Tim Young and Chase Geiser dissect the clash between individualist philosophy and modern collectivism, contrasting a dramatized courtroom defense of creators against "parasites" with real-world struggles like Geiser's social media suspension. They critique conservative influencers who exploit sexualized imagery, such as bikinis with assault rifles, to mask policy ignorance while discussing the decline of Republican branding and Congress's lack of firearms. The conversation further explores skepticism toward weaponized accusations in the Me Too movement and mental health trends before concluding that substantive expertise must replace superficial image for genuine political progress.

The Individual Against the Collective00:05:43
unidentified
I solemnly ask of every man who hears this case to let his own mind pronounce a verdict upon it.
You have heard the testimony of the state's witnesses.
The confession of Peter Keating has made clear that Howard Rourke is a ruthless egoist who has destroyed Kirkland Holmes for his own selfish motive.
The issue which you are to decide is the crucial issue of our age.
Has man any right to exist if he refuses to serve society?
Let your verdict give us the answer.
The state rests.
The defense may proceed.
Your Honor, I shall call no witnesses.
This will be my testimony and my summation.
Take the oath.
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, or nothing but the truth, so help you, God?
I do.
Thousands of years ago, the first man discovered how to make fire.
He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light, but he left them a gift they had not conceived, and he lifted darkness off the earth.
Throughout the centuries, there were men who took first steps down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.
The great creators, the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors, stood alone against the men of their time.
Every new thought was opposed.
Every new invention was denounced.
But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead.
They fought, they suffered, and they paid, but they won.
No creator was prompted by a desire to please his brothers.
His brothers hated the gift he offered.
His truth was his only motive.
His work was his only goal.
His work, not those who used it.
His creation, not the benefits others derived from it.
The creation which gave form to his truth.
He held his truth above all things and against all men.
He went ahead whether others agreed with him or not, with his integrity as his only banner.
He served nothing and no one.
He lived for himself.
And only by living for himself was he able to achieve the things which are the glory of mankind.
Such is the nature of achievement.
Man cannot survive except through his mind.
He comes on earth unarmed.
His brain is his only weapon.
But the mind is an attribute of the individual.
There is no such thing as a collective brain.
The man who thinks must think and act on his own.
The reasoning mind cannot work under any form of compulsion.
It cannot be subordinated to the needs, opinions, or wishes of others.
It is not an object of sacrifice.
The creator stands on his own judgment.
The parasite follows the opinions of others.
The creator thinks.
The parasite copies.
The creator produces.
The parasite loots.
The creator's concern is the conquest of nature.
The parasite's concern is the conquest of man.
The creator requires independence.
He neither serves nor rules.
He deals with men by free exchange and voluntary choice.
The parasite seeks power.
He wants to bind all men together in common action and common slavery.
He claims that man is only a tool for the use of others.
That he must think as they think, act as they act, and live in selfless, joyless servitude to any need but his own.
Look at history.
Everything we have, every great achievement has come from the independent work of some independent mind.
Every horror and destruction came from attempts to force men into a herd of brainless, soulless robots without personal rights, without personal ambition, without will, hope, or dignity.
It is an ancient conflict.
It has another name.
The individual against the collective.
Our country, the noblest country in the history of men, was based on the principle of individualism, the principle of man's inalienable rights.
It was a country where a man was free to seek his own happiness, to gain and produce, not to give up and renounce, to prosper, not to starve, to achieve, not to plunder, to hold as his highest possession a sense of his personal value, and as his highest virtue, his self-respect.
Look at the results.
That is what the collectivists are now asking you to destroy as much of the earth has been destroyed.
I am an architect.
I know what is to come by the principle on which it is built.
We are approaching a world in which I cannot permit myself to live.
My ideas are my property.
They were taken from me by force, by breach of contract.
No appeal was left to me.
It was believed that my work belonged to others to do with as they pleased.
They had a claim upon me without my consent, that it was my duty to serve them without choice or reward.
You just got to show up every once in a while and speak some wisdom.
Yeah, it's gone.
So how do you, see, I own a small advertising business.
I've been doing it since 2016, social media advertising exclusively and search.
And I've always avoided any of the political stuff because whenever my Facebook account gets flagged, it's like a nightmare for my clients for a week.
You know, I've got backup accounts for when I get flagged and I don't even post on my personal Facebook profile at all anymore because I'm worried that anything I say or do can be held against me.
So how did you navigate digital strategy in a, and I, you know, it was 2015, so it might have been a little different, but in a field that's so heavily monitored.
So that's one of the concerns I have about the Republican Party just in general is we seem to be, I've said this a million times on the podcast, but we seem to be really good at winning the logical debate and really bad at winning the emotional debate.
And the Democrats, you know, as much as I despise their tactics so much of the time, are outstanding at branding candidates.
And it seems like every time they run a campaign, there is at least a week where any one of their candidates is like the new hot topic, right?
I mean, for a while, it was going to be Elizabeth Warren and then it was going to be Pete, you know, and they fell out of the limelight, but they did such a good job of framing everyone on that stage as a hero, at least at one point.
And I feel like the Republicans just never pull that off.
Because they're still using the same antiquated consultants and they continue to listen to them and they keep doing the same thing.
I mean, the fact that, I mean, and this isn't me like saying I'm great, but Molytes, the fact that I don't get phone calls to advise people and I've given advice to people before, members of Congress and whatnot, makes no sense.
Because if you have people like me floating around that are known entities in Washington, D.C. as like a consultant that can be picked up to talk about the stuff on top of everything else I do and you're not using me and you're going back to these old people, this is why we lose.
It's the same stale inability to stand out.
The consultants have them at this like hum instead of people who spike.
And the people who spike, look, I mean, I don't agree with all the crazy stuff she said in the past, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is great at getting out there.
And she became such a threat that the left had to mobilize that same operation that uplifted all of their candidates to take care of her and make her seem like she's some sort of crazy threat to everyone.
And I'm surprised they haven't gone after Lauren Bobert yet either.
Lauren Boebert's why they have virtuous metal detectors and more metal detectors in the hallways just for members because they're afraid that she's carrying a gun on her at all times.
That's also, so that's also why Republicans, well, they used to lose a lot more because of that.
A lot of the big money is still very socially conservative.
And the thing is, if you're what I would consider like a more classic conservative, you would want smaller government and less hands on your social life.
Who gives a shit if somebody's who somebody sleeps with?
I've been saying that for years, but I mean, so have people like anybody with common sense has said that for years.
I don't know why I'm bringing this up, but yesterday we talked about, we were talking about South Dakota and cool stuff to see in South Dakota and the Badlands.
Imagine being on your wagon, pulling into like the Badlands for the first time.
It's like you would have this little guy and it would like, you'd solve little math problems as quickly as you could on the Apple II and he would do a little thing.
And after you like got like so many questions answered, it would show like the little number buncher guy, but he'd be like Isaac Newton or something.
So, you know how there's this constant debate going on about artificial intelligence and whether or not it's going to be the end of mankind or the benefit.
I have mixed feelings about it because if you think about it, a computer is all, as of now anyways, all analytical and like zero emotional intelligence.
And it seems to me that the first iterations of artificial intelligence are going to be more like autistic savants than anything else.
Like the guy that can tell you what day of the week, you know, January 2nd, 25, 34 is going to be in a second rather than some sort of like Russell Crowe beautiful mind type person with any sort of charisma.
So like, think of the person that goes there to start with.
Like think of the douchebag that goes there.
I mean, are there, I'd say 70% of the people that go there are a little off and don't have real world skills and knowledge and, you know, street smarts.
I struggle with it because I agree that it definitely helps with creativity, but I do supplement with the medication for it because it's very difficult for me to do things that I need to do that I otherwise wouldn't ever do, like open a spreadsheet, for example.
That's just something I can't do if I'm not on medicine.
Well, that's been a lot of this, a lot of my projects.
I started doing these little videos and things now because I was yelled at by multiple media executives and they were like, hey, you've got to do this.
And I'm like, okay, sure, whatever.
But I never got around to it because I just, I would be distracted and do other things.
I mean, my tweeting and stuff, there is no rhyme or reason.
Like I'll see something and be like, oh, that's cool.
And then tweet about it or, you know, I'll post about it.
But there's no like real order or organization to it.
And I started putting a little bit of thought into stuff and like how I do things and making myself do videos and podcasts, whatever else now.
And it's exploded from there.
Like the numbers have gone through the roof recently because of the actual like focusing instead of, you know, ADHDing it and just kind of like winging it and being all over the place.
I hate that term because when I think influencer, I think like a woman who's shown her ass on Instagram and then sells like, you know, beauty cream because of it.
You know, man, I don't, I just tweet what I think at the time and I'm a little witty and that helps.
But that's like, I, you know, my, my rule is, and you found out earlier, like when I didn't think we were live because I don't read, I'm the same person on and off camera.
I'm the same person on and off of Twitter.
People are like, you don't, I mean, I'm very quiet, actually, when I go out.
I like to have my downtime and like whatever, but there's, it's just be authentic to yourself.
And if it goes, it goes.
And if it doesn't, you know, do something else.
I mean, that's the whole thing.
I look, I, I can go, you know, run a marketing firm right now if I want to.
I don't, you know, but everything else is working out right now.
So I'm happy with it.
And I'm, you know, going to be filming a pilot TV show coming up here.
So it's going to be a travel show where I used to do a segment called Take Tim to Work at WTT G Fox 5 in DC.
And it's taking that and making it a 22 minute or a 44 minute and not having famous people on it.
So, or like restaurateurs and stuff.
I want to do real people things, like sort of like dirty jobs, to be honest with you, but without focusing on the job and being a little bit more generic about it.
So like the first place I'm going to go, like I'm going to work at a gas station and then going to be flying around.
There's a place called, I think it's called Stream Streamline.
I always forget the name of the spot.
Again, old man.
There's a bar and I'm going to be in Wichita, Kansas.
There's a bar in Wichita, Kansas with an airstrip.
And it's all these millionaires with these like old-timey planes and you take up the planes and fly around in them.
So, I mean, there's just a lot of cool stuff and there's a lot of cool stuff in America.
Last year, so not only did I do that thing at WTTG, last year during COVID, I had at the Washington Times, I had a little series called On the Road with Tim Young.
And it was seen by six million people.
It was the most popular thing in the history of their social media.
Excuse me.
And they ended up, whoever came in and took over the social media after the last guy left, a lot of it was in stories on Instagram.
Thank God I saved all these videos.
They killed all the Instagram stories for some reason, like the saved little circles at the top of the Instagram.
Tanked them all.
I don't understand why you would do that because it's just free content to keep people on the page.
But so they tanked about 10 hours, 15 hours of footage of me on the road.
She actually, like, her big claim to fame is like, she was in like the original drunk history, like the very first, when they were still good and not staged.
Not completely staged because they have to be staged now, the stuff that they do.
But anyway, so he comes in with the Sherpa.
And first she comes in and she's wearing like a white robe and gives everybody like a God, like a spiritual guide.
I call it a Sherpa, but like a Sherpa is like a shaman.
Well, I stopped following him because he started tweeting, you know, today's the fifth night in a row that I've gone to bed not wanting to wake up in the morning.
One of my controversial statements that I make among friends and family that I think this might be the first time or second time I've ever said it online is, I believe all women except when I see them on CNN.
It's like, listen, if any woman tells me that something happened, I believe that woman.
But if I see a talking head on CNN making a Me Too claim, 50-50.
Remember when the Kavanaugh stuff happened and like the New Yorker did the article on the woman who like, she was like, I was a rape victim, but like she, they had like this full, like amazing photo, like spread, photo spread of her.
But she was the one who said that she was like a college student that went to high school sex parties and was raped at high school sex parties multiple times as a college student.
Like she just kept going back to these.
She was like, you know, the first time that I was like raped at this high school party, I guess it wasn't that bad.
I'll go back.
Like, I mean, the story was so unbelievable.
And it broke in the New Yorker and she had a, and God, I can't remember the name of it.
It had, she had these full, like, magnificent photo shoots that they did with her.
So I've given, I've given this a lot of thought because I got, um, uh, I had a false accusation made against me when I was in college and it was, it totally shook me to the core.
And I don't think I've experienced anything more terrifying in my life.
And I've basically come to the conclusion about a couple of things regarding the Mewtwo movement.
The first one is we should be encouraging women who are victims of sexual assault to immediately press charges.
Immediately press charges.
Like, don't be scared.
Go press charges, right?
This whole character assassination thing on the internet is, it sucks.
And I understand if 20 years ago you were in a position where you couldn't because Harvey Weinstein was running the show.
Okay, I get it.
That's there's exceptions.
But today, if you get raped, immediately go to the cops or the hospital and call the cops.
Like I have a daughter that was born in January, and I'm going to encourage her when she's old enough and we're going to have this conversation.
If anything ever happens to you, immediately call the police.
Don't wait around for seven years.
Let it fester and then like start making claims or whatever.
Just deal with it right away.
And I understand that we can't victim blame and it's taxing for people to have to relive their experience.
But if you don't go to the cops and you've been sexually assaulted, you are allowing a predator to walk the streets.
So it's like, come on.
Like if somebody, if somebody raped me, which is particularly embarrassing to happen to a man in our culture, right?
No man ever want to talk about this.
If that happened to me, that's the first thing I would do is go to the police.
And it would suck, but I'm not going to let that guy walk around if I can do anything about it.
But like, I was just trained as it, but like, and I, and I, uh, had some really, really good advisors and I learned a ton.
But like, um, yeah, I mean, like, you have to, you have to say something immediately.
But it has been weaponized.
And, and now, you know, like, you take a look at what they tried to cancel Aziz Ansari with that one story where like the girl was over his place and they were like starting to get it on.
Yeah, you know, I tell you what, when I was, when I was in, when I was younger, I was much more libertine in my sentiments toward sexuality and promiscuity in terms of, you know, there's nothing wrong with adults just, you know, doing whatever they want.
And as I get older, I'm like, you know what?
This whole monogamy thing makes a hell of a lot of sense because there's so much liability fooling around with strangers.
I had to, I, I, I, I, uh, just basically was like, you know what?
Maybe I shouldn't be here.
I had that thought.
And I put some content on there every once in a while, but I don't, I don't like scrolling through the dance videos of 16 year olds with their manager, you know, behind the cash register at a fast food restaurant doing some like super sexy dance.
Also, I mean, the other thing, too, that really bothers me, and then I got to run, but are like the conservative influencers again.
Influencer is a bad, bad word, but it just, it gives me this cringy feeling when I say it.
But these girls that like basically do the same, basically the same thing, like bikini with a gun in it or whatever, like regularly on Instagram.
You get all these followers, all these little 12-year-olds that, you know, are looking for softcore porn.
And then suddenly they're like speaking at CPAC because they have, you know, 200,000 followers or whatever, you know, whatever conference they're speaking at because they put up pictures of themselves in a bikini.
