| Comedian Andrew Schultz recently had Donald Trump on his podcast. | ||
| And following this, one of his shows got canceled. | ||
| The venue was like, you know, not for us, not for us. | ||
| We don't know for sure that he got canceled because he interviewed Donald Trump. | ||
| But what's interesting is that he said following the interview, he started getting looks on the street from people who were giving him that nod. | ||
| And he's like, you know, man, Trump's gonna win in a landslide. | ||
| Now, I suppose it would be embarrassing if that doesn't happen, but I don't think he cares. | ||
| He's a comedian, so he's trying to be shocking and funny. | ||
| But the reason why I think this is interesting is with everything going on right now, when you've got – Andrew Schultz is not some right-wing conservative political guy. | ||
| He's just a comedian. | ||
| He's well-known. | ||
| He goes on Joe Rogan. | ||
| He's got a podcast. | ||
| Joe doesn't go in this territory. | ||
| But Andrew Schultz is more of like a normal guy. | ||
| You know, he's not afraid to be offensive. | ||
| But when he's saying that he's seeing regular people, this reminds me of 2016. | ||
| That's why I think it's worth talking about. | ||
| I heard from a lot of friends of mine that they said as much as the media kept saying Hillary Clinton was going to win, on the ground, they kept seeing Trump signs and regular people. | ||
| And they were for Donald Trump. | ||
| I don't think this is because she was bombing the interview, but she was late to the interview in the first place. | ||
| I think it's because they didn't have enough time. | ||
| But why she went on Fox News in the first place, I don't know. | ||
| But Democrat media is actually making fun of Brad Bair for some reason. | ||
| Now, the real big story from today, which is rather silly, is that Biden and Obama were seen talking to each other at a funeral. | ||
| And everyone's trying to lip read what they were saying because it sounds like they're saying something like Kamala Harris can't win. | ||
| We don't know for sure because people, you're not really a lip reader, but everyone thinks they are. | ||
| So we're going to talk about all that. | ||

| I'm with the Postmillennial and Human Events. | ||
| Seamus Coughlin, creator, founder of Freedom Tunes. | ||
| If you guys want to go over there, we just released a video today that people are loving about what Kamala's strategy is going to be moving forward, how she can still win. | ||
| Your magnum opus. | ||
| You might say so. | ||
| You tell me that every week. | ||
| Every week. | ||
| We just keep doing better. | ||
| We just keep doing better. | ||
| This is why I swear. | ||
| They just keep getting better and better. | ||
| I only send you that like once a month because once a month, you know, we try to top ourselves. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| He's like, Tim, can you retweet this? | ||
| It's my magnum opus. | ||
| I never say that. | ||
| That's just a thinly veiled subtext. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Here's the story from the Daily Beast. | ||
| Andrew Schultz predicts landslide Trump win after podcast appearance. | ||
| Well, I know many of you, you're saying, well, who is this guy? | ||
| He's just some comedian. | ||
| What does he matter? | ||
| He matters substantially more than like all the pollsters and pundits. | ||
| Sorry, that's true. | ||
| Now, I will admit... | ||
| Andrew Schultz may be the first guy to say something like, yo, I'm just a comedian on a podcast. | ||
| I don't know what I'm talking about. | ||
| So he does an interview with Donald Trump. | ||
| And then he says that he starts getting these looks. | ||
| He's saying it's not close anymore. | ||
| Before he came on, I was like, he ain't got no chance. | ||
| He's coming on here. | ||
| He's got to be down bad. | ||
| Then he says, in a newly posted recap, afterwards, since the interview uploaded, he's gotten to peek into just how many people still support Trump. | ||
| It was the looks on the street. | ||
| It was like, you know, when someone who's trying to sell you drugs, they give you this nod, he explained. | ||
| That's all I've been getting for the last week. | ||
| I think there are a lot of secret Trump voters. | ||
| And the reason why I think this story actually matters more than more than pundits, podcasters. | ||
| Look, we're obviously in support of Donald Trump. | ||
| Critical of Kamala Harris. | ||
| The Democrats are clearly critical of Trump supporting Kamala Harris. | ||
| So most people assume, yeah, of course, the people on the right are going to say, I think Trump's going to win. | ||
| The people on the left saying Kamala is going to win. | ||
| When you look at the pundits and the pollsters, they're weighted. | ||
| The pollsters are always biased in favor. | ||
| They're usually biased in favor of Democrats and pundits are going to go in the same direction. | ||
| So I actually think it's important to look to look to normies because this is who Trump and Kamala are trying to convince. | ||
| Andrew Schultz, funny guy, not overtly political, interviews Donald Trump. | ||
| It's kind of a funny show. | ||
| And afterwards, he says the reaction was massively positive. | ||
| What we would have expected in the culture war was that somebody would be like, oh, I can't interview Trump because it's going to be the end of my career. | ||
| Now it's, wow, people are giving me nods on the street. | ||
| It is inverted from where we were oh so long ago. | ||
| You combine this with the failure of the Fox News interview that Kamala Harris had and the current poly market showing Donald Trump is up in the betting odds. | ||
| About 23 points in aggregate, up like 16 or 17% on RealClearPolitics. | ||
| And I think it's fair to say, regular people ignore the noise, ignore the pundits, regular people outright are saying it's a Donald Trump victory. | ||
| Now I know immediately everyone's gonna be like, you better get out and vote and don't assume Donald Trump's gonna win, but I'm curious if you guys agree on that assessment. | ||
| Well, I think it was very interesting. | ||
| There was a long profile piece in The Guardian today talking about how this sentiment, I think, is shared not just among the comedians of the world, but a lot of Democrats, state and local officials have been already sort of creating and drafting contingency plans should President Trump, when they're melting down, that mass deportations may materialize along with a lot of his other policies. | ||
| And it's sort of a more flushed out version of what people may know. | ||
| That was the Transition Integrity Project back in 2020, where they were focused on trying to make sure that President Trump couldn't win. | ||
| But now they're more focused on what would happen if he did win. | ||
| So I think there's a significant tell there. | ||
| And of course, the Axios scoop that broke last week, showing that a lot of House Democrats are already sort of gossiping behind the scenes, saying that they may refuse to certify election results. | ||
| Yeah, that was fascinating. | ||
| Right, with Jamie Raskin being the top quote. | ||
| He said it. | ||
| Raskin said in February, we will not certify a Trump victory. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| But there's a lot of movement, I think, coming from the GOP, the RN, so state-level GOPs, and then the RNC coming to try to prevent election fraud, which we're obviously all very critical of. | ||
| But there's a lot of interesting, I think, developments on the front, particularly of the overseas vote. | ||
| Mainstream media is melting down that GOP, RNC committee members are suing over that. | ||
| But I do think it is concerning to me that Oh, that's crazy. | ||
| How does that work? | ||
| Peter Schweitzer is a great, great journalist. | ||
| So I think when you see numbers like that, you know, it sort of comes back to the question of, you know, I wish it were a fair election, but it's more, I always call it ballot warfare than it is a free and fair vote. | ||
| That's a really good way of putting it, ballot warfare. | ||
| I said this on the show. | ||
| I said that exact thing on the show yesterday, actually. | ||
| I called it ballot warfare. | ||
| Yeah, she actually stole your quote. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I did a ballot warfare special edition of War Room many months ago. | |
| I'm totally messing with you. | ||
| I stole that from you. | ||
| But at least I didn't steal an election, right? | ||
| So, what I was saying yesterday was, even if it looks like Trump is ahead, we gotta get out there and we gotta vote. | ||
| Like, every illegal alien is voting. | ||
| Like, they're harvesting ballots, right? | ||
| We need to just prepare for the absolute worst case scenario. | ||
| It's gotta be too big to rig. | ||
| It's gotta be too big to rig. | ||
| Well, that's the most fascinating thing about this election, and that's what I've been talking to a lot of people about, is no one hasn't made up their mind who they like better. | ||
| You know, maybe there's like five people in the entire country who are like, oh, I don't know, Kamala Trump, I don't know. | ||
| Which one would it be? | ||
| So the entire effort is about getting people out to vote for your guy. | ||
| That's what's been so amazing about like what Charlie Kirk is doing with Turning Point Action. | ||
| Have you seen some of the footage of him going to these universities? | ||
| He had like a 22- Stop tour of universities this fall, colleges and universities. | ||
| And if you've been following his work, like the past couple of years, he goes out and there's a ton of protesters. | ||
| Now he goes out and he convinces kids that they want to vote for Trump. | ||
| And then they throw MAGA hats at everybody and everyone's cheering for Trump. | ||
| And they're like, wait, I want to buy a house. | ||
| I don't want illegal immigrants taking my job. | ||
| To your point, exactly that. | ||
| You used to see these big protests when they would do these college events. | ||
| Now it's mostly young guys going like, Trump, yeah, and there's very few dissidents arguing with them. | ||
| And they're not very good at arguing with them. | ||
| They try, but they can't actually maintain a point because they don't have enough information. | ||
| But look, following the Kamala Harris bomb of an interview on Fox News, which no sane person thinks she did well. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Anybody who says she did well, Mark Cuban is lying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't get it. | |
| What is going on with him? | ||
| You could say, if you were pro-Kamala, you could say that Bret Baier was harassing her. | ||
| No, but he so wasn't. | ||
| I don't agree with it, but we were joking about it before the show. | ||
| That's what people are saying. | ||
| People are like, oh, he was in her face, and he was rude, and all of this stuff, and she came off right after the interview. | ||
| But you said you could say that. | ||
| You could say that. | ||
| You can't say that. | ||
| People have been saying it's a victory for her. | ||
| Of course they are, but there's no basis for saying that. | ||
| Brett Baer's first question was, how many illegal immigrants do you think your administration has released in this country since it began? | ||
| That's a straightforward, basic question. | ||
| None of these are gotchas. | ||
| And I'll explain. | ||
| A gotcha is when, if Brett Baer said... | ||
| You've said that Donald Trump is unstable. | ||
| And she goes, yes, he is. | ||
| Do you think that if a president is showing these behaviors of instability or mental decline, the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove them? | ||
| And she goes, absolutely. | ||
| And then he goes, like Joe Biden, when you noticed he was in mental decline. | ||
| Why didn't you? | ||
| That's how you gotcha. | ||
| He didn't do any of that. | ||
| No, I agree with you on that. | ||
| It's only a gotcha because her record sucks. | ||
| Yeah, her record sucks, so it's a gotcha. | ||
| It's not a gotcha. | ||
| I agree with you on that because I really wanted him to press her not on the questions that he wanted to ask, but on the answers she was giving. | ||
| Like when he said, you know, what would you turn the page on? | ||
| And she basically said rhetoric and mean tweets. | ||
| Which is hilarious. | ||
| How about you press on that, Brett? | ||
| Like, what is she talking about? | ||
| What lasts 10 years? | ||
| She's been in office for three and a half. | ||
| Trump's been out of office. | ||
| She's complaining that he's been running this whole time. | ||
| But that's because Biden and Kamala Harris suck. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, press her on her answers. | ||
| And instead, he was really married to what he wanted to ask instead of what she was saying. | ||
| I think that's totally fair. | ||
| I think he also probably knew that he wasn't going to have that much time with her, and so he wanted to get to a number of different questions. | ||
| There were a few issues, but overall, I think he did a pretty good job. | ||
| Again, I also would have appreciated it if he pressed her more, but it's easy for me to Monday morning quarterback him when he was sitting across from the vice president. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I mean, you do interviews. | ||
| You know how to do an interview. | ||
| I've never interviewed Kamala Harris. | ||
| I don't think I could talk to her. | ||
| My ears would be like Trump's ears. | ||
| They'd be covered in bandages after I spoke to that woman for a half hour. | ||
| Well, she is hard to listen to. | ||
| Yeah, she's very hard to listen to. | ||
| I just want to make this one point about the interview. | ||
| One of the issues is that Kamala, she hasn't figured out how to brand herself. | ||
| They're going back and forth between the adults are back in charge and I'm anti-establishment and I'm going to change things. | ||
| Biden was really clearly the establishment candidate. | ||
| He was proud of that. | ||
| They discussed him in those terms. | ||
| She's trying to discuss this as if she's an anti-establishment candidate, but she's from the current administration. | ||
| And one final note I'll add is all the people who are saying she looked good in this interview think that men can get pregnant. | ||
| So their opinions don't really matter. | ||
| They're not in contact with reality. | ||
| All that matters is the agenda. | ||
| That's what we're dealing with. | ||
| The counter-programming from MSNBC was that Brett was – or people were saying that Kamala looked angry. | ||
| They're saying it was because Americans can't handle a strong black woman because, of course, that was their initial commentary after – Also, we're all sexist, Natalie. | ||
| Well, of course. | ||
| But you know their deaths, but they also wheeled out Rachel Maddow last night to drop another, as she described, bombshell drop on President Trump having to do with trying to negotiate. | ||
| I think it was like $20,000 off of Stormy Daniels' legal bills in exchange for an NDA. That was their big scoop. | ||
| But I will say it is interesting. | ||
| Well, that convinced me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think Kamala did win that debate now. | |
| It is interesting to me, though, if you read the Jack Smith filing and I think sort of the big narrative on how they are setting up or at least kind of making us think that President Trump is going to steal the 2024 election. | ||
| This concept of a red mirage, right, turning into a blue wave. | ||
| They say that a lot of the way, again, this is like MSNBC talking, but that President Trump is trying to create the illusion of success is that, oh, we're surging in the polls, we're doing so well, which I do think is accurate and true. | ||
| But it is funny to me when I see left wing media outlets carry that narrative because they're sort of in some ways helping the Trump campaign from their perspective of being able to give the Trump campaign ground to say that if there is a red mirage right where they're ahead on election night, but then it flips because of the mass amounts of mail and ballots that always seem to cut one way with a weird statistical anomaly only for Democrats. | ||
| That's That's why, to me, I get weirded out when I see, for instance, Politico yesterday running that long profile piece about how the Harris campaign is in shambles in Pennsylvania, because I don't think Democrats typically project weakness, especially in the context of leaning into Trump's abilities to, as they would say, claim election fraud. | ||
| I think Kamala Harris even going for this Fox News interview speaks to the flailing of the campaign. | ||
| I think this is a desperate attempt by some in the Kamala Harris campaign to reach out to Republicans, but I don't think this is an effective way of doing it. | ||
| She also held a rally on this same day in Pennsylvania where she had many former Republican congressmen come and endorse her. | ||
| It was including Adam Kinzinger, Lauren Comstock, former Republicans. | ||
| But I don't think this is going to be effective for her campaign at all with this Republican outreach. | ||
| As far as the spin that we're seeing from the left with this Brett Baer interview, I'm reading a headline from the New York Times. | ||
| It says, Kamala Harris arrived for a Fox interview. | ||
| She got a debate. | ||
| That has to be the spin. | ||
| But from any other perspective, any interview that Donald Trump sits down for is at least this antagonistic. | ||
| And the interviewee would get praised for being so harsh on Trump. | ||
| Let's jump into the story from the Daily Beast. | ||
| Fox News' Brett Baier whines about Harris after bad-tempered interview. | ||
| So, he didn't. | ||
| I'll play the clip for you, and you can hear it for yourself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dana, I'll give you a little behind-the-scenes here. | |
| I know you love this, and it fits in with Dana Reid Sports. | ||
| You know, when the kicker in football, they call a timeout. | ||
| Right before he's going to kick the field goal. | ||
| They're icing the kicker. | ||
| So we were supposed to start at 5 p.m. | ||
| This was the time they gave us. | ||
| Originally, we were going to do 25 or 30 minutes. | ||
| They came in and said, well, maybe 20. | ||
| So it was already getting whittled down. | ||
| And then the vice president showed up about 5.15. | ||
| We were pushing the envelope to be able to turn it around for the top of the 6 o'clock. | ||
| So that's how it started. | ||
| And I could tell when we started talking that she was going to be tough to redirect without me trying to interrupt. | ||
| I did this with President Obama. | ||
| At one point I just said, Mr. | ||
| President, I know you like the filibuster. | ||
| I just didn't even have the chance to sometimes redirect in those ways. | ||
| So I wouldn't consider it at all to be whining, but this is how the corporate press is framing this. | ||
| I should say the Democrat media industrial complex. | ||
| The one thing I would say on this is that, you know, now that I think about it, Brett Baier probably should have just let her keep talking. | ||
| He should have asked her the question and then just shut up until she shut up, because then she would have spent 10 minutes saying not a single word. | ||
| That would be the interview. | ||
| This is one thing the media does a lot, and it's just because the left does this a lot, is they'll take words that in their estimation have been historically used to insult and dismiss women and then use them for men. | ||
| So we see this like, he was whining, he was weak. | ||
| In reality, when you watch that speech, Kamala Harris was very emotional and irrational. | ||
| People are afraid to say that because if you're calling a woman emotional and irrational, you're a sexist. | ||
| But she was. | ||
| She was being very emotional the entire time. | ||
| She couldn't answer a question without getting upset. | ||
| She was stumbling over her words. | ||
| She was clearly flustered. | ||
| And you have headlines from Newsweek saying that she dominated Bret Baier and the debate. | ||
| These people don't see language as something that exists to communicate truth. | ||
| They see it as a tool for getting what they want. | ||
| That's why they keep changing what words mean. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So they're smearing Brett Baer here. | ||
| He's whining, even though he's just stating the truth, giving some behind-the-scenes information about the interview. | ||
| They said Kamala Harris dominated, even though it was so optically horrible that she dropped four points in the betting market the day after this interview. | ||
| They're claiming that it was a debate when all he did was ask her very fair, very straightforward questions. | ||
| He didn't dig up information about her past that she wasn't prepared to discuss. | ||
| He didn't have some surprise that he was going to hit her with that she hasn't heard from some other interview. | ||
| All he did was ask really basic questions that any other journalist would have asked her if she had had access to any or more likely, I should say, if any journalist had had access to her because she has refused to speak to anyone who won't worship at the ground that she walks. | ||
| You know, you're giving her too much credit because at first she wouldn't speak to anyone, right? | ||
| Nobody, even people friendly to her. | ||
| They were really just hoping to coast right back into the White House or stay in the White House based on this whole vibe brat summer thing. | ||
| That's what they were really going for. | ||
| And it wasn't until, what, the end of August when finally she had to give an interview to, what was it, Dana Bash? | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Very desperate. | ||
| Very desperate. | ||
| So I think it does show you how desperate the surrogates are if they're unintentionally leaning into the gender stuff, trying to frame it as like, oh man was mean to woman, it's sexism. | ||
| In the same vein that I think they loved having the two female debate moderators for the VP debate. | ||
| So when J.D. Vance tried to, you know, talk over the, you know, not fact check, fact check, it was a moment of, I believe as the mainstream media called it, of mansplaining. | ||
| But they have this weird trope that they think that women for some reason are going to resonate with, you know, powerful women being spoken down to by men and having to, you know, speak back. | ||
| And I don't really know who that's resonating with except people who are squarely in the Harris camp. | ||
| I think it's resonating with people who are substantially older than Kamala Harris. | ||
| I think that resonates with people in my mom's generation. | ||
| You know, like my mom was a corporate attorney, and she spoke to me a lot about how difficult it was being like the only woman in the firm who did the kind of work that she did and etc, etc. | ||
| But she's in her 70s. | ||
| Kamala Harris is, you know, also much older. | ||
| So what is, you know... | ||
| That's not something that I think, for the most part, women of my generation or your generation or anywhere in between would really have to deal with. | ||
| That's not something we've had to deal with. | ||
| No, it's too much the opposite. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're too empowered. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Well, that speaks to a point that I want to make here, and this is probably going to be considered an offensive point by many people, but I don't care because it's obviously true. | ||
| And anyone who claims it isn't is either lying or lying to themselves. | ||
| But while it is true, That women don't want to be necessarily bossed around and told what to do by men. | ||
| What women really, really, really don't want is to be told what to do by other women. | ||
| Women do not like being bossed around by another woman. | ||
| If your wife or girlfriend or mother or any woman you've been close to has worked in an office with a female boss or female co-workers, they will express to you their displeasure in being told what to do by these other women. | ||
| So when Kamala Harris is condescending and talks down to men, women don't see that and go, oh, one point for team woman. | ||
| They look at that and they say, that's how this woman is going to be talking to me as a citizen for the next four years if she's president of the United States. | ||
| And as it turns out, women don't like being condescended to and spoken down to by other women. | ||
| Do you think that there is an inherent thing that men and women both have where they're just predisposed to prefer listening to men over women? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Ladies, who do you think? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| No. | ||
| I find most women broadcasters kind of annoying, which I'm aware is hypocritical, though. | ||
| But I mean leadership positions like... | ||
| I have a theory. | ||
| I think it's maybe more derived from people who aren't deserving of their leadership position, and I think there are more women who are in leadership positions that don't necessarily deserve those roles. | ||
| They got their own sort of false pretenses, where I think if you're a straight white dude, you had to work ten times as hard to get there. | ||
| Think about Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| Would we be having these kinds of conversations about Tulsi Gabbard leading the country? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| She's also not shrill and condescending. | ||
| I kind of think she is. | ||
| I don't think it's... | ||
| You're just sexist. | ||
| Well, she's coming for your guns. | ||
| I don't understand this fetishization we have with Tulsi Gabbard, especially on the right. | ||
| When at the base of it, so many of the... | ||
| Her gun position that you're citing like four years old. | ||
| Does she not believe in the gun position anymore? | ||
| Yeah, not anymore. | ||
| What is your current gun position? | ||
| Two or three years ago, she came out saying that she was wrong on the issue and she was doing some kind of 2A thing. | ||
| Okay, well, I disagree with her on more than just that issue, but I think on the right, generally, we're too quick to go with somebody who, hey, they wanted to come for all your guns four years ago. | ||
| We support them more than we do somebody who said, hey, I don't want to come for your guns ever for the past couple of decades, but... | ||
| Hey, no, I actually think that's fair. | ||
| The redemption idea, we love that on the right, this idea of redemption. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| The question of whether or not someone would be willing to vote for a woman has nothing to do with Kamala or Tulsi. | ||
| The question is, I think it's a fact that there are a lot of guys and women in this country who would not vote for a woman no matter who it was. | ||
| I think that's true. | ||
| Harris is not accepting or making the female part of her identity a big part of her campaign. | ||
| She never talks about it. | ||
| She never wears dresses. | ||
| She's always dressed like a dude. | ||
| You could barely tell based off, I think, of her mannerisms and a lot of the way that she acts that she's going out of her way. | ||
| Frankly, she almost comes off as gender neutral. | ||
| It's a weird spin. | ||
| Because on top of everything else, the pantsuits are beige. | ||
| I really do think gender dynamics play a role in such that we do not have the sales development for how a woman needs to be publicly loved like a Donald Trump figure. | ||
| So let me elaborate. | ||
| We have had generations upon generations of male presidential candidates and how they need to act to win favor. | ||
| We have not had that for female candidates. | ||
| I believe it is possible. | ||
| But when they send out Kamala and tell her to act like a man, it does not work. | ||
| When AOC went up at a rally and she was screaming and yelling and hooting, she got made fun of for it. | ||
| Now, for sure, you could be like, what was that, Howard Dean or whatever, who did the yeehaw? | ||
| Yeah, the whoop. | ||
| Yeah, whatever that was. | ||
| It was a yop. | ||
| It was the Howard Dean yop. | ||
| That ended his career. | ||
| Just done. | ||
| So anybody can act bad on stage. | ||
| Don't say yop. | ||
| I think it is fair that, you know, if you look at Kamala and you look at Hillary, they laugh all the time. | ||
| And I think it's because they're... | ||
| You know, focus groups or whatever. | ||
| They're like, you can't be stern like a man. | ||
| You have to laugh all the time. | ||
| And that's why the two major female contenders we've had in the past, in ever actually, have a laughing problem. | ||
| I think they're being told to do it. | ||
| I also think maybe they don't understand femininity in the same way that you see how they project what masculinity is. | ||
| I think most evidenced by that recent ad they put out, right? | ||
| They have... | ||
| They can't put their finger on the pulse of what it means is this distorted sense of it. | ||
| I think there's this kind of similar perversion in terms of their understanding of womanhood, girlhood, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| it. | ||
| Yeah, I'll add this too. | ||
| So my theory on this, because men constantly complain that people don't listen to men, women constantly complain that people don't listen to women. | ||
| My theory is it's true and false in different contexts. | ||
| So I believe that women are listened to when they complain, they're not often listened to when they offer solutions. | ||
| I think men are not listened to when they complain, but they are listened to when they offer solutions. | ||
| So when a woman is complaining, and a man who complains isn't heard, who's, He'll go, no one ever listens to us, right? | ||
| But when he starts offering solutions, he's actually more likely to be listened to. | ||
| And I think that's built into our nature as humans. | ||
| What about somebody like, you know, putting her policies aside? | ||
| What about someone with the demeanor of like Condoleezza Rice? | ||
| It's been so long since I've seen her speak. | ||
| Will men vote for her? | ||
| Yeah, would men vote for Condoleezza Rice? | ||
| She has a totally different vibe than either Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton. | ||
| I supported Tulsi Gabbard in 2019. | ||
| I thought she was the best the Democrats had to offer, and I want to see someone with a military background as commander-in-chief, as they're the commander-in-chief and chief diplomat. | ||
| But I can respect Donald Trump trade and negotiation skills, too. | ||
| That's good, but I would prefer someone who served in the military, as Tulsi has. | ||
| But regardless of all that, I still believe that there's a large portion of this country that are going to be like, I'm voting for a woman, no matter what. | ||
| And I think it transcends age and demographic. | ||
| Consciously or subconsciously? | ||
| Consciously. | ||
| Like, I can't remember who we were talking to. | ||
| Like, no one wants to vote for their mom to be president. | ||
| Who were we talking to? | ||
| Do you guys remember? | ||
| They said that they were doing Man on the Street interviews, talking to young black men. | ||
| Asked them, who were you voting for? | ||
| Was it Don Lemon? | ||
| Don Lemon was doing this. | ||
| Well, he's degrading them. | ||
| But what I heard is... | ||
| Actually, I might have been talking to Lisa about this. | ||
| These young men are like, I'm voting for Trump. | ||
| And it's like, why is that voting for Trump? | ||
| I don't want a woman president. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| That was the reason. | ||
| And if you look at stereotypes and tropes, I just think that there's going to be a lot of guys who are going to be like, no way. | ||
| Not going to happen. | ||
| You think that's an American thing? | ||
| No, I think it's a gender thing. | ||
| I don't think it matters where it comes from. | ||
| In the UK, there was Margaret Thatcher, and she had a lot of... | ||
| Did they vote directly for Margaret Thatcher, or did they vote for the party, and the party appointed her? | ||
| Yeah, they voted for the party. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What about Indira Gandhi? | ||
| Wasn't she voted for? | ||
| I'm not saying there will never be a female leader. | ||
| There are many female leaders all over the place. | ||
| No, I'm just curious about it. | ||
| I'm saying that there's a portion of the population, and it's probably transcending culture, that don't want to vote for women. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| And it's funny because this is actually a leftist opinion, though the left gets mad at me for saying it. | ||
| Women presume men to be in leadership roles. | ||
| Women will vote for a man. | ||
| Men presume women not to be in leadership roles. | ||
| Some of them will still vote for women, but a lot won't. | ||
| And I think the best example of this is, if what I was saying is wrong, the Harris campaign and her allies would not have invested so much in making multiple, I'm a man, so I'm voting for a woman. | ||
| You should too, ads. | ||
| What do they have, three or four of them now? | ||
| Well, and yeah, not just them, but like super PACs that are, you know, Exactly. | ||
| They know that there's a problem with men who will not vote for a woman, so they're trying to run ads where it's like, I'm a man, and I'm not scared of a woman, so I'm going to vote for one. | ||
| I'm like, dude, who are you convincing? | ||
| Yeah, those ads aren't convincing anybody. | ||
| They're just hysterical. | ||
| They're like SNL parody sketches. | ||
| One thing I also heard—this is another thing to consider. | ||
| Even if you're a woman who wants for there to be a woman president— We're | ||
| good to go. | ||
| And I think that that's how a lot of women feel. | ||
| I don't want it to be Kamala. | ||
| Well, and I think you wouldn't want it to be Hillary Clinton either. | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| Because in both of those situations, it's someone who is selected, not someone who came up through the ranks, you know? | ||
| It's also fair. | ||
| I mean, who was the first woman that ran for president? | ||
| Charlie Schism? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wasn't it Charlie Schism? | |
| I knew that. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| I'm super into that. | ||
| And she obviously didn't win or anything, but she was at least a candidate who was selected by her constituents. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's jump to the story from the New York Post. | ||
| We got this one. | ||
| Biden tells Obama she's not as strong as me and ex-president agrees that's true at Ethel Kennedy service. | ||
| That's not what they said. | ||
| That's presuming what they said. | ||
| So the real story is that Obama and Biden were talking to each other, but we could not hear anything they said. | ||
| Everyone's trying to pull off some lip reading. | ||
| To know the secrets. | ||
| Some have suggested that Joe Biden says something like, something about Kamala Harris and the chances, and Obama says, nope, she's done. | ||
| I don't know that he says that. | ||
| Others have said, nope, that's over. | ||
| I don't think anybody knows. | ||
| But it did look rather interesting. | ||
| Let me play the video for you. | ||
| And you can, for those that are watching, you can see. | ||
| For those that are listening, I'll just describe it. | ||
| There's no sound. | ||
| I mean, I can... | ||
| Yeah, it's just piano music. | ||
| And then... | ||
| Nope, that's not on. | ||
| He did not say that. | ||
| Like, I can't stand this body language lip-reading people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| The biggest grifters. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| They're claiming he said, no, that's not on. | ||
| His mouth does not say on. | ||
| Yeah, I heard some people say that Obama was saying it's over to Joe Biden. | ||
| That's gone. | ||
| That's done. | ||
| He's not saying on. | ||
| But it says unintelligible when you can't hear any of it. | ||
| It's like, no, but this part. | ||
| This part's unintelligible. | ||
| Maybe she can. | ||
| She's not as strong as me. | ||
| No, you know what I think he says right here? | ||
| It looks like he might be saying, by the way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I thought he said by... | ||
| So I watched this without looking at any of these lip-reading things. | ||
| He taps him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
By the way. | |
| Something, something, something. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| But this was the big... | ||
| This is the actual big story of the day. | ||
| I didn't want to lead with it because it's not anything happening. | ||
| It's a little weird. | ||
| Well, but it's like... | ||
| So what do you guys think? | ||
| The theory is that this is Obama telling Biden Kamala can't win. | ||
| So I look a lot... | ||
| I look a lot at when these guys are all giving speeches and talking and stuff because I transcribe it. | ||
| And usually I just transcribe it by hand because... | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| I hate the AI thing. | ||
| Anyways... | ||
| You can't always... | ||
| Their mouths don't look like the thing that they're saying. | ||
| It never does. | ||
| Whenever you're scanning through looking for exactly what they were saying. | ||
| I think, you know, as Seamus, you're somebody who makes people's mouths move all the time with words, so you know exactly what they said. | ||
| No, actually, that's why I know that we have no idea. | ||
| Because one of the things that they teach you in animation school, but of course I knew long before animation school, is that... | ||
| You can lip sync with a remarkably limited number of phonemes. | ||
| You only need, like, really, if you want to get really low budget, like six or seven mouth shapes that you can combine into basically anything. | ||
| You know, the fewer shapes you have, the choppier it's going to look. | ||
| But it's really, really easy to fudge that. | ||
| There's just a set number of shapes we make with our mouth and it is really, really difficult to pull words from that just based on the visual alone. | ||
| That's why bad lip readings is so popular. | ||
| They can make people say a lot of things that we know they didn't say and it's hilarious and absurd. | ||
| And there is a viral one, it's an AI audio, where Obama says that Kamala Harris is retarded. | ||
| And, you know, I actually am not amused by it because the first few seconds are actually spot on. | ||
| And I was like, it was scary how good it actually looked. | ||
| And that made me realize there probably is an AI program you could load this into, and it's going to be able to look at the way their mouths move and give you a 100% transcription. | ||
| The way all this AI stuff works is... | ||
| So you guys know how CAPTCHA works? | ||
| It'll be like, before you can go to this website, you gotta type in this word. | ||
| What you're actually doing is not passing a test. | ||
| You're teaching the AI. The company is using you as free labor to transcribe visual text into the word to tell the computer what the word is. | ||
| With that massive decentralized labor force, AI has been able to now read physical images, like actual images of written word. | ||
| If you were to load up every video ever... | ||
| With a transcription of someone talking, the AI would be able to then see what the mouth is moving and the words that are coming out. | ||
| So there is a program out there that can tell you exactly what these guys said. | ||
| You don't need a human to do it. | ||
| Whether or not this is exactly what he says, and it'll be very hard to ever get down to the truth of it at all, I think this is a sentiment within the White House, definitely within Joe Biden's staff. | ||
| As the race continues to tighten, people are trying to get ready for the case of Kamala Harris losing in their minds and they kind of want to get ahead of it. | ||
| You know, Joe Biden is filled with rage that the idea that he probably had just as good a shot against Donald Trump than Kamala Harris did, all else equal. | ||
| So again, we're seeing the Kamala Harris, as we see more of the Kamala Harris campaign flailing, I think we'll see more of Joe Biden saying things like, yeah, I told you so, this was a dumb move all along. | ||
| I think it's also really just they're amping it up to be a story because I think it happens in the context of the ongoing kind of shade war between the different warring factions within the White House, right? | ||
| You got Bill Clinton like dissing Kamala Harris out on the campaign trail for what really should be a non-story, right? | ||
| It's a video that no one really knows what they're saying. | ||
| And I even think it's more interesting to suggest that right now they're like, Super buddy, buddy, or whatever, because I think it was just a few days ago, right, in Bob Woodward's new book, War, where Biden was bashing Obama, saying that it's like his fault that Ukraine has been melting down. | ||
| But yeah. | ||
| Yeah, the other piece of it, too, is that there's just, there's one giant story, and it's the election. | ||
| And no one knows what's happening with it. | ||
| No one knows what the answer is going to be. | ||
| So every day, people are just like, What's the answer going to be? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Here's an indication of what the answer might be. | ||
| But we still don't know what the answer is going to be. | ||
| So this is just part of that. | ||
| Some days, some news stories, there's one story. | ||
| That's what it's going to be like on Election Day. | ||
| We're all going to be sitting around all day going, there's one story. | ||
| We don't have the answer. | ||
| We're all glued to our... | ||
| Devices looking for it. | ||
| I'm kind of hoping it'll just be something no one expected. | ||
| Just like a totally random thing. | ||
| Condoleezza Rice gets elected somehow. | ||
| And Trump and Biden become friends and both announce their resignations. | ||
| And they're starting a theme park together. | ||
| And we're just like, what is happening? | ||
| And then George W. Bush shows up and he's like, well, I'll take the job. | ||
| And then they're like, what? | ||
| But I'll be VP. And then Condoleezza is like, I'll be president. | ||
| And they all agree. | ||
| And then we're just sitting here just... | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| Obviously, I wouldn't want either of those people to be president. | ||
| I'm just saying it would be funny if some weird random thing happened. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, well, RFK is kind of still banking on that, right? | ||
| He's like, in some universe, I could potentially be president. | ||
| That's why I didn't withdraw. | ||
| I suspended in certain states, but I'm still kind of hoping for it. | ||
| When it comes to alleged tension between the Joe Biden staff and Kamala Harris campaign, do you guys think that's more narrative or truth? | ||
| Oh, I think they probably don't like each other. | ||
| I mean, everyone knows Kamala Harris was picked because she was a black lady and had absolutely no other qualifications. | ||
| And that's got a rankle. | ||
| And then especially now that everyone kicked Joe Biden off the top of the ticket with no consideration. | ||
| And now nobody even knows if he's, you know, doing anything as part of his job. | ||
| He still talks about his cancer moonshot thing. | ||
| He did the quiet quitting. | ||
| He's really a Gen Z-er at heart. | ||
| Joe Biden, quiet quit. | ||
| So I don't know if the Kamala Harris campaign, for example, thinks like Joe Biden doing the Trump hat thing is probably him purposefully spiting them. | ||
| Same thing when he said DeSantis was doing a fine job or whatever. | ||
| Right, and DeSantis met with Biden, right? | ||
| But wouldn't meet with, wouldn't talk to Kamala Harris. | ||
| And then Kamala Harris and DeSantis were going at it. | ||
| Sure, well, do you think Joe Biden's doing this stuff on purpose or Kamala Harris is just being sensitive over all of it? | ||
| I think that it's a little of both. | ||
| I think Joe Biden's probably like, what, you got what you wanted? | ||
| Like, haven't you done enough? | ||
| Enjoy yourself, Kamala. | ||
| I hope you like it now. | ||
| There was reporting out today probing into the transition efforts of the Harris campaign. | ||
| And for most of the high-level positions, they were, I think, looking to basically ditch a lot of the Biden holdovers. | ||
| So I feel like from a political-speak standpoint, too, that sort of shows you the difference. | ||
| And, too, she said it last night on Fox. | ||
| I think the most blatantly that she ever has, you know, my administration will not be a continuation of Joe Biden. | ||
| This is a very fragile Democrat coalition we're seeing here, not only with the moderates, but also on the far left with how pro-Israel Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has been. | ||
| So we will see the knives, figurative knives, come out following election day when Kamala Harris comes just short of becoming president. | ||
| And the other thing too is Biden wasn't allowed to pick his own vice presidential running mate. | ||
| He was basically told that he had to pick a black lady. | ||
| There was a short list of women that he was allowed to choose from. | ||
| I think he put that contingency onto himself, though. | ||
| This was all a political move. | ||
| Maybe it was a political move. | ||
| He picked her because he thought it would help him win. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| No, for sure. | ||
| So it's a political calculation strictly. | ||
| He wasn't able to pick who he thought would have been a better running mate. | ||
| Well, with your vice presidential pick, I think it's all about winning when it comes down to it. | ||
| Sure, because that's the only... | ||
| I mean, ever since John Adams, like... | ||
| I mean, John Adams really did the vice presidency dirty by just saying, well, since me and George don't get along, I'm going to back off and let him do whatever he wants. | ||
| Like, that was a dumb move. | ||
| He should have actually... | ||
| He just showed up at Senate every day. | ||
| Kamala Harris has been such a consequential VP, too, with her tie-breaking of votes, so... | ||
| Sure, well, that's in the mold of John Adams. | ||
| That's what he was doing. | ||

Ah, indeed. | |
| But she's also the border czar. | ||
| Let's not forget. | ||
| Also the border czar. | ||
| Yeah, with her one call to the president of Guatemala and then her office by June saying that's not our job. | ||
| Do not come. | ||
| Do not come. | ||
| Did her job. | ||
| Yeah, crushed her. | ||
| I'll have you guys know, she was the last one in the room for every major decision that Joe Biden made. | ||
| Including the withdrawal from Afghanistan. | ||
| She got there late. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You get in late. | ||
| You still gotta punch your time card. | ||
| That's what they meant. | ||
| She was the last one in the room. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| All right, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Black people are always late, Seamus? | ||
| That's not what I was saying. | ||
| You said that. | ||
| No, Charlamagne said that. | ||
| Charlamagne did say that. | ||
| Charlamagne literally told that to Kamala Harris. | ||
| And she left. | ||
| What was the context? | ||
| She said, I was late by a few minutes. | ||
| And he was like, well, you are black. | ||
| Did he really say that? | ||
| He really did. | ||
| It's a quote. | ||
| It was actually kind of funny. | ||
| We're going to jump to this next story. | ||
| And we have it here from the Post Millennial. | ||
| Biden-Harris admin's disaster loan program tapped out after hurricanes. | ||
| But wait. | ||
| The next story. | ||
| Biden announces $425 million in military aid for Ukraine. | ||
| How could that be true? | ||
| You may not be very angry at this, so I'm going to play this video for you. | ||

So my mom lives across the street. | |
| She's 92 years old and as I was trying to get her to the door, my husband looked out and he says, we can't get out. | ||
| We went to the back door and my husband got a foothold because the water was probably knee deep and he pushed me across the water to where I could get a foothold. | ||
| And then he got my mom and put her out where I could get hold of her hands and I pulled her to me. | ||
| And then I saw my house. | ||
| It was just like it picked up. | ||
| The water was over the top. | ||
| You could just see the eave. | ||
| Just like it floated away. | ||
| And as it went across, I think the tip end of my house hit my mom's house. | ||
| And the hearse just uprooted and it floated away. | ||
| We just lost both of them. | ||
| We are alive, which I'm so blessed and so grateful, but we've lived here 50 years and my mom had lived there 70 years and we've just never seen anything like this. | ||
| So shout out to the Appalachian podcast. | ||
| And thank you for watching that short clip of this woman who is suffering. | ||
| It's brutal to watch. | ||
| And I hope you all are watching this. | ||
| I'm not sad. | ||
| I hope you're infuriated because the context is the loan program for disaster is tapped out. | ||
| But $425 million of American taxpayer money is flowing right over to Ukraine. | ||
| So I don't care what the reason is. | ||
| I don't care for the fact checkers to come out and say, but Tim, those are different funds. | ||
| And Congress has a- I don't care. | ||
| Congress should get their asses back to Washington, D.C. and make sure that little old lady can take care of her mom and they have houses before they give one penny to Ukraine. | ||
| You have to stop giving the benefit of the doubt to political actors who think that you're evil and that your way of life should be destroyed. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We have to look at this and we have to say, you know what? | ||
| Because we don't trust these people, there's only one answer to this. | ||
| The purpose of a system is what it does. | ||
| The purpose of this system that our leaders have developed is to send money to foreign countries and allow Americans to die. | ||
| It's not even America last. | ||
| It's quite literally America never, right? | ||
| America never. | ||
| And it's not even just the 425 million that they announced today, because this is all coming from what was it about a month ago when they were negotiating the CR, they were coming up against the deadline that the White House is going to have to appropriate the 8 billion in aid for Ukraine. | ||
| And it's so wild, right? | ||
| When they had an outstanding $8 billion worth of funds for Ukraine, instead of reappropriating it for the United States, they chose to a continue to administer it to Ukraine. | ||
| But it was October 2, as people like her were having her houses ripped away, that they actually gave several hundred million dollars via USAID to Ukraine for, I kid you not, storm preparation and winter weatherization efforts. | ||
| And remember, but it's so tone deaf. | ||
| You have Kamala Harris tweeting, oh, I'm giving $157 million to Lebanon. | ||
| And I think too, you know, as much as we could rank on how obvious it is that all they care about is Ukraine or Israel, any other country. | ||
| And It's very interesting, right, for all the what they claim to be bipartisan or independent NGO type activist groups that were busy giving upwards of a billion dollars, right, to election administration in 2020. | ||
| Now you see the continued reporting NBC out today saying that, oh, there's difficulties with voting, especially in rural counties in North Carolina. | ||
| You have David Axelrod celebrating that rural people probably won't That was so upsetting to watch that. | ||
| In North Carolina. | ||
| And then, of course, you have far left lawyer Mark Elias celebrating the ballot changes that they've instituted there. | ||
| But the hypocrisy there is just it's so glaring. | ||
| Congressmen constantly argue that they can walk and chew gun at the same time when it comes to supporting Ukraine and supporting domestic issues that we have going on. | ||
| And I think it's and I hope it's true. | ||
| But if it is true, then they should hold themselves to that standard and actually deal with these other issues that Americans are facing. | ||
| I think support for Ukraine is important. | ||
| But you're opening yourself up to these very easy political attacks by not dealing with domestic issues at home while helping political attack. | ||
| It's Americans who aren't able to fix their houses, who are going without disaster relief funds. | ||
| And it's a southern border that there's reporting today. | ||
| A third of the cameras are inoperable and turned off. | ||
| So anyone can enter this country. | ||
| I don't think these things are zero. | ||
| I think you could do both at the same time. | ||
| I believe Congress when they said that. | ||
| I think the point of the prioritization should be that you should put America first. | ||
| And when you're running out of funds, the disaster loan program in Ukraine is getting an additional $425 million today alone on top of $187 billion. | ||
| There's a very, very clear prioritization going on that's putting Ukraine first. | ||
| And the further proof is that when they're debating the CR last time, They said, if you want the border funding, you have to have Ukraine funding too. | ||
| You have to have funding for Taiwan and Israel too. | ||
| Not just Ukraine funding, but only one-fifth of the budget can actually be dedicated towards improving the situation at the border, and the entire rest of the bill has to pay for... | ||
| So really, it was actually an aid to Ukraine bill with a little bit of border security tacked on. | ||
| I don't even think that... | ||
| It was amnesty. | ||
| It wasn't even border security. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| No. | ||
| Unless a border bill is opposed by the Southern Poverty Law Center, ACLU, and every Democrat, it's not a border security bill, right? | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| But it's also crazy, too, right, when you see Martha Raddatz sit there and say, oh, well, a handful of transnational criminals and gangs are taking over, you know. | ||
| It's just a handful, Natalie. | ||
| It's just a couple of apartment complexes. | ||
| Just a couple. | ||
| In San Antonio and Aurora. | ||
| That, like, the ruling class in D.C. would be okay with a handful of Ukrainian territories being ceded to the Russians. | ||
| They aren't even okay with... | ||
| I'm okay with it. | ||
| I am, right? | ||
| They aren't even okay with a handful of compromises coming from Ukraine sitting down getting a peace treaty. | ||
| So I think you see the glaring... | ||
| To fight Ukraine? | ||
| Well, and two, I think... | ||
| Wow. | ||
| 10,000. | ||
| The most concerning part, too. | ||
| They've got a deal. | ||
| Putin and Kim Jong-un have a deal. | ||
| That's dangerous. | ||
| Those 10,000 North Korean fighters are going to get to experience life outside of their utopia. | ||
| That's dangerous. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| Maybe they will take a cue from Russia. | ||
| Because Russia, after they sent all of their fighters into Europe, once they brought them home, they sent them to Siberia or executed them. | ||
| So maybe that is part of North Korea's plan. | ||
| But North Korea also blew up like land crossings between North Korea and South Korea. | ||
| They're really moving in a different direction right now. | ||
| You mentioned Russia. | ||
| There is a PolitiFact fact check that they put out that they were tracing a lot of so-called hurricane disinformation to foreign agents such as Russia, believe it or not. | ||
| And they were actually calling. | ||
| I think it was MSNBC on the Sunday shows last week. | ||
| They had Nina Jankiewicz on of Disinformation Governance Board fame to say that they should bring back the Disinformation Governance Board because of this. | ||
| I think that they're laying, they're using, like, they will use what happened with the hurricanes, right? | ||
| This massive tidal wave, no pun intended, of disinformation that has, you know, cost Americans their lives, when in reality it's a continued prioritization of Ukraine and every other country except the United States. | ||
| But they will use it to lay the predicate for more censorship going in to the 2024 election. | ||
| You already see it with House Democrats sending letters to all the tech platforms in light of what happened with the hurricane response, saying that you guys need to censor misinformation and conspiracy theories. | ||
| You guys need to partner with fact checkers and be very proactive in how you're going to approach that. | ||
| So they're definitely weaponizing this narrative, in my opinion. | ||
| How about we have a law that says we can give aid, right? | ||
| If Congress approves aid or whatever, and then it also states that at the time of a disaster, all aid for any foreign entity is diverted to the U.S. to alleviate said disaster. | ||
| And those disasters will be based on disaster declarations and states of emergency. | ||
| And you know what that means. | ||
| Well, we've been in a state of emergency for what, like a hundred or something, like forever? | ||
| Yeah, no more money ever going to any other country until we end those states of emergency and those executive authorities. | ||
| I mean, that's fair enough if we are in a state of emergency. | ||
| Why are we giving our money away? | ||
| It's like your house is on fire. | ||
| Like, emergency, quick! | ||
| Hey, do you want to order pizza? | ||
| I wish the military-industrial complex would, like, weaponize the southern border and view that as much as a cash cow as they would the borders of other countries, but a girl can dream. | ||
| Is there something in Mexico? | ||
| Can we discover oil in Mexico somewhere or something? | ||
| And then the U.S. is going to be like, send in the troops! | ||
| We have Alaska. | ||
| How come we don't occupy Alaska? | ||
| Well, because Tim, I actually don't know if you know this, but when you pull oil out of the ground in the United States, it's bad for the environment. | ||
| But when it's done in another country and then sent here, it's good for the environment. | ||
| Oh, I didn't know that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Carbon offsets. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I didn't know that. | ||
| Thank you, Seamus. | ||
| You're welcome. | ||
| You know, you guys should really get educated on this. | ||
| The audience is much smarter now. | ||
| I'm so glad I can educate everybody on that. | ||
| But what's hilarious, of course, is it's the exact opposite. | ||
| J.D. Vance made a really good point, too, during the debate. | ||
| I thought he had one of the best answers I heard on climate change, which is the United States has much cleaner energy than every other major country on the planet. | ||
| So if you care about green energy, you should want the American economy to be producing the most energy and to have the most industry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Agreed. | |
| Let's jump to the story from the Postmillennial. | ||
| Trump visits Bronx Barbershop in Pitch to New Yorkers. | ||
| The workers had Make Barbers Great Again shirts. | ||
| So Trump is going to the Bronx. | ||
| He's trying to win over more men in the urban environments as well. | ||
| It's actually pretty surprising to see Trump going to New York. | ||
| But I gotta tell you, I was in Philly recently, and there were Trump flags in Philly proper. | ||
| Big ones. | ||
| In Center City? | ||
| In Center City. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I was surprised. | ||
| That is surprising. | ||
| Because in an urban center, to see Republican flags is not normal. | ||
| I used to live there, and in Philly, you protest the DNC, and you protest the RNC, and you protest everything that comes out of the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump flags. | |
| There were Harris Waltz little ones, but they were just like yard signs we'd see propped up. | ||
| We saw Trump flags. | ||
| And we went all over. | ||
| We drove north, south, central, and we saw a bunch of Trump flags everywhere. | ||
| Now, while Donald Trump is trying to earn favor with black men as well, because Kamala is doing poorly, the good news is Don Lemon is scolding them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Take a look at this clip from CNN. You're talking to a lot of voters, and I will just say that you texted me right around the Democratic convention, and you said... | |
| I am talking to people, and Kamala Harris has a problem with black men. | ||
| Yeah, and I told the campaign I did not hear from them. | ||
| I mean, who am I for them to get back to me? | ||
| But there's a problem. | ||
| And look, I went from battleground state to battleground state. | ||
| When they invited me to the convention, I didn't just want to fly there. | ||
| I said, I'm going to go and talk to voters in battleground states. | ||
| And I did. | ||
| It was not curated. | ||
| I went up to people just doing man on the street. | ||
| I said, who are you going to vote for? | ||
| Black men. | ||
| And time after time after time, they said, I'm voting for Donald Trump. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Now, there are reasons why. | ||
| They said because most of the time they said, well, you know, for economic reasons, right? | ||
| Or because he gave me a stimulus check. | ||
| And I had to correct them over and over and tell them that that stimulus check came from the Democratic Congress and from Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| And that Donald Trump actually held the check up so that his name could be put on the check. | ||
| So they think they got the check directly from him. | ||
| Meanwhile, Joe Biden has given one or two stimulus checks as well, but they seem not to know and understand that. | ||
| You can vote for whoever you want to vote for, but the reasons that you're going to vote for them, I think that they should be accurate and factual and you should know why you're supporting. - I think Don Lemon just showed how he has no idea what they're actually thinking. | ||
| And he's making an excuse because if Joe Biden gave them two checks and Trump gave them one check, if it was about stimulus checks, they'd be saying, I'm voting for Kamala. | ||
| I'm hoping that we get stimulus checks again. | ||
| But they're not. | ||
| Clearly, that is not the reason. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's really condescending. | ||
| There's this Marxist element, too, of having to analyze everything through the lens of economics and assuming that people are only making their decisions based on where they think they're going to get money or have gotten money. | ||
| Based on how much the government is going to give them. | ||
| And there's truth in that. | ||
| The government absolutely does buy people's votes in this way. | ||
| But you have to remember that even though the left tries to build these coalitions of people who they see as being oppressed and then just assume that they're all going to get along with each other. | ||
| The truth is, the black community is more socially conservative than the Democratic Party would like for them to be. | ||
| That's a really vague, oversimplified way of putting it. | ||
| They call them socially conservative. | ||
| But on issues like gay marriage and transgenderism, they're certainly not to the left. | ||
| So you can imagine why, if being aware of Kamala's position on those issues, they wouldn't like her. | ||
| It doesn't just have to be a financial thing. | ||
| But they don't want to admit. | ||
| Like, they want you to think That any socially conservative position is adjacent to white supremacy. | ||
| So they can't admit when black people are out of line with the establishment. | ||
| There might also be something to what we were talking about before. | ||
| Maybe they don't want to vote for a lady for president. | ||
| That's also very likely. | ||
| Very likely. | ||
| And they don't want to say it? | ||
| I mean, why would you want to say that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I kind of feel like if you're a young man, you're going to say it. | ||
| You're going to say it. | ||
| And also, I think because white people have been beaten down and basically forced to consume this narrative of our own guilt, white people are less likely to say politically incorrect things. | ||
| I mean, black men don't have white guilt, so they are more likely to just say something politically incorrect when they believe it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And a lot of you guys might be asking yourselves, why is Trump spending any time in the Bronx? | ||
| Why is he spending any time in Long Island? | ||
| Well, he's making a play for New York. | ||
| He said it. | ||
| Well, thank you, Libby, for answering the question I was about to answer myself. | ||
| So the reason Trump is... | ||
| He's going to New York. | ||
| It's not because he thinks he could win New York, but it's because the path for Republican domination over the House of Congress is through New York. | ||
| So all of the districts surrounding New York City where people will come to his rallies from is the way Trump will win the House. | ||
| So on Long Island, I would call it upstate, but right up north, White Plains, right above the city, all of these areas were right from the picking in the past midterm where Republicans had some seats and Republicans want to remain in those seats moving forward. | ||
| And that's the way Trump's going to be able to be effective if elected in office because he will need Congress. | ||
| But that sounds like Donald Trump has resigned to already having won the general and now he's going to pick up seats. | ||
| Well, I think it's something that he doesn't want to forget about because I believe it was his first term where he was dealing with a slight majority and then at that midterm he lost his majority. | ||
| I think he understands the importance of having Congress behind him as well because he can't be... | ||
| People also forget that New York basically delivered the red wave. | ||
| It was five seats in New York in 2022 that Lee Zeldin flipped. | ||
| What I'm saying is that if Trump is willing to take time right now in the middle of the presidential cycle to go to New York, which he cannot win because he wants to help win congressional seats, then he feels like he's already won the general. | ||
| He would be in Ohio, Pennsylvania. | ||
| He'd be in Wisconsin. | ||
| And he did go to Wisconsin, I think, today, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But if he's spending time in New York for what you're saying, he's basically saying, you know what? | ||
| I'm doing so well. | ||
| I've got time. | ||
| Let's try and win some congressional seats. | ||
| Like, he views himself as being way ahead. | ||
| Yeah, I think he's thinking of a grand campaign. | ||
| He's coming at it as this third presidential campaign. | ||
| He understands the lay of the land. | ||
| He understands the importance of the House. | ||
| And that's why I think he's spending so much time, or well, really any time in New York. | ||
| He also got a great reception in Crotona a while back. | ||
| Didn't he do a big rally in Crotona? | ||
| In the Bronx? | ||
| Yep, he's been there a few times. | ||
| He did well there. | ||
| And then AOC and Jamal Bowman went out there, and they bombed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, and all the Democrats have said, too, I mean... | ||
| You can see it in their actions with the whole January 6th stuff, but they'll just work to impeach him if they have a majority in Congress or at least in the House and Senate. | ||
| That's how they would literally spend the entire four years trying to do that. | ||
| Yeah, it would almost be so bad. | ||
| Maybe the typical swing that you see in the midterms where it goes for the party counter to the president, I think it'd be an interesting comparison to see if the blowback from not getting anything done and just focusing on politically motivated witch hunts against Trump Let's just be frank. | ||
| He hasn't been re-elected and there have already been assassination attempts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So I don't think impeachment is the only trick up their sleeves. | ||
| And I mean, there could be more. | ||
| The prediction is that there's going to be more. | ||
| I mean, Iran. | ||
| Iran. | ||
| And then you heard Biden gave a warning to Iran saying... | ||
| And our own government. | ||
| Right, but... | ||
| Yeah, fair enough. | ||
| So whether you think it's Iran or otherwise, the point is, the narrative has been placed. | ||
| Iran is trying to take the life of Donald Trump. | ||
| Biden has warned publicly Iran it is an act of war if you harm Donald Trump. | ||
| And wouldn't the war machine love a casus belli for a war with Iran? | ||
| It's so ripe for conspiracy theory. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's... | |
| Well, and it's not even conspiracy theory, and I'm a little rusty on the facts, but I believe it was a soft merchant, right? | ||
| The Iranian would-be Trump assassin that they arrested like two weeks. | ||
| Pakistani. | ||
| Oh, sorry. | ||
| But to my point, most Iranian would-be assassins that we've seen, whether it was against like John Bolton or other types like that, they have explicit ties to whether it's the IRGC or just Iran in its entirety. | ||
| But this Pakistani guy was only tangentially linked to Iran through the fact that I think he had like a few family members who lived there. | ||
| He was not part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and was the FBI that facilitated his entry into the United States via the southern border. | ||
| But it was really interesting because in the affidavit that they had when they finally arrested him, all of the evidence that they used pointing to the rationale to arrest him, it had to do with acts that he committed after entering the United States. | ||
| There was nothing to do with any of his activities before, which is historically sort of unprecedented when it comes to these foreign assassins. | ||
| And this is the craziest part. | ||
| The bounty that they say this rando dude that they used to push this whole Iran plot that they say that Iran placed on Trump's life was $5,000. | ||
| $5,000 when in comparison for John Bolton. | ||
| I think it was hundreds of thousands of dollars over. | ||
| So very weird, shady story going on with that guy. | ||
| I hope Trump's got good security. | ||
| Yeah, I really do too. | ||
| Because he's using Secret Service, and that report came out recently where they said... | ||
| You need more money, of course. | ||
| If they do not... | ||
| There was an independent report that said if the Secret Service does not have a fundamental change right now, the Secret Service cannot protect its designees. | ||
| Did you hear about the motion that was brought forward in West Virginia? | ||
| Which one was that? | ||
| I believe they said they would not certify the election if Donald Trump or J.D. Vance were assassinated. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know that they agreed to it, but it was proposed. | ||
| When Kamala Harris always has the refrain, I guess she changed it a little bit slightly, when she said, oh, there's nothing I would change about a Biden presidency. | ||
| I always think it's pretty dark. | ||
| You wouldn't have given more Secret Service agents or rehashed what happened on July 13th? | ||
| You wouldn't have prepped better for the hurricanes? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You wouldn't go back to the border and try and say, oh, there's nothing? | ||
| Maybe done better on that Afghanistan withdrawal. | ||
| They did everything they wanted to do. | ||
| Everything they did was intentional. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| The purpose of a system is what it does. | ||
| I'm not saying that's how we should always analyze things, but it's very useful in this context. | ||
| Let's jump to this story from the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Kamala Harris' agenda for black men will be open to all. | ||
| Ooh, I can't wait to get my piece of these black men's money. | ||
| So what was the point of Kamala Harris announcing that she was going to, like, legalize drugs and protect the crypto assets of black men if in the end it turns out to have been an illegal proposal that will now be open to anyone and everyone? | ||
| Yeah, the point was to try and get black men to vote for her. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Literally, that was all it could be. | ||
| And the administration knows that these proposals are illegal. | ||
| She should know these proposals are illegal because her administration, the Department of Agriculture, was sued by white farmers claiming that the Department of Agriculture's program to prioritize black farmers for loans was actually in complete violation of everything, which it was. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| The purpose of farming is to feed all of us, not to make us feel all cheap and sentimental and good about ourselves because we have equity in farming. | ||
| That's pointless. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| But we also have to consider this is a campaign promise. | ||
| So there's two things. | ||
| Firstly, I don't think she cares about following through with any of her campaign promises. | ||
| I also don't think she cares about the law. | ||
| So it's anyone's guess whether this is just a promise that was made that was never intended to be fulfilled or whether they're going to try to break the law anyway. | ||
| Biden is still tried, right? | ||
| His student loan forgiveness proposal was struck down. | ||
| They said that he couldn't do that, but he still wanted to move forward with it. | ||
| So they don't care. | ||
| They're above the law. | ||
| Let me read this. | ||
| It's really funny. | ||
| It says, Vice President Kamala Harris' opportunity agenda for black men aims to shore up support from a pillar of the Democratic base with a key section promising $1 million loans that are fully forgivable to black entrepreneurs and others to start a business. | ||
| And others? | ||
| And others is doing a lot of lifting there. | ||
| Well, it literally says that. | ||
| It says, it turns out that the words and others are doing a ton of work. | ||
| The campaign says the program listed under the black men agenda will be open to all Americans on a race neutral basis. | ||
| It's really funny. | ||
| And others. | ||
| That is so good. | ||
| Guys, I'm hereby announcing that I'm ordering pizza for Seamus and others. | ||
| You're telling me I don't even have to pretend to be black to get all these benefits? | ||
| No, you don't. | ||
| I don't even have to fake it in an affirmative action way? | ||
| Seamus, if you help me clean this place up, I will order pizza for you. | ||
| And others. | ||
| But you see, but that's a nice thing. | ||
| It has to be- Others is me. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, that's a totally different thing. | ||
| And it's $1,020,000 loans, forgivable. | ||
| That is a huge amount of money. | ||
| That's a huge sum of money. | ||
| And we're watching people's homes get washed away in North Carolina. | ||
| But like, this is the program. | ||
| She also—part of the marijuana legalization program that she's offering is very similar to the one that was offered in New York. | ||
| And what happened in New York is New York decriminalized weed and said that people who had passed marijuana convictions would be eligible for these licenses to open weed shops. | ||
| But by the time they came up with their plan to give these licenses out, there were already all these weed shops all over the city. | ||
| And so the city has been trying to like claw back the decriminalization to stop bodegas from selling loose joints. | ||
| The domination from Democrats on their black constituency, that is how they went over so much of the black community. | ||
| It's a dual handed sword in a way because it's hard to maintain it. | ||
| You know, you won't be able to go much higher than that. | ||
| And chances are that the other party is only going to be able to kind of make the inroads with the black community. | ||
| That's what the Trump campaign has been trying to do, because, I mean, if you're at 80 percent, there isn't much more of the community to win over. | ||
| So it's right for the picking. | ||
| I mean, Obama met with a bunch of young black men and said that I feel like you guys just don't want to vote for a woman. | ||
| What are the white dudes for Harris commercial? | ||
| It's time to get over that. | ||
| Get over it! | ||
| I'm strong enough to let a woman tell me what to do. | ||
| They're really worried about the woman thing. | ||
| They're really worried about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Man, that ad was great, wasn't it? | ||
| There's like three of them where they're basically like, please vote for a woman. | ||
| I just don't see it. | ||
| But it's also crazy that so many young black men have shifted away From the Democratic Party that Obama has to be like, guys, is it because you won't vote for a woman? | ||
| Like, you got to do it! | ||
| Well, here's another thing that people should really consider. | ||
| They knew this before they brought her in. | ||
| I mean, if anyone here was considering voting for this particular woman, here's something to consider. | ||
| When Obama was elected, even though I didn't like his policies, right? | ||
| And Matt Walsh has talked about this, but pretty much any conservative who was voting in this election or that election at that time will tell you, I wasn't glad he won, but if there was one silver lining that could have come from him being president, it was that race relations would improve, America wouldn't be seen as a racist nation anymore, and then race relations got way worse. | ||
| Way worse. | ||
| So what does that tell us? | ||
| Okay, if you elect a woman president, you are not going to heal some gender divide in this country. | ||
| It's just going to be played upon more. | ||
| It's just going to be played upon more and the division is going to get way worse culturally. | ||
| That's a really good point, yeah, because after Obama was elected, you can track it in the New York Times and in all of the news media. | ||
| The incidents of the word race, racism, race relations, you know, all of that stuff really skyrocketed. | ||
| Yeah, but I don't think it's related to Obama. | ||
| Well, it may not be, but like... | ||
| You can see in LexisNexis all terms related to... | ||
| What do you think it's related to? | ||
| Why do you think racism... | ||
| Social media algorithms. | ||
| was totally fine and everybody was pretty much fine to madness. | ||
| It went from like, we have equality in the country to insanity. | ||
| You think entirely it's Facebook? | ||
| 100%. | ||
| And I'll give the rundown again. | ||
| I do it a couple times a year. | ||
| So if you look at LexisNexis, you can see the instances of certain words appearance in newspapers around the world, not just in the United States. | ||
| So Obama, It has nothing to do with Obama because it happened in every single country. | ||
| What likely happened is that when Facebook implemented its algorithmic feed, when it initially started it was reverse chronological, but they realized that once you got to around 300 friends and or liked pages, things you were following, you couldn't keep up with the changes and this was resulting in a lower retention time on the website. | ||
| So Facebook said, okay, let's use an algorithm to show people what they're more likely to want to see so they stay on the platform longer. | ||
| Hence, if you post, one of the tricks on Facebook is to post, I just got married and had a kid. | ||
| No, I didn't. | ||
| I just had to post that. | ||
| Hey, we're having a pizza party tonight. | ||
| Come hang out. | ||
| Because that way, Facebook will put it to the top of everyone's feeds. | ||
| So what happens is you have advertisers. | ||
| And they're trying to figure out what content they can produce that's going to get a lot of traction on the algorithm. | ||
| And so what they found was, one, rage shares more than any other emotion. | ||
| There's people like cute animals and things like that and saving animals, they do really well. | ||
| But anger generates the most amount of shares. | ||
| It's almost entirely among women as well. | ||
| I worked for a company. | ||
| When I worked for Fusion, they had a marketing guy who laid this all out. | ||
| Moms are the key demographic for sharing content and generating views on Facebook. | ||
| So what happens is, in the late 2000s, they implement the algorithmic feed, which is basically words that are more likely to get clicked on and are more likely to be shown. | ||
| You ended up with BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, Mike.com, etc. | ||
| doing this massive shift when they realized, hey, we wrote 10 articles today. | ||
| One article was, you know, John Kerry says this. | ||
| The next article was police brutality, black man beaten. | ||
| Guess which one got a million views? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Then they go, guys, we just made 10 grand off that article. | ||
| People want this. | ||
| Write more of it. | ||
| But they didn't want it. | ||
| Facebook was just showing it to more people because of the algorithm. | ||
| Then something stupendous happened. | ||
| In the early 2010s, they discovered that if you write about X... Everyone wants to read that. | ||
| The inverse did happen. | ||
| The rise of alt-right and white nationalist content began to emerge as well because there was a counter backlash to this algorithmic push. | ||
| The issue? | ||
| Our society thinks those things are bad. | ||
| Advertisers don't want to put money on them. | ||
| But if you go to an advertiser and say, do you care if your ad appears on content that opposes racism? | ||
| They'll say no. | ||
| Do you care if your ad appears on content that promotes white supremacy? | ||
| They'll say, absolutely not. | ||
| We don't want that. | ||
| This created a pressure in one direction where all the alt-right channels, and not even necessarily white nationalists, but counter-anti-woke and channels that were like, what's wrong with being white? | ||
| Started getting knocked way down, getting suspended and banned, and then all of the ultra-far-left crazy cultural Marxist stuff started getting promoted. | ||
| That system is now cracking and buckling as Disney lost a billion dollars on a bunch of their movies. | ||
| Kevin Feige reportedly fired a bunch of their activists. | ||
| They were like, hey, wait a minute. | ||
| We've gone way too far in this direction because there was no check on it. | ||
| This is why in the Obama years, we saw a massive spike of all these terms and all this terminology. | ||
| It exists well outside of Obama. | ||
| The LexisNexis data is crazy when you look at it. | ||
| Every word related to social justice skyrockets. | ||
| Now, it could be that you have ideologues working at Twitter and Facebook. | ||
| And so they said, these are the words we want shared. | ||
| I don't think it's the case. | ||
| I think it was more emergent. | ||
| When somebody would see a video about police brutality... | ||
| They'd react to it. | ||
| They'd get angry. | ||
| It would slowly generate more traffic, and it would cause an increase in people writing articles about these things. | ||
| It's what advertisers would fund, so it created a natural push in this direction, and that's why you ended up with... | ||
| Are you just blaming the social media networks and the platforms, or are you blaming the users or maybe bad users on the platforms at all, too? | ||
| It's the platforms. | ||
| You don't blame any of the people who are doing bad stuff? | ||
| Okay, well... | ||
| What do you mean doing bad stuff? | ||
| Because there are people who have to make those articles and make those posts. | ||
| There's absolutely nothing wrong with writing an article saying, I am upset about police brutality. | ||
| The problem is that Facebook created a mechanism by which it was the only thing you could produce that would generate revenue. | ||
| Now, Facebook makes almost no revenue for these companies. | ||
| Video is everything. | ||
| I mean, where are the big blogs these days, right? | ||
| Most of them have gone defunct. | ||
| But in the 2010s, in the late 2000s and 2010s, you were printing money. | ||
| There was a website in the top 400 websites in the world that only wrote about police brutality. | ||
| Because of Facebook. | ||
| Millions of fans, millions of followers. | ||
| That is an algorithmic push. | ||
| The average person doesn't care about that stuff. | ||
| Like, they care, right? | ||
| You see, if you saw a video where it's like a cop's beating a guy, you're gonna be like, hey man, that's not cool. | ||
| But for every single article you read ever, that was Facebook driving it into people's minds. | ||
| The best part about this is, and I mean that facetiously, a 10-year-old kid who signs up for Facebook, you're not supposed to, you're supposed to be 13, but he does, and the only thing he's seeing at the time is an endless feed of police brutality, Ten years later, Facebook is still dominated by this. | ||
| YouTube is dominated by this. | ||
| This kid is 17 years old going, this whole country is racist and they murder black people every single day. | ||
| And then you see these men in the street interviews where they say, how many innocent unarmed black people do you think are murdered every year? | ||
| And they go, 50,000? | ||
| Because the only thing they would ever see on their social media was the far-left ideology being jammed down their throats. | ||
| I'm curious your thoughts. | ||
| Obviously, I think 2020 was the most poignant example of how the government can tip the scales when it comes to the censorship on these platforms or promoting certain narratives. | ||
| I agree with what you're saying, but I do think it maybe treats these social media platforms as sort of like independent entities away from any government overreach. | ||
| So when do you think... | ||
| That the kind of censorship apparatus that we've seen now developed to help shape the landscape. | ||
| So what happens is, following this massive push, you end up with the backlash. | ||
| The media called it the whitelash. | ||
| We started seeing a lot of channels that were white pride. | ||
| They weren't necessarily alt-right or white nationalist, but they were people being like, you can't attack me for being white. | ||
| It's okay to be white. | ||
| Things like that. | ||
| That escalated until you got overt white nationalists active on platforms, and then these platforms were like, we have to ban all these people. | ||
| There was an adpocalypse that were moving them. | ||
| I think it's actually through these media machines, the politicians in the deep state are literally drinking the refuse of these platforms. | ||
| Their minds become warped jelly. | ||
| They then say, this is the world I want to live in, and they seek to implement that world. | ||
| So, for example, Jack Dorsey said that Twitter was the free speech wing of the free speech party. | ||
| Through these pressures that existed naturally in the market, Jack Dorsey was pumping feces right down his throat. | ||
| And I mean that figuratively, obviously. | ||
| He's taking the human refuse ideas of a broken algorithm and warping his mind. | ||
| The only thing he sees when he's on X is everyone posting about nothing but social justice. | ||
| He then can't see outside of his bubble. | ||
| Case in point, when I went on and did that debate on Joe Rogan and I said, your misgendering policy is biased. | ||
| He goes, no, it's not. | ||
| How is it biased? | ||
| And I said, because conservatives think misgendering is calling a female male pronouns and a liberal thinks misgendering is calling someone the pronouns they don't wish to be called. | ||
| And it's almost like he had never heard that argument in his life. | ||
| So what happens is they start consuming a reality based on the algorithms that they've built, warping their frame of mind. | ||
| You end up with young people who are entering into the intelligence agencies, entering into politics, and they're saying this is the way the world should be. | ||
| They then go to the social media platforms and say, we don't want far-right white nationalist fascists like Donald Trump winning. | ||
| We can't allow that to happen because they are swimming in the refuse of the social media creation. | ||
| I also think, too, it's quite interesting if you analyze government grants coming from the United States government to combat what they call misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories. | ||
| Those terms were only really started to be heavily used circa like 2016. | ||
| If you look, it's like 97% of them are post 2016. | ||
| And I think you nailed it when you said it was tethered to Trump winning. | ||
| I think it's a weird thing. | ||
| That the UK and the United States have a weird sort of axis of evil when it comes to funding these censorship programs, that it's all inextricably linked to Brexit, too. | ||
| I think they try to spin that right as kind of a result of disinformation. | ||
| And it gets to, I'll never forget, there was a grant from the National Science Foundation just about a year ago, where they weren't content with just debunking. | ||
| Misinformation, but they wanted to pre-bunk misinformation, particularly tied to the rise of populism. | ||
| And it was sort of saying the quiet part out loud. | ||
| But I think that they realized that the ad hominem assaults weren't working. | ||
| So they had to pivot to the misinformation. | ||
| When Bud Light happened, I predicted we will find out that a millennial woman who recently got a promotion launched this campaign, which is destroying the brand. | ||
| And I was correct. | ||
| That's exactly what happened. | ||
| happened yeah that is what happened because it is these these millennials who have very little literacy in media go on a facebook and the only things they see is being slammed with social justice because websites like mike.com were chasing money and this this is there's evidence of this mike.com started off as a ron paul libertarian website why the ron paul love revolution was viral online and it generated traffic and made money when the algorithm started to change | ||
| mike.com turned into a social justice website that pursued weird leftist garbage That was it. | ||
| They were chasing the money. | ||
| So this millennial woman lives in this reality all day, every day. | ||
| She gets an entry-level position at Bud Light. | ||
| Ten years later, she's promoted to a VP of marketing. | ||
| And then she says, we don't care about white men anymore. | ||
| And they're like, whatever you say, it's your campaign and your job. | ||
| And then the company implodes. | ||
| I think there's another element here too, which is that there was a perfect storm. | ||
| Because what the left needs is to be able to point to groups of people who they claim are oppressed, and then on that basis say that there's some reason why we need to completely restructure this society. | ||
| That in your day-to-day life seems to be working really well, but actually is it because of how this group of people is being treated. | ||
| And so right around like 2012, 2013, it became clear that the left had a cultural victory when it came to homosexual behavior. | ||
| And you end up having gay marriage forced onto every state throughout the entire country by the Supreme Court. | ||
| And so at that time, they didn't have as much of a leg to stand on and say gay people are oppressed. | ||
| And they weren't at a point where they felt comfortable saying, if you don't bake the cake, you bigot, then you're an oppressor. | ||
| And so it happened to be very convenient that they could shift into this narrative of remember, remember how black people were oppressed? | ||
| It's still happening. | ||
| It's still just as bad as it was in the 60s. | ||
| We still have sundown towns. | ||
| All of these things that we know aren't true. | ||
| And then you get a perverse world where Obama, who's married to someone that like half this country thinks is a man, is lecturing us on masculinity. | ||
| That's only because of Joan Rivers, right? | ||
| Wasn't it Joan Rivers? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Joan Rivers said that Michelle was a trans man. | ||
| She's been campaigning with transgender drag queen activists. | ||
| Cardi B and drag queens and... | ||
| Well, but it's interesting because also back in 2008 to say that about Michelle Obama would be considered a horrendous insult. | ||
| But today they actually can't explain why that's insulting. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They really can't. | ||
| They can't say there's anything wrong with that. | ||
| If Michelle Obama thinks there's something wrong with being called a trans woman or that a trans woman is a less legitimate woman, then Michelle Obama is a bigot. | ||
| Remember that guy who did the video where he's asking the woman, he was like, how was transitioning for you? | ||
| And she's like, excuse me? | ||
| And he's like, was it difficult for you? | ||
| And she's like, I'm a woman. | ||
| He's like, right, yeah. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| That's so mean to do to a woman. | ||
| I'm an ally. | ||
| She's like, you think I'm a man? | ||
| He's like, no, no, no, you're a woman. | ||
| You're a woman. | ||
| I'm an ally. | ||
| And she's like, I'm a woman. | ||
| He's like, exactly. | ||
| And then she was just like, what are you trying to say? | ||
| I'm a man. | ||
| He's like, well, is there another word you use for this? | ||
| And so, of course, his point was... | ||
| They don't actually believe it. | ||
| They're offended by it. | ||
| It's obviously not a nice thing to say, but it's true. | ||
| People have done this online, where they will casually refer to liberal women who are pro-transgender as well-passing trans women, and invariably the women get offended. | ||
| They're always offended. | ||
| There's nothing wrong with it. | ||
| Why does that offend you? | ||
| The real loser in the entire trans debate are masculine-looking and unattractive women. | ||
| It's also, yeah, it's very sad. | ||
| And it's really a shame. | ||
| Like, there was that whole thing. | ||
| There was that Sidney Wilson, Sidney Watson. | ||
| Wilson. | ||
| Wilson. | ||
| The other day. | ||
| The basketball player. | ||
| The basketball player. | ||
| And people were saying, like, she's trans. | ||
| And I was like, no, she's just a tall, big lady. | ||
| And it's so funny because... | ||
| She was not trans. | ||
| You thought it was a trans woman? | ||
| She played women's basketball for Georgetown in like 2010, 2011. | ||
| She was just a big lady. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was thinking like, it's a bad time to be a big lady because, you know, if you're a big lady with like a strong jawline, everyone's just going to think you're a man. | ||
| Like, that's not fair. | ||
| It used to be that you could be like a handsome woman. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can't be a handsome woman anymore. | ||
| Now it's like because of trans, you know, because of trans, if you're not like, if you aren't obviously feminine looking, you're screwed and everyone thinks you're a fella. | ||
| If you said beautiful man, I feel like you'd imagine like Gaston. | ||
| No, you say beautiful man, you think like Fabio or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, but he's still like a big, muscular dude. | ||
| He's a big, beefy guy. | ||
| He's just like pretty. | ||
| But if you think handsome woman, you think like a chiseled jaw woman who's like large. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, like a beautiful man could still be a manly guy, but a handsome man is a manly woman. | ||
| It's a manly woman. | ||
| It only flows in one direction. | ||
| It's not good to be a manly woman now if you want anyone to think that you're actually female. | ||
| No, and it's true. | ||
| I mean, part of what's really fascinating about it, too, is leftists will blame us for that. | ||
| We'll blame conservatives for that. | ||
| But the reality is, 15, 20 years ago, masculine-looking women were not suspected of being men. | ||
| You still thought they were women. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You might not think that they were gorgeous, but at least you'd think it's a woman. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You would assume someone dressed as a woman was a woman. | ||
| Now you can't make that assumption anymore. | ||
| My other hot take, I do also think that the normalization and increase in plastic surgery among young women, which in some ways is analogous to what a lot of men get who want to become trans, it's like superimposing the same artificial features. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think you get then this weird kind of amorphous, genderless... | ||
| This bimbo look. | ||
| It's so interesting. | ||
| And they all look the same. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everyone's got the same lips and stuff. | |
| Yeah, it's like unhuman. | ||
| It is weird. | ||
| The point about them all looking the same. | ||
| Part of what's so fascinating is the reason we have these plastic surgeries is because we live in this Western liberal society where we've maximalized individualism and allow people to make their own choices. | ||
| And the hilarious irony is people use those individual freedoms to become as much like everyone else as possible. | ||
| To literally change the way their face looks. | ||
| To look more like what society says the average face should ideally look like. | ||
| Which is really just a shame. | ||
| And it's bad for everybody else who's just like, I don't want to have knives on my face. | ||
| Yeah, well, and part of what's hilarious about it, though, is the more stringent and conservative and traditional your social roles are, the more uniqueness you get among people. | ||
| Because those are societies that say, no, you can't slice your face up in the name of self-expression, right? | ||
| We could do reconstructive surgery if something horrible happened to you. | ||
| And that's a pretty traditional society, isn't it? | ||
| I don't really know. | ||
| What about South Korea? | ||
| In South Korea, there's like a huge proportion of plastic surgery. | ||
| There was actually a man who sued his wife because their children were ugly. | ||
| And it turned out that he didn't know she'd had all that plastic surgery. | ||
| Any society that allows for plastic surgery, so long as it's voluntary, has clearly bought into the idea of individualism to the point where they think an individual has the right to change the way that their face looks for non-medically necessary reasons. | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| And we are there. | ||
| It's always interesting to me. | ||
| People will say to me, oh, if you're opposed to minors getting trans surgery, then you must be opposed to them getting boob jobs and nose jobs, too. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, for sure. | ||
| To be clear, making someone infertile for the rest of their lives is worse than giving them a plastic nose. | ||
| But also, leave your nose alone. | ||
| I remember when I was like... | ||
| And my aunt said, she goes, so when are you going to get your nose done? | ||
| And I was like, what? | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| What is the matter? | ||
| No one's breaking my nose and reshaping it. | ||
| And she went, well, you're ugly, honey. | ||
| No, she didn't say that. | ||
| But she was like, what? | ||
| Doesn't everybody want to do that? | ||
| And I was like, no. | ||
| That's such a horrible thing to say. | ||
| No. | ||
| I think a lot of this stuff is downstream from social media. | ||
| Well, you know what's funny is I wasn't upset because she thought that I didn't have a good face. | ||
| I was just horrified at the notion that someone would break my nose and reshape it and that I would pay for someone to do that for me. | ||
| On such young girls now, I mean, you got inundated. | ||
| I'm 23 and it's like all you have here is you need to get Botox. | ||
| You need to get Botox. | ||
| No, do nothing. | ||
| I would never. | ||
| I think plastic surgery is for trannies. | ||
| Uh... | ||
| But it's wild. | ||
| It's the normal... | ||
| I mean, I guess it's profits, but it's just... | ||
| The Botox thing is weird how everyone wants to shoot poison in their face. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or take out their cheek fat. | ||
| It's understandable, though. | ||
| I understand why people do it. | ||
| They're trying to look better and younger. | ||
| Are you doxing yourself as a Botox recipient? | ||
| I mean, I think this stuff is gross. | ||
| I also think it's a gross look on people, but I also think there's something to do with social media, with women comparing themselves to each other at such a young age. | ||
| But that was always true. | ||
| And then also different... | ||
| Was it always true? | ||
| It wasn't true 50 years ago. | ||
| It definitely wasn't true as much 50 years ago. | ||
| And then also the different filters that people could apply to themselves. | ||
| I mean, all that stuff is worse, but middle school has always been middle school. | ||
| Yeah, but it wasn't... | ||
| When you went home from middle school 50 years ago, you were home. | ||
| Now when you go home from middle school, you're looking at pictures of your classmates on TikTok and Instagram and comparing yourselves to them. | ||
| I feel like a lot of the stuff we're talking about tonight is downstream. | ||
| Social media is frying the brains of young people. | ||
| Not only young people, of all people in media. | ||
| I really don't think kids should be able to use these platforms. | ||
| It's the pain that parents allow them to. | ||
| Technically, their TOS says they shouldn't. | ||
| Have you noticed all the commercials for TikTok and Instagram saying they now have parental controls? | ||
| I haven't seen those. | ||
| You can specifically remove words that they won't be able to search for or see if it appears in any way related to the post. | ||
| And this is what I will say to any parent who is considering allowing their child to use TikTok because of parental controls. | ||
| Anyone who produces content will tell you there are certain words you can use as workarounds that communicate the same message. | ||
| Either by putting an asterisk somewhere or spelling a word a little bit differently, and you're just not going to be able to block out all the variations. | ||
| The reality is, if you're giving your kid a phone that has TikTok on it, they're gonna find the stuff that you've put parental controls on it to prevent them from seeing. | ||
| It's just gonna happen. | ||
| Do not think that that stuff is gonna protect your kid. | ||
| There are young women who are getting plastic surgery to look like filters. | ||
| That's really too bad. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| There's a disconnect when you look in the mirror and what you're used to seeing and then you're like, wait, I look bad. | ||
| I need to get X. Well, it's because they see other women who look a certain way and they think, I should look like that, but it's a filter. | ||
| What they should realize, though, is that disconnect never goes away. | ||
| I mean, I remember my grandma when she was like 86 and she was telling me, honey, I feel the same way as I did when I was 18 on the inside. | ||
| And then I look in the mirror and there's this old lady. | ||
| It's very confusing. | ||
| For many people, they see people more through phones than they do in real life. | ||
| It's got to be something. | ||
| And then I look at her neck and I'm like, she didn't do that yet. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| You commented on her looks? | ||
| That's, I thought, unkosher. | ||
| We already commented on her looks. | ||
| The other component of it is that young people will see posts from their friends and their fake and their highlight reels and they think my life should be that way and they get depressed because of it. | ||
| Yeah, that's a shame. | ||
| Well, when life is so meaningless, I think it trumps up the importance of stuff like that. | ||
| No purpose. | ||
| Yeah, this is one of the massive issues with materialism. | ||
| If the only thing that actually matters is what's right in front of you and there's no spiritual reality, if you don't have all of the coolest things on the planet, you're not the most attractive person, you don't have the most money, well, then what's the point of being alive? | ||
| And then here's the reality, is if you have materialist mindset, even once you get to that point, it doesn't start to feel like things suddenly matter because you got all the shiny new toys. | ||
| You just end up remaining depressed. | ||
| You see this with famous people all the time. | ||
| They get addicted to drugs or they end their own lives because you can't satisfy yourself with things of this world. | ||
| That's why Jim Carrey went nuts. | ||
| And he was like, we're backing off now. | ||
| But it was interesting. | ||
| Speaking of meaning, my son was telling me that like most of the kids in his class are atheists. | ||
| How old are they? | ||
| Well, that's the fault of Christians. | ||
| Fourteen. | ||
| I mean, they're 14. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think you could have developed religious views. | ||
| But he said that they don't tend to go to church. | ||
| But this is not good. | ||
| It's Christian's fault. | ||
| That's a parenting thing. | ||
| Like, take your, you know... | ||
| It's the fault of Christians. | ||
| That's part of a bigger trend, too, over the past 50 years of church attendance falling off of a cliff. | ||
| My parents forced me to go to church. | ||
| Although with young men, isn't it up? | ||
| I remember reading... | ||
| The question is, why aren't parents instilling their values in their children? | ||
| Because the parents don't actually believe it. | ||
| A lot of these parents don't believe it. | ||
| So the grandparents, then? | ||
| At what point did people stop instilling their values in their kids? | ||
| It's happened slowly over time as we became more wealthy and decadent as a society. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's part of it, too. | ||
| But also, one thing that happened is that all of the boomers, they were just so intent on casting off anything that their parents taught them, casting off church, not going to church, like all of that stuff, because they wanted to stay young forever. | ||
| And they kept the mindset of like, I'm a young person bucking the system until even now, like they even still the boomers have that mindset. | ||
| Well, it's so hilarious, too, because I cannot think of a more ill-suited group to question the choices of their parents than baby boomers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| I think that, too. | ||
| The greatest generation had a lot of flaws. | ||
| People worshipped them, and they shouldn't. | ||
| But the truth is, the greatest generation went from living through the Great Depression to fighting in and winning the Second World War, and then their children looked at them and said, What do you know, Mom and Dad? | ||
| I'm gonna go listen to like rock and roll and sleep with strangers and get high! | ||
| That's what life's really about, you guys. | ||
| That's what life's really for. | ||
| Your parents went from the Great Depression to the most prosperous economy in the history of the world at that point over the course of 50 years. | ||
| And you can't stand it. | ||
| So maybe those were people who give you good life advice. | ||
| They're like, no! | ||
| They're impressing me! | ||
| Right. | ||
| How many members of the Greatest Generation served overseas? | ||
| I don't know the number. | ||
| How many Americans served overseas? | ||
| Wasn't it something like a third of Americans were involved in the war effort or something? | ||
| But serving, if you want to say they fought the war, the people who came back as veterans and had a message to instill in their children, I think the issue is the majority of the greatest generation actually didn't. | ||
| Including the British National Park? | ||
| It's true, but we had an entire war economy. | ||
| So even right after the suffering of the Great Depression, you had to ration the My point is, the people who fought in the war, the veterans, probably had a strong message for their children, and their children heard it, but that's about one-third of the boomers. | ||
| That means, like, 66% told their kids nothing. | ||
| Well, and also, what was the media telling their kids? | ||
| I think that the greatest generation was not skeptical. | ||
| I have the magazines. | ||
| Why don't you go read them? | ||
| Huh? | ||
| I have the magazines in the other room. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, we've actually pulled up several of the World War II Life magazines. | ||
| On the counter, in the green room, we have the Life magazine with the bomber of Japan smoking a cigarette, and it explains how the U.S. nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. | ||
| And then I have the surrounding magazines where you can read what people thought during World War II, and I gotta tell you, it had nothing to do with the Holocaust, Germany, or Jews. | ||
| That Enola Gay, it's in Chantilly, Virginia. | ||
| It's in storage there. | ||
| You can see it in the National Air and Space Museum. | ||
| It's very cool. | ||
| Many years ago, I found an old suitcase that used to belong to my late grandfather. | ||
| And I went in it, and there was a Reader's Digest. | ||
| And it was from the 40s. | ||
| I believe it was Reader's Digest. | ||
| And there was a chapter there. | ||
| It said Catholics fight birth control or Catholics fight legal birth control. | ||
| And I said, I didn't know that was an issue back then. | ||
| My dad was like, they're talking about condoms. | ||
| It was true. | ||
| And so what I find hilarious is you'll have these lefty social justice advocates who say, you know, you guys are Nazis and fascists. | ||
| It's like, dude, the Catholic guys fighting in World War II were against condom legalization in many cases. | ||
| They would be so far right by your standards. | ||
| They couldn't be even more right. | ||
| But we have to remember this, too. | ||
| The Greatest Generation had a lot of its own problems. | ||
| World War II soldiers, some of them, you know, when they were in France, were going to brothels over in Europe. | ||
| I mean, it's not like they were perfect people. | ||
| So that's the worst thing you have to say about them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Not too bad if that's during wartime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey. | |
| Is that it? | ||
| Well, no, I'm just saying that the greatest generation raised the boomers, even though I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the men who fought in World War II, including my grandfather. | ||
| They were humans. | ||
| They made mistakes. | ||
| They didn't raise perfect children. | ||
| Nobody does. | ||
| And so we have to remember that, too. | ||
| There was a big percentage, though, of the boomers that ended up fighting overseas as well. | ||
| It's just that they were fighting in Vietnam. | ||
| And you have to remember about Vietnam. | ||
| That was the first war that was basically televised. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because you had reporters on the battlefield, and those images were coming home. | ||
| And there were a lot of people who were supporting the Vietnam War, too. | ||
| I mean, we look back at it, and we say everybody hated it, and it was terrible. | ||
| But there was a lot of support among Americans for that war as well. | ||
| In my dad's high school, they played the draft numbers through the intercom every morning. | ||
| Teachers or students who were getting drafted. | ||
| Did your dad's number come up? | ||
| No, he didn't end up having to... | ||

| We've got Kyle who says, Seamus, have you seen the Tim Waltz Mr. | ||
| Garrison meme yet? | ||
| It's astonishing how great cartoonists are at predicting future outcomes. | ||
| No, I saw that. | ||
| Thank you for complimenting my profession, by the way. | ||
| It's rare, isn't it? | ||
| It is rare that cartoonists get complimented or get anything right. | ||
| But Tim Walls does have that vibe. | ||
| I saw that and I thought it was hilarious. | ||
| I did see that. | ||
| Good meme. | ||
| Alright, let's grab some more Super Chats. | ||

What is this? | |
| AJ Borowski, you'll know they've accepted defeat when they allow the wars to truly start. | ||
| They will absolutely leave a mess for Trump once they know they are hopeless. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, they're sending money all over the place, and it's usually the State Department or some random person making the announcement. | ||
| Hey, we're taking your money. | ||
| Zarasopher says, Tim, you are wrong about the airlines kicking off a forced shirt from earlier. | ||
| The airlines take federal funds. | ||
| You take federal funds, you don't get to ban political messages. | ||
| It wasn't a ban on political messages. | ||
| It was a ban on obscene messages. | ||
| So, a couple months ago, a guy got kicked off because it said Hawk to us, but in that thing with Donald Trump flipping a bird. | ||
| They said, you gotta flip that inside out. | ||
| He says, okay. | ||
| Flips it inside out, sits down, flips it right side out, and they said, okay, well, WTF, mate, you gotta get off the plane now. | ||
| And he's all like, oh, how dare you, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| There was another video a couple years ago where I got an F Biden shirt on, and they said, you can't wear that on here. | ||
| And he's like, I've got free speech, how dare you? | ||
| And I'm like, dude, you don't own these planes. | ||
| These are private companies. | ||
| And so the argument being made by Zerosifer is that they receive federal funds. | ||
| I don't agree with that. | ||
| It wasn't a political message that they were saying no to. | ||
| It was obscene messages. | ||
| And I have no problem with a plane, an airline, being like, we don't want people fighting in the sky. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that would be bad for security. | ||
| Nor the plane could crash. | ||
| That's exactly. | ||
| No fighting in the sky. | ||
| Everybody's got to chill. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Lauren says, what happened to your morning show? | ||
| I loved it. | ||
| Well, it's still there, but it's broken up into segments again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Tried the live stream out for a couple months, started the RNC, and ultimately I think it doesn't work, and YouTube punishes you for doing it, so I switched back to doing segments. | ||
| So now there are just segments instead of a two-hour live show. | ||
| Veteran Biker says, invite a veteran with a YouTube channel on. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Haven't we? | ||
| I think yesterday we had Joel Berry. | ||
| He was a Marine. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Great show. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| The real Doug Lane says, holy smokes, Lucifer is literally running for president in Utah on the official ballot. | ||
| Not a joke. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| Weird. | ||
| Someone want to look that up? | ||
| In what state was it? | ||
| Utah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Utah. | |
| Mr. | ||
| Nice Bobby says, Tim, you keep talking about Star Trek and praising it, but when are you going to watch the true king of 90s sci-fi, Babylon 5? | ||
| If you can only watch one episode, watch season four, episode eight, The Illusion of Truth. | ||
| Oh, interesting. | ||
| Lucifer Everylove. | ||
| Really? | ||
| His name is Justin Case. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's Lucifer Just In Case Everylove. | ||
| Yeah, Lucifer Just In Case Everylove. | ||
| But his friends just call him Lucy. | ||
| He's a real candidate. | ||
| He's only running in Utah, even though he primarily lives in New Hampshire and spends half his time in Utah. | ||
| The ballot's not fake. | ||
| It's a real ballot. | ||
| Everybody has to meet the criteria to be a candidate. | ||
| This individual did that. | ||
| Peter Goock says, Tim, you were great on Pierce Morgan. | ||
| Seemed like your mic got shut down every time someone else talked, like a connection issue. | ||
| The leftists on that show were literally the definition of fake news. | ||
| Indeed, they were. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, there was something on their end where whenever someone would talk, my mic would get turned off or whatever. | ||
| That was their issue. | ||
| Super convenient. | ||
| You're the only one getting muted. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Ego says, early voting in North Carolina started today. | ||
| Go vote! | ||
| Also, if you needed a real estate agent in North Carolina, call Carolina Sapphire Realty. | ||
| Tim and crew, we love y'all. | ||
| Hey, appreciate it. | ||
| Ham sandwiches. | ||
| Sheamus, my acquired a lot of spoons this visit. | ||
| His power level the last two days has been epic. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| I'm glad. | ||
| Listen, I don't appreciate the accusation, but I'm glad that you think that my power level has been high. | ||
| And if you want to see how that's manifesting, go over to Freedom Tunes and watch our newest videos. | ||
| This guy couldn't even get a million subs last night. | ||
| Oh, why do you have to treat me like this? | ||
| Why do I go on this show when I'm spoken to this way? | ||
| Hold on, let's see what our numbers are at right now. | ||
| What if it went down? | ||
| Let's get, guys, let's get Freedom Tunes up to a million subscribers tonight to make Tim cry. | ||
| If you want to see Tim cry on air, get us two million. | ||
| We're at 977,000 right now. | ||
| We can do that. | ||
| We can get Tim cry. | ||
| That's 5,000. | ||
| We gained 5,000. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| So do I get a single tier for that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Okay, well. | ||
| No, but I'll order pizza. | ||
| For others. | ||
| For you and others. | ||
| Seamus will get pizza and others. | ||
| Seamus will get others. | ||
| Seamus will get others. | ||
| Your local wizard says, Seamus, don't allow Tim to slander the Irish with the spoon conspiracy. | ||
| Also, do you believe that Kane is still out there wandering the earth? | ||
| Firstly, I will not let Tim continue to slander us, and I have done everything in my power to do that. | ||
| Well, I'm Irish too, bro. | ||
| Yeah, and yet the way you speak about your people, you're a race traitor. | ||
| But I would say, as far as Cain's still wandering the earth, that's not—I've heard that that's something that some people believe. | ||
| That's not something that I was taught as a Catholic. | ||
| I don't know that Catholics typically believe that. | ||
| I certainly wasn't taught that as a child. | ||
| He's a bad dude, right? | ||
| Well, yeah, he killed his brother. | ||
| Killed his brother. | ||
| And then God came down and was like, where's your brother? | ||
| And he was like, am I my brother's keeper? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pfft. | |
| And he was like pushing the body behind a rock while he was saying it? | ||
| Yeah, he was just like, I haven't seen that fella. | ||
| Well, yeah, and so he was marked so that people would know not to kill him, and some people have interpreted that. | ||
| Well, some people have interpreted that as him being unable to die, but I don't think the text, I don't believe the text says that. | ||
| I don't think that's supported. | ||
| But some believe that. | ||
| And also the flood happened after, so he would have to have gotten on the ark or been sustained in some other way. | ||
| He didn't get on that ark. | ||
| No one would have been on that ark. | ||
| He was lying on his back floating for 40 days and 40 nights. | ||
| You know, people lived for a long time in the Old Testament, but I'm pretty sure Kane kicked it at some point. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| You ever see that show Lucifer? | ||
| I've never seen Lucifer. | ||
| He was a detective? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I watch all the dumb fantasy shows. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Dude, it's so funny. | ||
| It's like, he's the devil and a detective solving crimes. | ||
| And he's in love with that and he's in love with the other. | ||
| He's in love with one of the detectives. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You've got to be edgy and you have to insult Christianity somehow and try to subvert your moral. | ||
| I mean, an immortal Kane TV show would probably work. | ||
| You know, it starts with... | ||
| The thing though, they would never show, though, what they wouldn't show is that Cain is a horrible brute who is not capable of redemption. | ||
| Nah, they'd make him sympathetic. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| They would show Abel doing something to him. | ||
| That's why it's like not... | ||
| Well, no, because it's a story of envy, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Right? | ||
| God appreciated Abel's sacrifice because he really gave. | ||
| So in some sense, Cain was like one of the first communists. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He went and killed somebody for getting more to God. | ||
| Hollywood would make him a hero. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Hollywood would make him a hero. | ||
| It would make God the bad guy. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It would have made it out to be like God was favoring the privilege of Abel. | ||
| Exactly, exactly. | ||
| Cain would literally say, actually, I can't commit fratricide because fratricide is killing your brother plus institutional power. | ||
| And I lacked the institutional power because I was suffering from sacrifice scarcity. | ||
| I just didn't have enough to give to this sacrifice. | ||
| So it's not my fault. | ||
| They would literally make it the show where he's like, Father, why won't you praise me? | ||
| I have done everything. | ||
| And then he's like, get away. | ||
| And he's like, ah. | ||
| And then, you know, a fight breaks out. | ||
| And then he's like, what have I done? | ||
| And then God's like, you are banished. | ||
| You will never die. | ||
| And then they make him a detective. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| And then he's like living in New York and he's solving crimes. | ||
| That is literally what they would do. | ||
| That is literally what they would do. | ||
| You know, they made a show where Lucifer is a detective solving crimes. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| And his brother is there, who's another fallen angel, and there's some succubus. | ||
| And then some guy stole his wings. | ||
| In this show, does he have demonic powers? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| So what is he trying to figure out? | ||
| He can compel people. | ||
| What is he trying to figure out? | ||
| Can't he compel people to act upon their dark desires or something like that? | ||
| Yeah, he's not a good guy, but he's trying to be a good guy. | ||
| They make him sympathetic. | ||
| Theologically confused. | ||
| Theologically, it does not work. | ||
| He's British. | ||
| Well, now that makes sense. | ||
| That actually adds up, to be honest. | ||
| That's canon. | ||
| That's the only thing about that I think makes some sense. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Adrienne Curry says, women won't vote for women. | ||
| Who is the leader of a home? | ||
| Women? | ||
| LOL. Hey, hey, a woman said it. | ||
| She's allowed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what I mean? | |
| Those are the rules, right? | ||
| A woman's not supposed to be. | ||
| The best thing about being multiracial and multiethnic is I can make fun of French, British, Irish, German, Koreans, Japanese. | ||
| Firstly, everyone can make fun of the French. | ||
| It's not hard, yeah. | ||
| No one gets in trouble for that one. | ||
| That's like one group we've all just decided. | ||
| But it's also because they're white. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| But... | ||
| Yeah, but everyone kind of agrees with it, you know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, you get to a point where it's like, hey, don't say that about them. | ||
| Well, because it's like, you might get some dude and he's like, you know, I'm really tired of the white self-hating jokes. | ||
| Like, no, no, no, he was French. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Yeah, that's bad. | ||
| Oh, okay, I get it. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Cheese-eating surrender monkeys? | ||
| What was that? | ||
| I think groundskeeper really says that. | ||
| Cheese-eating surrender monkeys. | ||
| Classic Simpsons is so good. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, but it would be hacky because that already happened in real life. | ||
| I can't just copy something. | ||
| I think for our music video working on, it's going to be aliens turn everyone into zombies and then chickens fight to save the earth from the aliens. | ||
| By the way, I was being deadpan. | ||
| I appreciate your super chat and the joke. | ||
| Alright, let's go. | ||
| This one is from Joe Disney. | ||
| He says, Biden says, by the way, the camera is looking at me. | ||
| He's looking straight in the lens. | ||
| Then Obama says something before looking at the camera himself. | ||
| I think that's right. | ||
| I'm pretty sure he taps him and says, by the way. | ||
| And then maybe he did say, he's like, the camera's pointing at us or looking at me. | ||
| And then Obama says something like, okay. | ||
| Because they know. | ||
| And now it's a huge story. | ||
| What did they say? | ||
| What if it was something like, Joe was like, Kamala makes great Cajun casserole, and Obama goes, nope, nope. | ||
| Gives me the Hershey squirts. | ||
|

It's horrible. | |

Joe Biden was like, I heard she washes her collared greens in a bathtub, man. | |
| She said that, right? | ||
| Yeah, and Barack's like, nope! | ||
| But what was the story like? | ||
| She said she washed her collard greens in the bathtub as a slang term? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What do you mean as a slang term? | ||
| This is my understanding of this. | ||
| I thought she just had too many greens. | ||
| And she didn't have anywhere to wash them. | ||
| So she claimed that she washed them in a bathtub. | ||
| Now this is, I am not an expert here. | ||
| But my understanding is that there was some slang that she had heard used in the black community that she misappropriated and misunderstood. | ||
| Like, they would say they washed their collard greens in a tub. | ||
| They would call it a tub, but it wasn't a literal bathtub. | ||
| It was not. | ||
| But she heard that when I used to wash my collard greens in a bathtub. | ||
| And people were like, what? | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| Yeah, I just thought, I heard that and I thought, I guess she must have had like a lot of greens that she had to wash. | ||
| She just had so many greens. | ||
| She just had like a huge, like a monster amount of greens. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| That's too many. | ||
| Too many. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Too many. | |
| Alright, we got this next one from Trey Wubble says, Seamus, I didn't notice the ring before I burned you so hard yesterday. | ||
| I hoped your wife didn't see that part, but alas, AI is immediately aware of all the things posted on the internet. | ||
| My apologies. | ||
| Oh yeah, he said I'd never talk to him. | ||
| I mean, look, it was a valid fact check. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| What is this one? | ||
| This one's from Mr. | ||
| Commutunes. | ||
| Sheamus is not smart and he will never reach 1 million subscribers. | ||
| Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. | ||
| Prove him wrong, everybody. | ||
| Prove him wrong. | ||
| Go over to YouTube.com slash FreedomTunes. | ||
| That's T-O-O-N-S and subscribe. | ||
| We're at 977,000 subscribers. | ||
| We're getting so close I can taste it. | ||
| Seamus, I made that up. | ||
| There's no Commutunes. | ||
| I know, but I was leaning into it because I want to... | ||
| Maybe we will become commie tunes. | ||
| If we don't get to a million subs, I'll be like, why do other people have a million subscribers? | ||
| And I don't. | ||
| Clearly, the economy is broken. | ||
| Why don't you make commie tunes? | ||
| We've talked about this. | ||
| This is a bit that you and I have talked about. | ||
| Commie tunes? | ||
| Yeah, do you remember that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't want to spoil it. | ||
| I don't want to spoil it. | ||
| I was saying, like, make a whole new channel. | ||
| And then just do really awful, like... | ||
| Just long text. | ||
| Just really long text that scrolls over six figures. | ||
| Oh, you should make that. | ||
| And it's just three minutes of super long text. | ||
| Honestly, I might. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Michael Balmer says, Polymarket has Trump at 62%. | ||
| I really hope Joe Rogan accepts a podcast with Kamala. | ||
| Polymarket will have Trump at 99.9% the next day. | ||
| Do you think Rogan's going to do it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The podcast with both of them? | ||
| He never said anything. | ||
| He'd have to do it with both. | ||
| I agree, but the thing is, Rogan, so Brett Baer didn't even push back that much as we discussed earlier. | ||
| I don't know that Rogan would push back even as much as Brett Baer did. | ||
| Oh, I don't know that he would. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| But you'd want to see both of them. | ||
| Bro, like, an interview with Joe is not like a Brett Baer who's trying to be on the level. | ||
| The left attacks him, but Joe is the kind of guy who's going to go, what are you saying? | ||
| Like, I asked you a question. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| There's a few guests I can reference who I won't bring up, but Joe was just like, what are you talking about? | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| Pull it up. | ||
| Can you imagine what that would do to her campaign? | ||
| Just that one clip. | ||
| What? | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| Him Googling and her being wrong? | ||
| Although there was a really funny meme that I saw where someone wrote out, let me see if I can find it because reading it's absolutely hilarious. | ||
| Let me see if I can find this one. | ||
| Seamus, read a super chat or something. | ||
| You want me to find a super chat for you? | ||
| Alright, let me go over it. | ||
| Just read it, because I'm trying to find this really funny thing. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Well, let me just pull this up. | ||
| Okay, we got a super chat here. | ||
| This is the best time for my internet to fail. | ||
| It's just taking two seconds to pull up. | ||
| Beautiful, Lance DeBoer said, that's it, I'm subbing to the Irishman. | ||
| Was it because of the- Is he just reading things that promote yourself? | ||
| No, that was the first thing that came up. | ||
| Isn't that interesting, Tim? | ||
| Turns out, the people here like me. | ||
| They're not as rude to me as you are. | ||
| Oh, I'm going to subscribe. | ||
| Yeah, please. | ||
| You weren't subscribed? | ||
| I wasn't. | ||
| My son is subscribed and he shows me your videos, but I was not subscribed. | ||

That's very sweet. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| He thinks you're funny. | ||
| I'm glad that somebody does. | ||
| I'm glad that somebody does. | ||
| I'm just going to have to drive you guys over to Freedom Tunes. | ||
| I only have two Super Chats on my screen right now. | ||
| So that's where we're at. | ||
| Let me see some other things. | ||
| Someone said, Seamus, now is the time. | ||
| Get him back. | ||
| Get him back in what way? | ||
| What are you guys asking me? | ||
| To do here. | ||
| Who? | ||
| What? | ||
| I assume get you back for the way that you've been treating me. | ||
| Oh, I can't find this meme. | ||
| That's too bad. | ||
| It was really good. | ||
| Someone wrote a script of what they thought a Kamala Harris-Rogan interview would sound like. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah, and it was really funny. | ||
| It was really funny. | ||
| I don't think that's what it would sound like. | ||
| But, you know, that's too bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Too bad. | |
| Sorry, everybody. | ||
| No jokes for you. | ||
| I tried. | ||
| I tried my best. | ||
| I tried really hard. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Yes, our subs are up. | ||
| Thank you, guys. | ||
| Keep doing it. | ||
| Keep doing it. | ||
| We've gained like over 100. | ||
| About 200 now. | ||
| Come on, guys. | ||
| That's a very big number, famous. | ||
| By the way, I'm not just asking you to come sub for no reason. | ||
| We put out a new video today. | ||
| People seem to be liking it. | ||
| The audience really seems to be liking it. | ||
| Yeah, but, you know, aren't you kind of mean to Kamala? | ||
| Yeah, I guess if there's one weakness, there's one weak point of that video, it's that I do make fun of Kamala Harris, which I think would upset you guys. | ||
| Is this the Kamala Robotron one? | ||
| Yes, yes, yes. | ||
| Don't spoil it, Libby! | ||
| Yes, we did a video on Kamala's new campaign strategy, her best hope of winning. | ||
| All right! | ||

Oof. | |
| ParticleGo says, Tim, I voted today in North Carolina and took the Democrat candidate list so I know who not to vote for. | ||
| I'm wondering how many picked one up and was marked as a supporter when we are not. | ||
| It was packed all day. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Oh yeah, Kamala Harris skipped the L. Smith there tonight. | ||
| She did send a pre-recorded message. | ||
| Yeah, but this is like... | ||
| And she was booed. | ||
| Was she really? | ||
| Where was this? | ||
| The Al Smith dinner. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa, she got booed. | |
| Her pre-recorded message got booed. | ||
| If I'm to believe the chatter in the chats. | ||
| Whoa, that's crazy. | ||
| Listen, I completely and totally understand why she's as disliked as she is, but it's really remarkable. | ||
| I mean, I remember in 2016 when the popular brave thing to say was that you didn't like Donald Trump. | ||
| But I don't remember people being this tired of him, or this annoyed with him. | ||
| There's a lot of people who don't like him, don't get me wrong, but Kamala is someone the media is constantly telling us we should love and is great for this country, and it just hasn't taken. | ||
| She literally has the entire mainstream media behind her pushing for her candidacy, and people still really don't like her. | ||
| And I've never seen anything like it. | ||
| I've really never seen anything like it. | ||
| With pretty much every other Democratic candidate, Except for Hillary Clinton, I will say. | ||
| Except for Hillary Clinton. | ||
| The media's been able to kind of manufacture some kind of consensus around people liking them. | ||
| But not with these two, and I think it's because America's sexist and they're women. | ||
| Well, also, though, Kamala Harris only had 3% of the vote when she was running as a Democratic presidential candidate. | ||
| Three? | ||
| She did horrible in the primary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a big number. | |
| In 2019, she had 3%. | ||

|
Wow. | |
| Yeah, she really did not do well in the primaries. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She did not do well. | |
| That's the first question I would have for Kamala. | ||
| I would say, Kamala, did you know you had 3%? | ||
| Can you say 3%? | ||
| Can you show me how many that is? | ||
| What percentage did you get? | ||
| She's like, this many? | ||
| I got this many. | ||
| The first question I would actually ask Kamala Harris is, if you didn't have breakfast yesterday, how would you have felt? | ||
| I think that would have been a good question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She would say, I was raised in a middle class. | |
| She'd say, well, let's talk about Donald Trump's breakfast this morning. | ||
| No, she would literally be like, oh, breakfast. | ||
| You know, a lot of Americans, they want to talk about breakfast. | ||
| And you know what I'm going to say, because breakfast is an important meal. | ||
| And a lot of people in this country are very worried about it. | ||
| But ma'am, we're asking what you had for breakfast. | ||
| And if you let me finish, I'm talking right now. | ||
| And, you know, there's a lot of people who are wondering the same question about what they're having for breakfast. | ||
| So I think, you know, I'm glad you brought it up. | ||
| And thank you for the question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's literally true. | ||
| She will just not answer it. | ||
| That's what she did, and then Bret Baier was like, please, can I have a number? | ||
| My favorite part was when she was like, I'm trying to get to the point. | ||
| No, you're not. | ||
| I literally would have said, if I was Bret Baier, ask the question, and then I would just let her talk, and then once she stopped talking, I would say... | ||
| Can you answer the question? | ||
| How many illegal immigrants? | ||
| No, I was just like, can you answer the question? | ||
| Like I did, I'd be like, oh, I'm sorry, the question was how many illegal immigrants? | ||
| And then when she doesn't give an answer, I'll be like, I'm confused. | ||
| Wait, can you? | ||
| Do you want to answer it again? | ||
| Do you want to? | ||
| No, you didn't give me a number. | ||
| And then just let that be the whole interview. | ||
| And then they're going to be like, Brett should have asked this question. | ||
| I'm like, well, Kamala wasn't answering. | ||
| What am I supposed to do? | ||
| Yeah, honestly, no, that would have been hilarious if he tried that twice and then his follow-up was, how would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning? | ||
| Yesterday morning. | ||
| Yeah, yes. | ||
| Is it this morning, yesterday morning? | ||
| It's, how would you have felt if you did not eat breakfast yesterday? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then they go, but... | ||
| Well, the correct answer is, but I did. | ||
| Yeah, the correct answer. | ||
| You're supposed to say, but I did eat breakfast. | ||
| That's the right answer. | ||
| So we'll see if she would answer that. | ||
| I don't agree with hungry. | ||
| Some people don't eat breakfast. | ||
| Like, there was a period where I didn't eat breakfast at all, and I'd be like, but I don't eat breakfast at all. | ||
| I would feel the exact same. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would feel unburdened by what was. | |
| So you don't think that, like, the first meal of the day is just breakfast? | ||
| I mean, you're breaking the fast if you eat at 8 a.m. | ||
| or you eat at 1 p.m. | ||
| So you think dinner can be breakfast if you wait till 6 o'clock? | ||
| See, now you're getting... | ||
| If someone... | ||
| Today, every day, I have a two-egg goat cheese omelet. | ||
| That's what I eat literally every single day. | ||
| Do you put spinach in it? | ||
| Little onions? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| I put olive oil in the eggs, whip it up, splash a little olive oil in the pan, two eggs, goat cheese, put some avocado on top. | ||
| I like avocado on my omelets, too. | ||
| And I have a protein shake. | ||
| And if I don't have that, I mostly would just feel fine until around noon or so, and then I'd be like, oh, I gotta eat. | ||
| Yeah, I have my my whole day gets all whatever. | ||
| So annoying. | ||
| Here's a question for you. | ||
| If you did not release a cartoon about Kamala Harris as a robot, how would you have felt? | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I did release a cartoon about Kamala's robot today. | |
| I did do that. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Ghost Crusader says, Tim, can you ask Libby if she ever remembers seeing Democratic presidential campaign ads playing on New York TV in the past? | ||
| I don't recall seeing any for presidential elections, but this time I see four or five Kamala ads every morning. | ||
| I don't remember that but I never had TV. Oh, no TV, huh? | ||
| No. | ||
| I do remember when I was a kid, and my mom had cable, and there were still only five channels, but it was the only way to get reception. | ||
| And the clicker, like, didn't even have numbers on it. | ||
| You just had to go, like, back and forth, and it had volume. | ||
| But I don't remember anything other than her making me watch what was then called the McNill-Lair News Hour, which she always made me watch. | ||
| But no, I didn't have TV. Yeah. | ||
| Lighthouse Film says Gallup has Republicans up seven points in the popular vote. | ||
| This is unprecedented. | ||
| It's the single most accurate predictor by party registration. | ||
| Yeah, the Gallup tracking the biggest issue among voters and... | ||
| They ask two questions. | ||
| What is the biggest issue and which party do you think has a better handle on it? | ||
| It has accurately predicted the presidency since 1952. | ||
| This time around, it is the economy and immigration. | ||
| And those polled said the Republican Party has a better handle on it. | ||
| So the Gallup isn't making a formal prediction. | ||
| They're just showing the polls. | ||
| But if you track the poll all the way back, you're like, oh, wow, look at that. | ||
| That is interesting that he's seeing. | ||
| Are you seeing that a lot? | ||
| Are you seeing Democratic political ads on TV in New York? | ||
| I also don't have cable TV. It's super expensive to have cable TV. I do get a lot of mailers, though, in the mail. | ||
| I used to have people knocking on my door, and I'd be like, I'm a Republican, and they'd be shocked and horrified. | ||
| So, you know, here's one. | ||
| Caboose says, the $425 million isn't money. | ||
| It's old shell missiles and other equipment bought in the 80s, 90s that is valued at $425 million. | ||
| And we can't send those to the Helene victims? | ||
| You know, maybe they want a missile. | ||
| I mean, those are still resources. | ||
| I thought we had a whole plan going for a while to do like shipping container, emergency housing. | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
| I would rather give the shells and the missiles to the Helene victims than Ukraine. | ||
| Well, also, there's two points to make there. | ||
| Well, they could just sell them on eBay to North Korea and get some housing. | ||
| Well, this is the argument that leftists will make, and even, like, establishment liberal types, they'll say, well, you know, we're actually sending equipment over there. | ||
| It's not all just raw money. | ||
| Okay, firstly, sending equipment over there isn't free. | ||
| That's our equipment that we are giving away. | ||
| But also, it's not like it magically appears over there. | ||
| We have to spend the money relocating all of that, too. | ||
| Wouldn't that make it a stimulus then? | ||
| If it's just coming, it's military equipment from our military industrial complex, right? | ||
| This is going to jobs in different people's districts. | ||
| So when we send them that equipment, we're going to have to rearm ourselves. | ||
| It would be a stimulus as well, by that logic, to go pay people to help those in North Carolina. | ||
| Sure, I guess the things aren't completely related, I guess is the point though, right? | ||
| Like, these aren't, they're not mutually exclusive at all. | ||
| They're not related at all. | ||
| They don't have to be mutually exclusive. | ||
| It's just a good partisan thing to be like, when the government does anything, why don't you do this too? | ||
| But it makes sense to say, why is the government so invested in giving money and resources and equipment away to foreign countries and not in helping its own people? | ||
| Well, it does help its own people. | ||
| Most of our budget goes to helping spending on our own people. | ||
| Most doesn't go to helping foreign countries. | ||
| Okay, last question before we... | ||
| Hold on a second. | ||
| I want to respond to that. | ||
| You're correct that a lot of our budget does, but when people see a response to a disaster botched, when virtually everyone can agree that one of the basic duties of a federal government, if we're going to have one, is to do something like that, but we see the government readily send money to foreign countries, even though that's something that's pretty controversial among the population, I think it's reasonable to say our government is not actually... | ||
| It's not nearly as controversial as the people. | ||
| We're going to wrap it up. | ||
| We're going to wrap it up. | ||
| I have one last question because we do have to go. | ||
| Seamus, oh no. | ||
| What if the government said, Seamus, we're going to give $425 million to Ukraine, but every Ukrainian will subscribe to Freedom Tunes. | ||
| Every single Ukrainian. | ||
| Every single one. | ||
| How many is like 30 million? | ||
| No, not anymore. | ||
| Way less than that. | ||
| So I don't think it's as controversial as people think that we should fund Ukraine. | ||
| I don't think it's as controversial as people think. | ||
| I think we can set some of that money. | ||
