| So we got this new Republican Speaker of the House, and the good news is, he says there's insufficient evidence to impeach Joe Biden. | ||
| And he gave a great speech where he said, look, impeachment requires these things, and though we have evidence of these things, we don't have evidence of those things, so we're not going to be able to impeach him. | ||
| And I'm seeing a lot of people are kind of angry about it. | ||
| But, you know, I gotta be honest. | ||
| I'm actually happy about it. | ||
| I am now a... I'm pro-Biden, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| I want Joe Biden to be the Democratic nominee. | ||
| I am happy that the Republicans have seen it clearly and understand now that Joe is a great guy and should stay president and he should be the Democrat nominee in 2024. | ||
| I strongly hope that is the case. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because Trump is leading in five of six swing states and Democrats actually want Joe Biden out. | ||
| Here's what's funny. | ||
| When we hear the news that the GOP is saying insufficient evidence, you try pulling up stories. | ||
| No, no news outlet is running a headline breaking Republicans say no impeachment of Biden. | ||
| They're not doing it. | ||
| They're running these passive headlines of like impeachment may be slowing down because the Democrats and the corporate press are like, oh, we needed the Republicans to boot Joe Biden. | ||
| And now that he's in, So we'll talk about that. | ||
| A couple other stories, you know, just whatever. | ||
| Eric Adams got raided by the FBI. | ||
| You may have heard the story, but his phones have been seized. | ||
| Something to do with donations to Turkey. | ||
| It's getting crazy out there. | ||
| But it's Friday night, so we're chilling. | ||

Good to be here. | |
| Who are you? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
My name's Taylor Hanson, as you said, and I am a field reporter for Tenet Media. | |
| Right on. | ||
| The Mbop guy? | ||
| I thought that was you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Mbop guy, too, apparently. | |
| Yeah, I get that a lot. | ||
| Yes, and we did our first episode of The Culture War on Tenet Media on YouTube, so definitely subscribe to that. | ||
| We're super excited about this. | ||
| Basically, we're going to have this independent media supergroup thing going on, so there's going to be a lot of really awesome content. | ||
| And I'll just say right now, one of the best things for us It's one show a week. | ||
| We're going to be doing with Tenet Media in the mornings, The Culture War. | ||
| But basically, it's a major cross-promotional benefit for all of us that, you know, when Taylor's doing his reporting, when we're doing Culture War, the people who find our podcast or find his reporting, there's crossover. | ||
| And so, it's going to be very, very beneficial coming into this presidential election cycle. | ||
| So, super excited to have you, man. | ||

He was live streaming about, I think he was live streaming about the underground city or something like that. | |
| Well, you know, whatever floats his boat. | ||
| We got Serge pressing the buttons. | ||
| Yes, I'm here on Friday. | ||
| It's just a new one for me, but I'm excited. | ||
| It's always good to see you, Taylor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Always. | |
| Pleasure. | ||
| Let's do it, Tim. | ||
| Here's the breaking headline from the Washington Post. | ||
| Momentum behind impeachment increase slows under new speaker. | ||
| Now, hold on there a minute. | ||
| Why aren't they running the major headline of Speaker of the House says no impeachment? | ||
| They want Joe Biden impeached. | ||
| They're like, come on, Republicans, you have to walk into this one. | ||
| So we have this video. | ||
| Ed Krasenstein, you know me, love him. | ||
| He tweets out this video. | ||
| Let's play play the clip for you so you can hear it yourself as to why he's saying no impeachment this time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, let this be an open invitation to President Biden. | |
| I know the White House is recording all this. | ||
| They're watching what we do here. | ||
| Here's the open invitation. | ||
| President Biden, Secretary Blinken, any of the Biden family members and associates, or anyone who seeks to clear their name. | ||
| Anybody involved in this investigation at all, you can come right here. | ||
| You are welcome here in Congress to our committees. | ||
| We on the House Judiciary Committee, House Oversight Committee, Weaponization Committee, the Ways and Means Committee, any of them. | ||
| Pick your committee and we'll bring you in and you can clear your name. | ||
| Mr. Speaker, we would love to return our full focus to our regular and important work here. | ||
| But the facts in our sworn oath to defend the Constitution require this inquiry. | ||
| And I'll close with this, and I'm going to bring up a couple of my colleagues who will share their thoughts as well. | ||
| But remember that Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution itself expressly states, That the sole power of impeachment belongs here to this house. | ||
| And then Article 2, Section 4 says, listen to the language carefully. | ||
| It's expressly written in the Constitution. | ||
| This is not political talking points. | ||
| We're not making this up. | ||
| It says in Article 2, Section 4, that the president shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. | ||
| My friends, I just listed just a small sample, just the tip of the iceberg of the credible allegations and the mounting evidence that shows that Joseph Biden Has engaged in bribery schemes, pay to play schemes. | ||
| This is what the evidence shows. | ||
| And now for the best part, here is the quote from the Speaker of the House. | ||
| There is insufficient evidence at the moment to initiate formal impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden. | ||
| So after hearing what he just said, now you have it from the Washington Post as well. | ||
| You have the tweet from Mike Cernovich. | ||
| He says, congratulations, everyone. | ||
| That's his quote. | ||
| So why? | ||
| Why the change of pace here? | ||
| And I think it's fairly obvious. | ||
| Democrats actually want him impeached and convicted. | ||
| And the Republicans, like Mike Johnson previously was saying, yes, look what he's done. | ||
| We have evidence. | ||
| We have these checks. | ||
| All of a sudden he's saying there's insufficient evidence to move forward. | ||
| Yeah, they want Biden to stay. | ||
| Yeah, it's kind of hilarious that the Washington Post headline is sort of scolding Mike Johnson for not moving forward with the impeachment we all theoretically wanted for a while, but it just goes to show you the DNC absolutely hates Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe it's just a 4D chess move. | |
| I mean, they know that Biden is the weakest candidate here, and if they can keep him in and allow him to essentially ruin the country for as long as he has and the rest of his election, I think they know what they're doing here. | ||
| I kind of feel the same way. | ||
| It does seem like they've got all this stuff out in the open. | ||
| It's pretty obvious. | ||
| That he should be impeachable, but he is not. | ||
| They're not going to impeach him. | ||
| The Washington Post says it this way. | ||
| In a closed-door meeting with House GOP moderates this week, he indicated that there is insufficient evidence at the moment to initiate formal impeachment proceedings, according to people who attended the meeting. | ||
| We'll just go where the evidence goes, and we're not there yet. | ||
| And then you have, from the Hill, four days ago, Mike Johnson has accused Biden of bribery, now impeachment is in his hands. | ||
| As he's coming into the speakership, this is what the guy was all about. | ||
| Now that he's there, what is this? | ||
| Right? | ||
| I'm not so convinced, right, Mike Cernovich said, congratulations everybody, but I'm not so convinced it's a bad thing. | ||
| I stated this in the intro, I am, I am pro-Joe Biden. | ||
| Let's, let's, let's keep Joe Biden in there. | ||
| Hey, he should be the Democrat nominee. | ||
| Stop you. | ||
| Tim is personally campaigning for Joe Biden right now. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I don't understand the argument as to why... I mentioned this before when a lot of people were saying, why aren't they impeaching him now? | ||
| Why do they keep saying things like this? | ||
| I was like, maybe they're waiting for an October surprise. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You want to wait... Look, we're a year away from the election. | ||
| That's an eternity in an election. | ||
| I mean, judging by metrics on view counts on videos, right? | ||
| We're going to get a month out. | ||
| It's going to be nuts. | ||
| Everyone's going to be watching, eyes glued to everything. | ||
| You want to maximize the story. | ||
| You impeach him right now, the story disappears in three months, and then what? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| I'm assuming the Republicans, I assumed they would move for an inquiry and then impeach him some way down the line. | ||
| Now I'm thinking they're not going to impeach him at all and I'm all for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let him stay. | |
| It seems like they're just using him as a shield. | ||
| Yeah, scapegoat down the line. Well, and if Biden got impeached and Kamala became president, | ||
| it actually would potentially set her up for a run for the White House permanently. And I don't | ||
| think anyone wants that, including the DNC. She's historically unpopular. And I think, generally, | ||
| it looks like the DNC ultimately wants to run Newsom. And so impeaching Joe Biden gets them | ||
| a half step closer, but it's not perfect. | ||
| The RNC knows that ultimately Joe Biden is their best bet because he is splitting his own voters in every direction you can see. | ||
| And so even though the RNC doesn't know who they want to run, it's probably going to be Trump, they know that Biden is the best opposition because he'll avoid debates and the American public doesn't trust or like him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Swing states are a perfect example of his support right now. | |
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're not looking good. | |
| But I just gotta say, like, this statement of insufficient evidence is BS. | ||
| Everyone knows it. | ||
| Especially, and if you're a Democrat, you're probably, you're probably operating under the assumption that the Republicans are lying about their view of the evidence, too. | ||
| Because they just put out, what is it, two different checks? | ||
| Was it $40,000 and $200,000? | ||
| Mike Johnson himself claimed there's evidence of bribery for impeachment, and now he's walking it back? | ||
| This is funny because it's like, it reminds me of the beginning of COVID when it was people on the right being like, wear masks, quick! | ||
| And Fauci was like, you don't need to be wearing masks! | ||
| And then like, within a month, Fauci was like, it's best to wear two masks! | ||
| And then all the conservatives were like, no, you can't make me wear a mask! | ||
| I'm like, this is a weird game of... | ||
| Cat and mouse or something. | ||
| Is the question then, are House Republicans actually doing a disservice to the American people if they know that he's impeachable? | ||
| Even if it's strategically for the election, it's better to leave Biden in. | ||
| Are they failing in their own responsibilities by not impeaching him, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd say that's, I mean, that's, yes, they're failing in their responsibilities, but if you want to win an election, you got to do things like this. | |
| And clearly, we have lost election after election after election. | ||
| I mean, you saw Vivek Teran to Ronna McDaniel on the stage. | ||
| It was beautiful. | ||
| It was the best debate performance I've ever seen. | ||
| And, you know, some people said, yeah, but what about Trump? | ||
| No, no, Trump had his moments. | ||
| But Vivek, across the board, every step of the way, I would say Trump's key moments like, only Rosie O'Donnell and you'd be in jail, individually as moments, are the best moments of debates, but the sustained performance Vivek had, just ripping the machine to shreds, I think was the best overall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I was told that Nikki Haley won. | |
| Okay. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| She won in our hearts and minds, just not in actual reality. | ||
| She didn't win anywhere for me. | ||
| No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| No, I think part of the thing about Trump is that he is a sustained, I can't talk tonight, sustained performance throughout his whole campaign, right? | ||
| There is a personality. | ||
| People who go to his rallies really feel affected by them. | ||
| He's able to draw support that way. | ||
| And I think you see the charisma that Vivek has, and that is potentially great. | ||
| The problem here is that the RNC's preferred candidates, like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, Can't handle it. | ||
| They aren't performing on this level. | ||
| And the RNC is not willing to recruit and work with someone who has that level of charisma. | ||
| I want to give a shout out to our friend Ed Krasenstein over here, a liberal personality on Twitter who said, it's all theater. | ||
| It's all an attempt to create these bogus headlines of corruption, bribery and Biden crime family. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| This is I am outraged. | ||
| Joe Biden is a good man. | ||
| He is an American hero. | ||
| And we should keep him in office to run again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, I'm pro-Biden all the way now. | |
| Let's go. | ||
| Now that we're seeing the swing state polls, we're like, no, Biden, stay! | ||
| Because they're going to bring in someone else. | ||
| Look, it can only go up with Newsom. | ||
| I don't know if Newsom can beat Trump. | ||
| But, like, Biden leaving, it only goes up. | ||
| However, I do want to say it would be very satisfying to see Biden both impeached and convicted as the first president to be convicted. | ||
| You know, I don't know. | ||
| I'd rather just have Trump be president. | ||
| There are pros to all sorts of situations. | ||
| I mean, obviously, I think RFK is like, no, no, leave Biden where he is, because it is perfect for all the independents running this year. | ||
| You know, Jill Stein just announced she's gonna run with the Green Party. | ||
| Oh, did she really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's back. | |
| She's back! | ||
| I mean, that should be a tell of itself that the fact that all of the independents who are coming out ultimately, no matter what the mainstream media tells you, hemorrhage voters away from Biden who can't keep them anyways because they think he's too old and they're not confident in his performance. | ||
| The best thing he can do for Republicans is stay where he is because he's a roadblock for the DNC. | ||
| But again, theoretically, if he did all these things wrong, he should be impeached. | ||
| And so it is interesting. | ||
| What is the right path forward? | ||
| Winning. | ||
| And so it's like, how about we just impeach him after he loses? | ||
| We let him run, Trump wins, and then we impeach him. | ||
| Because you can do post-presidential impeachments. | ||
| That's what they did to Trump. | ||
| And you can do it. | ||
| And then we'll criminally charge him and convict him. | ||
| And he can share a jail cell with his son. | ||
| And they'll play Scrabble together. | ||
| It'll be very lovely. | ||
| It'll be a super fun relationship. | ||
| They'll love spending time together. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They'll get real close. | |
| Yeah, after all these years, they'll finally hang out. | ||
| Come on, man! | ||
| Uh-uh's not a word! | ||
| Uh-uh's absolutely a word. | ||
| It's in the Scrabble Dictionary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think whether the RNC likes it or not, I think Vivek is going to be the future of the GOP. | |
| And they're going to push back on him as hard as they can. | ||
| I mean, we saw it during the debates, but there's no stopping him at this point. | ||
| He's got Trump energy and he's young. | ||
| I think he is, what I said of Vivek the other day, is that he is the right-leaning leader of the millennial generation. | ||
| That is to say, I am not saying he is a leader of all millennials. | ||
| I am saying, of the millennials, of the millennials and younger, and even some older people, but I mean, he speaks really, really well for millennials. | ||
| Of those who are leaning moderate to right, maybe post-liberal or conservative, this guy is on top of all of the issues. | ||
| I am not saying, for each individual person, He is the best candidate for you and that you would like him. | ||
| I'm saying he is a wider base across millennials leaning to the right and so he is like the frontrunner for our generation. | ||
| And I think with a slightly different personality, you know, if he wasn't so willing to be front of stage, he actually would have been an RNC top donor and kingmaker in a lot of ways. | ||
| He has the finances and he can spot where Certain issues are leaning. | ||
| I mean, he is good and he's well-versed because he recognized where there was an opportunity for the Republican, for the conservative movement to grow. | ||
| And if he, again, if he didn't want to be the person in charge, if he wanted a more backstage presence, he would have been the guy that Ron McDaniels goes to and is like, please, please, please, who do you like? | ||
| Please give us money to support them. | ||
| And it would have been a position of influence that I ultimately hope there is a young millennial with good American first values Having, but right now Vivek is sort of the leader in this category. | ||
| I'm kind of leaning towards just banning super PACs and PACs. | ||
| It's tough because this conversation has come up quite a bit in the past 10 plus years where you have the Citizens United ruling, a question of whether or not you can give unlimited funds to super PACs, what are the rules, and we all know that these politicians are coordinating with their PACs and their super PACs. | ||
| They're just not formally coordinating. | ||
| So, someone goes out to dinner. | ||
| You know, a guy that I met, my neighbor meets a guy, and they talk about what the plan is, and then I tell them my plan, and he tells them the plan, and then everyone enacts the same plan. | ||
| We get it, we get it. | ||
| But my view is, right now... | ||
| A lot of these kingmakers, as you mentioned, you've got people who work in big corporations and they're effectively shadow candidates. | ||
| They fund someone else to stand in front. | ||
| The argument for getting rid of super PACs and restricting contributions to any politician is that only the rich would be able to run. | ||
| And my answer is, I don't care about rich people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's already like that. | |
| You look at all those people that run, they're all hyper-rich, like they're all millionaires. | ||
| But I don't even care! | ||
| If you're rich, congratulations! | ||
| My issue is when some ultra-wealthy dude who works at a major pharmaceutical company says, I don't want to leave my $13 million a year job, so I'll just give $5 million to this PAC to get a guy elected who will work for me. | ||
| Make them have to do it! | ||
| Make them have to resign from their positions or hand off the position and then run for their $144,000 a year job. | ||
| They're not going to want to do it. | ||
| What was it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
$174,000? | |
| What's the salary? | ||
| I think it's $174,000, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Whatever. | ||
| That's my point. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| There's a lot of pitfalls there. | ||
| The argument is, you have a right to spend money how you want, if you want to buy commercials, you can. | ||
| And then people argue, all that'll happen is, billionaires will buy commercials for candidates. | ||
| And so it's an issue of, yeah, okay, you just don't allow that, but it's almost impossible to restrict, because of free speech. | ||
| You know, if I want to say, you know, I like this policy, should I be banned from buying ads saying it? | ||
| It's impossible to actually figure out where the line's going to be in legislating something like this. | ||
| Yeah, it's really difficult. | ||
| I think, ultimately, there's no way to divorce American politics from the influence of wealth, and maybe there should be more safeguards in place. | ||
| I think the thing that I am most interested in is The way that wealth could influence smaller elections, but we actually see more political donors, even at, you know, the elite level, become active at the presidential. | ||
| I would like to see people who have the money, like, maybe there shouldn't be super PACs, but either way, in the current system that we have, wealthy donors hopefully would be more active on a local and state level and not just only come out every four years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the donor class is always going to exist. | |
| There's really nothing you can do to stop the donor class from giving people money. | ||
| I want to jump to this story from NBC News. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| How the GOP muzzled the quiet coalition that fought foreign propaganda. | ||
| Ooh, that sounds like the GOP's up to no good. | ||
| What's this all about? | ||
| The FBI put a pause on briefings with tech companies due to an ongoing lawsuit, adding to a broader breakdown in a system meant to guard against influence operations and to ensure election integrity. | ||
| I don't buy it for a second. | ||
| These people are evil as evil can be. | ||
| But let me read you the opening paragraph. | ||
| A once robust alliance of federal agencies, tech companies, election officials, and researchers that work together to thwart foreign propaganda and disinformation has fragmented after years of sustained Republican attacks. | ||
| Man, it just reads like propaganda. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Publicans are so mean to the FBI, they just start ruining their lives. | |
| So an illegal and unconstitutional conspiracy between intelligence agencies and tech companies to silence the opinions of American citizens has been thwarted. | ||
| And they're crying about it. | ||
| You know what's really funny? | ||
| When these things happen, The one thing you gotta do is look to who gets laid off. | ||
| What's this? | ||
| Around the same time that NBC is reporting the fracturing of this government coalition, there's a bunch of layoffs being reported at various digital media outlets. | ||
| I wonder why that is. | ||
| How much do you want to bet the federal government is illicitly supplying funding to digital media companies to hire people specifically for the purpose of lying to manipulate the public? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Didn't Vice just lay off some more people and then Jubilee completely shut down? | |
| Jezebel's gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Jezebel. | |
| But that's just a public service, you know, that's good for everyone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No coincidence. | |
| Yeah, no coincidence. | ||
| And they're like, you know what? | ||
| Our business isn't aligned. | ||
| And I'm not saying that these companies are funded by the CIA or anything like that, but there are If you do the research, and there's a lot of stories that we've talked about over the years, and stories that I've covered several years ago, you do often see this. | ||
| There is government programs that provide funding that typically get used for propagandistic efforts. | ||
| We know that the federal government provides craploads of monies to public radio, which gets... They do this game where it's like NPR doesn't get government funding, and then it turns out that, no, some other organization gets funding, which then provides funding to NPR, so it's circuitous, but we see what you're doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The CIA would never, never fund something to further push their interests. | |
| They've never done that, right? | ||
| But I do think it's interesting. | ||
| And that's all I'm saying. | ||
| I am not saying I have any evidence. | ||
| Honestly, it's very interesting that whenever you get these stories of, like, government programs ending, there's a bunch of layoffs in the corporate press. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Huh. | |
| How about that? | ||
| How about that? | ||
| So, uh, what's the story about? | ||
| The tech companies were colluding with the government to suppress the free speech of American citizens in violation of the First Amendment. | ||
| They got caught. | ||
| The Republicans are shutting them down, and now they're whinging about it. | ||
| Do you think people read this first sentence, a once-robust alliance of federal agencies, tech companies, election officials, and researchers, and think, these are the people I want to have in a robust alliance? | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are the good guys. | |
| Yeah, these are the good ones. | ||
| This sounds like it really is looking out for me. | ||
| It's ruining the word integrity. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It means the opposite, right? | ||
| But I just wonder if the average American looks at this and says, oh, they are trying to pull it over me because people don't trust the government. | ||
| Some do. | ||
| Some portions of voters really trust it, but a lot of voters are skeptical of it. | ||
| And so it makes me think, if you saw these words strung together, you'd be like, this is a good thing. | ||
| We don't want this once-robust alliance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But the way they write it, they act like it's such a big tragedy. | |
| These people are abject evil. | ||
| I'm sorry, the CCP is evil. | ||
| I can't speak too much to Vladimir Putin because I don't know enough about Russia, but he appears to do many things that I would describe as self-interested and evil. | ||
| But the CCP, I think, takes the cake. | ||
| Russia may be a bit more vague and nebulous in terms of... CCP's bad, though. | ||
| CCP is just abject evil. | ||
| We can see the things they do in terms of militaristic expansion, the way they seize property, the way they control the lives of the people who live in China, the videos of people being tortured by police. | ||
| Yeah, it's not a fun place to live. | ||
| I'm not saying Russia is, but, you know, they're not as bad as the CCP. | ||
| Still, I'm not a big fan of Putin. | ||
| But these intelligence agencies and the things they're doing, this is evil. | ||
| I'm sorry, they might sit there and think I'm the good guy. | ||
| No, you're a crackpot evil despot who thinks that your life is better than someone else's and you have a right to dictate what they think and do. | ||
| You don't. | ||
| You don't. | ||
| I'll tell you what my view is. | ||
| My view is more like, if the American people believe stupid things, they're allowed to believe stupid things. | ||
| And then the intelligence agencies are like, but, but we have to go fight Putin. | ||
| And if the American people are doing stupid things, we'll fail. | ||
| I'm like, that's too bad. | ||
| A decentralized system is better than a centralized one. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| If it is that 60% of the Americans are so dumb they vote for a dumb policy which causes problems for this country and serious ones, it is better than if you have one crackpot who believes tons of crackpot things and then drives the country into the toilet. | ||
| What appears to be happening now is this country is no longer operating in a decentralized | ||
| way. | ||
| So we are getting hyper centralized, ideologically driven crackpot decisions by the deep state, | ||
| which is destroying the country. | ||
| And then in the meantime, they're saying, but it's everyone else who's the problem. | ||
| Dude, let grandma post her stupid memes on Facebook. | ||
| Let people be wrong, and let the best ideas win. | ||
| When you try to control everything, and regulate everything, we, look, there's a great meme Luke posted, Luke Wachowski posted, and it's the private sector from 1950 to today, and the public sector from 1950 to today. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| The private sector, it's like, you know, this gigantic box computer in a warehouse, and then a cell phone. | ||
| And the public sector, it's everything's the exact same. | ||
| Nothing improves. | ||
| What these people do is they're stuck in this stagnant reality where they can't adjust to the changing world, and they think that the solutions are going to be 50-year-old solutions. | ||
| They think that they have to control the minds of the American people, but this stagnates our ability to solve our own problems. | ||
| So how about you let grandma post her memes, you shut up, and we'll vote for who we want to vote for? | ||
| Because we would be infinitely better off if Donald Trump won in 2020 than where we are today, with a crippled economy on the verge of World War III. | ||
| Hey, y'all lost the Ukraine war! | ||
| I don't even think Putin would have invaded if Donald Trump was president. | ||
| Here we are. | ||
| Next thing that's going to happen is China's going to invade Taiwan, and Joe Biden's going to go, oh, come on, man! | ||
| And if Donald Trump was president, at the very least, these things would be happening slower. | ||
| But I also think they probably wouldn't be happening at all. | ||

You see the parallels between how sensitive the CCP is about controlling information and about criticism within their own country. | |
| And it's almost like America is, I mean, I'd say slowly, but more now, now, fastly shifting to that same direction of you have to censor online, you have to absolutely control grandma's memes online, even if they're inaccurate or if they're accurate. | ||
| And it's like, America is essentially becoming the exact same thing that the CCP is, trying to control and centralize all this information. | ||
| And they're just so sensitive. | ||
| You can't critique the FBI. | ||
| You can't critique these agencies. | ||
| And if you do, you're going to get censored. | ||
| It makes me think about the Twitter files, right? | ||
| When Twitter files got released, mainstream media was sort of like, we don't want to acknowledge that we all knew this all along. | ||
| And now we definitely have evidence that there's collusion between tech companies and federal agencies. | ||
| And instead, later, they're like, How could you guys ruin our awesome relationship that we're actually very proud of? | ||
| It seems like such a strange world and the American voter is just expected to go along with it, right? | ||
| I think that's the most insulting part. | ||
| Communism! | ||
| They didn't expect Elon Musk to buy Twitter. | ||
| Oh, I know. | ||

It's amazing. | |
| It's a fun plot twist. | ||
| And Vijaya was crying, and I bet she cried a lot. | ||
| But not because it's like, oh no, an evil man is going to make hate speech. | ||
| No, because she's like, he's going to find what I said. | ||
| And that's what happened. | ||
| And then, you know, here's the crazy thing too. | ||
| I wish that Elon just dumped all of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| He didn't. | ||
| It was select. | ||
| It was search. | ||
| And there's reasons for it. | ||
| I mean, there's going to be stuff in there about passwords. | ||
| There's going to be stuff in there about financials. | ||
| That's too bad. | ||
| I really wish he was just like, I bought Twitter and I'm going to publish everything. | ||
| Their entire servers are now open to the public. | ||
| Have fun. | ||

Well, Vivek, on Luke Radowski's podcast after the debate – debate, yeah, if I can speak today – he laid out almost a good five-year plan about basically releasing Twitter files, but for all social media agencies, and just really exposing how deep all of this goes and how deep the CIA and the FBI actually meddle into it. | |
| Vivek's basically going up on stage and being like, anyone who's paying attention to what's going on, I have your answers. | ||
| The problem is, to win votes, you probably have to... Like, there's a reason why these politicians behave the way they do. | ||
| Because Vivek going up there and saying, listen, this is a thing that's happening, a lot of people are going to be like, what's he talking about? | ||
| And then you're going to get Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley saying some, you know, blathering about some mindless platitudes, and it just sounds good. | ||
| I think there is a very serious division between those on Twitter and those who are not on Twitter in America. | ||
| And it is weird. | ||
| I mean, news moves much faster on Twitter and there's information that circulates that becomes fact. | ||
| Not saying it isn't fact, but, you know, becomes more publicly known. | ||
| And then you'll get voters who don't use Twitter or who are just only really on Instagram, maybe check Facebook once in a while. | ||
| And I honestly applaud those people, right? | ||
| They're probably just living their lives, having a good time. | ||
| On the other hand, they are not aware and maybe they would feel the urgency. | ||
| But they aren't moving as rapidly as everyone else. | ||
| It's like painful to watch every day, but you have to. | ||
| Otherwise, if you miss a week, then you miss so much. | ||
| But some people can't. | ||
| They have other things to do. | ||
| You know the meme of the two guys on the bus, and one guy's looking at the dreary rocks, and the other guy's looking at the valley and the sun? | ||
| And the guy looking at the sun is smiling, and the guy looking at the cliff is sad. | ||
| Someone posted that. | ||
| I don't want to drag the wrong account, but it was an account I follow. | ||
| And the guy looking at the dreary cliffside, it said people who read the news, or people who watch the news. | ||
| And then the people smiling, it said people who don't watch the news. | ||
| And I was like, the problem with that is that it's technically the other way around. | ||
| A lot of people are like, man, the news is so depressing though. | ||
| Yeah, but here's the thing. | ||
| What it should be is, if you want to do that, the guy who's watching the news is sad, but he's alive, and the guy who's not watching the news has a bunch of needles in his back, has a guy stealing money out of his back pocket, his kids are being dragged away by a creepo, and he's just like, I have no idea what's going on and I don't care and it makes me happy. | ||
| It's like, let the world collapse all around you, let your children be indoctrinated and groomed, your money be taken to blow up kids, to get injected full of crazy whatever drugs a doctor, you know, is claiming you gotta get, and that's when you don't know what's going on in the world. | ||
| You don't pay attention, you and your family suffer, and the future generations suffer. | ||

Those are the same people that, you know, say, oh, as long as it doesn't affect me doing X or this, you know, if I get, as long as I can get a beer at the end of the day, then, uh, you know, it doesn't worry me. | |
| It worries you very quickly when things start hitting the fan as they are right now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think, sorry, are you gonna say something? | ||
| Oh, I was just gonna say, Tim, we had, uh, I think, um, Genocide Losing My Mind reached, was there a year anniversary for that a couple days ago? | ||
| I was reading a comment and someone was like, Anyone back here a year later thinking, like, wow, they knew ahead of time. | ||
| Crazy, because, like, it was before the Ukraine thing. | ||
| I mean, 80% of that song was written 20 years ago. | ||
| True, but it was just kind of funny how we had put that video out and, like, the bridge is just, like... | ||
| Mostly peaceful drone strike. | ||
| The world is ending, here's why it's a good thing. | ||
| Yeah, we're making fun of the media and then they're doing exactly what we joked. | ||
| Thank you for the plot ideas. | ||
| Nobody beats the Babylon Bee. | ||
| They wrote that article and it said woke activist and skinhead try arguing but end up agreeing on everything and then someone was like Babylon Bee strikes again and there's an article saying like why are neo-nazis joining pro-Palestinian protests? | ||
| Speaking of that Ryan Long and Danny Polashuk video where it has like the hardcore racist guy and someone who's like in BLM. | ||
| Every opinion is exactly aligned. | ||
| It's so great. | ||
| Welcome to the modern era, man. | ||
| What a crazy time to be alive. | ||
| It is a crazy time to be alive. | ||
| And I think that's the thing that I love about people who don't really engage with the news is like, They've got enough on their plate. | ||
| They can probably tell you everything that's going on in their hometown, in their office. | ||
| They know everyone's birthday because their brain is not occupied with trying to keep up with everything. | ||
| I think it's important to be engaged and be aware. | ||
| On the other hand, I'm sure people who are obsessively following the news miss all kinds of things and they're personalized. | ||
| You have to have a balance of these things. | ||
| Let's jump to this story from the American Survey Center. | ||
| Looks like it's an American Enterprise Institute. | ||
| Generation Z and the transformation of American adolescence. | ||
| How Gen Z's formative experiences shape its politics, priorities, and future. | ||
| And I need only throw it to Matthew Iglesias so we can give you the breakdown of one of the most important things they found. | ||
| Lo and behold, my friends. | ||
| Gen Z support for same-sex marriage drops from 2021 to 2023. | ||
| In 2021, Gen Z 80% supported same-sex marriage. | ||
| Today, it is 69% lower than Millennials. | ||
| Higher than Gen X and higher than Boomers, but lower than Millennials. | ||
| Now that's really, really interesting. | ||
| Millennials' approval for same-sex marriage went up. | ||
| Generation X went up, and boomers went up, and Gen Z went down. | ||
| So, what Matthew Iglesias says is that it's probably a fluke. | ||
| However, he goes on to say, I do think we now have a good amount of evidence that Zoomers are gonna be more conservative than Millennials, but this particular finding is just really fishy. | ||
| Sure, that may be, but the data shows it. | ||
| And we have that right now. | ||
| But we can see that there's, interestingly, I'll tell you exactly why this is happening. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| Gen Z's unique teen experiences. | ||
| Percentage of Americans who report participating in or experiencing the following in their teen years. | ||
| Gen Z. Regularly attended religious services. | ||
|
unidentified
|
52%. | |
| Millennials, 58. | ||
| Gen X, 64. | ||
| Boomers, 71. | ||
| Gen Z is down in religious experiences. | ||
| Had a part-time job, 58%. | ||
| Millennials, 70. | ||
| Gen X, 79. | ||
| Boomers, 82. | ||
| Had a boyfriend or girlfriend, 56%. | ||
| Once again, Millennials, 69, 76, 78. | ||
| Drank alcohol or smoked pot or cigarettes occasionally. | ||
| Gen Z, absolutely not smoking and drinking. | ||
| And then felt lonely or isolated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
61%. | |
| Millennials, 57. | ||
| Generation X, 44. | ||
| Boomers, 36. | ||
| You want to know why it is that Gen Z probably had a huge pushback against same-sex marriage in the past two years? | ||
| It's laid out exactly right here. | ||
| They are lonely, they are isolated, they don't have significant others, and they're feeling like this weird, neo-woke, whatever you want to call it, world, this cultural world, is causing them relationship problems they don't see in the older generations. | ||
| So interestingly, Gen Z looks to Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers, and they're probably thinking, how come they were able to do it? | ||
| What's going on today is bullish, and it sucks! | ||
| And then the old generation, who has it, are like, we should be more accepting and progressive, causing problems for the young people. | ||
| I also think, outside of all of this, the biggest and most important component here is, liberals don't have kids. | ||
| And 20 years ago, when Gen Z was being created in passionate lovemaking, More conservatives had kids than liberals, and that means there are more Gen Z conservatives than liberals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, and conservatives weren't killing their kids at mass rallies like liberals do. | |
| But that's what I mean. | ||
| Liberals not only don't have kids, they abort their kids. | ||
| They're now getting into practices which can result in the sterilization of their kids. | ||
| Conservatives are still having less kids for sure. | ||
| But I tell people when they say, oh, indoctrination, it doesn't matter. | ||
| It doesn't matter because two reasons. | ||
| One, More conservative kids, no matter what, means more conservative future. | ||
| No matter what. | ||
| There's only so much indoctrinating can do, and it can convince people, it can change people, but it can't be as pronounced as literal biological reality of human beings who are created in conservative spaces. | ||
| So, like, the indoctrination needs to take place in areas where the left has control or is taking control. | ||
| But conservatives are pushing back in the culture war, which means they're losing. | ||
| But more importantly, One of the most important things outside of biological reality is the economic reality. | ||
| Even the child of a leftist family is now wondering why it is they can't find a boyfriend or girlfriend, they can't find a job, and they feel so lonely. | ||
| And they're looking around them and saying, everything we have is worse than what it used to be. | ||
| And so you're going to get people who are going to keep saying, return. | ||
| How about the V, you know what I mean? | ||
| I love this chart because it just tells you the baby boomers were out living life and then we restricted lockdown and plugged in Gen Z. I mean every generation here got progressively more online and Gen Z was the first generation to live through a lockdown. | ||
| No, but these experiences, the culture, the community are really valuable things. | ||
| They shape who people are. | ||
| And so the idea that Gen Z is worse off is because they are actually isolated, right? | ||
| They are unhappy. | ||
| And so they're looking around and saying, we talked about this once, the fact that Gen Z, especially on TikTok, they're obsessively trying on different fashion trends from decades before. | ||
| And they're saying, We wanted what you guys had. | ||
| We're trying to find what this is. | ||
| They want the baby boomer life where they can go out without their cell phone and go get, you know, drunk in the woods with their teenage friends or whatever kids did because they can't do these things because their life is perpetually online and they have no social community. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When you see how cancerous the dating pools are nowadays too. | |
| Oh, it's insane. | ||
| This not had a boyfriend or girlfriend. | ||
| I'm sorry, but baby boomers didn't have the situationship. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like they actually did something about it. | ||
| I have the answer for Gen Z. Listen, if you are wondering, go to church. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| I went to church when I was a kid, stopped going around 12, never went again. | ||
| But I'm telling you, it's not about just like some faith in God or anything. | ||
| It is about being part of a community that looks out for each other. | ||
| And if you don't want to do that, that's fine. | ||
| You need to find a community and build one up. | ||
| See, the issue is for the boomers, 71% were going to religious services. | ||
| So, of course, they were able to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. | ||
| Of course, they did not feel as lonely or isolated. | ||
| Surprisingly, they drank and smoked way more. | ||
| And this is pot, or alcohol, or cigarettes. | ||
| So they're probably all smoking cigarettes, to be fair. | ||
| But the reality is, when you look at this chart, Religious, regularly attending religious services means they are constantly in a social environment. | ||
| And Gen Z? | ||
| Less likely to do so. | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
| I saw this video. | ||
| It went viral like a year ago of this moderately attractive, like, 24-year-old woman talking about how she was basically an incel. | ||
| She stayed at home all day, she had no boyfriend, and she posted things on the internet. | ||
| And I'm like, that's weird. | ||
| Like, I can understand that for a 24-year-old guy who does not know how to do these things, but I was, like, surprised to learn, man, even for young women, they're experiencing many of these similar things because it's not about whether you're a man or a woman for the most part, it's whether or not you know how to socialize or you are a terminally online person. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's almost like skewing gender roles is a bad thing for dating. | |
| It's almost like women are supposed to be women and men are supposed to be men, and we have a mutually beneficial relationship, and when you start to skew that, it makes people more lonely. | ||
| I mean, no man is going to go hang out with another man that was a woman, and you're not going to seek that exact same relationship. | ||
| I mean, some of you might, but it doesn't work out. | ||
| I think it progresses into marriage too, right? | ||
| I mean, as soon as we sent women to the workforce, we saw a complete collapse in their more traditional roles. | ||
| Like, volunteering went down. | ||
| This is typically something women manage in the home. | ||
| It's typically women who organize the social calendar. | ||
| And so if you have two working people who are obsessed all the time plugged into their laptop job, The idea that there's community that they foster among themselves and among their children just completely goes away. | ||
| People don't realize how important the gender roles were for society. | ||
| They think it's just something that happened to oppressed women. | ||
| Take a look at this one. | ||
| Gen Z adults spent less time with friends as teenagers. | ||
| This is crazy to me. | ||
| Gen X, 60% said during most or all of my teen years they hung out with friends. | ||
| 29% said during some of their teen years and 11% said not at all. | ||
| Only 40% of Gen Z says during most or all of their teen years they regularly hung out with friends. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| If someone asked me, during all of my teen years, all I did was regularly hang out with my friends. | ||
| Yo, there were points in my life when I was like 14, I wouldn't go home. | ||
| I would stay over at my friend's house all night and we'd play N64 like the four of us. | ||
| I had friends, we were in a band together. | ||
| Then I started skateboarding. | ||
| My friend group got bigger. | ||
| All we would do is go out and skateboard all the time. | ||
| And then when I stopped going to high school after a couple months, all we did was go out every single day and skateboard. | ||
| It is crazy to me to think that there were kids in Gen Z that literally were not hanging out with friends. | ||
| But think about the effect of COVID, right? | ||
| The internet and COVID. | ||
| There was literally years that high schoolers went from being like, like, I know people who were freshmen in high school the year lockdown happened, right? | ||
| Then for the next basically two years... But is that Gen Z? | ||
| Yeah, they'd be Gen Z. Yeah. | ||
| And so they wouldn't be in school. | ||
| I mean, this is true of a lot of people. | ||
| And if you're not, I mean, this is true in a lot of situations. | ||
| You have to start making friends too in order to maintain friendship. | ||
| So if they never got that introduction, especially during this age where socializing is actually something the brain desperately needs to practice, then you are... It's more challenging to make friends, it gets more comfortable to stay online and talk on anonymous, you know, internet forums, whatever else. | ||
| The internet is good in a lot of ways, but ultimately I think a lot of people have been using it to avoid practicing normal social skills that baby boomers just did because that was how we operated in society. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| So, uh, influence on parental education. | ||
| Kids who had two parents were more likely, substantially more likely, to take private art or music lessons, play in a competitive sport, regularly attend religious services, and substantially less likely to drink alcohol, smoke pot, or cigarettes occasionally. | ||
| Unsurprising that two-parent homes are better. | ||
| Now, With no degree. | ||
| That's college degree, which is interesting. | ||
| Two parents with no degree was less likely than single parents to play a competitive sport. | ||
| I think that would make sense. | ||
| Single parent probably says, I'm gonna drop my kid off at soccer practice so I can go take care of business and then come back later. | ||
| But still regularly attended religious services. | ||
| Still less likely to drink and smoke pot. | ||
| Still more likely to take private art or music lessons. | ||
| Single parent across the board seems to have it the worst. | ||
| And I think that's increasing. | ||
| There was a viral post, it's probably fake, but it was like a woman saying she was seeking a sperm | ||
|
unidentified
|
donor. | |
| And I think I had a video of this earlier. | ||
| There's a black market sperm donation thing happening on Facebook, where women are like, | ||
| I'm trying to get pregnant, so I need a donor. | ||
| And it's just like, it's the weirdest thing. | ||
| This is what's what what has evolved of procreation. | ||
| I seriously think we're going towards pod babies because women are like, I'm going to keep my there's a movie about it. | ||
| I forgot what it's called, but it's like a woman wants to have a kid, but she's a careerist. | ||
| So she ends up getting a pod where the baby grows in a thing and they put in the closet. | ||
| Which is a metaphor for motherhood there, right? | ||
| She's gonna have it happen somewhere where she's not actually having to deal with it at all. | ||
| Well, you bring it to work, and then you put it in the closet. | ||
| But it's like, it's kind of a bad ending anyway. | ||
| But I think that's definitely where we're going. | ||
| One of the big trends now is that women are seeking unvaccinated sperm only. | ||
| But in one of those posts, the woman was like, I want to, you know, I want a man to come and donate in person, the natural way, and then leave, and I'll take care of the baby on my own. | ||
| This means that baby has only a mom. | ||
| This is a recipe for disaster for society. | ||
| Target sells insemination kits now. | ||
| What?! | ||
| Yes, breaking news from me on air! | ||
| They sell it next to like all of the like sexual care items, you know, tampons or whatever else and condoms. | ||
| Since when? | ||
| I don't know since when, I just noticed it a couple- Men don't know about these things, I guess. | ||
| Next to condoms, it seems counterproductive. | ||
| Cause it's all like, the aisles are near each other. | ||
| I'm not gonna talk about my shopping habits, but you know, like, the thing is, if you're trying to buy any kind of care item for women, they'll put them next to, like, whatever. | ||
| It's saying, you don't need men for this. | ||
| This is not something you need. | ||
| I mean, theoretically, it could be an ode to the same-sex community, right? | ||
| They're saying, young lesbian couple, we have something you are looking for. | ||

How empowering. | |
| You don't need to get it from Jeff Bezos. | ||
| Holy crap. | ||

It won't be full for long. | |
| That video where the scientist is walking through the room, there's all the babies in the pods, we're almost there. | ||
| They grew that goat or whatever, that lamb in the bag. | ||
| Right, so we are getting really close to being able to grow life in bags. | ||
| I'm sorry, we can already do it. | ||
| The question is, will the government allow people to grow humans? | ||
| In that movie where they grow babies in the pods, they passively... You know why the movie was bad? | ||
| Spoiler alerts, everybody. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| The movie was bad because they did not explore the ramifications of pod babies. | ||
| It was just about people who had a pod baby. | ||
| The issue is, at one point in the movie, they're like, um, my child was born through your services. | ||
| He doesn't dream. | ||
| And they never answer what this is about and I'm just like, perhaps it has no soul or something like that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But is that sort of what they're saying, right? | ||
| People who are trying to outsource having to carry children are also not actually that interested in the children that they create. | ||
| They don't care if they can't dream. | ||
| They might raise it as a red flag, but ultimately it's about themselves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's almost like a trophy. | |
| That's how, I mean, I feel like childbearing in general is going, especially when you have, like, the same-sex couples just buying kids now. | ||
| It almost just seems like a trophy at this point. | ||
| And they're less caring about, you know, having a mom and a dad in a traditional family. | ||
| Sorry, we have to ignore that muscled-ass table. | ||
| It looked like a COVID test of some kind, and it was like, all of a sudden, it was like... It's like a jelly... You know those things they use to put the jelly in the jelly donuts? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I hate it here. | ||
| This is gross. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jelly Donuts forever ruined. | |
| Next up, Target selling sperm too. | ||
| Hey, we are talking about the struggles of Gen Z and how they want to have families and why their policies are changing and you mention Target selling at-home insemination kits. | ||
| But isn't that weird that Target is like- We men did not bring this up. | ||
| It's weird to me that Target would be like, well, let's just embrace the fact that we actually don't care if children have fathers present. | ||
| We're just trying to see that you can have a child and we don't really care what happens. | ||
| I think, you know, your family planning... | ||
| Business is your own, but I think ultimately we would like a culture where it wasn't just widely accepted that we expect the family unit to be broken. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm calling it now. | |
| At all like these pride rallies and stuff, you're going to start seeing target insemination kits being given out. | ||
| You're going to see it in a few years. | ||
| It does seem like a logical next step. | ||
| No, but I mean, this is the other thing. | ||
| You know, way- I think in like 2012 Pew Research released a study saying that the children of same-sex couples ultimately are not as- they don't thrive the way children of heterosexual couples do. | ||
| And this always makes people mad, right? | ||
| Because they're like, how dare you question the same-sex community? | ||
| But ultimately you can't live in a universe where you acknowledge that Same-sex parents are not the same as heterosexual parents, especially when we know fatherlessness is one of the main reasons that children struggle with, you know, like women are more likely to experience depregnancy if their father's not home, men are more likely to be incarcerated if their father's not in the home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the violent rates especially, too. | |
| Children tend to be significantly more violent if they're raised in a single-person household with just a mother. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's no coincidence. | ||
| I mean, there was that first grader who brought his mom's gun to school and shot his teacher. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| He's raised by a single parent. | ||
| It's not to blame her for anything. | ||
| Well, a single mother specifically, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| So my question when we were talking about this on the Culture War podcast was, are we not tracking for the detrimental effects on single father families? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I'm wondering if... Children raised by single fathers do better than single mothers. | |
| But better by what metrics? | ||
| So what we find is in education and less likely to commit crime, less likely to do drugs, are we checking mental health and social well-being along with that? | ||
| Because I would wonder this based on just like a general biased view of women tend to be more focused on social issues, men tend to be... Women are subjective, men are objective. | ||
| So When you have a mom and a dad, the dad is the disciplinarian or he's the tough guy, he's the leader, but the mom is the nurturing and the caring and the social. | ||
| So my question would be, would we be able to track over large populations that if a child is raised only by a father, they're less likely to be emotive, artistic, creative, but more likely to be disciplined and, you know, not doing drugs and stuff like that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Seems like it would check out. | ||
| But I'm saying, like, we don't actually have studies that track these things because we are concerned as a society with, are they committing crimes and going to jail because we have to pay for them. | ||
| If someone's like, I'm into math and not literature, it's like, okay, we don't really care. | ||
| You're allowed. | ||
| So that's why we say, you know, single father families do better than single mother. | ||
| But then I think for the holistic human experience, without in either capacity is going to be bad for us. | ||
| Yeah, I think you need both, and I think that's ideal, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Traditional family W. It's just, it's good. | |
| You don't need two of each. | ||
| I mean, I have heard that, and I don't want to say this with so much confidence, but I had read once that having, like, children whose moms stay at home with their young read earlier. | ||
| Like, I've read that there are benefits to that, but you're right. | ||
| Ultimately, are they, you know, having children as children and are they going to jail is sort of something we're measuring more intensely because it has an effect on the taxpayer. | ||
| Hey, men! | ||
| This is really interesting right here. | ||
| Nearly half of white Gen Z women are liberal, but that is the headline I would not use. | ||
| Percentage of white Americans who are liberal, the majority of white Gen Z are conservative. | ||
| The majority of white millennials are conservative. | ||
| The majority of white Gen X and boomers, the majority across the board for white people in this country, they're conservative. | ||
| That's really interesting. | ||
| So, Gen Z, only 28% of Gen Z males identify as liberal. | ||
| 46% of Gen Z women identify as liberal. | ||
| I wonder if they're saying, like, liberal within, like, the confines of the traditional liberal conservative. | ||
| Or if they're saying, like, oh, I don't want to call myself liberal because I consider myself leftist. | ||
| I wonder if that's part of it. | ||
| I don't know how much that would actually sway the information. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| You'd have to go into the Crosstabs, look at the questions. | ||
| For sure, for sure. | ||
| But that is a good question. | ||
| Oh, I love this. | ||
| Gen Z and Millennials were less trusting of political leaders growing up. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| And still to this day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Good work. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Good work. | ||
| Millennials and Gen Z equally based on whether or not we should trust politicians. | ||
| Yeah, I saw that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It needs to go lower. | |
| It needs to go lower for sure. | ||
| Sweet, sweet Silent Generation. | ||
| There's like three. | ||
| Yeah, look at them. | ||
| They're like, I just believe everybody. | ||
| They had no access to the information that we have now. | ||
| This is the problem with the Silent Generation watching their MSNBC. | ||
| They're like, but Joe Biden said it's true, so it is. | ||
| And he would not lie. | ||
| He is the president of the United States. | ||
| This is really fascinating. | ||
| Video games and online gaming. | ||
| Seven in ten Gen Z men played video games in the past week. | ||
| I played video games literally like three hours ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I played video games right before we came on this podcast. | |
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| Literally ten seconds. | ||
| See, that was work. | ||
| Because you were playing an entertaining show called Gaming Mates. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fair enough, we were streaming. | |
| What were you playing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was just Mario Kart. | |
| Oh, Mario Kart. | ||
| I was playing Baldur's Gate 3. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Yeah, I've beaten the game like 47 times already, but there's just so many different stories and pathways you | ||
| can take. | ||
| Look at this, Gen Z 71% played video games. | ||
| But even more women play. | ||
| Yeah, but they're playing Candy Crush. | ||
| I mean, even if they're playing Sims 2, they are online. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| They're doing whatever they are. | ||
| They're avoiding all social interaction at a higher level. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It looks like, look at this graph compared to the graph of loneliness in Gen Z amongst men too, because men are now going to video games for their social outlet. | |
| I gotta play video games with my friends. | ||
| Gen Z, listen. | ||
| Gen Z men. | ||
| If 71% of Gen Z men are playing video games and 41% of Gen Z women are playing video games, that means that right now, outside, there is a disproportionate amount of females Two men. | ||
| That means it's almost two to one. | ||
| Two to one for every two Gen Z women, there's one guy not playing a video game. | ||
| Well, there's your opportunity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go get them, Tigers. | |
| Maybe at work, though. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's fair. | |
| The ones with the part-time jobs. | ||
| I think the challenge, too, is if you take a look back at the other metric, Uh, these Gen Z men, they're like, look, you got 72% of Gen Z men are not liberal, and 46% of Gen Z women are, of white Americans. | ||
| And so they're probably meeting women and the women are like, are you into insert insane psychotic woke thing? | ||
| And they're like, no, thanks. | ||
| Have a nice day. | ||
| I'm not interested. | ||
| This is another reason why they're probably like, I am sick of wokeness, I am sick of the left. | ||
| Y'all, everybody's crazy. | ||
| Dude, that's why you see this, like, this new thing about passport bros. | ||
| You know, leaving the country is because of this. | ||
| It's because they can't stand it. | ||
| I know that from personal experience, it's like you can't... Passport bros, dude. | ||
| It's reality. | ||
| It means that you leave and go to, like, say, Cambodia or Thailand or Japan, for instance, to go and find your wife because you can't find anyone. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| Back in the day, we called them mail-ordered brides and you got them from Eastern Europe. | ||
| They still exist. | ||
| I will tell you this right now, though. | ||
| Gen Z women are gay. | ||
| But hold on. | ||
| Gentlemen, gentlemen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
they are they say that majority or they definitely the majority claim to be I | |
| mean I'm at that literally the study was right here one in three Gen Z when I | ||
|
unidentified
|
know if I as LGBT that's they wonder why the dating pool is absolutely right it's | |
| so but hold on gentlemen gentlemen if women are playing video games and that | ||
| means outside it's nearly two to one for every you know it's not necessarily that | ||
| they're it's that they played a video game the past week I get it, I get it. | ||
| But my point is, if a third of Gen Z women are LGBT, that means, for these dudes, there should be tons of ladies out there, and, you know, a great opportunity for you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You just have to go out and do something about it. | ||
| I mean, this is the thing. | ||
| Yeah, that's really it. | ||
| This is the issue, right? | ||
| So, the thing about baby boomers is that they lived in a more formal culture, right? | ||
| You didn't have, I'm gonna text you on an app and then maybe we'll hook up a couple times and then we'll leave and we don't know what we're doing, whatever else. | ||
| There was more procedure in what you're doing and I think that was an open conversation in society. | ||
| It's not to say that the baby boomers were perfect, it's just that this was, this is a social norm. | ||
| That we have let go and I think that makes it harder. | ||
| I think a lot of young men don't know where to start and especially. | ||
| You know, in the day and age of Me Too, a lot of men are afraid to say, like, well, I didn't know how to approach her, so I just didn't because I didn't want to be a creep. | ||
| I didn't want to seem weird. | ||
| And so we have to reinstate avenues of pursuing women that exist in a way that everyone is like, yes, this is a good way to do it, because otherwise you were stuck between men who want to do something who feel like they can't because, you know, whatever could happen, and then men who do something about it in a really sketchy, shady way that leaves women dissatisfied. | ||
| Right, because there's still a group of People that do approach no matter what, but they're typically the creepier kind. | ||
| I gotta say, just back to the original metric we pulled up, that Gen Z supports same-sex marriage less than millennials, and it's going down. | ||
| People need to understand what that's going to mean in 10 years. | ||
| In 10 years when Gen Z are in their 30s, a large portion of economic power is going to be in the hands of people who are increasingly rejecting same-sex marriage. | ||
| This could mean within like a generation or two, you get the overturning of Oberfell. | ||
| It does not matter, or I should say it matters very little, that you convince someone of your ideas. | ||
| It matters that young people are growing up with the ideas and then eventually take over the economy. | ||
| See, a lot of people seem to think that a lot of what goes on in politics is we're in a constant battle of trying to convince someone to agree or disagree and there's people in the middle being like, well I just don't know! | ||
| Nah, the reality is, how many young people grew up in an environment where they firmly believe, based on their worldview, a thing is more or less likely to be correct. | ||
| And so this is what's happening. | ||
| For whatever reason, Gen Z has rapidly rejected same-sex marriage. | ||
| Gen Z's gonna have kids. | ||
| If this trend is among them, what's the trend gonna be among Gen Alpha? | ||
| And what comes after Alpha? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| It doesn't even matter, you know? | ||
| You're all conservatives. | ||
| But here's what's fascinating. | ||
| It was 2018 when we saw that Gen Z was slightly more conservative in certain areas, and now it's being replicated years later in different ways. | ||
| I'm telling you, man, it's going to get... I can't see the liberals on the left winning the culture war in the long run. | ||
| It's funny because I've been saying it, and now we've got more data aligning to my view of what's going to happen. | ||
| If winning generational support is a long-term game, do you think that the left got too confident that they pushed the envelope too far? | ||
| Initially they said, oh, just don't go to church and maybe, you know, let, let, you know, people marry each other. | ||
| And now they're like, and also erase gender. | ||
| And that was like one step too far. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think, I think the gender is really what's the whole gender confusion and everything that they've been pushing so hard down everybody's throats. | |
| I think that's what's going to tip the scales in the long run. | ||
| I think in general. | ||
| Life sucks for Gen Z. Mm-hmm. | ||
| Yeah, and it's not so much that it's You know, I made a video talking about how it's entirely possible to succeed. | ||
| But it doesn't... Life is not always going to be easier for you. | ||
| A lot of people look at boomers and like, they had it so easy. | ||
| I should have it easy. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You should go start from scratch in the woods. | ||
| You ever watch that Ancient Technologies channel? | ||
| Learn to build a mud hut and survive off nothing. | ||
| There's a lot of great things that are handed to you, so it is what it is. | ||
| Not everybody's going to be rich. | ||
| But I do think Gen Z is struggling with depression. | ||
| They're struggling with, like we already saw, loneliness. | ||
| isolation, and they're going to blame the structures that were created by the generations before them, | ||
| but interestingly, they're going to want back what the boomers had, which is kind of crazy. | ||
| Yeah. What was the percentage of boomer women who identified as LGBT? | ||
| Oh, it's non-existent. Three percent. Three! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, things are looking up, guys. | |
| Things are looking up. | ||
| How much of this is Gen Z women just saying that because they think they need to fit in? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, a lot of it. | |
| Even so, though, that may be a reason why the dudes are so pissed and they're like, yeah, we don't want this because that's lowering our dating pool by like 70%. | ||
| I think dudes want wives. | ||
| They do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's almost like it's in our inherent nature to seek the opposite sex. | |
| It's like literally how we're hardwired and now that the dating pool is so skewed and so messed up, men don't have anywhere to go. | ||
| And that is ultimately going to build frustration until it hits a breaking point. | ||
| And I think these graphs pretty much show that. | ||
| Take a look at this one. | ||
| Most Gen Z men say they are not feminists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Good. | ||
| Yeah, interestingly, Gen Z males and Gen X males are comparable. | ||
| Guess what, ladies and gentlemen? | ||
| Which generation created Gen Z? | ||
| Gen X. Gen X did, yeah. | ||
| So, I can't tell you why Gen X created a whole bunch of feminist babies, uh, female ones, but the dudes are comparable to their dads. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| Sorry, you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was going to say, it's probably the shift in the workforce of women becoming the boss girls. | |
| That's probably the shift with feminism. | ||
| I think that's part of it. | ||
| Also, every generation of women, like the majority, identify as feminists. | ||
| And so they think they're doing the right thing. | ||
| They think they're doing what their moms want them to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Most of them don't even know what feminism means. | |
| Here's the funniest thing. | ||
| Gen Z women are most likely to report being treated disrespectfully by the opposite sex. | ||
| I don't believe this is related to being disrespected. | ||
| I think it's related to the hyper-woke-ification and expectations. | ||
| So, when you have that video, five hours of walking through New York as a woman, and quite literally a man saying, hi, is considered sexual harassment, women are gonna be like, I was harassed today when a guy waved to me! | ||
| Also... | ||
| They all said they're lonely and they're not interacting with anyone. | ||
| They don't hang out with their friends. | ||
| So when are they being spoken to inappropriately? | ||
| Perhaps on the video games online? | ||
| They're anonymous and there's no social check to say you can't talk to women that way? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, and if you've ever played Call of Duty and been in one of those game chats, that's kind of the whole point. | |
| So I think they should interact with real men in real life and see if this is the same thing. | ||
| It's also more socially expected among Gen Z and Millennials, but more so among Gen Z, walking up to a stranger in public is taboo. | ||
| Which is, it's so crazy to me. | ||
| Even for Millennials, a lot of people think it's very difficult to walk up to a stranger and talk to them. | ||
| I would be surprised if boomers, I'd be willing to bet, if we did a survey and said, Would it be strange, or would you find it difficult to approach a stranger and greet them and ask them how their day is going? | ||
| Boomers would have it be very low, Gen X lower, and then it would be the highest among Gen Z. Like, absolutely not. | ||
| There's all these videos where, like I mentioned, five hours of walking in New York. | ||
| What was the one that just, what's her face? | ||
| That one Twitter woman made a video of five hours of walking through New York as a gay woman holding hands with another woman. | ||
| And you know what the funny thing about these videos is? | ||
| All of them, they only ever show black people. | ||
| And the argument put forward by the woman who made that video, five hours of walking through New York, said it's because they edited the white people out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I'm sure. | ||
| I'm sure that's why. | ||
| But I mean like, are they lying? | ||
| Or did they really do it? | ||
| Because, like, you can say I'm sure, but I'm kind of like, either way, it's bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know which one you think is bad. | |
| They're intentionally trying to be racist, or... Or they're saying we edited the white people out because they didn't do anything. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| She said something like white men did harass her, but they removed it from the videos for some reason. | ||
| So either she's racist, or the white people didn't harass her, and so... | ||
| So it's like, hey, look, look, look, look, if her argument is that she's a racist, I'm willing to accept that she's a racist and she made racist propaganda. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Like, whatever hammer it is, the point is, look, if our view is, this video is BS, you're not being harassed when a guy says hi to you, I'm gonna go ahead and say, if this lady's saying she's a racist who's trying to smear a bunch of minorities, I'm gonna take her word for it and tell her her video's garbage, and it's not indicative of what's actually going on in society, because I don't think it is. | ||
| Yeah, the five hours of walking in New York thing was so weird because people showed it everywhere and they're like, it's so crazy to be a woman and be like, really? | ||
| Like, this is it? | ||
| I feel like it's not. | ||
| It was hard for me not to believe that that video was edited. | ||
| Some of it was creepy. | ||
| Like a guy walking, just walking next to her for like five blocks and then just disappearing. | ||
| I'm like, That's pretty weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, when you kind of picked the worst city to film this in, like where I would say the large majority of creeps are, if something's going to happen to you, it's probably going to be in New York. | |
| Or you can go five hours in L.A. | ||
| You're probably going to have a very special video. | ||
| How about we do this? | ||
| How about we make five hours of walking through, insert small rural Christian town, as a trad calf. | ||
| You're just doing like laps around the town because it takes you 10 minutes to get through the whole thing. | ||
| No one says anything. | ||
| You don't see anyone. | ||
| There's gonna be like a regular guy mowing as long as like, good day ma'am! | ||
| Hi! | ||
| And then she keeps walking and that's it. | ||
| I know someone who lives in a small town, a woman, and she was saying she actually loves going to the local grocery store because men are always like, you look so nice today! | ||
| Like, hope you're having a having a good day and then they leave her alone. | ||
| Like I think it's different when you're in a city and you're already feeling like you're on a guard, right? | ||
| And I'm not saying that people, men can't be creepy on the streets | ||
| and that's important to like recognize that women feel, you know, not protected. | ||
| On the other hand, like maybe that's why she'd walk around with a man who could protect you and they won't admit that. | ||
| We should do a parody video where it's like five hours of walking through a small Christian town | ||
| as a trad Catholic woman. | ||
| And it's like, she's got a basket of apples and she's skipping and there's a guy like, how do you miss? | ||
| And she's like, howdy sir. | ||
| And then she keeps walking. | ||
| cop pulls up, are you okay, are you lost or anything? | ||
| I'm gonna hit a ride somewhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| And then it's like, and then the inverse is five hours of walking through a small Christian town as a lib femme woke woman. | ||
| And it's the exact same thing. | ||
| But every time someone says something, just, ah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah! | |
| There's a guy like, how do you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah! | |
| She pepper sprays him. | ||
| Male aggression. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Y'all think I'm joking, but we're going for it. | ||
| I'm playing this video. | ||
| I did a video on this earlier. | ||
| This is a clip from Ketchup. | ||
| Ketchup feed, not ketchup as in, it's in ketchup with the news, and it says, uh, quote, I have anxiety, I'm indigenous, I'm non-binary, it's a video of a woman who was, uh, presumably driving drunk, the wrong way down the road, and she gets pulled over, and this is what, I'm sorry, Gen Z, but y'all are gonna have to, uh, have some explaining to do here, and so, uh, we're gonna play, we're gonna play this video for you right now. | ||
| Why are you driving in the wrong way of traffic? | ||

| You're going into oncoming traffic. | ||
| I know and I just decided that it was better just to turn around really f***ing quick. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But I'm sorry. | ||
| I just have like really bad social anxiety and stuff. | ||
| I get you. | ||
| But I don't want to step out whenever you're asking for Okay, well we're past that. | ||
| Let's just go ahead and step out. | ||
| Wow. | ||

| I need to know if you have any injuries. | ||
| How could I forget? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's so professional. | |
| He's like, okay, I'll remember. | ||
| Look, look, look. | ||
| Do you have any injuries? | ||
| Physical injuries? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mental. | |
| Mental, yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I get you. | ||
| Your medical history? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now with your right foot, place it in front of your left in a heel-to-toe touching manner with your arms by your side. | |
| Just like this, ma'am. | ||
| The cop is being so misgendered. | ||
| He misgendered right there, though. | ||
| I'm trying my hardest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm trying my hardest. | |
| Okay. | ||
| It means a lot to me. | ||
| I'm trying my hardest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't feel like a man, so... Okay. | |
| It's kind of triggering. | ||
| Right foot in front of your left. | ||
| Nope, go back. | ||
| This feels like it could be a parody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know! | |
| I can't walk forward now because you called Sam. | ||
| You have zero questions. | ||
| Wait, it gets crazy. | ||
| It gets crazy here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, but I just wanted to tell you that I suffer from really bad anxiety. | |
| With generational trauma and people around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right! Shouldn't be driving! | |
| With generational trauma and PTSD around... | ||
| Oh my god, dude, stop. | ||
| How old is she? She acts like her ancestors were slaves. | ||
| Generations and generations. Literally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
| It's just... | ||
| No. | ||
| Yes, ma'am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead and put your hands behind your back. | |
| Just admit that you were drunk. | ||
| Don't, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't, please. | |
| Make it hard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, you're... You're going to get a resisting charge. | |
| Dude, I... You're going to get a resisting charge. | ||
| I... Don't! | ||
| Don't resist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't! | |
| Listen to me. | ||
| Don't resist. | ||
| What does it mean you're being a white man? | ||
| I've been a white man my whole life. | ||
| It's a slur. | ||
| I did everything you said and I'm getting in trouble. | ||
| F*** you guys. | ||
| Hold on, hold on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You guys are scaring me. | |
| There's nothing to be afraid of. | ||
| What does it mean you're being a white man? | ||
| I think we all know what it means. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's nothing I can do about it. | |
| Yeah, right. | ||
| I've been a white man my whole life. | ||
| It's a slur. | ||
| She's using it like a slur. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yup. | |
| You're being a white man like he's being kind to you? | ||
| No, no, like, this is an important point. | ||
| He's arresting her. | ||
| She's getting in trouble. | ||
| She's claiming that you're harming me. | ||
| You're being a white man is an insult to someone. | ||
| Normally in her circles, I bet that works. | ||
| I bet when some guy says something like, no, I'm not going to give you the last slice of pizza. | ||
| She goes, you're being a white man. | ||
| He goes, you're right. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Here's the pizza. | ||
| This cop is like, lady, you're driving the wrong way down the road into oncoming traffic. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Sorry for electricity. | ||
| She admitted to having three beers, which is probably less than she had. | ||
| She's like resetting what she just said like five minutes ago, too. | ||
| She's saying all these things so she can be like, well, it's actually that he was being mean to me. | ||
| It wasn't that I was drunk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's my PTSD. | |
| She led with her excuses because she knows she's in the wrong. | ||
| You know, the advice that I was given was just don't do the field sobriety test. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right! | |
| And don't talk. | ||
| And your worst case scenario is they arrest you and give you the breathalyzer back at the station. | ||
| And I'm not a lawyer. | ||
| But I recommend consulting a lawyer. | ||
| More importantly, don't drink and drive, and don't go the wrong way down the road. | ||
| Well, she just moved here. | ||
| She doesn't know. | ||
| She can't read street signs. | ||
| They were different. | ||
| It's the generational trauma that makes it so that she got her license, in which you have to take a written test to get your license, but then she forgot you can't drive the wrong way down the road. | ||
| And she's like bringing her ancestors and stuff. | ||
| No, I'm sorry. | ||
| The Babylon Bees gotta make a parody of this one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They could go, I don't think you could make a parody. | |
| How could you parody it? | ||
| Is this recent? | ||
| You know, I gotta be honest, you're actually... it's probably true. | ||
| I would like a follow-up. | ||
| I want to know what happened when she got to the police station. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I bet this police officer went home to his wife and was just... He didn't even know where to tell her. | |
| That's amazing. | ||
| I might get brought up on hate crimes, but... | ||
| I mean, I would love it if she got charged with, like, some kind of hate crime charge. | ||
| I say that only, like, half seriously. | ||
| Oh, I think she should. | ||
| Because if the woke left wants all these hate crime charges, then if you insult or attack or deride a person based on their race, then you should get resisting and, like, invective or whatever. | ||
| If she had looked at him and said, you're being a black man right now, it would have been so different. | ||
| It would have been so different. | ||
| Like, can you imagine? | ||
| Especially considering he's white. | ||
| It would have been complicated then, but like, the fact that she can use your being a white man as a slur and we all kind of are like, so crazy, except in another version of this we would all be like, that's a completely inappropriate thing for her to say is actually not okay because it's treating one racial group in a way that we don't treat others. | ||
| So the reason I wanted to bring this up is we just did that, we just had that big survey showing Gen Z's changes. | ||
| Now, I mean, come on. | ||
| There are a lot of sane and rational Gen Z, and we see it in the data. | ||
| They are pushing away from this kind of insanity, and they're saying, enough. | ||
| I gotta say, like, if I was a Gen Z guy and I was seeing this, I'd be like, stop giving us a bad name, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's how I feel. | |
| I'm Gen Z, and I watch this video and I'm like, are you serious right now? | ||
| I'm with the boomers! | ||
| Leave me alone! | ||
| And this person only cares about they themselves, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They them. | |
| I did the best I could. | ||
| Kai only cares about Kai, right? | ||
| Kai does not care that Kai has been drinking and driving and could hurt someone else. | ||
| Kai does not care that Kai is going down on a retreat. | ||
| Kai has excuses. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Drinking and driving is a social construct. | |
| Right. | ||
| Kai has excuses like there's no tomorrow and ultimately everyone should care about Kai even though Kai has to care about no one else. | ||
| That's all I got from this conversation. | ||
| Why would you admit to drinking? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| That blows my mind. | ||
| Kai has generational trauma and therefore is justified. | ||
| I'm willing to bet a single parent household. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Single mother. | |
| Guaranteed. | ||
| I would say guaranteed single mother household. | ||
| Or two mothers. | ||
| One of the two. | ||
| But most likely single mother. | ||
| One thing that always really offended me, because this happened a lot when I worked at Fusion. | ||
| Fusion was very leftist and woke. | ||
| And that whole trend started about the talk. | ||
| And you had those commercials where it's like, you know, black families have to give their kids the talk. | ||
| And I was like, whoa, what's that? | ||
| And then they showed, they played these videos where it was like a black father talking to his son and be like, when you get pulled over, turn the dome light on, engine off, keys on the dash, wall on the dash, hands on the wheel. | ||
| And I was like, oh yeah, my dad gave me that talk too. | ||
| And they went, no he didn't! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's something that, and I was like, wait, wait, wait, hold on. | |
| Legit, this is the... Yo, I think you're talking about rich people or something. | ||
| Because everyone I knew in my neighborhood, no matter what their race was, got the talk. | ||
| But there was this woke, liberal, lib-left talking point that only black families get the talk. | ||
| And for those that... I'll clarify. | ||
| The talk is when a father explains, or mother, explains to their kids what to do when you're pulled over by the police. | ||
| Everyone I know of every different race was told, if you get pulled over, turn the engine off, put the keys in the dash, turn the light on, put your hands on the wheel. | ||
| Then when they ask for your license and insurance, it's on the dash, you grab it, and all your hands are in plain view the whole time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I got the talk, and I come from a family of police officers, so that should show. | |
| I got the talk in driver's head. | ||
| They teach you that in driver's head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't hit the gas pedal when you get pulled over. | |
| Why? | ||
| Don't reach for something very quickly. | ||
| Turn the music down because, you know, they're stopping you. | ||
| Don't reach for the glove box, all these things. | ||
| That's why it's like, you get pulled over, you put your insurance on the dash, you put your wallet on the dash, you put the keys on the dash, they know you can't drive, the car's not gonna move, the light's on, they can see everything, you grab your I just wait for them to approach with my hands where they can see them, because like... Well yeah, you put your hands on the wheel, so they can see your hands. | ||
| Until they ask you to do something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well and if you're armed, you let them know that you're armed. | |
| At least in most situations, but it also can backfire. | ||
| That's bad advice. | ||
| Different states have different laws on this, and you gotta talk to your lawyer about that one. | ||
| Some states require it and some states don't, and some states create serious problems if you needlessly start saying things like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, that's... I can see that. | |
| Yeah, don't listen to that. | ||
| Talk to your lawyer about... It's what I've wondered, because if you're driving with, like, a gun in your glove box and you have to get your insurance... Well, that's usually, like, I'll have a gun in the glove box and then you... usually my wallet's in the glove box or something, so then you have to reach in and you say, hey, officer, I want you to know there's a firearm in the glove box, but my wallet or my registration is also there. | ||
| You can reach in if you'd like, or I can reach in for it. | ||
| Now you're consenting them to search your vehicle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Depending on the jurisdiction, it can get crazy where if you offer an officer to check the car, they can search the whole thing and take you out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's nuts to me. | |
| Yeah, I don't know if it's true though, but when I was a kid, they said if the cop asks you to open the glove box, they can see you've just given a full consent for the car. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| Yeah, and it's usually like some argument of when he opened it, I thought I saw something, so now I have to investigate. | ||
| And he said it was okay that I searched it, so. | ||
| But you know, here's the important thing. | ||
| The reason why you never talk to cops, sorry cops, the reason why you never talk to cops is because there's this great Supreme Court justice who went over all the basics of it, but there's really one simple thing. | ||
| Are you and the cop going to remember things the exact same way? | ||
| All that matters. | ||
| Cop could be the best, nicest guy in the world, and he swears that you said that you were gonna shoot him up when you said, I'm going to root him up for your baseball team, who knows? | ||
| He could interpret what you said incorrectly or mishear you or something. | ||
| Or you can say, he says, what are you doing out here? | ||
| Hey, you're speeding. | ||
| And you say, just out having fun. | ||
| And he hears, just out with my gun. | ||
| And then he goes, I'm gonna need to step out of the vehicle, sir. | ||
| Then when you go to court and you say, he illegally searched my vehicle, the cop says, the driver informed me that he was armed. | ||
| I searched his vehicle. | ||
| You should always keep it bare minimum. | ||
| you know, a possession of illegal substances, and you can say, I never said that. I said I was just out having fun. | ||
| And who's gonna, the jury's gonna believe you? If however you say literally nothing, | ||
| then he can't say anything. He can lie and lie, but if it's a, you know, in the instant | ||
| you're dealing with a good cop who's not going to lie, he's gonna be like, he wouldn't talk to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You should always keep it bare minimum. I mean, just give them what they absolutely need in that moment. | |
| I would say give them what you're legally required to give them. | ||
| And then, uh, you know, typically I just be respectful and say, you know, with all due respect, I'll wait. | ||
| Let me know when I'm, when, when you're finished. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's crazy how far respect goes to in traffic stops. | |
| People don't realize that. | ||
| If you're just respectful... Bro, in life. | ||
| In life, too. | ||
| Especially in traffic stops. | ||
| Like, in Texas, I've been pulled over five times in a matter of two years. | ||
| Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. | ||
| Texas cops are on something else. | ||
| Is it ginger racism? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Something. | |
| Profiling, straight up. | ||
| But four out of those five times? | ||
| No ticket. | ||
| I've had my... What? | ||
| Well, right, so here's the challenge. | ||
| I mean, I'm not a fan of lawyers. | ||
| I feel like legal advice from lawyers is always, I'm just like, look man, situational. | ||
| I've been pulled over. | ||
| I'm driving the highway and it's like, it's super late at night. | ||
| I'm in the middle of nowhere in rural Illinois. | ||
| I'm speeding, not speeding too crazily. | ||
| And I get pulled over and I'm like, shit. | ||
| And the cop walks up and he's like, how's it going there, buddy? | ||
| You got a license and insurance? | ||
| They don't say license and registration. | ||
| And he's like, you were speeding. | ||
| And I was like, bro, I gotta go to the bathroom, man. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| And he's like, all right, dude, slow down. | ||
| And he let me go. | ||
| Nope, like if I gave him the business, I'm stuck there having to go to, I had to take a dump. | ||
| And I'm like, bro, I'm just trying to get off at Naperville. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got to get the best- That card works, I will say it. | |
| But I literally did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If someone uses that card, it works. | |
| So it's like, and there've been instances where I've, it's not happened to me, but my friends have said | ||
| that they were snooty to the cop. | ||
| And the cop said, I was gonna give you a warning, but you're being a dick, so now you get a ticket. | ||
| So it's tough. | ||
| I mean, you don't want to admit to committing crimes or anything. | ||
| Like, no lawyer would tell you to do that. | ||
| But if you make it easy for the officer and you're respectful, you might just, you know, tap on the top of the car and be like, come on, man, slow down, because I got to pull you over next time if you do it again. | ||
| And you're like, all right, dude, I got it. | ||
| The other thing, too, is sometimes you get bad cops. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's tough because you never know if you're going to get a nice one or a not nice one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You never know how much you can say without them using it against you. | ||
| My advice would be don't claim to the officer that you have anxiety, generational trauma, are non-binary, and triggered. | ||
| Or all of them. | ||
| Or put it on your ancestors. | ||
| Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Her ancestors are looking down just like, come on, man. | |
| Yeah, shaking their heads like, jeez. | ||
| Dude, I'm, she says she's indigenous. | ||
| Right, she did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have to wonder about- Just like Elizabeth Warren, right, yeah. | |
| But no, no, no, let's operate on the assumption that she is totally indigenous. | ||
| I'm wondering if her Comanche ancestors are just like, she's not ours. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you said tomahawk people, what are you doing? | |
| Yeah, right? | ||
| Especially if she's Comanche or something like that, at least in her inner heritage, they probably must be so mad at her for this, this whole situation. | ||
| Even drinking the fire water, come on. | ||
| Come on, what are you doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like you're not eating peyote, you're doing this? | |
| Come on. | ||
| Yeah, seriously, that's like- I don't know if the Comanche did that, because they were- Nah, peyote would be like South America. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fair enough. | |
| But still. | ||
| Aztecs maybe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You get the point. | |
| You're not rolling a fat tobacco one, there you go. | ||
| Peyote would be like New Mexico and stuff, huh? | ||
| I imagine so. | ||
| I don't know too much about Joe Rogan, so I have no idea. | ||
| Not Joe Rogan. | ||
| Yeah, and then Ayahuasca would be South America. | ||
| And then you have those crazy cactuses, what are they called? | ||
| That's peyote. | ||
| Peyote's a cactus. | ||
| Yeah, but there's another one, I forget what they're called. | ||
| Different cactus, same thing, doesn't matter, not important. | ||
| Still. | ||
| I fear for Gen Z, my friends, but this data that we have gives me pause and maybe I am more hopeful for the future of this country because of this data. | ||
| Because we had a Gen Z person in the room say, this is embarrassing to us all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is highly, highly embarrassing. | |
| How old are you? | ||
| I'm 23. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So I'm like right on the, I mean, I was born in 2000, so I'm pretty close to the cutoff. | ||
| Really? | ||
| What's the youngest millennial? | ||
| Isn't it like 20... Core is supposed to be 92, which is my birth year. | ||
| 92 is a cutoff for millennial? | ||
| I think that I heard the last year of millennial or like the last year of millennial is 96 and 97 is the first year of Gen Z. I think that sounds right. | ||
| Yeah, I've heard that before as well. | ||
| Yeah, roughly the same. | ||
| Uh, 81 to 96, according to Britannica. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Wow, that's crazy. | ||
| But I kind of feel like- Because I told you the other night, like, I am- I feel like I'm right at the end of the money. | ||
| That's crazy, though. | ||
| If you- if you were born in 81, you were 15 when the other kid was born, you're the same generation. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That doesn't make much sense. | |
| Because that's why you get the zillennial. | ||
| Zillennial. | ||
| Zillennial whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All I know is I grew up with good cartoons. | |
| I had the great cartoons. | ||
| I had the Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog. | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| Those are great. | ||
| Courage was good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or Billy and Mandy. | |
| Billy and Mandy was good, but Edd n Eddy was the worst. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love that. | |
| They were losers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, they were losers for sure. | |
| They were out, they were with their friends constantly, they lived on a cul-de-sac. | ||
| I mean, this is what Gen Z never had. | ||
| But I just don't understand, like, I just, I never as a kid liked watching shows where the main characters lose and were losers. | ||
| Every episode. | ||
| I hate it. | ||
| You know why I like The Simpsons? | ||
| Because Homer was like he's Forrest Gump and about and it's funny and the same thing with Peter Griffin. | ||
| I like and Fry. | ||
| They're they're They're really dumb, but things turn out well for them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
CatDog was a good one, too. | |
| I don't watch CatDog. | ||
| That was crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was crazy. | |
| That was messed up though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, like all the best cartoons are a little messed up though. | |
| CatDog for those who don't know it's like One end is a cat and one end is a dog. | ||
| So you have to wonder about how that works, you know what I mean? | ||
| It's kind of messed up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Being that age though, you don't think too much into it. | |
| No, you don't. | ||
| Yeah, but now it's with the weird... I guess the bigger concern is probably for Gen Alpha because Elsagate and the things that popped up on YouTube with all this weird freaky sexualized content is it's embedded in their brains. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right, people need to understand. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| Why does time fly as you get older, right? | ||
| It feels like when you're younger As you get older, the years are passing faster and faster and faster. | ||
| And it's mostly due to the fact that your brain ignores routine. | ||
| It does not need to store the same data as it did when you were younger. | ||
| So from the ages of five to 10 years old, it feels like every year feels like an eternity and you just can't wait. | ||
| When you're older, you're like, wow, I can't believe it's been three years already. | ||
| Man, can you believe the lockdowns were three years ago? | ||
| Seriously, it's November of 2023. | ||
| Joe Biden's got his last year. | ||
| Can you believe it? | ||
| It's because we're not tracking these things like when we were young. | ||
| So, for a Gen Alpha baby or toddler who's watching big-breasted Hitler dancing with the Incredible Hulk. | ||
| It's a real video, I'm not making that up. | ||
| That's gonna be like 7% of their psyche. | ||
| Because they've only been here for a couple years and they watched those videos for like 8 months. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I remember how impactful cartoons were on me when I was a kid. | |
| That was my life. | ||
| So it was Richie's birthday the other day, and for his birthday we just did a bunch of Simpsons references, and it was actually fun and funny, but off-putting, that we all knew so much about the Simpsons, and we can't even tell you the Articles of the Constitution. | ||
| Like, bits and pieces, Article 1, Section 2 says, we just listen to that, right? | ||
| And then the amendments. | ||
| But man, you wanna tell me about how the flaming Moe got invented? | ||
| I can break down exactly how it went down. | ||
| You wanna talk about the spruce moose? | ||
| Just give me season 1 through 9 of The Simpsons and I just... We can sing the Monorail song right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, but now you can't choke Bart any longer. | |
| No, no more choking. | ||
| I never did either. | ||
| And Abe Simpson's gay. | ||
| I don't get any of these references, I didn't watch The Simpsons growing up, but it makes me feel like I operated in a different culture than you guys. | ||
| I mean, that's right. | ||
| I'm over here, you know, I don't know what I was doing. | ||
| What were you watching? | ||
| I watched The Goats, Sword Box Squarepants all the time. | ||
| Oh yeah, of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Spongebob's still a good one. | |
| Spongebob's three seasons only. | ||
| I wasn't allowed to watch TV during school nights. | ||
| Like, Monday to Friday I couldn't watch TV, I could only watch it on Saturdays and part of Sunday. | ||
| And so I feel like it made me- I could watch it Friday nights, actually. | ||
| But I feel like it just made me miss all kinds of things. | ||
| You don't have enough time to catch up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See, I'd fall asleep watching cartoons and I'd wake up at 3am to Robot Chicken. | |
| And that was my life. | ||
| So you had like a TV in your room growing up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I'd fall asleep in the living room a lot of the time. | |
| I mean, you'd either wake up to Robot Chicken, or, uh, what is it, George, what? | ||
| I mean, there's so many different things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would just wake up to Oral, Robot Chicken. | |
| Yeah, but, uh, I'm older than you, so when I would fall asleep watching Adult Swim, I'd wake up to, like, C-Lab and Space Ghost. | ||
| Or the Girls Gone Wild commercial. | ||
| That's true, yeah, that was always on. | ||
| And then it was really great when Adult Swim got Family Guy, because then I was watching that. | ||
| Oh yeah, that's true. | ||
| But yeah, when I was, man, when I was 16, you were, how old would that make you? | ||
| Two? | ||
| Were you even here yet? | ||
|

I don't know. | |
| I mean, born in 2000, you're 37? | ||
| Yeah, I'd be right around there. | ||
| Right, so I'm 16 watching Adult Swim. | ||
| And it was like Space Ghost and Sea Lab and, um... Oh, the Brack Show? | ||
| Is that what it was called? | ||
| Yeah, Brack. | ||
| Yeah, there's also like, uh... I like that show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Squidbillies was a good one. | |
| No, I hate Squidbillies. | ||
| I would wake up to Squidbillies, and that one was messed up. | ||
| Yeah, that's like a later generation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| I remember also watching, like, Toonami and watching, like, Rurouni Kenshin and, like, uh... Who else? | ||
| Like, Yu Yu Hakusho. | ||
| Yu Yu Hakusho. | ||
| Spirit Detective was a big one for me. | ||
| Yeah, Yu Yu Hakusho. | ||
| You know Yasha? | ||
| Also a big one for me. | ||
| And what else did they have on that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Dragon Ball. | ||
| Oh, like Ronin Warriors. | ||
| They had so many random shows at that period of time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Goku, of course. | ||
| Dragon Ball Z. Yeah. | ||
| I don't know what they're doing now, though. | ||
| No, me either. | ||
| But I also wonder, too, about, like, the superheroes that Gen Z and Gen Alpha have. | ||
| Remember when Marvel did the new Warriors? | ||
| They canceled it, but it was, like, Snowflake and Safe Space? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Do you remember that? | ||
| I can remember that. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Let me pull that one up. | ||
| Snowflake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See, I grew up on, like, Spider-Man and Iron Man. | |
| Those are the go-to for me. | ||
| True. | ||
| I grew up with Tobey Maguire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He will always be the best Spider-Man. | |
| And here's a crazy thing. | ||
| This was a big scandal, I guess, when it came out. | ||
| I don't know if it was a scandal, but I wasn't making fun of it. | ||
| Snowflake and Safe Space and then quite literally a morbidly obese Mexican woman and her superpowers. | ||
| She has a backpack that she can pull anything out of. | ||
| She's Dora. | ||
| She's from that arrest video. | ||
| No, she's Dora. | ||
| Oh man. No, but for real, what they were probably thinking was, the kids today, the teenagers | ||
| who are going to read this, grew up watching Dora the Explorer. Let's make a Dora superhero. | ||
| But here's the crazy thing is, Snowflake and Safe Space are brother and sister and they're | ||
|
unidentified
|
really into each other. Oh, I was going to say. There's an avatar there. I thought they | |
| were a couple. This dude in the middle has internet powers, whatever that means. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He looks like a knockoff of Ben 10. | |
| Did anyone become fluent watching Dora the Explorer? | ||
| Screen time! | ||
| Look at this kid. | ||
| He's got a meme-obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after he got exposed to experimental internet gas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at this one! | |
| Snowflake and Safe Space. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Their names match with what they look like, for sure. | |
| I remember watching Batman mercilessly beat a guy, and then being like, but we don't kill. | ||
| And then in Injustice 2, when Batman and Robin, and it's Damian Wayne, so he's like League of Assassins, when Batman Just crunches a guy's skull and, like, it shows the x-ray and the brain cracks or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like the Mortal Kombat x-ray? | |
| It is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he's like, I don't kill. | ||
| And then Damien goes, yeah, but TBI is okay. | ||
| I'm like, that's... I love that degree of awareness of aging with your audience. | ||
| Right, yeah. | ||
| But my concern with this is, I grew up with heroes who are like, you have to be a good person, you have to help others, self-sacrifice, etc. | ||
| They're growing up with narcissistic, arrogant, whiny baby heroes. | ||
| This got cancelled, I guess. | ||
| Good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Probably for the best. | |
| Well, now you see, this stuff gets cancelled, but now you've got stuff like The Boys, The Titans, where the superheroes just murder, and it's like the reality of the superheroes. | ||
| You've got Wander mowing down crowds. | ||
| Did you just smoke past a gay vampire? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, how dare you. | |
| B-negative. | ||
| He's telling you to B-negative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
At least he's not HPV-negative. | |
| There you go. | ||
| He was given a life-saving medical procedure where he was exposed to Morbius' blood as a child. | ||
| Man, I used to look up to, like, Fullmetal Alchemist. | ||
| I know! | ||
| Trailblazer. | ||
| Look at this! | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's never walked a trail in her life. | |
| She's a- it's a- it's a- it's a fat South American one with a backpack where she has a magic backpack which is a pocket dimension where she can pull useful- useful random objects. | ||
| She has this saying, backpack, backpack. | ||
| I mean, that is- yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a little monkey pops out. | |
| She's specifically against shoplifting from Boston? | ||
| Maybe they just got sued. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I'm pretty sure they cancelled this and everyone was like, yo, this is embarrassing. | ||
| That is a bad idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I remember seeing clips go around of this on Twitter and everyone was just making fun of it. | |
| It seems, again, like the Babylon Bee has struck. | ||
| Well, it's like drawn together, but not a joke. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's not even funny. | ||
| Nothing's funny about it. | ||
| It's so weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This seems like something that like a right winger would come up with just for fun. | |
| And you're like, it's a little heavy, you know what I mean? | ||
| Like it's a little too on the nose. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Also, what are they protecting you from? | |
| The white men? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| This is heteronormative patriarchy. | ||
| I love that stuff, though. | ||
| Why would they protect me from it? | ||
| The Marvels came out officially today. | ||
| Tanked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Completely tanked. | |
| Yeah, the reviews are bombing. | ||
| People don't want to watch it. | ||
| The trailers show Robert Downey Jr. | ||
| and Chris Evans from four years ago in Endgame because they know nobody wants to watch it. | ||
| Disney has destroyed everything. | ||
| South Park's roasting them for doing it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Pandaverse. | |
| Yeah, a really great example. | ||
| There's a really great video I watched about Captain America versus Captain Marvel. | ||
| And it breaks down why Captain America was highly rated, why it was successful, made a billion dollars, and why Captain Marvel was panned and didn't do as well. | ||
| And it's really, really simple. | ||
| Captain America, that's a movie that's like 2011, I think. | ||
| What's the message being sent to people in 2011? | ||
| So how old, you were born in 2000? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So you're 11 years old, you saw Captain America? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, absolutely. | |
| You watched Steve Rogers throw himself on a grenade to save the other men who are... Captain America was great. | ||
| You watched a movie about a dude so desperate to fight for his country, he kept trying to lie his way into the military. | ||
| Now someone born in 2000 watched Captain Marvel, where she robs a guy because he asked her to smile. | ||
| She walks up to a guy, she's like, lands on earth, he's on a motorcycle with a leather jacket, and he sees her and he goes, you should smile more, and then she looks at him, then the next scene is her riding away with all of his stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See, and I grew up on like, Ghost Rider and stuff. | |
| Like, Ghost Rider, that was it. | ||
| Ghost Rider was awesome. | ||
| He was the peak top tier. | ||
| He has a flaming head and rides a motorcycle. | ||
| It's pretty sick. | ||
| Is he like accomplishing something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Beast people with chains. | |
| A flaming chain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, a flaming chain. | |
| Oh, and he's eternal and doesn't die ever. | ||
| It's just so cool. | ||
| And he just does this for no... Is he fighting crime? | ||
| No, it's a devil's contract. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| What is it? | ||
| He signed a deal with the devil? | ||
| No, it's immortality. | ||
| No, but what was the deal for? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, he died in... Well, he got in a really bad motorcycle accident. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he was like a stunt jumper. | ||
| Basically like Evel Knievel. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The devil said, I'll bring you back, but you... What was it, like, after you die, you'll work for me for eternity or something? | ||
| Pretty much, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I don't know. | |
| Sounds like a terrible deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, then he ends up slaying, like, demons and cool stuff, and, like, kinda turns on the devil a little bit. | |
| Whoa, a double agent? | ||
| It's cool, it's cool. | ||
| I like the movie, Nicolas Cage. | ||
| That is a cool movie! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, anything with Nicolas Cage is over. | |
| Oh yeah, for sure. | ||
| No question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not the bees! | |
| Are you gonna see that? | ||
| He's in one right now about how he's a professor who like appears in everyone's dreams, like an A24 film. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Well, he's in every movie. | ||
| If I know who Nicolas Cage is... I was watching one where he's like a buffalo rancher just like before the show started. | ||
| And I'm like, I can't really tell what's going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He can star in anything and it will be entertaining. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It could be the most bland thing ever. | |
| He may be the best candidate to AI movie make. | ||
| Did you see the one where he plays himself? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| I wanted to see it. | ||
| What was that one? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it was literally called Nicholas Cage. | |
| It's the fantastic life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was the fantastic life and then I think it was literally his name. | |
| And it's like, he gets hired by this guy who's a super fan. | ||
| And it's, who's that? | ||
| Pablo Pascal or whatever's playing the guy. | ||
| And it's really- Pedro Pascal. | ||
| Pedro Pascal. | ||
| And then he's like, there's this really great scene where basically Nicolas Cage is informing to the government on this guy who's apparently a drug dealer. | ||
| And so Nicolas Cage is trying to go into this room and the guy's like, don't go in there, man. | ||
| Please. | ||
| It's going to change our relationship. | ||
| And he's like, this must be where the drugs are. | ||
| But he opens it up and it's just the most ridiculous Nicolas Cage fan room. | ||
| It's got all his props and his pictures. | ||
| And he's like, what? | ||
| The dude was actually just a super fan. | ||
| It was his brother or cousin or something that was doing all the bad shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's so funny. | |
| That movie was good. | ||
| Nicolas Cage is the best. | ||
| The one I'm talking about is called Dream Scenario, which apparently just came out, or it's coming out. | ||
| Oh, I've heard of that. | ||
| And he plays a college professor who, like, starts appearing in all of the kids in his lecture's dreams, but then it gets, like, weirder, and he's starting, like, to do strange things, and it becomes an internet. | ||
| Like, he goes viral, then he appears in other people's dreams. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I wanna watch that. | ||
| Have you guys seen Next? | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| It's a MTV dating show? | ||
| Nicolas Cage plays a guy who can see like a minute or a minute and a half into the future. | ||
| Oh, I feel like I've seen that. | ||
| And so he like goes to casinos and he just wins whenever he wants but he keeps it on the DL and then he gets recruited. | ||
| Is that your trick? | ||
| Is that how you accomplish it? | ||
| That's how I win everything. | ||
| But it's actually a really clever movie. | ||
| It's a really clever concept. | ||
| You know, I recommend it. | ||
| It sounds cool. | ||
| Yeah, there's a great scene where he's at a bar, and then he sees a woman sitting at a, you know, sitting or whatever, there's like a guy bothering her. | ||
| So he gets up and he walks over to her, and then the guy's, it's her ex yelling at her, and so then he's like, listen buddy, you know, leave her alone. | ||
| The guy takes a swing at Nicolas Cage, who can see the future, so he dips perfectly and then punches the guy. | ||
| When the ex-boyfriend goes down, the woman goes, you dick! | ||
| And then she runs to her ex-boyfriend and cleans him up and says, get out of here! | ||
| Then time rewinds back to Nicolas Cage sitting at the counter. | ||
| That was him seeing the future. | ||
| He gets up, he walks over. | ||
| The guy starts giving the business and he says, come on, leave her alone. | ||
| And then as soon as the guy reaches to punch, Nicolas Cage goes, here it comes. | ||
| Gets hit in the face, falls down, and then she goes to him and calls the other guy a dick. | ||
| Yeah, Nicolas Cage is the best, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love that. | |
| I love that. | ||
| He's got great work. | ||
| Uh, Kick-Ass 1 and 2, I was a fan. | ||

| Yeah, I forgot about those movies. | ||

| Peace. | ||
| I did not see it. | ||
| But also, it's the birthday of the Continental Marines. | ||
| So happy birthday, Continental Marines. | ||

They went and they stopped those pirates! | |

| But also, happy birthday to my fellow Marines. | ||
| And for the lesser thens, happy Veterans Day tomorrow. | ||
| Not in my town. | ||

It sounds like a Marine thing to say. | |
| Matt Hancock says, happy birthday to the Marine Corps. | ||
| Check out the come and dance birthday message. | ||
| That is how to motivate recruitment. | ||
| True. | ||
| Yeah, did you see the new army commercial? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All white men. | |
| We're going to war. | ||
| You saw it, right? | ||
| In 2021, I saw the side-by-side comparison of all the gender, the we love stuff, and then now, just all straight white men. | ||
| It's like, oh, we are so boned. | ||
| They went back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Elf Treehug says, more D&D references, please. | ||
| I suppose. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I've been playing a lot of Baldur's Gate, which is basically D&D. | ||
| Good game. | ||
| Good fun. | ||
| I'm not your buddy, guys. | ||
| This is purely political. | ||
| There is evidence. | ||
| Problem is, this would give the Dems an out for removing Biden. | ||
| It's more likely Biden will lose 2024. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So I, you know, I've always supported Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's those... Unequivocally. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| I don't like the Republicans. | ||
| It's, you know, oh, the Democrats. | ||
|
unidentified

You know, Biden's earned my vote. | |

| A banger. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A bop. | |
| A bop? | ||
| Bop for hip-hop? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Somebody said that one thing. | ||

You said bop, and now all I can think of is um-bop. | |
| All right, you're sober. | ||

You're doing this to yourself. | |
| Jonathan Burnett says, this millennial is officially a homeowner. | ||
| Klaus and the WF can choke on my Roberto. | ||
| Chickens and a garden coming in spring. | ||
| Listen, listen, my friends, we have too many roosters. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| We got too many roosters. | ||
| We got a couple that are hilarious. | ||
| They have mutton chops. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| But apparently, like, one of the breeds we had, it's, uh, I can't remember. | ||
| Kim knows all this stuff. | ||
| But it's got, you know, mutton chops that come out. | ||
| And, uh, they're just really dumb. | ||
| So, we've built the suburbs of Chicken City because the city is expanding due to population growth, and, uh, Kim built a little shelter for them they don't use. | ||
| So it's raining, and they're all just huddled standing there in the rain, and there's quite literally a big shelter they could go inside of. | ||
| But they're dumb. | ||
| But we gotta give them away. | ||
| They're male. | ||
| They're gonna build their own shelter. | ||
| They don't need your help. | ||
| Yeah, so I think we gotta give a bunch away. | ||
| And so... I don't know, what are roosters worth? | ||
| Like 20 bucks or something? | ||
| But these are official Chicken City genetic lineage, you know, roosters. | ||
| So... I guess 20 bucks? | ||
| Is that... Yeah, 23 bucks. | ||
| 20 bucks. | ||
| We gotta get rid of them though. | ||
| We were planning on bringing them to auction and just, you know, finding good homes for them. | ||
| But the only rule is you can't eat them. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Yeah, we are looking to sell to people who need a rooster for their flock so that it can have more chickens and more roosters. | ||
| And not to just eat. | ||
| So. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I don't know how we... Just harass Kim on X. Oh yeah, you can tweet at Kim on X and just be like, I would like a rooster please. | ||
| Please, a rooster. | ||
| Kim's going to fire me immediately. | ||
| But she can tell. | ||
| She can tell if you've got bad intentions for these roosters. | ||
| She's like Santa. | ||
| She knows. | ||
| She has a list. | ||
| She has a list. | ||
| Alright, alright. | ||
| Mike Z's says, Thank you Tim and crew for all you do. | ||
| Since it's Friday, I thought I'd shout out my good friend Kieran. | ||
| She makes amazing artwork and is trying to influence culture by making her own video game. | ||
| Ashes to Ashlyn goes by Agent Kieran on Kofi. | ||
| What is Kofi? | ||
| Never heard of it before. | ||
| Kofi. | ||
| K-O-F-I, not Kofi, Kodashfi, for anyone interested in that. | ||
| Alright, Raybert G. Stanbert Jr. | ||
| says, Happy birthday Marines! | ||
| Drink responsibly. | ||
| I wonder if we're going to see anything going on in Charleston or anything in the area for Veterans Day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Maybe like a reenactment of some kind. | ||
| Or I bet all the VFWs are packed. | ||
| Is Veterans Day a bank holiday? | ||
| Is it like an official federal holiday? | ||
| I think so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is? | |
| I think so. | ||
| Yeah, because I was kind of like, oh, I wish that was on Friday or Monday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Give us an excuse to be like, we out! | ||
| Some places do give you the Friday off if it's on a Saturday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Not here at Timcast. | ||
| We work all the time. | ||
| No, just kidding. | ||
| I like this job. | ||
| Well, they had the parades last weekend, so I didn't realize that it was... Yeah. | ||
| I thought all the celebrations were gonna be like that Monday or whatever. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| But then, you know, it's Saturday, so... True. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And there you go. | |
| I'll get you some crayons, Raymond, and I'll make sure to get them to you stat, so... Crayons? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can celebrate properly. | |
| Yeah, Marines-y crayons is the old adage. | ||
| Logan Culver says, I can only imagine Phil and James Lindsay were screaming at their screens watching today's Culture War episode. | ||
| Commies always lie. | ||
| Well, so the one thing I can say is I really do appreciate Haas coming on and Trevor Loudon, of course. | ||
| It was a great conversation. | ||
| But things got heated when I made a comment about bourgeoisie, meaning the middle class. | ||
| It's a misconception that it means the ultra wealthy. | ||
| People say bougie and things like that, but the bourgeoisie was quite literally the middle class, people who had small businesses. | ||
| And then when I brought that up, Haas told me, no, it doesn't mean that. | ||
| And I was like, wait, what? | ||
| I'm like, that's... So I looked it up, and I'm like, it literally does. | ||
| And then he played the, well, according to Marx, what it means is, and I'm like, here we go. | ||
| If it's gonna negatively impact my argument, I will give you an alternate definition, which is typically what we see on the left. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need Jackson and Phil on one. | |
| We need it. | ||
| On the same one? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think Phil also needs that. | |
| It was supposed to be, and then Jackson didn't want to do it. | ||
| Yeah, true. | ||
| Jackson's gotta do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm gonna reach out to Jackson after this and say, debate Phil right now. | |
| Okay, so Phil Labonte wanted to debate Jackson Hinkle, and then Jackson wanted Haas to come, and then Phil said, I agree to debate you, not Haas, so then Jackson didn't want to do it, but Haas still did, so we got Trevor to come on instead. | ||
| I think it's still a good show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're gonna make it happen. | |
| We're gonna make it happen. | ||
| Yeah, I thought it was good. | ||
| I think it's good because, uh, the problem is, what, like, the roadblock in the cultural episode is, Trevor is saying, people aligned with the communist movement and the communist party are enacting these things. | ||
| And Haas's argument was, that's not communism. | ||
| And I'm like, Isn't that always the argument? | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm like, hold on. | ||
| If you're sitting here making this passioned, idealistic, or real, he says, no, it's not idealistic, it's real. | ||
| I'm like, okay, fine, whatever. | ||
| If you're like, they're not real communists because they're not doing the things that communism is supposed to be, it's like, how come every time people who are communists try to implement it, it turns into this? | ||
| Every time. | ||
| Is it that no communists exist? | ||
| There's not a single communist anywhere? | ||
| Wasn't there a point where he was trying to like, remove Marx from the equation and say that it wasn't based on Marxism when then he was arguing stuff from the Communist Manifesto and different, because I remember that part specifically, I clipped it, the one where he was like, what is, what do you mean by work? | ||
| What do you mean by deeper? | ||
| Yeah, so I think the issue is I don't care for this, like, rebranding of communism. | ||
| It makes literally no sense. | ||
| I do agree with some of the idea of class struggle arguments. | ||
| The problem is cultural Marxism is absolutely insane and disrupts from those who are actually trying to create, you know, better systems for the people who actually produce. | ||
| I would love it If the workers of the world own the means of production, and you know what I mean by that? | ||
| It means that a factory is owned by a regular working class guy who built it up and earned that wealth and he has private and free trade ownership and market of all of it, no government intervention. | ||
| So for me, when I hear the workers own the means of production, it means the state doesn't own it and massive multinational oligopoly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So basically how things were in America before corporatism took over. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| So it's private trade, private enterprise, with a strong and robust middle class. | ||
| That is what it means for the workers to own the means of production. | ||
| Because what the communists keep saying is the workers show the means of production, and the socialists say it, and I'm like, yes. | ||
| With a regulatory state that has final say, you don't own it. | ||
| So all that I hear is the communists argue No, no, we'll let you use it. | ||
| But I'm like, okay, then sign the deed over to the guy and let him have absolute control over his means of production. | ||
| Well, no, because then a single person owns it. | ||
| No, no, no, look. | ||
| If there are a million factories, and there are, you know, a thousand guys who own, or a million people who own each factory, and then a thousand workers at each factory, that's the workers owning the means of production. | ||
| The problem for me is centralization of power. | ||
| Be it monopolies, oligopolies, corporatism, communism, etc. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Ohio Man says, please, for the love of God and all that is holy, do not let Nikki Haley be Trump's VP pick. | ||
| I can't vote for Dick Cheney in heels, can't do it. | ||
| Nikki Cheney. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's gonna stick. | |
| That is going to stick. | ||
| They have to know this though. | ||
| Nikki Haley as VP is like, no way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nikki Haley anywhere near power is no way. | |
| I think their relationship is too contentious. | ||
| I think their fighting has been too public. | ||
| I just hope Trump isn't feeling like he's in a let's rebuild some bridges kind of mood when he's making a VP choice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
At this point he should be in a let's burn some bridges mood with everything going on. | |
| Trump-Carlson, 2024. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then you can keep having Tucker do his show on X, too. | |
| Just do both! | ||
| I do think the issue is, they want a VP who's gonna capture a different base. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's understandable. | |
| And that's why Nikki Haley seems... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't want that base, though. | |
| Keep that base away from the GOP. | ||
| But you want to win! | ||
| I know, man. | ||
| No, I would love to see him pick, like I said the other night, Chris Kobach, like a really motivated AG who's doing something interesting, right? | ||
| There are other options. | ||
| We are just looking at sort of the headline people, but hopefully Trump has people around him who are looking deeper than that, seeing what people are actually accomplishing. | ||
| Nonpartisan Kitty says, this is what's wrong with our country. | ||
| It's always for the next election and never about getting things done now. | ||
| Yeah, it's always compromise. | ||
| It's like the Republican saying, look, look, I know you want to end omnibus spending bills, but let's just do this one right now, and we'll work on this, and then it never happens. | ||
| That's why Matt Gaetz was like, nope! | ||
| It's now or never, baby. | ||
| And in the end, I don't know if he'll actually get all of it done, but at least he's pushing, he's creating that pressure. | ||
| So, I'll take it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Jeremy Love says, you guys are terribly misunderstanding what he is saying. | ||
| They are still gathering evidence and won't call it until they have everything. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| I totally understand that is what he's saying. | ||
| And the point is, he had said previously, we have the evidence. | ||
| We have this right here. | ||
| You can come and prove that it's not true. | ||
| Come into our committee, testify. | ||
| But we have the checks. | ||
| We have the documents. | ||
| We have the bank records. | ||
| And now it's, we don't have enough for an actual impeachment. | ||
| So, but I think it's political strategy. | ||
| I am not saying that he is saying this to betray the Republicans. | ||
| I think he's like, we don't want to impeach just yet. | ||
| We want Biden to roast. | ||
| We want the Democratic Party to take as much collateral damage politically over this as possible, and then maybe we'll deal with it later on. | ||
| And this is our path to slowing down the impeachment process. | ||
| Do you guys want to take bets on when you think they'll have enough evidence? | ||
| Take bets? | ||
| Take bets. | ||
| I think it's like November 14th of 2024. | ||
| Of when they'll impeach? | ||
| Of when they'll say, actually, we have enough evidence. | ||
| Because that's after the election. | ||
| Right after the election? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I think that's about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If I were going to roll something out, it would be afterwards. | |
| Let him have 2024. | ||
| No, October 17th. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good old October surprise. | |
| Somebody write this down for me. | ||
| Let me actually check the calendar real quick. | ||
| Do you want a specific date in mind? | ||
| I'm gonna go with November 14th. | ||
| That's a Thursday. | ||
| It'll make the weekend more interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think they honestly won't even end up doing anything. | |
| I think they'll just let it all slide. | ||
| October 24th. | ||
| Because that would mean the impeachment proceedings would begin and would not conclude until after. | ||
| So actually, actually, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. | ||
| If the impeachment trial takes, um, how many days was Trump's? | ||
| It was like, what, like four days or something? | ||
| Wasn't that long? | ||
| So, uh, They'd want it to be... When's the election? | ||
| It's the 5th, right? | ||
| Yeah, it's November 5th. | ||
| So I think October 24th is probably the right date because then what happens is they're going to announce the 24th. | ||
| You'll get the next week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and then they'll say, and then we'll come back for the formal vote on the 4th, which is just before the actual election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It'll dominate the news cycle. | |
| Yeah, Joe Biden's under impeachment. | ||
| So what they want is, with universal mail-in voting and early voting, they want to maximize the amount of time. | ||
| So theoretically, they could do something like, we're going to do two days of the hearing of evidence. | ||
| Starting on the 10th, they announce it, and say, this will begin on the 15th, our first preliminary hearing. | ||
| The 17th will be our second evidentiary hearing, and then we'll have the final evidentiary hearing on the 24th, and then it'll come to a vote on the 31st. | ||
| So this way, they draw it out as long as possible. | ||
| That way, the month of early voting, right up until the point of election, Joe Biden is facing intense scrutiny, the press is massively negative, and then right before the election, they say, he's impeached. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be interesting. | ||
| Then, the Senate picks it up, and they reject it, but election day's the 5th. | ||
| Carter, sir, do you want to weigh in really quick? | ||
| I mean, that would be a good strategy. | ||
| But no, you have to pick a date, that's the game. | ||
| Oh, the date. | ||
| No, I agree with Tim. | ||
| You can't just copy Tim's idea! | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Serge, you want to play? | ||
| October 25th. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You guys don't get this game at all. | |
| But hold on, understand. | ||
| Are you saying they will vote to impeach, meaning the evidentiary hearings already happened? | ||
| I'm saying they'll announce they're bringing impeachment charges. | ||
| So on October 8th, Here's my 3% likelihood of happening scenario. | ||
| Very, very low because there's too many variables. | ||
| As of today, I would predict it's a Tuesday, October 8th. | ||
| They make the announcement. | ||
| They are going to begin the formal impeachment process, which will begin with evidentiary hearings in Congress so that members of Congress can hear the evidence. | ||
| The reason it'll be on the 8th is that Tuesday is press release day. | ||
| They want to maximize negative press. | ||
| It'll be on the 8th. | ||
| Then there will be bickering and backroom nonsense for the rest of the week. | ||
| They may say, we've had a few meetings, and then they might not do anything for us the week, to be honest. | ||
| On the 14th, they can say something like, we are now going to negotiate dates for the evidentiary hearings in the impeachment process before we decide to vote on whether or not we will impeach. | ||
| So these dates are going to be the 17th, the 22nd, and the 24th. | ||
| After the 24th, we will then give members of Congress a few days to go over the findings and backroom deals and conversations, which means perhaps on the 30th, a Wednesday, they could actually bring a formal vote to the House floor. | ||
| Now, they could theoretically move faster than this, but they have every reason to maximize the duration of the impeachment proceedings so that on the 30th, the formal vote happens, which means that's Wednesday. | ||
| Nothing on Thursday or Friday, and then Monday, it would have to move to the Senate rapidly, and they could even hold it and say, we have voted to impeach Joe Biden, the Speaker of the House will formally deliver the impeachment on the 4th, the Monday, giving us time to have conversations and discussions about how this is going to be done properly. | ||
| Then, it's one day before the election, and in the news, the impeachment is hand-delivered Or Democrats remove Joe Biden well before this happens. | ||
| What in October? | ||
| That would be crazy. | ||
| That would be great. | ||
| Well, look, look, look. | ||
| If they're smart, they do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But they're not very smart, are they? | |
| To be fair. | ||
| But Tim just spelled it out for you. | ||
| No, no, no, hold on. | ||
| I don't know the deals that are going on in Congress. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| The restrictions, the limitations. | ||
| For me, it's very surface level. | ||
| Here's a very simplistic way you could draw this out and smear Joe Biden in October. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Somebody send this to Mike Johnson. | |
| There you go. | ||
| Mike Johnson is like, Tim, stop telling everyone the plan. | ||
| The bigger problem is that Republicans probably don't actually want to do any of it. | ||
| And they're like, oh boy, I hope we lose. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's it. | ||
| And I honestly think that they will be torn on whether they should move now. | ||
| They have to get an alignment on why this timing is correct as opposed to something else. | ||
| This game also reminds me of when you guess, like, when your friend's baby is gonna be born. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what I mean? | |
| I feel like- Everyone buy a square! | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| We should do a giant bingo game like that. | ||
| Hilarious. | ||
| Didn't we used to do them for the debates? | ||
| You guys did it a couple times. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| It's hard to do though because you have to make a whole bunch of uniques. | ||
| It's State of the Union. | ||
| That's when you guys did them, I think. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Bitter Tune says, thanks for yesterday's shout out. | ||
| It was immensely helpful. | ||
| And I'm deeply grateful. | ||
| Well, thanks for the super chat, sir. | ||

|
Yep. | |
| Hell yeah. | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| Trent Lamalino says, is anyone at Timcast looking into what's happening in Africa? | ||
| I know it's not front page stuff, but there's a potential for conflict as the US, Russia, and CCP push forward here. | ||
| A bunch of coups that were organic as well. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Sudan. | ||
| Sudan. | ||
| We talked a little bit about Sudan. | ||
| Sudan, Chad, Niger, Nigeria, et cetera. | ||
| All those different people. | ||
| It's a big story. | ||
| There's a lot of information there. | ||
| And yes, CCP is pushing a lot into Africa and almost every different nation of Africa. | ||
| And everyone can feel it. | ||
| Trust me. | ||
| We all know about it. | ||
| SM69 says, The Babylon Bee just put out an article showing Nikki Haley with a shocked face from the debate with the headline, Nikki Haley stumped when asked which countries she wouldn't invade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was a good one. | |
| Yeah, but come on, it's an easy answer. | ||
| Is the Maldives a country? | ||
| No. | ||
| Yeah, the Maldives is a country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is? | |
| But it's gonna be gone soon. | ||
| The water's gonna cover it up, so... Oh, okay. | ||
| I wouldn't... North Sentinel Island. | ||
| That's technically its own country, right? | ||
| Yeah, good luck. | ||
| You could say the Vatican. | ||
| That's a country, too. | ||
| Yeah, true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it? | |
| Oh, okay, there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's its own country. | |
| Well, there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I might support that one, though. | |
| Go and dig down in those archives and see what they got. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| Uh, Dallas Smith says, doubt you'll remember, but we met at the rally in Delta Park, PDX, after my boy Jay got murdered. | ||
| I was tacked out militia-style. | ||
| Keep killin' it, bruv. | ||
| By the way, I don't need my red-striped US gator. | ||
| I loaned you that day. | ||
| JK, keep it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, he's talking to me? | |
| I was not in Portland. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, we could do that, because I know he's talking about Jay Bishop. | |
| Delta Park in PDX after Jay got murdered. | ||
| He was tacked out militia-style, and he gave you a red gator. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, I do remember you. | |
| Thank you for that red gator, by the way. | ||
| After Night 100 in Portland, that's what got me to really start reporting on riots, was that video of Jay getting just straight up executed outside that parking garage. | ||
| And the ADL describes it as an Antifa activist who murdered a right-wing extremist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Insane. | |
| Absolutely insane. | ||
| So crazy! | ||
| If you look into Jay's background and stuff, Jay was a good guy. | ||
| I mean, and then you look at the dude that murdered him, quite the opposite. | ||
| Michael O'Neal, I mean, had the shootout. | ||
| These people, they will go as far as to murder people, as we see. | ||
| But that's really what sparked my interest in covering the riots, was after that video, I remember I had, I think it was like $400 in my bank account. | ||
| Booked a ticket, didn't even have a hotel at the time, and flew out to Portland. | ||
| I had 100. | ||
| I got the feet on fire clip, and then Trump retweeted it, and that's really what started my career. | ||
| But thank you for that, Red Gator. | ||
| I appreciate you, brother. | ||
| ChickenLady1980 says, Tim, please consider inviting Mark Dice to be on the Culture War podcast. | ||
| He just released a new book, The War on Conservatives, highlighting the culture war issues that we have today. | ||

| Good read so far. | ||
| Mark Dice has a standing invitation. | ||
| An open invitation. | ||
| And he tweeted this. | ||
| He tweeted that he does, and it's just an issue of when he can fly across the country. | ||
| But Mark, we're all big fans, and we would love to fly you out at any time you want to come on the Culture War podcast. | ||
| And it'd probably be good to have Mark on the Culture War podcast in the morning with someone to debate, and then Friday night IRL to hang out and, you know, shoot the shit with the crew. | ||
| I already swore earlier, so I guess we're swearing tonight. | ||
| It's a wild Friday night. | ||

| Kane Abel says, Hannah, so which Target are you shopping at to know that these kits exist? | ||
| I'm kind of confused how you just happened to stumble on that stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Busted. | |
| I did walk through a Target recently. | ||
| I did not buy anything. | ||
| But yeah, it was weird with the Target boycott, which is that I live in a rural area and don't go to Target that often anyways. | ||
| Like I had gone maybe twice in the last year. | ||
| So it gets really easy to boycott things when you don't go, right? | ||
| If Walmart is more convenient, you go there anyways. | ||
| You know, I have progressive friends, I have normal normie friends who don't totally get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shame. | |
| Shame. | ||
| Occasionally they want to go through Target, but... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I have to shame my girlfriend every once in a while because she loves Target. | |
| It's hard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whenever I hear her say Target, no, I'm not driving you there. | |
| I will say, you know, it has been interesting watching the Walmart near me really up its game in terms of trying to be like, we're cute, we're fun. | ||
| They're trying to compete so hard. | ||
| I really respect it. | ||
| They're also paying more influencers, like just the normal influencers that I would like follow, who I don't know if Target really did this much, but I'm seeing a lot of like Walmart partnership push. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Walmart doesn't have insemination kits. | |
| Were they really stepping up their game? | ||
| I don't know that for sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or do they? | |
| That's the thing. | ||
| I'm gonna Google it right now. | ||
| JTS says, You're right, Tim. | ||
| I was raised by a single father. | ||
| I definitely do better in discipline area, but have way less social skills than my single mom friends. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| But it's interesting because if you have no discipline, are your social skills really gonna help you out? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, you need both. | ||
| Yeah, you do. | ||
| You need balance. | ||
| I think the issue is that with discipline, you can function and survive. | ||
| Without discipline, you're gonna struggle. | ||
| So even if you have discipline but no social skills, you'll figure it out. | ||
| But if you have social skills and no discipline, you're probably not gonna do so well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| That's why we say, single fathers do better than single mothers. | ||
| I think there's something still missing from the picture, but survival's probably higher. | ||
| PollyPuree says, where is Ian? | ||
| I don't know, ask him. | ||
| He's gone. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know, he's gone. | ||
| He's vanished. | ||
| He's a vaper. | ||
| Just, just gone. | ||
| You guys don't like Carter? | ||
| That's gonna hurt his feelings. | ||
| Hey, he's here. | ||
| And he'll be back. | ||
| He will be back. | ||
| Neglectful Sausage says, we want young kids to date more, but we'll keep using the term creep. | ||
| Women are frightened of average-looking males. | ||
| Creep-shaming is how we got here. | ||
| I think the issue is that men are scared of women. | ||
| Like, not, like, it's not so much women, it's the fear of social pressure that they'll post your picture on the internet, call you a creepo, and all these things, when in reality, you should just not care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you've seen it with, like, the new gym trend of, you know, men literally just working out, and then they get called creeps, or labeled certain things. | |
| Have you seen the morbidly obese woman being like, incels, they have like the neck beard and like, | ||
|
unidentified
|
you know, they're like Cheeto fingers and everyone's like- On the podcast and she's just drooping over her chair. | |
| And people are like, yo, dude, you know, chill. | ||
| The thing about that video is most incels are average looking dudes who just don't understand | ||
| what to do because they don't have the social skills. | ||
| So I do blame the parents quite a bit, but it's like, yo, look man, there's the old trope of, | ||
| You know, how do you, how come you see a short, ugly guy with a beautiful woman? | ||
| He's brave. | ||
| Is he a movie producer? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's all about talking. | |
| Does he own a cracker factory? | ||
| It's not necessarily all talking, it's like... Beauty matters. | ||
| So, to a guy... | ||
| Physical beauty matters more than mental capability, but mental capability plays a substantial role. | ||
| This is found in all of the dating analysis. | ||
| The reason why guys tend to want women in their mid-twenties as opposed to an 18-year-old or younger is due to the fact that they want someone who's more mature. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd hope they wouldn't want somebody younger than 18. | |
| No, no, you see, this is the scary thing. | ||
| The data found that in blind attraction tests, men rated 14-year-olds the most attractive. | ||
| Yeah, gross. | ||
| So when they show a picture to a guy and say, how would you rate this on a scale of 1 to 10? | ||
| The guys don't know the age or anything about the woman. | ||
| They would rate really, really high for very young women. | ||
| And that's why the models you see in magazines and in malls and lingerie stores, they're mostly like 15, 16 years old. | ||
| It's messed up, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's demented to me. | |
| How old is this study? | ||
| This might have been 10 years ago. | ||
| So what they found is actually guys are not attracted to 14 year olds. | ||
| They're attracted to 22 to 24 year olds and the reason is children are not smart and hard to be around and they will not provide for successful families. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But that's the only reason. | |
| Well, I mean, look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's horrible. | |
| Men find young girls to be physically attractive, but not worthy of starting families with. | ||
| My point is, ultimately, that it is gross. | ||
| It's kind of weird that that's what they found. | ||
| Ultimate attraction is not absolute physical attraction. | ||
| For guys, it was, are they mature and capable of being a good mom? | ||
| Physical beauty opens the door, but if the woman is not showing the capability to be a good mom, then attraction goes way down. | ||
| Like, obviously, we're not just like, well, you look good. | ||
| There are guys who are like that. | ||
| For women, it's more inverted. | ||
| Oh, being attractive opens the door. | ||
| But for women, it's more about status, capability, confidence. | ||
| And so, you know, if you're a dude, you absolutely don't have to be the tallest guy or the smartest guy. | ||
| Perseverance. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah, that's what it's all about. | ||

| Except for part of Tim and mostly Serge. | ||
| It's just been great. | ||
| Let's go white men. | ||
| That's going to be a terrible joke. | ||

Fire, you get your own show now. | |
| That's true. | ||
| I just talk about, let's go white men. | ||
| You heard it here first. | ||
| It's a new show we're launching. | ||
| It's called Why White Men Are Great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Toasted by me. | ||
| No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| Can't wait to see it. | ||
| What was I talking about? | ||
| Follow at TimCastNews on Instagram and X. It's the best. | ||
| You can see work for me and all the other journalists. | ||
| They work so hard. | ||
| They're excellent. | ||
| And if you want to follow me personally, I'm on Instagram at HannahClaire.B and I'm on Twitter or X or whatever it's called at HCBromo. | ||
| Over to another white man. | ||
| White man Carter Banks here, make music here at TimCast. | ||
| We've got a really busy week next week coming up. | ||
| Filming a music video for a secret song also. | ||
| I think two music videos, right? | ||
| Yeah, two to three, maybe. | ||
| And then we got our first live performance coming up. | ||
| Not going to say who that is, but working on that in December. | ||
| I'm gonna start teasing it real quick. | ||
| I'm just gonna start teasing it a little bit. | ||
| One of the songs we're putting out, maybe the next one, maybe not the next one, we'll see, is what I would describe as a What do you call it when a guy keeps hitting on a girl but she keeps telling him to go away? | ||
| It's that, but for The Daily Wire and us. | ||
| I don't want to say we're working with The Daily Wire and a thing, but you'll understand when it comes out and it's going to be hilarious. | ||
| You're not the girl being hit on in this scenario, you're the man. | ||
| Stop making it sound so lame! | ||
| No, but what I want to say is we're not working with them, but there is a relation to the project, and they're excited for it, and I don't want to say too much, because I don't know the degree to which we will pull off a collaboration, but I just want to say, like, we have something that is basically done, we got to do the video for, that involves The Daily Wire, and whether or not they're in on it as well is going to be up to them, but I know, like, we've discussed things, so I don't want to call it a collaboration just yet, because they may just, you know, stand by and clap for us, but we'll see. | ||
| I'll be happy with the claps. | ||
|

|
I wouldn't say that. | |
| Not the clap! | ||
