The Department of Homeland Security today raided the home of P. Diddy, resulting in | |
| a Twitter trend, the Diddler. | ||
| Batman's greatest arch nemesis, the Diddler, of course. | ||
| And I love this, I love Axe. | ||
| It's a great website. | ||
| It's awful, it's brilliant, all at the same time. | ||
| But yes, the Diddler. | ||
| So the allegations are that P. Diddy was involved in some serious sex trafficking. | ||
| And so we'll get into that story. | ||
| There's a rumor going around right now. | ||
| Someone's posted a flight log of a private jet leaving Los Angeles and heading to Cape Verde, which they claim has no extradition treaty. | ||
| I don't know that's true. | ||
| It's got over, I believe it's got like a million hits on Twitter. | ||
| It's going viral. | ||
| So we'll address that. | ||
| And I want to make sure we address the grain of salt. | ||
| We don't know for sure if this is Diddy's jet or what's going on. | ||
| And other nudes, other nudes, other nudes. | ||
| Donald Trump has some pretty good news coming for him. | ||
| His bond was reduced to $100 and I believe it was $175 million. | ||
| He's got 10 extra days to come up with the money, but that doesn't really matter now. | ||
| Because DWAC, or D-WAC as Fox News likes to call it, has just shot up 35%, making Trump now in the top 500 wealthiest people in the world, adding about $4 billion to his net worth. | ||
| So, oh boy! | ||
| And then of course, I'm in the news actually, because a couple days ago, I had this passive comment that I didn't think was that big of a deal. | ||
| There was an article about this woman who was on Sopranos, how she said she makes more money on OnlyFans than she did when she was on Sopranos, and I said, women choosing to be hookers instead of having jobs is an arc I didn't expect feminism to take. | ||
| I did not. | ||
| I didn't mean it as an insult. | ||
| I thought that was a plainly, like, kind of bland statement. | ||
| Like, wow, here we go. | ||
| Women are choosing to be hookers instead. | ||
| Well, apparently she took it as an insult. | ||
| A bunch of other women are insulted by the term hooker or whatever, which I didn't realize was offensive. | ||
| I just thought it was a descriptive term of what they were doing. | ||
| I just, whatever I guess, but now they're writing about me, and I'll take it though. | ||
| Daily Mail says I am one of the most successful conservative commentators, and I said calling me a conservative is an insult to conservatives, so we'll talk about that stuff too. | ||

| Don't forget. | ||

|
Go vote. | |
| I just want to get that message out there as much as possible. | ||
| Anyways. | ||
| And register your friends and family. | ||
| Like, get them to register. | ||
| Treated seriously, and there's a lot of efforts into legal ballot harvesting. | ||
| I recommend everyone take a look at it. | ||
| But let's jump into the big news today. | ||
| I can't believe we are opening a show talking about P. Diddy! | ||
| SCNR.com reports, Feds raid three homes owned by Sean Diddy Combs in connection with a sex trafficking case. | ||
| Three homes. | ||
| Producer has been accused of running a criminal racketeering enterprise that included murder, sex trafficking, illegal firearms, and drug trafficking. | ||
| Mansions in L.A., Miami, and New York were stormed by heavily armed agents with the U.S. | ||
| Department of Homeland Security on March 25th. | ||
| Homeland Security investigations confirmed the raids to TMZ and said the agency executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. | ||
| We will provide further information as it becomes available. | ||
| TMZ reported the case is being handled out of the Southern District of New York and is likely tied to sex trafficking allegations against Combs in multiple lawsuits in recent months. | ||
| Now, I'd love to claim, S-D-N-Y, it must be political bias, but P. Diddy, of course, is anti-Trump, so must not be it. | ||
| The music mogul has been fighting multiple legal battles, including from a woman who claims that Combs gang raped her at his New York recording studio after plying her with drugs and alcohol when she was only 17. | ||
| That case filed last December was the fourth assault lawsuit against Combs. | ||
| So, what I heard... | ||
| Is that what they would do is, they'd invite artists to studios to record or whatever, slip them something in their drink, once they got delirious and loopy, they would then film lurid acts with these people, male or female, and then once they came to, say, we're gonna ruin your life by posting this video unless you do exactly what we tell you from now on. | ||
| I don't know if that's true, those are just the rumors that I heard on the internet. | ||
| And as you know, if it's on the internet, it must be true. | ||
| The only thing that I would say about that particular rumor is that is a reapplication of the rumors about Epstein. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's the same thing as powerful people using sex as a blackmail tool. | ||
| So take it for what it's worth. | ||
| But you know, I mean, if multiple women are making accusations and stuff, you at least have to look into it. | ||
| And then when he jumps on a jet and is like, I'm getting off the CODIS! | ||
| I don't know how true this is, but it's got almost a million views, it's got thousands of retweets and quote-teats, and people are referencing it a lot. | ||
| This is just some, I don't know who this user is, they've got a couple thousand followers. | ||
| It's, uh, sure, they say it's Izdat, I don't know what their username is. | ||
| Private jet owned by Sean PDD Combs has left the US. | ||
| Combs residents were raided by DHS. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| The flight path of the plane appears to be headed towards Cape Verde. | ||
| Cape Verde has no extradition treaty with the U.S. | ||
| So, at the time of posting this, the plane was still in the air. | ||
| And as of right now, they've shared the tracking information. | ||
| There is a jet. | ||
| I don't know, it's just a publicly available website showing a jet landing in what appears to be St. | ||
| John's. | ||
| So, not Cape Verde, Antigua. | ||
| Is that how you say it? | ||
| Antigua? | ||
| Yeah, Antigua. | ||
| Antigua. | ||
| Do they have an extradition treaty with the U.S.? | ||
| I know nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't know about it. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| And I don't even know that that's actually his jet. | ||
| So, you know, no idea exactly what this means, but a lot of people are saying that he was basically doing what Epstein was doing. | ||
| If that is his jet, there are a lot of recording studios in the Caribbean and stuff like that. | ||
| Maybe he just wants to record an album, says Phil! | ||
| No, no, the point that I'm making is there would be places in the Caribbean that would be friendly to artists because of There's different types of royalties that you can get when you record outside of the United States. | ||
| There's a whole line of income that's available to artists if they record some stuff outside of the United States. | ||
| You can go and look the information up on Google. | ||
| So it would make sense for them to have connections in places like that and be like, all right, I'm going to go. | ||
| We're gonna go and record or whatever, so just because there's a plane going there that had alleged ties to P. Diddy doesn't mean it is actually him trying to escape the continental U.S. | ||
| It just looks funny, you know? | ||
| Real quick, just as an aside, the Diddler is trending. | ||
| He did that to himself. | ||
| I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the Homeland Security The Department actually does investigate international sex trafficking. | ||
| We've only had the worst sex trafficking operation in the history of humanity going on, enabled by President Biden, and of course the focus is on this Hollywood musical figure. | ||
| I tell you, I'm skeptical about everything the feds do. | ||
| I'm sure there's something to be investigated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I must agree! | |
| But the deployment of resources here seems to be out of the ordinary considering the crisis on the border with sex trafficking in numbers that would shock the conscience of any American citizen. | ||
| There are more federal agents and more guns that went to pick up P. Diddy at his house than are at many of the individual border locations where people go to seek asylum. | ||
| But how long until the Biden administration is like, look, you can't say we don't take human trafficking and sex crime seriously. | ||
| We do actually use our forces to take down the bad guys. | ||
| What point do they use this as a sacrilege? | ||
| I hate how much sense that makes. | ||
| It's awful, right? | ||
| I mean, I think you're totally right. | ||
| I mean, if we were serious about these types of crimes, we would immediately address the border. | ||
| But instead, there's sort of this, we'll get a flashy news story going and turn the attention away. | ||
| I mean, this feels like when the Biden administration is like, hey, did you guys hear about those UFOs that we're going to tell you about now? | ||
| Every time Hunter Biden gets in trouble. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, there's a thousand women sex trafficked into Los Angeles, right? | ||
| And you're in Homeland Security. | ||
| That's too hard. | ||
| We don't want to do that. | ||
| P. Diddy! | ||
| Well, the thing is, what's going to give you more bang for your buck? | ||
| Picking up P. Diddy? | ||
| It's going to be all over the news. | ||
| You're going to look like heroes, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Picking up nameless, faceless, trafficked people? | ||
| I mean... Embarrasses the administration? | ||
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| Between Senator Menendez, even Hunter Biden, I have a little sympathy for. | ||
| I don't trust any of the prosecutions. | ||
| Not that they're innocent or guilty or whatever. | ||
| The point is that the feds at this level don't make honest decisions when it comes to pursuing claims against people like P. Diddy, to Hunter Biden, to Senator Menendez. | ||
| And obviously Trump is the big kahuna in that regard. | ||
| But you can't trust the DOJ and Homeland Security. | ||
| They're so compromised when it comes to high-level investigations like this. | ||
| And I'm not saying Diddy did anything right or wrong, it's just, don't trust his enemies here. | ||
| The big question right now everyone's asking is, did Diddy do it? | ||
| Or didn't Diddy do it? | ||
| We don't know what Diddy did do or what Diddy didn't do. | ||
| I stole that from South Park! | ||
| That's a South Park joke, everybody knows it's a South Park joke, but I had to say it! | ||
| Did Diddy do it? | ||
| But who names themselves Diddy? | ||
| Like, where did this come from? | ||
| I'm just saying, maybe this has been an open secret for a long time. | ||
| He was, in fact, so open that he could make a cute nickname out of it. | ||
| It was Puff Daddy. | ||
| And then it was P. Diddy. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Sean Puffy Combs. | ||
| Sean Puffy Combs, yeah. | ||
| He should have stuck with Sean Puffy Combs. | ||
| That was the most, like, adult that also gave a throwback to when he was younger and where he came from. | ||
| It should have been Sean Puffy Combs. | ||
| Like, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You know, there was a period where, in his movie career, he just had The Rock. | ||
| And then they were like, Dwayne, quote, The Rock. | ||
| Now it's just Dwayne Johnson. | ||
| It's not as cool. | ||
| That's lame. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Rock. | |
| That one's a downgrade, in my opinion. | ||
| Look, he's currently playing in... | ||
| Wrestling in the WWE, so that means he's on Raw and stuff, and he's a heel now, and he's awesome. | ||
| I love the- I think he's great. | ||
| He started on WWE, I thought. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So he's just, like, circling back. | ||
| Well, yeah, he goes- he'll do stuff in movies, and he's so busy, when he gets to go back to WWE, it's a big deal, and he doesn't stay for a long time. | ||
| He just does one, you know, a couple little bits, one storyline, and he's off to do another thing. | ||
| But when he's there, he's still awesome in the ring, he's still great, he still delivers lines like it's nobody's business, he's still the greatest, most electrifying man in sports entertainment, he's great. | ||
| So. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| So do you think... | ||
| The man formerly known as Puff D, or what was he, Puff Daddy? | ||
| P. Diddy, Puff Daddy Combs. | ||
| I'm not cool enough to know this. | ||
| He's the Diddler now. | ||
| Do you think the Diddler will make an appearance on WWE? | ||
| This is the real question. | ||
| No. | ||
| How do you bounce back? | ||
| Not because, specifically not because Vince McMahon is currently under investigation or in a case regarding sexual assault and stuff. | ||
| He's got his own stuff. | ||
| The last thing he's gonna do is be like, yo, let's get this guy to come on over. | ||
| No, he's not doing that at all. | ||
| Antigua does have extradition. | ||
| So it's not clear he's been detained anywhere. | ||
| No, I don't even know that jet's actually his. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Everybody's just retweeting it because they want to believe it, but unless we can get hard verification on that tail number being owned by him, I just say, like, with these big breaking stories, you gotta take it with a grain of salt. | ||
| I mean, he could be, you know, they could be a raid that wasn't designed to have him arrested just to gather evidence, so who knows, right? | ||
| He's still coming home. | ||
| Well, I mean, I gotta agree with you, though, Tom. | ||
| I don't trust the feds. | ||
| When we have Dr. Phil saying that our tax dollars are funding sex trafficking, that these children are coming across the border from cartels, and the feds aren't doing anything about that. | ||
| In fact, quite the opposite, they're facilitating it. | ||
| The only thing I can assume is this raid is about the competition and not about actually trying to stop him because of a sworn moral duty. | ||
| They're like, hey, this is our thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get out of here, Sean. | |
| This is our thing! | ||
| That's our business and we will not allow you to participate. | ||
| So us, federal government, will shut you down. | ||
| Maybe? | ||
| I don't think so, but like, you know. | ||
| 12 million coming across the border, and this is the focus of Homeland Security. | ||
| I, like I said earlier, I think that this is, I mean, obviously if this isn't a real, you know, this is... No, it's still there. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Wait, no, it's gone, it's gone. | ||
| Obviously, if they have the evidence or they're collecting evidence, they have enough evidence to have a warrant and whatever and stuff, but there's no reason to trust the federal government anymore. | ||
| Everybody that is your average person or anyone that's gonna have any dealings with the federal government, they're always going to be thinking, is there something that I said or did that has brought this on me? | ||
| Or are they, or if I, obviously you're going to, you're going to want to have a lawyer before you speak to the police or whatever, the, to the law. | ||
| But, you know, like. | ||
| Never, never talk to, if you're ever under investigation. | ||
| Never, you have to have a lawyer. | ||
| Certainly not to the federal government. | ||
| Never, never do it without the advice of a lawyer. | ||
| It's the best thing Diddy could do, the Diddler could do is, is say the government's trying to frame me and curry support with people who already are scheduled. | ||
| He's got to go full MAGA. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| There are a lot of people who would be like, these are terrible crimes, I do want to take this seriously, but the federal government is sketchy, and so it does seem like we should give you the benefit of the doubt. | ||
| You kind of raised some interesting questions, right? | ||
| So he's going to, I would presume, consult a lawyer or two? | ||
| And the lawyers are going to have a kind of, you know, good lawyers are going to have a conservative approach to how to deal with the federal government. | ||
| But in a case like this, do you throw those rules out the window and go with the Trump approach saying, you know, they're setting me up, this is all just politics or whatever. | ||
| Whatever argument you use, it's relatively non-legal, but just raises issues about the investigation itself. | ||
| He's just got to show up at the next Trump rally, get on stage with Trump. | ||
| Oh, before you know it. | ||
| And just throw his support behind Trump and know that if he does that, if Trump gets elected, Trump will go ahead and just railroad the whole investigation. | ||
| Let him go. | ||
| He's fine. | ||
| That's his way out. | ||
| He's recording a real quick track called MAGA 2024. | ||
| That's why he flew to Antigua. | ||
| He's like, yeah, we were put on this new song and then the feds raided us. | ||
| I can't imagine what this is all about. | ||
| Featuring who's a Canadian rapper, Tom McDonald. | ||
| He'll make an appearance on it and be like, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I also like Trump. | ||
| No, in all seriousness though, if Diddy did try and come out as MAGA, it wouldn't work. | ||
| Trump supporters would be like, okay, Epstein Jr., like, nah, not interested. | ||
| Like, we're not buying it. | ||
| There's like video clips of him being like, Trump is bad or something. | ||
| I don't know what his political politics are. | ||
| Speaking of Epstein Jr., so you had these stories. | ||
| Come out about Nickelodeon. | ||
| So they had a half a dozen shows that were sexualizing children for what, a decade? | ||
| And no one did anything about it over there? | ||
| Well, I think the issue... How did we all miss that? | ||
| I guess adults weren't watching. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think people did. | |
| I think people talked about this for a long time. | ||
| I don't think the shows themselves had overt things. | ||
| It was behind the scenes. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| That's what I know. | ||
| Well, a few of the scenes were... | ||
| really outrageous even on air and that was uh that was kind of clear in some of the documentary i saw i know that uh drake bell is that his name drake bell yeah he made accusations he said he was actually abused by one of the guys yeah significantly abused well some of these young girls uh who was the uh who's the singer who used to be on there's a bunch of them well anyway selena gomez they had some who selena gomez no it was someone else um kind of like in that age group who was involved in sexualized content promoting | ||
| these programs. | ||
| Oh, Ariana Grande? | ||
| Maybe it was her. And I guess there had been a video of that out there. | ||
| It was Ariana Grande. | ||
| Really outrageous. And where were the adults, and this is a corporation, | ||
| you know, where's the responsibility? | ||
| The Justice Department, or Los Angeles County officials and law enforcement, should be investigating that corporation for criminal activity based on what I saw. | ||
| I heard this, I don't know if it's true, is it true that Nick Kel Odio means, I don't care for God? | ||
| Did you hear that? | ||
| That's what everyone started posting after the, it says Latin. | ||
| Nickelodeo is Latin for I don't care for God or something like that. | ||
| I don't know, Google it. | ||
| Nickelodeon is an old-timey word, isn't it? | ||
| Yeah, it was a jukebox. | ||
| You put a nickel in the Nickelodeon. | ||
| They're claiming now it's like satanic or something, so I'm like, well, I don't know. | ||
| Nickel what? | ||
| N-I-C-K-E-L-O-D-E-O, I think. | ||
| Nickelodeo. | ||
| So they've got evidence of sexualization of children, the abuse of children on these corporate-controlled sets, and our friends online get obsessed with Satanism in the name, as if that's the issue. | ||
| The truth is terrible, and they distract from the truth Yeah, well, to your point, Jeanette McCurdy, who's an actress who was on one of these shows, that was produced by Dan Schneider, who's got all these, like, people are starting to say he was very inappropriate, especially with young female actresses. | ||
| She wrote this book that went viral because it's called I'm Glad My Mom Is Dead. | ||
| It talks about her growing up in, you know, in Hollywood and what that experience was like. | ||
| But she alluded to the experiences she had on set. | ||
| She didn't come out, from what I remember about it, she didn't come out and say, these are the names, these are who you should go after. | ||
| But the book was so popular, it was, you know, because the title is so flashy, everyone heard about it. | ||
| It wasn't a secret. | ||
| I mean, I think Amanda Bynes, who, you know, has very publicly gone through some mental health struggles, also made similar accusations. | ||
| I mean, at a certain point, people have known for a long time, and why we decided now was the time to take them seriously, I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, but Hannah, it's one thing to have those allegations out there. | ||
| It's another thing to pull the thread and say, well, where were these people? | ||
| They were out there for a long time. | ||
| Why did no one pull the thread is my question. | ||
| And why now? | ||
| Why now does it feel okay to do this? | ||
| Is it because we as a culture have changed to say that we really don't trust Hollywood and we want to see the stuff come out? | ||
| Like, is Hollywood losing influence in a way that makes them more vulnerable? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't know either. | ||
| I was trying to find the Latin. | ||
| You're brushing up on your Latin over there? | ||
| It doesn't have anything that is definitive of it. | ||
| Nickelodeon has nothing to do with Satanism. | ||
| Oh, it's Nick Kalo Deo. | ||
| Dan, or something like that, but... That's what it was. | ||
| Yeah, if you type into Google Translate, Nick Kalo Deo, it says, I don't care about God. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's good news for Donald Trump! | ||
| Congratulations, a little fun there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, yeah, that's where we're at. | |
| Let's jump to the next big story. | ||
| It's good news for Donald Trump. | ||
| Trump's net worth hit $6.5 billion, making him one of the world's 500 richest people. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| You know, we've talked on this show about how we're so tuned into the news | ||
| that if we bought stock based on the things we were reading, we'd probably get rich. | ||
| And then we never do. | ||
| And no matter how many times we did a bunch of segments like, wow, look at that! | ||
| Dweck's stock is so valuable, Trump's gonna be worth $3 billion. | ||
| And then we just forget about it five minutes later. | ||
| And then today it jumps 35%, making Trump worth $6.5 billion. | ||
| And I was like, why don't I just buy the stocks and the news stories that I'm reading every day? | ||
| So that's what happened. | ||
| Well, that's standard investment advice. | ||
| What items do you use at your home all the time? | ||
| Buy stocks in it because you can bet a lot of other people are doing it too. | ||
| I'm just saying I should. | ||
| Are you on True Social? | ||
| I mean, I'm on it. | ||
| I don't use it though. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| I'm on it. | ||
| I'm not just saying I like it because it's a Trump site and all that. | ||
| I think it's a good little site. | ||
| You can say what you want within reason and it's good. | ||
| Here's the crazy thing about this though. | ||
| They're saying that most of the jump in price of DWAC is retail investors. | ||
| It's regular people putting in a couple bucks here and there, right? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| The AMC sort of crowd or something else like that? | ||
| Well, just Trump supporters. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So now, imagine this scenario where right before announcing they're running for president, an individual launches a company, prepares a SPAC, a Special Acquisition Corporation, preparing, timing this perfectly with the year of their election, and then Tell all their supporters, like, oh yeah, we're really excited for this acquisition. | ||
| Then all of these people's supporters buy stock, spiking the price, giving Trump a massive net worth. | ||
| He can then sell cash out and use that money for his campaign. | ||
| It's an interesting way of indirectly fundraising for a campaign. | ||
| Well, the fact that his name caused this spike, it highlights how significant his legal argument was with the Angoran fight. | ||
| about the value of his brand, which was discounted by the Democrat politician judge who tried to destroy his company. | ||
| This shows his brand obviously is worth something, and it may be elevated enormously because of his run for the presidency, but I suspect he'd be a billionaire or have a few extra billion no matter what he was doing with this program. | ||
| They're saying on Tuesday, the ticker will show DJT for the, yeah, for the search. | ||
| What a fun election year move. | ||
| But that's what I'm saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this means all of Trump's supporters right now are going to buy this stuff. | |
| They don't need to donate to Trump because the purchase of a single share drives the value up. | ||
| So it's an interestingly, I don't know. | ||
| It's a way to help them indirectly. | ||
| Indirectly, but it's not just that. | ||
| If someone donated to Trump 50 bucks, he would have that 50 bucks. | ||
| But if someone buys the share, and millions of people are buying shares, it's driving the price higher and higher and higher. | ||
| It may have a bigger impact. | ||
| A much bigger impact. | ||
| Trump could then offload a smaller portion of shares for a massive amount of money relative to what people actually bought shares for. | ||
| And here's where it gets crazy. | ||
| I don't know if he could do this or how it would work, But Trump simply says, we're really excited. | ||
| DJT is the new stock that's going to skyrocket. | ||
| We're thinking it's going to go a lot of money. | ||
| He's going to get non-supporters seeing a 35% increase in one day. | ||
| People who don't even like Trump, don't care for Trump, are going to be like, I'm going to make money if I buy this. | ||
| I might as well buy it. | ||
| Then they are effectively lending their power to Trump, who can then, after six months, so just before the election, offload a bunch, I believe six months is the standard for these special acquisition deals. | ||
| He can get a waiver, though, from that, right? | ||
| To offload the stocks before then. | ||
| And none of his fans would actually complain about it. | ||
| They'd say, please, yes, absolutely, Trump, do that. | ||
| And also, I mean, we were talking about this earlier, but he could take out a loan against the stocks too, because the values there, stock and stuff like that. | ||
| And that's what Musk does, right? | ||
| He kind of uses his loan, his stock value as collateral for all this funding. | ||
| So he could very easily come up with the, well, I don't know about very easily, but I assume that he could very easily come up with A loan to cover what he needs to cover in this and to fund the rest of his campaign if he wanted to. | ||
| I don't know if it's legal or not. | ||
| I'm not saying that he should. | ||
| I could be totally wrong about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I don't know. | |
| I think there is no limit on self-funding of a campaign. | ||
| So, I mean, theoretically he could. | ||
| He could just be like, all right, I'll take out a loan against this stock and then... When did retail investment become legal? | ||
| That was under Obama, right? | ||
| Was it the Jobs Act or something? | ||
| Oh, I think it was legal before then. | ||
| It's just a matter of... | ||
| No, I don't think so. | ||
| You had to be an accredited investor. | ||
| There were limits on how you would do it. | ||
| You had to be an accredited investor with an income of at least $250,000. | ||
| No, no, I could be wrong. | ||
| That's not for stocks, right? | ||
| Obviously I'm wrong on that one. | ||
| That's for direct investment into a startup or something like that. | ||
| Yeah, there may be different rules for like IPOs and things like that. | ||
| I think this is just the ubiquity of apps making it very easy and accessible for the average person. | ||
| Now we're entering this new... | ||
| It might be that, um, there was something passed that allowed, um, because what Robinhood and stuff, you're not actually purchasing the stock. | ||
| They own the stock and you're purchasing. | ||
| That's why you can purchase a small piece of it. | ||
| So I think what you're thinking of is there was an act that made that legal. | ||
| So go ahead. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| No, it was something like that. | ||
| I know that maybe you need specific brokerage accounts that operated like bank accounts. | ||
| Now it's like a really simple app where you put money in and yeah, you don't actually own the stock or something like this, but now where we are, Think about the fundraising potential for future presidential campaigns where you don't even need... You can tell somebody before you even run, be like, you know, you didn't get a donate to a campaign. | ||
| Buy stock in their company on the public market using one of these apps. | ||
| And then later on, they could sell against that to anyone who wants it. | ||
| And you get to keep that piece of the company. | ||
| You keep your value. | ||
| It might encourage more businessmen to enter politics. | ||
| One of the reasons he's successful is because he has a demonstrated record of success in business that people value, and you're seeing that here. | ||
| So other businessmen may say, hmm, there may be something here for me to pursue as well. | ||
| Part of me is surprised that they haven't already come up with some kind of cryptocurrency to do that. | ||
| They did. | ||
| There already was a DJT currency, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
FJB. | |
| FJB. | ||
| Oh, well, like a Donald Trump crypto, you mean? | ||
| Well, not particularly a Donald Trump, because the concept he's talking about, you could purchase the cryptocurrency, which is funding the candidates. | ||
| Candidacy is the thought process. | ||
| And then if the candidate wins, in theory, the cryptocurrency would become worth more. | ||
| I don't know what other function they would have. | ||
| But what you're talking about with the Donald Trump stuff is he was doing NFTs and he was calling them trading cards. | ||
| But he was calling them trading cards so that way boomers would understand what they were, because a boomer has no idea. | ||
| He's always been good at marketing. | ||
| He sold them out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This guy could sell OrangeCoin or MagaCoin or whatever he makes. | |
| He sold them out. | ||
| He sold all of them. | ||
| And because they're NFTs, they're non-fungible, so each one is individually different from the others because of the picture in it and blah blah blah. | ||
| It was pretty smart marketing. | ||
| Imagine this. | ||
| In the 2028 election, every Democrat or Republican candidate is the majority shareholder in a company that is about to be merged into a special purpose acquisition corporation. | ||
| And the platform they get from the national campaign cycle, they tell their supporters, we're really excited for the launch of our company, so, you know, take a look. | ||
| On your own, as like, let's say you were a mayor of a small town. | ||
| You ain't gonna sell any shares in your stupid little company. | ||
| You're on a presidential election cycle in a primary or whatever. | ||
| It's going to boost you substantially. | ||
| And then you don't care if you win or lose. | ||
| You are going to get access to a base that you would never have gotten before to buy shares in your company indirectly. | ||
| You don't got to tell them directly to do it. | ||
| And that cranks the price of your shares up and then you cash out once the campaign's over. | ||
| Well, I guarantee you, if it's not already in the news stories tonight, the Biden administration, because I know they were sniffing around this whole deal, We'll launch an investigation into Trump World for being successful. | ||
| Letitia James or people of her political, you know, her allies politically in State Attorney General's offices will also launch investigations. | ||
| So this is just going to be another magnet for the regime to focus on in its effort to turn the country into a one-party state. | ||
| I think, I wonder if the strategy then for Trump would be to maximize these vectors, forcing the deep state and people of ill repute, like Letitia James, to continually go after Trump's businesses to the point where it's an absurdity. | ||
| Just literally whatever he does, they make some ridiculous claim about, overload the system. | ||
| Yeah, I was thinking earlier today, I was thinking, you know, if there's a new Democrat administration, whether it be this next term or two terms from now, I'm thinking Twitter's done. | ||
| I'm thinking Musk is going to be thrown out of Twitter somehow by the government. | ||
| And what happened up against Trump in New York, I think that's a sign, a frightening sign, as to what will happen to anyone who crosses the regime. | ||
| And they were willing to seize his company, they still could, destroy his ability to run for office. | ||
| All based on a fraud charge, literally a charge that's based on a fraudulent interpretation or application of the law. | ||
| That's only a state government too, that's not even a federal government. | ||
| And the feds have invested, I'm not blowing, you know, I'm not saying Elon Musk deserves the same sort of protection that, or protection that no one else gets, but What he's doing is so damaging to the left's narratives and their plans for our country. | ||
| He's going to have to go from their perspective. | ||
| And I think Twitter is going to end under the next Democrat administration. | ||
| I think that you're right. | ||
| I think that the effect of an Elon Musk tweet cannot be overstated. | ||
| I mean, any tweet that he tweets, it's, you know, teens, 20s, 30 million people, you know, see everything that he does. | ||
| His reach is extremely broad. | ||
| Yeah, it is dramatic. | ||
| Brutally critical of the regime. | ||
| And the criticism are almost always have significant substance. | ||
| It's not frivolous. | ||
| It's not just, oh, silly stuff. | ||
| He's talking about the border, which is probably the thing that people are most upset with the Biden administration about. | ||
| And its impact on elections, which is frightening to the left. | ||
| You have to be exposed? | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| The way that he articulated the consequences of illegal immigration for the Electoral College, for the Congress itself, for the makeup of Congress. | ||
| I don't know that the average person is aware of it, but it's certainly not at the top of their mind or the front of their mind. | ||
| But when they hear Elon Musk talk about it or Elon Musk tweeted about it, they're like, Oh yeah, that really does, doesn't it? | ||
| That's how they figure out how Congress gets apportioned by the Census. | ||
| And the Census doesn't ask if you're a citizen or not, and the people that are... It's like Donald Trump wanted to make that a question. | ||
| Everyone's like, that horrible racist wanting to know who's here legally as a citizen in the country. | ||
| Yeah, and the thing is, the argument that you get, and I have said this previously here on IRL, but the argument you get is, The people that are illegal don't want to talk to people in government, they don't want to tell the truth and stuff, but the people that are doing the census are absolutely motivated to make sure that the people there know that they're not going to come back with the cops. | ||
| Because the people that are doing the census want to know how many people are there, the real number, because the more people, the more funding the city's going to get. | ||
| Or whatever locale that's doing the actual census. | ||
| So the idea that the incentives are not all lined up for the people to tell them the number of people, especially without the fact that they're not going to ask if they're citizens, that's ridiculous to say the incentives aren't there. | ||
| Well, let's jump to the story from NBC News. | ||
| We love NBC News. | ||
| New York appeals court reduces Trump's bond in his civil fraud case to $175 million, a victory for the former president. | ||
| They also gave him an additional 10 days to post the bond. | ||
| I'm going to pause there to make sure we don't lose sight of what's happening. | ||
| It is a small victory in this battle and it is a major loss. | ||
| Trump shouldn't have to pay any bond. | ||
| He shouldn't have to give any money. | ||
| And what the government here is pulling off is a big ask. | ||
| They slam Trump with the most absurd amount of money in a fine in history. | ||
| These bonds don't exist. | ||
| Then when everyone's shocked, they go, okay, okay, fine, how about $175 million? | ||
| And now we're supposed to go, oh, okay, great, yes, you get him, Trump's winning. | ||
| No, it should be $0. | ||
| The charges are ridiculous. | ||
| It was a summary judgment. | ||
| The New York Times lied about this. | ||
| In their story about the bond, they wrote, in a months-long trial, the judge said this or that. | ||
| No, no, no, no, see, they're conflating. | ||
| What was actually going on? | ||
| The judge ruled summarily that Trump committed fraud. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Verdict first, evidence never. | ||
| Yep, and then they did a different hearing on whether, they said that it was fraud, Trump did commit fraud, but did he alter documents? | ||
| Now we'll have a trial to make that determination and how much money he has to pay. | ||
| So, in that trial, by giving the summary judgment, Trump was not allowed to say he did not commit fraud, and his lenders were not allowed to say that Trump did not commit fraud. | ||
| Yeah, and Gorin had, as you say, a summary decision, and this is an attempt by the political courts in New York. | ||
| They are political, and you're typically a judge there because you've been selected or elected as a Democrat, for the most part. | ||
| And this is an attempt to kind of pull back a little bit because of the public outrage You're right. | ||
| It is not exactly the sort of victory we would want in light of the abuse of Trump, but it is a major slap at Angoran and Letitia James, who were willing to seize a man's private property based on this 454 billion, 440, whatever the number was, a half a billion dollars. | ||
| And the court just said, in addition to that, you're not seizing anything. | ||
| But Trump has, the New York Times estimates $350 million cash on hand personally, and then I think his presidential campaign is what, between like around $50 million or something, $40 something? | ||
| Right. | ||
| To take $175 million out of- Off the table, I know, I know. | ||
| Right, so I don't want to fall into that trap where we're like, yes! | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| They intentionally threw out a number they knew would get struck down and reduced to a massive number that would be deemed accessible. | ||
| And what's the basis for this number? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Does it sound better than 464 million? | ||
| Is that the legal standard? | ||
| They're making it up as they go along. | ||
| They're trying to keep Trump off the ballot, out of the election. | ||
| And this isn't even about clean elections. | ||
| The left has now decided they don't want elections. | ||
| And when you try to jail your number one candidate or remove his name from the ballot, that's something Putin would recognize, the dictator in China would recognize. | ||
| And it's going on up in New York City. | ||
| The Bragg trial, the crazy trial over the Stormy Daniels stuff, that's gonna be in three weeks! | ||
| God, that's actually gonna... Well, Letitia James' office, after this, you know, victory, so to speak, came out, her office released a statement saying, well, you know, Trump is still being held accountable for their crimes. | ||
| You know, she's not even that upset about it, which should tell you that this is really not a victory for Trump. | ||
| And the process is a punishment, too. | ||
| Yeah, the only way this is a victory is if there was some kind of slapdown of Letitia James so badly And possibly charges against her for fraudulently prosecuting. | ||
| I think that's the only way where you could be like, that's a victory. | ||
| Because if there isn't consequences for this kind of corruption, then it's only saying, hey, the corruption is actually acceptable. | ||
| The level of corruption, maybe we went a little bit overboard, but it's still fine that we have a summary judgment and we tried to take the property of an American citizen who has clearly not been found guilty There should be. | ||
| conventional means. What's the likelihood that Letitia James would ever face even an ethics inquiry? | ||
| Zero. Why are no conservatives, no Republicans doing anything comparable? There should be. Well, | ||
| certainly the Bidens could be subject to state criminal investigations under the new rules. | ||
| And what really frustrates me is the Republican-controlled House had a chance to | ||
| give a haircut to people like Letitia James or Bragg, defund the Smith investigation, | ||
| target funding for Fulton County, and say, if you're violating the civil rights of Donald | ||
| Trump and other Americans for political purposes and for election interference, | ||
| you're not going to do it with any federal money directly or indirectly, | ||
| and we're going to curtail that. | ||
| They didn't care. | ||
| They just fully fund the corruption that's going on right now. | ||
| I'm tired of it. | ||
| I'm tired of it. | ||
| And I appreciate there are some good conservatives on the Hill, but I think they're often just oblivious to the damage this is doing to our republic. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I think we need state-level Republicans in Governor's office, AGs, attorneys general, or prosecutors to just go after Biden or any of these other individuals in a comparable way. | ||
| I can only see the strategy here being let them make Trump the victim. | ||
| And the Republicans don't want to come off as like what the Democrats are and give a tit for tat. | ||
| The next honest president should direct the Justice Department to criminally investigate this whole group of prosecutors for abusing their power to violate the civil rights and interfere with our elections under the color of law. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Agreed! | ||
| That's the only way to get the message to other prosecutors that are politically motivated that this isn't going to be tolerated. | ||
| We have to have a government that doesn't tolerate this kind of stuff. | ||
| Now, whether or not this is actually going to happen, I don't believe that it's going to happen. | ||
| We want to see a return to normalcy in the United States the way that you hear people talk about all the time. | ||
| Well, the very first thing is the justice system has to work properly. | ||
| That means when you commit a crime, you get prosecuted. | ||
| If you've committed a violent crime, they take you off the streets. | ||
| If you've committed no crime, then you don't get prosecuted. | ||
| That is not too much to expect from a justice department or from a justice system. | ||
| And if you don't get that from your justice system, then you need to revamp it. | ||
| But all ours needs is to get the ideologues out of positions of authority, Take away their power to prosecute people for political reasons and take away their ability to create conditions in which they can fabricate charges to put people under. | ||
| And until that happens, we're not going to trust our justice system and a low-trust society is a bad society. | ||
| Yeah, it's really bad. | ||
| I mean, this is, I think you're right, the next honest president should act. | ||
| On the other hand, in between then, how much damage is done by people not doing anything to sort of slow this process down. | ||
| I think, I mean, Letitia James definitely is the lead on this, but there are a lot of AGs who are ideologically driven. | ||
| She just happens to control sort of the most influential left-leaning state in this sense. | ||
| Well, I think we've got a rising communist revolution going on in the United States. | ||
| The Democrats were talking about communists, no, but they are certainly taking their approach. | ||
| Where the rule of law doesn't apply to my political opponents, we can casually try to jail them without consequence. | ||
| They're communists! | ||
| Well, the point being, if it walks like a duck... But that's the sort of thing we're facing, right? | ||
| And so they try to threaten Supreme Court justices, they're destroying our sovereignty through the border invasion. | ||
| Antifa's violence, their riots and stuff, that is unquestionably a left-leaning militia. | ||
| That is out to terrorize the population. | ||
| They're planning to overturn the election if Trump wins, not because there's fraud, not because there was a problem in the way the elections were administered, but because they don't think Trump should be president. | ||
| So they want to overturn the election, they're planning that, and under the DOJ new rules that's a conspiracy to commit a crime and engage in sedition. | ||
| What else do we need to say that we've got a political movement in this country that opposes America? | ||
| It's not unconstitutional. | ||
| It's this anti-constitutional approach. | ||
| It's very dangerous. | ||
| And I tell you, Republicans in the House who kind of took, you know, basically ignored and have been AWOL on these issues, the base is very upset with them. | ||
| And I don't know what's going to happen in November. | ||
| It wouldn't surprise me if they lost completely even if Trump won. | ||
| I want to give a shout out to Netflix. | ||
| Jack Posobiec brought this up last week. | ||
| Three body problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have you seen any of that? | |
| It's worth watching just for the first scene to see what we're dealing with. | ||
| I'll tell you this. | ||
| I give the show a C+. | ||
| C+. | ||
| I've watched every episode. | ||
| Very slow. | ||
| Too much interpersonal drama. | ||
| Opening scene. | ||
| Too much dialogue. | ||
| Well, there's not enough story. | ||
| I know, I'm just joking. | ||
| Like, you know, I don't want to spoil any of the show, but I'll give you a general example when it's like, there's a secret agent, and he's been captured by the villain, and you're like, oh man, what's gonna happen next? | ||
| And then it cuts to a guy and a woman being like, how was your day? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I stubbed my toe, and I'm like, ugh. | ||
| Next, next, next. | ||
| But, the opening scene. | ||
| Well, you're not spoiling it. | ||
| Talk about what the scene is. | ||
| Yeah, the opening scene is the Chinese culture revolution, where they've got a physics professor in a dunce cap, and they're beating him, telling him to reject science as they all scream and wave the red books. | ||
| He's gotta see it. | ||
| The wife comes out, and she's like, thank you, youth! | ||
| Through the revolution, I've realized that science is all wrong! | ||
| And they're cheering for her. | ||
| For context for people that haven't seen it, they are literally questioning him for teaching Einstein's theory of relativity. | ||
| And I've said this before on the podcast and this drives it home. | ||
| The communists have a total different understanding and worldview. | ||
| And this isn't just like the way they look at things. | ||
| Things that you're used to seeing every day. | ||
| It is a basic fundamental difference. | ||
| They don't believe that you can be in contact with reality the same way that we can. | ||
| They believe that if you speak certain words, it's like they believe magic. | ||
| They believe that words have power to the point where they can speak things into existence, which is represented by the demand that you call a trans woman a woman. | ||
| Because to them, the words have power. | ||
| They don't believe in overarching narratives because they want to be able to select a narrative that gives them a position of power in whatever context it is. | ||
| So science and things that are fundamental and unchanging, things like the speed of light and the ideas in relativity and stuff, those kind of things are rejected by A western construct, right? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| They're western constructs. | ||
| That's why syncoism was a thing. | ||
| And we mock it, right? | ||
| Too often we mock it. | ||
| They don't see it as funny. | ||
| It's perfectly consistent within their worldview, and that's why they're immune to our mocking and criticism, largely. | ||
| I'm about to say we don't mock it and criticize it, but they're not flummoxed by it at all. | ||
| I want to give a minor spoiler alert warning. | ||
| In the next 30 seconds, there will be a minor spoiler for the show, Three Body Problem, because I need to, I want to make a point about the writing, which is really, really good. | ||
| So, let me say it one more time. | ||
| There's a viral clip going around. | ||
| It's all over X because, I mean, this is Netflix. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's showing, it's like their hot new show. | ||
| Right when you log into Netflix, there's this big banner. | ||
| It's like Three Body Problem, which is a reference to like three gravitational bodies and being able to, not being able to track them. | ||
| It's a math problem, I guess. | ||
| So, right when you start the show, I'm like getting ready for bed last week after Jack Pasoek mentioned it, and he mentioned that they depicted the Culture Revolution. | ||
| They actually did it, which is crazy for a company to do. | ||
| And so, I'm getting ready for bed, and normally it's like, you know, turn the light off, turn the TV on, watch for like half an hour or whatever, go to the bathroom. | ||
| I just stood there, right in the middle of my room, staring at the TV, and my girlfriend's like, what are you doing? | ||
| And I was like, Watch! | ||
| Holy! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was like instantly, I was like, wow! | |
| It's terrifying. | ||
| Now, I'll give you a quick spoiler. | ||
| For those that don't want to hear it, it's not a spoiler of the whole show. | ||
| General premise point, because if you read a synopsis of the show, this is probably spoiled for you already anyway. | ||
| So it's a woman who watches the very opening scene. | ||
| They kill her father for being a physicist. | ||
| They beat him to death because he refuses to accept the revolution. | ||
| Right. | ||
| She becomes a political dissident. | ||
| And then the story, okay, this is like, they tell you this right away, but it is a spoiler. | ||
| They're working on communicating with extraterrestrials and she makes contact and wants to be conquered. | ||
| So the general premise of the show is brilliant. | ||
| A woman who was a victim of the culture revolution and these communist revolutionaries who believe we're gonna destroy the old world and kill everybody because we're morally right, she immediately adopts the exact same ideology. | ||
| That's the premise. | ||
| It's such a great writing. | ||
| And it shows you it's still Netflix film in the end because they're sympathetic to that approach. | ||
| Oh, she saw all these terrible things that are going on in the world in China. | ||
| She reads Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which was some left-wing polemic that said the environment was going to collapse within three years, and it was written in 1968, so obviously that wasn't true. | ||
| And so she uses that as an excuse to push for the extermination of humanity. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| I don't want to get too much into the spoilers, though. | ||
| After two episodes, you know what's going to happen. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| We're describing basically the first episode. | ||
| They lay it all out for you. | ||
| But I think first two episodes. | ||
| There's a lot of plot holes. | ||
| Yeah, I haven't watched the past two episodes. | ||
| A lot of plot holes. | ||
| But the political writing I do like, but a lot of plot holes. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story. | ||
| Daily Mail reports Governor Ron DeSantis signs bill banning children under the age of 14 from using social media. | ||
| It would require 14 and 15 year olds to obtain parental consent to have accounts. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| What say you, panel? | ||
| They're 14 years old. | ||
| Their parents make the decisions. | ||
| I'm not like... I think it's fine. | ||
| I think it's weird that the internet became this place where, because they decided 12 was the age you could make your own profile, therefore parents shouldn't be involved when kids made a profile at 12. | ||
| Like, that seems bizarre to me. | ||
| I don't know where the age came from. | ||
| Except for maybe I do. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Except for maybe I do! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Except for maybe! | |
| We all know what's going on here. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| We had Goatsy. | ||
| We had Lemon Party. | ||
| We had Meat Spin. | ||
| And anybody who's been on the internet for a long time knows exactly what those horrible things are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And even knowing those things... I think that passed to all of us. | |
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Knowing these things, these people who made these companies were like, we think 13 is a good age for the internet. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| We've talked about it amongst ourselves and based on our judgment we think that we should have 13 year olds online. | ||
|
unidentified
|
18! | |
| I think that like the I think parents should be empowered to be involved in their children's lives and I think the internet is no different right? | ||
| In some ways I think the internet got marketed to so many people as just this this place where there's information and silly videos and that's obviously not true. | ||
| So they shouldn't have accounts on It seems to me on X, they should not have accounts on Facebook. | ||
| I don't think there's any way a minor can interact in a way that can be policed, even with parental permission. | ||
| So I, you know, I just don't see how that would work. | ||
| Didn't you need a .edu email to make a Facebook way back in the day? | ||
| Because it was like specifically for... I could be wrong on this. | ||
| Maybe, maybe you're right. | ||
| Like when it first started, because it was about networking among college students, at least then you're over 18. | ||
| Can we address the fact that Twitter's minimum age is 13 and they allow porn? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| But why is it still like this? | ||
| I thought Elon Musk took over! | ||
| There should not be... So the fact that the state of Florida has passed legislation, you know, for Florida, that's going to be probably minimally effective at doing anything. | ||
| It really comes down to the parents, honestly. | ||
| These kind of things. | ||
| This is like... | ||
| You know, what time should your kids go to bed? | ||
| Questions. | ||
| This is making sure that your kids, this is making sure your kids are taking care of their own hygiene kind of things, or you're teaching them how to take care of their own hygiene kind of things. | ||
| This is basic parent stuff. | ||
| And if you're not, like, doing this, then you're dropping the ball as a parent. | ||
| I'm sorry if it upsets you, but that's the truth. | ||
| There are certain things that you are responsible for by being a parent, and being a parent means you're responsible for your kid. | ||
| And that means what your kid's doing. | ||
| And just because your kid can have a conversation with you doesn't mean your kid is an adult. | ||
| And you don't want to be your kid's friend. | ||
| You want to be your kid's parent. | ||
| So grow up, millennials. | ||
| You guys are awful. | ||
| So I'm wondering how easy it would be for a child to bypass these requirements in order to get an account, and I think that's one of the challenges. | ||
| I mean, of course! | ||
| Well, and different states have proposed different ways around this. | ||
| Like, some of them you need to express written content from the parents. | ||
| Look, everybody knows that, like, the people that have kids that are working at these social media companies, they have flip phones. | ||
| They all have flip phones. | ||
| Their kids aren't allowed on these platforms. | ||
| And kids would find their dad's magazines. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| But you don't open the door for them. | ||
| There's like a certain age where maybe you talk to your kids. | ||
| You don't leave them in the kid's room. | ||
| You don't hand them to your kid. | ||
| Here you go, kid. | ||
| I'll get you a new one every month. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| They go into the 7-Eleven and I don't know if they still do this. | ||
| I don't think 7-Eleven has the magazine rack anymore, do they? | ||
| I don't think it has. | ||
| No, I don't. | ||
| But they used to have the dirty magazines in the rack, but they'd be in black plastic so you couldn't see them, you'd just see the top or whatever. | ||
| Yet we don't let kids go in and just buy these things. | ||
| How have we opened the door on social media for all this stuff? | ||
| Again, I think it's because when the internet came out, people just did not understand what was being opened up, and it seemed like it was a necessity before people really understood the implications of having access to, you know, everything the internet has, both good and evil, and also allowing the internet into your home, which is like inviting strangers in your home. | ||
| Well, you know, it's Satan. | ||
| That's why we have it on the internet. | ||
| You know, I don't use this term lightly. | ||
| These are demonic forces trying to destroy our children, and let's be blunt about it. | ||
| There's nothing intellectual about it. | ||
| It is a dark, evil movement within our country trying to target sexual activity at our kids, trying to justify adult interaction with children of a sexual nature. | ||
| Absolutely demonic. | ||
| It's all justifiable in queer theory. | ||
| This is a topic that keeps coming up because everything horrible is essentially in queer theory. | ||
| The theory goes That the idea of childhood innocence or the idea of innocence at all must be thrown out false Because it's a it's a construct There is no innocence and you can see it when you read queer theory papers by there's one by little miss hot mess She says that even that's her name. | ||
| I didn't make it up. | ||
| I'm not lying here She says that kids are kinky or or you know, they say that kids are kinky Gail I think it's Gail Rubin wrote Thinking Sex, and that is full of absolute disgusting things. | ||
| She talks about intergenerational relationships. | ||
| Foucault, who is a Marxist, post-modernist Marxist, he was working to get the French government to roll back the age of consent, and at the time it was 15. | ||
| Yeah, it's disgusting, and it goes back to- He was like, not enough! | ||
| Yeah, and even Herbert Marcuse, who I've talked about a bunch of times, he's a disgusting leftist slimeball that was basically writing papers justifying anything the left wants to do. | ||
| He wrote this book called Eros and Civilization, which is full of just It's just deviance and it's something that the left does | ||
| because the left wants to break down rules about purity because it doesn't believe in the rules | ||
| that anyone makes. | ||
| Well I wonder if the if the I'm pretty sure under an actual communist regime | ||
|
unidentified
|
you deviate, you degenerate, they gulag you and beat you to death. | |
| The issue is breaking the family destroys the working order which allows them to take over. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So they want no competitor to their cadres. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The theory... The family, education, religion... | ||
| So the stuff that you guys are talking about, that is the method of allowing the communists to take power. | ||
| That's how they break down the family, they break down the structures that are basically the pillars of your society. | ||
| They break those down and that allows them access to power. | ||
| And then they'll go ahead and start trying to literally tear your society apart because they don't want to, specifically the queer theorists, because they don't believe in rules. | ||
| They literally just say, we don't, any rules, are to be cast off as some kind of oppression. | ||
| So they say that the law puts the onus on social media companies to enforce the ban, | ||
| and failure to do so could result in damages of anywhere between $10,000 and $50,000. | ||
| I say good. | ||
| I say good too. | ||
| So do parents have a right to sue if there's a... they don't fail? | ||
| Or who enforces it? | ||
| Is it civilly enforced by parents? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Seems like it's enforced by the state. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| A fine per infraction. | ||
| And I hope Twitter is... I should say X is the first to say, yeah, okay, we shouldn't have 15 year olds 14- I don't even know if I agree with the 14 to 15 year olds, to be honest. | ||
| Unless Elon Musk- It's really, really simple. | ||
| Anybody- Any adult content posted on the site should be auto-blurred unless you're logged in and confirmed to be the right age. | ||
| And I mean, send in your ID for verification. | ||
| What good comes from having anyone under the age of 18 on these sites? | ||
| Nothing! | ||
| And the funny joke is, on the internet, no one knows you're 14. | ||
| Now the original joke is like, no one knows you're a golden retriever or something like this, but how many people... | ||
| Are right now, 40-year-old men, 50-year-old men, 35-year-old men and women, and they're arguing with a 13-year-old. | ||
| And they're posting something like, the progressive tax system is an oppressive machine and we should switch to a flat tax. | ||
| And they get a response, you're an idiot, you have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
| They start debating, and it's some 12-year-old being like... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It happens all the time! | ||
| Being trolled. | ||
| Yup! | ||
| 4Joel has no idea! | ||
| So there's a funny- But smart enough to troll you, though. | ||
| There's a funny meme, and it was someone saying, oh, my politics? | ||
| It's the opposite of whoever I'm trolling right now. | ||
| It's all the rules being torn away from you. | ||
| to the internet. There's something that I just there was a point that I | ||
| wanted to make that I've just lost right off as soon as I was about to talk so | ||
| sorry. It's all the rules being torn away from you. I mean I think the weirdest | ||
| thing about social media has always been that it desires access to your children | ||
| it desires access to minors and it's like inviting a stranger in your home. | ||
| I mean, think of Snapchat. | ||
| Snapchat is incredibly popular among teenagers. | ||
| What is Snapchat? | ||
| It's a messaging app where you talk to someone and it disappears! | ||
| Like, I'm sorry! | ||
| That's crazy! | ||
| Can you imagine if you were, like, talking to a 45-year-old guy and they were like, Phil, can I just on my own privately send disappearing messages to your, I don't know, 12-year-old nephew? | ||
| You'd be like, get out of here, you creep! | ||
| So the point that I wanted to make is like me and Tom remember when like when the internet was first you know became a thing that you could actually get at access to at your home. | ||
| Everyone knew you didn't give any information out to anyone on the internet. | ||
| You didn't talk you like everything was secret and you don't let anyone find out where you live and you're not nowadays people like kids can't keep their butthole off the internet. | ||
| But again, I think of all of, like, influencer culture, which relies on people oversharing for attention and engagement in the pseudo-relationship they have with people. | ||
| I mean, this was the number one choice of career among Gen Z, right? | ||
| They all want to be influencers because they think it'll be great. | ||
| And, you know, live your dreams, I guess, but also this is maybe not something you should start doing until you're 18. | ||
| Let's talk about moral degeneracy. | ||
| We have this story from the Daily Mail. | ||
| Drea de Mateo blasts conservative commentator Tim Pool after he called the Soprano star a hooker for joining OnlyFans, quote, stop taking shots at struggling single moms. | ||
| I object to this. | ||
| I'm not a conservative. | ||
| You should sue them for defamation. | ||
| That's an insult to conservatives. | ||
| But they do say Tim Pool is one of the biggest conservative influencers in the U.S. | ||
| Okay, well... It's like, do I get mad about it? | ||
| I'm not a conservative. | ||
| Influencer is a weird word, isn't it? | ||
| It is, right? | ||
| It is. | ||
| So, let me tell you guys a story. | ||
| I did a segment on it earlier, but... Actually, I'll just show you the tweet because they have it here. | ||
| I tweeted... Alright, alright. | ||
| There's a barstool sports story. | ||
| Drea DeMatteo made more in one month on OnlyFans than on The Sopranos. | ||
| I responded, women deciding to be hookers instead of having jobs is an arc I didn't expect feminism to take. | ||
| Now to be completely honest, I thought that was actually kind of a benign tweet. | ||
| I did not actually think I was tweeting anything largely inflammatory, though it did end up getting 4.5 million views. | ||
| I guess I don't know the weight of my own tweets sometimes. | ||
| My point was not to insult Drea in any way. | ||
| I don't care what she does. | ||
| And I didn't realize hooker was an insult. | ||
| It's quite literally what they're doing on OnlyFans. | ||
| I'm like, you are taking requests from men to post sexually suggestive content in exchange for money. | ||
| I'm like, just because we've changed the medium by which women can sell sex from the brothel to now over the phone, doesn't mean you're not a sex worker. | ||
| And this is the funny thing. | ||
| Everyone agrees they're sex workers, and I'm like, so they're hookers. | ||
| I'm from Chicago, we just said hooker. | ||
| You have a very inclusive view of the word hooker, you know. | ||
| I just thought it was a general term for a woman who engaged in sexual activity for money. | ||
| But yo! | ||
| They got real mad. | ||
| They got real mad. | ||
| And so now you've got like, there's like a million followers on Instagram, and she's attacking me, and Drea made this like, big long-winded post, I wonder if it's like- We watched it before the show. | ||
| Here we go, look at this. | ||
| All we could was laugh at the length of the post. | ||
| It's like, she says that... Don't even read it. | ||
| She says, I'm fake news, I'm holier than thou, I'm talking about things that don't matter to this country, I'm a shill, you know, and she's like, I hope you never end up in a place like me, you know, where you have no choice but to become a hooker or whatever. | ||
| No choice! | ||
| No choices! | ||
| And I'm just like... | ||
| Wait, so she's recognizing she's a hooker? | ||
| She didn't say hooker, I'm saying hooker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| She said, end up a place where you choose to do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And I'm just like, she says, Tim Fool, not only did I not know the great Tim Pool was an expert on feminism and hookers, yes, I didn't realize, like, I'm gonna go back to what I said, because I think this is an extremely important point. | ||
| I believe if you go back to the 70s, late 60s, and tell all these women, the end goal of women in the workplace will be to get them to all quit and all become sex workers. | ||
| They'd be like, what? | ||
| No! | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| But there's story after story of, I was a nurse, but I make more money doing OnlyFans. | ||
| I was a star on The Sopranos, I make more money doing OnlyFans. | ||
| And I'm like, I didn't expect feminism to switch to just sell your bodies online to men for money. | ||
| And we've talked about it. | ||
| This is the end of women in the workplace. | ||
| For a few years, until men start using AI to make fake women and do it better than women, which is already happening. | ||
| So that's where we're at now. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think. | ||
| Look, they wanted the right to work and this is what they did with it. | ||
| It's awful. | ||
| I hate it here. | ||
| It is straight up like this is 100% women doing what women want. | ||
| And then. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't want to do that. | |
| I'm not saying you individuals doing what individual women doing what individual women want. | ||
| And then they don't like the way that someone else characterizes it or sees it or works. | ||
| Well, and she's acting like this is her only option. | ||
| I know. | ||
| That's what bothers me. | ||
| She's like, I have no choices. | ||
| No choices. | ||
| I couldn't, you know, have gotten my real estate licensing a job. | ||
| I couldn't have, you know, worked a medium-term job, whatever. | ||
| Like, I couldn't have worked in fast food. | ||
| This was the only thing available to me. | ||
| That's just a lie! | ||
| That's not true! | ||
| The whole point is breaking through the facade that is held up, though. | ||
| This is Lizzo's beautiful, you remind me of Lizzo, and someone gets upset about that meme. | ||
| That's exactly what's going on here. | ||
| It's sex work is real work. | ||
| And this person's a sex worker, and then you call them the wrong name. | ||
| How dare you call me what I'm doing! | ||
| And then you're using the wrong... So then it's just about the fact that it is a term that is looked at as a derogatory term. | ||
| That's all it is. | ||
| Imagine if the Homeland Security Agency investigated OnlyFans the way they do P. Diddy. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| Because there was one woman on OnlyFans who, the day she turned 18, at midnight, had a whole bunch of posts appear, and everyone went, That means those posts were made when she was not 18, and that was the point. | ||
| So, I'll read some of this. | ||
| She says, here's another mean-spirited, judgment-holier-than-thou mouthpiece who didn't even bother to research his subject before firing off his disdain. | ||
| He sounds exactly like the full-blown lefties he lambasts. | ||
| Okay, here's what I think. | ||
| I polled Twitter. | ||
| Uh, I said, do you think it's fair to call women who sell sexually suggestive photos on OnlyFans hookers? | ||
| 84.3% said yes, with 34,865 votes. | ||
| I also asked a few other questions. | ||
| Uh, so, apparently when Drea announced her OnlyFans, she did it with a nude photo. | ||
| According to numerous news reports, she posts nude photos, and typically, I guess, it's like sexually suggestive, but fully clothed. | ||
| And that's, I'm like, I, I, I, look. | ||
| You're just, all we're arguing now is degrees of being a hooker, okay? | ||
| You're a hooker, and everyone's arguing, yeah, yeah, yeah, but if you only are selling the, like, if men are requesting photos and you send them to them, you're not engaging in the physical activity, so you are hooking, but is it enough to call, okay, now we're just arguing degrees. | ||
| What's the point of this? | ||
| I think the outrage here Among so many of these women's shows, similar to what Phil's saying, it's the hypocrisy. | ||
| It's where they say things like, Dylan Mulvaney is beautiful. | ||
| And you go, you're so beautiful, you look just like Dylan Mulvaney. | ||
| And then they cry. | ||
| And we've seen a bunch of posts where a guy was like, I made my aunt cry because she's like this liberal and I said she'll take a transplant. | ||
| She got really upset by it. | ||
| Like, they claim to be like, they're beautiful, but if you call them that, they get angry. | ||
| They claim to be like, I had to do this because, you know, and I'll go on podcasts and I'll tell everyone I'm doing it, and then I say something semi-tepid like, I didn't realize feminism was gonna result in women choosing to be hookers, and she loses her mind because they deep down hate what they do, they regret doing it, they're ashamed of it. | ||
| No, many of them are victims of abuse. | ||
| It's just terrible, and OnlyFans and people saying so-and-so has an OnlyFan account, the media just describes it as like a normal thing to do, which is another sign of the decline of our civilization. | ||
| Yeah, we should treat OnlyFans like it's weird. | ||
| Can I read this one thing real quick? | ||
| So this other woman, like I said, a real housewife, says, Tim Poole can F all the way off for calling my girl Drea, my queen Drea, a hooker. | ||
| Not that there's anything wrong with being a hooker! | ||
| But that's not what she is, and how dare you call her something in a defamatory way for having an OnlyFans account, you dickless mother effer. | ||
| I'm just sitting here being like, I never once said a mean thing about her. | ||
| Well, I was talking about this before the show started, this clip between Norm Macdonald talking to Jerry Seinfeld. | ||
| Talking about Kojak. | ||
| And, uh, McDonald's imitating Kojak saying his daughter, you know, the daughter who was killed was a prostitute. | ||
| And the mother said, well, you know, she was a good girl. | ||
| And he imitates Kojak. | ||
| She was a hooker! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She was a hooker. | ||
| But with a heart of gold, you know? | ||
| I just, like, this whole argument is so strange to me personally because, like, maybe you should just be like, yeah, Tim, I'm a hooker and I'm proud of it. | ||
| Like, why can't you just embrace what you're doing if it's fine? | ||
| But obviously you don't think it is. | ||
| And also maybe it's not okay because this is a terrible way to treat yourself and to treat the women around you, right? | ||
| It's digital sex trafficking. | ||
| It's digital sex trafficking and you're You are going on OnlyFans and making a profile. | ||
| Like, this is weird. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| And again, what bothers me the most is she acted like she had no other options. | ||
| I want to push back on the digital sex trafficking because this is not the same thing as sex trafficking. | ||
| Because that's a crime. | ||
| Like, sex trafficking is a crime that people should go to jail for. | ||
| What she's doing is not a crime. | ||
| People can condemn it. | ||
| You can dislike it, you can condemn it, that's fine. | ||
| You don't have to like it, but it's not a crime. | ||
| Well, read the federal obscenity statute, so you might think otherwise. | ||
| No, no, okay, listen. | ||
| First of all, I hate the government, so screw that goddamn obscenity thing, okay? | ||
| And second of all, like, sincerely, it's like, I'm not, like, I'm the kind of libertarian guy. | ||
| I think it's okay if people want to go ahead and do this kind of stuff. | ||
| But society should not lie to itself about what it does and does not approve of. | ||
| And the reaction that people are giving is why, is because society is lying to itself. | ||
| If you actually are okay with sex workers, which personally I am, like, I don't have a problem with it. | ||
| But if you are okay with it, then it's okay. | ||
| But if you aren't okay with it, It's okay to say, no, I don't think this is okay. | ||
| But the fact that people are lying about it is why there's this cognitive dissonance and the reaction that people are having. | ||
| So if I tweeted, women quitting their jobs to begin sex work is an arc I didn't expect feminism to take, you think they would not have gotten mad? | ||
| I do think that there would have been less of a reaction. | ||
| I do think some people would have been upset, but I do honestly think that had you used the term sex worker, I think that there would have been less reaction. | ||
| They should reclaim the term hooker! | ||
| It is! | ||
| I'm not debating that at all. | ||
| I'm just saying that the way that you articulate stuff does matter and they're getting upset because they're perceiving it as an attack because The term hooker has for as long as we have, at least as long as I've been alive, been associated with a negative connotation. | ||
| Well, I guess my pushback, Tim, is that you shouldn't be surprised that the feminists, or at least the radical extremist leftists who call themselves feminists, Because they've been embracing this concept of sex work for years. | ||
| We're not allowed to use the word prostitute. | ||
| Look, sex work with the Biden administration and human trafficking, they don't talk about prostitution anymore. | ||
| They talk about it in a neutral term, in a neutral way that suggests that in some circumstances they endorse the abuse of every human being involved in that process of prostitution. | ||
| So I think I figured it out. | ||
| Phil, what if I said that she was the director of sexual gratification relief at her independent company? | ||
| Do you think she would be upset if I said that? | ||
| No. | ||
| Maybe I should give her a title. | ||
| Slide a boss bitch in there and you'd get a pat on the back. | ||
| Let's do what George Carlin described when he was, I don't know if you've ever seen that bit about political correctness, where he says, we used to call it shell shock. | ||
| Now we call it post-traumatic stress disorder. | ||
| We have to make it longer and more verbose. | ||
| And I think, I don't know if he mentions invalid and retard. | ||
| The things that people used to say that were considered normal descriptive terms became offensive for no reason. | ||
| That's where we are now. | ||
| Well, I am not letting this like leftist sex positive, you know, movement take the word hooker from me. | ||
| When I was a kid, we said hooker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're taking it back! | |
| It wasn't an insult. | ||
| It was just a thing. | ||
| And it was- it was like there were hookers there, and like there was a noun to describe a person. | ||
| You can't get mad at a word because it describes you. | ||
| That's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| Have a nice day. | ||
| Well, and I think you have to accept that being on OnlyFans is the equivalent of sex work. | ||
| We should stop pretending it's like, I'm a fun influencer, I just happen to be behind a paywall. | ||
| Like, no. | ||
| Most people- You're engaged in sex work, just accept it, and if you're engaged in sex work, you're probably a hooker. | ||
| And we're laughing about her response. | ||
| She's obviously a woman in crisis. | ||
| We should be praying for her. | ||
| For sure, but also- That she's in this situation and feels the need to respond, not necessarily you, but to respond to whatever crisis she's in by abusing herself through this sex trafficking film. | ||
| That's a very dignified and compassionate response, but I will say, it bothers me. | ||
| It does bother me that she is saying that this is like her only option. | ||
| I mean, same thing with the girls who are like, I make more money on OnlyFans than being a nurse. | ||
| But you're not, you don't have to make more money on OnlyFans. | ||
| You could be a nurse. | ||
| You could choose to just be a nurse. | ||
| You could do something else. | ||
| You're saying that this is the work I want to do because I find it either gratifying or easy or it pays big bucks and that's what I want to do. | ||
| But she makes this point where she's saying like, I hope you never end up like I am, and I was like, I was homeless several times. | ||
| Not once did I resort to being a male escort. | ||
| I also hope you never get OnlyFans, Tim. | ||
| The big deal to me, and I'm going to drive you even further crazy, it's like this normalization of vice. | ||
| So we've got OnlyFans, and we spent decades trying to keep gambling out of sports. | ||
| Now gambling has taken over sports. | ||
| In a way that is just extraordinary to me that I just can't believe given where we used to be in terms of keeping, you know, the Pete Rose scandal and everything. | ||
| Now, you know, gambling has a seat at the table in every major sports league in the country. | ||
| This player out in Los Angeles has gotten caught up in it. | ||
| It's this normalization of vice. | ||
| No good can come from it. | ||
| And the fact that there's widespread OnlyFans activity online, widespread gambling online, Is it a sign of dysfunction, both legally and morally? | ||
| Not even online, we've talked about this quite a bit. | ||
| Where we are right now in the tri-state, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, let's quick, okay, Maryland's got, near the East Coast, you've got Horseshoe Baltimore Casino, you've got Maryland Live Casino, you've got MGM Casino, you've got Hollywood Paraville Casino, you've got Rocky Gap And so I think that's five casinos in the state of Maryland. | ||
| Now let's talk about the surrounding areas, which are still within two or so hours driving from where we are. | ||
| You've got those five. | ||
| Then you've got the Delaware racetrack, which is only like half an hour outside of Baltimore. | ||
| Then you've got Harrisburg, Hollywood, York, Hollywood. | ||
| That's eight. | ||
| Then you've got Hollywood, Charlestown. | ||
| There are nine Physical casinos within a couple hours. | ||
| Then we can add, if you want to go to Pittsburgh, which is two and a half to three hours, now you've got Pittsburgh Live, and you've got, I believe you've got, I think you've got a Hollywood, I could be wrong, but let's just say ten. | ||
| Ten casinos. | ||
| Then, on your way, heading up north towards Pittsburgh, about two hours from here, you also have Lady Luck. | ||
| There are eleven or twelve casinos within two or so hours of driving from where we are right now. | ||
| Twelve. | ||
| And you're not even counting Atlantic City. | ||
| Oh, Atlantic City I think is three and a half hours or four hours driving. | ||
| So it's a bit out there, but that's a day trip. | ||
| You leave Saturday morning, you spend the night, you leave Sunday night, you're back home. | ||
| At Atlantic City. | ||
| Now, I can tolerate Atlantic City, in terms of the argument of vice. | ||
| We have Vegas, we have Atlantic City. | ||
| Yeah, you kept them local. | ||
| They were vacation spots. | ||
| You went to, for your vacation, to engage in your vices. | ||
| You drink, you party, you gamble. | ||
| But then you go back and say, okay, we're gonna get back to being productive. | ||
| Now it's just everywhere. | ||
| That's right, and it's all targeted, and interestingly, it's all targeted at young men. | ||
| Both vices we're talking about. | ||
| The whole, you know, the gambling online operations. | ||
| It's all the marketing seems to me directed at young men and only fans like, you know, my guess is a broad marketing campaign. | ||
| Someone super chatted that I should tweet the sex work version. | ||
| Well, I tweeted, I quoted the exact same story and I wrote, women deciding to engage in sexual activity for strangers is an arc I didn't expect feminism to lead to. | ||
| I hope that clears things up. | ||
| Although I do believe they'll still get very, very angry that I referred to them as engaging in sexual activity for strangers, which is a fact. | ||
| Everyone can cry some more and then we'll all move on with our lives. | ||
| Where are these people's fathers? | ||
| I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. | ||
| God help America. | ||
| How did we get to this point where we have become just vice? | ||
| Like, all of these casinos popping up really is shocking. | ||
| I think it's because we're a society that lacks community and lacks religion, right? | ||
| Like, there is no expectation that you would live to a high standard. | ||
| In fact, we're told always, live and let live, it's fine, don't be judgmental, everything's okay. | ||
| There's no collective morals that say, hey, there are things we're against, and we don't like them, and we don't want to encourage them. | ||
| I like liberty. | ||
| I think you should be able to do things that you want to do. | ||
| On the other hand, I think that we as a society would say, like, hey, if you're on OnlyFans, we're going to judge you for it. | ||
| We think that's not a good move. | ||
| Didn't the owner try to, like, shut down porn on OnlyFans? | ||
| Like, they started getting scared at how much porn was popping up, and they tried to shut it down, but then the investors revolted. | ||
| They were like, we're rich. | ||
| I know they've tried to. | ||
| Turn the world to the ground. | ||
| More degeneracy makes us money. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| Yeah, I think moral identity does profit and that's ultimately won out. | ||
| I mean, that's one of the reasons I think we're sort of this identity-less culture, which is that the dollar reigns everything and saying like, hey, like, again, I go back to this example of the nurses that are like, I make more money on OnlyFans. | ||
| Like, yes, but you pay with your dignity, homie. | ||
| Like, is this the price that you are willing to say it's better to make more money? | ||
| I'd rather be rich than to be able to look at myself in the eye. | ||
| Look, if I tweeted this and they responded with, yeah, that's kind of crazy, right? | ||
| Well, that'd be the end of it. | ||
| And it's a failure of Christian leadership in America. | ||
| I mean, because it used to be that the Christian moral view on these topics meant that laws reflected that. | ||
| Christianity doesn't have the balls to defend itself. | ||
| And Christians in this country have been attacked and belittled by the culture, made fun of for even thinking about these issues in terms of morality. | ||
| And they don't even engage anymore. | ||
| I'm in the movement, I know a lot of Christian evangelicals, they've been always very concerned about the gambling, but the money just overwhelmed and overwashed them, and too many Christians are embarrassed to say, this is wrong, should be illegal, For all sorts of reasons, including moral reasons. | ||
| And that is a valid basis for law. | ||
| The left can do all sorts of laws based on their morality. | ||
| Conservatives aren't allowed to. | ||
| The idea that society must celebrate things like sex work or vice, right? | ||
| So celebrating drinking, celebrating doing drugs, celebrating gambling, celebrating All that kind of stuff is a terrible, terrible idea. | ||
| There is nothing wrong with having a society that says, or it should be desirable to have a society that says families are good, right? | ||
| Families with a mother and a father and kids, that's good because that's the foundation of a society. | ||
| So the resources should be poured into making those things more attractive. | ||
| If the government is going to cheerlead for anyone, it should not be cheerleading for the LGBT lobby just because that group of people are not making more people. | ||
| They're not making more of the society. | ||
| So if the government is going to have an opinion, it should be The traditional family opinion, right? | ||
| It shouldn't be the fringe edge of society we need to center and make the... To all my libertarian friends, I'm sorry, the government can't be neutral in areas of morality. | ||
| It doesn't work. | ||
| I'm saying I'm in agreement with you. | ||
| I don't think that we should be tossing people in jail for using drugs and ruining lives because it tends to ruin lives way more than it does to... The debate is about the sanction and what's But I think we should have a strong enough social fabric that says, like, there are things we don't accept. | ||
| Like, the idea that, like, a man would abandon his family, right? | ||
| Like, I think that would be bad. | ||
| I agree, but it shouldn't, just so long as it doesn't turn into throwing people in jail, because that only adds more problems. | ||
| Right, but if we don't have- Maybe it means throwing people in jail. | ||
| Again, you're talking about an existing crime, Tom! | ||
| I'm not saying that we should not enforce existing laws and none of what I'm talking about is sex trafficking! | ||
| Stop it! | ||
| Like I said, you're judicial watch! | ||
| But I think the thing is, if you don't want a government punishment, if you don't want it to be like, if you abandon your family, you could go to jail or whatever, which there were laws in states like that, right? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| If you don't want that, then you have to have some kind of reinforcement somewhere, and it has to be social, which means you have to have a strong cultural idea of what we think is acceptable. | ||
| Culture is above law and politics 100% always and always will be. | ||
| The reason why Christians have lost so much ground is because they gave culture to the left. | ||
| The left then made it uncool and unacceptable to be Christian. | ||
| I guess my point is for the left, Politics rules everything. | ||
| Power politics rules everything. | ||
| And they put politics into the cultural spaces to change what was allowed, because they know that you can pass a law saying you can't eat cheeseburgers on Sunday, and then they make a bunch of movies of people eating cheeseburgers on Sunday, and then everyone's like, I eat cheeseburgers on Sunday, and then all of a sudden the moral values of whatever it may be don't matter because no cop is willing to enforce the law anymore. | ||
| We have tons of laws in the books today that are unenforceable. | ||
| Like, the famous blue laws, the joke one we like to reference is, women can't go skydiving on Sunday in Florida, which I think is not a real law or whatever. | ||
| It's a joke, but I think it might have been a real law at some point. | ||
| What cop is going to land, is going to stand near the landing point for skydivers, wait for the woman to land, and then go, ma'am, you're under arrest. | ||
| It's never going to happen. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It's culturally unacceptable. | ||
| The judge would say you're insane. | ||
| There are still areas of Chicago that are under prohibition. | ||
| And people don't even know this because everybody drinks and nothing is happening. | ||
| Because no cop is going to walk into a bar and be like, prohibition! | ||
| Yes, this neighborhood is under... They just don't even... That doesn't even happen. | ||
| Yeah, and although we should also recognize, to Phil's point, the widespread availability of alcohol, It destroys parts of our society and we just willingly accept it as if there's nothing we can do about it. | ||
| It's just like the rain. | ||
| It's never the case. | ||
| It should never be the case. | ||
| I think this trope of the stodgy dad who doesn't want to dance and the kids who want to go dance is part of this leftist indoctrination. | ||
| I mean there has to be a Kevin Bacon footloose. | ||
| Well, the left says, the movie makes the parents out to be bad for saying no dancing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But the moral of the story is, rigid social order, bad. | ||
| Go have fun and do whatever you want, but that's just one degree. | ||
| It results in, we had a great super chat where someone said, you know you're an idiocracy when you drive down a highway and half the billboards are weed, gambling, and lawyers. | ||
| Well, you know, one thing I've noted on the metro in DC, and I do take public transportation, Certainly, recently, is the amount of pot in the air. | ||
| Everyone's smoking pot on the trains. | ||
| And it occurred to me that if they were smoking cigarettes, we'd probably have federal troops on the train. | ||
| But you light up fire on a train for pot, we're afraid to enforce the law. | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| Oh, I've seen a guy get thrown to the ground for eating a hot dog on a bus. | ||
| And the people started getting mad. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| But when it comes to weed, everyone's attitude is, weed's not so bad. | ||
| We shouldn't put people in jail for it. | ||
| No, no, no, smoking, smoking, dude. | ||
| I don't care what you're doing. | ||
| Don't smoke or eat on the train or the bus. | ||
| Those are the rules. | ||
| In D.C., 8th Street, which was the D.C. | ||
| government spent millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars trying to rehabilitate since it was burned down during the riots, you know, after Martin Luther King and such. | ||
| uh now is is destitute and uh it's famous for having i think about 20 or so uh marijuana dispensaries on the strip and they wonder why it's attracted the wrong crowd see that's the challenge with marijuana legalization because i don't believe it should be illegal but decriminalization leads to a massive industry of people engaging in bad behavior You know, I kind of run hot and cold on it. | ||
| I just don't see how legalizing it works. | ||
| It just can't work. | ||
| And it will never work. | ||
| What do you mean by working? | ||
| In the sense of not producing societal effects that require its prohibition. | ||
| That ultimately requires prohibition. | ||
| I mean, A, the health effects of marijuana are much more significant than have previously been acknowledged. | ||
| The type of marijuana now widely available is still much more powerful. | ||
| And plus, the black market has actually benefited from the legalization of marijuana because other drugs that aren't legalized have increased in value. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And they're still involved in the marijuana market anyway. | ||
| Every day another grain of sand is added to the heap of moral degeneracy in this country. | ||
| And all the libertarians are saying things like, why shouldn't we be allowed to gamble? | ||
| Why shouldn't we be allowed to smoke pot? | ||
| There is no happy medium. | ||
| There is no point of total freedom. | ||
| We've found the balancing point between freedom, security, and morality. | ||
| It doesn't exist. | ||
| Would you want to live on this strip in Las Vegas? | ||
| Have you ever been in a strip on Las Vegas? | ||
| It is one of the grossest displays of human behavior and vice you'll ever see. | ||
| I don't know if I agree with that. | ||
| Like, what are you referring to? | ||
| The pushing of drugs? | ||
| That's true. The sex work. The Monty, the uh, it's gross. | ||
| It's gross. Yeah. Fair point. No, no one wants to live in the middle of Las Vegas. They may | ||
| want to work around Las Vegas. | ||
| Who wants to live in a, who wants to live in a gambling house? The, I, the thing that, that | ||
| kind of surprises me or, or that I can't wrap my head around Vegas is the fact that it's, | ||
| they try to make it a more of a family experience while still having, I mean, | ||
| it's not as seedy as it was in the seventies, sure. Uh, or, or early eighties, but still it's | ||
| the attraction to Las Vegas is gambling, partying, drinking, and, and I suppose shows, but really | ||
| like... | ||
| You shouldn't be bringing your kids to Las Vegas, you know? | ||
| I mean, you want to bring your kids to Disney, that's one thing. | ||
| Maybe not now. | ||
| I think it's just that Las Vegas doesn't want to miss out on the families that are driving through, you know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's corporations. | |
| It's big corporations. | ||
| Those are still potential customers and clients, so we have to have some place for them in every city, even if the city is generally marketing all of its entertainments towards adults over 21, let's say. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, the attraction in Vegas is still largely for adults. | ||
| It's not like there's things that are designed specifically for children, but they do try to make it at least family enough so that way parents that are questionable parents will bring their kids to Vegas while they party, I guess. | ||
| Well, there's the pool area and there's areas for kids. | ||
| Atlantic City actually turned, someone turned one of the casinos into an arcade. | ||
| So now the family can bring the kids to Atlantic City and... Which I still think is probably not good. | ||
| You shouldn't be bringing your kids to Vegas. | ||
| Bring your kids somewhere else. | ||
| And again, I have no problem with people that go to Vegas and party. | ||
| I'm not necessarily opposed to adult gambling. | ||
| I'm not saying that, but it's... | ||
| I agree. | ||
| We have 12 casinos to choose from. | ||
| If we leave Saturday in the morning, we're like, oh, look at one of the 12 casinos. | ||
| That's bad. | ||
| Especially for impoverished areas. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| MGM National Harbor, the highest grossing casino outside of Vegas. | ||
| Uh, beating even Atlantic City is insane! | ||
| 900 million dollars just south of DC. | ||
| DC for sure for that one, but you are also talking about 10 others that are in other areas that I would just say, like, it is not great for impoverished areas to have casinos, right? | ||
| But the only impoverished area is probably Charlestown. | ||
| Churches can still run. | ||
| Where there is a casino. | ||
| And that's the one out of twelve. | ||
| So, uh, you could argue Baltimore, I guess. | ||
| That's in downtown. | ||
| Well, I know there's a ton in Wheeling. | ||
| Wheeling's impoverished in West Virginia. | ||
| I mean, it's not... Well, West Virginia is impoverished. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And West Virginia has five casinos. | ||
| Virginians are parts of Ohio. | ||
| No, they may have four now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm just saying, like, it's... Well, the government's involved in gambling operations. | |
| There are lots of reasons why this is bad. | ||
| I'll tell you about West Virginia. | ||
| The problem with West Virginia is the hot spots. | ||
| Hotspots. | ||
| I don't know if everyone's... What do you mean by that? | ||
| So it's a common thing in West Virginia. | ||
| They are basically mini casinos. | ||
| You'll go to a building that's maybe like 400 square feet. | ||
| Typically you'll find a woman behind the counter selling beer. | ||
| And it's just like a refrigerator with a stack of Coronas. | ||
| And then there's 10 slot machines. | ||
| And people go in there and they dump their paychecks and leave. | ||
| Not a good thing for the state. | ||
| I suppose the state of West Virginia is happy because it generates tax revenue for them, but having hot spots all over the state? | ||
| It is not a good thing. | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| Do you say, you're not allowed? | ||
| Look, morally, I think you can do whatever you want with your money. | ||
| It's your money. | ||
| If I wanna make a wager with Phil about, you know, a coin flip, that's our money to choose how we spend it and what we spend it on. | ||
| It's insane to me that the government would be like, no, you're not allowed to spend your money on a game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree. | |
| Churches should still be able to run bingos. | ||
| But then you end up with, in any given area, there's like, within, I mean, we talk about casinos. | ||
| You go to West Virginia and there's gonna be like 12 hotspots, they call them, just surrounding you in every possible direction. | ||
| And these are miniature casinos. | ||
| You go in, some of them are nice, I gotta be honest. | ||
| There's one we went to, it was really, really nice. | ||
| They had like a really nice logo, and it was like an Ace of Spades, | ||
| it was called like Ace of Kates or something like that. | ||
| And you go in, it's a cafe, and then there's a row, a nice carpeted area | ||
| with a row of slot machines. | ||
| And I'm like, the cafe part's nice. | ||
| You know where they get away with this stuff is because they say, what's the difference | ||
| between an instant scratcher and a pull on a slot machine? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| So how can you ban one not the other? | ||
| The issue is the speed at which you can crank a slot machine by slamming the button over and over again and people will just burn through money like crazy. | ||
| I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to do it, I'm just saying our society is in moral decay because people want to do it. | ||
| Recognize the addictive nature and dangerous nature of it and It's gotta be controlled and strictly regulated. | ||
| Get the government out of it, we'll have less of it, that's for sure. | ||
| I agree about that, but the situation really is we need society to stop you know, glamorizing things that are vices and we need | ||
| society to start valorizing what you would consider wholesome behavior, valorize people that start | ||
| families, you want to uplift, you know, people that have three, four kids and that should be | ||
| something that the government, if it's going, again, if it's going to have a position, it should be a pro-life | ||
| position. | ||
| It should not be a pro-unique family or individualist perspective. | ||
| It should be something that is pro-family and pro-community. | ||
| And if you do that, then you'll go a long way in cutting off the incentives for things like OnlyFans and the things like Gambling and other vices. | ||
| You need shame. | ||
| You do, you do. | ||
| But shame is not the government. | ||
| That's social. | ||
| The society that says these things are good, these things are bad. | ||
| Which is exactly what I'm talking about. | ||
| In reference to the OnlyFans things, a lot of people are responding saying, shame the women on OnlyFans. | ||
| And I'm like, I did not even do that. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I didn't even have that line. | ||
| I'm just pointing it out. | ||
| But I do think a society needs to have a healthy amount of shame To shame people who do things that are bad, but they should be allowed to do if they really want to, there should just be a rec- like a rec- recognizing you are doing something that we disagree- like we think is bad. | ||
| You can do it though. | ||
| For them too! | ||
| I mean, you're not ha- I don't bel- you know, shame versus not telling this actress what she's doing is not a good thing. | ||
| That has to be something we have to deal with now, right? | ||
| I didn't even say there was anything wrong with it! | ||
| Well, yeah, but when I said she was doing it! | ||
| Well, you suggested strongly by using a negative word. | ||
| I didn't think Hooker was negative! | ||
| But it kind of is though. | ||
| But if you would recognize hooker is a kind of a word that I don't I if I called someone a hooker. | ||
| But sex workers are the same category and they claim they like it. | ||
| So I'm just like, I don't know, what's the difference? | ||
| Women refer to each other as, I'm going to curse on you, but like women refer to each other as bitches all the time in like a friendly way. | ||
| Like, why don't they just start calling each other hookies in a friendly way? | ||
| What's the difference between sex worker and hooker? | ||
| Yo, listen, when it comes to about... One has a moral negativity around it. | ||
| No, you're not going to tell me... That's not, because if you listen... Go listen to Sexy Red's newest single. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| I would never. | ||
| All she does, all they do is talk about being... They're literally talking about selling their bodies. | ||
| They're sex workers. | ||
| And Sexy Red is a hot new rapper. | ||

Alright. | |
| Shane Wilder says, Tim, I want to commend you on your eloquently worded discourse this morning on X about digital prostitutes. | ||
| I've been saying this for a while. | ||
| I agree. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I did a long segment on it talking about how like... Is prostitutes negative or positive? | |
| What word is that? | ||
| Prostitute is neutral. | ||
| So the issue is, historically, morally, being a prostitute, being a hooker, is frowned upon. | ||
| So, the reason why someone would say the words have a negative connotation is because the act itself is viewed negatively. | ||
| They say sex worker because they're trying to isolate what they're doing, which is prostitution and hooking, from the historical words which people associate in a bad way. | ||
| It is post-modernist, word-definition garbage trying to shift someone's perspective based on changing the words, but it describes the exact same thing. | ||
| You aren't only fans who raise sex worker. | ||
| Sex workers are hookers. | ||
| That's just what they are. | ||
| The worker part actually is a connotation to the proletariat, so like they're members of the workers. | ||
| You could just tell. | ||
| Exactly. | ||

| I watched SG-1. | ||

| This Friday we're having a couple cops on. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| And we're gonna talk with active duty police officers. | ||

| And we were like, he should, you're correct, come on the show. | ||
| Ask him about Ashley Babbitt's shooting. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of issues that I think aren't necessarily about the police when we talk about police. | ||
| It's about human nature and what humans do when confronted with these circumstances. | ||
| And historically, what we see is, no matter who you are, there is a tendency, not every human does this, but when it comes to authoritarianism, the people in military law enforcement say, I will march in lockstep with the machine committing the atrocities because I don't want to be on the other side of that stick. | ||

You just couldn't. | |
| Ian Morrison says, Tim, Drea de Mateo was blacklisted for refusing the Vax. | ||
| She's pretty anti-woke and went to OnlyFans just to interact with fans. | ||
| I don't believe she does anything explicit and nudity. | ||
| She'd be a good guest. | ||
| Well, my friend, she probably would be a good guest, but you're incorrect. | ||
| According to her friend on Instagram, she launched it with a nude photo on Instagram. | ||
| And according to even the story we were reading, I can't show the photos they posted. | ||
| They're not, uh, one of the articles has explicit, has outright nudity, but she's like, got her legs crossed, and she's covering herself, and it says it's on her onlyfans, so I don't, whatever. | ||
| She's like, Tim didn't do his research. | ||
| I looked all this stuff up. | ||
| I just didn't know if it was fair to say, like, some people might not refer to that as hooking or whatever. | ||
| And, uh, some of the photos are just straight-up pictures of her boobs in a bikini. | ||
| And I'm like, you're just posting sexually suggestive content for money. | ||
| Like, that's literally what you're doing. | ||
| You announce it with a nude. | ||
| And one of the photos is her and another woman with their hands against the wall pushing their butts out in their underwear. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, like, dude, come on. | ||
| All we're doing is arguing the degrees at which you are engaged in sexual activity for money. | ||
| So, uh, I am sorry, Ian. | ||
| No, she does have those photos. | ||
| I can't show those photos on YouTube. | ||
| If we were to actually show those and be like, here's what she's doing, we would get deranked and demonetized for adult content, and possibly the show could be age-restricted to 18+. | ||
| That's what might happen. | ||
| And so, okay, I'll do whatever you want. | ||
| Well, we didn't show the photos. | ||
| Do you want to restrict it to 18+, given our prior conversation? | ||
| Talking about- I don't think there's any issue with talking about the news. | ||
| Oh, just ask it. | ||
| I mean, when I was a kid, I'd turn on Fox News and they'd talk about rapists and murderers and blood splattered all over the street. | ||
| So, the news is the news. | ||
| Showing untoward, you know, degenerate behaviors and stuff, I think, should be adult only. | ||
| But I don't think- This is probably an R-rated discussion sometimes, don't you think? | ||
| I think when it comes to an issue of, like, we are discussing the news, then we do have people email saying, please don't swear, sometimes my kids are around. | ||
| But that's for a parent to decide if they want their kids to hear about news and politics. | ||
| We're, like, you know, talking about what they're engaging in. | ||
| So it's a news show, there should be no age restriction, I understand. | ||
| But parental parents should be watching over it. | ||
| My issue with Twitter is not that we should... The only reason I agree with this and is signing this bill is because the companies aren't doing anything to enforce the law the way they legally are required to do already. | ||
| So, Twitter, X, should, any adult content, anyone who posts in any adult content, it should be blurred out, you can't see it. | ||
| The only way to see it is if you're verified. | ||
| That's the content that Section 230 specifically authorizes the removal of. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| Yeah, it is tough with the news though, because there is a fine line between where parents will decide and whether or not someone's posting or doing untoward things. | ||
| But I think the news is the hard limit, and news organizations typically have the discretion of like, there's certain things we won't say or won't show for the sake of, you know, public decency. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's go! | ||
| Let's grab another Super Chat. | ||
| William Kelly says, Diddle you this, diddle you that, who's afraid of the diddler's bat? | ||
| That's the set that comes to mind hearing the diddler. | ||
| Well, okay. | ||
| Jacob Hawley says, Did P. Diddy do it, Phil? | ||
| It depends on what the definition of did is. | ||
| Anyway, Phil for President or Congress, please, Phil, you can just yell, scream at them during every bill or meeting and vote no in everything, please. | ||
| No. | ||
| That means yes. | ||
| He wants to be in Congress. | ||
| You can see it in his eyes, but he's being humble. | ||
| What district would you run? | ||
| I would actively railroad my campaign. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no way I would ever, ever, ever. | |
| I would never serve in Congress. | ||
| Gee says, bro, Tulsi is going to be VP. | ||
| She basically confirmed it last Friday. | ||
| Well, I know that she's on the shortlist apparently, right? | ||
| For Trump's VP pick? | ||
| I think that would be great. | ||
| I don't know that she is the right choice. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Everyone's like, who should he pick? | ||
| I'm like, man, I really don't know. | ||
| But if he did pick Tulsi, I'd be very happy. | ||
| I think she's a good choice. | ||
| What do you think, Tom? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think she's pro-life. | ||
| She's not. | ||
| So I think it would be a bad choice. | ||
| But the point is to get voters that Trump can't already reach. | ||
| So if we're talking about a post-liberal, the Democrats have gone too far candidate who is appealing to the likes of Elon Musk and people who are not necessarily fully informed, I think Tulsi Gabbard casts a wide net on that regard. | ||
| I think Republicans tend to lose elections, I'm putting on my political analyst hat, because they don't get enough Republicans out voting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree. | |
| And conservatives voting. | ||
| So he needs to ensure that everyone who's a part of the coalition has a reason to come and vote for him, and not want to suppress that coalition in any way. | ||
| And I think having a pro-abortion candidate on his ticket would suppress the pro-life vote in a close election. | ||
| I mean, it's possible you're right. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think Biden is so... Who knows, right? | |
| But I would be cautious about, and that's the trick for Trump, is how is it he kind of talks about abortion in a way that makes the full coalition comfortable. | ||
| I do think it's frustrating for me how many Republicans refuse to articulate their moral positions out of fear that people don't agree with them. | ||
| And I'm just kind of like, if you think people don't agree with you, then stop trying to win power, I guess. | ||
| Like, the argument should be, I am right, and if only they heard the correct argument, they would agree with me. | ||
| But if you genuinely think you could not present your idea to someone and they would agree with you, then you just know you're wrong. | ||
| The issue of abortion, particularly, too many Republicans keep trying to dance this moderate ground instead of just coming out right being like, ban it all! | ||
| Across the country, ban it all! | ||
| And then arguing why they think it should be permanently banned in all circumstances. | ||
| Seamus Coghlan has no problem saying that. | ||
| He says, here's what I believe, here's why I believe it, it should be banned completely in this country. | ||
| You know, you raise an interesting point. | ||
| They might want to think about saying, I believe life begins at conception, and we should think of ways to protect that life. | ||
| And we're going to disagree, but we all agree that there's a life at issue here. | ||
| And I think that's where most people are, and they'll debate whether to have it at six weeks, four weeks, or ban it entirely. | ||
| But most Americans want restrictions on abortion. | ||
| I'm not trying to argue abortion right now, my point is... Politically, I think you're right about being forthright on your views, because people don't like people who aren't forthright in their views. | ||
| And when they don't present, my position is abortion X, then regular people never hear the argument. | ||
| How could someone actually agree with your argument if you don't give it to them? | ||
| Well, there is the fact that the people on the left and people that are pro-choice have spent decades, multiple decades, lying about what their position is. | ||
| They sold it as safe, legal, and rare, and it was never going to be birth control. | ||
| It was only for emergencies and et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| The, you know, essentially the conservatives or the moderates had agreed to, I guess, not regular conservative. | ||
| That's what the moderates had agreed to in the 90s. | ||
| It was safe, legal, and rare. | ||
| And that's what, that's what essentially convinced enough people to say, well, okay, maybe. | ||
| And then after that, it was all downhill. | ||
| It was just, oh, shout your abortion. | ||
| Let's have a party. | ||
| I'm going to, I'm going to have, I'm going to literally celebrate my fifth abortion. | ||
| You get people behaving like that. | ||
| And then, you know, you're just like, all right, we're your ghouls. | ||
| Death cult. | ||
| I mean, Vice President Harris, first vice president, first president or vice president to go and visit an abortion clinic. | ||
| And the clinic she went and visited kills unborn babies up until nearly the sixth month of pregnancy and helps women kill them afterwards somewhere else. | ||
| This is where the left Democrat Party is. | ||
| Abortion on demand through the entire nine months of pregnancy paid for with your tax dollars. | ||
| It's got to be restrictions. | ||
| We'll grab some more. | ||
| Stanford says it's pronounced Antigua. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| Not Antigua, it's Antiga. | ||
| Grandstanding and Hotdogging says, I was double charged by your website for several months. | ||
| I emailed the customer service team about it. | ||
| They refunded me within a day or two. | ||
| Great service. | ||
| I'm so happy with their work that I want to give the money back. | ||
| Buy them lunch on me, please. | ||
| Will do. | ||
| In fact, we do that frequently. | ||
| Last week, we did lunch like four days out of the week. | ||
| Basically, when, if my girlfriend is not around, I'm either dipping bacon into cheese sauce or ordering food. | ||
| We all know when Allison's gone because Tim will be like, okay, food's coming today! | ||
| Yeah, I was like, I ordered like this massive box of Chinese food. | ||
| And so everyone's like, ah, Allison must not be here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because Allison cooks real good food. | |
| Today we had, I had ground turkey with cheese and onions, Cajun spice and white rice, like very healthy. | ||
| Checking my macros. | ||
| But if she's not here, it's like, It's like Taco Bell's here, guys. | ||
| We're like, see ya, Allison! | ||
| Mexican pizza. | ||
| There was the one day where I was like, what did you have for dinner? | ||
| I was dipping bacon in cheese sauce. | ||
| And it's like, oh jeez. | ||
| It's like, yeah. | ||
| It's like girl dinner, but it's Tim dinner. | ||
| You got your protein, you got your dairy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But so we do by lunch. | ||
| And so especially every Friday. | ||
| Every Friday we do sushi for everybody here at the Cast Castle. | ||
| And we are a couple weeks away from the new studio. | ||
| Really excited. | ||
| But I have news! | ||
| We are postponing the April 6th event. | ||
| It is not open to the public. | ||
| It is our official launch party skate jam contest. | ||
| If you're a skateboarder, and you have the skills to pay the bills, or you know someone who does, and they would like their share of $35,000, the email is contest at boonieshq.com. | ||
| We're going to be inviting a small group of people who send us their skateboard demos, and show that they have the certain skills for the contest. | ||
| It is $10,000 first prize for the vert wall drop-in. | ||
| feet avert to a five-foot transition if you know that if you know that means | ||
| but um maybe many of you know people who are good at skateboarding who might | ||
| consider the challenge it's on our Instagram at boonies HQ we're moving it | ||
| to April 20th because we have there's a couple things we have to do we have to | ||
| I don't want to say too much for security reasons but the first the most | ||
| important thing is we're morons and we didn't realize there's a big event | ||
| called Tampa Pro on the same day so a bunch of our pro skater friends were | ||
| like that's impossible you'll never get anyone to come out like I was like oh | ||
| dude I can't believe we did that but we're all we also want to take the | ||
| opportunity to set up some more stuff and get some like emergency backups | ||
| stuff installed and stuff so I don't want to say too much so I'm saying | ||
| stuff a lot but yeah contest at boonies HQ if you have the skills to pay the | ||
| bills on a skateboard And, uh, we just don't want a bunch of pros coming. | ||
| We want, you know, everybody to get a chance. | ||
| But we can only invite, like, five people, so. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| Let's grab some more Super Jets! | ||
| Piers Lort-Phillips says DJT is good, but I would have gone with TDS to further rub the loonies' noses in it. | ||
| I think it's a really good idea, but I think the reason they're going with DJT is because they want non-supporters to actually buy it. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| Who will donate to Donald Trump? | ||
| A supporter. | ||
| A strong supporter. | ||
| Even people who want to vote for him don't donate. | ||
| What if there's regular people who want to get rich quick? | ||
| They might end up buying several thousand dollars worth of DJT stock, which will pump up the value because they think they're going to make money on it. | ||
| Trump doesn't need their support. | ||
| He needs their greed. | ||
| Bushido says, Tim, I'm a former law enforcement officer. | ||
| LEO aren't going to make a ruling on scene based on either party's statements. | ||
| Landlords need a writ of restitution from court. | ||
| You realize, good sir, that what you're saying is, if someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night with the intent of killing me, they need only put down the weapon, calmly wait for the police to arrive, and then say, I live here. | ||
| And the cops are gonna go, oh, I guess we can't remove the burglar. | ||
| Burglar lives here. | ||
| He said so. | ||
| That's what's happening with squatters. | ||
| Do you think we'll see a big push to change squatter laws in this country? | ||
| Because I do feel like- Well, Florida's doing it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Florida is, and I feel like that could be a lead for other countries. | ||
| But it's a story I see in the news a lot more frequently, but I don't feel like I see the same legislative action. | ||
| Well, certainly not in the progressive-controlled jurisdictions. | ||
| You know, rent control, they're going to- it'll be the end of rent control once they get rid of squatters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I mean, what is rent control other than legalized squatting? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I knew somebody who lived in Santa Monica and their rent was like 500 bucks for this like two bedroom because they, they like had, it was just, I forgot how they do it, but they transfer the lease over somehow. | ||
| Some woman had it since- Or they never say who actually left and always just keep paying the same rent. | ||
| I don't know how it works in California, but someone was like, I think it was like a woman who lived there for 30 years. | ||
| And so she would rent out one of the rooms and it was a couple hundred bucks and the whole place was only like $500. | ||
| Same thing in New York. | ||
| Yeah, that's crazy. | ||
| And then what do you do who wants to own that building? | ||
| We were looking at buying a building in Charlestown and Then the person who owned like we're like, okay, we want to buy this We're gonna open a business here And then the owner was like we've given a three-year lease to the tenant upstairs and I said see you later Have a nice day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not buying your building like that's that's not you don't want to be a landlord. | |
| I Oh, I don't want to be a landlord, but I have no problem if it was like, we're going to get like, we'll, we'll talk with the guy who lives here and ask him how long he needs, but we're buying the building. | ||
| And I need to leave. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like a year or something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And like, and I was like, and we'll help him move. | ||
| And like, we don't want to throw someone out if they've been here for a while, but they're like, they're getting a three year lease. | ||
| I'm like, I'm not buying your building. | ||
| I'm like, I can't invest in this and build a business in it with some stranger living there for three years. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's like, we can't do it. | ||
| And that's fine. | ||
| I'm like, if that's your terms, like by all means, your building, you do whatever you want with it. | ||
| I got no beef. | ||
| But I'm sure they would have preferred to sell it. | ||
| Maybe they sold it. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Venus Sophia says I bought 10 shares of DWAC in the first hour and day of trading. | ||
| Looking forward to the merger. | ||
| Planned on holding on to my shares for a very long time. | ||
| I mean, these DJT shares are basically the Trump trading cards everybody wants. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's like your share of Donald Trump himself. | ||
| That's all truth social is. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's like, why be on it? | ||
| Well, that's Trump. | ||
| If you want to follow Trump, that's the platform. | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| Rita Ho says, My great-granddad owned land and was beaten to death by Red Guards in China. | ||
| My granddad escaped, but he lost everyone. | ||
| The book author is a supporter of the Communist Party and Uyghur genocide. | ||
| He still lives in China. | ||
| I believe the book, Three-Body Problem, doesn't even mention the Cultural Revolution. | ||
| I looked up the book, I could be wrong, and I think in the book they don't mention the culture revolution. | ||
| It takes place in like 1979 or something, where they discover aliens or something like that. | ||
| The Netflix show decides to put it ten years before, and then have it be the merciless communist murders that took place. | ||
| Yeah, I'm trying to think where, as like the Chinese communist, you know, struggle sessions, cultural revolution, it was the last emperor had the, if you remember that, they had the emperor go through in a sympathetic way, of course, to the communists. | ||
| They forced the emperor to come to terms with his pro-Japanese activities. | ||
| What have we here? | ||
| The Dude Abides says Tim is a fellow Illinoisian. | ||
| The word is justified. | ||
| Hookers be trippin'. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| It was like hooker meant hookin'. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Those are the words. | ||
| You know, it is funny that there's still regional terms. | ||
| We mostly sound the same, like dialects are disappearing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But there are still words like bubbler, curb, gym shoes. | ||
| We say gym shoes in Chicago. | ||
| I guess that's not a thing in a lot of places. | ||
| They say sneakers or something like that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Gym shoes. | ||
| We said sneakers in New England growing up, or at least I did. | ||
| You know what a bubbler is? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| It's like a water fountain, but I said water fountain in New England. | ||
| I don't know about you. | ||
| Yeah, water fountain. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You have that? | ||
| You call them bubblers? | ||
| No, they're fountains in New England. | ||
| Bubblers is Midwest, I think. | ||
| No, bubblers is like Cape Cod or something. | ||
| Oh, is it? | ||
| I didn't know that. | ||
| Yeah, let's double check. | ||
| Bubbler. | ||
| I can't really recall. | ||
| I called it a fountain when I was growing up. | ||
| Pretty sure. | ||
| Uh, let's see. | ||
| A bubbler is a drinking fountain in which the water is forced in a stream from a small vertical nozzle. | ||
| Really? | ||
| What is bubbler slang? | ||
| I heard it was, uh, Boston Providence area. | ||
| That's what it says. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I knew some people from Cape Cod and they said bubbler. | ||
| And, uh, then there's pop. | ||
| Do you guys say pop? | ||
| Pop is like Ohio, definitely. | ||
| Midwest. | ||
| Yeah, so does New England, but then I think the South, maybe it's Texas, there are certain regions where everything is a Coke. | ||
| Yeah, South Carolina, everything's a Coke. | ||
| That was when I was growing up. | ||
| My mom's from South Carolina, and when we go down there for the summer or to visit family and stuff, everything was a Coke. | ||
| You would get an orange Coke. | ||
| Do we get a Sprite Coke? | ||
| Like what kind of Coke do you want? | ||
| It was a cherry Coke, which is a thing, but you could get an orange Coke and you'd come back with like a Fanta. | ||
| That happened to me when I went to LA for a skateboarding trip, and it was me and this other dude from Chicago and these two guys from I think somewhere south, I don't know where. | ||
| And so the one guy walks into the, there's like a team manager and he's like, he's like, Hey, can I get a Coke? | ||
| And he's like, I don't got any Coke. | ||
| And he's like, Oh yeah, you do. | ||
| And he's like, I don't got any Coke, dude. | ||
| And then I walked in and I was like, yo, can I get a pop? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's like, What are you guys talking about? | |
| And then I was like, I understand we say pop, we say soda. | ||
| I was like, a soda. | ||
| And he's like, you want a soda? | ||
| Yeah, you can have whatever soda you want. | ||
| And then the other guy was like, yeah, that's what I was asking. | ||
| And he's like, you called it a Coke. | ||
| And he's like, oh, we call it all Coke. | ||
| And I was like, wow, this is trippy. | ||
| Bring people from different parts of the country together and they can't speak English anymore. | ||
| That's a good, it should be, go regionalism. | ||
| I think that's good for culture. | ||
| I think it's great. | ||
| Legama says, Tim, please double down and call her a whore, like you are from New Jersey. | ||
| Whore? | ||
| No, I always liked Danny DeVito. | ||
| Whore. | ||
| H-O-O-R. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A whore. | |
| I was not trying to insult her. | ||
| I think you were insulting feminism, not her. | ||
| I wasn't insulting anybody. | ||
| I was just like, and you know, someone said, sex-positive feminism, Tim, you didn't realize | ||
| I'm like, no, no, I'm saying, like, I didn't expect that, like, growing up as a kid, when they talked about women having the right to work and all that stuff, that the end result was going to be, when I was an adult, they were going to be begging to be, to be hookers. | ||
| Like, they desperately, you made the, you made the point perfectly, Anna Claire. | ||
| They're like, I make more money doing OnlyFans than I did as a nurse. | ||
| And it's like, yes, but you could just be a nurse. | ||
| You don't need to make that money. | ||
| They're choosing to be prostitutes. | ||
| How much more? | ||
| If it was like, oh, I make like 50 grand more. | ||
| It's like, you really need that 50 grand? | ||
| Well, like, apparently some of these stories are, like, they go from making three, like, four or five thousand a month to, you know, like, twenty thousand a month. | ||
| And I believe them. | ||
| Like, I'm sure there's a lot of money in it. | ||
| It's just a question of, like, is that worth the cons here? | ||
| Like, your dignity. | ||
| Could you look your, you know, children in the eye when you get older? | ||
| Like, there is a cost that you are paying. | ||
| It just may not be financial. | ||
| It's much more social. | ||
| I think a lot of women don't realize the social stigma that comes along with it. | ||
| You hear a lot of women that are getting to the point where they don't want to do adult entertainment anymore and they have a hard time finding anyone that wants to be in a family with them or whatever. | ||
| What about that politician in Virginia? | ||
| Didn't she win? | ||
| I am looking at this right now and I can't find any confirmation. | ||
| Really? | ||
| What is that? | ||
| There was someone on staff sent me saying that P. Diddy has been arrested, the diddler has been caught. | ||
| It's on Twitter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't see any confirmation. | ||
| I'm not seeing any confirmation. | ||
| The People magazine is reporting that he was maybe, possibly, but not confirmed on this plane. | ||
| But there is an old article from the New York Times, I think from like 2001, of him getting arrested in Miami, and I think that might be confusing. | ||
| Ah, okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Rumor circulating that Diddy was arrested, but don't know that's true. | ||
| No confirmation. | ||
