=== Trump's First Move to Checkmate (01:37) ===

[00:02:47]  The madman has done it.
[00:02:49]  Donald Trump signed an executive order limiting mail-in voting, requiring DHS to round up documents on who is a U.S. citizen eligible to vote.
[00:02:58]  It's kind of a workaround to the SAVE Act.
[00:03:00]  You can see that he's targeting this system because they're not passing the SAVE Act.
[00:03:06]  And without it, Republicans are cooked.
[00:03:08]  They really do need this.
[00:03:09]  I think a lot of Americans really do want it.
[00:03:11]  And the strangest thing is, despite it being one of the most popular bills, like literally of all time, Democrats and Republicans will not pass this thing.
[00:03:20]  Now, Donald Trump, I'm just going to say he does not have the authority as president to just decree you can't have this mail-in voting and that only citizens can vote, despite it being common sense, I guess.
[00:03:33]  So it's likely going to be challenged, but this is the first move Trump is making to checkmate.
[00:03:38]  Well, not the first move, but right now, it is a major move he is making in this Save Act play to checkmate the Democrats.
[00:03:46]  We can look at all the prediction data, all the polling.
[00:03:49]  Sure, it looks like people are not happy with the war, but if Trump wins this fight, oh, it's over.
[00:03:55]  Because as we all know, when it comes to elections, procedure is more important than popularity.
[00:04:01]  And then, of course, my friends, Donald Trump will be attending the Supreme Court hearings on birthright citizenship tomorrow.
[00:04:06]  That's big news.
[00:04:07]  The Supreme Court may once and for all end the insane practice of people coming here on vacation, having a kid, and then leaving, and that kid can be president.
[00:04:17]  They can run for president.
[00:04:18]  That doesn't make sense.
[00:04:19]  They just come and then they're citizens and they leave.
[00:04:21]  Yeah.
[00:04:22]  None of that.
[00:04:23]  So we'll talk about that and a lot more before we get started.

[00:06:14]  Thanks for having me.
[00:06:15]  Who are you?
[00:06:15]  Yeah, what do you do?
[00:06:16]  My name is Priya Patel.
[00:06:18]  I am a political commentator, I suppose.
[00:06:21]  You can find me on pretty much all the platforms aside from OnlyFans, which I think I got called out for not excluding last time.
[00:06:28]  Oh, well, that's good that you're not on that platform.
[00:06:29]  Yeah, definitely.
[00:06:30]  Of all the platforms.
[00:06:31]  Laura, it should be fun.
[00:06:32]  Thanks for hanging out.
[00:06:33]  And then, of course, the boys are here.
[00:06:34]  What's going on?
[00:06:35]  Tate Brown.
[00:06:36]  We got Carter Banks producing and Phil Labanti.
[00:06:39]  What's up, baby?
[00:06:40]  Considering the OnlyFans.
[00:06:41]  I might join.
[00:06:42]  I'm not sure yet.
[00:06:43]  Trying to gauge interest.
[00:06:44]  Well, you know, you do have feet and people like feet.
[00:06:46]  It's true.
[00:06:46]  Considering that Christy Noam's story, which we're going to get into, hey, maybe there are people for you.
[00:06:51]  Yeah, that's another story we'll talk about.
[00:06:53]  Christy Noam's husband wanting to be a bimbo.
[00:06:57]  Is that what it is?
[00:06:58]  He wants to be a bimbo?
[00:06:59]  You know, come on.
[00:07:03]  Is that what it was?
[00:07:04]  Because at first, when I read that story, it's like he was into bimbos.
[00:07:07]  That's what I thought it was.
[00:07:08]  Or like he wanted women to be bimbos.
[00:07:11]  But then there's a quote where he said, call me your girl or call me a girl or something like that.
[00:07:15]  Is it wearing like fake breasts in the picture?
[00:07:17]  Or is that just me?
[00:07:18]  Well, we'll get into that story.
[00:07:20]  We'll start with like the big news.
[00:07:22]  It's funny because we're getting the show started.
[00:07:23]  We're like, is that the big news?
[00:07:24]  It's like, it's just.
[00:07:26]  Big boobs.
[00:07:26]  Big news, big boobs.
[00:07:27]  Big boobs.
[00:07:28]  Okay, anyway, here's the story.
[00:07:30]  What is it?
[00:07:31]  It was impossibly fat milkers, right?
[00:07:33]  Yes.
[00:07:35]  All right, here we go.
[00:07:36]  From CNBC, Trump signs executive order limiting mail-in voting ahead of 2026 U.S. elections.
[00:07:44]  They say President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed the executive order cracking down on mail-in voting.
[00:07:48]  The order will require DHS to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote.
[00:07:54]  It's almost certain to be challenged in court, which could block it from being enforced in time for the midterms.
[00:07:59]  Quote, we want to have honest voting in our country because if you don't have honest voting, you can't have really a nation, if you want to know the truth.
[00:08:05]  I love how he just adds that we call those wasted words.
[00:08:09]  I'm not trying to be a dick, but we call those waiting.
[00:08:10]  You don't need to say that.
[00:08:12]  The list would be sent to each state, and the order directs the attorney general to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of election officials, individuals, and other entities that violate the law by issuing or distributing federal ballots to ineligible voters.
[00:08:25]  The fact sheet says the Postal Service would be required to transmit ballots only to individuals enrolled on a state-specific mail-in absentee participation list.
[00:08:33]  This is where it gets interesting.
[00:08:35]  He does have that authority.
[00:08:37]  He can tell the post office: if you send mail-in votes to people who are not eligible to vote, you will be held to account for this.
[00:08:44]  This is the workaround to the SAVE Act.
[00:08:46]  If they're not going to pass the SAVE Act, this is the Trump gambit for now.
[00:08:50]  Certainly, they will challenge him in court, but I actually think he might win enough to where they can't stop him in time for November.
[00:08:58]  It's tough because, I mean, it's one of those things where with all these, you know, with all these orders, I mean, it's Stephen Miller's cooking these up somewhere in a dark room.
[00:09:06]  Hopefully, dark room.
[00:09:08]  Yeah, dark room down.
[00:09:08]  In the basement.
[00:09:09]  Yeah, it's all you operate.
[00:09:10]  You know, you got to focus.
[00:09:11]  You got to lock in.
[00:09:11]  So he's probably gamed this out, gamed out the strategy that now is the time to sign this because this could buy us enough time for November to actually deploy it.
[00:09:18]  And because the SAVE Act's not going to pass something to get us across the finish line.
[00:09:21]  He timed it specifically for how long it will take to be sued, then appealed, and then get to a federal court.
[00:09:29]  And I think the strategy is they want to get an injunction or they want to overturn any injunctions just before the election happens.
[00:09:38]  So I do think this is part of their strategy.
[00:09:41]  Trump issues this executive order.
[00:09:43]  Democrats know this is going to be bad for them.
[00:09:47]  They're going to file a suit, which could take a month or two.
[00:09:49]  Then it's going to go to court, which takes a month or two.
[00:09:52]  So then they'll put an injunction on it.
[00:09:55]  And then court for a month or two.
[00:09:57]  And then a month.
[00:09:58]  And then they're going to get the injunction overturned, which will be appealed to the Supreme Court or a higher court.
[00:10:04]  But by then, the election is underway.
[00:10:06]  Yeah.
[00:10:07]  Well, at the very worst, it's like just the whole point of it is to be able to withhold federal funding for states.
[00:10:11]  So it's like you just withhold funding for a few months.
[00:10:14]  They've already missed out on that money, the money that they would allocate towards, you know, holes in their budget and that sort of thing.
[00:10:19]  So even if they eventually get it overturned at the Supreme Court.
[00:10:22]  Well, I also think this is a massive win in terms of the court of public opinion because, like we pointed out before, this is a massively popular position among both Republicans, Democrats, and independents across the country.
[00:10:33]  Talking about ID for voting, right?
[00:10:35]  Yeah.
[00:10:35]  And I mean, mail-in ballots are obviously a massive loophole for that specifically.
[00:10:41]  So, I mean, I think overall, this is going to bode well in terms of how the people are going to see it.
[00:10:45]  I think that the administration kind of needs a win at this point.
[00:10:49]  There's a lot of people that are pretty negative going into the, you know, into the midterm season.
[00:10:58]  And I think that the more that the administration can do to limit any kind of fraudulent votes or anything, I think that is something that will, it's not going to make the Black Pillars happy, but it will help placate them.
[00:11:12]  Look, if you can get people that are low-propensity voters to actually turn out, you know, then you might, the Republicans might have a chance of keeping the Senate.
[00:11:23]  I don't think the Republicans are going to keep the Senate right now.
[00:11:24]  I know that they still kind of, I think they have the edge in the betting markets or the prediction markets or what have you, but I don't think that they will.
[00:11:31]  I think that the only way, and I've said this a bunch of times, the only way that the Republicans will keep the Senate and have a chance of keeping the House.
[00:11:39]  This isn't to say they will, but have a chance of keeping the House, is if the economy is doing well.
[00:11:43]  And I think that if the things that are going on in the Middle East pan out properly the way that the administration wants them to, you could see a boost in the economic activity in the U.S. You could see a situation where people are actually feeling better about their own personal situations, which would make them more inclined to go out and vote for the current administration for the Republicans.
[00:12:05]  I don't think that's going to happen.
[00:12:06]  I'm not making a prediction here.
[00:12:08]  I'm just saying the conditions that are necessary for that to happen.
[00:12:11]  I wouldn't be surprised if as we get closer to the midterms, Trump fires off several executive orders, which are increasingly, increasingly, what's the right word?
[00:12:24]  I don't know what the right word is for it, but powerful, perhaps, meaning more impactful.
[00:12:29]  Like right now, this is a big deal.
[00:12:30]  He's telling the post office, you can't transmit these ballots.
[00:12:33]  He's saying you got to collect information on who's eligible.
[00:12:36]  I wouldn't be surprised if as we get closer to the election, he says outright, like, okay, no mail-in voting, no mail-in voting at all.
[00:12:42]  And he sends in feds to certain areas.
[00:12:45]  If the Democrats win and all prediction markets, everything is tracking for Trump to lose this, for the Republicans to lose this, Trump's cooked.
[00:12:53]  It's over.
[00:12:54]  Well, I think it's one of those, I think there's two things here.
[00:12:56]  I think one, Stephen Edgingen made this point on Twitter today where he said it's kind of the Robert Moses strategy in a city planner in New York City, where no matter what any local opposition was, what any court said, he would just plow through different blocks in the city because it's like now when the courts have finally weighed in, it doesn't matter.
[00:13:11]  I've already torn down the block.
[00:13:12]  I've already built what I wanted to build.
[00:13:14]  It's kind of the same idea with what Trump's doing.
[00:13:15]  It's like, if I can just plow this through, plow my policy through before the courts can even react.
[00:13:19]  What are you going to do?
[00:13:20]  It's already done.
[00:13:20]  Like, it's the all deal with the ballroom.
[00:13:21]  They just issued an injunction on the ballroom.
[00:13:23]  It's already torn down.
[00:13:24]  We're already building it.
[00:13:25]  Like, what are you going to do?
[00:13:26]  And that's what people want.
[00:13:27]  I really think that the people that are like, yo, we expected more out of Donald Trump.
[00:13:31]  They want to see him pushing things through.
[00:13:34]  He had a mandate for his agenda.
[00:13:36]  He won the popular vote.
[00:13:37]  He won all the swing states.
[00:13:38]  The American people liked what he campaigned on.
[00:13:41]  And he should be doing as much as he can to push through his agenda.
[00:13:46]  Obviously, Congress, the Republicans in Congress should be doing whatever they can to support that because of the fact that he did win the popular vote and he won the swing states.
[00:13:54]  And it was such a landmark kind of election.
[00:13:57]  But still, he should be doing everything he can, exercising as much power as he can and let the courts throw injunctions at him.
[00:14:05]  Let them do whatever they can.
[00:14:07]  But he should still be moving forward at the maximum pace that he possibly can because that's the only thing that's going to make the people that are his base happy.
[00:14:15]  Yeah, well, that's exactly what he was elected to do.
[00:14:17]  He was elected to be an outsider to essentially be a bulldozer to the system to clean out the swamp and get the agendas actually pushed forward that the American people want, but Congress is too.
[00:14:31]  I mean, we've been, I remember every single night in 2024, we were looking, I would look into the camera, I'd say, Trump, please bomb Iran.
[00:14:38]  It's the only thing I ever wanted.
[00:14:42]  No, there's like, there are these funny posts.
[00:14:45]  There's like the fifth, something weird is going on.
[00:14:47]  Let me put it like this.
[00:14:48]  Something weird is going on.
[00:14:50]  Because there have been these incessant AI slot posts that say the exact same things.
[00:14:55]  They go, I've had it with Tucker Carlson.
[00:14:57]  I've had it with Candace Owens.
[00:14:59]  I've had it with the Hodge Twins.
[00:15:00]  I've had it with Tim Cast.
[00:15:01]  I've had it.
[00:15:02]  And I'm like, well, me.
[00:15:04]  But no, but seriously, I think these are AI slot posts from generic accounts or it's coordinated.
[00:15:11]  And I think the general idea is like a lot of the replies are, why is Timcast being lumped up in with these people?
[00:15:17]  Because the idea is just to disenfranchise the Trump base.
[00:15:22]  So naturally, you already have Tucker, Candace, and a handful of people that are critical of Trump, particularly over the Iran war.
[00:15:27]  Dave Smith's out the door, right?
[00:15:29]  But we're, you know, fairly middle of the road here at Timcast because we're moderate individuals, right?
[00:15:37]  Didn't vote for the war, don't want it, but certainly don't want America to lose, want to make sure that Trump finds a proper path out of this one.
[00:15:42]  And I know that there will be great benefits if he succeeds.
[00:15:44]  But it seems like it's obvious the midterms are coming and every dirty play is going to be played.
[00:15:53]  So what is accomplished by creating these divisive MAGA posts?
[00:15:57]  Well, there's prominent Trump supporters who are responding being like, here, here, yeah, screw those people.
[00:16:02]  You throw in me and Jack Pesobic on that list in an effort to get us inundated with tweets being like, screw you're not MAGA.
[00:16:09]  The idea I often bring up is if you don't offer someone a path forward, they'll take the other direction.
[00:16:17]  So if someone does something wrong and your immediate reaction is, F you, burn, they'll immediately go to the other side because they have nowhere else to go.
[00:16:24]  Me, I have a bit more mental fortitude than that.
[00:16:27]  But this is what the operation seems to be, the coordination seems to be, attack as many people as possible that do support Trump.
[00:16:35]  So it appears as though the Trump base is attacking you.
[00:16:37]  And then you start pushing back.
[00:16:40]  It's a Chinese finger trap problem.
[00:16:41]  You react negatively.
[00:16:43]  Then these people will start attacking Trump supporters and you fracture the Trump base.
[00:16:47]  I think it's also to essentially erode the opinions of the people that actually listen to you too.
[00:16:53]  I mean, if they think that you're lumped in with these group of people, they're just going to start eventually assuming that you also hold the same opinions that they do.
[00:16:59]  And in reality, it's not the case.
[00:17:01]  Indeed.
[00:17:02]  Or to basically generate algorithmic feeds where people who might follow this account are now going to have my name and Jack Pesobic as well, who's very pro-Trump, being lumped in with Candace Owens as if we hold similar opinions at all, which we don't.
[00:17:19]  And then their algorithms will be built upon, they'll start seeing more and more of this AI slop that just, what are they going to do?
[00:17:26]  They're going to see the 18th post where it's like, can you believe what Tim Poole is doing, what Jack Pesobic is doing?
[00:17:32]  And then they're going to be like, wow.
[00:17:33]  And then they're going to, I don't know where they're going to go, but it's fracturing MAGA intentionally, it would seem.
[00:17:40]  Yeah, I completely agree.
[00:17:41]  Yeah, I think there's a contingent of the political, broadly right-wing sphere that wants to see you and wants to see Jack Pesobic lumped in with the Panikin class, for lack of a better word.
[00:17:51]  mannequins well because because i'm the retard right The retard, right?
[00:17:54]  Yeah, I mean, just like whatever you want to call them, because I think you and Jack specifically diverge on a few political points from kind of the rest of the right-wing commentariat.
[00:18:02]  That's really inconvenient for a chunk of, again, the right-wing broadly, and they want to see you guys ejected and viewed in the same way as Candace or as, you know, here's what I think.
[00:18:13]  As I've long stated, my friends, the play is to eliminate independent media.
[00:18:19]  Take a look at the money being dumped into these moderate Democrat candidates trying to kick out the progressives.
[00:18:26]  Take a look at the move they, I'll tell you why my name appears on this list, because I correctly called out the Stephen Colbert hoax with James Tallarico attacking Jasmine Crockett.
[00:18:35]  Despite not liking Jasmine Crockett, the machine state is saying we want to eliminate these independent voices.
[00:18:42]  So I've long argued that, you know, like Candace and Tucker, less so Tucker, but still to a certain degree, he's in a similar political space.
[00:18:51]  They're Pied Pipers.
[00:18:53]  You start generating a bunch of content that will keep you more on the fringes.
[00:18:57]  And then after, you know, the way we described it, we were in Austin is that they open, you know, the way Luke described it, Lukakowski.
[00:19:04]  They opened a door and said, everybody come into this room of great free speech.
[00:19:08]  Inside the room, everyone's screaming Israel.
[00:19:11]  And then after the midterms, they slam the door shut and you guys are locked out of the main ballroom.
[00:19:15]  That's the idea.
[00:19:16]  I think the play is they're going to target any voice that is independent or outside their control.
[00:19:25]  And of course, that includes people like Tucker, but it also includes people like Jack Pesobic or me.
[00:19:30]  And then the play is going to be, you turn on Netflix, you turn on CBS, you turn on, you know, or Paramount or whatever, and there are the approved podcasts.
[00:19:39]  Yeah.
[00:19:39]  Well, I think it's also too is like broadly independent media on the right is trained to be intentionally contrarian because like independent media really got its teeth during the Biden years during like the Biden winter.
[00:19:51]  And so they basically trained the audience to say those four years were called the Biden winter.
[00:19:54]  Yeah, the Biden winter.

=== The Approved Podcasts Playbook (16:15) ===

[00:19:55]  Yeah, it was a horrible time.
[00:19:56]  And it's like because they basically trained the audience for four years.
[00:19:59]  Like any government action is bad.
[00:20:00]  Any government action is bad.
[00:20:01]  You should be inherently skeptical of any executive power.
[00:20:04]  And likewise, the Republicans are exceptionally weak.
[00:20:06]  The Republicans will always backstab you, et cetera, and whatnot.
[00:20:09]  They basically trained an audience, primed an audience to be skeptical of any political power whatsoever.
[00:20:14]  So as soon as Trump gets in, not perfect Iran war, I would say at this point, is an L. Still, 80% of things, best president of my lifetime by far.
[00:20:23]  People are just like willing to freak out and panic and curse Denome husband themselves because they're just like losing their minds.
[00:20:31]  And I think part of it is because the commentariate primed them for this.
[00:20:34]  The commentariat primed them to be constantly skeptical.
[00:20:37]  They almost like fetishized being backstabbed and betrayed.
[00:20:39]  They're like, oh, Trump betrayed me again.
[00:20:42]  Oh, man.
[00:20:42]  It's like they're like into it.
[00:20:43]  I think it's also really difficult because for the common viewer, the news cycle now moves faster than it ever has before.
[00:20:50]  So it's really easy for people to forget the actual wins that we have had under the Trump administration.
[00:20:55]  Like it's very easy to get focused on Iran when it's happening in the moment, but it's really easy to forget all of the, you know, all the deportations and all of the other wins that we've had under the administration so far.
[00:21:07]  Well, I think there's only one explanation, and it's that the people who are in control, the powerful people, the Apstein Island people, they're lizards.
[00:21:16]  They're all actually lizards and they're in on it.
[00:21:18]  And they're just like, you know, if you're not one of us, a lizard person, then you can't hang out.
[00:21:22]  That's too soon to ask.
[00:21:24]  That proves it.
[00:21:25]  I'm trying to get some scales on me.
[00:21:26]  Seriously.
[00:21:27]  Oh, you're a monkey person.
[00:21:29]  Whoa.
[00:21:30]  The lizards.
[00:21:31]  Well, he's white, so I'm allowed to say it.
[00:21:32]  It's fair.
[00:21:34]  Mostly there's lizard people and there's monkey there.
[00:21:38]  Appreciate it.
[00:21:39]  You know, Scottish did invent fried chicken.
[00:21:41]  We invented, yeah, a lot of things.
[00:21:42]  I say chicken tickets.
[00:21:43]  I say we, like Scottish American person.
[00:21:47]  Red hair, you're not.
[00:21:48]  No, it's true.
[00:21:49]  Just don't say little, say we.
[00:21:52]  I know.
[00:21:52]  Well, I'm like, everybody else is like, you know, like Myra Flores, they're all advocating for their home nation.
[00:21:56]  Why can't I start like advocating for Scotland?
[00:21:58]  Like call it like Scott Pack, and then we just start like, you know, funneling monkeys and Scotland.
[00:22:02]  Adrian's Wallet Pack.
[00:22:03]  You know, it's going to be a beautiful thing.
[00:22:04]  As PAC?
[00:22:05]  As PAC.
[00:22:06]  Oh, yeah.
[00:22:06]  That's American Scotland Political Action Committee.
[00:22:10]  Yeah, ASPAC.
[00:22:11]  As PAC.
[00:22:12]  Hey.
[00:22:14]  That was a great spec.
[00:22:16]  Oh, boy.
[00:22:17]  I'm actually into AdjPAC.
[00:22:18]  Adjac.
[00:22:19]  American Japanese Political Action Committee.
[00:22:21]  I'm big on that.
[00:22:21]  I'm big on that.
[00:22:22]  I think I'm long on 51st states.
[00:22:24]  Did you see the one Japanese guy?
[00:22:26]  The Japanese poured pop rocks into yogurt, and then he was like, I just made popping yogurt.
[00:22:31]  I'm like, it's just gem after gem after gem.
[00:22:34]  Oh, they're innovators, man.
[00:22:35]  I know.
[00:22:36]  And like, change the game.
[00:22:38]  Yeah.
[00:22:38]  And like, we kind of woke each other up.
[00:22:40]  We'll do Pearl Harbor.
[00:22:40]  Whoa, whoa.
[00:22:41]  And then we'll do a couple nukes.
[00:22:42]  Well, like, we're helping you.
[00:22:44]  Wake them up.
[00:22:45]  We'll jostle them a little, you know?
[00:22:47]  I think Japan should be the 51st state.
[00:22:52]  At this point, I'm not into adding states personally.
[00:22:55]  Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no, it's good because they'll all vote Republican.
[00:22:58]  If we can trade California, no offense.
[00:23:01]  Okay.
[00:23:01]  But can we swap them physically?
[00:23:04]  Physically, yeah.
[00:23:05]  I would also accept a mass migration of all peoples.
[00:23:08]  You know, so we get every Californian on a boat and every Japanese person on a boat and they swap them.
[00:23:12]  Could be interesting.
[00:23:13]  And then that's how you get San Francisco.
[00:23:15]  It's Japanese here.
[00:23:15]  This is like the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals.
[00:23:17]  Well, but the California government would lead too.
[00:23:21]  It would be like a Taiwan situation.
[00:23:22]  They're in exile.
[00:23:23]  And then we put the Japanese and stall them as the real leaders.
[00:23:25]  But they wouldn't be on East Island anymore.
[00:23:27]  I actually think Japan is much larger than California.
[00:23:30]  Japan's really big, actually.
[00:23:31]  We'll put it over.
[00:23:32]  It's like the size of Maine to Florida.
[00:23:34]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:23:34]  We're already overpopulated as it is.
[00:23:37]  We don't know.
[00:23:37]  If we get rid of the Californians, we're good.
[00:23:40]  I'm with Priya G. There's a lot of people in Texas.
[00:23:44]  California.
[00:23:44]  I'm getting tired of these Californians.
[00:23:45]  I'm not taking a risk.
[00:23:46]  Every one of them.
[00:23:47]  We're going to build a wall around California.
[00:23:49]  I thought we were friends, Tim.
[00:23:51]  Oh, you're there?
[00:23:52]  You're in California.
[00:23:53]  Unfortunately.
[00:23:54]  Okay, there's the door.
[00:23:55]  If you're in California, we're just going to build the wall.
[00:23:59]  California is like the like, it's like the most beautiful state, holding it hostage.
[00:24:03]  Like we need to know, we're going to trade places and I can say it, look at somewhere like Indiana.
[00:24:07]  I grew up in an extra.
[00:24:08]  I'm comfortable saying, like you know, if we, you know, let's do a little trade here.
[00:24:12]  All California communist, you know repetition, put all the Californians in Indiana.
[00:24:15]  Yeah yeah, but like you ever see, you ever hear the thing that if you see a roach, you're not supposed to smash it because it splatters the eggs everywhere.
[00:24:20]  Yeah yeah, if you put all the Californians in Indiana, it'd be like that.
[00:24:23]  Yeah yeah, you just build a wall around it.
[00:24:26]  What put them in the ocean?
[00:24:28]  You could just landlock them and just get a big boat, put all Californians on it and then sink it.
[00:24:33]  Large boats, we're just like fixing California, guys.
[00:24:39]  But, but California is on Ethicity.
[00:24:41]  So is that genocide or is that getting close to it?
[00:24:44]  Hold on, what would we?
[00:24:45]  It's spring cleaning times.
[00:24:47]  What would the word be for killing everyone in a single state that you know?
[00:24:51]  Is there a word for that?
[00:24:52]  You could just put civic cleanse yeah well no no, like there's regicide, responsible governance, wiping out California.
[00:25:02]  Hey guys, I want to talk about this.
[00:25:03]  First, we're going to go back to the, the birthright citizenship thing.
[00:25:05]  But uh, they're launching a manned mission to the moon on april fool's day.
[00:25:11]  Are they doing that on purpose?
[00:25:12]  Well no, they're not going to launch they're, they're talking about it.
[00:25:15]  Then it's not going to happen because this, I think, is the second time that they've they've actually had a window.
[00:25:19]  They're going to be like psych bro.
[00:25:20]  I was watching FOX NEWS and they called it the Artemis.
[00:25:23]  Okay, I was like I was sitting there on the couch like my eyes half glazed over and it was like Martha Mcallum or something.
[00:25:31]  She was like Nasa's Artemis 2 mission will be tomorrow.
[00:25:34]  I was like what, how do you decide?
[00:25:36]  I got this Artemis in my mind.
[00:25:38]  Horrible Artemis, I think triggers.
[00:25:40]  The Artemis 2 mission will take an astronaut crew around the moon.
[00:25:45]  A space policy expert described the long road to launch.
[00:25:48]  You know what I love about this.
[00:25:49]  There's only one reason they're doing it.
[00:25:50]  It's because too many people believe we never went to the moon.
[00:25:52]  So trump's like, can we just go?
[00:25:55]  And they're like it's really expensive to land on the moon and come back.
[00:25:57]  Well, what if we just loop around it?
[00:25:59]  Is that good enough?
[00:25:59]  That should be good enough.
[00:26:01]  Nas is just bummed.
[00:26:02]  That space is Spacex is making them look so bad?
[00:26:06]  Maybe probably yeah, I think this actually has more to do with the UH, building the moon base.
[00:26:11]  So the idea is they want to do a, they want to do a once over with new.
[00:26:15]  So actually, this is the truth.
[00:26:16]  They've got new instruments and new technology to scan the surface understand, you know the appropriate places for a potential moon base and they're going to loop around and scan basically everything so that they can make terminations on a moon base.
[00:26:29]  And they said they're going to see parts of the moon that have never been seen before.
[00:26:33]  Interesting, wasn't there?
[00:26:34]  Isn't there another mission, not actually landing again, but another kind of test mission testing out the new equipment that they have?
[00:26:41]  That's, I don't know, there hasn't been yet, but the the, the big, a year after this current one, they're scrapping.
[00:26:47]  They were supposed to do like issues basically, And we're actually scrapping that and instead doing a man mission.
[00:26:52]  Okay, got it.
[00:26:52]  Got it.
[00:26:53]  Maybe that's it.
[00:26:54]  Bro, this is going to be brutal.
[00:26:55]  It's like a week.
[00:26:56]  I think.
[00:26:56]  What is it?
[00:26:57]  Like four days to get to the moon?
[00:26:58]  It's a couple days to get to the moon.
[00:26:59]  And then they're going to wrap around it, which takes a day and then four days back.
[00:27:02]  Have you ever wanted to be?
[00:27:03]  And then the car plays acting up and you're like, no, no.
[00:27:06]  This is going to be the worst.
[00:27:08]  It's basically eating dust the whole time.
[00:27:10]  Oh, it sucks.
[00:27:11]  Yeah.
[00:27:11]  It's wild.
[00:27:12]  It's kind of beef jerky.
[00:27:13]  I mean, the only actual comfort these guys have is that, you know, if there is some kind of failure, then the sound stage will just open up the door and let them out and they can use the bathroom to get back in and start filming again.
[00:27:25]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:27:26]  In Arizona.
[00:27:27]  They have another union strike in LA again with the Screenwriters Guild.
[00:27:31]  And they're just like, sorry, guys, moon mission's off.
[00:27:33]  You know, this is the crazy thing about the moon denial stuff, though, is that everybody's like, how did they deal with the radiation?
[00:27:38]  And I'm kind of like, they didn't.
[00:27:40]  Like, I don't know.
[00:27:40]  It's kind of an easy explanation.
[00:27:42]  The government let these people get fried.
[00:27:45]  Yeah, and they're launching dogs into space all the time for no reason.
[00:27:49]  Dogs die of fire.
[00:27:50]  Do you guys know about the family that died in the nuclear blast test?
[00:27:53]  Like the little kids were playing by the river or whatever when a nuke went off.
[00:27:56]  You ever heard the story?
[00:27:57]  No.
[00:27:58]  Let me pull that story up.
[00:28:00]  But I love that people still nowadays are shocked that the government's like, eh, it doesn't matter.
[00:28:05]  They launched a moon.
[00:28:05]  When they die, they die.
[00:28:06]  I know.
[00:28:07]  They launched into space and they're like, oh, they did.
[00:28:08]  Downwinders?
[00:28:09]  That was the biggest reason to hate the Soviet Union is they literally just sent that dog up.
[00:28:14]  Yeah, here you go.
[00:28:15]  Yeah.
[00:28:15]  Check this out.
[00:28:16]  Check this out.
[00:28:18]  Blah, blah, blah.
[00:28:18]  5:30, July 16th, 1945, 13-year-old Barba Kent was on a camping trip with her dance teacher and 11 students when a forceful blast threw her out of her bunk bed onto the floor.
[00:28:28]  Later that day, the girls noticed what they believed was snow falling outside.
[00:28:31]  Surprised and excited.
[00:28:32]  They started running out, dancing outside to play.
[00:28:34]  We all thought, oh my gosh, it's snowing.
[00:28:37]  Yet it was warm.
[00:28:38]  We put out our hands and we're rubbing it on our faces and having a good time trying to catch what we thought was snow.
[00:28:43]  Years later, they learned it was actually radioactive fallout from the first nuclear test explosion.
[00:28:49]  Oh, good.
[00:28:49]  Only 12 of the 12 girls that attended the camp, she is the only living survivor.
[00:28:53]  The other 11 died from various cancers, as did the camp dance teacher and Kent's mother, who was staying nearby.
[00:28:59]  Diagnosed with four different types of cancer herself, Kent is one of the many people in New Mexico unknowingly exposed to fallout.
[00:29:05]  So they're known as the Downwinders.
[00:29:07]  And it's funny because people go, but there's so much radiation, you'll die.
[00:29:11]  And I'm like, yeah, I'm not sure the government cares.
[00:29:13]  No, they don't care.
[00:29:15]  But that's pretty evident.
[00:29:16]  Yeah.
[00:29:17]  We only dropped it.
[00:29:19]  It was more than three miles away from the metropolitan area.
[00:29:21]  I don't know what the big deal is.
[00:29:22]  You guys crying about it.
[00:29:24]  They're just like.
[00:29:25]  But I think the argument they're saying is there's so much radiation, you would just die.
[00:29:28]  You're just exploding.
[00:29:29]  But apparently the astronauts on the Apollo mission said that they saw sparkles in their eyes.
[00:29:34]  Oh.
[00:29:34]  That's being blasted by ionizing radiation.
[00:29:36]  Yeah, that's true, but like Buzz Aldrin lived to be a very old man before he passed away.
[00:29:41]  He was like in his 90s, I think, when he passed away.
[00:29:43]  So, I mean, it's not, it's probably not great, but at the same time, I don't think that radiation exposure is actually so bad that you're gonna get cancer when you come back, you know, 10 years later.
[00:29:55]  They had big suits on, too, right?
[00:29:57]  I don't think that those are.
[00:29:59]  I think they're big suits like that because they're pressurized, not because they're going to defend them.
[00:30:02]  And to keep them warm, I think.
[00:30:04]  Well, yeah, I mean, it's cold.
[00:30:06]  Yeah, it says it's, let's see, satellites in orbit get around 25 sieverts per year with thin shielding.
[00:30:14]  And five sieverts is often cited as around half a lethal dose for humans.
[00:30:18]  So spending a couple days moving through it is not actually that much.
[00:30:22]  But I don't know.
[00:30:23]  Look, all I know is I did a Google search and I'm reading what it says.
[00:30:26]  But there are people like, how'd they get through that?
[00:30:28]  And I'm just like, do you think the government cares about individuals?
[00:30:32]  Because I kind of feel like, you know, kind of, but not really.
[00:30:36]  Yeah.
[00:30:36]  And there's like whether you're going to tell Neil Armstrong, like, hey, you'll be cemented in history forever, the first man to walk on the moon, but you might get cancer at some point in the next 50 years.
[00:30:42]  He's like, yeah, I'd probably anyway.
[00:30:44]  Eat McDonald's.
[00:30:44]  Yeah, actually, Buzz Aldrin is currently.
[00:30:47]  As he's eating a burger.
[00:30:48]  What?
[00:30:50]  Aldrin is currently alive.
[00:30:51]  He's 96 years old, and he was the second man to walk on the moon.
[00:30:54]  Well, but to be fair, that's only because the cosmic radiation gave him superpowers.
[00:30:57]  It did.
[00:30:58]  He's actually one of the members of the fantastic.
[00:31:00]  According to a lot of the internet, that's actually because he never went to the moon.
[00:31:04]  I hate the internet.
[00:31:05]  He punched that guy.
[00:31:05]  Remember that?
[00:31:06]  Was that what happened?
[00:31:07]  Oh, that was based.
[00:31:08]  Yeah.
[00:31:09]  Also, okay.
[00:31:10]  The guy was like, you never went to the moon.
[00:31:11]  He went, boom.
[00:31:13]  Also, like, the third guy, we don't even know his name because he got put in the cosmic cuck chair and had to watch the activity.
[00:31:18]  I think they left him up there and spun around and then watched him trot and golf on the moon and stuff.
[00:31:23]  He's just stuck up there.
[00:31:24]  I pissed.
[00:31:25]  I don't know.
[00:31:27]  He got to DJ the car play, though.
[00:31:28]  So he was the driver.
[00:31:31]  Look, you need like the fifth time you've played Nookie by Lib Biscuit, bro.
[00:31:34]  You got to stop playing Nookie.
[00:31:35]  No, this is my thing.
[00:31:37]  You get the golf.
[00:31:38]  I get Nookie.
[00:31:39]  Someone has to be the designated driver.
[00:31:41]  You know, that was his job.
[00:31:42]  Sloshed on the moon.
[00:31:43]  Yeah, there on the drum getting hammered.
[00:31:46]  Probably getting really hammered.
[00:31:47]  Nine or eight.
[00:31:49]  There was a crazy story where I can't remember who it was.
[00:31:53]  Who's that guy who went to space on the ISS and played the guitar and everyone loved him?
[00:31:56]  Apparently, he was doing a spacewalk and he's in the pressurized suit.
[00:32:00]  You can't touch your face.
[00:32:01]  And something got in his eye.
[00:32:03]  So his eyes started tearing up, forming a giant ball of water, tears over his eye.
[00:32:08]  You can't do anything about it.
[00:32:09]  So he can't see.
[00:32:11]  It's just like the tears goop around your eye.
[00:32:14]  Yeah, wild.
[00:32:15]  I feel like, like, I'm just a little different.
[00:32:16]  I think I could mitigate that.
[00:32:17]  Like, I feel like I could just click and I'd be fine.
[00:32:20]  Oh, I know.
[00:32:22]  You've never been to space nor trained for it, but you're certainly better than he is.
[00:32:25]  Yeah, like, I just feel like that just seems like an issue, like, you know, like a normie would have.
[00:32:29]  Like, I think I'm a little bit normal.
[00:32:30]  They got you like a little wing, you know, bang, flip it up, and then like lubricate the eye real quick.
[00:32:35]  You just, no, it's really easy.
[00:32:37]  You go like this.
[00:32:38]  Exactly.
[00:32:39]  Like a little swig.
[00:32:40]  You just slurp it.
[00:32:41]  I don't know.
[00:32:41]  It just seems like a kind of a gay issue to act.
[00:32:45]  Like, let's be honest.
[00:32:46]  Seriously?
[00:32:47]  Oh, you're crying in space?
[00:32:49]  Gay dork.
[00:32:51]  It's so beautiful.
[00:32:51]  It's like a big marble.
[00:32:54]  Seriously, cornball.
[00:32:55]  Cornball.
[00:32:56]  Yeah, astronauts are so dumb.
[00:32:58]  Why are they so great, huh?
[00:32:59]  Yeah.
[00:33:00]  That's right, Taylor.
[00:33:01]  What was an actor?
[00:33:03]  And he's like, it was just crazy, like seeing 7 billion lives.
[00:33:06]  And I'm looking down at it and I'm watching them all happening at the same time.
[00:33:09]  I was like, dude, relax.
[00:33:12]  It's just Cornball City.
[00:33:14]  I mean, unbelievable.
[00:33:15]  And someone should say to him, I'm going to ruin it for everybody.
[00:33:20]  What do they call it?
[00:33:22]  There's like an experience.
[00:33:23]  There's a name for it.
[00:33:24]  When you're in space and you look down, you see the earth, and then people have this profound experience of like everything is just right there.
[00:33:31]  And it's very profound thinking about, you know, 7 billion people living their lives.
[00:33:36]  But I can ruin it for you by reminding you that half of them are taking a dump right now.
[00:33:41]  Yeah, literally.
[00:33:42]  Just all over the place.
[00:33:43]  And then you're going to go, oh, it's like you're, that's right.
[00:33:46]  Right.
[00:33:46]  Like, everybody likes a dog.
[00:33:48]  They're very cute and they're slobbering and laughing.
[00:33:50]  And then it dumps on your floor and you're pissed off.
[00:33:53]  You know what I mean?
[00:33:53]  Yeah.
[00:33:54]  And there's so let me put it this: Luke and I went to the dog cafe, a dog cafe in South Korea because they have a cafe.
[00:34:01]  Well, it's like it tasted great.
[00:34:06]  It's the menu, yeah.
[00:34:07]  No, they uh dogs just run around.
[00:34:09]  Oh, and so you go and you order coffee or a drink and you sit down and then the dogs just go crazy.
[00:34:14]  Now, in the mind of the average person, you're imagining like a golden retriever comes up to you all happy and you pet him and he's like, and then you're like, oh, this is great.
[00:34:22]  That's not at all what it's like.
[00:34:24]  They run in and start running around full speed and they jump up on the table and try biting yourself and you're pushing them away and then they take a dump right there on the floor.
[00:34:32]  This is not an exaggeration.
[00:34:33]  That's exactly what I was picturing.
[00:34:36]  50 dogs with the zoomies running through.
[00:34:38]  The raccoon cafes are fun because those pudgy little fat things just sit there and reach out and go like this.
[00:34:44]  And then you hand them a nut.
[00:34:45]  They like feel almost everything through their hands, so they like spurg out.
[00:34:49]  Like, if you look on your back porch when they're out there, they're like rearranging your furniture.
[00:34:54]  Getting some feng shui.
[00:34:56]  Yeah, I know.
[00:34:56]  I'm like, have you ever seen the video where because so raccoons in Russian, I think, I think it's Russian, they're called washing bears.
[00:35:03]  Because when you give them food, they wash the food before eating it.
[00:35:05]  I know, yeah.
[00:35:06]  And so they gave it candy.
[00:35:07]  They gave it cotton candy, and then it takes it and puts it in the water, and it goes, disappears.
[00:35:11]  Where's my body?
[00:35:11]  Where'd it go?
[00:35:12]  Freaking out?
[00:35:13]  Like, where'd my food go?
[00:35:14]  Just going, so imagine like some aliens come to Earth and they give someone like a delicious filet mignon.
[00:35:20]  And he's like, oh my God.
[00:35:21]  He's like in a desert.
[00:35:22]  He's like, I was so hungry.
[00:35:23]  I'm dying in a bottle of water.
[00:35:25]  And then he grabs a bottle of water and it's gone.
[00:35:27]  And he grabs like, it disappears.
[00:35:29]  He's like, oh, like, that's what the raccoon is like.
[00:35:31]  They're hungry.
[00:35:32]  They live in the wild.
[00:35:33]  They don't have a constant supply of food.
[00:35:35]  And they're like, this is going to be funny.
[00:35:36]  Watch the cotton candy's going to vanish.
[00:35:37]  Poor thing.
[00:35:38]  It's so funny.
[00:35:39]  I'll say one more thing, just because we're on the topic of space.
[00:35:42]  You guys ever see the thing where they put the fake bird on the rock and then the real, there's like a bunch of fake birds and the one real bird came?
[00:35:50]  No.
[00:35:50]  You know what I'm talking about?
[00:35:51]  No.
[00:35:52]  So they were trying to attract a thing in New Zealand, like some kind of bird.
[00:35:55]  So they put a bunch of fake ones, hoping that the real ones will start settling there.
[00:35:59]  But only one real one came.
[00:36:00]  And then it tried macing on one of the fake ones.
[00:36:04]  And so it just lived there by itself, surrounded by a bunch of mannequins, having no idea that these birds were just wooden pegs.

=== Keeping Secrets Private (13:15) ===

[00:36:11]  I like to think that aliens do that to us.
[00:36:13]  Like you'll be out in the street and you'll see like a hot chick and you'll be like, what's going on?
[00:36:16]  And she'll be like, hey, and the aliens, like you're just talking to a mannequin.
[00:36:19]  Yeah.
[00:36:20]  It happened to Mantai Teo.
[00:36:22]  Who?
[00:36:23]  Oh, I got that.
[00:36:24]  You got everyone in the crowd will love that one.
[00:36:27]  Anti-Teo.
[00:36:28]  He got catfish.
[00:36:29]  He was like a starline back.
[00:36:30]  Oh, you have to explain it, but it's like.
[00:36:33]  I think.
[00:36:34]  So here's what I think happened.
[00:36:35]  I think the aliens, this is a joke, by the way.
[00:36:37]  I think the aliens came to Earth and their ship crashed.
[00:36:41]  And then the humans start messing around with it.
[00:36:43]  So then the aliens basically are like, you know, we only did like light reconnaissance on this planet, but now they got access to our technology.
[00:36:49]  So we have no choice but to like come down.
[00:36:50]  So the aliens come down and they go to the president and they're like, look, you can't have this technology.
[00:36:55]  Okay, it's too advanced.
[00:36:56]  And they were like, well, I think we should.
[00:36:58]  And they're like, oh, my God.
[00:36:59]  Okay, well, here's what I'm going to do.
[00:37:00]  We're going to give you cell phones, okay?
[00:37:02]  We're going to give you communications.
[00:37:03]  Your communications technology is going to rapidly progress.
[00:37:05]  That way we can catfish you guys.
[00:37:07]  Yeah.
[00:37:08]  And the president was like, what do we get?
[00:37:09]  We'll give you, I don't know, a rail gun.
[00:37:12]  Okay.
[00:37:12]  All right.
[00:37:13]  Great.
[00:37:13]  Rail guns.
[00:37:14]  And now the reason why we have all these dating apps is because the aliens want to basically do research on our dating habits.
[00:37:22]  And so they can catfish you.
[00:37:23]  Yeah.
[00:37:24]  And you're like sitting there, you're going like, oh, you're so hot.
[00:37:26]  And it's an alien being like, tell him he is very sexy.
[00:37:30]  Yeah.
[00:37:30]  And then you're like into it and you're, and there's like a bunch of dudes gooning off to like alien researchers.
[00:37:36]  Yeah, this is not a good idea.
[00:37:38]  Well, my friends, you have an option.
[00:37:40]  We can talk about the big boobs guy.
[00:37:41]  We can talk about birthright citizenship.
[00:37:43]  Worst TD Tuesday ever.
[00:37:45]  I wonder what they'll pick.
[00:37:47]  Yeah, which one are you going to pick?
[00:37:49]  one guys looks like uh looks like everybody needs to know about where is this stupid even I think they're getting rid of it.
[00:37:56]  I think everyone's embarrassed about the story.
[00:37:59]  It's deleting it.
[00:38:00]  Mast deleting it.
[00:38:01]  Oh, no, no.
[00:38:02]  Just it was on the front page of MediaIte, and now it isn't.
[00:38:06]  And I think it's because, oh, wait, there's more pictures.
[00:38:10]  Oh, my God.
[00:38:11]  Okay, here we go.
[00:38:11]  That sounds awful.
[00:38:12]  Here we go.
[00:38:14]  The moment Tate has been waiting for.
[00:38:16]  Finally.
[00:38:16]  WTF political world erupts a report on Christy Noam's cross-dressing husband.
[00:38:22]  Oh, my God.
[00:38:23]  What is going on?
[00:38:24]  Maybe, you know what?
[00:38:25]  Maybe her dog just shot himself.
[00:38:28]  With this in the household?
[00:38:30]  I mean, she's wearing like, you know, maybe just.
[00:38:34]  Okay, wait, wait, okay, okay, okay.
[00:38:35]  The story is apparently.
[00:38:36]  It's funny because when I was, I was first Or negative times is why is everyone in politics so easy to blackmail?
[00:38:44]  Exactly.
[00:38:46]  That's the dog's last straw and just took himself out.
[00:38:49]  Blame him.
[00:38:49]  So the first, the story that I was first reading, I read that he was into bimbofication.
[00:38:55]  And I could understand the grammatical structure of what that word means.
[00:38:59]  And it said he was talking to hookers with massive tits, impossibly fat milkers.
[00:39:03]  And so at first I was like, oh, so like he wants women who are just like big, massive, bimbo-y women.
[00:39:10]  And then apparently, no, he wants to be one.
[00:39:13]  All right.
[00:39:13]  He just needs a Fox News contract.
[00:39:15]  I think that's what's going on.
[00:39:16]  It's disgusting.
[00:39:18]  Guys, guys, guys.
[00:39:20]  Please stop making fun because the truth is he was outed.
[00:39:24]  And that's wrong.
[00:39:25]  It is.
[00:39:26]  It's wrong.
[00:39:27]  I apologize.
[00:39:28]  The funny thing is, when like liberal lefty commentators get outed, they don't care.
[00:39:33]  Yeah.
[00:39:34]  They're just like, yep.
[00:39:35]  And the liberals just go, like, they'll get made fun of, but they'll go, well, at least my side, we all acknowledge that we're all this way.
[00:39:42]  This is Christy Noam's husband.
[00:39:46]  why is he filming it like this is the look okay i'm gonna say the face between the two pictures So he looks good there.
[00:39:52]  And he's like, let me get a better one.
[00:39:56]  Let me get one of my face and then let me get one of my cross.
[00:39:58]  But that's the, this is the weirdest thing because like he's doing a weird pouty face, but he's just some guy.
[00:40:04]  If he's into like bimbos or bimbofation, bro, you're ugly.
[00:40:08]  Like there's nothing.
[00:40:09]  I don't even like makeup or anything.
[00:40:13]  This is the most low effort cross-dressing I've ever seen.
[00:40:15]  I know.
[00:40:16]  Okay, I'm going to be serious and just say this.
[00:40:19]  The only real issue I take with this is that he is the husband of a Trump admin official contacting hookers for weird fetish stuff.
[00:40:28]  And paying them a little bit.
[00:40:30]  Yeah, listen, listen.
[00:40:31]  I'm not a staunch conservative guy.
[00:40:34]  You know, like I know people who are trans and gay married and I'm just like, just keep it away from kids.
[00:40:38]  Yep.
[00:40:39]  Keep it private.
[00:40:40]  If this dude wants to, you know, put balloons in his shirt and pout in the camera or whatever, just don't do it in public and don't call hookers and film yourself doing it, especially when your wife is a Trump admin official.
[00:40:52]  I have no problem saying ew.
[00:40:54]  You know what I mean?
[00:40:55]  Remember that guy who had the, I was talking about this earlier.
[00:40:58]  He had the tentacle porn on his computer.
[00:41:00]  Yeah.
[00:41:00]  Oh, yes.
[00:41:02]  A quarter of the population.
[00:41:05]  What was his name?
[00:41:06]  I forgot his name.
[00:41:07]  He was like an anti-Trump guy.
[00:41:10]  Earlocker or something.
[00:41:11]  Let me search for that.
[00:41:12]  Exactly what his name was.
[00:41:14]  Who was the, was he a journalist?
[00:41:16]  Yeah.
[00:41:17]  Accidentally posted that.
[00:41:19]  I mean, the tentacle.
[00:41:21]  I mean, at the same time, the last HHS secretary we had.
[00:41:25]  Let's see.
[00:41:26]  Hold on, hold on, hold on.
[00:41:27]  It says Kurt Eichenwald.
[00:41:29]  Yes, in 2017, he took a picture of his computer, and one of the tabs was for tentacle.
[00:41:37]  Yeah, yeah, yeah, Japanese anime porn.
[00:41:39]  And everybody was laughing at him.
[00:41:42]  And he was like, I was only doing it to show my wife.
[00:41:45]  I wanted to explain to her what it was.
[00:41:46]  And I'm like, that is also not acceptable.
[00:41:49]  No, I mean, it's worse.
[00:41:50]  It means you weren't ashamed of this, which makes it.
[00:41:53]  No, no, no.
[00:41:53]  He was arguing he's not into it.
[00:41:55]  It's just that he was trying to prove what it was.
[00:41:57]  And the funny thing is, you know, that's not true.
[00:41:59]  And so, you know, his family at home was going, oh, my God.
[00:42:02]  Because he's like, I'm just going to, honey, please, please, I'm just going to lie and claim I was explaining it to you.
[00:42:05]  And she'd be like, I can't believe you're looking at this stuff, Kurt.
[00:42:07]  What are you wrong with you?
[00:42:08]  It's the same thing with Christy Noam's husband.
[00:42:11]  Apparently, she had no idea.
[00:42:13]  That's what she says, allegedly.
[00:42:15]  She had no idea.
[00:42:16]  You think she knew?
[00:42:17]  I bet that, like, I mean, look, with all due respect to Christian Noam, she got work done.
[00:42:21]  You know what I mean?
[00:42:21]  Yeah.
[00:42:22]  I bet he and her have some crazy Sunday nights.
[00:42:26]  I bet he's like, it's Saturday afternoon.
[00:42:27]  He goes, kids, go out and play.
[00:42:30]  And then he kicks them out and locks the door.
[00:42:31]  And then they put on BDSM gear.
[00:42:34]  And he's like, basketball's out.
[00:42:36]  He puts the basketballs in his shirt.
[00:42:38]  And he's going, oh, Hardy.
[00:42:39]  Above a bimbo.
[00:42:40]  And then she's like, let me beat you or something.
[00:42:44]  She's Mickey Mouse.
[00:42:49]  Oh, come here, honey.
[00:42:50]  I know.
[00:42:51]  I wish I could.
[00:42:52]  And she's Kermit DeFrog.
[00:42:54]  I really wish that I could, in good faith, say that she didn't know about this because I'd like for people to be normal.
[00:43:00]  But I learn more and more every day that people are just so not normal and they're all degenerate freaks.
[00:43:04]  So would I be surprised if she didn't know about this?
[00:43:07]  Not at all at this point.
[00:43:08]  But taking it a step farther, I am personally offended by even people doing this nonsense in private.
[00:43:15]  Well, I do, I can respect that.
[00:43:17]  But my point is largely just like, of all of the things that people do do, like, there are guys who are married to other guys.
[00:43:26]  And so, outside of even knowing what they're doing behind the scenes, or assuming in public, they're outright telling you when they like put their arms around each other and show off their rings.
[00:43:34]  You already, at the bare minimum, this is not the worst degeneracy that exists in society.
[00:43:40]  And so that's why my point is: do you want to be freaky in the sheets or whatever, whatever, just not in public?
[00:43:46]  Like, the fact that he's filming himself and he was sending these photos off, apparently, this is what happens to you.
[00:43:52]  This is what happens, okay?
[00:43:52]  Don't keep your private life to your private self, and then we'll all just pretend you're normal.
[00:43:58]  Yeah.
[00:43:59]  And that, there you go.
[00:44:01]  People just have a problem keeping it private.
[00:44:04]  I mean, especially with the advent of the cell phone, the cameras and cell phones and stuff like that, people just love that you not have the ability to be like, no.
[00:44:14]  That's me.
[00:44:15]  What if her dog just killed himself?
[00:44:17]  I know.
[00:44:17]  That's what happened.
[00:44:18]  Oh, yeah.
[00:44:19]  I shot my dog.
[00:44:20]  Okay, yeah.
[00:44:20]  Yeah.
[00:44:21]  Dog correct.
[00:44:22]  Bro.
[00:44:22]  Okay, but there is something interesting to this in that who leaked this guy's stuff.
[00:44:26]  That's what I was asking.
[00:44:27]  Because these are his selfies from his phone.
[00:44:29]  Which lucky bastard leaked this?
[00:44:32]  Lucky enough to receive those.
[00:44:34]  Now, hold on there.
[00:44:34]  This guy, Christopher, says MAGA is unwell.
[00:44:37]  Now, hold on.
[00:44:38]  Who are you to judge?
[00:44:39]  You got dudes on drugs growing boobs.
[00:44:42]  Yeah, I was going to say he's a failed congressional candidate.
[00:44:44]  He's a lip tard.
[00:44:45]  Yeah.
[00:44:47]  I want to comment and be like, hey, man, don't shame people.
[00:44:50]  He's got pride.
[00:44:50]  I'm sure that he was.
[00:44:52]  He's got pride.
[00:44:53]  She was very vocal about how bad it was that they had a trans woman with her boobs out on the White House a couple years back.
[00:44:59]  Peter J. Hassen says, against all odds, Christy Noam is the normal one in her marriage.
[00:45:04]  Fair enough.
[00:45:05]  The entire GOP is full of degenerates at this point, probably more than Dems.
[00:45:09]  And in this case, all of this is known long before she was appointed.
[00:45:12]  It was an insane appointment, but I don't make the decisions here.
[00:45:15]  Milo has gone on quite a bit about how tons of Republicans are gay.
[00:45:19]  And I think he's.
[00:45:21]  He's right about it.
[00:45:22]  Yeah, about a lot of it is.
[00:45:23]  A lot of it.
[00:45:24]  To be fair, you know, everyone's like, the Trump administration is not angry enough.
[00:45:27]  They need to be getting angrier and growing harder.
[00:45:29]  And it's like, wouldn't you want the DHS secretary to have that at home?
[00:45:33]  That would make you mad.
[00:45:34]  And then you're ready to just take it out on like.
[00:45:36]  No, I think Chrissy Noam's into it.
[00:45:37]  You think she's, oh, I mean, well, she's, she, she's, like I said, like, I'm not trying to be a dick, but she got work done.
[00:45:42]  Yeah.
[00:45:42]  So just imagine the husband like.
[00:45:44]  That's her muse.
[00:45:45]  No, it's not that.
[00:45:45]  It's that they're like, they're a married couple, bro.
[00:45:48]  Like, she's, she, she issues a statement saying, like, we were blindsided by this.
[00:45:50]  I'm like, I really doubt it.
[00:45:51]  I bet they got a dungeon.
[00:45:53]  You know what I mean?
[00:45:53]  Their kids are grown up and moved out and they're old and the dopamine just doesn't hit the same way anymore.
[00:45:58]  You know, they got to level up their game and start doing crazier and crazier things.
[00:46:02]  No, I don't.
[00:46:03]  She didn't think anything of those two balloons sitting in their bathroom.
[00:46:06]  Basketballs.
[00:46:07]  Basketball.
[00:46:08]  Yeah, or whatever it is.
[00:46:09]  Horrifying.
[00:46:09]  It's quite all over.
[00:46:10]  Bimbofication.
[00:46:12]  I mean, I'm sorry.
[00:46:14]  Just like the idea is hilarious to me.
[00:46:17]  Like, a woman is like a normal woman, and then all of a sudden she's like, oh, I'm like, her tits get massive because that's what he said.
[00:46:25]  He didn't say.
[00:46:27]  He didn't say impossibly fat milkers.
[00:46:30]  He said ridiculously huge boobs or something.
[00:46:32]  Yeah.
[00:46:33]  Spilled being a sexual patriot.
[00:46:37]  But again, like, hold on, like, when I was first reading this and I was reading Bimbo Facation, like, I can understand the grammatic, like, breakdown of what that means.
[00:46:44]  I'm imagining they're saying that here, like, her husband is into the idea that women are turned into overly sexualized big team women.
[00:46:51]  And I was like, oh, okay.
[00:46:53]  And then it was like, and then he put big fake.
[00:46:57]  But then he put big fake boobs in his shirt and said, tell me I'm a girl.
[00:46:59]  And I went, oh, that's just something else.
[00:47:02]  This is all some kind of like, this is all some kind of like autogynophilia, right?
[00:47:07]  Like, some kind of variation.
[00:47:09]  But look, look, yes.
[00:47:10]  And, but this, when he, Daniel Horde says the entire GOP is full degenerates.
[00:47:14]  Well, that may be, but at least they mostly keep it private.
[00:47:17]  Fair enough.
[00:47:18]  Like, you know what I mean?
[00:47:19]  Like, you know, if you're a Republican, you're secretly gay.
[00:47:22]  I guess whatever.
[00:47:22]  You know, I don't care.
[00:47:23]  Just, you know, don't bring it around kids.
[00:47:24]  Don't do it in public.
[00:47:25]  The Democrats are having sex in public.
[00:47:28]  Yeah.
[00:47:28]  Well, I. Or if the, what was it, the room that one of the one of the offices or one of the rooms in the Senate.
[00:47:36]  Well, we also, we had a cross-dressing secretary for four years and nobody made it.
[00:47:42]  Nobody knows.
[00:47:42]  He had to make pennies normal.
[00:47:44]  Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[00:47:45]  But he stole women's clothing.
[00:47:47]  Literally stole it from an airbag.
[00:47:50]  Yeah, there's no two times.
[00:47:51]  He was kind of on beast mode.
[00:47:52]  I'm not.
[00:47:52]  That was awesome.
[00:47:53]  He just kept stealing suitcases.
[00:47:55]  I couldn't stop.
[00:47:56]  I got to be honest.
[00:47:57]  Guys, guys.
[00:48:00]  I got to best.
[00:48:01]  I beg for that kind of testosterone in the Republican Party.
[00:48:06]  The willingness to steal exclusive designer clothing from women and then wear it in the White House on camera.
[00:48:16]  I got to be honest.
[00:48:16]  You can make fun of that guy because he's weird and all that, but he's probably got testosterone through his hair's all gone.
[00:48:22]  And he's like, I'm going to outright steal a woman's clothing that she had specifically tailored for her, and I'm going to wear it on camera at the White House.
[00:48:30]  He was also a beast, so it probably stretched it out quite a bit.
[00:48:33]  Oh, for sure.
[00:48:34]  I'm just saying, like, Republicans are sitting here being like, well, I don't know.
[00:48:37]  Democrats will get mad.
[00:48:38]  And Democrats are like, I'm going to steal your stuff and wear it on TV.
[00:48:43]  I'm going to steal it from the airport.
[00:48:45]  Grab your bag.
[00:48:46]  They're scandalous.
[00:48:47]  He got like a slap on the wrist.
[00:48:49]  Yeah, he lost his job, though.
[00:48:50]  Yeah, slap on the wrist.
[00:48:51]  He should have went to prison for stealing luggage.
[00:48:53]  I mean, that's just such a funny thing to do to just keep getting because he got caught every time.
[00:48:58]  Multiple times, yeah.
[00:48:58]  You'd think he'd like get better at it, you know, stealing suitcases.
[00:49:02]  Because every time you go to the airport, you're like, the last bastion of our high trust society really is the luggage carousel because there's nothing stopping you from just taking random suitcases.
[00:49:10]  That always occurs.
[00:49:11]  Zero of law.
[00:49:12]  Every time it takes more than like five minutes, I'm like, someone stole it.
[00:49:14]  Someone stole my suitcase.
[00:49:15]  My Nike duffel bag.
[00:49:16]  I got all my stuff air tagged.
[00:49:18]  Well, you know what I love too is when like you'll check a bag and then when you'll get to your place of destination open it up there's a card in there and it's a DHS card that says we opened your bag and went through it.

=== Big Ping Pong and Instagram (07:02) ===

[00:49:26]  Yeah.
[00:49:26]  And I'm like, okay.
[00:49:27]  That never happened to me.
[00:49:28]  It never happened to you.
[00:49:29]  It happened to me all the time.
[00:49:30]  My bag was like destroyed anyways.
[00:49:32]  They're like, Tim Poole, we are spying on you and we are looking at your stuff.
[00:49:34]  Your underwear is gross.
[00:49:37]  And then I'm just like, well, you know, I don't know.
[00:49:39]  If you travel with firearms, that kind of stuff happens all the time.
[00:49:42]  Kmart?
[00:49:42]  Kmart.
[00:49:43]  Does that still exist?
[00:49:43]  I can't say I've seen one in a very long time.
[00:49:46]  You know, it's four years left.
[00:49:49]  Yeah.
[00:49:49]  I don't actually buy my underwear at Kmart.
[00:49:51]  You know, I got my, truth be told, I got my underwear from Instagram.
[00:49:55]  Oh.
[00:49:56]  Whoa, Instagram underwear.
[00:49:57]  That's right.
[00:49:57]  It's like a thousand percent.
[00:49:59]  I was swiping.
[00:50:00]  I was swiping 90s cartoons like X-Men and Spider-Man.
[00:50:05]  And then I swiped up and it was like, it was like, this is great underwear.
[00:50:08]  And I was like, oh, I clicked by.
[00:50:10]  That's basically how I buy everything.
[00:50:12]  Gotcha.
[00:50:13]  Of course.
[00:50:13]  That UFO, Instagram.
[00:50:15]  Bro, don't you know anything?
[00:50:16]  Those coins right there, actually, that was Fox News.
[00:50:19]  The one where Trump and Biden each become president and each go to prison.
[00:50:22]  I do get like one-shotted by the mobile game ads because they like let you play a little bit of it.
[00:50:25]  And I'm like, oh, how was it done?
[00:50:26]  And then I doubted it.
[00:50:27]  Oh, yeah.
[00:50:27]  You guys got to put that Instagram down.
[00:50:29]  That's all I do.
[00:50:31]  I will say this.
[00:50:33]  If there is one thing that has me begging, begging for the meteor of death, it's when you'll see an ad and it'll be like, you know, there's a bunch of commercials where you'll seek a little guy on a bridge and he'll be shooting his gun and then like zombies will be coming, but then he'll move over to the right and he'll shoot like a gun with a five on it.
[00:50:52]  And when he shoots it, he gets the gun and it's and I'm like, oh, that looks pretty fun.
[00:50:56]  And then there's like a gate coming at you.
[00:50:58]  It says minus 10, but then he's shooting it and then it goes down from negative 10.
[00:51:02]  It goes up to zero and then it goes up to plus 10.
[00:51:04]  And then he goes through it.
[00:51:05]  And now there's 10 soldiers and now they're all shooting the zombies.
[00:51:07]  And then they do something dumb and then they all get killed.
[00:51:09]  And then I'm like, bro, no, I want to play this game.
[00:51:11]  And then you download it.
[00:51:12]  And then right when you start the game, you're this little guy on the bridge and you're moving left and right and you're grabbing the weapons.
[00:51:17]  And I'm like, this is the greatest game I've ever played.
[00:51:19]  And then once you do, it goes mission over.
[00:51:21]  And then it turns into a world-building civilization game where there's timers on everything.
[00:51:25]  And I'm like, no, go back to where I'm the guy fighting the zombies and you can't.
[00:51:29]  It's horrible.
[00:51:30]  And then I go back to Instagram and I send an angry message and I report it and I say, I will come for you.
[00:51:35]  I will find you.
[00:51:36]  Why won't someone just make that game?
[00:51:38]  I know.
[00:51:38]  There's also, no, there's another game where there's a king and he's, he's in, he's in like a tunnel that goes like this and then goes up and then falls into lava.
[00:51:48]  And there's a bunch of blocks moving forward pushing him.
[00:51:51]  And he's like, and he's looking all scared.
[00:51:52]  And then you got to match the blocks.
[00:51:54]  And when you do, he pushes forward.
[00:51:56]  So by, you know, it's like Candy Crush almost where you rearrange the blocks and get three in a row.
[00:52:00]  And if you get him enough, he won't fall in the lava.
[00:52:02]  And I'm like, oh, a time-based candy crush.
[00:52:04]  That sounds fun.
[00:52:05]  So I download it.
[00:52:06]  And what is it?
[00:52:06]  Literally just Candy Crush.
[00:52:08]  There's no king, no lava.
[00:52:09]  They lied to me.
[00:52:11]  I am going to find the studios that make that game and I'm going to knock on their door and I'm going to shake my fist in their general direction.
[00:52:19]  Shake my fist.
[00:52:20]  Cross words.
[00:52:21]  Dude, this is false advertising.
[00:52:22]  I don't accept it.
[00:52:23]  I absolutely do not accept it.
[00:52:24]  It should be illegal.
[00:52:26]  That's right.
[00:52:26]  So true.
[00:52:27]  No, yeah.
[00:52:28]  It's false advertising.
[00:52:29]  It's true.
[00:52:29]  That's why I just stick with Clash.
[00:52:31]  I'm just a Clash guy.
[00:52:32]  Clash of Clans.
[00:52:32]  Clash of Clans, Clash Royale.
[00:52:34]  Clash Royale.
[00:52:35]  I played.
[00:52:35]  I like that.
[00:52:36]  It's gas.
[00:52:37]  That's right.
[00:52:37]  It's been good for like 15 years now.
[00:52:39]  The majority of my life, I've been in a clan on Clash of Clans.
[00:52:42]  Really?
[00:52:42]  Yeah, we're called the Koo Clash Clan.
[00:52:46]  Every like five years, the clan gets nuked and we just have to start from square one.
[00:52:49]  CCC game.
[00:52:50]  Like someone gets beat so bad they report us and then back to square one.
[00:52:54]  Clans players are like diehard.
[00:52:57]  I feel like clansmen or clash players.
[00:52:59]  Clash players, sorry.
[00:53:00]  I think they're both pretty die hard.
[00:53:01]  They're both kind of like.
[00:53:02]  They both die hard.
[00:53:03]  Yeah.
[00:53:03]  I just like they kind of fizzled out, you know, the hoods.
[00:53:05]  Like now the Catholics are reclaiming it.
[00:53:07]  So like clash, it's kind of just for us.
[00:53:10]  You know, it's just for the press.
[00:53:11]  It's just for us.
[00:53:11]  Dude, I think for the boys.
[00:53:13]  I think Instagram needs to be stopped.
[00:53:15]  Whoa, we were just glazing.
[00:53:16]  What's going on?
[00:53:17]  No, because he got hit with another ad.
[00:53:21]  No, but something, something happened.
[00:53:24]  You know, like, so I just became a dad, right?
[00:53:26]  And I'll just keep the story a little bit vague for privacy's sake, but Instagram started showing these videos about kids dying.
[00:53:35]  Oh.
[00:53:36]  And then it started showing them like crazy.
[00:53:38]  And I think it's because there's that story where the dad gets the advertisement sent to his daughter for pregnancy for maternity stuff.
[00:53:46]  And he's like, my daughter is 16.
[00:53:47]  So he calls all angry, stop sending this.
[00:53:49]  And they're like, it's algorithmically generated.
[00:53:51]  So the AI systems figured out that his daughter was pregnant because of the Google search history she was doing.
[00:53:56]  And so I think when you start posting, like, oh, hey, kid, when we start shopping for baby stuff, Instagram automatically will start recommending things that it thinks it wants you to see.
[00:54:05]  Oh, yeah.
[00:54:05]  And so it must be that new parents get glued to these stories about their kids dying because they're scared.
[00:54:14]  And it's, so what happens is unintentionally, a news story will be like a seven-year-old kid fell into the ice and died, or like a three-year-old was hit by a car.
[00:54:21]  And new parents stop and stare at that news story and watch the whole thing.
[00:54:25]  So the algorithm doesn't know what it's showing you.
[00:54:27]  It's just saying this video is loved by new parents.
[00:54:31]  And it starts spam blasting these stories.
[00:54:33]  The other thing it keeps doing is ping pong.
[00:54:36]  Bro, I'm not kidding.
[00:54:37]  Instagram, I think, probably was paid off by Big Ping Pong.
[00:54:40]  And they were like, spam Tim Pool with ping pong videos.
[00:54:43]  That way he'll start playing and promoting it.
[00:54:46]  And then I was getting, I was like, I'm scrolling.
[00:54:48]  I don't like ping pong.
[00:54:48]  Listen, I watch poker videos.
[00:54:50]  I watch action sports.
[00:54:52]  So like skiing, skateboarding, whatever.
[00:54:53]  I'm not clicking on any of this stuff.
[00:54:55]  I'm not interested.
[00:54:56]  And then all of a sudden, I'm getting nothing but ping pong.
[00:54:58]  And I was like, stop, stop.
[00:55:00]  I hate ping pong.
[00:55:02]  And I would click it and be like, stop sending this.
[00:55:04]  I'm not interested.
[00:55:04]  I'm disgusted by this.
[00:55:06]  But it would not stop sending me ping pong videos.
[00:55:08]  It was wild.
[00:55:09]  They're trying to convert you from a skateboarder to a ping pong player.
[00:55:12]  I think they're experimenting.
[00:55:14]  I really, really do.
[00:55:14]  Oh, boy.
[00:55:15]  Facebook was accused of experimenting on its users by sending them things to see if it would alter their political opinions.
[00:55:22]  It's true.
[00:55:23]  That's awesome.
[00:55:23]  Yeah.
[00:55:24]  So I'm like, I bet someone at Facebook was like, we're going to see if we can get Tim Pool to talk about ping pong in a positive light and be into it and promote ping pong.
[00:55:33]  Well, I assure you, I hate table tennis, ping pong.
[00:55:37]  I hate it.
[00:55:38]  I could not hate it more.
[00:55:39]  I used to be ambivalent.
[00:55:40]  I used to not care.
[00:55:41]  And then I go to my search because you press a little magnifying glass and it gives you a bunch of things.
[00:55:44]  And there's like 17 ping pong videos.
[00:55:46]  And I'm just bashing my phone on the table, screaming, never again.
[00:55:51]  You launch a hate campaign against ping pong instead.
[00:55:54]  The algorithm must be stopped.
[00:55:56]  I think they have to be tapping texts or something.
[00:55:59]  It's like no matter what you're going through in life, they just hit you with the most direct thing.
[00:56:03]  There are things that I've spoken.
[00:56:05]  I've never searched, never typed it into my phone, never taken a photo of anything.
[00:56:09]  I've like spoken them, and then I'll get an ad for the exact same brand or something.
[00:56:13]  I was shopping in a Nordstrom once with my brother, and I said something about a specific brand of like swim trunks.
[00:56:20]  And next thing I know on Instagram specifically is an ad for those exact swim trunks.
[00:56:25]  Never have I looked them up or anything of that sort.

=== Conquest vs. Squatters (15:16) ===

[00:56:28]  Yeah.
[00:56:29]  I know how to prevent that.
[00:56:31]  Get rid of Instagram.
[00:56:33]  No can do.
[00:56:35]  Get rid of all the metapros.
[00:56:37]  I don't have an Instagram myself.
[00:56:39]  I don't have, I don't use WhatsApp.
[00:56:41]  I don't have a Facebook page.
[00:56:42]  I don't have any music.
[00:56:44]  Spotify and Apple Music.
[00:56:45]  I do have Spotify.
[00:56:46]  I have Apple Music.
[00:56:48]  I have X.
[00:56:48]  I have a YouTube page, but I don't have Snapchat.
[00:56:54]  I don't have TikTok.
[00:56:55]  I literally shake if I don't watch Instagram Rails for him.
[00:56:58]  Oh, Trump, tomorrow at 9, he's going to give us Trump tomorrow night, he's giving a speech on Iran.
[00:57:03]  So we'll pull that up.
[00:57:05]  I guess we'll watch moon mission stuff.
[00:57:09]  Nobody cares.
[00:57:10]  Trump lost.
[00:57:11]  He got Israel derangement syndrome.
[00:57:13]  He's got a lot of derangement syndrome.
[00:57:14]  It's pretty crazy.
[00:57:15]  I don't know why, but let's jump to this story because it needs to be done.
[00:57:19]  Trump plans to attend oral arguments in Supreme Court birthright citizenship case.
[00:57:24]  That is tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:57:26]  It is going to be amazing.
[00:57:27]  I'm going to be sitting here listening to these arguments.
[00:57:30]  It's going to be a lot of fun.
[00:57:31]  Depending on what time they start, maybe I'll do like a live stream and we can just like listen in and do a listening session where I will explain why the people arguing for it are dumb.
[00:57:43]  So everybody knows the arguments that we've gone over them a million, one times.
[00:57:46]  The Supreme Court's going to hear the arguments.
[00:57:48]  I do not, I'm sorry, there's literally no argument for it.
[00:57:52]  None.
[00:57:53]  None.
[00:57:54]  There is none.
[00:57:55]  Question.
[00:57:55]  Did the founding fathers think that someone from China could bring their kid here, could come here pregnant, give birth, that kid could be president of the United States?
[00:58:02]  No.
[00:58:03]  No, they probably would kill you.
[00:58:05]  Yeah, it's not going to happen.
[00:58:06]  And so after the Civil War, did they think that someone from China should be able to come here, give birth, and that kid can be the president?
[00:58:12]  No.
[00:58:13]  Nope.
[00:58:14]  Nobody did.
[00:58:15]  So why are we doing it now?
[00:58:16]  It makes no sense.
[00:58:18]  And I don't know what argument you're going to have.
[00:58:22]  You're going to have Kavanaugh being like, are there any other countries that have a practice comparable?
[00:58:26]  And they're going to be like, there's like one.
[00:58:28]  Not really.
[00:58:29]  It's like, oh, so why is the United States allowing anyone to bring their children here?
[00:58:34]  Here's the other thing I'll just say about this.
[00:58:36]  Maybe you want to make the argument that in the early days, they did not imagine that planes would exist.
[00:58:42]  So they said, it's fine.
[00:58:43]  If someone's here and the kid is born, the kid's a citizen.
[00:58:46]  Because they viewed it as a 100 times a year thing out of millions of people.
[00:58:50]  That's not really a big deal.
[00:58:52]  But certainly we can reassess today based on modern technology and issue a new ruling and saying, well, based on the ease of access and the illegalities that are surrounding this, notably illegal birth tourism, at this point we can say it's over.
[00:59:07]  Yeah, well, I mean, this is clearly not the intent behind birthright citizenship.
[00:59:11]  Just on its face, anybody can see that.
[00:59:14]  You don't even have to have half a brain cell to understand that.
[00:59:18]  But to say that people can, yeah, just hop, skip, and jump across the border, take a flight over from China, have your kid, and that kid is automatically a citizen is a pretty ridiculous argument altogether.
[00:59:29]  Yeah, and like it's consensus across the entire old world that, you know, it's citizenship by blood, right?
[00:59:35]  You like to have to have some stake to actually become a citizen of the country, some like some level of heritage at some degree, whether it's parents or grandparents.
[00:59:43]  Where in the new world, across all the settler colonies, we have birthright citizenship because like America's unique case with the slaves, but like the majority of these New World countries, I think Colombia is the only one that doesn't actually have birthright citizenship.
[00:59:54]  It was because they were bringing in a lot of immigrants.
[00:59:56]  We needed to settle the frontier as quickly as possible.
[00:59:58]  Just give them the citizenship and send you on your way.
[01:00:00]  Where we're not trying to settle a frontier anymore.
[01:00:02]  We're out of frontiers.
[01:00:03]  So it's just ridiculous.
[01:00:05]  I think the whole world is our oyster.
[01:00:07]  Well, Donroe Doctrine, we might need to keep birthright citizenship.
[01:00:10]  The Donroad doctrine is everything that the light touches belongs to us.
[01:00:14]  To Trump.
[01:00:15]  American Trump is perfect.
[01:00:18]  Well, look, let's be real.
[01:00:20]  When the settlers came to this country, there were people who lived here.
[01:00:24]  I mean, especially with the Spaniards in the South.
[01:00:25]  I mean, the Inc. and the Aztec, they had cities.
[01:00:28]  They had territory.
[01:00:29]  I didn't care.
[01:00:31]  So, like, I'm not saying we should conquer other countries or go to war.
[01:00:34]  My point is.
[01:00:34]  I am.
[01:00:35]  No, no, but this is the point.
[01:00:37]  Unpack.
[01:00:38]  When you say there's no more frontier, and I'm like, that was even when there were other countries, countries were like, I will take it from you.
[01:00:46]  Yeah.
[01:00:46]  So that's my point is the sentiment has changed to where we're like, no, no, we shouldn't invade and conquer other lands anymore.
[01:00:51]  But back in the day, that was like, so who should we conquer?
[01:00:54]  Yeah.
[01:00:54]  Well, I'm just saying, like, as far as unsettled land, but yeah, I agree.
[01:00:58]  I mean, the frontier accurately defined to be just like the next bastion of American greatness.
[01:01:03]  But, bro, Canada is all unsettled land.
[01:01:05]  This is my point.
[01:01:06]  Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, but like.
[01:01:08]  We have unsettled land in the west of the United States still.
[01:01:12]  But we have to do that.
[01:01:12]  But the federal government just claimed it.
[01:01:14]  Yeah, and we don't need like, I think we're good.
[01:01:15]  Like, I think we have enough cities.
[01:01:17]  Like, are we really supposed to just respect that Canada says that the Yukon is theirs because?
[01:01:24]  Yeah, there's not really much they could do about it if they decided to just like take it.
[01:01:27]  How many people live in the Yukon?
[01:01:28]  Like 10.
[01:01:29]  Yeah, not many.
[01:01:31]  And honestly, they'd probably be perfectly fine.
[01:01:33]  We wouldn't notice acquiring them.
[01:01:35]  Well, I mean, Alberta, in and of itself, is about to have a referendum, if I understand correctly.
[01:01:39]  40,000 people in 482,443 square kilometers.
[01:01:48]  That's a lot of people.
[01:01:51]  A lot of land.
[01:01:52]  There wouldn't be a whole lot of.
[01:01:53]  What about the Northwest Territories is probably better, right?
[01:01:56]  Because it's 1.3 million square kilometers with 40,000 people.
[01:02:02]  And it's almost entirely Native Americans who live there, like Indigenous Canadians.
[01:02:10]  Just toss a casino on there.
[01:02:12]  No, no, it's Chipawayan.
[01:02:14]  Yeah, they're like Inuit.
[01:02:14]  Free schools, yeah.
[01:02:15]  And a lot of Inuit.
[01:02:16]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:02:18]  Yeah, just throw somebody at them.
[01:02:19]  They'll be like, yeah, take it.
[01:02:21]  Yo, what is this?
[01:02:21]  Litchco.
[01:02:24]  Yeah.
[01:02:24]  They live in bears.
[01:02:26]  Like Canada just goes, it's ours.
[01:02:29]  And we're just like, okay, it's unsettled frontier, and there are still natives who live there, and they never agreed to this.
[01:02:34]  Yeah.
[01:02:35]  Yeah.
[01:02:35]  I mean, so we're supposed to just agree that, you know what I mean?
[01:02:39]  Like, we're being gentlemanly about it.
[01:02:41]  That's like, well, I mean, yeah.
[01:02:42]  I mean, that's kind of the whole idea.
[01:02:44]  Boring.
[01:02:45]  I know.
[01:02:45]  And it's just like, I'm just putting this week.
[01:02:48]  When the European colonists came to like more so Central and South America, where there actually were the Incan and Aztec empires, big cities.
[01:02:56]  I'm not saying they were good people.
[01:02:58]  They were like flaying people alive and doing other weird things and like chopping, pulling hearts out and stuff.
[01:03:02]  But they had cities, they had kingdoms, they had territory, they had guards, they had structure.
[01:03:06]  And the, you know, the Spaniards were just like, no.
[01:03:10]  It just coughed on them and they all took, like, they all died.
[01:03:12]  Well, to be fair, Cortez was like, you are backwards barbarian savages who mutilate children.
[01:03:17]  We are going to conquer you and stop this from happening.
[01:03:19]  Was he wrong, though?
[01:03:20]  Kind of coked with it.
[01:03:21]  Yeah, no.
[01:03:22]  So like, we know right now there are countries that are doing comparable things.
[01:03:26]  Yeah.
[01:03:27]  But we've lost the spirit of conquest.
[01:03:28]  Yeah, totally.
[01:03:29]  I mean, like, there were estimates from a few different historians on the Aztec Empire, for example.
[01:03:34]  And they were sacrificing humans at a rate that would be comparable to like 3% of the population.
[01:03:40]  So if you took infants, extracted that, it'd be like 1.5% of the population.
[01:03:43]  They were sacrificing.
[01:03:45]  Well, Britain is on track to, by the end of the decade, abort half of all pregnancies, terminated half of all pregnancies.
[01:03:52]  No, no, no, that's only for the white Brits, right?
[01:03:54]  Probably.
[01:03:54]  Yeah, probably.
[01:03:56]  And then in the United States, it's like 25% of all pregnancies end in abortion.
[01:03:59]  So it's like for rates far lower than the rates that were aborting our children in the West, Spain just permanently exterminated pretty much all of them.
[01:04:08]  I'm just looking at Mesopotamian.
[01:04:10]  Obviously, Islam has not lost the spirit of conquest.
[01:04:14]  No.
[01:04:15]  Well, like, it's got a long history of it, actually.
[01:04:17]  But it's not like a proper conquest.
[01:04:19]  It's like they're just exploiting European welfare systems.
[01:04:22]  That's not like an actual base conquest.
[01:04:23]  No, no, no.
[01:04:24]  It's not a problem.
[01:04:26]  The only reason you need armed men to storm the gates is because there are gates.
[01:04:32]  Like during the jihad.
[01:04:33]  Europe opened the gates.
[01:04:34]  That's the point.
[01:04:35]  Exactly.
[01:04:36]  My point is this.
[01:04:37]  It's quite literally a proper conquest.
[01:04:39]  During the jihad, there were towns with no gates.
[01:04:41]  The jihadis just came in and said, This is now Islam.
[01:04:44]  And they were like, oh, I guess.
[01:04:47]  Even if Europe lifted a finger, they could expel all the Muslims tomorrow.
[01:04:52]  They wouldn't have to do a reconquista.
[01:04:54]  It would be quite easy.
[01:04:54]  Most of these people are on the welfare team.
[01:04:56]  It's like not a not a conquest in the sense of even prior Muslim conquests.
[01:05:01]  Like Spain is just incomparable to what Spain is now, where Spain could literally just pass a bill to tell 80% of them to leave and they would have no choice but to leave.
[01:05:09]  I don't think so.
[01:05:10]  Yeah, it would be fairly remigration would be like fairly easy to do because most of it is economics based.
[01:05:15]  Most of these people are there for economic reasons.
[01:05:16]  It's not like the issue is that when a certain portion of your population is dominated by an ideology, you cannot pass a bill.
[01:05:24]  Like our Congress is paralyzed.
[01:05:26]  We have whole cities that have become like foreign cultures.
[01:05:29]  I'm not even talking about Islam.
[01:05:30]  I'm just saying.
[01:05:30]  You've got the Somali community.
[01:05:32]  You've got Dearborn, Michigan.
[01:05:33]  But they only exist because we permit them to exist.
[01:05:37]  I disagree.
[01:05:38]  It would be fairly easy to remove all of them.
[01:05:40]  I disagree.
[01:05:41]  If the government had the willpower to do so.
[01:05:42]  The willpower comes from the voters and the people, and the people are half conquest, conquistadors.
[01:05:49]  I mean, like, are you talking about the U.S.?
[01:05:51]  What?
[01:05:52]  Well, I'm just saying, like, I don't think it's like a, I don't think it's like they've, I don't think they've conquered.
[01:05:56]  They've literally just squatted.
[01:05:58]  I think the more equivalent to squatters would be a better.
[01:06:00]  I guess if you're trying to say, I don't want to give them the credit of the noble.
[01:06:03]  Yeah, because I think my point is this.
[01:06:08]  We've got five people in this room, and we're all going to vote that no one should be allowed in.
[01:06:14]  If five people break in, and then now we're splitting our vote between us and them, we don't have the willpower to get rid of them.
[01:06:22]  We're all going to be like, hey, you can't be in there.
[01:06:23]  They're going to be like, well, we vote against you.
[01:06:24]  It's ours now.
[01:06:25]  Yeah, that's the issue with birthright citizenship.
[01:06:27]  Indeed.
[01:06:27]  And so the issue is when you say, if we had the willpower to do it, you can't have the willpower when the people who are coming to your home are saying outright, I get to vote too, and you, and I vote not to remove me.
[01:06:39]  I agree, but it's just in the West, like at every turn from the United States to Britain to France to Germany have all voted less migration, less migration, get these people out of here.
[01:06:47]  It's the government in and of itself, even these like right-wing parties, which are just like siphons basically for like actual right-wing energy.
[01:06:53]  But my point is to actually carry this out.
[01:06:55]  That's the problem.
[01:06:55]  My point is the reason you have that government is because they are catering to those people, Republicans included.
[01:07:02]  Republicans just said we have to back off mass deportation because it's hurting our Hispanic voter base.
[01:07:07]  Right.
[01:07:08]  Now, that's like the moment when now we're sailing in some degree.
[01:07:13]  There is no great conqueror anymore because you don't need to have one.
[01:07:16]  Right.
[01:07:17]  You don't.
[01:07:17]  That's a fair point.
[01:07:18]  We have no great barriers that need to be trampled by armed men to raise a flag.
[01:07:22]  They literally walked in the country with their flags.
[01:07:24]  They drape their flags over them and throw Molotov cocktails at our police.
[01:07:27]  And then our police go, we can't handle this.
[01:07:29]  And the commissioner goes, listen, half of that guy's family voted for me, so don't do anything about it.
[01:07:34]  Yeah, I guess the point I was making is like, I wouldn't equivalate what would be like a Hernan-Cortez level conquest to like what these people are doing now would be the equivalent to like a homeless squatter in Los Angeles in a decrepit building.
[01:07:44]  It's like all they really did is show up and squat here despite clamoring.
[01:07:48]  My point is Hernan-Cortez showed up and was greeted like a god.
[01:07:51]  They welcomed him in.
[01:07:53]  He walked right in and then just said, okay, it's ours now.
[01:07:56]  Slaughter him.
[01:07:57]  So the point is, the people who come here with ill intent, because I'm a big fan of immigration.
[01:08:01]  I'm a huge fan of immigration.
[01:08:02]  I want to brain drain the whole world.
[01:08:03]  They got to come here legally, though.
[01:08:05]  Legally.
[01:08:06]  So for me, I don't care about race or whatever.
[01:08:08]  I care about the values of a country and whether people want to come here and uphold the values of a country.
[01:08:12]  If they don't, I don't see it as any different than Hernand Cortez, honestly.
[01:08:16]  They thought he was quizzicodal and said the pale-skinned god has returned in a giant vessel.
[01:08:21]  Adorn him with gifts.
[01:08:22]  Bring him to the throne.
[01:08:23]  And then Hernande Cortez is like, yo, they're killing children and they're ripping hearts out.
[01:08:28]  Yeah.
[01:08:28]  Pulls out his sword, pulls out, starts stabbing people.
[01:08:31]  They let him in.
[01:08:33]  Yeah.
[01:08:35]  It's just like, again, it's just, I don't see like the nobility.
[01:08:38]  I don't think even if push came to shove, they would be willing to conquer like that.
[01:08:42]  I think for the most part, these people would get emptied out if you just eliminated the economic incentives from the be there.
[01:08:47]  Right, right, right.
[01:08:47]  But remittances, et cetera, you can't.
[01:08:50]  A lot of them just self-deport.
[01:08:52]  No, But again, the point is you are arguing for a split population to issue a mandate over another portion of the population.
[01:09:02]  Like you said, we could get them to leave if the government had the willpower, but the government is composed of these people.
[01:09:08]  The current government's not.
[01:09:10]  This is the problem of like the GOP electorate is majority white, but they don't behave that way.
[01:09:15]  But because the politicians have Hispanic voters, Trump needs these, but they issued a mandate telling the Republicans to back off mass deportations because they were losing Hispanic voters.
[01:09:26]  Right.
[01:09:26]  So that's why it's like, that's why people are frustrated at like the Myra Flores statement, for example, because it's like, if we just ran up the numbers in the white community, we wouldn't need to basically water down our message.
[01:09:35]  Half of white people are in favor of mass migration.
[01:09:38]  Well, no, the majority of Americans broadly, the general population, are in favor of mass deportations.
[01:09:43]  If you isolated the white population, I'm saying liberals.
[01:09:45]  Half of white people are voting in favor of mass migration.
[01:09:49]  Yeah, whites, it was like, I think it was like 58, 42 for Trump.
[01:09:53]  So, yeah, I mean, it's, but if you like, again, it's a difficult thing because it's just like at a certain point, the problem more so is like a procedural issue.
[01:10:03]  It's like, if we keep voting for the less immigration party and then we get more immigration, then at a certain point, you have to question the entire system at large.
[01:10:10]  Okay, is democracy capable of delivering a result that would hurt the stock market?
[01:10:15]  That's basically the question at play.
[01:10:17]  And the answer is probably no.
[01:10:18]  Like, the market comes first no matter what.
[01:10:20]  The GDP must go up.
[01:10:22]  And migration up until like literally five minutes ago was kind of a cheat code for the GDP because you just brought in like excess spenders, people that were going to spend money, consume money.
[01:10:31]  And now that's starting to like trickle.
[01:10:34]  Yeah, that's not the case anymore, though, especially when you're talking about.
[01:10:37]  I mean, it's about until like five minutes ago.
[01:10:39]  And now some of these governments like in Denmark are starting to react accordingly.
[01:10:42]  And they're saying, okay, this is just stupid.
[01:10:44]  And they can literally people leave when you eliminate a lot of these economic incentives.
[01:10:47]  Because the majority of these people aren't like noble conquistadors.
[01:10:50]  They're literally just leeches.
[01:10:51]  And so if you eliminate, again, if you eliminate the sort of the food supply, so to speak, they just go home.
[01:10:58]  Yeah.
[01:10:58]  Yeah.
[01:10:59]  41% of white people vote Democrat.
[01:11:02]  Yeah.
[01:11:03]  42, 58, 42.
[01:11:05]  63% of Asians, 83% of black voters.
[01:11:09]  White voters, 56% vote Republican.
[01:11:12]  And then there's the middle of the road.
[01:11:13]  And Hispanics.
[01:11:14]  And if you distill the white population for groups that would be considered kind of the heritage American population, it's an even much higher proportion that's voting Republican.
[01:11:23]  Of course.
[01:11:24]  Like the group in the United States that votes the most Republican is English Americans.
[01:11:29]  And that's, you know, would be considered kind of the core group.
[01:11:31]  So like the further out you get from like that Anglo-Protestant core of the United States, as like Warren McIntyre would put it, the more unlikely you are to see voting patterns that would indicate like protecting the border, you know, implementing like Christian values in society and these sorts of things.

=== Christians Soft on Gay Rights (08:09) ===

[01:11:45]  Well, I mean, it's pretty wild to watch like the NBA stuff where they booted that dude from the team and then you had that football player came out and defended him.
[01:11:53]  I will say this.
[01:11:55]  The NBA just basically fired a guy for saying pride events are unrighteous and he serves Christ.
[01:12:02]  Where are all the prominent Christians in every fan?
[01:12:07]  Like, where's Chris Pratt?
[01:12:09]  Yeah.
[01:12:10]  Chris Pratt does commercials for Hello, and he's a massive A-lister celebrity in all the big movies.
[01:12:17]  Why does he not come out and say very calmly and just very nicely, This is wrong?
[01:12:21]  Hey, this is a guy who has an opinion you may not agree with.
[01:12:24]  He didn't tell anybody how to live their lives.
[01:12:25]  He just said that he didn't like it and he's a Christian and we should respect it.
[01:12:29]  Where are the Christians to stand up for this guy who stood up for Christianity?
[01:12:32]  I was arguing with a friend of mine about, well, not really arguing, but I read a friend of mine that is a left-leaning guy.
[01:12:37]  And he's like, well, you know, they have the right to fire and blah, blah, blah.
[01:12:40]  And I replied with, yeah, but do you think it's right?
[01:12:43]  Right.
[01:12:43]  And because that's something the left will do.
[01:12:44]  They'll go ahead and they'll say, oh, well, you know, the companies have the right to do that.
[01:12:48]  Would you want this person with this bad opinion?
[01:12:50]  And of course, he said, would you want a communist or a Nazi working for you?
[01:12:53]  And because you go to the most hyperbolic answer you can come up with.
[01:12:57]  And it's like the point isn't about whether or not they have the right.
[01:13:03]  A company, of course, has the right to decide this person should or shouldn't be contracted with us or what have you.
[01:13:09]  But the point is, do you want to live in a society where someone that expresses their own religious opinions loses their job because of it?
[01:13:19]  Yeah, well, and also that's essentially that company deciding what opinion is and isn't correct.
[01:13:25]  Yes.
[01:13:26]  And also on top of that, I'm sorry, we had to endure as I mean, NBA fans rather, and the players have to endure them celebrating Pride Month and painting BLM on courts and kneeling during the national anthem.
[01:13:40]  There's no problem when people do anything of that sort, but the second that a Christian defends his faith, then it's a problem.
[01:13:46]  And again, it was something that was so mundane, so inoffensive, just saying, look, this is something that I don't agree with.
[01:13:55]  And he lost his job for that.
[01:13:57]  That's totally ridiculous.
[01:14:00]  And again, I'm not saying that companies must, you know, should be forced to hire people that have views that don't align with the company's, you know, whatever their brand or what have you.
[01:14:12]  But at the same time, like we do have a First Amendment that protects not only your right to speech, but your right to express yourself and have your religion.
[01:14:21]  So, where is that same kind of defense for the First Amendment?
[01:14:27]  Again, and if this, like I said, this guy's a friend of mine, but I know that if it were some speech that he didn't agree with, in fact, he's actually probably more wishy-washy on the freedom of speech than at least anyone in this room.
[01:14:42]  And they would never say, oh, you know, this is bad speech.
[01:14:46]  You know, they would always be like, oh, you know, if it's bad speech, this is something that we should definitely, you know, we should limit what people can say on the internet or we can, you know, he's made similar comments to that.
[01:14:57]  And it's just, it's, it's so transparent that it's all about the fact that, well, I'm on the left and this guy is what I consider a Christian or what I consider someone on the right, you know?
[01:15:09]  Well, and it's so interesting because it's not like he was, I mean, I understand that he's a athlete, a public figure.
[01:15:15]  So social media is like an extension of you, but it's not like he was on the court saying all this.
[01:15:20]  He wasn't dragging it into the workplace.
[01:15:22]  It's not like he's a Walmart employee screaming at people to accept them because they're whatever.
[01:15:28]  You know, like he's not dragging it into the workplace.
[01:15:30]  He's not shoving it down the throats of his teammates or, you know, anything of that sort.
[01:15:35]  But that's how it's just taken and accepted.
[01:15:38]  And he's punished for it for essentially no reason.
[01:15:41]  And also, like, I think part of the reason you're not seeing like a lot of Christians go to bat for this guy is because Christians have gotten really soft on the gay, the LGBT issue, like in the last 10 years.
[01:15:51]  Because Christians are, especially evangelicals, are really sensitive to like how they're perceived by the world because they're ultimately evangelicals are like trying to bring people into the church.
[01:16:00]  They're saying, you need to come.
[01:16:00]  You need to come to our church.
[01:16:01]  You need to become a Christian.
[01:16:02]  So it's actually kind of a healthy tendency as they're like worried about putting, like, turning people off.
[01:16:07]  The problem is this issue is so out of step with like what the current consensus is from the world and the country by and large.
[01:16:12]  So yeah, as soon as you say like, yeah, maybe two gay guys getting married, I don't actually view that as a marriage.
[01:16:17]  It doesn't matter how left-wing you are on every other issue.
[01:16:19]  You're going to be perceived as like a right-wing bigot, et cetera.
[01:16:22]  I think the reason you're not seeing a lot of these Christians speak out, again, is because that is the one issue that makes Christians really uncomfortable when they have to speak out on.
[01:16:30]  That's why every time you see a pastor go up to give a sermon over like a passage that discusses homosexuality, they give you like a 15-minute preamble about how they don't hate homosexuals and they apologize for how Christians have treated homosexuals in the past.
[01:16:42]  That's why you see whenever you see the deconversions, right, where people have this like reckoning and they realize, I'm not a Christian anymore.
[01:16:50]  I'm so out of step with like my church, et cetera.
[01:16:52]  Typically the issue you see them cite is how the church treats homosexuals.
[01:16:56]  I mean, Rhett and Link comes to mind where Rhett and Link had this like video series.
[01:16:59]  It was so long ago now, but they were like, I can't be a Christian anymore.
[01:17:02]  I'm leaving the church.
[01:17:03]  And the main reason they cited, out of all the problems people could have with Christianity, out of all the critiques, all like, even if they go through like, you know, the history of the Bible and maybe where they think there's like they could try and poke holes, et cetera, Rhett and Link were like, I had a gay friend and I realized I couldn't hug him anymore.
[01:17:17]  Like if I were like to be true to my Christian colleagues, I couldn't even hug him anymore.
[01:17:21]  So therefore I can't be a Christian.
[01:17:23]  And that just kind of shows you how strong this, like the homosexual issue is and how much pressure there is from the LGBT kind of lobby or community, whatever you want to call them, because Christians are absolutely petrified on this issue.
[01:17:33]  And then in addition to that, people leave the church because they're so afraid of being perceived as a bigot, because that's like, what is the one thing in America that you cannot be above all else?
[01:17:42]  It's a bigot.
[01:17:43]  That's a horrible thing.
[01:17:44]  You do not want to be a bigot.
[01:17:45]  Granted, a lot of people on the right are now just like, I don't care what you call me anymore.
[01:17:48]  But the reality is the vast majority of people, people aren't watching this show, but the vast majority of Americans are still really concerned with how they're perceived.
[01:17:54]  They want to be like, you know, normal.
[01:17:57]  Let's pull this story in light of this conversation.
[01:18:00]  We have this from SCODIS blog.
[01:18:01]  Supreme Court sides with therapist in challenge to Colorado's ban on conversion therapy.
[01:18:07]  So this was big news that dropped today.
[01:18:09]  Course, the only person who didn't agree was Katanji Brown Jackson because anyway, the Supreme Court on Tuesday's in a challenge to Colorado's ban on conversion therapy treatment intended to change a client's sexual orientation or gender identity for young people back to the lower four young people back to the lower courts for them to apply a new standard by a vote of eight to one.
[01:18:28]  The justices agreed with Kaylee Chiles, the licensed counselor challenging the law that ban the ban discriminates against her based on the views that she expresses in her talk therapy.
[01:18:38]  The federal appeals court, Gorsuch wrote, should have applied a more stringent standard of review and under strict scrutiny to determine whether the law violates the First Amendment.
[01:18:47]  But the Supreme Court also strongly hinted the ban would fail that test.
[01:18:50]  Gorsuch stressed that in cases like Chiles, Colorado Chiles, Colorado's ban censors speech based on viewpoint.
[01:18:57]  Because the First Amendment reflects a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely and a faith in their free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering the truth.
[01:19:06]  Gorsuch continued any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an egregious result on both of those commitments.
[01:19:13]  Katanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter.
[01:19:16]  Yep.
[01:19:16]  She argued the majority's opinion could be ushering in an era of unprofessional and unsafe medical care administered by effectively unsupervised healthcare providers.
[01:19:25]  It was always the craziest thing to me that they made conversion therapy illegal.
[01:19:28]  If an individual is gay or trans and decides they want to go to a doctor to stop that behavior, that is their choice.
[01:19:37]  But also, what is therapy if not some sort of conversion?
[01:19:40]  You're clearly going to therapy because you find there to be something wrong with your mental state or physical state even.
[01:19:47]  You're going to therapy to intentionally change or fix that.
[01:19:51]  That is some sort of conversion, is it not?
[01:19:53]  I think therapy is a scam.

=== Therapy for Depressed Guests (03:06) ===

[01:19:55]  I agree.
[01:19:56]  I think therapy is like drug dealing in that here's somebody like it's largely women.
[01:20:02]  They're depressed.
[01:20:03]  They're upset.
[01:20:04]  So they go to therapy and the therapist just affirms everything they're saying and it makes you feel good.
[01:20:10]  And then they say, keep paying me money.
[01:20:12]  You need me.
[01:20:13]  And then people develop a dependency on this social affirmation.
[01:20:19]  Yeah.
[01:20:19]  Well, and I think it's also the rise in therapy has coincided with the rise in things like social media that have taken human interactions out of your daily life.
[01:20:29]  Yep.
[01:20:30]  But I mean, this is just beyond ridiculous.
[01:20:33]  It's not even opinion-based.
[01:20:35]  Like this is in conversion therapy is just stupid on its face as a ban.
[01:20:41]  But for you to not be able to tell a little boy that he's a little boy under the guise of you're going to hurt somebody's feelings or hurt somebody's perceived ideology is just ridiculous.
[01:20:53]  Let me ask you guys something.
[01:20:54]  Do you feel like more people than normal are depressed?
[01:20:57]  Yeah.
[01:20:58]  I do.
[01:20:59]  Yeah.
[01:21:00]  People I know and have known for a long time all seem to have this like low-level depression about everything right now.
[01:21:07]  We talked about this last week.
[01:21:08]  I was talking about this with my wife.
[01:21:12]  Here's how the story started.
[01:21:13]  We went to Frederick because we were like, we had to do some like administrative stuff in Maryland because we saw the properties over there.
[01:21:19]  And then on the way back, I was like, oh, we should go to the liquor store because we used to stop at this liquor store in Brunswick that has the craziest booze.
[01:21:24]  That's where we got all the Pappy and stuff.
[01:21:27]  And then, you know, my wife's like, yeah, she's like, I'll get a great wine and you got, you know, I'll get a nice wine.
[01:21:31]  You can get something for the studio.
[01:21:32]  And I was like, well, nobody drinks anymore.
[01:21:35]  And I was like, there was a point in like 2022 where we had this shelf in the old studio with tons of booze, like really expensive stuff, like $2,000 tequila.
[01:21:46]  And when guests would come in, I'd be like, make yourself a drink.
[01:21:48]  And they'd go, oh, wow.
[01:21:49]  And then they'd make themselves a drink.
[01:21:50]  Slowly after that, people started drinking less and less.
[01:21:53]  And so we stopped restocking because we just had booze sitting there and nobody was drinking it.
[01:21:58]  Then I got to the point where every single guest was like, you know what?
[01:22:00]  I stopped drinking.
[01:22:02]  And I'm not saying drinking correlates.
[01:22:05]  Around this time, people seemed to be having less and less fun as well.
[01:22:10]  And maybe it is drinking, I don't know.
[01:22:12]  But it used to be that before the show, it was shenanigans.
[01:22:18]  Guests would come, they'd bring a bunch of people with them.
[01:22:20]  Then there'd be like, we'd show them Chicken City.
[01:22:22]  There'd be people playing games, watching movies.
[01:22:25]  There'd be people skateboarding.
[01:22:26]  Now it's like everybody feels largely like to a lower degree depressed.
[01:22:32]  Not just, you know, around here.
[01:22:34]  It's like people are kind of like, I don't know.
[01:22:36]  But the guests we bring on don't drink anymore.
[01:22:39]  People are kind of like, well, you know, I'm just going to, I'm just going to head out.
[01:22:41]  People don't stick around.
[01:22:43]  It feels like, and again, I know, like, maybe it's just us, but whatever, but I've experienced this at restaurants, the places we used to go hang out in Frederick.
[01:22:50]  Not as fun anymore.
[01:22:51]  No, like the people there seem to, the energy is gone.
[01:22:55]  There's not as many people at the arcade.
[01:22:57]  It feels like people are generally depressed about everything right now.

=== Young Men Longing for Spouses (15:20) ===

[01:23:01]  Yeah, well, you have to look at it.
[01:23:02]  Like drinking for the most part is a social, that's something you do when you're socializing.
[01:23:07]  It's more of a, it's not an upper per se, but it's something that you do to, you know, let loose and get a little rowdy, for lack of better words.
[01:23:15]  I feel like this is correlation to the rise in, you know, smoking and vaping and things like that, too, which are, I mean, pretty anti-social behaviors.
[01:23:24]  If I would have to assess it.
[01:23:27]  I think it's the internet.
[01:23:29]  Yeah, that's.
[01:23:29]  The internet's ruined everything.
[01:23:30]  And we need a nuclear war.
[01:23:36]  We need scattered EMPs everywhere that wipe out the grid and send us back to the 1800s so that we're forced to have community again and then we'll be happy.
[01:23:46]  Yeah, what if there was just like a virus that mass uploaded to every piece of technology?
[01:23:51]  It actually almost happened.
[01:23:52]  It was called DNS cash poisoning.
[01:23:54]  Yeah.
[01:23:55]  That was a huge exploit that was discovered in like the 2000s, I think, that could have shut the entire internet down.
[01:24:02]  Yeah.
[01:24:02]  Part of the problem is this is one of the cases where like Fox News, primetime television is more correct than like anybody else in this.
[01:24:10]  It actually is liberalism.
[01:24:12]  Like liberalism in and of itself, specifically for young men, which have like the highest depression rates as far as like reporting, clinical depression.
[01:24:21]  The reason for that is because it eliminates all things that young men are supposed to be doing, which is at least pursuing greatness in the sense of pursuing some way of cementing yourself in the history books.
[01:24:30]  It was like Sam Hyde had a joke about how 100 years ago, an autistic dude would be going through his town and documenting every beetle in his town.
[01:24:38]  And he'd be like this great, you know, like documenter of beetles and that sort of thing.
[01:24:41]  And he had a beetle named after him.
[01:24:42]  And then now he's just grinding hours on like Factorio or something like that.
[01:24:47]  And there's truth to that.
[01:24:48]  It's because every avenue for a young man that would typically be there that would allow them to do great things has been completely shut off.
[01:24:54]  Likewise, every empire throughout history, every civilization that opened the most doors to young men to be able to do great things.
[01:25:00]  Like think about the British.
[01:25:01]  I mean, when the British went out and conquered the world, it didn't just happen organically.
[01:25:05]  It's because they opened those pathways up for young men to be able to go out and conquer new lands and these sorts of things.
[01:25:10]  The United States did something similar.
[01:25:11]  And now all of those are removed where liberalism, again, it strips away every identity that you even have.
[01:25:17]  It like reduces you to a blank slate.
[01:25:19]  Therefore, the only like accomplishment you can ever even have is like these like micro goals that are like permitted.
[01:25:24]  Like, oh, I got a promotion, these sorts of things.
[01:25:25]  But it has no like, it doesn't give you the fulfillment that you need as a young man.
[01:25:29]  And this is men are especially miserable and just tap out.
[01:25:31]  I actually think a big piece of it, too, is that we don't have families.
[01:25:34]  Yeah.
[01:25:34]  That's part of it.
[01:25:35]  So one of the things I see with a lot of the, a lot of the people that I know from like back home, like where I grew up, who are still there, some of them have kids and are miserable, don't get me wrong.
[01:25:46]  But a lot of people that I know from all walks of life who are in their mid to late 30s with no family feel, I see like this minor depression.
[01:25:54]  And I'm like, I think it's because humans are supposed to have families.
[01:25:58]  And it was this old trope that when you got older and had kids, you didn't have friends anymore.
[01:26:03]  And it was like lamented.
[01:26:04]  But the reality was, you spent time with your family.
[01:26:07]  Yeah.
[01:26:07]  Like you don't want to go to the bar and meet up with the boys.
[01:26:10]  Like you want to take your wife and kids out to go to the lake and have a picnic, and that's what your enjoyment is.
[01:26:15]  So you don't really need to have these big social outings, but you do a little bit sometimes.
[01:26:19]  Well, now the problem is everybody's old.
[01:26:22]  I've had a bunch of friends and colleagues who have died already.
[01:26:25]  I'm 40.
[01:26:26]  And so it's not as pronounced.
[01:26:29]  It's a parabolic curve.
[01:26:30]  But as you get older, more people you know die.
[01:26:33]  And, you know, I was just shouting, rest in peace to Dan Kaminsky because I just looked him up and it's sad because he died a few years.
[01:26:40]  He died five years ago.
[01:26:41]  And he's the guy who solved DNS cash poisoning.
[01:26:44]  And I'm thinking about like five years ago, 10 years ago, the adventures, the crazy stuff that was going on.
[01:26:51]  And I was thinking, you know, it's not so much that great people are retiring or dying or checking out.
[01:26:57]  It's that there isn't this passionate older generation like millennials who are excited to pass on what they've learned to a younger generation because there's no younger generation.
[01:27:09]  Yeah, well, and also when you take away the aspect of family and children, what exactly are you living for to a certain extent?
[01:27:16]  Like you have no legacy.
[01:27:17]  If you're essentially just going to die off, and then, you know, at some point, you're literally just, you know, people are living for the weekend.
[01:27:23]  Like you go, you go through, you go through life, ah, work this, that, the other.
[01:27:27]  I can't wait until Friday night where I can be a degenerate and do whatever.
[01:27:31]  But that's essentially all people.
[01:27:33]  Put big balloons in your shirt.
[01:27:34]  Awesome.
[01:27:35]  Exactly.
[01:27:36]  And also, like, specifically with young men, is you're seeing this weird situation happen, specifically with like conservative men, where it's the same problem, but the solution is what we think we want to hear from young men.
[01:27:48]  Is they're pursuing family and like marriage and children, but they're pursuing it so hard that it's like that is the goal in and of itself.
[01:27:56]  Where it's like a family, having a family should be an outcome of a great life.
[01:28:00]  Like you're performing well in life.
[01:28:01]  You're doing well.
[01:28:02]  Therefore, you have a family.
[01:28:04]  Pursuing it creates this problem that's like scarcity mindset, where you like you start to approach life with this scarcity mindset and you'll just take whatever I can get.
[01:28:13]  And what that's resulting in is a lot of men and also women, like, because I know a lot of young women that are desperate to get married.
[01:28:19]  And the problem is when you're desperate to do something, you're just going to take what's available to you.
[01:28:24]  And the problem is now you're ending up with these men and women.
[01:28:26]  Young people I know are ending up in really horrible situations where they're married and it thinks they married the wrong person.
[01:28:32]  And I hate to say it, but it's true.
[01:28:33]  My dad would always tell me, never buy a car in a hurry.
[01:28:36]  Yeah.
[01:28:37]  Yeah.
[01:28:37]  That's the idea.
[01:28:38]  It doesn't, you know, because women are cars.
[01:28:40]  Yeah.
[01:28:40]  So it's this scarcity mindset.
[01:28:42]  So what's happening is young people half of a person.
[01:28:46]  And three quarters.
[01:28:48]  Three quarters.
[01:28:49]  And so it's screwing over a lot of not screwing over because it's a good situation.
[01:28:55]  But young men that should be pursuing something great, they realize that's cut off to them.
[01:28:59]  So they're like, the only way I'm ever going to like have any like print, any proof I was alive would be if I have children.
[01:29:06]  So they become desperate.
[01:29:07]  And then the desperations would hurt you.
[01:29:09]  But women are men these days.
[01:29:10]  That's the problem.
[01:29:11]  Is that for a Gen Z guy who's like, I want to find a wife, you go and find a wife and she's like, well, I have a career.
[01:29:19]  And it's like, okay, well, I want to find a wife who wants to be a mother.
[01:29:22]  And that's harder because of social pressures on women.
[01:29:26]  They have been raised.
[01:29:27]  Millennials and Gen Z men have been raised to be told, you should not be a mother, you should be a CEO.
[01:29:32]  Yeah, young men and young women have split completely opposite directions.
[01:29:36]  Whereas, yeah, women have been become hyper-masculinized, like in terms of their goals being a career, putting off family, I mean, maybe forever.
[01:29:45]  And certainly they're not aspiring to have kids as much as they should.
[01:29:49]  And now young men are reverting back to traditionalism, to conservatism, to religion.
[01:29:55]  They're wanting families.
[01:29:57]  And the women aren't adding up to that.
[01:29:59]  So yeah, like if the market is scarce, you do become a little desperate.
[01:30:03]  Yeah.
[01:30:03]  So it's not, that's why I'm not really, I'm just observing this trend happening.
[01:30:06]  I'm not really blaming people for ending up in that scarcity mindset.
[01:30:09]  It's just natural.
[01:30:10]  And there's not really, this is, this is the black people.
[01:30:12]  There's not really like a solution for it outside of like drastic measures that probably won't happen in our lifetimes, like banning the internet or something.
[01:30:18]  And so like part of the problem that you're seeing is there are young men and are young women, sorry, there are young men and are young women who would make great husbands, would make great wives, and they're out there and they're like longing for a spouse.
[01:30:30]  They just can't find each other because all the institutions that would have facilitated them meeting are dead now.
[01:30:34]  The churches, by and large, I mean, I know there's like the headlines in the New York Post, like men are flocking back to Christianity.
[01:30:39]  If you look at the data, Zoomers are like the least church generation.
[01:30:42]  I'm sorry, it's just the reality.
[01:30:44]  Like schools, a lot of people are opting out on college or people are having pretty miserable college experiences.
[01:30:48]  So they're not really meeting in college.
[01:30:49]  The only ways these people are meeting are like bars or like the dating apps, which is the overall majority are dating apps.
[01:30:54]  The problem is the people that have the temperament to be like a really good spouse are really put off by dating apps.
[01:30:59]  They hate dating apps and they're miserable on there.
[01:31:01]  That's why leading to even more depression, more black pillars.
[01:31:04]  Yeah.
[01:31:04]  That's why what you do is you go to the supermarket and you know, you're like, you're walking and there's like, you know, there's a woman and you're like, you know, I want to meet her.
[01:31:14]  And then you, you, you drop something.
[01:31:15]  Oh, excuse me.
[01:31:16]  I'm sorry.
[01:31:16]  I just like, oh, sorry about that.
[01:31:18]  Hey, by the way, my name is Tate.
[01:31:19]  Nice to meet you.
[01:31:20]  You know, just Sunday shopping.
[01:31:23]  You live around here.
[01:31:24]  The problem is, to your point, where, and this is the point you make all the time, and it's true, is like, this is the smallest generation, you know, of the modern world.
[01:31:31]  Well, not Gen Z. Gen Z is the same size as Millennials.
[01:31:33]  Right.
[01:31:33]  And Alpha is microscopic.
[01:31:34]  It's getting smaller and smaller.
[01:31:35]  Where I'm just walking around and I'm like, everyone's really old.
[01:31:38]  Everyone's really old.
[01:31:39]  And also the areas that are more, the areas that are more conservative are older.
[01:31:43]  Like the cities are where all the young people are, and then everyone's living.
[01:31:46]  How old are you now?
[01:31:46]  25.
[01:31:47]  You are supposed to be surrounded by 17, 18-year-olds.
[01:31:50]  But for real, the way it usually is supposed to go is 40 million of one generation, 60 million of the next, 80 million to the next.
[01:31:59]  And so for millennials to go 80 million and then Gen Z is 80 million, this is where it stops.
[01:32:06]  And now Gen Alpha is getting smaller.
[01:32:08]  My prediction was that there will like, let me just put it this way: Sabrina Carpenter can sell out an arena.
[01:32:16]  Metallica can overflow stadiums.
[01:32:19]  I don't think we are going to have generational person.
[01:32:24]  So I'm going to say this.
[01:32:27]  When I was looking at Dan Kaminski, rest in peace.
[01:32:30]  I was thinking about like the great minds of this generation and the people that exist today.
[01:32:36]  We are not going to see this as much with Gen Z and we're not going to see it with Gen Alpha, not because there won't be great minds.
[01:32:42]  There will be prominent personalities.
[01:32:44]  But the issue is millennials aren't.
[01:32:47]  I'm sorry, guys.
[01:32:48]  Millennials aren't going to be like, yo, put on that new Sabrina Carpenter.
[01:32:52]  Let's rock.
[01:32:53]  You know, sorry.
[01:32:55]  I've got Three Dog Night.
[01:32:57]  I've got The Clash.
[01:32:58]  I've got Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam.
[01:33:01]  I was just playing Yellow Lead Better for my daughter because that song was going viral and it's a great song.
[01:33:08]  I'm not going to put on Sabrina Carpenter and we're going to like jam to espresso.
[01:33:11]  All of the songs from when I grew up, they affect the boomers, Gen X, and Millennials.
[01:33:16]  There's a massive compounding group.
[01:33:20]  And so like, you've got classic rock.
[01:33:21]  Gen Z has access to a lot of classic rock stuff too, but the Gen Z artists will not resonate with millennials the way that millennial artists will.
[01:33:30]  And that means Gen Z artists are going to market only to Gen Z, whereas millennials have access to basically every market.
[01:33:39]  To put it simply, a stadium promoter, he goes, the stadium says, like, hey, who should we book for the stadium to play music?
[01:33:48]  Because we want to make money.
[01:33:49]  And they go, Sabrina Carpenter.
[01:33:51]  And they say, okay, who's that?
[01:33:53]  She's a massive celebrity.
[01:33:54]  I mean, she's a Gen Z superstar.
[01:33:56]  Wow.
[01:33:56]  How many tickets does she sell?
[01:33:57]  10,000.
[01:33:58]  They go, we have 80,000 seats.
[01:34:00]  No, no, no.
[01:34:01]  What else do we have?
[01:34:01]  You got Eminem.
[01:34:03]  What does he sell?
[01:34:04]  50?
[01:34:04]  Okay, now we're cooking.
[01:34:05]  What else do we got?
[01:34:06]  You'll sell out if you do Metallica.
[01:34:08]  Let's book Metallica.
[01:34:09]  Yeah.
[01:34:09]  You're not going to see people like Sabrina Carpenter propped up at the highest levels because millennials are going to go not interested.
[01:34:16]  Do we think that's because of the internet?
[01:34:17]  Because Gen Z is the first generation that actually grew up with the internet.
[01:34:21]  I feel like most millennials can still remember life prior to the internet being so prevalent.
[01:34:26]  Maybe, but it's because the way it used to work is the boomers would have a rock band.
[01:34:31]  They'd listen to Zeppelin.
[01:34:32]  And there's 80 million boomers.
[01:34:35]  So when they sell tickets to Zeppelin, when these people are now in their late 20s, early 30s, and they have money, they pack the stadium.
[01:34:42]  But millennials are bigger.
[01:34:45]  So boomers die a little bit.
[01:34:46]  There's about 60 million now.
[01:34:47]  They start retiring.
[01:34:48]  They don't care to go to shows.
[01:34:49]  There's 80 million millennials, and the promoters go, listen, if we're going to book a stadium, let's take a look at like the millennial market's 80 million, the boomer market's 60 million.
[01:34:58]  Do the millennials.
[01:34:59]  Now millennials are 80 million.
[01:35:00]  Gen Z is 80 million.
[01:35:01]  It's the same.
[01:35:02]  And they're saying, eh, we can get Gen X and Millennials on Smashing Pumpkins.
[01:35:06]  So we're not going to Sabrina Carpenter.
[01:35:08]  In 10 years, there's going to be microscopic Gen Alpha, Gen Z, and they're going to say, Look, we can get between Gen X and Millennials, 100 million people to sell tickets.
[01:35:21]  Nobody wants to see a Gen Z artist.
[01:35:23]  There's no, so if you had a Gen Z artist, the younger generation is listening to them.
[01:35:28]  So with Smashing Pumpkins, Gen X was like, let's go.
[01:35:31]  And then I was a little kid going, let's go.
[01:35:33]  So then when we're older, we're all watching.
[01:35:35]  Now you've got a smaller generation.
[01:35:37]  So when Sabrina Carpenter pops up, there's no young people.
[01:35:39]  There's only 40 million Gen Alpha.
[01:35:41]  So when they're like, between Gen Z and Gen Alpha, we've got 100 million potential market.
[01:35:48]  Millennials, Boomers, Gen X, we still have 150.
[01:35:51]  So let's go where the money goes.
[01:35:54]  So for the first time in the past 100 years or 200 years, culture is stagnating intentionally because there's not enough individuals in the younger market to buy into new culture.
[01:36:05]  Well, I think we've probably had this discussion before, but I think a lot of it is because tastes are democratized now.
[01:36:12]  So the thing with Zoomers is not only are the palettes, if they're more diverse, they're able to access that music more easily because of Spotify, because of streaming.
[01:36:19]  You don't just buy the album, you don't listen to the radio anymore.
[01:36:21]  You just go and listen to whatever you want to listen to.
[01:36:22]  So people diverge and their interest and their tastes.
[01:36:24]  You don't build cult followings like you used to.
[01:36:26]  You don't build cult followings and the radio can't dictate who a star is.
[01:36:29]  It's impossible to build.
[01:36:30]  Well, that's that's not true.
[01:36:31]  They can't build a superstar anymore.
[01:36:33]  They could, but it doesn't work.
[01:36:35]  Spotify and Pandora and Apple Music absolutely control what music is in rotation.
[01:36:41]  100%.
[01:36:43]  I don't know anyone that listens to like top 50 hits in Spotify.
[01:36:45]  When you go into a rental car or in a Tesla, when you pick up the radio station, it's got the modern hits streaming and you have to select something else.
[01:36:53]  I think most people are doing their own thing, though.
[01:36:55]  That's true.
[01:36:56]  But I suppose the difference is with like radio, you had 10 radio stations, now you have infinity radio stations.
[01:37:03]  So people can navigate away.
[01:37:05]  They are dictating who will be on the charts by making streams happen by putting them on default rotation.
[01:37:11]  Yeah, I think that's true.
[01:37:12]  But it's not impactful.
[01:37:13]  It's not culturally.
[01:37:15]  I think while you are largely correct, we've talked about it.
[01:37:17]  I do think the issue largely has to do with, bro, I got to be best.
[01:37:22]  I put on the radio, I know what bands I'm listening to.
[01:37:24]  I'm an old man.
[01:37:26]  I have no interest in like, I might hear a new song and be like, oh, that's pretty good.
[01:37:30]  Well, and a point.
[01:37:31]  But I'm going to put on Pearl Jam.
[01:37:33]  And a point, well, and a point everyone misses on this issue specifically is like the reason why, and people, this is going to be controversial, but it's true.
[01:37:40]  A large reason why genres like rock are supposedly dying out is because it's a conspiracy to shut down our people's music.
[01:37:46]  Well, no, that, but that's kind of actually the point is that, yes, Zoomers are like the most diverse generation in history, like half non-white.
[01:37:54]  So that's why, again, like Latin artists are huge.
[01:37:57]  It's not just, it's not, it's actually organic.
[01:37:59]  Like Zoomers, a large proportion, the largest proportion so far of Zoomers, it's like 30% of Zoomers are historically.
[01:38:05]  No, I think while your points about ethnicity and birth and all that stuff are true, the fact that in movies, in order to hit a certain tone, they have to use rock songs proves that rock actually is the dominant popular culture, but is being suppressed.
[01:38:20]  Yeah, there's they did that.

=== Rock Music Suppressed Culture (12:51) ===

[01:38:22]  They did that movie with Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown, the robots, and the soundtrack was Guns N' Roses or something.
[01:38:29]  And I was sitting there being like, bro, this is 80s music.
[01:38:31]  Right.
[01:38:31]  Well, because like, because if you're in Hollywood and you're, you're trying to make like a very American-feeling movie, it's.
[01:38:38]  But it was for kids.
[01:38:39]  It was a movie for kids.
[01:38:41]  When Marvel did Iron Man, they did ACDC.
[01:38:43]  Yeah, because it's still supposed to be like a name me the movie where they're culturally American.
[01:38:49]  And I'm saying, and then saying Gen Z, a lot of Gen Z isn't culturally American.
[01:38:52]  They're culturally other.
[01:38:54]  Yeah, but this movie was an international film for kids.
[01:38:57]  It was CGI robots.
[01:38:58]  People in China are watching Iron Man.
[01:39:00]  They're thinking, that's America.
[01:39:01]  Holy crap, that's so American.
[01:39:03]  It's not like a globe.
[01:39:04]  It's appealing to the globe, and that's why I see a lot of people.
[01:39:06]  What I'm saying is in terms of a soundtrack that captures an emotion, when you have a robot jumping out of the sky and he's about to slam onto the ground, they're playing Guns N' Roses.
[01:39:15]  When he starts fighting, it plays Welcome to the Jungle because the statement, Welcome to the Jungle, resonates with a robot punching other robots.
[01:39:21]  Yeah, and I think it's just, I mean, yeah, I think it's primarily because it's like a culturally American movie.
[01:39:28]  People love American culture.
[01:39:29]  But this is my point.
[01:39:30]  If that was the case, rock would be on the top of the charts all the time.
[01:39:34]  So that's my point, is that the majority of Gen Z isn't culturally American anymore.
[01:39:38]  So then I think you're missing my point that when they make a new movie for young people, but they put Guns and Roses in it, they're saying that the emotion required in this is rock, but then for some reason, they won't put new rock songs on Apple's default player.
[01:39:51]  Yeah, because I think because the movie is culturally American, Apple player is not.
[01:39:58]  Yeah, because the movie's for Gen Z. What are we missing here?
[01:40:01]  They made a movie for Gen Z and for little kids.
[01:40:02]  Like when Hispanic is rock music.
[01:40:03]  When like a Hispanic person or a black person is going to watch Iron Man, they're like, this is a very white movie.
[01:40:09]  Like Tony Stark's white.
[01:40:10]  It's like a culturally white American.
[01:40:12]  They made a billion dollars.
[01:40:13]  Yeah, because people like people of California.
[01:40:16]  Why do the movies use 80s and early 90s rock and Apple and Spotify won't put rock in the default in the default modern hits?
[01:40:24]  Because culturally American sells like in Hollywood.
[01:40:27]  Hollywood is still like, that's like, that's the preeminent culture in the movie is like this kind of American culture where Apple music is just trying to figure out who's listening to what and the majority of American culture.
[01:40:39]  This is not logical.
[01:40:39]  Yeah.
[01:40:40]  These movies made a billion dollars.
[01:40:42]  But I'm saying you can't keep Marvel movies.
[01:40:43]  You can't do a Motley Cruise sound, like, no, Motley Cruz of Band, but you can't do like random.
[01:40:48]  When Guardians of the Galaxy came out, all of those 70 songs charted.
[01:40:51]  Yeah.
[01:40:51]  Because, well, that's just.
[01:40:52]  So why won't they put these songs in rotation on Apple and Spotify?
[01:40:57]  Well, I don't know.
[01:40:58]  I mean, if it's dictated by them, then I don't know.
[01:41:00]  I mean, presumably trying to boost.
[01:41:02]  The point is, Guardians of the Galaxy came out one, and the soundtrack charted.
[01:41:07]  All of those songs became massive again.
[01:41:10]  I think the highest that's what was the song from Guardians 3?
[01:41:16]  You know what I'm talking about?
[01:41:17]  I'm not sure.
[01:41:18]  Let me find that.
[01:41:19]  I mean, like, the Black Panther soundtrack charted after that movie came out because the movie was wildly popular, and everyone clocked that as like, this is a culturally by Spacehog.
[01:41:27]  I'm pretty sure Spacehog never charted as high as they did in the 90s with their one hit until Guardians of the Galaxy 3 came out.
[01:41:35]  So you have a 90s song hitting the charts because a movie put it there, made a billion dollars, and everyone loved it.
[01:41:44]  And then the music industry is like, we will not play these songs.
[01:41:48]  That is intentional.
[01:41:49]  That's it.
[01:41:50]  Well, again, because it's like.
[01:41:52]  Yeah, they're intentionally saying we know the music makes money and it's huge and we will not play it for the people of the world.
[01:41:59]  Country music.
[01:42:00]  Bro, you go to Japan and they're singing country roads.
[01:42:03]  You go to India, they're singing country roads.
[01:42:05]  They know what West Virginia is only because of how big that song is.
[01:42:08]  What's that Brian Adams song?
[01:42:11]  You know what I'm talking about?
[01:42:12]  The biggest song in the world.
[01:42:16]  I do it for you, right?
[01:42:18]  Yeah.
[01:42:18]  That was the biggest song ever.
[01:42:21]  What is it?
[01:42:22]  Like 100 million sales or something like this.
[01:42:25]  Again, all of this old stuff they know sells and makes bank.
[01:42:32]  Like, again, the Guardian soundtrack charted a whole bunch of songs.
[01:42:36]  Look at Netflix when they played Running Up That Hill.
[01:42:39]  And it from the 80s went to number one.
[01:42:41]  Why won't the labels take the music they know makes billions and put it on play?
[01:42:47]  They are intentionally losing money and destroying this.
[01:42:50]  It make it make sense to erode white American culture.
[01:42:54]  Yeah, I think that's the primary reason that that's the conspiracy theory.
[01:42:58]  Yeah, that they are intentionally trying to shut out the arts that Americans traditionally created.
[01:43:04]  And it's not white Americans, it's Americans in general.
[01:43:06]  Correct.
[01:43:06]  But it's not a conspiracy because they like literally during Black History Month at the very front of Spotify be like amplifying black music.
[01:43:12]  And same thing with like whatever the Hispanic month is like amplifying Latino voices.
[01:43:15]  So it's like, no, it's not a conspiracy.
[01:43:17]  They actually do admit like, hey, we're prioritizing these artists over what mainstream typically likes the kind of the nostalgia is in right now.
[01:43:25]  The nostalgia is harkening back to a time where America was a lot wider than it is.
[01:43:29]  That's why most of the music in it is like white-coated.
[01:43:33]  I think the Running Up That Hill thing, like, how many weeks did Running Up That Hill chart after Netflix after Stranger Things?
[01:43:39]  Yeah, it was a long, long time.
[01:43:41]  And that was like, what, season three or something?
[01:43:43]  They also drilled it into your head.
[01:43:44]  It was a TikTok song, too.
[01:43:46]  A lot of people were using it on TikTok.
[01:43:47]  What did they say?
[01:43:49]  It's because of that.
[01:43:51]  And that charted again and it became big.
[01:43:53]  And it was like 80, 80.
[01:43:54]  It's 86 is when that was.
[01:43:56]  86.
[01:43:57]  And so this song, here's the crazy thing: these songs appear in a cultural reference, and instantly everyone loves it.
[01:44:06]  So I love the story of Yellow Lead Better, Pearl Jam song that came out.
[01:44:11]  What was it, like 95 or something?
[01:44:12]  I think Yellow Lead Better.
[01:44:14]  That record came out in 92.
[01:44:15]  10 came out in 92.
[01:44:16]  It was not on 10.
[01:44:17]  It was a B side after the fact.
[01:44:18]  So then maybe it was 93.
[01:44:20]  It might have been four.
[01:44:21]  94 was the year for everything.
[01:44:23]  The story is that Pearl Jam released 10 and Yellow Lead Better was not on the album because they didn't have room for it.
[01:44:31]  And everybody loved the music so much that the radio stations were trying to find, they were desperate for new Pearl Jam.
[01:44:37]  So a B-side was released in the UK, and that was Yellow Lead Better, the song Yellow Better.
[01:44:41]  I forgot the I don't know what the B side was called.
[01:44:43]  And so this radio station plays it, and it was the first time a song charted without being commercially available.
[01:44:50]  So you couldn't buy it, but people heard it and they loved it.
[01:44:53]  It was released in 92 as the B-side to Jeremy.
[01:44:56]  Oh, okay.
[01:44:56]  92.
[01:44:56]  Wow.
[01:44:57]  Because the record came out in 91.
[01:44:59]  There you go.
[01:45:00]  So my point is it used to be an organic cultural phenomenon happened.
[01:45:06]  Yeah.
[01:45:07]  And then everyone said, we love this, and it became number one.
[01:45:10]  So now you have music that we know, the majority of them, a genre that does better than everything else.
[01:45:17]  Like the stuff, Sabrina Carpenter, for instance, it's a catchy summer bop espresso, but most people wouldn't know it.
[01:45:23]  You go to a bar and you play it, people are gonna be like, what?
[01:45:25]  Well, you go to a bar and you play Pearl Jam, everyone knows the words.
[01:45:28]  It phases out, too.
[01:45:30]  Like, I never hear espresso anymore.
[01:45:32]  Of course.
[01:45:33]  Yeah.
[01:45:33]  Like, that's the thing.
[01:45:34]  But like, I wouldn't.
[01:45:35]  So, so ultimately, my point is, these new songs they keep trying to make don't make money.
[01:45:41]  They're big, but again, Sabrina Carpenter sells arenas, not stadiums.
[01:45:45]  Rock hits and everyone knows it.
[01:45:47]  Yeah.
[01:45:48]  So why not just play those songs?
[01:45:51]  Well, there's also, there's also this thing that happens where like modern society needs a soundtrack.
[01:45:56]  The modern world needs a soundtrack, and eventually that hits capacity.
[01:46:01]  Christmas music, this happened to it 20 years ago, where like maybe early aughts was like the last few songs made it in, and then boom, shut.
[01:46:07]  We have enough songs.
[01:46:09]  The Christmas soundtrack has enough songs.
[01:46:11]  That's what's happening, like the modern world is we've hit capacity.
[01:46:13]  There's enough hits that everyone knows we don't need anymore.
[01:46:16]  That's why when you go to a wedding, they'll play a song from the 50s or the 60s.
[01:46:19]  Everyone knows it at every age.
[01:46:20]  It's cultural stagnation.
[01:46:21]  That's what it is.
[01:46:23]  But we need, you know, we should write a Thanksgiving song.
[01:46:27]  Name me one Thanksgiving song.
[01:46:29]  Now, Thanksgiving, that is pure America right there.
[01:46:32]  Yeah.
[01:46:33]  But there is no song.
[01:46:35]  Yeah.
[01:46:35]  We got a bunch of Christmas songs.
[01:46:37]  We got Halloween music from Nightmare Before Christmas.
[01:46:40]  We do.
[01:46:41]  That'll last forever.
[01:46:42]  But there's something too, like the concept of like Halloween.
[01:46:44]  The stuck culture where at some point.
[01:46:47]  Danny Elfman.
[01:46:48]  Yep.
[01:46:49]  Man.
[01:46:50]  Guys, can we just accept that we peaked in 94 and we've been all downhill since then?
[01:46:54]  Sure.
[01:46:54]  Every all of the greatest songs ever produced were 1994.
[01:46:58]  The only people in this room that were alive in 94 were me and Tim.
[01:47:01]  Well, Carter, you know what?
[01:47:02]  94.
[01:47:03]  Oh, okay.
[01:47:04]  So he was sitting there giggling as every album, all the greatest albums ever made ever were released.
[01:47:11]  The 90s were an amazing time for music.
[01:47:14]  Like you, you couldn't have a band like Primus nowadays.
[01:47:17]  Whether or not you actually enjoy Primus music, like Primus really was a very fresh-sounding, different band.
[01:47:26]  There's a lot of bands in the 90s that had a really fresh and new style.
[01:47:30]  Because also in the 90s, you could be serious about things and still be perceived as cool, where with Zoomers, everything has to be with a degree of irony.
[01:47:37]  So if you actually try to be serious and produce something serious, everyone thinks it's cringe and gas.
[01:47:42]  I know we went over this before, but Throwing Copper Live was 1994.
[01:47:45]  Yeah.
[01:47:46]  Bro.
[01:47:47]  What else do we have?
[01:47:48]  We have.
[01:47:48]  Sarity is the most cringe thing you could possibly do.
[01:47:50]  Offspring Smash.
[01:47:52]  Those guys suck, but you know, I'll give them a shot.
[01:47:53]  I think it's like in light of the internet, too, where everything needs to be provocative in some sort.
[01:47:59]  Charlie Kirk dies, and now my reels are all Charlie Kirk names.
[01:48:01]  Stone Temple Pilots Purple.
[01:48:04]  Monster REM, Weezer Blue Album.
[01:48:06]  I'll give REM a little bit there.
[01:48:08]  They were good.
[01:48:08]  Motley Crew.
[01:48:09]  Whole live through this.
[01:48:10]  That was fun.
[01:48:11]  Oasis.
[01:48:12]  Oh, Lunar String.
[01:48:13]  Pearl Jam by Technology.
[01:48:15]  Green Day Dookie.
[01:48:16]  Sound Garden.
[01:48:17]  Super Unknown.
[01:48:18]  Come on.
[01:48:19]  A lot of these albums in the lot of the music that we burn my eyes by Burn My Eyes and Low by Testament came out.
[01:48:27]  Dude.
[01:48:28]  The bleeding was released.
[01:48:29]  There was this post I saw and read it a while ago.
[01:48:31]  It said, every song you recognize from the 90s actually was just 1994.
[01:48:35]  And it's not literally every song, but there's like 30 huge, like Melancholy was 94, Melancholy Infinite Sadness.
[01:48:42]  And when was Inutero?
[01:48:45]  That was 94, right?
[01:48:46]  In Udaro, yeah.
[01:48:48]  It might have been earlier than that.
[01:48:49]  Maybe 93.
[01:48:50]  Yeah, I think In Uduro was.
[01:48:52]  But like, Zoomers have this equivalent where we hark back to 2016.
[01:48:55]  Yeah, it was 93.
[01:48:56]  Yeah, that's very, very true.
[01:48:57]  Yep.
[01:48:58]  Yep.
[01:48:58]  Because at the beginning of this year, everybody, yeah, everybody at the beginning of this year was like, are we going to channel 2016 energy for 2026?
[01:49:07]  Well, that's when the Large Hadron Collider Turned on, you know, at CERN and warped reality for the worst.
[01:49:13]  Yeah, and there's like certain music that takes me back to 2016.
[01:49:15]  Like the Fuse album by Drake, when I hear that, I just think about summer 2016.
[01:49:19]  And like, you're cringing, but like, Zoomers may be able to actually communicate that to their children, and then it could turn into Hotline Blink could turn into like kind of the hotline album.
[01:49:28]  I'm sorry, like, do you know the song 1979?
[01:49:31]  Or the Spanish Pumpkins?
[01:49:33]  That's right.
[01:49:33]  That song came out before you were born.
[01:49:35]  Yeah.
[01:49:35]  And you know what it is.
[01:49:37]  And I think there's certain songs among Zoomers that could get passed on to their children.
[01:49:40]  You know, it was really funny.
[01:49:41]  We just have to see.
[01:49:41]  We just have to see.
[01:49:42]  We're going to go to the Rumble Ransom chats and all that, but all these MTG woke nerds are really mad because I pointed out that magic is a game of chance and skill and that it's never been subject to.
[01:49:56]  We've been talking about this gambling stuff.
[01:49:57]  And so this like, this guy says he can beat me at magic.
[01:50:02]  And I'm just like, the first thing I point out is I love human beings because humans have this great capability to assume they are stronger, smarter, and better than literally everybody, no matter what.
[01:50:14]  Like here am I, a guy who's played magic for 30 plus years.
[01:50:18]  It's 32 years now, with a half a million dollar Magic the Gathering collection, a ridiculous amount of magic cards, winning tons of tournaments and playing very seriously most of my life.
[01:50:29]  And this guy's just like, I could take him.
[01:50:31]  And it's like, bro, like, by all means, you can say, I don't know, maybe I could.
[01:50:35]  That's fine to say.
[01:50:36]  But like going on Twitter, like, Tim Poole's a dumbass.
[01:50:38]  I'll beat him.
[01:50:39]  But my favorite part, and the reason I bring this up, is that this woman then tweeted something like, right-wing chuds think they're good at magic or whatever as a cope.
[01:50:46]  And then my response was just like, you know, the craziest thing to me is that I was winning tournaments before you even existed.
[01:50:53]  That's like, I'm not saying to be a dick.
[01:50:54]  It's just kind of a crazy thought to me that like she was 26 and I was like, man, I had actually already been playing for like five or six years when you were born.
[01:51:05]  Like you were literally in the hospital screaming and I was winning like tournaments.
[01:51:09]  It's just a crazy thought, you know?
[01:51:11]  Yeah.
[01:51:12]  It's just like, wow.

=== Nostalgia as a Coping Mechanism (10:38) ===

[01:51:13]  Look where we are.
[01:51:15]  Culturally stagnated.
[01:51:16]  But it is kind of weird to me that we're not doing new things.
[01:51:20]  And I think it has to do with the fact that there's no babies.
[01:51:22]  Yeah, but I also, it's very interesting because both your points on the music are the fact that we're like yearning for nostalgia and what we grew up with.
[01:51:33]  Part of the I'm 25.
[01:51:35]  Yeah, you guys didn't grow up with this music.
[01:51:36]  No, no, no.
[01:51:38]  I did because it's what my parents played for.
[01:51:40]  No, but I mean, sure.
[01:51:42]  But there was an article written about this that Gen Z is experiencing like anachronistic nostalgia.
[01:51:48]  Like they were born after the 90s, but long for the 90s.
[01:51:52]  But, you know, I think like people have always experienced that.
[01:51:55]  I mean, I think like our parents, my parents at least, like they watch like the Andy Griffith show and they find tremendous nostalgia on that, but they were alive in the 50s and 60s.
[01:52:03]  I think this is different.
[01:52:05]  I don't counsel Zoomers, but I think that has existed.
[01:52:08]  The things that in my mind, I'm like, those are the days are the phone rings and me and my brother running full speed to answer the phone before the other could because we just wanted to answer the phone.
[01:52:16]  There's no cell phones.
[01:52:18]  Thursday night, the new episode of The Simpsons comes on and my dad yells, it's on.
[01:52:23]  And then we all run into the living room, like The Simpsons, to watch it.
[01:52:25]  And then commercial break, you run in the kitchen, grab the Doritos, going to Blockbuster Video on Friday after school to pick out the video game to rent for the weekend.
[01:52:33]  That was all 90s.
[01:52:35]  I have no nostalgic feeling for the 80s.
[01:52:38]  I wasn't there.
[01:52:40]  But I also think that.
[01:52:41]  You were there, but you know, the 90s were better.
[01:52:43]  See, that proves it.
[01:52:43]  The 90s were better.
[01:52:45]  I mean, I was young in the 80s.
[01:52:47]  I was like, you know, I was born in 75, so I was only a teenager for a couple years.
[01:52:51]  But I think a lot of this is like rejecting, or like rejecting the internet, rejecting the things that we recognize, even though we're not willing to give them up, but the things that we recognize actually degrade society, degrade culture.
[01:53:05]  And we're recognizing that that is superior art.
[01:53:08]  So we long for it.
[01:53:10]  Oh, I got it.
[01:53:10]  Yeah, that's what it is.
[01:53:11]  I'm going to buy 200 acres in like Montana, and we are going to create Springfield.
[01:53:18]  We're going to call it Springfield.
[01:53:19]  And it's not a Simpsons reference.
[01:53:20]  It's a generic town name.
[01:53:22]  And it will be law that you cannot bring in technology or cultural practices post-1999.
[01:53:29]  Here for it.
[01:53:29]  It's like the Amish just updated.
[01:53:31]  Someone comes in.
[01:53:32]  Someone comes in playing like, I don't know.
[01:53:37]  Well, that obviously.
[01:53:39]  But I was going to say like 2003, you know, Backstreet Boys or Puddle of Mud.
[01:53:44]  Out.
[01:53:46]  Guillotine.
[01:53:47]  Right to jail.
[01:53:48]  I grew up in a town.
[01:53:50]  I'm from a town that is directly north of Springfield, Massachusetts.
[01:53:54]  We are going to create a town where it's frozen in time.
[01:53:58]  And you show up.
[01:53:59]  And as soon as you walk in, everyone's like, you can't wear clothes.
[01:54:04]  Like everyone has to wear chinkos.
[01:54:06]  Yeah, and the funny.
[01:54:07]  No, no, no, no.
[01:54:08]  That wasn't rock culture.
[01:54:09]  You got to wear jeans with ripped knees and flannel shirts over white t-shirts.
[01:54:13]  Japan kind of did that.
[01:54:14]  They just got to like the 90s and they're like, we're keeping most of this.
[01:54:17]  And then there's like, they, they're very sensitive to like introducing new things.
[01:54:20]  I walked into some fax machines everywhere.
[01:54:22]  I was like, what's going on?
[01:54:23]  I've got a business idea.
[01:54:24]  If anybody's interested, it's not that I need an investor.
[01:54:27]  It's that we need a manager to make it happen.
[01:54:30]  I need a business partner that I can fund all this, but someone's got to run it.
[01:54:35]  Here's the idea.
[01:54:36]  Springfield, Montana.
[01:54:37]  It is a hotel with five two-bedroom units, and each unit is a decade.
[01:54:46]  You have 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s.
[01:54:49]  Maybe we can do a 50s.
[01:54:51]  When you go into the 80s apartment and you rent it for however long, there's a phone on the wall.
[01:54:56]  When you turn the TV on, it plays television from that time.
[01:55:01]  So if it's a Friday, we will pick a period like 1984 on a Friday and have the actual television where you can change the knob and put on whatever TV shows we're on.
[01:55:11]  And when you want to order food from like Domino's or Pizza, whatever existed back then, they will show up in the appropriate uniform carrying the appropriate things.
[01:55:19]  You will be back in time.
[01:55:21]  And you could do a 90s one where you are in a house in the 90s and the windows will be TV screens.
[01:55:27]  And when you look out the window, it will just be the 90s.
[01:55:31]  We've talked about doing this.
[01:55:32]  There's one big constraint, and that is the high propensity for suicides.
[01:55:37]  I am not joking.
[01:55:39]  That was one.
[01:55:40]  Whenever we bring this up, the concern is some middle-aged dude who got divorced seven years ago is going to go to the 90s room and he's going to sit there in the bedroom with like all the posters from all the bands from when he was a kid, start crying, and then take his own life.
[01:55:52]  And we are like, so how do you do it?
[01:55:55]  Because there is that powerful depression and nostalgia, you know?
[01:55:59]  Yeah, people that go to like that lengths to engage in like nostalgia.
[01:56:03]  That's typically the sign of like either environmentalization or like trauma.
[01:56:06]  But not a psychologist.
[01:56:08]  To be fair, would it not be the greatest thing ever to book like two nights at a hotel where as long as you're in this phone is on the wall and like it's a it's a 90s experience?
[01:56:20]  It only exists in Japan.
[01:56:21]  I know to keep bringing it up.
[01:56:24]  For people with Alzheimer's.
[01:56:26]  Oh, yeah.
[01:56:27]  In a good way.
[01:56:28]  Perpetually.
[01:56:30]  We are going to grab your Rumble rants and super chats.
[01:56:32]  So smash the like button, share the show and all that good stuff.
[01:56:34]  Let's see what you got.
[01:56:35]  We got Evan for us as Trump said that the operation in Iran will end and I think one or two weeks.
[01:56:40]  We shall see.
[01:56:41]  Well, he's got a big announcement tomorrow.
[01:56:43]  He may end it's over.
[01:56:44]  I mean, he may announce it's the end.
[01:56:46]  He may end it's over.
[01:56:47]  He may say, we're done.
[01:56:49]  We're done.
[01:56:51]  I honestly think, based on that big thread, one of his strategies may have been to intentionally shut down the Straight of Hormoose because it puts tremendous pressure on a whole bunch of other countries and locks.
[01:57:01]  So long as he says, we're done with these campaigns.
[01:57:03]  We're going to keep some troops in the region just for stability.
[01:57:06]  And then he intentionally lets straight-inform moves be closed.
[01:57:08]  Everyone's got to buy from us.
[01:57:10]  Yeah.
[01:57:11]  Yep.
[01:57:13]  That would be hilarious.
[01:57:14]  All right.
[01:57:14]  AK Storm says, for everyone, how much denaturalization would you guys be comfortable with if birthright citizenship is overturned?
[01:57:20]  Should 30-year-old citizens with illegal parents be booted?
[01:57:23]  No.
[01:57:25]  I would say like six months.
[01:57:28]  I would say 30-year-old if it was birth tourism.
[01:57:32]  Yes.
[01:57:33]  If there is a 30-year-old guy living in China who was born here and he doesn't live here, we just void that right away.
[01:57:40]  Done.
[01:57:41]  No exploitation.
[01:57:42]  I don't care how long it's been.
[01:57:44]  But if there's someone who's been living here and they're 30 years old and they've only ever lived here, and the guy's name is like, you know, you know, let's say his name was Juan Gonzalez, and he speaks Spanish, but he also speaks English and he likes the Yankees.
[01:57:58]  I'm like, he's born here.
[01:57:59]  He's a citizen.
[01:58:00]  I'm not worried about it.
[01:58:01]  We're not going to denaturalize people like that.
[01:58:03]  The big concern is birth tourism and manipulation, exploitation.
[01:58:06]  Hassan Piker.
[01:58:07]  I'm pretty aggressive on remigration policies.
[01:58:10]  Like, I think they should evaluate entire communities that have refused to assimilate.
[01:58:13]  I think it's like if you have any loyalty to another country, what, three, four generations at that point, your citizenship is just paperwork primarily.
[01:58:20]  I mean, again, this is the truth: a lot of those Somalis are here legally.
[01:58:24]  They got all their paperwork, and a lot of them were born in Somalia.
[01:58:26]  A lot of these were born in Somalia.
[01:58:28]  Same thing in Dearborn.
[01:58:29]  Actually, the majority of those people in Dearborn were born in Michigan.
[01:58:32]  So it's like the denaturalization, it just doesn't feel good because it's like, well, they like a lot of the same cultural things that I do.
[01:58:37]  But really, when you drill down to like what's actually important to you, how do you evaluate the world?
[01:58:41]  They don't have that much in common.
[01:58:42]  They're trying to ban dogs.
[01:58:43]  Right.
[01:58:44]  Yeah.
[01:58:44]  Yeah.
[01:58:44]  Honestly, they're in a different world.
[01:58:46]  So it's like, I think, I think you got to get aggressive.
[01:58:49]  I think you've got to like really evaluate entire communities.
[01:58:52]  And I mean, there could be room for exceptions, obviously, as there always is, but no, exceptions don't disprove the norm, and you've got to really get a little aggressive with these types of things.
[01:59:00]  Yeah.
[01:59:00]  All right.
[01:59:00]  Let's see.
[01:59:01]  We got Bill Dozer says, Christian stays strapped and calls him Miss Piggy while doing the Kermit voice.
[01:59:07]  Wow.
[01:59:08]  Well, Priya, what was your take on that last one?
[01:59:10]  Because that's an interesting question.
[01:59:11]  Oh, no, I was just going to say, I completely agree.
[01:59:13]  I mean, we look at places like Little Mogadishu in Minnesota, and these people are completely defrauding our country.
[01:59:20]  They're literally ripping off our country and, you know, and the American taxpayer, and they're not benefiting the system at all.
[01:59:26]  I don't really care if they're here legally or not.
[01:59:29]  There has to be a line that we draw in terms of you're either a benefit to this country and you assimilate and take on our cultures and norms and value them, or you get the hell out.
[01:59:40]  Yeah, absolutely.
[01:59:42]  I think that the more we can do to make sure that the people that are in the United States are here because they actually care about our society and care about the values that we have, the better.
[01:59:53]  You're not going to make America worse by getting rid of people that hate America.
[01:59:57]  Exactly.
[01:59:58]  Snasberry says, as a Californian, I renounce my Californian citizenship.
[02:00:02]  Don't lock me in with these monsters.
[02:00:06]  It's so sad because it's like it's so sad because it's like California really is.
[02:00:11]  It is geographically the crown jewel of the United States.
[02:00:14]  Like that's as good as it gets geographically.
[02:00:16]  They have everything.
[02:00:17]  It's the envy of the world.
[02:00:19]  And it's being occupied.
[02:00:20]  This is why Democrats go after the most vital parts of American society.
[02:00:24]  This is why you look on the Christianity side.
[02:00:26]  That's why they targeted the Episcopal Church first because it's like, what could what epitomizes American Christianity more than the church that like 32 presidents were a part of?
[02:00:33]  Yeah, well, God, go ahead.
[02:00:34]  No, no, no, it's okay.
[02:00:35]  Like, I mean, you look at California specifically, and we've talked a lot about culture in the last hour or so.
[02:00:41]  And I mean, California is kind of the epitome of culture worldwide.
[02:00:45]  I mean, you just look at Hollywood, and obviously that is like really, really gone downhill, especially recently.
[02:00:52]  But like, that really dictated the type of culture that we, especially in the West, had.
[02:00:58]  But God loves cars, everything.
[02:01:00]  D.Sage says, I agree with Tim on the rock idea.
[02:01:03]  The next Gundam Hathaway Flash is using sweet child of mine.
[02:01:07]  Take the L.
[02:01:08]  A Japanese movie is using U.S. music.
[02:01:11]  That's what I mean because America, that doesn't disprove what I'm saying.
[02:01:13]  I'm saying American culture is the envy of the world.
[02:01:15]  Of course, people are going to emulate American culture.
[02:01:17]  And what we've seen from the Japanese posters is when they think of American culture, they're not thinking of like black or Hispanic culture.
[02:01:23]  They're thinking of like, my name's Mike, Mike Stevenson.
[02:01:26]  And I'm, and it's like blonde, like blonde flower.
[02:01:28]  Did you see the list of uh, there's a Nintendo game where a Japanese uh programmer had to create a bunch of American names, right?
[02:01:36]  And it's like like Anglo like names.
[02:01:39]  No, it was just all gibberish.
[02:01:40]  Yeah, but they're like broadly like Shawnee Stevenson and stuff like that.
[02:01:44]  It's always names that like sound close to like one specific etymology.
[02:01:50]  And that's that's my point.
[02:01:51]  That's my point.

=== American Culture Envy Worldwide (14:51) ===

[02:01:52]  It's again, it's like it's not to say anything.
[02:01:53]  It's just to my initial point, like the Sleeve McDichel, Anson Sweeney, Daryl Archideld, Anatoly Smorin, Ray McScrit, Mick Sriff, Glenn Allen Mixon, Kevin No Gilny,
[02:02:10]  Tony Smerick, Bobson Dugnut, here's Dean Westri, Mike Truck, Gwigat Rortugal, Carl Dandleton, Todd Benzalez.
[02:02:29]  I think I met a Portuguese.
[02:02:30]  Bobson Dugnut.
[02:02:31]  That's the best.
[02:02:32]  Mike Truck is my favorite.
[02:02:34]  Mike Truck.
[02:02:35]  Great name.
[02:02:36]  Yeah, Steve Truck.
[02:02:39]  All right.
[02:02:40]  Hroldren says, we need to make ballot harvested ballots have a stupid process involved for it to be considered valid to make it so that only the people that care will vote that way.
[02:02:49]  Agreed.
[02:02:52]  All right, let's grab one more.
[02:02:54]  412 shows, please let the people know about Bill HR 7166.
[02:02:59]  It will ban the online sale of ammo.

[02:03:48]  So, again, these things change.

[02:04:45]  Thanks for hanging out.
[02:05:33]  It's time to bring back rock.
[02:05:36]  Everybody knows rock is the best.
[02:05:38]  And the issue is that if the older generations like rock music and rock music sells, why aren't they making rock music for younger people?
[02:05:47]  The idea is this: Sabrina Carpenter is not going to sell among older generations because older generations like rock.
[02:05:54]  So what you do is you make young rock that young people will attach to, and older people will go, I kind of like this.
[02:06:00]  And you might actually get sales among the older generation.
[02:06:03]  It is fucking weird that they are like, nah, do weird, dumb, gay shit that people don't want to listen to.
[02:06:12]  Who the fuck's going to buy it?
[02:06:13]  And then here's the crazy thing because Carter can test this.
[02:06:15]  They are trying to eliminate sales as a metric for successful music, which is the biggest load of fucking bullshit.
[02:06:24]  If artists could sell albums, they would.
[02:06:29]  Like, we'll give you $10 for your songs right now, guaranteed up front.
[02:06:33]  They'd be like, yes, please.
[02:06:34]  A million people giving me $10.
[02:06:37]  I'll take $10 million on the spot.
[02:06:39]  Instead, they go, How about we give you $100,000 in streams?
[02:06:43]  So here's something interesting I saw the other day, and I think I quote-tweeted this or retweeted it or something, but it was like Jack, the original Twitter guy, maybe bought title and said you can now upload and sell music as in like a band camp type of thing.
[02:07:00]  I haven't looked into it enough.
[02:07:02]  What?
[02:07:02]  Jack?
[02:07:04]  Yeah, the original guy who had Twitter?
[02:07:07]  Jack Dorsey.
[02:07:08]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[02:07:09]  His at name was just the point I was just making is this.
[02:07:14]  Rock music sells among older generations.
[02:07:17]  So the idea always was you make new rock music because older generations like it.
[02:07:23]  You make it with new bands and young people.
[02:07:25]  So young people like it.
[02:07:26]  And maybe some older people will buy it as well.
[02:07:29]  The idea that you'd be like, we know we can make $100 million on a rock album because older people would buy it and younger people would buy it.
[02:07:36]  Let's not do that.
[02:07:36]  Let's make weird gay shit where a black dude sucks the devil's dick.
[02:07:40]  Because I think rock music requires, like, I made this point in the show: is I think rock music requires a level of sincerity that Zoomers aren't willing to engage with.
[02:07:48]  I don't think it has anything to do with Zoomers.
[02:07:51]  It has to do with an industry choosing not to sell to make money.
[02:07:55]  Like we were just saying this.
[02:07:56]  The music industry no longer accepts sales as a metric of success.
[02:08:00]  It's like they're intentionally trying to remove it because Tom McDonald sells records like fucking hotcakes.
[02:08:07]  And if they track that, he'd be number one all the time.
[02:08:10]  I know he's hip-hop and rap, but he does some rock stuff.
[02:08:13]  The point is, independent music is iced out.
[02:08:17]  If they produced a Gen Z rock band and they put it on rotation, millennials and boomers and Gen X might be willing to buy or listen to those songs.
[02:08:28]  It makes no business sense.
[02:08:31]  They could, look, it's really this simple.
[02:08:33]  You've got between boomers, you've got 220 million boomers, Gen X, and Millennials.
[02:08:40]  They love rock music.
[02:08:42]  You've got 80 million Gen Z.
[02:08:45]  The music, the record label should say, Gen Z are insincere, sarcastic, and dejected, so they probably won't care for anything.
[02:08:54]  The label should say, okay, well, to be honest, if we take a Gen Z rock band and we promote this on the streaming platforms, how many Gen Z will buy?
[02:09:03]  Maybe only 20%.
[02:09:05]  Really?
[02:09:05]  So we'll capture, what, 16 million people?
[02:09:08]  Yeah.
[02:09:08]  How many boomers, millennials, and Gen Xers will we capture?
[02:09:12]  60 million.
[02:09:13]  Okay, so our total market share is going to be the 70 million.
[02:09:15]  Let's do it.
[02:09:16]  Right now they're going, we can maybe capture 30 million Gen Z with shit music.
[02:09:19]  Let's make less money.
[02:09:21]  Does not make sense.
[02:09:23]  But that's exactly what you'd want to do if you were trying to destroy it intentionally.
[02:09:26]  Well, it will destroy it intentionally, but also manipulate the culture that comes along with it, right?
[02:09:31]  Because if you're taking away, I mean, if you're not using sales as the metric for success, you could fabricate streams.
[02:09:38]  They do.
[02:09:39]  Yeah, exactly.
[02:09:40]  But that's how you dictate what rises to the top, and that's what everyone sees.
[02:09:44]  Carter and I had a song that sold more singles in one week than any other song for that week.
[02:09:49]  And they told us it did not count.
[02:09:51]  In the meantime, some band no one ever heard of was placed on auto rotation and got a million streams.
[02:09:58]  And they go, look how successful we are.
[02:10:00]  What?
[02:10:00]  Nobody knows your name, bro.
[02:10:01]  No disrespect to that band.
[02:10:03]  Congratulations for getting put on auto rotation.
[02:10:04]  But nobody knows the name of that band and they've never come back.
[02:10:08]  The industry just puts what they want and they'll block out anybody else.
[02:10:14]  Well, I think people's tastes have watered down too.
[02:10:16]  Like people don't know what good music is.
[02:10:18]  I think that's a large part of it.
[02:10:20]  In addition to that, if you're trying to add garbage.
[02:10:23]  Yeah, which is, I think, it's mostly intentional, but I do think like, I think the market also demands that.
[02:10:27]  I mean, look at what people choose to dress like.
[02:10:29]  People choose to do this, that, and the other.
[02:10:31]  But like, you can't recreate Metallica because Metallica is still alive.
[02:10:35]  So it's like, if they want to make money, they're just going to keep repackaging Metallica.
[02:10:38]  Why reheat it when you can just repackage it?
[02:10:42]  Death Camp for Cutie, in my opinion, proves that they intentionally destroyed the white man's music.
[02:10:48]  I'm saying that somewhat jokingly, but this is 2000s indie rock, and it was not put in prominent rotation.
[02:10:57]  The last rock song that hit number one, you know what it was?
[02:11:00]  How you remind me?
[02:11:01]  2001.
[02:11:04]  There was a bunch of rock being through.
[02:11:06]  There's tons of it that was massive in colleges, everywhere.
[02:11:11]  Everyone my age in Chicago were handing CDs to each other saying this is stuff we have to do.
[02:11:16]  You turn the radio on and it was like hip-hop was starting to emerge and rock was largely being removed for weird dance stuff.
[02:11:24]  Like 2007 rap last time I remember hearing anything rock on the radio base.
[02:11:29]  That Justin Bieber came along.
[02:11:30]  You always see these tweets.
[02:11:31]  You'll see tweets from black people that are like, white people make music like this.
[02:11:36]  It also depends on where you're listening.
[02:11:38]  So there are active rock stations that all they do is play active rock.
[02:11:43]  They don't play new stuff, though.
[02:11:46]  Currently now, well, no, because, I mean, like I said, there's bands like Architects that get paid, that are considered a new band.
[02:11:54]  Bands like Sleep Token that are considered a new band.
[02:11:57]  And look how popular they are despite not getting the promotion and they're not getting, they're not being treated the way massive bands of yesteryear would be treated.
[02:12:06]  Yes.
[02:12:07]  Like they're selling like crazy.
[02:12:09]  They're doing stadiums, right?
[02:12:10]  They don't do stadiums.
[02:12:11]  They do big arenas, though.
[02:12:12]  Big arenas.
[02:12:13]  And if they put that stuff in the number one slot.
[02:12:18]  Yeah, a bit.
[02:12:19]  Well, then like Bring the Horizon, which they're not technically a new band, but they came out in the past 20 years.
[02:12:25]  They're playing really, really big places.
[02:12:27]  Like they played The Sphere in Vegas.
[02:12:30]  They're playing, you know, they're playing probably 30,000 seat places and stuff.
[02:12:36]  They're not new, but there isn't.
[02:12:39]  But the thing about the bands like that is like there isn't, to your point, radio stations that are playing them.
[02:12:44]  That's all, that's all because of word of mouth and because people listen to the band because they like it.
[02:12:49]  It feels like, so again, with the, I brought Death Camp for Cutie.
[02:12:53]  It was like a whisper campaign for rock music in the 2000s for the most part.
[02:12:57]  I'm going to my friends being like, hey, have you heard of Metric?
[02:13:00]  No.
[02:13:01]  And like, we are an underground being like, here's new rock.
[02:13:04]  And like, because it wasn't getting any prominent promotion.
[02:13:07]  I mean, our, our, our, like, the songs that we had that were in the top five at rock radio and like our number ones and stuff like that, they were, they were all in, I think our first one was in like 2008.
[02:13:17]  We had a song that went to number that broke into like the top 10.
[02:13:20]  And then we had multiple songs and made it into top five between 2008 and 2012.
[02:13:26]  Our first number one was 2013.
[02:13:28]  So, I mean, I understand what you're saying, but like that's that.
[02:13:31]  It was, I'm not saying it didn't exist.
[02:13:33]  I'm saying it was waning.
[02:13:34]  Obviously, Blank 182 was massive, had huge hits in the mid-2000s.
[02:13:37]  I'm just saying I believe there is an it, there is, you know, maybe we'll call it, it's this simple.
[02:13:45]  There are people who work at the big streaming platforms who just don't like rock.
[02:13:48]  Yeah.
[02:13:49]  And they're just like, I don't want it.
[02:13:50]  Yeah.
[02:13:51]  You know what's weird?
[02:13:51]  It's like the benchmark for success in like at least this scene used to be having a shirt at Hot Topic.
[02:13:57]  Like when you're on the wall at Hot Topic, your band has made it easy.
[02:14:00]  You don't make any money.
[02:14:01]  I remember the first time that we had a shirt at Hot Topic.
[02:14:04]  I was like, this is the coolest fucking thing.
[02:14:05]  And then out of nowhere, they started putting like Jack Skellington everywhere, all over.
[02:14:10]  And you know what's really crazy?
[02:14:12]  Hot Topic has not changed since 2001.
[02:14:14]  Yeah, it's the same.
[02:14:15]  For real.
[02:14:15]  I mean, bro, the weird.
[02:14:18]  I was losing my mind.
[02:14:19]  I am 40 years old.
[02:14:21]  And you know what reminds me of?
[02:14:23]  Have you guys seen the movie The Age of Adeline?
[02:14:25]  Yes.
[02:14:25]  Yeah.
[02:14:25]  You know what I'm talking about?
[02:14:26]  And so here's this woman, throws it, don't know what it's about.
[02:14:29]  She's driving in a car.
[02:14:30]  She crashes.
[02:14:31]  She's drowning.
[02:14:32]  And then he gets struck by lightning, which they make up some sci-fi reason, which pauses her aging, which doesn't make sense, but who cares?
[02:14:38]  Now she stops aging.
[02:14:40]  And so there's like a scene where this woman walks past you.
[02:14:42]  She goes, Adeline?
[02:14:43]  Oh my God, you don't look like you've aged a bit.
[02:14:46]  She's like, oh, stop.
[02:14:48]  And then Harrison Ford, he met her when he was a young man, and then she ran off because she wasn't aging.
[02:14:54]  And now he's a really old man.
[02:14:55]  He's seized her.
[02:14:56]  He's like, I loved you.
[02:14:57]  Oh, I can't believe it's you.
[02:14:58]  And she's like, oh, you're wrong.
[02:14:59]  It's not me.
[02:15:00]  So anyway, I'm walking in a mall.
[02:15:02]  I said it was his daughter or her daughter.
[02:15:03]  Yeah, she's like, that was my mom.
[02:15:04]  So I'm in a mall, and I see these three girls wearing like hot topic clothing.
[02:15:10]  She's wearing an, she's wearing a Gur shirt from Invader Zim.
[02:15:14]  The other girls got a black button up open with black pants and a chain wallet.
[02:15:19]  And she's got striped purple socks.
[02:15:21]  And I'm like, did I go back and die?
[02:15:25]  What's happening?
[02:15:26]  It's the 90s.
[02:15:27]  I'm like, I felt like it was 1997 and I was at Vidim Park again.
[02:15:31]  And the fucking teenage girls wearing their hot topic shit were back.
[02:15:35]  And I'm like, for the love of, I'm kidding, by the way, but for the love of all is holy, I'm like, why are these 16-year-old girls dressing like it's 2001?
[02:15:45]  Could you imagine this?
[02:15:46]  Just when you were like, so you guys were both born in the 90s?
[02:15:51]  No, I was born in 2011.
[02:15:52]  No.
[02:15:52]  You were born in 01?
[02:15:53]  Same.
[02:15:53]  Oh, holy shit.
[02:15:54]  Damn.
[02:15:55]  You guys were born in the 2000s.
[02:15:56]  Babies.
[02:15:57]  They're babies.
[02:15:58]  Just imagine your friends walk around with bell bottoms and like afros.
[02:16:04]  And you're like, you're dressing like it's the 70s.
[02:16:06]  It's the craziest thing.
[02:16:07]  Right.
[02:16:08]  Like when you were growing up, imagine when I see kids today dressing like it's the 90s, that would be like you guys growing up with people dressing like it was the 70s or 80s.
[02:16:17]  It's the weirdest shit.
[02:16:19]  Well, because like the 2000s or the aughts, I think it's what they're supposed to call it.
[02:16:23]  It's like the last decade that had like a defined culture.
[02:16:27]  Like that's why that's why Zoomers love the Y2K stuff because it was the last time that there was like an identifiable culture that you could engage with.
[02:16:34]  Like the 2010s, it's kind of difficult to pin down what it was.
[02:16:36]  The internet ruined everything.
[02:16:38]  It was weird.
[02:16:40]  And also, like, the tastemakers gave up on like creating culture.

=== The Last Defined Decade (02:06) ===

[02:16:43]  So, so, wait, wait, wait.
[02:16:44]  Do we not then agree that the preferable circumstance would be the powerful networks regain control of cultural hegemony, hegemony, and then YouTube, Spotify's platforms wane in power, and then it's just five streaming services, and everybody laughs at Big Bang Theory, 30 million views.
[02:17:06]  Everybody loves the same music, and they all hold hands and sing songs.
[02:17:10]  You go to the bar, and the new hit rock song comes on that just premiered last night on the amazing new Star Trek written by, you know, the original writers from the 90s.
[02:17:21]  In terms of the culture that we consume when it comes to, for lack of better words, like pleasure and that kind of stuff, yes, but I think that it would have negative effects that trickle down into like exactly what we're doing now, like engaging in, you know, political discourse and things like that.
[02:17:38]  I think.
[02:17:38]  Yeah, and even realms and culture where there is still a monopoly, like pro sports is a good example.
[02:17:43]  Yeah.
[02:17:44]  The NBA cannot find a replacement star for LeBron James.
[02:17:47]  Yeah.
[02:17:48]  Soccer cannot find replacement stars for Leon Messi and Christian Ronaldo.
[02:17:51]  Football.
[02:17:52]  Football can't find a replacement for Tom Brady.
[02:17:53]  Well, beyond that, there's players that are of similar level, but the problem is you just can't build a star anymore.
[02:17:59]  It's just people, again, it's just like the high aura.
[02:18:03]  Nothing's taken seriously.
[02:18:04]  Social media gives you too much.
[02:18:06]  Have you guys ever heard of the show Big O?
[02:18:09]  Big O.
[02:18:10]  I don't know the full story.
[02:18:12]  I think some of the viewers might, it's an anime.
[02:18:14]  But like the general idea is they live in this reality where they believe that they've been alive for a long time and that there's a history, but they actually are on a computer program that only existed for 20 years.
[02:18:25]  My point is the truth is, my friends, Earth was created in the year 1990, and all of your memories prior are fake.
[02:18:34]  And the reason why everything's breaking down is because the simulation started with a bunch of high-level individuals pre-programmed in existence.
[02:18:42]  But as time goes on, the generations are degrading.
[02:18:45]  And that's the experiment.
[02:18:46]  They were like, how many generations until you no longer have a Michael Jordan?

=== Simulation Degradation Explained (04:33) ===

[02:18:49]  That is what's happening is we're like reaching the end of liberalism.
[02:18:53]  Like this is actually what happens at the end is like everything, even the great parts of it, the parts that we've enjoyed, begin to break down and fall apart.
[02:19:01]  That's all we're seeing is everything is just on fumes.
[02:19:03]  It's limping into the 2020s.
[02:19:05]  It probably shouldn't have made it out of the 2020s, but they got Trump after the first term.
[02:19:09]  So it's like, it's limping into the 2020s, but we are seeing it change and modify.
[02:19:15]  It's not quite like dead.
[02:19:16]  It's just evolving into something different.
[02:19:18]  But then does it need to die completely and collapse to be revived in some way?
[02:19:24]  Well, the thing is, I don't know if you can kill liberalism because South Africa still has liberals.
[02:19:28]  That's the crazy thing.
[02:19:29]  It's like South Africa, how bad things have gotten there, how awful things have gotten there.
[02:19:33]  You see that account where it's like 15 years ago, what it looked like, but now it looks like they had a war.
[02:19:37]  There are still liberals in South Africa.
[02:19:39]  So it's kind of this question we're all having is like, how do we actually kill this thing?
[02:19:44]  Can you kill it?
[02:19:45]  I don't know.
[02:19:45]  Let's pull some callers.
[02:19:47]  Let's start with C Nosky.
[02:19:48]  What's up, brother?
[02:19:49]  What's up, man?
[02:19:50]  Tell us.
[02:19:51]  Tell us the secrets.
[02:19:52]  Howdy.
[02:19:54]  Hi.
[02:19:54]  What up?
[02:19:56]  Oh, you know, living the dream.
[02:19:57]  Let's go.
[02:19:58]  Great idea with the Springfield town, Tim.
[02:20:01]  Awesome idea.
[02:20:02]  You know, base it around a religion, though.
[02:20:04]  That way, the town and everybody that's a member of that town can claim the tax-exempt status.
[02:20:09]  90sism.
[02:20:13]  That's your key.
[02:20:14]  Anyway, the more important thing is, Tim, the panic narrative is crumbling.
[02:20:19]  Hegseth is being reported today as saying the regime change has occurred in Iran.
[02:20:23]  Keywords being has occurred.
[02:20:27]  Yeah.
[02:20:28]  Yeah.
[02:20:29]  We've heard not stop for five weeks now that Trump isn't keeping his word and starting a new 20-year war in the Middle East at Israel's behest.
[02:20:36]  What are they going to say now, if true?
[02:20:38]  And why is it that they're gay?
[02:20:43]  They have no faith in the plan.
[02:20:45]  How do we get ahead of these weak bitches trying to stop Trump from doing what needs to be done?
[02:20:49]  I think Trump might announce tomorrow it's over.
[02:20:51]  Yeah.
[02:20:52]  I think there's a good possibility that's the case.
[02:20:55]  I mean, I think everyone knows that the longer that this war drags on, the worse it's going to mean for us in the midterm.
[02:21:00]  So I think there's a high incentive, especially from the administration, to end it as soon as possible.
[02:21:05]  Yeah, there is there.
[02:21:06]  I still, you know, I'm still of the opinion that there is no appetite from the American people and no desire by the administration to have a long, drawn out occupied war.
[02:21:19]  First of all, second of all, even though there have been some assets moving to the Middle East that look like there might be some ground operations pending, that is not the same as the buildup before the Iraq war.
[02:21:31]  The buildup necessary to invade a country like Iran would be larger than the buildup that was used for Iraq because you don't have a bunch of desert that you're going to drive tanks over.
[02:21:43]  You have mountains that you have to get over.
[02:21:46]  You're not like, and I've said this a bunch of times as well.
[02:21:49]  You don't send in regular infantry unless there's a trailer behind them with a McDonald's, right?
[02:21:56]  Like they, they, that is the way that our logistics, yeah, that's the way our logistics works.
[02:22:00]  Like when you send troops in, the military can set up literal towns right behind them and they do all they can to make sure that the forward deployed have as many of as many comforts of home as they possibly can.
[02:22:15]  And that does mean things like fast food.
[02:22:18]  Those things are contracted through the military.
[02:22:20]  So, and none of that's happening.
[02:22:22]  So there is not going, there still is no evidence that there will be a long, protracted ground war in Iran.
[02:22:30]  So, and how you convince people, you don't because they're not interested in being convinced.
[02:22:36]  They've made their minds up.
[02:22:37]  Yeah.
[02:22:38]  Stop trying.
[02:22:39]  I mean, I think examples of that can be seen even today outside of this particular announcement with the Twitter battle going between Thomas Massey and Dan Bongino.
[02:22:49]  I don't know if you guys have seen this.
[02:22:52]  But that is wild how Massey is just ratioing Bongino nonstop with every point he makes, where he's literally calling out all the reasons why Bongino had to resign, not wanted to resign, not could have resigned, but had to resign.
[02:23:10]  Yeah, I'm so like over the Twitter drama between all of them.
[02:23:17]  Yeah.
[02:23:19]  The weird AI posts.
[02:23:20]  So check this out.

=== Twitter Drama and AI Posts (05:41) ===

[02:23:23]  I'm having people text me right now about it.
[02:23:25]  This weird AI post, I'm done with Candace.
[02:23:27]  I'm done with Marjorie Taylor Green, Tucker Carlson, Nero, Jack Peso, Tim Kess, Megan, Kelly Hodgman's.
[02:23:31]  Why are me and Jack in there?
[02:23:33]  And this is like the fifth one that's popped up.
[02:23:36]  And it's all the same people.
[02:23:37]  And it is.
[02:23:38]  And the replies always go, why is Tim Poole listed in here?
[02:23:41]  It's like, right?
[02:23:43]  I think it's fake.
[02:23:44]  I think it's AI.
[02:23:46]  And I think the intention is to get Trump supporters to attack me so that I turn on Trump supporters.
[02:23:51]  They want me to be like, Trump supporters are crazy.
[02:23:54]  They keep fucking attacking me.
[02:23:55]  Well, fuck you.
[02:23:56]  Blah, blah, blah.
[02:23:57]  Like, then fuck Trump.
[02:23:58]  That's what they want to happen.
[02:23:59]  I think this is intended to make sure that all these people on this list turn on Trump.
[02:24:05]  I mean, it's a solid, it's a solid strategy.
[02:24:07]  I'm going to turn on your supporters tonight here, Tim.
[02:24:10]  I'm going to turn on your supporters in the Discord tonight.
[02:24:13]  You're going to turn them on?
[02:24:14]  With that beautiful voice.
[02:24:17]  That already happened with Priya being on the show.
[02:24:19]  That's kind of the problem.
[02:24:21]  With Priya being on the show, the Discord has been going crazy wanting more of her.
[02:24:25]  And some people asked me to use my call to shoot their shot for them.
[02:24:29]  And I thought that was weird.
[02:24:31]  And what I'm going to do instead is say, Korea, you got a lot of people that are fans of you.
[02:24:37]  Don't listen to any of them.
[02:24:38]  They're all little bitches and going to call you themselves.
[02:24:43]  Thanks so much.
[02:24:44]  Appreciate you.
[02:24:45]  Anytime.
[02:24:47]  You guys have a great night.
[02:24:48]  See you, Chris.
[02:24:49]  Talk to you later.
[02:24:50]  Thanks for calling in.
[02:24:53]  All right.
[02:24:53]  Let's grab Gonefall.
[02:24:56]  What is up?
[02:24:57]  Gonefall.
[02:24:57]  You sound like the Lord of the Rings character.
[02:24:59]  Yeah.
[02:24:59]  That's what I was thinking.
[02:25:02]  Hey, how's it going?
[02:25:03]  Oh, you're definitely a Lord of the Rings character.
[02:25:08]  So the leftists love, love calling us Nazi fascists.
[02:25:15]  So I have a question.
[02:25:17]  Are leftist women as a collective worse than Hitler?
[02:25:23]  Yes.
[02:25:24]  Yes.
[02:25:24]  Yeah.
[02:25:25]  Yes.
[02:25:25]  Because they're communists.
[02:25:27]  Yeah.
[02:25:28]  Yeah.
[02:25:29]  Remember, the communists have a higher death toll than the Nazis.
[02:25:33]  Far larger, actually.
[02:25:36]  Yeah.
[02:25:36]  And the reason why I asked is because, well, you know, Hitler killed 6 million.
[02:25:43]  And the American leftist woman, well, they aborted like 65 million babies.
[02:25:50]  Hitler killed 6 million.
[02:25:55]  Hitler killed 6 million Jews.
[02:25:57]  He killed more people than 6 million.
[02:26:00]  Yeah, he killed more or no less.
[02:26:03]  Exactly.
[02:26:04]  But the Nazi, but the communists have somewhere in the neighborhood of like 70 to 100 million on their death toll.
[02:26:13]  So even if Hitler killed 6 million Jews and 6 million other people.
[02:26:17]  The one thing that I can respect the communists for, they did kill a lot of communists.
[02:26:22]  A lot of communists.
[02:26:23]  Not my joke.
[02:26:23]  It's an old, old joke.
[02:26:25]  Chinese, just when they die, they die at high volume.
[02:26:27]  Like you look in like the 70s, you look in like the 1700s and they're like the great disagreement of Zhiyan.
[02:26:32]  And then like 40 million people died.
[02:26:34]  You're like, what happened?
[02:26:35]  A famine.
[02:26:36]  There was literally an entire, there was an entire rebellion because a guy claimed, like Western missionaries finally penetrated the interior of China and one guy was just convinced by a missionary that he was like the son of Jesus Christ and then declared a cult and then it got so large that it caused like they literally rebelled and like we're trying to like take all of China and it killed like 20 million people.
[02:26:56]  And that's like a footnote.
[02:26:57]  It's like you can barely find the Wikipedia article, because when they die, they go big.
[02:27:01]  They do yeah, but you're go home, man.
[02:27:03]  Yeah meanwhile America, like you know, like there's a car crash and it makes like national news.
[02:27:07]  It's crazy, which is good, because you know value, you have anything.
[02:27:12]  You want to add, a lot of us.
[02:27:14]  What you're saying is that we're valued at more than the Chinese.
[02:27:19]  Yeah, you know I'd, I'd say so.
[02:27:24]  If you're a patriot, you can't disagree with that.
[02:27:26]  Okay, I think we're more valued than every country, specifically China.
[02:27:33]  Yeah, China is like so many of the communists.
[02:27:36]  This it's, it's the Zap Brannigan strategy.
[02:27:38]  Communists are just like, send wave after wave of our own men to death until we overwhelm the enemy.
[02:27:43]  That's exactly what happened at Stalingrad.
[02:27:45]  That's exactly what happened at the Chosen reservoir when the it's called Zerging.
[02:27:49]  Yeah, they just send a bunch of dudes, you don't need a gun.
[02:27:52]  The guy in front of you has a gun.
[02:27:54]  When he dies, pick up his gun.
[02:27:55]  The joke is, in Futurama, Zap Brannigan famously defeated the killbots in the killbot war and he goes.
[02:28:01]  The secret was, I discovered the killbots had a preset kill limit, so I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they hit that limit and stopped.
[02:28:11]  That's how you win.
[02:28:13]  Oh, that's the communists.
[02:28:15]  That's dark, that is the communists.
[02:28:17]  You got anything you want to add?
[02:28:20]  Well, yeah, I mean, I mean, I do have a little joke, right?
[02:28:23]  So, like, the joke is the leftist woman are always saying, my body, my choice.
[02:28:30]  But when it's Hitler saying it about his country, well.
[02:28:37]  No, it's Nick Fuente.
[02:28:39]  It's her body, Nick Fuentes' choice forever.
[02:28:42]  You got to ask a woman like, do you think it's okay to get an abortion because of the race of the baby?
[02:28:51]  Like if a woman hooks up with a guy in the dark at like a party.
[02:28:56]  In the dark.
[02:28:56]  And she doesn't know that he's black.
[02:28:59]  Is it okay that she gets an abortion because he's black?
[02:29:02]  She goes like, wait, my baby's going to be black.
[02:29:03]  I'm going to get an abortion.

=== Sectarianism Overrides Treaties (07:21) ===

[02:29:04]  Is that okay?
[02:29:05]  She couches it because, you know, they abort babies because of like potential health complications.
[02:29:08]  Like, I really don't want to have lupus.
[02:29:09]  Like, lupus is scary to me.
[02:29:10]  No, no.
[02:29:11]  She goes, I really don't want him to be black.
[02:29:13]  She's like, I found out the guy that I was in an orgy.
[02:29:15]  And like, I didn't know who was behind me.
[02:29:17]  And then it turns out it was a black guy.
[02:29:18]  And I'm talking like dark.
[02:29:19]  You know what I mean?
[02:29:20]  So now I'm going to have a black baby.
[02:29:21]  I mean, abortion.
[02:29:22]  Is that okay?
[02:29:25]  Honest question.
[02:29:25]  We got to get a liberal in here so I can ask him.
[02:29:27]  Find us a libtard.
[02:29:28]  Discord.
[02:29:29]  Libtard.
[02:29:29]  Find us a libtard.
[02:29:30]  Discord, send them.
[02:29:31]  Bring us.
[02:29:32]  Yeah.
[02:29:33]  We seek counsel.
[02:29:34]  Indeed.
[02:29:36]  I don't know, brother.
[02:29:36]  Do you want to add anything or shout anything out?
[02:29:39]  Oh, no, that's about it.
[02:29:41]  I just wanted to ask that funny question.
[02:29:43]  Thank you very much for having me on here.
[02:29:45]  Thanks.
[02:29:45]  Calling, brother.
[02:29:46]  It's like hopefully week night.
[02:29:48]  All right.
[02:29:48]  We got Mike Nur.
[02:29:50]  What's up?
[02:29:50]  Mike Ner, what's up, man?
[02:29:52]  What's up, Mike?
[02:29:52]  What's up, Mike?
[02:29:53]  Hey, what's going on, everybody?
[02:29:55]  Tim and the gang.
[02:29:56]  This question is made with Tim.
[02:29:58]  And whoever wants to jump in can feel free to jump on in.
[02:30:02]  But Tim, earlier today, you were saying that the United States was predominantly formed on Christianity earlier in the day.
[02:30:10]  I need to push back against that a little bit.
[02:30:13]  It's okay to be wrong.
[02:30:14]  The United States was a – I'm sorry, what?
[02:30:16]  I said, it's okay to be wrong.
[02:30:19]  All right.
[02:30:20]  All right.
[02:30:20]  Maybe, maybe I can impart some knowledge on you then.
[02:30:24]  All right.
[02:30:24]  So if this was a profoundly Christian nation, then why would Adams sign the treaty of Tripoli?
[02:30:33]  That was when they were having the war with the Barbary Pirates.
[02:30:35]  And in Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, it states, the U.S. government is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion and has no innate hostilities towards Muslims.
[02:30:48]  Why would they sign that if they're so devoutly Christian?
[02:30:51]  I'm a Catholic.
[02:30:52]  I do believe in Christ.
[02:30:55]  Go ahead.
[02:30:56]  But it's because the states held their own.
[02:31:00]  The states were sovereign.
[02:31:02]  What do you mean?
[02:31:04]  The federal government stayed out of it specifically because they were Christian factions that hated each other.
[02:31:08]  So they were like, we are not going to have a basis.
[02:31:11]  And Jefferson himself was a deist.
[02:31:14]  But this was debated by the Senate and read out loud in the Senate, and this was unanimously ratified.
[02:31:22]  If they were so devout, why would they sit there and come back and say, okay, we're going to go ahead and sign this saying this is not a Christian country?
[02:31:29]  Well, also, like, they're not trying to make a philosophical statement about American society.
[02:31:34]  They're trying to provide diplomatic reassurance to a Muslim nation.
[02:31:37]  So it's like, you can't really pluck an article out of a treaty to then therefore like retroactively apply that to all the evidence that would say leading up to the American Revolution and then throughout the Constitution, how the Constitution was framed, that there wasn't concerns over sectarianism among like Christian denominations.
[02:31:56]  And then all that is completely overridden by the fact that, again, in a treaty, when they're negotiating with Muslims or trying to provide them reassurance, you say, okay, well, we're not like explicitly founded as a Christian nation, which I don't think anybody really disagrees with.
[02:32:09]  But again, the federal government was like, we're not going to get involved in internecine conflict.
[02:32:15]  This country, like the federal government stays out of these issues.
[02:32:18]  The states explicitly had requirements that you pronounce a faith in a Christian God in order to hold office.
[02:32:26]  All of them did.
[02:32:27]  And then around the time of the ratification of the Constitution and the formation of the government within the revolutionary period, they started to back off from this and not because of Christianity, but because of Protestantism versus Catholicism.
[02:32:41]  Jefferson himself was deist.
[02:32:43]  So Virginia said, just believe in God.
[02:32:45]  But it was all largely founded on the Christian moral tradition.
[02:32:49]  Yeah, it was like John Williams, for example.
[02:32:51]  He started Rhode Island, obviously.
[02:32:53]  He was a Baptist.
[02:32:55]  That was considered like a rogue, renegade Christian sect back then, or a religious sect broadly was like Baptists were seen as like out there.
[02:33:03]  So that is why, like leading up to the foundation, the difference between Anglican and Presbyterian was like enough of a problem during like the colonial era that the U.S. government just felt it would be worthwhile to, again, not implement a state church.
[02:33:16]  They didn't anticipate the fact that we would have like Hindus and Muslims and Jews and like all these groups like really exercising power and lobbying for their own interests.
[02:33:26]  If they anticipated that, they would have said, okay, we'll just keep like an Anglican church and power or something like that.
[02:33:32]  You don't think that maybe like slavery, kind of how they kind of just used that to kind of get the southern colon to kind of fight in the Revolutionary War, that maybe they designed other things in there so that way that we didn't end up as a total theocracy?
[02:33:48]  Well, no, everybody was Christian.
[02:33:51]  Yeah, everyone was Christian.
[02:33:52]  And that's why we have separation.
[02:33:54]  We had blasphemy laws on the books until the mid-1800s.
[02:33:58]  Yeah, and the reason we had separation of church and state was to mitigate sectarian wars, which we were already used to seeing in Europe.
[02:34:04]  It was nothing to do with theocracy.
[02:34:06]  It was more to do with sectarianism.
[02:34:08]  They were worried about sectarianism.
[02:34:11]  Again, they didn't want to see, you know, inner Protestant, like literally 100 years before, like in the 16, 15, 1500s, we literally had Oliver Cromwell, the Glorious Revolution.
[02:34:22]  That was like a Puritan-led conflict.
[02:34:24]  They had sectarian, inter-Protestant like conflicts.
[02:34:27]  So they were like, they were Englishmen.
[02:34:28]  They were very used to this idea.
[02:34:30]  And that's what they were really afraid of.
[02:34:32]  I don't think they were really as afraid of a monarchy, especially of theocracy.
[02:34:36]  And they perceived any potential theocracy coming from the Catholic Church.
[02:34:39]  That's why they were so like vehemently anti-Catholic, like the majority of Americans were at the time.
[02:34:45]  Okay, I can accept that.
[02:34:47]  Maybe a little bit.
[02:34:49]  There you go.
[02:34:49]  I mean, that's a good poll.
[02:34:51]  The Tripoli thing isn't discussed enough, but that was, and then I believe in the Arabic, in the Arabic edition, it doesn't include that line.
[02:34:58]  So that's why historians debate it.
[02:34:59]  And then the 1805 treaty, which actually formally ended the conflict, it's not in there.
[02:35:05]  But people do cite that often.
[02:35:07]  And it was in an edition that was ratified.
[02:35:10]  So there's something to be said about it.
[02:35:12]  But I think it was mostly just a reassurance provided to, again, Muslims.
[02:35:17]  You don't want to go out there and start emphasizing your Christianity.
[02:35:20]  Yeah, given the state of a young nation trying to do a major war.
[02:35:24]  Yeah, you know what?
[02:35:27]  I think the easiest way to put it is you would go to jail for saying Christ is not king.
[02:35:31]  That's like not even a joke.
[02:35:32]  You'd go out walk outside your house and yell, Christ's not king.
[02:35:34]  They'd be like, arrest him.
[02:35:35]  Yeah, Catholic masses were banned in like 11 states.
[02:35:39]  Like they were very, they were very ardent on into like, what was it, like 1828 or 18, no, was it like 1830 or whatever, the last blasphemy case?
[02:35:47]  Yeah.
[02:35:48]  Yeah.
[02:35:48]  Like it was a very was such a Christian nation, they would jail you for blasphemy.
[02:35:54]  It was such a Christian nation that to this day, Democrats still give lip service of Christianity period.
[02:35:59]  Seriously, it's right.
[02:36:01]  We're still like that.
[02:36:02]  It's still that hangover from like how Christian America was, which I would like to see a restoration of.
[02:36:09]  Amen to that?
[02:36:09]  I would like to see it come back a little bit.
[02:36:12]  Not so much where we can't drink and dance and stuff like that.
[02:36:16]  But yeah, we definitely need to kind of head back to the roots.
[02:36:19]  Yeah, I think the big-haired church ladies are vindicated every day.

=== Shout Outs to Big Hair (04:13) ===

[02:36:26]  And you want to add a shout out?
[02:36:29]  Yes, I want to add one thing.
[02:36:30]  All right, I have a beef with Tate.
[02:36:32]  Why is he trying to call me up my damn Indiana?
[02:36:34]  All right.
[02:36:36]  Look, look, I was hatched in Memphis, but like my origin story really starts in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
[02:36:43]  He got bit by a radioactive Hoosier.
[02:36:45]  It's true.
[02:36:46]  And I'm willing, I'm willing if all Indiana residents, which are all patriots by and large, get to occupy the beautiful Southern California landscape and then we ban.
[02:36:55]  I think we're on the same, I think we would enjoy that.
[02:36:57]  Imagine how great Indiana is.
[02:36:59]  Now imagine a Hoosier-led California.
[02:37:03]  That's a beautiful thing.
[02:37:04]  Okay.
[02:37:06]  Give us California.
[02:37:06]  We cap all those fuckers here in Indiana, but yeah.
[02:37:10]  All right, I'm down.
[02:37:10]  You said you grew up in Fort Wayne?
[02:37:13]  You were popses?
[02:37:14]  All right, you want to shout anything out, brother?
[02:37:17]  No, third.
[02:37:17]  All right.
[02:37:18]  Thank you guys so much.
[02:37:18]  I appreciate it.
[02:37:19]  Thanks for calling in.
[02:37:21]  Last but not least, we have Brian Major Threat.
[02:37:24]  Let's go.
[02:37:25]  What's up, Brian?
[02:37:27]  Is that his legal name?
[02:37:27]  It's like an angle.
[02:37:28]  Oh, hey, thanks for having me on once again.
[02:37:30]  Can you hear me okay?
[02:37:31]  Yeah.
[02:37:32]  Yeah.
[02:37:33]  Oh, I'm Brian Major Threat.
[02:37:35]  I am from the movie.
[02:37:36]  Sorry, my vote.
[02:37:37]  Yeah, just go ahead.
[02:37:38]  My fault.
[02:37:39]  My fault.
[02:37:40]  Okay, Tate, you're on thin ice with me already.
[02:37:43]  Sorry.
[02:37:44]  I was trying to make a joke in a tough crowd, dude.
[02:37:47]  The astronaut you so disrespectfully described as sitting in the cuck chair during the Apollo 11 mission was Command Module Pilot Michael Collins.
[02:38:03]  He was disrespected Air Force test pilot.
[02:38:05]  He eventually retired with the rank of Major General.
[02:38:09]  That's two stars for people in the peanut gallery.
[02:38:15]  By the way, the cosmic cuck chair, by the way.
[02:38:17]  The cosmic cuck chair.
[02:38:19]  It's a difference.
[02:38:22]  Shut up.
[02:38:23]  I'm still going.
[02:38:28]  Anyway, during the mission, he was accurately described as the loneliest man in the universe because when he was orbiting the far side of the moon while the other two guys were down on the lunar surface, he was cut off not only from his crewmates, but from NASA, from Mission Control, from Houston.
[02:38:48]  Come on, man.
[02:38:49]  Have some respect.
[02:38:49]  Or is this a Gen Z thing?
[02:38:51]  Gen Z thing.
[02:38:52]  No, I think you could classify some men as the loneliest men in the hotel room, you know, being isolated from the bed.
[02:38:58]  You know, they're on the chair very far away from the bed.
[02:39:01]  I got it.
[02:39:01]  He laughed.
[02:39:02]  There we go.
[02:39:02]  See, you know, it's funny.
[02:39:04]  I have respect for the guy.
[02:39:05]  What was his name?
[02:39:07]  Michael Collins.
[02:39:08]  Michael Collins.
[02:39:09]  General Michael Collins.
[02:39:11]  General Michael Collins.
[02:39:11]  No, I'm joking.
[02:39:12]  I love General Michael Collins.
[02:39:14]  Also, go back to the last conversation.
[02:39:16]  So unfinished business.
[02:39:17]  It's a Presbyterian country because the first sort of the first communion taken on the moon was a Presbyterian-led service.
[02:39:25]  Yeah.
[02:39:25]  Yeah.
[02:39:27]  So it actually is.
[02:39:28]  And also the British, there's a lot of pamphleting from the time of the Revolution where they referred to the American Revolution as the Presbyterian Revolt.
[02:39:35]  And so that continues all the way into the Apollo missions.
[02:39:39]  And Michael Collins is a total patriot.
[02:39:40]  It's just a joke.
[02:39:41]  I do not actually think he was in the Sneeko chair.
[02:39:43]  He's a patriot.
[02:39:45]  Sneeko chair.
[02:39:48]  All right.
[02:39:48]  You've redeemed yourself, Tate.
[02:39:54]  You anything you want to shout out?
[02:39:56]  Oh, yeah.
[02:39:57]  Hey, Discord event coming up this weekend, the Timmys.
[02:40:02]  If you're a member of the Discord, look around.
[02:40:07]  T-Bone will post a link.
[02:40:10]  If you haven't voted, vote in.
[02:40:12]  We're going to shout out us on the Discord, the community.
[02:40:16]  So, yeah, get your vote in.
[02:40:18]  You're right, huh?
[02:40:19]  All right, man.
[02:40:20]  Let's go.
[02:40:21]  All right, dude.
[02:40:21]  Thanks for calling in, brother.
[02:40:22]  Thank you, man.
[02:40:24]  No problem.
[02:40:25]  All right.
[02:40:26]  Well, we're back tomorrow.
[02:40:27]  It's April 1st, so there's a moon mission and Michael Malice.
[02:40:31]  And you know, he's always got something prepared.
[02:40:33]  So it's going to be interesting.
[02:40:35]  Thanks for hanging, everybody.
[02:40:36]  It's been great having you, Priya.
[02:40:37]  Thanks for hanging out.
[02:40:38]  Yeah, thanks for having me.
[02:40:38]  Appreciate it.
[02:40:39]  Absolutely.
