You know how I know that there's no news? | |
| Well, for one, it's Thanksgiving week, basically. | ||
| Everybody's taking vacation. | ||
| I was watching a bit of Crowder's show, and even Steven Crowder's taking vacation starting tomorrow, and I'm like, really? | ||
| I hate taking days off, man, you know? | ||
| But if even Crowder's taking off this early in the week, I'm like, maybe we just gotta call it, because there's no news. | ||
| There's limited news. | ||
| There's some stories, but I said, you know how I know there's no news? | ||
| Because apparently it's me. | ||
| Cause I'm trending on Twitter along with Matt Walsh and I'm like, okay, now I know they're scraping at the bottom of the barrel. | ||
| Cause like normally you've got, you know, Biden and the Democrats. | ||
| And then as there's less and less news, they go lower and there's like sports and athletes. | ||
| They're so far down the abyss of desperation that they found me. | ||
| And so I'm trending on Twitter or whatever. | ||
| But I have to warn you, there's a lot of crazy stuff to talk about pertaining to Colorado, what happened, why I'm trending. | ||
| However, this is an extremely serious conversation, which means it's probably going to have to be in the members-only show. | ||
| So, uh, not only that, but with Thanksgiving week, there's, there's, there really are limited new topics to talk about, and I'm not just gonna, you know, force a show. | ||
| So what we'll do is, you know, we've got some stories we'll lead with, uh, apparently there's an insider saying the Disney CEO was fired because he was rejecting these woke policies. | ||
| Perhaps after seeing revenue decline or, you know, what's going on in Florida, he said, hey guys, let's pull the, pump the brakes. | ||
| Not entirely convinced, but maybe ESG score is a bigger motivator. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| Ice Cube said he turned down a $9,000,000 movie role because they wanted him to get the vaccine, and he didn't want to do it, which I think is very, very interesting. | ||
| And then we have the Balenciaga bag update. | ||
| They've apologized, taken down the ad, said, hey, we shouldn't have put kids with BDSM teddy bears. | ||
| And then, oh, man. | ||
| The craziness surrounding all this other news we'll probably have in the members-only show for you, so become a member at TimCast.com. | ||
| Actually, before we get started, head over to TimCast.com, become a member, and we'll talk a lot about this news. | ||
| And, you know, we had a tough conversation before the show. | ||
| But, uh, considering how serious the news is, and this is one of the most serious stories, I think, we'll, you know, bits of escalation that we'll talk about, it's gonna have to be at TimCast.com. | ||
| Has to be, I'm sorry, just, you know, because even people are commenting saying, like, it's impossible to find the show, YouTube's suppressing it, it's not even appearing on the channel page, people saying, oh, they're gonna certainly ban them tonight. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, you know, with, with me trending and what they're claiming, We'll save these stories for TimCast.com, and then we'll just hang out, we'll talk politics. | ||
| So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends. | ||
| Joining us today to talk about all of this news is John Doyle. | ||
| Yes, yeah, very excited for the show. | ||
| Thank you guys for having me. | ||
| Also excited for the members-only section. | ||
| I know we have an incentive to encourage people, but it is true, this is probably one of the more important conversations that could be had today, and even probably this year. | ||
| So we're definitely going to get into some good stuff there. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| We were talking about what story we should lead with, and there is a very, very big story, but then we all kind of were like, yo, they'll totally ban us. | ||
| Like, even if we mention it in neutral context and do news reporting, and they were like, plus we have John here, so like, we shouldn't give any excuses. | ||
| And so this is the unfortunate reality of deep escalation in civil conflict. | ||
| We'll put it that way. | ||
| So, John, thanks for hanging out. | ||
| This should be fun either way, because we do have a lot of stories to talk about. | ||
| We still have a bit. | ||
| We also have Luke hanging out. | ||
| So, hey guys! | ||
| I know the situation looks dire and the forecast looks bleak, but if there's one thing that gives me hope, it is Biden-Federman 2024, and that's why today I am wearing my Biden-Federman shirt, which you could get on BidenFederman.com. | ||
| It's an actual website. | ||
| And because Black Friday is going to be this Friday, we said screw it, screw all the corporations. | ||
| We're going to launch our Black Friday sale now. | ||
| We have a promo code Luke, which gives you 15% off and more. | ||
| Promo code Luke on BidenFetterman.com. | ||
| See you there. | ||
| It's a no-brainer. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And I am in Ian's seat again. | ||
| My name is Mary. | ||
| I do pop culture crisis right here at TimCast. | ||
| Happy to be on tonight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I am Serge DiPria, a.k.a. | |
| Serge.com. | ||
| Nice to meet you guys again. | ||
| Oh, look at that. | ||
| Someone said they got a reminder for the upcoming show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| So interesting. | ||
| So thank you all so much for sharing the show. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| If they suppress notifications, if they hide the show, you take the URL, if you share it wherever, it makes it impossible for them to censor. | ||
| Because there's a challenge. | ||
| If they do things that are overt, they could be in breach of contract. | ||
| So they have to do things that are more subversive. | ||
| And, uh, then feign ignorance because it's very hard to get discovery to prove they're actually trying to suppress you, but perhaps there's a pattern of behavior that we can show that something is happening. | ||
| It's not so easy. | ||
| But, uh, let's talk about the news! | ||
| We got this story from Bounding into Comics! | ||
| Ooh, I like this one. | ||
| Disney Insider speculates Bob Chapek was fired because he crossed Disney's HR department that pushed radical woke politics. | ||
| Disney insider WDWPro recently speculated on why he believes the Walt Disney Company axed Chapek just months after renewing his contract through 2025. | ||
| At the end of June, quote, the Walt Disney Company board of directors unanimously voted to extend Chapek's contract as CEO for three years. | ||
| Chairman of the board Susan Arnold explained, Disney was dealt a tough hand by the pandemic, yet with Bob at the helm, our businesses from parks to streaming not only weathered the storm but emerged in a position of strength. | ||
| I don't want to mention that he's the right leader at the right time. | ||
| However, Sunday he was giving his walking papers. | ||
| They issued a press release. | ||
| Discussing the move to fire Chapek and bring back Eiger, Disney Insider appeared on Midnight's Edge and speculated as to the cause of Chapek's firing. | ||
| When we see a change like this, this tends to come from the institutional level. | ||
| This doesn't come from anything that's very small. | ||
| So what I think probably happened is Bob Chapek, he's got some enemies, and those enemies were primarily coming out of Latondra Newton's department over in HR with the DEI stuff, and that's highly connected with ESG. | ||
| He continued, and I'm going to bet that as he was looking for places to make cuts in the company, he may have crossed a threshold he wasn't supposed to cross. | ||
| And in doing so, those big three investors, we're talking about the vanguards, the black rocks, that they may have said to the board, we're ready to begin reassessing our relationship with you. | ||
| We're not talking about fans who got mad about Star Wars. | ||
| We're not talking about individual investors who said, I'm going to pull my $10,000 out of Disney. | ||
| We're talking about people who have the ability to say, I'm pulling my billions and billions and billions that are generated through 401ks and other things that we have associated with you unless you get rid of this guy now. | ||
| Speculation! | ||
| But, uh, I don't know. | ||
| I kind of think it makes sense. | ||
| But I'm not convinced that Chepik was, like, anti-Woke or anything, but I think ESG is a powerful factor, so, um... | ||
| I saw people misinterpreting this from both sides. | ||
| Like, first I saw Christopher Rufo saying that Chapek's firing was a rebuke of woke leadership. | ||
| So we're supposed to buy the narrative that Chapek was anti-woke, but also that he was woke. | ||
| And then I saw other people complaining about Bob Chapek being anti-LGBT and betraying his LGBT employees. | ||
| So I don't know what narrative to buy here. | ||
| I think really it's just that he was a pandemic CEO and now they're getting rid of him for training or replacement. | ||
| I was gonna say, anytime one of these companies, whether it's Disney or Nike, has some sort of incident, conservatives like to pounce on it and be like, get woke, go broke. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Even under this guy's leadership like year-to-year revenue was up his first year I think 6% then from 21 to 22 is like 20% so he was doing a good job financially speaking and so it makes you wonder how woke the company wants things to go if this is the guy who even when you know Buzz Lightyear's got like a gay kids and these things are happening even he's like allowing that to happen what was he preventing from happening we're now HR something it feels like he stepped on his toes and now they want him out and they're gonna bring back Bob They just put their newest movie, Strange World, I think it's called. | ||
| They have the first openly gay protagonist for a kids movie. | ||
| And I saw people celebrating this. | ||
| JPEG didn't do anything to stop that. | ||
| Yeah, it's kind of weird because I assumed they're all woke, you know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah, weren't they both pretty woke? | ||
| Weren't they both kind of instituting these policies? | ||
| Get woke! | ||
| Stay broke! | ||
| I mean, Iger was always more openly political and openly woke than Chapek, but I think that they might have been planning to fire Chapek. | ||
| And at the end of the day, I think it's important to understand the importance of the ESG score, the institutional money, the BlackRock money that is there, that is calling for a lot of these policies to be implemented, no matter what the price that's going to be paid for them. | ||
| So I don't think these are even company-made decisions. | ||
| I think these are decisions made even higher up than that. | ||
| As we're seeing the same kind of cultural push all at once pushing these larger kind of ideas out there. | ||
| Now there is reports that Disney had a $1.5 billion streaming lost last quarter, that their theme parks aren't doing too well with customers being unhappy. | ||
| They also have ESPN, which people call a sinking network. | ||
| So a lot of things are happening here, but again, Disney doesn't have the best record, especially with their child actors, especially with them previously thanking concentration camp guards in East Turkestan. | ||
| So this is a company that, again, is major. | ||
| It's a big powerhouse. | ||
| It's interesting to see this switch, and I think people are going to attribute it to their own political beliefs rather than actually what's really happening there. | ||
| You can blame the CEO as you want, but I think it's important to highlight the bigger pressures above the CEO that they need to comply with. | ||
| You notice that, you know, they're talking about policies of DEI. | ||
| And, man, that's really interesting, isn't it? | ||
| Because, you know what? | ||
| How do you pronounce it? | ||
| Day? | ||
| Is that how you pronounce it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
In Latin? | |
| I've never said it. | ||
| Day. | ||
| In Latin. | ||
| I've always heard everyone refer to it as D-I-E for... No, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Latin. | |
| It's a Latin word. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| But it's diversity, equity, inclusion. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| There's a Latin word. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Day. | |
| I think it's pronounced day, right? | ||
| Of God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And it's very weird that they use the same word for their non-theistic religion. | ||
| It is a religion hands down. | ||
| I never thought that was on purpose. | ||
| Do you think that's on purpose? | ||
| I don't know if it's on purpose, but it's a heck of a coincidence. | ||
| We are still closer to occult symbolism that we might be comfortable with acknowledging, and it's interesting because the same way that, like, under a Catholic monarchy, no decision would be made at any institutional level without first thinking, well, how is this going to be viewed in the eyes of God? | ||
| We do the same thing in this country, except, well, how are black people or how are gay people going to feel about this? | ||
| So we are literally, as Tim said, worshipping like this. | ||
| Well, hold on. | ||
| I agree and I disagree. | ||
| I think it's not even about race, because Candace Owens, they don't care what she and Kanye have to say, or Kyrie Irving. | ||
| Like, all of a sudden their race is erased from the conversation. | ||
| It really is just, we have a cult, we have things we claim, and if you agree with it, that's what they're—so they're really talking about The religion. | ||
| Like, it makes it more about the religion. | ||
| How does this impact our religion, is basically how they view it. | ||
| I think that's true, but I think if Candace Owens were saying things that they agreed with, then she would be, you know, a face on MSNBC or something like that. | ||
| I think it's because they view her as basically a race traitor that she's now disinvited from the conversation because she's an Uncle Tom or whatever. | ||
| But it's... I guess this is my point. | ||
| Candace Owens can have similar opinions to Ben Shapiro, and Ben Shapiro's Jewish and she's black, and it doesn't matter. | ||
| But then you can have someone, uh, who's that MSNBC woman who got fired recently? | ||
| I can't remember. | ||
| But, uh, it's like, it's like the race doesn't matter. | ||
| It's, it's, if do you agree with them or don't you agree with them? | ||
| If you're a white person and you agree with them, you're in. | ||
| If you're a black person and you disagree with them, you're out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think that, but Candace would be considered like an outlier with what they regard to be like black interest or things like that. | ||
| I mean, she is a dissenting voice within America and with also the black community. | ||
| So I think that, you know, even on Twitter, every time she goes viral, all of the replies are from black people calling her a race traitor, calling her Uncle Tom, things like that. | ||
| And so even regardless of skin color, I mean, she's still serving, I think, what they ultimately want, which is like enforced equality in this country. | ||
| I think, and I agree, I think the reason why they take such offense to Candace specifically is because it does damage their narrative. | ||
| Seeing people who are just like, hey, I don't agree with your ideas, and my race isn't a component. | ||
| Then they're like, no, that can't be allowed. | ||
| Like, we can't have people who say those things. | ||
| So you're internalizing white supremacy. | ||
| I think there's more room for dissent, though, if you're not white. | ||
| Because I don't think Kanye would have gotten away with what he said to the extreme that he has if he were white. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree that, you know, like- And Dave Chappelle too, for that monologue he did on SNL. | |
| Right. | ||
| If you are a marginalized person, you are allowed to wield the sword more so than if you're a white person. | ||
| So you can be a somewhat dissenting voice. | ||
| If you agree with the cult and challenge it in a way like, actually, you're being a bigot, then they'll be, oh, I'm sorry, they'll defer, right? | ||
| So obviously there's like a weird identitarian hierarchy to what these people believe. | ||
| Anyway, the reason I brought this up, not to just, you know, to go back to what I was saying is, They call it God. | ||
| Whether intentionally or not, D-E-I means God. | ||
| Of God. | ||
| That's creepy to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Apparently pronounced Day-ee, by the way. | ||
| Day-ee, there you go. | ||
| See, I knew I wasn't getting it right because I don't speak Latin or anything like that. | ||
| I think it's both right. | ||
| Yeah, both right. | ||
| Elon Musk tweeted Vox Populi, Vox Dei, or whatever. | ||
| And I know what that means. | ||
| I mean, simply put, because I played Bioshock Infinite. | ||
| You played there, right? | ||
| I owned a copy, yeah. | ||
| Oh, OK. | ||
| So you know the Vox Populi, I think, the voice of the people? | ||
| And I know what Dei means, or Dei, whatever. | ||
| And so I saw what he said, I understood the gist. | ||
| The voice of the people is the voice of God, or however you want to explain it. | ||
| And then I was like, ah, that's very funny, touche, Elon Musk. | ||
| And then I looked it up, and when I tried searching for it, Latin doesn't come up. | ||
| Wokeness comes up. | ||
| When you search for day, when you search, like, yeah, what comes up is not God or Latin. | ||
| What comes up is all of these websites about equity and wokeness and all the other creepy stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it church? | |
| Equity is particularly scary because it's harder to define that than equality. | ||
| I mean if it's equality okay everyone should be equal. | ||
| Equity implies this like vague narrative of who has had injustice done to them and they define the narrative so that is of course going to be anybody who isn't a straight white male and so because of that they have this like trojan horse that's painted in the blood of like black slaves and in that they're going to contain all of this stuff that's going to disenfranchise White people, straight people, normal people from being able to access these positions in favor of what they want, which is the DEI stuff, which of course is never going to be, you're never going to see like a board of like a bunch of, you know, Latino people and they're going to be like, you need more white people. | ||
| It's always diversity being defined as less white people, more people of color, which is the way that they define it. | ||
| Because then you have all non-white people versus white people, people of color. | ||
| And it's like, well, I mean, frankly, you know, white people, we have all sorts of different eye colors, different hair colors, things like that. | ||
| Looks not white. | ||
| You're not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
See? | |
| Exactly. | ||
| He didn't even know. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You don't recognize my people's struggles? | ||
| I come from the Slavic people that have been through a lot of struggles. | ||
| My family has been through some crazy stuff. | ||
| Wait, wait, hold on. | ||
| Sorry, sorry. | ||
| I can't interrupt. | ||
| What's your ethnic background? | ||
| Well, so, I'm Irish. | ||
| Some people even say that Irish aren't white. | ||
| So, maybe I can... But are you just Irish? | ||
| Irish and French, I think. | ||
| Okay, so you're white. | ||
| Luke is Polish. | ||
| So that makes him a person of color. | ||
| But sorry, Luke. | ||
| But the horrible thing... Don't interrupt me. | ||
| Let marginalized voices speak. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| But if we're truly going to go through, okay, your people were oppressed, okay, there's a long history. | ||
| There's a lot of cultures. | ||
| There's a lot of people who were oppressed, who dealt with slavery, who dealt with oppression, whether by the Russians or the fascists or whatever it may be. | ||
| My family went through all of that. | ||
| But at the same time, it's kind of disingenuous to tell the people, the more of a victim you are, the better you are, the better you are in our system. | ||
| And I think That right there is not only promoting victim mentality, but also making, you know, cheapens things, and it disincentivizes people from actually taking grips of control of their life and saying, hey, I'm in charge of this, I'm not a victim, I set my own destiny here, and that works in direct parallel against it, which is absolutely disingenuous and horrible, I think, and has a very negative effect on the psyche of a lot of these people and individuals. | ||
| Let me tell you what else I find very strange, because everybody knows what equity means, right? | ||
| Equity means the value of shares issued by a company. | ||
| And more. | ||
| He owns 62% of the group's equity. | ||
| It means the value of a mortgaged property after deduction of charges against it. | ||
| It references a trade union, an equity card or whatever. | ||
| And then on Google it says, the quality of being fair and impartial. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| In Latin, it comes from equis, Equitas and equite and then equity. | ||
| And I think it's pretty interesting that the colloquial understanding of the word was never fairness. | ||
| We always use equity, at least in my life, to refer to your value. | ||
| So when you say something like, oh, I have a hundred grand equity in my home or whatever, you're specifically referring to what is the intrinsic value of what you have or something like that. | ||
| There's something creepy about them coming out and using this terminology, the value | ||
| of shares, as you know, company stakeholder capitalism and things like that, and then | ||
| referring to how they need equity. | ||
| It sounds like they're trying to define what value do you bring to this system? | ||
| Now I don't know, perhaps to stretch, but when we're at a point in history where you | ||
| have the Great Reset, the World Economic Forum coming out outright saying stuff about overpopulation | ||
| for years, and then they're asking you about how we can push for equity. | ||
| It sounds like, to me, they're arguing, can we push for a system where people have a higher value than Liability. | ||
| And a lot of this stuff is crazy, especially seeing the NHL say that there's too many white people in their league. | ||
| Wait, I said that? | ||
| Yeah, and that they're having specific outreach programs that are going to make it more equitable, that are going to make NHL teams more diverse. | ||
| So we don't see that in the NBA. | ||
| I mean, if we're going to be doing that with the NHL, are we going to be doing that with the NBA, just to be fair? | ||
| Fair here, and obviously that's not going to happen here, but when you have a society based on artificial things and allegiance to the cult rather than actual merit, you're going to have a society that fails. | ||
| This is why a lot of people believe communism failed, mainly because it wasn't the best person for the job. | ||
| It wasn't the hardest working person for the job. | ||
| It was, oh, you have the perfect allegiance. | ||
| You have the perfect family lineage. | ||
| You have the person Who we're close with and friends with, who's going to be in these positions of power because you're close to us, because you bow down, because you respect authority. | ||
| That's not a society that is actually progressive. | ||
| That's a society that is degressive and overall hurts humanity. | ||
| Getting people to give their perfect allegiance to a government requires taking their religion away from them. | ||
| That's reeling it back to religion. | ||
| They want to make the state your religion. | ||
| They want to make obedience to the cult your religion, rather than, of course, an actual religion based in God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or maybe just worshipping yourself. | |
| That also, too, I think is another important element. | ||
| That's what representation is all about. | ||
| It's just like, I need to see myself all the time. | ||
| Even when I'm not looking in a mirror, I need to see myself in media. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's a problem if you see color, and it's a problem if you don't see color. | ||
| Which, again, is just such a confusing political social landscape that we're supposed to be living in, that a lot of people are living in fear. | ||
| A lot of people are uncomfortable. | ||
| And when it comes to humor, that softens a lot of this kind of Uncomfortability, that is banned. | ||
| That is censored. | ||
| That is being attacked. | ||
| And we see Dave Chappelle being, you know, called anti-semitic, which is, I think, absolutely absurd and crazy, when his comments were hitting at everyone and making people laugh about something that people are taking way too seriously and creating more of a divide in our society, which I think is being done deliberately by central controllers, because the more that we could fight each other, The less we're actually looking at the true oppressors, the true multinational corporations, the true big bankers, the true people in power that are screwing us over and creating this larger economic havoc that we're having to deal with and really screwing everyone over. | ||
| I don't know if it's that. | ||
| I think it's probably more that that conflict exists naturally. | ||
| I think people are very tribalistic, and I think that they do have an incentive to kind of stoke the flames of that, but this is sort of like, I think, the record of history. | ||
| And it is interesting how any identity, like we talked about religion, that you have that would separate you from the state, whether it's a religious identity, a cultural identity, national identity, Anything like that has been dissuaded and basically erased. | ||
| You're not allowed to have that. | ||
| And so when you're looking for an identity now in this country, you have, like, the state-approved identities. | ||
| You know, you can be, like, gay, for example. | ||
| And think about, like, since the beginning of time, humans have made flags to define themselves. | ||
| And now we have the pride flag, and then we have all the other flags like that. | ||
| That is just so telling to where young people are going nowadays, to where they want to feel like they can be proud of their identity, be proud of something, and so they have to wave the pride flag, which now, as I'm sure we'll get into on the national stage, is even more representative of American values and American power than the actual American flag. | ||
| Because when you see the American flag now flying at embassies in Saudi Arabia or whatever, you don't think of white picket fences and apple pie. | ||
| You think of gay people. | ||
| You think of things like that, because that is what America wants to promote on the world stage. | ||
| Oh, I disagree. | ||
| I think of soldiers, like if Saudi Arabia specifically, I think of oil. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| soldiers guarding oil fields and poppy fields in Afghanistan. | ||
| I think of Yemen and the humanitarian crisis that's still continuing right there, that's causing millions of people to die. | ||
| But the reason I bring that up is because U.S. | ||
| embassies were flying the pride flag. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And so like they're just outright, not in Saudi Arabia obviously, Just like the corporations, they don't, you know, virtue signal there. | ||
| This reminds me of the World Cup controversy in Qatar, because people are calling out the human rights violations in Qatar, that they mistreat their women, that they mistreat migrant workers and LGBT citizens there. | ||
| And yet, when Westerners call it out, they're told the West is just as bad on all of those issues, and they have draconian laws against abortion, so really, we have no right to call them out, and we're morally unclean, and, you know, Qatar is on a level playing field with us. | ||
| Well, so this is a story, we pulled it up. | ||
| So people have the one love bracelets and symbols, and Cutter was like, no, you can't wear those things. | ||
| And people are all shocked and surprised they're not allowed to do it. | ||
| It's the craziest thing to me. | ||
| They can't even drink. | ||
| Yeah, they banned alcohol, which was more of a controversy, which is great. | ||
| They shouldn't be drinking alcohol. | ||
| It's horrible for you. | ||
| It's horrible for your brain. | ||
| It shrinks your brain. | ||
| But should they be banned from drinking? | ||
| Well, this is their religion. | ||
| This is their culture, right? | ||
| And if we want to be, you know, respectful of them, this is how they do it. | ||
| So this is the fine line that a lot of people are playing in. | ||
| But that's more of a controversy than the migrant slave workers that were dying building the stadiums. | ||
| That has nothing to do with religion. | ||
| Like, that's just the fact that they Well, it depends, because some religions are okay with slavery more than others. | ||
| You know, there's also particular scripts in... Referring to the Quran. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's particular scripts that are, you know, pushed for and advocated for certain things. | |
| They even recited a passage from the Quran in the opening ceremony, along with, like, Morgan Freeman, and then this double amputee YouTuber, from Qatar and | ||
| The whole ceremony just seemed so satanic and globalist and creepy it like sent chills down my spine | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was so disgusted Morgan Freeman. How much did they pay him to do it? I mean he was lip-syncing it so badly | |
| Speak Arabic or something No, no, no. | ||
| They, like, he had this monologue that was playing around the stadium, but he wasn't saying it live. | ||
| He was lip-syncing to it, and it was really badly done. | ||
| And it was just, like, the whole thing was a mix of cringy and evil seeming. | ||
| I just, I'm saying, like, the alcohol thing. | ||
| I think people should be allowed to drink alcohol. | ||
| I think, uh, you know. | ||
| I think there was some special process you had to go through. | ||
| Like, you had to apply to be able to drink at the stadium. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, well, you can still drink at bars outside the stadium, you just can't drink on the actual process. | |
| Right, right, but my point is just this is like kind of waking people up to like, hey, wait a minute, what's going on with this country? | ||
| Yeah, there are women who have been raped and then imprisoned for being raped. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Like, that's crazy. | ||
| But because we overturned Roe v. Wade, we're being called out as having draconian laws against women's rights. | ||
| It's not even the same playing field. | ||
| It's completely different. | ||
| You should see what Saudi Arabia is doing to the Shiites, especially with all that public hangings that they've been doing. | ||
| And if you look up public hangings in Saudi Arabia right now, you're going to see that there's an influx of this, especially right now, which is absolutely crazy. | ||
| But this is one of our biggest allies that we're funneling all these weapons and arms to and having a coalition that's bombing Yemen right now, working with, of course, al-Qaeda rebels, which a lot of people want to ignore. | ||
| But even the Associated Press admitted the United States coalition is on the side of al-Qaeda. | ||
| And they do little PR ops where, of course, the U.S. | ||
| troops and the Saudi Arabian troops come in and then they literally call al-Qaeda and be like, hey, guys, leave. | ||
| And then al-Qaeda comes back in and conquers the territory. | ||
| Did you guys see the, uh, I think it was Babylon Bee article? | ||
| Taliban quits Twitter in protest of Trump being reinstated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was good. | |
| Those guys are funny. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, when you take a look at some of these countries, there was, uh, it's, it's surprising to me. | ||
| I was going back to what I was saying about, uh, Qatar. | ||
| There was a story. | ||
| It might've been Dubai. | ||
| Is Dubai, where's Dubai? | ||
| In the Emirates? | ||
| A lot of these countries have similar rules, similar laws. | ||
| There was a woman who was on a work trip with a male colleague, and they hooked up in a | ||
| room, and they were like, oh, you're under arrest. Like, that's illegal, you're cohabitating. | ||
| There was another story where a woman was on a work trip, and like some guy went to | ||
| her room and raped her. | ||
| So she called the police, and they said, okay, you're under arrest for, you know, sex outside | ||
| And she was like, what? | ||
| And then she goes to prison. | ||
| Like, it's shocking to me how there are American people and European individuals who go to these countries seemingly believing that they have the same values as the West, and they don't. | ||
| They don't believe that. | ||
| They will put you in jail. | ||
| They rely on Western self-hatred to avoid responsibility for this. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| With the World Cup, Westerners can't call out human rights violations in this country because Westerners are supposed to hate themselves for their own so-called human rights violations. | ||
| And truly, like, The overturning of Roe v. Wade is not even close to the laws you're talking about. | ||
| In fact, our biggest human rights violation, in my opinion, is the fact that we have abortion in this country at all. | ||
| We kill babies. | ||
| John, where do you draw the line when it comes to either respecting the culture or pushing them to change and calling them out for being wrong? | ||
| How do you navigate this crazy minefield? | ||
| That is a very good question. | ||
| I notice a very disturbing tendency for this blind American patriotism, George W. Bush style, waving the flag, which I love. | ||
| I'm a patriot. | ||
| But I see this very sad phenomenon now where you've got middle-aged dads, for example, and they're coming home and they're watching the news, they're in their recliner, and they're hearing a story about how women are being raped in the Middle East or these terrible things are happening. | ||
| And then their son comes in and they're like, OK, Dad, we have to go to the pharmacy to pick up my hormones. | ||
| Be right there, son. | ||
| They're like, those Muslims are real savages. | ||
| How barbaric are they? | ||
| And it's like, look, rape, murder, abuses of women. | ||
| This stuff is as old as human history. | ||
| What is new and what is especially evil is what's going on in this country, which is now you are taking children and you are exploiting them to very evil things. | ||
| You are doing the most evil thing that could be done to them, which I'm sure we'll get into in the after segment. | ||
| And that is new. | ||
| Nowhere else in the world is that happening except the West. | ||
| And when the West goes and invades other countries, maybe for financial reasons, maybe for oil, | ||
| ultimately what they're trying to do is introduce things like feminism, | ||
| introduce things like gender ideology, or even like with our immigration policy, for example. | ||
| I don't want to live in the Middle East. I don't want to live in Russia. I don't | ||
| want to live anywhere like that. Terrible countries. | ||
| But at least those will still be given to their descendants, whereas it is the official policy of Western countries to bring in people from the third world, oftentimes from Muslim countries, to replace the native population of that country. | ||
| So, maybe their countries suck, but at least they'll be able to hand that down to their children, whereas the West can't say the same. | ||
| So, not only do we not have our heritage, we're being taught to hate that. | ||
| We don't even have our future because our kids aren't going to have the same country that we had. | ||
| And also, if the kids even are allowed to be children, they're not going to be the gender that they were supposed to be. | ||
| You know what I think? | ||
| I think a big component of this is that the right has a longer memory than the left, or the left is just outright lying, which is probably the case. | ||
| This happened to Tucker Carlson. | ||
| He was talking about this idea that Democrats are bringing in immigrants. | ||
| To, you know, I guess, expand the population, as it were. | ||
| Chuck Schumer literally said this, like, recently, he said, Americans don't have enough kids. | ||
| So we need, I think it was Schumer said this, right? | ||
| He was like, we got to bring in more immigrants. | ||
| And it's like, okay, you know, or we as a country can be like, hey, maybe people should have kids too. | ||
| Like, I'm down for immigration done legally and through a normal legal process. | ||
| And then if we're concerned about population expansion, how about instead of saying abort your kids and sterilize them, you say, okay, maybe some people should have kids. | ||
| We can have immigrants too. | ||
| What's wrong with this? | ||
| Tucker mentions this, that Democrats have explicitly stated they want to bring in immigrants because they vote. | ||
| They vote Democrat. | ||
| When immigrants get naturalized and become citizens, they typically vote Democrat. | ||
| And when they get added to the census as legal residents, or I guess even non-legal residents, that counts towards the census and gives congressional power and presidential electoral power to these states. | ||
| Tucker Carlson says this, that all of a sudden the media forgets that they were advocating for this very thing, that Schumer advocated for this very thing, and accused him of being a white supremacist conspiracy theorist. | ||
| Yeah, and that's the problem, is like, you know, you can, you will have the types who want to make it like this explicitly racial issue, and there is a component to it that is that, but really what it boils down to is like, the people who have the deepest incentive in preserving this country, conserving this country, are conservatives. | ||
| And also people who are white, because this country was virtually like 90% white up until 1965 when they restructured the Immigration Act. | ||
| So if you look at all the people who are going to want to keep things the same, yeah, Yeah, they're going to be by majority white people. | ||
| That doesn't mean that there can't be other groups of people who can't want to conserve the country, keep it the same. | ||
| But they do have an explicit incentive to import people who are not white from these third world countries because they're not going to really care about things changing. | ||
| And oftentimes they fail to assimilate even where they'll come and they still want to wave the Mexican flag or the flag of wherever they come from. | ||
| And it's like they like America insofar as it presents economic opportunities to them or insofar as it presents other types of opportunities but they don't really value it as like a home or something and we're so desperate for people to love this country because we're so used to people shitting on it that then they want to have people oh well they're waving the flag so they're just like us we can sing sweet caroline at the baseball game and get drunk they're just as american as we are and it's like it's not that simple | ||
| Yeah, I think this is their path towards world domination. | ||
| Joe Biden recently announced climate reparations. | ||
| Did you guys see this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| A billion? | ||
| Was it a billion dollars? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| And a lot of people on the right missed the point. | ||
| They come out and they say, this climate change stuff is bunk and they, you know, oh, and Joe Biden's giving away our money. | ||
| You know why he did it? | ||
| The concern right now is that the BRICS nations are expanding. | ||
| The World Economic Forum has said BRICS Plus is the future. | ||
| People like Joe Biden want the petrodollar to remain the future. | ||
| How do you maintain the petrodollar? | ||
| You give the money to people, and tell them, you say, I'm gonna give you money. | ||
| Then guess what happens? | ||
| These people say, I have this money, it's valuable. | ||
| You give it to other countries, you give it to Pakistan for gender studies. | ||
| Then Bricks says, hey, use the ruble or the one. | ||
| And they go, no, no, no, no, I have all these dollars, they're valuable. | ||
| By giving out this money, The U.S. | ||
| is trying to force other countries to use the dollar and retain it and maintain confidence in it. | ||
| That's the real incentive. | ||
| Because if it ever comes to the point where the petrodollar ceases to exist, or it is no longer the reserve currency, Americans are in for a very rude awakening about the manufacturing base in this country and the things that they don't get from here. | ||
| So your computers are gone, your clothes are gone, your shoes are gone, your cars are gone, good luck. | ||
| Yeah, that's interesting because, like, say what you will about China, but they understand that with economies, production equals prosperity. | ||
| And this country's economy is based on, like, a bunch of really weird things. | ||
| We've got, like, this debt-based money system, fiat currency, usury, you know, these weird, like, IT jobs and middle managers but like we don't actually make anything in this country how we used to and with the pandemic and everything that really showed where our weaknesses are and until we start to bring back some of that manufacturing capacity we're just basically like riding a wave that's eventually going to crash. | ||
| Well this happened and I don't think there's there's any way we could go back to what you have been describing ever since of course Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger went to China and opened up China to the world aka made a deal with them saying hey We're just going to take all the factory jobs, give you them for cheap slave labor goods, and we're just going to keep printing more money here. | ||
| The larger question is, how much more money could we be printing here? | ||
| And there's also going to be a lot of significant economic problems, not just with all this crazy money printing, but more importantly, what's happening right now in China with their zero sickness policy is absolutely insane and will have a very detrimental effect on the American uh public mainly because they're not going to be producing they're not working they're locking millions and millions of people down into their own buildings without any food even in many instances where people are dying and killing themselves because they're so sick of the lockdowns which are being patrolled by drones | ||
| That are literally flying overhead when I'm surveilling them and watching every single one of their moves as they have to live on a QR code system. | ||
| And now China also is stockpiling a lot of gold. | ||
| They're also decoupling a lot from the US dollar. | ||
| So they're making a lot of very significant moves away from the US consumerist system that is dependent on their slave labor. | ||
| And I don't think they actually, you know, understand the larger consequences of it because they're prioritizing a zero sickness policy, which is absolutely nonsensical. | ||
| I think it was one person that died in China because of this sickness. | ||
| Well, zero COVID. | ||
| Yeah, well, you know. | ||
| We say sickness because, again, you get the drift of what I'm saying here. | ||
| Did you see the video of, I think there was like a theme park, and then all of a sudden the police announced there was a COVID case? | ||
| Disney World in China, people were locked in there unless they had a QR code that approved it. | ||
| Yeah, they were stuck in Disneyland in China. | ||
| So, this shows you the level of just control freak insanity that these people are willing to go through. | ||
| Again, Bill Gates compliments this. | ||
| He says, China's doing an amazing job. | ||
| Bill Gates is advising the Chinese government here. | ||
| So, to me, what's happening in China is a larger beta test to what they want to roll out globally against everyone, and that is total control, and that's what we saw from the G20. | ||
| That's what we saw from COP 27. | ||
| All plans to Create a system, a social credit system, a central bank digital currency system, a system where of course you get followed around by drones and need a QR code of compliance just to exist in society, and I refuse to live in that kind of society. | ||
| I think that's probably true. | ||
| We sort of had the same thing in America already, maybe to a lesser extent, but like we have something of a social credit system where if you say the wrong thing now, like Kanye said, I can't use my Apple Pay anymore, or even with Like the digital currency. | ||
| I mean, when's the last time anyone here has bought something with cash? | ||
| It's been a while. | ||
| Kanye can't use Apple Pay? | ||
| Yeah, he made a video saying specifically he's running for President of the United States specifically because Adidas contacted Apple and Apple shut down his ability to pay for things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which he said was insane and they're punishing the... Do you remember exactly what he said in that video? | ||
| I don't want to paraphrase it, but he went on a rant saying, this is why I want to run for President of the United States, because if they could do this to me, what are they doing to everyone else? | ||
| This is the meme, though. | ||
| The meme where, like, the person goes to the supermarket, and then you have to use your phone to buy something, and it says, Your credit card has been disabled due to, you know, insensitive comments made online or something. | ||
| And so that's the thing. | ||
| It's like, in China, if we live there, yeah, they're draconian and you can't criticize the government, but if you criticize, you know, LGBT stuff, which doesn't exist there because they ban it, it's like, you'll be at a greater liberty to do things like that. | ||
| And so this is sort of the problem that America had. | ||
| We made a calculation where, okay, if we open up the markets with China in the latter half of the 20th century, Their economic prosperity is going to make them more liberalized because everything's going to be fine. | ||
| Our companies are going to go over there. | ||
| And then it backfired where now you're empowering this country that is hyper-nationalist, frankly racist, ethno-nationalist, and very traditionalist. | ||
| And now they're going to try to compete, like you said, with the U.S. | ||
| on the world stage. | ||
| And they're like totally resistant to all the woke stuff that the U.S. | ||
| wants to do. | ||
| They made another calculation where they said, okay, social media is becoming very popular. | ||
| We're going to censor American social media platforms. | ||
| We're going to build our own. | ||
| Conservatives called that, you know, Orwellian, but now you don't have kids in China talking about switching their genders, doing things like that, because that's frankly, that's like how the US has soft power in other countries. | ||
| We have our media companies going and incepting these ideas into people's minds, and China said, no, we don't want that. | ||
| They're doing the same thing to us, though. | ||
| Where if you have TikTok in China, you're seeing videos of people that are, you know, playing piano, that are proficient in the maths and the sciences. | ||
| But if you download TikTok in America, you get a totally different algorithm. | ||
| You get very degenerate, depraved content because they're trying to take the youth, which is the future, that could maybe compete with them and just make it completely demoralized. | ||
| But now there's even Democrats saying they want to ban it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which I think is weird, kind of crazy, but maybe TikTok should have been banned. | ||
| There's a challenge to this. | ||
| Should TikTok be allowed to operate an algorithm that is sending detrimental content to kids, or should our government, for national security reasons, be like, dude, this is destroying us from the inside out and take it out and remove it? | ||
| I've had people, libertarians, tell me that I was being fascist or being authoritarian by arguing the app should be banned. | ||
| And I'm like, I get it. | ||
| But I've never been an anarchist or a hardcore libertarian. | ||
| I've always been kind of just a liberal. | ||
| Yeah, but these are not private companies. | ||
| We have to understand these are state-run institutions that are running larger psyopsis, that are running what some would people describe as fourth or fifth generational warfare. | ||
| Where specifically, it is used to not only demoralize, but to destroy human beings' attention span, destroys people's ability to coexist in society, destroy relationships, destroys families. | ||
| This is the larger consequences of a government-engineered action. | ||
| And therefore, I would argue, it's not a private company. | ||
| They don't deserve the protections of a private entity. | ||
| But if TikTok were banned in the U.S., wouldn't something worse just crop up that is made by Americans? | ||
| Like YouTube shorts? | ||
| Yes, YouTube Shorts is somehow lower IQ than TikTok and Instagram Reels. | ||
| Something worse will come up, created by Americans, and we don't need China's help becoming more demoralized. | ||
| We're doing this mostly to ourselves. | ||
| Most libertarians, they're very fine people, but they are usually either like teenagers or like these sort of disaffected Gen Xers who were angry at their dads for like catching them smoking weed in the garage or something. | ||
| It's just not serious, so yeah, I think it should be better. | ||
| Come on, come on, straw man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it? | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| We've had smart libertarians on the show. | ||
| It's not that they're not smart. | ||
| So here's a good example. | ||
| What's his name? | ||
| Austin Peterson. | ||
| Very smart guy, very nice guy. | ||
| Yeah, he's hilarious too. | ||
| I was a big fan of him back in 2016. | ||
| I had a debate with him on an Elijah Schafer show and we went back and forth on libertarianism. | ||
| And what I find with libertarians is ultimately, because we agree on what we want the ideal society to be, you know. | ||
| this constitutional republic, everything is laid back, freedom. But where libertarians tend to | ||
| disagree with people like myself is on what to do with the acquisition of power, how to go about | ||
| that, how to go about using it. And we got into this, like, ultimately meaningless back and forth | ||
| between, like, okay, how do you want to go about taking power and then asking power to delete | ||
| itself? Because the other side wants to take power and use it to, like, kill you. | ||
| So there's a great meme I saw. It was on Patriots.win, the Donald Forum, which I'm sure everybody knows. | ||
| Our good friends over at Patriots.win. | ||
| And it was this really crude paintbrush drawing where it said, Democrat vote, Republican vote, Libertarian vote. | ||
| And it was like Democrats 800,000, Republicans 799,999, Libertarian vote 2. | ||
| Democrats, 800,000. | ||
| Republicans, 799,999. | ||
| Libertarian vote, two. | ||
| And then it said, winner, no more guns. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it was just like, if the libertarians are just like, okay, I guess we have to accept that this preserves at least some of our rights than the Republican. | ||
| That being said, you know, I get it. | ||
| I remember hearing some conservatives say something similar to that, like libertarians need to recognize that voting Republican preserves more of their rights than not. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, but if the libertarians hate you, don't expect them to vote for you. | ||
| Figure out how you get their vote. | ||
| So you agree on these core issues, ask them what they don't agree with you on. | ||
| Typically you'll find out it's like war or something. | ||
| So I think the real opportunity right now is Donald Trump opposed all of that. | ||
| Not perfectly, I know Luke. | ||
| But if we can get more America First types who are like, hey, we don't want foreign intervention in foreign war, you'll see more Libertarians back. | ||
| Okay, that I'll take. | ||
| The Libertarian Party is an absolute joke. | ||
| I absolutely agree with that. | ||
| They're candidates or just non-professional people that made themselves look bad and made everyone else look bad. | ||
| But if you're looking at a problem and saying hey there's a lot of government here we're going to solve it with more government that to me is just an idiotic take that doesn't really make sense to me as of course you're replacing a cancer with more cancer when in reality I think the biggest basis of a kind of anarchist perspective which again counters even the libertarian perspective is that the solution should be within personal responsibility. | ||
| Within the individual being the best version of themselves to, of course, beat out all the bull crap out there and not stand and not be a victim and not be someone that needs government and not incentivize more of it in your life. | ||
| And I think that's kind of the problem with the libertarian ethos. | ||
| It sort of assumes the perfectibility of the individual. | ||
| It gives them almost this opportunity to like, hey, you can exist and you can be trusted with freedom. | ||
| And that may have been the case in, you know, the 1700s. | ||
| But now this society, I mean, the founding father said that our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people. | ||
| would be wholly inadequate for any other group of people. | ||
| Now the average American in this country is like this overweight, porn addicted, like | ||
| drug user and we expect this guy to be trusted with freedom. | ||
| That was brutal. | ||
| And it's just, it's true. | ||
| And so you're seeing this hell happen and the libertarians think that like any power, | ||
| any state power is bad. | ||
| I would offer the distinction that we like to use with like gun rights, for example. | ||
| What's the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun? | ||
| A good guy with a gun. | ||
| You can vote libertarian. | ||
| You can say, hey, you should delete the power you have and they're just gonna be like, okay, | ||
| That's why no libertarian, unless they want to call for a revolution, which they really like to do, they like to fantasize about these, you know, big mass conflict scenarios, they never get banned from social media, because what they're saying is fundamentally not threatening, because they're just saying, hey, state, go away! | ||
| And then you've got people like Trump, people who are more authentically right-wing, saying, actually, I want to infiltrate the state, kick out the communists, make it illegal for them to occupy power, and then make the country great again. | ||
| That's threatening, and that's why those people, myself included, get banned. | ||
| Maybe we need Iron Fist Libertarianism. | ||
| I disagree with any form of totalitarianism in any form of top-down centralization of power. | ||
| I didn't say that. | ||
| I didn't say that. | ||
| I said Iron Fist Libertarianism. | ||
| Meaning? | ||
| Where you gotta lube it up or something? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I'm kidding! | ||
| Calm down! | ||
| Look, you're freaking out before I even explained what I mean. | ||
| I mean a libertarian party that respects the rights of the individual, that enshrines the rights of the individual, guarantees them within the confines of the law, and recognizes they have to be threatening to those that would seek to destroy and steal the power from the people. | ||
| The point I'm trying to make is, The founding fathers, I think, were that. | ||
| They were like, the individual is, you know, the smallest minority, and people have these rights, and here's the Bill of Rights, and we're going to war with Britain to secure them. | ||
| Now the Libertarian Party is like, guys, guys, guys, you know, hold on there a minute, we shouldn't do that because that goes against our values, and it's like, okay. | ||
| The libertarians that oppose borders, I think, are silly. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Like, I understand what you mean when you're like, borders are imaginary lines. | ||
| I didn't argue with this libertarian. | ||
| He's like, you think that imaginary line exists? | ||
| And I'm like, no, I think we've asserted, we guarantee and protect our rights, and this is as far as we can protect and are willing to enforce upon the land. | ||
| We have defined the space as what we guard, what is ours, and within it, we respect the rights, the human rights and the constitutional rights of the people here. | ||
| Look, how do you, you know, I just refuse to lick the boot. | ||
| That's just me, my own personal perspective. | ||
| You make some very good, valid points, and I agree with you with some of them, but at the end of the day, how do we deal with this kind of fat, porn-addicted loser that, of course, is destroying themselves? | ||
| To me, personally, you know, people would argue like, hey, you know, these people who are victims of this, who are going for the short-term pleasures, are going to kind of uh ruin themselves not have families not reproduce this gives opportunities for people to of course be the best versions of ourselves but how do you and and and i think you know incentivizing healthy people families uh good diets exercise is something that should be done but how do you do that on a state level without being an authoritarian without being like the chinese government yeah uh how do you do that where's the balance | ||
| So this is sort of the problem where the right in the last 60 years has inherited the worst parts of libertarianism without the good parts of it. | ||
| So, like, the reason we lose is because, you know, we are the graceful losers, the beautiful losers, we have principles, we're not gonna fight dirty, it's better to lose with dignity than to play their game. | ||
| And so now, we all have to eat food and use those calories and convert those into thoughts about how to argue against children being, like, I agree with you. | ||
| these surgeries performed. That is so unspeakable. Imagine telling that to someone 50 years ago, | ||
| like, yeah, you're actually going to have to, like, set aside time to think about arguments | ||
| as to why this shouldn't happen. That's what modern conservatism has brought to the American | ||
| people. We have failed to conserve everything up until, like, literally now your kids are | ||
| going to be taken from you if you disagree with that. | ||
| I agree with you. I want to expand on that. It's absolute individualism with no responsibility. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It is police officers running away from school shootings. | ||
| It is the Uvalde cop saying, I'm not going in there. | ||
| It's the security guard in Parkland being like, I'm going to run the other direction. | ||
| I was talking about this on one of my segments earlier because I had a t-shirt. | ||
| It's the rooster that says, stand your ground. | ||
| And it's our rooster, Roberto Jr. | ||
| He's a cartoon. | ||
| He's like, ah! | ||
| And what I said was, I thought it was funny. | ||
| I think roosters are cool. | ||
| And it's kind of interesting to me that Chicken, historically for us in our colloquial English, is a reference to someone being a coward, despite the fact that roosters will sacrifice their lives to save their hens. | ||
| We used to look at what chickens were, even a rooster running full speed towards a fox and dying, like... | ||
| as cowardly. Like, that's kind of strange to me how something like that emerged. And then today, | ||
| we don't even have police officers who are willing to risk their lives to save children | ||
| as it's happening in front of them. I'm like, okay, we're at the point where our politicians, | ||
| where our law enforcement are just like, I'm not going in there. | ||
| I'm not risking my neck for you! | ||
| And that means society is broken. | ||
| Because, yeah, everybody is so atomized and so selfish, and so this is sort of the problem with it. | ||
| Like, all of the things that are from the top down, because we sort of live in this, like, ideological cumulative tyranny, where it's not as obvious as the tyranny that we were taught by Hollywood to fear, where it's one party that controls everything. | ||
| All of these corporations, all of these institutions, NGOs, media, academia, Government, they're all on the same page, even if they're not all under the same flag. | ||
| But they are, and it's usually the pride flag. | ||
| But they still all are on the same page, and they're believing these things. | ||
| And so they, from the top down, are demoralizing the American people by pushing into their eyes that virtually, you know, anything you go, whether it's advertisements, social media, all of this, like, depraved content. | ||
| And that's where you get the escapism, where people don't feel like they have any righteous future prospects. | ||
| They think it's going to be harder for them to find a moral spouse, harder for them to start a family, to get a good job without amassing tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. | ||
| And so that's the escapism, whereas like a man 50, 60 years ago would be like, ah, factory town, I'm going to do what my dad did. | ||
| He would kind of have an idea. | ||
| Now men are like, I don't know, I'm just going to like smoke weed and play video games and do whatever. | ||
| And that's all just different forms of escapism. | ||
| And so I don't think the answer to that problem is simply like smaller government, things like that. | ||
| You have to actually use some form of power in this country to cut off the capacity of evil people To do that to your native population, and that's the only way that you're ever going to be able to have a people with a clear mind who can then pursue liberty, which is defined in the pre-modern understanding as just the ability to pursue good without evil trying to basically, like, get in your way. | ||
| I want to read a super chat real quick, just because it's a very good one. | ||
| It's from Phuke. | ||
| You. | ||

| First of all, Luke's a person of color, I'm mixed race, Serge is African American, and Mary's a ghost. | ||
| There you go. | ||

|
I'm not even human. | |
| She's not even here. | ||
| Imagine inviting that person to the Constitutional Convention. | ||
| All these white men. | ||
| So just really quick, how do you deal with, you know, porn, obesity? | ||
| How do you deal with that on a state level? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| You're in the government right now. | ||
| You're the president. | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| I would say, and I have a whole dissertation, it's called, on this, by the way, on my channel. | ||
| We go through all the scientific research for two hours, if you don't believe me. | ||
| Porn is literally like a weapon. | ||
| It's a drug and it's destroying your brain. | ||
| It's been used in Israel as a particular form of weaponry. | ||
| And even in, like, World War II, for example, it's demoralizing. | ||
| They would drop propaganda of soldiers being ravaged by the enemy force because it demoralizes you, you know. | ||
| Even from an amoral perspective, ignoring the religious aspect of it, you're watching some other guy You know, have sex with a chick. | ||
| Presumably that's what you would like to be doing, and it does actually take a toll on you mentally. | ||
| It hijacks your brain's reward circuitry, it makes you depressed. | ||
| So if you're a young man and you're watching, and for whatever reason you feel depressed, you feel like you don't have a lot of energy, it's tough for you to sleep, you can't make eye contact, you're socially anxious, there's literally scientific evidence proving that that could be because of porn. | ||
| Don't believe me? | ||
| Watch the video. | ||
| And short-term pleasures as well, which people are more open to, and it also just destroys and fries your dopamine sectors in your brain. | ||
| And I agree, that's the problem. | ||
| Like, obesity. | ||
| It's a big problem. | ||
| How do you, like, I understand. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| How do you deal with this problem as, like, a statist? | ||
| A statist? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wouldn't say I'm a statist, but from, like, a state level, you know, you could— Wanting a state doesn't mean you're a statist, Luke. | |
| You could easily pass your statist too. | ||
| You can easily pass legislation just simply regulating it the same way that we regulate CP. | ||
| You know, like, okay, if you're going to watch this, maybe you're 18 years old, fine, but we're going to make it so minors can't access it because the average age that children are being exposed to it when their brains are the most plastic and malleable is like 9 years old. | ||
| And that's assuming a normal distribution, which means 50% are even younger than 9 years old, and the effects of that are very bad. | ||
| I mean, now it's even tough for them to do studies on people's brains because they can't find a control group who hasn't been exposed to pornography because it's so pervasive. | ||
| Um, and so I think you could easily regulate it like that, and people want to say, oh, well, I don't want to have to put in my driver's license to, like, watch porn. | ||
| It's like, dude, nine-year-old, you know, like, who cares? | ||
| If you want to, like, jerk off to something depraved, like, fine, but, like, we're trying to protect kids here. | ||
| And there is something to be said about establishing barriers. | ||
| Like, you used to have to go to the VHS store, things like that. | ||
| Making it more difficult for people to do things that are bad is good. | ||
| Or even with the food. | ||
| You go to Europe, you lose ten pounds. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| They don't put crap in their food like we do, and we've tried so hard to find the villain, whether it's fats, carbohydrates, red meat. | ||
| The villain is that you're eating chemicals that your body doesn't know how to digest. | ||
| Yeah, it's predominantly because of Bill Gates and Monsanto buying up the lobbyist industry and going after the regulators and putting their people in charge that allows them to do all this crazy stuff. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But, you know, this is the problem because, you know, it does need to be dealt with, and I think these are quantifiable problems that do need to be addressed. | ||
| We hear this a lot, and it's come up quite a bit, that there are people we know, friends of people who work here who say that when they're outside the U.S., they eat this diet, they eat their normal diet, and they're thin. | ||
| They come to the U.S. | ||
| and they eat the same food, and they gain 30 pounds instantly. | ||
| And then we were like, oh, maybe you don't realize the portions are bigger. | ||
| Maybe you started drinking. | ||
| And the response I hear all the time is like, no, I eat the same thing. | ||
| And then we've even had one person be like, when I went back home for six months, the weight vanished. | ||
| Like, dude, I'm eating the same thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And people are adamant about it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| People also just lack a lot of willpower these days and then blame it on, oh, the ingredients. | ||
| Like, I know that there are toxic ingredients in food, but also, like, just shut your mouth and stop eating. | ||
| No, no, the ingredients are banned in Europe. | ||
| You can't have the same ingredients you have here in the United States. | ||
| I understand that they have stricter regulations and I want us to have stricter regulations on it, but also, like, just have some more willpower. | ||
| Well, here's the thing. | ||
| I think As an American, you should be able to just, like, be lazy and go to a McDonald's and get a burger without having to worry about it, like, poisoning you and making you, like, effeminate. | ||
| I think you should be able to do that. | ||
| But you can't do that now in this country because nobody has the balls to take on... In moderation, you absolutely can do that. | ||
| But people are stupid. | ||
| No one's ever going to be... Like, I mean, look at the average weight of, like, a man in this country. | ||
| I would love if people could do that, but they just won't. | ||
| And it's going up dramatically. | ||
| So here's the issue, though. | ||
| If people are not Apt enough, savvy enough, knowledgeable enough to avoid eating that garbage, is it the responsibility of the government to ban them from eating it? | ||
| I believe so, absolutely. | ||
| I mean, what is the government's job if not to look out for the people? | ||
| That's Mike Bloomberg's position. | ||
| Yes, with the soda, right? | ||
| And I'm not inherently saying you're wrong, I'm just letting you know, like, Bloomberg, right, he wanted to ban sodas, sugary drinks, and he even went as far as to say, tax the poor because they buy things that are bad for them, so we should take more of their money away and then spend it on things that are good for them. | ||
| Yeah, that I don't think I'd want to tax it, but I think there are ways to cut subsidies to things that are bad and redirect them towards things that are good. | ||
| You know, the American diet in the 1950s, now we would scoff at, like, oh, all this red meat and everything. | ||
| They were significantly healthier than we are now. | ||
| I mean, we are eating literal poisons and endocrine disruptors and cancers, and we wonder why everybody's so depressed. | ||
| The two things that your brain is the most wired to pursue, food and sex, have been hijacked such that now, like we said, the average American is an overweight, like, hypersexual, porn-addicted slob. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| With no impulse control. | ||
| I went to a restaurant. | ||
| And for dessert, they had a bread pudding. | ||
| And I was like, oh, that sounds good. | ||
| Like, you guys have had bread pudding before, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was basically, they brought it out. | ||
| It was one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten in my life, mind you. | ||
| And it was this small, it was very small. | ||
| But it was six Krispy Kreme doughnuts compressed into a small cake and then covered with like with like sweetened condensed milk and like a cherry and then I was like I tried it I was like this tastes like Krispy Kreme I was like wait a minute you could see that it was like they took a half dozen doughnuts It's gotta be like 1,200 calories in this thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's wild. | |
| That's insane! | ||
| That was like a regular dessert for one person. | ||
| It was delicious, mind you. | ||
| If I could summarize your argument, correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| You're saying human beings are imperfect, they can't rule their own lives, so we need government to rule the lives for them. | ||
| But isn't the government made up of those same imperfect individuals with the same weaknesses? | ||
| My argument is not that people can't be trusted with liberty, people can't be trusted with freedom. | ||
| I'm saying that this stock of people that we've assembled because we have failed to prevent evil forces from instituting evil things is now at a state where, I'm not saying they can't be trusted with freedom, I think people are able to feed themselves. | ||
| I just think that we should, and we do have an obligation to, cut off the ability of people to be able to destroy themselves as easily. | ||
| You know, cigarettes, that's fine, but with food, with pornography, things like that, it's like, yeah, I think that the government should step in and just make food real again, make sex real again, make people have relationships again. | ||
| It is possible to at least redirect the trends. | ||
| I agree with you on the problems, but the government, I would argue, created a lot of those problems, incentivized a lot of those problems, allows a lot of those problems, and this is why I don't think the state is going to solve those problems, and I think it should be on an individual level. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're talking about a state led by John Doyle, though. | |
| I think you're both right. | ||
| Luke, you've recognized that we have a government that is doing bad things. | ||
| That doesn't mean we just say instantly that all social pact or social contract is impossible. | ||
| The issue is that corruption takes hold and something has to be done about it. | ||
| So I view it like this. | ||
| Uh, what you're saying is deeply nuanced, John. | ||
| You're talking about poisoned food and all these really corrupt things. | ||
| They're hard to see. | ||
| But at the root, there's something simple. | ||
| Let's say you have a small village of a hundred people. | ||
| The, the, the anti-statist absolutist, and this is, I'm not, I'm not trying to make a straw man, but if you are absolutely anarchic and like, no, no, there should be no authority, no state, governments are bad and they always cause problems. | ||
| A barbarian horde comes in and they destroy everything. | ||
| There's no social understanding, there's no pact. | ||
| Or, a fire burns down a house and people say, screw you, I'm not going to help you. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| The earliest form of government isn't inherently a bad thing. | ||
| It's the centralization of authority and the corruption of government that's a bad thing. | ||
| If you have a small village of 100 people and there's a social understanding between all of them as to how things are run, what is okay and what isn't, you've got the basics of governance, your community. | ||
| The problem is we have no community left in this country. | ||
| It's been totally shattered. | ||
| And thus, what we're seeing now with the Democrats and the Republicans, they're calling it the | ||
| basement strategy. | ||
| Katie Hobbs didn't campaign. | ||
| They just said, get as many votes as possible. | ||
| It doesn't matter what you say to these people. | ||
| No longer are elections based on the social contract. | ||
| They're based on playing to the rules to the best of the ability of the player. | ||
| Republicans didn't understand this in the midterms, still managed to get the House. | ||
| Now they're starting to realize that, hey, you don't need to campaign at all! | ||
| Just get enough people to collect as many votes as possible in whatever the legal mean is, door-to-door, as certified caregivers, and get people to vote for you. | ||
| That's all that matters. | ||
| That's not a tenable government. | ||
| That's not going to work. | ||
| There's also something to be said about the political incentive that we have, because so much of what the left does, like we hit on earlier, is just create and manufacture the victim narratives, and everybody's a victim, everyone's in despair. | ||
| And if you look at, like, what unites these people, it's much less ideology and much more just this shared misery and hatred against those who they cast as, like, their dad or whoever was, like, mean to them in their life or something. | ||
| And when you have a person who is overweight, whose dopamine has been fried, they're depressed, That person is so much more likely to want to sympathize and resonate with those victim narratives because they tell themselves through their narcissism, like, I, because somebody, like, looked at me once in a Victoria's Secret because I'm overweight, I'm, like, just as oppressed as black people or something like that. | ||
| And when you have people who are overweight, especially young people who are so overweight now, Where's the revolution gonna be fought? | ||
| I mean, the young people are the future. | ||
| Testosterone, too, because of the endocrine disruptors in the food, is down 40% in the last 40 years. | ||
| When your testosterone goes down, you become more agreeable. | ||
| Your amygdala in your brain, these chemicals have been shown over time to shrink your amygdala, which is the part of your brain that is responsible for saying things like, no. | ||
| And, not coincidentally, the average person in this country has been far more agreeable to things that would be unthinkable to our grandparents' generation. | ||
| So, I believe that people can be trusted with liberty, but I also think that we should probably stop evil people from doing evil things. | ||
| And then if people want to overeat, that's fine, but they do have an incentive to make you fat and weak and depressed. | ||
| Let me ask you a question, Luke, right? | ||
| A serious question. | ||
| In, like, an anarchist city, or in a place like Shiran, how do they deal with someone who is coming in with a gun and robbing people? | ||
| Um, they have community networks of people who actually are security guards who are responsible for the mutual protection. | ||
| So coming in the city, you go through, you know, a checkpoint and you can't have any kind of political signs. | ||
| You can't have any kind of political ideology and they have a community watch. | ||
| uh... which protects them and uh... the crime has gone down absolutely | ||
| dramatically they haven't had a murder in many years now and when they deal with crime they deal it out with uh... | ||
| they deal with it in a sensible level where of course if someone is doing a crime | ||
| because of an addiction | ||
| they help that person deal with the addiction rather than of course just | ||
| punishing them and making them worse criminals. How do they deal with fraud? | ||
| uh... I'm not I don't have any examples of that particular uh... example at all | ||
| So the challenge is, it's really easy to be like, obviously taking someone's belongings is a bad thing, and we've developed civics around how to deal with these things. | ||
| Can you prove it? | ||
| Are there witnesses? | ||
| The standards vary from country to country, but typically if I take something from you, I am causing damage to you. | ||
| We understand that. | ||
| If I strike you and there are witnesses saying you instigated the fight, we understand that. | ||
| But what if you're doing something that's like scamming them out of their money? | ||
| Something like that's fraudulent in the United States. | ||
| Deception in order to steal their resources. | ||
| I'll ask my contacts in Tehran and come back to you with a particular answer on that. | ||
| The reason I ask is because some things are illegal that some people think shouldn't be illegal and some things are legal that should be illegal. | ||
| And how is that understood by the people of Tehran? | ||
| For instance, what if someone buys ten roosters and puts them in their house and they're screaming all day long? | ||
| Clearly people are going to be upset with that. | ||
| What if someone goes outside and gets an LRAD and just blasts the sound at the top? | ||
| Is it because they say, we've determined what you're doing to be unreasonable regardless of whether or not we've agreed you can't do it? | ||
| Obviously, blasting an LRAD device is damaging. | ||
| But hey, come on, I want roosters. | ||
| You can't tell me I can't have roosters. | ||
| They're my animals and I'm going to eat them and I need them. | ||
| I'm not arguing for outright authoritarianism, but I do think a basic, understood social contract where we understand each other is a valuable thing. | ||
| It's just simple. | ||
| One of the main principles of anarchists is don't take people's stuff, don't steal, and don't hurt other people. | ||
| And I think if we just live by those principles and we respect those principles, the world would be different. | ||
| And you know, when it comes to especially what's happening with modern males, I would argue that there is an agenda meant to demasculate people, meant to destroy people, meant to create a public that is never going to stand up against the tyranny of the state, meant to, of course, make them acquiesce with everything, like you said. | ||
| And it's not just testosterone levels. | ||
| It's also sperm levels. | ||
| It's also grip strength. | ||
| We are being biologically attacked, top-down, in almost every element of our life, that is destroying modern manhood to the point where women now have better grip strength and even more testosterone than most males. | ||
| No, that's not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why is it important for women to become more disagreeable? | |
| That's not true. | ||
| Luke, that is not true. | ||
| We've actually talked about grip strength on this show and pulled up studies showing the relative grip strength in specifically referring to the differences between males and females. | ||
| Males have stronger grip strength on average. | ||
| Absolutely, but now this kind of chart is changing, right? | ||
| So now... Yeah, males have stronger average grip strength, but the average grip strength of women is going up. | ||
| Yes, and so the same with their testosterone levels. | ||
| So why is that important? | ||
| Why would it be important for women to become more disagreeable and have more testosterone than they used to have, if that's part of a planned agenda? | ||
| What I'm describing here is the takeover of the state, because I think at the end of the day, the state is doing this because the state needs people to acquiesce with it, and the state has an agenda that is pushing this agenda to have more people that they could rule over, because again, the government, the state as a corporation, they want to make sure they have the most clients, Who's going to be the best client of the state? | ||
| The people who need it the most. | ||
| And this is why there's been an agenda to make the people need the state more and more than ever. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| I think that this state is hostile towards the people over whom it governs. | ||
| But I don't think it's because it is the state. | ||
| I think it's because it was infiltrated by communists, and communists are evil people. | ||
| Like that's what they want. | ||
| They want global communism. | ||
| They're very open about this. | ||
| It's conspiratorial when we say it, but then you read the forms in the, you know, the World Economic Forum, they're like completely open about it. | ||
| They brag about it. | ||
| They write dissertations and papers saying we need global control. | ||
| We need totalitarianism and the way that they walk over society is by weakening the modern | ||
| man. | ||
| This seems to get back to the point that we were talking about earlier with like, okay, | ||
| we have the state. | ||
| It sucks. | ||
| It's hostile towards us. | ||
| Well, now what do we do? | ||
| What are we supposed to are we supposed to just tell it it should delete itself? | ||
| Are we supposed to take power and then delete the state? | ||
| Like I don't think that anarchy has an actual answer to the problem because like you said, | ||
| if everyone just stopped stealing, everything would be fine. | ||
| So true. | ||
| Now try to tell that to like illegal aliens. | ||
| What are you going to hand him? | ||
| Like, you know, you can't just hand him copies of like Thomas Paine literature and be like, | ||
| Hey, you should really, you know, read some of this stuff. | ||
| They just aren't receptive. | ||
| Without the welfare state, we wouldn't have a lot of this immigration. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| So I think that's another argument that deserves to be made here, specifically when it comes to the state incentivizing a lot of this nonsense, incentivizing a lot of these divide-and-conquer agendas. | ||
| Again, no one has the perfect solution here, but at the end of the day, I think the more pragmatic thing is calling for decentralization of power, not centralization of power, giving people more opportunities to move away from this fifth-generational warfare that's affecting them. | ||
| Because the more you empower the state, the more you empower the agenda against yourself. | ||
| I think that's true. | ||
| I also think there is something to be said about taking over the state and, like, using it to benefit ourselves. | ||
| And, you know, we had a good system in this country. | ||
| It wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than the system we have now. | ||
| And I think if we allow that stock of people to retain power, things would be far better off for everybody. | ||
| I respect your opinion. | ||
| You make very good arguments, but I believe that's a pipe dream. | ||
| Well, all right. | ||
| I guess we'll see. | ||
| I think, you know, one thing I've learned over the past several years is that there is no end point. | ||
| I suppose I should say it's a developed idea. | ||
| I've learned more and more about it over a long period of time. | ||
| But, you know, I often say the ends don't justify the means because you never meet the ends. | ||
| Which is to say that you may come up with this document that says, like, here's the perfect government. | ||
| And on paper it makes sense. | ||
| You begin to implement it, and things improve. | ||
| A hundred years later, you live in a corrupt garbage country based on that document, and people are like, see, it didn't work. | ||
| And you're like, no, no, no. | ||
| It worked for as long as it did, and then humans are fallible creatures. | ||
| That's just it. | ||
| The assumption that humans can adhere to a perfectly rigid system is just not the case. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so this is sort of, I think, the crossroads we're at, where it's like, okay, either we keep telling people that small government is the answer, things like that, and then maybe one of these days we somehow manage to get the government to shrink or we decentralize the power, or we actually try to do what they did, the long march through the institutions, take back power, and then the argument is, well then, what's to stop them from doing it? | ||
| Okay, then we're back at square one. | ||
| We voted all our guys into office, and then they become communists, and then we're just back at square one. | ||
| I'm gonna back Luke with one simple solution. | ||
| I think you'll agree, in a sense. | ||
| Let me ask you this. | ||
| If everyone, every single person in this country was a conservative Christian, would you need police? | ||
| At a very small scale. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The issue really is, are we a cohesive culture? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Do we agree with each other? | ||
| Do we have the same values? | ||
| If you have a community that shares its values, you really don't have to leave your doors open. | ||
| Assuming your values are like, don't harm other people, don't steal from them. | ||
| The problem is we have no shared values, so people are turning to government for the solution, when the solution is actually cultural. | ||
| So I agree with you with a long march to the institutions. | ||
| We need our media apparatus mostly to basically speak to people and | ||
| tell them like, here are the things that we share. And I don't mean like a | ||
| top-down broadcast tower of like the five journalists. I mean, we need a dominant culture to | ||
| emerge, explain why what it does works, win the arguments, win the institutions, and then say like, | ||
| this is what we as a community are here for. And then I don't think you need to rely on powerful | ||
| governments or big governments. | ||
| And what's interesting about that, too, is, like, the biggest, I should say, the closest that we came to really living in that kind of post-racial society was probably after 9-11. | ||
| I mean, everybody was united under the American flag, maybe for the wrong reasons, so maybe something to talk about later. | ||
| No, we don't want to talk about that one. | ||
| You had things like, you know, the Chappelle Show, for example, and Dave's still relevant, where he was making fun of every group equally, pretty much. | ||
| You had things like WWE, everyone loved Eddie Guerrero, like John Cena put out a rap album, but you were allowed to... Sorry to interrupt, but I just want to address the one point before we move on from it. | ||
| There are a lot of Arabic people who are being discriminated against and feared because of terror. | ||
| Well, I should say post-racial in the sense of like... Sikhs as well. | ||
| America's always been pretty much a biracial country and then Hispanics started coming here after 65. | ||
| But yeah, there was a lot of anti-Arab discrimination. | ||
| But in terms of like, you know, the traditional American demographics, I guess I would say, we really did kind of have a period where it seemed like it wasn't going to be as problematic. | ||
| And then now they refuse to let us acknowledge those differences, which do exist because they believe that all people are fundamentally the same. | ||
| And so you can't joke about him, you can't acknowledge him, and if you do, you get cancelled. | ||
| I think also, just to continue this kind of larger conversation, I wasn't prepared for a debate, but when you made those pothead statements, those were shots fired. | ||
| You're like, hey man! | ||
| I don't smoke weed, I don't use weed, personally, myself. | ||
| But I do think one of the weaker elements of anarchy and libertarianism is when it comes to specifically children. | ||
| I do believe children deserve to be protected. | ||
| I do believe that there should be elements and institutions in charge that protect children from what's online, from other predators, from other people taking advantage of them, from other people trying to hurt them psychologically, physically, and mentally. | ||
| Who was the, was it Austin Peterson? | ||
| He was on the debate stage when someone said, legalize heroin for children, and he said no, and he's known as the guy saying no to legalizing heroin for children. | ||
| They booed him because he said he wouldn't do that. | ||
| Now again, I think there should be protections for children, obviously, because children aren't consenting adults, and I think there's a lot of predators out there that hurt children. | ||
| A lot of libertarians would call that into question, too. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And this is where I stand differently. | ||
| This is where I disagree with some of the larger ethos and the larger philosophies. | ||
| I just wanted to make that clear because we're talking about this and I think it's a fascinating conversation. | ||
| Breitbart, he said, politics is downstream from culture. | ||
| And I've thought about it over and over again. | ||
| And, you know, I've even mentioned this. | ||
| Communism works. | ||
| In very small scales. | ||
| And that's because a very small scale commune is a ideologically homogenous group of people that have all agreed on how they want to live and what they do. | ||
| And even then, there's still some challenges. | ||
| But you can't scale it up. | ||
| Because there's one famous commune, they have a hundred open slots. | ||
| If someone leaves, someone can apply to join. | ||
| And they let you come in. | ||
| Everything's shared. | ||
| But it's still controlled by a committee. | ||
| There's still people who are hierarchical in control of it and can choose to let you in or not. | ||
| The challenge is when you try scaling up something like communism, it utterly fails because ideology starts to become more and more disparate as you move away from the central hub. | ||
| So I'll explain it this way. | ||
| If you have a city, a cultural center that has, like Broadway for instance, People are sharing ideas. | ||
| They're producing similar culture and content. | ||
| You see an emergent phenomenon of different styles of art emerging, but it all swirls around certain ideas. | ||
| The further out you get away from that hub, the less people are a part of that culture. | ||
| Now you're hundreds of miles away, now you're thousands of miles away, and now they don't even speak the same language. | ||
| You can't have a single system where those people agree with each other. | ||
| We're seeing this in the US. | ||
| People in cities view the world one way, people outside of cities view it another way. | ||
| Somebody who's living in rural Nebraska is for some reason in an argument over gun control with someone who lives in the heart of New York City, where they're completely different worlds. | ||
| One guy walks outside and he sees mountains and nothing else, or fields of corn. | ||
| And he's like, who am I hurting by having an AR-15? | ||
| Then there's a guy who's in New York City, surrounded, shoulder to shoulder with tons of people everywhere, and he's like, if someone fired a gun, it would cause chaos and mayhem. | ||
| They're not even arguing the same world and they don't realize it. | ||
| So this is a huge component of the problem we're facing here in the US, particularly with cities versus rural areas. | ||
| That seems to be the big split component. | ||
| Long story short, my point is, If everybody had a shared ideology, there'd be no problems. | ||
| People would all just get along and agree, like, oh yeah, that's the thing, that's the way it's supposed to be. | ||
| Yeah, it's interesting you say that, too, because a lot of the communist intellectuals that they like to cite, like Peter Kropotkin, for example, if I recall correctly, when he was writing his treatises, he was talking about, like, communes of, like, a hundred people and, like, It's like, yeah, that could probably work, but when you scale to this level, even like with the USSR, a large reason that they collapsed was because of the different ethnicities that they had all under this one flag. | ||
| And I think it can go both ways. | ||
| I think politics can be downstream from culture, but I think culture can also be downstream from politics. | ||
| Like, for example, with the USSR, I mean, that was an Orthodox Christian country, and you had the Bolsheviks come in, and they forced in communism, and they killed the czar, and they implemented that to a population that didn't want it. | ||
| You mean Russia? | ||
| Was Christian, and then the Bolsheviks came in and turned it into the Soviet Union. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and then, or even like with gay marriage, for example. | ||
| California, arguably the most liberal state in the country, they shot that down in, I think, 2008, as a state. | ||
|

|
Right. | |
| Seven years later, Barack Obama, you know, takes credit for the Supreme Court legislating from the bench, saying this is now what we're doing. | ||
| And now, seven years later, you look at where we are now. | ||
| So there is this sort of assumption from the population, which I understand, that sort of the government or the laws of the society are generally going to reflect its morality or its sentiment. | ||
| And so when people saw the government doing that, you know, the White House lit up in the rainbow flag, I think it did kind of influence the culture. | ||
| Like, oh, this is what we're doing. | ||
| This is what normal people think. | ||
| And that sort of opened up the floodgates for everything that we're seeing now. | ||
| And this is exactly what honest leftists have criticized me for. | ||
| It's very fascinating. | ||
| Typically, they just lie. | ||
| And they'll lie about something because they're trying to convince people who aren't initiated into politics to join their side. | ||
| But I had someone, I love this, they said, the reason they hate me, said this on Facebook, was that I shatter consensus reality. | ||
| And I was like, well, thank you for being honest. | ||
| They want consensus reality. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| They don't care what's true. | ||
| They care about what is perceived as true so that everybody marches in lockstep. | ||
| We are deviants. | ||
| We are outside of that, and we are pulling people from it. | ||
| That threatens their structure. | ||
| They want superficial diversity, not diversity of thought, which is, again, something that is very dangerous and something that is regressive and is actually going to be hurting them in the long run, especially when it comes to building any kind of society. | ||
| But to add to your earlier point there, I do believe that the solution is going to be community-oriented. | ||
| People coming together, setting up homeschool pods, setting up protections, setting up community watches, being able to learn to defend themselves, being able to create farms and to share food and to share resources with people. | ||
| I believe that right there is going to be a lot better. | ||
| That right there is a true form of anarchy that I believe Could be practiced, should be practiced, and all it takes is you guys talking to your neighbors and doing the right thing and moving away from the state. | ||
| Because any kind of larger state that is based on forcing people to share an ideology is, to me, a very dangerous state. | ||
| It's tough. | ||
| I wish there were easier answers to all of this, you know? | ||
| We have so many people who say like, hey, we just want to live in peace. | ||
| We want to live in peace. | ||
| But it's funny because we do. | ||
| We really do. | ||
| But then you see that some ideologies just don't get along. | ||
| Like in the UK, in I can't remember the name of the area, there was a school doing LGBT curriculum and Muslims came out to protest it. | ||
| A member of the LGBT community comes out and says, we're doing this for you. | ||
| And they were like, how dare you? | ||
| How dare you claim that? | ||
| And it's interesting because I've even seen these paintings where it shows a woman in hijab, but it's a rainbow. | ||
| And I'm like, in the real world, they really, really are angry about this. | ||
| Like in Dearborn, Michigan, where they're going to this meeting saying, do not vote Democrat because they are attacking Muslim values. | ||
| These are religious conservatives, but for some reason there's an attempt by the left to act like they're part of the same community. | ||
| They don't get along. | ||
| I want everybody to live peacefully. | ||
| Tolerance does not mean acceptance. | ||
| It means, you know, you do your thing, I'll do mine. | ||
| Let's try not to infringe upon each other. | ||
| But then the problem emerges where, when these communities start butting up against each other, | ||
| and one community says, we find it abhorrent to do this behavior. | ||
| The other community says, if you repress X behavior, you are a bigot and a tyrant. | ||
| Well, now you've got a potential for conflict. | ||
| And there's no simple solution like the law. | ||
| It doesn't change how people feel about things. | ||
| So there's no simple solution. | ||
| If either people have shared values or agree to live under an umbrella of certain values, or you will start seeing conflict. | ||
| And what we have for the past 10 or 20 years, this push for multiculturalism, It's proposed as, here's the American umbrella of the Constitution. | ||
| Underneath it, different cultures can coexist peacefully. | ||
| What it's become is the umbrella of American culture has been destroyed and accused of being monstrous, and now you have different cultures all existing at the same level and targeting each other. | ||
| And that's just a recipe for disaster. | ||
| It's a religion of wokeness that is destroying the fabric of society. | ||
| Yeah, and so much of, you know, it's often very popular for conservatives to point out that the liberals were the ones who wanted free speech back in the day, but now they're the tyrants, and it's like, well, it's actually been pretty consistent insofar as they didn't have a seat at the table because this was a moral country, and then we gave them a seat at the table, and then they started promoting the worst things ever, kicking conservatives out of the institutions, and now they're like, okay, we're happy, we don't want to give you guys free speech. | ||
| So we saw what happened when you grant, you know, tolerance and things like that to people who are fundamentally, like, trying to destroy your whole country. | ||
| And now, like, it's not enough for us to just say, okay, we'll be tolerant, you know, private individual in the privacy of your own home, because we were tolerant. | ||
| And then you see when people are embodying identities that are fundamentally disordered, whether it's the body positivity movement or LGBT stuff, they still feel a sense of, like, Incongruence or guilt with what they're doing. | ||
| And so then they project that to society, where you have grotesquely obese people who are saying, the reason I feel bad about the way I look is because of society giving me dirty looks. | ||
| Or people who are maybe experiencing gender dysphoria will say, the reason I am unhappy is because of this. | ||
| People like Tim Pool are being so mean to me right now, but they don't care about what you think on virtually any other issue. | ||
| But the one that's most important, their whole identity, that's the one that all of a sudden they value your opinion so strongly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a cult. | |
| You know? | ||
| Funny thing happened to me today. | ||
| I got a phone call from some, like, leftist guy yelling at me. | ||
| And it was funny. | ||
| So what happened was I was ordering Starbucks. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm not a big fan of Starbucks, but somebody... I think you wanted Starbucks. | ||
| Is that what happened? | ||
| These are allegations. | ||
| Corporatist, woke, communist. | ||
| Not showing the cup on screen. | ||
| It's strategic. | ||
| The strategic cut placement. | ||
| You know, look, I'll say it. | ||
| I don't like them as a corporation, but they consistently do better. | ||
| And it bothers me that's the case. | ||
| But anyway, I digress. | ||
| I was ordering. | ||
| And so it was a big order because it was for the office, it was for everybody, and I get | ||
| a phone call. | ||
| And so I'm like, the only reason I never answer my phone ever. | ||
| But this time I was like, they're probably calling me saying like, yo, what are you, | ||
| you're nuts, you're ordering too much. | ||
| But it was actually some guy just yelling at me, and he was like, why are you saying these things? | ||
| And then I actually started talking to him, and I was like, the craziest thing was, you know, I don't approach these conversations, albeit this one was by accident, but I love a good conversation with anybody, I don't care who they are, especially someone on the left. | ||
| And very quickly I was like, the things you think I did aren't true. | ||
| The things someone told you I said are not what I actually said. | ||
| You made a mistake and I don't blame you for that. | ||
| Here's what I actually said. | ||
| And then the dude was like, okay, well, uh, uh, he still wanted to be mad at me because there's this cult element to it. | ||
| But I was like, my guy. | ||
| I want LGBT people to be safe, and to have their clubs, and to celebrate, and to drink, and be merry. | ||
| What I don't want is for child abusers to pretend that they're part of what is going on with people enjoying a drink in their own private adult lives. | ||
| to then use you as a shield, that's what I called out. And if anyone said otherwise, | ||
| then they're not really listening to what I'm saying, and we shouldn't be mad at each other, | ||
| we should figure out how to work together. It was an interesting conversation. Ultimately, | ||
| it ended with two simple words that everybody knows, and you have to drink if I say it. | ||
| Because the end result was, like, the dude's answer was basically like, no compromise. | ||
| And then I was like, Okay, well, like, if this is the case, then civil war is gonna happen. | ||
| And we and then he was like, Okay, and then he hung up. | ||
| And he was like, I'll tell everyone you said that I assume he was recording it. | ||
| But I'm like, Yeah, go for it, man. | ||
| Like, we want there to be no violence. | ||
| We want people just be like, Okay, like, you know, we solve this with like a game of soccer or something. | ||
| Unfortunately, If people view the world so differently as it's like we had this golden age for so long in this country. | ||
| I say for so long, but maybe for like 10 or 20 years, where we really didn't see the conflict | ||
| that the rest of the world sees, that we fail to realize how this stuff comes to fruition. | ||
| I remember watching this old show, I can't remember what it was, I was very little, | ||
| probably something in a religious class, where it was like a Christian being approached | ||
| by a different religious person, it was a cartoon or something, | ||
| and they said, renounce your God, and the man said, never, I won't do it, | ||
| and they said, then so be it, and they like started beating him or something, | ||
| and I thought that was crazy, and I was like, what? | ||
| Just say yes so that like they don't beat you and kill you and take you from your family and then let them leave and then you can go back to believing whatever you want. | ||
| And it's only now as an adult I realize why people actually feel the way they do about things like that and why they would never back down. | ||
| Because ideology is strong with people who have determined there's good people, there's evil people, there's those that seek to harm and be destructive, and they will never submit to it. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, now I get war. | ||
| Yeah, the midterms, fortification aside, are really great evidence of that. | ||
| People are very willing to accept a lower material standard of living if it means they get to think to themselves that people like us are seething and miserable and things like that. | ||
| They're willing to actually do that. | ||
| And any mainstream Democrat politician can come out and say, look, I'm not a socialist, look, I'm | ||
| not a communist, and they will still be in the club. | ||
| But none of them would dare say, look, I'm not in favor of all this transgender stuff, | ||
| I'm not in favor of all this worship of diversity, equity, and inclusion, I'm not in favor of all this mass | ||
| immigration. | ||
| They would get exiled for that. | ||
| So, in effect, that is actually what the Democrat Party, what leftism is. | ||
| It is the diversity, equity, and inclusion worship, it is the transgenderism, it is all of that other stuff, the mass migration, the open borders. | ||
| That is like what it is in effect, because you cannot be in that party and denounce things like that. | ||
| They will kick you out for that, and so this is the problem. | ||
| Like, if that is the hill that they're willing to die on, how are we supposed to reconcile that as people who more or less just want to be left alone? | ||
| There's a saying, they often say, the old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. | ||
| And I'm like, I agree with that. | ||
| You know, their view of it is it's a good thing that this new one world, you know, postmodern world is growing and developing. | ||
| And we view that as a bad thing. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| History will tell. | ||
| You know, it's written by the victors, and we'll see. | ||
| I think, based on what we've seen over the past couple of years, though, somebody posted a, there's a viral tweet, I'm sorry, I can't remember who posted it, but they were like, it's time to stop being blackpilled, we're winning, and they posted all of these things that happened in the past, like, two months that are tremendous victories for liberty, personal responsibility, meritocracy. | ||
| Elon Musk is a great example. | ||
| Five years after Carl Benjamin was banned, he's back! | ||
| It's crazy, I'm like, Carl is one of the first culture warriors in the culture war, and it's interesting, if back when he started making content calling out academia and intersectional feminism, immediately political leaders were like, we identify what he's saying and it's a problem, it would have stopped in its tracks and we'd be in a very, very different future ten years on. | ||
| Now, what are we seeing? | ||
| Five years after he's bent his back, Elon Musk's moves are all greatly beneficial to the causes of liberty and meritocracy. | ||
| And a bunch of other things, mind you. | ||
| It's not just those core principles or core ideologies or whatever, or whatever you want to call them. | ||
| It's a lot of victory happening. | ||
| So I think, looking at the way things are going now, especially with abortion, for instance, the end result is obvious. | ||
| One side is consistently saying, have kids, have kids, have kids. | ||
| The other side is saying, we reserve the right not to. | ||
| And I tweeted this. | ||
| I tweeted, Democrats are arguing for the right not to have children or grandchildren. | ||
| And it was funny because the left thought that I was saying they shouldn't have that right. | ||
| I'm like, no, that's what they're, I'm like, I'm explaining this. | ||
| This is what they want. | ||
| Why argue against them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Then don't have kids. | ||
| See ya! | ||
| In 20 years, our kids will inherit the Earth. | ||
| That's just the reality, and it's not meant to be disrespectful, it's just the truth. | ||
| Yeah, the history is actually completely on our side, because any time in the 20th century, for example, that these people got a little bit too out of hand, started being really radical, being communist... | ||
| There is always that sort of right-wing government that comes in and gets things more or less under control, and that's what they're afraid of. | ||
| And also, we are, like, normal people. | ||
| We are the stock of people that builds civilizations, that builds countries. | ||
| These people, these wannabe leftist revolutionaries, the Antifa larpers, these are people who are, like, fundamentally, like, in despair. | ||
| They can't even make eye contact with baristas when they order a coffee. | ||
| These people are not gonna, like, run the country. | ||
| They're not gonna run the government. | ||
| Even the people running it now are far less intelligent and far less competent than the people who ushered in this sort of totalitarianism We have now. | ||
| I've been thinking that, you know? | ||
| Like, uh, we had a, we had a, um, who said this the other day that since Epstein died, everything's been falling apart? | ||
| Darren Beatty. | ||
| Darren Beatty said that. | ||
| That's a funny point. | ||
| I'm like, that is a, that's a weird thing. | ||
| And how about that? | ||
| But I was thinking about, you know, I remember George H.W. | ||
| Bush saying something like, we can now begin to see a new world order. | ||
| And it's a reference to the liberal economic order that was created after World War II. | ||
| We've talked about ad nauseum. | ||
| The CFR has it on their website. | ||
| They talk all about it. | ||
| They're News Guard certified, by the way. | ||
| And that's an old system, they want a new system. | ||
| And I thought about, how is everything falling apart? | ||
| How did Donald Trump win? | ||
| And I'm like, oh, I get it. | ||
| The children of these people are inept, and it's obvious. | ||
| They say that wealth lasts three generations. | ||
| Someone who is hardworking builds it, has kids who did not work hard, who inherit it, who have children themselves, the grandkids, who have no idea how to even manage the money because they weren't taught by their grandfather, and then the money evaporates. | ||
| The same is true for those that run the government. | ||
| It's like three generations on and that ability to control the system is lost to them. | ||
| Yeah, and you're seeing as things continue to decline all of these people just emerge from the woodwork, you know, | ||
| Donald Trump We love him Blake Masters. Carrie Lake all of these people | ||
| who previously were not known to Republicans or conservatives | ||
| They're all like rising to the occasion and they're very talented. They're great candidates | ||
| They're good on the issues and it almost recalls like the founding | ||
| I mean, I was talking with your driver on the way over about George Washington. | ||
| They had to beg this guy to come lead the army. | ||
| They had to beg him to come be the president. | ||
| He was just, like, a wealthy aristocratic farmer. | ||
| They had to beg him, and now he's, like, one of the greatest Ameri- probably the greatest American of all time. | ||
| And you're going to see that. | ||
| As things continue to decline, you're going to have Americans who still exist. | ||
| I mean, there are tens of millions of us. | ||
| They're gonna be like, you know what? | ||
| I'm a very smart guy. | ||
| I've been very successful in whatever practice I've chosen to pursue, but now is my time, and they're going to get involved in politics, and they are going to perform better than the people we have now. | ||
| They're going to be far more popular, and I think that ultimately we will make America great again. | ||
| Things will also play themselves out. | ||
| You know, a lot of the people who are chemically castrated, whether by choice or by You know, circumstance of everything else around us that was instituted by the state. | ||
| They're not going to be having children. | ||
| The people who are going to be having children are the people who still believe in families, still believe in marriages, still hopefully believe in having a future for this country. | ||
| And those are the people that are going to be the future leaders of this country. | ||
| So I have hope in that particular aspect, but then I also see a lot of the bigger problems. | ||
| And this is, again, why I'm so kind of allergic to people calling for more state intervention. | ||
| Because just like the state could be used for some people's ideas of good, it could also be used for bad. | ||
| But when you have a bigger state, you have the possibility of that pendulum swinging back even harder. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| In terms of the size of the state, if we're going to measure in dollars, which I think is a pretty fair metric, In my ideal government, you know, it would be like one-tenth the size. | ||
| I mean, there's so much waste, so much patronage, rewarding, friend, things like that. | ||
| So much waste. | ||
| So the actual size of my government, in terms of, like, how big it is in money, would be significantly smaller. | ||
| In terms of how it's actually, like, affecting your day-to-day life also would be significantly smaller, unless you're, like, a groomer or a communist or something like that. | ||
| But you're not. | ||
| You're very fine people. | ||
| You'll be fine. | ||
| But this actually does vindicate your point earlier, too, about the alternative school choices. | ||
| Because leftists don't reproduce by having kids. | ||
| Leftists reproduce by grooming kids. | ||
| So they infiltrate, whether it's like early education or even on social media now, and they try to poison children's minds into buying into all this ridiculousness. | ||
| And these poor conservative parents, they actually believed, perhaps naively, but we understand it, that they could still send their kids to schools and they wouldn't become indoctrinated. | ||
| And now you've got these poor dads having to, like, argue with their children about why they don't actually own their minds and why, because, you know, if it's not the parents that own the minds of the child, it's gonna be the state, as you mentioned. | ||
| This is crazy to me. | ||
| We've had people come here to the studio and be like, passively, we're talking, they'll be like, oh yeah, you know, my kids, they're gonna be home from college for the holiday, and I'm like, what? | ||
| Do you not listen to your own commentary? | ||
| Like, how do you have kids in college? | ||
| Well, they'll be fine. | ||
| It depends on the school, though. | ||
|

I disagree. | |
| There are good schools out there. | ||

| There are good Catholic schools out there. | ||
| I don't know about the rest, but I know that there are bright spots. | ||
| Fair point, I suppose. | ||
| Then, to clarify, I'm talking about people who are saying that their kids are going to, like, state universities and things like that, and I'm just, like, kind of shocked that they would come out and be like, look what's happening to these kids, and I'm like, bro, you're putting your kids- Well, a lot of them say, like, oh, my kid is influencing the students around them. | ||
| They're the influence. | ||
| They're a good influence on the students around them and that's completely delusional. | ||
| Didn't Jim Brewer do a bit about this for stand-up that went viral? | ||
| Where he was like, my daughter came back from college and was calling me like an evil white man or something like that? | ||
| I believe that, I didn't see it. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| How insane! | ||
| Did you see the black supremacist that was speaking out against her father during the father's funeral? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That was disgusting. | ||
| That was shocking and that was terrifying to see the indoctrination where You know, a child who was raised by a father that pretty much gave her everything. | ||
| Gave her an Ivy League education, spent millions of dollars into making sure that she got the best education. | ||
| That education turned to her, during the funeral, denouncing and calling out the father as a bigot and a horrible human being. | ||
| And that's like the restructuring of values where now the dopamine that she got from that is worth more to her than loyalty to her family. | ||
| And we saw this too during the Summer of Love. | ||
| These poor dads in like middle America were getting exposed and cancelled on TikTok by their stupid daughters being like, he didn't post a black square! | ||
| He's watching Fox News! | ||
| He's racist! | ||
| And they're just like, where did I go wrong? | ||
| I feel so badly for those men. | ||
| The dopamine from social media interactions that have an algorithm that prioritizes this, that incentivizes this, that I personally believe is controlled by the government, especially the DHS that has a hand in what people see and what they don't see, and I think this is all being done deliberately in my own personal opinion from my own assertions. | ||
| John, you said you feel badly for those men, but it's like they've kind of wedded their daughters to the world in a way that I can't sympathize completely. | ||
| You gave them a smartphone at 12 years old, you sent them to public schools, and you didn't instill religious values in them or tell them that they're beautiful. | ||
| It's like, what do you expect to happen? | ||
| I agree with that, but I mean, imagine like how children were being raised in like the 1920s, 1930s. | ||
| You know, the boomer generation really was the first generation to be like psyoped by television into rebelling from their parents. | ||
| I mean, this whole idea of like, oh, they're a teenager, they're rebelling from their parents, that is very historically new. | ||
| It is something that was really invented in the 20th century because Like you mentioned, they have an incentive to use technology to get into the minds of the youth and program them how they will. | ||
| I feel bad in the sense that I really firmly believe that American men, men in the world, should be able to not have to worry about, if my child goes to the same school as all these other people, if they do this, I think they should still be proactive in their child's lives. | ||
| But I do think it's very sad how now they have to dedicate so much time that their fathers and grandfathers would not have had to dedicate to making sure that their child doesn't end up hating them and denouncing them at their funeral. | ||

|
So let's see what we got. | |
| All right. | ||
| Alexander Pokrant says, holy, the chat is schmoven. | ||
| It certainly is. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
| says, Tim, I had a super chat about folks of the right conflating LGB trans pedos. | ||
| I don't agree. | ||
| Then I saw you trending and met Walsh. | ||
| In met Walsh, that's right. | ||
| And I saw the left doing the same thing. | ||
| Don't stereotypes usually have an origin? | ||
| So I was trending on Twitter. | ||
| Matt Walsh was trending on Twitter, more than me, mind you. | ||
| But Twitter said, Matt Walsh trending in Tim Pool. | ||
| Like, it's a weird way to phrase it, so I tweeted, I tweeted that. | ||
| We'll talk about it on the members show, it was funny. | ||
| Matt was like, I am uncomfortable with this. | ||
| I thought it was funny. | ||
| All right! | ||
| Candy Mitch says, I got a reminder for the upcoming show today. | ||
| Hey, that's cool, glad to see it. | ||
| Grofty says, censorship, but, but, but, We started an ad campaign for Chicken City again. | ||
| We're gonna kick Chicken City up in high gear. | ||
| Go watch Roberto Jr., the star of the show. | ||
| We feature him on the website. | ||
| Proudly. | ||
| When you become a member, there's a panel of various talent here at TimCast, and Roberto Jr. | ||
| and Bocas, our cat, are on there. | ||
| Let's read some more Super Chats. | ||
| SR71 Industries has shameless plug, Tim, and friends started an automotive channel talking about American car culture. | ||
| History, budget builds, part reviews. | ||
| America and humanity are number one forever. | ||
| Very cool, man. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| Trevor Lynch said, what you said on Twitter is absolute veritas. | ||
| Thanks for what you do. | ||
| Yeah, I will stress this. | ||
| Uh, today, I was researching and doing stories, and, uh, as I started researching a particular story out of Colorado, I realized that people were avoiding the subject, and I was like, we should talk about this. | ||
| And it was, it's a scary thing to do. | ||
| I'm getting death threats, you know, it is what it is. | ||
| I don't really look for it, and I don't care, but I have, like, people texting me. | ||
| They're like, hey, did you know that people are threatening your life? | ||
| And I'm like, oh, come on, bro. | ||
| Like, it's, what, is it danding with Y? | ||
| But, uh, thanks for the shout-out, and I also had a, it's funny, like, like I mentioned, some great, like, some, some lefty guy, like, calls me on the phone all angry, but then I've also gotten messages from various people, uh, uh, independent libertarian types, anarchist types, and conservatives being like, hey man, keep doing your thing. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| We'll talk about it. | ||
| I'll, I'll get into great detail on the Members Only show where we can really get into the nitty-gritty. | ||
| John Curry says, Day-ee is pronounced Day-ee. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, there we go. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| That's right. | ||
| James Richard says, Twitter should be 100% free speech if proven you're not a bot. | ||
| I suppose, but depends on how you define free speech, to be honest. | ||
| Some people say no to doxxing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Let's grab some super chats. | ||
| Donald Devol says, Tim, do you know any of the ladies skateboarders in the music video Dark Necessities by the Red Hot Chili Peppers? | ||
| I've not seen it. | ||
| Is that new? | ||
| I mean, the answer is probably a maybe, but whatever. | ||
| All right, what do we got here? | ||
| Kid Truck says, love John Doyle. | ||
| Well, there you go. | ||
| The guy who, uh, who loves John Doyle. | ||
| There you are. | ||
| Sword and Scale says, Tim, Cenk Uygur called you a pedo on his show in front of 96,000 people. | ||
| See Twitter. | ||
| Please sue him for defamation immediately. | ||
| Uh yeah that's a maybe because it it's like there's going to be anti-slap laws and so it's just like whatever dude let him let him spiral out of control and say nonsense basically he said something like republicans are projecting and it's just like my guy i am not a catholic i am not a conservative nor am i a republican it just so happens that independents two to one sided with republicans this time the funny thing is it's like He's talking about the Catholic Church and all that stuff. | ||
| I'm like, uh-huh, yes. | ||
| Carry on as I agree with you on that being a problem and have never defended it. | ||
| But in their minds, in the cult, if you are not in complete agreement with them, then you believe things that they... It's just weird. | ||
| Like, the guy who calls me, I'm like, I agree with you on these points. | ||
| And it's like, oh. | ||
| What's interesting about that, too, is they don't talk about it in the public schools, where it happens at a far higher rate than within the Catholic Church. | ||
| And even when it does, as a Catholic, when it does happen in the Catholic Church, it's not exactly a pedophilia problem in the way they want to frame it. | ||
| It's more specific than that, and I'm sure we can get into that in the Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| My attitude is just like, bro, if you've got, you know, it was funny too because the guy on the phone was like, I've seen cheerleaders at football games. | ||
| I'm like, that's a meme, my guy. | ||
| Like cheerleaders wearing skimpy shorts and everything. | ||
| I also don't think kids should be around, but it's very different from someone like showing off their, their junk. | ||
| But again, we'll, we'll get into all this stuff. | ||
| We'll get into all this stuff. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got. | ||
| We'll grab some more super chats. | ||
| In a more immediate sense, yes, because I don't think that any sort of collapse would be good for America. | ||
| petrodollar too? Interesting question. Let me ask you this, John. How do you feel? Do | ||
| we want to maintain the petrodollar? | ||
| In a more immediate sense, yes, because I don't think that any sort of collapse would | ||
| be good for America. I think that would be ruled by, like, cartel warlords pretty quickly. | ||
| But in a more long-term sense, we're probably going to have to find some sort of alternative. | ||
| You know, and there is almost something that does make me smile, the idea of, like, 40 | ||
| years from now, my grandchild might be attending, like, some Chinese school and learning in | ||
| a Chinese class with an accurate history of, like, the last 30 years of America. Like, | ||
| no propaganda. And that might be very good in the sense that the truth will prevail. | ||
| I think it'll be like 30 years, and you're gonna have like a child who's a young man, you know, chopping wood in the backyard, chiseled, fit, eating protein mostly, raising animals, and then telling stories to his young son, like, you know they used to just lay around all day and complain about stuff? | ||
| Our sons are gonna be best friends on the compound, you'll see. | ||
| You mean in the gulag? | ||
| Yeah, they'll tell the tale of this great debate. | ||
| They'll be breaking rocks. | ||
| Remember when our dads were arguing about statism? | ||
| And then Luke's kid's gonna be like, my dad was right. | ||
| Jake Willis says, we have better companies than brick countries. | ||
| Whether it is computers, apparel, tools, we can survive without petrodollar. | ||
| I think so too. | ||
| I think we're resilient. | ||
| I think if the petrodollar did fall, this country would immediately start rapidly developing internal economics. | ||
| So, I'm not really worried about it. | ||
| I say the night is always darkest before the dawn. | ||
| But the worst case scenario for us is that we're gonna roll up our sleeves and get to work and We'll have a good go of it. | ||
| I don't think we're just going to all die or anything like that. | ||
| Well, it's going to fall eventually, just like any kind of dollar civilization system. | ||
| It does naturally, and it's just going to happen. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Ian King says, Tim, I'm a 28 machinist, no college degree, $30 an hour. | ||
| We have limited manufacturing in the US. | ||
| I work for the largest food packaging equipment manufacturer. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Omega Resetsu says a smart libertarian to have on is Liberty Doll. | ||
| Well, alright. | ||
| I'll note that. | ||
| Yeah, you know, I've had a lot of arguments with staunch libertarians, and you gotta find the smart ones, but I think the Mises Caucus guys, you notice they're relative, they're very different from the older libertarian party. | ||
| They took it over, they changed, and so they have more in common, I think, with America First's conservative types, so. | ||
| But we'll see, man. | ||
| We'll see how things turn out. | ||
| Augusto Mimochet says, helicopter libertarianism. | ||

Whoop. | |
| Brutal. | ||
| Kay Av says, I cannot believe Luke doesn't... Okay, I'm not reading that one. | ||
| I'm curious. | ||
| I'm curious now, too. | ||
| Nope, it's gone. | ||
| I scrolled past it. | ||
| You don't want me to read it. | ||
| You don't want me to read it. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Chase says, I don't know if you had John on your list before or after I suggested him, but it's been very gratifying seeing how your ideas and Luke's ideas and Mary's ideas interact with John's philosophy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree. | |
| I think that was an excellent discussion. | ||
| It was very interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Joseph says, I'm watching a guy who thinks libertarians are bad. | ||
| Real. | ||
| I was going to ask, do you think they're bad? | ||
| Well, I don't think they're bad. | ||
| I think they're just misguided. | ||
| You know, as Reagan said, the problem with our libertarian friends isn't that they're, what is it, uneducated. | ||
| They just know so much that isn't true or something like that. | ||
| Of course, paraphrasing his quote on liberals. | ||
| But it's fundamentally the same. | ||
| Libertarianism and progressivism are basically the same insofar as progressives are like, wouldn't it be great if everyone was equal? | ||
| Okay, yeah, who's going to disagree with that? | ||
| Libertarians, wouldn't it be great if the government was smaller? | ||
| It's like, okay, yeah, sure. | ||
| I think it just misinterprets what the actual problems are. | ||
| To be fair, the Libertarian candidates were atrocious and horrible, but if you think Libertarians are bad, wait until you find out about what Statists are doing and what they've been doing throughout history. | ||
| And what is Aleppo? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Do you remember that one? | ||
| That one was horrible. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know, like when I'm looking at like, you know, I'm not looking at them as statists. | ||
| I'm looking at them as, like, communists, you know? | ||
| Like, George W. Bush was a statist. | ||
| He's a neocon. | ||
| Ronald Reagan, pretty good president. | ||
| Arguably a statist. | ||
| I mean, if you're, like, on the political column... Why do you think Reagan was a good president? | ||
| Um, I mean, I think... Well, I do actually think he was worse than a lot of conservatives want to give him credit for. | ||
| I do think it was good that he did try to actually wage a significant war on, like, affirmative action, sort of the post-civil rights consensus in America. | ||
| I think that was good. | ||
| I think he was also good for, you know, the president's job as a cheerleader, but I don't think he was as good as a lot of... | ||
| fault divorce and the NFA. Yeah. | ||
| He banned guns. | ||
| America's an idea. I'm not the biggest Reagan fan, but... | ||
| That's second term. | ||
| I think if you're going to look at like the traditional political compass, which I know | ||
| a lot of people take issue with, if you're leaning more towards the blue than the purple, | ||
| I guess you're technically like a statist, but that doesn't mean you're all the way at | ||
| the top like a totalitarian. So I think that there is a very important difference between | ||
| totalitarianism and authoritarianism. And I think the reason that the media psyops people | ||
| into thinking they're one and the same is because they know that the only legitimate | ||
| challenge to leftist authoritarianism is a competent right-wing government. | ||
| Do you want a monarchy? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I think competent government is an oxymoron, though. | ||
| I don't at all. | ||
| Monarchy, no. | ||
| I think it's entirely who's staffing it. | ||
| What's the form of government where you have a person who exercises control but it can't be passed down? | ||
| Successive monarchy? | ||
| No, that is literally passed down. | ||
| There's no real simple answer to the problem. | ||
| The idea of monarchy I think people romanticize because The idea that you could have a philosopher king who has a vision and can run the country properly with a long-term goal and improve everything for everybody, I understand. | ||
| But then, who's to say their kid has those values? | ||
| You know, a lot of these powerful individuals have dumb kids, and those kids do dumb things. | ||
| So, like, a king has a son, the son is like, I'm in charge now! | ||
| We're going to burn all our steel down to make You know, weapons or something, and then they can't farm. | ||
| There was a very real effort from the kings and from the aristocracy to breed children who felt that same obligation and care for their people, which now is totally different because now the elites, because we have this free and fair democratic system, they feel no obligation to look after the lower classes of people. | ||
| And in fact, they actually view them to be less educated and, like, basically they're off-put by them, which I think is bad. | ||
| And also, with monarchy, it's at least easier to know who's in control There's no accountability in our democracy, because nobody actually knows who's in charge. | ||
| We can dunk on Brandon as much as we want, nobody actually thinks he's pulling the strings, and so it's like, who's in charge? | ||
| It's this total shadow government where there's no accountability possible, unless you can just vote for the right people, then there's accountability, I guess. | ||
| They're all on the same team, the Uniparty's real, they fortify elections, like there is no real solution. | ||
| I think, I think Biden's running the show. | ||
| You do? | ||
| I absolutely don't. | ||
| It's the Seattle government. | ||
| So, you look at what's going on politically, and it's like, whoever's in charge is running around like a chicken with their head cut off, right? | ||
| So, the economy's in shambles, they can't get their narrative straight, the pullout of Afghanistan was ridiculous, everything's in chaos, they're dumping oil from the petroleum reserve, and I'm like, it doesn't seem like anyone's in control. | ||
| I genuinely believe that it's a bunch of powerful elites sitting around, too inept, because they've inherited a system they can't control, and they're shrugging. | ||
| So, to put it simply, Biden is not in control because he's out of his mind, and there's no one else with a cohesive vision of what's going on, so they're all just sitting there shrugging, and Kamala Harris goes out and just speaks like an autotext generator. | ||
| What better way to blame your malice on incompetence, right? | ||
| I think that's exactly what they're doing. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Governments routinely blame their malice on incompetence. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Yeah, but I mean, I guess the argument then is, do you think, okay, fine, you know, fair point. | ||
| You know that because they never apologize. | ||
| With the open border, if they were like, oh man, we really messed this up, they would apologize, but they don't. | ||
| That's how you know it is malice. | ||
| And then it's also because all the staffers are like these, you know, 105 IQ kids who drank their way through like George Washington University, and now they're like, I'm gonna run Yeah. | ||
| around the country and it's like, okay. | ||
| All right, Illuminati Confirmed says, America has turned itself into a multinational state | ||
| and empire. | ||
| You cannot have a cohesive society and a multinational empire. | ||
| Yeah, I think there's some nuance to that that needs to be broken down, but on the surface, | ||
| I get what you're saying. | ||
| You sort of can, but it's with an iron fist and it's unstable. | ||
| The USSR, I think, shows us that. | ||
| It just, it gets too big. | ||
| If you've ever played Civilization, you get it. | ||
| Like, you know, the further away from your capital the cities are, the more corrupt they are, and things like that. | ||
| It's just the way it is. | ||
| You gotta send enforcers, and then who's gonna enforce them, and it's just, eh. | ||
| You can't do it, man. | ||
| Let's grab a super chat. | ||
| Arthamesia says, Yo Tim, I did a video here on YouTube over why you are trending today. | ||
| If I don't get banned for it, people can find out easily here. | ||
| Wish me luck. | ||
| Good luck! | ||
| The reason why I'm trending is multifaceted, and it's not just about a single tweet. | ||
| It's actually about a handful of them, and a video I did, and boy, are they losing their minds. | ||
| They've lost it. | ||
| But I think it's because, you know, it's because I'm calling them out. | ||
| I think they want two things. | ||
| I think the far left wants violence, and I've been calling repeatedly for there to be none, because it's ineffective and it's bad for us, and they want narrative control. | ||
| So they can't have someone coming out saying, like, here's what they did, and there shouldn't be violence. | ||
| They need, like, so I explain this to people, the reason false flag attacks exist is because being the victim grants you political power. | ||
| So what we need is to understand the rules, how they're being manipulated, ballot harvesting, and it's legal in most places to a certain degree. | ||
| Even in Arizona it's legal. | ||
| You've just got to be a certified caregiver. | ||
| We need to compete on those grounds and then fix the system before everything falls apart. | ||
| And we need to make sure that stupid people don't go crazy and we need to make sure we stop people from being violent outright. | ||
| They don't like that. | ||
| But we'll get into it, there's a lot, we'll show you all the examples. | ||
| Okay, more superchats. | ||
| Red Muskrat says, the problem with dissolving the federal government is the secret programs. | ||
| Changed my mind. | ||
| Yeah, you know what I think too? | ||
| We sit here having these debates and we don't know what's, we don't know about a lot of the top secret and classified stuff that's going on. | ||
| So it's, it's almost like people standing outside a building arguing about how we should, you know, fix the plumbing in the building that we've never seen. | ||
| We have a general understanding of where the plumbing comes from, we have a general understanding of the type of plumbing, but inside, who knows what they're stuffing down that drain. | ||
| It's probably a lot worse than we even know. | ||
| Yep, it's like Lucille Ball when she was doing the chocolates or whatever and the thing goes out of control and she's shoving them in her face. | ||
| Outside, they're like, we want to make sure we're running the machine like this and we shouldn't have these problems. | ||
| Inside, it's chaos. | ||
| Epstein Island, that's just scratching the surface. | ||
| We only know 1% of what actually was going on there, so imagine what's really happening behind the scenes. | ||
| Yeah, it'd be funny if, like, there's actually—it's so far beyond Epstein. | ||
| He's, like, the mailroom guy, and whatever was happening was a hundred-fold worse. | ||
| That's probably more likely than not, actually, considering how they allowed that whole story to be covered in the first place. | ||
| Like, that's almost weird in a way. | ||
| If it were really something that was going to indict them, they probably would have suppressed it more. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if Epstein was a front. | ||
| A shield for someone to store value, to take a patsy, as it were. | ||
| I mean, you think about how corporations work, right? | ||
| A company, this is what they do in the entertainment industry. | ||
| Every movie is its own corporation. | ||
| None of the investors actually want any of that movie liability on them. | ||
| Then the movie ends up making billions of dollars, but the company itself reports a massive loss, writing off its taxes, because it has to disperse the profits in a certain way or whatever. | ||
| You don't think that these powerful elites that were gaming whatever, you know, the system and were working with Epstein didn't plan for this? | ||
| So it's like you hear Epstein, he's probably the mailroom guy. | ||
| He was like, was he like a high school teacher or something? | ||
| Something like that? | ||
| And then all of a sudden he started getting involved in finance. | ||
| A high school teacher tied into, what's his name? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The father of the head of the, what was it? | |
| I can't believe I haven't had a brain fart here. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| The Dalt University, which was a prestigious university, whose father was run by... I can't believe I'm blanking here. | ||
| All right, well, anyway, my point is... The main guy investigating him under Trump, who was looking at him... Bill Maher. | ||
| Bill Barr. | ||
| Yeah, Bill Barr's father gave Epstein his start at the adult school. | ||
| So they go to this guy who's like a high school teacher or whatever, and they say, we want to remove all liability from us, you will live a comfortable life, and you will be our front and our shield. | ||
| And he says, whatever you say, boss, I'm just a nobody. | ||
| And then, you know, they use him to get away with everything they did. | ||
| So ultimately, when he comes to his end and Maxwell is arrested, that's where the camera is pointed. | ||
| And then meanwhile, the powerful individuals who amass the wealth and control it, they're probably hiding off somewhere. | ||
| And what's so funny about that is, like you said, everyone wants to pounce on the, oh, bad guy, you know, secret pedophile club. | ||
| The more interesting story is that this guy was literally commissioned by other countries' intelligence agencies to collect this information on powerful people in the West. | ||
| And so that's a very interesting rabbit hole to go down and figure out, who are these people? | ||
| Why are they doing this? | ||
| Who is on the client list? | ||
| Why did we never find that out? | ||
| What do we got here? | ||
| Frederick Von Steen says, Luke, you need to advocate against democracy and voting because to vote in an election, you lend legitimacy and power to the state. | ||
| If you advocate for voting, then you advocate for using state power. | ||
| Doesn't Michael Malice argue that? | ||
| I'm not sure what Malice says on that. | ||
| You can't vote away my rights. | ||
| My rights aren't up for a vote and things like that. | ||
| I do believe that local elections and local community efforts do actually matter, and I do believe the larger kind of elections are these kind of staged Fisher-Price playsets that people are convinced they're actually real when they're kind of scams. | ||
| It's also interesting because, I mean, you can say that. | ||
| You can't vote away my rights. | ||
| They're my rights. | ||
| Well, you know, people do it all the time. | ||
| Like, what do you mean you can't? | ||
| You can. | ||
| And our understanding of rights in this country comes from God-given rights. | ||
| And libertarians, from my experience at least, are largely atheists. | ||
| And they largely don't care about, you know, what our God, you know, Christian God would say, right? | ||
| Well, I should say God. | ||
| I don't know about the Jesus guys. | ||
| Um, and then it's interesting too because the things that they want to classify as their rights, things like abortion, things like same-sex marriage, those are things that the God who gave you those rights would clearly be completely opposed to in the first place. | ||
| I'm being nitpicky here, but you can't vote away someone's rights, you can vote to infringe them. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| But that's just semantics. | ||
| Not to make a semantic argument. | ||
| Ian wasn't here, so, you know, I had to do something. | ||
| Pick up the slack. | ||
| All right. | ||
| iKefka says, Tim, does communism work on a small scale, or does it only work because when one voice dissents, they exile or imprison them? | ||
| Does it work on a small scale in our nation because voices of dissent can freely leave? | ||
| I suppose what I mean to say is, Well, yes, you're hitting the nail on the head. | ||
| If you have like 50 people and they're like, we're gonna form a commune, there's a very small community of people who are very like-minded, most likely, who agreed to come together in the first place. | ||
| If you impose communism on a country, you've got millions of people who are like, I don't agree to this. | ||
| And then what do you do with those people? | ||
| Well, the Soviet Union figured it out. | ||
| Yeah, bad things happen. | ||
| What do we have here? | ||
| Seve Rose says, John Doyle, you will never win over libertarians and anarchists as long as you think anyone outside the RD binary is too stoned to respect for their views. | ||
| You sound too stoned to comprehend what I was saying. | ||
| I'm not trying to do that. | ||
| You know, it's like, oh, you're never going to win me over, man. | ||
| It's like, okay, well, you guys are an insignificant proportion of the population. | ||
| Frankly, you have like 50 million white people who didn't vote in 2020. | ||
| You can appeal to those people by focusing on issues that we win with independence. | ||
| Things like immigration, things like being tough on crime. | ||
| Which also went over a significant proportion of non-white voters, more so than like what Trump tried to do, frankly, which is pandering to them with things like, oh, we're gonna be softer on crime, we're gonna let convicted criminals out of prison, things like that, trying to pander to what people like Jared Kushner tell him is good policy. | ||
| So, we don't need the libertarian vote. | ||
| We're gonna make America great again, with or without you, and you'll be better off for it. | ||
| Some people would argue that the libertarian anarchist vote is the vote of the people who are not into the political system. | ||
| And if you look at the people, especially in the last midterm election, it's the people who are watching, not participating, that are the biggest anarchists, I would argue. | ||
| Because only 100 million people, around 100 million people, voted in the midterm elections. | ||
| The majority of people didn't. | ||
| So that's the base you want to go after if you want to win. | ||
| I think it is because They have watched our political system fail to stop people from doing bad things, and so they're just like, what do I get? | ||
| What has the Republican Party given to me for my years of loyalty to them? | ||
| Like, I'm done with it. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| A lot of people lost faith in the political system, making them kind of quasi-anarchists. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think that's because they're mad that the political system was, like, being too intrusive in their day-to-day lives. | ||
| I think it's because they're just like, oh, this is just, like, completely failing to actually wield power to stop enemies from, like... Yeah, I don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils. | ||
| I don't want evil. | ||
| I'm not voting. | ||
| I don't want to be a part of this. | ||
| That's a lot of people in America. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, We Got Em says, Ben Franklin said, only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. | ||
| As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters. | ||
| This is why you can't just give someone freedom, they need responsibility first. | ||
| That responsibility should come from, you know, either God or family, and from personal decisions. | ||
| It's tough. | ||
| You know, there's no simple answer. | ||
| You need a well-informed, philosophically and morally educated population. | ||
| And I think there are a lot of people that want to strip all of that understanding away from the population to make them docile and easier to control. | ||
| That's what they get. | ||
| All right. | ||

Thanks, man. | |
| What do we have? | ||
| Oh, man, this is a good one. | ||
| Richard Adams says, Government is 40% of GDP. | ||
| But that just means they're taking your money. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| Well, modern monetary policy is them just printing and spending money. | ||
| And then taking more of your money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But that's to suppress, like, um... Prosperity. | ||
| Like, the modern monetary theory point of taxation is to control hyperinflation. | ||
| They don't need to spend your dollars. | ||
| They're printing them whenever they want. | ||
| But they want to control the, you know, the flow. | ||
| So, increasing and decreasing taxes is more about how much control they have over the monetary flow. | ||
|

All right, let's get some more here. | |
| Christian Rolden says, it's been a while since I've had a host that represents absolutely everything that me as an independent despises of conservatives, not so different from the left, he just wants to impose his view. | ||
| Yeah, and I get this a lot, like, you're just like the left, you want to impose your morality on me, and it's like, yeah, there is such a thing as morality, you know? | ||
| The left wants to impose upon you things that are immoral, I'm trying to impose upon you things that are moral. | ||
| If I were king of America, this place would become a measurably better place. | ||
| That's just a fact. | ||
| Anyone who is sympathetic to my ideas could more or less do the same thing. | ||
| When communists have total control of America, things become worse. | ||
| The problem that you have experienced with conservatives isn't because of people like John Doyle talking on the internet. | ||
| It's because of your leadership class failing to stop those people, which is why the bad people have been allowed to dictate what morality is in this country. | ||
| So if you don't believe in morality, that's fine, but the Constitution wasn't written for you, big guy. | ||
| When Thomas Jefferson, who was probably the most liberal founding father, was governor of Virginia, he equated sodomy, which is when two men try to... That was the equivalent of, like, rape. | ||
| I mean, those people were very... Is that not the case? | ||
| It's, it's, it's, it could be with a woman too. | ||
| Any form of sodomy? | ||
| Sodomy refers to anything other than traditional... Yes, okay. | ||
| You know, birds of peace. | ||
| My inclination is to think that that would disproportionately target a particular demographic, but the point is, Founding Fathers would have been very socially conservative. | ||
| They would have been definitely more on my side if they saw the way things were going. | ||
| You got Mary's vote, but my response, in short, no kings, no slaves. | ||
| All right, where were we at? | ||
| Carlo Magno TV says Fundamentalism was the best government in Civilization II. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| You got a powerful unit called the Fundamentalist. | ||
| You had almost no corruption. | ||
| People tithed to the government, so taxation was through the roof. | ||
| You've played Civilization? | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Amazing game. | ||
| I think it should be mandatory in schools. | ||
| Well, I think people should homeschool their kids, but I think you should have your kids play this game. | ||
| Not only does it teach history, There's a, the latest version has powerful quotes throughout history. | ||
| As you're building cities, you build wonders. | ||
| And so when I was little, and I'm playing Civ 2, I learned all about the stuff, the Manhattan Project, the pyramids, the Hanging Gardens, Chichen Itza, all these things. | ||
| Because I'm playing this game, trying to like, you know, build my civilization or whatever. | ||
| But man, do you really understand corruption and like taxes? | ||
| And I'm like, why are my people protesting? | ||
| My cities are in disarray. | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| And then I'm like, fundamentalist government. | ||
| Everyone becomes religious and then it all stops. | ||
| There's no corruption. | ||
| There's no protest. | ||
| I would sooner trust, like, some autistic teenager who has, like, a thousand hours on Steam with, like, Civ V to run the country than I would, like, someone with, like, a Master's in Public Policy degree. | ||
| Agreed. | ||

And I am at Surge.com. | |
| There's plenty of fakers out there. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| Everyone gets confused for some reason. | ||
| I'm at Surge.com. | ||
| Simple as. | ||
| I'll also just add, I think there's an extremely, it is probably very likely that we're not going to be doing the show tomorrow. | ||
| And it's just that the holidays, well, for one, you should spend time with your family. | ||
| So a lot of people are going to be traveling tomorrow to go see family, and then Thursday, of course, is the day in which people are going to be with their families. | ||
| Then there's Black Friday. | ||
| The truth is, we couldn't get a guest! | ||
|
unidentified
|
We did. | |
| A lot of Eliyahu agreed to come on the show, and we're glad to have him because he's awesome, and it would be a really great conversation. | ||
| But, you know, people just stop working around this time, and then what happens is the news becomes all half-assed, and then it's like, okay, I'm not going to force a show. | ||
| If there's interesting and powerful things that are happening, we'll see what we can do. | ||
| But it may be that we just, you know, we don't do a show, and y'all should spend time with your families. | ||
| But that being said, we will have a very important show coming up right now at TimCast.com, so thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all there. |
