Bye now. | |
| YouTube broke. | ||
| Welcome to the show. | ||
| We got big news. | ||
| Anthony Blinken says NATO is going to induct Ukraine. | ||
| It's gonna happen. | ||
| So, you know, World War III. | ||
| And then, of course, with Israel and Iran. | ||
| Iran threatening retaliation. | ||
| Israel saying, hey, if they retaliate, we're going to war. | ||
| So, you know, there's probably World War III. | ||
| And now you got the Biden administration and they're turning on Israel because this World Central Kitchen fiasco has really soured Israel's support around the world. | ||
| Even Donald Trump is warning Israel about this stuff. | ||
| Jill Biden apparently told Joe Biden to stop Stop it now. | ||
| And so there's been some finger wagging, but you know what I think? | ||
| I think Israel doesn't care. | ||
| I think that Israel's attitude right now is, we're about to enter into a major war with Iran, and should that happen, it doesn't matter what you think about what we've done, because that's it. | ||
| You're locked in, baby. | ||
| It's gonna get crazy. | ||
| The Ukraine stuff's getting pretty crazy. | ||
| Seems like war is ramping up. | ||
| We had this story from a couple weeks ago, where apparently, There's one Eastern European official who said that NATO personnel are already operating in Ukraine. | ||
| They're just not fighting in Ukraine. | ||
| So military personnel are there on the ground. | ||
| Which Vladimir Putin said was a serious red line. | ||
| So I guess we'll talk about that. | ||
| And then we do have a bunch of other news. | ||
| Donald Trump is set to raise a record amount of money for any presidential campaign this weekend with this massive fundraiser that will dwarf Joe Biden's Lizzo fundraiser. | ||
| So we'll get into all that. | ||
| And just before we do, so this weird thing happened when we launched the YouTube stream. | ||
| It's never happened before. | ||
| Ever. | ||
| YouTube duplicated the stream and created a secondary blank stream for some reason. | ||
| No idea why or how. | ||
| It just did. | ||
| And then, we went live on some weird random channel. | ||
| On some weird... Totally... Totally weird. | ||
| Anyway, we're gonna talk about news. | ||
| Before we get started, head over to castbrew.com. | ||
| Buy coffee! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Because coffee is delicious. | ||
| And we have some pretty dang good coffee. | ||
| Appalachian Nights is everyone's favorite. | ||
| We can't stop selling the stuff. | ||
| But of course, Rise with Roberto Jr. | ||
| A Light Roast is also very delicious. | ||
| And Stand Your Grounds is now rising up in the ranks as more and more people... | ||
| Try Stand Your Grounds. | ||
| Stand Your Grounds is very similar to Appalachian Nights, but it's a medium roast, so I definitely recommend you try some of these other blends. | ||
| But the best part is when you support Casper Coffee, you're supporting us, it's our company, and it supports the growth of our physical Casper locations. | ||
| Where we will have the ideas to create networking spaces where people can physically come, hang out, and share ideas. | ||
| And the first one's in Martinsburg, West Virginia. | ||
| We already had one live event there. | ||
| It was really, really great. | ||
| We're gonna have more of those. | ||

| We'll get into that hopefully at the very end. | ||
| And everything we will talk about in foreign policy, I can give you an energy underpinning. | ||
| So I'm excited about the conversation. | ||
| Thanks for having me. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||

|
Let's go! | |
| We have this story from Yahoo News. | ||
| Anthony Blinken on Israel. | ||
| If we don't see changes, we need to see in Gaza, there'll be changes in our own policy. | ||
| Now it seems like a fairly weak statement. | ||
| But there's been a lot of pressure coming from the Biden administration after this scandal involving aid workers from World Central Kitchen, which appear to be they appear to be intentionally targeted. | ||
| There were three vehicles clearly marked. | ||
| And according to the aid workers, they had been in communication with Israel about their movements when they were killed in an airstrike, including an Australian citizen and an American citizen. | ||
| Jill Biden privately urged Joe Biden, stop it now. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Even Donald Trump, let's see if I can pull up this. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Trump says Israel has to get war in Gaza over fast and warns it is losing the PR war. | ||
| I mean, it's getting crazy. | ||
| Now you've got Trump. | ||
| He's been warning Israel. | ||
| Now Joe Biden's basically saying, I don't know about all this. | ||
| And the reason why is because Democrats are bleeding support. | ||
| They're bleeding young, young voters. | ||
| There was this initiative in New York, what was it called, Leave It Blank, I think, where they said in the primary not to vote for Joe Biden, Leave It Blank, because of their support for Israel. | ||
| That was true in Michigan, too. | ||
| You had Uncommitted and Minnesota and Washington State, all the Uncommitted campaign. | ||
| So now Jill Biden, who is probably more president than Joe Biden is, is in a private meeting telling Joe, stop it, stop it now. | ||
| I don't think there's any... I don't think... I think Israel royally screwed up with the World Central Kitchen thing. | ||
| You guys follow that story? | ||
| Oh yeah, absolutely. | ||
| I'm always amazed at the role Jill Biden has. | ||
| The Easter egg role, she gave most of the interviews to the press. | ||
| She was on one of the morning shows this morning. | ||
| I forget which one. | ||
| I can see their faces. | ||
| I don't remember if it was ABC or CBS. | ||
| Here she is... It's the same thing. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| Well, just assume it was the view. | ||
| But it's remarkable. | ||
| I mean, she wasn't elected to anything. | ||
| So there is this ongoing problem that Joe Biden, is he really the president? | ||
| Is he calling the shots? | ||
| Antony Blinken clearly is calling the shots on foreign policy. | ||
| And I guess when it comes to what's coming out of the White House, Joe Biden is now, because I don't know what Joe is doing. | ||
| No one knows what Joe is doing. | ||
| Joe doesn't know what Joe is doing. | ||
| Joe doesn't know what Joe is doing. | ||
| Now, more important than Joe Biden or Antony Blinken. | ||
| This is the most alarming. | ||
| Colbert's message to Netanyahu after World Central Kitchen deaths? | ||
| Consider ending the war. | ||
| Now, when Stephen Colbert says it, that's when it matters, because Colbert is more president than Joe or Jill. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Well, he's actually more the regime spokesperson, but I would imagine Colbert probably has more authority. | ||
| And it's a way of taking the temperature. | ||
| I mean, when I was listening to NPR and all these mainstream outlets report on this attack on these aid workers, they're sort of like, yes, it was known that these trucks were going to move through here, and it seems like there's no way out of this one. | ||
| This seems like it was completely intentional. | ||
| How do you spin this situation? | ||
| And even Israel came out. | ||
| Netanyahu said it was an unfortunate accident. | ||
| Yeah, they apologized for it. | ||
| He said they do great work. | ||
| It was an accident. | ||
| And it's like, how did you accidentally strike three vehicles in separate locations? | ||
| That you knew were going there? | ||
| Like, it doesn't really make sense. | ||
| But it is interesting. | ||
| When Colbert says, consider ending the war, I wonder what he is specifically asking for. | ||
| Like, what does ending the war look like right now? | ||
| That's a really good question. | ||
| And I think it's something that Americans are not really sure what that looks like. | ||
| And I don't think Democrats know what that looks like. | ||
| Does ending the war mean just no more campaigns in Gaza? | ||
| Just leave it alone? | ||
| Or does it mean opening up the border to workers again and giving passes again? | ||
| What does it look like? | ||
| But don't so many Democrat talking points, are they vague, empty slogans like fix the climate? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| What does that look like? | ||
| They don't know what the end of the Ukraine war looks like either. | ||
| They say, well, we're in it until the end, but they can't tell you what the end looks like. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I like the ceasefire now thing because it's like, okay, please elaborate. | ||
| And they typically say Israel should stop shooting. | ||
| And it's like, and then what about Hamas? | ||
| Should Hamas? | ||
| Stop shooting? | ||
| Should they release the hostages? | ||
| No, they should, they should. | ||
| These are questions. | ||
| And the issue is releasing the hostages isn't a part of the ceasefire. | ||
| So I think, you know, it was AOC who said, yes, we want Hamas to stop firing as well. | ||
| Because AOC's actually moved rightwards as she tried to appease the establishment. | ||
| But still within the ceasefire thing is not the release the hostages and surrender. | ||
| It had been early on. | ||
| It had been, you know, release the hostages, have a ceasefire. | ||
| And the ceasefire agreements had been involving hostage releases. | ||
| We don't talk about them anymore. | ||
| Are they even alive anymore? | ||
| I don't see an end to this, right? | ||
| Because the pro-Israel side says the war ends when Hamas surrenders. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And Hamas is like, we're never surrendering. | ||
| This is a religious calling. | ||
| And the Palestinian Authority, aren't they like sort of backdoor in it with Hamas at this point, too? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's so odd that Stephen Colbert would make such a vague statement because he is a political and foreign policy expert. | ||
| He is. | ||
| So the fact that he's weighed in, you know, I'm surprised that he would make this guess. | ||
| Well, that's why I ask, you know, I'm sure Stephen Colbert has a very specific plan. | ||
| When he says, you know, stop the war, he knows exactly what he's asking for. | ||
| And it's definitely not an empty slogan. | ||
| Colbert elaborated saying this is not an isolated incident. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Has anyone asked Nate Bargatze or Bill Burr what they think of the circumstances, right? | ||
| I mean, if just other comedians are allowed to chime in on foreign policy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, of course. | |
| I mean, I want to know what Joe Rogan thinks. | ||
| Well, we know what Michael Rapaport thinks. | ||
| I mean, he's been hanging out, you know, telling us that he's ready to, you know, voting for pig dick Donald Trump. | ||
| That's on the table. | ||
| He's in such a weird political space. | ||
| He is in a weird spot. | ||
| He's hilarious. | ||
| I think he's a hilarious guy. | ||
| Look, this is going to be difficult to throw out there, but I will. | ||
| War is hell. | ||
| There is always collateral deaths and damages. | ||
| We have to remember, Obama in 2008 bombed a wedding accidentally. | ||
| 50-some-odd civilians died in Afghanistan. | ||
| Just a couple years ago, President Biden accidentally, in the Afghanistan withdrawal, bombed something. | ||
| About 15 civilians died. | ||
| Obama accidentally killed a lot of people, including American citizens. | ||
| It's crazy what you can accomplish by accident. | ||
| There is collateral damage. | ||
| There is more outrage over this than there is of Biden's Afghan withdrawal, where civilians died unnecessarily. | ||
| People like to reference that MASH quote. | ||
| Which one? | ||
| War is not hell. | ||
| War is war. | ||
| In hell, everyone is evil. | ||
| In war, there are children. | ||
| Oh yeah, MASH was such a good show. | ||
| I think that was MASH, because someone mentioned it in the Super Chat before, and it's a great quote. | ||
| Great show. | ||
| War is terrifying. | ||
| And so this is the biggest challenge with all of it. | ||
| That's like Mother Courage, the Brecht. | ||
| If we're going to take a holistic view of this and take politics and morals out of the question, we'll talk about raw resources and ideological positions. | ||
| Israel loses when they blow up aid workers, when they kill numerous aid workers in three different vehicles, because you're going to lose public support. | ||
| The people will vote against the politicians who would provide the aid, and so Biden's like, we're losing too many voters and we've got an election coming up in November. | ||
| Okay, push the brakes down. | ||
| Jill Biden said, stop it, stop it now. | ||
| Yeah, she didn't say it because aid workers died. | ||
| She said it because she's like, look at our numbers! | ||
| They're going down! | ||
| She's like, we have more granddaughters who have to get married in the White House. | ||
| If you mess this up for all of us, I will be really mad. | ||
| How many grandchildren they have? | ||
| They have! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I see what you're doing! | |
| I mean, the real question is how many granddaughters they acknowledge. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That is the question. | ||
| Just depends on the day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's so sad for Hunter Biden's love child. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Little Navy? | ||
| Oh no, it's the best thing that could happen. | ||
| Navy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Navy. | |
| The best thing that could happen to Navy is that she's disassociated from that family. | ||
| Run, Navy, run! | ||
| Yeah, but it would never stay overnight where there's shared showers. | ||
| It could be like a cool Game of Thrones thing where Navy snow grows up and then inherits like the corrupt Biden fortune. | ||
| You know, it's like Navy actually was a Biden the whole time. | ||
| She's the only one who's not in jail. | ||
| And Hunter was like, no, you can't give her my last name. | ||
| And her mom had sued over this saying, you know, the Biden name carries influence and it could help her later in life, which as, you know, the other side of the aisle, we're like, really? | ||
| You want her to be a Biden? | ||
| But I see what she's saying. | ||
| And Hunter fought tooth and nail because he was pretending this child didn't exist, I guess. | ||
| I think that's so rude. | ||
| Isn't that horrible? | ||
| It is. | ||
| Rude. | ||
| But you raise a great point, though, of there is a PR battle. | ||
| It's what President Trump was saying. | ||
| There is a PR battle of the war. | ||
| And for those who remember, that was one of the problems the Bush administration ran into, was that the war in Iraq dragged and it dragged and it dragged. | ||
| And it got to the point, when is this war over? | ||
| When is victory declared? | ||
| And no one could define victory anymore. | ||
| And then it turned out they had lied to get us into it. | ||
| Remember the yellow cake and Colin Powell had to go to the UN and be like, we lied about that one. | ||
| And so there is a PR battle, and how much faster is social media now than it was 20 years ago when that launched? | ||
| Yeah, I don't remember social media from 20 years ago. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So there is a PR battle that Israel has to face. | ||
| They want a quick, agile, and a quick end, but Israel has to define what end looks like. | ||
| And if end is Hamas surrendering, well, that's not going to happen. | ||
| I think Israel knows what end looks like for them and they don't want to say it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because I think it's probably pretty ugly, which, you know, I mean, if you're fighting for your own survival, like, I don't blame you for having ugly solutions as to how you're going to maintain your survival no matter what. | ||
| But you were going to lose a PR war. | ||
| But the U.S. | ||
| isn't going to like what that looks like. | ||
| The Democrat, the left of the U.S. | ||
| is not going to. | ||
| There's a lot of people who are going to support Israel, no matter how ugly it gets. | ||
| Right, for sure. | ||
| Without a doubt. | ||
| But the left isn't, and that's what you were saying, Tim. | ||
| The far left isn't. | ||
| The far left isn't, and that's Joe Biden's base, and those are his door knockers, and that's his crowd of enthusiasm and sign waivers and balloon blower uppers, and if you lose those folks... And they are. | ||
| And they are. | ||
| Yeah, they're losing volunteers, they're losing voters, and for a variety of reasons. | ||
| James Carville has warned they're losing losing young men. Yeah, and I think the reason they lose | ||
| young men and I want to shout out all the leftists who love to just run the incel narrative | ||
| is because these young guys are struggling to to grow up. They want to move out of | ||
| their parents home. They want to get cars. They want to get jobs. They want to get | ||
| married. They can't because of this because of this environment created by leftist social | ||
| progressive policies as well as a crippled economy that favors older people and wealthy individuals. | ||
| Yeah, that's sort of an amazing thing the situation with young people not being able to to | ||
| grow up. | ||
| I've been thinking about that a lot because, you know, I'm like this Gen Z, Gen X person, not a Gen Z person, my goodness, that's my child. | ||
| We identify a lot. | ||
| But, you know, I was only able to buy a house last year. | ||
| And when I look at my brothers or like, you know, my littler sisters and stuff, it's like, What kind of world are they coming into? | ||
| How are they going to achieve? | ||
| And when I was a kid the whole thing was work hard, American dream, have a family, buy a house, be independent, be self-sustaining. | ||
| And how do you even get there now? | ||
| The only thing the government offers is more handouts and dependents. | ||
| I think the end result of this era is going to be a massive shift of Gen Z rightward. | ||
| So we're seeing that with young men already. | ||
| The polls show that young men are becoming substantially more conservative and women are becoming more liberal. | ||
| But guess what that means in 10 years? | ||
| Those women are going to flip on a dime. | ||
| I'll tell you why. | ||
| So there was this clip from the Whatever podcast that I talked about earlier where a woman, a young woman, she's like in her 20s, says something like, men don't approach women anymore. | ||
| And I'm like, right. | ||
| Do you guys remember what happened 10 years ago? | ||
| 10 hours of walking through New York as a woman. | ||
| Where in this video, there are instances where a guy says, hey, how you doing? | ||
| There's one instance where a guy's like, have a nice day. | ||
| and they and young so you got a 13 14 year old kid 10 years ago and he's told from that video 50 million views do not tell women how do you do do not say to them how's it going don't talk to them don't ask him for anything 10 years later they're like you're not allowed to do that you can't go up to women You can't ask a girl out. | ||
| You can't ask a girl out. | ||
| Now I got bad news and I really do hope, I say this every time that the left pulls these clips, I really really hope that they run all the segments in the world saying Tim Pool's an incel and whatever they want to say because the issue is 10 years from now when those young women are 35 they're going to be going to the guys who are more conservative and listening to Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson and they're going to be like I don't have much time left Just who do I have to be for you? | ||
| So the young guys right now are saying, I can't get in my parents' basement, I can't get a car, I can't get a house, I can't make money. | ||
| Now they're listening to people like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate, and they're in a, Peterson and Tate are in different spaces, but they have a similar thing about being responsible, like carrying heavy things. | ||
| Tate's a bit more aggressive and weird, Peterson's more academic, but young guys are listening. | ||
| Now you've got Gen Z males moving towards the right, And what's going to happen is when Gen Z hits 35, Gen Z guys are going to say, I have all the time in the world. | ||
| And Gen Z women are going to say, I've only got a few years left. | ||
| So that's going to put pressure on them to try and find guys that they can pair up with. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| If two to one, the guys are conservative, two to one women are liberal, the liberal women are going to struggle. | ||
| They're going to say, no, no, I don't want a conservative guy. | ||
| I want a liberal guy. | ||
| And the guy's going to go, I got 30 more years before I have to worry about having a kid, so you take all the time you need to figure it out. | ||
| No, the women are going to be forced to actually make compromises. | ||
| Well, but the other thing too is like, wasn't it like 30% of Gen Z adults identify as queer anyway? | ||
| It's a high number. | ||
| It's like, I think it, yeah, I think it's like 28%. | ||
| So perhaps they're not all really queer, probably for a lot of them it's political designation and kind of trendy for the most part, but you're also going to have a huge booming fertility industry, which we do have. | ||
| So IVF is going to continue to grow, except perhaps in Alabama, you know, people can go other places. | ||
| You're going to have surrogacies continue to grow. | ||
| I mean, Paris Hilton had their kids- Michigan just decriminalized paid surrogacy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It was the only state to have a ban. | ||
| Now they're like, just kidding, it's fine. | ||
| Yeah, New York legalized commercial surrogacy. | ||
| The commercial surrogacy industry globally is a big deal, you know, like doing the Handmaid's Tale thing to the women in the Global South. | ||
| And so you're going to have a lot of these... In Ukraine. | ||
| Ukraine is a place where there's tons of surrogacy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ukraine. | |
| Well, that's where you got cheap white eggs, which that's not my phrase. | ||
| That's from a Radiotopia in 2010 from NPR. | ||
| They did a whole episode on cheap white eggs because you had this gay Israeli couple bought eggs from Ukraine and then impregnated an Indian woman in Nepal in order to get their child because surrogacy was illegal for Indian women In India you couldn't do it, but surrogacy was illegal in Nepal for Nepalese women. | ||
| So anyway, Indian women went to Nepal to be surrogates, and they were basically in these like surrogacy brothels, you know? | ||
| And then what happened was there was a huge earthquake in Nepal, and so the Israeli dads went to get their kid, but they couldn't prove that it was their kid. | ||
| It was a whole thing, cheap white eggs. | ||
| Anyways, we're gonna have a whole bunch of manufactured orphan children as well being raised by strangers. | ||
| Yeah, I mean this is, so one of the things that comes up a little from time to time right now is embryo adoption. | ||
| So if you go through IVF and you have extra embryos, you know... Radiolab, not Radiotopia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I said the wrong thing. | ||
| You can decide what to do with them and this becomes another part of surrogacy, right? | ||
| You have someone who could buy theoretically eggs that someone else created and you could either carry them yourself, you could hire a surrogate. | ||
| The fertility industry is the Wild West right now. | ||
| And, you know, I think there are a lot of couples that need assistance having kids and I don't condemn IVF, you know, blanket, but I think that the more complicated it gets and the more we sort of mess with science, the more ethical questions we create and then we try not to answer. | ||
| I think we are starting to see phase one of the phenomena I described. | ||
| Where you have young guys becoming conservative, so young women who want to have kids and are running out of time are thinking, okay, I need to have a kid. | ||
| So what's happening now is you have these stories about women who go on Facebook, and there are these Facebook groups where they buy dudes' genetic material, if you know what I mean, so that they can be a single mother somewhere else. | ||
| Turkey baster, they sell them at Target. | ||
| They have fertility kits at Target that women can buy. | ||
| I think that's phase one. | ||
| I think phase two is gonna be, because these are millennial women, who are basically, you know, in their mid-thirties. | ||
| And I'll stress this, I am not disparaging these women in any way. | ||
| I am not questioning their life choices. | ||
| And I know the left is gonna be like, hey look, you run those clips all day and night. | ||
| I want as many young men as possible to see it. | ||
| Because this is a problem that's happening right now, and the more people that are aware of what's going on, maybe it'll wake people up and they might break loose from this problem. | ||
| But I think what happens for Gen Z and younger, Gen Z is going to see what happened to millennial women, and they're going to go, oh hell no. | ||
| There's already tons of millennial women writing articles being like, feminism lied to me. | ||
| Now what do you think, that's a 23-year-old woman and she's gonna be like, ooh. | ||
| Not all of them are gonna go that way because they are going more liberal, but then Gen Alpha will enter their 20s, and then Gen Alpha's gonna be like, I'm not falling for that trick. | ||
| I think that's really true, and one of the biggest issues is the question of when women wake up to the consequences of fertility and the fact that it's different from men's, right? | ||
| Men can have children for years and years and years and years, whereas women- You can be 70! | ||
| Right! | ||
| Like, what is it, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro? | ||
| Ben Franklin was having kids in his 80s. | ||
| My dad was having kids into his 60s, I think. | ||
| I mean, like, it's just something that happens, team. | ||
| But the thing is, women have different consequences than men. | ||
| But I can tell you, just anecdotally, among my millennial friends, they have looked at me and said, oh, well, 42 isn't that old to start trying to have a kid. | ||
| And it's like, team, yes, it is. | ||
| We all need to wake up 100%. | ||
| But just because Mindy Kaling said, you know, the best thing parents can do for their college-age daughters is to offer to freeze their eggs, women think it can just go on forever. | ||
| The other part is that IVF, all fertility treatment, is It's not a walk in the park. | ||
| No, it's a whole crazy messed up thing. | ||
| It's a whole crazy thing you're injecting. | ||
| You have to like jab yourself with hormones. | ||
| The thing that people should listen to, I'm trying to think of what it's called. | ||
| The York Times just did this long-form podcast on a fertility clinic in Yale. | ||
| Is that the one where the nurse stole the oxycontin or whatever? | ||
| It was fentanyl. | ||
| She was stealing fentanyl. | ||
| And so when you go through IVF, you know, they give you a bunch of drugs so that your eggs get really big and they can harvest them, but you have to have a retrieval. | ||
| Which is a painful experience. | ||
| Extremely painful. | ||
| It involves needles, lots of shoving, whatever. | ||
| So they give women fentanyl when they do it. | ||
| And the nurse was swapping it out and these women were going through this screaming in agony. | ||
| And the doctor was like, weird, sometimes fentanyl doesn't work. | ||
| And it turned out this nurse was stealing it. | ||
| And then these women had to pay tens of thousands of dollars to do this. | ||
| And also they're being told, well, you have to do this retrieval right now because the science, you know, it times up, you have to, otherwise your body releases the eggs and you've just flushed tens of thousands of dollars on the drain. | ||
| Like IVF is not in a walk in the park. | ||
| And I think telling women, don't worry, Science will help you have a kid later, science is so great, is actually putting them in harm's way when they don't necessarily have to be. | ||
| I think we should have a conversation, especially with the youngest generation of women, saying like, kids don't end your life, and if you have them while you're still building your career or doing whatever you want to do, it's not over. | ||
| But there are risks with delaying having children if that's a goal for you. | ||
| Yeah, the other thing about the young Gen Z's is that the majority of them are issuing college, and they're choosing trades instead. | ||
| So they're not starting adulthood in debt? | ||
| What a crazy idea! | ||
| My son was just today, we were chatting, maybe it was yesterday, and he was like, what are trades? | ||
| And I was like, you know, it's like plumbing, air conditioner repair, carpentry, and he's like, oh, that sounds pretty good. | ||
| Pays really well, and yeah, exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what I was telling him, I was like, it pays pretty well. | |
| Always demand. | ||
| I mean, look, if we get a pipe leak on a weekend, we're screwed. | ||
| So if there's somebody who knows how to do it and we find them, they're getting paid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I told my son, I was like, look up how to repaint a bathroom because that's your summer job. | ||
| But there was that great clip of James Carville when he was talking about, you know, men are leaving the Democrat Party and we can't understand why. | ||
| And he said, you know, we tell them not to drink beer and not to eat meat and they're being constantly nagged. | ||
| And all these folks on the right were like, I don't know what James was talking about, and I'm screaming at the TV like, this is pretty obvious, right? | ||
| Like, you're emasculating young men on the regular, so they're like, I don't want to be part of this party. | ||
| I don't want to be part of, like, the no cars, no guns, genderqueer obsessed, trans obsessed, like, you know what? | ||
| I think I'm done with being a Democrat right now. | ||
| We were visiting some family friends and they had kids and they said, | ||
| we did nothing to our young kids who are like, you know, like four or five. | ||
| And they were like, the boy just started smashing things and the girl started taking the things he | ||
| would smash and protecting them and running away. Like, they just did it. | ||
| One of my favorite social media posts that comes up every once in a while is this dad being like, no, we wanted our daughter to have all kinds of toys. | ||
| So we gave her Barbies. | ||
| We also gave her Tonka trucks. | ||
| And he's posting this picture of the Tonka trucks tucked into a doll's bed. | ||
| But studies show that from early ages, infants, like newborn infants, less than 24 hours old, Boys will look at mechanical objects, girls will start tracking faces. | ||
| Like, the interests of the brain, which are good and healthy, begin really early on. | ||
| You can't tell me a 24-year-old infant has been conditioned to think, oh, you're supposed to like this bit. | ||
| That's how strong the patriarchy is, Hannah Clayton. | ||
| When I was a kid, my mom was, um, I always wanted Barbie dolls. | ||
| I was like, really into Barbies. | ||
| And my mom always wanted me to like, have not Barbies. | ||
| So we'd go to FAO Schwartz in New York, which is where she lived. | ||
| And she'd be like, okay, you could get a Barbie and she'd roll her eyes, but you also have to get one of these other toys. | ||
| And she'd like, make me get Transformers, which are cool, right? | ||
| Transformers are cool. | ||
| So I'd be like, okay, but I'd still just end up having the Barbies go on a date with the Transformers. | ||
| All of my Barbies married a G.I. | ||
| Joe. | ||
| It's just the way it worked out. | ||
| Let's bring it back to the more horrible news stories. | ||
| So following that Israel story, we have this from CNN. | ||
| Iran vows revenge as it accuses Israel of deadly airstrike on Syria consulate and deepening Middle East crisis, to which we have this from OSINT Defender. | ||
| Israel has notified the U.S. | ||
| that if Iran makes the decision to target the territory of Israel, they will be forced to respond. | ||
| And of course, Netanyahu warns of enormous implications for U.S. | ||
| security if Israel isn't victorious. | ||
| It feels like, oh boy. | ||
| Whatever they do, whatever Jill Biden says or Stephen Colbert, Netanyahu's attitude is probably, I do not care. | ||
| Because the US has no choice. | ||
| The US has put itself in this position through supporting Israel in all of its actions. | ||
| Israel can do anything. | ||
| And if Iran strikes, the U.S. | ||
| is going to war on Israel's behalf. | ||
| I'm just so glad we have a foreign policy expert in the White House. | ||
| This was one of his resume points was, I've been doing foreign policy. | ||
| I know these people. | ||
| I know them by name. | ||
| I've sat in rooms with them. | ||
| No, the president, right? | ||
| He was the chair of the foreign policy. | ||
| Committee I'm a foreign affairs committee. I mean Joe Biden was the foreign policy genius and the world is crumbling | ||
| around us I mean we haven't even talked about the Western Hemisphere | ||
| how the Western Hemisphere is crumbling world is literally on fire and | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we have it's intentional. It's like just the way I like. | |
| Yeah, but maybe markable from the ashes of the old They shall build a new so the idea being | ||
| You know, we look at the illegal immigrants coming to United States. They're being given housing | ||
| I was watching Fox earlier, and the things they're given, it's insane. | ||
| I think it's Chicago gives them guaranteed full coverage health care. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And tuberculosis, though, to be fair. | ||
| Yeah, there's tuberculosis for sure. | ||
| But what they're doing is, it's the equity play. | ||
| Cut off the tall grass. | ||
| If someone's a wealthy American, strip them of a generational wealth. | ||
| If you're Gen Z, you don't get your inheritance. | ||
| If your parents died, squatters will take your house. | ||
| Then, when the criminal aliens show up, we'll give them benefits to put everyone in the same bracket so they can create a normalized working class base of poor people. | ||
| So they destroy everything, force everybody to the same level, and then start a new system on top of it. | ||
| First they destroyed the American working class, and then they're gonna replace them with this slave labor class. | ||
| Yeah, but the Americans are going to be in it. | ||
| Yeah, the Americans, though, don't have any skills. | ||
| Like, do you see what's going on now with the EVs? | ||
| So they're pushing all of the, they're continuing to push the Green New Deal and the EVs and stuff, but American factory workers are struggling. | ||
| Yeah, well, we don't make hardly any EVs. | ||
| We make them in China, we make them in Mexico. | ||
| We're just closing those jobs out completely. | ||
| And then even California, right, their $20 minimum wage, they're just going to get around it by hiring illegals and paying them under the books. | ||
| Well, that's what they do. | ||
| Off book, exactly. | ||
| And what happened to Energy just go to a place where they're like converting a factory I think the assumption that you will eat the bugs and you'll be happy is probably wrong. | ||
| I think you'll eat the bugs. | ||
| I don't think you'll be happy. | ||
| That's the obvious thing. | ||
| But I think the real plan in destroying the U.S. | ||
| that's okay, you can go ahead and cut me off. Thank you, Lippy. | ||
| I appreciate that. I think the assumption that you will eat the bugs and you'll be happy | ||
| is probably wrong. I think you'll eat the bugs, I don't think you'll be happy, that's the obvious | ||
| thing. But I think the real plan in destroying the US economy is so that American citizens will | ||
| be at the same economic standard of the third world, intentionally. I think so too. | ||
| I was listening to this interesting conversation between Bhatia Angarsargon and Barry Weiss on Barry Weiss's podcast. | ||
| And Bhatia was talking about how essentially what happened was you had the Democrats where their base were union American workers, you know, people who believed in the dignity of work, wanted a good job, decent condition, good working conditions and a good wage, you know, like being a janitor is still a dignified job if you have good working conditions and a good wage, nothing wrong with work, you know. | ||
| And she said that the Democratic base was essentially replaced by college-educated professionals. | ||
| And so if you look at the priorities of the Democratic Party, they're no longer dignitive work, good wages, union jobs, good working conditions. | ||
| Now it's climate change, EV cars, staying in your house, and making sure that there is a very low class of people who will do all the work for you for very little money. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Going back to the Iran thing right now, there were so many opportunities in the last decade that Iran could have been, I hate to say, toppled regime change. | ||
| But there was the Green Revolution that was happening. | ||
| Obama remained silent. | ||
| There were a couple of those women who were let off because they had taken off their hijab in public. | ||
| And there was huge protests in the streets of Tehran. | ||
| Biden remained silent, right? | ||
| I've been hearing the Iran threat my entire life, right? | ||
| So Iran saying, this is it. | ||
| Now we're going to be provoked to the point that we're going to respond. | ||
| Iran is easy to. | ||
| Remove from the problem if we just done things, right? | ||
| It's almost like America has deliberately allowed Iran to be a thorn in our side Whether it's for the military-industrial complex whether it's for God knows what but but it's Iran Should not be the problem that Iran is if America was half of what America claims to be in foreign policy What, an empire that can crush any opposition? | ||
| Iran is a little, tiny, piss-poor country that has hardly any natural resources. | ||
| But it's not tiny. | ||
| Compared to America and in terms of global economy. | ||
| But it's a large, mountainous region with a bunch of anti-aircraft missiles. | ||
| Geographically, it is not as small as the United Kingdom. | ||
| It should not be the threat that it has been. | ||
| It's the same with North Korea, right? | ||
| We have these little tiny countries, and tiny is economically, militarily. | ||
| We have these tiny countries that have been threatening America for 30, 40, 50 years. | ||
| Iran is 636,000 square miles and the UK is 80. | ||
| Like I said, it's not the size of the United Kingdom. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, it's geographically bigger, but it's not... 88 million people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's massive. | ||
| And it's not massive. | ||
| And it's miserably poor. | ||
| I mean, it's just relative to us. | ||
| It doesn't mean that the U.S. | ||
| could just go in there with a boot and crush it in two seconds. | ||
| And I'm not saying that. | ||
| That's why I'm choosing my words very carefully. | ||
| I mean, if we could have done that, George Bush would have tried, right? | ||
| Would we have, though? | ||
| It seems like there were so many opportunities to have just supported the groundswell of populist movement in Iran that we just sat by and watched it happen. | ||
| Iraq and Afghanistan were the U.S. | ||
| attempt at dealing with Iran, and they couldn't do it. | ||
| They surrounded the country with just tons of military bases. | ||
| John Bolton saying in every administration since, we're gonna take Tehran, and then not being able to do it. | ||
| But taking it militarily is foolish and that's all they want is war. | ||
| I don't think you have to do it militarily. | ||
| So you think more like the confessions of an economic hitman style? | ||
| I think there are ways to deal with rogue countries and we've been doing this for 30, 40, 50 years and it's just endless. | ||
| It's endless. | ||
| We have to build an entire military because we have threats from Iran. | ||
| We have to build all this weaponry because we have to be in the Middle East because we have threats from Iran. | ||
| Why don't we just eradicate the threat? | ||
| Because we can't. | ||
| I think we choose not to. I disagree. I think Iran is aligned with Brazil, Russia, China, | ||
| India. That's in the last five, 10 years. Yeah, but but even that's new. Even still, | ||
| there's too many countries aligned with Iran. It's not an issue of the US could. I think the US would | ||
| was trying to deal with Iran. | ||
| Obviously, you can go back to 1979, but you look at Afghanistan and Iraq since the late 80s and the early 90s, the U.S. | ||
| has been trying to find a way to get in. | ||
| The problem is war with Iran means war with other countries, and now it's only gotten worse. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| just doesn't have the ability. | ||
| Iran is known, or I suppose, I'm not an expert on Iran. | ||
| My understanding, having covered a little bit of the periphery, is that it's a mountainous country, we can't invade, and they have surface-to-air missiles that would cut down our air superiority. | ||
| countries that you missed that you mentioned though the BRICS with the exception of China, | ||
| of course, I mean, we've lost all of our diplomatic and economic relations with them | ||
| in the last decade, right? We used to have a good relationship with India. That's gone. We used to | ||
| have a good relationship with Brazil. That's gone. We used to have a fairly innocuous relationship | ||
| with Russia. That's gone, right? And so they've all aligned themselves to Iran. | ||
| But at our lackadaisical response, like American diplomacy has been a disaster for the last three | ||
| years. That's… It's been a disaster for longer than that, but the last three years in particular. | ||
| So you have now, yeah, a solidified relationship of the BRIC nations and Iran But why? | ||
| It's because we've been focusing on crap. | ||
| We've been focusing on gender ideology and we've been focusing on climate change. | ||
| We still have people in this administration who will tell you that climate change is the biggest threat. | ||
| I think the woke stuff Was actually like a Western NATO thing. | ||
| I think it was like the European countries clearly are all doing it. | ||
| And so U.S. | ||
| policy was in line with. | ||
| I think the W.E.F. | ||
| cult wants to turn NATO into a unified body under one governing authority. | ||
| So imagine, you know, the way Illinois operates. | ||
| They have a governor, they have state police, they have laws, but federal law supersedes it, and the feds can come and go as they please. | ||
| I think that's what the World Economic Forum envisions for the Western Globe. | ||
| That's kind of like the way the European Union works, right? | ||
| You're the sovereign nation of France, but if Brussels passes a new rule that says your glass bottles can only be six inches high, France is like, well, we must comply. | ||
| But that's because France is basically a state. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| All the European nations are. | ||
| And they want NATO to be that. | ||
| They want there to be one governing authority comprising of all of the Western bloc, and then the United States would have NATO troops coming and enforcing laws. | ||
| Like, we have the FBI. | ||
| They're a federal branch. | ||
| They're not your state. | ||
| In New York, they're forbidden by law from working with Feds on immigration stuff. | ||
| So yeah. | ||
| Right, because of the sanctuary state thing. | ||
| That's working out great also. | ||
| The president and Congress may get won by Republicans, and then they'll say, we are no longer going to abide by the rules of NATO, and then, you know, NATO says, we can still deploy our troops, we still have military bases, we still have offices in your country, and you can refuse to work with us, but we will operate, you can't do anything about it. | ||
| That's the direction they want us to go. | ||
| Do you think people will comply? | ||
| I mean, I remember when Britain left the EU, there were so many people saying, but why would they do that? | ||
| Whereas to me, it seems obvious that you would not want to be under a central control of an organization that doesn't necessarily represent your views uniquely. | ||
| You want your government to represent you, not all of Europe. | ||
| But I think people get sucked in by the idea like, oh, it's cooperation. | ||
| We all have to have each other's backs. | ||
| They sell it in sort of this romantic way. | ||
| It gets confusing. | ||
| Well, I think that's even happening in America, you know, because we're not a federalist nation anymore. | ||
| We just ignore the Tenth Amendment. | ||
| And so, yeah, you have this all-powerful D.C., and if you are a cattle rancher in Montana and you're like, why the hell does D.C. | ||
| get to it? | ||
| It's because we're D.C. | ||
| and we're in charge. | ||
| And the federal government's looking out for you. | ||
| The federal government is more powerful and in charge. | ||
| My friends, none of this matters, because before anything advances in terms of the expansion of NATO, we'll get World War III. | ||
| From the Hill, Blinken, quote, Ukraine will become a member of NATO. | ||
| And there you have it. | ||
| He was very clear in this. | ||
| He may as well have just said, Russia, please declare war now because we have effectively said it's on. | ||
| We have this from El Pais. | ||
| NATO personnel already in Ukraine for arms control intelligence operations and military training. | ||
| So this is big news. | ||
| And they play this semantic game because I think too many Americans are dumb. | ||
| And that's why they're in a cult to vote Democrat. | ||
| The moment a country places one military personnel in an official capacity in another country, that's it. | ||
| You have entered the war. | ||
| This idea that NATO personnel are operating in Ukraine, but don't worry, they're not fighting. | ||
| They're just hanging out. | ||
| Because what they'll get is the corporate press in America will say, no, there's no soldiers. | ||
| There's no combat troops in Ukraine. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| Snopes. | ||
| Are there actual combat troops from NATO fighting in Ukraine? | ||
| False. | ||
| And then all at the bottom, while there are military personnel providing weapons, training, intelligence, telling the people, giving command and operations, they're not actually fighting themselves. | ||
| Do you think Russia cares? | ||
| No, Russia doesn't care. | ||
| And Russia has said that. | ||
| I keep wondering, like, at what point is Russia going to realize that we're at war with Russia? | ||
| Do you know what I mean? | ||
| Do they know that already? | ||
| Are they just waiting for that? | ||
| Because our guys are, we've provided all of these missiles. | ||
| We've provided all of this stuff that Biden said that we absolutely weren't going to provide. | ||
| He promised that we wouldn't be sending any tanks, and then he sent tanks. | ||
| He promised that we wouldn't be sending F-16s. | ||
| Then we said, like, I just get it from Poland, you know, it's totally fine. | ||
| We promised that we wouldn't be sending long-range missiles and now that's on the table. | ||
| I was at this fascinating debate last week in New York with John Mearsheimer and Daniel Davis and some other people and Heather Conley and former ambassador, whose name I forget, but they were talking about should Congress continue to fund the war in Ukraine. | ||
| And on the one hand, you had Mearsheimer and Davis who were opposed to it saying, there's no way that Ukraine can win this war. | ||
| What we need to do is make Ukraine a neutral territory and, you know, negotiate a way out of this conflict now so that eventually we're not negotiating terms of surrender, right? | ||
| Which I thought was sort of interesting. | ||
| And then you had, on the other side, you had them saying, actually, we should continue this war because if Ukrainians want to fight and die for their freedom, then we should keep funding it. | ||
| We're not actually sending our guys to fight, and it's keeping Russia at bay. | ||
| And it's providing all of this, you know, funding to enhance the military-industrial complex in the United States. | ||
| And I was like, it all is bad. | ||
| Like, every conceivable avenue is terrible. | ||
| I got another option for you there. | ||
| It's good luck, Ukraine. | ||
| I wish you the best. | ||
| Well, there's that too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, that was the Mearsheimer perspective, was like, let's not fund this anymore. | ||
| Well, I'm saying like, that means if they lose, they lose. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I'm not going to argue a neutral ground, or if Ukraine surrenders, good, no more war. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, the idea was that neutral would protect NATO. | ||
| That was sort of the idea. | ||
| I don't like, I think Putin's a bad dude for a lot of reasons. | ||
| I think he's done bad in Ukraine, obviously. | ||
| I think he's got his interests and his propaganda, and I don't care about Ukraine. | ||
| I always love how the conservatives, when it comes to war, they suddenly become Keynesians because they say, like, no, I'm a free market capitalist, but if we can spend a lot of money on the military for war purposes, that's good for the economy. | ||
| And it's like, well, is Ukraine buying? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| The taxpayers are paying for it. | ||
| We're paying for it. | ||
| So suddenly we're all Keynesians now. | ||
| It's like we might as well just... Weren't we selling weapons in World War I and II to Europe? | ||
| Of course, of course. | ||
| I mean, that helped us immensely. | ||
| Did you see the Biden administration will sell fighter jets to Israel? | ||
| Let me clarify this for everybody. | ||
| The Biden administration will give Israel money. | ||
| Israel will then hand the money back to us in exchange for our fighter jets. | ||
| So basically, they found a circuitous method of handing over our fighter jets to Israel. | ||
| It seems crazy to me. | ||
| I mean, to your point of does Russia know that we're at war with them, I 100% think Russia does, purely by the way that they treat the wrongfully detained Americans, right? | ||
| Like Gershkovich. | ||
| Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, Mark Fogle, they're all hanging out and Putin's never going to give them up. | ||
| He has no reason to do America any favors right now, especially as we play coy about this whole, I mean not coy anymore, thanks Blinken, about if Ukraine is going to be a part of NATO. | ||
| That was the one phone call that he made to Biden before when he still had troops on the border. | ||
| He said, I don't want Ukraine in NATO. | ||
| And that ballet dancer. | ||
| Don't we have a ballet dancer? | ||
| We have. | ||
| There's a ballet dancer that she was born in Russia, but she's an American citizen. | ||
| And then there is a reporter who works for Radio Free Europe. | ||
| There was Paul Whelan. | ||
| And then there's also there's two dual Russian-American citizen women that are incarcerated. | ||
| But then it's Griffiths from The Wall Street Journal. | ||
| It's Paul Whelan, the former Marine. | ||
| And it's Mark Fogle, who was detained on marijuana charges. | ||
| He's been doing that for like 10 years. | ||
| And then he got arrested. | ||
| He had brought medical marijuana into the country. | ||
| But the thing is, it's really easy to parallel that with Brittany Griner, right? | ||
| And she was out in less than a year for sure. | ||
| Whereas the other two, the other three men... Negotiated an arms dealer for her release. | ||
| For sure! | ||
| I mean, this is where we are. | ||
| She was a WNBA player. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah, fair point. | ||
| She's very important to us all. | ||
| And apparently these other people are not. | ||
| At least they're not important to the Biden administration. | ||
| And that's how I think Russia knows they're at war and they have a lot of, they know they have a lot of ways to fight the U.S. | ||
| and fight the Western countries that are trying to manipulate them right now. | ||
| Meanwhile, Russia has not sold a drop less of oil, a cubic inch less of natural gas. | ||
| All of these bans that they have, we are boycotting Russian fossil fuels. | ||
| Russia's like, great, we'll just send it directly, we'll sell it directly to India or Iran. | ||
| We have customers. | ||
| No matter what other countries South Korea is buying it and then we'll just sell it to you | ||
| So the French are like we will not buy where am I making so much fun of the French today? | ||
| We will not buy a Russian natural gas But we'll buy it from India who bought her from Russia | ||
| With a small with a small market is as an American with a small markup and the ruble is stronger than it was then two | ||
| years ago the Putin has more money than he did two years ago | ||
| So with all the money coming in, of course he's going to continue the war because we're funding it by also our terrible energy policies and it always comes back to energy. | ||
| All of these sanctions did nothing because I watched this video out of Russia and their McDonald's is just they changed the name and it's identical McDonald's. | ||
| They have all the luxury brands that have that were forced to pull out and now what happens is Russian companies seized the... This is the stupidest thing ever. | ||
| These companies operated in Russia, which meant that the money they made, they could actually send back internationally. | ||
| With the sanctions, McDonald's was like, okay, I guess we're out, and then Russian individuals seized control of the entire infrastructure, and now the money stays in Russia. | ||
| Luxury brands still exist in Russia. | ||
| How do they get them? | ||
| They buy them from a neighboring country. | ||
| They could buy them from China. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, okay, China's under sanctions for Gucci. | ||
| They buy it from there and then they mark it up and sell it in Russia. | ||
| And they just change the name. | ||
| They change the G to something. | ||
| Cause all that stuff is made in China anyways. | ||
| Some of them still are. | ||
| They just keep the same name. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So like the Apple store, for instance, change it name to like, now they have like a different, but it's still all Apple products. | ||
| All they do is order them from a neighboring country. | ||
| They added a P before Hermes and now it's Firmase. | ||
| People are like, oh, look, I have a Firmase. | ||
| Pronouncing that P now. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| No, it's I mean, I don't understand how the Biden administration can't even posture as if Russia doesn't know what's going on and like they have any kind of upper hand. | ||
| And again, And in all of these examples, American people are paying for it. | ||
| I'm assuming energy didn't get any cheaper because of this great backdoor deal. | ||
| We all see that. | ||
| I thank the Lord that I do live on a farm and off-grid, and sometimes I can turn things off. | ||
| Because when you look at foreign policy, you look at border policy, you look at economic policy, | ||
| monetary policy, debt, you start adding the state of, if you could go down a rabbit hole | ||
| of the state of education of our children and how poorly educated they are, | ||
| when you start compiling all these things together, you could go insane. | ||
| I mean, if you realize, like, if anyone could point to one thing | ||
| that is quote-unquote working, just one thing that you're like, | ||
| well, at least we got- Biden drained the strategic petroleum reserves | ||
| and will not refill them. | ||
| Even though he promised. | ||
| Because if he does, it will drive the prices back up It's too expensive. | ||
| It's a Biden promise. | ||
| It doesn't mean anything. | ||
| It doesn't. | ||
| He's made so many promises, and he doesn't keep any of them. | ||
| Trump was hell-bent on keeping his promises, even when he couldn't do it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, he was like, we're getting a wall! | ||
| Like, I have to do it. | ||
| And he built a bunch of it. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And they tried stopping him. | ||
| Imagine if he succeeded in building his big brick wall 30 feet tall from sea to shining sea. | ||
| I'd love it. | ||
| No border crisis. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
| Yeah, it'd be a wonderful thing. | ||
| It'd be a lot easier to get snipers up there like they have in Israel. | ||
| I do love how Trump was like, I want a big concrete wall. | ||
| And they were like, that's actually bad because then we can't see on the other side. | ||
| And he's like, oh. | ||
| And they were like, okay, well, what if we did like fencing on the bottom and then concrete on top? | ||
| And they were like, you still can't see on the other side. | ||
| He wanted like the Great Wall of China, right? | ||
| He wanted something big. | ||
| That would be easy. | ||
| Then it could be a tourist attraction. | ||
| We'd love it! | ||
| That's a good idea. | ||
| They built sections. | ||
| To try out. | ||
| And the issue with the solid walls is that it allows the gangs to operate in darkness on the other side. | ||
| So they were like, bollard fencing makes the most sense. | ||
| You put the shields up on top and razor wire, and then you can see them as they're trying to break through to the other side. | ||
| And I love how the left is like, walls don't work. | ||
| And I'm like, are you kidding? | ||
| A three meter chain link fence in Europe shut down, I think it was, It might have been into Greece, or it might have been Hungary. | ||
| It was a chain-link fence nine feet high, and immigration dropped to like one percent of its previous levels, and you know why? | ||
| Because families don't climb walls. | ||
| The men can, but the people who are coming had grandmothers, they had babies, and they'd come to a chain-link fence and be like, let's just keep going. | ||
| And they wouldn't come in. | ||
| Chain-link fence worked. | ||
| Well, also, I mean, if walls didn't work, why did cities in Europe wall their cities for centuries? | ||
| Why do you live in a house if walls don't work? | ||
| Why do you live in a house if they just let everybody in? | ||
| They just put up a bunch of walls around the capital of the State of the Union, you know? | ||
| They always put up those walls overnight. | ||
| Those walls apparently just don't work. | ||
| That's why they put them up. | ||
| That's why they do it. | ||
| Walls of Jericho, those worked really well. | ||
| It needed a miracle to take those down. | ||
| Yeah, I think maybe we should ask the Democrats. | ||
| They should take down the walls around Gaza. | ||
| And just, you know, Israel can just do that because walls don't work, right? | ||
| I mean, Egypt should do that too, probably. | ||
| Egypt should totally get rid of those walls. | ||
| No more walls anywhere. | ||
| They just don't work. | ||
| No more walls on houses. | ||
| No more walls in any commercial building. | ||
| No walls between countries. | ||
| Just all gone. | ||
| Architects everywhere are suddenly are scrambling to redo their entire profession. | ||
| You know what I hate that architects did? | ||
| You know how they always, this is off topic, but you know how they always, uh, in modern hotels, you can see into the bathroom and they're like, like, what the hell? | ||
| I don't need this. | ||
| I ended up in one of these rooms with my son one time and I was like, there's, we can't do this. | ||
| I'm not, this is just not how, I had to call down. | ||
| I was like, you got to change this room. | ||
| What was like the glass bathroom? | ||
| It was a glass bathroom, and so if you're sitting in the bedroom area, you're looking into the shower. | ||
| Was it, like, fogged? | ||
| It was not fogged. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| It was not fogged. | ||
| I went to one hotel. | ||
| It was just clear glass. | ||
| They had a window into the shower from the bedroom. | ||
| I've seen that before. | ||
| Yeah, that's what this was, but it was the full floor. | ||
| This one just had, like, a small window, and I was like... | ||
| I get it, if it's a couple that's going on vacation. | ||
| And they're into that? | ||
| Sometimes you're sharing a room with your sister, though, right? | ||
| You don't really want the whole... For your mom? | ||
| When you call the hotel, my girl is gonna be like, look, I'm traveling with someone I'm related to. | ||
| Please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Full walls. | |
| Or even with your spouse, there are just certain things I don't want an audience for. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For real. | |
| That's the thing. | ||
| Like, it's okay. | ||
| Keep a little mystery about yourself. | ||
| Save the relationship. | ||
| Walls. | ||
| Walls are good. | ||
| Yes, walls are good! | ||
| Thank you so much, that's so true! | ||
| Walls are key. | ||
| That's why we've been building them for so long. | ||
| The whole society thinks we're into it. | ||
| I'm a fan of walls. | ||
| I like them. | ||
| Look, I'm pro-wall. | ||
| I'm willing to say it. | ||
| No, I think this is one of the most interesting parts of all of, well, do you remember, so there were like gaps in the wall at various points, and when Doug Ducey was governor of Arizona, he was like stacking shipping containers. | ||
| That's right, and Biden was like, you gotta take this down. | ||
| Biden was like, you have to stop because animals cannot migrate, and also this is federal land, it'll also take it down and we don't like it. | ||
| And also, we just really want to allow the entire world to come in with absolutely no consequences. | ||
| Biden is pro-no-bathrooms, you know what I'm saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to jump to the story for all those... Just read Ashley Biden's diary. | |
| I want to jump to the story for all the Biden fans out there. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we got her! | ||
| We got her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got her. | |
| It's exciting. | ||
| The 71-year-old praying grandmother is going down! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Lock her up! | |
| Thank the Lord for Joe Biden's DOJ and Merrick Garland for tracking down this dangerous criminal. | ||
| Now, I know there's a bunch of criminal aliens that are, you know, that are rapists and murderers, and, you know, people like Laker Riley get murdered and stuff, but this praying grandma, hmm, I don't know, what's she praying about? | ||
| What was she asking for, huh? | ||
| I just want to know the bill that it took to bring her in. | ||
| How many tax dollars did they spend on this one investigation? | ||
| No, I figured it out. | ||
| She said she was praying for her country. | ||
| You know what that means? | ||
| She was praying that Biden would lose. | ||
| And that means Biden has to arrest her because those prayers are dangerous. | ||
| It's treason. | ||
| She was going to manifest a Trump 2024 victory. | ||
| pipe bomb at the RNC. Do they know? Has the FBI solved that one for us yet? | ||
| That's not important! You are losing perspective on how we keep this country safe! | ||
| You know what's crazy? Let me read the story here from the Post. | ||
| It's from the Post Monument. Oh, right. | ||
| Colorado praying grandma who walked in Capitol on J6 found guilty by DCG. | ||
| jury. | ||
| On Thursday afternoon, a Colorado grandmother who briefly entered the Capitol building on January 6th after preying on the grounds of the group for over an hour was found guilty of four misdemeanor charges. | ||
| Multiple sources close to the case confirmed to the Post Millennial that she had been found guilty this afternoon. | ||
| She could be sentenced to a year in prison and fines exceeding $200,000. | ||
| This little old lady, dude, I've heard stories. | ||
| I've told this story before. | ||
| When I was growing up, an old man ran over a teenage girl and smashed her skull. | ||
| And the penalty was, you lose your license. | ||
| And this lady walked in the building for a few minutes. | ||
| She's a threat to no one. | ||
| Misdemeanors now send you to jail? | ||
| That's the crazy thing. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| Misdemeanors always could. | ||
| Misdemeanors are usually, I can't speak for other states. | ||
| In Illinois, a misdemeanor is anything less than a year. | ||
| And prison and felonies are anything a year or more. | ||
| So yes, you commit a misdemeanor, you can get six months or something. | ||
| But what is the purpose of imprisonment? | ||
| Is this lady a threat to anyone? | ||
| Is she going to stage a revolution? | ||
| Will she be a soldier in Trump's army? | ||
| The answer to this question, no. | ||
| She's gonna go home, sit in her little rocking chair, and she's going to pray. | ||
| Well, she has a bed and breakfast in Colorado Springs. | ||
| And what was interesting when I was reading her account and reading the accounts of when she was, uh, when the FBI showed up, the FBI showed up, she was literally baking a cake for her son's birthday and asked them to come back another day. | ||
| And they did, because that's how threatening she is. | ||
| That's how threatening this little old lady is. | ||
| They saw her holding that knife or cutting the cake. | ||
| And she was like, could you come back? | ||
| Please, please. | ||
| She's going to pray at us. | ||
| Let's get out of here. | ||
| The feds ran off terrified. | ||
| It'd be embarrassing to be the FBI agent who brought her down. | ||
| It'd be embarrassing to be the juror who was like, you know what? | ||
| I think she better go to jail. | ||
| Well, this was this was like a 26 hour deliberation because it looks like there was one juror at least who was just like, no, we can't we can't do it. | ||
| And eventually that juror was swayed. | ||
| It took like they started deliberations on Monday and they finished yesterday. | ||
| That juror wasn't swayed. | ||
| They weren't swayed. | ||
| They were blackmailed. | ||
| Yeah, they were browbeaten by 11 other Washingtonians. | ||
| We wanna go home! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, you wouldn't get me to be able to change that. | ||
| I'm just a little too ups in it. | ||
| I would put my feet up on the table, lean back and be like, nope. | ||
| You wanna go home, you change your vote. | ||
| I was in D.C. | ||
| for almost 20 years, and I got jury duty every year, and I was kicked out within four seconds of G.C. | ||
| jury duty. | ||
| They never wanted me to serve on a jury, but these are the people exactly who they want. | ||
| I've tried, like, I've been called into jury duty a lot in New York City, where I used to live, and I never get picked either. | ||
| Never. | ||
| And I'm always like, pick me! | ||
| And they're like, no. | ||
| They're like, too eager, get out of here. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Believe in the criminal justice system. | ||
| It's because everybody wants stupid people. | ||
| Yeah, they just want idiots. | ||
| And I'd be like, my parents were attorneys. | ||
| They're like, not malleable enough. | ||
| Please see yourself out. | ||
| Would they give you reasons or just say, Jerry, you're dismissed or something? | ||
| No, they'd just be like, you're dismissed. | ||
| They'd talk to me for a minute. | ||
| You're dismissed. | ||
| Over and over again. | ||
| It would just be stuff about the case, like if you ever had experience with domestic violence or whatever else. | ||
| Do you have a family member who is in law enforcement? | ||
| And I do, so that always got me kicked off. | ||
| You just yell when they say, have you ever had an encounter with the police related to drugs or anything? | ||
| Just be like, no, but he's guilty! | ||
| He's guilty and I know it! | ||
| Can I go home now? | ||
| I never want to go home. | ||
| I would love to serve on a jury. | ||
| I think it would be so fascinating. | ||
| I think they intentionally don't want people who are interested in the process. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You have to be frustrated and want to go. | ||
| Because it's the same. | ||
| I would love to be on a jury, but I definitely am able to acknowledge that any of the January 6th cases, it would be very difficult to convince me that the charges that they... | ||
| The charges that they were definitely being tried for are accurate to the situation. | ||
| That's what was so interesting about this, because I was reading the statement of facts that, like, the FBI provided, and it has all this information about what she did, including that LaFrance stated that she spent approximately 10 minutes inside the Capitol and described her path as roaming from the East Center entrance to the rotunda and back, exiting through the same door that she entered. | ||
| She walked in a circle. | ||
| Yeah, she gave the FBI agents photos, including a photo of her talking to a Capitol Police officer who sort of leans forward to try and hear her over the crowd, you know, because she's so dangerous that he's like leaning forward to her. | ||
| And it said, based on the foregoing, there is probable cause to believe that LaVrenne's violated, you know, knowingly enter or remain in any restricted building or grounds. | ||
| Also probable cause to believe that she Willfully and knowingly uttered loud, threatening or abusive language or engaged in disorderly conduct. | ||
| And she didn't do any of those things. | ||
| She prayed. | ||
| She went in for 10 minutes. | ||
| She wandered around. | ||
| She talked to a cop and she left. | ||
| She talked to a cop so quietly, he had to lean in. | ||
| He had to lean in. | ||
| If you look at the picture, he's just like leaning in. | ||
| The best part is, like, if you walked in, walked up to a cop and said, are we allowed to be here? | ||
| And he went, no. | ||
| I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. | ||
| I'm leaving. | ||
| They would have left. | ||
| They'd still charge you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They charge people who are on the ground. | ||
| They charge people who went to the cops and said, hey, do you need any help? | ||
| Can I help you with something? | ||
| And the cops said, we gotta get these people out of here. | ||
| And they went, let's get these people out of here. | ||
| We'll help. | ||
| They charged those guys. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And this is going to be a huge problem for the election because the thousands of FBI agents who are involved in this know that if Trump were to win and all the J6 people get blanket pardon, which I do think they would, I do think he would change the FBI to say, let's start investigating the folks who led this charge. | ||
| And if you're a 48-year-old guy in the FBI, and you've got 25 years under your belt, and you're heading up this task force, you're not going to go down with President Trump or his new FBI head, who I pray is Rand Paul. | ||
| I've tweeted it many times. | ||
| I would love to have Rand Paul be the— He's not going to leave the Senate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But this is why— How great would it be if he— The names of the FBI agents are all redacted. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| And that's why these guys know— And this is why Trump can't win. | ||
| This is why they have to stop him from this. | ||
| This is why there have been people like Cernovich saying way too many people. | ||
| They cannot let Trump win under no circumstance because there are going to be people in the federal government with weapons who are sitting there thinking, well, if Trump wins, I go to prison for the rest of my life or worse. | ||
| So, what does that mean? | ||
| Yeah, so that's why this next couple of months are going to be absolutely insane. | ||
| We were joking how today was kind of like, wow, it's actually kind of a normal news day. | ||
| I think that's coming to an end because of that. | ||
| Well, the eclipse is on Monday, and that's it. | ||
| That's when, you know, the end begins. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| I'm tired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm ready. | |
| If it's a meteor, just take me. | ||
| Just take me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've been dealing with these baby lambs and sheep. | |
| You know, I'm just so exhausted. | ||
| Yeah, if the media doesn't take me, the DOJ will. | ||
| I do think it's funny that everyone cares so much about this eclipse. | ||
| It's just silly. | ||
| Because we had an eclipse recently. | ||
| We've had eclipses. | ||
| I saw an eclipse a couple years ago, whenever it was. | ||
| It was an eclipse in October. | ||
| I built a big cardboard box thing so we could pinhole look through it and watch the eclipse inside the box. | ||
| They're just trying to normalize eclipses. | ||
| So when they block out the sun, so when Bill Gates' block out the sun machine. | ||
| When he blocks out the sun, you'll be like, ah, this happens all the time. | ||
| The electric grid finally fails completely and we're all in darkness. | ||
| Just pretend it's an eclipse! | ||
| But then we wouldn't be able to talk about it anyway because social media would be down. | ||
| I will say this. | ||
| The last total eclipse was August 2017 and the last eclipse before that was 1979. | ||
| Why are they getting closer together? | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| Total solar eclipse. | ||
| I guess because October was an annular eclipse and then this is a total eclipse. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| August 2017, that's when I built my little box. | ||
| I watched it at the beach. | ||
| That's when Trump was on the balcony, right? | ||
| And they were like, Mr. President, you should have glasses. | ||
| And he's like, I'm good. | ||
| He was like, I'm just gonna look at it myself. | ||
| Yeah, I'm good. | ||
| Which is great. | ||
| And is he blind? | ||
| They were like, he's gonna go blind. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is he blind? | |
| It's totally fine to look at an eclipse the way Trump did. | ||
| I don't recommend it, but Trump looked up and then looked down. | ||
| Yeah, that's not the issue. | ||
| The issue is that people stare at it for a long period of time because they don't understand that it's frying their eyes. | ||
| You can look at the sun, you know. | ||
| It's just you don't stare at it. | ||
| You look up and go, oh, it's bright. | ||
| So Trump looks up and goes, oh, yeah, well, look at that. | ||
| And everyone's like, ha ha, he's an idiot. | ||
| He looked at the eclipse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was shocked. | |
| These people are morons. | ||
| Look, these clips couldn't take Trump down. | ||
| I think that's great. | ||
| What good marketing, right? | ||
| He does that. | ||
| Then he takes a bite out of his Big Mac. | ||
| But the people in the eclipse zone though, this one coming, which is kind of like Houston, all across Arkansas, all the way up to Buffalo, New York, they're going insane with school closures and businesses are getting shut down. | ||
| Doesn't it last all of about like 38 seconds or a minute and a half, right? | ||
| And all these states are like, it's a state of emergency! | ||
|
unidentified
|
State of emergency is too far. | |
| Let things be fun, you know? | ||
| Like, Catholic kids learn about eclipse day at school and not go, like, life is so hard. | ||
| Just let us celebrate the eclipse. | ||
| Don't panic. | ||
| Let your children learn about science. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| There's a level where, like, yes, it's not that big a deal. | ||
| On the other hand, for some kids, they're gonna be like, oh yeah, I remember this day. | ||
| It's a big deal. | ||
| It's a big deal. | ||
| I don't want to be too negative about it. | ||
| But maybe don't let them stare into the sun. | ||
| Don't stare into the sun. | ||
| Okay, so I'm reading about the difference between annular and total. | ||
| In October, we had an annular eclipse, and that's when the moon is further away from the earth. | ||
| So you don't actually get darkness, you get a negative shadow, they call it. | ||
| So things get dim, and you see the ring of the sun. | ||
| With a total eclipse, that's when it's total darkness. | ||
| So I guess it'll get real dark, that'll be fun. | ||
| And it's dark for three minutes, but it's gonna be, it's a two-hour period, it's a two-hour process. | ||
| So where we are, we have up to upwards of 90%. | ||
| Uh, so if you're in, like, Ohio, that's where it's totality. | ||
| But where we are, it's gonna be dark and there's gonna be a thin sliver that you'll be able to see. | ||
| And what happens during a total eclipse of the heart? | ||
| Is that similar? | ||
| I have no idea what that means. | ||
| It is so stuck in my head and has been since the beginning of this conversation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We were all thinking about it, except for maybe Tim. | |
| I was not thinking about it. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Look, I'm not big on the pop culture references. | ||
| So we can see it from where we are. | ||
| When is this happening? | ||
| Wednesday? | ||
| No, Monday. | ||
| Monday. | ||
| What time? | ||
| 2.03pm until... Eastern? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Well, we're in Eastern time, so... I guess we should go outside and take a look. | ||
| I know, but like, post-millennial, I have people from Vancouver to... They can't see it at all. | ||
| I know, I'm just used to like, I just keep saying it. | ||
| Maybe she's bragging about her international stuff. | ||
| No, I'm just used to saying it. | ||
| Call the Vancouver people and describe it to them on the phone. | ||
| We don't have an office. | ||
| You will not see a total solar eclipse. | ||
| You will see a crescent. | ||
| My poor sheep are all gonna start heading towards the barn. | ||
| Here's the cool thing, though. | ||
| If you look under a tree, if the leaves have grown in, you'll see little crescents everywhere. | ||
| Oh, that's cute. | ||
| Yeah, because the focal point between the leaves will make little, they look like little crescent moons, you know? | ||
| Yeah, that's fun. | ||
| I saw something about a teacher saying she's going to put a disco ball out and have it reflect onto like poster boards so kids can like see the little crescent shape or whatever it is. | ||
| I love science! | ||
| It's great! | ||
| The cool thing is that when it gets dark, all the bugs come out, because they think it's nighttime, and the animals start freaking out. | ||
| So your lambs are going to be confused. | ||
| Well, when it gets to be dark, they all start walking towards the barn, because they like to sleep in the barn, because they're all giving birth. | ||
| They don't like wind very much. | ||
| Who does? | ||
| I don't want to sleep in the wind either. | ||
| They've got a lot of hair, they don't want to mess up. | ||
| So they will, and then as soon as the light comes back a minute later, they'll be like, oh, that was a mistake, and they'll turn around. | ||
| I know I'm gonna miss it. | ||
| But it's two hours. | ||
| It takes two hours? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, I thought it was like- At 2.03 is when the moon will start covering the sun. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And so you will get different degrees of darkness over a two-hour period. | ||
| Oh, that's a long time. | ||
| Yeah, so at 3.20 or whatever is when you'll get total darkness, and then it'll be very, very dark. | ||
| I should just start drinking. | ||
| And then it'll slowly getting brighter again. | ||
| I may just have a party on my phone. | ||
| You have three minutes of total darkness, but you have An hour until it hits that point. | ||
| So it's going to be slowly dimming over an hour until it's totally dark. | ||
| So in three minutes of total darkness, if you're in the city, are you allowed to loot and steal things in those three minutes? | ||
| In a Democrat city, you're always allowed to, whether it eclipses or not. | ||
| But you can do it really fast. | ||
| Three minutes of hell. | ||
| It's superpowers. | ||
| I don't know, they're firing rockets at it. | ||
| CERN's firing up the Large Hadron Collider. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| CERN is crazy. | ||
| Well, I love they're called APEP rockets. | ||
| APEP, the god of Egypt, who is a serpent that chases the sun. | ||
| So, you know, I think that's just silly. | ||
| That is silly. | ||
| But they did it on purpose. | ||
| Well, we love a good historical reference. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Creativity, it abounds. | ||
| Well, let's talk about this story. | ||
| The DOJ wants to arrest the lady who found Ashley Biden's diary. | ||
| MAGA raises questions as Ashley Biden diary thief faces prison. | ||
| All right. | ||
| On Tuesday, prosecutors in New York sent a letter to a judge requesting that Amy Harris, the individual accused of stealing the diary of Joe Biden's daughter, face four to ten months of jail time in the case. | ||
| Quote, the defendant's sentence must also account for the manner in which she has abused | ||
| the administration of justice throughout the pendency of this court proceeding. | ||
| The letter filed by U.S. | ||
| U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said. | ||
| The defendant has repeatedly and consistently engaged in tactics to improperly delay this | ||
| proceeding, including by misleading the court with false information to justify belated | ||
| and unmerited requests for adjournments, refusing to appear when directed, and failing to comply | ||
| with court orders to disclose or produce certain information. | ||
| In 2022, Harris and Robert Kurlander were arrested. | ||
| In connection with the theft of Ashley Biden's diary, the two pled guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property involving the theft of personal belongings of an immediate family member of then-former government official who was a candidate for national public office. | ||
| You know, the funny thing is it was like... | ||
| Diaries not real because in it doesn't she say that she was like molested by Biden? | ||
| Yeah, like in the shower and stuff. | ||
| Yeah, she uses the word molested. | ||
| I think right? | ||
| Yeah, she does use the word molested. | ||
| It was leaked and Project Veritas had bought the diary I think for like 40 grand. | ||
| And I remember at the time when that all came out and then they had turned it over directly to the FBI, they didn't publish any of it. | ||
| And then some of it was leaked, but they didn't publish it. | ||
| And I think O'Keefe is still facing charges over this. | ||
| He's still dealing with a legal fight over this whole situation, having received stolen property or whatever. | ||
| He turned over to the FBI. | ||
| He was raided by the FBI later. | ||
| The New York Times basically tipped off the FBI. | ||
| It was this whole mess. | ||
| And meanwhile, if I recall, the diary was found in a room, like all of the articles that I was reading about it today, it said that Ashley Biden had recently departed. | ||
| It makes it sound like she left her bag there and ran to the store and they stole her diary. | ||
| No, it was like she was staying at someone's house. | ||
| She was staying there. | ||
| She left her diaries. | ||
| She left a duffel bag of crap. | ||
| Left. | ||
| And took off. | ||
| And then another person came and sat in that room and was like, oh my gosh, I have Ashley Biden's diary. | ||
| But you're totally right. | ||
| There was this phase where they were like, that's not real. | ||
| It's fake. | ||
| It's the same thing they did with Hunter Biden's laptop. | ||
| And these children just have a problem leaving their possessions all around. | ||
| Did no one tell them to like take care of their stuff? | ||
| Maybe someone should have told Joe Biden not to molest his children. | ||
| That's possible as well. | ||
| The way they're going after this girl is the way they go after I forget the name of the guy who found hunters law or | ||
| the IT guy who wears the beret Isaac? | ||
| Isaac yeah, really is like I why am I being charged? I didn't do anything wrong | ||
| He asked me to fix his laptop left his equipment here. We're the ones in trouble | ||
| So it's the same. | ||
| The disclaimer says in 90 days it's mine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Kill the messenger. | ||
| Kill the messenger. | ||
| In this case, the property finder. | ||
| It couldn't possibly be Hunter or Ashley's fault. | ||
| They have never done anything wrong in their entire lives. | ||
| I'm sure that everything they do is justified. | ||
| That's why we said run, Navy, run, run. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Stay in, Arkansas Navy. | ||
| No, it is wild to me that this was just confirming that the diary is real, that it's hers, that we're mad about, that the Democrats are mad about it, and also no matter what happens to the Biden children, they're supposed to be protected at all costs. | ||
| I mean, it makes me wonder what other stuff is buried that they are trying to insulate, you know, protect them from. | ||
| Any kind of consequences, right? | ||
| I mean, I feel sad for Ashley Biden in the sense that, like, if you have a very dark childhood and you write about it in a diary and it gets exposed to public, that must be difficult. | ||
| That must be hard. | ||
| On the other hand, it is interesting to me that you left your diary in someone's guest room, from what I can tell, and then just never came back for it. | ||
| Like, that does seem sort of like a careless move. | ||
| I think so, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And she's a little bit careless, I think. | ||
| This is a really messed up family. | ||
| Yeah, it's dark. | ||
| On so many levels. It's really messed up. I mean, this alone is very upsetting. | ||
| The fact that Hunter buried his brother and within days was sleeping with his widow. | ||
| You know, I mean, they're this is a really weird questions that like weird text messages with his niece. | ||
| It is arrested development. | ||
| With weird questions, weird text messages with his niece. | ||
| That was all weird. | ||
| Weird poses with his niece. | ||
| Yeah, all that stuff. | ||
| Yeah, this is a very messed up family and we can see what it's done to the country. | ||
| Yay. | ||
| But character doesn't matter. | ||
| We learned that in the Clinton administration. | ||
| Character doesn't matter. | ||
| The only thing that matters in elections is how many pieces of paper did you collect? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Everything else is just wishful thinking. | ||
| So everyone's like, oh, the Republicans need to spread October Surprise and share the story. | ||
| Dude, Democrats are so far beyond this. | ||
| I like the way you said- Democrats are like, collect as many pieces of paper as possible. | ||
| I like the way you said collect as many pieces of paper, not get people to vote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Collect paper. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Which is not the same thing. | ||
| Whoever has the most pieces of paper wins. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's just, that's it. | ||
| Whoever has the most piece of paper. | ||
| Or the most computer tallies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Where you find a good thumb drive somewhere. | ||
| I mean, anything could happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Whoever has the most thumb drives they've forgotten brought in at four in the morning. | ||
| It's really a question of creativity at that point. | ||
| I think that's what we're looking at this November with everybody saying, oh, Republicans need to do this, need to do that. | ||
| It's like Republicans need to ballot harvest where it's legal. | ||
| Well, that's what Laura Trump was saying. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Which I think makes sense. | ||
| But I think, did you see the story we covered about the Social Security Administration voters? | ||
| Texas has hundreds of thousands of people registering to vote, 1.25 million since January that don't have IDs. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| And in Missouri, for the week of February 17th, 23,000 dead people tried to register to vote without an ID. | ||
| Oh boy, that's good. | ||
| That's a good number. | ||
| Yeah, so I think Republicans are going to be like, we got to win Arizona and Georgia, and then Democrats are going to somehow win Texas. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Well, I think Texas has been in trouble for a while, but yeah. | ||
| Right, now you've got all these voter registrations and don't be surprised if they're like, in a shocking upset, Democrats won Texas, Republicans got the swing states, but Texas is worth more. | ||
| Well you're gonna, and you also have Merrick Garland who announced this the other day that he was trying to on the federal level abolish all voter ID laws because of a civil equity insert. | ||
| phrase here, right? | ||
| So, I mean, clearly, if you don't like voter identification, it's because you want to find an easier way to cheat. | ||
| It's just very, very simple. | ||
| I used to sort of think that, you know, not having voter ID had a little bit of some kind of honor to it, you know, and now I think there should just be voter ID. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, you have to get ID for everything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Even when, before I had a license, I had to have a non-driver's ID. | ||
| You have to get a student ID. | ||
| Like, everybody has an ID. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| If you ask gas station attendants... I think it's, like, racist to say that you can't get a... That you can't figure it out. | ||
| That you can't figure it out, like Kamala Harris. | ||
| Where are black people gonna get a copy machine? | ||
| If you're a gas station or a 7-Eleven attendant and you want to pass a rule that says I shouldn't have to ask for ID to sell beer, it's because you just want more people to buy beer. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| You know they're 17. | ||
| You don't want to go through the hassle. | ||
| You don't care that they're 17. | ||
| You just want to sell beer. | ||
| And similarly, they just want people to vote. | ||
| They don't care if they're illegal. | ||
| They know they're illegal. | ||
| None of that matters. | ||
| They just want people to vote. | ||
| And so it's all about cheating. 100%. | ||
| And they're good at it. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| None of that even matters. | ||
| And we just get World War Three. | ||
| And then there's no election. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then you'll eat the bugs and enjoy it. | ||
| Well, not me. | ||
| I have chickens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You won't enjoy it. | |
| For how much longer do you have chickens? | ||
| Forever. | ||
| Well, until they, no, we have to start, don't we have to start categorizing all the chickens? | ||
| That was a UK story. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| But how long until the U.S. | ||
| tries to import that? | ||
| There's so much stuff that gets demoed in Europe that American politicians are like, that seemed like it might be working. | ||
| That's why we need to pass the 27th Amendment as soon as possible. | ||
| Which would be? | ||
| Chickens, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| It's too bad the founding fathers didn't think things like that would be necessary. | ||
| And I'm half kidding, but it's true. | ||
| There was probably never a thought in their mind where the government would come and try and take their chickens from them, or their goats, or their cows, or whatever. | ||
| But now we're literally at the point where the federal government is telling people they can't have their own milk. | ||
| There's a big story going on right now where they're trying to shut down a farm because he has wrong He has raw milk and they don't want him to be able to give it to anybody at all. | ||
| I think that's very rude. | ||
| But it's for your own good, right? | ||
| It's for the health. | ||
| Well, it's always for your own good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| We're just trying to protect you. | ||
| Same reason you have to take the COVID shot. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's for your own good. | ||
| We're just trying to protect you from you. | ||
| Same reason that we have to shut down speech on the internet because it might be misinformation. | ||
| We're gonna legalize all these drugs, and that's totally fine, but you can't have raw milk. | ||
| Portland had decriminalized all these hard drugs, like, you know, heroin, and they just recently reversed it. | ||
| Because it turns out, letting everybody go run wild and get high and wander around the streets is not good for society. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| I think the plan was, you open the dam, flood and destroy the city, then you close the dam, and you buy up all the property for dirt. | ||
| So these Democrat politicians want to gain, they want to buy, and they want to own. | ||
| So what do you do? | ||
| Okay, drugs are legal. | ||
| Property values collapse. | ||
| Crime skyrockets. | ||
| You buy up all the properties for cheap. | ||
| Okay, drugs are illegal again. | ||
| Oh yeah, that's kind of gross too. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Bill de Blasio said after the COVID lockdowns he was going to buy up these buildings for public housing. | ||
| They're outright saying, we do a plan, then when the property value is destroyed, we get it for cheap. | ||
| Think about how crazy that is. | ||
| They're doing that in Maui. | ||
| The government Can literally say, we will enact a policy to destroy your property values, then buy them up for pennies on the dollar, and then get rid of that policy and sell it for profit. | ||
| You look in LA right now, and they passed this mansion tax, 4% on mansions from 5-10 million dollars, and the housing market collapsed 70%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Duh. | ||
| Nobody wants to buy. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Why would you? | ||
| Especially when they're affording other states to live in. | ||
| Yeah, California is really leading on so many bad economic decisions. | ||
| It's admirable. | ||
| But Gavin Newsom is there! | ||
| You don't think he's doing a good job? | ||
| You always have to look at California because that's how the rest of the country is going to go. | ||
| That's something Erin Friday always says. | ||
| She's like a very gender critical woman in California. | ||
| She's, you know, lefty. | ||
| She's liberal. | ||
| And she's just like, you guys got to watch it. | ||
| Everything bad is happening in California, you know, and it's going to leak out into the rest of the country. | ||
| And it is. | ||
| In fact, I remember calling State Senator Brad Hoylman's office in New York City. | ||
| to ask some question about policy that they were doing. | ||
| And I said, you know, this is very similar to the policy they're doing in California. | ||
| It was a, you know, a sanctuary state for trans minors, right? | ||
| Whatever that is. | ||
| And the woman who I spoke with on the phone was very pleased to tell me that, in fact, Brad Hoylman's office had worked in concert with state senator in California Scott Weiner's office to launch similar legislation and that they had been working to Basically in concert to do that. | ||
| And so a lot of this legislation, once it hits California, it intentionally is leaked out into the rest of the country. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They lead on all things green. | ||
| Energy mandates, bans on fossil fuels, bans on gas cars. | ||
| Yeah, like cutting off the ability to sell gas cars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And to buy gas cars. | ||
| What is that, 2030 they're going to do that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
2030. | |
| I was looking at that today because Pete Buttigieg was basically making fun of anybody in the United States who doesn't want to have an EV. | ||
| And he was like, you know, the industry is moving to electric and American consumers want electric. | ||
| And so I was like, weren't there a ton of subsidies? | ||
| And yeah, it's like you could get $7,500 from the government if you buy an EV. | ||
| The American citizens want to pay less for vehicles. | ||
| They do not necessarily want EVs. | ||
| I dislike Pete Buttigieg on so many levels. | ||
| There's so many reasons, yeah. | ||
| And I've done a lot of radio on this in the last couple of days because he made that obnoxious | ||
| comparison. Totally condescending. Total disdain. | ||
| It was totally condescending. | ||
| Where he says, it reminds me of the early 2000s when people wouldn't give up their | ||
| landline because the cell phone came around. And you want to say, but little Cub Scout Pete, | ||
| when did the government ever say that landlines will be illegal by the year 2020? | ||
| When did we ever ban people? | ||
| When was there ever an incentive program to buy a cell phone? | ||
| There was never a, hey, we're doing a deal with Apple or Samsung or Razor Phone or Flip Phone. | ||
| Those were cool, those little Motorola's. | ||
| Yeah, the one that flipped up and it had the screen down at the bottom, right? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| There was never a government incentive program and we never banned the competition. | ||
| So how offensive is it for you to say it's just like the cell phones where people refuse to... No, they didn't. | ||
| We didn't adopt... | ||
| Cell phones because in the beginning they stunk right and they were expensive and there are Seinfeld episodes making fun of it because they were so expensive and so unreliable and so But but the technology caught up with it and I do think the technology on all these things EVs etc May catch up one day. | ||
| I really don't but I have to say that It may catch up one day, but it will only catch up if the free market is allowed to operate. | ||
| But you've got idiots like Pete Buttigieg who subsidize this. | ||
| They have no incentive to produce a better product. | ||
| Why would you? | ||
| Why fight to make a better EV if the government's just gonna still give me free crap, free money, and force Hannah Clare to buy it. | ||
| Why would I want to make a better one? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the thing. | |
| If you have forced customers, he doesn't need to market to the American people, doesn't need to convince them. | ||
| He just needs to kind of bully them and then also say it's happening anyway, so just fall in line. | ||
| And I think that mentality is terrible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, Ford was going to launch an electric truck and an electric SUV, but they're now doing hybrid instead. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They push that back. | ||
| Toyota is the best example of this because Toyota always said, we are not going the EV route. | ||
| We are going to stick with hybrids. | ||
| Toyota is the world's largest auto manufacturer. | ||
| They don't joke around when it comes to cars. | ||
| And they said, we're never going to go electric because there's no market for it. | ||
| There are way too many supply change and raw material problems. | ||
| No, and they were getting blasted from the EU, they were getting blasted from the Biden administration, Toyota better get on board because we have forced the big three here in America, otherwise we're going to put them out of business, right? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And all these companies, and you mentioned earlier, all these auto jobs that are disappearing, right, because we've forced them to create a product that nobody wants. | ||
| Well, and that's why Trump was talking about the bloodbath, right? | ||
| The bloodbath in the automotive industry. | ||
| Because what he was saying is, these are good union jobs. | ||
| You know, these are people who are working, they make like $80,000 a year. | ||
| Why would we want to get rid of these jobs or ship them somewhere else? | ||
| Like, these are people who can, you know, buy homes and raise families with this salary. | ||
| That's what Americans... I think that's what Americans want. | ||
| That's what I want. | ||
| I want to have like... No, you want an electric vehicle. | ||
| Everyone wants an electric vehicle. | ||
| I want like decent money. | ||
| I want to be able to buy a house. | ||
| Yeah, they want to be able to live comfortably and support themselves, right? | ||
| But instead... That's what you want. | ||
| You want to be able to support yourself. | ||
| But instead you're being told you want an EV and you want the government to help you pay for it because that's nice of them and it makes them feel good about themselves even though actually so much of the economic policy is Biden's issue right now, right? | ||
| He puts you in this position and is giving you these sort of terrible party favors for being like, oh but now you could have an EV and Pete Buttigieg says that's cool. | ||
| This is a terrible trade. | ||
| Of course American people are sort of depressed and demoralized by it. | ||
| And there's no market signal that any of this is working, obviously, because we look at inflation, we look at prices. | ||
| But Biden is introducing this Climate Corps, right? | ||
| These 50,000 young people to engage. | ||
| And he says, because we want to get them jobs in the climate, in the green economy. | ||
| It's like, well, if the green economy was taking off, They would go! | ||
| You wouldn't need to make them! | ||
| Exactly! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You wouldn't need to, like, make fake jobs for them. | |
| It wouldn't have to be, like, what was it, the FDR thing? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| The New Deal for Climate Jobs. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But that's what they want. | ||
| I mean, they want a New Deal for that. | ||
| They do. | ||
| That's why they call it the Green New Deal. | ||
| Do you think the youngest generation's attitude towards environmental issues has changed as they have seen this kind of pressure from the government? | ||
| Or do you think, like, a lot of Gen Z grows up still thinking we have to prioritize the environment over everything? | ||
| Because that was definitely the messaging I felt like I got in school. | ||
| That's the Greta Thunberg thing. | ||
| The only messaging I got was, like, don't have sex, don't do drugs, you'll get AIDS and die. | ||
| That's solid advice. | ||
| Dad, go to college. | ||
| That's all I got. | ||
| We're gonna have to jump to this story here. | ||
| It's Thursday, and we're absolutely doing this story. | ||
| This is from the Telegraph. | ||
| Chicken keepers must register to beat bird flu. | ||
| Contact details species and purpose required under new rules to cut disease outbreaks. | ||
| Now, of course, you know we are very big fans of chickens here at TimCast IRL, but this is in line with all these stories about the restrictions they're putting on farming across Europe, where they're basically trying to stop people from being able to grow food In this instance, the argument is because of bird flu, which somehow is all over the U.S. | ||
| and in the U.K., you have to actually register your chickens. | ||
| First comes the registries, then comes the chicken bans. | ||
| We can't allow that. | ||
| Yeah, they always want you to be on a list of some sort. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| And also, why don't you know how many chickens you have? | ||
| Like, this is none of their business. | ||
| It would be impossible if you had a legitimate farm, and I have a number of chickens, but I wouldn't even consider it a chicken, it's not a chicken farm. | ||
| Chickens come and go so damn fast if you had to register them. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You have a bad fox day or a bad hawk incident, you have no idea which ones until, what am I supposed to do, a head count every night? | ||
| You know what it'd be like? | ||
| It'd be like that book Dead Souls, did you ever read that? | ||
| So this Russian guy, he wants to be like an aristocrat. | ||
| So what he does is he goes around and he buys all the dead serfs. | ||
| Because if you have dead serfs, you still have to pay taxes on them until the end of the year. | ||
| And so everyone takes it because he buys them at half price. | ||
| It's very weird. | ||
| I love how they have just like this stock image of chickens for the article. | ||
| But someone was mentioning that in the United States they were doing something similar. | ||
| I haven't heard that. | ||
| Have you? | ||
| No, I mean, I'm not going to register my chickens. | ||
| I'm not going to allow anyone on. | ||
| I always joke about how the Department of Agriculture says there are 105,000 bureaucrats at the Department of Agriculture. | ||
| We have 20 million farms. | ||
| So in theory, each bureaucrat only has to manage 20 farms. | ||
| So I would like to meet my bureaucrat, but I would never allow him actually on the farm. | ||
| I'm not going to allow someone to come and register. | ||
| There's a couple things I have to comply with with the FDA, and I do. | ||
| I do a lot of DNA sampling of the sheep. | ||
| We pull hair samples to keep their registry intact for genetic purposes. | ||
| You know, if you're going to register it as an official breed, etc. | ||
| We don't sell them commercially for meat, so I don't have to worry about a lot of that. | ||
| What do you do with them? | ||
| I sell them to other sheep farms who need new bloodlines. | ||
| He's a sheep breeder. | ||
| I'm a sheep, yeah. | ||
| So, I mean, because you don't want, just like with chickens, right? | ||
| You have to introduce new DNA. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| That's why Roberto's King Regent, and Roberto Beaks III is the current king. | ||
| But you want to make sure that Roberto III isn't necessarily breeding his sisters and daughters. | ||
| It's good to introduce new blood. | ||
| Yeah, we've mostly broken up that bloodline, and that's why, you know, we brought in a bunch of outside girls, and now, you know, he's the current king. | ||
| His brother Scar is outside of Chicken City, so Roberto Jr., before passing, had several sons. | ||
| Roberto Beaks III, who's golden, became the new king, and his brother Scar, who has dark feathers, was shunned. | ||
| Removed. | ||
| To the outside of Chicken City, where he's in this pen with just two roosters. | ||
| He very much is very unhappy. | ||
| I'm sure he is. | ||
| And he wants to reclaim the throne, but we're not gonna let that happen. | ||
| That's why he's named Scar. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Could you imagine in Lion King, like, we have two sons, you are Mustafa, you're Scar. | ||
| That's terrible parenting. | ||
| People really rise to their names in that situation. | ||
| If you allow the chickens, though, to keep breeding, that's where you get geese from. | ||
| Geese are... That's not true. | ||
| That can't be true. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just Daniel Lai's... A goose is actually a chicken... Are you promoting this information right now on our reputable podcast? | |
| Yes. | ||
| You just don't like geese, like many people don't like geese. | ||
| I should have said pigeons, actually. | ||
| That's what they are. | ||
| I think geese are pretty funny. | ||
| They honk. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's great. | |
| Chickens are hilarious, though. | ||
| I've been saying that the cure for depression is obviously having chickens. | ||
| Animals as a general rule are good for depression. | ||
| Yeah, but chickens are hilarious. | ||
| Chickens are fun. | ||
| So, Mr. Muttonchops, for instance, is one of the roosters. | ||
| He keeps escaping, and then he gets stuck outside and he walks around like a little moron. | ||
| He doesn't know what he's doing. | ||
| And there was a fox the other day, walking around behind, we could see him in the forest, and Mr. Muttonchop's gonna die. | ||
| He's probably outside right now. | ||
| He jumps on top of this little shelter and then jumps and escapes. | ||
| Now, we respect it, because he wants the grays in the fresh grass. | ||
| But now he's totally defenseless and clueless. | ||
| And they never know how to get back, which is my favorite thing. | ||
| They know how to fly over, and then they run along the fence line back and forth for ten minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's like, you just do exactly the opposite of what you did. | |
| You just did this! | ||
| They are good for a laugh. | ||
| Imagine a human... | ||
| Is like walking through the forest and they're on a dirt path. | ||
| They enter the forest and they walk forward and then all of a sudden they loop back to where they were and they're like, wait a minute, where's the path to get out? | ||
| And they keep walking in circles. | ||
| That's basically what it's like for a rooster. | ||
| The rooster jumps out of the pen and then goes through a dimensional barrier where it can't comprehend how to get back to the other side as though the dimensions around it folded. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's so funny. | |
| Chicken sci-fi. | ||
| This, though, is disconcerting, and I do think it will probably trickle its way into America, is that they will find a pandemic for any reason to register, whether it's your livestock, your family, your guns, your whatever, and they will always use health as an excuse. | ||
| And that's why they want to declare a climate crisis as a health crisis. | ||
| Once you start talking about health, you can do it. | ||
| That's why they did racism as a health crisis, because as soon as they declared racism as a health crisis, They said, you're allowed to go out and protest and that's okay. | ||
| If you don't want to protest, you sit your ass at home. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Only the people who are holy enough to go protest are allowed out of their homes. | ||
| Well, it wasn't like one of the goals of the World Economic Forum. | ||
| They had this video where it said, in the future, you'll live in a 15 minute city. | ||
| No one will go into the wilderness anymore. | ||
| They're building the line in Saudi Arabia. | ||
| That's a creepy place. | ||
| One big strip city. | ||
| They're actually building it. | ||
| I didn't think they would do it. | ||
| I thought it was BS. | ||
| Because we've heard stuff like this before with, um... Those must be some lucrative contracts. | ||
| What was that popular movement from Zeitgeist where, the Venus Project, where that guy Jacque Fresco was like, we're going to build concentric circle cities where everything is exactly where you need it and it's closer because they're in concentric circles or something like that. | ||
| Oh yeah, look at that. | ||
| Right, so basically, this is what they're doing with the line. | ||
| They're like, you have no reason to leave. | ||
| Everything you want is right here. | ||
| Step into the pod, eat the bugs, you'll be happy. | ||
| Well, Le Corbusier tried to do that in Paris, right? | ||
| At the beginning of the century, he wanted to bulldoze most of Paris and build those cruciform 40-story buildings and everyone was going to live in them. | ||
| And luckily, I don't know who the prime minister was at the time, was like, I don't think we should bulldoze Paris. | ||
| And they actually saved the world from destroying one of the most beautiful cities imaginable. | ||
| But there's always been this idea that if we can just control the way people live and keep them here, but the problem is you have to keep them there. | ||
| Well, and then Le Corbusier did the UN, which is just like, you know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that tells you all you need to know about the UN! | |
| But there was a period of, like, 15 years ago, there were a lot of architects who were trying to build skyscrapers that would have everything in it that you could possibly need that had absolutely a zero carbon footprint, including, like, its own waste reclamation through what were called, like, living machines, which is a big botanical thing that treats waste and turns it into like, you know, the big garden kind of stuff. | ||
| And it was gonna these were big skyscrapers that were just going to have everything in them and you never have to leave the skyscraper. | ||
| And every several dozen floors or whatever, there would be like helipads in case you had to like get out for emergencies or whatever. | ||
| That's horrifying. | ||
| Pretty horrifying. | ||
| Pretty crazy. | ||
| Especially if they eventually will lock the doors. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now you can't get out. | ||
| And then you're just in there. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Have you ever seen any of those interviews done with people? | ||
| There's two towers in Alaska that are kind of remote called baggage towers and they're like self-contained cities and it's just like it's very funny to see pictures of them because it'll be like You know, nothing. | ||
| Alaska, very beautiful. | ||
| And then you have these sort of tall city towers that are there. | ||
| Well, in Alaska, there are buildings where you don't have to ever leave. | ||
| That's what I'm talking about. | ||
| So this one's called Vegas Towers. | ||
| Is that the one near the military base? | ||
| I think it's a former military base. | ||
| And it's named after a congressman that went missing in Alaska. | ||
| Very interesting. | ||
| But I was watching a documentary on it the other day. | ||
| They were asking some of the high schoolers who lived there, like, with their families, like, do you like it here? | ||
| What it's like? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're like, yeah, it's okay. | |
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| But they also talk about how they would never date any of the other high schoolers because it's like dating your sibling, right? | ||
| Like, if you create this really closed and circle world, on some ways, like, maybe that is nice. | ||
| You don't have to go very far to pick stuff up. | ||
| But Libby and I talk about, you know, one of the hard things living in more rural areas is, like, you have to drive to the store. | ||
| On the other hand, like, imagine how claustrophobic and sort of I feel like you could strike a balance, you know? | ||
| No, I think mobility is part of the human spirit, right? | ||
| Like as soon as someone says, like, now you don't have to leave, that makes you want to | ||
| be like, but why? | ||
| Why don't I have to leave? | ||
| And what else is out there? | ||
| I think if you were to create these contained cities, you would either create a population | ||
| that is really sort of docile and cold, which of course, maybe some people want, or you | ||
| create this other sort of more riotous human spirit that is like, I will not be contained. | ||
| And in some ways that becomes incompatible with cooperation. | ||
| I would, I would guess. | ||
| You are 100% right, and I think it's part of the human spirit, mobility without a doubt, and the car is emblematic of it in America, and it's part of our DNA, and it's why we rail so much as an organization about EVs. | ||
| Because they are not the same as a car, right? | ||
| They're limited distance, they're limited their requirement for charging, their ability to be shut down remotely. | ||
| The car is so much part of our rock and roll and our literature. | ||
| We are a car culture. | ||
| We're the highway culture. | ||
| People go to Europe and they're like, it's so cool. | ||
| They have these little trains and you take the train from Florence to Rome. | ||
| But that's why Europe is Europe, and we're not. | ||
| We are a car culture, and we like our cars. | ||
| Going back to the earlier conversation of why is the Democrat Party losing young men, even if you're the most liberally educated young man, there's something intrinsic in your DNA about liking a car, you know? | ||
| There is. | ||
| Machines. | ||
| We're the people who built the covered wagon, right? | ||
| And we said, we're putting all of our stuff in and we're going west. | ||
| That is the original road trip, much more brutal, but you know what I'm saying? | ||
| A lot of dysentery. | ||
| A lot of dysentery. | ||
| And look, maybe that's like some people's road trips, but that energy of, I'm going to take everything I want at a moment's notice and just go. | ||
| It's part of our spirit. | ||
| That's part of the American culture that's very unique. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Can you get Oregon Trail on your phone? | ||
| Because I would totally play that game. | ||
| It's been a while. | ||
| I feel bad for kids who don't get to play Oregon Trail. | ||
| It's still alive and well. | ||
| I've seen children play it last year. | ||
| I'm just over here looking at the line and what that would be like. | ||
| Well, the question about the line, which I guess is a question for the family, for the king. | ||
| What the hell's his name? | ||
| The King. | ||
| Bin Salman? | ||
| Yeah, Mohamed Bin Salman. | ||
| How do you get people to live there? | ||
| Is it voluntary? | ||
| The line? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Are they conscripting people to go live there? | ||
| Specially selected! | ||
| Is there a prize? | ||
| There will be no shortage of people who want to live there. | ||
| It's going to be hard to live there. | ||
| It'll be hard to find. | ||
| It's going to be super expensive. | ||
| It's going to be an international city of wealthy elites. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And people are going to want to be there because it's going to be the new... The new Dubai. | ||
| Yeah, I mean... Can you drink? | ||
| It's still Saudi Arabia, right? | ||
| They advertise it with work-life balance, legacy-free urbanism. | ||
| Legacy-free urbanism. | ||
| Because it has no culture. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bourbon? | |
| That's fascinating. | ||
| It has no history, it has no culture. | ||
| That is interesting. | ||
| Does it have bourbon? | ||
| It's not giving me those answers. | ||
| I mean that's like the real thing. | ||
| It does have enhanced livability, leisure and sports, vertical living, next-gen architecture, walkable communities and environmental solutions. | ||
| The one that really gets me though is legacy-free urbanism. | ||
| I like the legacy of cities. | ||
| I like when you go to a city and you see that it's all built on top of itself for centuries and like you know the old things about it. | ||
| You know like my great-grandfather had a pizzeria in Brooklyn that he built and My grandfather and my great-grandfather built the pizza oven. | ||
| I could go check it out. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| I like legacy. | ||
| I want history in my city. | ||
| I did this walking tour in Paris. | ||
| I did this walking tour in Charleston, South Carolina. | ||
| And at one point they were like, and over here is where the pirate millionaires retired to because we had a serious pirate culture and this is how it influenced the American economy. | ||
| Next-gen architecture could never, they would not have these things. | ||
| They're trying to erase blank slate and the things, especially when it comes to Europe, America, all of these places that have very unique, ever-changing cities like that, you want to be able to point to and this is how we got here. | ||
| That's part of the legacy, that's part of what makes it unique. | ||
| And that's... now we're going back to an immigration issue and that's part of the problem with bringing in... It's always an immigration issue. | ||
| That's part of the problem with importing hundreds of thousands, tens of millions of people and dumping them in these cities because I also have New York lineage that goes back... | ||
| to the revolution and we can walk around the city and be like that used to that used to but if you just dropped here because Biden put you on a boat or on a bus and now you're you're not you're not a New Yorker you don't have a love for this city you don't have any patrimony you don't have any sense of I belong to one of the cool things about New York also is that it's the one of the only places that people can move to voluntarily and in five minutes call themselves a New Yorker I mean, like, I can't ever call myself a Virginian. | ||
| I've been here for a long time, been there for a long time, don't have the accent. | ||
| You can't call yourself a Virginian? | ||
| How long have you been here? | ||
| Because I'm not really a Virginian, right? | ||
| I'm a New Yorker. | ||
| Right. | ||
| My blood is New York City. | ||
| I would say that I'm a New Yorker as well. | ||
| Yeah, but if you just get dumped there because... You have no ties to it. | ||
| You cross the border illegal and they put you on a plane and now you're never going to have enough... It requires intentionality. | ||
| It does. | ||
| We're gonna go to Super Chats! | ||
| If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, because the members-only show will be up at 10pm, you don't wanna miss it, and if you wanna watch it, you gotta go to TimCast.com and click join us. | ||
| Let's read your Super Chats! | ||
| Clint Torres, of course, the first Super Chat saying, howdy people! | ||
| That's right, Paps McGee says, hey Tim, thanks for having Macaulay Culkin on the show yesterday. | ||
| Good thing I was home alone to watch the show. | ||
| Aha! | ||
| Juan Cazza's late cast, Ian, any tips for the feeling of regret? | ||
| Ian's got no advice right now. | ||
| Are you tonight's Ian? | ||
| You are the Ian tonight. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Got nothing. | ||
| All right, well, there you go. | ||
| Sorry, sir. | ||
| Your super chat just went into the wind. | ||
| Apologies. | ||
| Andrea Viola says, first, thanks for all you do, Tim and crew. | ||
| You are not first, unfortunately. | ||
| But thanks for the thanks. | ||
| Danny Voiles presents, says Tim, would you kindly shout out our new short, The Ballad of Rich and Champ on YouTube. | ||
| Doing our part to help rebuild culture by starting our own production studio. | ||
| Would love to help make some of your film ideas a reality too. | ||
| Did you guys see that ice cream commercial I tweeted out the other day? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| We're going to play it in the after show. | ||
| No, I'll play it before that. | ||
| We played it in the after show yesterday, I think. | ||
| It's a Halo Top commercial. | ||
| And it is one of the greatest commercials I have ever seen. | ||
| I won't spoil it for you. | ||
| Is it a new one? | ||
| No, it's pretty old, but I've never seen it before. | ||
| And Jessica, who works here, shared it in our chat. | ||
| And then I watched it and I was laughing nonstop. | ||
| It's one of the best commercials I have ever seen. | ||
| But it's a good example of the short films that I'd like to make. | ||
| We have a lot of ideas that we've talked about doing. | ||
| I think we're actually going to start working on them. | ||
| That's been the plan for the past couple of months. | ||
| There used to be great commercials regularly. | ||
| They're not anymore, but commercials used to be great. | ||
| If you haven't seen this one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I haven't. | |
| You gotta watch it. | ||
| I look forward to it. | ||
| I'll stick around for the after show. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Yeah, it's just so good. | ||
| Only if you bring a lamb. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| KatothSwiss says, good thing Biden unfroze that six billion for Iran. | ||
| Almost like this was his intention. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Eject says, for liberty and managed democracy. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| PolyPRA says, no Ian? | ||
| Yeah, where is he? | ||
| He missed workout class all, every day this week. | ||
| I thought he was in the house. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You know, I was lifting and on the verge of barfing today. | ||
| Cause I skated, I skated for two hours and skated pretty well. | ||
| Got a good, got a switch hard flip, a late 180. | ||
| Good trick. | ||
| And then went right up to lifting. | ||
| And then by the time we like, we were three quarters through, I was like, I am going to throw up. | ||
| Because just at my limit, man. | ||
| Drink water. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I drank water. | ||
| I drank a sports drink and just at my limit. | ||
| Pushing it is good. | ||
| It's worth it, though. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| True Halo says, What about the aid workers in Afghanistan who were loading water and Biden blew them up to deflect from his own failures when 13 American military members were killed? | ||
| What about collateral murder? | ||
| Man, that's like 14 years ago now. | ||
| It's so crazy to think about. | ||
| 14 years ago, Julian Assange released that video footage of the Apache helicopter blowing up all those people, including that Reuters journalist. | ||
| I don't remember that. | ||
| That was one of the big first WikiLeaks things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe not big first, but like... It was early. | ||
| Yeah, early. | ||
| I mean, WikiLeaks has probably been around for a lot longer than that, but it was in the press. | ||
| He ended up going... I think he got interviewed by Colbert or something. | ||
| Big news, crazy. | ||
| There are children who are 14 years old who were born when that aired. | ||
| There are people who are voting right now who are... They were 10 years old at the time, had no idea what was going on in politics, and are now 24 and asking questions about why this stuff is so broken. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, well, let's take you back. | |
| We're all aging and old now, so... The world is a dangerous place. | ||
| Well, and to know that whatever the history is that's written is going to be just bizarre and not actually what really happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Of anything. | ||
| It's concerning about who's going to take over the role of historian in society, you know? | ||
| I think we're going to have very, very different textbooks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| I mean, it's been interesting because, you know, people like to say history is written by the victors, and that was true for a long time, but it's been changing quite a bit. | ||
| I think someone made a good point about there's tons of Confederate perspective. | ||
| Like Civil War stuff, you could read all about the Confederate generals and what they thought. | ||
| So, certainly, not all history is written by the victors these days, but most of it is. | ||
| It's written by the disgruntled, it seems. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I ended up reading a memoir of, um, not Jefferson Davey's wife, but the, his, like, vice president guy's wife. | ||
| And it was fascinating. | ||
| I had read nothing. | ||
| I knew nothing about the Confederacy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, really? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I mean, I grew up in Boston. | ||
| Like, we're proud Yankees up there. | ||
| So, we don't know anything about that. | ||
| Dylan Binkley says, end the war means from the river to the sea. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Ask Colbert. | ||
| Is that what he meant? | ||
| Right. | ||
| AB 936 says Obamacare allows companies like BCBS to purchase plans from the government and enroll criminal aliens. | ||
| Non-profits pay premiums for thousands of aliens on dialysis. | ||
| Now dialysis clinics are everywhere. | ||
| Yeah, they're just burning the country down. | ||
| I don't know what else to tell you. | ||
| Roasting it. | ||
| Jackie says, Jill and Colbert are more of a president than Joe. | ||
| A pretty low bar, don't you think? | ||
| Alright, that was a joke I was making. | ||
| Like, Colbert probably has more authority than Joe Biden does. | ||
| Joe Biden doesn't even know what's going on. | ||
| He was asked about the Trans Day of Visibility, and he's like, I didn't do that. | ||
| It's like, yeah, I did. | ||
| You know, what if the reality is Joe Biden thinks he's president, but he's not? | ||
| And so he literally goes out and does these speeches where he thinks he's actually in charge, and they're just off doing other stuff. | ||
| I think that is what happens all the time. | ||
| Do you think Obama's really like pulling the strings like people say? | ||
| To a great degree, probably. | ||
| Probably less than most people think, but probably to a great degree. | ||
| Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it's like, hey, you know, we have a foreign policy decision, Jake Sullivan, Blinken. | ||
| Like, let's just ask President Obama. | ||
| Like, hey, we just wanted to get your thoughts. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Well, and so many of the staffers in the Biden White House are hangovers from the Obama administration. | ||
| Especially if you watch, like, when they step down, I'm like, oh, well, they first served under Obama. | ||
| It's like a continuation of the Obama era, for sure. | ||
| The last campaign says my grandpa was telling me about how in Revelations, the entire world will turn on Israel. | ||
| That seems to be what's happening. | ||
| He is a preacher and never preached about the end times until now. | ||
| Is it the end of days? | ||
| I'm tired. | ||
| I think you should have a picture on and ask him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So tired. | |
| No, an eschatologist. | ||
| That's what it's called, right? | ||
| Eschatology is the theology of the end of the world. | ||
| Oh, we gotta get someone for that. | ||
| I mean, we got the eclipse on Monday, and what are we doing tomorrow on culture where we're talking about Steven Crowder's divorce? | ||
| If the locusts show up next week, just... They are! | ||
| The cicadas! | ||
| You didn't know that? | ||
| Is it cicadas season? | ||
| It is the dual emergence phenomenon, they say. | ||
| That only happens once every 200 years. | ||
| Oh, good lord, that's it. | ||
| The dual emergence cicadas, but in Illinois, I guess. | ||
| Make your peace with your god and... Cicadas! | ||
| Those things are so gross. | ||
| When we had the cicadas a couple years ago here, the chickens... | ||
| The chickens who are alive for it probably speak to the other chickens of the great legends. | ||
| They gather them at night, tell stories. | ||
| And they're like, when we were young, the bugs were as big as your head. | ||
| Back in my day. | ||
| And then they were like, shut up, grandpa. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| Bugs aren't that big. | ||
| We would go, we'd get gloves and jars, and we would just shovel cicadas into the jars and then chuck them. | ||
| We didn't have to buy chicken food. | ||
| No. | ||
| It was nuts. | ||
| I wonder if I could dry them. | ||
| That's a good idea. | ||
| Are we getting cicadas? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, darn. | ||
| I was gonna say... I mean, they're always around a little bit. | ||
| You'll see one or two here and there. | ||
| You can hear them a little bit, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, but we had the crazy emergence, what was it, two, three years ago or something? | ||
| Was it three years ago at this point? | ||
| Yeah, pretty sure it was three years ago. | ||
| Well, that is surprising. | ||
| I remember that very, very vividly because they were so loud and I thought it was like last year. | ||
| No, maybe it was two years ago. | ||
| No, you can Google it. | ||
| But they were just nuts. | ||
| They were flying around and we had the bug blaster. | ||
| It sprays salt. | ||
| Oh, I have one of those. | ||
| And we would blast them out of the sky and then feed them to the chickens. | ||
| We were just going hunting. | ||
| So they were seasoned as well when you gave them to the chickens. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I think only... Lots of you! | ||
| Yeah, you'd blast them and they'd go... That was crazy. | ||
| I think you're supposed to grind them up and eat them. | ||
| No, only for the chicken. | ||
| Apparently it tastes like shrimp. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ew. | |
| I didn't eat one. | ||
| That's a no from me, dog. | ||
| Someone here ate one. | ||
| Was it Richie McGinnis? | ||
| If I'm wrong on this, Richie's like, what? | ||
| I didn't eat a cicada. | ||
| I think it might've been Richie McGinnis. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Someone ate a cicada. | ||
| One day we'll have to by force. | ||
| Because that will be the only food left after they've taken our chickens. | ||
| There was a restaurant in DC that was serving fried cicadas. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then the health department was like, you cannot pull bugs off the ground and serve them to people. | ||
| They're like, this is the New World Order, though. | ||
| You hate us. | ||
| Yeah, it's crazy because the news was like, look at this. | ||
| How cool. | ||
| They're serving cicadas. | ||
| And it was like cicada tacos. | ||
| And the hipsters were like, look at me. | ||
| I'm eating it. | ||
| And the health department comes in. | ||
| They were like, sir, you can't take bugs off the ground and fry them and feed them to people. | ||
| It's like rat tacos. | ||
| They're all locally sourced. | ||
| Well, you can do that in New York now. | ||
| Haven't you seen the people with the spits outside in New York City on the sidewalks? | ||
| That video was fake, though, where the lady was spitting the rats. | ||
| But for how much longer is it fake? | ||
| Do you know what's funny? | ||
| So there was a rat problem in Brooklyn, and so they brought in possums to deal with the rats. | ||
| Now there's a possum problem? | ||
| Now there's a possum problem! | ||
| I remember sitting in my apartment, and my son was like, Bob, look! | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| And there were possums running across the electric wires, fighting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| So now get bobcats to get rid of opossums. | ||
| That will work. | ||
| And then you bring in gorillas to get rid of bobcats. | ||
| And then the best part is, when winter comes, the gorillas simply freeze to death. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They're just on the street. | ||
| And then the rats will eat the carcasses and you start all over again. | ||
| Oh, I love nature! | ||
| There's a garbage man strike. | ||
| They're like, we're not picking up frozen gorillas. | ||
| It's funny how often humans try this and it doesn't work. | ||
| Because they did in Australia with the cane toads. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Not smart. | ||
| What animal did they bring in for the carry off? | ||
| They're like, hey, we have too many of this animal. | ||
| Let's bring in another animal. | ||
| Then they have too many of that animal. | ||
| My favorite story is when that town in India or whatever it was, they had a snake problem. | ||
| So the government offered money to anyone who brought the heads of a snake in. | ||
| So the people just started breeding snakes because the government was buying them. | ||
| Disavow. | ||
| Terrible idea. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| The cane toads came in to help with the beetle problem for the sugar cane industry. | ||
| And now they're an extremely, yes, they're an invasive species. | ||
| They've done very well. | ||
| According to the internet. | ||
| Cane toads. | ||
| Those toads. | ||
| So the, uh, the toad eggs. | ||
| I got some clarifications, because Michael Maus was on the show, and Michael, he said, he was very wrong about toads. | ||
| He said that toads live on land, and not in water, and he called the tadpoles toadlets, and so I was just like, oh, okay, you know, whatever. | ||
| We have tadpoles from the toads in our pond. | ||
| Toads live in land and water. | ||
| I thought they were amphibious. | ||
| They're amphibious. | ||
| They live on land and water. | ||
| They're not just on land, and they don't give birth to toadlets. | ||
| They lay eggs, which become tadpoles, and the tadpoles then grow legs and then hop out of the water and mill about, but then they go in the water and they lay eggs. | ||
| And the toads that we have very much live in the water. | ||
| Of course, because they're amphibious. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That was never in question. | ||
| Well, when we were on the show, Michael was arguing with me that toads live on land. | ||
| And I was like... Was he faking it? | ||
| We have four toads living in the water. | ||
| I do like the term toadlets, I will say. | ||
| That sounds kind of cute. | ||
| I think there's one species of frog where it births them out of its back or something. | ||
| That is disgusting. | ||
| Yeah, the ones we have are American toads. | ||
| They laid a bunch of eggs. | ||
| The eggs, they're little black balls in a jelly tube. | ||
| It's literally a jelly, it's like a weird jelly tube. | ||
| And what happens is they're starting to become longer and longer. | ||
| So the little balls have started to divide and they're turning into ovals. | ||
| And then that's the tadpole and then it breaks out and swims around and eats algae. | ||
| And the toads are living in the water. | ||
| In fact, they're underwater all day. | ||
| They almost never come up. | ||
| They just, they live there. | ||
| They'll, like, peek their head out and then scream. | ||
| It is insane how loud they are. | ||
| No joke. | ||
| I'm impressed. | ||
| This little guy, this big, and you can hear it on the other side of the house, or you can hear it in the basement. | ||
|

|
We're like, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr They don't shut up. | |
| Really? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And then when they all play together right now, they're all very vocal. | ||
| They're all about... Well, I mean, some are born... I'll pull lambs tonight. | ||
| You said it's lamb season, right? | ||
| It's lamb season. | ||
| The oldest ones are about two weeks old, but we still have a bunch more, and yeah, they're very loud. | ||
| And their moms are hungry, so the moms go out to eat, and they kind of lose their kids, and then the kids can't find them, and all the moms look the same. | ||
| And the kids all panic. | ||
| So I spend every now and then picking up a lamb and bringing it back to its mom. | ||
| Let's get some more Super Chats. | ||
| James Jarvis says, Thank you, Tim. | ||
| I now have 22 chickens, 2 goats, 12 turkeys, and a garden thanks to listening to you. | ||
| The food costs and shortages will get worse. | ||
| And the best thing about having 22 chickens is that soon you'll have 50. | ||
| Yeah, and register them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| See, the great thing about chickens is that they make more of themselves. | ||
| Just, the silkies, we have, uh, they just keep having babies. | ||
| The funny thing is a couple of the chickens have been hiding their eggs. | ||
| They, like, going up into the rafters and laying their eggs up there, where it's like really difficult to get to. | ||
| I didn't know you had silkies. | ||
| Yeah, we have silkies. | ||
| Oh, silkies are beautiful. | ||
| Yeah, we have like a naked neck silky, too. | ||
| And, uh, silkies love having babies. | ||
| Why do they hide their eggs just so you can't get to them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| They want to lay eggs somewhere. | ||
| Because they're tricky? | ||
| Yeah, they're not brooding on them. | ||
| So, like, the regular, like, the miscellaneous backyard chickens, they'll, like, brood for a little bit and then give up. | ||
| And just, like, leave their eggs half incubated and then they'll just, we gotta throw them away. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The silkies, they don't get up. | ||
| They're committed? | ||
| Yeah, so what you do is, you take the eggs from other chickens when a silkie is brooding, and you put them under the silkie. | ||
| And she'll take them, it's great. | ||
| Yeah, and then another funny trick you can do is, if a chicken is brooding and you want it to stop, and you have eggs incubating, you can actually, or you can do this, you can go to a store and buy a baby chick, Stick it under the brooding chicken and take the eggs out, and then when the mama hen hears the peeping, it'll get up and go, I'm done! | ||
| And then it'll raise the baby. | ||
| Could you imagine, like, aliens doing it to humans? | ||
| Or just, like, pregnant women. | ||
| You're like, here, have a toddler. | ||
| And she's like, no more pregnancy. | ||
| Guess I'll just live with this big stomach for a while. | ||
| Yeah, so that's what they actually say you could do is if you have like a new flock and the chicken's brooding on like one or two eggs, just buy some chickens from like tractor supply, stick them onto the chicken, and then she'll raise them. | ||
| And so it makes it easier. | ||
| You know, we're dealing with sheep, which is kind of cute as just like human women, sheep women only have two nipples. | ||
| So if they have triplets, it's a problem because there are three babies, two nipples. | ||
| So if you have one who has a triplet and one who has one, If they're born around the same time, you can take one baby, kind of rub it in the afterbirth of the other mom, and put it there, and the mom will, and she'll be like, oh man, I had twins! | ||
| And she'll just totally embrace it, and then we call it grafting, and then now, twins, and it's a lot easier. | ||
| And it's really funny, because the mom was like, I didn't think I had two, but I clearly did! | ||
| It's very, very cute. | ||
| You could just do what they did at the Simpsons, and the extra baby comes right out of the mother, onto a conveyor belt, into a meat grinder. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, gosh. | |
| That's worse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's worse. | ||
| It's much less cute, I will say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, all right. | |
| The Big Guy says, shout out to Charlestown Plumbing, Martinsburg Journal, and Tri-State, best of best 2024, for your night and weekend plumbing needs at Freedomistan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, hey, shout out. | |
| Night and weekend. | ||
| That's so cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Are you guys excited for November? | ||
| I'm really excited- I'm really looking forward to it. | ||
| November? | ||
| since early November. Americans don't comprehend the damage and peril of wokeism. | ||
| Rachel Levine, Sam Brinton, etc. is a disaster. | ||
| She, Putin, the Ayatollah, etc. smell blood in the water, so the world has crumbled. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Are you guys excited for November? I'm really excited. I'm really looking forward to it. | ||
| November? You mean October. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the election is in November. | |
| That's what I'm talking about. | ||
| But that doesn't matter. | ||
| What matters is the month right before, excuse me, when we get the October surprise. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I just mean that, like, when the election is over, even though stuff happens before, when we declare the election over in November, hopefully that will send a better signal to the rest of the world. | ||
| Well, the thing is with 2020, you know, I had said something like, if Trump doesn't win, these people are going to go down in November and they're going to, like, go nuts and storm the White House or something. | ||
| And then it actually, they went to the Capitol on January 6th. | ||
| So, who knows? | ||
| It might be June of 2025. | ||
| You know, Biden wins and then his heart explodes from his chest and he collapses on stage and then there's disarray and no one knows what's going on and Kamala Harris goes, oh jeez, and then- We have to graft him to another lamb. | ||
| It's like a whole thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Delamar says, Tim, you greatly underestimate the firepower of the U.S. | ||
| military. | ||
| In actual war, two weeks we can wreck Iran without using nukes. | ||
| Don't let the budget-hungry DoD fool you with their we-are-not-strong-enough stitch. | ||
| Sir, I disagree with you. | ||
| My point was, if the U.S. | ||
| were to make a military move on Iran, it would instantly trigger war with many other countries, and it would destroy a bunch of trade lines. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| would not be able to maintain a war against Iran. | ||
| This is why they're paralyzed. | ||
| They surrounded Iran and then they're like, now what? | ||
| What are you gonna do? | ||
| Just leave me alone says World War 3 equals no election. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| What do we do with all that paper? | ||
| Brute Dude says, first time super chat, wife and I have been struggling with fertility for years. | ||
| I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. | ||
| Our doctor said that when he started in 06, he would have one appointment a day. | ||
| Today he has lines down the street. Huge problem for millennials. | ||
| Probably because they're all in their 30s. | ||
| I think if it was a bunch of like 20 year olds, they're gonna be like, we got too many kids already! | ||
| But you get a bunch of 30-year-olds and they're like, we're having issues. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's 30s and also, you know, all kinds of endocrine disruptors that we naturally mix into society. | ||
| Microplastics. | ||
| That's why glass bottles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Glass. | |
| Those are- see, you know what I just learned? | ||
| We have these reusable glass bottles, and our guests- our guests have been throwing them in the garbage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| What? | ||
| I always leave them on the table. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Me too. | ||
| Yeah, because, uh, well look, this is a glass bottle, right? | ||
| This is Saratoga Still glass bottle. | ||
| Yeah, there's tons of glass bottles. | ||
| You throw them away and you're done. | ||
| You throw a glass bottle in the garbage. | ||
| So we bought these nice reusable glass bottles for our filtered water, and some of the guests who don't know just assume it's stock water from the grocery store in a water bottle, and they drink it and throw in the garbage. | ||
| And then when the garbage gets taken out, our bottles are all gone. | ||
| And then one day I'm like, where's our water? | ||
| And they're like, oh, the bottles all got thrown away. | ||
| So did you have to get new ones? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And so that's when they came back. | ||
| And now we have the bottles again. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So we have to like put stickers on them saying, this is a reusable bottle. | ||
| Do not throw it away. | ||
| Notice by the very nice bottle cap on it, which seals it. | ||
| You can make it light and like a don't step on snack. | ||
| You can make a little don't throw in trash. | ||
| They'll still throw it away. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's like, you know, you, you buy a jar of jam or whatever the grocery store, you don't have to throw in the garbage. | ||
| It's a nice glass jar with a lid. | ||
| My mom hasn't thrown one away since 1965. | ||
| There you go! | ||
| You've got a great collection, I imagine. | ||
| Well, you could use them! | ||
| You have to save all of them! | ||
| Alright, Rob Gratt says, Tim, I'm super familiar with eschatology and biblical prophecy. | ||
| I'd love to come and talk. | ||
| Tell me how to contact. | ||
| I'm in Pittsburgh. | ||
| I'll drive down tomorrow. | ||
| So, I mean, we're all booked up, so we definitely couldn't do it tomorrow. | ||
| We have people coming in to talk about divorce law. | ||
| So, tomorrow we're going to be discussing... It's not so much just to talk about Crowder. | ||
| But the Crowder issue has sparked this debate over divorce and responsibility, so we're going to be talking a lot about that. | ||
| That being said, I have no idea. | ||
| Like, trying to connect people through the show to our booking and everything, it's like, impossible. | ||
| That's why I'm always just like, send a message to Ian, because Ian seems to have some kind of ability to talk to people that I don't, and it works out. | ||
| So, Ian's your guy. | ||
| He's on Twitter, and if you tweet at him, it works. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| Alright, what else do we have? | ||
| Garhent says cicadas are high in mercury and you fed them to your chickens. | ||
| It's possibly why they died early. | ||
| Incorrect! | ||
| Uh, the original flock actually are, I think, uh, I think they're mostly alive. | ||
| Roberto, Margaret, Sarah, Carol. | ||
| The only, the only chicken who died was, um, Katarina. | ||
| That was Roberto Jr.' 's mom. | ||
| And she had a tumor on one of her chicken ovaries or something. | ||
| And, uh, then she died. | ||
| I think, uh, Yeah, I'm pretty sure it may be, like, only two of the originals have died. | ||
| Roberto Jr., we know what was wrong with Roberto Jr. | ||
| It was the first Ags out of the batch, and he was, he had, he had issues that, like, when he first started crowing, he would pass out and collapse, and we were like, uh-oh. | ||
| So he had a heart attack. | ||
| He died. | ||
| He was, he was, you know, not a well rooster to begin with. | ||
| Yeah, did you know he had a heart attack? | ||
| I did. | ||
| I saw the goodbye message. | ||
| Yeah, Bro Jr. | ||
| died suddenly. | ||
| Yeah, very sad. | ||
| He had a billboard. | ||
| He did, he did. | ||
| His son is now in charge. | ||
| He's probably the only chicken in history to have a Times Square billboard, right? | ||
| Yeah, Margaret, who we called at the time the Captain because she was the biggest, but now she's small. | ||
| She's not really laying eggs anymore because she's like on year three, I think. | ||
| And she is. | ||
| She is spry. | ||
| She runs around. | ||
| She's the boss. | ||
| She takes the food from everybody. | ||
| So we gave all the cicadas to the chickens. | ||
| They seem to be fine. | ||
| And now we have too many. | ||
| Too many. | ||
| All right. | ||
