=== White Noise War (09:31) ===

[00:00:00]  On location, because the left will use that as ammo and go, oh, see, this is just a kind of fake news.
[00:00:04]  Whereas if they just use like, you know, the image of the cocaine found, no one could accuse them of fake news.
[00:00:10]  Yeah.
[00:00:10]  So I feel like they need a better editor.
[00:00:13]  But that's just my opinion.
[00:00:14]  That is, dude, this administration is pretty unprofessional and also hilarious.
[00:00:19]  Yeah, when Carol answered your mom in that text, people were so mad.
[00:00:23]  I'm like, I love that she answered your mom.
[00:00:24]  Hilarious.
[00:00:25]  Can we, can I, before we do chat, could we ask research to pull in a video I was showing Tim earlier?
[00:00:30]  I don't know if you saw it, it was like it was yesterday or something.
[00:00:32]  They were asking Trump about whether he's going to ask Congress to, or why he shouldn't, why he won't ask Congress to declare war for this Venezuelan crap.
[00:00:41]  And his answer was perfect.
[00:00:44]  I don't know.
[00:00:45]  I wouldn't use perfect.
[00:00:47]  I'm a comedian.
[00:00:48]  It was pretty.
[00:00:49]  As a comedian, it's as good as it gets.
[00:00:51]  There's never been a funnier thing said by a president.
[00:00:53]  Okay, so the setup is they're asking him about they're asking him about whether he's going to declare war in Venezuela or continue business as usual.
[00:01:01]  All right.
[00:01:02]  And do we have a clip?
[00:01:04]  Yeah.
[00:01:04]  Not yet.
[00:01:05]  All right.
[00:01:05]  Well, let's grab a chat.
[00:01:06]  Yeah.
[00:01:07]  Before, because it's the weekend, so it's going to be all over.
[00:01:09]  Yeah, it's Friday.
[00:01:09]  I apologize.
[00:01:10]  Let us know if you guys like Friday or if it's too unprofessional.
[00:01:15]  We try and just loosen up a little bit.
[00:01:17]  We can make it less professional, too.
[00:01:19]  Like we have depths that we can sink to.
[00:01:21]  Include some of the comments in the chat guys who are pulling them so we know if we're doing this wrong.
[00:01:26]  All right.
[00:01:26]  All right.
[00:01:27]  First chat from Rizzy Page.
[00:01:29]  Question for Stephen.
[00:01:30]  Would having a set standard for living in America work to revive the American culture?
[00:01:34]  If so, what is considered American culture right now versus what it should be in practice?
[00:01:39]  Well, that's a pretty broad.
[00:01:40]  I'd have to create a whole list.
[00:01:42]  But I'll tell you what, before we have any type of official or any kind of enshrined culture, let's just do our best with shame right now.
[00:01:51]  Every single one of you can shame people for acting weird.
[00:01:56]  I don't know if we need laws dictating how people live their lives and stuff.
[00:02:02]  Of course not.
[00:02:03]  But we definitely should be able to call this out.
[00:02:07]  And we definitely should bring concern to people who are going to be running the biggest city in the country.
[00:02:12]  Yeah.
[00:02:12]  The most, if not the most important city in the world.
[00:02:16]  Right.
[00:02:17]  I will tell you this.
[00:02:18]  The leader of it, maybe he doesn't eat saucy rice with his hands.
[00:02:21]  Yeah.
[00:02:22]  Yes.
[00:02:22]  You know what?
[00:02:22]  I will tell you this.
[00:02:23]  Yeah.
[00:02:24]  There is distinctly, it's not just about people making about race.
[00:02:27]  It's about a high trust society.
[00:02:29]  And you see that largely in nations that are more homogenous because there's more of a shared commonality, and especially in white Christian European, North American, obviously, society.
[00:02:41]  So like I'm convinced that HOAs were made for two reasons.
[00:02:45]  One, for busybody Karens to have authority that they don't deserve, but also when you have a mixed, let's say, subdivision or something where people don't really know how they should act.
[00:02:56]  Because I will tell you, there's no HOA where I live and everything is pristine.
[00:03:00]  You know why?
[00:03:00]  It's almost entirely older white people who respect their stuff.
[00:03:05]  And since it's nice, they want to keep it nice for their neighbor.
[00:03:08]  Neighbors talk with each other.
[00:03:09]  They keep an eye on each other's houses.
[00:03:11]  It's a high trust environment.
[00:03:13]  And there is no HOA.
[00:03:14]  And it's nicer than places that have HOAs.
[00:03:16]  It's not a lot of cheap houses either.
[00:03:18]  You'd be surprised.
[00:03:19]  You'd be surprised because a lot of them, you know, they've been in the family for generations.
[00:03:23]  And some of them are in living trust.
[00:03:24]  It's like a big retirement community, but they've been living there forever.
[00:03:27]  I'm in an HOA, and thank goodness it's not a bad one.
[00:03:30]  Yeah.
[00:03:30]  We just had the election, one guy on his little blurb on the paper.
[00:03:35]  He said, I want to get back to standards in this HOA.
[00:03:38]  Some standards have been pretty relaxed and people aren't following the rules.
[00:03:41]  Like, oh, God, I'm going to vote for the crazy lady who named her son after Anakin Skywalker.
[00:03:45]  I'm voting for that lady because sometimes, you know, I leave my trash can out on Tuesdays.
[00:03:51]  Yeah.
[00:03:51]  I don't need some dickhead coming over and getting his ass beaten in my front yard.
[00:03:55]  No, exactly.
[00:03:55]  I understand the spirit of it because then you go to the wrong neighborhood, just, you know, you go a few blocks over and you see everyone leaves their trash everywhere.
[00:04:01]  Or like, you know, their method of disposal is just whipping it across the lawn.
[00:04:06]  But, you know, you do have plenty of places where there are no HOAs, but they're great neighborhoods.
[00:04:11]  And that was the rule rather than the exception for a very long time in this country.
[00:04:16]  Yeah, we used to care about our communities and be involved.
[00:04:19]  And I understand, like, this is actually kind of an interesting story because I think we've all experienced this where there's noise late at night or something like that.
[00:04:26]  A kid's out there making a bunch of noise.
[00:04:28]  And usually when I was growing, I didn't really care.
[00:04:30]  Now that I have kids, they're going to be woken up by the motorcycle at 3 a.m. going up and down the street.
[00:04:34]  I'm like, I care a lot.
[00:04:35]  Now you're the Grinch.
[00:04:36]  All the noise, noise.
[00:04:39]  It's not that.
[00:04:39]  Like, I have a lot of people.
[00:04:40]  There are buzzes and slongs look.
[00:04:42]  I have a lot of people.
[00:04:43]  I'm going to come.
[00:04:46]  No, that already happened.
[00:04:46]  But what I'm saying is 3 a.m.
[00:04:52]  Let us know if there's too unprofessional, chat.
[00:04:56]  I think I know the answer.
[00:04:58]  No, but at 3 a.m.
[00:04:59]  You know, I just gave a lot of grace.
[00:05:02]  Yeah.
[00:05:03]  And finally, I just went outside and I kind of looked at what was going on.
[00:05:05]  I'm like, all right, I don't feel like this is a dangerous situation.
[00:05:08]  Hey!
[00:05:09]  Yeah.
[00:05:10]  You know, come over.
[00:05:10]  And kids were very nice, very apologetic, you know, put it up, went away.
[00:05:15]  Right.
[00:05:15]  Put a stop.
[00:05:16]  I want everyone on the street reacting that way.
[00:05:19]  Of course.
[00:05:19]  Policing your community.
[00:05:20]  Not being mean to anybody.
[00:05:22]  You could just nicely go out and be like, hey, guys, too late.
[00:05:24]  Time to close it up.
[00:05:24]  Let's go.
[00:05:26]  And we don't have that anymore.
[00:05:28]  And I think that's missed.
[00:05:29]  That's a huge part of what's missing in our culture is that we just don't care enough about people around us to do something uncomfortable.
[00:05:34]  Now, there are certain situations where that might be dangerous.
[00:05:37]  And of course, you get plenty of white people who do that too.
[00:05:39]  Like my parents had.
[00:05:41]  These were white people that did that.
[00:05:42]  Yeah, this is fine.
[00:05:43]  I mean, this is just white people.
[00:05:44]  But let's be honest, if you're in a neighborhood where it's entirely people from, let's say, India, you don't have a prayer.
[00:05:50]  No.
[00:05:50]  You know what it's going to be like, and it's going to feel very foreign, and you are going to be unwelcome in your own neighborhood.
[00:05:57]  And people here know that well, right?
[00:05:59]  Do we have that clip of the answer?
[00:06:00]  All right, the Venezuelan answer.
[00:06:01]  And then we just have to grab two chats and go.
[00:06:03]  All right.
[00:06:04]  Here we go.
[00:06:04]  And, Mr. President, if you are declaring war against these cartels and Congress is likely to approve of that process, why not just ask for a declaration of war?
[00:06:15]  Well, I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war.
[00:06:19]  I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country.
[00:06:24]  Okay, we're going to kill them.
[00:06:25]  You know, they're going to be like dead.
[00:06:27]  Okay.
[00:06:32]  No quarter.
[00:06:35]  Just bitch.
[00:06:36]  Just pizzas.
[00:06:37]  Please, please, please, just bitch.
[00:06:39]  I want to do a remix of like, no quarter, afuera, afuera, no quarter.
[00:06:46]  I love it.
[00:06:47]  Wasn't that perfect?
[00:06:48]  I was with my dead.
[00:06:51]  Okay.
[00:06:51]  They'll be like, dead.
[00:06:55]  You're going to kill him.
[00:06:56]  I was listening to a news briefing.
[00:06:57]  You know, I have this thing, and I was listening to it yesterday.
[00:07:01]  And it was in the other room.
[00:07:02]  And we were, so it was like on this kind of table we have.
[00:07:06]  And we were in the kitchen.
[00:07:07]  And I just hear like, later, later that afternoon.
[00:07:10]  And then we could just hear from across the house, knock war.
[00:07:13]  And we're just, she dropped a dish.
[00:07:16]  We were laughing so hard.
[00:07:18]  Nokwar!
[00:07:19]  Knock water.
[00:07:21]  And then I went.
[00:07:22]  And then I showed her guarantee like she wasn't familiar with it.
[00:07:24]  I was like, oh, yeah, guar.
[00:07:26]  I was like, oh, she's like, I was wondering about the Photoshop with the monsters.
[00:07:29]  I'm like, no, it wasn't Photoshop.
[00:07:30]  That's the band.
[00:07:30]  With the monsters.
[00:07:32]  Because you have to, if like, if you don't, if you're not familiar with it, it's very difficult to understand.
[00:07:36]  They are a monster.
[00:07:37]  It's Johnny Boy.
[00:07:38]  No quarrel.
[00:07:39]  No gwar.
[00:07:40]  They're just like, why not us?
[00:07:44]  All right.
[00:07:44]  A couple of chats.
[00:07:45]  All right.
[00:07:45]  Next chat from Samarachi.
[00:07:48]  Why is it you hear Allah Akbar before they blow something up?
[00:07:51]  Oh, and never when they get good grades, help the homeless, et cetera.
[00:07:54]  Josh and I were talking about.
[00:07:55]  Are you ever around Muslim people when they're helping the homeless or eating with their family or whatever the other one was?
[00:08:02]  Good grades.
[00:08:02]  I will say this.
[00:08:03]  Getting good grades.
[00:08:04]  There really aren't many Islamic charities, just to be clear.
[00:08:06]  Like they're not charitable people because they only help their own.
[00:08:09]  So it would be pretty closed circuit and you wouldn't be there to see.
[00:08:13]  Like there is no Islamic children's fund.
[00:08:16]  Like you see, Christian Children's Fund.
[00:08:17]  There is no wills on the pillar of Islam and charity, but I think, what is it, 2%?
[00:08:22]  I think it goes back into the community, though.
[00:08:24]  But specifically, the Islamic community.
[00:08:26]  They don't.
[00:08:27]  It's not like you're not going to see the general stuff.
[00:08:29]  Yeah.
[00:08:30]  Just like, you know, Christian American charities going to un-Christian nations in Africa, you know, because it'll be a missions trip, but they'll also build wells.
[00:08:39]  They'll dig wells or they'll build like a farm for them.
[00:08:42]  And it never works.
[00:08:43]  All right.
[00:08:43]  Next chat.
[00:08:44]  Well, and let me just really quickly, I get to that, you know, Allah Huakbara.
[00:08:47]  It's just saying that God is great.
[00:08:48]  And there's a lot of times in their lives where somebody gets saved or, you know, from a burning building or something, whatever.
[00:08:53]  You could scream that.
[00:08:54]  But listen, when you make it your calling card and then go sploaty, you can't be mad at us.
[00:08:58]  Yeah.
[00:08:59]  Okay.
[00:08:59]  For going, hey, I just, I want to keep my head on a swivel here if I ever hear that.
[00:09:02]  Yeah.
[00:09:02]  Okay.
[00:09:03]  If you live around them, though, you will, you'll hear it more often.
[00:09:06]  They say when they, after they pray and while they pray, and usually it's like, you know, they'll say it in, you know, mass gatherings and stuff.
[00:09:13]  Like if they're doing something together, they're celebrating something, they'll say it.
[00:09:16]  Yeah, I'll avoid that.

=== Melting Pot vs. Mosaic (05:17) ===

[00:09:17]  And yeah, I don't want to.
[00:09:19]  Yeah, I tend to not gather in their gatherings.
[00:09:23]  Yeah, well, I'm more of a juggalo gathering kind of guy.
[00:09:26]  Yeah, I know.
[00:09:27]  Yeah.
[00:09:27]  We're going to talk about that.
[00:09:28]  Final chat.
[00:09:30]  Final chat from Taylor and Rain.
[00:09:32]  Loves his Fanta.
[00:09:34]  America is a melting pot is a common phrase.
[00:09:37]  I have my views on what this means, but would love your take as well.
[00:09:40]  What does and doesn't this mean?
[00:09:41]  Well, I also know that people will talk about how the term.
[00:09:43]  Now, you're using it shorthand.
[00:09:45]  I know that people will say the term was coined by, I'm trying to remember the Jewish author somewhere there in the mid-day.
[00:09:51]  Some Russian Jews in the 20th century.
[00:09:53]  So I get it, but when we say, when someone says melting pot, I've used it in comparison to mosaic because I know that people understand the term.
[00:09:59]  It doesn't mean that that's part of our founding the actual doctrine of melting pot.
[00:10:05]  As far as describing what it's meant to sort of, it's meant to be an analogies.
[00:10:11]  A melting pot, think of it like a stew.
[00:10:13]  Everything goes in and you get one food.
[00:10:16]  A mosaic is different.
[00:10:17]  Think of it like a quilt, a different, what are they called?
[00:10:22]  The squares.
[00:10:22]  Oh, I don't know.
[00:10:23]  Patches?
[00:10:24]  A different patch and a different patch and a different patch and a different patch and a different patch.
[00:10:27]  So they're all separate, right?
[00:10:29]  And that's what you see in Europe.
[00:10:31]  That's why you have Sharia courts all over Europe.
[00:10:34]  You have the same thing in, for example, in Canada.
[00:10:35]  I was raised in the province of Quebec, where it's an English country, but Quebec is a French-speaking province because they were a conquered people, right?
[00:10:43]  They lost, I believe, in the plains of Abraham.
[00:10:45]  But for some odd reason, under the auspices of a mosaic, I'm just using the terms that people are familiar with.
[00:10:51]  It doesn't mean that I think we should call it a melting pot.
[00:10:54]  They said, okay, we'll let you have your own little enclave here, and we'll let you keep your language, and we'll let you keep your culture.
[00:10:59]  Well, now they've refused to assimilate, but they've had referendums and trying to separate from the rest of Canada, an English-speaking country.
[00:11:04]  So the concept of melting pot is supposed to be, you come here, sure, you came from another country, but you now take part in what is American culture.
[00:11:14]  Think of it as fusion cuisine.
[00:11:16]  It's now our culture.
[00:11:18]  And by the way, they blame the United States for being like, well, nothing's original here.
[00:11:22]  You could say that about any culture.
[00:11:23]  You could say that about any culture because they take from other cultures and then they adapt it and it becomes their own.
[00:11:28]  You could say it about cuisine all across South America.
[00:11:31]  You could say it for Europe.
[00:11:32]  You could say it in Asian cultures as well.
[00:11:36]  Right?
[00:11:36]  Think about, okay, people say there's still an argument over who came up with noodles first.
[00:11:40]  The Chinese claim it's theirs along with fireworks.
[00:11:42]  I don't give a shit.
[00:11:43]  I prefer Italian pasta.
[00:11:44]  I'm inclined to believe them, but I do prefer the pasta.
[00:11:48]  But we distinctly think of pasta, a lot of dishes, as Italian.
[00:11:51]  So you think there's new roads?
[00:11:53]  You think the tomato is another one, too.
[00:11:54]  You think of Italian food, think of tomato red sauce.
[00:11:57]  Yeah.
[00:11:58]  They didn't have tomatoes in Italy until they came here.
[00:12:01]  Tomatoes were discovered in South America by Columbus or some other douche.
[00:12:04]  I don't know.
[00:12:06]  I don't know exactly who did it, but somebody found tomatoes here, brought them back to Europe, and the Italians are like, piece of stuff is delicious.
[00:12:13]  Of course.
[00:12:13]  And then they made everything out of it.
[00:12:15]  Yeah.
[00:12:15]  And they made it better, honestly.
[00:12:16]  Yeah, they did a pretty good job.
[00:12:17]  They weren't doing anything with it here.
[00:12:19]  Just think of making face painting.
[00:12:20]  Think of how often you see Asian people smoking.
[00:12:23]  It's like all the time.
[00:12:24]  The Chinese people, they're always smoking.
[00:12:25]  They love it.
[00:12:26]  That was something that was here in Native America, usually tobacco.
[00:12:28]  And now we don't really grow it here all that much.
[00:12:30]  You grow like cheap cigarette tobacco, but most of the tobacco grows in South America.
[00:12:33]  So melting pot is, you are now American.
[00:12:36]  And yeah, we know what that culture is.
[00:12:38]  And the base, the bouillon, the stock, if you will, is Judeo-Christian founding, Christian principles, the Constitution, Bill of Rights.
[00:12:50]  That's the basis of it.
[00:12:51]  That's the basis of it.
[00:12:52]  Okay.
[00:12:53]  Yeah.
[00:12:53]  It used to be celery.
[00:12:54]  Now you're chicken soup.
[00:12:55]  Yep, exactly right.
[00:12:56]  Whereas everyone else is like, no, no, celery here and raisins here and rice here.
[00:13:00]  And it can never work.
[00:13:02]  And you can't have a functioning society that way.
[00:13:04]  You have to all take part in American culture at large.
[00:13:08]  Did they bring up research of the guy who, I can't remember.
[00:13:11]  Israel Zangwill?
[00:13:12]  Israel Zanguil.
[00:13:13]  Is that it?
[00:13:13]  Yeah.
[00:13:13]  Because now people say, and anyone who says melting pot is a shill for the juice.
[00:13:16]  Look, that's what someone said last week to me.
[00:13:19]  You're using a term that people are familiar with because you go, okay, melting pot versus mosaic.
[00:13:23]  These are two approaches to large countries that have different cultures.
[00:13:28]  Say it this way.
[00:13:29]  Melting pot means assimilate.
[00:13:32]  Mosaic means just come to just consider it a lease.
[00:13:36]  You're on the land and you can create your own little fiefdom.
[00:13:39]  Okay.
[00:13:40]  No, it's assimilate.
[00:13:41]  That's when we say melting pot.
[00:13:42]  We mean the assimilation into American culture.
[00:13:45]  And I believe it's the best culture.
[00:13:47]  Here's, I'll present to you exhibit A. Our number one export is culture.
[00:13:52]  The rest of the world knows our movie stars.
[00:13:55]  They know our programs and you don't know theirs most of the time.
[00:13:58]  Every now and then you'll get a squid games.
[00:14:00]  It's hard to tell the difference between the actors, but you're like, it's pretty cool.
[00:14:04]  Outside of that, they all know, like, a good example, Arnold Schwarzenegger, okay?
[00:14:09]  Came from Austria.
[00:14:10]  People know Terminator.
[00:14:12]  People know Predator.
[00:14:13]  People know that he was, people know the governator.
[00:14:15]  He is now American, despite his silly accent.
[00:14:18]  And I get it for your freedoms.
[00:14:19]  I'm not a fan, but I'm just making a point.

=== Why Leftists Seek Debates (06:03) ===

[00:14:21]  All right.
[00:14:22]  Give me one more chance.
[00:14:22]  Well, hold on.
[00:14:23]  If we have a second, let's pull up this quick story from the New York Post.
[00:14:26]  Apparently, Chinese own TikTok allegedly meddling in the mayoral race by boosting Mamdani content over Cuomo according to leaked documents.
[00:14:35]  Well, I was just interviewed by the New York Times yesterday, and that's funny.
[00:14:40]  I didn't really tell you.
[00:14:40]  It seemed to be pretty fair.
[00:14:42]  But at one point, he was talking, he was asking me about, I guess, leftists now wanting to do some debates.
[00:14:50]  He said, you know, he was asking me kind of because you started to change my mind and it sort of started this new genre.
[00:14:54]  He said, what do you think about people on the left now?
[00:14:56]  They're seeing this thing.
[00:14:57]  They want to start debates.
[00:14:57]  I said, please do.
[00:14:59]  Please do.
[00:15:00]  I said, as long as it's authentic and it's truthful, please do.
[00:15:04]  I don't know why they didn't do it for a very long time.
[00:15:06]  And the only thing I would say that was a little bit, a couple of things.
[00:15:09]  He tried to bait me.
[00:15:10]  He goes, well, and they also say, obviously, that it's very lucrative.
[00:15:13]  And the clicks are bigger on the right.
[00:15:15]  So I said, yeah, imagine if it was an even playing field.
[00:15:19]  He said, what?
[00:15:20]  I said, you just mentioned it.
[00:15:21]  He mentioned a guy, Dean something on TikTok.
[00:15:24]  Dean Withers?
[00:15:25]  Okay.
[00:15:26]  And I said, yeah, imagine if it was an even playing field because you just said, you know, my channel was 6 million or whatever.
[00:15:31]  Well, I've been banned from TikTok.
[00:15:33]  I mean, the age-old question, how many jokes can you make about Xi Xing Ping's penis?
[00:15:36]  I can answer four.
[00:15:37]  I was banned on TikTok.
[00:15:38]  I said, then I've been demonetized for seven or eight years.
[00:15:42]  I said, so they're seeing success in spite of the fact that the deck is stacked against us.
[00:15:47]  The analogy, the example I use is Michael Phelps.
[00:15:50]  Remember, he won all those medals.
[00:15:52]  And there was a famous profile where he said he ate McDonald's like three times or four times a week.
[00:15:56]  And then every dumb college student was like, oh, I'm going to eat McDonald's.
[00:15:58]  Like, no, dummy.
[00:15:59]  He didn't win because of McDonald's.
[00:16:01]  He won all these medals because even God wants him to swim exclusively.
[00:16:06]  He has the wingspan of an albatross and a size 34 shoe.
[00:16:10]  He won in spite of eating McDonald's.
[00:16:13]  Conservatives have gained ground with open debate forms conversations in spite of the fact that we have been shadow banned, that we have been demonetized.
[00:16:23]  I'm not even allowed on TikTok to be clip.
[00:16:26]  How well do you think it would do on TikTok?
[00:16:27]  It's like change, the stuff is tailor-made for it.
[00:16:30]  We can't do it.
[00:16:31]  I said, you said five, six million.
[00:16:32]  I said, sure.
[00:16:33]  You know, if it was a fair, we'd be at 20 million.
[00:16:35]  I can give you the numbers because before we were demonetized, an average of 100 to some months, 240,000 new subscribers a month.
[00:16:43]  I think the lowest was 80.
[00:16:44]  We were demonetized, went down to 10,000 subscribers a month.
[00:16:47]  Remonetized accidentally for about three months.
[00:16:49]  Remember, whoops.
[00:16:51]  Went back up to 80 to 120,000 new subscribers a month.
[00:16:53]  Demonetized, went back down to 5,000.
[00:16:56]  Like clockwork.
[00:16:58]  I said, so I said, if they're doing this because they're going, oh, well, you know, the conservatives have been really effective.
[00:17:04]  So we, well, if they don't understand that it's in spite of it being stacked against, well, you know what?
[00:17:09]  They might be in for a rude awakening.
[00:17:11]  It should be really, really easy for them.
[00:17:12]  It's been more lucrative on the right for you.
[00:17:15]  Oh, is it lucrative if I'm not making money?
[00:17:18]  Yeah.
[00:17:19]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:17:19]  Lucrative for who?
[00:17:20]  YouTube, who's still getting the money from the advertisers and not giving it to me?
[00:17:24]  Outside of calling for death, leftists don't lose sponsors.
[00:17:28]  And even when that happens, sometimes they still don't.
[00:17:31]  If you were to add up, just think about it, oh, it's lucrative.
[00:17:35]  Would we say at least $10 million over the last seven, eight years?
[00:17:39]  Oh, but YouTube demonetized?
[00:17:41]  Gone.
[00:17:42]  We're funded by you.
[00:17:43]  We're funded by people who buy mugs and tune in and a sponsor a day.
[00:17:48]  These people, I mean, they are completely unfettered.
[00:17:51]  For crying all over, YouTube was co-producing alongside Vox, which was the reason for the demonetization.
[00:17:57]  So I don't know how I got on this conversation.
[00:17:59]  We were talking about something.
[00:17:59]  New York Post article that TikTok is favoring Momdani.
[00:18:02]  Shocker.
[00:18:03]  Because the left's playing and they go, see, this is what, now they want to push for legislation.
[00:18:06]  Like you hear Robert DeNio.
[00:18:07]  Oh, these people are getting this misinformation.
[00:18:10]  Well, here's the thing.
[00:18:11]  You guys did everything you could.
[00:18:12]  ABC, NBC, CBS, CNBC, MSNBC.
[00:18:16]  One point in time, Facebook, Instagram, Meta, all of it.
[00:18:21]  YouTube, Google, all of it.
[00:18:22]  Twitter, all of it.
[00:18:23]  Apple, Spotify, Microsoft, all of it.
[00:18:28]  All of it.
[00:18:29]  And we saw people de-platformed repeatedly within the span of a day on all those platforms.
[00:18:35]  So you've done everything you possibly can and colluded with the government to try and make sure that our voices don't get out there.
[00:18:42]  And they have.
[00:18:44]  And the left still plays victim.
[00:18:46]  Think about that.
[00:18:47]  So that's what they're saying.
[00:18:48]  That's what they're playing now.
[00:18:49]  They're going, we're going to start having these conversations, these debates.
[00:18:51]  Of course, they don't do it unedited.
[00:18:53]  He asked me too about Jubilee.
[00:18:56]  And he was like, why haven't you been on?
[00:18:57]  I said, I want to throw them under the bus.
[00:18:58]  They might have reached out.
[00:18:59]  He said, it's kind of like what you do.
[00:19:00]  He said, honestly, it feels more, he said, more formulaic, more entertainment.
[00:19:05]  Like your own side can buzz you and vote you out.
[00:19:08]  And it's really kind of clipped.
[00:19:10]  I said, oh, so it's like, change my mind, meet Survivor with a timer.
[00:19:13]  He said, yeah, pretty much.
[00:19:15]  Yeah.
[00:19:15]  And he did ask me, he said, but you know, do you think it hurts?
[00:19:18]  He said, and this is the thing.
[00:19:19]  I think he was pretty fair.
[00:19:21]  He said, I have seen, you know, watch the change of minds, and they're quite a bit different from other people long form.
[00:19:25]  He said, but you know, you know that it's going to get clipped and then that's going to create division because, you know, it'll become like a dunking thing.
[00:19:32]  I said, I do know that there are people out there who do that.
[00:19:37]  You can't say that about me because when I started it, there was no TikTok.
[00:19:41]  There were no YouTube shorts.
[00:19:42]  It wasn't a thing.
[00:19:44]  People either watched all of it or didn't.
[00:19:47]  So, I get that you could say that about these other people, but you can't paint me into that corner.
[00:19:51]  I think he was a decent guy.
[00:19:52]  I think it'll be fair.
[00:19:54]  But I tell you what, the left really doesn't know.
[00:19:57]  They really don't know the deficit that they've created for themselves right now.
[00:20:02]  And they try and lie to themselves and say, you know what, we're victims.
[00:20:06]  That's what it is.
[00:20:07]  They actually believe people on the left right now that Dean, whatever, these people, they're actually out there saying, well, if big tech and the media wasn't so far right-wing, we'd have as many subscribers as Steven Crowder.
[00:20:22]  Take your best shot.
