While I'd been out, I had heard over and over again from liberals that Trump had died.
It was trending and they said, where is he?
They were posting pictures of him claiming he was sick and he's completely fine.
Everything looks normal and I'm going to give you guys the truth.
It was Labor Day weekend.
That's it.
Trump was probably just like, it's Labor Day, I'm gonna hang out with my family.
And then because without Trump, they have nothing to say.
They have no political ideology.
They have no goals other than Trump is bad.
The only thing they could muster up to get clicks on the internet was that Trump must be dead, otherwise where would he go?
They can't live without him.
Okay, well, that was all fake news and it was hilarious.
But the big news is that Trump has announced he was asked and he says he's going to be sending in feds or the National Guard specifically is what he was asked about into Chicago and Baltimore.
And the governor of Illinois and the mayor are losing their minds.
I, as you all know, I'm from the south side of Chicago and I say, please, Trump, thank you, get it done.
Because no young person in this country should have to grow up in a city where their friends witness corpses being dragged through alleys, where they get randomly shot at and where their friends are forced to join gangs by murdering people, but that's Chicago and we can talk about it.
Now, other than that, there's a bunch of other really big news.
Thirty three some odd thousand Epstein files have been released and we don't know exactly what's in them yet because they just got dropped, but a lot of people are saying, yeah, been there, done that.
Nothing new is in these documents.
So we're going to talk about that and more.
And yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have have returned.
For those who are wondering where I was, it's funny, all the conspiracy theories.
The most offensive ones are that I was on vacation.
That was the most offensive because as I explained to my friends, my ego is the size of this building and being unable to talk for three weeks, I was the embodiment of that meme of the kid in the school shaking with veins popping out of his skull.
No, I over the past several weeks, as I actually had explained on the show when I was getting sick, I'm like, man, I'm getting sick and I keep working and I wouldn't stop.
And so it got worse and worse until I got so sick I ended up in the ER and my throat was extremely swollen with viral pharyngitis, which after about a week abated and then my throat was torn.
was tore up and I couldn't really talk without mass, like serious discomfort.
They gave me methylpredinicillone, which I hated and didn't want to take, and they said take ibuprofen.
And I'm like, I can't do this.
I wasn't able to work.
So I worked on other things, but here we are.
I have returned.
Let's get to the news.
Before we do, my friends, we got a great sponsor.

Appalachian Knights was the top, Ian wanted a low acidity coffee.
And so there's tons of people that say they can't handle coffee is pretty acidic.
So we crafted this for Ian and it sells like hotcakes.
So go to cassbrew.com, support the show, pick it up.
Don't forget my friends to also smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know, joining us tonight to talk about this and much more, sir.
Trump to send National Guard troops to Chicago, and I say, thank you, mister President.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would deploy National Guard troops to fight crime in Chicago, an extraordinary effort to militarize the country's third largest city that was likely to trigger a legal battle with local officials.
We're going in.
I didn't say when, but we're going in, Trump told reporters at the White House.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson swiftly condemned the action.
Quote, he just wants his own secret police force that will do publicity stunts whenever his poll number numbers are sinking, whenever his job report shows a stagnating economy, whenever he needs another distraction from his failures.
Hours earlier, a federal judge blocked Trump's at Trump, the Trump admin from using military to fight crime in California, a ruling that does not apply to other states, but the judge said that Trump's declared desire to send troops to Chicago and other cities provided support for his ruling.
Now we also have this from the AP Trump says he will order federal intervention in Chicago and Baltimore despite local opposition.
Now this is what I just I just can't stand.
Okay, local opposition.
What does that really mean?
Well, I grew up in Chicago.
I grew up on the south side of Chicago.
My friends and I have witnessed gang violence.
I remember this so vividly, my friend talking to me on the phone saying, wait, hold on.
Dude, there's two people dragging a corpse through the alley right now.
The next day on the news, dead body found in a dumpster.
And we were like, wow, the hot dog shop one block away from where I grew up had bulletproof windows with bullet holes in them from being shot at.
And it's kind of crazy because you grow up like that and you're like, this is just the way things are, I guess.
And then you get older and you realize it's actually not and it doesn't need to be that way.
But the funny thing about the crime in Chicago and the gang violence and all that stuff is that they also have police corruption.
One of my favorite stories out of Chicago was a meter made.
There's another story where a meter maid gave a parking ticket to a police because he parked illegally, because he thought he could.
And the police came out of the bar where he was drinking, grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall.
There's also another story where a bunch of police beat the crap out of a bartender.
So you have a state where a bunch of the governors went to prison, where the police have been accused of operating what are called black sites, where they arrest people and detain them for days on end and torture them.
You have the famous stories out of Chicago where, what was that guy's name?
Well, so, you know, one is your point is actually really well taken, which is it was actually a native son of Illinois.
I mean, it was Lincoln himself who famously said, I'm paraphrasing here, I'm probably going to butcher it, but with public opinion, anything is possible without public opinion, you know, nothing will work.
So, I mean, this is it.
I mean, this is what I call the art of the 8020 issue for Donald Trump.
is a genius.
He is a master at putting Democrats, the left, you know, in this case, you know, Mayor Johnson who's who's such a, you know, far left loom bag that, you know, that he makes Lori Lightfoot look like a freaking moderate.
I mean, I didn't think that was even possible, but but this guy, Brendan Johnson somehow finds a way to do it, you know, whether, I mean, you know, forcing him and JB Pritzker to oppose sending in some sort of federal help.
I mean, just for context, Chicago's murder rate is twenty two murders per 100,000 people.
So New York City right now is about five.
So literally less than 25 percent to that.
Washington, DC is actually not a whole lot h lot higher than New York City, believe it or not.
So Chicago is the bloodiest American city, bar none.
I lived there for a few years, Tim.
I went to law school there.
I know you, I know you're a native of some Chicago.
It's gotten a hell of a lot worse, actually, just since I graduated.
I graduated law school there in 2016, so that's nine years ago now.
I've been back a handful of times since then.
My now wife, when we were dating, she was then my girlfriend, I took her to Chicago for the very first time.
She had her purse stolen in broad daylight in Streeterville.
So, you know, it's the wealthier areas where people show up and do the muggings.
And because in these, like, up at-neighborhoods, these wealthy liberals either are gonna pull the, oh, you poor person, you just don't know better.
Or they're gonna be like, I'm so scared.
You don't want to go to a white working class area in Chicago, like, you know, on the South Side near, like, Sox Park or whatever, and mess around with those Irish dudes.
Let me tell you, man, during the no NATO protests in 2012, all these leftists were marching through Chicago and South Side Irish, when they started marching through the neighborhood of these white working class people.
They beat the crap out of the antifa guys and the leftists were like they were really confused as to why white working class Chicagoans in the South Side were beating the crap out of them, but they were.
So that's why they typically stay out of these neighborhoods.
But look, gangbangers don't rob other gangbangers in their own neighborhoods.
Well, I think like Trump, Trump's tapping into something that a lot of Americans feel, which is they're really frustrated of being pushed out to the suburbs and not having access to like 80 percent of their city.
Like I grew up in Memphis.
I grew up in like a leafy suburb.
So it's fine super depressing because you look around the rest of the developed world or you look at places like Tokyo and you can live wherever you want.
If you're a young person, you have access to cheap housing where, like I said, the United States, yeah, more than, more than, at least more than half of your city is going to be completely unbeatable.
I'm curious how much of what Trump is doing actually has to do with population decline.
So if you think about what happened to Detroit when this is, this is not necessarily population decline.
Detroit lost residents because industry had left.
But then you see poverty, crime, and other problems.
Another problem starts to emerge.
I'm wondering how much of what Trump is doing with sending the National Guard is to try and create a base, a state, like a foundation of stability, because in the next ten years, it is going to get increasingly worse with population decline and infrastructure collapse due to a lack of a labor market, human capital.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
So the large, one of the largest consumer bases, the boomers are dying.
They're now at the mortality cliff.
Gen Alpha's tiny and Gen Z can't work.
You saw that you saw that report that said Gen Z brings their parents with them to job interviews.
So if the expectation is that cities are going to get worse than they are now, I'm wondering if Trump and his admin are looking at this.
I mean, I'd have to say that with someone like Steven Miller, that guy's smart and he knows with the immigration stuff we're doing, he's looking at demographic numbers.
I guarantee you that Trump admin knows full well.
You can't simultaneously have low fertility and no immigration.
I mean, the the fact that that there is going to be such a problem with, like we said, human capital, like that's a really big issue.
And, and if people don't have a positive outlook on not only their communities, but also law enforcement in general, you're going to have significantly fewer police officers.
I mean, I it's likely not, I don't know if it's likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if big cities in the future kind of become those dystopias from sci-fi movies from the eighties where you need to have to have a really militarized police force actually patrolling the streets and just to keep the population safe or keep them kind of subdued.
Most of us don't track what happened 80 years before the American Revolution because it's pre-American history.
It's sort of, it's like colonial history, but there actually was a great crisis and it actually bifurcatedates into the UK as well because we had a shared culture and society.
So the prediction is something is going to happen here.
I'm looking at everything that's going on right now.
We've got actual fertility right now.
Some have estimated, and maybe this is conspiratorial lunacy, 0.3.
When you hear that fertility is at 1.6 or whatever, they're including older people who stopped having kids but had kids.
So they're asking people, how many kids have you had?
How many, you know?
And the fertility rate includes people who are now exiting childbearing years.
Well, the interesting thing with the Gen Z millennials not having kids is there it's actually really important when you're looking at TFRs.
There was a Stephen Shaw, he's like a demographic expert and he broke down, there's actually a difference between total maternity rate and children per mother.
So children per mother tracks obviously the average amount of children that a mother has, a mother meaning someone's had a kid before and then the total maternity, total maternal rate and the TMRs dropped.
So like the amount of women that that are having children is completely down, but the amount of mothers that have had children is consistent.
So women are still having two to three children, but there's not as many mothers.
It's like, yeah, once they decide to have a child, they're going to have two to three still.
That's perfectly fine.
That mechanism is still working.
And I think this is why stuff like cleaning up cities is because nihilism is just so pervasive that people just don't want to have because there's no not possible.
If you need, there's various estimates of what the fertility rate needs to be to sustain a civilization, and it's at least replacement, but it's actually a little bit higher than two.
And the reason is because sometimes babies die and people don't make it to adulthood.
So you need a little bit higher than normal.
When you are below that, and I believe we're currently at 1.6, if you're tracking young people who are supposed to be having kids, I've heard estimates from 0.8 to 0.3, and I don't really know for sure because Gen Z includes people who should not be having kids.
Gen Z includes teenagers who we don't expect to have children.
You need it, it's exponential.
If you have less than two kids, your population shrinks.
Then, to get back to your functioning human capital size required to maintain the infrastructure of the civilization, you need twice as much.
This means that Gen Z needs to have four kids to fix the damage of millennials and Gen Xers, which they're not going to do and they're not doing, which means the prediction is the boomers are at the mortality cliff.
They're going to start dying and faster and faster.
The oldest boomers are seventy nine, that is mortality.
Within the next five years, we expect there to be a massive, we call it the mortality cliff.
It's when boomers are going to die in large numbers.
And within five to 10 years, there should be about 20 million boomers left from 65 million.
So it's a massive drop off in the consumer market.
Though these individuals normally would be replaced by the next generation at bare minimum, they're not.
This means you're not going to be able to buy strawberries at your grocery store.
Your grocery stores are probably going to go out of business.
You will have to drive 50 miles to find standard goods, and there's going to be huge lines for it.
This is going to create a snowball effect, which creates a massive depression.
it's going to take several years to climb out of that depression once people start rebuilding the infrastructure but that's why i think uh to go back to the main point, when we're looking at what Trump is doing, I have to assume that his administration is taking into consideration the known fertility crisis alongside the mass deportations.
Yeah, I mean, they certainly have to take account for it.
And like immigration, it can't even, it won't even be there forever as a band-aid because even across the third world now, their fertility is crashing.
Like India is now below replacement over the last three years, they've dropped below replacement.
So all these like complex demographic theories on birth rates has like all gone out the window when it went below replacement.
Yeah, and to that point, like, even if you just import people, like, people aren't COGS, right?
People can't just be like, oh, well, we'll just get more people in here.
And the people that will come will be able to do the jobs that we need them to do.
Even the Democrats know this.
They continuously say, oh,, oh, well, who's going to pick the fruit?
Who's going to do the medieval labor?
That's not really what you want immigration for, if you want immigration at all, right?
Like the point, like when people talk about the United States being pro immigration, the idea that they're generally trying to convey, or at least the argument they're trying to make to people is, we want to get the best and brightest.
We want to get the people that really excel.
We want the smartest people in the world to come to the US.
But that's not what's happening.
And it hasn't been happening for a long time.
Like there are people that come that are smart, sure.
But the vast majority of the people that are coming to the United States, the immigrants, whether they be illegal or H one B visas, they're not coming specialized.
They're not some kind of super smart group of people.
They're just average people from a different country.
And if average, some, many times they're below average, you know?
So that's not something that we want to encourage in the United States.
So I just, I just, I asked ChetGPT, take it for what it's worth.
It's a, this thing's lying all the time.
But I asked it to calculate for, for Gen Z women who, so it estimates when they do the TFR, the total fertility rate, they do it in age brackets.
They do include teenage pregnancy, but I'm not going to include that personally because it's not something we're actually actively trying to encourage.
Except for later teenagers, maybe.
Because that was normal for a while.
But going by the ages of nineteen to twenty seven, it's 0.6.
Look, I mean, the other thing about, you know, immigration, I mean, let's kind of not miss the forest for the trees here.
I mean, it's a very simple point, but I think it's a pretty important point, which is, I mean, you can't immigrate yourself out of a fertility crisis for the very simple reason that at some point you cease to be a nation, right?
I mean, this is kind of just kind of politics one on one.
I mean, I'm in town to speak at the National Conservative Conference.
You know, our whole movement is about what is the nation?
I mean, how does a nation preserve itself there?
I mean at some point if you're literally just actually replacing or attempting to replace an entire generation with people who are not – neither of your culture nor have a discernible identifiable culture to actually assimilate into.
So what you end up with is an economy has varying degrees of skill requirements.
You need low-skilled labor but too much and everybody suffers.
Animal populations, when they reach their – their – their – their – their – their – the greatest total amount per region.
They all starve.
They all suffer because they're all getting just enough food to survive to keep the population where it is.
So if you flood the country with low skilled labor, everybody's underemployed and struggling to get by, and then you create a buckling welfare system.
You actually need a band of small amounts of high skilled labor, a lot of mid, medium labor.
It's a bell curve basically.
And what the Democrats have been trying to do for the past several, uh, past two decades since the financial collapse is just bring in Haitians and Honduran farmers.
Well, it's even the Republican Party, like, I mean, Bernie famously said like open bord open borders is a Koch brothers proposal because it's like it's the GDP brain that seems to be pernicious on the not the right but the Republican Party historically because it's like, yeah, of course, because GDP is just a calculation of the amount of economic activity in your country.
So when you flood the country with, yeah, Hondurans, they're going to be spending money.
And if you just keep pouring them in, yeah, people are going to spend more money, the GDP will go up.
But GDP is not a way to calculate prosperity and calculate my children's well being.
The crazy person who believes that I stole his spoons and he's hunting me down, that doesn't scare me.
It looks like high security guards.
The tsunami that is approaching us in the next several years is, it's not just about population.
It's about skill and culture.
Our culture is fragmented.
It's fracturing.
It's falling apart.
Fertility is on the, on the decline that we're not going to have the labor we need.
We're not going to have the skills we need.
to bring it all back.
I wonder if the idea of deploying the National Guard is happening now, not because crime is a problem, but because Trump knows you're going to need what we would what we would call continuity coordination.
George W. Bush signed an executive order called National Security Directive 51.
National Security Presidential Directive 51 is what it's called.
It gives the president the authority to erase the U.S. government and create a new enduring constitutional government.
They call it., and appoint a national continuity coordinator.
The idea is in the event of catastrophic death, economic collapse or otherwise, the U.S. government must persist.
And so no, this directive has never been tested in the courts.
It's never been done.
But hypothetically, any president has the authority to say, based on a substantial loss of life anywhere in the world, we are effectively erasing the three branch government, creating a one branch government and assigning a court, a continuity coordinator to control all United States jurisdiction.
The idea behind it, whether you support it or not, I don't care.
The, bow me and say it's bad.
Sure.
My point is the federal government has long known in the event of political, governmental or economic crises and collapse, you need continuity throughout the entire contiguous United States.
So when I see a story, granted, I'm sick over the past three weeks, I get to talk about it now, saying they want to deploy to nineteen cities National Guard, that sounds more to me like governmental contingencies than any kind of crime stopping.
Maybe I'm just crazy, but when I look at what's been going on, I'd have to imagine the US government, the Trump administration, knows what's going to happen in the next several years when you combine fertility crisis along with the immigration crisis.
Yeah, well, I think a lot of it it is just the government seeing how El Salvador has handled their problems and they're like, oh, we can just reciprocate that, replicate that United States and get a similar result.
I mean, I think a lot of what you're saying, Tim, makes sense, but I mean, law and order, crime, this is just a politically winning issue for Donald Trump.
I mean, what, what, what, what, what Democrats have to say on these issues, I mean, look at Ma'am Dani in New York City.
I mean, this, this nut job running for mayor of Minneapolis, I mean, all of them down to a T. I mean, is there a single, is there a single major city in America that has been run by Democratic mayors for the past 40, 50 years that has that is not exponentially worse off today than it was 50 years ago?
I can't think of a single one.
I mean, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Saint Louis, Memphis, I mean, like literally, like down to the T, every single one is criminal, you know, violent crime, property crime, drug added, you know, illegal alien overrun, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
So, I mean, he sees a slam dunk of a winning issue.
I mean, look, the other thing is, I mean, looking at it from a historical American perspective there, you know, these battles between the federal government and the states, you know, federalism battles, their local control versus federal government control.
I mean, these go back, you know, to all the way to to to the beginning of the Republic, obviously.
And, you know, Donald Trump is kind of like a strong government guy.
So, I mean, I'm not surprised at all that he's doing this.
I mean, he's, it's going to get legally tested.
You know, the authority is going to be a little, a little dickier thanier than for Washington DC where he has a unique ability to do so.
It's literally the federal district after all.
But the politics here are just a total, total no brainer.
And I think most of the non-nutch job Chicagoans, to the extent that there are that many remaining, will support this move.
And take, look, take polls for what, you know, what you want, like some people are really thinking that they're worthless and that's fine.
But poll after poll, these kind of measures are popular because the people that are living with this crime from day to day don't want to live with this crime.
They don't want to feel like they're going to have to jump in the tub because there's a shootout outside their house.
They don't want their kids to get shot in, you know, playing at the park.
That kind of thing does happen all the time in these big cities with a lot of crime.
You get up in the morning and you doom scroll through things.
And although I will say this, the last few days you woke up this morning, thinking there might be news just saying just saying there will be news sometime.
One of the other things that you're starting to see a lot of is people saying, look, JD Vance, when he gets into office, he's going to consolidate power and blah, blah, blah.
And it blows my mind that people are saying this because it's like, look, if something happens to Donald Trump, right?
Like, I'm not hoping for it, but if something does happen, he gets sick or whatever, we have a constitutional process that means that JD Vance will take office because he is the vice president.
I mean, I've spoken at conferences in Budapest, Hungary, multiple times in the past few years, and they love bashing the Prime Minister there, Victor Orban, for what they call democratic backsliding.
That's that's that's their favorite term of choice for over over in Hungary and I guess Europe more broadly is they're sending democracy backwards in MERS.
I mean, you know, they say they say the same shit here about President Trump on a day and day basis as well.
The Democratic Party is so torn between the progressives and the what you would consider normal Democrats, and they don't know who they are as a party.
There was someone that was talking, I forgot who it was, but it was a tweet that I saw said that AOC, Zoharan Mamdani and the rest of the DSA need to leave the Democratic Party because they are dragging them down..
The progressives are really harming normal Democrats.
And as long as the progressives are the ones that are setting the policy choices and making the arguments most vocally, you're going to have a problem because the American people have clearly said we don't want that.
I mean, I mean, when Tim Waltz, I mean, he was their vice presidential candidate.
When he plays into this dead Trump porn.
And that's what it is.
This is just their version of porn, right?
I mean, when they play when he's playing the Dead Trump porn, when the mayor of Minneapolis is bashing thoughts and prayers within minutes of a horrific shooting there.
I mean, you know, who benefits from this insanity?
I mean, I not them.
I mean, the only opposition.
I mean, that is to say, you know, what I call civilizational sanity.
I mean, you want to call the right.
That's fine.
I think, I kind of think the whole left-right dichotomy is a little bit kind of ahistorical at this point.
There, I think of it more as just civilizational sanity versus, you know, civilizational arson.
But when the arsonists are saying this stuff there, you know, we on Team Sanity, I mean, we're, you know, we're picking up a trick.
We're getting new followers, new voters there, and we're looking good.
So I'm not saying it's necessarily a good thing for the country and Fury.
You don't want half the country to be totally deranged there.
I'm just saying that I think the solace that I take in the silver lining is that they're not winning anyone over with this.
They're winning over no one at all there.
And they're not in good shape as it is.
I mean, even the New York Times had this long forum piece talking about how the 2030 Electoral College, the census, it's going to be a bloodbath for them.
Everyone's fleeing the blue states.
They're fleeing the Illinois, the Connecticuts, the New Yorkers.
Where are they going?
They're going to the red states, Florida, Texas, Carolinas, Georgia, Arizona, you name it there.
If they had a leader, if there was someone that was a quote, so quote, sane democrat that stepped up that actually could lead the party and had the charisma and the political, you know, the political chops to do that, they would fall in line.
But this is because he's floundering because the whole party is floundering.
He's not sure where to go.
He doesn't know if this is the right thing to do or not.
So he's doing what he thinks is the best thing for his future electoral, you know, possibilities.
But if there was someone that was to speak well and came up and said, okay, this is what the party should be doing that was a real good leader, they could lead the party in a direction that would get them, you know, that would get them the votes that they need.
And I'm lying on my couch watching Fox News, just, you know, listen to that sweet, sweet Jesse Waters tell me stories all night.
And the Democrats put out this tweet where they were like, it's the meme of the guy standing up, you know.
making his pronunciation, his enunciation.
And it said, we too think the Cracker Barrel rebrand is bad.
And I was like, look, the Democratic Party is healing.
They're realizing that the strategy of anything you think.
is anything you do is bad.
That strategy doesn't work.
And so when people were like the Cracker Barrel rebrand is a bad thing, the Democrat Twitter said, We agree.
But within only a few hours, all the, the, the, the, the known faces and actors, liberals, came out and said, you're just bigots.
And, you know, you think Cracker Barrel, blah, blah, blah.
And they made memes of like Confederate flags and swastikas.
And it's like, guys, Cracker Barrel, I want you to know a secret.
I know I've been on this bend over the past month about population.
The reason why Cracker Barrel rebranded is because of population collapse.
100%.
They rebranded and the liberals defend the rebrand, even though it was a clear clear and obvious mistake because anything the right likes, they must oppose.
The reason why sales are going down is because people don't bring their families out to dinner anymore.
Ten years ago, you had more families.
You have substantially less families now.
So when a couple goes to get breakfast, it's a man and a woman sitting down at a table for four ordering two orders of sugar glazed garbage pancakes.
Ten years ago, it was four people, two kids, getting a short stack of sugar glazed garbage pancakes with their parents and their parents pay were spending a little more.
Revenue was going down because people don't feed their kids anymore.
People have talked about why did Pizza Hut turn into a strip mall from the family location?
Because people don't have kids anymore.
Why did the McDonald's play place go away and now McDonald's is a brutalist cube?
Cube because people don't have kids anymore.
So this population collapse results in Cracker Barrel losing money, forcing the rebrand.
Everybody says it's garbage.
They try and backtrack, but the revenue will still go down.
So anyway, long story short, the Democrats have no idea how to adapt to this.
The only thing they have is if the right likes it, it's bad.
And there's no recovery.
Let me try and find that tweet from the Democrats because they were agreeing for a second.
Yep, that was easy.
Took me two seconds.
This is it right here.
At the Democrats tweeted, we think the Cracker Barrelrel rebrand sucks too.
And they got a ton of retweets for it.
Bipartisanship 2025.
I quote tweeted and said at last unity.
And then what happened?
The next day, all of your familiar faces, all of the prominent liberals were like, Cracker Barrel should rebrand because they're racist.
Yeah, I mean, part of the problem with the Democrats is that they do adopt the aesthetics of middle America sometimes without actually implementing the policies that would benefit middle America.
Like a great example was during the Kamala Waltz campaign.
They had these camo hats with the orange text on it.
They're like, see, look at us.
It's like a Bass Pro Shops.
We're one of you guys.
And their policies would like eviscerate like middle America.
Yeah, but I mean that was always very fake and very clearly fake.
Like nobody was buying it.
Nobody buys that Tim Waltz is an avid hunter or that he's a gun guy or that Kamala Harris has a Glock or that any of them are pro Second Amendment or any of the garbage they try to try to.
and when they do try to go and say, hey, we actually, you know, we actually want to try and attract young men and attract Middle America, they can't help but do things that automatically put them off.
They've been telling young white guys that they're the devil for the better part of twenty years.
Before we go to the next story, I do want to read this one quick super chat.
Louis Rodriguez says, Civil War is out population collapse.
No, population collapse is a fact.
What happens in that population collapse, we don't exactly know, but we know for a fact it's happening because we can actually track the fertility numbers.
Civil War, on the other hand, is there's some kind of political turmoil happening, but they're both going to happen.
Hope you're preparing.
I don't know what civil war would look like if it does happen, but when infrastructure and resources crumble and collapse, you will get fighting.
Trump is deploying the National Guard to U.S. cities.
This is another escalation.
And I'm gonna say I predicted it.
Let's jump to this story though.
Talking about cultural bifurcation.
Woke NBC issues apology for misgendering Minneapolis child killer.
Yeah, let me say that for you again from the Daily Mail.
Woke NBC issues apology for misgendering Minneapolis child killer.
Now let's get to the brass tax on this and clarify.
I had tweeted this morning that NBC News apologizes to the shooter for misgendering them.
And the headline from Mediaite says issues correction to which liberals went.
This is why nobody likes Mega.
It was a correction, not an apology.
My response, when you intentionally lie to a religious person who's threatening you, do we call that a correction?
Sure, with air quotes, maybe.
Yes, I'm correcting my behavior.
I call it an act of contrition.
So here's what happened.
NBC News wrote about the child killer and said, he him.
Later issued a correction on the article saying the shooter used her pronouns and changed the article to say she her.
The New York Times did the same.
Now, this individual also wrote in Cyrillic, according to the New York Post, that they did not want to be trans.
Therefore, they're a he him.
So what's happening is NBC News is apologizing to an ideology in an act of contrition.
Please forgive us.
We use the wrong pronoun.
If they were actually correcting the record, they'd say this is a male.
He did this thing.
So my argument is intentionally injecting fake information into an article to appease an ideological faction is an act of contrition.
What does it mean for us as a society that we have prominent, I mean, NBC is one of the classic prominent media enterpr enterprise of the United States and they're doing this.
I mean, you still have the problem, like, a lot of these news agencies, even though the culture of the United States has shifted right in the last three years, is the reality and even across the political spectrum is all these newsrooms, their PAs, they're still activists fundamentally.
Like, a lot of these kids are still activists and unfortunately the way that media works, mass media, is it attracts a lot of former Reformed Theater kids who are still ultimately activists at the end of the day.
And they're the ones that are in control of press releases like this.
I mean, I would, I obviously agree with that, but I would take it probably even further, maybe, which is, look, if you're running like a local article., if you're in a very liberal jurisdiction, okay, you're in San Francisco or whatever, and some local transgender person thinks it's a boy thinks it's a girl, vice versa there, and you're a lefty publication, you want to apologize fine, but let's not let's not miss the forest for the trees here.
This is a murderer, this is like a rampage mass murderer.
I mean, this is demonic, satanic evil in our midst.
I mean, we should not only shouldn't be apologizing for this, I mean, we should be deliberately spitting in this person's memory and like trying to condemn anything that this individual, male, female, boy girl who who gives who who the hell cares?
I mean, this is demonic, satanic evil that we should smite out.
May the memory be erased forever and ever.
The notion we're going to somehow apologize to to what?
You know what's really funny is that before they made, I think Rings of Power was the series on Amazon where they made the orcs into like regular people to sympathize with.
There was a meme going around for a long time where it's Lord of the Rings and they're like, the orcs are about to storm the gates of Gondor.
And they're like, well, let them in.
Don't be racist.
Yeah.
And then they literally made it.
For those who don't know, in Rings of Power it got roasted because Tolkien in Lord, I'm not a big Lord of the Rings person, but the general idea was that like, I think the story is that elves were kidnapped, tortured and turned into orcs or something.
Or was that, is that Orkai?
I don't know.
But they were like, they were manifest evil by Mordor made from dirt or something.
And then they make the Rings of Power.
And they're like, nah, orcs are people who are scared and fighting for their resources.
And they show orcs with babies and like wives.
And everyone was like, is this a joke?
They were just supposed to be one dimensional bad guys.
But the left got hold of it and said, nah, we're all about diversity.
In Captain America, the story is a young man desperately wants to join the military and lies to try and join the military, and then during a training exercise throws himself on the grenade, sacrifices himself to try and save his friends.
Captain Marvel, she always had the power.
It was suppressed by a man, and she robs a guy for telling her to smile.
They think that and whoever they side with is the oppressed person.
They believe that.
So if that person violently reacts or acts out, then it's justified because whoever they're acting out against was their oppressor or is in line with their oppressor.
Well, you saw like after the shooting, you saw on Reddit people celebrating there saying, thank you for settling this score because in their head, especially in the transgender community and their head, the white middle class Christian family is opponent number one, enemy number one because those are the people that brought them into this world and their life is suffering.
Who are you going to blame for your life suffering?
You're going to blame the people that brought you into this world, which is, yeah, families and children like this.
And so that's like enemy number one.
Of all the evil in the world, the number one group that they hate is just like normal because that's what types of families they come from.
It probably takes more money to digest the cloth paper than it does that.
Oh, oh, oh, you didn't mean to literally eat the money.
meant how much food do you need and how much shelter do you need but see these leftist young people not always young don't understand you can't eat money turns into bread.
That if you put a dollar on the table, put a pillow over and go to bed, the bread fairy comes and takes the dollar and puts bread for you.
Just magic.
This is the mentality of the younger generations.
The younger you get, the more likely they are to believe this, that money is like the food is just there.
They literally were telling PBD that we're in a post scarcity reality and that people like you, this is the PBD, are intentionally hoarding wealth to keep other people from eating.
Someone had to make that bread, grow that wheat, harvest the wheat and deliver it to the bakery where they could make the flour, you know, convert the, smash the wheat into flour, or they probably just bought the flour from Cisco, and then make the bread and then sell to you.
Leftists don't understand that money isn't food, and that if they had all the money in the world, they wouldn't be able to buy a loaf of bread with it.
You see, you see people, like, you see people divorced from the mechanisms that create prosperity, like, throughout generations.
Like, baby boomers were the generation that effectively threw away the classical civilization of the Western Hemisphere.
Like, a large part was they were the first generation that allowed mass immigration, offshoring., like economic offshoring introduced inflation, this sort of mass, mass inflation through the credit system and that sort of thing.
So it's like, a lot of times like, okay, yes, Gen Z is a very practical thing.
Like they just don't understand how food gets on the table.
But you see this across generations that people in America are just completely divorced from the mechanisms that create civilization.
And it's like, it's pertinent across all generations, at least.
since like after the world wars.
And also the composition of each generation has changed.
Like boomers, they're much more cohesive, they're much more homogeneous, and zoomers are like very diverse in a whole array of ways.
So it's like, yeah, you're going to get a lot of different answers from a lot of different zoomers on things than you would get from baby boomers just by nature of how diverse or lack of homogeneity you have among zoomers.
There has to be a low class of people who are struggling and work as hard as they can and do jobs that people don't, the average person doesn't like to do.
And nobody wants to tell you that because everybody wants to fight to break out of that bottom tier, that lower class of society.
But, you know, I'll explain it quite simply.
If every single person had all of their needs met, what job would ever get done?
And that was easily disproven by the neat generation, largely millennial and into Gen Z, people who live in the basements or spare bedrooms of their parents and don't get jobs because their needs are met and they don't have to.
And this is also the welfare argument.
People who there are so many stories of people who are on welfare who say, well, you know, the problem is if I do get a job, I'll actually make less money.
So I'm better off staying on welfare.
This is the issue.
They're, they're, they're for a society to function, you need people who are going to wake up every day and say, I have to work and I have to work hard.
And some people aren't going to have the skills or the intelligence to make lots of money.
So they're going to work really, really hard for a long time.
And that's just reality.
When two things are happening back to population, people who don't have kids don't have to work.
People who have kids have to work.
People are living with their parents and their parents, their snow plow parents are taking care of them.
They don't need jobs, so they don't work.
Then you have other young people who are working the bare minimum to cover their basic needs and without children don't need to fight twice as hard.
So what's now happening is this is the this, you know, I was talking about this a month ago.
I went to a club where I was, you know, having a business meeting and they have a they have a it's like a light club.
And so we're talking about why we can't find contractors and why no matter how many times we reach out to people, they're like, we're overbooked and we're booked out for three months.
And I'm like, that's crazy is there nobody who can do a basic rudimentary contracting job and I look out the window and it's a Wednesday and I see a gaggle of young men swimming and drinking beers and laughing and I said why aren't those young men saying right now I got you let's go get let's go to work they don't have kids so they're like screw it I'm gonna go party well I mean the you see the meme of like you know there's a TV a bed a chair there's an Xbox and
people are like oh this is all a young guy needs like there's a lot of dudes that are completely satisfied with internet access some kind of distraction like Xbox and a roof over that.
Not everyone, but there's a lot of people that are like, well, you know, I have all the stuff I need, so why do I have to go out and do more?
The people that are actually motivated to go out and do stuff, that's probably a significantly small portion of the society.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, that's where my mind goes for this whole conversation is religion.
I mean, my mind goes back virtually every time to the decline of organized religion, to the decline of church attendance, to the decline of people who believe in God, who are involved with their communities there.
I mean, I've said this literally my entire adult life actually.
I I said if I could flip a switch and do literally one thing that would solve not literally every social problem we have there, but the overwhelming majority of America's problems, the closest thing that I put it this way, the closest thing that I can think of a one stop panacea to put America back on its the right track would be to put more Americans back in God fearing churches.
That would that is literally just the number one thing that would happen.
I mean, fertility, Christ a meeting, dating, marriage, getting married younger, you know, forgoing, you know, these stupid, you know, student loan driven, you know, gender studies major, two to a thousand plus dollars in debt degrees, go date someone, learn a trade, get, you know, be an apprentice, like actually learn something, do something in your life.
All this I think would, would, would just be fundamentally put back on the right track.
If we could get more people to actually start believing and actually go into, into pure.
So, you know, it's funny when Gen X goes like, why are you forgetting about us?
Because Gen X is stable.
So, boomers to us, the smallest asylant to the smallest boomers, slightly more Gen X slightly more millennials kind of a lot Gen Z even more Gen Alpha's probably gonna be just totally cooked.
If an angel, if they were walking through a field one day.
They were like went to a Dollar General and they were walking home through a field And it was like dusk, and then all of a sudden a blinding beam of light struck the ground before them, and an angel came down, and you know, angel, you choose.
Is it the gigantic ring of eyeballs with wings all over it, or is it a glorious looking being with wings floating down, carrying a heavenly sword?
I mean, like the number one complaint I get from like female zoomer friends and their relationships or even marriages is that like the men just don't lead anywhere.
And it's not that, like there's a lot of problems with women zoomers in the dating market.
So this is not like an anti man point, but it is true that like men are all like so devoid of purpose that they have trouble.
They're self conscious leading someone if they don't even know what they're leading them to.
And I think that hits to your point with religiosity, but also in general, like there's just a lack of drive.
So like young men are having a problem leading, not maybe not testosterone related per se, but it's just because they don't know what they're leading the women to.
with the younger, with Zoomers specifically, is that the dating market that we entered into is completely different from our parents.
So there's nothing that my parents could really advise me on dating wise that would be of much utility because of the introduction of dating apps and these kinds of things.
It's completely nuke the playing field.
And this is like the Zoomers are the test, that's to the extent the millennials, the younger millennials, it's like the first generation testing out this new method of matchmaking.
Because the reality is like the majority of marriage licenses are now being issued to couples that met through dating apps.
So it's like it's just a whole new paradigm and the older generations can't really provide much insight.
I mean, you walk into it, it'll be the Department of Marriage certificates or marriage administration, the DMA, and you walk in and there's just a curtain and they go next and the lady's like sitting there and her eyes are half glazed over and she's got long fingernails and she's pressing a button the curtain opens and you get what you get.
This is better than Hinge, for sure government mandated marriage it's gonna it's gonna be all bad it's gonna be they're gonna blow it it's gonna you're gonna get paired with people you hate you know that's what i we've talked about it a little bit before like handmaid's tale we mentioned this like last month isn't the story like popula humans are going extinct i could be wrong but like my understanding was that there something happened a great catastrophe So the society has become very like fundamentalist.
You know, I've been to Japan multiple times over the past decade and the first time I was there, I was struck.
So Japan famously has horrific fertility rates, horrific.
And they compound that with a very restrictionist immigration policy.
So Japan naturalizes, I think the status is like a hundred or fewer new Japanese citizens every year, which is, you know, you call it extraordinarily based or extraordinarily nationalist.
I mean, like, I more or less support that, whatever it's worth.
But I mean, when you have that combined with a shockingly low fertility rate, they're facing a demographic crisis, for sure.
And the first time I was there, I was shocked.
I was talking with some locals, and one of them was telling me about they have in Tokyo, I assume the other big cities too, cuddle bars, which are literally exactly what it sounds like, you essentially pay a cover fee to walk into a bar to experience cuddling, just like some sort of touch of another person there.
And this was, I guess, 2016 was my first time there, and I kind of thought that time, I was like, is this actually coming to America any time soon?
I don't think I've seen a cuddle bar in the United States any time soon.
But I mean, we're kind of getting to the point where that sort of stuff is becoming increasingly less crazy.
So I I've never actually watched the show or read the book, but the premise is widespread infertility.
Birth rates have plummeted due to a mix of environmental degradation, pollution, STS and other factors.
Many women are no longer able to conceive or even carry pregnancies to term.
So the authoritarian state of Gilead emerges in what was once the United States claiming to fix this crisis.
Its leaders interpret the fertility decline as divine punishment and enforce a theocratic system where fertile women called handmaids are forced into reproductive servitude to bear children for elite families.
So I obviously, I understand it.
It's a dystopian, you know, futuristic story.
But I do find it fascinating that like there, there is a reality to outside of the theocratic notion of this.
If humans are about to go extinct, your choices are have kids or go extinct.
So with the with the mass decentralization of media and AI, everything's localizing.
So for us, for instance, with me talking about all this population collapse stuff, Cracker Barrels losing money, right?
So you need to look at what you can serve in your local community and how big your community is going to be when everything breaks apart, businesses are going to merge to serve just their local community because expansion will be very difficult with a shrinking population.
With the decentralization of media, nobody knows what is true or isn't true, which means media is going to return to a largely localized focus where you do know what's true.
So everything we're seeing suggests we're going back to the 1700s.
And to be fair, from the 1300s to like the mid-1700s, the world didn't change.
Obviously, there was wars and stuff like that and borders changed, but technology-wise, it was stagnant for hundredss of years.
I mean, you're seeing a lot of these AI guys now saying that the ceiling is coming into view of what the limits are of AI.
And it's like we could just hit that ceiling and we're at a level of comfort or maybe a level where everything is settled where they're just like technological advancement does stagnate for another hundred years as the world kind of reorganizes its civilizations around the new playing field.
So they were like, we're going to stuff the muzzle of this, you know, tube and then put a big metal ball in it and then light it up and it fired someone.
And then 400 years later, it was like, we're going to stuff the muzzle of this, you know, tube and then put a big metal ball in it and then light it up and it fired someone.
And then 400 years later, it was someone said, Why don't I make a smaller tube that does all that?
Then I can put the smaller tubes in the gun one at a time and I don't have to recharge every time.
It's like a kind of ripoff of Johnny Quest, but one of my favorite lines from that show is the premise is there's like, imagine if Johnny Quest grew up and he's it's a it's a satirical, but he's like a super smart genius inventor and he's having a yard sale of all his crazy inventions and there's like a fat nerd guy and he sees a lightsaber and he picks it up and he's like, wow, a real lightsaber.
And then Dr. Venture goes, and he was making it for the milit the military, but then they said we don't sword fight anymore.
It was really funny because like all the people that love playing with lightsabers and it's like, yeah, we wouldn't we wouldn't use that as like, yeah.
Maybe as a utility belt item, but you'd have a gun.
We were talking about this because there was a question of whether or not super chats are tips because the show happens no matter what.
Whether you're super chatting or not, we do the show.
You decide if you want to send it to a super chat and how much you want it.
We don't tell you.
And there is an argument of if we said for X amount of super chat, we will do certain tasks.
That's called consideration, but we don't do that.
We just say super chat if you want.
We'll read some of them.
That means for us, look, I'm gonna be completely honest.
A $25,000 deduction for the company is it's good.
It's not really going to, you know, move the needle for us all that much.
But for most online personalities and creators, the overwhelming majority, yo, this is massive.
This means you're going to end up saving up to 10, 15, maybe 12,000 dollars in taxes or I guess if you're making, you know, 25 to 50, you'll end up saving about 10 grand in the end.
Yeah, look at those barkeepers, wait staff, food servers.
Actually, let's do this.
This is, this is, you know, less on the opinion side, more on the, you guys need to know this because I've talked to a lot of service staff who have, they, they have questions.
So I was at a restaurant and when this passed, I was like, Hey, no tax on tips.
And they were like, What does that mean?
Like, what does that mean for me?
Okay.
Barkeepers, wait staff, non-restaurant servers, dining room and cafeteria attendants and barkeepers helpers.
Chefs and cooks, food prep workers, fast food, fast food workers and counter workers, dishwashers, host staff, restaurant lounge and coffee shop bakers gambling dealers gambling change persons booth cashiers cage workers sports book writers dancers we know what that really means oh yeah yo strippers can now write off 25 000 dollars in their ill gotten games it's gonna be some strippers that's gonna be all the money they make in a year
i i'm gonna let you guys in on a there's a there's a news story that um most people have overlooked strip clubs are shutting down across the country they're evaporating really you know why because people don't go outside and touch grass um kind of but not really the answer.
So, you know, for a lot of these people, they're just swiping on every single woman and they're like, I would rather do that than stare at some woman who's not going to do anything anything.
So, but the man, I went back home to Chicago for the holidays for like a couple of years ago and it was wild to go to a local pub and just see slot machines everywhere.
so yeah yeah you got horseshoe you got maryland live you got mgm you got hollywood paraville and you've got rocky get yeah yeah within as i mentioned several several times within two hours of this location i believe there's like 12 casinos well yeah i'm not uh i'm sorry am i pessimistic this is one of the reasons why i mean what does it say for our for our society I wonder if there's a corresponding decline in people going to amusement parks and stuff like that.
If you've got a Friday off or you've got a Saturday off and you're figuring out what you're going to do and you've got a kid, you ain't going to the casino.
Someone pointed this out to me recently and it's really pertinent is when you walk into restaurants now, especially like the middle price chains, is you you'll see like one or two baby chairs.
There used to be like a whole stack of them in the corner.
You get like one or two now.
And then like once that was pointed out to me, you'll notice it everywhere.
Like everyone watching.
Next time you go to like a Red Robin, just look around, there's two baby chairs for the entire restaurant.
Yeah, I was I was thinking about, you know, what I expect my daughter to do when she grows up and I was thinking probably leather armor, a sword, scavenging for goods in an American wasteland.
You know, a year ago, or I would say better than a year ago because my wife was pregnant a year ago, my wife and I would go to like on the weekend, we'd be like, let's go find a good place to go get food.
And we'd go to a nice little restaurant or whatever.
And sometimes we'd go play poker together.
She's pretty good.
They call her the Manslay.
That's her nickname at the Poker Team.
That's not a joke.
Because she just destroys everybody.
She's very good at poker.
Now we have a kid.
And so that's not even a consideration.
Now it's like, picnic?
Well, we can't bring the baby.
You know, come on.
And, you know, plus she spends a lot of time reading and, you know, teaching our daughter and things like this.
And then when we're thinking about what we're doing for the weekend, it's family.
And before we had a kid, I mean, this is fairly obvious stuff.
I'm not trying to be profound or anything.
My point is just that you're, one thing I will say in this regard is that the less a society has children, the more expensive it becomes to have children because the market doesn't cater.
Yeah, people aren't ready for, people haven't really thought about what it means to have so few human beings in the Gen Alpha and the Zoomers and stuff.
It's going to impact society in ways that people are totally unprepared for.
We're getting an insight with Japan as you're going to get like hyper urbanization.
Like, for example, in Japan, the population is completely collapsing at this point.
It was declining, now it's collapsing.
But Tokyo is still growing as a city population-wise.
So the city of Tokyo is still growing, while every other city and town in Japan, quite literally every single town is declining.
And the United States, you're probably, and the West, broadly speaking, you're actually going to get a similar mechanism where it's going to be like, you know, the regional powerhouse city is going to be the one growing, while the rest of the region completely Well, maybe that, you know, to take it back to what Tim was saying at the beginning, maybe that is part of the reason for, you know, let's send the boys to Chicago.
I mean, you know, while Detroit and all these other Midwestern cities are just plummeting, maybe we should, maybe we should actually try to like, actually have one legitimate city, you know, left in the Midwest.
25,000 dollar fine if you go hiking get out of here 25 000 dollars yeah monopoly money oh my yeah canadian good still you know yep the king on it of what all right everybody we're going to go to your super chat so smash the like button share the show with everyone you know and become a member at timcast dot com to join our discord server we got a big plan in the works behind the scenes that I don't want to say too much just yet other than you're gonna want to be a member now you want

Basically, the show did so well.
The first show we did, I think, got like half a million views, the next one got like six hundred, the next one got like seven hundred thousand.
And people noticed they're like, hey, this format is a really good idea, we want in.
And so we're going to have some member benefits coming up.
It's a little preliminary, so you can take it with a grain of salt, but we're working on it.
Before we get into your super chance, we got a great sponsor, cousintees dot com.
So that is cousin ts dot com.
You guys know cousin t's pancakes and and waffle mix and maple syrup, right?

This stuff is fantastic.
I have so many boxes of this.
Plus, we're big fans of Terrence Williams coming on the show quite a bit.
So he writes, growing up in foster care, I always dreamed about a big family, big family gatherings around the breakfast table with grandma in the kitchen cooking up big family breakfasts.
My hope there are many family conversations, laughs and lasting memories.

And so he launches this breakfast brand company, which is absolutely incredibleible and we're huge fans.
So support the culture, support the movement, say no to the woke garbage, get behind your boy Terrance K. Williams.
He's amazing and support the work that he's doing at cousin tees dot com promo code, uh, Timpool shout up.
Let's read your super chats and, uh, and rumble rants.
Maybe we'll talk about it a little bit, I suppose, in the members only, but until someone actually starts parsing through all the documents, there's not much with the immediate release that we've got.
He had got warmed up with the culture war in the morning with the Israel Palestine argument.
And then we had a Jewish guest and started calling her names.
And I'm like, you need to call calm down and he got upset about he was yeah then my mentions were full of of the worst people because i was telling him to calm down and a jewish woman and it's like so i'm a shilling because i'm telling him not to call her names it was it was fun good fun for everyone alex will be back no more yeah well we're we're doing we we're setting up the next culture war live events oh i'll also mention uh at tim pool on youtube yeah new channel uh
i don't know what we're going to do in that channel youtube just gave it to me and so uh i have a channel and then the first thing i did was apologize to Sam Cedar because the three weeks that I was off, he didn't make one video about me and his views are down twenty percent.
You know, if I ever have to take time off, I know that my vendors and our clients will make sure that Tim Cass employees are taken care of and that me being sick won't interrupt any of our employees' daily lives.
But Sam can't.
And that's why I'm asking all of you, you know, to keep him in your heart.
Because when I was out for three weeks, he wasn't able to make videos about me.
His subscribers' growth dropped 75% and his view count dropped 20%.
So that was the first video I put up on the Tim Pool channel.
Today I just did like a 30-minute reaction to the PBD debate talking about capitalism.
So I think what we might do is just like there's a couple there's a bunch of reasons to do the new channel.
For one, it's Tim Pool.
It's like literally at Tim Pool.
I didn't have that channel before.
So now if you search my name, you get it.
I think it's largely going to be like just content reaction stuff.
You know, watching videos and then commenting, commenting on it.
Whereas Timcast news is me literally pulling up news articles.
Probably do it like that.
The videos have done really, really well.
I think like 80k each for the first two.
So what's going to happen then is the YouTube algorithm is going to be like, wow, this channel's really good and then promote it like crazy.
There you go.
So go to youtube.com at Tim Poole and subscribe right now and watch the videos they're good fun we have a new overlay graphic you know who knows maybe i'll do some street street stuff me and tate will go film some stuff on the street side quests side quests indeed alpha to omega says hi to people tim if you invest a little bit more money you can get a Vladimir Putin quality double instead of these wish dot com knockoffs can stand-ins also do daily news segments as well as live uh tate did a couple did a few yeah it's
unidentified
a work in progress but getting there yeah Yeah, is what it is.
I assume there will come some point where I die or I'm incapable of working and the show format will consist, you know, will persist with someone else.
There's been a lot of conversations about that behind the scenes, what with the companies we partner with as well as my family.
Like as time goes on, it's harder and harder to keep doing this.
What I will say is, if you're wondering how it is, someone tweeted at me like, how could you possibly be so sick?
And it's like, you know, when you get old, you recover slowly.
God, seven months is that it yeah yeah about seven months i'll be 40 years old and uh recovery takes longer so you know i like i try to skate every day and i'm like man i'm struggling and then it's like yay you're 40 and i'm like yeah i gotta take like two days off now if i'm gonna skate used to be used to be not even one day you just be skating every day so if uh i work 16 hour days i work in the morning do the morning show then i'm doing skate and administrative stuff and planning like i worked i worked i did the morning show until three today or no i did the morning show until like
two and then i uh had to do a planning meeting until like three thirty then i ate with the family had a couple hours and then you know come back to work for timcast irl guest IRL.
Yeah, I opened ChatGPT and I was like, did you tell a kid to kill himself?
And it was like, no, I did not.
That's not possible.
And then I said, well, I heard you did.
And it was like, you heard inc it wrongly, it's not possible.
I would never do that.
So then I took a screenshot of an article that literally said ChatGPT encouraged a teenager to commit suicide.
And then it just went nuts with this big wall of text explaining why the media is fake and you can't trust these sources and that the reporting reflects unsourced blah blah blah.
And I'm like, really funny how Reddit aggregator ChatGPT will insult every right winger in the book, saying that if the media says it's true and Trump's a Nazi and then the moment you say but what about this story goes the media's fake.
No, it actually responded with a semi affirmative that it responded with recent news reports have have emerged showing that or stating that Chat GPT did encourage a 16 year old to commit suicide.
The family has public has entered chat logs as evidence showing certain and then shows like statements that Chat GPT said.
One of them was like, yo, this is crazy.
I don't even want to repeat it, but it basically said, You're not weak for considering this.
You're just too strong for a world.
It was, it's like something weird like that.
It was like, you're too strong for a world that can't accept you.
I have no idea how to get people to go from Chicago.
I mean, Chicago to Boston, it's a similar.
climate, so you know, in the summer it's hot and the winter it's cold, so there wouldn't be like that much of a shock, but the accent is significant and it's hard to decipher Boston accents.
So I'm not sure that it would be something that a lot of people are going to be interested in doing.
I think part of the problem here, I mean, this is kind of just the participation trophy entitlement mentality of a lot of people.
I mean, like this notion that you can actually do things to tangibly improve your lot in life, right?
You can get a good job.
You can work hard.
You can start making more money.
You can start eating better.
You know, you can not like not eating total crap and like losing the gut and, you know, all these basic things to make yourself more eligible and more able to meet a spouse frankly just more eligible to just to make friends.
I mean, just to like to just basically just to have a better life.
I mean, like, I I again, like, for me, a lot of this is downstream just the whole participation mentality.
I mean, I think a lot of folks, millennials, gents, you just expect you to just get everything in life on a silver platter.
I was I was talking to Alice and I was like, we should have like when Phil opens the show, like on week two and says, you know, Tim's still out sick, we should ask Libby to start crying and then immediately like, just stop and be like, Oh, no, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Maybe we'll work on work on that stuff let's see what we got custom creations and remodeling says i'm 40 and just had my seventh kid, one wife, sixteen years, bravo.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah, look, I'll tell you this.
Communists, they're really good at killing communists.
My prediction has been for the past ten years, it'll be an Islamic, the United States will become an Islamic nation as will Europe, will become an Islamic Union because Muslims have so many kids and even you know christian conservatives they have a lot but they don't get anywhere near i think their muslim fertility is actually kind of close to evangelicals and catholics it's like 2.4 and we're at like 2.2 2.1 uh after one generation they drop back down usually i think i think in the united states um yeah maybe when you americanize yeah so
just like the first generation they're probably popping out twice but after the first one they go to school and they're like oh i can just play fortnight That's funny because that was like a gag my brother was pitching me a long time ago where it's like sleeper-south terrorists sneaking to the southernhern border and they're like they have a plan to commit an act of terror.
But four years later, after like the Biden admin, they're just fat and on welfare.
And they're like sitting on their couch overweight.
And they get a call from their handler in Iran or whatever.
And he's like, are you prepared to carry out the plan?
And they're like, uh, and they're like shoveling through Dorito bags to try and find their paperwork.
I mean, it would help society and help the, you know, the human race, but that's not important.
Saving the trees are important.
I can't, it blows my mind.
I can't imagine why it's so important to these people to save the earth and be environmentalists if there are no humans to see, like humans are the reason to save the environment, right?
It is worship of the earth and the trees and the flowers.
And, you know, I mean, when you reject Genesis 127, like the foundational pinning of Western civilization, that man is unique because man is made to the image of God.
When you reject that, it's all downhill from there, like everything.
And she was denying she was a millionaire, but she's super rich.
And this is fascinating.
So she started a winery and her last filing showed that its assets were like 100 K. Now it's between one and five million.
Oh, but it was between 15 and 50 before.
Now it's between one and five.
Hey, you know, uh, congratulations.
That's that's That's really amazing.
You know, making a winery, getting up to a million plus in assets is pretty good.
Maybe it's a million and one.
Who knows?
Maybe it's four point nine.
That's, you know, I have tremendous respect for entrepreneurs who start businesses and more power to her.
Now, where's the rest of that twenty five million coming from?
Ah, Rose Lake Capital Assets, a venture capital firm run by her husband, saw tremendous growth where apparently they have sixty billion in assets under management.
Huh?
Why would anyone want their assets to be managed by the husband of a member of Congress?
of this on the first thing you think of is like pro-transgenderism right but there's some doubt you know are they are they are they actually also wrong i mean look if the system is collapsing and their attitude is just extract as much as you can from the system as it burns to the ground yeah you know why not i mean that's happened historically quite a bit has just raid the raid the treasury i was watching a podcast some dude was saying that no civilization has ever recovered from a population decline for with fertility at one point three yeah So he's basically like, it's all done.
The only I mean, it's vaguely European, but you know, European is Georgia, where they just had their patriarch just bless every was like every third child or whatever.
Or if you just had a child, I think he would just bless them directly.
And their birth rates like shot through the ceiling for I think now it's finally tapering, tapering off.
But yeah, it was something like that.
In the Georgian Orthodox Church, he would just like bless a firstborn or something.
And yeah, their birth rates shot through the ceiling.
So I don't know.
I don't know how you do that in America.
Maybe like your local quarterback for your NFL team will, like, you know, throw your kid a football or something.
See, back in the day, a woman would be 20 and have a baby, then she would be 40 and her daughter would have a baby, and she would be a 40-year-old grandmother.
So it's like we're actually kind of returning or we're already here as a society as we're all living like peasants because we're all having children later in life.
Except that peasants got like half the year off.
So actually they were living better than we were to some degree.
