| The FAA has announced they will begin cutting thousands of flights starting Friday because they don't have air traffic controllers. | ||
| The shutdown will result in cancellations. | ||
| Oh boy, just in time for Thanksgiving. | ||
| Donald Trump has called on Republicans to end the filibuster so that they can actually get things done. | ||
| And the Republicans aren't going to do it. | ||
| They're saying they're not going to votes. | ||
| It's not going to happen because, oh boy, the Republicans are spineless. | ||
| There's a fake argument that, but if you end the filibuster, what will Democrats do? | ||
| I assure you, when Democrats take the Senate back, if they do, they will end the filibuster in two seconds. | ||
| And then they're going to run roughshot over this country and do whatever they want. | ||
| So, how about we get the job done? | ||
| Open things up before Thanksgiving. | ||
| Otherwise, people are going to be very, very mad. | ||
| They can't go see their friends and their families. | ||
| So, we'll talk about that. | ||
| We got new information on that UPS plane crash. | ||
| The engine broke off. | ||
| Fuel sprayed and spilled everywhere. | ||
| A massive explosion. | ||
| The death hole is increasing. | ||
| a horrifying story. | ||
| And of course, I know, I know, a communist has won mayor in New York. | ||
| We are well aware. | ||
| We talked a bit about it yesterday, but there are some developments. | ||
| Apparently, was it the fire commissioner? | ||
| I think that's what he resigned. | ||
| Yeah, fire the FDNY commissioner resigned. | ||
| He is Jewish. | ||
| He did not necessarily give a reason, but his last day is like December 19th or something. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So we'll get into all of that. | ||
| It's getting crazy. | ||
| Plus, Jay Jones winning in Virginia and what that means for right-wing individuals and what Democrats are telling you they plan to do next. | ||
| Before we do, we got some great sponsors for you, my friends. | ||

| I have been enjoying myself a glass of the pumpkin spice every night before bed. | ||
| It is delicious. | ||
| It's got meltonin, magnesium, alphenine. | ||
| It is amazing. | ||
| I have been sleeping better than I've slept in a very, very long time. | ||
| Since I didn't even know my sleep could improve, which was crazy. | ||
| I thought I was doing pretty, pretty okay. | ||
| But, you know, the thing is, that was my baseline, and I assumed I was getting good sleep because I did not know it could be better. | ||
| Started drinking Beam Dream, and now I've been sleeping even better, and I swear by it. | ||
| I get asked about it. | ||
| They're like, Tim, are you reading a script? | ||
| I'm like, well, I have a script, but I don't need to because Beam Dream is really amazing, and my sleep has been absolutely fantastic. | ||

| We've got Brett Pike. | ||
| Well, thanks for having me. | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| I'm Brett Pike. | ||
| I'm the founder of the Classical Learner Homeschool Company, and I try to educate the children so that they don't vote for a communist next time one runs. | ||
| And everyone talks about the young people voting for communists, but they don't talk about the reason that happens. | ||
| And it starts in kindergarten. | ||
| It starts with the school system. | ||
| And by the time they turn 18 years old, for a lot of them, it's already too late. | ||
| So it really has to be a two-front war where one, you try to wake people up, and two, you prevent them from going to sleep in the first place. | ||
| And that's what I do. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Well, it should be fun. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| Libby is also here. | ||
| I'm hanging out. | ||
| I'm Libby Emmons. | ||
| Glad to be here with you guys. | ||
| We got Brett as well. | ||
| What's going on, guys? | ||
| Brett, normally doing Pop Culture Crisis Monday through Friday at 3 p.m., but we're hanging out. | ||
| How are you doing? | ||
| How you doing, Phil? | ||
| Hello, everybody. | ||
| My name is Phil Labonte. | ||
| I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. | ||
| I'm an anti-communist and a county revolutionary. | ||
| Let's get into it. | ||
| We got a story from ABC News. | ||
| FAA says it will cut thousands of flights a day starting Friday due to shutdown. | ||
| They have also talked about closing airspace. | ||
| That's the craziest story. | ||
| That was yesterday. | ||
| They are contemplating closing airspace. | ||
| Now, right now, they have confirmed they will be reducing capacity by 10% at 40 major airports. | ||
| The FAA will reduce flight capacity by 10% at 40 major airports. | ||
| The decision could cut thousands of flights per day. | ||
| The restrictions will go into effect Friday morning. | ||
| FAA Administrator Brian Bedford and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. | ||
| The airports that will be impacted will be announced on Thursday, officials said. | ||
| Our sole role is to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe as possible. | ||
| Reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations. | ||
| This is not based on light airline travel locations. | ||
| This is about where the pressure is and how to really deviate the pressure. | ||
| This comes after Duffy said earlier this week that the FAA will be forced to shut down the airspace in some areas if the shutdown continues into next week. | ||
| We are already facing, what is it, like a 2,000 personnel shortage for air traffic controllers? | ||
| That was already bad. | ||
| It's already bad. | ||
| Planes have already been crashing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Remember that plane that like landed in Canada and then rolled? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And if you remember, Caroline Leavitt was talking the other day. | ||
| She was answering questions in the press briefing room about the shutdown. | ||
| And she said that she had heard a congressional staffer who worked for a Democrat lawmaker say that they wouldn't reopen the government until planes started falling out of the sky. | ||
| Which here we go. | ||
| Like that's absolutely insane. | ||
| I got to say, I think this refusal on the majority leader Thun's part to refuse to terminate the filibuster because he's afraid of what Democrats are going to do when they get back into office, if they get back into office. | ||
| The next time they get back into office, this is something President Trump addressed at the breakfast this morning with GOP senators. | ||
| He was like, they're going to get back into office. | ||
| They're going to bust the filibuster. | ||
| They're going to pack the court. | ||
| They're going to implement everything. | ||
| And Trump's idea was terminate the filibuster right now, open the government tonight and pass our entire agenda. | ||
| Like, just do that. | ||
| Just do that, you guys. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The idea, you know, we've talked about this at length at this point, but like the idea that there is some kind of limiting principle to what the Democrats are willing to do or what they're going to do, that is a pie in the sky idea. | ||
| And to behave as if the Republicans' behavior is in any way going to affect what the Democrats do is a, I mean, it's a foolish endeavor. | ||
| The Republicans need to exercise power while they have it. | ||
| And to be honest with you, they need to do, and I've said this multiple times, the Republicans need to do everything that they can that is legal to make sure that the Republicans have as much of an edge to win in 2026 and in 2028 as they possibly can. | ||
| Everything that they can legally do, they must do. | ||
| This is no time for people that have a weak stomach for exercising power. | ||
| This is no time for saying, well, the Democrats will do this. | ||
| The Republicans need to do something. | ||
| I understand that. | ||
| The point that I'm making is that they need to find the stomach to actually exercise power because Republicans are used to do that. | ||
| They're not doing it. | ||
| Republicans won't do it. | ||
| So short of that, what do we do? | ||
| Well, the stupid part is that the American people said, here's some power. | ||
| We're going to vote for you in every office. | ||
| And now they won't take that power. | ||
| I mean, what are the options? | ||
| Like, now we have a socialist running the financial capital of the world, the greatest city in the world, the biggest city in the country. | ||
| The Democrats, as you said, Phil, are totally and completely craven. | ||
| So what are the options? | ||
| Third parties don't work. | ||
| Running Republicans doesn't seem to work. | ||
| I mean, get rid of Thune. | ||
| I mean, can we get Matt Gates back in here to get rid of some of these people in leadership? | ||
| People were framing what's been going on. | ||
| Like, what happened with Mamdani and all of the elections that happened yesterday as if that was a response to the way that the Republicans have been behaving for the first, you know, however long Trump has been in office? | ||
| It's like they were never going to win anyways. | ||
| Like those elections were a foregone conclusion. | ||
| So you can't pretend because that's almost an attempt to try to get them to curb from actually using the power that they have. | ||
| And that's, you know, I'm on this show once a week and we have to discuss it every single time, which is that no matter what you say, they're never going to actually use the power they have because they're too scared of being called names or being perceived as if what's going to happen to them in a couple of years isn't, it's already going to happen. | ||
| It's already going to happen. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's already going to happen. | ||
| And one thing that I thought was interesting was you had Spanberger, Mickey Sherrill, and Mikey Sherrill and Mom Donny. | ||
| They were all, they weren't running against their opponents. | ||
| They were running against Trump every single time. | ||
| I mean, Mom Donnie in his victory speech last night spoke directly to Trump. | ||
| Mikey Sherrill on the debate stage, when she was asked, what's the first thing you'll do when you get into office? | ||
| It's join the lawsuits against Trump. | ||
| Do you know what I mean? | ||
| Like Spanberger running against Trump. | ||
| None of them were running against their opponents. | ||
| And I think that I think that has something to do with the fact that there are no Republicans with any faces to speak of other than Trump and Vance and like a little bit of Rubio. | ||
| It's the number one thing that like for the length of time that I've been on the show, I said they have a big problem coming in 2028. | ||
| They do. | ||
| I like Vance for the most part. | ||
| I think mostly for mimetic qualities in a lot of ways, but he doesn't have that same bulletproof ability that Trump seems to have to be able to let it all roll off his back not yet. | ||
| But the problem is, is they don't have a way to coalesce around anybody else because there's no face there that anybody's really going to get behind, at least in my opinion. | ||
| We were talking about the elections yesterday and everything that's going on. | ||
| And I was thinking about when Trump is not running, we're kind of screwed because people only turn out when Trump is on the ballot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not even the ball. | |
| However, however, then I thought about it. | ||
| The only thing Democrats ran on the other day was anti-Trump. | ||
| Trump was on the ballot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was. | |
| He was anti-Trump. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So when Democrats, I think, equally will do bad without Trump. | ||
| I don't know if JD Vance can muster the same kind of craziness that Trump can. | ||
| I do think many liberals are just cultists. | ||
| It's a non-theistic religion. | ||
| They just, their ethos is fit in at all costs. | ||
| But I wonder how many people are going to be JD Vance ambivalent and if politics starts to wane without Trump being there. | ||
| So I got a question. | ||
| Is that a good thing or a bad thing? | ||
| Like I've always made the comment and people, well, and people have pushed back on me in this is like, I would like to go back to a time where it didn't seem like everybody was treating politics like a team sport and people who like you'd call them a tourist. | ||
| You'd say, you don't really have a lot of interest in this. | ||
| You're just kind of, you've picked it up since Trump came into office and perhaps you'll go by the wayside once he leaves. | ||
| But I do think they'll end up keeping him on the ballot by saying, like, this is the guy that Donald Trump anointed as he, I remember we were talking at one point about how Trump didn't necessarily endorse Vance when he gave that first interview because he knows that it could probably be used against him down the line. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Against Vance. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think Vance will want Trump support. | ||
| I don't think Trump has that same. | ||
| But early on, I think they were saying that the idea was like, if his term is dud and it doesn't go well, that doesn't help him. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, I think that that goes, that's kind of obvious for like whoever the Republican is. | ||
| You know, if the Republicans have not delivered for the American people, or if the American people don't feel like the Republicans have delivered, then that's going to be a bad thing for whoever the Republican is, whether it be Vance or whatever. | ||
| This is why I'm so much of the opinion that at the end of the day, it really does boil down to what the economy is like because the people will blame whatever party is in office at the time if the economy is not doing bad. | ||
| If they feel like they're not able to make their dollar go far enough, if they feel like they can't put food on the table, then they're going to blame whatever party's in office currently. | ||
| What do you think the, I mean, you guys are probably more plugged into this. | ||
| Like, what is the general consensus from the public on the economy now? | ||
| I think most people feel like it could be better. | ||
| I don't think that people are feeling like there's a boom time. | ||
| I'm not sure exactly what could be done to get back to the heady days of 2018, 19. | ||
| But I think that people are still hurting out there. | ||
| And I think that people still feel stressed. | ||
| But I think the reason why that is is because of how long it takes for wages to catch up to the inflation that happened, right? | ||
| Like inflation is a leader. | ||
| Wages catching up to inflation is lagging. | ||
| It takes a long time for people's wages to get up to match what inflation happens. | ||
| That's why inflation is so bad and it's such a, you know, why it has such a negative effect because inflation happens quickly. | ||
| It can happen in a year or in two years. | ||
| You can have prices go up by 20, 30, 40%, which is what actually happened here in the U.S. Things are like literally like 20 to 30% more expensive overall. | ||
| The dollar lost like 20% of its buying power. | ||
| And so you haven't seen wages go up 20 or 30%. | ||
| So until the wages catch up, you know, people are going to feel like that. | ||
| And I don't know that, I don't know that that is going to be solved by the end of Trump's term. | ||
| Well, do you guys think the government's going to reopen before Thanksgiving? | ||
| I think the only way that the government reopens is if they do the filibuster thing. | ||
| I don't think the Democrats are going to cave at all. | ||
| I don't think they have to cave because the longer this goes on, as they keep telling us, the better it is for the Democrats and for their priorities. | ||
| And low IQ voters will blame Trump for this anyways. | ||
| Well, yeah, it's easier to blame Trump because he's one guy as opposed to blaming like just Congress. | ||
| I think it's better just to call them by their proper name. | ||
| Democrats will just blame Trump for all of this. | ||
| No, because I would push back on that. | ||
| There's a lot of people that are right now really angry with Trump for a lot of things that Trump either didn't do, didn't actually happen, or things that they assumed were going to happen that he never made a promise on. | ||
| There are a lot of people that are still mad about the Epstein files. | ||
| Trump has said we need to release the Epstein files. | ||
| And the people that are holding any additional evidence, the people that are holding it back are the courts. | ||
| That's likely because there are minors in the Epstein files that they don't want to put their names out there. | ||
| And that's typical of what courts do. | ||
| So it's not that Trump is saying, oh, we need to hide them. | ||
| It's that the courts have said no. | ||
| Trump has come right out and say, has said, we need to release all the files that we can. | ||
| So we got this from Kaushi. | ||
| How long will the government shutdown last? | ||
| And the current forecast is 46 days, about $30 million wagered on this bet. | ||
| 46 days, which means a little bit more than a week left is the projection. | ||
| I've talked with some people in government and they said Christmas. | ||
| They said Christmas. | ||
| The Republicans have no reason to reopen. | ||
| Trump wants to use it as leverage to end the filibuster. | ||
| Democrats think they're gaining from it, so why would they stop? | ||
| Now, the sentiment now is considering they just want a bunch of races. | ||
| They're like, okay, now we can end the government shutdown because we've milked it for all we can. | ||
| The question is, will the Republicans, I don't know why the Republicans are keeping the shutdown going, considering they won on the filibuster either. | ||
| Anyway, so what's the point of being shut down? | ||
| Well, they would have to approve the extensions on these health insurance subsidies, which is really just a continuation of COVID relief. | ||
| I mean, these subsidies just came in. | ||
| Well, like, even if Democrats caved, Republicans would just, they should, what, just reopen government thunder, just say sure. | ||
| They just sign the CR. They keep voting for it. | ||
| They keep voting for the CR. If the Republicans allow Democrats to do this, man, I tweeted just now while y'all were talking that Republicans are retarded, but oh boy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| It's true. | ||
| If the Democrats just come to the table now and say, okay, open the government, and Republicans go, you got it. | ||
| They really are. | ||
| But they are spineless turds. | ||
| You can see that that's what's going on right now in the Senate. | ||
| Trump keeps having them over for breakfast, being like, yo, fellas and ladies, why don't you get this organized? | ||
| Why don't you get yourselves together and do something? | ||
| You know, you have some power. | ||
| The American people gave you some power. | ||
| Use it. | ||
| And the Senate just keeps eating their little omelets and mini donuts, and they don't seem to care at all. | ||
| I have a question for you, Britt. | ||
| Is the reason that like school, is schools getting rid of civics? | ||
| Is that why we're in the position that we're in? | ||
| Well, I think schools getting rid of civics is a big deal. | ||
| But just getting back to what you guys were saying before about how people feel about the economy, what I know for sure is that young people feel the economy is absolute trash. | ||
| And you see that with what goes viral on the internet as soon as someone starts talking about, sorry about that, as soon as someone starts talking about the ability to buy a home, they don't have it. | ||
| And what you get from that is young people who go to public schools and they're taught that they're taught CRT, they're taught gender ideology, they're taught that the rich are abusing all of these people and there's the oppressed versus the oppressors. | ||
| And then they're taught Keynesian economics. | ||
| And when they get into, when they turn 18 years old and they see Trump's in office and they see that the Republicans have been given power and they're not using that power to help the young people, what you get is a communist in New York City. | ||
| And the Republicans, I mean, I worked hard. | ||
| I fought for Trump, voted for him three times, but there's just no backbone there. | ||
| And, you know, even like with taxes, like imagine how powerful it would be if they came out and said, we need to cut all taxes related to food. | ||
| Restaurants, shipping, farms, grocery stores, absolutely no taxes. | ||
| Let's gut them, get rid of them completely, and let's drive these prices down. | ||
| And people would get behind that, but they don't do it. | ||
| Those things would be state-level things, though, right? | ||
| I mean, if there's no federal tax on food or anything. | ||
| Well, you know what I mean, though. | ||
| The Republicans could get together nationwide and they could start pushing these agendas and they can really start moving young people towards something. | ||
| We saw with immigration, when you have an agenda that people feel is in their interest, they want to get behind it. | ||
| And right now, the Republicans have been in power for a year and I don't feel that enthusiasm. | ||
| I don't feel the agenda. | ||
| I feel like Trump has kind of pushed the immigration issue as something that's going to be a long-form solution to help Americans. | ||
| And a lot of people, they can't necessarily see that in the short term because they're hurting right now. | ||
| And they're like, look, I love the long-term plan, but that doesn't always work when there's an immediate wound that needs to be fixed. | ||
| And that's something that else we've talked about a lot on here is like when people get pushed to the brink economically, they're not going to look for free market solutions, especially young people. | ||
| They are going to look for larger government answers. | ||
| And that's, of course, guys like Mdani. | ||
| When Trump was asked, I think it was, was it 60 minutes? | ||
| Or when he was told grocery prices are up, no, they're not. | ||
| And they are. | ||
| No, they definitely are. | ||
| Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
| It's crazy how bad prices are. | ||
| And that is going to impact the elections more than anything Trump is doing on foreign policy or on immigration, these raids. | ||
| As much as I'm for that, I do think it's fascinating. | ||
| There's this obsession with foreign policy among on the right, I suppose, particularly around Israel, because it is an issue that does not move American voters in any way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| And it's funny when I talk to these Israel first people, because there's two kinds of Israel first. | ||
| There's the diehard, they love Israel, and there's the Israel center of all problems in the universe, like Zaran Mamdani. | ||
| When he said the NYPD, when they lace their boots, it's laced by the IDF. He's insane and retarded for saying that. | ||
| When you tell them, yeah, you know, American people just don't care about foreign policy, they desperately try to convince you it's the most important issue. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, you are insane if you think that a working class guy works at a factory is coming home and going, Israel, and not going, I can't afford food for my kids. | ||
| Well, that's because we're in a space where we get on these microphones and we talk about things in theory and we talk about like more avant-garde political issues that the average person who's going to a 95 job doesn't take the time to read unless they're really, really into it in their free time. | ||
| But it's like the kitchen table issues don't even matter anymore to the people in these spaces. | ||
| And if Trump isn't paying attention to the kitchen table issues, then they've got to do it. | ||
| And the problem with that, of course, is that kitchen table issues are what got him to where he is, right? | ||
| I mean, I'm pro-Israel for the most part, but really I care about when I go to the grocery store and instead of $150, it's $300, which lately my grocery bills, like normally my grocery bill is like $150. | ||
| And the past two times, it's been $300. | ||
| And I'm like, what is this? | ||
| Like, how is this? | ||
| How is this happening? | ||
| I'm buying the same stuff. | ||
| You know, last time I was at the grocery store, I picked up a steak. | ||
| I was like, this looks like a nice steak. | ||
| It was $45. | ||
| And I was like, what is this? | ||
| And it was just normal. | ||
| It wasn't like some special ribeye. | ||
| I think the Biden administration has sabotaged this country to a point where Trump doesn't have a quick fix for it. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think there's a quick fix either. | ||
| The flooding of this country with illegal immigrants is jacking up prices across the board for low-skilled workers. | ||
| It's making competition for these jobs insane and in key areas, mind you, not everywhere. | ||
| But it's also making it impossible for young people to buy houses. | ||
| And what's crazy to me is like, even where we are, there's massive developments popping up everywhere. | ||
| And I'm just like, who's buying these houses? | ||
| Also, if you look at the prices on these houses, because I look at these too, because they're everywhere, you know, you're driving down the highway and you're like, wait, there's 500 new houses. | ||
| They're like $500,000. | ||
| And you're like, I wouldn't, I don't want to pay $500 for something like that. | ||
| I mean, are these just the houses? | ||
| They're just like a bunch of townhouses stuck together. | ||
| Like, you don't want to, that doesn't seem right. | ||
| That doesn't seem like the right amount of money, like $450,000. | ||
| But it's impossible for a Gen Z 26, 27-year-old to buy this house. | ||
| Yeah, but I couldn't buy that either. | ||
| They're going to get $100,000 in savings and a loan. | ||
| It's not happening. | ||
| Well, what percentage of these homes are being purchased by corporations? | ||
| Like, I know we've had that discussion before, and it's not as high of a percentage as people think it is, but it's still you're competing against, you know, investment firms rather than just going to rent it out. | ||
| Or just businesses in general. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You know, someone owns 10 houses and rents them, and it's largely boomers. | ||
| I think we're talking about someone who brought it up. | ||
| The median, the median age for homebuyers is 40 now. | ||
| That's why there's 40 without trick-or-treating. | ||
| I hate to break it to you, millennials. | ||
| 40 is grandparent age. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You are at grandparent age at 40 years old. | ||
| And that's not a joke. | ||
| Historically, people were having kids around 20 to 22 years old. | ||
| So it was funny when Elhan Omar's daughter got arrested for protesting or whatever. | ||
| Oh, at Barnard. | ||
| That was awesome. | ||
| But then everyone was like, Elen Omar's daughter? | ||
| Yeah, she's 22. | ||
| How is that possible? | ||
| Because Elen Omar is 42. | ||
| And they're like, what? | ||
| Yeah, she has 2000. | ||
| People have kids at 20. | ||
| You're a grandparent. | ||
| So if the first house you're buying is at 40, wow, we are cooked. | ||
| Yeah, and this is why if right-wing America wants to win, and you kind of talked about this at the beginning where you talked about Discord and building community. | ||
| Well, if right-wing America wants to win, you have to start showing young people, and I interact with them every day, the benefits of capitalism. | ||
| And I know a 14-year-old girl that runs a dog walking business and she has 10 employees. | ||
| I know a 15-year-old girl that's published four books, four novels, K.F. Barrett, and tons of kids with this type of story. | ||
| And when you show these kids what capitalism could do for them and how they could earn money and how they could hire people and hire their friends, well, then when they turn 18, 19 years old, they'll see a pathway. | ||
| They'll have hope in which they could buy that house. | ||
| But right now, if the economy doesn't change and we keep allowing our children to be educated in this Keynesian economic theory model, then you're going to get more and more people who are turning 18 and they're turning to the left. | ||
| Well, also, they were kind of sold on a world, like at least my generation was. | ||
| I'm 39. | ||
| You were sold on a world that didn't really exist anymore that you were going to have your parents' life where, yeah, you had to go to college. | ||
| Maybe your parents didn't have to go to college, but you were going to be able to go to college and then you were going to be able to find a job and you could work that job for 22 years and retire. | ||
| And that's a fantasy that's not really a thing anymore, not in any real sense. | ||
| And I feel like a lot of what I see from millennials is just burnout because life has become so complicated. | ||
| Like I was talking to someone today about like the fact that I have to log in to like nine things. | ||
| Oh, it is the worst. | ||
| Like your parents would have, their heads would have exploded if they had to like the guy who invented the password manager should get a Nobel Peace Prize and should be given a lifetime, like you should get a lifetime supply of everything because the average person having to do that, so if you're like, what happens when you forget the password to your password manager? | ||
| As I have done. | ||
| And like, it's been months. | ||
| But like what you're talking about there, there's just, there's a burnout there. | ||
| And for those people, like, there's certainly a type of person who's business-minded from a young age and they want to start a business. | ||
| They want to do those things. | ||
| But the school system doesn't in any way train you for that. | ||
| The school system trains you to be able to take instruction, but not to actually move forward and develop plans of your own. | ||
| It's like the idea of the person who runs a business not being somebody who actually teaches at business school because the guy who teaches at business school is rarely successful in business. | ||
| Yeah, life school should be business school. | ||
| And all they do is teach these kids to memorize. | ||
| And then from the time they're in first grade, they tell them the only path to success is college. | ||
| And they tell them that all the way up to 12th grade, they don't teach them financial literacy. | ||
| They get one course in 12th grade, and that's on micro and macroeconomic theory, not personal finance. | ||
| So these kids don't know what debt is. | ||
| They don't know what interest is. | ||
| They don't understand bankruptcy law and that college loans will be an unforgivable form of debt. | ||
| The guidance counselors aren't doing cost-benefit analysis. | ||
| So they should have the math done. | ||
| They should know if I go to college and I major in feminism, then I'm going to be broke and I'm not going to be able to afford a house. | ||
| And by the time they get out and they figure out what happened and they're 22, 23 years old, and now they get a job at a corporation and they're making $30,000, $40,000 a year. | ||
| If they get a job. | ||
| If they get a job and forget about it, if they're white and it's the DEI hires, not to bring race into it because it affects all people of all different races, but you get the DEI hires and it's very difficult to climb a corporate ladder. | ||
| And people get very disenfranchised. | ||
| And I think we're seeing that in America. | ||
| And the response to that, the answer to that, should be as parents that we can start teaching young people these things from a young age. | ||
| We can start teaching financial literacy in elementary school and we can start teaching entrepreneurship in middle school and high school. | ||
| And if you do that, I think what you'll see is a lot of young people who embrace right-wing America and free market capitalism. | ||
| But there's no middle ground there anymore, which is like what you're talking about. | ||
| And it is kind of like a talking point on the right to say like college is a scam. | ||
| But like 90% of the jobs that you're looking for out there now, they're going to require a four-year degree and 10 years of experience to get an entry-level position. | ||
| So no wonder people are disenfranchised when they're going to look for jobs after putting themselves into debt and they can't find it. | ||
| And then there isn't a middle ground there where you start at the ideas. | ||
| Like you started in the mail room and then you worked your way up at the corporation. | ||
| They're not doing that anymore. | ||
| Well, let me, how many people at this table have a college degree? | ||
| Not all of them. | ||
| I mean, not four-year, but yeah. | ||
| And the reason for that, Tim built a successful business, and now he could hire good, like-minded people. | ||
| I didn't go to high school. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And most of my employees, some of them are high school dropouts and didn't go to college. | ||
| So what you teach young people is that if you could be entrepreneurial and you could hire like-minded people, you start to raise people that aren't looking for those college degrees in sociology. | ||
| I'm actually looking for, I want employees who didn't go to college because then I don't have to deal with the indoctrination. | ||
| I don't have to deal with all the HR issues and everything that comes along with entrepreneurship. | ||
| And so I think a lot of the problems we face in the political realm, we could actually fix at the grassroots level, whether it's your Discord or whether it's people building businesses and educating their kids right from the start. | ||
| That's a massive undertaking to do. | ||
| And like, in the meantime, there's a lot of people that need jobs and the market doesn't, you know, it doesn't matter. | ||
| But if the jobs aren't there, I really like this idea of teaching people to be resourceful enough that you make your own job. | ||
| That's something that has to come from a very, very, very young age. | ||
| And I don't think if someone's an adult, like someone who has already had a harder time developing these habits, that's just a reality. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, the personality matters too, though, because if you're the kind of person that believes that life happens to you, you're not going to be the kind of person that thinks, I can go out and start this. | ||
| I can go and do this. | ||
| It is about attitude, but it's more about the type of personality that you have. | ||
| Go on, Sam. | ||
| I'll finish your point because we'll jump into this next one. | ||
| There's an exercise that every parent can do with their elementary school student. | ||
| And you have them look out the window and you ask them, what do you see out this window? | ||
| And at first, they say grass. | ||
| And then you keep asking them, yeah, but what do you see? | ||
| And eventually what you want them to come to is opportunity. | ||
| They see the opportunity to cut the grass. | ||
| They see the opportunity to plant seeds in the ground. | ||
| They see the opportunity to sell the fruit that grows out of the trees. | ||
| And what you teach them is that this is the window of opportunity. | ||
| everywhere around you your entire life, you are standing in front of the window of opportunity. | ||
| And if we raise our kids that way with that mindset and we help them get experience throughout their childhood, you get more and more people that are independent. | ||
| And ultimately, the goal should be to raise free and independent people because then they vote for a free and independent country. | ||
| Let's jump to the story for the post-millennial. | ||
| Jewish NYC fire commissioner resigns one day after Mamdani mayoral win. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| And so it begins. | ||
| That's what Trump said, right? | ||
| The resignation came first thing Wednesday morning, Solsis told the New York Post. | ||
| And Tucker, a Jewish philanthropist and businessman, will be stepping down from the role on December 19th, just over in 12 months after taking the role. | ||
| The letter obtained by the New York Daily News stated, between now and then, I will continue to lead the greatest fire department in the world and will ensure an orderly transition. | ||
| A source in the FDNY told the outlet there have been no talks between Tucker and Mamdani's team about him staying on as commissioner and added that Tucker reportedly felt he would not fit in with Mamdani and his team. | ||
| Was there anything explicitly about him being Jewish as to why he's resigning? | ||
| No, that wasn't part of it. | ||
| And in fact, it was just all coming from sources, sources who saw the letter, et cetera. | ||
| So we don't know they'd actually resigned. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| Well, apparently there was a resignation letter, but we don't know if it had something specifically to do with him being Jewish. | ||
| We do know, I mean, Jessica Tish is Jewish. | ||
| She's the police commissioner, and Mamdani had said that he would keep Tish on, and she's been doing, you know, by all accounts, a pretty bang up job. | ||
| So I don't know necessarily that it has anything to do with his being Jewish, but it certainly is interesting that he does not feel that he would fit in with the, you know, socialist mayoral agenda. | ||
| There was, if anybody here knows who Deborah Messing is, she's an actress, Will and Grace. | ||
| She's in very big trouble from people on her own side of the aisle. | ||
| She's a longtime advocate for LGBTQ rights. | ||
| She was in Will and Grace, which was like formative show for that type of topic. | ||
| And she posted a meme the other yesterday of like a ballot that said a regular Democrat. | ||
| And at the bottom, it said is an Islamic jihadist, Karl Marx quoting blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And then the meme is that the other option was just a regular Democrat. | ||
| And I was just laughing. | ||
| I'm like, there are no regular Democrats. | ||
| There's no regular Democrats. | ||
| She had the party stolen out from under her because she is famously very anti-Trump as well. | ||
| Meaning like back in 2019, she posted like a tweet about like wanting to get a list, like a black list of Trump supporters in Hollywood. | ||
| And he called her like a McCarthy, Trump got involved and called her like a McCarthy, like McCarthy. | ||
| And then later he admitted that he used to have a crush on her because of her red hair. | ||
| It was like a whole thing. | ||
| But the point is, all this happened because hatred of Trump allowed their party to be stolen out from under them. | ||
| They were too busy hating him to realize what was coming into places like New York City. | ||
| Well, they aligned themselves with a faction that sought to destroy them. | ||
| She's also Jewish. | ||
| So that's why I think a big part of it. | ||
| She cited Cuomo being like, he's a leader. | ||
| He's got experience. | ||
| You know, we can debate all day whether Cuomo is a great candidate. | ||
| But for the most part, religious Jews oppose Mom Danny and non-religious Jews are cool with them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, the idea that this is about Trump, I think that that's an error, though. | ||
| I think that most of the people that voted their voting, voted for Mamdani, like they're really voting thinking that capitalism is their problem. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think they know one way or the other. | ||
| Like that video we played where the dude asks the woman about Zarman's policy. | ||
| She's like, that can't be right. | ||
| I'd be willing to bet that eight out of 10 of the people you talk to on the street of New York who voted for Mamdani are going to be like, I think he'll do a good job. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| They're not going to tell you what he's doing. | ||
| They just wanted to vote for the cute guy who smiles big and makes them feel morally superior to others because they're voting for the brown guy. | ||
| I mean, I think that's true for a lot of the young white women who voted for him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| But I think most people voted for him are going to be like, derp. | ||
| There's a lot of people that nowadays don't look at socialism the way that honestly you should. | ||
| And they don't see the danger in it. | ||
| And they don't understand it. | ||
| They think that socialism means free things. | ||
| They think that socialism means that he's going to make, you know, it means that you'll get this for free or whatever. | ||
| And I think that that was a big driving factor. | ||
| It was the nice vote. | ||
| He'll make sure that everything's to everyone's taken care of. | ||
| It's very maternal kind of thing about it. | ||
| It's not that there was a significant pushback against Trump. | ||
| It is unfortunate that, was it 84% of 18 to 29-year-old women voted for Mamdaniel because it just says terrible things about their IQ. Mamdani promised things the mayor can't do. | ||
| It's the craziest guys. | ||
| If you nominate me to be head of the HOA, I will give you jetpacks. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| I mean, I might vote. | ||
| I got a feeling like this is the guy. | ||
| I can say whatever I want. | ||
| I was feeling like Mamdani is that guy who runs for student body president promising to eliminate homework. | ||
| It's like you don't have to go extended recess. | ||
| I should do this. | ||
| You don't have a say. | ||
| You don't get aside that. | ||
| I should do this. | ||
| I should run for office and just promise things that are kind of in the realm of possibility, but not within my purview. | ||
| Like I will write checks for $100 to everyone. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Everybody gets a check for $100. | ||
| When I'm president, I will personally, because you know the United States is rich. | ||
| Come on, you know it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I will write a check to everybody for $500. | ||
| Look at it this way: there's 330 million people in this country. | ||
| We bring in trillions of dollars per year. | ||
| I only need $333 million to give everyone $1 million. | ||
| And they'll all believe it. | ||
| And they'll be like, he's right. | ||
| Gosh darn it. | ||
| Wait, wasn't there a tweet like that a couple of years ago? | ||
| No, this was Brian Williams on TV with some woman. | ||
| She was like, it's amazing. | ||
| Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million. | ||
| And, you know, there was this tweet. | ||
| He's like, it is pretty amazing when you think about it. | ||
| And she's like, he could have given everyone a million dollars instead of campaigning. | ||
| And it's like, no, it's $1.50. | ||
| It's going to give everyone $1.60 something. | ||
| But people are really dumb. | ||
| So, hey, let's roll with it. | ||
| So I can be president and do whatever I want. | ||
| All I got to do is offer more free stuff than these people offer. | ||
| But that's part of the team sport mentality of politics. | ||
| Now, it's like you said earlier, Trump said grocery prices are down. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| Like, you should assume all politicians are looking to, at the very least, double speak to you and give you a half truth because that's their job. | ||
| Look at Zoro and Momdani. | ||
| He's like, grocery prices are high because of price gouging. | ||
| I'll open government grocery stores and that will solve all of your problems. | ||
| The government never overcharges anybody. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| This is ludicrous, Zoran Mandani, you fascist, you far-right capitalist. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm going to open grocery stores where they give you the food for free and pay you for coming. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Why you an entry fee? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Because, I mean, you're the one who makes the grocery store possible by being a patron. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| If there's no patrons, no grocery store. | ||
| I thought it was interesting, too. | ||
| Like, he's got this plan to tax the billionaires in New York City. | ||
| There's 123 billionaires. | ||
| Like, it's just the world? | ||
| No, just in New York City. | ||
| He's almost at millions of people. | ||
| He already has the most billionaires. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Just leave. | ||
| But like these guys, whoever these people are, these 123, that's it. | ||
| 123 people. | ||
| They have houses in lots of places already. | ||
| They don't have to have New York City be their primary residents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| They don't have to have America be their primary residence. | ||
| They don't have to do any of that at all. | ||
| It's shockingly easy to just go move somewhere else when you're a billionaire. | ||
| But he's already, he's also said that he's going to tax, you know, everyone that makes more than a million dollars, they're going to get a 2% tax. | ||
| And you tell anyone that their taxes are going to go up by $20,000 just because, and that's if you make a million dollars, right? | ||
| That's just the very, very entry level is $20,000. | ||
| It's not, what is that? | ||
| A million dollars in New York City is not that. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| But the point is, to people that are, that don't have, you know, don't have a pot to piss in, it sounds like a ton of money. | ||
| But if you tell anyone at all, your taxes are going to be increased by $20,000 just because they're going to be like, well, how do I avoid that? | ||
| This is the problem with the developmentally disabled being allowed to vote and run for office, okay? | ||
| There's something called the laugher curve, which is the point at which when you tax too much, you make less money. | ||
| So the story that I like to tell is Cook County, Duke Page County, a Home Depot story. | ||
| I learned this when I was like 18 because my friend's dad was a contractor, and I forgot how it came up, but there was a Home Depot in Cook County that closed down and reopened several months later in DuPage County, which was like 10 miles down the road. | ||
| And what was explained to me, Cook County increased their sales tax by like 0.01% or something like this. | ||
| And so there was a Home Depot. | ||
| They said, we're closing. | ||
| We're going to reopen in DuPage where we don't got to pay that sales tax. | ||
| And I was saying, that sounds stupid. | ||
| I mean, I understand you're paying more in taxes, but is it really worth moving? | ||
| And what my friend's dad said was contractors will drive an extra 50 miles if it means saving a couple hundred thousand dollars a year in materials costs because you're not just going to the store to spend 50 bucks here and there you're doing massive lumber orders and and getting tools but a lot of this a lot of these deliveries you're ordering from home depot massive amounts of lumber that gets delivered to the site so if you're spending millions of dollars over the year even 0.01 percent is not worth it you | ||
| may as well put in the order someone else it's coming for delivery why pay the taxes on it and i was like oh wow so cook county lost money by increasing tax revenue how about that more importantly because i grew up playing civilization i understood very simply when you increase the taxes on your cities you make less money because people stop spending and they stop they don't have money to spend and then i was like in civ 2 i love it they revolt they stop your economy stagnates you stop generating gold and you're like oh maybe that was a bad idea | ||
| but zoran mandani either doesn't know or doesn't care i think it's a brilliant combo it's it's real simple i got to tell you if you're if you make a million dollars a year and he says twenty thousand dollars extra gone people are going to be like i think i'll spend that twenty thousand dollars on the uh on an apartment across the river in jersey and i'll stop coming to new york jersey city is going to get real nice to be fair though they have the reciprocity between jersey and new york because of this and if you spend more than half the year in new york they'll talk they'll tax you at the full rate right and | ||
| so i think it's fair to say people are the the estimates right now are that property uh values in florida tennessee and texas are going to skyrocket because these are like big republican strongholds texas and florida are a bit full so some speculate that nashville might start popping off nashville has been popping off it's been popping off but now with new york it's not as far South is Texas or Florida. | ||
| So, for people who don't like that hot of weather, Nashville seems to be the place to be. | ||
| It gets to be chilly in the winter. | ||
| It doesn't snow all that much in Nashville, but it is closer to New York than, you know, Florida is. | ||
| So it's going to be really amazing when Zoran first doesn't do anything because he can't. | ||
| But what he does do just burns New York to the ground. | ||
| And the problem is no one's going to learn a lesson. | ||
| Yila was talking about it. | ||
| I read this article from Coleman Hughes where he said the cure for Marxism is experiencing Marx. | ||
| And I'm like, no, it isn't. | ||
| No. | ||
| Because Maduro is still in power because the Chinese communists are still in power. | ||
| That's not correct. | ||
| You can vote Marxism in, but you have to shoot your way out, right? | ||
| Isn't that what they say about it? | ||
| Yes, but the issue with New York is that you can't even do that. | ||
| No, because they don't let you have guns. | ||
| Well, it's not just that. | ||
| It's that unless the argument is in New York, there's going to be armed rebellion against New York City government, which there's not going to be, people will just leave, and then New York will crumble. | ||
| And that's probably the intention. | ||
| There was a point where Detroit was this massive industry leader. | ||
| I mean, Detroit made Pennsylvania, or I'm sorry, made Pittsburgh. | ||
| Pittsburgh was providing all the steel for Detroit. | ||
| Detroit was like the mecca for economic activity in the U.S. And that was that, you know, that ended because of the, I think a lot of the manufacturers left. | ||
| Yeah, and then there were all those riots. | ||
| Yeah, and the city crumbled. | ||
| That can happen to New York. | ||
| I mean, it'll be different conditions. | ||
| It did happen in New York. | ||
| I mean, like at the end of the 70s and into the 80s, like people thought that New York would never recover. | ||
| And it literally took Rudy Giuliani, you know, going ham on that city. | ||
| I mean, the difference between before he was elected, just like walking around downtown and after, it was so different. | ||
| I mean, it was, it was like, I don't know if you guys remember. | ||
| Well, I mean, I've seen you can look at pictures and there are pictures of New York, you know, New York City where it looks like Lebanon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like it looks like there's an actual war zone going on. | ||
| I mean, yeah, when I was a kid, it was like there, my mom would be like, these are the places you never go. | ||
| And it included walking by the river. | ||
| It included, you know, the entire East Village and Alphabet City. | ||
| Like, don't go there. | ||
| No going to the Lower East Side. | ||
| Like, none of that. | ||
| We'd walk through Times Square to like, because she would take me to shows and stuff. | ||
| We'd walk through Times Square and there would be like tons of hookers and strip clubs and weird stuff going on. | ||
| Like the first time I saw pornography, it was a black and white newspaper that the wind blew and stuck to my leg. | ||
| And Mamdani's talked about, you know, things that will usher in that kind of behavior again. | ||
| He wants to decriminalize prostitution, which, I mean, look, I'm not trafficking, coming back with a vengeance. | ||
| Let's show to this from lips of TikTok. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, I have shocking news. | ||
| Zorhan Mamdani, after winning the New York City mayor's race, has gone full Nazi. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Four individual Nazi salutes, hand to heart and everything. | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| I am shocked. | ||
| I am saddened. | ||
| How could Zoran Nazi salute four times? | ||
| Here we go, guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nazi salute incoming. | |
| New York. | ||
| This power. | ||
| It's yours. | ||
|

|
This city belongs to you. | |
| Thank you. | ||

Nazi salute. | |
| Do it again. | ||
| Do it again. | ||
| Nazi salute. | ||
| Wait, wait, hold on. | ||
| Now, to be fair, Zeek, we get it. | ||
| He's putting his hand in his heart and then waving. | ||
| This next one, he actually has a rigid arm forward. | ||
| I was going to say, the arms come. | ||
| No, now watch this one. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| There it is, the aisle. | ||
| His hand is straight up at an angle. | ||
| In his defense, the pro-Palestinian contingent in the Middle East in World War II was pro-Hitler. | ||
| I'd imagine a lot of them are now as well. | ||
| Yeah, he's just in keeping with his pro-Palestinian routes. | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| I am so surprised by this that Zorhan Mamdani did a, he held Hitler several times. | ||
| That proves it. | ||
| I saw a bunch of posts. | ||
| This daredevil should play race-swapped Mamdani in a movie. | ||
| Race swapped. | ||
| So the gag, of course, is that no, it's not a Nazi salute. | ||
| And Elon didn't do one either. | ||
| But the media claimed he did anyway. | ||
| And the funny thing is, my response to this is, guys. | ||
| Democrats are literally supporting a dude with a totenkopf on his chest. | ||
| He got it removed, to be fair, but for 20 years, rounding up, 18, there is a Democrat guy in Maine. | ||
| Platinum. | ||
| Was it? | ||
| Yeah, Grant Plattner. | ||
| He had a totenkopf on his chest. | ||
| That is the literal symbol for the SS that ran concentration camps. | ||
| It is not a symbol that was like a Nazi synthetic. | ||
| It was a literal Nazi tattoo on his chest. | ||
| And they were like, well, we don't care. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| They never cared that Elon Musk did this. | ||
| They were lying the whole time. | ||
| They don't care if Elon Musk does this. | ||
| I'm sorry, if Zoran Mandani does this. | ||
| They are lying to you. | ||
| Conservatives seem to think there's an argument happening while Democrats think they're at war. | ||
| I mean, the whole exercise by the left, it doesn't matter what anyone says or does. | ||
| The only thing that matters to them is exercising power. | ||
| So if their guy does something, I was saying this last night. | ||
| Like it doesn't matter what their guy does, it's okay. | ||
| And it doesn't matter what our guy does, it's wrong. | ||
| None of the things that they say are ever based in reality. | ||
| It's all based about convenience and can it give them access to power? | ||
| That's all. | ||
| Yeah, and if I could shed a little bit of light on this, when if you go back to 1920s, you had in 1920, you had the Frankfurt School and you had these academics who got together and they wanted to figure out why cultural Marxism didn't take root in the West like it did in Russia. | ||
| And they came up with a strategy. | ||
| They came up with something called CRT, critical race theory. | ||
| They came up with the gender ideology. | ||
| And their idea was that they could extend Karl Marx's ideas of the oppressed versus the oppressors from, I'm sorry, they could extend his idea of the rich versus the poor and make it the oppressed versus the oppressors in as many different areas as they could. | ||
| And those academics who were in Germany in 1920 made their way to New York and ultimately took over the American academic system. | ||
| And that's where these ideas come from, that CRT, the gender ideology. | ||
| So now you have a generation of young people that have been educated in what is hidden as, they don't understand is, but is Marxist ideology. | ||
| So when someone runs for mayor and they say, look at all these filthy rich people, look at these billionaires, they've been oppressing you. | ||
| Well, these kids have been indoctrinated into this their entire lives. | ||
| It's, you know, it might not be under the rich versus the poor, the class struggle, but it's been taught through CRT. It's been taught through gender. | ||
| So by the time they hear that message, it really resonates with these young people and then they buy into it. | ||
| And to your point, right, the argument of, you know, the critical race theory, the point of that is to awaken a critical racial consciousness, right? | ||
| They want to have people that are the oppressed classes or oppressed races, as they would call it. | ||
| They want them to be aware of their class consciousness. | ||
| And Hassan was talking about this in a clip that I saw today, or he was talking about how in the United States, there is no class consciousness or there is very little class consciousness and how that's a terrible thing. | ||
| The left wants to awaken that class consciousness and they want to awaken it in the white population as well. | ||
| And when they awaken in the white population, they use it against you. | ||
| So if you're a white person, you say, well, I want to align based on my white identity. | ||
| They will look at you and they'll say, you're a white supremacist. | ||
| You're a racist. | ||
| You're a terribly horrible person. | ||
| You should feel shame for this. | ||
| But they want. | ||
| We should tax you more. | ||
| Not just tax you. | ||
| They want to kill you because that's what you're saying. | ||
| Sure, but it's part of Mom Donnie's platform to tax the white people. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| But the point that I'm making is the left tries to awaken a class con a racial, critical racial consciousness in everybody, and they will use it depending on who you are. | ||
| If you are of some kind of immigrant or if you're a person that has a brown or a black identity, it's perfectly fine for you to say things like black power. | ||
| That's perfectly fine. | ||
| It's perfectly fine for you to align your politics based on your race. | ||
| But if you're a white person, they use that same class consciousness that they teach in school. | ||
| They teach with CRT. They use that same class consciousness to beat you down and call you names and accuse you of all sorts of terrible things. | ||
| So they use this. | ||
| So to your point about critical race theory, it's like a double-edged sword. | ||
| They will use it in one way to help one group of people, and then they will use it in a different way to hurt another group of people. | ||
| And the other thing about it is, like, the hardest part now is that this has been going on since 2008 and the last economic crashes. | ||
| Those ideas take a lot easier hold when the economy is bad, when people can't afford a home, when people don't feel like they can start families because they don't have the income to do so. | ||
| It's a lot easier for, you know, what's the old saying? | ||
| What was Reagan saying? | ||
| Like, what's the scariest thing someone can say? | ||
| I'm from the government, I'm here to help. | ||
| But that doesn't work as much when they actually need the help. | ||
| And then those ideas have been fed to them since they were in grade school and on upwards. | ||
| So it's a combination of both economic problems, indoctrination at schools, and all of that coming together. | ||
| And we're like, one of the, when you posted about the, when somebody posted about him taxing about the taxing on millionaires as well, right? | ||
| The first post under there said billionaires next. | ||
| So they want revenge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah. | |
| When Bernie became a millionaire, he stopped saying they need to. | ||
| He started saying billionaire. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He always said the millionaires and the billionaires. | ||
| And then when he became a millionaire, he said, just the billionaire. | ||
| It's become his website, too. | ||
| Wasn't he the biggest defender of Big Pharma during Robert Kennedy's. | ||
| He was the largest recipient of contributions from big pharma employees. | ||
| I think that's what it was. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| But it's become an othering of people because people don't understand economics. | ||
| It's like the people who say, like, Jeff Bezos could become Batman tomorrow, and why doesn't he just solve all the world's problems? | ||
| Well, I tweeted at Elon once, why aren't you building an Ironman suit? | ||
| And he responded with building Starship. | ||
| It's like, oh, it's fair. | ||
| Okay, right. | ||
| Yeah, fair point. | ||
| He is doing something. | ||
| But they've like, we talk about this on our show all the time. | ||
| Like, the celebrities are this way too. | ||
| They're millionaires, so they complain about billionaires. | ||
| Billie Eilish says, Billionaires, why do you have so much money? | ||
| And somebody's like, well, you donated $11 million. | ||
| You're worth $50 million. | ||
| Why don't you donate $49 million and live in some apartment downtown? | ||
| Like, you want to solve climate change? | ||
| Why do you have any money at all? | ||
| Give it all away. | ||
| But they've understood that turning it into just the billionaires is a way to other entire class of people. | ||
| The trillionaires. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And did you see? | ||
| You heard what he said last night, Mom Donnie. | ||
| We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about. | ||
| That's a threat. | ||
| Yeah, that is terrifying. | ||
| This is terrifying. | ||
| That means if you jaywalk, government is concerned. | ||
| Government is concerned with everything that goes on in your apartment. | ||
| They're concerned with everything that you do outside. | ||
| They're concerned with everything that your company does. | ||
| You know, it'd be like really funny. | ||
| What if, like, because Zaran's a Muslim? | ||
| What if he just like bans being gay? | ||
| And he's just like, we're going to go into each one of your apartments. | ||
| If you're doing gay stuff, you're under arrest. | ||
| Well, he did. | ||
| He spoke out for the trans community. | ||
| Sure, but he's mayor now. | ||
| But now he's going to throw everybody. | ||
| Well, he's not mayor yet. | ||
| He's mayor. | ||
| Isn't he asking for money right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| He sure is asking for donations. | ||
| He said, remember when I told you to stop donating money? | ||
| Well, you can start donating it again. | ||
| That's what he said today. | ||
| Man. | ||
| He wants money for the transition team. | ||
| I feel like a song. | ||
| Well, he likes to take photos with Alex Soros. | ||
| I work so hard every day. | ||
| And did all I have to do is just promise free stuff to people that I could never give them. | ||
| And if you go to Timcast.com and become a member, and I'll give you all jet packs. | ||
| Every single one of you. | ||
| That's clearly a joke and not legally binding. | ||
| And only for new members, not for existing members. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I want to know why jetpacks aren't like a real thing that we can use. | ||
| Because sometimes you fall, and when you do, you will die. | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| But they have jetpacks. | ||
| They've had jet packs forever last year. | ||
| It's because the amount of propellant that you need to actually keep your body in the air. | ||
| No, they got half-hour flight time right now. | ||
| It's just the jetpacks that they're working on are for quick response. | ||
| But when you crash a car, sometimes it's bad. | ||
| But sometimes Defender Bender, and you're like, oh, my Neckerts. | ||
| When you crash your jetpack, you're dead every time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's usually true with motorcycles, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| It's true. | ||
| You should have to get the same license for your motorcycle should apply to a jetpack. | ||
| You should be allowed to have one. | ||
| I don't get a jetpack. | ||
| Go to Timcast.com and click join us. | ||
| Give me $10 a month, and I'll make the world a better place. | ||
| What else can I promise people that's not legally binding? | ||
| I'll give you happiness. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| It'll be the best $10 you've ever spent. | ||
| I guarantee it. | ||
| He'll solve your bad breath problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, that's a specific claim. | |
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Yeah, if I say things like, you'll be happy, it's like, what does that mean? | ||
| You'll like your bad breath problem. | ||
| You'll have a good time. | ||
| Libby will be friends with you. | ||
| Now you're promising other people services. | ||
| Yeah, but you don't have to do anything to be friends with somebody. | ||
| Everyone's like, well, I want to be friends with Libya. | ||
| Let me be a fine friend, really. | ||
| Take their phone call. | ||
| It's kind of wild that fraud doesn't apply to politics. | ||
| You know, should it? | ||
| If a politician promises something that literally is not within their power as the office they're running for, shouldn't we just call that fraud? | ||
| Why do we allow that? | ||
| Honest question. | ||
| I think that's a very good question. | ||
| And I think sometimes people do call it fraud. | ||
| And then, you know, they get, I don't know, Nancy Pelosi's stock tips and they shut up about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like the way I see it is: if someone's running for office to be mayor and they say, as mayor, my powers include, you know, signing legislation, control of the police department, I will advocate for free buses to the city council and I will work with the police on making their budget more efficient and I will request of the city council more money. | ||
| It's like, okay, that'll make sense. | ||
| But when they come out and they're like, I have no authority to do any of this, but I'm going to do it anyway. | ||
| Vote for me. | ||
| They're lying. | ||
| I mean, the government for money. | ||
| The federal government does that all the time. | ||
| The federal government has. | ||
| I get it, but Zoron's asking for donations while lying to people to get them. | ||
| That's fraud. | ||
| Like, here's the point. | ||
| If I come out and said, guys, become members at Timcast.com, and when you do, I'll give you all free airfare. | ||
| Like, that's it. | ||
| You can't promise that. | ||
| Yeah, well, Mom Donnie is promising that he needs money to put together a transition team. | ||
| He says, all of you. | ||
| To do things he can't do. | ||
| No, to do things that he can't do, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They should charge him with fraud. | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| I mean, they never should have let him. | ||
| I mean, there's no reason that he should have let it top of the Democratic Party take it. | ||
| And I think that the way he got there is through ranked choice voting, which is an abomination of a way to vote. | ||
| There should never be ranked choice voting. | ||
| It's a terrible idea. | ||
| I think that we should. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fraud is not free speech. | ||
| And if someone's running for Congress and they say, in Congress, I will do these things. | ||
| It's like, well, typically people for Congress, they talk about things they can do. | ||
| Like, I will pass a bill that does this. | ||
| Well, that is within the purview of a member of Congress, so it's unlikely to get done. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| But when someone says, vote for me to be mayor and I'll do things that are impossible for the mayor to do, he should, that's fraud. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fraud. | |
| That's how you say it in German. | ||
| That's the German pronunciation. | ||
| Fraud. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story, listen. | ||
| From Mediaite. | ||
| Trump vows to withhold SNAP benefits until the government is reopened. | ||
| Looks like November is going to be reduced benefits. | ||
| That's what they announced. | ||
| But Trump doesn't want to give any more until they reopen government. | ||
| I actually think the call sheet prediction for 45 days is probably wrong. | ||
| To be fair, maybe I should, you know, I always talk about how maybe I should buy stock because we often have access to knowledge and stuff before people because we're reading the news all the time. | ||
| But I've heard from people in government it's going to be close till Christmas. | ||
| The expectation among staff is that they're going to be furloughed till Christmas. | ||
| So one more month of no benefits. | ||
| But Democrats, now that they've extracted all of the value they can out of this, they'll probably just come out, I'd imagine, right? | ||
| And say, okay, sure, fine. | ||
| Because what people need to understand about the government shutdown, it is the Biden continuing resolution. | ||
| Republicans said we agree to Biden's funding. | ||
| And the Democrats said, nah. | ||
| And Republicans are like, what do you mean? | ||
| This is just Biden's administration. | ||
| This is his funding proposal. | ||
| We're agreeing with it. | ||
| And they're like, we want more. | ||
| Yeah, they want to extend the tax subsidies for the Obamacare and illegal immigrants that they first put into place at the American Rescue Plan Act and then extended with the Inflation Reduction Act, which, as they said, was the biggest climate change legislation in history. | ||
| It was the Green New Deal. | ||
| That's all it was. | ||
| That's all it was. | ||
| Isn't this whole thing a great opportunity for the churches? | ||
| That right now, if you have all these people that have been relying on SNAP for food, that the churches could position themselves to get people to show up. | ||
| And I do wish right-wing America would think more in these terms. | ||
| Well, some of these things might be hard to pull off. | ||
| Every one of these things that happened, the government shutdown, the SNAP benefits being taken away temporarily, are massive opportunities to win at the grassroots level. | ||
| And ultimately, the only way to win politically is to be strong enough at the grassroots level that you force the political class to respect you because ultimately they only respond to money, power, and influence. | ||
| And you have to have that to get them to do what you want them to do. | ||
| Good. | ||
| So do you think that, so for the churches right now, so I have seen videos of churches getting more people coming through for these types of things. | ||
| Do you think there will be growth there? | ||
| I think there's an opportunity for it. | ||
| And I have a megaphone right now. | ||
| And I hope that pastors that are listening to and churches that are listening right now see this for the opportunity it is because I think a lot of people have been trained to think that they can't do what seem to be incredible things, but you look what you guys have built here. | ||
| I mean, this is incredible, honestly. | ||
| And I've met a lot of people that have done really amazing things. | ||
| I've done some pretty cool things. | ||
| And with each one of everything that happens, it's a new opportunity. | ||
| And if we could train people to see those opportunities, we can make some inroads at the grassroots level. | ||
| And ultimately, that's how you win. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think in theory, what you're talking about is great. | ||
| I just don't know that the, I don't know that there's enough churches that are going to be, that are, that are kind of on the ball enough to be like, okay, let's jump on this opportunity. | ||
| But you have to be set up for that. | ||
| And there's a lot of churches that are set up for that. | ||
| And I think that there's a lot of churches that are engaged in helping in their community. | ||
| Do you think that they have the capacity to fill the gap that the government has left? | ||
| I don't know, because that's my point. | ||
| I mean, filling the gap the government has left. | ||
| That's like $41 billion. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| It's like $9 billion a month in the church isn't trying to solve all the government's problems. | ||
| They're trying to help, you know, but a lot of churches are set up with food banks and things. | ||
| But even with just announcing a food drive when people suddenly don't have access to the food they had access to, you get people to show up that day. | ||
| And when they show up that day, you could have conversations with them and you could let them know what you do and let them know that, hey, we'll be doing this again next weekend. | ||
| And if you show up and we'll feed you and we'll talk to you about our beliefs and you'll find out that the people that you heard are these monsters are actually these really kind people. | ||
| And then we could talk to you about why we have the views that we have. | ||
| And I know that when you were in the school system, these views were framed as being monstrous, right? | ||
| For example, feminism in the school system, they teach these kids that they don't want you to have abortions because there's a patriarchy, a patriarchy, and misogyny. | ||
| And that's where you get all these celebrations from someone like Charlie Kirk getting shot because the young people have been taught that people that hold these ideologies are filled with hate. | ||
| And by getting in front of people and talking to them face to face and helping them in their time of need, you could start to swing people that you think you wouldn't be able to swing in your direction, but you'd be amazed what those face-to-face interactions could do. | ||
| And if I could add one more thing, before the nanny state took over, before the government came in and said, we'll be daddy, when a woman gave birth out of wedlock, which was rarer, it was the churches and community groups that stepped in and took care of people. | ||
| And if we ultimately want to get off this tax system, we have to start building the infrastructure that we could point to and show people and say, listen, if you abandon this nanny state, we have a safety blanket here for you. | ||
| And then we can lower the taxes. | ||
| Then we could create opportunity. | ||
| And I can show you hope. | ||
| And I know you can because I've showed a lot of people hope. | ||
| And then you can take that hope and you can build a better life for you and your family. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| I mean, I think that's a great idea. | ||
| One of the problems that we have is that church attendance has been in such decline. | ||
| Religion has been under attack. | ||
| Specifically, Christianity has been under attack. | ||
| And you have the Democrats have rather successfully put together a plan where the government will partner with an individual throughout their entire life. | ||
| So it is important, I think, to make sure that the churches are robust and that these places of faith are strong. | ||
| And I certainly applaud that. | ||
| And I hope that, you know, I hope that the religious community is taking heed of that. | ||
| I'm not sure how we combat the Democrat messaging that has ruined God, has replaced the soul with gender and has replaced family with government. | ||
| Yeah, I think you're right to the point where it's like getting those face-to-face interactions are key in a lot of ways. | ||
| It's so much easier to reach a person when you talk to them face-to-face. | ||
| Like when you're having those, you could have all the positive interactions with somebody online that won't speak to most people the same way that having somebody appear, like show to themselves to be a completely different human being than what they've been told they would be their whole lives by the school system, what that could do for those people. | ||
| Just a heads up, I just got a warning for a severe thunderstorm. | ||
| If the power goes out, we have generators, but maybe the show just disappears. | ||
| Maybe it just happened. | ||
| Maybe nothing happened. | ||
| Maybe we play some video games. | ||
| Maybe the thunderstorm actually just jumps over us. | ||
| I would be stuck here for a while. | ||
| Wow, it's only going to be like 15, 20 minutes. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| You know, it's just passing through. | ||
| But we have backup power generators. | ||
| It entertained me somehow. | ||
| But I figure I just, my phone just went off and I was like, oh boy, look at that. | ||
| So, you know, who knows? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| In the meantime, and all welfare benefits and all subsidies and abolish government, period. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I'm, well, I mean, I love that. | ||
| I don't understand exactly what the point of like withholding SNAP benefits when the government shut down and they're not giving them out anyways. | ||
| What I don't get is why you would some of these people you've seen like the videos. | ||
| There's now EBT of TikTok. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have you guys seen it? | |
| Which is great. | ||
| What was funny is Cerno posted, Cernovich, Mike Cernovich posted, someone should do snap benefits of TikTok. | ||
| And then like two days later, there it was, you know. | ||
| But the EBT of TikTok, you'll see people being like, I've been on these benefits for 30 years. | ||
| I've, you know, this is how I feed my six kids. | ||
| I don't have a job because I have six kids. | ||
| And I'm thinking like, if you have put your ability to be sustained in the hands of government, don't be surprised when the government starves you. | ||
| Like, why are you giving someone else control over whether you eat or not? | ||
| That is insane. | ||
| Well, if they riot, maybe they actually haven't given control to anyone. | ||
| Maybe they actually are the ones that have the right to be. | ||
| You have enough people. | ||
| You have, I mean, it's in my, it's like when, you know, if you owe the bank $100,000, that's your problem. | ||
| If you owe the bank $1 billion, that's the bank's problem. | ||
| It's kind of the same thing. | ||
| Like, if you have one person that the government is paying for their SNAP benefits and you turn it off, that's that person's problem. | ||
| When you have 40 million people and you turn off the SNAP benefits, that's the government's problem. | ||
| $9 billion a month. | ||
| I wasn't, I mean, I think that I probably, I doubt I was the only person who was surprised that it was a lot of fun. | ||
| $9 billion? | ||
| Yeah, $9 billion a month. | ||
| I was surprised that it was that much, that it's that many people who are collecting these benefits and don't have jobs, you know, and don't work. | ||
| I mean, everyone I've known who's been on food assistance, it's always been either they're between jobs or like their job just isn't enough and they're looking for more work or something like that. | ||
| But they're always hustling. | ||
| You know, they're always like trying to better their lives and grateful that there's assistance temporarily available. | ||
| It's not like I've never considered it as something that's like a lifestyle choice where you're just going to be subservient to the government in that way for your entire life. | ||
| It was like, what, 12% of Americans are on SNAP benefits? | ||
| It's like 40 million or something like that. | ||
| So that's a lot. | ||
| 40 million people, yeah. | ||
| Back in 2020, when COVID was going on, I saw that they tried to leverage debt and food over people. | ||
| And people. | ||
| People with the student loans and stuff. | ||
| Well, people had to pay their mortgages. | ||
| So when you tell someone that their job is unessential and they have a mortgage and they could lose their home, well, to them, that's very essential. | ||
| And then people had to go to the grocery store to get food. | ||
| So they said that if you want to come to this grocery store, you have to wear a mask. | ||
| And my response to that was I sold my home on Long Island where my family was from. | ||
| And I moved my family, my children across the country, my wife, my children. | ||
| And we moved into a forest and we started a homestead and we did it all with no debt. | ||
| And we started growing our own food. | ||
| I've made an orchard since then. | ||
| I have a big garden. | ||
| You have an orchard? | ||
| Yeah, built it myself. | ||
| And the reason I did that is I saw that the government tries to or can leverage control over you through food dependence and through debt. | ||
| So the response was, let's not have debt and let's make sure we're not dependent on them for food. | ||
| And this could be done on a much larger level, but it has to be done through culture. | ||
| And everyone in America has front yards. | ||
| Well, instead of front yards with grass, let's normalize front yards with gardens. | ||
| And through every step of the way, like the victory garden. | ||
| And through every step of the way, when you do these things, you grow more powerful. | ||
| And as you become less dependent, you become more independent. | ||
| And as you become more independent, they have to respect what you say more and your vote and your voice starts to mean more. | ||
| And all of these things can be done. | ||
| People just need a little shift in how they view the world. | ||
| Well, that type of like, what's like the idea of the rugged American individualism is kind of lost these days. | ||
| You should see my students. | ||
| I mean, I understand what you're saying. | ||
| And I do think that Brett's got a point. | ||
| Like the idea of rugged individualism, the idea that people can go out and do, you know, do things, that is becoming further and further, you know, or becoming more and more rare. | ||
| People look to government. | ||
| People look to someone else to provide for them, whether that be, you know, having the mindset of having a job or the mindset of looking to government for some kind of support or whatever. | ||
| It takes a special kind of person to say, I'm going to go out and do something. | ||
| It's not a lot of people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| That's not a lot of people. | ||
| No, it's not a lot. | ||
| It's not a huge percent of the population. | ||
| No, no, it's not at all. | ||
| And it takes, like I said earlier, it takes a type of personality to do that. | ||
| And if you don't have a society that fosters those people and tries to encourage them, which I don't think we do anymore, then it becomes even more infrequent and even more rare. | ||
| And I would love to see the people that do go out and put the effort into do that. | ||
| I would love to see them succeed and become millionaires or billionaires and what have you. | ||
| But I think without that kind of mindset being held in high esteem, we're going to continue to have fewer and fewer people that will actually go out there and try to be entrepreneurs. | ||
| There are people that believe that that's becoming more common in Gen Z as like, first of all, the main, like your typical job economy is gone. | ||
| It's gig economy. | ||
| Kids want to be influencers and they want to go and create online, which is in line with that idea, maybe not in the same realm of like building your own orchard, but being your own boss, creating your own content, being the person who gets yourself, you know, ad reads and paychecks and things like that and not relying on a boss, but that's out of a sense of necessity because a job isn't going to provide for them the way that they feel like they can if they're going out and betting on themselves. | ||
| So there is the possibility that down the line, perhaps that becomes more common, just not in a more traditional sense. | ||
| Well, the other thing is that people haven't been having children, enough children for generations. | ||
| And although we can't reach everyone, for example, you have Tim Cast and you have the people that are watching right now. | ||
| Well, these are good people. | ||
| These are smart people. | ||
| These are awake people. | ||
| And to convince those people that you can reject the materialistic life, because if you ever go to a nursing home, I've never been to a nursing home, spoken to an old person. | ||
| They told me about how nice their bag was or how nice their car was. | ||
| They talk about their children. | ||
| They talk about their grandchildren. | ||
| And by showing people that and convincing them to have more kids themselves and to raise their kids right, you could actually start to have this culture that brews from the grassroots level of young people who start to see their power. | ||
| And with that, you get lots of people who don't feel dependent on the system. | ||
| And that culture starts to grow. | ||
| It seeds. | ||
| And we have the ability to do that. | ||
| And I think we will. | ||
| Let's jump to the story from the Daily Mail. | ||
| CBS News is spending $10,000 a day on bodyguards for anti-woke new editor-in-chief, Barry Weiss. | ||
| I want to show you this tweet that is getting a lot of attention. | ||
| I saw this. | ||
| It's from Sean Padreg McCarthy, who says, Zorhan Mamdani, I'm thinking it's time to review those concealed carry permits for Barry Weiss's security. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Libby, what does that mean? | ||
| It means people are evil, Tim. | ||
| Libby, what is he implying? | ||
| I think he's implying that perhaps Barry Weiss, Zoran Mom Donnie, would be happy if she was just walking around without any bodyguards at all. | ||
| Why would that matter to these people? | ||
| Why would they not want Barry Weiss to have bodyguards? | ||
| Maybe they're just really big fans of Luigi Mangioni. | ||
| No, he couldn't be implying that he wants to facilitate Barry Weiss's murder, is he? | ||
| He might be. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| I can't believe this is happening in America. | ||
|

|
That's a little bit calling for political violence. | |
| Are you kidding? | ||
| Unheard of. | ||
| I thought we were just having a pleasant argument with Democrats this whole time. | ||
| When that bullet whizzed past Trump's head and struck his ear, I thought that was just harsh negotiations. | ||
| And it got a little harsher in September 10th. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Where are we going to lower the temperature? | ||
| I heard something about lowering the temperature. | ||
| There will be no lower temperatures. | ||
| I had a security assessment recently that it's gotten worse. | ||
| And the recommendation was to increase our already massive security details because of how insane things are getting. | ||
| This guy should be criminally charged for this. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I don't care about your argument of, but it's innuendo. | ||
| The intention is clear. | ||
| Intent is everything. | ||
| So if the argument is you can't make a clear and imminent threat, saying Barry Weiss should have her security's weapons pulled is a death threat. | ||
| Okay, if we're going to play this game where we argue, no, no, it's innuendos, it's free speech. | ||
| Okay, I hope y'all are prepared for what comes next because we've seen it happen before and it'll happen again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is already, it's what's already happened. | |
| I mean, the thing is, the socialism is not the future of the Democratic Party. | ||
| It's the present of the party right now. | ||
| It's right now. | ||
| That's what's going on. | ||
| Their interest in withholding guns and preventing people from having guns, we know that that's what's going on. | ||
| We're seeing that, right? | ||
| Didn't they just they even passed something in Maine about that, right? | ||
| And you had Jay Jones in Virginia talking. | ||
| Red flag law in Maine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You had Jay Jones in Virginia saying that he hoped a man got shot so that he would reconsider so that that man would reconsider gun laws. | ||
| That's absolutely insane. | ||
| Jay Jones. | ||
| Jay Jones said he hoped his rival's children would die in their wife's arms after being shot so that they would agree with gun control. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's what I was trying to say. | ||
| You said it better than I did. | ||
| Well, because it wasn't that a man would get shot. | ||
| It was that the children would be murdered. | ||
| Well, he wanted to hold their guy. | ||
| It was both. | ||
| He wanted to kill the guy and then have the mom, his wife watched the children die. | ||
| It was both. | ||
| The circumstance was... | ||
| He wanted to leave her a mother... | ||
| In any circumstance, he would put two bullets in the head of the Republican. | ||
| He wants the wife to hold her dying children after they were shot so that she agrees with gun control. | ||
| Did you hear? | ||
| There was a crazy revelation after that on a, I think it was on Tucker's show, but someone who served with Gilbert, who had been the speaker, and Jones, said that Gilbert's kids were running around in the Capitol all the time and were hanging out. | ||
| So Jones knew the kids who he was saying he wanted to see murdered in their mother's arms. | ||
| $10,000 per day for Barry Weiss's security to run. | ||
| Do you think it's necessary? | ||
| You think she needs it? | ||
| I think that's cheap. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think it's very, very cheap. | ||
| Having to deal with similar things, now CBS News can spend $10,000 a day. | ||
| I'm not convinced enough. | ||
| And it's not a joke. | ||
| David Ellison can afford it. | ||
| He should get her more. | ||
| He should. | ||
| $10,000 a day is not enough. | ||
| I don't want to say too much about security stuff because you don't want to give away, but they're looking at like, what is it, six guys, high-skill, trained, elite? | ||
| Cars, everything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's people posting online that they want the weight of government to assist to facilitate the murder of Barry Weiss. | ||
| And then Republicans make the opposite argument, which is always like, whenever they want to take away your guns, you're saying, but you're protected by guns. | ||
| And that's the Republicans' point of saying we need to empower the citizens by giving them the right to carry a firearm. | ||
| Whereas when they talk about it on the left, they want to talk about disarming people so that people can be murdered. | ||
| It really pisses me off how the left is allowed to carry the narrative. | ||
| And what I mean by that is anytime there's a shooting. | ||
| Literally every time the left-wing politicians and the media will come out and call for further gun control. | ||
| And I don't know why the right wing doesn't come out at the same time and call for arming more people. | ||
| Because the bottom line is you could talk all the bull you want, but you would feel more comfortable if your child was at a school in which the teachers were armed, in which there were armed security than if they were at a school in which it was a gun-free zone. | ||
| And it's the most obvious argument in the world. | ||
| And anyone who says they'd rather have their child at a school that's a gun-free zone is absolutely full of it. | ||
| And the truth is that the truth will resonate more if you have the courage to get it out there. | ||
| And I don't know why the right wing basically cucks every time one of these incidents happens. | ||
| There was a, my brother had an idea for a video game that was, and then my brother had an idea for a video game. | ||
| And then I helped refine the idea. | ||
| The idea was a school shooter video game. | ||
| And the point was to beat, it was to make a political point. | ||
| And I was like, I don't think people are going to understand the point you're making if you're just, it's a school shooting. | ||
| And I said, the game that I wanted to make was you play a middle-aged mother, maybe not middle-aged, maybe like 38, and you've got like a 10-year-old son. | ||
| And the game starts, I think we actually, we should do this. | ||
| We should totally do this. | ||
| The game starts with you pulling up to a school and the little boy has got his backpack and the mom's like pops the door open and she says, okay, well, you know, I'll be here at 2.30 to pick you up. | ||
| You got your lunch. | ||
| And he's like, yeah, I got my lunch, mom. | ||
| And then he runs in. | ||
| And then he runs into the school. | ||
| The doors close. | ||
| And then the character picks up her phone and she pulls up, you know, Google Maps, starts typing in an address. | ||
| When all of a sudden you hear pop, pop, pop, and screams. | ||
| The door bursts open and people run out screaming and one person's limping and bleeding. | ||
| And then the main, the character you play goes, oh, God, Billy. | ||
| And then she goes to reach for the glove compartment and it freezes and goes, choose your difficulty. | ||
| And then you can select gun-free zone and Second Amendment rights. | ||
| And when you choose gun-free zone, she pops them in the glove box and there's nothing there. | ||
| And then she goes, oh. | ||
| And then she gets out and the fists come up and you got to run to the school to save your kid with your fists. | ||
| I thought you were going to say Billy was the one who was the shooter. | ||
| He took the gun out of the glove box. | ||
| Now, if you choose Second Amendment rights, she pops it open, grabs her Glock, and then you go in and stop the school shooter. | ||
| And it's like meant to be a very obvious political point of, regardless of whether or not you banned guns, the shooter is there. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, when my kid was in school in Brooklyn, there were NYPD stationed at the school. | ||
| And it was never a question of whether or not there'd be NYPD stationed at the school. | ||
| Like, obviously, they would be there. | ||
| And when I had the opportunity after moving to vote on a ballot measure of whether or not there would be armed cops at the school, I was like, yeah. | ||
| This is what diversity looks like. | ||
| Put armed cops at the school. | ||
| But to your point about the rights messaging on guns, I think a big part of it goes back to what you were talking about before, which is self-sufficiency, which is that a lot of people, they would rather imagine a world that's butterflies and rainbows where guns don't exist rather than the world we actually live in, which is a fundamental difference between the left and the right, which is that the left is idealistic to a fault to the point of utopian beliefs. | ||
| And the right has to more often than not operate within the world that we actually live in and be more pragmatic. | ||
| I want to say something on the story. | ||
| I think Barry Weiss may be one of the most important people in the country right now. | ||
| The reason is when Zara Mandani did that Nazi salute after his rally, nobody cares. | ||
| And regular normies in Virginia who voted for Jay Jones, it's because they don't know that he wants to murder children. | ||
| They don't pay attention. | ||
| They're clueless. | ||
| I know because I talk to these people. | ||
| We live in this area. | ||
| And I routinely meet people and have interesting conversations at the old poker table. | ||
| They don't know this stuff. | ||
| And it's fascinating when I talk to them. | ||
| Now, Barry Weiss, as the head of CBS News, likely is going to be covering a lot of these issues. | ||
| CBS will now have a shift in their culture. | ||
| She's already fired the race and culture unit. | ||
| If CBS News, as one of the establishment news sources, actually takes the approach of being critical of the weird woke left stuff, this could actually shift the perception of the normies and be beneficial for the fabric of this country. | ||
| Now, I'm not saying Barry Weiss's opinions are all perfect. | ||
| She's got some notoriously bad takes, like that clip from Joe Rogan, also several years ago, but she's a million times better than the establishment media. | ||
| This is why she has $10,000 a day security, and this is why woke people want her murdered because she breaks the narrative. | ||
| They also handled the Trump interview substantially better on 60 Minutes. | ||
| They did the edited version. | ||
| They posted that. | ||
| They posted the full video. | ||
| They posted the entire transcript, you know, and they made sure all of it was publicized. | ||
| Well, one of the things that's going on right now, CBS is Paramount Skydance, which is David Ellison, and Larry Ellison has a good relationship with Donald Trump. | ||
| So one step further is like right now, David Ellison is aggressively looking to buy Warner Brothers, which is CNN. And let's go. | ||
| And there's already, like, CNN already has like a rocky relationship because, you know, much like everybody has their boogeyman in politics. | ||
| It's Trump. | ||
| In media and like in pop culture, it's becoming increasingly David Zazlev and David Ellison. | ||
| And what would happen if David Ellison was to be able to make that sale go through? | ||
| Because the whole point was that he wants to buy it because they have a friendly relationship with the Trump administration. | ||
| He would be able to theoretically make some type of merger happen with government. | ||
| You know, the government would approve it more readily than they would perhaps another buyer. | ||
| And then he has control of CNN too. | ||
| I don't like that idea, but I don't want more people. | ||
| Well, if it crushes the woke corporate media apparatus, even if Barry Weiss is a tepid liberal, it is better than what we are getting with the lie machine. | ||
| So I'll take it. | ||
| I want to grab one more story that I just saw in the New York Post earlier. | ||
| Deadbeat Arizona dad Christopher Schultz dies by suicide after leaving two-year-old daughter to die in a hot car while he watched porn. | ||
| This is a terrifyingly sad story. | ||
| And he was going to go to prison. | ||
| The story is this. | ||
| He admitted to leaving his two-year-old daughter to die in a sweltering car while he watched porn. | ||
| He was 38. | ||
| He was found dead in a Phoenix, in his Phoenix home just after 5 a.m. | ||
| Wednesday. | ||
| Police told the Post the same day he was due to report to prison ahead of his sentencing, where he faced 30 years behind bars. | ||
| Instead of coming in to take account for what has occurred here, we have been informed and we have confirmed that the father took his own life last night. | ||
| Confusion apparently ensued after he failed to appear for the hearing where he'd been directed to hand himself over to police. | ||
| The despicable dad, who had a known habit of leaving his kids in the car, pleaded guilty in October to second-degree murder and was expected to be officially sentenced to between 20 and 30 years this month. | ||
| His death comes more than a year after his young daughter Parker was found dead in the driveway of their Murano home outside Tucson on a scorching July afternoon in 2024. | ||
| In Tucson. | ||
| When the temperature soared to 109 degrees Fahrenheit, he claimed to have left the toddler in the car around 12:30 p.m. for 30 minutes with the air conditioning on because he didn't want to wake her up from a nap. | ||
| But court records later revealed he left the little girl in the car for over three hours and even admitted knowing the car would shut off automatically within a half an hour. | ||
| He was inside watching porn, playing video games and drinking beer while his daughter roasted to death. | ||
| His older kid from a previous marriage told investigators he would leave them in the car when they were kids, while his younger daughters with Parker's mother, Erica, reported their dad regularly left all three of them strapped in the car when he went inside. | ||
| Parker's roasting body was found by her anesthesiologist mother came home around 4 p.m. with body cam footage from responding police showing Schultz break into panic while insisting he'd left her outside for no more than 30 to 45 minutes. | ||
| She's very hot right now. | ||
| We're going to do everything we can, they said. | ||
| He got mad saying, so now I'm being treated like a murderer in the body camera footage. | ||
| And despite insisting he'd never done anything like this before, his own text with his wife quickly said otherwise. | ||
| Quote, I told you to stop leaving them in the car. | ||
| The mother texted him after the death. | ||
| How many times have I told you, babe, I'm sorry, babe, our family, how could I do this? | ||
| I killed our baby. | ||
| This can't be real. | ||
| Now, there's a lot I want to say about the story, and the reason I wanted to get into it is for the most important part of this. | ||
| Let me start by saying, what a horrifyingly tragic story. | ||
| The guy was clearly neglectful, should not have left his daughter in that car. | ||
| And for that, he was charged with second-degree murder, pleaded guilty, and was facing 30 years in prison. | ||
| In the meantime, there are people on the East Coast and places like North Carolina who have been arrested for violent crimes, aggravated assault with deadly weapons, who have been released time and time again and are allowed to murder. | ||
| So I see this story and I am mad at this guy for being a retard and letting his daughter die. | ||
| And he was going to go to prison for 30 years and he killed himself. | ||
| Yet these people in major cities like in New York or the story everyone knows with Arena Zarutska, these recurring violent criminals in major cities are let out slap on the wrist over and over again. | ||
| There is something wrong with our justice system. | ||
| Now, this guy deserved prison. | ||
| Sure, I don't believe he deserved 30 years, even though I think it is insane that he left his daughter in the car while he watched porn and played video games. | ||
| There are people who deserve more than 30 years who are getting slaps on the wrist. | ||
| So innocent people die every day because our justice system in these Democrat cities let criminals go. | ||
| And I don't know how you fix it. | ||
| I mean, the fact that the justice system is broken is directly related to the actual, like, your DAs and your judges. | ||
| And so those people need to be, you need to, you know, have DAs get fired or have new DAs elected. | ||
| And you need to have judges, you know, impeached, get them off the bench. | ||
| That's the only thing that's going to fix that. | ||
| This guy, I mean, I don't want to say anything because I'm afraid that I might violate TOS. So this guy deserves punishment for what he did. | ||
| But there's an important distinction between a neglectful retard and intentional violent criminals in Chicago, New York, in D.C., who they keep releasing over and over and over again. | ||
| Now, by all means, the man deserved punishment, and that's not for me to decide, but he was going to get it. | ||
| Why, in this case, is it swift and easy justice? | ||
| It's unfortunate and sad that he killed himself. | ||
| He still had kids. | ||
| He still had responsibilities, especially. | ||
| But why are these career criminals always just released? | ||
| Well, it's called restorative justice. | ||
| That's the name for the policy, right? | ||
| So if these people have broken the law, it's not actually their fault. | ||
| It's the conditions that they've existed in. | ||
| Socioeconomic factors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah, I mean, socioeconomic factors, but the fact that people cite that stuff. | |
| Judges cite that stuff when they let these people out. | ||
| Yeah, they're not. | ||
| Say, like, oh, you had a tough time, so maybe we should let you out. | ||
| And then they kill. | ||
| Well, that's the and the reason is because the left doesn't believe that people have agency. | ||
| They believe that people are products. | ||
| They believe that people are blank slates from the beginning and that they're a product of their environment. | ||
| They believe if they, according to the left, it doesn't matter who Hitler was. | ||
| Anyone that was put in Hitler's position and lived Hitler's life would have become Hitler. | ||
| And I totally disagree with that. | ||
| They also, I mean, I disagree too, but they also have a situation where they think that government is God, right? | ||
| I mean, we remember what Tim Kaine said like a month or so ago. | ||
| Tim Kaine was saying that rights come from the government, not from God. | ||
| So these judges that release repeat offenders, people who have been arrested, what, like 40 times, they have literally 40 mugshots that can be posted that you can see. | ||
| The judges who release these people think they are meant to be the benevolent God and that is their job to give forgiveness and grace and not punishment. | ||
| So they don't follow the law. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, I mean, that being said, like this guy, I'm not sure that he deserved 20 or 30 years in prison, but I don't know how he would live with himself for another five minutes. | ||
| That's why he didn't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look at how many times. | ||
| And that's why I look at this and I'm like, the guy was how do you face yourself? | ||
| The issue is that he didn't, in my view, is he didn't intend to murder his daughter. | ||
| No, he's just a total clown of a man who was driven by his own desires and very clearly led his family directly into ruin because he was so obsessed with what he wanted to do and so obsessed with what he thought was important to get himself off that he didn't care who he led down the garden path right into hell and so the question is what is the purpose of sentencing him to 30 years oh i don't know is he going to kill again um i don't i mean he might leave other kids in the car he left them all in the car | ||
| plenty of times it turns out so so the answer is there should be some penalty because probably shouldn't be alone with the kids he should have restriction to these other kids or something that effect and i think prison is is appropriate my problem is by all means if you think 30 is appropriate you're allowed to my problem is this guy his his risk of killing again based on these circumstances is relatively low yeah and they can easily throw him away all these other guys in all these other cities it's like the the the likelihood there what was the story recently where | ||
| the guy said it was the woman who killed that kid she stabbed the three year old she said if you let me out i'll kill and they're like okay free to go and then she went and murdered a child yes and yeah and then she like laughed in court she was like cool with it isn't there something too it's like um the majority of crimes are committed by the same handful of offenders well yeah i mean we talk about this when it comes to the you know cleaning up streets like the police in your in a in a city they know the people that are going to be a problem they know the offenders that keep repeating they they | ||
| know who are the basically the shitbags right they know the guys that are causing the problems and if you wrap up a couple thousand people you basically solve Solve your crime problem because it's not like people just, it's not like a lot of people get into an economic bind and they're like, well, time to turn to a life of crime. | ||
| If you're, if you're, you know, you have a predisposition towards criminal activity, you don't respect the law. | ||
| These, and again, this goes back to the idea that, or the fact that I don't believe in the blank slate idea, if you have a predisposition to do things that are outside the law, you're going to continue to do those whether or not you're caught for them or not. | ||
| I mean, look at look at Carlos Brown, right? | ||
| The guy that killed Iriana, Iriana Zarstruska, like he'd been arrested like 14 times or something like that. | ||
| He was criminally insane, but he was continuously let go because the left doesn't believe that people actually have agency. | ||
| They believe that they're products or they're their society. | ||
| So then it's not their fault. | ||
| Stuff is happening in the UK too, like that guy who committed the Southport murders and killed those girls. | ||
| What is it, like Alex Rudapakana or something like that? | ||
| I don't remember it. | ||
| But it turns out he had been reported by his teachers for being like totally bizarre and anti-social and violent. | ||
| His family thought that he was going to kill their dad. | ||
| You know, I mean, repeatedly, he had come into contact with people who thought that he was going to be a problem, and then he murdered a bunch of little girls. | ||
| Throughout history, when larger countries would conquer smaller countries, or when Marxists would take power, they would put a small minority group into a position of power, and then they would allow certain minority groups to commit crimes against the majority group in the country. | ||
| And this was intentional. | ||
| It was a form of anarcho-tyranny. | ||
| And what it does is it allows the host population to be terrorized and live in fear and to feel defenseless as if there's nothing they could do to fight back. | ||
| So when you have Daniel Penny on a train in New York City and there's a crazy madman who is threatening children and threatening women, and Daniel Penny steps up and, I mean, statues should be built for the guy, right? | ||
| What he did was heroic. | ||
| He defended those women and children on a train. | ||
| And what did he get? | ||
| Prosecuted. | ||
| And what that tells the next guy is that if something's going on in a train and you try to defend the innocence, you will be prosecuted. | ||
| And I think what we're seeing in America, especially from the left, is this type of anarcho-tyranny, which is designed to turn the host population of the United States of America into a modern form of colony for part of the bigger globalist agenda. | ||
| And I think that's what we're seeing. | ||
| And, you know, I did want to ask, you guys probably know. | ||
| So you brought up the DAs, right? | ||
| And I know that everyone talks about the Soros DAs. | ||
| Is there a grassroots right-wing effort or PAC that is currently in place that is trying to get right-wing DAs in power? | ||
| There probably is, but they're not significant. | ||
| I'm sure there are many of them, but nothing significant. | ||
| Turning Point Action does a good job of trying to do grassroots stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's probably why they killed Charlie Kirk. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he was like... | ||
| Because Turning Point Action was doing all of these things. | ||
| Turning Point Action was doing a really good job. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think they still are. | ||
| They were very active in Arizona. | ||
| They were very active in New Jersey doing Chase the Ballot, Chase the Vote things there. | ||
| They did a lot of rallies for Chitterelli. | ||
| Yeah, I think Tyler Bauer is doing a really good job with that. | ||

| Let's see what you guys have to say on this, the wonderful Timcast IRL. Phalanx says, simple solution to the filibuster argument. | ||
| The day before the GOP loses the Senate, they reestablish the filibuster and make it harder to change the rule in the future. | ||
| Once they get a simple majority, they can just change it. | ||
| Look, when they're like, but Tim, if the Republicans get rid of the filibuster, Democrats will do it too. | ||
| Yes, Democrats will do it either way. | ||
| It's pointless. | ||
| We are there. | ||
| Figure out what time it is. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Identify. | ||
| I identify as tax exempt says we can't privatize flight control. | ||
| This is silly. | ||
| We can't. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Jacob Pauley says, breaking news from Maine. | ||
| Jared Golden is retiring from all politics and is not running for any office. | ||
| He cited rising death threats against him and dangerous polarization. | ||
| He wants to be with family. | ||
| Who's that? | ||
| Do we know who that is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Battleground representative Jared Golden will not seek reelection. | ||
| I've got some secrets information. | ||
| I can't say too much right now, but I've been having some conversations with folks. | ||
| That is folks with an X because I decided. | ||
| There are prominent people that are gearing up to retire in the space because of the violence. | ||
| So I've talked about, I don't know how long we can do this. | ||
| And the reason is, guys, Barry Weiss has $10,000 a day security. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| That's really hard to do and not something that we can actually afford. | ||
| And so we live, we're in West Virginia, as everyone knows. | ||
| Tucker Carlson, I believe, is in Maine. | ||
| He moved out to the middle of nowhere. | ||
| Increasingly, more and more prominent individuals have begun to prepare to bug out, and they're not disclosing when or where they're going. | ||
| I've just started hearing rumors about this. | ||
| Some of the most prominent individuals you may watch on a daily basis are gearing up to start isolating, much like Tucker did. | ||
| Because among all these people, as much as it's fair to say, many of them are pointing this out, I don't think people understand how seriously prominent conservative personalities are taking this. | ||
| And I'll just say that. | ||
| I've heard some rumors about some prominent individuals that you guys probably watch and whether or not they'll keep doing this in the future. | ||
| I will also say, seems like Steven Crowder's going completely in the other direction. | ||
| Didn't someone just like attack one of his staff? | ||
| Something happened? | ||
| Crowder's like, I'm going to go out in the street and I'm going to have these debates with bulletproof glass and bulletproof vests. | ||
| So I hope he is safe and I wish him the best on this. | ||
| But I've been hearing some interesting rumors. | ||
| People behind the scenes, administrators, people who work in the space have been quitting and dipping out, and nobody knows. | ||
| A lot of the people who are kind of bugging out aren't necessarily the front face of a lot of these shows. | ||
| And I was very, very surprised by what I was hearing. | ||
| Actually, I'll take that back. | ||
| I was actually somewhat surprised at who I heard the rumors about, several people, but I'm not surprised it's happening because I've publicly talked about the threats are getting so insane that I'll put it simply for you guys. | ||
| Prominent conservative has children and cares more about his family and kids than the amount of money they make doing a show. | ||
| And they've got more than enough to live off of more than enough to live off of the time being. | ||
| And they want to reduce their footprint in the space as death threats escalate. | ||
| I'll just stress, we literally have a post from a guy who's calling for the murder of Barry Weiss. | ||
| It's like we are at that point where Jay Jones is AG. And the conversations that are happening now, I'll just give you full disclosure. | ||
| Jay Jones wins. | ||
| And immediately the security assessment is this is a very serious cause for alarm and threat and it's time to start increasing your security spend. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, who are we firing and what are we shutting down? | ||
| And that's the reality of the cost it's going to take to keep going on like this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I don't know, man. | |
| I'm not surprised to see, you know, let me see if I can get a little more detail on this one with this year. | ||
| You know what we'll do? | ||
| We'll bring this up in the members-only portion of the show so we can get a little more details. | ||
| But let me see if I can pull up this story. | ||
| It's giving me the business. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got. | ||
| Democrat is retiring, and it's opening up a seat that the Democrats flipped from Trump. | ||
| And yep. | ||
| Okay, what he said, I dislike, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| I've grown tired of the increasing incivility and plain nastiness that are now common, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| We'll get into it, but we'll read some more super chats for now. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Hans says Charlie was right. | ||
| He's mentioned many times that youth are doing worse than their parents. | ||
| Trump's focus on external issues is why Republicans lost last night. | ||
| It's a big reason, but there's not enough young people to, like, Gen Z is now massively voting age. | ||
| I think almost all of Gen Z are voting age now. | ||
| They're not, they're not the biggest demographic. | ||
| I think everyone's talking about, not I think, but literally everybody's talking about 18 to 29 year old white women. | ||
| I'm sorry, 18 to 29 year old women in New York who voted for Mamdani at 84%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Everyone says women are the problem. | ||
| Except this made up 6% of the voting voter base. | ||
| So if none of them voted, Mamdani still would have won. | ||
| So certainly there is an issue with their ideology, but there's many, many more issues. | ||
| Shergall says, I forgot where I learned this, but there's a stronger correlation to success with holding a job for at least six months versus getting a degree. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Perseverance is the greatest indicator of success. | ||
| Let's see what we got here. | ||
| Ms. Fitbrad says this is the perfect time for Islam to invade. | ||
| Half the right is questioning Israel and pretty much all of the psychotic left is against Israel for Palestine. | ||
| They are welcoming this with open arms. | ||
| And I think the people who are the Israel first people, which goes both ways, pro and anti, the anti-Israel people think Israel is the nexus of all problems they've ever faced because they're stupid. | ||
| And the pro-Israel people will fervently defend Israel without giving any legitimate or strong reason. | ||
| I'm not saying there aren't people who have good reasons. | ||
| Arguments, I'm saying there's this cohort of people on X, largely DeSantis voters, and they're just the worst at supporting Israel. | ||
| They just come off as cringe and smug. | ||
| And these people care more about Israel than they do about the internal problems. | ||
| And it's another reason Republicans don't win. | ||
| Smith says, Timmy, forgetting about the one successful revolution in the U.S. history, the Battle of Athens, Tennessee, where a town led an armed revolt against their corrupt town government. | ||
| Round two. | ||
| Not in New York. | ||
| That ain't going to happen. | ||
| We are in a very, very different times. | ||
| Very, very different. | ||
| Mason says, hey, Libby, is women voting worth it to you when 55% of them vote for evil? | ||
| Yeah, of course women get to vote. | ||
| We're all human beings and we have a right to vote. | ||
| But most women vote for communists. | ||
| Well, before women could vote, communists still got into power. | ||
| Where? | ||
| No, I don't think that's true. | ||
| Didn't the Russians allow, well, I guess it was a revolution before there wasn't voting in the czarist Russia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Perhaps not. | |
| So I think communists could take power whether women vote them in or not. | ||
| Listen, to be fair, men let women vote. | ||
| Everybody that thinks that repealing the 19th Amendment, everyone that thinks that repealing the 19th Amendment is a good idea, you're totally wrong. | ||
| It doesn't go nearly far enough. | ||
| It has to be way more than just women. | ||
| It has to be most people. | ||
| There should be serious limitations on who is and is not allowed to vote, at least federally. | ||
| States, you can decide who wants to vote, whatever. | ||
| People that get to vote federally, you should have to have some kind of service. | ||
| You should have to undergo a test. | ||
| There should be significant criteria as to whether or not you can vote in federal elections. | ||
| State elections, I don't care. | ||
| Repealing the 19th Amendment doesn't go nearly far enough. | ||
| How about only I can vote? | ||
| Just a little bit of a vote. | ||
| I mean, even if, even if you went with just property owners, like, you know, it talks about in the Constitution, a lot of women own property now because we are past the 70s. | ||
| Like I said, it's not about women to me, but just repealing the, like, even if you got rid of 50% of the people that vote or women, that's not enough. | ||
| What do you think about the Voting Rights Act and where the Supreme Court's headed with that? | ||
| We got to go. | ||
| Prop 50 passed. | ||
| California is basically like, no more Republicans. | ||
| No more Republicans. | ||
| And what's crazy is the state is 40% Republican. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I'm really excited. | ||
| I hope the farms shut down and leave. | ||
| I hope only the weed farms stay and they just have to just all be high all the time. | ||
| Well, I mean, that's the only thing that's because of the weather. | ||
| California is unique because the weather there. | ||
| The exodus that we hear about in New York, which is real and it's been happening for years. | ||
| Let's put all the farms in Jersey. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| The exodus is happening in New York because of the lockdowns. | ||
| And now with Mamdani, we've seen Exodus from Seattle and Portland. | ||
| This story of, I don't even know this guy's name, Jacob Golden. | ||
| Is that his name? | ||
| Jared Golden. | ||
| Sorry, Jared Golden. | ||
| And the rumors I've been hearing about prominent personalities dipping out. | ||
| Apparently there are some people that have already moved and no one knows because they kept their studios the same. | ||
| But now they're in the middle of nowhere and they're no longer doing, yeah, it's kind of nuts. | ||
| I think it's very likely that, actually, let me tell you this. | ||
| There was a restaurant that my wife and I always wanted to go to, never did. | ||
| We finally went and it was amazing. | ||
| And we're like, this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. | ||
| So then we went back with Alex Stein and his significant other, and we were like, we got to come here more often. | ||
| A week later, it was closed. | ||
| And it had been open for decades. | ||
| And the reason it closed was because they said it was time to move and be closer to family. | ||
| And it's really interesting that I keep hearing this from a lot of different people that what I think is happening is economic turmoil combined with political conflict. | ||
| And people are saying, I just want to be about my family. | ||
| And so they're basically saying, I'm done with all this. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if in California, a lot of the legacy farms shut down and just say, look, we've got more than enough for our nest egg. | ||
| We're going to get out of here. | ||
| We don't want to be involved anymore. | ||
| The costs are going to be crazy. | ||
| And it's going to be insane to be a farmer with no representation. | ||
| Like, especially, you're going to have communists who don't know where milk comes from telling you what to do. | ||
| I wonder. | ||
| Just like in Eastern Europe. | ||
| All right. | ||
| What do we got here? | ||
| Lost Ronin says, WTH is still talking about we have decades of stats on this, and wages never catch up to inflation. | ||
| The gap will only continue to grow. | ||
| That's just not true. | ||
| Yeah, it's not correct because even Trump's point, it's called being underleveraged. | ||
| When inflation is high, but growth is better, then inflation may be going up, but individuals' purchasing power increases, and that is possible. | ||
| I'm not saying I advocate for that. | ||
| It's a crazy strategy from Trump, to be honest. | ||
| Interesting nonetheless. | ||
| Josiah Magnusson says, Can we please stop paying attention to all the pollsters except for Rich Barris and Russ Mussen? | ||
| They were right again on the outcome. | ||
| Even politico, an aggregation of all liars, it is imperative we listen to people that are right, even if it's hard to stomach. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Jay Turbo says, was scrolling Reddit today, and the Virginia subreddit is celebrating Jay Jones winning. | ||
| They even made an apology letter for people to send to him. | ||
| It's wild seeing them defend his leaked text because in private, these liberals will tell you they personally want to murder people. | ||
| In public, they are scared. | ||
| I watched this. | ||
| I talked about this on my Tim Pool channel. | ||
| Everyone, subscribe at youtube.com/slash at Tim Poole for the new show. | ||
| I was talking about how women like murderers. | ||
| Why did women vote for Jay Jones? | ||
| Because he promised to murder people. | ||
| It's not an exaggeration. | ||
| I am not being cute, and I'm not saying every single woman everywhere. | ||
| I'm saying there is a mathematically visible phenomenon where women, a certain percentage and a great percentage, skew towards wanting a murderer. | ||
| I think that's crazy. | ||
| But it makes sense. | ||
| Women are crazy. | ||
| It makes tons of sense. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Plenty of people are not go back in time 2,000 years, and you have a man and a woman, and the man says, Look, I don't want to get into a fight. | ||
| Someone comes and steals their bread. | ||
| And she goes, Now I'm going to starve and my kid don't eat. | ||
| Then you have the violent murderer who just beat a guy to death. | ||
| And she goes, Ain't nobody stealing bread from that guy. | ||
| But it's true. | ||
| This means there is a degree of evolutionary pressure towards women selecting for a guy who is willing to kill for any reason. | ||
| This is the raised, you know, take the sword and raise your chin argument that Homap talks about and that some other talks. | ||
| So in this women want a women want someone that is capable of great violence but will not commit violence to the against her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And so on the whatever podcast, they show Luigi Mangioni, and all these women are like, well, he is cute. | ||
| And they're like, I wouldn't date him. | ||
| Yeah, I wouldn't date him. | ||
| And then he goes, how many of you date a drug dealer? | ||
| And they go, I did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I did. | |
| Yeah, me too. | ||
| Yeah, I did. | ||
| What kind of drugs? | ||
| All of it. | ||
| And he's like, okay. | ||
| Basically, what it looks like is when women are sitting around each other, none of them want to admit they are attracted to Luigi Mangioni for being a murderer and physically attractive because they're concerned what the other women might say about them if they deviate from the social social order. | ||
| Is this just what you were doing talking with all the girls recently? | ||
| I'm just joking. | ||
| Like, where'd you get this inverbation? | ||
| The whatever podcast. | ||
| Whatever podcast was sitting. | ||
| Whatever podcast. | ||
| And he's surrounded by women. | ||
| And he asks. | ||
| He has whatever. | ||
| And I just heard the word whatever. | ||
| And I forgot to associate it with. | ||
| Whatever podcast. | ||
| He shows them Luigi Manjoni and says, Would you date him? | ||
| And they go, No, no, no, I wouldn't. | ||
| And he goes, How many of you have dated drug dealers? | ||
| And they all did. | ||
| Aren't they all like a little bit deaf on that show, though? | ||
| He's bringing on just run-of-the-mill women from wherever. | ||
| Oh, now he's doing that. | ||
| That's what he's always done. | ||
| That's what the show is. | ||
| I thought it was like OnlyFans models. | ||
| Sometimes, yeah. | ||
| Maybe those are the things. | ||
| But he like grabs random women. | ||
| So the point is: if you go into a, if you bring a group of women who don't know each other and say, how many of you want a man to beat you while he does you? | ||
| They're all going to be like, no, oh, oh, oh, I never. | ||
| And then if you say, how many of you bought 50 Shades of Grey and fantasize about the book? | ||
| We all do. | ||
| It was the best-selling book. | ||
| Women love it. | ||
| Publicly, they will claim something different to what they say privately. | ||
| And this was Bernie Sanders' thesis back in the 90s that got him in trouble. | ||
| He said, What did he say? | ||
| Something like women fantasize about being raped by three guys or something like that? | ||
| I thought that was Eugene Carroll. | ||
| No, that was Bernie Sanders. | ||
| It's probably both of them, to be honest with you. | ||
| What? | ||
| She did both of them. | ||
| She did. | ||
| She was like, let's be real. | ||
| She was like, rape is sexy. | ||
| And then they were like, no. | ||
| And she was like, yep. | ||
| So 50 Shades of Gray, of course, is about a 21-year-old. | ||
| I got a synopsis. | ||
| Isn't it like fanfic from Twilight? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And then it was so popular, she decided to make it its own thing. | ||
| I got a summary because I don't actually know. | ||
| And so this may be wrong because AI is usually wrong. | ||
| But 21-year-old Virgin meets a 27-year-old billionaire who makes her sign a slave contract so that he can do whatever he wants and she lets him do it. | ||
| And that was like, women were like, this is the best book ever. | ||
| The next big thing that's going on with women is the Minotaur, Glory Hole. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gross. | |
| What's that? | ||
| Morning Glory Hole. | ||
| You don't know that. | ||
| I love the story of the Minotaur. | ||
| I think that's fascinating. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a very different story. | |
| The Minotaur meets 50 Shades of Gray. | ||
| It's about a college grad woman who can't afford to pay her student loan debt. | ||
| So she gets a job at a Glory Hole Minotaur repository, I guess. | ||
| And so it's the Minotaur raping her through a hole. | ||
| No, no, he's. | ||
| No, it's a bunch of different Minotaurs. | ||
| There's only one Minotaur. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Not in this book. | ||
| There's a bunch of people. | ||
| She's hired to milk the Minotaurs. | ||
| Sweet Mariana. | ||
| To pay off her student loan debt. | ||
| What the hell is this? | ||
| Because in a world where there are Minotaurs that need to be milked, there's also student loan debt. | ||
| The only reason the Minotaur ended up existing anyway is because the king of Crete refused to give Neptune his bull after Neptune let him helped him win the war. | ||
| And so he bewitched the queen into being hot for the bull. | ||
| These women know anything that you just said. | ||
| They're just gooning people. | ||
| You're gooning. | ||
| Now, Libby, that Minotaur, it's possible he had babies. | ||
| No, because he was locked in the labyrinth forever because Daedalus built the labyrinth so he could never get out. | ||
| And then Theseus had to go in and kill the Minotaur, which is what he did. | ||
| This is an alternate reality where Theseus actually was like, you're free to go. | ||
| And then he was like, and then he went and had a bunch of Minotaur babies, and now there's a whole society of Minotaurs. | ||
| That sucks. | ||
| The original story is awesome. | ||
| The book series. | ||
| The original story is awesome. | ||
| There's a series of books like this. | ||
| It's called like Monster Love or something. | ||
| And there's like Vampire. | ||
| There's like a Vampire one. | ||
| There's like a werewolf one. | ||
| There's a ghost one where like the woman is seduced by like a sexy ghost. | ||
| And she's like, didn't they do that on Star Trek with Beverly Crusher and it was like some weird alien in a candle? | ||
| Basically, the idea is like they anthropomorphize the creatures. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was. | |
| I'm like the weird planet that was like actually Scotland, but it's a planet. | ||
| That was cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anthropomorphize the creatures because there's too much baggage with human men. | ||
| This is what women want, Libby, and it's time to recognize there is money to be made. | ||
| I'm just like wildly out of touch with everything as usual. | ||
| You think that's bad? | ||
| Look up like what happens at like the weird romantic book talk conventions. | ||
| It's way worse. | ||
| I went to a bookstore recently that I thought was a mystery, like a genre mystery bookstore. | ||
| And I was like, cool, because I really like mysteries. | ||
| They're like definitely a guilty pleasure. | ||
| And I walked in and it was all romance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All porn. | |
| I'm so porn. | ||
| I'm so disappointed. | ||
| It's just women. | ||
| That's not what I'm looking for. | ||
| It's women looking to goon and then look down on men who do the same. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's all. | ||
| Okay, the point is. | ||
| They do it a different way. | ||
| That's just women are subject-oriented. | ||
| Men are object-oriented. | ||
| So men take pictures of objects. | ||
| Women take pictures of themselves in front of the objects. | ||
| Women are more susceptible to societal pressures. | ||
| So women surrounded by women won't admit to things because they're not sure if they'll fall out of line. | ||
| The story goes that in boot camp, women all get along in the beginning. | ||
| They all agree with each other. | ||
| They're all nice and they're friends. | ||
| By the end, they hate each other and they form cliques. | ||
| Oh, well, that's men. | ||
| That's women. | ||
| They hate each other and fight in the beginning. | ||
| But by the end, they're friends and they figure out who's in charge. | ||
| The reason is, men tend to be disagreeable. | ||
| So they challenge each other. | ||
| Like, it's like watching roosters bump each other and go like, and then they figure, okay, he's the boss. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Women, however, are like, I don't want to step out of line. | ||
| Then by the end of it, they're like, I know who I don't like. | ||
| So what happens is. | ||
| This is why I literally have like three friends. | ||
| This is why women love Luigi Mangione. | ||
| And they're posting videos. | ||
| And the more videos that come out, the more women start embracing it. | ||
| Oh, you do also have all those women who like, will send letters and be pen pals with brutal killers. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Women love true crime. | ||
| But hold on. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Women love true crime. | ||
| And I watched this in my video this morning on the Tim Pool show on YouTube. | ||
| There was also an interview with a true crime woman of some sort. | ||
| And she was like, women are just fascinated because you want to figure out what happened so that doesn't happen to you. | ||
| And he was like, I don't think that's it. | ||
| It's, of course, it's not because it was Mediasan. | ||
| He goes, then why was it only murder? | ||
| Why is it that women, these true crime shows are always about murder? | ||
| Yeah, they're awful. | ||
| No woman is like, ooh, true crime, like Ponzi scheme. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| It doesn't happen. | ||
| Now you've no, I listen to those ones, the like Ponzi scheme ones. | ||
| I listen to the ones that are like, this is how this business went under when somebody embezzled a lot of money. | ||
| I like those kinds. | ||
| But it was good to watch the one about true crime. | ||
| I fell victim to a Nigerian print scam. | ||
| I'll tell you this, guys. | ||
| If you want to make a billion dollars, I will tell you what to do right now. | ||
| I'm going to make you all rich. | ||
| You want to be rich. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You want to make a book about a sexy serial killer. | ||
| And he's a serial killer who's sexy, but not to the main character. | ||
| He's not a serial killer to the main character. | ||
| Yeah, that's Dexter and you. | ||
| These are all the people. | ||
| And so you make a sexy picture of a guy, and then you, you can even AI generate this, but you write a short, maybe you only need 100 pages, where he talks about how he has an urge to kill, but not you. | ||
| You've changed him. | ||
| All the time he's encountered these other dangerous men. | ||
| He's killed them. | ||
| Oh, and it turns out those other guys, they're sexist. | ||
| He's a serial killer, but it turns out only sexist guys are being killed. | ||
| And then he says, with you, I don't have the urge to kill, but will for you. | ||
| Only you. | ||
| Isn't this then? | ||
| Not really. | ||
| He was just like, he had an urge to kill, so he killed killers. | ||
| My story, then what you do is you put it on Amazon, self-publish, and then you make an advertisement for it called The Sexy Serial Killer with a sexy cover. | ||
| And then you figure out what your price point is. | ||
| How much does it cost in advertisements to sell one book? | ||
| Usually it costs around five bucks. | ||
| And then what you do is you sell the book for six, automates itself, and then you have the next book. | ||

| All right, we heard. | ||
| What is up? | ||
| Battleground rep Jared Golden. | ||
| So is it true that he's dipping out because of death threats? | ||
| Because if that's the case, that's crazy. | ||
| A Democrat is dipping out because of death threats. | ||
| Yeah, that would be surprising to me. | ||
| I don't believe you. | ||
| I don't see death threats in any of the stories. | ||
| He's just saying it's uncivil. | ||
| Well, I mean, politics in the United States have become significantly less civil in the past few years. | ||
| Yeah, yep. | ||
| He cites threats and dysfunction. | ||
| Threats? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Democrats, I can't imagine. | ||
| Well, he's a centrist, right? | ||
| So he's probably getting the left is coming after. | ||
| Our left, yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I've grown tired of the increasing incivility and plain nastiness that are now common from some element of our American community. | ||
| Additionally, recent incidents of political violence have made me reassess the frequent threats against me and my family. | ||
| He said the killing of Charlie Kirk and other violent acts influenced his decision. | ||
| A retired Marine said he and his family spent last Thanksgiving in a hotel room after a threat against their home. | ||
| Again, I'm willing to bet it's the left. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I would agree the left are where the violence kind of lives. | ||
| No matter what the media tries to tell you, the left has been where the violence in the U.S., political violence in the U.S., has come from for the past five, six years, almost exclusively. | ||
| And maybe even, maybe even 10 years, because I just saw someone talking about talking about the future of the United States is nationalism versus socialism or communism. | ||
| And this was something that I was predicting back in 2016 when the left started saying, oh, it's okay to punch a Nazi. | ||
| I was like, that is a very illiberal thing to say. | ||
| It is not okay to say punching Nazis is okay. | ||
| Historically, in the United States, we've protected even the rights of Nazis to speak. | ||
| That was the whole Skokie, Illinois, you know, Supreme Court case. | ||
| And that's something that for a long time, people in the United States had taken pride in: that we would listen to even the most horrible and we would hear their argument so that way they wouldn't fester and so that way you could argue against them. | ||
| And that has totally disappeared with young people today. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And on the left. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I think that a lot of the studies that have come out recently show that leftist political violence has been on the rise for about a decade. | ||
| And it's no surprise that Trump came down that golden escalator like a decade ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I mean, wouldn't would you consider Donald Trump a cause or an effect? | ||
| Because my inclination is that he's a symptom. | ||
| He's not a cause of effect. | ||
| Oh, I think so too. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think he's, I don't, I don't, I think that he is used in a lot of ways as people's reason for being violent. | ||
| But I don't think that. | ||
| I mean, that's a question. | ||
| Like, do you think that if Trump didn't exist, there would still be a Trump figure? | ||
| So where do you think somebody have come along right now? | ||
| So if Trump is an effect, where do you think it started? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, what was the initial Gamergate? | |
| Well, Barack Obama. | ||
| You know what was really crazy? | ||
| 9-11. | ||
| That after 9-11, there was a point in which George W. Bush threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium. | ||
| And anyone could go look up this video. | ||
| And he got a rousing round of applause. | ||
| And public opinion polls at one point showed that he had a 90% approval rating in the United States of America, which to think about that today, right? | ||
| Like a Democrat or a Republican could have a 90% approval rating is really insane. | ||
| And then as the years passed after that and people started to learn about the lies and then the WMDs in Iraq lie and the invasion of Iraq and all that. | ||
| And then you had Barack Obama rise. | ||
| And then there was the big, the great script flip. | ||
| Because for years, they had told us that the number one threat to all of us was radical Islamic terrorism and that there were these guys putting bombs and shoes and doing all this crazy stuff. | ||
| And that before you went to a concert, you had to check the alert level. | ||
| And if it was renowned to go to that concert because it's probably going to get blown up, you're probably going to die. | ||
| And this was on the news every night. | ||
| This was a real thing. | ||
| And then Obama comes in and does a complete 180 and says, no, no, if you have any negative thoughts about what they're saying is radical Islamic terrorism, then it's because you're filled with hate. | ||
| So to take this 180-degree flip, right, it completely splintered the country. | ||
| And then everything after that became about race. | ||
| And it really created a boiling point where by the time Trump came along and he said, listen, we need to secure the border, that was all the left needed because race had become everything under Obama. | ||
| That was all the left needed for the country to just explode. | ||
| And the right to be viewed as hateful when in reality, if you're, and this kind of goes back to what you were saying before, what right-wing America started to figure out is that we do have to get back to nationalism. | ||
| We do have to get back to putting America above everything else. | ||
| We have to put America first. | ||
| And part of that is securing your borders and not allowing endless amounts of people who might not have American values. | ||
| They're not raised in American culture. | ||
| They definitely don't have. | ||
| Well, I say that like it's obvious, right? | ||
| But the whole point is that when you followed legal immigration process, you had to spend a lot of money, a lot of time, and put in a lot of effort to come here. | ||
| And it ensured more often than not that they were going to be amenable to American values. | ||
| And they were actually proud to live here, which is why there's still a bit of a gap between people who think it's one of the reasons why their language is so nefarious when they refer to immigration rather than referring to it as illegal immigration, right? | ||
| Because when Americans thought about the idea of the, you know, the great melting pot, that was something where you could look completely different from your neighbors, but you coalesced around the idea that you loved America and you loved what America stood for. | ||
| Now you are all going to behave properly in public. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And now all of that has kind of been thrown by the wayside. | ||
| Well, the language has changed. | ||
| And we've had radical demographic shifts in this country. | ||
| It's a meme, but it's true. | ||
| The world that you were born into no longer exists. | ||
| It's been fundamentally drained and bled dry by politicians over the last 20 years. | ||
| And it did start, you know, I mean, I would say even around the time Bush was in office and earlier. | ||
| If you went back to the early 1900s, employees of Henry Ford had to go through what was, I believe it was called the Henry Ford Americanization School. | ||
| And they would go through this elaborate schooling process where they were forced, if they wanted to work for Ford, they were forced to study the Constitution, study the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, understand American values. | ||
| They were forced to learn English. | ||
| And at the end of this elaborate schooling process, they had a ceremony in which they would start on one part of a stage with their natural flag, whether it was from Italy or Ireland or wherever they were from. | ||
| And they would put that flag down. | ||
| They would walk across the stage and they would pick up an American flag. | ||
| And then everyone would celebrate that they have now embraced America. | ||
| And there was this idea, this wasn't unique to Ford. | ||
| There was this idea that if you wanted to come to the United States of America, then you owe it to the people that are Americans to assimilate into this country. | ||
| And that has been so lost that even legal immigration now is a threat to the people of the United States of America. | ||
| Because if you're bringing people from different parts of the world, from different cultures who don't value 1776, they don't value the American Revolution, and you're not, not only are you not forcing them to assimilate, but you're using American schools to teach their children that the host population of America, their history is rotten to its core, then the end result of that is going to be people who turn against the Declaration of Independence and turn against the Bill of Rights. | ||
| So back in 2016, the Trump base felt that. | ||
| And yes, they said illegal immigration, but the bigger thing was immigration. | ||
| And the bigger thing was, do we have a right to our own country? | ||
| And I think that's really a major part of the battle, whether it's we have a right to our borders, whether it's we have a right to being the main influence over our politicians. | ||
| And that's the battle going forward. |
