HE HAS DONE IT | Timcast IRL #1462 w/ Grace Unfiltered
Grace Unfiltered dissects GOP’s midterm meltdown—Crenshaw, Crockett’s losses, and Gonzalez’s ethics scandal—while exposing media bias, from Fox’s "truthful hyperbole" to MSNBC’s distortions. A Muslim woman’s unopposed GOP win highlights Republican disarray, as Trump’s pragmatism contrasts with D.C.-obsessed rivals. The episode ties cultural decay—AI-trained bots, "Karen" stereotypes, and Star Trek’s woke pivot—to biological determinism, arguing women’s empathy skews justice systems while men default to retribution. From World of Warcraft nostalgia to treaty-breaking pragmatism, the segment frames modern politics as a clash between instinct and ideology, with no room for compromise. [Automatically generated summary]
James Taylorico, of course, there's this whole controversy going on about how, strangely, Jasmine Crockett's accusing the Republicans of cheating, even though she got cheated by the Democrats and Colbert, which is weird.
But the big news we're all excited for is that Brandon Herrera has won in Texas' 23rd district, beating out Tony Gonzalez.
However, not by enough.
So it's going to go to a runoff.
But when you look at the hard numbers, Brandon Herrera has won.
Just didn't clear 50%.
So the expectation is he's likely going to win, especially because the Republicans are launching investigations to Tony Gonzalez.
More information coming out about the staffer he had an affair with who immolated herself and died.
I mean, it's an absolutely crazy story.
So we got a lot to break down as it pertains to these elections.
Apparently, there's one election, I guess, where a leftist Muslim woman won the Republican primary because she was unopposed.
And it's pretty embarrassing for the Republican Party.
So we'll talk about that.
Plus, oh man, war stuff.
The first sinking of a ship by submarine since, I think, World War II.
Everybody's talking about that.
And another crazy story in these elections.
A man who is currently facing criminal charges, accused of murdering the man who raped and kidnapped his daughter.
He won his primary.
And everyone's just like, basically, everyone on the right sitting back and going, yep.
They all voted for him, probably.
But when you actually look at the story, it sounds just like self-defense.
And a lot of people are trying to make it out to be like this guy, Liam Neeson style, hunted down this guy.

And also, my friends, big news, pool water by the can.
If you ever wanted to drink pool water, don't.
Something's probably wrong with you.
But if you want to drink pool brand water, it's delicious Virginia Artesian water.
And now buy the beautiful plastic interlined cans.
I'm pretty sure the cans are lined with plastic.
I'm not 100% in that one.
I do need to ask Steam, but I'm fairly certain.
Basically, like every bottle, like every can, aluminum or otherwise, is lined with plastic to prevent corrosion.
And so people are all asking, like, Tim, do the cans have plastic?
And I'm like, oh, yeah.
Even the cap does.
I'm not going to lie about it or pretend there's not.
It's just a reality.
So if you want to buy bottled canned water, you can.
And it's got plastic in it.
We're going to check the math, but I'd imagine the amount of plastic in our cans, for which they are likely lined, would be comparable to liquid death cans, which are also plastic lined.
Anyway, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, subscribe to this channel.
Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we got Adam Salinas.
So I have a platform that we talk faith, politics, and kind of, you know, news around the world.
And it all started, you know, kind of back in 2014.
I mainly talked about faith.
And when I had all of these individuals that I had met over the years started to ask me certain questions about some of the propositions that were coming into law in the state of California, instead of answering the same question 20, 30, 40 different times, I started doing a post about it.
Alex Stein, yeah, it says this is actually guaranteed to spice things up in the bedroom, but also there's a caveat that is not guaranteed to spice things up in the bedroom.
Here's a story from non-stop local tri-cities Yakima because it was the only outlet that I could find that actually centered the story around the winner of the race, Brandon Herrera.
It says Republican Brandon Herrera advances to primary runoff election in Texas's 23rd congressional district, for which there is a single sentence which says Republican Brandon Herrera advances to primary runoff in election in Texas' 23rd congressional district.
See, the reason I opted for this non-stop local tri-cities Yakima NBC page is because literally every other outlet they title their stories like Gonzalez heads to runoff amid allegations of affair with aid in a tight primary race with conservative challenger Brandon Herrera.
I would argue indeed it is not a tight race as Brendan Herrera won handily.
However, in we got to scroll down here on this website.
In Texas, you've got to get at least 50%.
So, okay, fair, fair, fair.
It is relatively tight.
It's less than a thousand votes, but Brandon Herrera won.
And so the headline should be: either Gonzalez defeated by Brandon Herrera, however, they will both go to a runoff.
Every headline acts like Brandon Herrera, who I'm going to argue is substantially more famous than Tony Gonzalez.
This is what really irks me.
Okay, this is the reality of the establishment media and the machine state of this country.
By any metric, Brandon Herrera is more famous than Tony Gonzalez.
He's got millions of followers.
And I'm not saying that to disparage Tony Gonzalez, but Tony Gonzalez is like a rank and file member of Congress.
In his district, he's probably moderately well known.
But I guarantee you, if you go to any random place in the country and ask him, Do you know who Brandon Herrera is?
Do you know who Tony Gonzalez is?
You're going to get more people saying Brandon Herrera, he's a big YouTuber.
So that's why it irks me when he wins, he's more famous, and then you see all the media act like he doesn't matter because these people don't want to give air or space to anyone who would challenge that machine.
So, outside of that, we got a lot to talk about because Jasmine Crockett got fired and Dan Crenshaw got fired as well.
So, I mean, are we looking at?
Well, I will, I got to throw him in the mix, okay?
So, I think that it's kind of not a surprise that Crenshaw got beat, honestly.
He's looked at as a swamp creature.
If you look at his history when it comes to stock trading, he's done a lot of things that people consider insider trading.
He's made a lot of money in the stock market since he's been in Congress.
It's fairly well known.
I think that the MAGA base kind of looks at him and says, No, he's just a boilerplate swamp creature, and we want to get him out and get someone else in.
Well, he had a lot of, you know, there were a lot of people that were looking to give him a chance when he first got in because he's a former Navy SEAL, you know, because of his pedigree and stuff.
And, and he just totally wasted it and totally blew it.
You know, to where not every great individual with a great pedigree is meant for leadership.
You know, they were great in their field, but when they transitioned to this place of power, you're trying to vote for anything and everything that opposes that other party, even if it's far right.
And far right in the moment seemed like the perfect answer.
But then as years went on and that class begins to diminish over the years, now you realize like, oh, shoot, this probably wasn't the right guy to run things, you know, regardless of how many consecutive turns he was doing.
I think it's about time that Republicans are seeing, you know what?
It's not, it's not about having that far left, far right narrative.
It's about finding where conservatives were supposed to be the entire time.
Maybe, maybe there was like a deep state guy who somehow got access to Crenshaw's browser history and like knocks on his door and says, Mr. Crenshaw, and he's like, hey, man, I'm not going to listen to you, deep state guys.
And he's like, here's a list of your browser history.
Because I remember when he first came in, everyone's like getting all hyped.
They were just going back to what he, his statements were on the initial Trump run, and he was like pearl clutching over Trump's like comments on Muslims.
He's like, this is so hateful.
Like, we can't, Americans, we're better than this.
So it's like, this guy clearly was a ladder climber.
And typically, when you're a ladder climber, you're actually really good at like hiding your cards, but he's terrible at it.
He has the worst poker face in politics.
Like, that's like what I led with this.
He's literally melting down all the time.
I've never seen him happy before.
Like, he's always just mad, freaking out, just like good.
And I think, honestly, his constituents probably don't even know anything about his politics.
This is a light taste of what's to come this year with the midterm elections.
And you know, it's going to get real spicy towards the end of summer because the Democrats came out in force.
The turnout was very, very good for Democrats.
Republicans were down by like what 20%.
So a lot of Republicans are sounding the alarm saying, guys, if we can't get turnout, especially when you're trying to get like Ken Paxton to win to beat Cornyn and Herrera to beat Gonzalez, I mean, come on.
Like these, these elections very, very much mattered.
And although I would say it turned out very well on the Republican side, the turnout was relatively low.
So end of summer, Democrats are going to be coming out screaming and bashing their faces against the table that the apocalypse is happening.
You know, so we've got in our newsroom, we're running that channel where it's like, it's not, it's not a channel, it's four channels at once.
So you can see, I guess, what do they have pulled up?
Sports?
Like the top left is some sport channel.
I don't know you guys watch football or something.
But then you got Fox, MS Now, and CNN.
And it was absolutely hilarious before the show started.
MS Now's Chiron was Heg Seth says like talking about dead troops makes Trump look bad or something like this, which is like he definitely didn't say.
And then Fox was like, Democrats endorse murder or something.
Not even kidding.
And then CNN was like more missile strikes in Riyadh or whatever, something like that.
And I just thought it was absolutely hilarious to see the state of media in this country right now.
But I would argue that Fox News, hyper-partisan, Democrats endorse, you know, illegal immigrant crime or something like this.
And it's like, I get it.
It's like, okay, it's hyperbolic, but technically it's true.
Heg Seth saying that stop, claiming that people should stop talking about dead troops because it makes Trump look bad.
That literally never happened.
And so, like, the right is, you know, if watching Fox News, you're going to be biased.
You know, you're going to get information biased against Democrats, but opinionated and true, hyperbolic, perhaps.
And MS Now is just lying about what's going on.
Imagine what it's going to be like in August when we're a couple months out from the midterms.
And this is the Democrats' opportunity to put an end to Trump once and for all, because this is it for him.
This is his last opportunity.
If the Democrats win the midterms, they know they are going to jam a crowbar in the gears and then just lock everything up.
So they are going to be going out in massive force, screaming that the world is ending.
And my point on the MS Now thing is, you think that headline is crazy?
Wait till you see what they pull out.
Like Donald Trump will go to pet a dog and they'll speed it up 200% and it says Donald Trump repeatedly strikes dog.
Well, you also get, you're going to get this negative feedback loop because like I don't like the inside baseball for how political media works is really the summer before the election cycle is when the money starts flooding in.
So you're going to get a negative feedback loop where some money starts coming in.
MS Now starts saying like, hey, if we don't win this election, it's all over.
All these donors are going to freak out and start pouring more and more money in.
So this is going to be like the most expensive midterm cycle, not just on the election side, but in the media side as well.
And the Herrera-Gonzalez race is another example where Herrera was mostly, actually, I think it was entirely small donors.
And then Gonzalez was like all institutional.
But this is the thing that sucks is the reason that Gonzalez was so close because he's like literally has the most skeletons in his claws that we can look right at him in the eyes is because the cash on hand he had was still far far surpassed Herrera.
So it's like we're still playing in the old school game.
The point that I'm making is the people that are running for Congress, the energy is with the left now, is really on the far left.
And they've made it clear that they look at wealthy people as the enemy.
I just wonder if wealthy people that generally write the big checks to PACs and stuff, I wonder if they're going to open their pocketbooks when people like Bernie Sanders and RoConna are talking about wealth taxes or taxes on your property.
Right now, people have already started to leave California just because that is on the ballot.
It seems like it's a popular ballot measure and it might pass.
But at the same time, when the wealthy people are like, yo, we can't do this.
Are they really going to write checks for people that are going to be able to do that?
I think they're going to continue to write those checks because it's all a part of the grand scheme of things.
Because they'll end up with someone like Mamdani in New York and will continue to fund this whole spiel.
Right now, they're using this as bait that we got to tax the rich, we got to tax the rich.
Those rich donors that are donating to those Democratic parties are going to continue to do this because their next candidate is going to run on that whole phase of tax the rich, and it's going to happen like every single other time, the trickle effect.
To Tim's point, like, this sounds so cliche at this point, but TDS really does trump everything else because you have to think for these billionaires, they legitimately think Trump is going to exterminate the United States as it stands.
So that trumps everything else.
They're willing to risk it on them potentially getting taxed more if it means keeping Trump out.
And this happens from the center left all the way to the far left.
Look at Bill Crystal.
Bill Crystal's what he has wet dreams every night of bombing Iran.
He literally dreams and salivates about bombing Iran.
It's all he wants to see before he dies is burning flesh in Iran.
Trump bombs Iran.
All of a sudden, he's like, you know, Trump is committing like a war crime here.
And like, he's actually not following the rule of international law.
So it's like, every single one of these people, their lifelong dream, they will over the Trump hatred will overcome that every single time.
We got this from CBS News, House Ethics Committee to investigate rep Tony Gonzalez over allegations of affair with aide who died by suicide.
For those who are not familiar, this is the guy that Brandon Herrera is running against.
He cheated on his wife with a woman who then killed herself.
And, you know, I'm going to say this: there are details about the story everybody in the Beltway knows.
We're here in D.C., basically.
And so we hear all these rumors, which for which, you know, I can address a little bit.
And I'm careful because I don't know what exactly is true, but everybody's got a similar story.
However, I will stress: there are some people who think it wasn't suicide.
And I'm going to go ahead and say that at least the conversation in the Beltway and what we know from the press is that the staffer who died did die by suicide.
That being said, I don't know exactly, and I want to stress this: there are some people that think it's more nefarious, as it were, in that Tony Gonzalez, the implication they're trying to make.
We see some of these rumors running is that he's going to lose his election if it comes out that's having an affair.
The woman he's having an affair with is then found immolated.
She says, her dying breath, I don't want to die.
And people immediately take that as somebody tried to silence her.
Now, I got this.
Douglas Mackey tweeted this out.
She committed suicide by lighting herself on fire.
When she was found heavily burned and pleading for water, her last words were, I don't want to die.
100% of those who attempt to commit suicide but somehow miraculous survived, usually they jumped off a bridge or tried to overdose, have reported regretting it.
Life is precious.
And it's true.
He has this from the story.
It says, Santos Avil was regional district director for Rep Gonzalez, a Republican representing Texas 23rd District.
She joined his staff in November of 2021.
Her mother, Nora Ann Gonzalez, previously told the San Antonio Express News that her daughter was upset on the night of September 13th because her eight-year-old son was spending the weekend with his father.
Santos Aviles, Avil's favorite pronouns, and her husband had separated and were sharing parental responsibilities.
Her mother said, sensing her daughter's distress, Gonzalez said she went to the home that night to find Santos Avilas burned and pleading for water.
The last thing she said is, I don't want to die.
So when this story came out, tons of people were saying, it kind of sounds like somebody was killed, that somebody was lit on fire.
And what I will say is this: the story that's been circulating in the Beltway is that she calls him on the phone, threatening to kill herself unless he drops everything and comes to see her.
And he's like, get out of here, crazy lady.
So on the phone, she dumps fuel on herself and then screams, I'll do it, I'll do it.
And again, I don't know that any of this is true.
These are just rumors that are circulating.
And then here's the thing people need to understand: okay, they think that in order to light fuel, you have to press flame to the fuel.
That is not correct.
The fuel itself is not flammable.
It is the fumes that are flammable.
And so, again, I don't know if this is true, but the rumors that have been circulating is that she snapped a lighter or something.
She like splashes herself while filming and then like snaps a lighter, like, I'll do it.
And goes up.
Because when you are splashed with fuel, the fumes are coming off you.
An ignition source near the fumes will light you up.
Now, again, I don't know that any of that is true.
And I'm just saying this: you got all these members of Congress, and they're like, Yeah, this is what everyone's saying happened.
You know, now there's a couple things.
Maybe the reason those rumors are circulating is because it, you know, for an establishment Republican guy, it's ooh, salacious.
So there's nothing, there's no foul play.
You know what I mean?
Because right now, like, we don't really even know what happened in the official reporting.
I mean, I've met multiple individuals throughout my life, especially when I used to travel for ministry and stuff.
Individuals that literally tried to commit suicide, try to take their own life away.
And every single one of them had said the exact same thing, whether it was jumping a bridge, whether it was an individual that I knew that tried to light themselves on fire.
And thankfully people got there in time.
Those situations, nobody in the heat of the moment, when the act is actually coming about, nobody is thinking, yes, it's finally happening.
Of course, anybody would think about saying, I don't want to die in the heat of the moment.
But for people to not have any valid foundation to what these allegations are coming, as long as it's not being checked by reality, as long as these individuals aren't actually bringing factual evidence, I think it's just going to be almost a monopoly play for any Democrat.
If you are going to be voting for someone, the moment that they decide to go public or to carry any type of office or seat, the public is required to know who they're voting for.
Because if they don't, then anyone could just step up to those positions.
If you don't want your life to be put on the spotlight, not only the good things, but even mistress type of things, then don't sign up for that type of job.
It's like, you know, if you have like some skeletons, like, I don't know, you know, some people, it's like, okay, you had like this embezzlement issue or like, hey, I got fired from a job.
I was like high on the job.
One guy, you know, he cheated on his wife and then she burned herself alive.
Like some of these things, you know, would make you a little bit like, maybe you should not run for office.
Maybe stick to like, I don't know, middle management.
I mean, I think it's embarrassing because for someone who jokingly criticized Donald Trump for using that card, she used it now.
We just seen a few moments ago how the amount of Republicans that went into the voting polls were a lot less this time around.
And she's somehow mad at the individuals that didn't vote for her in the first place, Republicans, instead of the Democrats who did not choose to vote for her.
Stephen Colbert staged a hoax where James Tellarico, listen, I want to stress this.
James Tallarico engaged in a hoax with Stephen Colbert.
Tallerico tweeted out, this is the interview Trump didn't want you to see.
And they framed it as though he was the only candidate and that he was already the primary winner.
Colbert and Tellerico framed the interview on the show as if Trump was trying to make sure that Paxton or Cornyn would get an opportunity to go on Colbert.
That if you're going to have a Democrat, the Republicans should be allowed.
Hold on.
We are not in the general.
So that means Tellerico's opponent who would have been granted equal time was Jasmine Crockett.
The purpose of the hoax was to create the perception in the minds of the people that Tallarico was already the nominee.
And nobody knew who he was.
He had no notoriety.
He was not going to beat Jasmine Crockett, a rising star in the Democratic Party, until this.
And Hollywood Reporter is gloating about it, saying the Colbert bump did it.
That because, and they don't call it a hoax.
They're saying, thanks to the interview that Colbert refused to censor in the face of the FCC, Tallerico wins.
Well, now, the craziest thing is Jasmine Crockett crying like a baby and blaming the Republicans.
Fred has already stated, we encourage each and every one of you to remain resilient.
We cannot allow this type of behavior to be rewarded because so long as they know that they can win, even if it means cheating, then they will continue to do it.
Bro, Tallarico skinned a Christian alive and schlopped his skin over his body and says, Look at me.
I have a risky vote for me.
And the Democratic Party is like, We got to get this guy front and center so he can actually beat, he can trick moderates into voting for him like moderate Christians.
Jasmine Crockett, I think, is a bad person.
I do not trust her.
I think she lies about her accent, all that stuff.
But holy crap, step outside.
Okay, first, let me just say part of me is laughing because of how funny this is to see these scumbags kind of just eating each other alive.
At the same time, I am rightly pissed off that this is how politics in our country is being run.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not naive.
I know that politics has been dirty for a very, very long time, but this is so brazen.
I love how, like, the Texas Democrats are like, hmm, the reason the state's really slipping away from us is because Hispanic voters are really flipping over to the Republican Party.
Well, that's that's kind of why some of the individuals that love Jasmine Crockett, I don't know if you guys watched the video, where they are coming, they came out in the news saying that they loved her so much, but they couldn't vote for her because they did not believe she could win.
So, how do you love someone so much, campaign behind them, and do all of this stuff, and yet at the end of the day, switch it up and vote for the polar opposite of her?
And if your worldview is moderate Democrats suck, but Republicans are pure evil demons, you will vote for a sock over a Republican.
So, the attitude they this is the Democrat establishment plan: Tallarico masquerades as a Christian.
He, uh, there's a there's there's viral clips of him where he, he, I mean, some of the most, I'm not even, I'm not a Christian, but holy crap, some of the most shockingly offensive, blasphemous, blasphemous sophistry I've seen.
There's one viral clip where I'm again, assuming it's real, but I think it's from Rogan, where he argues that about Mary.
About Mary, the Immaculate Conception was the angels saying you can abort the baby Jesus right now if you want.
The framing that Tellerico made in this video, he says the angel went to her and said, Do you want to actually finish carrying this baby?
And she was like, okay, I will.
It's like, see, they asked for consent.
Therefore, the angel was like, you may terminate the son of God.
This dude is evil.
He is an evil man.
Like, I think I actually have the, I don't know if I have the tweet from him.
No, let me pull it up.
James Tellerico engaging in the, let's see.
Yep, I got it right here.
I always got my sources, always got my sources.
Here's Tellerico's tweet himself.
This is the interview Donald Trump didn't want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
First of all, Trump had nothing to do with it.
The FCC had nothing to do with it.
The FCC never intervened in any capacity.
CBS stated, they told Colbert, if you interview a politician, FCC equal time rules means you will need to have on that person's opponent.
That's it.
Colbert lied, and James Tallerico, the Democrat nominee, lied along with it.
To frame this as Trump is trying to stop me, the nominee, from winning.
And it was funny to find out if you actually pay attention, you're like, hold on there, gosh darn minute.
This was shutting down Jasmine Crockett, not Paxton or Cornyn.
They are lying.
Tellerico is evil.
Okay.
Look, I'll tell you this.
I remember it's like 2018 or whatever.
And my mom calls me and she's like, how come all you ever do is talk about Democrats?
And I said, because they're evil.
I was like, they constantly do duplicitous things.
They're malicious.
They're lying.
And she goes, yeah, but Republicans are bad too.
And I was like, I don't disagree.
Give me something that Democrats have done that I think would, you know, that you think would be bad.
And my mom was like, well, I mean, I don't know.
And I'm like, right.
The problem with the Republican Party is they are sitting on their hands, elitists, who are weak pencil necks who can't get the job done.
They do have their scandals.
There are evil Republicans too.
But the Democratic Party just hits Grand Slam after Grand Slam.
And so when the day-to-day, when we're going through the day-to-day, what do I find?
There are many Republicans that are at odds with the establishment of the Republican Party, and I can stand alongside them.
I can say I'm a fan of Thomas Massey.
I can, you know, there's a handful of, Massey is going to get the direct shout out, but there's a handful of Republicans we've had in the show that we're friends with.
And then we know there's the establishment, bad Republicans, and we call them out.
But it's just sometimes because usually the problem with Republicans is they don't do anything.
It's like the Save Act.
Hey, vote for this thing.
And they're like, well, I don't know.
And so our biggest complaint is they won't do it.
Democrats, on the other hand, do things like this.
Just abject deceit to steal political power.
Bernie Sanders putting out his tweet earlier, where, or I don't know if it was today or yesterday, where he's like, I'm going to charge the billionaires 5%.
And then Jeff Bezos will unfortunately only have $224 billion to survive on.
And you know, Bernie Sanders is lying.
You know for a fact, if you're in politics, Bernie Sanders understands, and so does Elizabeth Warden, exactly why the proposal doesn't make sense.
And for those of you who haven't heard the explanation on a wealth tax or who can't comprehend the function of the wealth tax and why it doesn't work, let me just describe it like this.
For those of us that have been tracking politics and that track economic systems, Bernie Sanders may as well, Bernie Sanders may as well have said he is demanding the government seize the candy cane rainbow bridge from Jeff Bezos that he uses to get to the planet Nebulon.
And you're going, that literally is a fake thing that makes no sense.
But to all the people who are deeply concerned about the Care Bears and they don't know better, it sounds like Jeff Bezos is an evil person.
And, you know, I just, I'm going to stress: I am sick of the right, right?
You get these hoity-toity dudes who whinge on the internet sitting there talking about all the problems, but all they do every day is they sit down at a desk and complain about what's going on in the world and they don't actually run for office.
They complain about it and demand everybody else do it with their freaking beanies and their folded sleeve button ups telling everybody else what to do, but they won't do it themselves.
Because for the longest time, their ultimate goal has just been, let's get them into office.
And that's where their plans stop.
That's where their policies end.
If our ultimate goal when running for any type of political office is just to get the position, everyone that voted for you has just gotten set up to fail.
Look, guys, I don't need a Republican Party that's going to storm in in full tactical gear, smashing their fists on the table, being like, insurrection act wrong and load up the trains.
We're deporting everybody.
I need a Republican Party that says we're actually going to vote on the SAVE Act.
If the Republican Party we had was 80% of this country from Democrat to Republican are in favor of the SAVE Act, we're voting on it.
It's going to pass.
I'd be like, thank you.
I don't need guys with guns and fists and tactical gear to say we're taking over and then running around seizing techniques.
We don't need anything crazy.
We just need a party that literally does their job based on what their constituents are asking for and the Republicans don't.
The point at which we would ask for 300 guys in tactical armor with rifles is like you're being bombed.
In terms of at what point do we demand Republicans do their job?
It's literally 20 years ago.
It's 10 years ago.
It's right now.
It is vote for Brandon Herrera.
Make sure he wins because the more we can get people like him, you know, Riley Moore, our rep, amazing.
Okay, shout out to Riley Moore in West Virginia because he's a guy you can literally go and talk to.
And I understand it's probably easier in West Virginia, where it's a lot, it's more sparsely populated.
But his district is same size district as any other district.
But he'll talk to you and he actually works for what the people have asked him to do.
And then you've got all of these other, what is it, like Tony Gonzalez votes for gun control?
Okay, Republicans didn't vote for that.
And they don't expect you to vote for that.
So the time is now to, for Republicans, you guys got to run.
Okay.
I'm loving that the Texas Senate primary had so many people.
Wesley Hunt, Ken Paxton, and Cornyn, great.
That being said, I wonder if Paxton would have won cleanly if Wesley Hunt did not run.
So we'll see.
I'm hoping that these other, when these other candidates are removed, it all goes to Paxton.
That being said, the primary was fantastic for the Republicans.
I mean, Crenshaw's gone.
We'll see if Toth does better.
But I mean, this story about Lakeisha Alston, guys, I'm going to say it right now.
I may not like what Democrats do, but damn do I respect it.
Okay.
Because these are the kind of people that show up to your house and say your house belongs to me now.
And the Republicans are the kind of people who go, well, I think Town Hall is going to hear about this, pack up their stuff and leave.
Again, why the other day, with all due respect for the Iran war stuff, I said I love the masculinity of Trump because when Iran says to Trump, we've got enough material for 11 bombs.
And then Trump goes, I'm going to kill you.
Like, as much as I'm not a fan of getting involved in Iran the way we are, I have to just feel some kind of masculine catharsis to Trump saying, I will F you up.
Well, what you're getting at is what separates Trump from like every other Republican is that Trump ultimately only responds to power.
That's why he respects people with power.
He disrespects people that don't have power.
This is why like some people get frustrated that he doesn't have like a bromance with like Javier Millay or like have this bromance with Victor Orban.
It's like, because he likes them.
He's like, he likes their policies or whatever.
But who cares what Hungary has to say?
Who cares what Argentina has to say?
He only responds to power.
This is why he respects Xi Jinping.
This is why he respects Vladimir Putin.
He'll respect a strongman.
And that's what separates him from the GOP, where the GOP, beautiful losers, they're going to go and glaze the prime minister of Hungary.
It's like, great.
We can use, it's very useful.
I love Hungary.
I love Orban.
This is great.
We can implement a lot of their policies.
But let's not pretend like this is the most important thing in the world.
The GOP just gets fixated on like my principles.
And, you know, we can get this really fantastic housing act passed.
That's literally what freaking John Thune, out of everything on the docket right now that matters, he prioritized the Housing Act to like help poor people buy it.
You know, the Save Act could literally make or break every election going forward.
I mean, the Trump, the wartime powers, the Democrats were trying to restrict his wartime powers.
All of these pressing issues, DHS funding.
And Jon Thune, he's like, I might get a glossy national review op-ed.
So I think what I should do is I should prioritize getting this housing act right.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just like gay, like gay, pacified Republicans that only care about their ego, that only care about their status, versus Trump, who's like, I just respond to power and I will return the favor.
Well, Republicans have been like that for a long time.
They want the approval of D.C. Like they just are dying for Washington, D.C. to invite them to the parties to make sure that they get a good seat at the correspondence dinner and stuff.
Like those things are important to Republicans.
It's all about they want the status and they don't care about actually doing the things that their constituency wants.
And their constituency hates Washington.
So what they have to do is things like Trump has done.
Go in there and cut things and make changes that are going to be unpopular in D.C.
And people, if you don't, D.C. will continue to consolidate power.
94% of DC voted for Kamala Harris.
That's what you get when you don't actually go in and change the culture and change the bureaucracy in there.
And I think that the reason he's criticized so much, not just on the left, but we're starting to see that especially with what's going on in Iran now from the right, they're criticizing him not because of what he's doing, but because he actually did something.
So to anybody else that is in the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, they are threatened not by his role, not because, oh, the e-files or whatever, anything like that.
They are threatening, they're threatened by him because he can actually do things.
He is not just going to make you all of these promises and then just, hey, you're paying me to be here.
You guys can go to hell.
You know what I mean?
And as we continue to vote for Republicans or Democrats, stop looking at people and voting for people based off of the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, where they're coming from, if they're from the hood or they're from the higher ups.
Focus on what they've accomplished prior to office, prior to running, because if their report is zero equals zero, those individuals don't need to be running for office and we shouldn't be voting for them.
You know, you need individuals that are going to be able to actually follow through.
And if they're following through in their past objectives and their past courses, then you would expect them to follow through here.
You know, I got a question, and I'd like an honest answer to from you guys: is it better to have someone in power that's deceptive but an idiot or that's deceptive and brilliant?
Well, this goes back to like if you speak to like a lot of South Africans, they'll tell you, I'd rather live under incompetent socialists than competent social democrats.
So they say like, actually, when you live in a situation like South Africa, it does enable you to build projects.
It enables you to kind of operate under the government's nose because they're horribly incompetent, even though they're like socialists, versus Europe living somewhere like Germany or Denmark.
A lot of South Africans say that's not favorable.
rather stay here because I don't want to live under all-encompassing competent social democracy because they're going to ensure that you can't even lay an egg before we come and take an inspection of it.
What I'm concerned about is like, because of the intelligence of the deceptive power of Trump and his administration, like, are they going to, what we're going to start seeing is deepfakes, like we talked about at the top of the show, and it's going to be deep fakes of Trump flying knee kicking a dog or whatever.
And then are we going to see the Trump admin being like, look, misinformation actually is a big problem right now.
However, it's appearing like some kind of resolution is on the horizon.
The endless bombing campaigns from the Iranian regime have been put on pause since this news dropped.
It's a story that is on par with the Israeli pager drama from two years ago, but this time a coordinated effort between the U.S. and Israel.
I'm being told that these group chats had been infiltrated for months, and there was serious internal debate in the White House and Knesset about whether or not to release them as this would seriously violate international bro code and could potentially lead to retaliation against Israeli and American men.
Dubbed Operation Epic Funny, these group chats, I'm told, include texts criticizing the weights of senior Iranian officials' wives, racist, and sexist memes that were not only not denounced but were thoroughly enjoyed, as well as numerous instances of Smash or Pass, where women's photos would be posted in the group chat, and Iranian officials would then comment on whether they would have sex with the women or not.
The craziest thing is that this video has gone massively viral.
I think, what does it have?
2 million views since this morning.
But here's the best part: Danny tweeted at Grok, is International Bro code real?
And it said, Yes, International Bro code is 100% real.
That's why hacking the Ayatollah's group chat instantly forces ceasefire talks.
No one wants the receipts dropping on who owes who a beer or skip the last summit.
Bros, before geopolitical blows, what's the juiciest leap?
So, the craziest thing is they had to community note Danny's obvious AI satire about how Iran was more embarrassed about their racist group chat.
So, they were going to ceasefire as opposed to the actual war itself.
Where he literally says, He has Trump say the group chat, all the killing, all the bombing, it doesn't compare to the racist memes.
People actually believe it's real.
And you know, so just before he pulls up, Ian's talking about how AI videos are going to start coming out.
Bro, I want to stress this.
I think everybody flagged it as an AI gag right away, but there are still people who think it's real.
And I got to stress this: I put out a tweet like two days ago or three days ago where I said, Is there even one reason why we shouldn't take over Iran or Canada for that matter or Mexico?
And it's got like 6,000 responses from liberals who are like, You think you can take whatever you wish with me?
They literally can't understand sarcasm.
They can't.
When your IQ is 85, you don't understand the purpose of sarcasm.
So, their brains just go like dial tone.
And I would argue it's many of the same people.
I will pause real quick and say this.
I also think a large, there's a large probability that many of these people are foreigners.
Because my hypothesis on this, the reason why many people have noticed that irony and sarcasm often is, you get a lot of response when people can't get it is because they're translating what you said.
So, in English context, my joke: is there even one?
I put it into caps.
Argument against taking over Iran or Canada or Mexico.
Anybody who's American is going to be like, duh, like he's joking.
We're not going to invade Canada or Mexico.
Now, imagine if you hit translate on that and you speak Farsi or something.
All you see is there is no argument against taking over Iran and Canada and Mexico.
You don't get any of the American context in language.
I think a lot of times what will happen is kind of like if someone's on a battlefield, you know, you're all about sarcasm and joking, but if you see someone waving what looks like a gun at you and you're already in a panic fight or flight state, you can't really take it as a joke.
And some of these people are so wound right now that they don't see jokes anywhere.
Like Sam Cedar is a perfect example of basically like every time he does a video about me, he intentionally lies about the opinions I have.
So a really great example is I was talking about, I think it was the, it might have been like the Minnesota shooting, and I said, the truth doesn't matter in this regard to the right or the left because the right is going to argue the left is evil and wronged us, and the left is going to argue the right is evil and wronged us.
And what Sam does is he takes the quote, the truth doesn't matter, and then stops, and then says, see, Tim Poole's literally trying to tell his audience just to lie and be evil.
He doesn't try to actually convey the information because he's a scumbag.
He's an evil guy.
He just wants to make money.
He doesn't care about politics.
He's old.
He's just like, whatever gets the clicks and makes me the cash.
I think in 2020, it caused a lot of individuals to lose what we're having right now, which is social interactions.
Everything forced people to be on the screen.
Everything forced it to be whether it's a tablet, a phone, or whatever type of screen.
So that has become their focal point.
They do not know social cues.
They cannot have a normal conversation without it, without it being filtered through a text screen in their mind.
They are able to put any emoji in their brain with anything that's written out there.
So it's constantly being filtered through that garbage because of our failed system in 2020 and so on and so forth to where individuals lack the basic human ability to sit across from somebody and have a meaningful conversation without it being filtered through.
So the issue is for a camera to identify text, you need a data set.
So what they would do is, here's a list of words we know.
And so they'd show you a picture of, you know, it would be like Shillali.
And it would be like bent because it was scanned from a book.
The computer already knows what that word is, and it's trying to test whether or not you are giving it accurate data, not whether or not you're a robot.
It was actually not about if you're a robot, I mean it's an ancillary benefit.
What it was trying to do is the second word we show you, we can't read, and we want a data set on, we want a trustworthy data set on what that word says.
So basically what they were doing was scanning books.
And if the computer said this word is unidentifiable, you'd log into a website, you'd see this thing asking you for a robot, and then you'd say, oh, it says Shillali doorknob.
It knew Shillali.
It didn't know doorknob.
And the purpose of it was to say, if the first word is correct, they likely put in both correct words.
So 4chan created an operation called re-N-word, but not n-word, the actual word.
And they said to exploit the system, the first word is always the code.
The second word can be anything you want it to be.
So what happened was, and I'm pretty sure this actually was confirmed.
4chan started going to every CAPTCHA and they would put in the first word and the second word they would put the n-word.
And so what ended up happening was in some of these natural language processing sites, the N-word started popping up randomly in places where it shouldn't because the computers were being trained improperly because people were exploiting it.
But they quickly fixed it.
So it may just be an urban legend.
The operation absolutely did happen because I remember it was going viral.
People were like, the argument was that CAPTCHA was, ReCAPTCHA was trying to steal labor from people with this method.
They were tricking people into training AI to read books.
Without them knowing and without people getting paid to do it, they were decentralizing the labor.
I believe that X is probably that training algorithm in all the same way.
That is, I would not be surprised if they intentionally have Grok bots tweeting at people, posting at people, trying to generate replies because it trains the AI on these interactions.
Get this.
Why is it then that Elon Musk says your payment is based on the number of replies you get?
Because that encourages people to reply and generate more replies.
So let's say you put up a tweet or an X post and you say, you know, I'm just not a fan of waffles.
And then someone responds with, and you can see a lot of these are bots easily.
Some of them are very obviously bots.
They'll be like, waffles were invented.
And you're like, ignore.
But imagine this.
Grok's AI sees a tweet that says, you know, Donald Trump is doing a decent job, but I'm upset about the war.
It then responds with something that is seemingly nonsensical.
It'll say something like, you know, the war in China, blah, blah, blah.
And then you look at it and you go, what?
What are you talking about?
We're not at war with China.
So you respond with, hey, dumbass, we're not at war with China, correcting the bot.
It then takes that training data and then says, here's where we made a mistake.
And I'm going to back this up once again with another bit of conjecture from this very show where several years ago I pointed out that there is something that I noticed on X where your account will be categorized and attacked by bots based on the perceived alignment that you have, which creates a problem for middle-of-the-road people.
The example being, I was like, because like we're a fairly moderate show, and that means sometimes we're critical of Trump, but largely supportive of him, it's confusing for a bot that's operating under a political alignment binary.
And so what ends up happening is there were numerous instances where I would make a tweet and I would say something like, I just absolutely, you know, Israel is a really great example.
I would say something like, it is absolutely insane that we would be forced into a war because of Israel.
It's about time we cut off, you know, we cut off funding to this country and support for them.
However, because there was a general view, like after I met with Netanyahu or whatever, or because we're typically Israel ambivalent, my account gets categorized in the pro-Israel camp.
So when I criticize Israel, I get blasted by comments that were attacking me for defending Israel.
Literally made a post saying we should stop funding Israel.
And all the replies were like, why should we fund Israel?
You're nuts.
And I said, hey, these aren't real people.
They clearly didn't read the tweet.
It seems like my account is flagged with categories based on some kind of botnet.
And they're responding to the keyword Israel in a post and the presumption my account is pro-Israel, not the substance of that post.
I think if you're benefiting from someone doing something without knowing that they're benefiting you, I think that would call for grounds for somebody to be like, absolutely nothing.
This is why we came under so much ire for defending Karen's.
But our proposal is like, okay, yeah, it is annoying, right?
Karen, you know, when you think of the Karen Phoenix, there is an annoying person.
But the problem is it's like safe edgy, where a lot of people just outsource every problem in like American public life to Karens.
And if you're really being honest, how far up the ladder are, again, middle-aged white moms like an impediment to the functionality of American social life?
Like, is that really think about who's disrupting the retail scene?
They are, they are the there's the meme that I'd love to bring up where the man builds a fence around his house to protect his wife from wolves.
And one day while the wife is out working, the wolf whispers, your husband built this fence to imprison you, tear down these walls and find freedom.
So she does, and the wolf eats her.
The point is, Karen represents to me the uppity, pretentious, white, affluent female that has been so removed from the dangers of the real world that she just demands whatever she wants.
I would agree if that was the like the working definition everyone has, but people just use Karen to like describe, again, like a white woman that just expects like basic standards like when she's out in public.
No, Because a lot of these retailers, dude, the state of retail workers in 2026 is like horrible.
Like it's legitimately, like you go to like a Wendy's, they're like in their pajamas, they're blasting music.
Like the order is always wrong.
They forget your straw all the time.
I mean, that's like the basic level.
So it's like, and then if, and if it's fine if I like got mad, but again, if like Amber Duke got mad, and I hate to sound like a lip tard, but it's like if Amber Duke got mad, look, that's, can you believe that Karen?
The story was there was a black guy in Central Park that was trying to feed a woman's dog and she started screaming and she definitely overreacted and the media like they just went, white women, bad black men, just completely different than a girl walking into a Wendy's and being like you forgot my pickles.
It's like when you think about again a shopping mall and you think about people freaking out in public, is it Karen's the primary person you think of or is it like the video Kangman Lee posted?
Guys, I want to put, I want to, I want to add this video to the mix on this story, and I hate Instagram because they always mute it and you can't play it right from the beginning but I want to play this short like that too.
Where men and women were hooked up to brain scanners as they watched people play a game, they got to see whether the people playing the game were playing fairly or whether they were cheating at the game.
And the people playing were connected to electric shock machines, so electric shocks would go into these people as they were playing and they would measure the brains of the men and women watching.
So every time a player that was playing fairly got an electric shock, both men and women's empathy centers lit up.
Whenever an electric shock would go into a person that was cheating, women's empathy centers lit up, just the same as with the fair playing person, but men's empathy centers did not light up at all.
Actually, their pleasure center lit up super key psychological distinction between men and women.
The point is that the men are the ones who are going to go to the child and they're going to say no, and they're going to whap on the back side of the head.
I believe that through evolutionary biology and psychology, women are effectively one with the baby for a long period of time in a way that men are not.
So men do love their kids.
Don't get me wrong.
And it's a strong and powerful love.
Men will throw themselves into a fire to save their kids and all that stuff.
But I believe that women just have a stronger emotional drive towards their kids.
So the emotional drive to throw yourself in front of the train to save your kid is outweighed by her emotional connection because she was with the child.
For anybody who's walked down the street with their wife and their kids, certainly something I've only experienced in this past year, babies are celebrities to women.
And I've explained this for a while about how cat calling is a phenomenon that affects both men and women of high status.
The question is, what makes a woman high status?
Well, unfortunately for the feminists, it is sexual attractiveness, which means a woman who is sexually attractive has high social market value.
Guys are going to holler at her.
For a guy, it's notability, notoriety.
Now, you could be ultra-wealthy.
So, guess what?
Guys that drive around in super fancy cars, what do you see?
People go up to him and they go, yo, like, what's up?
And guys walk around with crazy chains.
People always want to look at him.
Or how about this?
There's a dude who did a stunt where he went to Times Square and he walked out of a building and hired his friends or hired, but had his friends paparazzi him.
And so they all swim around and start taking pictures.
And he puts his hands up and he's going like this and he's wearing a jacket.
And then he has a fake bodyguard go like this.
Crowds swarmed around because they just wanted to see who it was.
So my point is: like, women, for the most part, are getting cat called by guys because a woman will just be attractive and that's high social value.
But most guys don't experience any kind of cat calling because they don't outwardly express any kind of high social status.
The point is, not a single guy has ever said, oh, what a beautiful child.
Can I take a look?
Not one guy.
I'm in an elevator and an old lady leans back trying to look into the baby carriage.
We're sitting down at a restaurant and the women walk by and they go, Can I take a look at your baby?
That's my point.
Women love babies substantially more than men do.
Men, of course, love their kids.
I'm not saying they don't.
I'm just saying I think it's evolutionary psychology and biology, and it should be patently obvious to every guy that guys like going out and fighting bears.
You know, I mean that somewhat figuratively.
Women like having babies.
It's fascinating the amount of social propaganda you needed to convince women not to have babies.
And then it's funny because I see these videos online on Instagram all the time, and it's like these music is playing and it's the woman with her baby.
There was one earlier where it was a woman who said she always wanted a nose job and now she's glad she never got it because her nose fits perfectly with her baby's forehead and she liked she like put her head to her baby's forehead.
It means obsessive love and their women do have obsessive love for their babies.
Men don't.
My love would be formed as agape, love of the community, where if I see your kid, I'll be like, hey, kid, and then I immediately look around the room to make sure we're all safe because I love that kid and I want it to survive.
Okay, so like, again, the same because both are bad.
So when a woman walks up and tries to touch, or in other words, like can I see the baby?
Yeah, no, you can't.
And a guy doing the same thing, it's there are, there are ways that it can happen where we don't freak out, right?
We're sitting at a restaurant and, you know, she's in a high chair, and then there's an old guy, and he looks over and he smiles and he waves, and then we laugh.
And that's about it.
There are instances where women will walk by and they'll look and say, Oh, your baby is so cute, and that's fine.
But a woman being like, Can I touch or hold your baby?
I think that every time that men have tried to show that, it's been brought back to this mold that no, no, this is what so you're arguing the blank slate of baby love.
The point is, if you take a random man and a random woman and you put them in rooms and a baby in the other room, they can't see starts crying, women who are mothers will begin lactating and the men will probably just get annoyed.
Yeah, I mean, like, I mean, the obvious example, obviously, like, following a divorce is different, but out of wedlock, like 98% of children end up with the mother because the human beings are not aware of the money.
And gender roles and social bias are derivative of the human experience.
The reason why women typically weren't in the workplace is because the structure of human society, when humans were nomadic and in small villages, the men would go out and do dangerous things and the women would be protected because if the women die, you can't have any babies.
If the men die, you only need one guy and you can have more babies, right?
And so women can do what men can do, but typically don't need to.
Men can't do what women do and need to protect the women.
After a thousand years, women stay home, men go work.
They go to the office, women don't.
And then what happens is once you get to a point in society where you have a massive population explosion, which happens around the Industrial Revolution, the expansion of oil products and oil is energy, you have such a massive explosion of population that the stressors of population decline no longer factor in.
Now you've got women who aren't feeling social pressures to get married and have kids.
And this slowly starts shifting to an ever-increasing group of spinsters as a demographic, which results in the suffragettes, a large group of women, not all of them unmarried, but many of them.
And then they're demanding rights to function in society without a husband.
At a certain point, you concede, we got a lot of people that need to be able to live that don't have husbands.
Then you end up with the 70s when all the women go in the workplace.
Women in the workplace correlates like 100% with less babies.
And so, long story short, the social structure is built around like why is that courts favor women getting the babies?
First and foremost, it is fascinating to me how we as society don't know this.
This is a failure on the generations before the millennials to inform the millennials of this.
I'm sorry, I think it's true.
Our schools did not adequately inform in sex ed the function of a mother for the baby.
Like, for instance, mentioning that women lactate if they hear a baby cry.
Not all women, but women who have babies will like a new mother or a woman who's breastfeeding will hear a baby cry and she starts lactating.
Like it's just, it's a response.
Or the fact that the saliva of the baby changes the chemical composition of the milk produced by the mother.
These are things that schools should have taught.
And the reason why now I think you have such this big burst in surrogacy and claims that two gay men can have a baby is because people are not adequately informed as to the requirements a human baby needs.
They need mother's milk.
So they get their antibodies from it and they get perfectly formulated vitamin protein shake.
So you, so formula is fake.
And because people didn't, like, I got to be honest, I didn't know about the saliva thing until I had a kid.
That's why I get so fired up about, and I'm not saying you are making this argument, but the arguments people make that men and women are interchangeable in any way.
It's like quite literally, I can't think of a single instance in which men and women would be interchangeable.
Well, the way it used to be for most of human history is that the baby for like the first year or so is just basically hanging out with mom.
At a certain point, the baby is like the male children are around the dads watching dad, you know, hit a hammer and like, you know, smelt or whatever it is he was doing, chopping wood.
And the girls were hanging out with mom, watching mom churn butter or whatever it is she was doing.
And they were the children weren't.
Here's my thing.
My rule is no kids programming.
This is an invention of the last hundred years and it's mind-warping psychopathic garbage.
Children throughout history did not have children's programming.
They didn't have goofy looking horses dancing around singing hot dog songs with mice, creepy ass, whatever it is.
And so what's happening now is we are raising our generations under the assumption that I got to be honest, guys.
Just seriously answer me this.
What is the logic behind sticking a child in front of a bunch of DMT tripping anthropomorphized animals singing random nonsense like the hot dog song?
I told my wife, the best thing is when we teach our daughter how to play poker because it's basically about learning about math and values and blackjack as well.

And if they're tipping you and you're getting money through there, you don't got to worry about getting banned from banking the way we've seen so many people get banned.
So check it out, wallet.rumble.com.
But for now, let's grab your Rumble Rance and see what you guys got going on.
The legend Dano says the donors will absolutely write those checks.
Remember how Newsom said he was going to raise minimum wage for food workers?
Yet somehow, if you make bread like how Panera bread does, they are exempt.
Also, you've told the story of your friend saying, start a skate park and then we'll help.
Your friends are here.
Keep fighting.
Yeah, the story that I talk about is how back in the day in Chicago, I got all my friends and say, hey, if we all put $100 in right now, we could rent a warehouse and have somewhere to skate in the winter.
And the response from all of them was, you do it and then let us know and we'll think about spending money on it.
It was really difficult, but it was so much fun because when you were leveling up from 1 to 60 in the OG World of Warcraft, it was moderately difficult.
Like there were tasks to be done, but every step of the way had its regions and it had its people, it had its adventures.
So I had friends who were level 60 when I was level 23.
And I couldn't really do much with them because you don't get the experience of they're running you through a dungeon or whatever, but you could get, could you could, you could get gear.
But so usually they just, we would be in, like, I think we used, what was it, Team Speak?
And so back in the day, there were things called instances.
They were, so you've got the World of Warcraft, this big open world game, and there were missions/slash dungeons with bosses with better gear that you could loot off their bodies.
But once you go in, only you and your party can go in and do it.
And so, depending on how good you are at the game, but basically, you need a party of friends to go and do it.
Only problem, how do you find them?
You'd go into forums, you'd go into chat rooms, you'd ask someone else, like, is there a guild?
It was really difficult, but you had to externally figure out how to find a group of people to play the game with.
Yo, I know people who got married playing that game.
And so I'm running around and someone runs by and they got a guild name and they'd say, I was like, hey, you don't got a guild.
You want to join Iris?
And I'd be like, done.
And then they send you the invite.
You join.
All of a sudden, you have a group of people and you go, hey, guys, I'm trying to do, you know, Alderman or something.
And they'd be like, let's see if there's anybody available.
No one's going to be on for a little bit.
And then you're like, this is great.
And then you've got a group of new friends you just met.
And so I remember the first time doing a 40-man raid.
40 people.
And it was crazy because you literally had to find 40 people.
So the guild would put out a message on their website saying, guys, Saturday, 7 p.m., 40-man raid, sign up now.
And then you'd start signing up.
And then we'd go and do like AQ on Karaj.
Or I think Zulfrock was a 20-man.
And it was so much fun.
So much fun.
And here's the crazy thing.
After the raid, the boss drops like two pieces of gear for 40 people.
And so you had to roll.
You had to put type slash roll.
And then whoever got the highest number, they'd first be like, okay, who can use leather?
And it's like the druids and the rogues.
And they'd go, okay, only druids and rogues roll.
And then six people roll.
And then they go, okay, this guy wins.
Here's the gear.
And then you're like, well, I guess I'll have to come back and do it again.
So much fun.
And then I played until Wrath of the Lich King.
And, you know, Burning Crusade, I was like, okay, you know, level cap went up and I'll play.
And it was, it was, it was fun to keep playing, but it was losing its spark.
And then Wrath of the Lich King was really good.
And I didn't really play it too much.
I came back for Warlords of Dronor and was fairly disappointed.
And then I played Legion, and I played Legion extensively.
I unlocked Void Elves, went super nuts with it, but I was getting pissed off because at this point, raids were you click a button and it would randomly assign you to a group of people doing a dungeon and then randomly give out a piece of gear to a random person.
That's sort of why I transitioned away from, I mean, I still game as much as I can, but dude, stuff like this is like so much more rewarding because you're still solving problems and developing equations and beating the boss, which is Jasmine Crockett or whoever.
I'm hoping that this message, like what made the OG World of Warcraft so big, will pursue.
Like there was a server, this is a while ago, that was running what's called like a vanilla version, a classic Warcraft, and it got shut down.
Blizzard, I was going to say Wizards.
Blizzard basically was like, you're stealing RIP, shut it down.
And they were running a private server where you could play the original version of the game because everyone thought the expansion sucked.
So then they were like, okay, we're going to relaunch classic so everybody who likes the original game can play.
And then they just started doing the same thing.
And I'm like, I played it for a little bit and I'm like, no, this is dumb.
This is dumb.
It was fun when I had to go in for the first time into like Team Speak and turn the mic on and be like, hey guys, what's up?
Don't know anybody.
I'm trying to do Ultimate or something.
And they'd be like, yo, what's up?
Where are you from?
And I'd, oh, I'm from here.
You're meeting people.
You're hanging out with people.
That was the only thing that mattered.
That's why it was fun.
You'd be bored in the game.
You'd be like, well, I maxed out all my levels.
I got all the best gear.
And then there'd be people like, yo, bro, I need help.
I'm trying to go get this thing.
Like, let's go.
And it wasn't that the game didn't matter.
It got to a point where you got the best gear, but it was going to hang out with your friends for a menial task, but it was just hanging out with your friends.
We got same old man that says, Tim calling the kettle black, aren't you?
With screaming at politics, but you won't run.
I thought it was self-evident that I was being self-deprecating when I complained about beanie-wearing dudes with folded sleeves complaining on the internet, refusing to run for office.
Literally, the point is there are too many podcasters who complain and don't actually run.
But I got to be honest, like, bro, I mean, I'm in West Virginia and Riley Moore is my rep. I'm chilling.
Like, we're good here.
You know, like, he won and he's doing what we want him to do.
It was a loss the whole time because much I can respect the street-level policing they did, we were hoping that he was going to be more targeting the corruption.
And I guess for whatever reasons, he couldn't or wouldn't do it.
So, you know, everybody wants to, I'm going to say this: everybody wants to attack Dan like crazy.
And I'm like, eh, you can't get mad at someone for not doing you a favor.
You know what I mean?
You can be disappointed and wish that Deputy Bongino was going to do a lot more.
He didn't do it.
Then I say, okay, Bongino keeps rallying the troops, pushing him in the right direction.
I'm not going to hold a grudge against somebody for not doing me a favor.
I mean, and also you have to think of like, you know, what seats are they going to be filling?
Like, just because they're a podcaster that you know that you think has good ideas or whatever doesn't mean, or they have charisma or whatever, doesn't mean that they're in a place where you want them to run.
You're asking someone to uproot their life, go to a new place, and then are the people there going to vote for someone that just moved there to, you know, in order to go to Congress?
One of the things that I don't like about Magic the Gathering now is they've got all the weird expansions where they've got Star Wars characters, I guess, or something like that.
An enemy is fleeing a warship that's shooting at him.
He crosses over into our territory in violation of the treaties we have because it's a ceasefire.
They then bring this guy, and he's a refugee with information dire to the Federation.
And we don't know if we believe him.
The simple version is he says, the Romulans are planning to launch a war against the Federation to violate the ceasefire, and they're doing it from this location.
And I had to tell you to stop this war.
It's going to kill everybody and they shouldn't do it.
And so they go to this planet and they find nothing.
And the admiral who defected is like, I don't understand.
And then all of a sudden, two Romulan warships appear next to the Federation, like in front of, they decloak.
They have cloaking technology.
The Federation does not.
And they get hailed by the captain of the ship.
And he says, you are going to surrender.
Like, we have caught you in the neutral zone territory.
You will surrender as prisoners of war.
And then we will tow your enterprise back to our home planet where we will dissect it and put it on display to inspire Romulans for generations to come.
And then Picard says, that is unacceptable.
And he's like, I will give you 30 seconds to make your decision.
And he goes, I won't need but one.
And he's like, surrender is unacceptable.
Then Tomalok, the other guy, says, think about the men and women that you would lead and sacrifice by your decisions.
And then Picard smirks and says, every man and woman on my vessel would sacrifice their lives if the cause is right.
And then he says, the question is, Tomalock, are you prepared to do the same?
Are you prepared to die today?
And he laughs and says, I'd expect more from you than idle threats.
Picard then goes, and you shall have them, Mr. Wharf.
And then Klingon warships, allies of the Federation, decloak around the Romulans.
And then Tomalok gets all pissed off, realizing he's outgunned.
And he goes, you will not survive our assault.
And then Picard says, and you will not survive ours.
Shall we die together?
And that is one of the most epic lines.
And there's many of them.
And I stress this as much as people are like, Star Trek has done.
I want you to understand the masculinity in a captain of a naval vessel telling the enemy we have outflanked you.
And if you want to mess, if you, I'm going to avoid swearing, but if you decide that you want to fight, we will both die.
Is that what you want?
And I love that.
I love that.
If you think you're going to come at me and my people, I would rather die than let you just take whatever you want.
And I love that.
We don't have enough of that these days.
Because now with the Star Trek garbage that we're getting, it's all this hoity-toity, woke, garbage, feminized trash.
And it's just, it is unacceptable.
For me as a little kid to watch Captain Picard walk up and say, shall we die together?
I was like, wow.
I'm like, that's what it means to be a man.
I would rather lose everything than give you a free shot at taking my people prisoner.
And I'm just like, that is badass.
And now you watch Star Trek and it's ridiculous, woke trash where the women are like, the Federation is colonial and imperialist and engaged in propaganda.
Like the challenge with In the Pale Moonlight is understanding the full context of the next generation into Deep Space Nine and where we're at.
But basically, simple version, because we're talking about a 30-year-old show at this point.
Benjamin Sisko is a military leader.
He's a relatively, like, these are liberal people.
They are like traditional 90s liberal types that believe in freedom and equality.
And presented with the Alpha Quadrant is being invaded, and the Federation is losing the war.
And Cisco decides we have to force the Romulans into the war on our side.
And then they say, surely the Dominion, who they're at war with, is we'll attack the Romulans after we're defeated.
Let's find the evidence.
They can't.
He goes to Garrick, a former black ops guy, who's now a tailor, quote unquote, because he's not really, right?
And he's like, how do we get this evidence?
And he's like, let's try.
And then he comes back and says, there isn't any, but we'll fabricate it.
And then Sisko thinks they're going to fabricate evidence to trick the Romulans, but Garrick actually, the whole plan the whole time was to assassinate the Romulans senator, framing the Dominion, a false flag attack to trick the Romulans into going to war with our enemy.
Like, think about what that means for a show that was predicated upon this liberal beauty of like exploring the galaxy and diversity being our strength to outright admit, because the episode is split between Sisko narrating in his personal log the difficulty that he had to come, like the difficult decision in falsifying evidence to try and trick another nation into going to war on your behalf, but recognizing if we don't do this, we will be destroyed.
And that is something that I think conservatives need to understand right now, and they don't.
They don't get it.
So this is like 1998.
You have a show that is explaining there comes a time in war where your principles will be tested.
Yeah, you can follow me on X and Instagram at Realtate Brown, and I'll be back with you guys tomorrow at noon Eastern for another installation of the Timcast News noon live show.
My point is, over the past like 10 years, our culture has become retarded and gay.
And the things that are being told to children, they are not inspirational.
They don't give you a sense of a grand adventure.
They don't move you.
And that's why you get this stupid bullshit like Relooted, where it's like, we are black people who are mad that our shit was stolen.
So we're going to go rob museums and private collections.
And then you end up with trash like Concorde.
You end up with trash like, again, even to be fair, 10 years ago, you had trash like The Force Awakens.
And you get the last six, seven years of Marvel, which have been so miserably, disastrously bad that they had to bring back Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Emsworth because they're like, everything we've done since COVID has been shit, has been piles of shit.
And these fucking videos from 10 years ago, and Overwatch is dead now, by the way, but this is fucking masterpiece-level, incredible shit.
I think we talked about it like when Halo 3 came out, there was all the advertisement leading up to Halo 3.
Like it was a really big deal.
Like just the they played a 30-second commercial in the Super Bowl and people were going wild for it, you know, and that stuff just doesn't happen anymore.
I think what the sad reality of like what we just watched of those two brothers coming at each other and taking accountability and ultimately trying to find common ground, that whole moral, that whole principle, that whole reality would be completely rejected during the times that we're living in because everything that is being taught about today opposes that idea that at the end of the day, there is accountability and we are brothers.
There was a lot of people that were very against casual players, right?
Like they wanted games that were difficult, but the studios wanted to make games that were easy enough so that way everybody could sit down and everybody could win.
Because if you couldn't finish a game, you didn't feel like you were accomplished and you'd put the game down, you wouldn't keep playing.
And that's not what the studios wanted.
And so the idea of a difficult video game was something that was basically studios became allergic to.
Marvel versus Capcom 2 is the greatest fighting game ever made without a doubt.
What does it have?
Like 52 different characters, some insane amount of characters.
And it's actually difficult to do the combos in that fighting game.
And so I'm 13, hanging out at a comic card shop, and they got Marvel's Capcom 2, and everyone's playing it, and you're trying to get good.
And then my friends got on like Dreamcast.
So in Marvel versus Capcom, like the way it works is you can press down and up and you double jump to the higher screen, or you jump and land at the feet of your opponent.
And then you do like light, medium, down, fierce, knock him in the air, then jump up right away, and then do like light, light, mid, fierce.
And he goes, boom, boom, boom, and then slams the guy into the ground.
But you had to figure out the button combinations to be able to do air combos.
And I had a buddy who was just like a Spider-Man master.
It was nuts.
He'd lock you down.
That game required skill to learn.
And when you got good, you were good and everyone knew it.
And then when Marvel's Capcom Infinite came out, I was like, I got to get it.
I got to get it.
And I was really excited because I love that the what you call it, Thanos.
Well, I would only play Marvel versus Capcom 2 arcade version.
You know, we'd go to the Pizza Factory where we used to live and we'd just, there'd be a line there.
And me and my brother recall there was this young kid, maybe eight, nine years old, and his favorite character was Mega Man.
And no one could beat this kid.
No one could beat him, him with his three characters.
And we would spend two, three, four, $10 trying to beat him.
And it was amazing.
Anytime that I go to arcade stores or arcade places like Camelot or, you know, I don't know what you guys have out here, that is the only game that I will play.
I got a rule with my friends when we play PvP games now.
You play, if there's a bunch of us, you play two games and then you pass the controller, whether you won or lost.
It's a little communistic, maybe, like we're all equal.
But what would happen is one guy would keep winning, and then everyone else would sit and watch and hope to get their turn eventually to lose to this guy.
So, in order to equitize, we would just kind of like DEI.
More like DEI.
We added some DEI to the equation so everyone could get a turn.
First question is: Should we begin ignoring treaties made with defunct states such as the USSR, being that the influence they use to influence the terms doesn't exist anymore?
Well, I think that the U.S., look, whenever you're talking about treaties, if they're ratified by Congress, then it's Congress's discretion as to whether or not you're going to meet the agreement.
But at the end of the day, look, if the U.S. wants to do something, the U.S. can do it, and who's going to do anything about it?
And that's the way that it goes with everything, right?
Russia invaded Ukraine and the whole, all of Europe and the US condemned it.
But Russia still invaded Ukraine and they took Crimea and the whole international community condemned it.
But guess what?
Crimea is staying with Russia.
It's not going back to Ukraine.
The part of Ukraine that Russia currently occupies is likely going to become Russia when this is all said and done.
So, I mean, when it comes to agreements and stuff, there's international anarchy, basically.
States that have power exercise that power, states that don't don't.
And that's just the real politic of the world.
So how far should we go?
We should meet our treaty agreements when it's convenient.
And then when it's no longer convenient or if it's detrimental to the United States, then we break the treaties.
For the second question, which would be the third part, I guess, would be, we deployed active duty Marines in the U.S. in 1921 and again in 1926 nationwide to protect the U.S. Postal Service.
