you you | |
| welcome to the new studio Everything looks so much better. | ||
| The cameras here at TimCastIRL no longer make you look like a bloated zombie, and so the lighting has improved. | ||
| But it's our first night at the new studio, so there's a little bit of an echo, and we're working on configuring the lighting to get perfectly. | ||
| But so far, everything's looking pretty good, and it's going to be a great show. | ||
| We got big news. | ||
| Over the past week and weekend, protests have erupted at Ivy Leagues in Yale, MIT, now Columbia. | ||
| Columbia shut down classes, went remote, and now their faculty have staged a walkout in support of pro-Hamas protesters. | ||
| And I'm going to pause right there, because I know a lot of people who are critical of Israel are going to say, no, Tim, you can't say that they're critical of Israel. | ||
| Yo, many of these people have been chanting that they're Hamas. | ||
| There's a video of one person screaming, we are Hamas. | ||
| There's a handful of people chanting, long live Hamas. | ||
| The people there are outright defending Hamas. | ||
| I'm not trying to be cute. | ||
| And I understand. | ||
| There's a lot of legitimate grievances with Israeli military action. | ||
| And I think you are allowed to criticize Israel based on their military actions. | ||
| But there is this conflation happening where many prominent students are standing up and outright cheering for Hamas. | ||
| And you add on top of that, These videos out of Yale where a student tried walking through the campus and was barred simply for looking Jewish, and the response I hear from many people, even friends, is that, well, they looked like they were doing something shady. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| There's a guy who looks Jewish and he walks up and they immediately form a line. | ||
| There's another guy who's wearing a Star of David and they immediately say, this person is disrupting our community, our community guidelines or something. | ||
| It's getting wild out there. | ||
| And I think this will be extremely detrimental to Joe Biden in the election, but who knows? | ||
| The other big news is that the opening statements of the Trump trial kicked off. | ||
| And this one's great. | ||
| It's an election interference trial. | ||
| That's what they're saying. | ||
| They're saying Trump interfered in the election. | ||
| I suppose that's the underlying crime. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| Plus, the Biden administration's EEOC is suing Sheetz, the gas station. | ||
| Get this, he's calling them racist because they don't hire criminals. | ||
| I'm not exaggerating. | ||
| That's Joe Biden for you, I guess. | ||
| It's his EOC. | ||
| And then Kevin Newsom posted this commercial where a woman gets pulled over for trying to leave the state while pregnant and a cop tells her to take a pregnancy test. | ||
| So we'll talk about all that stuff. | ||
| Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It's really good coffee. | ||
| We got Appalachian Nights, of course, everybody's favorite. | ||
| Rise with Roberto Jr. is of course number two, but I really do recommend Stand Your Ground, | ||
| it's a medium roast. | ||
| Castbrew is our coffee company, we sponsor ourselves, and our goal with Castbrew is to build physical locations | ||
| across this country, to create a place where people can network in person. | ||
| And I wanna put up TVs in all of our coffee shops that play shows like ours, like Sticks, Hex, and Hammer, | ||
| like Viva Fry, shows that you like or that are counter to the establishment narrative | ||
| so that regular people driving by for a cup of coffee can be exposed to the truth. | ||
| We got a location in Martinsburg, West Virginia, where we're launching our monthly members-only private in-person shows. | ||
| So aside from Casper.com, head over to TimCast.com and click join us. | ||
| Become a member and you'll get access to our members-only uncensored show, which is coming up tonight at 10 p.m. | ||
| You don't want to miss it. | ||

| Joining us tonight to talk about this and a lot more is Scott Pressler. | ||
| Hey guys, thanks for having me back. | ||
| I am thrilled and honored to have the first time in the studio. | ||
| This is pretty gosh darn cool. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| Well, I'm a conservative activist and I'm here for one reason and one reason alone, and that is to defeat Joe Biden and to elect President Donald Trump on Tuesday, November 5th, 2024. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| You are the foremost election registrar We talk about you all the time. | ||
| We tell people all the time, you got to get your friends and family registered to vote. | ||
| This is the path we have to take. | ||
| And I think you've probably been responsible for more new registrants than like any other person ever, perhaps? | ||
| Possibly. | ||
| I mean, thank you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I want to reveal something exclusive tonight on this show that I actually am going to be closing on a home and I am so dedicated and serious to this cause that I am Buying a home in Pennsylvania just so my vote can help elect Donald Trump and we can flip that state from blue to red this November. | ||
| But yeah, I mean, I need everybody to register to vote. | ||
| The Democrats even sent out a memo, Tim, saying that they need to stop blindly registering new voters because they know that new voters that are unregistered are lean Trump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, so much for democracy. | ||
| So much for being democratic if they want to stop voter registration. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| There we go. | ||
| Well, thanks for hanging out. | ||
| Should be fun. | ||
| ShimCast has returned! | ||
| Welcome back to your favorite co-host, right? | ||
| No? | ||
| You're fine. | ||
| No, you're not. | ||
| All right, well, Tim begged me to come back out here. | ||
| I'm really excited, man. | ||
| This studio is beautiful. | ||
| You guys did an awesome job putting this together. | ||
| This has been two or three years coming. | ||
| It's like two years of construction and everything, and we're finally sitting here. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| I remember in 2021, you being like, in March, it's going to be ready. | ||
| I know. | ||
| This kept getting pushed and pushed and pushed, but it was so worth it. | ||
| This place is amazing. | ||
| And then some dude broke his femur right behind us. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| As soon as it opened. | ||
| It's been christened in blood. | ||
| Yeah, the first, like, opening day. | ||
| Tim said, break a leg, and he... We had the drop-in contest for the Death Drop, it's called, and this dude went for it, and he broke his femur. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| But he's hanging out, and we're hooking him up, so we're gonna do an interview with him tomorrow for the Boonies. | ||
| Yeah, well... But this has been, this is fun. | ||
| Welcome back, Seamus. | ||
| By the way, for those who don't know me, it's been a while since I've been here. | ||
| I'm a recurring co-host. | ||
| I make cartoons. | ||
| I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes. | ||
| So if you guys are interested, go check that out. | ||
| Subscribe. | ||
| We just released a really funny cartoon where Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens are on the whatever podcast debating whether Israel or Palestine has a higher body count. | ||
| I think you'll love it. | ||
| I think you'll enjoy it. | ||
| It was really sad because when I was leaving the castle today, As I was leaving the building, I was like one of the last people out. | ||
| There's still people there and they're grabbing stuff, but I'm like running out the door. | ||
| And as I got to the driveway to get my car, there was a single spoon laying in the driveway. | ||
| What are you suggesting? | ||
| And I was just like, oh man, it's the end of an era. | ||
| Hannah Clear is hanging out. | ||
| Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire Brummel. | ||
| I'm a writer for SCNR, Scanner News. | ||
| You should check out all of our works. | ||
| One of our staff members just messaged, these cameras really do justice for Scott's hair. | ||
| And I think that's one of the best takes on the new studio. | ||
| But yeah, I'm happy to be back. | ||
| And Serge is here. | ||
| I guess you made all this happen. | ||
| Yes, I am indeed here. | ||
| Hello, everybody. | ||
| Enjoy the new studio. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Here's the big story. | ||
| Columbia faculty stage walkout in support of student Gaza camp on campus. | ||
| Ilhan Omar backed the professors and said, this is about the genocide in Gaza and the attention has to remain on that. | ||
| OK, this story is just massively big. | ||
| There's so many moving parts to this. | ||
| There's The students who are chanting pro-Hamas stuff. | ||
| There's the professor who was denied entry. | ||
| We're gonna have to break this up into a bunch of different bits, but let's start with the core of this for those that haven't seen the context. | ||
| This has been dominating the news for the past week with escalation as MIT, Yale, and now Columbia have these massive protests emerging which are, at essence, anti-Israel, but have now come to umbrella A lot of, you know, look, there's like Jewish people that are being harassed and yelled at for simply being Jewish, but I want to clarify that it's because they're conflating Jewish with Zionist. | ||
| So in one instance, a guy shows up with a Star of David and they're like Zionists. | ||
| And then here we go. | ||
| And it's, it's, it's just getting weird. | ||
| I don't know where to begin with this. | ||
| There's so much going on. | ||
| I just gotta be honest, I think the most hilarious possible way to, like, protest against Israel and in favor of Palestine is to occupy land that belongs to somebody else, and then you say you have the moral authority to do so, so you can't get kicked off. | ||
| I can respect that, I guess. | ||
| There was a funny video where one of the Jewish guys It's like he's wearing a jacket, and he's got a hat on, and he's like, we're just trying to walk through, and they're like, we were here first! | ||
| That one's kind of funny. | ||
| That's kind of the point of the protest, I guess. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, even more so, it's like, oh my gosh, the leopards ate my face, you know? | ||
| Why are people not understanding, you know, the Jewish community has so often voted Democrat, and then you have President Obama, you have President Biden, literally give pallets of money over to Iran. | ||
| And we know that Iran is funding Hamas, who is doing these attacks, and now we have it here in America. | ||
| And it's like, why are people so surprised that we're seeing this now going on? | ||
| And I just, I hope that the Jewish community is going to understand that if they want any pathway forward, they need to come home to the Republican Party. | ||
| It's interesting because I really think this conflict has made left-leaning voters very aware that the younger generations do not believe the same things that they do. | ||
| They wear the same letters, they're all voting Democrat, but they have completely different positions on this issue. | ||
| I mean, the owner of the New England Patriots just announced today that he's going to pull any funding that he gives to Columbia, which is where he went to school, because he's like, this doesn't represent anything I support. | ||
| They are falling apart because they are actually a very broken party. | ||
| I tweeted this out, and a lot of very pro-Israel people got mad, but it's true. | ||
| I think support for Israel and this country is done. | ||
| And the only thing holding it together right now is the older generation. | ||
| In the younger generation, you have America-first nationalists, which comprise a lot of Trump's base. | ||
| Not all of it, but a lot of it. | ||
| Oh, they like Israel. | ||
| They think Israel has a right to exist and defend itself. | ||
| We just shouldn't be paying for it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which means they're continually going to deny aid packages for military funding. | ||
| And then you have on the left the AOC, Ilhan Omar types who are, yeah, we ain't giving Israel any money because they just plain don't like Israel. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Give it 20 years and the support for Israel evaporates. | ||
| And what's going to start happening is Already, right now, you're seeing, with these aid packages for Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel, huge pushback. | ||
| Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it, but with what's happening on college campuses, Democrats would have to lose massively in order for support for Israel to remain. | ||
| I don't know where you go from there though. | ||
| With deep state support for Democratic politicians, the only thing that's going to happen is more and more of the base is going to be anti-Israel, and they're not going to get elected. | ||
| So what, is the deep state going to switch to supporting Republicans now? | ||
| Well, it's interesting. | ||
| You mentioned something that I think is really important and instructive here, which is the fact that there are many Americans who don't necessarily think that Israel shouldn't exist, but who do not want American resources to go towards fighting this nation's war for it. | ||
| And when Israel comes up in the American media, it's virtually always about some kind of conflict. | ||
| And so much of the media wants to encourage American support for it, though, again, it depends on the publication. | ||
| etc. | ||
| I think you're mostly right. | ||
| If support for Israel means support for the IDF and what Israel's military is doing, or I should even say more broadly, the United States having to support and fund that, then yes. | ||
| I would say most young people don't support Israel. | ||
| You're not going to see much support for it recover in the future here. | ||
| And you can, and I've said this on the show before, You can say there's great people in Israel, etc., but criticizing the same way that you criticize America. | ||
| Like, I love America. | ||
| I also don't cosign every single thing America does militarily. | ||
| And I think that a lot of young people, they don't even necessarily have a strong opinion one way or another on Israel. | ||
| They wouldn't say they like it. | ||
| They wouldn't say they dislike it. | ||
| They would just say, we don't really need to be involved. | ||
| Right, and I think especially on the heels of passing, what, $17 billion in aid for Israel over the weekend, I mean, this is going to spark a lot of irritation among young people who feel the strains of the economy. | ||
| But I also think it's interesting, I don't know if you guys are following this, but there were a lot of layoffs at Google's last week because there were in-office protests where some people were arrested, taken out because they were occupying an executive's office because they're against Project Nimbus, which is this deal that Right, right. | ||
| Amazon and Google are involved in this, and they're supporting Israel's military through cloud technology, or allowing them to use cloud technology for some of their operations. | ||
| And you have these young people who have grown up being told, you are political, you're left-leaning, and also you should be active. | ||
| You should stage protests, you should be disruptive. | ||
| And now these You know, these chickens are coming home to roost, so to speak, because they are acting out in a way that they believe to be morally right. | ||
| They are against some of these things. | ||
| But all of the companies that have benefited from the progressive ideology their workers have been taught are now like, wait a minute, but you can't do that here. | ||
| Like, that was their CEO's message afterwards. | ||
| Like, not in the workplace. | ||
| So the big story for us last week was that our two biggest episodes ever got deleted from YouTube. | ||
| Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Michael Malice, Blair White, Drew Hernandez, me, Luke, Ian. | ||
| It was massive. | ||
| And then Michael Malice and Alex Jones both deleted at the same time. | ||
| Luke Rutkowski of We Are Change just tweeted out one of his videos from 2012 just got taken down. | ||
| And I'm like, something happened at Google where they flipped a switch and they have a switch that says, like, election interference on off. | ||
| But you look at what happened with this Google employee thing over Israel. | ||
| Employees occupied their own boss's office and got arrested. | ||
| They fired 28 of them, right? | ||
| It was 28? | ||
| It was 28 in total. | ||
| I can't remember how many got arrested, sorry. | ||
| You were very quiet and I was like, I must be wrong. | ||
| I'll pull the number to be exact, but it was massive and it was in two different offices, which means it was a coordinated effort from different people. | ||
| And the group behind it was this group called No Technology for Apartheid, I believe. | ||
| Again, I should pull my article, which is on Scanner News. | ||
| You guys can read it there. | ||
| But again, this is like a form of activism that young people feel as though it is their responsibility to carry out, which I find interesting because, again, I think this is showing Democrats that the young people they cultivated and raised don't believe the things they thought they did. | ||
| Man, it's crazy. | ||
| But that point is, yes, the employees at Google are probably interfering with shows like this. | ||
| The thing about the protests on Columbia, there's this video where a woman claims, and to be fair, it's a woman claiming this, so fine, I'll take it with a grain of salt, but she says, her and another guy walked onto, I think it was Yale or Columbia, I'm not sure, which it might have been Columbia, and the guy was wearing a Star of David, so one of the activists said, hey everyone, there are Zionists here, can we mic check, we're gonna form a line, and it's the creepiest thing ever. | ||
| Actually, I should, I'll find the video and I'll pull it up in a second. | ||
| He starts calling them all Zionists. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| People are calling me a Zionist for one reason. | ||
| Not because I support Israel. | ||
| No, my attitude is more America first. | ||
| Like, sure, they're a country. | ||
| Their war is their war. | ||
| What they do is not related to America. | ||
| It is insofar as we're giving them money. | ||
| Hey, I'm not in favor of us sending these massive military aid packages over there. | ||
| I say we stop doing this. | ||
| Still a Zionist. | ||
| Why? | ||
| To many of these activists, the word Zionist means anyone who recognizes Israel's existence. | ||
| And it has to do with the Balfour Declaration. | ||
| Their attitude, and I asked them, I'm like, why are you calling me a Zionist, dude? | ||
| And he's like, well, you think Israel's real. | ||
| And I'm like, Israel's a place, it's a country, it's got borders, it's got a government. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, no, no, no, they don't think it is. | ||
| Their belief And it's not literally every single person who's anti-Israel. | ||
| It is specifically, there's elements of the right and the left who believe Israel doesn't actually exist as a place. | ||
| And that there's the Balfour Declaration 100 whatever years ago, they decided to make this, then there was 1947, I don't know the years. | ||
| But their attitude is, it's an imaginary place that was created by Zionists and anyone who recognizes that it exists is also a Zionist. | ||
| So that makes you a Zionist. | ||
| What happens then is, a Jewish guy shows up with the Star of David, and they're like, he is also a Zionist, simply because. | ||
| The problem, as I see it, is that if you've got, let's say 99 out of 100 of the protesters are strictly anti-Israel. | ||
| And they have no problem with Jewish people. | ||
| And my understanding is there are Jewish people who are actually part of the protest too, who are anti-Zionist. | ||
| They don't like the occupation, whatever they call it. | ||
| So what ends up happening is, at Yale for instance, If there's ten percent, or even one percent, let's say there's a thousand people, so you have ten people who just hate Jews, if a Jewish guy shows up and someone yells Zionist, the rest of the protesters don't care who that person is. | ||
| They're not going to stop and say, hold on there, let me ask this guy if he's actually a Zionist. | ||
| No. | ||
| As soon as the mob points you out, they attack you. | ||
| And I'll give you an example. | ||
| When I was in Germany with Luke Rutkowski back during this big Antifa protest, we actually got split up. | ||
| Luke was walking down the street with a German reporter, and Luke's, you know, anarchist, Ron Paul, like, some guy yelled, Nazi schweinhund! | ||
| Wow. | ||
| At him. | ||
| So what happened? | ||
| Dude, Luke's video was crazy. | ||
| People get off the curb and run up and start punching Luke and the other German reporter, not caring or knowing who they are. | ||
| So now that you have all these protesters who are like, Israel is bad, and many of them chanting, Long live Hamas, or a woman screamed while banging, this is like a viral video, she's screaming, We are Hamas. | ||
| If a Jewish guy walks in and one anti-Semitic guy yells, that person's a Zionist, the rest of the mob is gonna go after him. | ||
| Well, and it just shows you that history truly repeats itself from the crucible to the Salem witch trials. | ||
| But I think it's important to note, the goal of Hamas is literally the destruction of Israel. | ||
| And an angle that nobody is really talking about is there are 750,000 Americans living in Israel. | ||
| 600,000 of those people are eligible to vote. | ||
| Why are we not getting every single one of those people Get registered to vote and get them a meal and ballot. | ||
| And furthermore, this is going to sound a little crazy to some people, but look at what the Democrats do. | ||
| They resettle people from foreign countries into our country strategically. | ||
| Look at Minnesota, how they were able to take the Somali population and take over. | ||
| And that's how we have Ilhan Omar today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And her daughter, who's really helped out in Columbia. | |
| We're imported into our country. | ||
| Why are we not being smart and strategic, for example, and taking Canadian Amish and resettling them into Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania? | ||
| That's what I would do. | ||
| Dude, the left would vote for a border wall so fast if you started doing that kind of thing. | ||
| So Amish, come down. | ||
| Descend upon America. | ||
| Look, but they probably have values that are more similar, right? | ||
| Like, part of the problem with immigration is that you need people who want to participate in the system and who want to have a shared culture. | ||
| Otherwise, it doesn't work. | ||
| I mean, this is the constant problem with unfettered, it could be legal, but definitely illegal immigration into the country. | ||
| And again, Democrats know this, they don't care about keeping the system, they care about the numbers. | ||
| That's why you see the census becoming this issue. | ||
| We're not allowed to have the question, are you legally a citizen of the U.S., on our own census, because they want the numbers to play in their favor. | ||
| I want to jump to this clip from, this is the Columbia encampment. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| This is a tweet from Sahar Tartak. | ||
| She tweets, this looks like a sitcom, but it's not. | ||
| A human blockade of hundreds at Columbia approaches a small group of Jewish students while saying, one step forward, push them out of the camp in perfect unison. | ||
| This is a Columbia tent encampment. | ||
| Now, I'm going to play this video for you, and I want you to listen to the sound. | ||
| I'll skip it. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Excuse me, do you see what you guys are doing to us? | |
| We are going to slowly walk and take a step forward so that we can start to push them out of the camp. | ||
| So that we can start to push them out of the camp. | ||
| One step forward. | ||
| Another step forward. | ||
| Oh We ask that you please respect our privacy and our community guidelines, which you have so far disrespected, and leave our camp. | ||
| I want to pause real quick. | ||
| There's a few things to point out, but I do want to play more of it. | ||
| I just want to point out that that sounds like a Steven Crowder doing an impression. | ||
| That cult is crazy! | ||
| It sounds like a Steven Crowder voice. | ||
| So, it's a cult. | ||
| You can hear them all chanting in unison. | ||
| They're saying, our privacy. | ||
| This is hundreds of people in a gigantic public park, yelling at the same time in unison, our privacy, like some kind of hive mind beast. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Let me play more, you're going to hear this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One step forward. | |
| One step forward. | ||
| Have you got enough video? | ||
| Because I look very pretty. | ||
| You guys don't have to do this, you know? | ||
| You're all here because we're here. | ||
| Why are you giving us that power? | ||
| We were here before you came here. | ||
| I understand that, but you're doing what you're doing. | ||
| Repeat after me! | ||
| Repeat after me! | ||
| I'm bored! | ||
| I'm bored! | ||
| We would like you to leave! | ||
| We would like you to leave! | ||
| So why did he say, repeat after me, I'm bored. | ||
| And everyone yelled, I'm bored. | ||
| Isn't this like the creepiest thing? | ||
| It's very creepy. | ||
| There's hundreds of students. | ||
| So the precursor to this video is this dude who's leading it, this activist guy. | ||
| They're all wearing masks, by the way. | ||
| They're wearing like, you know, the medical masks. | ||
| He's like, we have Zionists. | ||
| I need help. | ||
| We have Zionists. | ||
| And then someone yells, mic check. | ||
| Mic check is when you yell and then the whole group repeats what you're saying. | ||
| They say the reason for it is that it helps amplify the sound so everyone can hear it. | ||
| That is not correct. | ||
| Because you could very easily have facilitators, they call it, do this. | ||
| Meaning, you only need one person to yell, We're gonna march. | ||
| One more person halfway down says, we're marching. | ||
| One more person down says, the march is beginning. | ||
| You don't need the entire group to do it. | ||
| The reason they have the entire group do it is that it is a typical cult building exercise. | ||
| You get people to chant what you say and imbue your intention through them. | ||
| Like, when you get someone to say the words themselves, it affects their will and their intention. | ||
| But just, you don't need me to say anything like that. | ||
| Y'all just watched the video where one guy yells, repeat after me, I'm bored, and they all do it in unison. | ||
| The creepiest thing is one guy doesn't like these people for whatever reason and says, respect our privacy and our guidelines. | ||
| None of those people have any idea what's going on. | ||
| They don't know who the people are that they're mad at. | ||
| The people they're mad at aren't even saying or doing anything. | ||
| According to the, there's a longer video, The woman says that they entered the encampment and one guy was wearing a Star of David, and that's when he started yelling at them. | ||
| Well, it's like the horror movie Slither, where literally they are on a hive mind. | ||
| But it shows you that all we have to do is very peacefully go after that person in charge, and the rest, well, they won't know what to do. | ||
| And furthermore, actually, it kind of gives me sort of hope for the future People are always like, Scott, why are you focused on voter registration? | ||
| Why are you doing what you do? | ||
| It's because it's about who plants the seed first. | ||
| That's all it is. | ||
| I think the majority of people, and I mean this respectfully, can be swayed. | ||
| They can be persuaded either for good or for bad, and I think that's what we're seeing in that video. | ||
| So we must be the seed planters and go out there and reach people first before the opposition does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, of course. | |
| I mean, people want to be part of a group, and that's actually not a bad thing. | ||
| It's a good instinct. | ||
| The issue is it's very easily hijacked. | ||
| Humans are tribal creatures, and if you have somebody who makes you feel like you're a part of something and you're actually giving yourself to something greater and contributing, what they're able to do in that instance is manipulate a very good and wholesome and normal human feeling and use it for whatever causes they might be trying to use it for, nefarious or otherwise. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think a lot of activism that we see like this is actually people saying, this is like the cool thing that's going on. | ||
| You want to be a part of this. | ||
| And especially, you know, there is a reason this type of protest is spreading through the Ivy League right now. | ||
| There is a level of, there is a culture of this is the social currency that you have, that you are posting, saying, doing the right thing. | ||
| And again, I think with this age group, like Jim's saying, they want to be a part of something. | ||
| They want to have a community. | ||
| When your community is feeding you bad information, when your community is teaching you to act in a way that is actually not for the betterment of everyone around you, it's very easy for students to fall into that trap. | ||
| Yeah, and like people speaking in unison or chanting in unison, it can be a very beautiful thing if it's for a good cause. | ||
| Obviously, I talk about it all the time. | ||
| Get your bingo cards out. | ||
| I'm Catholic. | ||
| We pray. | ||
| We chant. | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| But there's a difference between that and then just some guy who's on a politically trendy bandwagon getting everyone to follow him. | ||
| Here's the reality. | ||
| People are going to chant. | ||
| People are going to speak in unison. | ||
| People are going to want to be a part of a group. | ||
| The question is, are you going to be part of an age-old group with beautiful timeless values, or are you just going to jump on whatever bandwagon you're told to jump onto? | ||
| This is cult versus religion. | ||
| This is moral traditions. | ||
| Versus some guy telling everyone what to do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, they're the ones that did the Sokol Square hoax where they submitted those goofy leftist versions of academic papers where they like reworded Mein Kampf into feminism. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But Peter and James had been talking for a time back then about how this is a non-theistic religion. | ||
| that 100%. These are people who behave as though they're a part of some religion. They have | ||
| sinners, they have priests, they have, you know, like, forms of sin, like, right, all there. Yeah, | ||
| of course, you can be you can be an apostate, you can be you can be ostracized. But there is no | ||
| core tenet. There is no central philosophy. They end up absorbing postmodernist philosophies to | ||
| a certain degree. But it's very obvious that, you know, a lot of people define woke as like | ||
| It's not correct. | ||
| And you can see that in the hypocrisy taking shape. | ||
| I'll give you a really, really great example of this. | ||
| I love this so much. | ||
| Some, like, Red Pill dude Posted a picture of a woman who was ripped and like flexing and he said mommy muscles is propaganda to make men gay or something like that and he was like if you're attracted to muscular women it's making you gay. | ||
| What? | ||
| A community note was added and it said if you are male and attracted to a female you are not gay. | ||
| Here's where we go. | ||
| Leftists started making fun of this guy for being a red pillar. | ||
| Now hold on. | ||
| The left had previously held the idea that if you are masculine or feminine, that defines gay or straight. | ||
| Example, Lance from the Serfs on this show said, and it's one of my favorite moments, I asked him, because he said, if a guy's with a trans woman, it's straight. | ||
| And I was like, but there's two males. | ||
| And he's like, no, it's because that person is a woman. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, so if there's a really feminine guy and a really masculine guy and they're gay together, that's straight? | ||
| And he goes, yes. | ||
| And I was like, okay, so if there's a guy and he's with this big, muscular, manly woman that's gay, and he goes, yes. | ||
| And then Ian goes, yo, that's messed up. | ||
| You can't call a guy gay because his girlfriend's ugly. | ||
| And I was like, he's right though. | ||
| It's true, it was a 20. | ||
| Then Lance goes on Twitter and makes fun of the guy who said the exact same thing Lance said. | ||
| Because the left doesn't have any core tenets. | ||
| They have an amorphous, whatever the hive will do is what we think is right. | ||
| As exemplified by hundreds of people chanting in unison, When they have no idea what's going on, and the end result is Jewish students were removed, or Jewish people, I don't know if they're students, were removed from this, or blocked from it, by hundreds of other students, because one guy deemed it so. | ||
| And they all marched in lockstep. | ||
| Well, listen, there are a lot of very nice women out there who give me compliments on my hair, etc. | ||
| Ladies, you are not gay, because I am an effeminate man. | ||
| But more importantly, I am the eternal optimist, and I love your take on it, on that people want to be a part of something. | ||
| But in this case, I don't think it's for that reason. | ||
| I think, quite frankly, when you're at an institution like higher education, or even in today's society, quite frankly, it's attack Or be attacked. | ||
| I think a lot of those people are going along because they know if they dare say something, even support, you know, just saying that Israel has right to exist or whatever, then they are the enemy and then they will suffer the same consequences. | ||
| And furthermore, look no further Then COVID! | ||
| How many people went along because they didn't want to be deemed, you know, by society or written papers about or having their doctoral licenses taken away from them or lose their jobs? | ||
| Or, you know, they went along because it was easier to do so than to become the enemy. | ||
| And that's a serious problem. | ||
| That's a fair point. | ||
| That's a fair point. | ||
| I would also add, though, that I think it all goes hand-in-hand. | ||
| Wanting to be part of a group is closely linked, and in some instances the same thing is just not wanting to be ostracized. | ||
| And I think for a lot of young people that is the case. | ||
| But I agree with you. | ||
| It doesn't always come in the form of someone saying, I am volitionally deciding for myself that this is the group I'd like to be a part of. | ||
| Sometimes it's, I am afraid of how I'm going to look if I don't join with this group. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's true. | ||
| But I will add, I think for a lot of people it doesn't even go that deep because they don't need for there to be some kind of social threat to not jump on a trendy bandwagon. | ||
| They just don't have any valleys of their own that would prevent them from doing so. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think that's part of the difference between the religion and the cult, right? | ||
| Like with a religion, there is a true north. | ||
| There are values. | ||
| The cult is going to follow whatever leaders empower. | ||
| I mean, if you watch cult documentaries, there are times that they split and that they fight and they war because they are not really founded on a true belief system that you then internalize. | ||
| It's about external pressures to conform to something. | ||
| And again, I think we have to specifically analyze the fact that this is happening the most among Ivy League universities and in the Northeast. | ||
| The colleges that recruit most intensely for progressive students, that rewarded people in the applications, that identified as being pro the values that would ultimately culminate in this kind of conflict, There's a reason they were like, come to our school. | ||
| They thought this was good, again, because it was billed as being the socially acceptable, the right, the trendy, you know, conservative students are backwards, but universities where the stances are more mixed, as far as I can tell, there might be some sort of conflict, there might be some conversations about what's going on, but it's not like Columbia. | ||
| There is not this kind of mass gathering on one side of this issue. | ||
| These institutions And you hit the nail on the head by really saying that this is rewarded, this is accepted behavior. | ||
| And that's why when we see Google firing people and when we see the House, who then brings in presidents of universities where saying Infitada I gotta do this, because I was making fun of Fox News yesterday, but Intifada. | ||
| You said Infitada. | ||
| those presidents fired, the Overton window is now shifting back to the right. And I see, | ||
| I think we're seeing it from these tech companies, etc, that previously they would have never | ||
| done such a thing. Now we're finally seeing some good results. | ||
| I got to do this because I was making fun of Fox News yesterday, but Intifada. You said | ||
| infant, Infitada. Did I? Yeah, I was watching Fox News the other day and I can't remember, | ||
| I think it was Kilmeade and he was like, he kept saying Infitada and I'm like, it's Intifada. | ||
| Intifada. | ||
| And I was like, pardon me. | ||
| Here's what I said. | ||
| I was like, I said out loud, is he going to, is someone going to, is Jesse Waters going to point that out to him, and he didn't? | ||
| And I was like, if that was me, I would do it. | ||
| And then when you did it, I was like, now I have to do it. | ||
| I have to say it. | ||
| I have to correct it. | ||
| No, it would actually have been funnier if you didn't. | ||
| You were going on about how he should, and then you just didn't do it. | ||
| All right, we're going to jump to this next clip. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Libs of TikTok. | ||
| This one's... Here you go, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Protesters at Columbia University called Jews pigs and claims we are Hamas and long live Hamas. | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| This is happening. | ||
| This is... | ||
| Look at this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Keep it moving, you Zionists. | |
| Keep it moving, you Zionists. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Hamas is okay, right? | ||
| Hamas is okay? | ||
| Hamas is okay. | ||
| Hamas, right? | ||
| We are Hamas! | ||
| You're Hamas? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That's a good one. | ||
| You're what? | ||
| You're Hamas? | ||
| Yes, we're all Hamas, man! | ||
| Long live Hamas! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Deport. | |
| Damn. | ||
| You're Hamas? | ||
| Yes, we're all Hamas, man! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Long live Hamas! | |
| Damn. | ||
| You're Hamas? | ||
| Yes, we're all Hamas, man! | ||
| So here's what I want to say. | ||
| The guy's walking down the street with an Israeli flag on his back. | ||
| The person calls him a Zionist pig. | ||
| I think it's fair to draw the distinction between a government and a group of people. | ||
| If the guy was just looking like he was wearing a yarmulke and the person yelled pig at him, I'd say he's calling a Jew a pig. | ||
| I want to make sure we at least keep the distinction between criticizing people who support Israel and people who are Jewish. | ||
| That being said, yo, that woman yelled, we are Hamas twice at someone else. | ||
| We are Hamas. | ||
| And then someone else yelled, uh, long live Hamas. | ||
| I don't think she's Hamas. | ||
| Well, I don't think she's actually- I don't think they let her in. | ||
| I don't think exactly. | ||
| I don't think- Let her in? | ||
| They're like, no, no, you stay over there. | ||
| They would lock her up. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| People like that. | ||
| And that's the side she's picking. | ||
| She's like- Would they? | ||
| Would they lock her up? | ||
| Under this government? | ||
| Under this administration where you have people on the FBI terrorist watches coming, walking into our country? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| Hamas would. | ||
| Hamas would, he said. | ||
| Oh, I got it. | ||
| I was like, hold up a second. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| The Biden administration would be like, stop going. | ||
| The Biden administration would roll out a red carpet. | ||
| carpet. | ||
| No one in America is going to get locked up for anything except Donald Trump. | ||
| Like no one is ever going to be arrested ever again for anything they do. | ||
| That's what the Biden promise is. | ||
| Unless you defend yourself or you're Donald Trump. | ||
| I gotta pull this one up next. | ||
| This is uh, what is this? | ||
| Olia Scooter Caster on Twitter posting this clip from Freedom News on TV. | ||
| This is Shai Davidae. | ||
| I'm probably pronouncing it Davidae. | ||
| Probably pronouncing that wrong. | ||
| He is a professor at Columbia and they deactivated his car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is the university keeping the media out? | |
| This is the CEO of the university. | ||
| Are we not letting the media in? | ||
| Can you back up, please? | ||
| My card has been deactivated? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Can you back up, please? | ||
| Okay, let me just pause. | ||
| This is a Jewish pro-Israel professor who works at Columbia, and they deactivated his card so he cannot get on campus, period. | ||
| They offer him an escort specifically to his class, and they're like, no, you can't come in. | ||
| And he's like, I work here! | ||
| And they're like, too bad. | ||
| They are outright, the faculty are defending these protesters, Many of whom have yelled they are Hamas. | ||
| That's what they're supporting. | ||
| They have yelled that Hamas is justified. | ||
| I mean, look, man. | ||
| Do you guys remember when Hasan Piker said, well, babies are settlers. | ||
| They're baby settlers. | ||
| Remember when he said that? | ||
| He made a statement to Ethan Klein on Lethos. | ||
| Really smart guy. | ||
| And this is what effectively broke up their show. | ||
| He said, that he believed that Hamas is justified in what they're doing because they're trying to reclaim Stolen. | ||
| I'm not going to say what he said because if I read a verbatim quote, I think it goes too far. | ||
| And then Ethan Klein's like, yeah, okay, I get that, but if it was settlers, they're going after. | ||
| And then he's like, Ethan Klein's like, there were babies there. | ||
| And Hassan goes, oh, babies are settlers. | ||
| Like some of the settlers are babies. | ||
| Bizarre. | ||
| It's complete dedication to the idea. | ||
| I mean, that's just basically saying he accepts that babies will be murdered. | ||
| And he's justified the means. | ||
| He called it justified. | ||
| That should not shock us. | ||
| The man is very rabidly pro-choice, too. | ||
| Sure, absolutely. | ||
| Now think about a statement like that that was made in October. | ||
| This protest, and what these people are saying, and the school, the faculty came out in support of it, and they actually deactivated the card of the Jewish professor and they won't allow him on the campus. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| I just wish that America's Youth got this excited about other things that were more relevant, right? | ||
| Like, I wish they were rallying like this for a border wall. | ||
| I wish they were rallying like this to, you know, against the billion dollars we just promised to foreign nations. | ||
| It would be interesting if that was the thing. | ||
| The trillion dollars? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I would love to see this, you know, I'm not against young people being active and dedicated to cause, it's just why is this the cause that has, you know, Electrified America's youth, especially at elite institutions. | ||
| Theoretically, these are going to potentially become some of the most influential people in our country because we still have a pedigree system where we believe an Ivy League degree is more valuable than something else, which I don't personally believe. | ||
| But again, They're not rallying for anything that I believe in or support. | ||
| This is not my priority, and yet this is all that's going to dominate the news cycle right now. | ||
| Here's the question. | ||
| Are these organic emergences? | ||
| Is it emergent, or is it orchestrated? | ||
| Well, that's the question, right? | ||
| I mean, and are young people capable enough of thinking for themselves at this point in time for any of it to not be orchestrated? | ||
| It's a really complicated question, because you can have a movement that develops organically without anyone having ever thought for themselves, because quite frankly the movement doesn't have a whole lot of thought put into it. | ||
| And this is something I've said about the left repeatedly, it's essentially just social decay. | ||
| are trying to make intellectual rationalizations and excuses for not doing the things that they | ||
| need to do to fulfill their obligations and upkeep society, it basically ends up being some kind of | ||
| left-wing philosophy that they end up spewing. Leftism is really just a person trying to justify | ||
| their own vice in putting the window dressing of a respectable ideological system of thought on it. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| It's possible, on the one end, that all of the protests that we see and all of the movements of people getting really energized for some kind of left-wing cause are orchestrated, but then again, they don't really have to be any more than a rock slide has to be orchestrated. | ||
| Things just fall apart over time, and that's all leftism is. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I was thinking this because these people have no idea what they're protesting. | ||
| They have no idea why they're upset. | ||
| They can't tell you the details of American foreign policy, but for some reason they just know so much about Israel and Palestine. | ||
| You're allowed to criticize Israel, you're allowed to criticize Hamas, you're allowed to criticize Ukraine, you're allowed to criticize U.S. | ||
| spending in Sudan and all of these things, but these are young people who seem to have latched on to a Cause of the year? | ||
| I mean, it was BLM four years ago, and this time it's Israel. | ||
| The only bad news for Democrats, I guess, is they're gonna lose a lot of voters over this. | ||
| Earlier in the show, Scott, you were mentioning that unregistered voters are leaning towards the Republican Party. | ||
| I don't know that this is the biggest issue for most people, but this is certainly a big issue if you look at people like Michael Rapaport. | ||
| I don't know if you guys watch Fallout. | ||
| You see the new show, Fallout? | ||
| He's in it! | ||
| And I was really excited to see him in that show. | ||
| He's a funny guy. | ||
| But he was like one of the most anti-Trump guys forever. | ||
| And then this Israel stuff happened, and now he's doing interviews where he's like, VOTE FOR TRUMP IS ON THE TABLE! | ||
| I'M GONNA VOTE! | ||
| Even, I mean, Joe Rogan for a while saying it, these are big moves by prominent comedians. | ||
| You know, Joe was never the craziest anti-Trumper with TDS. | ||
| Rapaport was making video after video after video. | ||
| Now all of a sudden, it's shifting. | ||
| Well, in regards to whether it's organic or orchestrated, I think it's a little bit of both, but ultimately look, we're human. | ||
| It comes down to NIMBY, not in my backyard. | ||
| People don't care about something unless it's personally affecting them. | ||
| And that's what, I mean, look at the drone attacks that we just had from Iran to Israel. | ||
| I want to make it clear, if you are watching right now. | ||
| And you are a male or even a female that's 18 to 25 years old. | ||
| A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for you to be shipped overseas and to go to war. | ||
| So I hope that you're enjoying that free college tuition because that's the exchange that's going on with this Biden administration. | ||
| Sure, you'll get your college, but it's going to be an exchange for maybe a limb, maybe your life. | ||
| For a man that's going to check his watch when your casket is shipped back to our country when you died on behalf of a man that doesn't even care about you. | ||
| If you're a young man, a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for war. | ||
| And I want to make that very clear. | ||
| I'll stress this too. | ||
| If you are young and you are wondering why you can't afford rent, why you can't afford food or insurance or a car, it's because all of these tax dollars, money that is supposed to be generationally inherited by the next generation, you Gen Z, Millennials too, It's going to non-citizens, quote-unquote newcomers. | ||
| It's going to foreign wars in Ukraine. | ||
| It's going to Zelensky. | ||
| And it's going to places like Israel. | ||
| It's going to Sudan. | ||
| It's going to a lot of different places. | ||
| In fact, somehow, it's ending up in places like Iran and Gaza at the exact same time. | ||
| What was it, like $9 billion was sent to Gaza for aid? | ||
| Hamas then takes that as the governing authority of the region. | ||
| We're just basically funding everything. | ||
| Why? | ||
| One big reason is the U.S. | ||
| seems to think, and not just the U.S., but Western forces, I guess, like NATO and them, Western allies, think that if you give people dollars, they'll have confidence and they will spend it. | ||
| And if everyone's spending it, they won't spend anything else. | ||
| But to my point, if Gen Z votes for Democrats, and this is what, like, it's fluctuating in the polls, What they're basically saying is they don't want a place to live. | ||
| They will live in a shoebox with five other people, and they will give all of our tax dollars to non-citizens in foreign countries. | ||
| Donald Trump is the guy who said, secure our borders, bring back the jobs. | ||
| He's far from perfect, but he was good on foreign policy. | ||
| He was good on jobs in this country. | ||
| A lot of Gen Z voted for Joe Biden because that was the trend. | ||
| That was the thing you were supposed to do. | ||
| And now they're wondering why. | ||
| In New York City, it's $2,300 for a bachelor apartment. | ||
| That means it has no bathroom. | ||
| and they're like, I can barely, yeah, in some parts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mom. | |
| So it's like, I guess don't live there. | ||
| But some people have to, that's why it exists. | ||
| It's the market price. | ||
| So now a lot of these people are living in microscopic apartments they can barely afford. | ||
| They're making videos and putting them on TikTok where they're like, why can't I live? | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| And it's like, my friend, it's because the Democrats are bringing in millions of non-citizens | ||
| and giving them luxury hotel rooms, giving them what you were supposed to inherit. | ||
| Now I'll tell you this, you want to talk about what you deserve and what you own as a human | ||
| life on this planet? | ||
| It could be the dirt. | ||
| You wake up one day in the middle of the woods with absolutely nothing, you're buck naked, and they say, you get what you can find. | ||
| That's humanity. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| Over the past several thousand years our ancestors have built things, invented things, learned things, shared that knowledge with their children, and every generation the children inherit either a bit of knowledge or resources from those who came before them. | ||
| For the- for It's not the first time in history, but one of the first times in this country, we have a major political party hell-bent on giving away the inheritance of the shoulders of giants to non-citizens in foreign countries, and now Gen Z is left holding an empty bag. | ||
| Well, and it's even worse than that, right? | ||
| It's not even just the case that this money is being given away in a massive cash grab because the Treasury is being looted. | ||
| Of course, that is also the case, very much, I would say, at the heart of this. | ||
| You could at least try to help yourself sleep at night by saying this money is going to a good cause. | ||
| But the reality is, almost all of the problems that have been caused militarily or militaristically have been a result of some form of military spending in the past. | ||
| So for example, we created and funded the terrorist organizations that were fighting the Middle East now, like ISIS. | ||
| We sided with the Mujahideen, creating Al-Qaeda. | ||
| And Israel even funded Hamas early on. | ||
| The foreign policy establishment in our country, and the ones we're allied with in other countries, have made so many horrific blunders historically, and then they come to us and say, well, just give us some more cash. | ||
| We'll fix it this time. | ||
| Why? | ||
| But were they blunders? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That's the question. | ||
| Or was this orchestrated? | ||
| Like you just said, Tim, they're playing both sides of the chess game. | ||
| It doesn't matter who wins, they win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They win. | |
| They're doing what they want to do. | ||
| So, I mean, if you're funding Hamas while at the same time Israel, therefore the attacks against each other, who wins? | ||
| The industrial military complex and Boeing, who's going to get that money? | ||
| Because what people don't realize is it's not like we're giving all this money to Ukraine. | ||
| It's really going back into our country, that it's going into missiles and weapons and going into the military-industrial complex. | ||
| But furthermore, I feel I'm convicted to say this is the biggest reason why I'm a Republican and why I'm supporting Donald Trump is the issue of illegal immigration. | ||
| It's so much more than we're just giving our resources and our land and we're pushing out our people. | ||
| But I want to make it clear, Americans are being replaced by illegal aliens and look no further than Lake and Riley of Georgia. | ||
| If you want to talk about all the Democrats that say they're pro-women and they're pro-women's rights and they want to support our women, where were you for Lake and Riley? | ||
| Why is it that a young American girl in our country has to be scared about going for a run and she was murdered by an illegal alien, that this crime was 100% preventable? | ||
| She should be alive today! | ||
| Right, Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas was asked about her and he was like, I don't know who that is. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| You have one job, which is to be aware of the crime because of illegal immigration. | ||
| You couldn't even do that. | ||
| And then the response you get from the left and from Democrats is, this was a murder and murder happens all the time. | ||
| Why are you singling out illegal immigration? | ||
| And the response is actually typical. | ||
| Simple, sorry. | ||
| The response is, hey, when it comes to New York and you have people being pushed in front of trains, We are also screaming, arrest these people and lock them up. | ||
| But this is what happened with Lake and Riley. | ||
| A big response from leftists and Democrats was, you're singling out illegal immigration when the real issue was someone got murdered. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I'm like, bro, we've been talking about crime for a long time. | |
| As if that's disconnected. | ||
| Yeah, also as if those two things are disconnected, because firstly, if someone is in the country illegally, they already broke our laws to be here, and we didn't do anything to remove them, then yes, our legal system actually has failed to fulfill its duty to protect citizens. | ||
| So, it's on another level. | ||
| In the same way, there are so many people, you keep hearing stories almost every day, keep seeing stories in the news, some young woman gets murdered, or somebody gets hit, there's some violent activity, and it's somebody who had been arrested and let go for 50 other violent crimes, because we can't prosecute people because That's mean. | ||
| And we don't like doing that anymore. | ||
| The reality is... It's mean. | ||
| It's mean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I mean, the reality is, you're right. | ||
| It's more than just giving our resources away and our country away. | ||
| It's about protecting the citizens who currently live here. | ||
| We're just not interested in doing that anymore. | ||
| Scott, were you always a Republican? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, I've always been Republican, but I think there's the difference between a Mitt Romney and a John McCain Republican versus a Donald Trump or Josh Hawley, etc. | ||
| And I think it was a big wake-up call. | ||
| I mean, look, I voted for Mitt Romney. | ||
| I truly, in 2012, I believed in him at the time. | ||
| And to come to the realization that some of these people are just as bad, if not worse, than the Democrats, because at least the Democrats, they'll smile and lie in your face. | ||
| The Republicans, they'll tell you, I mean, excuse me, the Democrats will tell you exactly what they're doing with a Cheshire Cat grin. | ||
| The Republicans, they'll lie to you and then they'll stab you in the back and then they'll do the opposite when you elected them thinking that you were voting for America first. | ||
| I want to pull up this image. | ||
| I saw this earlier over on patriots.win. | ||
| And I just saw it and I just thought to myself, there's like deep meaning in this photo. | ||
| Maybe I can make it larger, I'm not sure. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| On the left you have January 6th, on the right you have Democrats in Congress waving Ukrainian flags. | ||
| And I just thought to myself, what a terrifying image. | ||
| Now I will stress, the riots on January 6th, bad, wrong, and those who did riot should go to jail. | ||
| I think the appropriate amount of time in jail for, you know, rioting and attacking cops should, I don't know, like two to six months, depending on the severity of the attack. | ||
| If you were hitting cops or whatever, yeah, it's like six months. | ||
| Maybe some people might get probation because you don't go to jail on your first offense. | ||
| What'd they do? | ||
| 20 years. | ||
| Then you had a lot of people who marched through a building from the, they came in the other side of the building, Where they had no idea what was going on, there were no barricades, the doors were open, and they were just like walking in, taking selfies with cops, and those people are getting a year, sometimes more, in jail for misdemeanors. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| But I'll stress, I'll stress this. | ||
| January 6th, the riots at the Capitol, should not have happened, but I will at least say, the people are all carrying American flags, there's a Gadsden flag, and Trump flags. | ||
| The Trump flags, I question a little bit, I'm like, that's a flag for a guy, but at the very least, a flag for a president. | ||
| On the right, I see members of Congress waving the flags of a foreign nation on our House floor, and I'm just disgusted. | ||
| And I'm just like, man. | ||
| I feel like we're the ones who got invaded. | ||
| Yeah, I was gonna say. | ||
| You see these flags everywhere. | ||
| Everyone else's flag is being flown everywhere. | ||
| You almost never see American flags anymore. | ||
| I look at January 6th and I think to myself, as many, some people liked it, I don't know, I think it was a bad day. | ||
| And I think it was bad for this country that it happened. | ||
| I think it shouldn't have happened. | ||
| But I see American flags, so I understand that while these people are wrong and we're doing wrong, They care about America. | ||
| They like America. | ||
| And then they committed crimes. | ||
| Okay, you go to jail for that. | ||
| Okay, I don't care if you like whatever. | ||
| And most of the vast majority of people there do not commit a crime, right? | ||
| Right, the riots were bad. | ||
| Most of the people waving flags didn't commit any crime, didn't do anything wrong. | ||
| The riots are bad. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| The violent activity is bad. | ||
| The bumbling, confused people are being unfairly targeted. | ||
| But I look at the members of Congress waving Ukrainian flags and I see something much more sinister. | ||
| Well, I have an idea. | ||
| I think we should rename East Palestine, Palestine. | ||
| And maybe Ohio will finally get some funding. | ||
| And maybe if we rename Hawaii, Ukraine, then all of those residents in Maui that are homeless now because of the fires, maybe we'd actually have some funding for our people instead of the whole rest of the globe. | ||
| Let's call Texas Israel. | ||
| We've got a border wall. | ||
| This is actually, yes. | ||
| Immediately. | ||
| It's actually a funny idea. | ||
| Maybe Thomas Massie could do this. | ||
| He ounces a funding bill for Palestine and he says, I think, you know, we'll all agree an aid package for Palestine would be a good thing, so please, would you sign my bill? | ||
| But it's actually East Palestine. | ||
| Senator, please do it. | ||
| If you're watching this right now, please do it. | ||
| You know, because the Democrats, they're so good about naming bills. | ||
| Oh, the Affordable Care Act. | ||
| You know, they would put something forth called like the Save Puppies and Kittens Act, but then it's going to have a poison pill in it to make the whole thing terrible. | ||
| And then they'll say, oh, Hannah, you voted against the puppies and kittens. | ||
| That's what the Democrats do. | ||
| We need to call for a ceasefire in Chicago. | ||
| They do, actually. | ||
| There's like an activist group called Chicago Ceasefire. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Yeah, because there's so much gang violence. | ||
| Is it working? | ||
| It's not. | ||
| They do it? | ||
| There's a funny meme where it's, uh, someone said, like, it's like Democrat offers up the free pancakes and waffles for everyone, Bill. | ||
| And everyone's like, wow, that sounds fantastic. | ||
| And then one guy's like, yeah, no, I'm not voting for, they all vote for it. | ||
| And then they, and then it says, it says like, yay, all in favor. | ||
| And then the one person goes, when do we get our free waffles? | ||
| And the Democrat goes, what do you mean? | ||
| This ban's owning dogs. | ||
| No, I think that's true. | ||
| The Patriot Act. | ||
| And to be fair, I feel like you have to acknowledge that they have really nailed marketing. | ||
| I think the Democrats do a great job of being like, here's Bill. | ||
| And partially because they dominate the media, they're able to be like, talk about it this way. | ||
| Here's the cool name. | ||
| This is the nickname we're giving it. | ||
| Okay, everyone in agreement? | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| It's all false information, or it's skimming over what's really going on. | ||
| And that's why I think the American people become so cynical. | ||
| I do think that there is a group within the Republican Party that's in Congress right now that are sort of becoming engaged with this. | ||
| They're starting to see how to market better. | ||
| But generally, I think the Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first. | ||
| Presented to us both by our elected officials and by the media are it's really driving | ||
| Voters into the arms Republicans. I don't know you feel similar | ||
| Let me let me let me play this clip real quick for you guys because we're just talking about it | ||
|
unidentified
|
Some say well, we have to deal with our border first. The Ukrainian-Russian border is our border | |
| This is like when they say our democracy. Yeah, what does it mean? No | ||
| Guy a map like does he not understand where our borders? | ||
| I say like this is a crane if there's you and a picture of a crane on a map | ||
| I know I'm mad about him. This is rep Gerald Connolly of Virginia mm-hmm on the floor on C-SPAN saying that the | ||
| Ukrainian-Russian border is our border I I'm just | ||
| I knew the American education system was bad, right? | ||
| We've got lots of people who can't read. | ||
| But this guy can't do geography, and he has been out of school for a long time. | ||
| This is sad. | ||
| I mean, the man is saying the quiet part loud, right? | ||
| America clearly has some interest in Ukraine. | ||
| There's some information that they don't want us to have. | ||
| We know about the phone call with Victoria Nuland. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| Ukraine is either owned by Russia or it's owned by the United States at the end of the day, and they're well aware of that. | ||
| They want a puppet government there. | ||
| Now, that's not me saying what Russia is doing is good by any means. | ||
| I'm not saying that Putin is justified. | ||
| But what I am saying is his statement that Ukraine's border is our border, we should believe him when he says that, right? | ||
| It's true, though. | ||
| He believes the United States owns Ukraine, that that is our asset. | ||
| That's how he sees it. | ||
| And it's true. | ||
| We are at war with Russia. | ||
| Only silly people would claim otherwise. | ||
| We have personnel there, NATO has personnel there, and they go, but they're not fighting. | ||
| They're just providing the logistics and the training, and then we provide the weapons, and then we tell the Ukrainians what to do. | ||
| We send money, resources, and power there, but because we're not actually there, we're pretending otherwise. | ||
| Again, we're just lying to you. | ||
| It is Americans fighting in the war. | ||
| It's just, you know, they're private. | ||
| Yeah, it's not the same thing at all. | ||
| So it's our weapons, our training, our tactics, our intelligence, we have our military strategists, NATO forces, and then the Americans that are fighting there have just gone there on their own. | ||
| We don't send them there, we just pay them to be there. | ||
| So it's fine. | ||
| Well, our private companies pay them to be there. | ||
| And then we pay those private companies. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I will just say this. | ||
| If history has taught us anything, it's that when Russia is fighting Ukraine, and we fund Ukraine, we will end up fighting Ukraine. | ||
| At some point. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because that's always what happens. | ||
| This is what people were saying about the Azov battalions. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Majid Nawaz made a great point about that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's going to be 20 years from now, and then we're going to be talking about some great terror event where Azov did something, and then some 20-year-old's going to be like, why are we dealing with this? | ||
| And then some 40-year-old's going to be like, you know we funded Azov, right? | ||
| And they're going to go, what? | ||
| I remember when I was young and people were like, well, Al-Qaeda is just an offshoot from the Mujahideen. | ||
| And it's like, really? | ||
| And they're like, and we funded that. | ||
| It's like, wow. | ||
| Well, let's really put a pretty bow on this and take it full scale that we would not be having this conversation about Ukraine right now had Donald Trump won 2020. | ||
| Putin did not invade Ukraine under President Trump. | ||
| You did not have Hamas genocide Israel under President Trump. | ||
| You did not have Iran drone Israel under President Trump. | ||
| A lot of these problems could have been solved had people... I wouldn't want to finish my thought real quick. | ||
| Had we actually won the 2020 election or there not been shenanigans, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| And so we need to make that known that anybody who is considering Joe Biden, just know we didn't have this previously four years ago. | ||
| The Taliban as well. | ||
| Donald Trump sets a timeline and is negotiating how we pull out of Afghanistan. | ||
| Joe Biden takes it over and burns the whole thing to the ground. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And killing our men in the process as well. | ||
| But one note that I really wanted to take home as well is I'm glad that COVID opened so many people's eyes that we cannot trust our government. | ||
| And that people have this mentality now where some people are critically thinking, some people are questioning, going, wow, maybe I shouldn't believe everything that I read or see on TV. | ||
| And I'll tell you, I've been meeting a lot of felons recently. | ||
| Don't ask me why. | ||
| I love felons. | ||
| They're attracted, you know. | ||
| And I go to gun shows all the time. | ||
| I was in the Philly Expo Center right in Phoenixville, north of Philly, and I had this definite felon come over, this formerly incarcerated person, who I love. | ||
| He had love, hate, you know, tattooed on his hands, and he's like, I am inspired, I am convicted, ironically enough, for the first time to register to vote. | ||
| And I was like, I'd be so happy to register you. | ||
| And as I'm registering him, I'm like, look, Pennsylvania's the coolest primary state. | ||
| You have to be registered with a party. | ||
| And he's like, what's Donald Trump's party? | ||
| And I was like, he's a Republican. | ||
| And he's like, well, I'm a Republican. | ||
| And I just, I love that people are waking up and this message is really to anybody that has suffered at the hands of the injustice system and that you're seeing this two tiered level of our government, that they won't go after Hunter Biden. | ||
| They won't go after members of Congress that are using stock trading to their advantage, which is illegal in our country. | ||
| Yeah, they'll go after Donald Trump, but they wouldn't be going after him had he not been president, had he not tried to go against everything that they've been creating these institutions for, that if you want to peacefully just—well, I'm not even going to say that—but if you want to stop this weaponization and this two-tiered system, then you register to vote and you vote for Donald Trump on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. | ||
| Do you think we're going to win? | ||
| I am more confident today than I was a year ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| What's your data? | ||
| Well, I'm seeing the voter registration data. | ||
| Arizona, oh my gosh. | ||
| Arizona, despite everything that the Democrats—see, the Democrats, they know that perception is reality. | ||
| And that's something that I deal with every day in politics, that it doesn't matter how true something is. | ||
| It matters how people feel about it. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| see and that's why the work that you're doing Tim and and these kinds of shows | ||
| are so important because we are lifting that veil we are showing people what | ||
| what they they haven't known the truth they've only seen the contrived truth | ||
| the calculated truth the orchestrated and and so Arizona trending to the right | ||
| Nevada is only 30,000 voters away from flipping to Republican. | ||
| Pennsylvania, two years ago, there were 595,000 more registered D's than ours in the state. | ||
| Now it's below 400,000. | ||
| But that's active plus inactive. | ||
| If you only have active registered voters, that number is really under 250,000. | ||
| And for the first time in history, because that data came out today for Pennsylvania, because the primary is tomorrow. | ||
| So you at home, if you live in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which is going to be my new home, you get out and you vote tomorrow, Tuesday the 23rd in the primary. | ||
| I don't care if Donald Trump is going to be our nominee. | ||
| You vote in that election. | ||
| So I got, I got a question for you. | ||
| Did you see the Help America Vote verification system? | ||
| I did, and actually I'm so glad you're bringing that up. | ||
| Yeah, so I wanted to dispel any myths, or basically, well please, let's tell people first about it. | ||
| Quick context. | ||
| There's a website called, well the Social Security Administration has a portal called the Help America Vote Verification System. | ||
| If you don't have an ID, and you register to vote, the state then sends the registration, or it sends your information to the SSA for verification. | ||
| Over the past several weeks, actually, you know what? | ||
| Let me see if I can pull this up. | ||
| Let's just do this. | ||
| H-A-V-V-S-S-A dot gov. | ||
| Let's see if we find it. | ||
| Because it looks like they stopped publishing the data. | ||
| And they did. | ||
| They stopped publishing the data on this website. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I can't tell you why. | ||
| But we can see here, what we're looking at is, according to the Social Security Administration, all of these numbers on the left are the total transactions. | ||
| Meaning, Arizona had 25,608 new registrants who did not have an ID. | ||
| 22,918 were matched with the SSA system. | ||
| 2,699 were not matched. | ||
| who did not have an ID. 22,918 were matched with the SSA system. 2,699 were not matched. | ||
| 20 of those requests came up dead. Now Kansas had 322 that came up as dead. | ||
| I'll jump to the one week in question that had everybody kind of shocked, and that is in Missouri. | ||
| We have 23,253 attempted new registrants came up dead. | ||
| Now pause. | ||
| According to this website, what is HAVV, it says that it's a system where you only submit requests for new voters who do not have a valid license during the registration process. | ||
| That's what it says on their website. | ||
| It says that if someone is attempting to register, it goes through the Motor Vehicle Administration of the state. | ||
| If there's no ID, it then gets sent to the SSA. | ||
| If the system is being used properly, these are new registrations. | ||
| However, Missouri said, I believe Missouri said this, that it was voter roll cleanup. | ||
| So they took existing registrations that are existing profiles for individuals already registered and then asked the SSA to verify and they came back with 23,000 of them being dead. | ||
| That could make sense. | ||
| Texas has also had very, very large numbers with 219,000 attempts. | ||
| But Texas said this is clearly an error because it's not really happening. | ||
| I don't know if you know what this is and what's really going on. | ||
| Maybe it is the states are abusing the SSA and wrongly filing their data, even though they're not supposed to, in an effort to clean up their voter rolls? | ||
| Is that perhaps what's happening? | ||
| Well, what I have read is, like you said, it is whenever there is a request for social security verification. | ||
| So it doesn't mean that it's necessarily a new registration. | ||
| Website says it is. | ||
| For states like Pennsylvania, it could be for mail-in ballot access, etc. | ||
| Now the Texas Secretary of State, because I looked at those numbers and it said 500,000. | ||
| Well, the Texas SOS says that only 54,000 people have been registered to vote since the beginning of 2024. | ||
| So those numbers don't square away. | ||
| And furthermore, it also said for the website that it could be duplicate requests as well, not just one per person, but it could be the same person over and over. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| That could explain a lot of it, too. | ||
| I don't know if it explains it all the way. | ||
| I will stress, on the SSA website it says, states must only submit a request for new voters who do not present a valid driver's license during the voter registration process. | ||
| Perhaps there are duplicates. | ||
| Perhaps there's activist groups that are going on registering people, and someone didn't realize they registered twice, and they're doubling up. | ||
| Either way, we are seeing massive numbers. | ||
| I think a valid potential explanation is that states are abusing this as a way to clean up their voter rolls. | ||
| Possibly. | ||
| Well, I will say, and look, I'm not going to be so bold as to say that those numbers out of Pennsylvania, which are very large, are all because of the Amish. | ||
| But the Amish don't have driver's licenses. | ||
| You're really trying to get the Amish to move down here, man. | ||
| You're really trying to relocate. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Well, I mean, I have to tell you, I did recently milk a cow. | ||
| I was invited to an Amish farm and I hand-milked a cow at an Amish dairy farm. | ||
| Because we're working hard on actually getting the Amish registered to vote. | ||
| There hasn't been this level of organized effort to get the Amish registered. | ||
| Now why, Scott, am I so focused on this? | ||
| Which sounds so out of the box. | ||
| Because Joe Biden, and I use this word loosely, won the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes. | ||
| There are 80,000 Amish in Pennsylvania. | ||
| And these people, they are baby-making machines. | ||
| And if you look up, there's an article out there that by the year 2025, the Amish are going to take over. | ||
| The future is Amish. | ||
| No, I'm serious. | ||
| And so if we're smart, we would do the same thing, as I alluded to earlier, that the Democrats do. | ||
| You focus on a target community that you know, for example, why they have the border wide open, and we would focus on those communities that we know are going to produce lots of babies that we can turn into Republican legal voters. | ||
| We have Amish around here as well. | ||
| And they've got great farms with great food. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| The Amish are everywhere. | ||
| We've got to activate them. | ||
| Let's get them registered to vote. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And a meal on ballot. | ||
| The unstoppable tide of Amish. | ||
| The future is going to be Amish because they're having kids. | ||
| And let's get them a meal on ballot. | ||
| The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. | ||
| A mail-in ballot in their hands, because number one, their buggies don't go really fast. | ||
| So we want to make sure that they're getting to election day on time. | ||
| But number two, get this, when I tell the Amish that they can have a private and secret way to have their vote delivered to them, and then they can privately have their vote delivered, that they don't have to go out in public, that's something that the Amish really want. | ||
| They go, yes, I want to sign up for a mail-in ballot. | ||
| Because they want to retain their community, right? | ||
| They don't necessarily want to have a lot of outside influences. | ||
| Well, they don't want the stigma. | ||
| There's a stigma associated that, you know, for some people on the earthly kingdom, they shouldn't be voting, even though we're trying to get to the heavenly kingdom. | ||
| And so when I tell them that they can do it privately, secretly—and think about this, think about how ironic and comical it would be for a God-fearing, raw milk-producing, school-choice community that votes by mail the very thing that the Democrats have been pushing to defeat them. | ||
| That would be that cherry on top of electing Donald Trump this November. | ||
| And the best part about getting the Amish on our side and to vote for us is we could still make fun of them on the podcast and they'll never know. | ||
| They'll never know. | ||
| They'll never know. | ||
| Republicans could just go, ha ha ha. | ||
| Well, actually, the worst thing is that we praise them over and over again and they have no idea we are. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| No, no, they watch. | ||
| I was just kidding. | ||
| Guys, I've done more for the Amish people than maybe anyone in podcast history. | ||
| Mr. Ben. | ||
| Everyone agrees. | ||
| Everyone agrees. | ||
| Ben, if you were watching this show right now, because I've met Ben and I went into his store, and he's stacking the shelves, and he looks up at me and he goes, you're Scott Pressler. | ||
| I follow you on X. So some Amish Mennonites are watching. | ||
| Well, Mennonites have different- No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| It is a myth that they're not using technology. | ||
| Yeah, they just can't own it. | ||
| I don't know the rules. | ||
| I think they can't own it. | ||
| I think they can use it, but I don't know. | ||
| Also, Mennonites are different from Amish, technically, right? | ||
| He was an Amish Mennonite. | ||
| That's a crossover, though. | ||
| I'm not familiar. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| What if you just doxxed this guy? | ||
| He'd be in huge trouble in his community for doing that, but everyone who heard it would also get in trouble if they knew. | ||
| So they can't say anything. | ||
| They're like, I knew he was That guy. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Now they go and meet and they're like, I knew it. | ||
| You're a fan too. | ||
| No, but there are a lot of Benjamins out there. | ||
| I only said Ben. | ||
| I didn't say which one. | ||
| There are a lot of Samuels. | ||
| There are a lot. | ||
| Well, and I think your point that there are community that is having children is extremely | ||
| important. | ||
| Reuters ran this article over the weekend. | ||
| They sent a reporter to a Trump rally and just specifically talked to the young people | ||
| that were there, like the 18, 19, 20 year olds. | ||
| And they were all saying, there's one guy in the article where he's like, I can't think | ||
| of anything Trump did wrong and the economy's really bad. | ||
| Like, I can't buy a home. | ||
| How am I going to pay my way through life? | ||
| How am I going to start a family? | ||
| The reality is, Democrats could say anything. | ||
| You know, Corrine Jean-Pierre can come out every day and say jobs are great and the economy is strong. | ||
| But if you're a young person in America, you are not believing it. | ||
| You have to pay your bills. | ||
| You experience the hardship. | ||
| So you aren't going to say let's continue this pattern. | ||
| You're going to want to change. | ||
| You're going to want to change. | ||
| And I just think that it's obvious that There are very few things that the Biden campaign can talk about and brag about, right? | ||
| They can't talk about immigration. | ||
| They can't talk about the economy. | ||
| They can't really talk about abortion, even though that's the issue they really want to push. | ||
| They can't really talk about anything. | ||
| The environment? | ||
| Like, nothing. | ||
| So it is interesting to see the way American voters are sort of shifting, especially among young people. | ||
| They're going right. | ||
| We've had a bunch of polls over there in the beginning of the year that Gen Z is more right wing. | ||
| But it has gone back a little bit. | ||
| I don't know what you're seeing, Scott. | ||
| Yeah, well, I'm a millennial. | ||
| Don't hold it against me. | ||
| We were the Obama generation. | ||
| But as we age, as we get more wise, we are becoming more Republican. | ||
| But I tell you, these youngins, they are leaning right in a way that I have never seen before with the youth. | ||
| And I think, again, it's in part because of independent media. | ||
| It's because—God bless Elon Musk. | ||
| Seriously, God bless him, because we wouldn't have a voice On X, the most powerful platform there is right now, had he not bought it and taken it over and given us more of a platform to reach these people. | ||
| He's also an advocate for having huge families or at least having a lot of kids. | ||
| Yes, natalism. | ||
| I want every conservative family to have 10 children. | ||
| I'm serious. | ||
| I want a lot of Republican babies. | ||
| I think that's great. | ||
| I think that's the thing that there are a lot of young people who are, who want these things, right? | ||
| They want to own homes, they want to have a family, they want to be able to pay their bills and have jobs that let them live a comfortable life. | ||
| And this is not the presidency to give you that, right? | ||
| In fact, it wants to discourage you from those kinds of dreams and aspirations. | ||
| And so the only way to sort of turn the tide is to actively walk away from it. | ||
| So who's going to win? | ||
| President Trump has to. | ||
| I mean, I don't want to be a doomer. | ||
| I don't want to be the guy to depress anyone. | ||
| But look, there is no future if we don't elect Donald Trump and give him a Congress that he can actually pass legislation on day number one of being inaugurated on January 20th, 2025. | ||
| There is no future. | ||
| I had this, uh, I was putting a skateboard together and I, an interesting thing. | ||
| So, uh, when you're putting wheels on a skateboard, you put the bearings in the wheels. | ||
| In between the bearings is something called a spacer. | ||
| I'm assuming anybody who works in machinery and works with bearings knows the purpose of a spacer. | ||
| Skateboarders don't. | ||
| So growing up, all the skateboarders said you don't need spacers. | ||
| And then their bearings exploded. | ||
| Because what spacers do is it balances the lateral pressure. | ||
| So a bearing, for those that aren't familiar, is two rings with balls, ball bearings, in between each ring, which allows it to spin. | ||
| You put those in the wheels, each wheel has two. | ||
| There's going to be force from the left and the right as the bearing hits the truck or the screw, or whatever you call it, the nut. | ||
| And the pressure will cause the inner ring to push inward, and then a harsh landing will cause it to explode. | ||
| The spacer in the middle balances the pressure so that they don't explode. | ||
| At some point, someone asked, when they were putting a board together, why do I need this? | ||
| And someone's like, I don't know. | ||
| And they're like, screw it. | ||
| And they put it in. | ||
| And they skated, and everything seemed fine. | ||
| And so they ignored it. | ||
| One day their bearing exploded and it just happened. | ||
| They didn't know why. | ||
| They don't know why. | ||
| And so they started telling other kids, well you don't really need those. | ||
| And then all of a sudden came this trend of everyone abandoning this component because they didn't know what it did. | ||
| I think about that and I'm like, that is more than just a skateboard story. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| It is so much of everything in our culture and our country that Great, that we stand on the shoulders of giants to build the things we build, and then one day someone says, I don't know what that's for, and forgets about it. | ||
| Or it's like you get the extra screw and you're building the furniture and you're like, I don't know what that was for, and then one day the whole thing collapses. | ||
| I feel like this is what's happening in this country. | ||
| That is a great counter example to bring up when people tell the story or the thought | ||
| experiment of the monkeys who would get sprayed with the hose. | ||
| Oh yeah, everyone knows that one, right? | ||
| Because that whole story, right, but the whole reason people tell it, and there is some truth | ||
| in it, right, but the whole idea is this is why tradition is kind of silly and people buy into it. | ||
| But let's talk about the story real quick. | ||
| Yeah, so basically there was a group of monkeys, and I don't think it's an actual experiment that | ||
| It's a thought experiment someone did. | ||
| No, I think it did happen. | ||
| Do you think it was an actual experiment? | ||
| I thought it was a story someone made up. | ||
| But basically... The monkey hose experiment? | ||
| They would put a ladder with a bunch of food at the top, and if a monkey went towards the ladder to try to climb it and eat the food, they'd spray all the monkeys with hoses. | ||
| So then if a monkey went towards the ladder, all the other ones would just beat it up so | ||
| that it wouldn't do that. | ||
| Eventually, none of the monkeys went towards the ladder. | ||
| After like the first or second time, none of them went towards the ladder. | ||
| And then they started phasing the monkeys out over the years, or months, or however | ||
| long the experiment took. | ||
| And so new monkeys would come in, never having known you'd get sprayed with a hose, but they'd | ||
| go near the ladder and the other monkeys would beat them up. | ||
| And so they would also join in when other new monkeys came in and got beat up, just | ||
| Just because it was what all the other monkeys were doing. | ||
| They had no idea that it had anything to do with getting sprayed because you were trying to eat the food. | ||
| And so, eventually, in the long run, you had a situation where none of the original monkeys who knew about the hose were in there, but they would still beat up new monkeys who went towards the ladder. | ||
| And there was no hose anymore. | ||
| And there was no hose anymore. | ||
| It may be a fake story. | ||
| I did a Google search. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| Apocryphal or a myth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But yeah, right. | ||
| So everyone loves telling that story because they were like, wow, those monkeys are so dumb. | ||
| And it's like, no, there was a reason why they were stopping the monkey from climbing the ladder. | ||
| I think the lesson I took as a young person was that so they were just doing it just because and the hose wasn't even there anymore. | ||
| Well, they could get the fruit now. | ||
| And it's like, no, no, no. | ||
| There was always a reason behind it. | ||
| There is a risk if a temporary problem results in a long-term tradition, for sure, but then you have the inverse problem I think we're facing now, where traditions that were created for sustained long-term problems that we don't understand are now coming back because we don't understand why we built the things we built. | ||
| A really simple example is police. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We built police departments for dealing with crime, we have Officer Friendly throughout the years, the trope of the good cop, and now we're defunding and getting rid of police and getting rid of jails, and crime is getting bad in the cities and they're denying it's happening. | ||
| It's like, well, maybe you should realize why we had... Like, when we made Cash Bail, it wasn't some evil guy twirling his mustache being like, I want to take away civil rights! | ||
| No, there was a reason. | ||
| They were like, we should have cash bail. | ||
| And then the left was like, hey, this makes no sense. | ||
| Let's get rid of this. | ||
| And now everything's getting bad in New York, and they're denying it's getting bad. | ||
| Yeah, well, again, I hate to just lift this right from Jordan Peterson, but everyone wants to compare the society we live in to the hypothetical utopia in their mind. | ||
| I've seen this so many times where people will post this image of Henry Ford, and they'll go, this guy invented the five-day, 40-hour work week. | ||
| And everyone in the comments section is trashing him. | ||
| It's like, No, you idiot. | ||
| It was like 80 hours a week before that. | ||
| That's the whole point is he made it shorter. | ||
| He required people to do less labor. | ||
| It's not like nobody had to work and then Henry Ford came along and said, Seamus, it is time. | ||
| Oh, we're going to pull up this video that Gavin Newsom posted. | ||
| It's a great video. | ||
| This is you got to watch this commercial. | ||
| I got to be honest. | ||
| I thought it was I was like, there's nothing you can say that would convince me this isn't meant to be parody, but I hope you enjoy. | ||

| Trump Republicans want to criminalize young Alabama women who travel for reproductive care. | ||
| Miss, I'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle. | ||
| Take a pregnancy test. | ||
| Stop them by taking action at right to travel. | ||
| Firstly, let me look at her face. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Campaigner Democracy Group is responsible for the content of this advertisement. | |
| I just want to say, I love the idea of a horror film where you're supposed to sympathize with the murderers. | ||
| But secondly, the idea that a police officer is going to pull you over. | ||
| Why don't you take a pregnancy test? | ||
| Tim, you didn't think it was, you thought that was a parody? | ||
| What if I told you that that's found footage? | ||
| That's dash cam footage. | ||
| That's what happens. | ||
| She's looking at the camera. | ||
| And men can get pregnant, so they pull men over and tell them to take pregnancy tests, too. | ||
| Dude, there's a couple wild things about this. | ||
| Abortion doesn't register as a very large issue politically. | ||
| I take that back. | ||
| It is a big issue. | ||
| But immigration and economics and inflation, I mean, these things are the dominant ideas. | ||
| And it seems like the Democrats' only thing is, like, let's scare women on abortion, I guess. | ||
| They already have the female vote. | ||
| 70% of millennial women are Democrat. | ||
| Gen Z women trending Democrat. | ||
| Maybe this is why, but it kind of feels like, is that all you got? | ||
| And then they make the most ridiculous commercial ever. | ||
| It's just like, look, you could have made a convincing commercial where they actually just showed news reports where you had politicians saying, we will not allow women to seek abortions in other states. | ||
| But to make this ridiculous commercial where she's like, the cop wants her to pee on a test strip in public. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what that's all about. | ||
| Also, the idea that it is some horrible, evil thing. | ||
| Like, just set aside the abortion issue, which you all know I never do, but the idea that it's horrible or evil or dystopian to say you cannot cross state lines to commit a crime in another state. | ||
| This would be like if the NRA released a commercial where it's like, did you know Democrats want to make sure it's illegal to go commit a gun crime in another state and then go back to your state? | ||
| Yeah, no, that's not shocking because that's generally how the law works, right? | ||
| You're not supposed to be able to skirt it in that way. | ||
| Well, here's an interesting thing. | ||
| I do want to mention this. | ||
| You look at a commercial like this and you hope, well, that's just too silly. | ||
| People are going to think that that's ridiculous. | ||
| But as Tim has put in the past, these are the people who believe Jesse Smollett. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I do think it's interesting, though, is that in Texas, for instance, there's no casinos. | ||
| But right on the border with Oklahoma, they have one of the biggest casinos in the world. | ||
| It is common knowledge that if you live in Texas, where it is illegal to gamble, you cross state lines to commit a crime. | ||
| But it's not a crime in Oklahoma. | ||
| Nobody cares. | ||
| There's a big difference between killing and gambling, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so the debate for Alabama is they believe a murder is being committed. | ||
| You can't cross state lines to go commit a murder. | ||
| But it is interesting how we have selective enforcement of which crimes we think should or should not be warranted if you cross state lines to do them. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Like, Rittenhouse crossed state lines and that was the worst thing anyone ever did in all of history, right? | ||
| Like, the whole question of whether or not he defended himself hinged on whether he had crossed state lines earlier. | ||
| And then it turned out the media lied about that, too. | ||
| But, of course, they're totally inconsistent. | ||
| They don't actually care. | ||
| They just want it to be legal to kill babies and they also just want to use this. | ||
| Right, they're not explaining the issue. | ||
| They only want to rally around the word abortions because every mainstream media outlet going into 2024 said this is the biggest issue of the year, even though it's obviously not. | ||
| That's not what voters are responding to. | ||
| But additionally, I never hear about Democrats in Alabama being like, fine, if you're gonna take away abortion, then add additional funding to the pill, giving out condoms free. | ||
| There's no alternative. | ||
| It's just about abortion. | ||
| Not about improving the lives or reducing risks for women. | ||
| It's about this one singular issue. | ||
| They don't care about you. | ||
| They care about the word abortion and being on the right side of it. | ||
| I got an idea. | ||
| Seamus, I think you'll say yes to this. | ||
| You want to make a counter commercial? | ||
| I would love to make a counter commercial. | ||
| But it's not going to be funny. | ||
| It's going to be... Oh, well, I have done counter-commercials. | ||
| Right, well, here's the idea I have. | ||
| How about we remake this, and it's a guy bawling his eyes out in a police station, begging them, please help me. | ||
| And the cops are like, sir, we're... And you don't know exactly why he's like, just please, please, whatever you can do. | ||
| And the cops are like, sir, we're doing everything we can. | ||
| And then you have the woman driving in the car, speeding, heading towards the state border, and a cop pulls her over, and she guns it. | ||
| Then... | ||
| Cop pulls in front of her, stops her, gets out, and he's like, are you name? | ||
| And she's like, yes. | ||
| He's like, out of the car now! | ||
| She gets out, eight months pregnant, and she was fleeing the state, trying to leave her husband and get an abortion at eight months. | ||
| I think it's a good- here's what I think you'd have to do to really make it gut-wrenching. | ||
| She has to actually get away with it, right? | ||
| Like, she leaves and she goes and has the abortion. | ||
| The cop's like, well, there's nothing- like, yes, your child- She goes into Colorado. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then the guy's just screaming and crying and screaming why. | ||
| And then she says something to her friend like, he was the wrong guy for me. | ||
| But the left would still love that commercial because they would just be happy that they're getting to see a baby get terminated. | ||
| Well, I mean, that's a little hyperbolic, but they would still like the idea to be like, yeah, like, yep, it's her choice. | ||
| She can go to Colorado. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| They would have to defend that. | ||
| And the reality of it is the cops are going to say, we can't go into Colorado and arrest her. | ||
| She's in a different state now. | ||
| If she comes back, maybe we can pursue charges. | ||
| And the guy is just going to be crying. | ||
| Too late at that point, yeah. | ||
| My baby's gone. | ||
| Eight months. | ||
| The baby could have lived. | ||
| I don't understand why she decided to kill it. | ||
| And then it cuts to her saying to her friend, like, I realized that he was the wrong guy for me and if I had this kid, I'd be stuck with him forever. | ||
| Well, we need to get better about how we message to women in general. | ||
| Like, there are some issues that we're just, we're not going to win. | ||
| And so, for example, the way that the, you heard me earlier talk about Lake and Riley. | ||
| I'm doing that very specifically. | ||
| I want to always bring up that a dadder was stolen. | ||
| She was stolen from us. | ||
| And I'm using that word. | ||
| I'm saying dadder because I want to appeal to every father, every brother, every uncle, et cetera, that a woman was stolen from their life. | ||
| And furthermore, why don't we even play with it a little bit when we're trying to appeal to men talking about war? | ||
| Why are we not saying to women, to girls, send your boyfriend to war, vote for Joe Biden? | ||
| And using that kind of reverse psychology, talking about it that way, where we're talking to women, but we're also talking to men at the same time. | ||
| Yeah, I think it is very different. | ||
| I mean, men and women's brains work differently. | ||
| I know I'm going to cancel for saying that. | ||
| No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| But the appeal to emotion is it can work on men, but it's definitely something that people know works with women. | ||
| And I think one of the worst issues, especially when it comes to any conversation around children, reproductive issues, abortion, is it's all fear based. | ||
| It's to tell women somebody's after you. | ||
| And if you don't do this, you're Ruining the lives of every other female out there, but it's never to address the things that I think women are actually concerned about. | ||
| And I think you're right. | ||
| If we're talking about war, saying like someone you love could die because of this, they would vote differently. | ||
| And I think similarly, it is interesting to me that instead of approaching the abortion issue logically, being like, okay, if the goal is that women shouldn't have to have children they don't want, We want additional funding for free birth control, right? | ||
| I think the pill is evil. | ||
| I'm not saying that's what I would do, but theoretically if they're trying to prevent a woman from having a kid she doesn't want, there are other avenues for that, but instead it becomes about this one issue they want to keep on the table. | ||
| It's not about the women and the logic doesn't follow because it's actually about manipulating them. | ||
| It's about the emotional control. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And so it's interesting because according to some data, women are more likely to call themselves pro-life. | ||
| So there's this question here, well why is it that this is an issue that Democrats always campaign on to try to get the female vote? | ||
| And I think a large part of it is they do this scaremongering where they make women think that there are medically necessary procedures that they will not be able to get because of some anti-abortion law that was worded improperly, perhaps intentionally so because Republicans just hate women. | ||
| But I think your idea is good, Tim, the one we were talking about earlier with this commercial, because the unfortunate reality is Republicans have just abandoned the abortion issue and they've failed to message on it in a way that says, no, actually, we have the moral position and what you're doing is evil. | ||
| They almost want to sweep it under the rug and not talk about it because they don't have faith. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They gave up. | |
| They totally gave up. | ||
| They don't have faith that they can convince voters that abortion is wrong. | ||
| They go, well we have our victory and we're just going to be quiet about it and hope nobody notices. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| And that's also not how you win in politics. | ||
| You have to assert that your position is correct instead of trying to hide from it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I think the Republicans have admitted they have no, they've admitted two things, one of two things. | ||
| That they know they've lost the argument entirely, and so Trump comes out and says what I believe to be the politically appropriate response considering, and that's we'll leave it up to the states. | ||
| Because he's between a rock and a hard place with the moral position of Republicans and trying to win over states that are attacking him on the issue. | ||
| I believe the principled position would be to directly assert your moral position, period, to try and win the argument. | ||
| That if you are pro-life, you should be saying outright 100% we don't think this should be legal, but the fact that Republicans aren't saying that says they don't think the majority of Americans agree with them, and so they're basically dropping it. | ||
| And people also are aware that that's a dishonest tactic. | ||
| It's like you're hiding the ball. | ||
| Well, let me add this real quick, too. | ||
| The idea that Bill Maher said this, and I agree with him, although Bill Maher said it was murder and he agreed with it, which is insane. | ||
| He actually said, it is kind of murder, but I'm okay with it because we had 8 billion people. | ||
| And I was like, whoa! | ||
| Geez, dude. | ||
| But the issue is, you cannot come out and say, abortion is murder, and states should be allowed to decide whether they allow it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| No way. | ||
| Completely agree with you. | ||
| You've either gotta say, we don't think it's murder, Or you've got to ban it. | ||
| Like, I don't know what position Republicans are going to take on this one. | ||
| You don't get to have a moderate position on an issue like that. | ||
| And the thing is, Democrats actually realize that. | ||
| The Democrats don't have a moderate position. | ||
| And they're saying up until the moment of birth for any reason. | ||
| And so Republicans have to be saying never. | ||
| But I'll push back a little bit too and say the Supreme Court has to rule on this. | ||
| I don't know that overturning Roe v. Wade was the right or wrong decision. | ||
| At first I thought, okay, maybe it's good that it'll go to the states and we can federalize a little bit. | ||
| States can do it as they want. | ||
| And then we actually got into this discussion over personhood and whether or not an unborn is a person as it pertains to the 14th Amendment. | ||
| And then all that matters is this. | ||
| I'm not going to tell you whether it should or shouldn't be. | ||
| I'll take a neutral position on it for the sake of this argument. | ||
| The Supreme Court needs to answer whether an unborn child qualifies as a person under the 14th Amendment. | ||
| Because the 14th Amendment says that the state, the government, shall not deprive a person of life, liberty, and property without due process. | ||
| The question then becomes, is a baby, unborn, a person as it pertains to the United States, to this country under the Constitution? | ||
| The question's got to be answered. | ||
| I don't know if they'll say yes or no. | ||
| There have been previous rulings in the past where there have been inclinations of yes. | ||
| We'll see where that goes. | ||
| But the implication is serious. | ||
| If the Supreme Court rules that an unborn baby is a person, a woman would not be able to get an abortion for any reason unless she went to a court of law and got approval from a judge. | ||
| Well, and then they, like, directly gave the baby the death penalty instead of just allowing all of them to get it at any time. | ||
| But this would pertain to, it wouldn't be a doctor's decision. | ||
| It wouldn't be an issue of rape, incest, or health of the mother. | ||
| It would be going to a judge and saying, for this reason, we qualify for an abortion, and the judge saying yes or no. | ||
| Well, I think in that kind of a situation, That would be just as likely as someone being able to get a death warrant signed for a child that had been born. | ||
| If the courts rule that a child is a person, which I, of course, believe they are, and I believe all unborn children are people, then I don't think you would even have cases where it would be allowed. | ||
| Well, the question is... I get what you're saying. | ||
| It was like medically necessary. | ||
| So this is something we talked about before in the show. | ||
| Seamus can assert his moral position. | ||
| I'm not saying they should or should not do this. | ||
| I'm saying... | ||
| We need an answer as to whether, like, look, half the country is saying it's murder, half the country is saying it's not. | ||
| The Supreme Court has to answer this question because this is a personhood question as it pertains to literal human life. | ||
| Yeah, I think one argument that the left makes, and I've talked about this on the show before so I'll try to make it quick, but just to kind of keep audience members up to date if they're not aware of this, one of the most effective pieces of rhetoric for the left is this idea that there are these medically necessary abortions, that mothers will die if they're not allowed to have them. | ||
| It's actually not true by definition. | ||
| Abortion is the direct and intentional killing of the unborn child. | ||
| There are certain medical procedures a pregnant woman might need that could unintentionally result in the unborn child dying. | ||
| So, for example, if a woman is pregnant, she needs a surgery, The surgery could result in a miscarriage, but it's going to save her life. | ||
| If she has the surgery and miscarries, that's sad, but that's not an abortion. | ||
| That's not the same thing. | ||
| And so that's not what Republicans are trying to ban. | ||
| What Republicans are trying to ban is directly going in there and ending the life of the child. | ||
| But the left makes it sound like the right is trying to ban medically necessary procedures by calling them medically necessary abortions, but they're actually literally not abortions. | ||
| I remember getting my hair cut right after Roe v. Wade was overturned and the girl was talking about it and she was like, I can't believe they're doing this. | ||
| You know, my sister, she had a baby she miscarried and she had to go in and get a medically necessary abortion for this baby. | ||
| But it's like, that's not a medically, that's not the same thing. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| The baby's already dead. | ||
| They're removing it. | ||
| There was this expansion of the term abortion to accommodate the argument. | ||
| And by the way, just to my point, even Planned Parenthood acknowledges that, for example, treating an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion. | ||
| Those are different things. | ||
| It's not viable, right? | ||
| There's no way it would live. | ||
| It's not just about the viability, it's that the intention is to repair a defect with the woman's body and the miscarriage is an unintended consequence of that. | ||
| You're not going in there with the goal of ending the life. | ||
| But I also want to mention One more thing along those lines with removing a child after a miscarriage. | ||
| This is so ridiculous. | ||
| They call that an abortion. | ||
| That's like saying, imagine, you know, there are laws on the books saying that you can't bury people alive because that's murder. | ||
| No one would go, oh, so you're saying we can't bury dead people? | ||
| It's like, it's insanity. | ||
| No, yes, of course you can bury dead people. | ||
| Yes, of course you can remove a dead fetus. | ||
| Like, you can't rip a fetus apart while they're alive, or apart while they're alive. | ||
| My final thoughts on the matter are the end result of all of this is going to be an Amish future. | ||
| Well, look, the left is in favor of abortion and more likely to get abortions. | ||
| They're more likely to, although it is more rare than abortion, more likely to be in favor of puberty blockers, which many hospitals are getting rid of. | ||
| That's a trend mathematically in one simple way. | ||
| I mean, conservatives will have slightly more kids than liberals simply because liberals get abortions. | ||
| That means over a long enough period of time, the math is simple, there will be more conservatives. | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| Well, that's why I offer natalism, and I want so many people to have 10 children so they can create a whole bunch of Republicans. | ||
| I mean, look, if the left wants to get rid of their children, it's only going to mean that we're thriving. | ||
| But I think you hit the nail on the head, Seamus. | ||
| It comes to the root word, intent. | ||
| I'm not a legal scholar, but my limited knowledge of law tells me that intent has a lot to do with how things are ruled or seen. | ||
| And so look at some states where if a woman is murdered and she's carrying child, in some of those states, they are seen as two murders. | ||
| It's not just one. | ||
| And furthermore, my last point is I think that we should meet absurdity with absurdity. | ||
| And what I mean by that is if somebody is, for example, identifying as a they-them, well, should they have to work an 80-hour work week as opposed to a 40? | ||
| Should they have to pay double the taxes if they commit a Alright everybody, we're gonna go to super chat! | ||

| The important thing is, they have basically said at any moment, they can go back to any one of our 1,009 episodes and decide, retroactively, we broke the rule, and delete the show. | ||
| Which is insane. | ||
| Because we follow the rules? | ||
| Luke Grudkowski of We Are Change just posted it happened to him. | ||
| They deleted an episode from 2012. | ||
| So if you want to support our work, considering we don't know how long we'll be on YouTube, then go to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, because it is greatly appreciated. | ||
| But for now, we will read your superchats. | ||
| Shane H. Wilder says, congrats on the new swanky digs, Tim. | ||
| I'm happy to see all the new fruits of TimCast Media. | ||
| If you happen to see the TimCast playing card video, I hope you enjoyed it as much as the community did. | ||
| I didn't see it. | ||
| I didn't see it. | ||
| I'll have to look for it. | ||
| We are still, um... | ||
| We're still getting everything set up. | ||
| We, you know, when you're building stuff, you kind of just have to do it and then work out the bugs as you get through it. | ||
| So we built this big thing. | ||
| It took years. | ||
| And then we come into the studio and we're like, okay, let's go live. | ||
| Everything was preset. | ||
| We did all the sound checks and all the tests. | ||
| And then we're like, we got a little echo. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're going to get some sound. | ||
| We put some sound padding in, but we have to get a little bit more of it for tomorrow. | ||
| And, uh, you know, we're slowly going to just, you know, iron out the wrinkles here. | ||
| David Wilkins says, First comment of the new studio, I hope. | ||
| Unfortunately, it is the second comment. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Quantum Strange Quark says, Hi folks! | ||
| First at the new location, I hope. | ||
| Sorry, you were fourth? | ||
| Have you thought about creating a one-pot sample pack of your coffees? | ||
| I think we did. | ||
| I think we were thinking about doing a box of the K-Cups, is that what they're called? | ||
| Coffee cups. | ||
| Pods. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| And then putting each different flavor in there. | ||
| Alpha Turkey says, Congress is literally the enclave. | ||
| They start wars, plummet the economy, and burn the country down while they hide away in their vaults. | ||
| I mean, mansion. | ||
| Accurate. | ||
| So, Fallout, for those that don't know, is the number one show right now. | ||
| I think it's like the biggest show. | ||
| Yeah, Amazon launched it. | ||
| Dude, I'm under a rock. | ||
| I didn't even know this was out. | ||
| Yeah, it's like, so there's some controversy that they launched every episode all at once. | ||
| And everyone wanted them to do it as a weekly because it would generate more conversation. | ||
| But it's like the number one show on Amazon and basically everywhere because there's no other shows going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it is about a post-apocalyptic... It's like the games, right? | |
| Yes, post-nuclear war. | ||
| So the show, I like the show. | ||
| As a fan of Fallout, I really like the show. | ||
| What bothered me about the show is that There's two audiences. | ||
| Those who have never heard of Fallout, watching a show, completely confused and missing half of the plot points. | ||
| And the diehard fans who know literally everything that's going on. | ||
| And you can't watch the show together. | ||
| Because, like, if you don't know what a ghoul is, if you don't know what a vault... Look, they don't even mention vaults in the beginning of the show. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I didn't really play the games, but that's where everyone's living during the nuclear war. | ||
| And so all that happens is, like, the show starts, and you see people in jumpsuits. | ||
| So I understood what was going on. | ||
| But I'm watching it with my girlfriend, and she's just like, where are they? | ||
| And I'm like, oh, they're in a vault. | ||
| And she's like, what's that? | ||
| And I'm like, wow, they really didn't explain anything. | ||
| But the show is actually really good. | ||
| I do like it. | ||
| Do you know where I really want to go? | ||
| The Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia has the bunker that they built for Congress in case of a nuclear fallout, and then it got declassified. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Governor Jim Justice's family, I think, is involved or owns the company that owns the Greenbrier. | ||
| But this is something you can now go tour because they built another one, I guess? | ||
| It might be in Fallout 76, the game. | ||
| Really? | ||
| It might be, I don't know. | ||
| The hotel looks really beautiful, but the fact that they were like, the mountains of West Virginia, that's where we're headed. | ||
| I think the Greenbrier is. | ||
| So, Fallout 76 is basically all of Central and Western West Virginia. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| And there's an expansion where you can go to Harpers Ferry, too. | ||
| That's so cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, if something does go wrong, like, this is where you want to be. | ||
| Like, there are more guns than people. | ||
| It's mountainous, so we're protected from, like, radioactive fallout and stuff like that. | ||
| Alright, let's go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's, uh, what is this? | |
| Domagod says, Tim is finding the secret ingredient to the Krabby Fatty secret formula, one whole stick of butter. | ||
| I think that's a reference to a segment I did earlier. | ||
| Some fat activist's husband left her, they had a divorce, because the daughter ate a stick of butter. | ||
| That's where she drew the line. | ||
| That was just the straw that broke the camel's back. | ||
| No, the husband left. | ||
| Oh, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. | ||
| And he was like, you're teaching our daughter bad habits? | ||
| He was like, my daughter ate a stick of butter. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| I would hope they could work it out, but yeah, that's bad. | ||
| She said the kids can eat anything they want. | ||
| That's bad. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That's really bad, man. | ||
| That's so sad. | ||
| Voice the People says, why did the HAVV site stop reporting when it got called out? | ||
| Also check Kansas around the same time the executive order was signed. | ||
| So one of the other questions about The Help America Vote verification, one of the other potential theories. | ||
| Joe Biden passed this executive order, enacted it in, was it March 7th of 2021? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| That basically said any federal agency can register voters, can create IDs for the voters that satisfy voter laws. | ||
| And so one of the theories is that the reason why we're seeing all of these registrations is that Texas isn't doing it. | ||
| It's the federal government doing it in Texas and then requesting, as I say, verify these, and they've not yet logged those registrations with Texas. | ||
| Like Texas is going to get a big jump in their voter rolls at some point. | ||
| Triton's the worst. | ||
| That's just not fun. | ||
| Ms. | ||
| Mary says, how long did it take to relocate all of Ian's crystals to the new location? | ||
| They haven't been. | ||
| They haven't been. | ||
| There are no crystals. | ||
| Marry a crystal. | ||
| He told them to follow him here. | ||
| Yeah, and it's not. | ||
| We're not gonna. | ||
| Not this time. | ||
| This table will not have junk accumulating on it. | ||
| Like, every time someone comes, they give me a book. | ||
| So there's basically a bookshelf on the old table. | ||
| And then we have a table stacked with all the books. | ||
| And I'm like, I don't know what to do with them, but thank you for the book. | ||
| Now if you bring a book, we're throwing it right in the furnace. | ||
| No, I think we're going to put a bookshelf. | ||
| And then every time someone brings a book, we'll put the book in. | ||
| They have like a home for them. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| I like setting them on fire. | ||
| I think it's funnier. | ||
| We just do book burning of our guests. | ||
| We have a magnesium drum. | ||
| We just throw it in. | ||
| Oh, thank you. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We'll grab some more Super Chats. | ||
| Isaiah S. says, asking for prayers of strength for my wife and child. | ||
| She has been diagnosed with preeclampsia at 25 weeks of pregnancy. | ||
| I'm going to officially be a father months sooner than expected. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That's so scary. | ||
| Do you know the only way to stop preeclampsia is to deliver the baby? | ||
| What is preeclampsia? | ||
| Breaklampsia is like dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy and some women are presupposed to it but other people it's just a sort of kind of random onset. | ||
| It's really dangerous and you know you risk the mother's health, the baby's health and again so for some women they'll be trying to treat them with medication, some women they go on like bed rest but As far as I know, the only true cure for preeclampsia is to have the baby, so to have it happen so early in pregnancy is so scary. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| We're going to pray for you. | ||
| We're going to pray for you. | ||
| The Christian Conservative says the new camera looks like a new graphics update in a video game. | ||
| Doesn't it look crazy? | ||
| We're like streaming at like triple the bandwidth. | ||
| The cameras are like super high quality fixed lens cameras with a better frame rate. | ||
| You can see how ugly I am. | ||
| I mean, you could see how ugly I am, but now it's even more detailed. | ||
| We still do have to configure a little bit of how it's going through and everything, but... It's cool to be in here after so long. | ||
| Like, if someone asked me before the show, like, are you excited to be in the new studio? | ||
| I was like, feels like a myth, doesn't feel real until I'm there. | ||
| We've been in the new studio, like, dozens of times over the past couple of months because it's been here, but just... Like, I think the last thing we did was the lights. | ||
| So we had really, really great lights, and then we needed to add backlights. | ||
| It looks great, man. | ||
| I haven't been here since they hung drywall. | ||
| I mean, you guys have been here because you're working at it. | ||
| I have no technical skill, so I was kept away. | ||
| But, uh, no, it's very cool to see it all come together. | ||
| We need trim on the, uh... We had LED strips on the... at the corner of the... where the roof meets the ceiling. | ||
| We took those out, and now it just looks bare. | ||
| So we gotta put some trim up there. | ||
| But we're, you know, it's all good. | ||
| It's all good. | ||
| The skate park's the cool part. | ||
| You can see through the window right behind me, like right there. | ||
| Yeah, that's fun. | ||
| Big open space. | ||
| There's actually a third floor above us. | ||
| And, uh, the pool table's coming. | ||
| We're setting up the poker show. | ||
| Everything's, everything's, everything's coming up Milhouse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Classic. | |
| That was for Seamus and Richie. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I know Richie heard that. | ||
| Seamus and Richie just can quote every... Classic Simpsons. | ||
| We go back and forth. | ||
| When does it stop being Classic Simpsons? | ||
| She's in 10. | ||
| It's debated, but yeah, 10, 11, around then. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Is there a specific change? | ||
| Yeah, it just, that's when it really starts to get to the point where it's not very good. | ||
| So those early seasons were fantastic. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of people say the Principal and the Paupers, that episode where they really jumped the shark. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Did the writing team change? | ||
| Did the producer change? | ||
| It slowly changed over the years, and it's not like it all got bad all at once. | ||
| It was still good at that point, it just wasn't at its peak, and then it just slowly declined, and then by the time you get to seasons 15, 16, 17, it's really not very good. | ||
| It's kind of gotten good again. | ||
| Has it? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, it's actually gotten a bit better. | ||
| Now they're on season 35, which is nuts. | ||
| You're still watching it? | ||
| I don't watch it regularly, but I'll check in now and again just to watch, you know? | ||
| And I gotta say, Julia Kavner just sounds so old. | ||
| The woman who voices Marge, she's like, Oh, Marge! | ||
| She's so horrible! | ||
| She is old! | ||
| I know, but you feel for her. | ||
| All they gotta do is go back to seasons one through nine, Upload them all into an AI. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Press go. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Dude, we're going to get to that point. | ||
| There's going to be classic Simpsons AI. | ||
| Well, you've seen the AI music. | ||
| I have not. | ||
| You haven't. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I played the one song for you earlier. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. | ||
| I did not know that that was all AI. | ||
| I thought it was like, you made that song and it made the voice sound different. | ||
| Like, it made all of that. | ||
| I took Trump's truth social post and put it into suno.ai, I think it is, and then typed in epic vocal male rock opera. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And it made that. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I thought we were a couple years out. | ||
| I genuinely think we're probably a year away to where you will be able to go to AI and say, make an episode of The Simpsons where Homer wins the space lottery with Kang and Kodos. | ||
| And it will just make it. | ||
| You're going to say, make Simpsons circa season 17, or circa season 3, or circa season 35. | ||
| Yeah, you're going to say an episode of The Simpsons where Bart finds a golden ring on the ground and then becomes Gollum. | ||
| Yeah, and then becomes Gollum and in the style of season three. | ||
| And it will do it. | ||
| I wonder what kind of constraints they're going to put on that because IP holders will say you have no right to create something that looks so similar to what I'm making. | ||
| Yeah, so already with the music, so it's UDIO, U-D-I-O, if you put like, make me a song about communism being bad in the style of All That Remains. | ||
| It'll give you, a prompt will appear and it'll say replacing All That Remains with metalcore, heavy metal, male vocalists screaming, and so it basically takes the description of All That Remains and removes the copyrighted terms. | ||
| So if you said, make me a Simpsons show, I'd be like, we can't do that. | ||
| It's copyrighted. | ||
| But if you said, make me a cartoon about a, you know, a yellow family, you know, three kids. | ||
| And someone will jailbreak, you know, someone will make some illegal version that you can make anything. | ||
| Oh, I'll tell you this right now. | ||
| Shout out to Mid Journey. | ||
| They'll probably end up, I'm probably ruining something for a lot of people. | ||
| So Mid Journey banned politics. | ||
| You can't make images of Biden and Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, that's sad. | |
| Those were so fun. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| You still can. | ||
| It's really easy. | ||
| I just typed in golden-haired president. | ||
| And it makes Trump. | ||
| Here's the funny thing though. | ||
| What are you typing to get Biden? | ||
| Okay, now here's the funny thing. | ||
| If you type in aviator sunglasses president, you get Obama. | ||
| If you type in aviator sunglasses vice president, you get Joe Biden. | ||
| But I think it's because the training data has more images of Vice President Biden than President Biden. | ||
| Sure, he was Vice President for 8 years. | ||
| But so I tried, I wanted to make an image of Paladin Trump. | ||
| I tweeted it too, it was funny. | ||
| And it was like, denied. | ||
| Denied. | ||
| And so I put golden haired president in golden armor with big sword. | ||
| And it made Trump in golden armor. | ||
| There's the funny thing. | ||
| I tweeted it out, and I put cry harder libs, and it got a ton of retweets, and the left went nuts, and they were like, you're an occult, and they're screaming at me. | ||
| And so then, of course, I waited a little bit, and then I made Joe Biden super ripped with massive muscles, and the left still said, screw you, you stupid, you're an And I'm like, you can't please. | ||
| They don't like Joe Biden super ripped. | ||
| They don't like Donald Trump. | ||
| They like a frail, weak Biden. | ||
| That's their preference. | ||
| Well, I think AI is the future of politics. | ||
| Like, you know how somebody will say, I'm a new citizen, and I'll pop out of the shadows | ||
| and I'll be like, are you registered to vote at your current address? | ||
| And it goes viral. | ||
| I want Elon to grant me access to Grok. | ||
| And I want to turn Grok into the voter registration tool of the 21st century, where whenever somebody | ||
| says like, I live in Pennsylvania, Trump, I can have AI be like, are you registered | ||
| to vote at your current address? | ||
| And then put the pavoterservices.pa.gov. | ||
| But then furthermore, think about this for a second. | ||
| What if somebody said, Scott, I want to donate to your organization, earlyvoteaction.com, and I don't have the bandwidth or power to reply to everybody and be like, here's my website. | ||
| I can have AI. | ||
| Make me money by like replying to people and be like here's Scott's website like why are we not doing that? | ||
| I think those things are good. | ||
| The thing is I end up not trusting AI. | ||
| I'm like this is a great idea I can't I'm gonna be sad when it gets corrupted and someone takes it over and ruins it like that all of us technology to me is It can be so cool and powerful on the other hand it can terrifying. | ||
| It's terrifying. | ||
| It's scary but Powerful, which I think is a dangerously awesome combo. | ||
| Yeah All right, let's grab some more. | ||
| Jen Gar says, Seamus inspired me to explore religion and let God into my life. | ||
| Everything has been significantly better since then. | ||
| Good to see him back on the show. | ||
| Oh, God bless you. | ||
| Thank you for saying that. | ||
| Is that like your mom writing in? | ||
| Shots fired. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| Of course I'm happy Seamus is back. | ||
| I mean, maybe. | ||

| No, the Democrats, oh my gosh, they think they're being clever. | ||

| Thank you. | ||
| I will take that compliment to the bank. | ||
| Do they think Brooke Shields is, like, ugly or something? | ||
| No, I'm not trying to insult you. | ||

| Kenny Michael Alania says, Ben Shapiro today said, being America first or an isolationist is anti-Semitism. | ||
| What do you guys think about his statement? | ||
| Did he actually say that? | ||
| I didn't hear him say that. | ||
| I don't know what he said. | ||
| If he actually, that's a ridiculous statement. | ||
| So I can say this. | ||
| I will not address Ben Shapiro in that because I don't know that he said that. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But I will address the statement that being America first or isolationist is anti-Semitism and say it's not. | ||
| It would be silly to say otherwise. | ||
| I kind of don't believe Ben would have said that. | ||
| If he did, he's wrong. | ||
| Supporting your country has nothing to do with being Jewish or opposed to Judaism. | ||
| What if you were like, America should not be involved with Japan? | ||
| It's like, you're anti-semitic! | ||
| Because you don't want to fund Japanese people? | ||
| I don't understand what that means. | ||
| Just no. | ||
| Just no. | ||

| You get like an IV bag, but, uh, I've been actually doing really well tracking my macros and, um, exercising every day, regularly doing between either 500 and 1500 calories per, per session with exercise. | ||
| And that's like every day, but one day out of the week. | ||
| So it's like six days out of the week. | ||

Doing pretty good. | |

| We got the new space. | ||
| We're getting, what is it called? | ||
| A power cage? | ||
| I think that's what it's called. | ||
| What is a power cage? | ||
| We had one at the castle. | ||
| It's the, it's like that, it's like the rack where you can put the weights on it and you can pull and build stuff. | ||
| So we had one before, but we're getting a new one here and got the treadmill and all this stuff. | ||
| Super excited. | ||
| There's a skate park right behind me. | ||
| I was skating earlier. | ||
| I was having a blast. | ||
| Good fun. | ||
| Let's grab some more Super Chats. | ||
| What do we have here? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, that one's interesting. | |
| Let's see, what is that? | ||
| Mars says, Hamas are Zionists since they recognize Israel exists because you can't want to destroy something that doesn't exist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Aha! | |
| Got him! | ||
| Marani says, I just want to remind everybody of Omerta by Lamb of God, which came out in 2004. | ||
| Quote, whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. | ||
| Whoever cannot take care of himself without the law is both. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Aaron says, spin UFO for $90,000 bushings, courtesy of Congresswoman Waltz Florida. | ||
| Actually, we don't currently have the duster to spin the UFO. | ||
| The UFO did make it, though. | ||
| That's the one thing I was like, I'm leaving in the morning. | ||
| I'm like, I am taking this. | ||
| But we don't have the duster to spin it. | ||
| So did the UFO... the UFO's from the last studio. | ||
| Was it at the studio before that? | ||
| We have had the UFO since the start of the show. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| Yeah, this is the second UFO, though. | ||
| Yeah, and there's been, like, this is the, it's interesting, like, as the IRL community, IRL grows, like, this is the fifth studio? | ||
| So we had the basement, Deptford basement. | ||
| Deptford, it was an extension room. | ||
| From there, we moved to Attic. | ||
| Then we had the last studio. | ||
| So this is number five. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| Yeah, this is the fifth IRL studio. | ||
| And this will probably be it forever. | ||
| It would be hard to top. | ||
| I mean, it's... And it's also like a massive building and a massive undertaking on a massive property with multiple, you know, other offices and stuff. | ||
| So, a lot of cool stuff. | ||
| I'm excited for Shane Cashman's Tales from the Inverted World Live. | ||
| So, I will stress this. | ||
| Become a member at TimCast.com if you have conspiracies, ghost stories, supernatural encounters. | ||
| Shane's show is going to be taking callers who tell these stories and then exploring Like what they could have been. | ||
| So it could be someone telling a ghost story. | ||
| It could be someone claiming that they've encountered Bigfoot. | ||
| That's pretty cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Do you know when that's launching? | ||
| Uh, no. | ||
| It's ready to go. | ||
| I think it's mostly ready to go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| And the idea for the show is that when you super chat, the lights will flicker. | ||
| And then after like a hundred thousand super chats, a low rumbling thunderstorm starts and the lights go dim. | ||
| And so it's like your super chats interact with the show and make it darker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's pretty cool. | |
| It feeds the aesthetic and vibe. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| Yeah, because like, pop culture crisis, when you super chat, money guns shoot money into the air, and then every hundred dollars, like, sirens go off. | ||
| And it's just chaos. | ||
| It's hard because if you're making a point, then you get interrupted by like, what feels like dolphin screeching, but it's like different jingles and stuff. | ||
| Not that the jingle isn't good. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The Sinister Sibling says, Tim, Scott, have you seen the controversy Tony Gonzalez got himself into? | ||
| I hope the situation gives Brandon Herrera the run of victory. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| What happened? | ||
| So Tony Gonzalez is the San Antonio congressman in Texas. | ||
| You know, this is a border state. | ||
| He's there in San Antonio, which you would think he would be all for securing the border and stopping illegal immigration. | ||
| And he called, I think it was Congressman Bob Goode, who was a Virginia congressman who was a part of the Freedom Caucus. | ||
| He called him a Nazi. | ||
| And this is a veteran. | ||
| You know, this is someone who has served our country. | ||
| This is a part of the Freedom Caucus with Scott Perry, etc. | ||
| And to have another Republican call someone and use the narrative of the left is just, you know, beyond the appeal. | ||
| And I think it was Eli Crane, who's a congressman in Arizona, who just said, Brandon, you know, consider this another endorsement to your list. | ||
| And I think we're going to see more and more Republicans speak out against Gonzalez because that has no place within our- Why are you going to help the left? | ||
| Why are you going to when we have a one-seat majority in the House of Representatives? | ||
| Aiden, abet them. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Iggy the Incubus says, it's crazy how quickly anti-Semitism became in vogue for the same people who swore up and down that Trump was a less intelligent reincarnation of the crazy German mustache man. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yo, it's crazy. | ||
| It was funny because Ian brought up that there's like an AI translation of Hitler speeches, like Joe Rogan had played it. | ||
| So we ended up playing it, and I'm like, wow, you really can't appreciate the insanity of the man. | ||
| You can appreciate the insanity through history, but actually hearing his speech in a language you understand, I'm like, wow, he was plum nuts. | ||
| It's like, obviously the guy was crazy. | ||
| It's also fascinating how people ate up his speech. | ||
| When you listen to his speech, you're like, it's incoherent. | ||
| Psychobabble. | ||
| But the kids were like, he has the riz. | ||

I think that... No, I think it was like... It's the worst thing. | |
| It's Adolf Rissler, Hannah Clarke. | ||
| I think things were so bad in Weimar, Germany that you get a guy promising you sweet nothings no matter how crazy it sounds and people went along with it. | ||
| Intense desperation. | ||
| Yeah, it's like hearing that speech was a real different understanding of just like... | ||
| It's kind of crazy how people can fall for this insanity. | ||
| But then you look at these videos from Columbia where the guy's like, repeat after me! | ||
| I'm bored! | ||
|

|
And they all do! | |
| They all just do it! | ||
| And I'm like, that's scary. | ||
| That's scary, man. | ||
| These people are nuts. | ||
| Larissa Danell says, I heart Scott's accent. | ||
| It's the best American accent. | ||

Where's it from? | |
| I spent so much time in Wisconsin. | ||
| It just rubbed off on me. | ||
| So yeah, shout out to my Culver's people, my cheese curds, my custard. | ||
| Tell me about it. | ||
| And Sheetz now has cheese curds. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| They do have it now? | ||
| Sheetz has cheese curds. | ||
| It's really good. | ||
| Cheese curds, huh? | ||
| Oh, like we had Culver's in Chicago, man. | ||
| A Butterburger? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Culver's aren't out here, though, I don't think? | ||
| Well, and in Chicago they have Portillo's, too. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| Oh, Portillo's is the best. | ||
| No, Culver's is spreading. | ||
| Like, it's in Florida now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think the thing with Portillo's is that the owners didn't want to spread it around, so there's only a couple in, like, California, but they're mostly in Chicago. | ||
| And I think it's because they had family out there, so they're like, we'll open two out here. | ||
| But for those that don't know the glory that is Portillo's Barnelli's, man. | ||
| Cake shake. | ||
| The chocolate cake shake. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You gotta go to Chicago. | ||
| When I first started working here, you were ordering Portillo's a lot. | ||
| I couldn't tell. | ||
| Yeah, we ordered overnight. | ||
| I'm like, oh, dude, people don't know the glory that is Portillo's. | ||
| So the beef dip. | ||
| What is it, like Italian roll with beef, peppers, and then you dip the whole thing in gravy. | ||
| So here's a secret. | ||
| In Chicago, I don't know if this is outside of Chicago, this gravy bread, do you know what gravy bread is? | ||
| So it's when you take an Italian roll and you dunk it in gravy and then eat it. | ||
| And then, but that's also a product of the Italian beef sandwich is, it's like Italian beef with different kinds of peppers. | ||
| And then you take the whole thing and you dip it real quick. | ||
| So back in the day, apparently the bread was stale and they were poor. | ||
| So they were like, how do you revitalize old bread? | ||
| Dip it real quick in the gravy and call it a dip. | ||
| And so that's why they do it. | ||
| Figure it out. | ||

|
That's cool. | |
| See, this is the thing that I actually love about America so much is that we have regional culture and it's developed by the people who are there and who stay there and who, you know, craft and protect it in that respect. | ||
| And I wish that we appreciated that more because we're such a huge geographic nation and we had so many influences make us who we are. | ||
| I think it's easy for people to be like, America has nothing or they don't do whatever, like to be cynical about it. | ||
| You just, you don't know. | ||
| We don't appreciate it. | ||
| Well, I know we didn't cover the Sheetz story, but since Biden is attacking Sheetz, which by the way, if you don't know what Sheetz is, it's a quick trip. | ||
| It's a made to order food convenience store, but also a gas station, almost kind of like a Buc-ee's, but not a Buc-ee's. | ||
| And so Biden's coming after it. | ||
| And so you know what we need to do? | ||
| We need to have gas station Sheetz voter registration all across the United States. | ||
| No, I'm serious. | ||
| I'm not joking. | ||
| So here's the crazy thing. | ||
| The EEOC filed that suit against Sheetz the day Biden went to Sheetz to get a milkshake. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Biden went to Sheetz to get a milkshake and he's like, they're racist, man. | |
| He's like, oh, I'm black and white. | ||
| And the guy goes, well, you just order it yourself. | ||
| For I do you don't Biden didn't understand that most places are kiosks now. | ||
| So the guy working there is like thanks for coming. | ||
| And then Biden tried to order but you order by going punching into a machine. | ||
| So did he sue them because they made him look stupid? | ||
| Like is that what would happen is a vacation. | ||
| They said questionable. | ||
| They sued him because they said that if you don't hire criminals, you're racist. | ||
| I am not exaggerating. | ||
| They said that Sheetz does criminal background checks before hiring people, which disproportionately restricts black and brown people from being able to get jobs. | ||
| Shame it's just Facebook. | ||
| Why would you say that? | ||
| Why would Joe Biden? | ||
| If they convict Donald Trump, then we need to hire him as president, according to Joe Biden. | ||
| Otherwise it's racist. | ||
