| I'm here. | ||
| It's good to be back. | ||
| It's been a couple of years. | ||
| So it's nice. | ||
| I got the new digs here since I last been here. | ||
| It's pretty impressive. | ||
| Most people know who you are, but for the people that don't, please present yourself. | ||
| Well, I'm an actor, director, producer. | ||
| I was Hercules for seven years. | ||
| I'll brag a little bit, the most watched TV show in the world back in the nineties, 176 countries. | ||
| And then Dramada, the first show Gene Roddenberry wrote after Star Trek, I was Captain Dylan Hunt, first Captain after Kirk. | ||
| And then since then over ninety movies, I got four new ones coming out. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| And three new documentaries, The Dun and the Can. | ||
| I've shot three new ones this year. | ||
| They'll be out next year, so I'm staying busy. | ||
| Busy guy, huh? | ||
| Complete. | ||
| Tate is here. | ||
| It's true, producer Tate Brown here. | ||
| I'm just blessed to be at here. | ||
| I mean, let's get into it. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| We got the legendary Alad as well. | ||
| Hey, thank you. | ||
| Good evening, everyone. | ||
| I'm Alad Elijahu, White House correspondent here at Timcast. | ||
| I don't know, President AI skeptic as well. | ||
| I could get into that and other things later on the show. | ||
| We can get into that. | ||
| Okay, so we're going to jump right into it from CNN. | ||
| Trump escalates attacks against Smithsonian museums, says there's too much focus on how bad slavery was. | ||
| Now, that's not what he said. | ||
| He said that there was a lot, he said a lot more than that. | ||
| But of course, the legacy media will do everything they can to say Donald Trump is a racist. | ||
| He's an evil bad man. | ||
| He's orange. | ||
| You should all hate him. | ||
| So from CNN though President Donald Trump escalated his campaign to purge cultural institutions of materials that conflict with his political directives on Tuesday, alleging museums were too focused on highlighting negative aspects of American history, including how bad slavery was. | ||
| In a truth social post, Trump directed his advocates to conduct a review of museums, comparing the effort with his crackdown on universities across the country. | ||
| The Smithsonian is out of control where everything discusses how horrible our country is, how bad slavery was and how uncompleted the downtrodden have been. | ||
| Nothing about success, nothing about brightness, nothing about the future. | ||
| Trump wrote. | ||
| I mean, where's the lie, right? | ||
| This is pretty standard when it comes to academia, when it comes to, you know, things like museums and stuff. | ||
| It really doesn't focus on anything positive about the United States. | ||
| You know, so CNN went on, Trump's comments come after, come days after the White House announced an unprecedented sweeping review of the Smithsonian Institute, which runs the nation's major public museums. | ||
| The initiative, a trio of top Trump Aides wrote in a letter to Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch III last week, aims to ensure alignment with the President's directive to celebrate American exceptionalism. | ||
| Remove divisive or party narratives and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions. | ||
| I'm not sure how that's a bad thing. | ||
| I mean, Kevin, what do you do? | ||
| Well, you know, everything's racist, right? | ||
| Everything's Nazi, everything. | ||
| It's just how this has been going on for decades. | ||
| It just gets old. | ||
| And when Trump talks about that, it's I look at liberals every day, every night they go to bed angry and every morning they wake up angry. | ||
| And it's like, what can I be pissed off about today? | ||
| And this is something I want to jump on for, because reality is every country has good things, every country has had bad things, every single country. | ||
| Why not in the museum? | ||
| You can have what they got in there, but why not what he said? | ||
| Why not put things that make America great?, make America the country everyone wants to come to. | ||
| And you just get bashed for that. | ||
| It doesn't matter what Trump says or does. | ||
| I posted it on my ex account. | ||
| I said, if Trump said air is beautiful and a wonderful big thing, they would start suffocating themselves. | ||
| This is what they do. | ||
| So one of the lines that stack out to me is the how bad slavery was, right? | ||
| And I would push back on that and say how bad slavery is because slavery is still practiced in Africa, in Africa, still practiced all over the Middle East. | ||
| And it is a bad thing. | ||
| But the one, one of the things that they're leaving out is there's no slavery in the United States. | ||
| There's no slavery in. | ||
| Well, arguably the Fourteenth Amendment made it okay for to enslave people if they go through the court system, but chattel slavery has been ended. | ||
| There's no slavery in Europe, and it was the British that actually ended slavery. | ||
| Before we did, before we did. | ||
| Before the United States, yeah, around the world, and that kind of, you know, that kind of, or that truth, that honest fact that the British were the first to, in human history, to end slavery, because slavery was practiced, you know, by all human beings. | ||
| Stop. | ||
| Slavery was practiced by all human beings. | ||
| The fact that the British were the first to end it is never mentioned in any of the early 1800s, I believe they abolished it before we took us a war and 600,000 deaths before we abolished it. | ||
| You can still talk about the sex trade though. | ||
| That is a former slavery. | ||
| There's no question there. | ||
| But that's not what this issue was about. | ||
| But in the United States, if you are found to have trafficked people, we arrest you. | ||
| We throw you in jail. | ||
| And we free the people that were being trafficked. | ||
| So the way that they cast the United States in places like the Smithsonian, and we went over a little bit of this the other day about. | ||
| about the way that white privilege or what whiteness is and stuff, the way they cast people is actually counterfactual because they don't talk about the fact that white people were the first people to end slavery, the British, that they went around the world and didn't just end it in one place, they ended it in the whole British Empire. | ||
| And they, you know, a lot of people died doing it. | ||
| They fought. | ||
| There was a lot of fighting over it. | ||
| So I think that it's totally unfair to cast the United States as some unique evil. | ||
| Take, do you think that this it's something that is going to set Americans in, you know, set them up and make them get all up in arms? | ||
| Well, I mean, I think Western governments, broadly speaking, I mean the US, the UK, France, they just their it's their entire history curriculum is just meant to demoralize their own people. | ||
| I mean, because if you go, like, I've been to a lot of countries. | ||
| I've been to Qatar, been to Kenya, South Africa, Israel, Japan, and I always love going to the national museums in these countries because they're proud of their heritage and they're proud of what their people have accomplished, and the entire museum is just filled with their highlights. | ||
| It's like their highlight reel. | ||
| But then you go to the Smithsonian or you go to the British Museum in London or you go to the National Museum in France. | ||
| And every exhibit that they have there is just pre-built with an entire paragraph, like a Star Wars crawl style apology for everything that you're about to see in this exhibit. | ||
| Land acknowledgments and the like. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So if you're like a little five year old in Washington, DC, you're visiting Washington, DC, you know, from the heartland, or if you're from England, visiting London, going to your National Museum, and you just see an apology before every single exhibit, that's going to set in your mind that, oh, I'm evil. | ||
| My country is evil. | ||
| My people are evil. | ||
| And people around the world outside of the West don't have that problem. | ||
| Do you think it's a bad thing to cast your own country in a positive light considering the fact that you every country does country things, right? | ||
| Nations do nation state things and sometimes those things are not good for other nation states or other people. | ||
| But do you think that it's a bad thing to cast your own country in a positive light or do you think that you should actually be as critical of your own country as you possibly can be? | ||
| I think you should be fair and call balls balls and strikes strikes. | ||
| I believe the president's greater point here is that the Smithsonian institutions are choosing to focus on the worst things about our country and not focus on the way on I think this is a battle of greater narratives. | ||
| Are we a country founded based on white supremacy and that our founders are irredeemably bad or is our country about overcoming and trying to live up to the values in our constitution, about how we overcame slavery, how we liberated Europe, how we acted as a bulwark against communism, or should we focus on all of our country's shortcomings and make our and believe that our country is irredeemable because of them? | ||
| Have we lately acted as a bulwark against communism? | ||
| I definitely believe so. | ||
| For a while we did, not lately. | ||
| I mean, depending on who you ask, but and I think it depends on whose values you ask, because I think people like those in the Libertarian Institute aren't act as a bulwark against communism, but I believe people like Trump and the Trump administration manufacturingly do. | ||
| I definitely do, manifestly do. | ||
| I think that's the bigger point here. | ||
| What are the values we choose to focus on? | ||
| Having said all that, I will say the Black History Museum is a blemish on the National Mall in Washington, DC. | ||
| Just architecturally that is, it's a ugly building. | ||
| It's like an ugly brown, just if you guys wanted to pull up a picture of it, it's just, it doesn't fit in with the architecture of the rest of the National Mall. | ||
| But I don't think that's what Trump was talking about here. | ||
| It's like a Toblerone. | ||
| You guys know which one I'm talking about? | ||
| It's like the couple Toblerone bars. | ||
| Yeah, it seems to be very out of place. | ||
| The thing with the Smithsonian and why this is so embarrassing is because this is in our capital. | ||
| This is where look at that thing. | ||
| thousands of tourists visit. | ||
| I mean stuff like this. | ||
| It's like thousands of tourists coming from all around the world and they see this and they see us apologizing. | ||
| I mean that's a terrible thing. | ||
| But look what they pass as art. | ||
| The liberals love ugliness. | ||
| Tell me, Jawas aren't going to come out. | ||
| It's weird to me what they do with their architecture. | ||
| Tell me, Jawas aren't going to come out and they're going to shoot your robot and they're going to take it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| What's a Jawa? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I thought that was another AI. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Robot or something. | ||
| No. | ||
| But anyone that's familiar with the old Star Wars would recognize that. | ||
| But it does. | ||
| It looks like the Jawas, you know, big transport. | ||
| Anyways, it does look ugly. | ||
| And I do think that it's worth a society, at least, like you said, calling balls and strikes. | ||
| We shouldn't hide the fact that there was slavery. | ||
| We shouldn't hide the fact that there was Jim Crow. | ||
| But we should highlight the fact that those things ended, that we do not endorse those things currently, that we got rid of slavery in the United States, that six hundred, like you said, six hundred thousand people died. | ||
| More people died at Gettysburg in one battle than died in the, than Americans died in the whole Vietnam War. | ||
| Well, more people died in that, in that, the Civil War than all of our wars combined together. | ||
| So that's quite 600,000 of our own people as well. | ||
| So this is sort of what we're stuck at. | ||
| But here's the problem. | ||
| It boils down to where we are in the education system as well and through our universities because we're not teaching civics to kids. | ||
| We don't want people to know it's we the people. | ||
| They don't want kids to know that. | ||
| They don't want to teach them real history anymore. | ||
| I mean, it's just incredible. | ||
| When I was in school, I took American history, Far Eastern studies, and Russian studies. | ||
| That was in my public school. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| Where did you grow up getting to know? | ||
| I grew up in a little town called Mound, Minnesota. | ||
| It's about 25 miles west of Minneapolis, where unfortunately Minnesota's turned into California with its politics. | ||
| But they still have a pretty good public education system to this day. | ||
| But back then, it was amazing. | ||
| I really was very fortunate where I grew up. | ||
| It's fascinating because on issues like the Civil War. | ||
| But when it comes to issues like the Civil War, as I understand in some southern states, they actually teach it as the war of northern aggression. | ||
| That's not how I was taught. | ||
| I don't think I'm inventing that. | ||
| I believe that's what I never taught in the South. | ||
| Yeah, I think I'm sure. | ||
| Oh, not more. | ||
| I don't think that it's currently that way. | ||
| I think it's probably in the 60s it was like that. | ||
| I don't imagine that after the Civil Rights Movement, I don't, I don't imagine that that was the case. | ||
| But or at least after the Department of Education. | ||
| Well, now you're seeing a reaction, like there was a story today, this morning or last night or this morning, where the state of Oklahoma, their Board of Education, they want to pass a mandatory exam for all inbound teachers that are coming from California or New York. | ||
| And they basically want to make them take a patriot test. | ||
| They're going to administer this. | ||
| I think Prager, Prager, you might be behind it. | ||
| Good. | ||
| But yeah, I mean, because they, I mean, you see these TikToks on Twitter of these teachers. | ||
| I mean, who knows where these people come from, which sewer they emerge from. | ||
| So yeah, I mean, I think Oklahoma's setting the standard. | ||
| Well, either be an Antifa member or be a public school teacher in California. | ||
| It was a tough decision. | ||
| Look, I mean, Oregon just had some, I don't know, they passed something where students don't have to be able to read or do math to graduate high school. | ||
| Go figure. | ||
| So what are they doing in school besides putting up different flags? | ||
| Well, what they're actually doing is they're learning how to be political activists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Because if you can actually, if you can make children into political activists before they're even teens or whatever, if you can awaken a critical racial consciousness or awaken a critical consciousness in them, not only do you make them more neurotic and make them more likely to be unhappy, which unhappy people become activists. | ||
| Happy content people do not engage in revolutionary activities. | ||
| So the leftists in schools, they want kids to be neurotic and you make kids neurotic by starting when they're young and showing them all these horrible things about the world, right? | ||
| Look how terrible this country is and this was real and these poor people here and look, this is bad and you show them all these things and you end up with kids that are that are like useful idiots essentially traumatized and yeah they are useful in it idiots look what Lenin said back in the Bolshevik revolution he talked about the way to control the population is through education and that's what they're doing and that's what they're doing here we've accelerated on but we started in 1964 by taking the Bible out of the schools right we give it to prisoners of course but everybody was homeschooled prior to public education coming in in the late | ||
| 1800s maybe when we started public education everybody was homeschooled you know they grew up on the farm they read the Bible they could learn whatever kind of history they could learn but we changed that so drastically and the brainwashing of these kids is the biggest I think the blessing of COVID is so many parents woke up saying they've got to get their kids out of public education. | ||
| Two million more families are now homeschooling because of that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, you see such a visceral reaction from the left towards parents that homeschool their kids or even religious schools. | ||
| I mean, they also have an access to Garnet religious schools. | ||
| And the reason is because the kids that come out of those schools end up emulating their parents more than they end up emulating their teachers. | ||
| And that's a huge problem, like you said, if there's any sort of Precisely, yeah. | ||
| What's interesting, go back to the 60s with those parents, I mean, and the whole hippie movement and all that and move 60s and 70s. | ||
| The whole thing back then was we were against the man. | ||
| The man was the government. | ||
| Those same people did a 180 during COVID. | ||
| Yeah, I said trust the man and don't question science. | ||
| I laughed at it all the time. | ||
| I'm going, but that's what science does. | ||
| I have, I have. | ||
| When I hear people say those kind of things that in the 60s they were saying don't trust the man and they were against the man. | ||
| Even things like they were against the Vietnam War. | ||
| I push back and I don't think they actually were against the man or against the Vietnam War. | ||
| They just were against the people in power because they were out of power. | ||
| They were against the Vietnam War because America was fighting communists, in Vietnam, the North Vietnamese. | ||
| If it were, I mean, Jane Fonda went to Vietnam and she was very happy to take pictures with the Viet Cong, the fighters, the military of the North Vietnamese. | ||
| So it wasn't, I don't think that they were actually against the man. | ||
| They were against the United States. | ||
| They were against capitalism. | ||
| They were against the status quo here in the West. | ||
| But they weren't against the established, they weren't against powerful centralized government. | ||
| They were very pro-centralized government because they were communists. | ||
| They would call themselves anarchists and probably LARP as anarchists, but they certainly weren't. | ||
| But I think we're going to move on right now. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So from the post millennial, we'll go to jump to this story. | ||
| From the post millennial, breaking, Tulsi Gabbard terminates thirty seven security clearances for individuals relating to Russia hoax, politicizing and manipulating intelligence. | ||
| Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard has revoked thirty seven security clearances of current and former officials who have abused trust by politicizing and manipulating information. | ||
| This includes people who are involved in the Russia collusion hoax. | ||
| An ODNI memo dated Monday and first obtained by the New York Post stated that the president has directed that effective immediately, the security clearances of the following thirty seven individuals are revoked. | ||
| Among those who had their clearances stripped was a former top aid to Obama administration DNI James Clapper, Vin Hugan. | ||
| I'm pronouncing that name wrong. | ||
| Win? | ||
| Vin Win. | ||
| Vin Win? | ||
| NG U Y E N is Win. | ||
| Vietnamese name, yeah. | ||
| That is something else. | ||
| Their access to classified systems, facilities, materials, and information is to be terminated forthwith. | ||
| Any contracts or employment with the U.S. government by these thirty seven individuals is hereby terminated. | ||
| Any credentials held by these individuals must be surrendered to the appropriate security officers the memo stated. | ||
| It is the determination of this office that certain individuals have engaged in some or all of the following conduct undermining those standards to include politicization or weaponization of intelligence to advance personal interest, partisan or non objective agendas inconsistent with national security priorities, | ||
| failure to safeguard classified information in accordance with applicable laws, relations and agency policies, regulations and agency policies, failure to adhere to professional analytic tradecraft standards, and other conduct detrimental to the trust and confidence required for continued access to national security information. | ||
| Do you guys, is it your sense that there's going to be more of this coming or do you think that this is something that is finally reaching a peak and we'll see less of this in the future? | ||
| Well, there's certainly far more than thirty seven names as of this morning in the Intel community that are fighting tooth and nail to prevent the Patriot takeover of the United States government or the Patriot restoration of the United States government. | ||
| There's a lot of snakes in the Intel community. | ||
| So thirty seven names, that seems like a good start, I suppose. | ||
| But I mean, like I said, I mean, you see over and over again, there's a lot of shady stuff going on. | ||
| Well, there were fifty one. | ||
| There were 51, I think, that were on the initial, the people that signed the Russia, Russia, Russia steel dossier. | ||
| They said, oh, this is actually Russia collusion and stuff. | ||
| And so, I mean, I don't know how many they've got already. | ||
| I know that they've done at least a handful already before this week, but I don't know what their total is. | ||
| It's been a trickle thus far. | ||
| This seems like the first big batch to get their security clearances yanked. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, like I said, I think the rot goes far deeper than the, not just the Intel community, but national intelligence, broadly speaking. | ||
| A lot for the people that are critical of the administration, do you think that this is a demonstration that they are actually doing the things that they said they were going to do? | ||
| Do you think that, and I don't think that this will, personally, I don't think that this is actually going to, you know, satisfy the people that are like, well, I don't, we haven't seen enough arrests and stuff. | ||
| But do you think that this indicates that the administration is doing the things that they ran on and they are looking to, to, you know, sniff out the, the bad actors? | ||
| So I could be out of my depth here, but as I understand, these people aren't actually, search shorts, search says I probably am out of my depth, depth, but I don't think these people are actually receiving any intelligence that the security clearance like is enables them to receive. | ||
| So I'm not sure how relevant it is at this point in time for former DNI James Clapper or Vin Nguyen to have his security clearance stripped, because I'm not sure it really matters at this point. | ||
| So unless I'm missing something here, it just feels like some red meat for the base, because I know he was making some promises to come after some people who were perpetuating the Russia collusion hoax, including Peter Schiff, who I believe they're going after for mortgage fraud and something else related to the Russia collusion hoax. | ||
| Well, he and Schiff actually had to open up a defense fund recently as a result of that stuff. | ||
| So even if these don't bear much fruit, the investigations in and of themselves is a punishment for a lot of these Democrats. | ||
| So these are just security clearances. | ||
| So unless I'm missing something here, I don't know if this is just posturing. | ||
| Well, the big thing is this is a huge hit for them in the private sector because in the private sector, the security clearance is worth a lot of money. | ||
| We're talking potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars lately at my table. | ||
| So this is like a huge hit. | ||
| My ex wife had a security clearance for a while when she went from working when she went from from being in the Marine Corps to working in the private sector, the amount of money that she could pull in right out of as an E5. | ||
| She or she got out of the Marine Corps as an E5 and her first job, she was making a boatload of money. | ||
| And it was just because of the security clearance. | ||
| It's not that, you know, it's not that she was, she was doing something totally different than what she did in the, uh, in the Marine Corps, but with that security clearance, it really does benefit. | ||
| Do you think, Kevin, do you think that this is something that, do you think that this is just a punishment where that losing of the security clearance is actually like losing? | ||
| you know, the ability to make money. | ||
| And do you think that this is, even if they don't have the ability to arrest them, they're going to say, well, you know what? | ||
| You behave this way and we know you did. | ||
| And so we're going to take your security clearance so that way you can't capitalize on it? | ||
| Well, I mean, as you all mentioned, I think it is a showcase, certainly, but I think there's a lot more names in the well than they're pulling out right now. | ||
| And maybe they're sending a signal with it. | ||
| Look, if you look back at the Russian inclusion, we all knew it was a joke. | ||
| We all knew it was a beginning with. | ||
| I mean, do you think Putin wants Trump in office? | ||
| Of course he wants Biden. | ||
| Of course he wants Hillary. | ||
| He doesn't want it because he knows he can push those guys around. | ||
| He can't push Trump around. | ||
| There's no way he'd want them in there. | ||
| So for them to go through this, I think they should be punished for it in some way because it was a joke. | ||
| They all knew they were lying. | ||
| Schiff is at the head of it all. | ||
| But, you know, I think it's good. | ||
| I think it's a start. | ||
| At least it shows something out there. | ||
| But I think there's bigger fish to catch out there and I hope they do it. | ||
| I mean, yeah, this is what keeps people around the deep state, so to speak. | ||
| I mean, it is very real. | ||
| This is the type of thing we're referring to as these bureaucrats that maintain the benefits even after a new administration has come in. | ||
| So, A, this cuts them off from the private sector. | ||
| So it cuts them off from a lot of wealth. | ||
| And also, if God forbid a Democrat does come into office in 2028, it's going to make appointing a lot of these people re-entry into the government a lot more difficult because now they have to, you know, re-enter the security clearance process. | ||
| But I think Nancy Pelosi will still give them stock tips. | ||
| So they're probably doing okay. | ||
| If she's around then, I mean, she's a, you know, she's she's she's she's an old lady now. | ||
| Um, but she, you know, nobbody can pick stocks like Pelosi to your point, Tate, the revolving door. | ||
| I do think that that's worth mentioning. | ||
| This is actually likely to close that revolving door on a lot of these people. | ||
| So and taking away the ability for them to come back. | ||
| It is something we talked about, you know, I think we talked about it last night, if the Democrats win, the whole bureaucracy will be reinstalled, right? | ||
| So the next time that a Democrat is elected to the office of president, they're going to appoint a lot of the same people and a lot of the same kind of people, the people that are that believe that the administrative state is necessary and that it is more important to have the administrative state as opposed to making the rules as opposed to Congress making the rules. | ||
| And I think that's one of the major problems that we have in the US right now that Congress has abdicated their responsibilities and they've handed it over to the bureaucracy because the bureaucrats are the ones that stay there. | ||
| The bureaucrats are the ones that don't go away. | ||
| If a Congressperson, you know, if they make a vote that their constituents don't like, they can lose their job. | ||
| So why make a vote when you can just hand off the, you know, the responsibility to Congress? | ||
| Well, I mean, it's true across the world that governments that are not accountable to a democratic system are much more agile. | ||
| They can make long term plans. | ||
| So it makes sense that even within democracies like the United States, even though we're a constitutional republic, but they've sort of hammered in a lot of democratic institutions that didn't exist in the Founders' eyes. | ||
| That's neither here nor there. | ||
| The problem is, yeah, like you said, it's going to create an incentive for Congress to kick the long term strategic planning off to bureaucrats because they're concerned about winning another election. | ||
| So the best they can do is just provide enough red meat to get across the finish line for the next election and let the bureaucrats figure out all the long term strategic planning. | ||
| That's how you end up with forever wars. | ||
| That's how you end up with, you know, ridiculous tax systems. | ||
| That's how you end up with ridiculous social programs because those programs are not., the bureaucrat or the congress people are not held accountable for those programs in the eyes of the voters. | ||
| They can just pond it off to someone. | ||
| And that's one of the ways that, or that's one of the ways that we have moved away from being a representative republic. | ||
| You know, the, the fact that our representatives don't actually take votes, they don't, or they don't make votes, they're not held accountable. | ||
| They've delegated that responsibility to the bureaucrats, and the bureaucrats don't answer to the voters at all. | ||
| So I don't think that it's accurate to say that we're a, a democracy. | ||
| And we're definitely not a republicblic. | ||
| Definitely not a republic. | ||
| Because we don't have representatives anymore. | ||
| So when people say that we're an oligarchy, I don't think that's accurate either, but I'm not sure exactly what type of government we could actually say that we do have now. | ||
| Well, I think the next, the midterms are important. | ||
| I think we need to get a few more seats in Congress, but I'm going to go on the limit here. | ||
| I think we're going to hold the presidential office till at least through 44. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 44. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| There's enough Trump's out there. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| I think Vance gets it and I think Rubio gets it right after that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, look, it would be really cool. | ||
| I mean, I would like to see that because, like I said,, I think that should the Democrats get back into office, should they take over the government again, you will see the bureaucracy come back with a vengeance. | ||
| I think that they will attack conservatives. | ||
| But they're doubling down now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They don't seem to have learned anything. | ||
| It's just they're more angry about things. | ||
| Well, I mean, there could even be a situation, a nightmare situation I've seen proposed by a few anons on Twitter is when you clear out these career bureaucrats that have been in there since the eighties and nineties, that if, again, I don't think it's likely, but if a Democrat were to get back in and they could reinstall a bureaucracy, you're going to bring new blood in and those are going to be activists. | ||
| Those are going to be your protesters from Columbia and NYU, you're going to have an entirely new bureaucratic class and they're going to be far more fired up, have far more of a chip on their shoulder. | ||
| Do you think that that is something that the general public is aware of? | ||
| I understand there's a lot of people that are like, well, you know, I don't really like the Republicans or I don't really like Trump. | ||
| That's fairly normal, but do you think that the danger of having progress, real progressives in positions of considerable political power is something that the average voter is cognizant of? | ||
| Do you think that's something they think of? | ||
| Because it will mean really bad things because what the left really has been doing in the past 10 years or so is completely hollowing out the middle class. | ||
| They want to have elites and a class that's basically dependent on the government. | ||
| They don't want a middle class. | ||
| A middle class is an empowered class. | ||
| A middle class can make decisions on their own, make decisions about their own life. | ||
| They're generally informed. | ||
| But if you have a dependent class and an elite class, but no middle class, then you can really use the government to keep the dependent class in line and keep them doing the things that you want. | ||
| And you obviously the elite classes is going to live on, you know, live it up. | ||
| So I'm not as hopeful as Kevin about Republicans maintaining the executive until 2040. | ||
| I like his positive attitude. | ||
| But I do suspect that the thing about President Trump is that I think he's a very unique figure in how he was able to completely rally all these different parts of the Republican Party that I don't think a future Republican would be able to do in the same way that he has. | ||
| Trump was able to bring like pro life people, neocons, all these Tratcons, different religious groups, Zionists, everybody together, anti woke people, anti-communists, all together in this rare coalition that I think JD Vance might not be able to or Marco Rubio might not be able to. | ||
| And moreover, I don't think you guys are going far enough with what I believe the Democrats will do once they get back into power, which at this point I kind of think is an inevitability because of the uniqueness of how uniting a figure President Trump was. | ||
| Not just like dealing with bureaucracies, but the way the Democrats talk about our country is that they want it to be a democracy. | ||
| They see our constitutional republic. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| They see Congress and the way that senators are appropriated to states as an issue, as a shortcoming of our country and that this stops us from being a total democracy is and that's what they really want to be. | ||
| So an inevitability that I believe we'll see with the next Democratic president is the inclusion of Puerto Rico or DC as a state. | ||
| And those will permanently give the Democrats another handful of senators and also people in the House. | ||
| Moreover, they're going to continue trying to flood our country with immigrants and then use the census to try to appropriate different more reps into areas where they don't belong. | ||
| And then also packing the Supreme Court, I suspect they will do, because they will not be able to put up with this conservative majority Supreme Court for a few more decades to come. | ||
| So I think they're going to use the pretext of what President Trump did in Texas with redistricting. | ||
| as an excuse for what they're going to do once he is out of power. | ||
| And you could tell Trump's a little bit concerned about losing the House because he felt as though it was necessary to redistrict in Texas. | ||
| He felt it was necessary that Elise Stefanik stayed in her house seat in New York and not go to the United Nations and not be an UN ambassador. | ||
| Do you think that what he's outlining in Trump, I think he's probably right about Trump. | ||
| Do you think that that's just smart politics though? | ||
| I mean, yeah, I mean, it's a razor, razor, razor, the House majority is razor tight. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, keep Stefanik there. | ||
| Keep, was Mike Lawyer was tipped for a gig. | ||
| He didn't want to be, there are considerations of him running for governor, but the president would have. | ||
| preferred him to stay in the House. | ||
| I mean, why else would he have redistricted Texas on an off year? | ||
| It's traditionally done every ten years. | ||
| Well, because of the exodus from California. | ||
| There's a lot and because of the import of all the illegal aliens that came in during the Biden administration. | ||
| So to redistrict, the point is, I think, and I think this is partly what Trump was thinking. | ||
| Not that I think, not that I disagree with you, because I think you're right. | ||
| It is. | ||
| I think he's just finding an excuse to get more house seats, which I don't blame him for. | ||
| Because if he lost a house, then he would be impeached. | ||
| No, I think I agree with that. | ||
| But I don't think that's the only thing. | ||
| Because if you look at the way that the Democrats have done the gerrymandering. | ||
| in basically the whole country. | ||
| They have really maximized everywhere they can. | ||
| We showed a map the other day of kind of who looks to benefit the most if there's gerrymandering and the Republicans have a lot of room. | ||
| There's a lot of places where they can change the congressional maps and actually benefit a lot. | ||
| The Democrats maybe could squeak out three or four more seats, but if the Republicans are like, we're going to go, we're going to fight this and we're going to fight fire with fire and we're going to do a bunch of gerrymandering too. | ||
| Look, they're they can produce a whole lot more seats than the Democrats can because the Democrats have been. | ||
| so effective in the past. | ||
| Not saying that Republicans haven't done it because of course they have, but the Democrats have really been able to maximize it. | ||
| So I think that that's I feel like that's something that Donald Trump is aware of and it's something that he's looking to, you know, ameliorate. | ||
| He's looking to fix because there's a lot of states that are that don't have any representation for the Conservatives. | ||
| You get like 35, 40 percent of the state like Massachusetts, right? | ||
| That's the state that I grew up in. | ||
| 35, 40 percent of the state went for Donald Trump. | ||
| So obviously it's clearly not a majority, clearly a majority Democrat, but there's no representation for any of the conservatives in the whole state. | ||
| Massachusetts has zero Republican Republicans in the House. | ||
| There's zero Republicans basically anywhere. | ||
| And there's multiple states like that. | ||
| So Minnesota's got the same problem. | ||
| Minnesota, I mean, everybody I know in Minnesota is conservative. | ||
| If you look, if you break into each into each county down, most of it is red. | ||
| It's just around the, you know, Minneapolis, St. Paul area, maybe down Rochester and all kinds, but it's changed so much. | ||
| My buddies are all going, I don't know what to do with this thing, but you're talking about the people moving. | ||
| Everybody left California because of what they've done to Democrats in that state. | ||
| But what a lot of these people are Democrats myself, and they leave and go into Vegas and Nevada., they go in Arizona, they go to Texas, and they still vote the same way. | ||
| That's the amazing thing to me. | ||
| So I don't think, no, look, I'm not that educated with all the stuff you guys are talking about either, but I think I keep a more of a finger out than the average person out there. | ||
| I think they just watch, you know, the daily news and maybe whatever, John Stewart, and that's where they get their news. | ||
| So they don't get, I mean, a different perspective of it. | ||
| I flip channels because I find it kind of interesting. | ||
| We go between CNN going to the, you know, British watching them. | ||
| I mean, it's interesting to get three different stories on the same story. | ||
| So, you know, it's just a matter of people wanting to get educated with it, and I don't think they want to. | ||
| They just made up their minds. | ||
| They moved into the state, and they wrecked it. | ||
| Look, they wrecked Colorado. | ||
| Look what happened to Colorado. | ||
| And it's because of. | ||
| two cities, basically Duffer and Boulder, right? | ||
| I think the easy ways, it's going to take a long time to turn us into the socialist country they want. | ||
| Why don't they just go to Venezuela now? | ||
| It's waiting for them. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It's their utopia waits. | ||
| Just go down there. | ||
| I'll use our tax dollars that way and give them a first class flight one way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, you're going to see the redistricting. | ||
| There's going to be a lot more options for red states if the SCOTA decides how we think they are with the race-based districting case out of Louisiana. | ||
| I mean, because there's there's a lot of seats that are up for grabs, mostly in state houses. | ||
| I mean, this whole thing started because the Louisiana Senate added two black districts in Louisiana and they got sued because it's like you can't that's just ridiculous. | ||
| This is 2025. | ||
| We're not going to do race based districts one way or the other. | ||
| So again, that will create some opportunities for red states to squeeze more red districts. | ||
| So the one really funny part about redistricting is that obviously it's tit for tat, so like we'll see California now do some redistricting and we'll go back and forth. | ||
| But you know who really hates this? | ||
| Congress members. | ||
| Members of Congress obviously get pissed off because they're getting drawn out, both Republicans and Democrats from opposite sides of states. | ||
| So the one silver lining here is it's really funny that a bunch of Congress people are about to get cut out and be very pissed as a result of that. | ||
| That's why you've seen a few House members from like Republican and Democrats all of a sudden turn into Arnold and they're like, wait, no guys, gerrymandering's actually really bad. | ||
| We need to do something about it. | ||
| I don't blame them. | ||
| I don't blame them. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, because they know their gigs on the line and they got to start looking forward. | ||
| Well, that's why we need term limits, but that's another subject we can talk about. | ||
| That's another thing. | ||
| I'm not one hundred percent sure that term limits are going to fix anything because I think that that empowers the bureaucracy, right? | ||
| I mean, I agree. | ||
| You know, it's like, I love the idea. | ||
| Like the point is to be able to make sure that people aren't entrenched and that the or that the representatives aren't entrenched and that's a great goal. | ||
| But I I'm afraid that all that it would do is shovel more power to the bureaucracy because you got, you know, you got two terms or whatever as a senator or how many the Congress is only two years. | ||
| So by the time the Congress learns exactly, you know, basically how to do their job after the end of their first term, they've got two years before they're out. | ||
| So I don't, I don't hate the idea, but I do think that a lot of people think, well, just throw the bums out. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| That sounds great. | ||
| But remember, we have a problem with the bureaucracy here. | ||
| We don't have a problem so much with Congress. | ||
| Everybody hates Congress except for their own congressperson. | ||
| Everybody likes their own congressperson. | ||
| And poll after poll after poll. | ||
| after poll show that. | ||
| So as much as it would be great if we could just be like, well, throw the bums out, what you end up with, I think, is a lot of focus or a lot of power, a lot more power in the bureaucracy. | ||
| This is the map that's interesting. | ||
| This is the map we were talking about the other day, in a redistrict, Crystalissa, who is not a pro Trump guy, he's talking about in a redistricting war, Republicans would win and they would win by a lot. | ||
| Like there's a lot of room for Republicans to grow. | ||
| So if the Democrats want to do this, if they want to actually try to be like, oh, well, we'll redistrict and we'll show you, that's a terrible strategy. | ||
| They just don't have the room to grow the way that Republicans do. | ||
| So I mean, look, I'm not for this kind of redistricting war, but if the Democrats want to, they're going to lose. | ||
| Yeah, this is the reality that they have to face. | ||
| So I honestly, I think that I think that they're just posturing because I think that the smart Democrats know this. | ||
| So I think that it's all just them trying to, you know, trying to frighten people or trying to posture conservatives. | ||
| I mean, I think this is an inevitability because we're just seeing any and I'm not saying this is inherently a good thing because often when you hear bipartisan actually means you're about to get screwed over. | ||
| But I think this has been the direction we're heading For a while, as any sense of bipartisanship would be going out the window. | ||
| And I think to a certain degree, states that did, you know, allow the opposing party a few seats. | ||
| I think Jerry Manning is going to really, really become the new standard, squeeze as many of the opposing party seats out as possible. | ||
| I think as a country, we're just going to be divided further and further. | ||
| So I don't think this is really surprising whatsoever. | ||
| This is just like a natural direction we're going in. | ||
| Pretext for escalation when a Democrat inevitably gets back in. | ||
| They'll run on this and say the Republicans are destroying our democracy by redistricting mid-decade and we have to do., add more states as a result of this. | ||
| We have to pack the court because the judges that Trump put in were illegitimate. | ||
| And that's what will, and they'll use this as the pretext. | ||
| I do think that you're right. | ||
| They will use this as the pretext, but I don't think, I think that when they get back in, when and if they get back in power, they will do all the things that we talked about, regardless of whether conservatives do this because there's no reason for them to not. | ||
| I mean, they're convinced, they're convinced to speak to your average medium democrat. | ||
| They're convinced that Trump is trying to institute the Fourth Reich in the United States. | ||
| So obviously they're going to try to make Puerto R Rico a state or whatever, because it's like they're convinced they're in a movie and that they're like the Rebel Alliance. | ||
| Ever since basically Barack Obama, they thought that okay, the Democrats are now going to control the government. | ||
| The real competition is going to be who gets to be the Democrat nominee, the Republicans are going to be just a regional party. | ||
| They're not going to ever have serious power again. | ||
| They erroneously thought that and they got really complacent and then they met Donald Trump as a candidate and everything changed. | ||
| And one of the things that happens when it comes to the Democrats is if they lose ground. | ||
| They don't just say, oh, well, we'll get him next time. | ||
| They literally freak out. | ||
| That's why everyone was so apoplectic when Donald Trump won. | ||
| That's why you saw people, the leftists in DC literally screaming when Donald Trump was inaugurated on the 20th of January 2017. | ||
| They were absolutely besides themselves because they thought that they had a permanent power base. | ||
| They thought that they would not ever lose control. | ||
| And they thought from here on out, it was whatever progressives and Democrats wanted and to lose that power. | ||
| They don't know how to deal with it because it's not just a matter of, okay, next time we'll adjust our message and we'll go to the people and we'll make a better argument. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| They're not interested in making arguments. | ||
| They're interested in expanding the court. | ||
| They're interested in ending the electoral college and they're interested in adding states. | ||
| That's not what you do when you lose in a democracy. | ||
| What you do is say, we need to get, make our arguments better. | ||
| We need to convince the American people why these things are right and we need to change our platform so that way the American people want to vote for us, but they're not interested in doing that. | ||
| They don't have any, they have not done any soul searching. | ||
| Maybe Gavin Newsom did because Gavin Newsom's out there doing the podcasts and stuff and he's got a good media team. | ||
| So maybe there are a handful of them, but the vast majority of the influential Democrats have done no soul searching. | ||
| They're not interested in doing that. | ||
| They're interested in doing whatever they can to put Donald Trump in jail. | ||
| which they tried. | ||
| They will do all these things should they get back into power. | ||
| They will do the expand the core, all that stuff. | ||
| That stuff is definitely coming. | ||
| And I personally think that they'll do a whole lot more. | ||
| I think that they'll look to put people like Tim Poole or people that are conservatives that have People that are conservatives that have an influential voice, they'll put those people in jail. | ||
| They'll do everything they can to make sure that you can't, you know, they'll have the DOJ and say, oh, this is, we've got this thing on you because they did it to Donald Trump and it almost worked. | ||
| If they get back into power, they'll do it again and they'll be, they'll do it with two, three times, ten times the force because they believe that they are entitled to power, they're entitled to be in charge, they're entitled to rule and they will smash their political opponents. | ||
| I don't, I don't think that there's a big, there's a, there's a compelling argument against that. | ||
| And I do think you're right completely, one hundred percent dead on, but I don't think that not doing these things will prevent them. | ||
| I think that the die has already been cast. | ||
| They, as soon as they get into power, and I mean, they've they've talked about all those things so many times, they're they're they're going to do it. | ||
| You know, it's funny you named Job Newsom because I think I think he said he'd draw out all but one Republican in California, I think he said something along those lines. | ||
| And I mean, the incentive structure is set up such that if he wants to run for president down the line, this is what he should be doing, right? | ||
| The Democrats want to see one of their own so called fighting back against the president. | ||
| And Gavin's doing just that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And he's a handsome, he's a handsome guy. | ||
| So you should vote for him. | ||
| I'm a Californian. | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| I'm just it's just funny. | ||
| I mean, you know, here's the guy. | ||
| He can't put any water in the five hydrants. | ||
| And it's a guy that's the, you know, the number one salesman for UHAL. | ||
| But it's just really strange for me that this guy's able to, he'll run. | ||
| He'll be, he'll be the guy they put out there. | ||
| He'll probably be the nominee. | ||
| But how do they think they can get the message across when they put Harris and Biden in office? | ||
| Because those people can't talk their way out of anything. | ||
| I mean, it was it was amazing to me that, well, did they really get in office? | ||
| But that's another thing we're going to talk about. | ||
| Our boy Tate here has a great point that he likes to make. | ||
| And that's people vote on vibes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| America is a very vibes based country and evidence for this. | ||
| is Gavin Newsom's adoption of Trump's mannerisms and his tweeting style, which is hilarious because it's kind of there's two concessions happening there. | ||
| The first concession is Gavin Newsom and the left broadly conceding that America, Trump embodies America so well that his style of communication embodies like an American style of communication and that they're conceding that he's funny and that it's a really funny way of communicating. | ||
| So they're not even really mocking Trump when they're using his tweets and stuff. | ||
| They're almost just saying, yeah, this is a really funny way to talk. | ||
| And then the second concession is that they've gone too far in the anti American direction that they're seen as anti patriotic. | ||
| An exhibit A for this was in Gavin Newsom State during the LA riots when they're flying Mexican flags everywhere in Guatemala, Nicaragua, da da da da da da, as they started begging these protesters to fly American flags because they're like, guys, I know you're doing something really anti American, but at least like have the pretense, make it look patriotic, start waving American flags around, that sort of thing. | ||
| So there's two concepts. | ||
| They're all passing them around. | ||
| They're putting their white guy flags around. | ||
| They know how bad it looks. | ||
| You know, Newsom does give off the chill white guy vibes, if you will, and Democrats are trying to win that vote back over. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Because they lost it in the previous election. | ||
| So I think that's what they're going back to. | ||
| Trying to get back some of the white. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he gives, you know, he's a good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| White face, if you will. | ||
| After Kamala got hooped like that, every the DNC is going to look like a Vineyard Vines ad next 2028. | ||
| It's going to be like it's going to be like White Boy Central. | ||
| Because that, I mean, that gives off those vibes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| At least that's what the establishment. | ||
| I mean, dude, they're like, there's these elected bros on Twitter and they're like begging Democrats to consider Andy Besheer. | ||
| Because they're just, they just want to win so bad. | ||
| And they know the way to do that is they put up just like a normal, normal, like white guy. | ||
| Because, I mean, they literally DEI Kamala. | ||
| Like Biden literally said, I'm going to nominate a black woman for vice president. | ||
| Was it not? | ||
| That was her qualifications. | ||
| During the COVID pandemic, it was him. | ||
| It was Newsom. | ||
| Yeah, he was. | ||
| That's such a white boy thing to do. | ||
| Like during the pandemic, oh, I need to take my girl out to the fancy restaurants too. | ||
| And I get caught there. | ||
| Of course I took my wife here. | ||
| What do you expect? | ||
| Like, I still have, yeah, I still have to put on for her. | ||
| There's almost there's almost a distinctively like an arrogant white guy. | ||
| There's such an arrogant white guy thing to do in a positive way. | ||
| There's like a distinctively American quality of just being like just this like greased hair, like slime, like I'll do anything to like win. | ||
| Like there's like a weird Machiavellian that's like, okay. | ||
| Granted, he's like basically a communist. | ||
| So that kind of falls short, but there is something refreshing about a guy that is so evil that he's like, I'll say whatever to what's that actor he's honest about it. | ||
| Brian Bateman. | ||
| Oh, Patrick. | ||
| Yeah, he's like Patrick Bateman of politics. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You need to say something. | ||
| I was going to say it's Dago coded. | ||
| It's very. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| He's going to go up there and lie to your face and get a coma. | ||
| No, if you now, if you look at the picture of his family, everybody's blonde and blue eyes. | ||
| That is, that is waspy as hell. | ||
| It's waspy as hell. | ||
| And to be honest with you, I don't know that the left, I really don't know that the left, especially in a primary, and we've probably talked about this a little bit, but I really don't think the left can bring themselves to vote for such a waspy looking guy. | ||
| Well, I mean, they did with Biden. | ||
| But they did with Biden and it took the If you really believe that he won then kosher, what? | ||
| I don't, I personally I think that's a conversation for another. | ||
| I think that it was a novel election and I think that if it were not for the fact that there were ballots mailed to everybody and there was there was voting harvesting, Biden would not win. | ||
| Honestly, I don't know that it was a win. | ||
| How to become a rabbi and to see if that election was kosher? | ||
| I don't think that I'm not well, I don't know that I think, but I am curious as to whether Democrats can win at all should they actually go to same day paper ballots. | ||
| That's what they should do and you need more male and votinging, it's ridiculous. | ||
| Yeah, I would love to see it. | ||
| Not racist to show an ID. | ||
| I mean, there's all kinds of stuff we can talk about here. | ||
| It just drives me crazy. | ||
| So okay. | ||
| Start at eight in the morning. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The polls close at eight in the evening. | ||
| They do in other countries. | ||
| It's what they do in Florida. | ||
| If you look at Florida, they have their S together when it comes to the way India knocks it out. | ||
| You know, I will say this, guys. | ||
| I know I feel as though male and voting lists might be getting a bad rap because of the previous election. | ||
| But I think they might actually skew to help Republicans because Republicans tend to skew older. | ||
| And if you skew older on election day, if there's something that g comes your way or there's bad weather, old people are less likely to vote. | ||
| And if you give them a week or so to kind of send in a mail and ballot in advance, I understand the security concerns of it, but I do feel as though it actually biases towards Democrats to have it only be if there's honest voting. | ||
| If there's honest, I mean, there's people are filling these things in by thousands and stuffing them in. | ||
| I mean, there's video footage. | ||
| Two Thousand Mule is a very interesting documentary that Dennis has put out there. | ||
| Well, I mean, all this is I think we're just putting band-aids on bolts holes. | ||
| And I think the Trump administration is aware of this. | ||
| And that's why they're cracking down on the immigration stuff so hard. | ||
| Because birthright citizenship is still in the books, SCODA still hasn't gotten rid of it. | ||
| And I don't know if they can. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| So it's like we're just looking at a ticking clock because there's still tens of millions of illegal immigrants in this country that are having children. | ||
| And those children will vote Democrat because, I mean, they feel victimized by the Trump administration. | ||
| Of course, they're going to have a chip on their shoulder. | ||
| Hey, who knows, the president Trump has been winning over a lot of these Hispanic voters. | ||
| And the districts that he's redrawing in Texas are actually there's so many Hispanics on those border towns that he's redrawing. | ||
| These are, these are Tejanos that have been there for four or five. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's like Mexican Americans in Texas that have been there for generations because you can tell. | ||
| because Hispanics in California vote like 70, 30 Democrats, while Hispanics in Texas are now voting Republican. | ||
| But the big difference is that Hispanics aren't this monolith is because the Hispanics in Texas have been there for generations, right? | ||
| I mean, many of them can trace their lineage from before the Texas Revolution versus California, they've all arrived in the last two generations. | ||
| I do feel like there is this growing brand of Hispanics that is also increasingly anti immigrant even towards other Mexicans that want to keep American great again, that are Mexicans that don't want to be taken advantage of who came in the legal way and see those other people taking advantage and feel like they got the short end of the stick. | ||
| That's the short end of the stick. | ||
| So I know many, I agree with you. | ||
| I know many when I lived in LA, I know many of those guys. | ||
| I met quite a few of them saying the exact same thing you just said now. | ||
| Well, it was really funny because the Republicans from Reagan on, they made this bet that they could import Hispanic labor, but somehow they would convince them to vote Republican through like emphasizing free market values or like maybe saying, Oh, they're Catholic. | ||
| They're naturally conservative. | ||
| And it didn't really work. | ||
| And then Trump came along and didn't pander at all. | ||
| He's just like, Hey, we're going to make America great. | ||
| If you want to make America great with me, you can. | ||
| I'm not even going to translate that to Spanish. | ||
| Just figure it out. | ||
| And they're like, Oh great. | ||
| You're treating me like a human being. | ||
| Yeah, I'll vote for you. | ||
| And it's like, you don't need to panderander to these people. | ||
| You just need to present a compelling future for the United States and they'll be along with that. | ||
| You don't need to treat them like idiots. | ||
| What if the Democrats, if you want to be treated like an idiot because of your race, you can vote for the Democrats. | ||
| What a thought. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're going to jump to this story now. | ||
| From the Hill Hill Hill Hillary Clinton, the Supreme Court will do to gay marriage what they did to abortion. | ||
| That that might actually happen. | ||
| Happy check true Hillary Clinton. | ||
| Damn. | ||
| 2016 Democrat presidential nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she believes the Supreme Court is poised to overturn its landmark ruling in Obergefell v. | ||
| Hodge, which effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide and that unmarried same-sex couples ought to consider tying the knot. | ||
| American voters and to some extent the American media don't understand how many years the Republicans have been working in order to get us to this point. | ||
| Clinton told Fox News host Jessica Tarlov on Friday in a wide-ranging interview on Raging Moderates. | ||
| The podcast Tarlov co-host was Scott Galloway. | ||
| Neither of those people are moderates. | ||
| It took fifty years to overturn Roe v. | ||
| Wade, Clinton said. | ||
| The Supreme Court will hear a case about gay marriage. | ||
| My prediction is they will do to gay marriage what they did to abortion. | ||
| They will send it back to the states. | ||
| Look, it did take fifty years to overturn Roe v. | ||
| Wade. | ||
| Roe v. | ||
| Wade was a terribly decided decision. | ||
| Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that it was a bad decision and the Republicans still did it the right way. | ||
| And this goes to our point earlier about the way that Democrats will exercise power versus the Republicans. | ||
| Republicans and the Libertarians are generally pretty guilty of this as well. | ||
| They will do the thing that they're supposed to do and go through the process in order to get the result that they want. | ||
| Fifty years they worked and worked and worked and worked and finally got it back in front of the SCOTUS when the SCOTUS had the makeup in a way that they would find in favor of putting abortion in the states' hands. | ||
| They didn't even get them to say abortion must be illegal nationwide. | ||
| All they did was say, we want it, you put it back in the states' hands. | ||
| That took them forever because the Republicans will do that. | ||
| The Democrats have no compunction with just grabbing power in any means necessary. | ||
| And I personally think the Republicans should behave in a similar fashion now. | ||
| And I understand that you, you have apprehensions or this is, you know, there's apprehensions that you have and they're legitimate. | ||
| It's not exactly apprehensions. | ||
| It's just understanding like cause and effect. | ||
| Like I don't want to be blind to the potential backlash that that's going to come here. | ||
| Go on. | ||
| I think that this is the example that I'm or the reason I bring this example up is because it doesn't actually it's not actually a cause and effect. | ||
| The cause that you're saying isn't what's going to cause Democrat isn't what's going to make Democrats do this. | ||
| The Democrats are going to do this because they don't care about process. | ||
| They don't care about anything other than amassing power and keeping it. | ||
| It's it's a fascinating conversation to have because I feel like Democrats would argue the same thing of Republicans. | ||
| A larger point I think., is that Democrats argue that men can become women. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| It's a very dumb argument that many of them make and I obviously think they're very wrong. | ||
| One thing I wanted to point out here, though, is like a reason that this is even a possibility is because there's a conservative majority on the Supreme Court right now. | ||
| Why is there a majority on the Supreme Court right now? | ||
| I know a lot of us might not talk about it because Mitch McConnell actually very skillfully allowed this majority to happen. | ||
| And one of the big points that Democrats actually harp on about and complain about the Supreme Court being illegitimate on is that they held the seat open that originally was going to go to Merrick Garland during the end of the Obama administration. | ||
| Instead, he didn't hold a vote on that seat and eventually Trump won the election and then he filled the seat with Neil Gorsuch, who was able to be confirmed through the Mitch McConnell led Senate. | ||
| So all this is really coming to fruition because of that. | ||
| But Democrats, again, would argue that they need to pack the Supreme Court because Mitch McConnell did that and Neil Gorsuch's appointment was illegitimate because they held that spot open during the end of the Obama term. | ||
| So all of that is to say that depending on which party you're from, you could point to different things and try to argue that things are legitimate or illegitimate. | ||
| I also want to say I think it's a fascinating political strategy by the Trump administration too. | ||
| You're you're overturning these laws but you're not setting them and you're letting the states decide instead. | ||
| So they overturned Roe v Wade but they didn't decide to make abortion illegal across the country. | ||
| And they're going to follow that same blueprint here. | ||
| So it seems with gay marriage. | ||
| And again, I think attitudes are changing surrounding gay marriage, but more than anything, this is a pushback against the excesses of the LGBTQ community. | ||
| This is a pushback in regards to drag queen story hours, to the trans issues. | ||
| People are just saying this has gone way too far and this is ultimately the result, even though I don't think that many people have a problem with gay marriage. | ||
| I think gay marriage should or marriage should be a religious institution, But we're far from that. | ||
| I know I just said a lot. | ||
| Does any of you have any thoughts? | ||
| I mean, I think Obergefell, if you're frustrated with the transgender ideology, if you're frustrated with the drag queen story hour, you can't just ratchet back the LGBT movement to an earlier stage and not expect the same result, because with Obergefell, what happened is in the eyes of the state, gender became interchangeable. | ||
| Because before that, marriage was a man and a woman. | ||
| You passed, Obergefell, gay marriage becomes the standard, becomes the view in the government's eyes now that you can swap a man out for a woman and it's still a marriage. | ||
| So the transgender movement started when this happened because that's when in the eyes of the state, gender became interchangeable and it was, you know, men, women, who cares, just hot. | ||
| I don't know if there's a gay consensus on the trans issue. | ||
| I'm sure there are many older gays who believe, is that the right way to call them? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Queer, older gays. | ||
| Queer is an identity. | ||
| They're just gays. | ||
| Older gay men who, you know, came up when they were younger and fought for their right to get married and now see the excesses of the left and now they see people become more frustrated with their community, might hold resentment towards some of these ultra progressives or ultra gays who go further in the LGBTQIA. | ||
| Well, I mean, I mean, it's great that they have their criticisms., but if they see that as an excess, it's like, well, you only have yourself to blame. | ||
| Like, you can't let a little bit in and not expect to get the whole, the whole package. | ||
| So it's like, you know, if you didn't gatekeep hard enough. | ||
| Well, it's not even you can't gatekeep an ideology. | ||
| It's either you, you either have it or you don't. | ||
| Like I said, you can't just ratchet it back to an earlier stage and not expect a similar result. | ||
| It's like, and then in this case, it only took them ten years to get where we're at now. | ||
| I mean, they just put their foot on the gas. | ||
| So, I mean, rightfully Americans, even if they haven't thought about the philosophical implications of gender becoming interchangeable in the eyes of the state, still the average American has the right now to be skeptical about anything the LGBT community wants to do because you're saying, well, you guys blame us. | ||
| Because you're saying, well, you guys blew it. | ||
| You did 15 years and now there's drag queen story hours and transgender nonsense. | ||
| Kevin, do you have any trans characters in any of your upcoming movies? | ||
| None that I know of. | ||
| If they are, they're pretty damn good at what they're looking at. | ||
| I mean, what I'm saying. | ||
| The characters are based around that. | ||
| No, not really. | ||
| I mean, I tend, I have no problem with it. | ||
| Look, almost every movie I've ever been on, every television show I've ever worked on, there's been someone gay or lesbian on the set. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I personally don't care what most people do with their lives in terms of their sexual lives or whatever like that. | ||
| I think what you mentioned with the religious world, I mean, the bearage comes from the Bible between a man and a woman. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| So to me, if you want to appease the religious crowd just get married but call it something else. | ||
| Call it a union. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Get the same rights, get the same tax benefits. | ||
| I have no problem with that. | ||
| That's what I mean. | ||
| Just by being a conservative myself and being a Christian, am I perfect in any of those things? | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| But I get attacked all the time on the internet saying I'm this and that. | ||
| Now they go, where's your proof? | ||
| Find one gay person. | ||
| I've been in the business for 45 years. | ||
| I've worked with gay people all night for 5 decades. | ||
| Find one that says he was so mean to me on the set. | ||
| He was rude. | ||
| He was an a hole. | ||
| I mean, all this, you won't find one. | ||
| But they love their labels. | ||
| They love their attack. | ||
| They love to just go after and they have nothing, no proof behind it whatsoever. | ||
| I could care less. | ||
| But once again, just, you know, it's just constant. | ||
| The power the Elfwood crowd has to just sit there and force all this stuff down saying, this is normal now. | ||
| This is normal now. | ||
| You know, do what you want to do. | ||
| But don't sit there and try to change the definition of things. | ||
| I mean, we used to call somebody that is, you know, that has changed their sex. | ||
| We used to say, well, that's mental illness. | ||
| Now we're supposed to just accept that as normal. | ||
| It isn't normal. | ||
| Do you believe that the overturning of Obergefell would be an excessive backlash from conservatives? | ||
| don't i don't know i mean to me it's to me you're looking at this i look at chuck schumer i got to say this for a second second because I got a big kick out of saying we got to make these 20 million. | ||
| I don't know how many millions came across. | ||
| I heard 10 million, 15 million, 20 million came across during Biden's term. | ||
| So you hear all of a sudden, we have to make them all legal right now because we got to replenish our workforce. | ||
| And I said, well, you got rid of the workforce with Roe v. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wade. | |
| You killed 65 million human lives. | ||
| I do a lot of pro-life speaking. | ||
| It's a human life. | ||
| There's a heartbeat of 22 days. | ||
| So that's 65 million. | ||
| How many more millions would have been born out of those people born in the 70s, 80s, and 90s? | ||
| We've probably got rid of 100 million people in this country. | ||
| 25% of Gen Z, not to get sidetracked, 25% of Gen Z was aborted. | ||
| I mean, that's your labor crisis right there. | ||
| It's it's it's unbelievable what they've done. | ||
| And these would have been educated people coming into the country, not people that were coming from poor countries with worse education than we got coming in here. | ||
| They're not going to be the ones filling up the workforce in a positive way with engineers and everything like that. | ||
| And it's we're changing the face of this country so quickly right now. | ||
| Well, there's just clearly, like you said, there's a it's a border it feels antihuman what's happening, this restructuring of our country at every level from our culture to our institutions to everything. | ||
| And like, I mean, that's kind of the same thing what we're talking about here is like Obergefeld was a is a shot fired by these antihuman people because they want to get the government to redefine what gender is. | ||
| That was the idea is they want men and women to be interchangeable. | ||
| It means nothing, because that's the point of liberalism. | ||
| Liberalism is blank slate theory, and what is more restrictive than having a gender, because that defines a lot of your characteristics. | ||
| So this is actually something that I've actually had a disagreement with Mary on. | ||
| I don't think that gender is even a real thing, right? | ||
| Like your biological sex is so Yeah. | ||
| But it matters. | ||
| It matters, because when you ask someone, what is gender? | ||
| It's essentially the way that they describe it, it's your sexual spirit, right? | ||
| And so, and the reason that I like, I said., Mary and I have a disagreement because she believes that human beings have a spirit, have a soul, and that the soul is gendered. | ||
| I as an agnostic, don't really have that same sense. | ||
| And I think that your sex, your biological sex, is the only thing that matters. | ||
| Your gender doesn't matter. | ||
| And as long as your, if your biological sex is the deciding factor, then all this gender nonsense can be ignored. | ||
| And oh, well, it's fine because their gender is interchangeable or gender can be changed. | ||
| That is all just an innovation in the past, whatever, fifty, sixty years. | ||
| And if we were, if we had a government that said, no, your sex is what's important and we don't even address gender, then you can actually get around all the stuff that you're talking about because you have a great point. | ||
| You're, you're totally right. | ||
| The way that the LGBTQIA groups have made people understand or convinced people to understand this innovation called gender is that it is something that isn't actually tied to your body. | ||
| It's not tied to your biology. | ||
| And that's wrong. | ||
| There are anomalies. | ||
| There are people that are less masculine and more masculine that are men and there are women that are more mas masculine and less masculine. | ||
| But by and large, men are far more masculine than women. | ||
| Women have certain traits that generally apply to their, to women, and men have certain traits that generally apply to men. | ||
| And it's it's it's it's it's it's enough where you can safely say, this is how men are. | ||
| This is how women are. | ||
| And of course there are some anomalies. | ||
| But without that, that the idea of gender, without the innovation of gender, you actually circumvent balance. | ||
| Well, I mean, I think gender is one to one with sex. | ||
| I mean, broadly speaking, it directly correlates. | ||
| But I mean, obviously, if you're agnostic, then I think at that point you should just view them and they're like synonyms effectively. | ||
| Or just like you said, ignore gender entirely. | ||
| But when you talk, I could have said sex for my entire rant and my point would have been the same. | ||
| But when you talk to the, when you talk to the crits, right, the gender crits, the critical gender theorists, you take away the whole foundation of all of their theory when you don't acknowledge gender. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, like, and I understand what you're saying, but they don't look at it the same way you do. | ||
| They look at gender as different. | ||
| They think gender, that you think gender changes. | ||
| That's why you get people that say, well, you know, right now my gender feels this way, but in two hours after I have a meal, my gender might be different. | ||
| You know, that's interesting. | ||
| That comes from the idea that gender is something that is more akin to a spirit than something that is tied to your biology, and we should abandon that idea. | ||
| I mean, that's totally fair. | ||
| I mean, for my entire rant I had earlier, I could have just said sex instead, and it would have been the exact same point I'm trying to make. | ||
| All I'm trying to say is, if you have frustration with the drag queens, with the transgender, this has to go, a burger fell has to go, and that you need the state to reorient around men and women as separate entities and respect those differences instead of just trying to turn us into blank slates. | ||
| Kevin, I wanted to ask, there's a narrative that Hollywood advances a lot of the so called LGBTQIA agenda. | ||
| As someone who's in the space, you know, can you confirm or deny how true that is or are these just groups of people working together? | ||
| Have you heard that stuff? | ||
| What do you think of it? | ||
| this really just, this is new to me over the last, like, ten years maybe or something like that. | ||
| Hollywood booted me out. | ||
| I'm the first cancel culture victim before it became a term. | ||
| Manager and agent, because of the things you're posting on the internet about COVID and things I was posting the truth, of course, I got blacklisted from Hollywood. | ||
| That's why my wife and I formed Sorbo Studios. | ||
| We're doing our own films, independent films. | ||
| And I do films at Hollywood.wood used to do. | ||
| They're not necessarily faith-based. | ||
| I think every movie's a faith-based. | ||
| If you're an atheist, that's a pretty strong faith. | ||
| To believe in absolutely nothing is a really strong faith. | ||
| So to me, it's like, I want to do movies that have hope and love and redemption. | ||
| It doesn't have to be, you better believe in God. | ||
| I just want to do nice movies that Hollywood used to do instead of the woke insanity they're doing. | ||
| I mean, I think over a billion dollars is what Disney's looking at this year as a loss. | ||
| So to me, I never. | ||
| I was well aware of, I mean, it's the conservatives that are in the closet now. | ||
| The gays are fully out of the closet in Hollywood. | ||
| It feels like the conservatives are out of the closet too now, doesn't it? | ||
| Well, not in Hollywood, you'd be surprised. | ||
| I mean, every movie I've been doing the last six, seven years, I'll get another actor, I'll get a hair person, a director, a light guy come up to me quietly like we're doing a drug deal and say, hey, thanks for being a voice for us. | ||
| And I go, be a voice for yourself. | ||
| Well, I'll get blacklisted like you. | ||
| And it has hurt people's careers. | ||
| I know a number of big named actors that are conservative. | ||
| I'm not going to name them because they said, well, I don't want it happened to me what happened to you. | ||
| But I said, look, I'm still making movies. | ||
| Hollywood doesn't call me anymore. | ||
| I've always found it childish. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| I don't get angry if someone's gay. | ||
| I don't get angry if someone's illiberal. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I don't be what you want to be. | ||
| But they have the power in Hollywood, so they do no longer let me read for any movies or any TV shows. | ||
| I got to find my own independent projects. | ||
| And to me, they're like seventh grade mean girls. | ||
| It's so immature and so childish that they don't work with me just because I happen to be a conservative. | ||
| It's weird to me. | ||
| But the parties have shifted. | ||
| I tell my liberal friends, look at JFK's inauguration speech in 1960 and find one Democrat who talks that way today. | ||
| You won't find it. | ||
| Even as recently as Bill Clinton, I feel like you'd be a conservative now. | ||
| Look, the second time I voted for Clinton the second time. | ||
| I didn't the first time. | ||
| I mean, he won, it was the lowest, anybody's ever won a percentage, right? | ||
| 38 percent or something. | ||
| Ross was involved. | ||
| Because Ross was there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I thought, you know what? | ||
| Guy did a good job. | ||
| And I voted for him. | ||
| I wouldn't vote for Hillary. | ||
| So that was, I was like, Jesus on the devil's lap. | ||
| He's laughing. | ||
| Well, I mean, it was even the 2008 Democrat nomination where they were accusing each other of being pro-gay marriage, which was, which is hilarious. | ||
| I mean, that just shows you how quickly this evolved specifically, but how quickly Democrats radicalized within 15, 20 years. | ||
| I mean, Republicans, there's all these, they showed these like graphs where it's like, look at the polarization. | ||
| The Democrats went this way and the Republicans went this way. | ||
| And I'm like, the Republicans are just tracking back to how they were in the 90s. | ||
| I mean, the average Republican, if you see how an average Republican would have shifted to the left. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| The average Republican in 1992, I mean, Pat Buchanan was a formidable candidate in presidential elections and he was fantastic and he outflanked every Republican to the right right right now. | ||
| And this is supposedly the most radical Republican party in history. | ||
| It's like, well, 1992, I mean, look at, yeah, like, is it Pat Buchanan who's a genius, by the way? | ||
| Yeah, the idea that the Republican Party right now is the most radical ever is absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| If you look at the way that Republicans or the way that anyone talked prior to World War II, that just, I mean, essentially it would make today's. | ||
| Democrats and a lot of today's Republicans just, you know, shiver in fear and say, You can't say that. | ||
| You can't say that. | ||
| You can't say that. | ||
| Things like talking about race the way they used to talk about race. | ||
| Like, absolutely not. | ||
| But we're going to jump to this story right now. | ||
| From the post millennial, Eric Adams slammed Zoharon Mamdani over socialists push for legalized prostitution. | ||
| Mayor Eric Adams has slammed socialist candidate for New York mayor Zoharon Mamdani as the candidate has pushed to decriminalize prostitution. | ||
| There is a difference between decriminalize and legalize, and I'm not sure which one they're talking about because decriminalize is just not effectively legalize., you can get a business license. | ||
| Well, yeah, but also that it starts to involve the courts. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, I'm sorry, involve the government. | ||
| You have to, it's not they, it wouldn't be, you can get, like, they would require a license. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The government. | ||
| Regulate it, it's on the books. | ||
| Decriminalize just means you won't go to jail. | ||
| Making it legalized allows it to be legally commercial and have the full power of legal markets and legal capitalism behind it, as opposed to decriminalization where it will still not be regulated, have their markets regulated. | ||
| I imagine that Zoran would not want it legalized, that he would want it decriminalized, because I imagine that he is not interested in making it something that capitalism can exploit for what, however, he would presume to be. | ||
| Anyways, I can't be more clear. | ||
| I'm a man of God. | ||
| Just as Mamdani says he's a Muslim, I don't know where in his Quran it states that it's okay for a woman to be on the street selling their body, Adam told reporters. | ||
| I don't know what Quran he's reading, it's not my Bible, he added. | ||
| As a man who said he is of faith, I don't quite understand what religion supports prostitution. | ||
| Mamdani, who claims to be a believing Muslim, has taken up the issue on multiple occasions since he ran for New York City Assembly in twenty twenty, according to the New York Post. | ||
| Prostitution is also very much against the tenants of Islam. | ||
| I think he's lost faith in the faithful. | ||
| Faith in the fact that sex trafficking is very much a part of prostitution, Adams added in his comments. | ||
| We are trying to bring down crime and he's talking about legalizing sex work. | ||
| You're not doing any service to a woman who's on the street who is forced to sell her body for whatever reason, he added, no one should be on our streets selling their bodies, no one. | ||
| Momdani, aside from other left wing policy, he has proposed during his campaign such as freezing rents, government run grocery stores, and raising the minimum wage to thirty dollars an hour, has co sponsored legislation in the New York Assembly that would legalize prostitution across the city. | ||
| If that is his belief, it is a danger for us our city, Adam said in his comments. | ||
| Our city needs to be a safe city. | ||
| It should not be a city where women are standing on corners or boys are standing on corners or young men are standing on corners selling their bodies. | ||
| Look, man, the idea that Zoran Momdani would not turn New York City of today into New York City of 1979 through 1985, I think that idea has sailed. | ||
| And I think that if you institute Zoran's policies or the policies that he's talked about, I think that's inevitable. | ||
| I mean, doesn't that seem to be the case? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, you go back to those decades at that time it was pretty scary New York City was not a good place we walk around I love the fact that some people say they miss that time that they miss the seediness of the city that way but it was so real back then it was so real it was so real the danger was excellent but but look where they're at right now I mean look what's happening in that city right now and look at the number of people have left I mean I escaped California seven years ago I live in this free state of Florida and the number of when COVID hit the number of people that came down from Connecticut Rhode | ||
| Island New York and Jersey just flooded New flooded it and really when I first got there this is interesting about Florida I know it's seguing a little bit here but Florida was used to be a swing state state, right? | ||
| It ain't anymore. | ||
| When I got there, I think there were 300,000 more Democrats registered seven years ago. | ||
| Now it's like 800,000 more Republicans registered. | ||
| It's no longer a swing state. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What I believe was extremely effective in this Eric Adams attack is that I don't know if he did it purposely or not, but he took note out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. | ||
| This is a far leftist who made a political strategy book, but one of the specific things he's using here is make them live by their own rules, exposing the hypocrisy and inconsistencies in the opponent's declared principles and actions and prostitution. | ||
| is not consistent with the beliefs in Islam. | ||
| I don't think this is the only inconsistency that exists within his policy proposals, but I think that's what will make this such an effective, potent attack. | ||
| And I think Mayor Adam should continue attacking Mom Dani in this fashion. | ||
| However, ultimately, I don't think this would lead him to be successful in the race. | ||
| He's polling at half of what Andrew Cuomo's polling at. | ||
| He's polling at nearly what the Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, who should also probably drop out, and we'll see if President Trump decides to get involved one way or another in the race to ultimately, if these guys ultimately want to stop Mom Dani, they will need to put their egos aside. | ||
| I know I'm asking a lot of a politician there to put their egos aside because I ultimately doubt either will because again, all these guys have extremely huge egos. | ||
| One other tidbit I wanted to say here is that if we do get to the point where prostitution is legalized, it would be such an unfortunate state of the market for the women in our country. | ||
| If we make the most lucrative thing in our country that a woman could do be prostitution if a woman has no skills and a young 18 19 20 23 whatever and the most lucrative thing that a young woman like this can do is go into prostitution. | ||
| I don't want to make the incentive structure such that for young women to highly incentivize them to do so. | ||
| And by legalizing prostitution, that's what we. | ||
| would effectively be doing in our country. | ||
| I don't know that there's a huge moral hazard. | ||
| I don't know that it would be actually the most lucrative thing that they can do. | ||
| I mean, like a young unskilled woman, fans is like instant millionaire. | ||
| No, it's not the average. | ||
| A lot of these. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| No, hold on. | ||
| The average only fans girl. | ||
| Oh, makes like $150. | ||
| There are exceptions, but they they average like $150. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then when you think, if you're talking about streetwalkers, they're not making a lot of money. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| I think, I think, I think, like New Zealand, the Netherlands, they actually do make quite a bit of money. | ||
| That's not streetwalkers. | ||
| Those are, that's what happens when prost prostitution becomes regulated. | ||
| No, so bordels, massage parlors, escorts, it's a much more lucrative job for most unskilled women compared to what they would do otherwise. | ||
| And if that's what the fact of the matter is, then we're setting up young women to be taken advantage of, and if we want to prevent a whole generation of young women getting involved in this work for the money, I could be wrong, but I don't think that it's actually that lucrative for the average woman. | ||
| Not the average woman. | ||
| Compared to a low, like a low and unskilled woman versus like a fry cook or something? | ||
| Probably, yeah. | ||
| I mean, you know, like if you're a cashier or you're, you know, like. | ||
| there's a lot of unskilled labor. | ||
| If you're a cashier and you're attractive, but like the idea that you can be a cashier, like an unattractive woman, is not going to be pulling in a lot of money. | ||
| Like I, I, and again, I don't I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if I want to get into the market in the numbers. | ||
| I suspect women in massage parlors can make a lot more money being prostitutes than giving massages. | ||
| Like I know that they're you're reading between the lines. | ||
| I do. | ||
| New York City has already to some degree decriminalized prostitution because the rub and tugs, the women are not prosecuted. | ||
| They only prosecute the pimps. | ||
| And the owners, and I forget most of those women are trafficked, aren't they? | ||
| They tend to be often, yeah, they're often foreign, they're often trafficked, but they don't prosecute the women anymore. | ||
| You know, whatever. | ||
| I don't, I don't, I've never looked into if that actually helps crack down or if that helps improve the standards. | ||
| I doubt it. | ||
| I doubt that actually improves anyone's lives. | ||
| You should probably just decriminalize the, or sorry, you should probably criminalize every aspect of prostitution. | ||
| They're everywhere in Queens, especially. | ||
| I mean, it gets bad. | ||
| I'm not, you know, an expert on the locations, but it's, it's, there's kind of running jokes. | ||
| Like, I think it's what Northern Avenue in Queens is like, just this, you know, open air, like prostitution. | ||
| I mean, it looks like Amsterdam, like it's crazyzy. | ||
| It's very prevalent. | ||
| And no, it's just like a lot of saying is like just in general having prostitution being lucrative to any degree is just such a tragic reflection on your society. | ||
| And I think the last thing you want to do is like enfranchise that in any way, any meaningful way. | ||
| I just don't imagine that, you know, the making prostitution legal makes it lucrative. | ||
| I feel like it is the kind of thing that I feel like it's the kind of thing that, like, you go into only if you have to because there's not, it's, there's not a lot of money. | ||
| It's dangerous. | ||
| Even if there's, even if they decriminalize it and they. | ||
| can actually go to the police. | ||
| Maybe I'm tripping, but I think strippers make a ton of money. | ||
| And I mean, strippers are different than prostitutes. | ||
| They're, you know, I think they're very vaguely the same, at least in a religious worldview. | ||
| No, I think they put out too. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't visit strip clubs frequently. | ||
| I think they would. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Probably, right? | ||
| I've been to a lot of strip clubs and they, I'm 50 years old, bro. | ||
| And you're a rock. | ||
| And I was, I've been in Iraq for 25 years. | ||
| I mean, that is not something that happens regularly. | ||
| I mean, I think it's just... | ||
| Like, if you can. | ||
| Uber a prostitute. | ||
| Like the way technology will evolve with this industry if it becomes legalized will be disgusting and horrible. | ||
| And worse than I can imagine. | ||
| Like they've done this thing where they just don't let you as a society, they don't let you criminalize behaviors that are corrosive to the human spirit. | ||
| Like they call it a victimless crime. | ||
| It's like, I don't need a victim involved to just want to disincentivize something that's bad for people. | ||
| Like, I'm so tired of this live and let live liberal attitude. | ||
| It's like, no, if something is bad for a human being, you can justify banning it. | ||
| Your society should be a reflection of good characteristics. | ||
| And America was that for a long time. | ||
| You're telling me there are things that you can do in the bedroom that affect society that are bad. | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| Yes, 100%. | ||
| Yes, there's like doggy style. | ||
| Every. | ||
| It's bad for it. | ||
| I mean, I'm a bit of a purist. | ||
| It's humanizing. | ||
| Every, yeah, every personal decision. | ||
| Society is just a culmination of personal decisions. | ||
| That's all it is. | ||
| That's all it is. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, so look, I'm, I'm, I'm completely, you know, I don't think that decriminalizing or legalizing prostitution in New York City or anywhere else is going to be, is going to produce positive results. | ||
| It is typical of, stop it. | ||
| It is typical of the, of the left to say, you know, to, desire these kind of things, you know. | ||
| I love the Islam standard he's holding him to. | ||
| He's like, come on, is that kosher in the Quran? | ||
| I mean, is that is that halal? | ||
| It's it's not halal. | ||
| It's not halal. | ||
| You're advocating actually it's not haram shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not kosher. | |
| It's in the Hadith. | ||
| It's not kosher. | ||
| It's in the Hadith. | ||
| As the Democratic Mayoral candidate. | ||
| It's called mutah, right? | ||
| Oh, it's halal. | ||
| Yeah, it's in the, uh, it's in the Hadith. | ||
| The Arabic dictionaries define mutah as enjoyment, pleasure, delight. | ||
| The root form signifies to carry away, to take away. | ||
| A marriage of mutah is a marriage which the contract, uh, the contract stipulates will last for a fixed period of time. | ||
| This marriage of mutah is referred to both in the hadith literature and in much more detail in the books on jurisprudence. | ||
| In the Hadith and in other sayings related to early Muslims, the word muttah itself usually employed. | ||
| The Shia hold that this particular term is the preferred name for temporary marriage because the Quran itself refers to the kind of marriage employing a term derived from... | ||
| In the following verse, the word istma is the tenth verbal form of the root mut and is translated as enjoy. | ||
| So in the hadith, allegedly, it condones this kind of behavior. | ||
| It calls it a temporary marriage. | ||
| And so maybe that's where Zoran Mamdani is. | ||
| I knew they did sex slaves in Islam, but I didn't know it was halal to do prostitution allegedly. | ||
| I don't want to have to read into the Quran more than we already have. | ||
| So maybe we can. | ||
| Well, again, that's the hadith, not the Quran. | ||
| I mean, I don't know the difference, frankly. | ||
| Also, like another side problem with prostitution is it directly leads to human trafficking. | ||
| Because what you're doing is you're putting a price tag on consent. | ||
| And once you've done that, then trafficking is the next logical step. | ||
| And so, I mean, if you're against trafficking, then you should probably be against prostitution, because it's not good to be putting a price tag on consent, because consent doesn't have a priceice tag. | ||
| It's a mechanism, not an item for sale. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| So let's see. | ||
| I think we covered this about as much as we're going to cover it. | ||
| What did Search Up pull up? | ||
| What did Search Up? | ||
| Search Up was a drama stuff that we'll talk about in the after show. | ||
| Talking to Ashley St. Clair. | ||
| So, but we're going to jump to this one here from CBS News. | ||
| Yosemite Park Ranger who hung trans pride flag from El Capitan says they were fired. | ||
| Three months after a group of climbers hung a transgender pride flag from El Capitan, an iconic rock formation. | ||
| in Yosemite, the National Park Service fired a park ranger who was involved in the display, the former employee said. | ||
| Shannon SJ Jocelyn was terminated last week after working for nearly five years as a ranger and wildlife biologist at the Northern California National Park. | ||
| Jocelyn wrote in a social media post Monday that has since garnered widespread attention online. | ||
| In May, I hung a trans flag on El Capitan that celebrated my acceptance of my identity. | ||
| Jocelyn captioned the post. | ||
| I hung the flag in my free time, off duty as a private citizen. | ||
| It flew for a total of two hours in the morning, then I took it down. | ||
| Their ranger position is a dream job. | ||
| They were fired by a park official for failing to demonstrate acceptable conduct in their role as a Yosemite wildlife biologist, according to the social media post, which accuses the National Park Service of violating their constitutional rights to free expression. | ||
| Preservation has been my life's work of Yosemite, the wildlife, the land, recreation, of people's rights and safety, of community and acceptance, and now the constitutional First Amendment, Jocelyn wrote, adding, I want my rights and I want my career back. | ||
| Do you guys think that had this been a gigantic cross with Jesus on it, that this would have the same reaction or do you think that people on the left would take issue with itue with that. | ||
| They would take a huge issue with the cross. | ||
| Are you joking? | ||
| I mean, we this country's father and Judeo Christian values, so to speak, but we've changed quite a bit over the, over the centuries. | ||
| And it's weird to me. | ||
| Look, we can go to classrooms now. | ||
| They hang the Pride flag. | ||
| They don't even put Why does Pride get a month? | ||
| I gotta just ask that question. | ||
| Why we give we have Mother's Day one day, Father's Day. | ||
| We give our vets one day, but Pride gets a month? | ||
| Not a month. | ||
| The LGBT have a day fine. | ||
| But the LGBTQ lobby doesn't just get the month. | ||
| They get over a hundred days throughout the year because there's Pride month and then there's all sorts of national. | ||
| this, that or the other thing day that fall throughout the rest of the year. | ||
| So it's not just it goes on and on and on. | ||
| It's like, is it enough already? | ||
| Fine, get a day. | ||
| Fine, have them, let them have a day. | ||
| But this is just, I don't know, it's just, it's just weird to me. | ||
| And then they took the rainbow. | ||
| Sorry, but that's biblical. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But anything that degraded it is intentional. | |
| Intentional. | ||
| Of course it is. | ||
| Yes, of course it is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I mean, personally, I'd have a Pride parade. | ||
| I mean, hello. | ||
| That's usually just a parade of people being. | ||
| Celebration of sex, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's just degeneracy. | ||
| Because you never see, or very rarely, is it not loaded with de half with either half or fully naked adults. | ||
| And oh, they perform sexual acts. | ||
| I've seen the photos and videos people have sent. | ||
| I'm going, you gotta be kidding me. | ||
| And then look, there's something that is wrong with making sex your identity, right? | ||
| Like the whole, your whole, when it comes to people in the LGBTQ lobby or whatever, their entire identity, their entire personality is wrapped around who they do, who they want to have sex with. | ||
| And that's the, the, the, the entire person. | ||
| It becomes all consuming. | ||
| There's this impulse on the left to center people. | ||
| on the margins and the LGBTQ ideologies are always on the margins. | ||
| And so they want to be centered. | ||
| They want to be focused on. | ||
| And this is something I've said a lot, but we need to reject the idea of centering the margins. | ||
| You don't want to center the margins. | ||
| You want to focus on the normal people. | ||
| And yes, I'm going to use the phrase normal. | ||
| You want to focus on the normal people that have normal marriages, man and wife, and that have want to have a normal family, because that's what will carry on the society that you live in. | ||
| If you have people that are that have alternative lifestyles, you can have a society that makes room for them. | ||
| But the idea that they should be celebrated is actually a terrible idea because it takes the focus off of the normal family, which again is what will continue your society. | ||
| If you care about just if you're making an economic argument, if you care about a tax base, then you need to have your, your next generation be as big or bigger than the one that you're in. | ||
| And we have, we are, we have fallen so far behind. | ||
| That's, yeah, we're in the negative growth. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's, it's looking like, I think Tim was, Tim was saying the other day that, yeah. | ||
| It's something like Gen Alpha has to have four kids to have enough children to carry on society. | ||
| Has that wife been out recently? | ||
| I will take, I wouldn't even venture to guess personally. | ||
| But I mean, you know, it used to be you have to have 2.1. | ||
| That's what the boomers needed. | ||
| And they fell short. | ||
| The millennials have fallen short. | ||
| And because they're falling short and because, like you said, it's happening all around the world. | ||
| It is. | ||
| But, like you said earlier, Muslims aren't. | ||
| They have five wives and five kids with each of them. | ||
| So they're growing astronomically. | ||
| Because, like you said earlier, the abortion issue is a real issue because that's 25 million people that never existed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| And so these things compound and we're going to have a massive problem Because it's not just going to be, oh, there aren't people around. | ||
| It means that there won't be people that can do the things that our society needs done to keep our society going. | ||
| There won't be the girls. | ||
| There will be 25% less women that Tate could have dated. | ||
| So now his potential girlfriend of Gen Z doesn't exist. | ||
| He has 25% less friends. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| Less dating potential on the dating market. | ||
| Just like with stuff like this, I think you should just be inherently skeptical of anything that's promoting something that kills your bloodline. | ||
| Abortion, like homosexual parades or whatever. | ||
| It's like, look, tolerance is one thing, but like celebration of something that's actually kind of tragic. | ||
| I just don't see this as beneficial for Americans in any way because we already have such a culture of nihilism, especially with Zoomers, that by just reemphasizing and recentering human behavior that kills your bloodline, that extinguishes your family lineage, I mean, that's not, I mean, that's a very sad thing. | ||
| And I mean, especially we see with abortion. | ||
| I mean, it's just nonstop promotion of it. | ||
| And it's like, how is this beneficial to recent something so antihuman, anti birth and anti, or antinatal, I guess is the word to use? | ||
| I think the best, humanity's best chance of overcoming this birth rate deficit, well, it actually depends on where you look at because they don't have birth deficits in India or Nigeria. | ||
| They do in India now. | ||
| Now they do really in India? | ||
| It's getting to the point where the third world is now cratering in birth rates. | ||
| If we want I think if we want to reverse this issue, particularly in the West, the key to doing so is going back to religiosity. | ||
| If you're looking for the groups of people in our country right now that are still reproducing at over replacement rates, it's our people who are religious. | ||
| It's random Amish communities throughout the country. | ||
| It's Orthodox Jewish communities. | ||
| These communities have like six, seven, eight, nine kids. | ||
| And religiosity trends towards having more children. | ||
| As we get more secular, we have less. | ||
| So I think that's the major trend. | ||
| Doesn't that require belief? | ||
| It does. | ||
| Because part of the reason why society, you know, modern secular society doesn't have the same type of faith is because science has actually answered a lot of things that were not answered before. | ||
| And if you couldn't answer the questions, people would say, well, you know, maybe it's God or we don't understand. | ||
| Not to say that there is no room for God in a, you know, in a secular or in a modern society, but that is going to. | ||
| inevitably make people say, well, maybe if we can actually figure these things out, maybe God isn't real. | ||
| You know, we can, we, nobody thinks, oh, lightning is God anymore. | ||
| Nobody thinks that, that the, the sun coming up and going down is because God wills it. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| The point that I'm making is with a modern society like we have, a lot of those questions are answered. | ||
| And so I do think that, that the lack of religion leaves a God, basically a God-shaped hole in people's, in people's lives. | ||
| But I also think that people are, are reluctant to, to feel God. | ||
| to fill it with religion because they feel like, well, that's old. | ||
| The questions have been answered. | ||
| Science has answered that. | ||
| And so I think that's a significant reason as to why. | ||
| And I'd be interested in what you guys think of that. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I did a documentary that's coming out. | ||
| It's called Against the World. | ||
| And I did it with John Lennox. | ||
| John Lennox is a very famous. | ||
| John Lennox is amazing. | ||
| He's an apologist, retired math professor from Oxford University. | ||
| We shot three weeks in Oxford, two weeks in Israel. | ||
| And it's called Against the World. | ||
| It's about proving proving God in a world of science and I call it apologetics for dummies like me because he guys just he's amazing and he's brilliant and I think anybody everybody should watch this you don't have to be a person of faith to watch this just to listen to what he has to say and you you'll see clips of him debating Singer and Dawkins and Hitchens really world-famous apologetic atheist and He kills them with kindness is what he kills them with more than anything else. | ||
| And it's just pretty fantastic. | ||
| I want people to check it out. | ||
| It's coming out later this year and it's called Against the World. | ||
| And it's, you know, I look at the stars at night and I go, well, somebebody made this and it wasn't me, you know? | ||
| And that's where I believe there's a God, there's an intelligent design behind this because I could look at this desk right here and they go, where do you think this came from? | ||
| Somebody made it. | ||
| And I go, well, exactly. | ||
| I don't have all the answers either, but if I look at the infinity that it just goes forever and there's billions of galaxies out there or something, it's pretty mind-boggling to think that it just happened. | ||
| I don't have all the answers, but to me, I believe there was, there's a higher power that created all of this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I totally agree. | ||
| John Lennox is brilliant. | ||
| Richard Dawkins' debate, that's like the philosophical beat down. | ||
| John Lennox is the goat. | ||
| I do think to a certain degree it is kind of sad that the only, if the only way to increase the birth rate would be like like a return to like ludditism, like the Amish. | ||
| I do hope that we're able to create an environment where technology can still progress while simultaneously keeping the birth rate above the water. | ||
| I had Nate Fisher. | ||
| He was a guest on my, I covered for the morning show about a week and a half ago, and we had Nate Fisher on, who is a pro AI. | ||
| A lot would hate him. | ||
| He's super pro AI. | ||
| And he actually proposed this interesting, he had an interesting proposal for the future, which is clearly the one common denominator with countries that are experiencing birth rate deficiencies is women's workplace participation. | ||
| Is when women are in the workplace, they're working the same hours as men. | ||
| They just simply don't have time for childbirth. | ||
| And if you're in a developed country, uh, having a child is an economic negative. | ||
| It's just a bad decision to make if you're trying to make money. | ||
| That's just the way it is. | ||
| I hate that as a, as a Christian, but it is what it is. | ||
| And his proposal was that as AI evolves, it can knock out a lot of these laptop jobs, these fake email jobs. | ||
| And typically these jobs are manned by women because they're less physically intensive. | ||
| And so when AI comes in and replaces these jobs, along with, you know, preventing the need for extra migrant labor, is that could actually return us back to a more, um, pre-postmodern, um, civilizational structure where women are able to stay at home and the man is able to make enough money to support the family on a single income because these companies will have more, sorry, they won't require as much labor to perform the same. | ||
| Do you think that it's economically based, honestly? | ||
| Is that the I suspect, I mean, I do think religiosity is to a certain extent. | ||
| I mean, because for example, Israel is a developed country where women are in the workforce and they do have a net positive birth rate, but that's kind of a situation. | ||
| Isn't that because of the orthodox that are super Even among conservative Jews, like they still have a positive birth rate and I suspect that's because they have a mission as a society. | ||
| And again, I don't think it's sustainable. | ||
| I don't think every country can have a mission as a society. | ||
| Like, regardless, the United States and Canada and the UK are not going to have existential threats all the time. | ||
| And so wouldn't that, wouldn't that need a, wouldn't it need the same kind of like we need to keep our people, like an ethnonationalism to keep to inspire people to say, I need to make sure that because that's one of the things that the Israelis have, right? | ||
| To some extent, but you have ethnostates around the world, effective ethnostates, and they're the worst off, like Japan, South Korea, China. | ||
| I mean, China is an explicitly Han state that is the purpose is to expel and sponge the entire land of other ethnic minorities and create this Han ethnostat. | ||
| And they can't keep their birth rate above water. | ||
| So it's like, I don't think that's enough. | ||
| And if anything, it actually makes it worse with the track record that we see in East Asia. | ||
| Well, they're in trouble in China because they've had over 450 forced abortions. | ||
| Most of them are female. | ||
| Their population is 55% male, which a lot of people don't realize. | ||
| Which, like, historically that means civil war or some kind of, some kind of adventure is. | ||
| China's adventure is a little overrated as far as like a looming superpower. | ||
| They actually have far more systemic issues than the United States has. | ||
| But yeah, so I mean, like, yeah., I do agree, like religiosity. | ||
| I mean, again, as a Christian, I've been incentived for that to be the case. | ||
| And it certainly helps. | ||
| Like evangelicals have the exact same economic pressures as the rest of the country, but evangelicals do have a higher birth rate. | ||
| Granted, it's still below replacement. | ||
| I think it's about 1.8, 1.9, but that's far higher than the American average, which is like 1.5, 1.6. | ||
| And even white evangelicals is still that number. | ||
| And white people in the country, it's like 1.4. | ||
| So, but religiosity doesn't fix it all. | ||
| Like, you do need to restructure how families are able to form and what your civilization prioritizes in a family unit. | ||
| Do you think that there would ever come a point where the government would outlaw things like birth control and outlaw abortion so that way the population can actually reproduce. | ||
| Because it's my, I think that the pill and abortion are the two biggest things as to why there are, why we don't have a replacement rate. | ||
| Because it used to be where, you know, if a girl got pregnant, the guy would marry her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And that was just what happened. | ||
| You got a girl pregnant. | ||
| Well, that's your wife. | ||
| Now you go to the shotgun wedding and everything. | ||
| And that's something that was kind of like that was the way that it was throughout a lot of history. | ||
| And when that stopped being the case, you know, when you no longer had the shotgun wedding, when you had abortion as, you know, available for anyone and you have the birth control pill to prevent pregnancy, that's when you saw the real beginning of the decline in the replacement rate. | ||
| Well, I think through education, through public education, through universities, through movies that Hollywood does, television, I think that we, that people get married much later now. | ||
| I think people stay pretty much children still through their twenties now. | ||
| They don't, they're not ready to grow up. | ||
| And so you're looking at the average age of getting married is much higher than it was just, you know, two generations ago. | ||
| It's changed drastically. | ||
| And they don't want to have, they want to just maybe have a kid and have it much later when they're in their thirties or even in their forties if they are able to. | ||
| But I mean, it's changed. | ||
| And I think just that mentality towards marriage and having kids has been sort of, there's been an indoctrination through, I think, the mainstream media and through Hollywood and what Hollywood does. | ||
| Well, and it also came with the territory of modernization and with eliminating infant mortality is where in the last 60 years, this is the first time in human history where people have kids because they want kids versus having kids because they need kids. | ||
| Because prior to, let's just say, the world wars., people needed kids because they needed food. | ||
| So we were agriculturally based, it's true. | ||
| I mean, I look at both my grandparents, I came over here, both sets came over from Norway and they had my grandparents were part, they had like they were part of ten or eleven kids in each family. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They had to work the farms. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It was all about working the farms. | ||
| And even then, like, and then beyond that, even people that were urban, highly urbanized people, because they did exist before the world wars, is they even felt they needed kids for that religious reason and also like to pass on family heroes, pass on wealth, guarantee that wealth stayed within like a controlled environment. | ||
| So now people just have kids., it's like, oh, I'd like to have a kid. | ||
| Like the same reason people have, I hate to equivale it, but it's the same reason people have a dog. | ||
| It's like, oh, it'd be nice to have a dog around. | ||
| That's what people do. | ||
| It's like, oh, it'd be nice to have a kid around. | ||
| People don't really have this, like, I think they do, but they're just ignoring it. | ||
| I do think a lot of people actually have this deep desire to extend their bloodline, to have a kid. | ||
| But I think a lot of people are able to back fill that with dogs or consumer products. | ||
| I think women do, particularly when they get close to thirty. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| That was Jordan Peterson actually. | ||
| He said, when he was practicing clinical psychologist, he said the toughest case. | ||
| I mean, he had people like veterans coming in that had seen their brothers die, you know, children that had been beaten, like the worst things you could possibly imagine. | ||
| He said the most difficult cases he had to handle were postmenopause women that never had children. | ||
| Oh. | ||

| Dude, earlier I saw you sitting in that seat without the hat and I thought you were Tim without the beanie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, well, I mean, I swear to God, I thought it was the same bald head. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Tim and I look different. | ||
| All you bald people look alike. | ||
| You're all just a bunch of thumbs, that's it. | ||
| All these in black shirts. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| KS Corey says it would be nice, it would be nice to see all the stuff about our history that the Smithsonian has been hiding for a hundred years like giants. | ||
| Real Nephilim release the Nephilim files. | ||
| Enough about Epstein, release the Nephilim files. | ||
| We know that we found some in Afghanistan. | ||
| You know, we heard we brought them over in our big helicopter. | ||
| Like, let's see them. | ||
| I know they're out there. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| And we could put them in the NBA possibly. | ||
| I'm not buying it. | ||
| Memphis Grizzlies need another center and Zachary is not enough. | ||
| We need more. | ||
| So maybe we need a Nephilim. | ||
| I don't know, I'm just spitting on here. | ||
| AK Storm 49 says, Tate, sir. | ||
| You were trashing Alaska while talking about the Putin-Trump meeting. | ||
| Ask Tim how gorgeous Anchorage was while he was there. | ||
| Plus, they meet at JBER, which is gorgeous and busy. | ||
| I just look, Anchorage is Alaska's beautiful, they should have met in Juneau. | ||
| Have you been to Alaska? | ||
| Yeah, I have. | ||
| I've been to the I've been to Alaska and I think Juneau is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. | ||
| That's why I just felt like putting him on an air force base in Anchorage. | ||
| I think Alaska has more to offer. | ||
| That's what I was trying to get at. | ||
| And you also have to understand, like, I'm so terrified on the morning show sometimes that I don't express enough thoughts that I don't flesh out my thoughts enough sometimes. | ||
| And this was definitely one case. | ||
| I love Alaska. | ||
| I feel very sad that people think I hate Alaska. | ||
| I'm so sorry. | ||
| No, I love Alaska. | ||
| You defined it. | ||
| You didn't get it. | ||
| Don't tell me. | ||
| Walking it back, huh? | ||
| I'm walking it back. | ||
| I'm walking it back. | ||
| A couple of years ago, I got to be the celebrity starter for the Iditarod. | ||
| Oh, nice. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| They got what? | ||
| The Iditarod. | ||
| It's a 1,000 mile sled sled race they have through Alaska every week. | ||
| I've been doing it for a hundred years or something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So they hooked up my own sled to another guy's sled and his pack of twelve dogs. | ||
| So I said for the first twelve miles, it was me. | ||
| And he said, whatever I do with my body, you do the same thing. | ||
| I worked my butt all the way down this side. | ||
| You better go, because you'll flip over and you're slack. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| It was so cool. | ||
| That's a beautiful thing. | ||
| It's a beautiful thing. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Black Nexus says, I loved Hercules and even more so Andromeda. | ||
| Thanks for being an inspiration on and off the screen, mister Sorbo. | ||
| Oh, very kind. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| I got more to come. | ||
| sorbostudios.com. | ||
| Go there. | ||
| I got four movies coming out this year and three documentaries. | ||
| One is that one. | ||
| One is on the Last Supper. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| It's called Eating with the Enemy. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Pretty interesting. | ||
| And she's pretty. | ||
| Brent Miller's company, Ingenuity Films, a very, very good company. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Burt Crash says, I hope Tim's voice returns. | ||
| It just turns into the gravely Alex Jones time when he comes back and starts railing about Alad being his handler and that he can't handle it anymore. | ||
| InshaAllah. | ||
| I don't know if he's going to have that kind of gravely Alex Jones thing or not, but I talked to him a little bit today and he's still, it's still pretty beaten up. | ||
| It's kind of rough, so I'm not sure. | ||
| I thought he was going to be back today. | ||
| I thought so too. | ||
| Many of us thought he was going to be back, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's not back tomorrow either. | ||
| We did the pre show. | ||
| At least we got a little bit of it in our heads. | ||
| Which is good. | ||
| And yeah, if I, if I'm on the morning show tomorrow, it will be a 30-minute apology to the state of Alaska directed. | ||
| Directed title to Sarah Palo most of all. | ||
| Never, never say your son. | ||
| There'll be a nice dog sledding compilation. | ||
| Never, never apologize. | ||
| They'll look at it like I'll use, I'll use mister Sorbo's videos and it'll be a beautiful thing. | ||
| Happy Garand says, 29 years old and I just bought my first house, ordered some Cass Brew to celebrate. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| Oh, let's, let's, let's hear that. | ||
| That's great to hear that there are some, some people in their twenties that can afford a home. | ||
| Defining the odds. | ||
| Yeah, you know, great word, King. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Keep it. | |
| Good job. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Waffle Sensei says, Kevin, how was it working with Mercer in the Mythica series? | ||
| And do you think Hollywood could succeed doing that for classic style of filmmaking? | ||
| Yeah, if they had the budget for that. | ||
| We did. | ||
| It was five movies, kind of a part of the poor man's sort of what am I thinking of? | ||
| Poor man's version of Lord of the Rings. | ||
| But it was cool. | ||
| It was shot in the mountains in Provo, Utah, and it was pretty cool. | ||
| I played sort of the Gandalf type character in it, but it was good. | ||
| I think that idea would be great if you get a bigger budget with it. | ||
| They did a great job. | ||
| They did a great job putting them together. | ||
| And it was you can get the five part, it's five movies you can get on one DVD section. | ||
| It's pretty cool. | ||
| DVDs are dying, but it's out there. | ||
| It's out there. | ||
| It's still a big market. | ||
| I still have them. | ||
| I still have them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Tyrant God says, happy to see Hercules back on the show. | ||
| Grew up watching the legendary journey. | ||
| And as a kid, it showed me a good man stands up for what is right. | ||
| PS, my username is inspired by Hercules and God of War. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| I did the voice of God of War 3. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| I did. | ||
| There's a thing called Gen Con Indianapolis. | ||
| I still do about five or six Comic Cons a year because of Hercules and Andromeda. | ||
| I was in Prague last year at one of them. | ||
| It's pretty cool. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| And so Gen Con's in Indianapolis, I must have signed 500 of these God of War 3s. | ||
| And every guy came up and said, dude, your awesomeness. | ||
| I'm sorry I had to kill you, but it was really cool. | ||
| It is cool. | ||
| My band was in a video game called Guitar Hero 2, and kids would come up with the controller, this guitar stuff, and you'd have sign it. | ||
| So it's super flattering when people bring that kind of stuff up, and they're just like, you know, so that's awesome to hear. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Mythos 671 says, in Afghanistan, we had them dip their thumb in long-lasting ink when they voted, so they couldn't vote twice. | ||
| They did the same thing in Iraq, right? | ||
| They had the green. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| So I imagine that the idea of making sure that we can prove that someone already voted, that's something the Democrats would just fight against. | ||
| So I'm not sure how well that's working for them in Iraq and Afghanistan as far as their democracy goes. | ||
| It works well in Mozambique. | ||
| I had a friend who was in Mozambique, they had a big civil war recently over an election gone wrong. | ||
| And I had a friend, he was from England and he was in Mozambique at the time. | ||
| And the day of the election, a police officer asked if he wanted to vote for five dollars. | ||
| And he was about to until they made him put it. | ||
| They wanted him to put his finger in ink. | ||
| And he knew he'd not be able to get out of the country if he did that because it would have stained for months at a time. | ||
| So Mosinbeek, it's working pretty well. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Besides the Civil War, obviously. | ||
| I don't think it's correlated, but. | ||
| I identify as tax exempt, says Republicans are red, Democrats are blue. | ||
| No matter what you choose, you get Dick Cheney. | ||
| Based? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I almost said based, too. | |
| You're a winner either way. | ||
| Well, that's the libertarian being upset about that, just so you know. | ||
| you know the sadder they are the happier i am all right let's see what we got here fuck it button says i get the blameaming California mentality and it's not wrong, but by far the biggest problem is insane, rabid, native born Texasan leftists. | ||
| They are far more than I ever expected. | ||
| California never lib even once now Texas. | ||
| Well, Bernie Sanders is from a majority white state as I understand it. | ||
| Well, I mean, that is true Texas. | ||
| Tony Ortiz came on and this is a stat that actually a lot of Texas politics experts, experts love citing is that with the Ted Cruz Beto O'Rourke Senate race, for example, is native born Texas actually voted blue 5545 and transplants voted 55, 45 for Ted Cruz. | ||
| So the numbers suggest that it's actually the transplants coming from presumably blue states that are keeping the state red and the native born Texans are the ones that are voting blue. | ||
| And this does make sense because it's like, yeah, if you did come from California, you would probably not be keen on voting Democrat. | ||
| Obviously, this doesn't always happen like in Nevada and Arizona, but at least in Texas, it seems to be the case by the, by the data, it's actually the native born Texans. | ||
| You have to consider the massive demographic shifts that occurred in Texas throughout the eighties and nineties and two thousand. | ||
| It is not the same. | ||
| It's not the same demographic that you had in the eighties that was, you know, that you're. | ||
| cowboys and that sort of thing. | ||
| I think there's also something to the overinclusivity of what it means to be white. | ||
| Whites in Vermont are different from whites in West Virginia, are different from whites in Pennsylvania, are different from whites in Illinois. | ||
| They they came from different backgrounds, have different values, are different versions of Christians. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, the downstream effects of that, you know, it is overinclusive to just say, Oh, white people and they all think the same and they're all Americans in the same way. | ||
| I do think they're broadly homogenizing. | ||
| I think like white voters are now more impacted by their environment. | ||
| Like I think white voters in New England, the reason they are so democratic is because they're not typically exposeded to the result of their policies like people in larger states like Ohio, Ellinois, for example, like diversity, like when you import a bunch of immigrants, people in states with high powered economies are going to feel that a lot heavier than like if you're in Vermont where it's 98 percent. | ||
| I think it's like it's downstream effects of where they immigrated to, as I believe North in the New England area was mostly from England. | ||
| In like Pennsylvania, as I understand, there were a lot of Germans who came over. | ||
| And like these are different pockets of different whites and in any other context would be considered, you know, completely different and different religions and have blood feuds going back thousands of years. | ||
| But now since we're in America and the skin just kind of looks the same. | ||
| It's we're over inclusive with them. | ||
| I think that's definitely a situation. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, there's definitely something to be said with, like, New England WASPs being very liberal now. | ||
| But I, like, I said earlier, the reason I say it's homogenizing is because, A, like, the influx of white Americans that came, you know, with the Ellis Island wave sort of just flooded the entire country and it, and it did have a homogenizing effect. | ||
| All the local cultures from, like, there's a great book, Albion Seed that discusses, like, the different migration patterns of people from England. | ||
| Like, that's, that's a whole different thing. | ||
| But, like, New England, for example, the majority of whites in New England now are Irish and Italian, from New Hampshire to Massachusetts to Connecticut. | ||
| So it's like, okay, yes, the WASASPs did shape the culture there, and the culture to this day does reflect that kind of early WASP heritage, but the vast majority of whites there don't trace the majority of their lineage to that, and that's broadly the case across the country now. | ||
| I mean, you still the South, okay, yes, the Scots, Irish influence is still there, but whites are becoming more of a monolith, and they're moving around a lot too. | ||
| Like, I mean, maybe a hundred years ago that would be one hundred percent the case, but yeah, those sort of migration patterns are starting to become less relevant as the country becomes more jumbled. | ||
| And like I said, the Ellis Island waves of migration as well. | ||
| Michael Thompson says, something you didn't know about the trucking story from yesterday. | ||
| The company he was driving for had been shut down and had merely changed numbers and physical addresses before restarting. | ||
| No change. | ||
| So this I think is why you need to expropriate their property if they're hiring illegals, take their stuff and sell their stuff to other people and throw them in jail for hiring illegal aliens. | ||
| Did you see the trucking story? | ||
| I did not. | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
| It was in Florida. | ||
| There was a legal immigrant trucker from India. | ||
| Oh, no, I saw that. | ||
| Yeah, and he just U turned it. | ||
| He tried to take a U turn in the middle of a freeway. | ||
| Killed three Americans. | ||
| Yeah, killed three people. | ||
| No, I saw that and his reaction was like, when something hit me, just turn around. | ||
| No, I did see that. | ||
| Yeah, horrible. | ||
| It was a California issued CDO, go figure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's terrible. | ||
| It's terrible and, and, you know, we need to do something to make it difficult or illegal to live here. | ||
| And I think that one of the things that Democrats say, say all the time is, oh, you know, why don't you ever go after the people that hire them? | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| I think we should. | ||
| I think we should take their shit. | ||
| I think we should throw them in jail, take their business, take their property. | ||
| their problems because they know what they're doing they know they're hiring look people i the majority people coming across the last four years or every year they want to be in america and i get it and they're good people the majority they're still breaking the law yeah you're still breaking the law come across legally yeah My grandparents did, you know, just come and do the legal thing. | ||
| I mean, it's weird to me. | ||
| It's, it's, and people are all upset about, you know, what we're taking. | ||
| I was in, who was the female governor Jan, Arizona years ago? | ||
| What was her name? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| If you go back 10, 12, 15 years or whatever, she was the one that first had a big issue was going on with all these illegals coming across. | ||
| And she said, I'm going to endorse, I'm going to enforce the Jan Brewer. | ||
| Jan Brewer, thank you. | ||
| I'm going to enforce the laws of the land. | ||
| And there was a woman that had 180 and I was a fan. | ||
| I said, yeah, we should, we should, she goes, we should have open borders. | ||
| I said, no, we shouldn't. | ||
| And so she just got in my face. | ||
| And I said, okay, you go home tonight and there's a family of seven in your living room. | ||
| I'd let them stay, she said, which is such a liberal thing to say. | ||
| Because they have so much more. | ||
| Oh, they care so much more. | ||
| I go, you get rid of your family after three days of Christmas. | ||
| Give me a break. | ||
| You're going to let this family of seven people you don't know in your house stay with you. | ||
| I mean, they try to be so, oh, you're so much more better and noble than you are, but it's all just such an act. | ||
| It's like the permissiveness of it. | ||
| Like I looked up into this guy's case or like the truck driver we're talking about, and like he had he had not understood like I think most of the signage is like he didn't understand half of like the questions and they still gave him the license they still permitted and said oh you can just have this like the people that are hiring like Phil has said are those the people that we need to be like actually grilling and punishing because that's who's providing this whole ecosystem for all these people you know? | ||
| Can I go out on the limb here and say something about the truckers too? | ||
| Do we is it just me or do we put them on a bit of a pedestal? | ||
| Yeah, because I don't No, no, I don't know because I drive a lot and I spend a lot of time on the road and I spent a lot of time on tour dealing with truckers and dealing with truckers at truck stops. | ||
| I do not put them on a pedestal. | ||
| I don't put those men on a pedestal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I feel like the truck drivers are doing important work. | |
| Everybody does all work, you know, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Something we should admire and think people are doing hard at, but like, how do you how do you how do you think freight in this country travels mostly by train by rail or by truck? | ||
| Mostly by truck. | ||
| I would say truck. | ||
| I would say truck. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I understand. | |
| Yeah, truck. | ||
| But that, you know, all jobs have value, but that doesn't mean I have to love truck drivers who drive like I'm not saying you have to love this. | ||
| Their offs on the highway, which is not where So we're not the best drivers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, okay. | |
| I feel like we always say like, oh, they're the lifeline of the nation and you know, they provide a great service. | ||
| And they always, what do you have a truck? | ||
| They always pull in front of me when I'm cruising. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they go seven 71 to pass the truck going 70. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It takes awesome to get to the right. | |
| Every night when I do my outro or when I get done, the last thing I say is the left lane is for crime. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because you should not be in the left lane doing 65 or less. | ||
| You should be. | ||
| You should be doing more than that. | ||
| Anyway, imagine the pissed off truck driver at Tim Caspiere watching. | ||

Look, there's a lot of trash in there. | |
| Everyone can just swallow his mommy. | ||
| I'm critical of truck drivers on X frequently. | ||
| And I take a lot of heat about it. | ||
| Because I'll be like, you know, I. I'll be like, you know, I can't, so when I first heard about this particular, this particular story, I was like, I can't wait until AI trucks are the majority of trucks on the road. | ||
| And boy, did people hate it. | ||
| Some dude got all up and he's like, I can't wait until AI takes your job. | ||
| I'm like, bro, I'm a musician. | ||
| It's already like, twenty friggin' years ago, my industry was destroyed. | ||
| So don't tell me about, oh, look, you're going to destroy my industry. | ||
| Deal with it. | ||
| That's what happens. | ||
| Truck drivers, don't worry. | ||
| I got your backs. | ||
| These AI clankers are not coming for your jobs. | ||
| I will not let it happen. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||

| Come follow me there and hang out. | ||
| Thanks for tuning in, everybody. | ||

| You can follow me at Aladalyahua and Twitter and Instagram to check out more of my coverage there. | ||

| There you go. | ||
| Do you do you like cheer on the ICE agents? | ||
| No, but it is some of the most thrilling. | ||
| I've covered riots, protests, the president. | ||
| There's nothing more thrilling than these ICE agents grabbing people, the looks on their faces. | ||
| It's like a movie, Kevin. | ||
| It's almost like people are so expressive and emotional. | ||
| It's so dramatic. | ||
| It's so real. | ||
| Bro, are you going to ask the questions I asked you on Twitter today? |
