yes. Wow. For like 30 years or something. Incredible. I mean, again, they're sitting in Chinese spy school and they draw the straw to have to sleep with Swalwell. I just, what? Bing Fang,
Starting point is 00:18:15 raise your hand and goes, has anybody checked Instagram? Before I'd have to do this. Has anybody checked his Instagram? I'm not saying like, this is making me into like a feminist for Chinese spies. I just like, just I want better for them.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I want better for the women of China that are spying on our men over here. They deserve more. No, the observation of the last 24 hours I actually noticed it, I actually noticed it on Instagram, was this video of his wife endorsing him,
Starting point is 00:18:40 and I just sort of saw the likes on the people who had liked this six days ago before this revelation came out. And I noticed something and the likes because, you know, Instagram will show you people that have liked something that you may have in common. You know what I mean? Yeah. And what I noticed is that some of my old friends who were on the right that became NeverTrump liked Swalwell's video running for government. It is unbelievable, Tim, in that what I am noticing, and this is also not a new revelation, but yet another piece of evidence instructive is there was no breaks between never Trump and full on far left and it really is
Starting point is 00:19:16 fascinating like all the people lincoln project is a great example who sort of made their brand i'm so conservative that i will never support donald trump ended up being so far left like there's no tie between eric swalwell and your principled stand for conservatism against donald trump there's no reason, no tie, there's no nothing that would have led you to Swalwell. So what are you doing out here likened Swalwell content as he's running for governor? You simply said you didn't like Donald Trump, but now I know so much more about you than simply not liking Donald Trump. You seem to have taken the path all the way to the far left. Yeah, because Donald Trump politically, really, I mean, people say he's conservative because the scales have shifted, but he was really like an old-school
Starting point is 00:20:03 libertarian. Like he was more kind of middle social stuff was kind of up. in the air, but, you know, just trying to make sure that we save money, small government, limited government, and less taxes. So, again, if you complain, if you said that you were conservative or and that you didn't like him because of your principles and your morals or whatever, it would make sense that you would still be conservative. You would still be, you know, showing up at CPAC or whatever you need to do to prove your, your ground.
Starting point is 00:20:32 But like, if you're able to support Eric Swalwell or any of these Democrats, that means you're pro-abortion, that means you're pro big government. I mean, you were pro trans, pro everything. Yeah, pro terrible books and children's in elementary schools. I mean, horrible, horrible things that they all stand for now. Where were you to begin with? Right. You weren't a conservative.
Starting point is 00:20:50 You weren't even a Republican, I think, at that point. So I think I'll put a button on this in that what I think this entire industry, and this is perhaps edifying for the audience, what I think this entire industry, and I would include politics and the commentary on politics reveals is it for most of this industry, it is full of what is less than a D-List celebrity. The truth is most of us and most of those in Washington, D.C., are whatever is less than a D.List celebrity who aspire to be something greater.
Starting point is 00:21:20 And in their own little bubble in Washington, D.C., they can convince themselves they are not D-List. Because in that little bubble, there's groupies, there's hangers-ons, there's power, and there's the sense that you matter. And you can live a life like perhaps Erks Wellwell. Get away with it. Feed your ego with your anti-Trump appearances on. MSNBC, and that's how we end up with Swalwell. And by the way, back to the concept of projection, I think that you need to consider that
Starting point is 00:21:44 when you look at almost all politicians, all media commentators on politics. I think that's the type of personality you're dealing with. Yeah, and we can get into many, many deeper conversations about that and like the morality of a lot of these people. You know, now the rise of this influencer class of people. And it's like, what have you done before? And you take a look at the photos and things that they, how they present themselves and all the parties and the insanity, the lives that they live, and then they turn around and they say that
Starting point is 00:22:08 they're conservative. And that is an entirely different conversation that we can get into at some point. But it's disappointing to me. And I think, you know, just the general public, if you're consuming this stuff, you need to really do a little bit more research into who you're following. Let's take quick break, but continue this conversation with comedian Tim Young here on Will Kane Country. Welcome back to Will Kane Country. We're still hanging out with comedian Tim Young. He's a media fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Yes. And just a little more skepticism on their motivations. Yep. Because their motivations for a lot of them is simply their own celebrity, which is manifested through your attention. Yeah, mine is just money.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Mine's pure. It's green. President Donald Trump posted this yesterday. Yes, Patrick. We had a comment from John Morton, 6744. Oh, please will, look at all the stuff that came out against Christy Nome as soon as they needed to get rid of her. And that literally was just what, two weeks ago? Last week? So the comment is asking for consistency in our application of when a political party will use its information against one of its owns to get rid of them? I believe so.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Is that what the comment is asking for? Yep. Yeah. Well, fine. Okay. So what did we learn about Christy Knoem on her way out the door? We already knew about Corey Lewandowski. We already knew about the dog.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Yep. What we really learned was the stuff about the husband. Is that at the same time? And I don't think, I don't know how connected that was. It wasn't. Christy's exit. That leaked actually because the dominatrix or whoever he was talking to online found out who he was. And then went public with it.
Starting point is 00:23:54 That was really the whole deal with him. I don't think it was a timing thing on that one. I think the timing on her exit was the $220 million on the commercials when that came out, how much money she was spending on the commercials. But, yeah, they did kind of not play around with the Lewandowski thing. But the husband thing. To the comment, I don't think both political parties would do this. I don't think this is unique to Democrats that they would burn. However, I'm not sure that's the best example because I don't really know what they all of a sudden leaked and used to get rid of them.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I mean, the husband stuff isn't. No one even pretended like that's why they fired her. You know, that's not, nobody pretended like that was the big scandal. It's not her doing something. It was the money. It was the husband doing something. Yeah. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:24:42 So I think your point is well taken. Your example is poorly used, is what I would say to Joanne. Yeah. Yesterday, President Donald Trump posted this on Truth Social. It is an image of himself. He is wearing a white robe. a red shawl. He is standing in front of an American flag, a screaming eagle.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I don't know who the spirits are in the sky. It's like a power ranger behind him. They do look like soldiers? I don't know what that is. All soldiers. Sky behind him. Soldiers with wings. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Soldiers with wings. It looks like a nurse and some voters and soldiers around him. And then he's putting his hand on the forehead. Am I supposed to know who that man is on the patient? But I can tell you, so the guy behind him with the hat on looks exactly like Jose Andres, the celebrity chef who's a big leftist. Okay. That's a deep cut, but... That is true. He really does.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I know you're talking about. So he's got his hand on the forehead. It's lighting up of what appears to be some patient. And in his other hand, he has, like, the sun, a miniature sun, like a golden globe in his... But I think in the explanation, that's a dragon ball, and he's just dressed as a doctor and he's charging up like Goku to go against Friza. It doesn't have any comment. on the post. Everybody was upset about it because they said he's portraying himself as Jesus. To that, President Trump said nonsense. He did delete it, but he says because there was confusion,
Starting point is 00:26:12 that it was actually a play off the Red Cross and then he's a doctor. And so there's a lot of wonderful memes out there right now. Jesus knocking on a door and said, here's a picture of my doctor making house calls. Jesus, Trump, dressed the same way, walking into an operating room, sir, can we help you? No, I work here. All the doctors are, of course, in blue scrubs. Jesus sitting on an airplane, raising his hand, as somebody says, is there a doctor on board? Do you think they fire the social media guy who made the me to post it?
Starting point is 00:26:44 Because, you know, Trump has advisors on this. He's not just winging these. He's not just using AI to make photos of himself. Why does he post them? Well, he has smart. The original photo came. Trump danced and do that. I couldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:26:55 The original photo was created by Nick Adams, I assume, ingest. because he's a pretty big troll about those kind of things. So I think he just... But didn't he just get nominated for something, like U.S. trade something? Like a U.S. trade representative, Nick Adams. Yeah, this is a while ago when he made it, though. He's...
Starting point is 00:27:12 Who's famous for talking about how great Hooters is? That's where he kind of, like, struck gold for himself, was talking about how amazing an American the Hooters restaurants are. Again... Hooters right down the street. I thought he was...
Starting point is 00:27:26 Okay, we're not going. Sorry, Will. I know that was an invite. I know you finally want to hang out. You're like, let's go there. I didn't know they're still a lunch. It's lunchtime right after the show. I'm a Twin Peaks guy, all right?
Starting point is 00:27:36 I'm not a better selection of it. No, I, um, no, but again, like this is one of those things where you have a social media team of people who are very capable, or it should be very capable who know exactly what they're doing. And I'd loop this in with the, uh, the poorly edited video where it was like a meme video and then they went into the, uh, king of the jungle video where the obamas were monkeys in it. And they didn't, they couldn't cut out the two seconds because they were lazy. when they posted it. Unforced errors. And I think a lot of the unforced errors in this White House have come from their social media team. That one is different to me, Tim. And anybody's listened to me for years, including my desk and we'll say, Will is always an apologize for anything that comes off as racist. No, I just try to be a critical thinker. I do try to be self-aware. But here's the thing on that video. It was the last two seconds of whatever was the next video in their algorithmic feed, right? And they didn't edit it out. And they should have. And it did show the Obama's.
Starting point is 00:28:28 error as monkeys. Yeah. Which Dan and I, I believe, have had this debate. The problem with just jumping straight to you portrayed a black man as a monkey is that the entire video, as you watched it, was a playoff the Lion King. And there were multiple politicians throughout inhabited by various animals, including other monkeys, like orangutans and so forth. So it had like Biden and Pelosi. But it's an unforced error. Well, you say, but still. And at some point on the race thing, Dan, if you are doing a meme and you're making a video off of the Lion King and you are putting politicians
Starting point is 00:29:03 on various jungle animals and a bunch of which are primates okay? Is it racist to include the Obamas or racist to take them out? Do you see what I'm saying? If I am making a painting and it's full...
Starting point is 00:29:19 If I'm one different animals. Well, okay there was the... Hey, we were going to put them in there but all we had were the monkeys left. So we left them out. Just throwing that out there. They what? Those animals were not in the Lion King, by the way. They what? Okay, well, you're deeper cut on the video than I am.
Starting point is 00:29:35 There was ward hogs in there. The other options were, I think there was the wardhogs, and I can't remember all the other characters. But my point is, there was five different politicians whose faces were on primates. And so if somebody goes, well, we better not put the Obama's there because of this thing. It's like you're the one taking race into account when otherwise it's the neutral arbitrariness. It's a racial trope. It reminds me of the guerrilla. But it reminds me of the guerrilla warfare thing from ESPN.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Do you know what I mean? It wasn't intended this way. You created it this way. Yeah, but... And it took it out of context when it comes to that video to say it was what it was, which it wasn't. But when you have a team of people who are putting up these videos and they should be our best people in the White House, representing the conservatism and Republican Party, they should have eyes on this and know that the Democrats are going to jump on this stuff and have those two seconds edited out. We're always playing this chess. I don't think it's chess.
Starting point is 00:30:29 What somebody will turn something you say into. And it's just an exhausting game of chess. Well, I can make anything racist. You can talk about it. Anybody can make anything. Yeah, yes. But, you know, so then they should have leaned full into it. But no, just cut the two seconds.
Starting point is 00:30:42 That's my whole point is it's lazy. This is lazy and it's incompetent from the White House social media team. And again, like letting the Jesus photo go. You know. Yeah, this, okay, back to this. Yeah. And this, this, I don't find as many. explanations for this. I'm not trying to justify. I'm trying to just not do the thing that we all do,
Starting point is 00:31:05 wherein you leap immediately to your worst gut instinct, okay? I'm just trying not to do that on any of these issues. And, but this one is not very, it's hard to see justifications, angles, explanations, where someone was going, here's a good idea. It's just hard on this one. And, Riley Gaines said something on X. friend of the program, hosted the Riley Gaines show, and Trump kind of went after Riley Gaines. He said,
Starting point is 00:31:33 somebody asked him, did Riley Gaines' post inspire you to delete this? And he said, I'm not a big fan of Riley. Did you say you actually have that, Dan? Well, no, we have his explanation of saying that he meant he was a doctor,
Starting point is 00:31:47 not that Riley Gaines part. This clip is pretty. Okay, let's listen to President Trump. This is going to be good. Well, it wasn't a picture. It was me. I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor.
Starting point is 00:31:57 and had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. And only the fake news could come up with that one. So I had just heard about it. And I said, how do they come up with that? It's supposed to be me as a doctor. All right. So only fake news. How did they come up with that?
Starting point is 00:32:19 No. He came up with that. I mean, no. Yeah, look, I'll go there. I like him. But come on, man. Like, it's so clear that he's Jesus with angels behind him. him in that. Come on.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I do like, though, that he... And it's on the heels of going after the Pope. That's the other thing. This happened within hours of him basically saying, Pope Leo, he's weak on crime. By the way, that is the funniest thing. That line in and of itself is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:32:47 It's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Like, Pope Leo, weak on crime. Funniest thing I've ever heard. He's got a great wall and security there at the Vatican. Now, also, by the way, greatest giveaway, I think, in baseball history, at least in the past decade, they're doing White Sox Popats. They're doing White Sox Popat night in honor of Pope Leo at one of the whitesites. Nobody wants to go there. You might get shot in the parking lot, but you'll get a nice Popat. I think that's a good one, Tim. Yeah. Popat. But the Rangers are rolling out Nolan Ryan bloody shirts this year. Really? Red Sox do you. And Taco hats.
Starting point is 00:33:20 And Taco hats. Really? These are great ideas, baseball. Nice job. Yeah. Bloody shirt, bloody socks. I like this stuff. I love, though, how quickly... You go ahead. No, back to the Trump thing real fast. But before he posts this, don't you just think he's just like, well, whatever, we'll deal with the aftermath after? It doesn't really matter. I'm just going to throw this out there and just get it up there. He doesn't think of the consequences.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Do you think? No, because there's no upside. I don't think there was any win on this. I don't think anybody. I don't think it did anything. But he's smarter than that. And I'm going to tell you guys something. Are you Catholic, Tim?
Starting point is 00:33:56 I know. Me neither. So I got a text one of my best buddies One of my best buddies I'm just going to say this One of my best buddies texted me last night And he goes, he's Catholic
Starting point is 00:34:07 He goes Trump lost me That's what he said to me Yeah And then he goes me and 70 million Grants crew are out I'm like really you're the only The brunch crew was never in
Starting point is 00:34:18 I'm not interested in the brunch crew Brooklyn brunch crew's out on Trump Wow shocker Because of the Pope No this guy I love Trump, loved him. I haven't talked to him on the phone yet. Love Trump. Loved. But he's a Catholic. And now he's like, I'm out. It would be okay if the White House once in a while, again, I'm going to go back to this. Throw somebody under the bus that isn't Trump. Say, hey, my idiot social media intern did this. We got rid of him. And to the White House, and, you know, I'm not big enough for him to, like, comment on me like Riley Gaines. You know, like not everything has to be a meme. Not everything has to be a meme. We don't have to come up with a meme every day. We don't have to have memes about bombing people.
Starting point is 00:34:59 We don't have to have memes about, you know, Trump healing people or whatever. You know, how about we take a break? Just take a, take a breather, you know? Work on some policy. Go yell at John Thune. Go do something other than make a meme. Not everything has to be a joke. Not everything has to be funny.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Again, this is me, the comedian. Not everything has to be a joke. Let's just take a break, think things through, get rid of a couple of people from that social media team, and pull it together for the midterm. See, I'm, and I'm going to go to tinfoil on this. I'm, and I say to myself, Will, okay, have you lost your sense of decency? So this stuff is such stylistic fluff to me that has nothing to do with the substance that I am very dismissive of all of it. It does not affect me. Meaning, we've been doing this for well over a decade with President Trump.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I do not freak out about things that he says. I do not freak out about jokes that he makes. I do not. there is it's all it's all the catnip this is the catnip and the catnip is not good enough for me on when people i i encounter it all the time i was on this guys trip this weekend and playing golf and and a lot of the guys are like i really really really really like i love trump i just wish you know on the person i'm like when do you stop wishing stop wishing yeah stop wishing that he said things you didn't like stop wishing that you wish his personality was a little different you didn't wish
Starting point is 00:36:19 that michael jordan didn't gamble this is all one in the same it's built together You can't separate it out. And so if you like the substance, quit fretting over the style. It's built in. It's part of the deal. And so I'm pretty anesthetized to all of this. Like it distracts from the message. Because it distracts from the message.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Wouldn't you want it to not? It does annoy me. You know, like. Well, it distracts from the message to who? The people that already hated it most of the time, I will say I'm concerned about the Catholic thing because I do think for one of the first times, this has the potential to distract from people. that otherwise would be in on the substance.
Starting point is 00:36:56 But for the most part, this stuff is about further enraging on a 12-hour cycle, the Brooklyn brunch crew. And who cares what the Brooklyn brunch crew feels about President Trump's personality? But it is a distraction. And I just want them to be tighter with stuff. And they're just not going to get there. You're right. So, like, you and I are different than the average person in that we are consumed by
Starting point is 00:37:18 this stuff in the media constantly. We see it constantly. We're numb to it. We just really are. And so you're right. You get what you get with Trump. He's actually very, very funny. I just see this stuff as unforced errors when we lose the message in the media.
Starting point is 00:37:33 And I know we shouldn't be trying to win over the traditional legacy media. But you give them the opportunity to stray away from our successes when you put up Jesus Trump. Yeah, I just think. But the Normies, you have to think about how Normies look at it. Because you and I are in a different class of people, not in a higher class. It is. Yeah. Yeah, we're elitist media snobs, right?
Starting point is 00:37:54 And so we're bombarded with this stuff constantly. And so for you and me, it's like, this is just another day for Trump. What are you talking about? But for somebody who casually pays attention, they wake up one day, they decided to tune into that. Yes, the 65-go-old. I give you that. It is hard for the casual observer to get beyond the easiest thing to digest, which is the fluff. It is the personality.
Starting point is 00:38:14 It is the fluff. And say, hey, I know, I'm asking you to set that aside. But have you seen what's happened with net immigration? Have you seen that the numbers are down? Have you seen that refugee claims are down? Have you seen the self-deportations are up? Have you seen like these great wins that we have? Like set aside this because big stuff is happening that's really good. And I think we will have wrapped up Iran and be down to $2 gas again very, very soon. You do? Yes. In time for the meeting. Maybe you know differently than me, but I think this is going to wrap up pretty soon. There are some indications I read this morning. There are some that suggest Bill Himmergist, I think, reported it on Fox News that he spoke to a senior administration of official today that said they thought they were really close on a lot of big points, but still got to get over the hurdle, but in the next couple of days, we could see something in the form of a deal, which I don't know, but maybe you're right. Maybe this thing could come
Starting point is 00:39:04 together in the next week. Also, let's be real here. This Jesus picture balances out when he said praise be to all of the other day. And it'll be out of the news cycle in one day. Yes. Oh, it's already gone. Yeah. All right. Speaking of things that kind of come in and out of the news cycle, it entirely too fast a pace. Let's take quick break, but continue this conversation with comedian Tim Young here on Will Kane Country. Welcome back to Will Kane Country. We're still hanging out with comedian Tim Young.
Starting point is 00:39:36 He's a media fellow at the Heritage Foundation. If there were aliens among us, how long would it remain in the news cycle? Today, the Pentagon is going to release apparently 46-odd videos. that have not yet been seen. The New York Post headline reads Congress demands, Department of War, released 46 secret UFO videos, quote, you're going to see some weird effing shit.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Oh. I read about the videos. They apparently show, I don't know, they call them UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomenon, going down into the water, up out of the water, they're in color, they're not grainy,
Starting point is 00:40:13 it's just more videos that suggest there's more to this story. So I had a couple of friends in the Top Gun program in the Air Force, and I asked them about the very first thing. Anytime I know anybody that's got top secret clearance. Top Guns Navy. Okay, look, I don't know that. All right, it's fine. Look, you ask me about...
Starting point is 00:40:31 Called out. Ask me about... I don't know the military. It's fine. I'll see myself out. I'll just... No, I like... Ask me about whiskey, buddy.
Starting point is 00:40:41 That I know. I know my brand's there. No, look, so the Top Gun program, my friend was a couple of... couple friends in it. We were in Missouri hanging out. And I asked them about UAPs. And they said, there's always an explanation. And I said, well, what's the explanation? Is it one of our enemies? And they said, pretty much China. Like, they couldn't tell me anything else other than that, obviously. But I don't, I think if there were aliens, we would have seen them by now. We would have interacted more with them by now. If Elon Musk isn't an alien, then we are in the clear. I don't think he is.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Well, autism isn't alien. There's a difference. Well. Well, that's a lot to, there's a lot of fat on. There's a lot of meat to chew right here, and I just kind of decide, like, where I go next. A lot has changed in the last 40 years. Yeah. A lot. We've had massive technological leaps, like so much so that you could ask, like, are human beings capable of that kind of accomplishment in that short a period of time without some assistance? We all know that they reverse engineered, they reverse engineered decepticons in the Transformers movie, and that's how we have cell phones and a lot of our modern technology.
Starting point is 00:41:57 They're all, you know. Well, Patrick, if I go back further than that, the biggest leaps in human progress would be the late 1800s with the Industrial Revolution. Yeah. And you can see a chart on what's that? Airplanes. So the airplane, what, was up in 1911 or 1910? Yep. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:18 And then we're using them to bomb things in 1940. And then we're going to the moon in 1969, allegedly. So, I mean, that's pretty quick. It's insane. The timeline. When you put the timeline, like, if you ever look at the broad scope of human achievement and progress, we are a static species with incremental growth for thousands of years. So you think that...
Starting point is 00:42:41 The lifestyle difference between somebody in 1,500 and 500 is not that great. is not that great. Depends on if you're watching ancient aliens. And yet the lifestyle progression from 1880 to Patrick's point, 1940, 1950, is insane. And then from 50, 60 to 2025, it is even more compoundingly insane. We're all going to forget about my top gun comment with this one. So you think that our technological advances will come from aliens?
Starting point is 00:43:11 That's the only way it happened? No, I just think, I'm just talking. I'm just bringing up. I'm side-eyeing you right now. I'm just saying, I'm just saying we got a lot, we got real badass in a short amount of time. I have,
Starting point is 00:43:23 I have also been bored on a Saturday and watched an ancient alien's marathon. And I have begun to think, maybe there are power sources underneath the pyramids or whatever. How did they get built? Why, why do they depict flying falcon things that come down? And how are their pyramids that look exactly the same around the globe? I try not to think about it.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I don't think that we had aliens. I think people just came up with the same ideas at the same time. But possibly. And they're not in space. It's possible that like, they're underwater. Knowledge compounds like interest. Like, I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Once we figure out to take flight within, what is it? 30 years, we got B-2 bombers. We didn't have the internet to distract us back in the day. These guys were just sitting around with calculations and science. Is that what happened with the moon? Why 30 years passed and we forgot how to get to the moon? Will's a non-mooner. I mean,
Starting point is 00:44:15 Did we get to the moon? You're a non-moon or two? This is part of this conversation. Can we talk? You're in, you're in, hey, look, you're in the media. How'd the camera get there before and after? What happened? It's a lot of really interesting questions.
Starting point is 00:44:29 There's a lot of good questions, Will. We should, you know, it's a show. This is why this show is done midday without drinks because it would get real serious with a couple of us. No, I'm mostly fun in here on all this conversation. I do think it's a fun conversation. I actually think it helps with critical thinking. You should be asking yourself, questions like this, I don't dismiss evidence. I don't dismiss. I do dismiss consensus largely,
Starting point is 00:44:50 but not, I don't, I don't dismiss consensus. I just give it its proper weight, not its overwhelming weight. But I do things are all interesting questions. And it leaves me open-minded on the UAP thing. You know, I will tell you this. You sound a lot like someone who now runs the Pentagon. I will tell you that. Yeah. He is on air saying very dismissively all of this stuff about UAPs. He and I have not had that conversation since he got a job. You haven't? We have not had that conversation since he got his new job. Hey, do you think we're finally getting to the moon or what?
Starting point is 00:45:21 That should be your first question to him. I'm very disappointed in your relationship. That I haven't asked him if those are UFOs. It's insane. There's so many questions you should ask him. Like the second he got in office, are aliens real? And we would know. Book of Secrets, man.
Starting point is 00:45:36 That's where I would go right away is like, where's this presidential book of secrets. Do you think you are sworn in as Secretary of War? and they say, now it's time to debrief and they take you into a room and they show you everything. Or do you think that is cordoned off from politically elected and appointed people? That kind of. Oh, I think some of it's cordoned off. I think they kind of keep you in a bubble. Yeah, I wonder.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Because when you leave office. Because you can't have that many politically elected people. If it's that secretive, just as a thought exercise, if it is that, if it's real and it's that secretive, you know, I do believe in Occam's Razor on this point. The biggest flaw in conspiracies is the number of people required to participate in a conspiracy. And people are really bad at keeping secrets. So you couldn't have that many political appointees with access to that information and expected to remain. So it's the same reason that I don't think the NFL is rigged because there are too many stupid guys wandering around that would blow it at some point. Like Independence Day of the movie.
Starting point is 00:46:36 That's like the only thing. The president didn't know about the alien program. Have you never heard of the Manhattan Project? There's a massive conspiracy. Yeah, of course. But people knew about the Manhattan Project. What are you talking about? The Soviets knew about the Manhattan Project.
Starting point is 00:46:50 They didn't know that until after the fact. There's spies there. No, they had spies. Dude, they had spies wandering around New Mexico. Back in the day when they didn't have to sleep with anybody like FangFing. It wasn't maybe the general public when you control the media more tightly knew about it. But it wasn't like that secret among the people. Scientists are going missing.
Starting point is 00:47:11 In the world. Yeah. Scientists are going missing. missing. Also, the NFL, you only need a few people who know about the conspiracy of the top levels of the NFL to make that legitimate. And how many people do you have to start disappearing before people start finding out? And now we have replacement routes. I don't even I don't even know how we got onto the NFL. It was me because again, like when you say you have again, like why they keep things from political appointees. I would if I were in the deep state
Starting point is 00:47:41 keep things away from political appointees. You don't know what kind of your buddy is a smart guy, but there are a lot of morons we put in there, Christyneum, who I wouldn't want to give information to. You don't know who she's going to slip things to. Who do they tell? Who passes it along? Them. Them.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Who's them? Sure. The aliens that fly down and run our government, obviously. The lizard people. But you'd also give them an overload of information, the wrong information, and that also kind of helps cover your bases. I just know in the last Mission Impossible movie,
Starting point is 00:48:12 when AI connected with Tom Cruise, did you see the last one? It's great. No, I check that on Mission Impossible. It's pretty good. It's a little long. But when AI gives Tom Cruise all the information all at once, they're like, no human can handle this. But Tom Cruise good.
Starting point is 00:48:24 And so I just feel like there are a couple of those people around, you know, and they can handle the deep information. Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, he's like a level, whatever, the million Scientologist, so he can handle it. But I just, I feel like there are a few people who know everything, but it's very, very few. Well, one of the biggest threats to humanity is maybe aliens, but also it is the inability or unwillingness of us to procreate. So this is the latest study on this, which is pretty fascinating, about birth rates when it comes to political divide. what it shows is that extremely liberal people
Starting point is 00:49:05 are only having 0.55 child children for every couple I was trying to figure out how to characterize that man, man, woman. The far left is blown out the definitions of a man, a woman, a couple, and everything else. So there's a lot of things that could be contributing to this.
Starting point is 00:49:24 But it's mostly just their dystopic view of the future and they're down to 0.55, maybe a real explosive growth and selfishness as well, where extremely conservative people are at 2.14. Literally quadruple the number of kids being had by extremely conservative versus extremely liberal, and it raises real questions about, I guess, both on the positive side and the negative side, about the future of this country. Can I just tell you, there's definitely a stupid liberal out there that looked at that chart and said, see conservatives have more mean children.
Starting point is 00:49:52 More mean children. Remember they didn't know what coyotes were? And they were like, they're dogs bringing people across the blue. order. Yeah, no, I mean, if you take a look at who's at these protests for leftists and who identifies as a leftist or a Democrat or a liberal, they're definitely not making children. They're either very elderly women or very bizarre people who sometimes dress as furries or whatever. I don't think that they don't, I don't think they know how things work. Well, I think this is also depressing even on the conservative side. Like 2.14 is low. Yeah. It's low for everybody. So it's quadruple, the extremely liberal birth rate. But here's the next question. Does that mean, will exempt for a moment in this conversation immigration, because that obviously has an impact on the question I'm about to ask you. But does that mean that the country would be procreating more conservative people? Do you think the politics of children generally or on the average follows the politics of their parents? So if parents who are extremely conservative are, the odds are those kids will be extremely conservative?
Starting point is 00:50:55 Or they rebel against their parents and don't have kids? Correct. So I don't think we can take it. for granted that that means that the future of the country is conservative because liberals aren't having kids. Yeah, I mean, I'm part of the reason that we don't have a lot of kids. I choose poorly on the women's side, so there's no children in my life. So that's why I have a wish to you out. But no, it's, it's, Patrick balances out. He's got 10. Great. Awesome. That, uh, look, I think it is, it's rebelling against people. And then when you send kids to college and you take a look at
Starting point is 00:51:20 who's teaching kids in college and they're just, God, my brain is all over the place on this one, because feminism is another thing. You know, you have to live these lives where they're, they, If there was a great siop that one of our enemies could have put on us, it would have been feminism. Because you're teaching these women to not, I mean, it's fine to work. I don't have a problem with that, but to not have children and to go as long as possible without children and be independent. No doubt. And so by the time they get to the age where they want children, they can't. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:49 No doubt. It is literally, it's the first 10 minutes of idiocry or first five minutes of idiocry. I don't know if you remember that movie now. Yes, of course. But like, that's part of it as well. So there's all of these factors that go into it. it. But again, it's the children rebelling against their parents. It's feminism. It's just the culture in general. You have, like, you know, major pop stars as well. So like I, like a couple of Sabrina Carpenter's songs,
Starting point is 00:52:12 I'll admit that. But her whole brand is, you know, I'm as loose as possible and men are stupid. And you've got little kids singing along two very, very salacious songs that are cutesy, the framed cutesy in their music. And so they're teaching these kids, hey, be loose, don't have kids, live this free life and men are stupid. So like it's just our entire, we've lost the culture war on this. This is a very bad sign. So, okay, if we had a population of only, if the liberal birth rate dropped to zero and we had a population of only procreation among conservatives, we, I don't know, we're clearly,
Starting point is 00:52:51 obviously back of the envelope doing this, but I think you have randomization, which which would mean they're not all going to be conservative. You have cyclical stuff. Like I think we're seeing a cyclical trend towards young people being conservative, wherein you and I, in our age demographic, the cyclical push would have been to be toward liberal. Yes. You have rebellion, which I think is real. So if we have a bunch of extremely conservative people, there's a chance their kids rebel against them,
Starting point is 00:53:21 and they become more liberal. You have indoctrination. You have cultural push, all of which is going to continue to, to feed future liberal generations. But parents are a gigantic influence on their kids as well. So my guess is it would generally be a more conservative population, maybe to a point of 60 percent. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:53:42 You'd still get 40 percent liberal out of this based upon all those other factors, but you probably would still get something like a 60 percent more conservative population because their parents were conservative. Yeah, I just, you got me thinking about this because I wasn't prepared for this topic at all. But like, if you take a look at our culture, and the way that America is set up, can you, what percentage of our culture do you think is designed to force people or convince people to not have kids? Because I'm at like 85, 90%.
Starting point is 00:54:08 Yeah, a lot. It's bad. Yeah. And then the stuff that, again, like when you take a look at what influence people to have kids, like religion and faith and conservative family stuff, that has been so branded and because you came up the same generation as me as goofy. Because, you know, when you look at like Christian music and there's a ton of great Christian music, they always say like, well, that's like the Christian, like, Alanis Morcette or whatever. You know, it's always some sort of like generic brand.
Starting point is 00:54:29 And I feel like it's so not mainstream and it's been so beat down. It might even be higher than 90% of the push to not have children and not have traditional family values in this country. Yeah. And then you have to bring in the concept of immigration because this is not new. In fact, we actually have an experiment on this on the global stage. First, you have Europe. Europe has extremely low birth rates. extremely worse than America. And they have population decline. Aging population, population
Starting point is 00:55:02 decline upon native-born Europeans. And therefore, they've opened the doors to migration. One of the reasons that they have opened the door to migration. We're in the middle, and the people who think about the country in terms of economies say, well, with birth rates like that, we've got to bring in new people. And it's true. People are ideas. People are innovation. So you bring in immigrants to replenish the birth rate. On the other side of the spectrum, you have Japan, which also has an extremely low birth rate, and they have chosen not to swing open their doors to immigration. And so you kind of have the full spectrum there of the societal experiment of what happens when people stop having babies. Do you bring in new people to replenish? Well, you lose
Starting point is 00:55:44 Western civilization potentially as you are in Europe. Do you stay closed doors like in Japan? I don't know what the future of Japan looks like. It surely is a stagnant economy. or can we thread the needle somewhere in between the United States? No. I mean, I have no problems with immigration, obviously, if it's legal, but, you know, bringing in good conservatives from, like, South America and, like, Hispanic countries where, like, we have, like, and again, like, quality human beings who come in, a lot of Catholic folks from South America would really, really do well in this country. But Japan, man, it's, and Korea's got the same problem. Yes. It's all the Asian countries over there really, really have the same problem.
Starting point is 00:56:22 China, in fact, does. Yeah, they, when you take a look again at the cultures over there, very heavily sexualized but not coming up as kids. Again, I go to, I joke around about going to round one. It's an arcade here. And you can win these like very kind of salacious anime statues there. I have a whole collection of them because I'm really good at claw machines. And I have a mental problem. But you take a look at how they have sexualized things growing up and then not having the interact, not having that kind of social interaction and being kind of like,
Starting point is 00:56:52 I don't know, like isolationists personally over there. It's such a weird. Yes. They've kind of set themselves up for this culture. Isn't that weird? They sexualize a lot of children's content and toys. Yes. And then they don't have sex.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Yes. The Japanese. Yes. Like I think I've seen studies. They don't know how to talk to each other. They don't have sex. They don't procreate. They don't get married.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Whereas we're the complete opposite where they've over sexualized everything. And they say just don't have kids. It's such a strange. It's two levels of depravity. And there's just no, there's like no middle ground. I don't know how you win this. And that's the scary part when we start talking about this stuff, is like, how do you flip the culture? Very difficult to.
Starting point is 00:57:33 And who, and at this point, who is a global model for a successful culture? The ones that are procreating are countries in African countries in the Middle East. Yeah. To a lesser extent, it's the Central and South American countries, but more than American Europe. Yeah. But that doesn't mean necessarily those are models for society and culture. But, I mean, honestly, we were. I don't know if we still remain.
Starting point is 00:58:00 We still remain. I want us to remain, but we're teetering on the end of it. I mean, and, you know, it's sort of like Europe is getting what they get for what they, the decisions that they've made there. And I just, I hope that we go in the right direction in this country, but it's a very scary proposition. Boy, did we start from, we went from Swalwell to this. What a shift.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Swalwell. He tried. Listen, he tried to procreate, I think. A lot. A lot. I mean, not consensual. That's a problem. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Yeah. Yeah. From Swalwell to UAPs to population decline. And somehow it all feels connected. This has been more of a mental workout. It all feels connected. Right, Patrick? Everything is connected.
