Yeah. | |
| Joe Biden made an interesting comment about how there is a liberal world order and soon | ||
| there will be a new world order. | ||
| Of course, the media went nuts saying, it's all a big conspiracy theory. | ||
| Ignore this. | ||
| Nothing's happening. | ||
| He just means like there's going to be a new order to the world. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Which is basically what new world order means to like everybody. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| But the interesting thing about this is that he makes a reference to generational change once every three to four generations. | ||
| 60 million deaths between, what do you say, 1900 and 1946 or something like that. | ||
| And so it very much sounds like Joe Biden is anticipating the fourth turning when he says there will be a new world order. | ||
| So we're going to talk about this, what it means, and what Joe Biden's... Look, I gotta say, Joe Biden's the conspiracy theorist. | ||
| If Joe Biden is the one saying there's a new world order coming, doesn't make him the conspiracy theorist. | ||
| But sure, whatever you say, media. | ||
| We've also got The Daily Wire. | ||
| Jeremy Boring has unleashed Jeremy's razors because Harry's razors cancelled on them for, you know, they were doing ads for Harry's, and then denounced their audience. | ||
| So they are firing up with their own grooming product and a subscription service I suppose it is and it is uh they released a commercial and it's one of the funniest commercials I've seen so we'll talk about that as well plus a bunch of other news we got James O'Keefe has published uh this is crazy that Biden's DOJ is spying on Project Veritas spying on these journalists going behind a judge's back because a judge issued a special ruling on a special master for Veritas so we're going to go into that the ACLU has actually issued a statement criticizing this report | ||
| Yet still denouncing Project Veritas, so I guess, sure, whatever. | ||
| So joining us to talk about this and much, much more is Emily Jaschinski. | ||
| How's it going? | ||
| Do you want to introduce yourself? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, I am host of Federalist Radio Hour, culture editor at The Federalist, and director of the National Journalism Center. | |
| Right on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Cool. | ||
| Quick. | ||
| Yeah, that's quick. | ||
| And also Jack Posobiec. | ||
| Jack Posobiec, host of Human Events Daily, Turnpoint USA, and former NAVA intel officer, and I'm sure we're gonna be talking a lot about both the judicial stuff and maybe touch on Ukraine as well. | ||
| Oh, definitely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You forgot to say you're a plaid enthusiast. | ||
| This is actually my first plaid shirt. | ||
| I am now dabbling in plaid. | ||
| I've decided to try it on. | ||
| I'm coming out as, you know, plaid curious. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Is there green in that plant? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's really brave, Jack. | |
| What's on your shirt? | ||
| I don't know, I think it's like ladybugs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I never looked that closely. | |
| Yeah, it's ladybugs. | ||
| We've had ladybugs in the house this year. | ||
| Yeah, they're everywhere. | ||
| Ian is actually drinking ladybug juice. | ||
| Eternal Red, a little bit of healthy healthy. | ||
| I'm coming back from a cold. | ||
| I basically started to get a cold, but if you kill it right away, because it's an immunodeficiency, it's a rhinovirus, it's an immunodeficiency virus. | ||
| If you get it before it infects your white blood cells, you can kind of just avoid it. | ||
| It seems like that happened. | ||
| Praise the Lord. | ||
| Everybody thought Ian was eating, like, sludge. | ||
| It's not true. | ||
| He was. | ||
| He was eating aloe vera. | ||
| I started getting aloe, just pure aloe filet, and then putting a little bit of Eternal Reds in there. | ||
| But let me not take any more time up. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Crossland and, of course, we have Lydia over here. | ||
| Yep, I'm here as well. | ||
| I'm not drinking any weird squeezings tonight. | ||
| I'm just drinking coconut water. | ||
| Always a delight to have one of my ladies. | ||
| You're also not wearing plaid. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| I'm not as plaid curious as Jack is, but Jack is rocking it. | ||
| So let's get going. | ||

| Now it's kind of not that much of an accomplishment. | ||
| We'll be ten times bigger than CNN. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, we'll be ten times. | ||
| We'll be twice. | ||
| So, uh, yeah, share the video, smash the like button. | ||
| Let's jump into this first story. | ||
| Okay, let's just read a bit about what Joe Biden said. | ||
| He said, Okay, can I just pause for a second? | ||
| Okay, let's just read a bit about what Joe Biden said. | ||
| He said, as one of the top military people said to me in a secure meeting the other day. | ||
| Okay, can I just pause for a second? | ||
| Oh my gosh, that is not what he said. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's right there. The top military people in the secure meeting about the new world order. | ||
| But I also... | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was just talking to Hunter. | |
| I want to point out the two crazy things. | ||
| No, they said it was secure. | ||
| It's a conspiracy theory, and Biden literally prefaced this by saying, | ||
| top military people in our secure meeting said it. | ||
| But also, why is Biden spilling secure meeting details to the public like in a rambly? | ||
| I just imagine that as he's talking, there's like, you know, Kamala is just like, and then you've got like Jen Psaki and they're going no, no, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway, he said, it's like we've discussed the new ways to assassinate Vladimir Putin. | |
| Personalized bioweapon, you see. | ||
| And you know, Hillary was on the shelf. | ||
| Hillary was there and she said, can't we just drone this guy? | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| All right, hold on. | ||
| Here's a quote. | ||
| Here's what Biden said. | ||
| As one of the top military people said to me in a secure meeting the other day, 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946. | ||
| And since then, we've established a liberal world order. | ||
| And that hadn't happened in a long while. | ||
| A lot of people dying, but nowhere near the chaos. | ||
| And now is a time when things are shifting. | ||
| There's going to be a new world order out there and we've got to lead it and we've got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it. | ||
| They then go on to say several people online took Biden using the phrase new world order to confirm the existence of the aforementioned conspiracy theory. | ||
| Here's what they do. | ||
| Here's what the media is doing. | ||
| Powerful world leaders like Clinton, George H.W. Bush, even Hillary Clinton, | ||
| they've all said there will be a new world order. | ||
| Now for most people, they think that means there's going to be a global | ||
| system, a judicial system or legal system because the Council on Foreign Relations | ||
| publicly states that's what their intention is with the liberal world order. | ||
| They said after World War II to prevent war, various, you know, powerful institutions came together and created, you know, international organizations and treaties to prevent this from ever happening again. | ||
| And now there's going to be a new version of that. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's all it means. | ||
| So the media will, will push the most insane, absurd version of the conspiracy so they can try and discredit what Joe Biden just outright said that in a secure meeting, he was told this. | ||
| But I think there's also, and it's, you know, to go back to the headline of the show tonight, there's something even deeper that Biden is getting at because it's not just that he's talking about setting up a new version of the world order. | ||
| He's essentially describing the fourth turning. | ||
| So that means the president of the United States just came out and said that he was briefed by the top levels of our military that we are in a fourth turning. | ||
| Is that not what he just said? | ||
| That's exactly it. | ||
| Look, he didn't say literally the fourth term, but you're right. | ||
| That's essentially what he's getting at. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, you know, the only conclusion... So clearly they're reading some Strauss Howe and this is... He said four generations, I believe. | ||
| That's too much. | ||
| It's obvious they're watching Tim Castile, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| I think they actually, some people at the White House are, because when we were watching Biden's campaign speech, it was a State of the Union, but he didn't really get a State of the Union. | ||
| He called it a campaign speech. | ||
| We were like, why are they so tight on Biden? | ||
| And then they pulled out the camera. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| And they're like, I think they're watching. | ||
| And then they went back in on his face. | ||
| Thanks, guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, this is an administration that is literally working right now on a global minimum corporate tax, right? | |
| And so it's not as though there's something very literal happening when you say new world order. | ||
| And that's why the conversation about a new world order is immensely frustrating, because there's a literal meaning to the term new world order that has been explicit among global leaders for forever. | ||
| And every once in a while, they slip up and say a buzzword that's associated with conspiracy theories. | ||
| But that's what's frustrating about the dismissal of this as a conspiracy theory. | ||
| It's like, listen, we have an IMF. | ||
| We have a World Bank. | ||
| We have a United Nations. | ||
| We're working on a global minimum tax right now. | ||
| This stuff is pretty much out in the open. | ||
| And when you have a slip from the president of the United States like this, even from an administration that would avoid sort of veering into that territory, it's extremely telling. | ||
| And it's not even as though, to the point about a fourth turning, that's not even in the Biden consciousness. | ||
| He's just talking about What his job is, which is to be friends with Boris Johnson and Angela Merkel and all these people and to have control at their fingertips. | ||
| Well, I think it's both. | ||
| I do think it's both, though. | ||
| Because he talks about the 60 million dying and that it's this cycle that happens every three to four generations. | ||
| So the preface of it is where he's talking about the fourth turning and that this leads to setting up a new version of that. | ||
| They always have to say rules-based order, so they can't say new world order. | ||
| Who wants to read what website that is? | ||
| What organization? | ||
| World Economic Forum. | ||
| Can you pull up the article? | ||
| Yeah, here we go. | ||
| So it's from the World Economic Forum. | ||
| Who wants to read the title? | ||
|
unidentified
|
136 countries have agreed to a global minimum tax rate. | |
| Here's what it means. | ||
| That's a great price, Jack. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| So, the World Economic Forum is citing Reuters. | ||
| But clearly, you know, the reason I pull this up is the World Economic Forum is very much interested in a lot of this global policy, New World Order stuff. | ||
| The Council on Foreign... You know what? | ||
| Let me do this. | ||
| Let me... Well, let's read a little bit here. | ||
| The countries behind the global minimum tax rate together account for over 90% of the global economy. | ||
| So that is to say, 90% of the global economy are agreeing to a global corporate minimum tax rate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which means they're agreeing to the infrastructure to support and enforce a global minimum tax rate. | |
| So it's not just that you can make this argument that like, listen, if we were all in an even playing field, things would make more sense economically. | ||
| No, they're creating an infrastructure to enforce a global minimum tax rate. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now check this out. | ||
| This is the Council on Foreign Relations website. | ||
| NewsGuard certified. | ||
| 100 out of 100. | ||
| Is it a conspiracy theory when the Council on Foreign Relations says, what is the liberal world order? | ||
| And they literally say, world leaders created a series of international organizations and agreements to promote global cooperation on issues including security, trade, health, and monetary policy. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| has championed this system known as the liberal world order for the past 75 years. | ||
| During this time, the world has enjoyed unprecedented peace and prosperity. | ||
| I just gotta pause real quick. | ||
| Especially the troops in Vietnam, man. | ||
| They've had a gravity for 75 years. | ||
| Korea. | ||
| That was also very peaceful. | ||
| The bombing of Belgrade. | ||
| Kicking the doors in Iraq was very peaceful for those soldiers. | ||
| Rwanda. | ||
| Peaceful Rwanda. | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| They're, man, it's very Jen Psaki-ian. | ||
| It's like, They're bragging about the thing they've done, but it's been an unmitigated failure across the board. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But also it doesn't exist. | |
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| We've created world peace and world order. | ||
| Michael Anton actually has a great formulation for what this is, and he calls it the Celebration Parallax. | ||
| And so the celebration parallax means when they talk about it, it is good and laudatory. | ||
| But if anyone mentions it in a critical sense, not only are they wrong, but also the thing they're discussing doesn't exist. | ||
| The New World Order is Amazing. | ||
| And just so great. | ||
| And I'm really excited for Klaus Schwab and all that stuff. | ||
| I can't wait to not own anything because I'm going to be so happy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But this is what's interesting is that we lose, and I wrote about this recently, that we have this nuclear order and nuclear technology is literally younger than some people walking this earth. | |
| And it is the most dramatic technological advancement that has ever happened in the history of humanity. | ||
| And it's happened over the course of people's lifetimes. | ||
| Like it has happened that quickly. | ||
| And we take for granted how dramatically it changed the way that we operate. | ||
| And so the new world order is actually really new. | ||
| It's really new. | ||
| And it's something that like, when you have all this technology at your fingertips, of course, the leaders of the United States, of course, the leaders of all of these different countries are going to want to have the power concentrated at their fingertips, because it's so powerful. | ||
| And because they want, they have this sort of technological ability to do it now, that they can concentrate power and rule over everyone, because they're terrified of what would happen if they didn't. | ||
| What I'm wondering is, are the governments making concessions with these corporations? | ||
| Like, they're like, the writing's on the wall, the corporations are taking over, let's just intercede with them instead of try and resist. | ||
| Like, you said that they're all working together to create a global tax rate. | ||
| I wonder if it's just like the governments have given up and they're like, hey, corporations are coming. | ||
| Klaus Schwab's right. | ||
| Corporate governments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I totally think so. | |
| I think they're the same. | ||
| I mean, Trump's first secretary of state was Rex Tillerson. | ||
| Like he was like literally the CEO of Exxon. | ||
| And people it's like mind boggling to me that people forget that. | ||
| But I think they're basically the same at this point. | ||
| I just like to point out that the Council on Foreign Relations basically describes the New World Order conspiracy theory as something that's already happened. | ||
| That's the weird thing. | ||
| For 75 years. | ||
| For 75 years there has been a liberal world economic order. | ||
| Where a liberal world order where world leaders created a series of international organizations and agreements to promote global cooperation on issues including security, trade, health, and monetary policy. | ||
| I said it fast. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Anyway, the point is, now that Biden is like, every three to four generations something changes, basically saying we're in the fourth turning, and there's going to be a new world order, no longer the liberal world order, there'll be a new world order. | ||
| Well, I don't understand why they're acting like it's not a real thing. | ||
| But it's also, what we are actually seeing, and the question is, will we, will this trigger a Thucydides trap, right? | ||
| Because, and I believe it's The Economist that came out and dubbed what we're starting to see the, just the sort of edges of right now are, or is, an alternative world order. | ||
| And this is the idea that because the U.S. | ||
| is sanctioning Russia so hard, because the U.S. | ||
| is now sanctioning CCP officials, they've threatened sanctions on India. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| You put those three countries together, that's over half the world's population. | ||
| So they are going to find a way to work together outside of you, and they're going to build their own order in order to do so. | ||
| So the Saudis, of course, are already selling oil in in the yuan. So they're getting away from the petrodollar. | ||
| You might see a rise. | ||
| Wait, they're already doing it? | ||
| They're discussing it. | ||
| You're also seeing India and Russia are already starting to trade in between their own currencies. | ||
| They're not using U.S. dollars. So that's the point of all of this, because all of these | ||
| transactions are done, at least certainly for oil and energy writ large, are done in U.S.-backed | ||
| currency. So that's the SWIFT system. So the idea that the U.S. dollar is just fiat is actually, | ||
| I'm sorry, crypto bros, it's not 100 percent correct, because the U.S. dollar is essentially | ||
| backed by something, and that's oil. Because of this artificial demand for U.S. dollars, | ||
| because of foreign countries always needing to convert into the U.S. dollar, that props it up. | ||
| So it's not necessarily gold-backed. It's sort of oil-backed by this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Global liberal. | |
| I mean, nothing stopping any one of these countries or world leaders from switching off of the US dollar. | ||
| I mean, Saddam Hussein did it. | ||
| Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi wanted to do it. | ||
| Gaddafi, that worked out for him, too. | ||
| Yeah, it worked out really well for them, didn't it? | ||
| A lot of guys could just tell the US government, like, F you, I'm doing my country my own way and they don't really care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so they're all anti-nationalist, right? | |
| Like nationalism is terrible. | ||
| It is intentionally conflated with white nationalism unless it's Ukrainians fighting Putin. | ||
| And then everyone that's sort of in the neoliberal establishment loves nationalism and celebrates it. | ||
| And we see stories in the media and CNN of these Ukraine patriots who are, you know, just carrying the banner of nationalism, which these same people think is so icky here because it's about they see themselves as citizens of the world. | ||
| And that's especially true of the people, like, that doesn't mean you can't be American, but you see yourself as a global citizen, right? | ||
| They have something literally called the Global Citizen Festival before your nationality, but you watch how quickly that flips when the nationalists are in support of their agenda, basically. | ||
| Right, so CNN will, you know, argue that somebody should be fired from their job because they're cracking their knuckles and it accidentally looks like an OK symbol, but An actual commander of the Azov battalion was just on CNN yesterday, who are an avowed far-right neo-Nazi replete unit within the Ukrainian military. | ||
| Who was it who was straightening their jacket before an interview? | ||
| Stephen Miller. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they said it was a double white power. | |
| People are insane. | ||
| I can't I don't understand how anybody the same people right and what Emily's point the same people who will see Nazis everywhere behind every shadow here in the United States when they're faced with an actual group of avowed Neo-nazis a boy who cried will say oh no no no no no no those people they're fine because they're fighting for something that we need to fight against I was researching the Azov and I look back it looks like the Germans after World War One took Ukraine as like a protectorate and then a bunch of Germans were there and then when World War Two broke out a bunch of Nazis were there in Western Ukraine and started like got really vicious and started up Azov. | ||
| I don't know much about it, but this is where I got to from there. | ||
| This is why there's Germans why there were Nazis in Western Ukraine is because it was a holdover from the wars. | ||
| It's not so much that it was, it's not so much that it was a whole, I mean, I think you have a half of it, right? | ||
| It's, it's this idea, and it wasn't Azov battalion back then, it was this guy Stepan Bandera, who was, who, so Banderites and Banderism was, arose because of this. | ||
| Now, it started off as being an anti-Soviet movement and a pro-Ukrainian nationalism movement, kind of like you were talking about. | ||
| But then it went completely extreme very quickly. | ||
| And even before the Germans arrived in World War Two, they were essentially declaring themselves on the side of the Germans, because they were so anti-Soviet Union. | ||
| So they start slaughtering Russians, they start slaughtering Poles, Jews. | ||
| If you basically if you were in that area of Western Ukraine, it's known as West Galatia, or excuse me, East Galatia, that you were basically not Ukrainian, you were just completely wiped out by this guy Bandera. | ||
| But the previous president of Ukraine just recently actually named him as a hero of Ukraine and a hero of the | ||
| nation. | ||
| There's statues to this guy that are up in their city squares. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They must be torn to the ground. | |
| There was a photo of one of the Azov guys with the black sun. | ||
| I think it was, was that it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| He was wearing like a... You see them everywhere. | ||
| I think it was, there was a Reuters article where they had someone who had the patch on and they had to, they actually blurred it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Oh, that's the SS symbol. | ||
| Himmler, Himmler did that. | ||
| It's not a good symbol. | ||
| I hadn't read about it yet. | ||
| I know the symbol though. | ||
| You know, we got a weird whatever is going on in this country where there are shows like this where we're able to point out that Ukraine has staunch nationalists and, you know, overt neo-Nazi ideology, yet the mainstream media is cheering for it. | ||
| The Antifa left is now pro-fa, I guess. | ||
| You know, pro-fascist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, it's so incredibly offensive because they have no idea what they've done to the | |
| country. | ||
| They actually don't understand the fear that they've instilled in normal working class | ||
| people who, for instance, really like Donald Trump and are afraid that they're going to | ||
| be called a Nazi, a literal Nazi, by people at their office place, by the Human Resources | ||
| Department for tweeting something in support of Trump or Facebooking something in support | ||
| And so it is just like to see this. | ||
| It is so incredibly offensive because they spent years seeing Nazis everywhere. | ||
| I have a question, though. | ||
| What would happen if someone made black sun buttons, like pins, but it was yellow and blue, like the Ukrainian flag, and it said Azov, you know, on the top? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can see that Kleenex box is yellow and blue. | |
| Oh yeah, look at that! | ||
| Do you think these leftists would wear that if you told them, like, some pro-Ukrainian symbol of Azov? | ||
| They'd walk around wearing actual Nazi symbols. | ||
| Oh yeah, they wouldn't care. | ||
| That'd be a good Ryan Long segment to do or something. | ||
| It comes down to emotion in that situation. | ||
| Are they familiar with the symbol and does it strike an emotional chord? | ||
| If it does, they'll stay away from it. | ||
| But if they don't know, they'll gladly accept it. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| I'll ask you a couple of different scenarios. | ||
| Let's say you go to Union Square in New York City and you have these pins. | ||
| And you walk up to someone and say, hey, would you wear this in support of the freedom fighters in Ukraine? | ||
| They have a battalion. | ||
| It's the Ukrainian flag. | ||
| They'll probably say yes, right? | ||
| Now, what if you said, would you wear this in support of the Azov battalion, it's the Ukrainian flag, and the Nazis' black sun? | ||
| This is their symbol. | ||
| You think they would wear it then? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You still think they would? | ||
| If you said it was the Nazi black sun? | ||
| You think they would still do it? | ||
| I think they would get a short circuit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It doesn't process. | |
| What's even more interesting to me, though, is that, you know, you go up to | ||
| people who have never heard of Ukraine, have never heard of Belarus, you know, | ||
| maybe other than in some like abstract discussion, probably can't find it on a | ||
| map and yet are now suddenly these experts on it. | ||
| And also it becomes their entire identity just overnight. | ||
| The same people who were, you know, vaccine experts a couple of weeks before. | ||
| And prior to that, they were epidemiologists. | ||
| And before that, they were racism experts throughout all of 2020. | ||
| Historians. | ||
| And now they're military members who are saying, you know, these ridiculous comments like, oh, you should just run up and throw paint at the tank and that'll, you know, that'll stop them. | ||
| And, you know, throw some water balloons at it with, you know, filled with paint. | ||
| My personal favorite was when Zelensky held up the red salute and I said, I didn't know if he was supporting Black Lives Matter or communism. | ||
| It was meant to be like tongue in cheek. | ||
| And then I got a bunch of responses where they're like, you wouldn't have, you're a coward. | ||
| You don't have the balls to go to Ukraine. | ||
| And I was just like, you know, cause I've been there three times. | ||
| Well, you were there in the original coup. | ||
| I was there, yeah, I was there in the start of the Eurodynamic protests for several months, and then I went back, you know, a couple years later and, you know, sort of followed up and did a little video and stuff. | ||
| So, yeah, I was actually there, and I had, you know, guys surrounding me screaming at me, and I was like, American journalist, and they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, you're cool now, come on in. | ||
| Dude, it was crazy. | ||
| We got to go inside a government building they'd ransacked, they'd like... | ||
| What city were you in? | ||
| all the paperwork and pulled it all out. | ||
| It was nuts. | ||
| Crazy times, man. | ||
| I wasn't there when they, when they started throwing the fire bombs. | ||
| That what city were you in? | ||
| I was in Kiev. | ||
| I was in Yerevan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This is the, you know, the independent square, they call it or whatever. | ||
| Euro, my Dan, that's my Dan square square, but they were calling it Euro | ||
| my Dan because they all wanted to be in the EU. | ||
| And the crazy thing is we went to a pro Yanukovych rally where everyone's | ||
| waving these flags and it was being reported in British press as like, | ||
| so Yanukovych, just for people who don't know Yanukovych was the current | ||
| president at this time, who essentially blew up this economic package for the | ||
| EU that a lot of people wanted him to sign. | ||
| You know, they wanted him to sign this, please do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who hired Tony Podesta and Paul Manafort to massage their messaging in the Senate with Hillary Clinton's State Department. 100%. | |
| Wait, Yanukovych did? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And they set it up through something called the European Center for a Modern Ukraine to try and get around FARA laws because it looked like they were just working for this neutral think tank. | ||
| It's beautifully corrupt. | ||
| And all the payments were going through Cyprus. | ||
| So the Ukrainians get all mad and very upset about this, at least in places like Kiev so they launched this massive protest turns very violent but you also had Ukrainians who were still supporting Yanukovych and he had been at the time the democratically elected president of the country. | ||
| So you did have these dueling these dueling protests in the background. | ||
| Just to clear that up, Yanukovych was working with Tony Podesta. | ||
| He hired Tony Podesta? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| So he had a lobbying operation in the United States that included Paul Manafort, who was working for Mercury at the time, and Tony Podesta's Podesta Group, which is now defunct, which is amazing because it was one of the biggest lobbying firms in D.C. | ||
| One of the most powerful lobbying firms in D.C. | ||
| And it went corrupt. | ||
| I mean, it went defunct over this corruption because it came out he was a casualty of the war against Trump, the media's war against Trump, because they obviously caught Paul Manafort on this and he was So Yanukovych wanted to join the Americans, or was he a Russian? | ||
| And you can look at the lobbying records of Tony Podesta's firm meeting with people in | ||
| Hillary Clinton's State Department as a representative for the European Center for Modern Ukraine, | ||
| which he later admitted he knew was basically being, was a front for Yanukovych. | ||
| So Yanukovych wanted to join the Americans or was he a Russian? | ||
| I thought he was a Russian puppet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's what, and Jack could probably explain this better, but that goes, that has | |
| happened in different ways depending on a time. | ||
| So if it's before the EU, the collapse of the EU deal, it's different than if it was after. | ||
| What I was told when I was down there. | ||
| But since we're talking about that, you have to point out Mueller goes after Manafort, | ||
| who had been Trump's campaign manager. | ||
| Trump has to fire Manafort after all of this comes out in like March of 16 or so. | ||
| I mean, it may have been later than that. | ||
| They have this thing called the Black Ledger, which turns out to be fake, | ||
| but supposedly made by Ukrainian operatives, but ended up, you know, | ||
| they said it was the like illegal. | ||
| legal payments to Manafort. | ||
| But throughout all of this, Manafort have been doing it through the Podesta group. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Podesta and Tony Podesta were given immunity during all of this, but Manafort has to go down for it. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I was, I was told by some of the activists that their view, at | ||
| least a lot of the students and a lot of protesters was that | ||
| Yanukovych was playing both sides that he would, you know, well, clearly, right. | ||
| So he was trying to get these deals, these sweet, you know, deals from the, from the West. | ||
| And then he would go to Russia and be like, Oh, look what they're going to do for us. | ||
| And so people were like, the protesters wanted to be a part of the EU, being a part of the EU. | ||
| This is what, this is their, their perspective. | ||
| We could move to Poland. | ||
| We could move to the UK, get jobs. | ||
| The economy is going to immediately improve. | ||
| Our lives will immediately improve. | ||
| And that's one of the reasons the EU was like, hold on there. | ||
| Hold on there. | ||
| We'll figure it out. | ||
| But the concern was Ukraine's economy was too weak. | ||
| A lot of them were scared, they said. | ||
| And also the levels of corruption. | ||
| You need to meet certain wickets and certain bars before you can gain entry to the EU. | ||
| And truth be told, that's what Biden said. | ||
| Biden was saying, you know, corruption was a big deal. | ||
| We were trying to weed out the corruption. | ||
| It's just funny because I don't trust him because he is corrupt. | ||
| He's like, I got to know for myself. | ||
| I'm putting my son on the board of Burisma. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is amazing again. | |
| Once we get our money out of Burisma then... | ||
|
unidentified
|
And when you start peeling back the layers of the Russia collusion hoax, and you find at the bottom here that Tony Podesta is the brother of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, and was taking money from Yanukovych, who you, you know, playing both sides, I think is a fair way to say it, and fled to Russia, by the way, after the collapse of that deal, and was protected by Putin's government. | |
| When you peel back to that layer, you realize what bullshit this is. | ||
| Yanukovych hired Tony Podesta, who was running Podesta Group at the time? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, exactly. | |
| And so he hired Podesta, and he hired Manafort, because that's how lobbying works in D.C. | ||
| They need to have a Republican and a Democrat, basically, to get what they want done so that they can massage both the Republicans and the Democrats. | ||
| And that's why I always use this example of one of the—it so perfectly crystallizes corruption in D.C. | ||
| So if Yanukovych was working with the Americans and the Podesta Group to come up with this American-style thing, then why would Podesta flee to Russia? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, Yanukovych. | |
| Oh, okay, I thought you said Tony Podesta did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Yanukovych, got it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I don't know where Tony Podesta is. | |
| I think he's in New York City. | ||
| I could be wrong about that. | ||
| Didn't he live with Abramovich, that woman? | ||
| Weren't they, like, friends? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| She did all that, like, cooking, that, like, blood cooking. | ||
| They're just weird people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, weird stuff. | |
| She did that famous, uh, The Artist is Present. | ||
| Did you ever see that? | ||
| I actually saw it in person. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Because I was visiting... Real quick though, for those that don't know, she just sat in a room for like 30 days? | ||
| Is that what it was? | ||
| No, it's like the lobby of MoMA, of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. | ||
| She just sat in MoMA. | ||
| And on like the second floor lobby. | ||
| But I was going at the time because they had the Tim Burton exhibit that was only going to be there for a little bit. | ||
| And it was sort of, so Tim Burton opened up his archives And, you know, everything from Edward Scissorhands to Beetlejuice to, like, the Batman costume, the Joker's stuff, the Nightmare Before Christmas, all the little Jack Skellington heads and everything. | ||
| And I was like, oh, that's great. | ||
| Tim Burton, let's, you know, we were in New York. | ||
| I said, we got to check this out because it was only there for a limited time. | ||
| They had like a sandworm from Beetlejuice coming out of the ceiling. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| But as we're going up, we see this woman in all red, this red dress, just sitting in a chair, and there's this sort of roped area around it. | ||
| And everybody's looking at her, and you know, this is probably like maybe 2010 or so. | ||
| You know, I'm looking at it and I was like, what's with the lady in the chair? | ||
| Why are people looking? | ||
| I said, oh no, it's high art. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're not sending their best. | |
| Is she going to be drawing something? | ||
| Does she do caricatures like the people on the street or something? | ||
| Let me tell you what's disconcerting. | ||
| What's disconcerting to me is that people would come in and you could wait in line to sit down in a chair like in front of her. | ||
| And there were people who would like sit down and start crying. | ||
| They would just start like start crying. | ||
| And it's I'm just like, why do you why are you crying? | ||
| You know, just people I don't know, man. | ||
| I really wonder sometimes about a lot of people. | ||
| I'm just gonna say it again for the 800th time in the past week. | ||
| Every day we get a new story that's a hoax. | ||
| There's a we got the Supreme Court hearings going on for what's her name? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Katonji Jackson. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And someone tweeted, let me just remind everybody that Christine Blasey Ford credibly accused Brett Kavanaugh and Republicans didn't care. | ||
| And I just see that and I'm just like, dude, you guys, you lie about basically every major political story nonstop all day, every day. | ||
| And then a month goes by and it gets debunked. | ||
| I'll give you an example. | ||
| out and point at the sky and say there's a giant meteor. | ||
| I'm not looking up. | ||
| Just like the movie. | ||
| No, no, no, you're not going to get me. | ||
| It's the easiest motion in the world to look up. | ||
| I won't do it. | ||
| Screw you. | ||
| You guys are liars. | ||
| I'll give you an example. | ||
| Today is the three year anniversary. | ||
| Three years it's been of the Mueller report coming out and that press conference that | ||
| he gave completely debunking the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Three years since the debunking of the hoax is today. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And yet you go to anybody on the left or your casual CNN, MSNBC viewer, they all believe it 100%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, they're bringing it back. | |
| I mean, it's having actually a revival, which is really interesting. | ||
| You're seeing a lot more people on the left continuing to talk about it now because it's their deflection point. | ||
| When they talk about the Biden administration's handling of Ukraine, they're like, well, Donald Trump was in bed with Putin. | ||
| We've been doing this for years and you still haven't understood. | ||
| You still haven't reckoned with the disaster that that was. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| Nothing persuades them otherwise. | ||
| They meant to solidify this sort of, you know, government takeover that they were pushing in Ukraine, bringing them into the NATO fold, bringing them into the security blanket. | ||
| During the Hillary Clinton administration. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But of course, the Hillary Clinton administration never took place. | ||
| And so they needed this placeholder to sort of keep that going, keep that energy going for throughout the four years of Trump. | ||
| And then that became the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. | ||
| Then finally, after 2020, which is essentially the same kind of domestic color revolution that we were just talking about, the color revolution of Maidan, you see those exact same tactics being used here in the United States, right down to the violent riots in cities. | ||
| And then now that it then when it ended suddenly Ukraine and Victoria Nuland the same exact person who was behind so much of that in 2013 2014 comes right back in. | ||
| Toria Nuland, what's her connection with Kolomoisky? | ||
| I think they have a connection, don't they? | ||
| I'm into this Kolomoisky guy. | ||
| We talked a little bit about him before. | ||
| He's like a Ukrainian billionaire. | ||
| I don't know what you call him. | ||
| Oligarch? | ||
| He's like the puppet master. | ||
| Or looks like to be. | ||
| Let's jump over to some domestic issues. | ||
| Very important domestic cultural issues that will shock the soul. | ||
| We have this story from Yahoo Life. | ||
| Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring of the Daily Wire announced Jeremy's Razor's campaign against Harry's. | ||
| If you guys haven't seen this yet, you've got to watch the best, the greatest commercial ever they released in the Daily Wire. | ||
| And it's legit really, really good. | ||
| Basically, the Daily Wire was sponsored by Harry's Razors. | ||
| Harry's Razors got tweeted at by a high school kid. | ||
| No joke, like a person who said, I'm in high school. | ||
| And with two followers and said you guys are bigots so Harry's was like we hereby denounce the Daily Wire | ||
| So the Daily Wire has launched I hate Harry's comm and they've launched their own | ||
| Jeremy's razors with this commercial and it's brilliant. | ||
| Not only is it funny. It's silly. It's over-the-top He takes a flamethrower to Harry's and Gillette. He goes | ||
| after these companies who hate you Not just Harry's, but also Gillette. | ||
| Saying, you know, men are too toxic or whatever. | ||
| And now the Daily Wire's launched their own male grooming products. | ||
| I think it's brilliant for two reasons. | ||
| One, the cultural issue of it. | ||
| Taking back the culture, bringing back comedy. | ||
| I'm looking at what the Daily Wire is doing. | ||
| I'm seeing the way they're filming things, and I'm like, this feels very much like 2009-2010 Vice. | ||
| You know, when it was edgy, funny, over-the-top, offensive. | ||
| When it was Vice. | ||
| When it was Vice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, and so the interesting thing, and I reported a year ago that this was in the works, and I kind of figured maybe it wasn't going to happen. | |
| And I'm glad that it did happen because it seems like a silly thing. | ||
| And I remember when I reported it, I was like, is this newsworthy? | ||
| But it absolutely is when you think about it, because what The Daily Wire is doing is creating this parallel infrastructure to the so-called mainstream infrastructure. | ||
| And there, if you look at like Gina Carano, she gets purged from Hollywood. | ||
| She's a legit actress. | ||
| She gets purged and The Daily Wire creates a soft landing pad for her. | ||
| Which then creates more incentives for other people in Hollywood to be open about what they think because they can land somewhere when they get purged and somewhere legitimate. | ||
| And so when you create this parallel infrastructure, you create real competition to the monopoly that wokeism has on corporate America. | ||
| And so that, I mean, we talk about monopolies and antitrust, but this is like an ideological monopoly and there's no way to create competition for it because every single corporation is dominated by this ideology. | ||
| And that's what they're doing. | ||
| Well, it's similar to the cancellation arbitrage that we were literally just talking about with sort of the new world order versus the alternative world order, because sanctions on the international stage, on the domestic stage, is cancellation. | ||
| And so Russia, China, India building up their own parallel economy. | ||
| It actually kind of mirrors what we're seeing happening domestically with conservatives or just sort of anti-woke companies and economies of scale starting to be built out and now supply chains, parallel social media, everything from Rumble to various social media platforms that are being built out. | ||
| And it's very similar how the mainstream is the one that's kicking people out, but because You've kicked out now so many people. | ||
| Well, that's enough to form a critical mass where you can now build your own structure in your system. | ||
| So we're seeing it happening domestically with things like this, but we're also seeing it happening internationally. | ||
| I think it's falling apart. | ||
| I think it's breaking apart. | ||
| You know, the liberal world order, this unified system, Visa, MasterCard is being split here in the United States. | ||
| The economy is being split. | ||
| It might be a way to bypass. | ||
| What would you call it? | ||
| Where there's when one superpower raises up and then a specific strategy, maybe way to buy that. I don't know because when you look at the | ||
| way Russia got economically canceled there's no way to strike back when | ||
| you're a military and then you get canceled by visa there's no country to attack | ||
| with your military it's all money what could happen is starvation and then | ||
| people rise up against the starvation like hey you can't starve us like | ||
| this then they take up arms and are called villainized and then then that | ||
| could cause some sort of conflict | ||
| But I don't think it's going to get that extreme because Russia, China and the United States are capable of growing their own food for the most part. | ||
| Well, not only that, but Russia and China can direct. | ||
| I mean, they have a massive border with each other. | ||
| They can directly trade. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| Or, you know, they have some in you talk about Central Asia. | ||
| They have mutually beneficial countries that are that they have good relations with that they can trade through. | ||
| So they don't need to. | ||
| You know, the United States Navy can't interdict trade between China and Russia. | ||
| So, you know, they don't need us basically. | ||
| What we need in the United States is more of what the Daily Wire is doing. | ||
| Shaving products. | ||
| So not only that, but Daily Wire has a streaming service they're building up, right? | ||
| I'm totally jealous of the stuff these guys are working on because they're hitting the nail on the head with a hammer. | ||
| So we need to think about woke companies that have either a monopoly or close to one, and then start actually making products. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so and one of the most interesting things I've experienced in reporting on The Daily Wire's kind of ascent is being on the set of Terror on the Prairie, which is the new Gina Carano movie, was fascinating because I was talking to all of these people just from the crew. | |
| Who have spent their careers in Hollywood and they're not sort of like, some of them are like red meat conservatives, but a lot of them aren't. | ||
| They're just artists. | ||
| And finally, I think when you create again, those landing pads, it's not just that top bill talent. | ||
| It's not just your Gina Carano's. | ||
| It was makeup artists. | ||
| It was people on the crew and to a degree that I was really surprised by who weren't just like, oh, hey, it's another job. | ||
| They were like, no, no, no, we're here because we're really excited not to promote a conservative message, but to promote the message that we're giving a middle finger to Hollywood. | ||
| And that's what artists need to feel comfortable doing. | ||
| And The Daily Wire is creating spaces for that. | ||
| And it's going to be really, really powerful. | ||
| At least so far, it seems like it has been. | ||
| And the talent that they're snatching up is also very interesting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, the fascinating thing is that I'm watching the commercial and it's remarkably well made in terms of production quality. | ||
| Yeah, it's just absolutely... Speaking of, you want to roll that thing? | ||
| We able to roll that commercial? | ||
| It's like, what is it, like three or four minutes long? | ||
| But he has a flamethrower. | ||
| He's got a flamethrower. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| You know, I've done Candace's show down there a couple of times. | ||
| And just to talk about, you know, the behind the scenes of that, they have a live studio audience. | ||
| Yeah, where they do the show and the show is shot live to tape. | ||
| And so you've got people that are in there a couple hundred people per episode that and everybody's, you know, dressed very professionally dressed like really, really nice. | ||
| The audience is, you know, kept live. | ||
| There's like an MC that kind of comes in between when they're changing up the sets. | ||
| I mean, there's so much that goes on behind the scenes there. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, and their gift shop is one of the things that sounds silly but that blew me away because if you go to their gift shop and they have one outside the set where they do Candace's show, it's things that, it's sort of like inside Daily Wire jokes, but you can see how they're tapping into this really kind of, I don't know, cultural populist sentiment that I don't think anybody else has come close to doing yet. | |
| I have always loved the jokes they've had on their show. | ||
| It's always been a running joke that Ben is going to fire Michael Knowles. | ||
| It's always been a running joke that Matt is a cranky old crab. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's an old coon. | |
| He's not even that old, but that's his persona. | ||
| They come up with these personas. | ||
| They're very personable. | ||
| They're very funny. | ||
| They get along with each other. | ||
| They smoke cigars together. | ||
| I think it's awesome. | ||
| So Harry's, this is interesting. | ||
| You know, I don't know of many companies that have co-CEOs. | ||
| Is that like a normal thing? | ||
| Because the Daily Wire has a co-CEO. | ||
| But we have a statement here from Jeff Rader, they say, co-founder and co-CEO of Harry's. | ||
| He states, we created Harry's to offer better shaving and grooming products for everyone. | ||
| We believe deeply in free speech, but draw the line at hate. | ||
| We'll continue to support our customers and community with kindness and compassion. | ||
| A spokesperson from the brand continued by saying that Harry's does advertise across the various media, including the conservative Fox News. | ||
| However, the brand is not associated with entities that engage in or endorse hate speech. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a Harry's subscription, you should cancel it and get a Jeremy's subscription. | ||
| Immediately! | ||
| Yeah, outright. | ||
| Because, you know, here's the challenge with Netflix and Disney. | ||
| If you want to watch the latest Disney movie, it's Disney or nothing, baby. | ||
| If you want to watch those Netflix series, it's Netflix or nothing. | ||
| If you want to shave your face, it's Harry's or Jeremy's. | ||
| And Jeremy's are the company who are like, we don't hate you, we just want your money. | ||
| And Harry's are the company that says, we actually do hate some of you. | ||
| We hate you because you hate, so we're going to hate you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's another really interesting and I think dark element to this, which is, and the example I always use is like, why on earth is Stephen Colbert, one of the most, and often on the ratings, the most popular host in Late Night. | |
| And we can talk about Greg Gutfeld, which I think is another amazing story, but Stephen Colbert. | ||
| He is objectively the worst comedian in Late Night, and he's also the most partisan comedian in Late Night, which just completely flips the script. | ||
| You used to have Johnny Carson's writers sit down every night and ask themselves the question, what is going to make America laugh tonight? | ||
| Stephen Colbert's writers sit down every night and think, what is going to make resistance boomers laugh tonight? | ||
| And he wins because he has cornered that niche audience and he has built this loyal following among that niche. | ||
| Because no longer do you need 15 million viewers to be the king of late night, you need a reliable 3 to 4 million viewers to be the king of late night. | ||
| And this happens with the death of mass media and the death of popular culture in different sections of the economy. | ||
| And that's why Harry's razors is going to feel more comfortable. | ||
| They want to be the razors for progressives. | ||
| It's like the dumb Gillette commercial. | ||
| But look. | ||
| I think what Colbert realized, and a lot of these hosts, is that you're not going to get a general market anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| So they've abandoned the idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And that's hyperpolarization. | ||
| It's very scary to me. | ||
| I was just watching. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's smart on a business level, but not on a cultural level. | |
| It's terrifying. | ||
| I was watching Johnny Carson last night, actually. | ||
| That's why starting tomorrow, everybody on the show has to wear MAGA hats with Trump 2024 on it, because we've realized... | ||
| I was thinking this dialogue last night, watching Johnny Carson, and what I was watching was the Drew Carey, his first appearance on Carson, 91. | ||
| And Johnny was such a loving host. | ||
| His favorite thing to do was show new talent to the world. | ||
| But it was all centralized at that time, in the early 90s, 80s, before the internet. | ||
| There weren't a million comedians. | ||
| Now there's like a million. | ||
| There's like 100,000 or 10,000. | ||
| And he wasn't apolitical, by the way. | ||
| It's a completely different. | ||
| I'm the fact that that show still exists is insane. | ||
| Yeah, it's the wrong format for a wild. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mark doesn't make and he wasn't a political by the way. | |
| He told political jokes, but they were jokes that everybody could laugh at. | ||
| So I want to hit just my take on this is that a lot of people | ||
| pointed out that we do have this sort of breakup of Central pop culture and certainly breakup of media. | ||
| But there have been times in America's history where we've had huge flourishings of alternate viewpoints. | ||
| If you go back to the founding and you look at the printing press, if you look in the 1900s at the level of the amount of newspapers each city used to have, Um, this idea that all media has to be centralized and that everybody has to, can only watch, you know, three, six and 10. | ||
| And there's only a couple of networks that was just one moment in American history. | ||
| And it's certainly not the talk radio has been around. | ||
| Yeah, we really do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Talk radio has been, was around prior to world war II. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But then you need institutions like the New York Times to stop pretending they represent or they're reporting on the entire country. | |
| Let me show you where this is headed. | ||
| I found this article from March 4th today from Defector. | ||
| It's titled, I watched a Ben Shapiro movie by accident. | ||
| How do you go to the Daily Wire by accident? | ||
| Sure, whatever. | ||
| But they write, Quote, if you're looking for something to watch, Shut In is pretty fun, and Vincent Gallo gets his ass kicked if you're into that sort of thing. | ||
| That's a tweet I wrote a couple weeks ago late on a Saturday night. | ||
| It no longer exists. | ||
| The reason it doesn't exist is because almost immediately after I posted it, I got a DM from a friend. | ||
| You know that movie was produced by the ultra right-wing Daily Wire with Only ultra right-wing producers, talent, and so forth for that market. | ||
| Uh, what? | ||
| No, no, delete, delete, what? | ||
| Yep, they're trying to make real movies now. | ||
| Sneak that ishin under the actual cover of actual production values. | ||
| For F's sake, this always happens to me. | ||
| It always happens to you, huh? | ||
| I'm sorry, Brooklyn. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| an ultra-evangelical movie and not realize it's ultra-evangelical. | ||
| I will be listening to Christian radio and not realize it's Christian radio. | ||
| If Jesus is around, I need him to announce himself or I'll just think he's from Brooklyn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sorry, Brooklyn. | |
| That's hilarious. | ||
| Here's a funny thing. | ||
| How do you accidentally listen to ultra-Christian radio and be like, wait, are these biblical | ||
| topics Christian? | ||
| Who is this person who's like, I actually, look what they're saying. | ||
| They're saying, I enjoy conservative content. | ||
| I enjoy these movies. | ||
| I enjoy Christian radio. | ||
| Oh no, I'm not supposed to delete, delete, delete. | ||
| Yeah, that's how you know you're dealing with a cult. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| That's typical cult behavior. | ||
| It's a cult, man. | ||
| You know, I watched Disney. | ||
| I went and I saw Ghostbusters 2016. | ||
| I regretted it, but I'll go see those movies. | ||
| And then I went and saw the new Ghostbusters. | ||
| I liked it. | ||
| I read the Daily Wire, you know, I check out the stuff they're producing or whoever, because I'm like, you know, if someone can make something good, it's good. | ||
| I'm now getting to the point where I'm like, get away from these companies that hate you and want to take your money for bad things, but maybe that's kind of the mentality they've always had. | ||
| And the libertarian, civil libertarian, or conservative side is only just now realizing it. | ||
| For the longest time, conservatives have been content to give their money to people who hate them, and the left has always been against giving their money to people who hate them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think conservatives realized how much these people hated them, because I don't think they realized what was brewing on the fringes of the academic left, which was this thing that I've called the progressive or bigot binary, which is that You are either necessarily progressive or a bigot. | |
| So if you are not fully progressive at every turn and you don't agree with every little tenet of our idea or our faith, I should say, then you are a bigot. | ||
| If you fall just outside of that, you're a bigot. | ||
| And when you enforce that, I just don't think a lot of conservatives realized that this is what was building. | ||
| That if you disagree with them, if you disagree with them at all, it's not just that you think Clarence Thomas is innocent because it's the early 90s. | ||
| Now it's, if you think Brett Kavanaugh is innocent, you are responsible for being, you're complicit in rape. | ||
| And you have, you have created violence against women. | ||
| I don't you know, I just I don't care about what these people think, in terms, you know, to a certain degree, because because of things stories like this, right? | ||
| It's, it's, it's just, well, we've the country's bifurcated. | ||
| There was a there was a period where we had a culture war, I think the culture is just totally bifurcated. | ||
| Like 1000 times over and over and over and over. | ||
| So many pockets of weirdness. | ||
| When we started, when the culture war first began, depending on what you think was the first great moment in it, it could be Occupy Wall Street because that's where, I think the issue is most people didn't see the wokeness in the organization of Occupy. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But Gamergate was pronounced widespread on the internet and was bubbling up and creating these personalities who were, you know, always viewed themselves as being on the left but now viewed themselves as being called right-wing. | ||
| At that time, we were still very much interested in a lot of the same things, just disagreeing on them. | ||
| Now we're at a point where it's like, you guys go make your The Craft remake, which is just a woke PSA, and Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire will make regular movies that we'll watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And that's the thing that Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire get is that they need to make regular movies. | ||
| And that has not happened before. | ||
| That's the big difference between what they're doing and all of the other so-called conservative art that's come before them. | ||
| I've got a lot of friends on Facebook from the old days when I was a progressive bigot. | ||
| Like you were saying, I was like, Oh, they don't, they don't, they want me to whatever. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Um, they're like, now they're, they're talking about serving other people. | ||
| This new, the show with Solinsky is the lead, right? | ||
| And they're like, Oh, I hear the show's okay. | ||
| I can't wait to see it. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, man, I loved it. | ||
| I'm definitely watching this tonight. | ||
| I know what I got queued up. | ||
| Which Netflix just put back on in the midst of the Ukraine war. | ||
| Netflix just brought Servant of the People, which is Zelensky's. | ||
| It was a sitcom where he played the president of Ukraine back in 2015. | ||
| Then he ran and actually became the president of Ukraine. | ||
| So Netflix U.S. | ||
| has now put Netflix, put this back on Netflix in English. | ||
| I feel like they're watching it because Ukraine got invaded. | ||
| It's pure cult. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| I mean, it's just obvious. | ||
| You go on Facebook, and I see all these people. | ||
| Their profiles are Ukraine flags now. | ||
| They're posting memes. | ||
| They're saying, like, things about Zelensky. | ||
| People are saying, like, Cuomo's out, Zelensky's in, or whatever. | ||
| And I'm just like, you guys have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
| You're literally in a cult. | ||
| And you know why? | ||
| It's this simple. | ||
| You ask someone, what do you think about Ukraine? | ||
| A not cult member says, you know, I've heard about it in the news. | ||
| Honestly, I'm not, I'm not real, you know, following, following it. | ||
| I don't like the war. | ||
| So Russia sucks for invading, but I wouldn't know a whole lot. | ||
| What do you think about Zelensky? | ||
| Who's that? | ||
| He's the president of Ukraine. | ||
| Oh, no idea. | ||
| The cult members are like, yes, yes, Ukraine flag. | ||
| And I'm like, why do you support Ukraine? | ||
| Because big country invaded small country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the president is a comedian and that's all they need. | |
| I think there are people... And I love Ian because he's like, hey, who's this guy, Igor Kolomoisky, who seems to be funding all of these things? | ||
| Kolomoisky started the TV show, funded the campaign, also funds the Azov battalion, by the way, and the ADAR battalion, started funding them as private security battalions for himself and his own militia. | ||
| He was a governor at one point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've all done that. | |
| No, we have. | ||
| But we're not supposed to ask questions about Kolomoisky. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| This is a liberal democracy that we all love. | ||
| What about all those corruption reports and Hunter Biden and Burisma and all this money and the Podestas and Manafort and all of these things? | ||
| Isn't this like a human trafficking area? | ||
| Hasn't this been known for it? | ||
| Obviously, we don't want it to be corrupt. | ||
| We would like it to be a stable country. | ||
| But what about all of this reporting and facts? | ||
| Dude, the Kolomoisky thing... Okay, so he started serving the people, the TV show, or he ran or owned the network that ran this show, and then he hired Salinsky to be that role. | ||
| And then he started a political party called the Servant of the People, named after the show, and then he got Salinsky to be his candidate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the most, Ian, transparent, fascist, crazy... | |
| His vision board. | ||
| We'll call it call it whatever you want. I'll take a breath. | ||
| This should be an example to everyone listening Why it's so important to build culture why it's so | ||
| important to make TV shows make cartoons make jokes Freedom tunes has a new cartoon out today. I did the voice | ||
| of Dr. | ||
| It was a lot of work. | ||
| We took like a half an hour to record this. | ||
| But if you guys aren't familiar, we have Seamus on the show periodically. | ||
| This is humor. | ||
| It's making fun of Dr. Fauci. | ||
| So the joke that I don't want to, you know, you got to watch it, but the general idea is Dr. Fauci hasn't been on TV in months or a month or plus since everyone pivoted over to Ukraine from COVID. | ||
| So the joke is he keeps calling like, hello, is anybody there? | ||
| Like, why won't you answer your phone? | ||
| We're making fun of what the establishment props up, what all the cult members, when they're all waving their flags and claiming, you know, all these things and saying how much they love Fauci, or when Stephen Colbert had the dancing syringes or whatever, or who was it who did the thing where they spun up from, there's like a camera angle going up. | ||
| I think it was Jimmy Kimmel. | ||
| No, no, no, it was Gordon, Jim, it was Gordon. | ||
| They dance into a picture of Fauci. | ||
| They're all kind of the same. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| They're the same person. | ||
| So we like, we make fun of that. | ||
| That gives people a space. | ||
| They feel like they're not alone, but also going back to what you were saying before with the Daily Wire and creating movies, it's showing all of these people who don't like what's happening in their workplace. | ||
| There is another place you can work. | ||
| I'll tell you that. | ||
| And in addition to making art that shows how ridiculous things are, you can make art, like I can make a show where you become the president and in the show, you're a hero and people love you and you save the world. | ||
| And if that people, that becomes a popular enough show, people will want you to be the president. | ||
| You know why they made Men in Black, right? | ||
| No, not, no. | ||
| Yeah, you guys know the movie Men in Black, of course. | ||
| Yeah, it's a great movie. | ||
| The government made that, man. | ||
| Oh, it's alien propaganda? | ||
| No, because now, now, when you try and prove that Men in Black are real, no one believes you because it's a movie, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That makes sense. | ||
| That's an actual conspiracy theory. | ||
| Well, the X-Files, too. | ||
| There's actually a conspiracy theory that the government funds movies so that when you want to talk to someone about the conspiracy theory, they say, that's a movie, dude. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, so they do fund more movies than people realize. | |
| Actually, in fact, the new Top Gun movie, it kind of made headlines because the bomber jacket, Maverick's bomber jacket, had the Taiwanese flag and the Japanese flag taken off. | ||
| Well, it turns out, actually, and if you really dig into this, the Pentagon, it sounds like a conspiracy theory, it isn't, actually provided a lot of resources to that movie. | ||
| And they used training drills, actually, to be scenes in the movie. | ||
| So it works out great for Hollywood, and it works out great for the Pentagon. | ||
| Because they want to have the US military look good and all that stuff. | ||
| But what it means is that our government resources were complicit in removing the Taiwanese flag from the bomber jacket and it creates this ridiculous cycle. | ||
| But the Pentagon absolutely provides resources and what you could clearly say is X amount of dollars to these movies. | ||
| When you guys were saying how we centralize stuff, three, five, and eight, the three channels, you know, it's very new. | ||
| It's very, like, we had the printing press, then all of a sudden we had TV and we had the centralize. | ||
| Just TV itself and radio, it's gotta be mind controlling us like crazy. | ||
| It's so new in our species evolution. | ||
| Well, so what's wild is that, like, and not to delve too into Ukraine specifically, but you look at the reporting of it. | ||
| How many of the stories that we see initially come out of Ukraine and then it goes 24 to 48 hours and it's completely debunked, right? | ||
| And that's because we have the system that we have now. | ||
| But prior to this, did we have anybody going, you know, how could you, right? | ||
| How could you go to the newspaper and understand what was going on in World War II, right? | ||
| Because you weren't on the ground. | ||
| We didn't have this sort of instantaneous communication system like we do. | ||
| we do now where we can communicate with somebody in Ukraine in Russia in | ||
| Belarus in Poland literally in real time to understand what's actually happening | ||
| and so we're getting these reports and this is how people like Walter Duranty | ||
| for the New York Times were able to completely cover up things like the | ||
| holiday more like people like Edgar Snow in in China were able to talk about the | ||
| Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Chinese Great Famine as if owner they | ||
| It's this wonderful thing. | ||
| It's Chinese communism, right? | ||
| Because you didn't have somebody do that. | ||
| So the question then becomes, if that's what's happening in Ukraine, and we can see, right, we can see this stuff being debunked, everything almost within 24 to 48 hours, or at least the initial frame is always kind of like slightly different, like, oh, they hit a, you know, they hit a shopping mall. | ||
| Oh, wait, but there were tanks operating out of that shopping mall and missile launchers, right? | ||
| So, you know, you have to put it in a different context. | ||
| Then what does that mean for the rest of history? | ||
| His story, dude. | ||
| His story. | ||
| Some dude wrote it. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| I don't believe any of it. | ||
| The Bible? | ||
| It's all his story, man. | ||
| Well, the Bible is a story. | ||
| There was this thing we had back in the day when I was a little kid called bathroom readers. | ||
| You ever hear of them? | ||
| They're big books that you were supposed to buy full of trivia and you just like put in your bathroom. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I only on the on the bottom of every page was a factoid and that's why I mostly enjoyed reading. | ||
| But there's a story in one of them about how there's this great painting of American Revolutionary soldiers chasing off a bunch of fumbling stumbling regulars. | ||
| And they say that the original painting was fumbling, stumbling, a revolutionary, you know, continental army fleeing a well-regulated, you know, British regulars. | ||
| And then every time the painting got recommissioned or the story was retold, it became more and more lopsided in favor of the US. | ||
| Because, you know, people were then five years out from what actually happened, then ten years out, and so someone would tell the story of this battle and it would get embellished a little bit, and then eventually, American patriotism, they're gonna be like, the Americans, they fought hard and they chased away those spineless cowards, and then you get this image that's totally unrealistic. | ||
| Napoleon was great at that. | ||
| He had paintings commissioned of all his officers, his top ones, and make them all look beautiful. | ||
| And, like, you know they're not that. | ||
| They weren't. | ||
| But there wasn't photography at the time. | ||
| So my take on this is that when you look at, like, Instagram culture now and filters and, you know, Photoshopping and FaceApp and all of that, that's just what humans have been doing for years, but only the elites could actually afford it. | ||
| So whoever was commissioning the sculpture, right, with the Emperor of Rome, well, of course they're going to say, you know, you're going to make me look like this perfectly chiseled, you know, features and everything, or the pharaoh, or the king, or whatever aristocrat it was. | ||
| But then, like, the first English queen that we actually have photos of, I think, is Queen Victoria. | ||
| So look at a photo of Queen Victoria next to the painting of Queen Victoria, and you're like, hey, wait a second! | ||
|
unidentified
|
What would Donald Trump say about Queen Victoria? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| What's her thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, if you present Donald Trump with a picture of Queen Victoria, how does he react? | |
| All right. | ||
| I don't think you'd be into it. | ||
| There's a bunch of stories we can choose. | ||
| I'm choosing this one because sometimes we need a little inanity. | ||
| Inanity? | ||
| This is from Fox News. | ||
| Nicole Hannah-Jones goes off on tipping as a legacy of slavery. | ||
| Deletes the tweet. | ||
| Hannah-Jones clashed with historian Phil Magnus over the history of tipping. | ||
| Well, so here's what happened, right? | ||
| Everything is slavery, Turner. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can also just stop at Nicole Hannah-Jones clashes with historian. | |
| There's two big things happened. | ||
| Yeah, it's actually kind of. | ||
| Two big things happened from her tweet within the CRET community, within the woke community. | ||
| One was that she's right. | ||
| And the other was that she's racist. | ||
| So let me read what she said first. | ||
| She said, tipping is a legacy of slavery. | ||
| And if it's not optional, then it shouldn't be a tip, but simply included in the bill. | ||
| Have you ever stopped to think why we tip? | ||
| Like why tipping is a practice in the U.S. | ||
| and almost nowhere else. | ||
| Actually, tipping is widely practiced all over the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But what some people immediately said... It's not huge in Asia. | |
| It's not huge in Asia or Europe. | ||
| Well, actually, it was offensive in Asia. | ||
| In Asia, yeah. | ||
| It's considered like a bribe, almost. | ||
| Well, so, in some countries... It's the way we would consider a bribe. | ||
| When you have bad service, you put extra money down, saying, you need help. | ||
| Do better. | ||
| Like, you need my charity because your business is doing bad. | ||
| So it's considered like an affront to their honor. | ||
| Like, they told you what it costs for their service. | ||
| They provided you a service. | ||
| To give them more is to imply they're not doing well and they need help. | ||
| But it's kind of changing in a lot of the more westerners. | ||
| Or that they require more to give you a higher level of help. | ||
| Right. | ||
| In the West, it's like demanded anyway. | ||
| But here's what happened. | ||
| First, many people agreed with her. | ||
| They were like, you know, the stereotype is that black people don't tip well or whatever. | ||
| And that's what they were pointing out. | ||
| Her point is making someone give money for a bad tip is racist, and that's where the stereotype... I don't know if she said this explicitly, but people were saying the stereotype is that people who are black experience bad service because of racism. | ||
| That's why they don't tip. | ||
| That's why there's a stereotype about not tipping is because they're mistreated for being black. | ||
| Other people said you're literally reinforcing a stereotype about these diners. | ||
| So my point in all of this is, honestly, I have no idea I have no opinion because I've not been a server or experienced that. | ||
| I can just say, no matter what you do, it's racist. | ||
| Even when you're Nicole Hanna-Jones, she's the 1619 Project, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Even she's racist. | ||
| So there's no out. | ||
| All of you, everyone, at all times, even the person who claims everyone else is racist is racist too. | ||
| And so, I don't know what, the aristocrats or something? | ||
| Well, Tim, you're obviously the wrong person to talk about this. | ||
| I mean, you're so bad at diners, you can't even get a reservation at one. | ||
| How come you didn't get a reservation for that diner anyway? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so weird. | |
| I guess you can't. | ||
| Isn't it the weirdest thing in the world to me? | ||
| Dude, I was a wait... Weirdest thing in the world, it is to me. | ||
| I was a waiter for about a decade, on and off. | ||
| What about you, Emily? | ||
| Were you ever? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I was a camp counselor. | |
| I worked at a bakery, so like bakery slash deli. | ||
| So we served food, but it wasn't like with seating. | ||
| We did the tip, seating, everything. | ||
| I had one time I had a couple of older women left me a nickel just so I knew that they didn't forget to tip me. | ||
| That was insulting. | ||
| That was when I was early. | ||
| There's an old 30 Rock episode. | ||
| Where I forget the character's name, but it's John Lithgow's character. | ||
| And he goes, he goes, I'm going to revolutionize the practice of tipping. | ||
| I always thought this was great. | ||
| Where he goes, and he, he, the wait, the wait, I think it's a waitress. | ||
| She comes down and he goes, he just plops a stack of ones on the table. | ||
| And he goes, do you see this right here? | ||
| This represents your potential tip. | ||
| If the surface is good, the tip will grow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But if it is poor, the tip will shrink. | |
| The final number is up to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Make it a game show. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| I thought it was great. | ||
| A lot of waiters and waitresses. | ||
| I've always thought of actually doing that. | ||
| By the way, if you tried that in real life, I'm pretty sure your food would get spat in very quickly. | ||
| No, not if you put a hundred, you know, a hundred dollar bill or, you know, ten hundreds on the table and say, I got a thousand bucks, you know, however many. | ||
| Ready and waiting for you as the service declines the hundreds get removed So let's see how much you can make at the end of the day. | ||
| I don't think they'll spend your food I'll see if they'll be code for flights tip your weight tip your services. | ||
| Oh, let me first come on totally go to the Starbucks get like $10 gift card, $15 gift card right there in, you know, while you're waiting to go out in the terminal. | ||
| Just walk on. | ||
| Even if you only give it to one, right? | ||
| They'll tell the others and they know where you are, right? | ||
| And I guarantee your flight will be way better. | ||
| And when you go to the bar, tip the bartender before you start ordering drinks. | ||
| Because then they love you online. | ||
| What do you think would happen if you were sitting on a plane and like the flight attendant came over and said, sir, I'm sorry, you have to wear a mask and you just handed her a $100 bill instead? | ||
| And be like, oh, I'm sorry, here you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And like, you know, I'm sorry, they need to wear your mask. | |
| When I was waiting tables, George Washington, a lot of other servers would parrot this thing you're saying that black families would not tip well. | ||
| And I hated it. | ||
| And so I did stereotype. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| One time I had like a family of like five or something. | ||
| I think I'm remembering this relatively clearly. | ||
| And they're black people. | ||
| I don't even think their skin was like darker than mine, whatever the hell that means. | ||
| I'm not white, by the way. | ||
| I'm pink. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I'm not playing this game. | ||
| I gave them the best service I could. | ||
| And they didn't leave me a good tip. | ||
| It was really bad. | ||
| And I just thought they didn't have enough money. | ||
| I didn't care. | ||
| It wasn't racist. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. | ||
| It's a tip. | ||
| It's extra. | ||
| My issue is that you get money on the left saying if you can't afford a tip, you can't afford to go out to eat. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I'm just like, you know, I was thinking about that. | ||
| And I was like, if you can't afford an electric car, you can't afford to drive. | ||
| Well, right. | ||
| So all the environmentalists who are like gas is destroying the planet. | ||
| That's my response to them. | ||
| You know, look, climate change is bad. | ||
| If you want to enact policies over climate change, then you got to put up or shut up. | ||
| So don't come to me and be like, we got to change the wages because, you know, if you | ||
| can't afford a tip and I'm like, okay, well then like, don't come to me and say you have a | ||
| problem with carbon emissions when you're literally a component of the problem. | ||
| Choose not to be a part of that problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no coherence. | |
| When I was in Ohio waiting tables, I was making $2.13 an hour. | ||
| At minimum, that was the minimum server wage, because you expect to get tips. | ||
| You expect to get tips, yeah. | ||
| It's woven into the process now, so we can undo that. | ||
| But then when I went to California, I got minimum wage, 12 bucks an hour, and then tips on top of it. | ||
| That was a California law. | ||
| I guess we could... No, I just, they... This is super chat. | ||
| The Daily Wire wrote about me. | ||
| We're making a big circle here! | ||
| Look at this! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, that was fast! | |
| Absolutely fantastic, brilliant, one of the funniest commercials. | ||
| I think you might have actually said all that stuff, yeah. | ||
| I did say all that stuff. | ||
| Here, here, I second it. | ||
| The Daily Wire knows the power of culture. | ||
| I was talking to some of the Daily Wire people. | ||
| So now they're going to write an article, Tim Pool raves about the Daily Wire's reporting of the Daily Wire. | ||
| It's a big circle, I'm looking forward to it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And here's media bias in a nutshell. | |
| What is the byline there? | ||
| The author of the story, his name is Tim. | ||
| I'm wondering if like Jeremy or Banner or somebody at the Daily Wire saw my video this morning and then came in and said, can someone write this up? | ||
| Because it's free advertising for us. | ||
| So let's shout it out. | ||
| Or maybe this Tim Meads guy was like, Hey, did you see Tim did a video? | ||
| Can I write this up? | ||
| And they were like, yeah. | ||
| I will groom with that thing on air if you send me one. | ||
| Yeah, let's do it. | ||
| Sounds like some QAnon stuff. | ||
| Jeremy's Razors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shave. | |
| Sounds like some QAnon stuff. | ||
| Don't, well, but if you get caught, hopefully you get Judge Kataji Brown Jackson as your... | ||
| Oh, so Kataji Brown. | ||
| She'll give you a lighter sentence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Emily, you've been following, so you think she's legitimate? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Define legitimate. | ||
| Well, do you support her for Supreme Court? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| I mean, I think she's an activist. | ||
| I think she's an activist judge. | ||
| And, you know, it's a it's an interesting question because the Senate sort of caught in this period where there used to be courtesy votes in favor of a president's nominee. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then they got away from that. | ||
| And so now you still have the people like the Mitt Romneys of the world. | ||
| And the Lindsey Graham's of the world and the Susan Collins of the world who think, you know, if somebody is qualified, we give them the courtesy vote. | ||
| They're the president's choice, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| But nobody on the left or the right. | ||
| I mean, that's that's a minority position on the left or the right. | ||
| And the left and the right will pretend that's the consensus position in when it is favorable to them. | ||
| But this is a case where you have very much an activist judge and you have this | ||
| questioning process. | ||
| It's sort of a given that she's going to be confirmed. | ||
| But the questioning process is being treated as though in a number of different | ||
| ways, like I sat down with Marsha Blackburn last week and I said to her, | ||
| there is a 100% chance that next week you are going to be called a racist. | ||
| It is inevitable that whatever you say in your questioning, you are going to be called a racist. | ||
| How do you respond to that? | ||
| Is it time for Republicans, and I actually mentioned Ron DeSantis, to start flipping these questions? | ||
| To start changing the narrative and to stop accepting the premises of these questions? | ||
| And I think we see a little bit of grappling with that on the right. | ||
| You definitely see it in DeSantis. | ||
| You definitely see it with Trump. | ||
| But I'm not sure that everyone has fully gotten to it, because when you look at what happened with the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing, as has been invoked by many senators just in the early days of Judge Brown Jackson's confirmation hearing, It's night and day! | ||
| I mean, it's incredible how you have Dick Durbin coming out and saying some of the questions to Judge Jackson have been, you know, teetering near the line. | ||
| And I was like, what the hell were you guys doing with Kavanaugh then? | ||
| What were you doing questioning Amy Coney Barrett's faith? | ||
| What were you doing? | ||
| What was the media doing when they were talking about whether she might be a racist? | ||
| Because Ibram X. Kendi, bestselling author, Ibram X. Kendi, extremely powerful author and commentator, Ibram X. Kendi, comparing her to a white colonizer because she adopted black children. | ||
| A little bit close to the line there, Dick. | ||
| I was speaking at an event, and we opened up for questions, and Sticks, Hex, & Hammer was coming in via Skype, and someone asked a question about defending an individual for something they had said, and the individual was a white national or something. | ||
| So it felt kind of like a woke journalist tee-up to write about. | ||
| And as soon as it came up, I was like, are you referring to that guy who's, you know, who has been reported to be a white nationalist? | ||
| Is that what you're trying to ask about? | ||
| And then Styx immediately came in and he said, we shouldn't dismiss people based on opinions that aren't relevant to the conversation. | ||
| We should answer to the topic that's being brought up before us so we can actually question the idea. | ||
| You know, we can't fall into that trap of someone being a bad person and all of a sudden the idea they present is dismissed outright because the person said it's bad. | ||
| Anybody could have an idea like 2 plus 2 is 4. | ||
| You know, what do they say? | ||
| Hitler had a dog too, right? | ||
| And I just thought that was an excellent response. | ||
| So, you know, bringing this up, when we're looking at what's happening with the media trying to accuse you or smear you as being racist, it's just, you have to completely disregard it as unserious and irrelevant. | ||
| But the problem I think we have is that many Republicans care more about the opinion of The New York Times than their own constituents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, they still do. | |
| And that's what's—that is what is confounding. | ||
| And so— Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| No, I was just going to say, so you've seen Senator Hawley, right, who's really done the work—you know, that's the new phrase right now, do the work. | ||
| Um, he's actually done the work of digging up her record on these lighter than required sentences, lighter than suggested sentences for child porn offenders and child porn distribution. | ||
| We should probably talk about this issue because she's bringing up, you know, saying, well, it's different now. | ||
| These laws were written. | ||
| During a time of child pornography distribution by mail and so it was harder to accumulate this many this such a large volume of it and so because of each instance of possessing an Item of child, you know child pornography then it became it meant that that person was a more serious offender But because of the internet now it is easier to accumulate large volumes And so it created what she called a disparity in the system Whereas, you know, I think most normal people looking at that would say, well, doesn't that just mean it's easier to victimize children? | ||
| So we should probably be harder against it because it's so much easier to victimize children with child porn other than when it was in the past. | ||
| And you had to do this very surreptitiously. | ||
| And it also strikes me to that point as what you just said, that that's a very activist argument, right? | ||
| If you don't like the law... It's a weird thing to be an activist for, to be completely honest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Isn't that that thing, you know, if somebody keeps talking about it, then they, you know, we have to ask questions about why they keep talking about it. | ||
| Well, why is this the one thing that she seems to be such an activist for? | ||
| You know, apologizing. | ||
| I'm so sorry that you're going to feel shunned now by society. | ||
| You know, I think that, you know, you're a good kid and you only really need three months. | ||
| I mean, it was just a couple of eight year olds. | ||
| You're not that much older. | ||
| This actually was something that she said during a sentencing at one point. | ||
| That 18 isn't that much older than 8, so it's not that bad. | ||
| Isn't there a recording of Hillary Clinton laughing or something? | ||
| Like a child victim or something like that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| She was laughing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was in court, yeah. | |
| I would have to go back and look at the... I think she was involved, she was arguing a case in Arkansas, if I'm remembering correctly. | ||
| She was defending the rapists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, but the thing with even the people attacking Hawley admit that what Judge Jackson did was predicated on this distinction, just as Jack just explained. | |
| And yet you have the media, George Stephanopoulos literally saying that Hawley's claims have been debunked by a fact checker. | ||
| Debunked by a fact checker, that's a man who purports to be an anchor at a neutral news network, saying that it's been debunked by a fact checker, which completely neutralizes the argument to the public, as though Josh Hawley is some insane person who's peddling outright lies. | ||
| But even the defenders, even the people who are attacking Hawley, are saying that what he said is accurate? | ||
| They just say, listen, there's this argument in criminal justice reform circles, That you really do need to give lighter sentences in these cases, that the congressional mandatory minimum is wrong. | ||
| And so is there maybe merit to that argument? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| I mean, it sounds like it has substance. | ||
| If she wants to make that argument, she can run for Congress and she can change the law because that's how separation of powers works. | ||
| The legislative body is the one that's supposed to do that, not the justice. | ||
| And we don't need more judicial activism On the court and certainly we don't need judicial activism when it comes to child pornography. | ||
| You see what's going on now with the political report of this. | ||
| Democrats are trying to get Joe Biden to bypass Congress to push for the progressive agenda because they know Congress is basically deadlocked. | ||
| So it just sounds more and more with these activist judges that our traditional legislative system has failed a long time ago. | ||
| I think most people agree this approval for Congress is just absolutely in the gutter. | ||
| It's like record lows. | ||
| So everyone's just sitting there saying, Well, representative democracy for legislation doesn't work. | ||
| Get a judge to just bang a hammer or get Joe Biden to sign a paper. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's the right point here, because that's exactly why we have these super bitter Supreme Court confirmation battles. | |
| It's because the legislative branch has kicked the can to the judiciary and to the executive because they no longer function as the legislative branch should. | ||
| 100%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's actually really, really scary. | |
| I mean, when was the last time that Congress declared war? | ||
| World War II, I believe. 1941. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| It's scary. | ||
| Falling Pearl Harbor. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I think the ninth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, we take for granted how actually dysfunctional our system is. | ||
| Like, obviously, we know it's dysfunctional, but we take for granted how deep the dysfunction is and how, like, actually foundational, fundamental it is to the way we operate as a country. | ||
| Yeah, when we started the country, there was a bunch of private sector dudes, and their wives, who we barely know any much about, but they basically got together and started a new government. | ||
| And it's like, I look at this poorly run government with a bunch of bureaucrats that are in there for life. | ||
| I don't know if it's salvageable. | ||
| I want to be the guy that's like, I want to preserve the republic. | ||
| But it's I was telling you earlier about Lou Bay from the The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. | ||
| He was obsessed with restoring the government and he just couldn't it was a failed attempt. | ||
| But the reason for this is that the left understood a generation | ||
| ago, right? | ||
| And the right is only starting to kind of understand what happened that their policy prescriptions would not, you | ||
| know, prevail at the ballot box. | ||
| So if they could find a bureaucratic or judicial fix for it, then they would go through that way. | ||
| So they get their legislation from the bench and you've seen | ||
| so many of these social conservative issues or just social issues in general be decided through Supreme Court cases. | ||
| Obergefell or even Roe v. Wade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
KCV Planned Parenthood. | |
| So these are all Supreme Court cases. | ||
| This was not the original role of the Supreme Court whatsoever. | ||
| And the idea that Katonji Brown-Jackson is saying this sort of stuff, she's actually getting upset that Hawley is calling these things into question because to her mind, as a progressive activist judge, She believes that is the role of a judge to correct what she sees herself as issues in the law because, of course, that's how you correct it. | ||
| That's what the judiciary is for, right? | ||
| The legislative, I mean, that withered and died on the vine years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| It's it's seeing your it's that is baked into the role as people see it on the left that like, of course, of course, you're offering these corrections. | ||
| That's what you exist to do. | ||
| And it's a huge disconnect between left and right. | ||
| But it's also just a huge disconnect between the left and the Constitution. | ||
| Well, I don't think they much care about the Constitution. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, no, certainly. | |
| Regarding, like, recovering the Republic, you had mentioned that if we were going to do that, it would be like we take the pieces of it that work and then create new things or strip away things that are broken. | ||
| Like, are there specific things you'd like to keep and are there specific ones you'd like Well, I mean, I think that Congress, obviously, so Congress abrogated its role of sovereignty a long, long time ago, right? | ||
| And so, you know, something, you know, people talk about term limits, but certainly something needs to be done with terms for congressmen. | ||
| I think that's, I don't know if term limits are the right thing, because, you know, if you introduce term limits, the lobbyists are just going to run things even more than they do now, right? | ||
| So term limits aren't necessarily the answer. | ||
| But you've also got an issue in the executive. | ||
| Because the executive, and Yarvin writes about this, where the executive branch has essentially, and this is very Wilsonian, Wilson was very clear about doing this, you know, growing what he called the, you know, essentially the Leviathan, right? | ||
| This sort of the organic state was what he called it. | ||
| We call it the administrative state or the permanent state, the bureaucracy, the civil service. | ||
| So this idea that the Academy and the ivory tower of the Ivy League would make decisions, and then the executive kind of responds to that through these independent agencies, and the bureaucracy is actually running the government. | ||
| And so the Congress is there to just kind of rubber stamp those decisions. | ||
| And this is where you get, you know, a Dr. Anthony Fauci from, because he comes up not through He's not an elected official. | ||
| Nobody ever voted for this guy. | ||
| He's the most powerful bureaucrat in all of Washington, or he certainly was during the height of the pandemic. | ||
| He would go on TV literally making pronouncements that would decide what your child could do in a local school from DC. | ||
| This was the complete opposite of how our system is supposed to work, and yet we all went along with it. | ||
| The best was the double masking cycle where he got asked You know Romney still does that. | ||
| Double mask? | ||
| Romney still double masks. | ||
| Fauci got asked about double masking and they were like, isn't it common sense that two masks would be good? | ||
| And he's like, yes, of course, two masks would be good. | ||
| And then he comes out later having to, no, no, no, no, there's no advice saying you shouldn't do it. | ||
| And then the CDC comes out and says, yeah, you should double mask. | ||
| Like the idea of double masking just came from him off the cuff saying it makes sense to do. | ||
| Someone heard him say it and then typed it in and pressed enter. | ||
| And then all of a sudden everybody was doing it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And by the way, masks are bad and they're taking masks away from our first responders. | |
| And that's of course, that's what Fauci and the CDC and actually basically our entire federal government was saying. | ||
| And again, these people do not understand and they have not yet reckoned with the level of distrust that exists in the public. | ||
| But the big thing is Not only do they have to like reckon with that, they have to not see it as just abject bigotry, right? | ||
| Like this is anybody who disagrees with me as an idiot, toothless, rude bigot. | ||
| They have to understand actually why people distrust them and understand that the blame lies with them, but that is what they will absolutely never do. | ||
| Well, that was the point I mentioned earlier where someone tweeted, you know, it's time to remind everybody that Brett Kavanaugh was credibly accused by Christine Blasey Ford and Republicans didn't care. | ||
| And it's like, no, it's because it was made up. | ||
| It didn't happen. | ||
| You wouldn't need to put the word credibly in front of it if it was legitimate. | ||
| And it was like 30 years ago, her own friends said she didn't remember it, didn't even know if it was Brett. | ||
| And they're trying to make it seem like, let me just tell you, man. | ||
| It was Squee. | ||
| Remember Squee? | ||
| Let me just say naughty words on YouTube for a moment. | ||
| He had the calendar. | ||
| Yes, the calendar. | ||
| Beers. | ||
| Beers, babes. | ||
| They accused a federal judge of being party to gang rapes. | ||
| Plural. | ||
| Excuse me, not just they. | ||
| Jake Tapper. | ||
| Jake Tapper, this paragon of we're supposed to believe that he's the most, you know, right down the line, just calling balls and strikes. | ||
| He had who on air? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Michael Avenatti and Julie Setwick was the client at the time. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Accusing Brett Kavanaugh, at the time a federal judge and going up for the highest court in the land, accused him of being a member of a gang rape What did they say, like, they would line up outside of a room with, like, a woman inside and they would go in and just, you know, take turns? | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| There's no evidence for anything like that. | ||
| And no sane person would believe such a ridiculous story. | ||
| Well, you know what, man? | ||
| They just keep saying it. | ||
| So I have to wonder, how many people actually believe, at this point, what they keep saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this is a point that I've made about the riots in the summer of 2020. | |
| And I think it's a mistake the right makes sometimes, is that we just are like, oh, crazy people, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| But people rioting in 2020 have been told for their entire lives So I was born in 1993, but even people younger than me, they have been told their entire lives that they live in a country that is dripping with racism, systemic racism, that it is evil. | ||
| And they've been told this from every institution. | ||
| Sexism, racism, all of these things are institutional. | ||
| Their institutions are telling them that. | ||
| And so what do you expect is going to happen in this country? | ||
| You have to find a way to sort of like penetrate that audience, make that argument reasonably, because people have been indoctrinated to the point where they believe, and I think reasonably so, if all of your institutions are telling you this, for years and years and years. | ||
| Everyone, everyone is telling you this. | ||
| Oprah's telling you this. | ||
| Your teachers are telling you this. | ||
| It's coming from everyone. | ||
| I mean, yeah, you might riot. | ||
| I mean, it's not right, but you can understand the sort of impetus for it. | ||
| The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. | ||
| It was their final, most essential command. | ||
| And if all others accepted the lie which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth. | ||
| George Orwell. | ||
| That's why I just love it when Joe Biden's like, I was in a secure meeting with a military officer said there's going to be a new world order and they're like, that didn't happen. | ||
| That's a conspiracy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So you can, you actually see it now. | ||
| It's, it's like, it's like the, it's like somebody gets on the phone, right. | ||
| And calls up and says, Oh, you've got to get the fact checkers out. | ||
| You know, someone, so There's a red phone at the New York Times. | ||
| So the fact checkers, that's actually, if you understand the NPC meme, the non-player character meme, so a fact check is actually just a software upgrade for the NPCs that you have to push out every time someone short-circuits the false reality, short-circuits the simulation. | ||
| Like a patch. | ||
| Right, so it's a patch that has to be pushed out every time one of the NPCs comes into contact with actual reality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So anytime that Joe Biden comes out and says, oh, by the way, there's a new world order. | ||
| And I was just talking to the secret military about this in this meeting. | ||
| They have to push out. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Just so you know. | ||
| Or, you know, Josh Hawley comes up and says, hey, how come you were given all these, you know, child porn traffickers, these, you know, These light sentences, whoa, whoa, whoa, we have to put out a fact check. | ||
| And if you notice, and Lydia, you were even talking about this earlier, that in the fact checks, right, all the fact checks admitted that Holly was correct. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, they did! | |
| But they just kind of... Fox, Reason, yeah, you can go down the line. | ||
| But they try to explain it away, and yet they label it as a fact check. | ||
| And it never once says fact check true, because it was. | ||
| They just say, it's been fact checked. | ||
| I included this. | ||
| I did a segment earlier on the Joe Biden New World Order thing and there's a website called Logically that is a fact checker and they said, you know, Ukrainian MP passively mentioned a new world order triggering widespread conspiracies. | ||
| It was taken out of context and here's what they did. | ||
| It was an amazing It was actually, I shouldn't say amazing. | ||
| It was amazing that they attempted to pull this off. | ||
| They said, the New World Order conspiracy theory is very similar to the Great Reset. | ||
| And the Great Reset conspiracy is just wrong. | ||
| The Ukrainian MP was not talking about any kind of Great Reset. | ||
| And I'm like, yes, she wasn't. | ||
| She literally said New World Order. | ||
| But they just did this leapfrog where it's like, did the Ukrainian MP discuss a conspiracy about a Great Reset? | ||
| False. | ||
| While she did say she's fighting for a New World Order, she did not talk about a Great Reset. | ||
| That's the game they play. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like you're right, they are both similar in the extent that they're both the explicit ambitions of the global elite. | |
| So if these people are lying to you, and we know they've lied to us about Kavanaugh, we know they've lied to us about Russiagate, we can see that they're lying to us in real time about Judge Jackson. | ||
| Yeah, we're told that we have to believe every single utterance they make about what's happening in Ukraine, thousands of miles away, where we don't have direct contacts, unless you're going to these places like Telegram, like, you know, using VPNs, getting other places having to translate it to actually find out what's going on on the ground. | ||
| Yeah, we're just supposed to take that all as true. | ||
| Well, basically the country experienced a soft coup when Woodrow Wilson was president, when the Federal Reserve was formed and they took control. | ||
| And they lied about it. | ||
| We didn't know. | ||
| People didn't know about it until 15 years ago. | ||
| And then the internet broke out and loose change came out. | ||
| And you start to realize the Federal Reserve and the printing... They lied the whole time. | ||
| This whole organization has been... They pulled the wool over the American people's eyes to print their money and take their sons to war. | ||
| So check this out. | ||
| We talked about the value of a nickel on the show a couple weeks ago, and we read somewhere that it was like a nickel is 75% copper and 25% nickel, and because nickel is skyrocketing in value with the actual metal, that the value of a nickel is actually up. | ||
| The value of a nickel right now is actually 10 cents. | ||
| Now you can't destroy currency, but we're in this weird time where the legal currency of the nickel is worth less than what the actual metal is worth, and so Good luck buying nickels. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no joke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Go online and try and get nickels for your business. | ||
| It's no wonder there was a coin shortage during COVID because people were probably hoarding all of their nickels because it's just the nothing. | ||
| I forgot why I brought this up. | ||
| What were we talking about a moment ago? | ||
| Nickel, man. | ||
| Let's go deep. | ||
| Oh, about the Federal Reserve. | ||
| Oh, right, right, right, right. | ||
| The Federal Reserve. | ||
| I'm just thinking about how currency became completely nonsensical. | ||
| It used to be that you'd have silver. | ||
| Dimes, nickels, and quarters were made of specific metals that had value, and you knew that a quarter was a specific amount of that metal. | ||
| Now, nothing makes sense. | ||
| Pennies are made of, like, zinc. | ||
| Yeah, copper-plated zinc. | ||
| Copper-plated zinc. | ||
| But nickels, for some reason, still have nickel. | ||
| But now nickel's through the roof, so that's not gonna make sense for much longer. | ||
| The Federal Reserve, at some point... I'm just... I'm looking at these news reports about how the government was like, we hereby order all people to give their gold to the government. | ||
| Just think about when that... It was like 1933, right? | ||
| Yeah, I think that's when it was. | ||
| When they were like, you have to turn all of your gold over... It took all the gold back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Crazy! | |
| Imagine the government coming to your house and saying, you have to give us all your money. | ||
| They're like, hey, Putin invaded Ukraine, you have to give us everything you own. | ||
| Yeah, no, no joke. | ||
| People were just like, yep. | ||
| Did you see this? | ||
| I'm just seeing something come across that this thing that Tucker had tonight about the FBI and KBJ's nomination. | ||
| So apparently Tucker got an email that went out internally with the FBI in their L.A. | ||
| office. | ||
| That the FBI's L.A. | ||
| Women's and Black Affairs Committee held a nomination party for Ketanji Brown Jackson. | ||
| The invitation reads, lots of celebrating. | ||
| The party is set for March 23rd, so that's tomorrow. | ||
| And in a conference, Christy Coons Johnson, the assistant director in charge of the L.A. | ||
| field office, is the featured speaker. | ||
| So they're actually holding nomination parties for a partisan political appointee of the President of the United States in the FBI's office. | ||
| Didn't you hear that they had recently changed the name to FBDI, the Federal Bureau of Democratic Investigations? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, right. | |
| No, no, no. | ||
| The FBI is totally neutral. | ||
| Totally neutral. | ||
| Do not take sides. | ||
| The FBDIAWHR, the Federal Bureau of Democratic Investigations, and we hate Republicans. | ||
| Well, it turns out we're all Republicans. | ||
| Because we live in a republic. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, we're all Republicans because we're all irredeemable bigots. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I think literally we're all, we all live in a republic, so we're all Republicans. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You'd think. | |
| Except, as Stephen Marsh pointed out on the show, half the country is a multicultural democracy and the other half is a constitutional republic and they can't coexist. | ||
| We're a multicultural democracy of Republicans. | ||
| That's actually a great point. | ||
| Yeah, half the country doesn't, doesn't believe Or even acknowledge the Constitutional Republic, right? | ||
| I remember, you know, talking to people who had gone to public school, you know, a friend of mine when I was still working, they would say, well, you know, did you know that we're actually not a democracy? | ||
| And I looked at them like, yeah, obviously, right? | ||
| How could you not know that? | ||
| But they're like, but my whole life I was taught the United States is a democracy and we need to be a democracy. | ||
| So we need to get rid of this constitution thing. | ||
| That's what they're taught. | ||
| Whoa, who was that? | ||
| It was a friend of mine growing up. | ||
| Okay, but had been through this completely separate educational track than I had been through. | ||
| I was all Catholic school. | ||
| She was all, you know, public high school, public grade school, and like, was a very upset and emotional over the fact What do you mean? | ||
| That's not a phase! | ||
| That's not a phase Ian! | ||
| a constitutional republic. | ||
| I went through a phase where I really disliked the House of Representatives just as an institution | ||
| and I thought they were getting bribed. | ||
| I mean I still don't like that they're bribed. | ||
| They're like soft targets. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| We all still don't like them. | ||
| That's not a phase Ian. | ||
| I was like repeal the- That's real. | ||
| Get rid of the House of Representatives and Mike Revell was like that's going a little | ||
| too far Ian. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I went through a phase where I just, I drank water to survive. | |
| Oh yeah, me too. | ||
| I'm still in that phase. | ||
| Were you breathing air too? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've thought about it. | |
| What it came to is like, I like the institution. | ||
| I like the function of the Republic. | ||
| Just that there's a stop gap between the citizens and then the legislators. | ||
| But I don't think they need to be people. | ||
| I think it could be like organized mechanically with like smart contracts and things. | ||
| Because the people are just too vulnerable. | ||
| It's a vulnerability in our system. | ||
| They get bribed, bribed, bribed. | ||
| And even if they have term limits, the new ones are going to come in and get bribed, bribed, bribed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're going to keep getting bribed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it goes. | |
| But, you know, I wonder if it's, um, many of these members of Congress just don't know, they have no principles. | ||
| So they're simply looking at what gets me elected. | ||

The principle's power. | |
| Is it? | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's fascistic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Across the board. | ||
| I don't care if they're, it's majority of Republicans, save maybe like the Freedom Caucus, a few Republicans, almost all of the Democratic Party just basically are like, all that matters is power. | ||
| That's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Mitch McConnell. | |
| It's the Mitch McConnell governing philosophy. | ||
| It's not about any ideological agenda. | ||
| It's about maintaining power for the Republican Party. | ||
| And that is great for the lobbyists. | ||
| It's great for the politicians. | ||
| It's great for that class of people. | ||
| But if you don't do anything with that power, it completely is telling that you actually have no... Who's voting for this guy? | ||
| Lindsey Graham, too. | ||
| This is actually what is confounding a lot of our policymakers when it comes to Russia, because they say, well, we're going to go after the oligarchs because we assume that the oligarchs control Russia the same way they control the United States. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So they think, well, in the United States, if we just went after the megadonors, then obviously the politicians would have to do what we want. | ||
| So they try to craft their Russia policy based on how the United States government works. | ||
| But that's not how the Kremlin works. | ||
| Vladimir Putin doesn't answer to his oligarchs. | ||
| They answer to him. | ||
| It's completely separate from the way the United States works. | ||
| So when you look at the way that they're lashing out at Russia, it's actually more relevatory in how the United States system works because they assume | ||
| that's how you can put pressure on the Kremlin because that's how you would put pressure on | ||
| the president United States on the Congress on the Senate etc. Super short donors and that's | ||
| what they did in Afghanistan too they set up an American style government and then when they pulled | ||
| out the American style people the it's called the liberal world order bro it's a tribal | ||
| country no no it is yeah The CFR website that I pulled up, the CFR website I pulled up, the Council on Foreign Relations said the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are how they implement their liberal world economic order. | ||
| So you go to these countries and say, we're basically, like, it's a bribe, essentially. | ||
| We're going to give you money for development, we're going to give you this big loan, but that means these countries become beholden to their debt holders. | ||
| It rapidly modernizes a country. | ||
| It's good for a lot of people who live there. | ||
| You know, the standard of living skyrockets, but now the country is beholden to who holds their debt. | ||
| I think Chile is going through that right now. | ||
| Their standard of living just exploded in the last 20 or 30 years, but it's like Coca-Cola, you know? | ||
| And then you've got countries that reject it, like Belarus, Syria, Libya, Iraq under Saddam, Afghanistan, obviously for a variety of reasons, North Korea for a variety of reasons. | ||
| And so all of those countries are there for evil, and they must be destroyed. | ||

| Let's read some Super Chats. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I really like this one. | ||
| Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
| says, Black Hole Sun, won't you come wash away the rain? | ||
| Oh, they're all just Soundgarden fans. | ||
| They're not Nazis. | ||
| They're just Soundgarden fans. | ||
| Well, so here we go. | ||
| The Physicality Channel says, So TimCast fell to Russian propaganda, which uses the same methods as the left when it labeled MAGA people as Nazis. | ||
| Ukraine is not a Nazi country. | ||
| Putin started the war in 2014 by invading Crimea. | ||
| It sounds like a comment from somebody and with all due respect, I don't think you watch | ||
| this show. I think maybe you caught an episode and then you put that because I think anybody | ||
| who watches this knows that we very much have like been heavily critical of Putin, | ||
| heavily critical of the annexation of Crimea and the Donbass region and his invasion. | ||
| But pointing out facts about one battalion and questioning why people in the United States would | ||
| support that battalion when they've overtly opposed those same ideologies before, | ||
| that's all reality. I don't think it's fair for this super chatter to frame it as if we've said | ||
| that Ukraine is a Nazi country. | ||
| There's a Nazi battalion in the country. | ||
| That's clearly someone who just, like, put in that comment without actually listening to any of the show. | ||
| Yeah, I don't listen. | ||
| Oh man, I would love to. | ||
| Should try to get the lead singer from Muse on they just dropped a banger of a song and also | ||
| I love you Ian keep spreading those good vibes Matthew Bellamy. | ||
| I am a huge fan But I'm not sure if they're you know, if Muse is like woke | ||
| left or whatever well based on their songs I don't think they care for the government. Well, yeah, but | ||
| I think something happened where I think Glenn Beck used a song of theirs | ||
| Yeah, it used to be his intro was Muse Yeah | ||
| And then they came out and said they're like they denounced him and said the right stole conspiracy the left used to do | ||
| it And I'm just like, yeah | ||
| Mews. | ||
| I can sum up Mews as one of my favorite all-time favorite bands. | ||
| I can play a ton of their songs on guitar. | ||
| But the way I describe Mews is, I love you, but the government is taking over. | ||
| That's like the gist of all of their songs. | ||
| Sometimes they actually write songs that have both those elements. | ||
| And I'm just like, how do you make a song about government authoritarianism and you loving someone? | ||
| I still remember, before they got big, they actually played my college like years and years ago at Temple University. | ||
| And so we got to go and they were big going back into like the early 2000s, dude. | ||
| Early 2000s. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I mean, the show itself was like a couple hundred people maybe. | ||
| And it was so great. | ||
| So great. | ||
| Man, I've been a fan of Muse for a long time. | ||
| They're a great band. | ||
| Yeah, and I like how they sing about how the government is bad. | ||
| It's pretty good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But a lot of the people who sang about why the government is bad, Neil Young, now believe that corporations are good. | |
| What was up with bad religion writing that pro-alt-right song? | ||
| That was so weird. | ||
| Did you guys hear that one? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| It was, I don't know if they were trying to be tongue-in-cheek, like it was critical of the alt-right, but it's literally, it's called The Kids Are Alt-Right, and the song has, you know, it's pro-alt-right, I don't understand. | ||
| Well, there's that Who song, The Kids Are Alt-Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| They're making it, like, Bad Religion wrote a song called The Kids Are Alt-Right, and in the song, he's basically just advocating for the alt-right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| Yeah, which I don't understand. | ||
| I'm seeing that Matt Bellamy went on with Alex Jones multiple times. | ||
| I'm gonna have to look that up. | ||
| I'm curious. | ||
| Now I gotta check it out. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm gonna look it up now. | |
| The kids are all right. | ||
| It's talking about Nazism in Germany. | ||
| Like, they're talking about Pure Heart's race on a crystal night. | ||
| Like, that's Kristallnacht as well. | ||
| Yes, yes, yes. | ||
| But they don't, like, the song doesn't insult them. | ||
| It praises them. | ||
| That's the weird thing. | ||
| Oh, yeah, you're right. | ||
| Join the party. | ||
| The kids are alt-right. | ||
| Everybody needs somebody, so join the party. | ||
| It's like, are they trying to be tongue-in-cheek? | ||
| Because there may be a bunch of kids who just don't understand you're singing the praises of all these people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's probably an anthem against, like, conformity. | ||
| Or is it one of those Straussian things where, like, no, no, we're against it, even though we're, you know, like, satire? | ||
| Let's read some more. | ||
| They want you to think it's satire, but maybe it's not. | ||
| Hannah Carter says, Tim, can my daughter's book get a shout out, please? | ||
| She's nearly eight, autistic, and wants to be the next Beatrix Potter. | ||
| I'm very proud of her. | ||
| The Tale of the Red Squirrels by A. Carter on Amazon. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Oh, cute. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Nice work. | ||
| Love that author. | ||
| T-A-I-L. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Make 1984 fiction again says the first 15 minutes of this show you described Destiny aka Steven Bonnell III. | ||
| How did we describe him? | ||
| What were we referring to? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| We've had him on the show before. | ||
| I thought it was great. | ||
| Were we talking about him? | ||
| It was yesterday we were talking about him. | ||
| The other day we talked briefly about him because people were praising him. | ||
| I think it was, uh, uh, Lewis was saying he's, he's someone on the left who's willing to look at the facts and call out the left if he has to. | ||
| And he did that with Kyle Rittenhouse. | ||
| I think a lot of people are coming from their past with like, he was probably raised in that environment, but he like, but they have the clear mind and they want to know the truth, but they're just, they're bringing all their baggage. | ||
| So they got to kind of shed it away as they learn. | ||
| That's how I was. | ||
| I like Destiny. | ||
| He's a sweet guy. | ||
| Hey, Tim, before we move on, I just want to say that I went to Band.TV and it says Alex Jones inspired Matt Bellamy to write Uprising. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that true? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Is Alex Jones claiming that or is Matt Bellamy claiming that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm going to find out. | ||
| When was the last time Matthew Bellamy appeared on... 2006. | ||
| That's a long time ago. | ||
| I know. | ||
| This was written in 2021. | ||
| Yeah, so Alex Jones used to be kind of considered like a part of the left, right? | ||
| Right, because he was anti-Bush. | ||
| Go look at Paul Joseph Watson's early YouTube videos, you know what they're about? | ||
| They're anti-police brutality videos. | ||
| Well, that's why it was Prison Planet. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Opposing government authority, oppression, you know, all that stuff. | ||
| That's why if you watch the movie A Scanner Darkly with Keanu Reeves, so it used to be this like hipster thing to be like a secret fan of Alex Jones, like they would say, Oh, he's quirky, but he's against Bush, so we like him. | ||
| And Alex Jones has that cameo where he drives by with a bullhorn. | ||
| No, no, he gets arrested. | ||
| Or he gets arrested, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And then Keanu Reeves is walking down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| That's that rotoscope movie? | ||
| Yeah, it's rotoscope, yeah. | ||
| That's a good movie. | ||
| It's a good movie. | ||
| I like it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That movie's good. | |
| I like it. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got here. | ||
| Dennis Gregerson says, Is the senator from Hawaii, Presley, going to ask the | ||
| nominee if she has ever been charged or suspected of harassment? | ||
| Apparently she asks every nominee, or so she says. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh, Maisie Hirono. | |
| Yeah, is that her? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, Maisie Hirono. | ||
| Is she gonna ask that? | ||
| Crazy Maisie. | ||
| So smart, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know, probably not, because, again, you're making yourself vulnerable to accusations of bigotry and sexism. | |
| Which, God forbid, Maisie Hirono ever, ever approach that line. | ||
| All right, Flufferboy2004 says, do you think the Daily Wire will start producing music? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jack, stop sending in comments. | |
| I was logged in to the other... That was a long time ago. | ||
| That was an older... | ||
| You know the approach we've had for like the cultural stuff has been we've done three, well we've done four things. | ||
| The Daily Wire is doing movies and they want to do shows and I actually have a really good idea for a joint show with The Daily Wire and I was like mid-show I literally hit up Dallas and I'm like I got an idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's great. | ||
| So we've been talking to them. | ||
| They want to do a show, but I think I have the perfect show and I'm not going to say anything just yet. | ||
| But we've done a few things. | ||
| First, we did Tales from the Inverted World, which is murder, mystery, paranormal investigations. | ||
| And the new series we're working on apparently is absolutely off the wall. | ||
| Season two, the next book we're doing and the next series of podcasts. | ||
| So, Shane Cashman, who's our investigator and writer, he went down to the Georgia Guidestones and was, like, checking it out, and he has, like, pictures. | ||
| There's, like, people dying. | ||
| And he went down there to look for the lost Confederate gold. | ||
| So there's, like, ghosts. | ||
| There's apparently threatening... I can't say too much, because I don't know about the legal issues, but there are threats. | ||
| You know, people do not want this investigation. | ||
| So this is not overtly political. | ||
| It's, like, fun mystery, you know, true crime-ish murder. | ||
| People are dying. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| So then we've also done Pop Culture Crisis, which, uh, subscribe to Pop Culture Crisis on YouTube. | ||
| This is a pop culture show with, you know, the crew, and it's hosted by Brett Dasovic. | ||
| We've done, um, what was I going to say the other one was? | ||
| We have Chicken City. | ||
| Chicken City is just a live stream of chickens. | ||
| And it's really good, by the way. | ||
| We got monetized, so now you can super chat and play sounds, but we're going to be building that up. | ||
| Chicken City is also great, by the way, if you have pets that stay home by themselves, because pet, like, dogs will just sit and stare at that for hours. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They do love it. | |
| Cats do too. | ||
| And the chickens just bug, bug, bug. | ||
| But we're also doing music. | ||
| And so I feel like The Daily Wire has gone this traditional route where they're doing movies and shows and stuff. | ||
| And we've gone more of the digital route with like YouTube channels like Castcastle and Pop Culture Crisis. | ||
| And so I feel like, you know, I want to see what they're up to because we're very much interested in doing shows, but that's not our area. | ||
| And so we talked with them and they were like, we'd love to do a show with you. | ||
| So I have an idea for a show that I think That's a really good idea for a show. | ||
| Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about. | ||
| Think X-Files. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I can't say too much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's the realm where you need the sort of creativity and innovation because the music industry, much to the chagrin of some huge artists and for some good reasons, actually has been democratized. | |
| So there are a lot of like really heterodox artists making music that you can find on Spotify because the barrier to entry has been lowered significantly and that still doesn't exist in like movie theaters or on cable TV. | ||
| Whereas TV shows, that's where you actually really need to have the production value and you need to have the viewership. | ||
| Let's read this one. | ||
| Kevin Billa says, How will Hollywood react when The Daily Wire makes a movie that is so Oscar worthy they have to be nominated or win? | ||
| Who cares about the Oscars? | ||
| It won't get nominated, but it will make a splash and change the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| All right, Dragon Lady says, Tim, Tim, Tim, in your first episode today, the Next Generation episode with Picard proving Data Sentience is Measure of a Man, not Make. | ||
| Thank you for the correction. | ||
| The one with the Romulan grandfather was the Drumhead. | ||
| Thank you for the correction. | ||
| Sins of the Father was about Worf's family. | ||
| Great Freedom tunes today. | ||
| Love your Fauci. | ||
| Yes, I said Make of a Man. | ||
| It's Measure of a Man. | ||
| And I said, I'm not sure what the episode is where they're trying to hunt down the Romulan spy because the guy's got a Romulan grandfather. | ||
| But I was like, it's not Sins of the Father, I don't think. | ||
| And thank you for the correction. | ||
| But I posted a clip from The Next Generation. | ||
| And for anybody who hasn't seen Star Trek, have you watched The Next Generation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Oh, you need to. | ||
| And you? | ||
| Yes, you have. | ||
| And everyone else? | ||
| You must. | ||
| Because there's probably a lot of people who... I'm surrounded by losers. | ||
| See, that's exactly... This is exactly what I'm going to point out right now is the problem. | ||
| You don't watch Star Trek because it's like... I don't like Star Wars. | ||
| Star Wars is fantasy, magic powers, Star Trek is watching a classically liberal society, technologically advanced, and Captain Picard is a role model, and as a fictional character, Patrick Stewart's portrayal, absolutely life-changing as a kid to see this. | ||
| There's a scene I posted, because we were watching it before the show. | ||
| Posted it on Twitter. | ||
| Data's an android. | ||
| He creates a daughter. | ||
| He creates a new version of himself. | ||
| He's the only android in existence, so the Federation is an admiral, and he's like, we have to seize it, because it's too powerful of a technological advancement. | ||
| And so he tells Data to give up his kid, and Data says, you know, this is my child, and I have a duty to my child. | ||
| And the admiral says, then I'm ordering you to give up your child. | ||
| And then Picard says, belay that order. | ||
| The admiral goes, I beg your pardon. | ||
| Data, and then Picard goes, Data, stand your ground. | ||
| And then the admiral says, you are risking your command and your career. | ||
| And Picard smirks and says, there comes a time when men of good conscience must disobey orders that are unjust, or something to that effect. | ||
| And he says, to compel a man to give up his child to the state, Not while I'm captain, and I'm just like clapping. | ||
| Classical liberalism, classical civil libertarianism, all of those values. | ||
| Telling your commanding officer that I will sacrifice my career, my command, and everything to defend one person's rights and their freedoms and liberties? | ||
| Aw, man. | ||
| That show is just gold and I wish we had something like it today. | ||
| One of many episodes where in real life Picard would immediately be relieved of command. | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, yes. | |
| Yeah, obviously the worst captain in Starfleet. | ||
| Everyone knows Sisko. | ||
| Sisko is by far the best commander. | ||
| He was great. | ||
| What's the one where he stages the false flag? | ||
| You know what I'm talking about? | ||
| With the Cardassians? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I can't remember it. | ||
| But I will say, to the writer's credit, you're right about him being relieved of command. | ||
| In the episode, before anything can happen, there's an emergency call and they rush to the lab where Data's daughter is dying. | ||
| And so the Admiral is then desperately trying to save Data's daughter and says, I'm sorry. | ||
| And that's what prevents it from escalating beyond Picard. | ||
| I think what part of what made that show so phenomenal- But in like, in any real Navy, Picard would be really- Oh, I mean, he's violated- Long, long before he ever became in command of any, like, actual starship. | ||
| Patrick Stewart was a starship. | ||
| Theatrically trained actor. | ||
| He had massive stage presence and knew how to project the entire stown stage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So he was commanding with his voice, not just his rank. | |
| Like, you look at Janeway and I felt she had such a weak voice that like, if she's down the hall yelling commanding orders, it's like- Well, she's just silly. | ||
| Picard! | ||
| You know, it was like- I thought they didn't command with their voices the way that Picard did. | ||
| Isn't today William Shatner's birthday? | ||
| All of the 90's era Star Trek shows were good. | ||
| Voyager just was like a C+. | ||
| I thought they were so... I didn't see any of them after I tried. | ||
| I'm an Enterprise fan. I will... it's not a bad show. | ||
| Prequels. | ||
| Die on that hill. | ||
| I wanted to like it. | ||
| Excuse me, it is not just a prequel. | ||
| It is also far in the future. | ||
| Hey, I think I found out that Alex Jones was not in A Skinner Darkly, but in Waking Life. | ||
| No, he's in both. | ||
| He's in both. | ||
| They're both Richard Linklater films. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let's read some more. | ||
| We got Kristen Himmel says, Tim, we need to stop supporting the woke corporations that hate our values. | ||
| There is an app called Public SQ. | ||
| Public Square. | ||
| Public Square. | ||
| That is fighting against this and has a marketplace of over 4,000 businesses that support conservative values. | ||
| You should interview the CEO, Michael Selfert. | ||
| So I actually know about Public Square. | ||
| Recently got acquainted with them. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| So it's basically like I kind of describe it as like next door, but for companies that don't hate you. | ||
| So you can download it on whatever platform you have. | ||
| They're both on Apple and Android. | ||
| And you can go in and if you just want something like, hey, I want to go to a restaurant that's all locally sourced, you can do that. | ||
| Or you can find whatever service you want. | ||
| You can plug in your address. | ||
| You can find ones that are in your area. | ||
| And if you are like someone who wants to be listed on something like that, you can just put up a thing for free. | ||
| Public Square is actually really, really cool when it comes to that stuff. | ||
| And this is just something that obviously should exist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| The wrong writer says a free man thinks rules are followed, a slave thinks rules are enforced. | ||
| Did you guys know that since the New York Times took over Wordle, you can't put the word slave in? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I did not know that. | |
| That's scandalous. | ||
| So for those that don't know what Wordle is, it's a five letter word. | ||
| I thought of a response to that comment. | ||
| The slave one? | ||
| No, no, the guys. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Well, what's your response? | ||
| My response is the shopping cart theorem. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Are you familiar with the shopping cart theorem? | ||
| Well, there's the shopping cart test, but what's the test? | ||
| The idea being that there are people who will put the shopping cart back and there are people who will not put the shopping cart back. | ||
| You suffer no penalty for not putting the shopping cart back. | ||
| you will incur no, no, you know, fee or fine. | ||
| No one's ever going to come and, you know, chase you down and | ||
| indict you for this. | ||
| And yet you do it because you are an upstanding member of society. | ||
| This is the rule. | ||
| However, there are people who will not put the shopping cart | ||
| back and they are the ones who, because of them, we require law | ||
|
unidentified
|
enforcement. | |
| You know what? | ||
| Well, hold on. | ||
| What you're missing from that is that the shopping cart test is | ||
| it's a minor inconvenience to you with no reward, but also no | ||
| But it's the right thing to do to return the shopping cart to the corral. | ||
| However, you go to stores and what do you see shopping carts are everywhere strewn about. | ||
| And that's our society. | ||
| I worked at a grocery store and was the bag boy and cashier and all that. | ||
| And I would collect the carts. | ||
| I always take the carts back. | ||
| It feels good to do a good deed for another person. | ||
| It does. | ||
| Especially when you, I like, um... Right, but that makes you a good, that means you're a good citizen. | ||
| If you can give a little and that other person gets a lot out of it, that's a valuable trade for you, even if you're never gonna see that person. | ||
| But Ian, not everyone in society... | ||
| believes the way you believe, or I believe, because they are not good citizens. | ||
| And because of people who are willing to forego that inconvenience as a detriment to society, that's what then necessitates the rules and the enforcers of the rules. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's the John Adams, if men were angels, right? | |
| And that is, it's sort of a cliche, but true. | ||
| Sorry, libertarians. | ||

|
Yeah. | |
| Joshua LeBlanc says about time Emily is on the show. | ||
| Federalist radio hour is great, and she killed it on Rising. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thanks! | |
| That's so nice of you. | ||
| Is this the first time you're on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, first time I was on. | |
| I appreciate the shout out for Federalist Radio Hour because it's a daily show like what you guys do and you guys know that's a lot of work. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| When do you do your show? | ||
| What time is it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I pre-tape some, I do some the same day, so it's just kind of a constant grind, but you guys know that. | |
| Does it always go up at the same hour every day? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I mean, it usually goes up around 5 p.m. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Cool, thanks. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Justin Williams says, do you think the convention of states will be a way to save the government from itself? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Why is that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And I just think there's so many of these sort of do nothing things out there that sound good on paper. | ||
| But at the end of the day, if you're not addressing what Emily brought up, this idea of And even something as substantive as calling a convention of the states, which would require a Herculean sort of public effort to even make happen, you're still going to be basically tinkering around the margins until you deal with what Jack just said. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like the president could just be like, no, we're going to override anything the convention said. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the administrative state. | |
| I mean, we just talked about it. | ||
| I mean, look at what the education department does. | ||
| And what you just said about the Fed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right. | ||
| This is the century in the making. | ||
|
unidentified
|
More. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Or yeah, potentially more. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right. | ||
| XplantX says, Ian, did you get the book I sent you? | ||
| The Book of Antithesis. | ||
| It's an occult grimoire of real magic for D&D dungeon masters. | ||
| It's now available in the US web store from the Lamentations of Flame Princess. | ||
| Don't mess with the cult. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Love it. | |
| Don't do it. | ||
| Do not mess with the cult. | ||
| I don't know if I got that or not. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| I've been wanting to do... Do not screw around with such things. | ||
| I've been wanting to do a D&D based on like... D&D, fine, sure. | ||
| I'm all into demonology. | ||
| I think his story made them evil, but they're not actually. | ||
| I wanted to do a D&D based on modern politics. | ||
| So it's like running for all campaign instead of fighting dragons. | ||
| And so it's, it's what they did with Podesta and the... This is, yeah, they came up with a game for the 2020 election. | ||
| Right, so I'm like, I would love to play a game like that and film it. | ||
| Ever since I read that, they war-gamed. | ||
| Didn't they have Trump, like, declared martial law or something? | ||
| It got nuts. | ||
| It would be hilarious. | ||
| It would be like, you know, Ian could play as Hillary, and he'd be like, I'm gonna run in 2028. | ||
| And like, you know, she looks like Skeletor. | ||
| Critical success. | ||
| Critical success. | ||
| 80 to my role, because I'm familiar with the Council on Foreign Relations. | ||
| But that would be hilarious to film. | ||
| We should do that. | ||
| We should call it the Liberal World Order. | ||
| The Liberal World Order. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yes, we should. | |
| Yeah, I like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Seamus can be Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That'll be fun. | ||
| And then we'll just see how... We should do that for 2024. | ||
| That'd be fun, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, we should do it. | ||
| That'd be awesome. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got. | ||
| Elijah J. Kramer says, this group is always high on free speech, and I think all would agree it's a cornerstone of our Republic. | ||
| Why then do I not see any of you on Gab? | ||
| It's the only true free speech platform. | ||
| I'm on Gab. | ||
| I posted on Gab last night. | ||
| I don't, I don't post on Gab all that often. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| It's tough because you got to go to every network and post on every network, separately, Facebook, Twitter. | ||
| And so my tweets auto post to mine. | ||
| So that's been simple for me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, and I understand the necessity, like, I post on Twitter because it's helpful to sort of amplify the message, but I actually, and I talked to, at the time, the CEO of Parler about this, you cannot just replicate these evil, secular platforms without changing the addictive functionings of them, right? | |
| So, like, you cannot just come up with Gab or Parler Or Rumble, all of which I think are great sort of test balloons. | ||
| Or Rumble, at least, I think is a good test balloon. | ||
| And I think Parler was as well, that sort of are saying, well, look, there is a market for this. | ||
| Do it better and you will attract customers and you capitalists can take your money. | ||
| But we can't just do that if we're replicating the mechanisms that keep people sick and addicted and depressed on different places. | ||
| And so I'm already on one of those. | ||
| I don't feel the need to do it more than once. | ||
| Yeah, I think if Rumble, by the way, if they're able to integrate Rumble with sort of some of the stuff we're talking about with like Daily Wire and streaming and some of these things, that is going to, because Rumble is obviously already fantastic, but that you get that integration going, that would take it to the next level. | ||
| I think Rumble needs a kind of like Twitter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Micro blogging function. | ||
| It would make them huge. | ||
| Oh yeah, that's what YouTube forgot to do was integrate a little Twitter function in the early days. | ||
| The challenge is, yes, but the challenge is when it gets too cluttered. | ||
| So a lot of people tell me Mines is too cluttered. | ||
| Yeah, it's like trying to do everything at once. | ||
| You gotta, you know, lots of buttons and stuff. | ||
| Once you figure it out, it's phenomenal. | ||
| But there's just a high learning curve. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, let's read this. | ||
| Sequitur Tenebris says, quick PSA if anybody else hasn't done it. | ||
| A major tornado just went through the lower ninth ward of New Orleans. | ||
| Major damage and loss of life. | ||
| They don't have enough ambulances. | ||
| Man, sorry to hear. | ||
| I hope everybody Actually, my, my, my producer at Human Events Daily, actually, she's from Louisiana, and she was saying that her family got a tornado warning earlier today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| So yeah, that's awful. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Wicked Liss says, a series you should do, Tim, and maybe with Seamus, is create cartoons explaining how government works, aka old cartoon, I Am Just a Bill. | ||
| Seamus actually has a show, it's Common Sense Soapbox, I think? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That he does a lot, a lot of- F.E.E. | ||
| Yeah, with F.E.E., basically does that. | ||
| Yeah, it's great. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Hamrod says, Dan Crenshaw is not establishment, guys. | ||
| YouTubers are. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| I can see it. | ||
| Was that a reference to something? | ||
| No, I think we're like... | ||
| Is that sarcastic? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| We invited Dan on the show and he said yes and then he said no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not surprising. | |
| I mean, I think it's trying to make this point that YouTubers who decry cancel culture, rightfully | ||
| so, are in some ways very much... | ||
| Like, they have become very powerful. | ||
| That doesn't make you establishment. | ||
| And that's a huge mistake. | ||
| I think people make although it's an easy one to make. | ||
| If you're establishment, you're beholden to all of this, this infrastructure that includes special interests. | ||
| And if you're a YouTuber, that's really powerful. | ||
| I mean, you have to maintain the trust of your audience. | ||
| And that's a very different thing. | ||
| All right, Ryan Brown says, if you think the fourth turning is real, then look at the Rendsburg Prophecies. | ||
| It's very detailed and geopolitically accurate from 100 years ago. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| You know what's fascinating is the story of Baron Trump from the 1800s. | ||
| The underground, what is it, the underground journey or something? | ||
| It's got to be fake. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, what is this? | ||
| Yeah, I know, like it can't be real. | ||
| Ingersoll Lockwood or whatever, was it the name? | ||
| And apparently the book's real, but someone had to have written it and then claimed it was from a long time ago. | ||
| My favorite Barron Trump conspiracy theory is that Steve Bannon is Barron Trump from the future sent back to guide his father. | ||
| Oh, that makes sense. | ||
| It's called the Barron Trump Novels from 1889. | ||
| In the novel, hold on. | ||
| In one of the novels, Trump Castle on Fifth Avenue is attacked by socialists and anarchists from the Lower East Side of Manhattan. | ||
| That's actually in the book. | ||
| This is not real, is it? | ||
| They remained obscure until 2017 when they received media attention for perceived similarities. | ||
| There's a meme of Trump from the 1980s. | ||
| The meme just goes, Donald Trump 1980. | ||
| Why do time travelers keep trying to kill me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm just a real estate guy! | |
| I'd love to see people on the Lower East Side riot. | ||
| That'd be fun, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There we go. | |
| Lissandra and Dreamwalker says Star Trek Deep Space Nine in the pale moonlight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
| Talk about a good TV show. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| I just haven't been able to get into it. | ||
| You guys like Deep Space Nine? | ||
| Did you watch this episode? | ||
| Did you watch all of Deep Space Nine? | ||
| It's the only Star Trek series where there's like an actual war. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the Federation's, like, basically losing, and they need to figure out a way to get the Romulans to join their side in this war, so they stage a false flag attack against the Romulans. | ||
| Yeah, that was the idea. | ||
| Dude, it's crazy. | ||
| It came out when I was younger. | ||
| It felt, like, too political. | ||
| It was a lot of talking. | ||
| Not enough, like, laser beams and frozen dudes and stuff. | ||
| That's what I'm telling people, man! | ||
| Its next generation is far more political than Deep Space Nine. | ||
| Deep Space Nine is because Roddenberry didn't like interpersonal conflict. | ||
| And so that's why when you watch TNG, it's this very, like, sanitized culture that no actual, like, anyone who served in the military would ever find anywhere. | ||
| Because he didn't allow there to be interpersonal conflict between characters on the ship. | ||
| Because the Federation is this enlightened, progressive culture. | ||
| You can see it in the way they stand, too. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| But there's also children on the ship. | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I feel strongly that I am not drunk enough to have this conversation. | |
| And then Deep Space Nine was the first one that came out after Roddenberry died, and so probably wouldn't have allowed it to come to pass. | ||
| And they're on the fringes of the Federation, and there's a wormhole, and a war takes place, and it's just this... | ||
| You know, it's this almost emerging of sort of the Star Wars type of plot line, but in the Star Trek universe. | ||
| Are they able to open and close the wormhole? | ||
| Can they open and close the wormhole at will? | ||
| No, it's just open. | ||
| That's dangerous. | ||
| That's the first episode. | ||
| Are they on the other side of the wormhole too, like they have another outpost over there? | ||
| Well, that's part of the show. | ||
| Yeah, but basically, a powerful alien race from a different quadrant is able to gain access, and it's more powerful than basically all of the typical, you know, Star Trek races you're familiar with. | ||
| So, the Federation losing, they have a conversation where, like, if the Romulans, who are longtime enemies of the Federation, would join the Federation and the Klingons in the war, they could win. | ||
| And so the Romulans are like, no, we're going to team up with the Dominion. | ||
| They're going to offer us favorable deals, conquer you guys. | ||
| And then they have this conversation where they're like, you think that once they conquer us, they're going to let you, they're going to spare you? | ||
| And they're like, we'll see. | ||
| So the Federation stages a false flag attack, killing a Romulan senator, blaming it on the Dominion to force them to enter the war on their side. | ||
| Yo bro, talk about good TV. | ||
| Like, if you're into the stuff we talk about, you will want to watch Star Trek. | ||
| The next generation, at least. | ||
| And Deep Space Nine. | ||
| I think the first one was great. | ||
| It was a little campy. | ||
| I mean, it's very campy by today's standards, but powerful, like Leonard Nimoy and, you know, Shatner. | ||
| Just seeing, like, if you have questions, if you have questions about false flags and, like, what governments and militaries do, they wrote a script exploring these ideas in a great war and why even, you're supposed to like the Federation. | ||
| They're the good guys. | ||
| That being said, while we're on the subject, I didn't plan to talk about any of this tonight, but when people ask me Star Wars or Star Trek, I always say that the correct answer is clearly Battlestar Galactica. | ||
| I thought it was good. | ||
| It was only one season, right? | ||
| I mean, the new one, Battlestar. | ||
| Did it go on for multiple seasons? | ||
| No, it's four. | ||
| It just felt like the same season that went on too long. | ||
| Nope, definitely four seasons. | ||
| Battlestar's fantastic. | ||
| It started off good, and then kind of... It's better than both of them. | ||
| We're going to go to the members segment. | ||
