=== Supreme Court Voting Rights Ruling (01:55) ===

[00:02:59]  The Supreme Court just dropped a political nuclear bomb with their ruling on the Voting Rights Act, a 6 3 conservative ruling saying you cannot have racially gerrymandered congressional districts.
[00:03:15]  What this means as of right now, it means that two congressional districts that are Democrat based on race in Louisiana are going to have to be redrawn, likely eliminating the Democrat seats in Louisiana, giving Republicans plus two.
[00:03:30]  The bigger picture.
[00:03:32]  There are around 30 congressional seats nationwide that are drawn up due to the VRA based on race.
[00:03:41]  With the ruling from the Supreme Court that it is unconstitutional, we could see a cascade with all of these red states now technically being required to redraw their congressional maps, not just gerrymandering, but eliminating long Democrat held seats under the VRA.
[00:04:02]  This could swing things for the Republicans between 30 and 40 congressional seats.
[00:04:09]  The big question is will the Republicans actually have the balls to do it?
[00:04:14]  Well, the good news for Republicans is that it doesn't actually require that much effort from Republican governance because individuals in these states or in these districts specifically can file lawsuits now that the attorneys general of these states would not be able to defend because the Supreme Court already said no.
[00:04:34]  It's like the end of Roe v. Wade almost.
[00:04:35]  They didn't overturn the VRA.
[00:04:37]  They effectively said, you can use this now against these districts.
[00:04:42]  Meaning, if you live in one of these districts that's gerrymandered based on race, you can sue saying it's racially discriminatory against me to have a district drawn up based on other races.

[00:04:55]  This is a nuclear bomb.
[00:04:56]  The Republican Party winning the midterms is now in play if this happens.
[00:05:01]  So we're going to talk about that, plus a bunch of other fun news.
[00:05:05]  Apparently, in order for Elon Musk to get his new pay package, he has to put 1 million people on Mars, which I don't know whose idea that was, but there's so many problems with doing that, especially in his lifetime.
[00:05:19]  I don't know how he actually accomplishes this, but I'd be down to see it.
[00:05:23]  That would be a lot of fun.
[00:05:24]  And then we've got more information on this UFO whistleblower and missing scientist conspiracy.
[00:05:31]  Kash Patel says they are looking into it, and one whistleblower issued a warning shortly before.
[00:05:37]  Someone disappeared.
[00:05:38]  So we'll talk about all that.

=== Gerrymandering Lawsuit Complications (14:15) ===

[00:08:02]  I'm dark.
[00:08:03]  What button would you take, Ian, if he read or I would take the red pill, dude?
[00:08:07]  You would.
[00:08:07]  Yeah, yes.
[00:08:08]  Which button would you press?
[00:08:09]  The red button or the blue button?
[00:08:11]  What if you took both of them at the same time?
[00:08:13]  The red buttons?
[00:08:14]  I'm going to say this right now.
[00:08:15]  If you're ever applying for a job, here you say red button, you're not going to.
[00:08:18]  What's the red button do?
[00:08:19]  We'll talk about it in a little bit.
[00:08:21]  Harder banks.
[00:08:21]  What's up?
[00:08:22]  What's up, man?
[00:08:23]  Let's get into it.
[00:08:24]  Here's the news from The Guardian U.S. Supreme Court rules Louisiana must redraw its congressional map in landmark case.
[00:08:32]  The decision effectively guts major section of the Voting Rights Act.
[00:08:36]  The last remaining provision of the 1965 civil rights law that prevents racial discrimination in voting.
[00:08:41]  Let me just set the record straight and give you the quick gist.
[00:08:44]  The 1965 precedent basically said, hey, look, there's a lot of black people there, systemic racism, so they should have congressional representation.
[00:08:52]  So they drew up these maps for the purpose of correcting past injustice.
[00:08:56]  By today's standard, the Supreme Court's basically said that's discriminatory against other races now.
[00:09:02]  We're well past this.
[00:09:02]  In fact, Alito made the argument that it seemed like the framers of this law intended for some kind of sunsetting.
[00:09:09]  That it was to deal with something specific at the time that we are not dealing with today.
[00:09:15]  So, that being said, they have issued their ruling.
[00:09:18]  You cannot have congressional districts based on race.
[00:09:24]  Why does that matter?
[00:09:25]  Well, my friends, we've got this from the persistence, Scott Pressler.
[00:09:29]  He says two of Pennsylvania's congressional districts were drawn as a result of the unconstitutional race based Voting Rights Act requirements.
[00:09:38]  The RNC should not just focus on Southern states.
[00:09:41]  But must also sue Pennsylvania for its illegal maps.
[00:09:46]  Sue Pennsylvania.
[00:09:47]  Where's the thing?
[00:09:49]  You don't need the RNC to do it.
[00:09:51]  Anyone who lives in these districts will have legal standing because you are being impacted by this.
[00:09:58]  And here's where it gets really crazy.
[00:10:01]  I asked Grok, break it down for me, brother.
[00:10:03]  Nearly all 20 to 30 of the VRA mandated congressional districts in Republican leaning states are held by Democrats.
[00:10:12]  That means if we go on the high end, Imagine a Congress with only 180 Democrat votes, 230 or some odd Republican ones.
[00:10:23]  And I'm going to lay it out there a little bit more.
[00:10:25]  It's actually upwards of 40, but I will throw a wrench in the spokes for the Democrat or purple states.
[00:10:31]  The issue here is that if you sue to change, to redraw these racist maps, if the state is held by Democrats, they will take the opportunity to redistrict right now and they will make more Democrat districts.
[00:10:46]  So they'll say, okay, we won't use race as the basis.
[00:10:50]  We'll use something else.
[00:10:51]  And this could result in every single state in the country being redrawn right now in the most insane of ways.
[00:11:00]  Now, the end result, I think, is because the VRA largely affects Democrat districts in red states.
[00:11:06]  That was the point.
[00:11:07]  This is going to put the Republican Party back in play.
[00:11:10]  Polls be damned.
[00:11:12]  And the funny thing to me is I'm going to pull up here we got from Kalshi 2026 midterms balance of power has not adjusted for this.
[00:11:20]  I'm not recommending anybody do anything.
[00:11:22]  Don't spend the money on that.
[00:11:23]  Don't listen to me.
[00:11:24]  I'm just saying.
[00:11:25]  I am surprised we have only seen a two point jump in Republican control of the House and Senate.
[00:11:31]  Poll wise, Republicans are set to win the Senate.
[00:11:35]  Poll wise, it is leaning Democrat.
[00:11:38]  So right now, we don't know for sure if it's going to be a Democrat House and Senate or a Democrat House with a Republican Senate.
[00:11:45]  But I actually believe, based on this move from the Supreme Court, if these lawsuits get filed across the board in every one of these districts, these states have no choice.
[00:11:55]  The Supreme Court has already said it is unconstitutional.
[00:11:58]  How would they not take this action?
[00:12:00]  What's their argument?
[00:12:01]  What could they possibly do?
[00:12:03]  Delay?
[00:12:03]  Maybe.
[00:12:04]  But six months is a long time.
[00:12:06]  And then, if they don't respond, this could call the election itself into question.
[00:12:11]  If they move forward with elections in what has been determined to be unconstitutional congressional districts, then you're going to have way more lawsuits.
[00:12:19]  And I don't know how that ends up, but this is going to be a wacky and wild midterm.
[00:12:22]  So all I can say is typically, Well, I'll put it this way.
[00:12:26]  This is particularly esoteric, right?
[00:12:29]  When you're reading the news and someone says something like, you know, Trump announces this guy will head the Fed, everybody runs to buy in the prediction market to try and get it in before it flips 99% and they can make a profit.
[00:12:43]  I don't think people who normally buy understand the ramifications of this SCOTUS ruling and how it is the domino being knocked over that will result in Republicans having a much, much better chance of winning.
[00:12:55]  Not to mention, guys, The latest poll from Harvard Harris X is that Republicans are tied with Democrats.
[00:13:00]  So I'm curious what you think.
[00:13:03]  I mean, I think it is a big deal.
[00:13:04]  We know that every congressional district is probably race based.
[00:13:07]  So I don't know what Pandora's box is open from this.
[00:13:10]  But I would say also at the same exact time, you know, if we want to win elections, it's always the left that uses all these redistricting and gerrymandering.
[00:13:18]  I feel like that's kind of what they're an expert in.
[00:13:21]  And if we want to win, we got to win because we are the more popular opinion.
[00:13:25]  We're the populist movement.
[00:13:27]  Like we don't need to worry about.
[00:13:28]  Gerrymandering, and we just have to overcome it.
[00:13:32]  I know that sounds whatever cliche or too anecdotal.
[00:13:35]  I just don't think this is as big a deal for some reason because I feel like the district's already gerrymandered anyway.
[00:13:39]  And I just don't know if they change that much if we lose how many different seats.
[00:13:43]  Do you think it'll be 30 seats?
[00:13:44]  Have you looked at Louisiana's map, bro?
[00:13:47]  Well, I figured it's probably all race based, but I mean, you're gonna.
[00:13:50]  So, Louisiana, this case alone has just eliminated two Democrat districts right now.
[00:13:55]  It's done.
[00:13:56]  Well, that's good.
[00:13:57]  That is good.
[00:13:58]  Then it seems like it's a good thing, but I also know that.
[00:14:00]  You know, they try to redistrict part of California and now they're going to get more Democrat seats in Congress.
[00:14:05]  Indeed.
[00:14:07]  What we might end up seeing right now is a cascade effect where every blue state.
[00:14:13]  Here's the problem.
[00:14:13]  Actually, let me put it like this.
[00:14:14]  I'd say blue states will redistrict, but the problem is blue states are almost already gerrymandered to the point of giving Democrats extra seats.
[00:14:22]  You take a look at Massachusetts 36% Republican, zero Republican seats.
[00:14:27]  That didn't make any sense.
[00:14:28]  You take a look at Illinois.
[00:14:30]  Let me pull up Illinois's Matt.
[00:14:31]  For you.
[00:14:31]  It does happen in the conservative side more, where it's a more conservative state, but then they have less, you know, less representation.
[00:14:38]  Well, no, because the VRA, the red states, have weird race based gerrymandered districts.
[00:14:43]  Look at Illinois 13.
[00:14:46]  They intentionally created a strip.
[00:14:47]  Could you imagine you live in like some rural middle of Illinois town, but they just have this line of fire going over your house to put you in a Democrat district?
[00:14:58]  Look at this Rockford and Bloomington and Peoria.
[00:15:00]  They create this weird strip that wraps around so they can get these Democrat districts and make a fake congressional district.
[00:15:07]  Let me show you what Louisiana looks like.
[00:15:10]  This is what ultimately lost.
[00:15:12]  Look at the sixth and the second district.
[00:15:15]  Is that not the dumbest district you've ever seen?
[00:15:17]  And they got the biggest cities, Trueport, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans.
[00:15:20]  Indeed.
[00:15:21]  These were drawn up based on race and they have to eliminate them.
[00:15:24]  And now the expectation is when they redraw this, there will be no Democrat districts in Louisiana.
[00:15:30]  Obama tweeted out about this.
[00:15:32]  He has kind of the counter opinion about protecting minorities and making sure they still have a voice in the Republic.
[00:15:38]  Because back in the day, I think that a lot of this stems from back when they would block bust and all the rich white dudes, because they came from money in the 1890s or whatever, and the black people had been mostly descended of slavery, so they didn't have as much money.
[00:15:50]  The white rich dudes would get together and be like, No one can move in.
[00:15:53]  We're not, it's technically, we're not doing it on purpose, but we'll just say no to any black people that want to move in.
[00:15:59]  So they would make them all, it's called blockbusting.
[00:16:01]  They make them all move out.
[00:16:02]  So then the district is this 15 block radius of rich white dudes controlling.
[00:16:07]  And so they had to like carve out, or they felt like they had to empower the people that lived in the dregs on the outskirts.
[00:16:14]  But it's been, it's like the balloon's been inflated and bubbled so many times that it just popped.
[00:16:19]  Like that, the insanity is observant at this point.
[00:16:23]  If they eliminate.
[00:16:26]  VRA districts.
[00:16:27]  This is what the South will look like.
[00:16:29]  Wow.
[00:16:30]  That's huge.
[00:16:31]  Do you think this is likely to happen because an everyday citizen can put forth the lawsuit as opposed to expecting Republican operatives to do it?
[00:16:38]  That's the key right there is that anybody.
[00:16:41]  So if you live in a racially gerrymandered district, you have standing.
[00:16:46]  You are aggrieved now under this unconstitutional action.
[00:16:49]  It still will come down to how the state responds.
[00:16:51]  The attorneys general are going to be presented with an interesting conundrum.
[00:16:54]  So for those who are not familiar how this works, If you go to a state, or if you live in a state that you have a problem with, let's say you have a problem with your state, and you're like, I'm going to sue the state.
[00:17:05]  The lawsuit goes to the attorney general of that state, who then determines whether or not he's going to defend the state from the action.
[00:17:11]  There are many instances where the attorney general might say, you know what?
[00:17:16]  I actually can't win this case.
[00:17:18]  And so let's say you sue your state's power agency or whatever, and you've got something like, hey, the fees that they've put forward on electric.
[00:17:30]  Or regulatory fees they've added to electric bills from these private companies.
[00:17:33]  They're unconstitutional.
[00:17:34]  The attorney general reads it and goes, Okay.
[00:17:37]  He then goes to the regulatory agency and says, I will lose if I try to defend you on this one.
[00:17:43]  I can try to defend you on it, but I'm going to tell you, we will just waste money and it's not going to happen.
[00:17:48]  More importantly, if the governor tells the attorney general not to defend it, it's just done.
[00:17:53]  So if various political action groups or individuals file lawsuits in these districts saying they are known racially gerrymandered VRA districts, there is still the prove it.
[00:18:04]  What is the grounds by which these are determined to be?
[00:18:07]  And they may try to make that argument in court.
[00:18:09]  Okay, you got to prove it in court.
[00:18:10]  This district came about because of this.
[00:18:12]  May actually be very easy to prove, considering Democrats' attempts to defend them have already created this pretext where they've said, We did it for this reason.
[00:18:22]  Obama's quote right now about how this is about fighting back against Jim Crow.
[00:18:25]  Okay, agreed.
[00:18:27]  Now you got to get rid of him.
[00:18:28]  If the governors, the state legislatures just say, You're right, they tell the attorney general, We're not going to defend it.
[00:18:35]  More importantly, The state could just do it.
[00:18:38]  The state could then, the governor could say, look, we just heard what the Supreme Court said.
[00:18:41]  We have no choice.
[00:18:42]  We're redrawing these maps.
[00:18:44]  So, I do think that this is more likely to happen because private individuals now have standing to take action.
[00:18:53]  Whether or not it'll happen fast enough, I don't know, but I kind of think the reason this is happening is intentional in the Republican playbook.
[00:19:00]  They went after the VRA intentionally because they want to win the midterms based on redrawing maps.
[00:19:07]  That's why Trump told Texas to redraw.
[00:19:09]  Democrats are responding.
[00:19:12]  The issue for Democrats is many of The blue states are already gerrymandered to oblivion, like I showed you with Illinois.
[00:19:17]  So they won't be able to gain as much as Republicans can in this war if Republicans go all the way.
[00:19:24]  So, timing wise, you think they picked now for that specific reason or should they have waited longer?
[00:19:29]  I think they chose now for the specific reason that there is very little time to reverse any decision.
[00:19:36]  You've got six months, meaning it's a rush job to flip these states and go plus 12.
[00:19:44]  By the time this is resolved, the election will be right in front of us.
[00:19:47]  I do think we have an interesting conundrum in what happens if someone files a suit right now, it is not resolved by the time the election happens, and then after the election, a court issues a ruling that it was an unconstitutional district and must be redrawn.
[00:20:03]  They'll have to have special elections.
[00:20:05]  So, hypothetically, there's a scenario where in February of next year, we're having another series of 20 or 30 congressional races due to the resolution coming after the election.
[00:20:15]  I think that helps the conservatives.
[00:20:17]  I agree because it.
[00:20:20]  How do you induct a new member of Congress when they're like a judge just issued a ruling that your seat is unconstitutional?
[00:20:28]  Then what ends up happening is the existing Congress says, We're not going to swear you in because you're not a member of Congress.
[00:20:33]  Your seat's unconstitutional.
[00:20:35]  This is going to be a weird scenario.
[00:20:37]  Now, there is still the very high probability, literally nothing happens.
[00:20:41]  Yeah.
[00:20:41]  I mean, maybe I'm just jaded, but that's, I'm just, you know, I'm not a nothing ever happens person.
[00:20:45]  I'm a nothing ever changes person.
[00:20:47]  And I understand that, like, For a lot of time, when you're jaded about this type of stuff, I'm like, it just doesn't seem like we're going to see plus 12.
[00:20:53]  Except for the fact that Texas already did, California already did, and Virginia just voted on it.
[00:20:59]  So to say I don't think it's going to happen when we are currently in the war.
[00:21:03]  Texas was Republicans gerrymandered.
[00:21:06]  Indeed.
[00:21:06]  But the idea here is that most of the left is already on it.
[00:21:10]  Republicans.
[00:21:11]  Well, take a look at this.
[00:21:12]  This is a viral meme.
[00:21:14]  Massachusetts, 36% Republican, no seats.
[00:21:16]  Connecticut, 42, zero seats.
[00:21:18]  Maine, 46.
[00:21:19]  Actually, Maine has one district.
[00:21:23]  New, uh, uh, was that New Mexico?
[00:21:25]  None.
[00:21:26]  New Hampshire?
[00:21:26]  None.
[00:21:27]  These are these states are all one third to one half Republican with no congressional seats.
[00:21:31]  So California is able to squeeze a few out.
[00:21:34]  Virginia, of course, is trying to put five congressional districts in Fairfax County, which would eliminate the state's going to eliminate four Republican seats.
[00:21:42]  But Republicans can gain upwards of 30.
[00:21:44]  Democrats can gain, I think, like 10.
[00:21:46]  Yeah.
[00:21:46]  So ultimately, we end up with on the in the middle of the road Republicans being plus 20.
[00:21:53]  There was just something always so depressing to me about being like the Republicans in California and they're like, We're going to squeeze a few more seats out of you as if they haven't already been beaten down enough out there.
[00:22:04]  That Virginia, they really showed the vulnerability and the way it had been being legalized in Virginia, what they tried to do.
[00:22:13]  How did they split the, was it Alexandria?
[00:22:16]  They tried to split it into five.
[00:22:16]  Fairfax County.
[00:22:17]  Fairfax?

=== Discord Community Wedding Announcement (14:49) ===

[00:22:18]  Yeah.
[00:22:18]  They tried to split it into five different districts.
[00:22:20]  They did.
[00:22:20]  Yeah.
[00:22:21]  Then their own Supreme Court.
[00:22:21]  They have five districts with thin, tiny strips stretching into just Fairfax County.
[00:22:26]  I think you're right.
[00:22:27]  It's going to be hard to prove that it's done for race.
[00:22:29]  The thing that's not true.
[00:22:30]  How do you prove that?
[00:22:31]  Because historically, it's in the historical record.
[00:22:33]  That's the point.
[00:22:34]  They were literally saying this.
[00:22:36]  So the issue is that when these states drew these maps, they were told explicitly you must draw them based on race.
[00:22:41]  Based on that precedent, they're going to say, we have to redraw.
[00:22:44]  And how are you going to challenge yourself?
[00:22:45]  They're just reversing the precedent that was already set.
[00:22:47]  We used to call, in fact, they're turning it.
[00:22:49]  They're not only reversing it and undoing it, they're like turning it around and forcing a different direction, I think.
[00:22:53]  We used to call affirmative action in like high school.
[00:22:57]  This is like in the mid 90s.
[00:22:58]  We'd be like, isn't that reverse racism?
[00:23:00]  That if a guy who's not as qualified as me, but as a black guy, gets the job instead of me, who is better, isn't that?
[00:23:07]  And they're like, no, no, no.
[00:23:08]  It's not reverse racism, bro.
[00:23:09]  It's racism.
[00:23:10]  And like, I do understand like lifting up people that didn't have.
[00:23:15]  Much growing coming up, but like you want to help out marginalized communities, but to a point, like I'm not going to stomp on my own foot to make my other foot, you know, run faster.
[00:23:24]  Like, I agree.
[00:23:26]  I mean, I feel like that's a lot of what it is.
[00:23:28]  It's toxic empathy, basically.
[00:23:30]  Like, we're just trying to help people to hurt ourselves, you know.
[00:23:33]  If Republicans pull this off and actually flip the VRA seats, the makeup of Congress will be Republican 247 to Democrat 182 and one independent.
[00:23:43]  What makes me when you said nothing happens, that was a weird kind of I was like, it just seems such an extreme change that it can't.
[00:23:49]  Like the way the world seems to work is slow change from my perspective.
[00:23:53]  Oh, it's gradual then sudden.
[00:23:55]  I've heard that too.
[00:23:56]  In fact, what's his name from Black?
[00:23:57]  Look at cell phones.
[00:23:59]  Yeah, stuff, it does happen like that.
[00:24:01]  The internet emerges in the late 80s and enters into common parlance in the early 90s, but not particularly ubiquitous.
[00:24:10]  By the late 90s, everyone I knew was online every time they weren't out doing something.
[00:24:14]  You came home, you went on the computer.
[00:24:16]  By 2008, the internet was in everyone's pocket all at once.
[00:24:19]  Over the span of one year, the internet went from something that took 15 years.
[00:24:23]  To see adoption to instantly, everyone had it 247.
[00:24:26]  I mean, wasn't that like closer to 2012?
[00:24:28]  Like with the iPhone 4?
[00:24:30]  Like 2007 was the introduction.
[00:24:32]  The iPhone 3, but like it wasn't mass adopted until people had like the iPhone 4.
[00:24:36]  No, that was the iPhone was the introduction of ubiquitous internet.
[00:24:40]  3GS was when it started kicking.
[00:24:42]  But that's not every, I guess I'm just, it's a semantic.
[00:24:44]  It's like not everybody.
[00:24:46]  The term being used is ubiquity.
[00:24:48]  Yeah, we were like.
[00:24:48]  Literally everybody had one.
[00:24:50]  Community online with the internet.
[00:24:50]  That was the beginning, at which point mass adoption skyrocketed.
[00:24:56]  In one year, it's a jump of double digit percentage year over year.
[00:25:00]  And over the course of 15 years, I mean, going to 2008, you have the course of about 15 years of people slowly adopting the internet and arguments being made it will not take over.
[00:25:10]  To then, within the span of two years, everybody has it.
[00:25:12]  This, oh, go ahead.
[00:25:14]  Oh, this seems like a situation where people are like, what, nine people are trying to decide for 100, 500,000 people how to live their life.
[00:25:23]  You mean one person decides for 775,000?
[00:25:26]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:25:27]  Well, with the Supreme Court, because I often think like, Okay, I like the Supreme Court.
[00:25:31]  I like that it exists, but at the same time, six stodgy bastards can't just like decide that I have to go smell poop.
[00:25:37]  It's nine.
[00:25:38]  It's nine, but six of them can make a decision.
[00:25:39]  You're ignoring the appellate courts and the lower district courts, in which there are thousands.
[00:25:44]  Not ignoring, but like these top down authority does make like nine people.
[00:25:48]  That's a very small number of people that can get corrupted, you know?
[00:25:51]  So it's you're putting a lot of faith in these nine people to make the right decision.
[00:25:55]  But again, it's not nine, it's thousands.
[00:25:57]  I'm just talking about the Supreme Court.
[00:25:59]  But the Supreme Court doesn't hear every single case ever.
[00:26:01]  Mm hmm.
[00:26:01]  No, but when it does and it makes a drastic decision that changes society, I think if you have a grievance with that, you're okay to investigate that grievance.
[00:26:10]  What would be the appropriate number of people to make that decision?
[00:26:13]  He wants to pack the Supreme Court, I can tell already.
[00:26:16]  Oh, man.
[00:26:16]  I do.
[00:26:17]  You do want to pack it?
[00:26:18]  Of course.
[00:26:19]  If they can work fast enough to do it with just conservative judges.
[00:26:22]  Yeah.
[00:26:23]  Just clone.
[00:26:24]  Honestly, you don't got to be conservative.
[00:26:26]  It's just not communists.
[00:26:27]  Yeah.
[00:26:28]  If you're not a communist, it's fine.
[00:26:29]  And the argument made for why is that there are 13 federal districts.
[00:26:35]  They're not called districts.
[00:26:36]  They're called something else.
[00:26:39]  When we created the Supreme Court, there were nine.
[00:26:41]  So we created a Supreme Court justice for each of the nine.
[00:26:43]  Then when we added four more, we never added any new justices.
[00:26:46]  We just doubled some up.
[00:26:47]  So that's the argument that's been presented for a long time as to why we need to add new justices because the country got bigger and we never did.
[00:26:53]  Democrats are going to do it.
[00:26:54]  We better do it before them.
[00:26:56]  Can I ask you a question?
[00:26:57]  So you mentioned Roe v. Wade earlier.
[00:26:59]  How has abortion in this country changed?
[00:27:02]  It's completely illegal in Oklahoma now.
[00:27:05]  Texas, too.
[00:27:06]  Yeah, Texas.
[00:27:07]  But I'm saying, like, people's attitudes towards it have changed.
[00:27:10]  I still see people give statistics saying, like, People are aborting babies at just as high a rate before.
[00:27:15]  You can't do it in Texas, Oklahoma, or I think what, Louisiana and Arkansas.
[00:27:20]  It was under the Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade, they could not make it illegal.
[00:27:24]  They could put certain restrictions on it.
[00:27:26]  Roe v. Wade is overturned, and overnight, there were several states that had, what are they called?
[00:27:32]  Texas had the Harvey Bill.
[00:27:34]  There are laws that are in place that as soon as the Supreme Court precedent changed, they instantly went into effect.
[00:27:39]  Okay, so that, I guess, my point is more so is there something similar that was kind of my?
[00:27:43]  Point, I was drawing comparison to what just happened here.
[00:27:46]  Is there something similar that could happen in like the span of just one night that will happen?
[00:27:51]  Yeah, right now, someone can file a lawsuit.
[00:27:53]  A regular fat, middle aged guy.
[00:27:55]  Yes, absolutely.
[00:27:56]  I bet as soon as the news broke, there were a bunch of NGOs that already had the lawsuits drafted and ready to go because this is a very obvious GOP play to win the midterms.
[00:28:06]  Like the strategy is obvious.
[00:28:08]  We want to get rid of the VRA.
[00:28:09]  Now, it's funny as Republicans are cheering for SCOTUS not getting rid of the VRA because under this opinion, it's narrow.
[00:28:17]  What's being argued is now the Republicans can actually use the VRA to get rid of any districts that they feel is racially gerrymandered.
[00:28:26]  So if they got rid of it, then it's okay, well, just don't do it again.
[00:28:30]  But with it still intact, you can now have some middle aged, you know, fat white guy who makes $30,000 a year say he can go to a nonprofit and be like, yeah, sue on behalf of me because they're discriminating against me for being white.
[00:28:41]  Okay, well, VRA says you can't do that.
[00:28:45]  There it is.
[00:28:46]  Yeah, I mean, honestly, race shouldn't impact how you vote.
[00:28:49]  It shouldn't.
[00:28:50]  Can we just pause real quick and just think about the degree of absurdity that at some point in this country they said we should have members of Congress whose standing in Congress is based just on their skin color?
[00:29:05]  That's like the antithesis of this country.
[00:29:07]  That's the antithesis of what civil rights was supposed to be.
[00:29:10]  It's the antithesis of civil rights.
[00:29:11]  We had a vice president based on the fact that she was multicultural and a woman.
[00:29:16]  She was a Supreme Court justice.
[00:29:17]  Multicultural.
[00:29:19]  I don't want to call her black because she's not really black.
[00:29:22]  She was a woman, of course.
[00:29:26]  The Supreme Court doesn't hear every single case.
[00:29:29]  Sometimes, when a case goes for the Supreme Court, they look at it and go, We have nothing to say about this and reject it.
[00:29:35]  Are the other courts beholden to states or are they like federally bound?
[00:29:39]  It's federal for federal law.
[00:29:40]  Do they all work out of D.C.?
[00:29:42]  No.
[00:29:42]  They're in states, but they do federal stuff.
[00:29:44]  They're all over the country.
[00:29:45]  New York.
[00:29:46]  Yeah, so the big controversy with the initial birthright citizenship suit to the Supreme Court, Trump's administration argued not on the citizenship question.
[00:29:57]  But on the universal injunction question, because for a long time, judges in this country had insane authority.
[00:30:05]  You could be a lower court federal judge who handles specifically the Washington area.
[00:30:11]  And what actually happened is that the Trump administration said no more transgenders in the military.
[00:30:18]  They get sued by three transgender individuals in different jurisdictions.
[00:30:24]  The result is they get an injunction.
[00:30:28]  So there's an injunction issued saying, Trump, you can't bar transgenders.
[00:30:32]  So, your executive order no longer applies.
[00:30:35]  Trump then appeals the higher court, the appellate court says, No, Trump has final say on who can.
[00:30:42]  His ban on transgenders will stand.
[00:30:45]  Instantly, another judge in a lower court issued another injunction, at which case, now you've got two separate injunctions one appeal staying that injunction, but another judge being active.
[00:30:57]  And the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court, How can we have 400 plus lower court judges?
[00:31:04]  All issuing injunctions on literally every single person in the class without establishing class.
[00:31:10]  And the Supreme Court said, correct, they cannot.
[00:31:12]  This means that if you sue, and this is actually a nuclear bomb as well, if you sue because Trump says no long haired freaky people in the military, and then Ian goes, well, I'm a long haired freaky person, so I'm suing.
[00:31:25]  Remedy can only apply to you.
[00:31:27]  They can no longer issue injunctions for anyone who's like you.
[00:31:31]  Oh.
[00:31:31]  Yep.
[00:31:32]  Only the Supreme Court, technically.
[00:31:34]  So the transgender people that would be.
[00:31:36]  Kicked out of the military due to his rule, then they win.
[00:31:38]  Congratulations.
[00:31:38]  They could get some money from themselves, but they wouldn't show up.
[00:31:40]  They wouldn't get money.
[00:31:41]  They get admitted.
[00:31:41]  So those three people would be allowed to go in if they win, but nobody else.
[00:31:45]  Which there was another interesting case that happened, which is really funny based on that ruling.
[00:31:49]  I forgot what the case was.
[00:31:49]  It was a few months ago.
[00:31:51]  Some libs sued the Trump administration and won on something that should be precedent setting.
[00:31:56]  And the Trump administration said, okay, you win.
[00:32:01]  They refused to issue an appeal, meaning that the three plaintiffs in the case got their remedy, but no one else did.
[00:32:07]  Oh, this was an immigration issue.
[00:32:09]  Some people were suing over birthright citizenship, I think, won their case.
[00:32:13]  Normally, what would happen is the government would then appeal to bring it to the higher court.
[00:32:17]  They said, okay, you three people can have your immigration status.
[00:32:22]  But nobody else.
[00:32:22]  But nobody else.
[00:32:23]  Because if they had appealed it, then everyone could have gotten it.
[00:32:25]  Because it could get to the Supreme Court, which would then issue a nationwide precedent.
[00:32:30]  Yeah.
[00:32:31]  Good strategy.
[00:32:31]  Yep.
[00:32:32]  So they're just like, okay, every single one of you will not have to sue unless a class is established.
[00:32:38]  And that's what they're trying to do.
[00:32:40]  So, they have to establish a class and justification for why that class exists.
[00:32:43]  So, could people that are suing their states be like, hey, we as white people demand you redress these or redraw these gerrymander lines?
[00:32:54]  Yes.
[00:32:55]  And the class would be white people?
[00:32:57]  Well, literally be a thing?
[00:32:58]  I don't know.
[00:33:00]  White people are already a protected class under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
[00:33:05]  Better be.
[00:33:06]  The issue right now is if you live in a district that is known to have been protected, Created specifically under the VRA, you have legal standing to sue because it's violating your constitutional rights.
[00:33:16]  I, this is spectacular information, but I want to hear Alex Stein talk about aliens all night.
[00:33:23]  I don't know about you guys.
[00:33:24]  I still want to talk about this more.
[00:33:25]  Elon and Ashley St. Clair and like baby.
[00:33:29]  What are we doing here?
[00:33:30]  Pull up Alex.
[00:33:31]  Well, we got one more story to get to before we talk about Elon making babies on Mars.
[00:33:34]  We got this from the Washington Post.
[00:33:36]  Florida has approved its redistricting plan intended to give GOP four more seats.
[00:33:42]  So let me do something really interesting.
[00:33:44]  I want to pull up 270 to win.
[00:33:46]  And show you where it gets real weird, real weird.
[00:33:50]  We pull up the house interactive map and we can take a look at this.
[00:33:54]  270 to win is already using Virginia's map.
[00:33:58]  Oh, Jesus.
[00:33:58]  Even though, oh, I got to reset this.
[00:34:01]  Even though, can you reset for me?
[00:34:03]  A court has already ruled they're not allowing it.
[00:34:07]  270 to win still considers these to be the official districts of Virginia.
[00:34:11]  Can we just do this?
[00:34:12]  Can you just look at this?
[00:34:14]  Five districts.
[00:34:14]  Look at this.
[00:34:16]  Look at this pathetic little thing right here.
[00:34:18]  Look at that.
[00:34:18]  It's probably like two feet.
[00:34:20]  There's like two feet of district right there.
[00:34:22]  Isn't that amazing?
[00:34:24]  It's all water.
[00:34:25]  So, you've got all of these thin strips stretching into Fairfax County, so they can artificially create five Democrat seats.
[00:34:35]  Now, Florida is going to redistrict, and that's just the first step.
[00:34:39]  That map we showed in the previous segment, I don't know if I have it pulled up still.
[00:34:44]  Do we have, maybe it was, where was it?
[00:34:47]  Here we go.
[00:34:49]  This map includes Louisiana and Florida.
[00:34:51]  So, if we eliminate two and four, this means between these other states, there are six seats that can be flipped.
[00:34:58]  So, what do you guys think?
[00:35:01]  Is this hypocrisy?
[00:35:02]  We're all complaining about Virginia, but Republicans are doing it all the same?
[00:35:06]  Yes.
[00:35:06]  I mean, technically, yes.
[00:35:07]  I mean, but this is literally, yes.
[00:35:09]  Isn't this the argument that happens every time whenever they talk about ending the filibuster?
[00:35:13]  They say, do it now, otherwise they're going to do it to you.
[00:35:16]  See, the thing is, Democrats do do, and Republicans don't do.
[00:35:21]  That's what I'm saying.
[00:35:22]  Like, the conservatives concern themselves with concepts like hypocrisy, and political operatives do not concern themselves with stuff like that.
[00:35:29]  Like, going to the Comey thing, too, is like, Wrapping all this lawfare and war into one big picture.
[00:35:35]  We talked about it last night.
[00:35:37]  Donald Trump was charged with a crime because his lawyer claimed he could read Trump's mind.
[00:35:44]  Cohen's like, I thought Trump wanted me to do bad things, so I did.
[00:35:48]  And then they're like, okay, Trump, you're under arrest.
[00:35:51]  If that's the standard Democrats are using, I say just run them over.
[00:35:54]  All that aside, the one you showed with like the 48% of people were Republican, but they had zero seats in the state.
[00:36:02]  It was kind of ridiculous to look at.
[00:36:04]  Yeah.
[00:36:04]  Just off of the stats a little bit.
[00:36:05]  There you go.
[00:36:06]  Kind of wild.
[00:36:06]  This is what Democrats do when they have power and Republicans don't.
[00:36:10]  Are there inverse situations where there's 38, 48% Democrats and they have no seats in certain states?
[00:36:16]  Just because big cities.
[00:36:17]  No, to be fair, probably.
[00:36:18]  But the thing about Republicans, red states, is that they're less populated, so you don't have major urban centers.
[00:36:24]  The issue with Massachusetts, the example that I'll give you is in Illinois, they intentionally connect urban centers to create districts.
[00:36:32]  In Massachusetts, they intentionally do not.
[00:36:34]  So, they can take out the political voice of the rural Republican.
[00:36:41]  So, with Massachusetts, you have dense urban pockets.
[00:36:44]  So, they take all the rural areas and connect them to the urban pocket so it turns blue.
[00:36:50]  In Illinois, you have small urban pockets.
[00:36:53]  So, they create thin strips to create, to combine them to create one Democrat district.
[00:36:58]  If the Democrats did the same thing in Massachusetts, they would connect the cities, creating rural Republican districts, but they don't do that.
[00:37:04]  They intentionally do this.

=== Massachusetts Redistricting Strategy (07:20) ===

[00:37:07]  So, maximum warfare, right?
[00:37:09]  So, Hakeem Jeffries said.
[00:37:10]  And when asked if he shouldn't have said that, he says, I don't give a damn.
[00:37:15]  Oh, he's lost his patience.
[00:37:17]  That's a stupid question.
[00:37:18]  I don't think these people had patience to begin with.
[00:37:20]  I think they are, I think they're communists.
[00:37:26]  And I'm not saying literally every Democrat voter is a communist.
[00:37:28]  I'm saying when you look at the ethos of communists, Democrat politicians hold it.
[00:37:33]  And this is funny.
[00:37:35]  I was watching a video about the original Animal Farm, considering all the Animal Farm hubbub.
[00:37:38]  Oh, Angel Studios.
[00:37:39]  Shout out Angel Studios.
[00:37:41]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:37:42]  But the original Animal Farm, it's really interesting.
[00:37:45]  The reason Orwell chose the pigs to be the leaders is that pigs are smart.
[00:37:48]  The reason he chose the dogs to be the guards is because dogs are not as smart, but smart.
[00:37:52]  And then the pack animals are hard workers, but not very smart.
[00:37:56]  The point he was making was that in a communist takeover, the smarter people steal power to manipulate the stupid.
[00:38:04]  And he brought up the point of Boxer, the horse representing the industrious working class who truly believes in the revolution and just does whatever they're told.
[00:38:13]  Then the moment they are no longer useful, instead of getting their just desserts, they're sold off to a glue factory.
[00:38:21]  Well, Machiavelli, he said it best, is that most people are good, but the people in power, most of the time, are not good because they had to do something to get in power.
[00:38:30]  Like they had to do something, cut throat, or something bad.
[00:38:33]  Like the deal I did with Netanyahu.
[00:38:34]  You know, to actually kiss the wall.
[00:38:36]  You haven't kissed it yet, but I know you're going to get close to it.
[00:38:39]  That's sort of an argument for monarchy or at least hereditary rule.
[00:38:43]  The child that didn't ask for it receives the power.
[00:38:46]  He's like, I don't want this, but I'll do my best with it.
[00:38:48]  Like Kim Jong Un, for instance.
[00:38:50]  Yeah, or his daughter.
[00:38:52]  Pretty sure he wanted it.
[00:38:53]  Did he?
[00:38:54]  He had to have his uncle for 99.9% of the vote.
[00:38:57]  Can you imagine a 12 year old chubby little Korean guy being like, kill him?
[00:39:01]  The crazy thing is, if you were 12 and your dad died and all his buddies come with you, you're like, your uncle's going to kill you if you don't have him killed right now.
[00:39:08]  And you're like, I'm 12.
[00:39:09]  And they're like, trust us.
[00:39:11]  And you're like, okay.
[00:39:11]  Oh, that's the way it always was.
[00:39:12]  And if he fled, they'd kill him wherever he went.
[00:39:15]  Yep.
[00:39:16]  And so they turn this 12 year old into a forced maniac essentially to survive.
[00:39:20]  That's why they kill Tsar Nicholas.
[00:39:22]  Because he tried to run away?
[00:39:24]  No.
[00:39:25]  At first, the Bolsheviks lock them up and they're like, listen, we're taking over.
[00:39:31]  We don't want to kill you or hurt you.
[00:39:33]  So just chill here.
[00:39:34]  We're in charge now.
[00:39:35]  And then it was some time later, they shut up and said, the people are worried that if you're still alive and your kids are alive, they may try to make a claim for rightful governance.
[00:39:45]  So bang, bang, kill this kid, kill this whole family.
[00:39:50]  That's what commies do.
[00:39:52]  Commies do it.
[00:39:53]  Yeah, they had them sequestered.
[00:39:54]  You know what else communists do?
[00:39:56]  They wear.
[00:39:57]  Your traditions and institutions like skin suits.
[00:40:00]  Yuri Bezmanov warned us about this.
[00:40:02]  They will infiltrate your institutions, they will twist them and burn them down.
[00:40:07]  They will do things like they will reimagine your traditional art in ways that is shockingly offensive and then infiltrate your conservative institutions to push that pro communist message upon you.
[00:40:20]  And they'll pay your own friends to promote it, and your friends will do it with a smile on their face.
[00:40:25]  Was Hitler just like, really?
[00:40:27]  His main thing was, I hate communists.
[00:40:29]  Was that his main thing?
[00:40:30]  It was anti communism.
[00:40:31]  We were talking about this before.
[00:40:32]  He didn't like gypsies very much.
[00:40:33]  He thought gypsies communists.
[00:40:35]  Part of it is that they were occultists who thought that they were part of some other race of people or something.
[00:40:39]  There was a lot there, dude.
[00:40:41]  The Red Scare was permeable in Germany, though.
[00:40:44]  They were really afraid and angry at communists.
[00:40:46]  They were a lot of that.
[00:40:47]  Well, they thought that one group of people would never be satisfied with enough and they needed to get rid of those people for their own.
[00:40:56]  This is the thing, though.
[00:40:57]  The communists and the fascists.
[00:41:00]  The principal difference between these groups, and I don't mean any specific fascistic political organization with an ethos or a mandate.
[00:41:07]  I'm saying the general idea is progressivism versus traditionalism.
[00:41:12]  They're both authoritarian groups that generally believe you must eliminate the undesirables.
[00:41:18]  The question is the structure of culture.
[00:41:20]  So the communists want to eliminate tradition and blank slate everything, and the fascists want to uphold tradition and have, you know, like traditional human.
[00:41:30]  Force people to say the Pledge of Allegiance, for instance.
[00:41:32]  No, that's not really it.
[00:41:35]  It's more like no porn, no gambling, men and women get married, no gay stuff.
[00:41:40]  And communists are like, humans are blank slates that can be or do anything you program them to be.
[00:41:46]  Both groups ultimately want to kill.
[00:41:49]  You remember that?
[00:41:49]  All the books about transgenderism he burned?
[00:41:51]  That one night they did a huge book burning.
[00:41:54]  But you mean just in general in society?
[00:41:56]  I'm just saying, like that was.
[00:41:57]  I know.
[00:41:58]  That's the thing.
[00:41:58]  Hitler, if you identify him with the modern era, a lot of the puritanical mindset was like, In that guy, and like, how pure do you want your society?
[00:42:10]  Only a little dirty, are only a little bit, yeah.
[00:42:12]  I know.
[00:42:13]  So, I always say, I hate communism, I don't hate communists.
[00:42:15]  Oh, I hate communists.
[00:42:16]  Are you nuts?
[00:42:16]  Like, they're misguided and can easily see the light if you show them.
[00:42:19]  We need to watch Animal Farm.
[00:42:22]  Well, the old one, not the old one.
[00:42:24]  Sometimes the kids that identify as communists are not that bad.
[00:42:27]  They're just kind of like, you know, brainwashed, I would say.
[00:42:30]  I think Ian has actually a point.
[00:42:32]  My question then to Ian, because I don't think you'd understand it, is Ian, when the Lich King stands atop the mountain, you can point to him and say, that is the Lich King, correct?
[00:42:43]  Yes.
[00:42:43]  And you say, he is evil.
[00:42:44]  I think so, yeah.
[00:42:45]  Right.
[00:42:46]  Now, when he turns the townspeople into mindless undead, Ravenous zombies that will kill you and the curse cannot be undone.
[00:42:54]  Do you just go, well, let them be?
[00:42:57]  I mean, I don't got a problem with them.
[00:42:58]  Remember, it's not Arthas that was the one, it was the Lich King himself.
[00:43:02]  Arthas is only subsumed by the people.
[00:43:04]  Arthas raised Stratholm because the people in it were converted to undead and they couldn't be saved.
[00:43:10]  Don't you forget it.
[00:43:12]  I think all souls can be reunited.
[00:43:14]  Let me just whittle through the esoteric garbage.
[00:43:18]  The story is that there was a kingdom.
[00:43:21]  Where the people had been poisoned with a disease and it was spreading.
[00:43:27]  So the king, well, it was the scourge.
[00:43:31]  But we don't want to get esoteric.
[00:43:32]  The point is this the story is a kingdom had been infected, the people were dying, and it was spreading.
[00:43:37]  So the king raised the whole world.
[00:43:40]  It was also, they were turning them into zombies.
[00:43:42]  I know, but we don't need to be overly specific.
[00:43:44]  My point is this.
[00:43:44]  They were becoming evil.
[00:43:45]  So he was like, I need to purge the town.
[00:43:47]  And the paladin's like, don't do it.
[00:43:49]  You can't do that.
[00:43:50]  That's too far, dude.
[00:43:52]  And he's the king's son.
[00:43:52]  He's like, we're doing it.
[00:43:54]  No, it is.
[00:43:54]  So they sacrifice these dying people so they don't.
[00:43:57]  That's why it's called the lynch pen.
[00:43:58]  Well, the lynch king.
[00:44:00]  Basically, that act of utilitarian evil, you might call it.
[00:44:04]  The point is this.
[00:44:04]  To protect reality made him become this.
[00:44:08]  In basic fantasy lore, there is a lich.
[00:44:11]  It is a conscious, undead entity, and it converts people to undead or makes them undead.
[00:44:17]  Like a zombie, just a zombie.
[00:44:18]  Well, so a zombie is mind control zombies, perhaps.
[00:44:20]  So the point I'm making with this, outside of the joking with Ian about fantasy stuff, I'm sure many people understood the fantasy reference.
[00:44:26]  If it doesn't, don't.

=== Left Wing Violence Allegations (08:07) ===

[00:44:27]  There are people in the Democratic Party that know full well what they're doing.
[00:44:31]  They understand they're manipulating people and they're lying and cheating for power.
[00:44:34]  And then there are regular working class people who have no idea what's going on, but believe in the cause and become NPC mindless zombies.
[00:44:42]  Some of them become violent, they become cogs in the machine.
[00:44:45]  The point I'm making is that we know the Democrats, allegory Lich King, are evil, intending to do evil things.
[00:44:53]  Not every single one of them.
[00:44:54]  I like Rokhana, I like Fetterman.
[00:44:55]  But the zombies on the ground are mindless.
[00:44:58]  You're not convincing them of anything.
[00:45:00]  You can't go to them and say, listen to me.
[00:45:02]  They're going, can't reason with them.
[00:45:04]  No.
[00:45:05]  Yeah.
[00:45:06]  Well, if you played Age of Empires, you know that a priest can.
[00:45:09]  A priest can turn you over to our side.
[00:45:12]  So glad you mentioned Federman.
[00:45:13]  Federman 2028.
[00:45:14]  I'm still on board.
[00:45:15]  I want to jump to this story right here.
[00:45:18]  And this is in light of.
[00:45:19]  Ashley Sinclair?
[00:45:19]  Is it Ashley Sinclair?
[00:45:20]  Is it Ashley Sinclair?
[00:45:21]  Ashley Sinclair?
[00:45:22]  Ashley, come back on, Ashley.
[00:45:23]  This story is in light of a recent report from the Wall Street Journal that claimed left wing violence only slightly.
[00:45:30]  Outpaced right wing violence.
[00:45:32]  Batya Unger Sargon addressed this in a long post as well as on News Nation, pointing out that these studies, like CSAS, Cato, and others, will claim that, let's say, like a white supremacist in his trailer in Arkansas gets up one day and goes to his next door neighbor to buy meth, and then a fight breaks out and he shoots him.
[00:45:52]  They call that right wing violence.
[00:45:54]  It's not.
[00:45:56]  They will claim, they did claim, that a white supremacist who punched his wife and was arrested for domestic abuse was right wing violence.
[00:46:03]  Well, I don't care about that because it's not meaningful to me.
[00:46:06]  That does not explain to me what is going on politically in this country.
[00:46:11]  So here's what I did.
[00:46:12]  Using Grok, ChatGPT, and Google, I searched for, and I did this over a couple of hours, all instances of political violence in the past 10 years where the motivations are known, clear, and commonly held political beliefs.
[00:46:31]  Boy, let me tell you, ChatGPT basically insulted me, attacked me, and refused to cooperate.
[00:46:41]  It kept saying things like, but Nazis are.
[00:46:43]  It was like, so the first thing it does is.
[00:46:45]  It's like, here's a list of politically motivated attacks, and it lists a bunch of neo Nazi violence, things that were not even well known or in the press.
[00:46:53]  And then I just simply asked, is neo Nazism a commonly held political belief?
[00:46:57]  And it went, no, it is not.
[00:46:59]  And then I said, okay, then we shouldn't include that in a graph talking about commonly held political beliefs that motivated people towards violence.
[00:47:08]  And it goes, right.
[00:47:09]  But if you do that, there is no right wing violence, literally what it told me.
[00:47:13]  And I said, well, I guess that's the case then.
[00:47:16]  So, I went through a huge list.
[00:47:18]  I had both Grok and ChatGPT pull up.
[00:47:22]  I personally fact checked.
[00:47:24]  I had some removed where I thought it was ambiguous on the left.
[00:47:28]  There are some instances of left wing violence where I don't know the motivation was clearly cut in a mainstream way.
[00:47:34]  However, as you all know, overwhelmingly, it's going to be the right wing attacks they claim that get removed.
[00:47:41]  In response to this, leftists have said, Why aren't you including neo Nazis?
[00:47:45]  To which I responded, No mainstream political personality or politician endorses those views and advocates for them.
[00:47:54]  So I don't care about the fringes that we've already condemned.
[00:47:59]  So we pulled up a list, and what do you get?
[00:48:01]  In the past 10 years, there have been 460 plus commonly held left aligned politically motivated attacks, and only one right wing aligned politically motivated attack.
[00:48:13]  Some people on the left say, What about that guy in Minnesota who killed those Democrats?
[00:48:19]  The motivation was not political.
[00:48:21]  It was interpersonal.
[00:48:22]  And even then, there is no clear cut, commonly held political belief that motivated him to do it.
[00:48:29]  The argument from the left is but he had some of those views.
[00:48:33]  That's great.
[00:48:34]  Did those views lead to the attack?
[00:48:36]  Some have mentioned the attack on Paul Pelosi.
[00:48:39]  DePap was not motivated by commonly held political views.
[00:48:43]  If a lunatic commits an act of violence, I don't care.
[00:48:46]  I didn't include in the left the killing of Irina Zarutska, but I could have.
[00:48:51]  It was a black guy who said, I got that, white bitch.
[00:48:53]  That would qualify the same as the neo Nazi attack.
[00:48:56]  I did not include those.
[00:48:58]  This is specifically, is the motivation something a Democrat or mainstream liberal pundit has said?
[00:49:06]  When the attack happened, was that their motivation?
[00:49:08]  Okay, well, then we include it in the list.
[00:49:09]  This means things like the George Floyd riots.
[00:49:12]  This means the killing of Charlie Kirk.
[00:49:14]  This means the ICE attacks.
[00:49:16]  This means the attack on the ICE facility in the Tacoma ICE facility where the guy yelled, I am Antifa.
[00:49:23]  So long as mainstream Democrats Defend Antifa and say they're just peaceful protesters or mostly peaceful protests, it's in the list.
[00:49:33]  Key takeaway from 2017 to 2026, verified politically motivated violence is overwhelmingly driven by left aligned extremist activity.
[00:49:41]  Right aligned violence is limited to a single major incident in the entire period.
[00:49:46]  What was it, by the way?
[00:49:47]  January 6th.
[00:49:48]  I suppose the big problem would be that the people on the left that don't really understand the way people on the right think because they see them as caricatures would assume that the people on the right do see neo Nazis as a Typical part of the political.
[00:50:01]  Well, they're retarded.
[00:50:02]  The point is this list is not for liberals.
[00:50:04]  This list is not to convince liberals.
[00:50:07]  This list is because I am sick and tired of conservatives arguing with liberals, and I hear the liberal go, the right wing's responsible for way more political violence.
[00:50:17]  And then the conservative goes, but that changed recently.
[00:50:20]  No, it didn't.
[00:50:22]  You can't take Cato's data and claim a meth head with no teeth, who no one's ever heard of, getting into a fight over meth is right wing violence.
[00:50:30]  More importantly, Charlie Kirk famously kicked white nationalists out of his events, all on camera saying, you are not welcome here.
[00:50:37]  So when they say right wing violence, what they Imagine there's a guy who believes that the moon is made of cheese and that NASA is importing all the cheese.
[00:50:49]  That's retarded, right?
[00:50:51]  Now imagine if he went to a school and kidnapped the principal and said he secretly works for NASA administering the cheese distribution from the moon and kills him.
[00:51:01]  Then Cato goes right wing violence.
[00:51:03]  That is not meaningful to me in any way to solve these problems.
[00:51:08]  The issue is conservatives keep using that as the basis for yes, the right.
[00:51:13]  Used to be violent.
[00:51:14]  Incorrect, they have not been.
[00:51:16]  If you used neo Nazis and you made another infographic with them, I'd be interested to see.
[00:51:21]  It would be, well, I could call neo Nazis left aligned because Graham Plattner is running as a Democrat.
[00:51:26]  Really?
[00:51:26]  It's like whenever this.
[00:51:27]  He had a Tottenham on his chest for 20 years.
[00:51:29]  Kind of like extremism is responsible for it, regardless of what side.
[00:51:32]  It's like that.
[00:51:33]  How about we do this?
[00:51:34]  Sorry, just real quick.
[00:51:35]  Racial identitarianism is more dominant on the left.
[00:51:39]  So neo Nazism should be included in left aligned because that's where racial identitarianism is.
[00:51:46]  Is pushed for in government.
[00:51:47]  They also, like, a lot of those studies would include, like, Islamist violence as right wing.
[00:51:52]  Indeed.
[00:51:53]  And they would include anti anything that was pro Palestine was removed from the list, but anything that was Islamist in general was right wing.
[00:52:03]  Yeah.
[00:52:04]  So if it was Islamist anti Israel, it's removed, but if it was Islamist general against the West, it was right wing.
[00:52:11]  Yeah.
[00:52:11]  Plus, we know that there's one side that makes excuses for Islamist violence.
[00:52:15]  I'm going to make this argument.
[00:52:16]  I'm going to ask you a question.
[00:52:18]  Which political party pushes for race based policies?
[00:52:24]  Which political party?
[00:52:25]  Generally, the Democratic Party has been.
[00:52:27]  Indeed.
[00:52:28]  So, when you're looking at the Democrats' push for POC only spaces, right?

=== Political Ad Revenue Sources (15:56) ===

[00:52:35]  They did this at the UC system in California.
[00:52:37]  They wanted race based dorm housing.
[00:52:40]  Do you think a Nazi would agree or disagree with the Democrats' plan for racially segregated dorm housing?
[00:52:45]  They would agree with it.
[00:52:46]  Then we should put every neo Nazi in left aligned.
[00:52:48]  Mm hmm.
[00:52:50]  Well, I mean, if you look at the Proud Boys, they think they're like the, you know, next coming of the actual Nazis.
[00:52:57]  And it was created by Gavin McInnes, a guy you've had on the show a bunch.
[00:52:59]  It was a joke.
[00:53:00]  Based on what Aladdin, right?
[00:53:02]  Yeah, or no, it was a different play.
[00:53:03]  It was called, like, Proud of Your Boy.
[00:53:05]  Yeah, it was a song from Aladdin, I think.
[00:53:06]  Is that what it was?
[00:53:07]  But I'm saying it started off as a joke, and they literally thought it was the biggest domestic terrorist organization in America.
[00:53:13]  So I don't know.
[00:53:14]  It can't be.
[00:53:14]  It wasn't funded by the SPLC.
[00:53:17]  I don't know if it was.
[00:53:17]  I don't know.
[00:53:18]  I know that they didn't.
[00:53:19]  Allegations that they were the ones that went after Gavin the most.
[00:53:22]  So, but I don't know.
[00:53:24]  Did you see F 37?
[00:53:25]  Do you see who that was?
[00:53:27]  Got paid like $300,000, maybe?
[00:53:29]  They identified him.
[00:53:30]  Well, no, but they said he was organized.
[00:53:32]  F 9 became an informant to the DOJ, snitching on.
[00:53:37]  So, this is where things get crazy in the SPLC.
[00:53:39]  In their response, apparently they said that their F 9, that's what they're calling the person, their source informant, has flipped and is now an informant for the DOJ.
[00:53:52]  Indicating the criminal case is predicated upon a neo Nazi telling the feds they were actually getting me to do these crimes.
[00:53:59]  So, when they say, and all the Democrats are like, no, no, it's just an informant.
[00:54:03]  Actually, the informant told the DOJ apparently that they were paying him to commit the crimes and to do the hate.
[00:54:08]  So, this indictment doesn't come from nothing.
[00:54:12]  Do you think it was Richard Spencer or Nick Fuentes?
[00:54:15]  People are speculating on the internet that that was one of the names.
[00:54:18]  Nah.
[00:54:19]  You don't?
[00:54:19]  No, I don't think Fuentes is a Fed or anything like that.
[00:54:22]  Oh, you don't?
[00:54:22]  No, I don't think Spencer is either.
[00:54:24]  A lot of people do.
[00:54:26]  A lot of people like it.
[00:54:27]  I'm not even saying.
[00:54:28]  I'm not saying that, but I mean, that's a common.
[00:54:30]  You think it's weird that Nick and Candace abruptly just traveled to Rome at the same time?
[00:54:33]  Italy?
[00:54:33]  That was kind of weird.
[00:54:34]  But Nick's talking about it.
[00:54:35]  That's the exact same thing.
[00:54:36]  It's funny, though.
[00:54:36]  Do you see that guy trying to get him to move his car?
[00:54:38]  I saw it, but I didn't watch the video.
[00:54:41]  Yeah.
[00:54:42]  So Nick's got a video where he's like, no one's going to believe it.
[00:54:45]  Like, what are the chances that I go to Rome?
[00:54:48]  And on the same day, Candace abruptly just announces she's taking an impromptu vacation to Rome.
[00:54:53]  You didn't hear what Laura Loomer said.
[00:54:54]  It was because the Vatican invited them, because the Pope's beefing with Trump.
[00:54:58]  And so that's why the Pope is trying to get.
[00:55:01]  Candace and Nick are anti Trump.
[00:55:03]  Yes, that's what Laura Loomer said.
[00:55:06]  She speculated that.
[00:55:07]  I don't.
[00:55:07]  Well, to be fair, I mean, Nick does live in Chicago, and this is.
[00:55:10]  I know he is a Chicago Pope, and I think his brother still lives in the area.
[00:55:14]  And Nick would have to address it because everybody wants to know why they both went to Rome at the same time.
[00:55:19]  And the only thing he could say is it's a coincidence, I swear.
[00:55:23]  It is a weird coincidence.
[00:55:24]  I mean, no way, I don't believe it.
[00:55:26]  You think they're having a meeting with the Pope?
[00:55:27]  Oh, I don't know about me with the Pope.
[00:55:29]  I'm just saying it's not random that Nick and Candace both went to Rome at the exact same time abruptly.
[00:55:36]  Yeah, that's it.
[00:55:36]  I'm sorry.
[00:55:37]  I don't look.
[00:55:38]  And then, Candace, did you love that true social post from Trump of the AI image of her face looking horrible?
[00:55:44]  That was AI?
[00:55:46]  Oh, yeah.
[00:55:46]  I mean, it wasn't a real picture.
[00:55:47]  I don't think it was her, actually.
[00:55:48]  It was someone else.
[00:55:49]  It was just some woman, wasn't it?
[00:55:50]  I think it was her from when she had a lawsuit and her apartment was in the house.
[00:55:55]  Oh, right.
[00:55:55]  I think it's a real picture.
[00:55:56]  But I mean, I know Candace is your favorite podcaster, so I don't want to say anything to piss you off.
[00:56:02]  I think it's an op.
[00:56:03]  I think the Democrats realized they couldn't get their left wing Joe Rogan.
[00:56:08]  And we had predicted this back in 2024 that they were going to be dumping tens of millions of dollars.
[00:56:13]  Like they pulled the contract from Rachel Maddow.
[00:56:16]  These powerful interests have billions of dollars to spend.
[00:56:19]  George Soros has billions of dollars.
[00:56:20]  They're not going to sit there and be like, we lose the media game.
[00:56:22]  But you're not going to get a left wing Joe Rogan because they want authenticity.
[00:56:25]  So, what happens?
[00:56:27]  The interesting thing that I've brought up time and time again is that the RPMs on the search term Erica Kirk is comparable to finance, indicating there's either an algorithmic push or someone has put a ton of money on Google.
[00:56:40]  To pay people indirectly to make content about Erica Kirk.
[00:56:45]  Hmm.
[00:56:47]  I don't know.
[00:56:47]  I don't know if Google is manipulating it like that.
[00:56:50]  You think so?
[00:56:51]  You think YouTube is sure?
[00:56:52]  I said either algorithmically or someone put money on Google ads.
[00:56:57]  Any person in the world can go on Google ads, set up a series of ad buys, put a million bucks per month, and say, target these search terms.
[00:57:07]  And then what that does is the algorithm will promote that to sell inventory.
[00:57:12]  And that search term will see a higher return for the person who created the video.
[00:57:15]  Why Erica Kirk's volume is so high makes literally no sense.
[00:57:20]  Typically, if you have high content volume, you get low RPMs.
[00:57:25]  If the inventory is massive, then the advertiser can get cheap space.
[00:57:30]  They don't got to bid for it.
[00:57:31]  If there's limited space like finance, the cost goes way high because there's not enough content to purchase.
[00:57:36]  Well, to be fair, there are a lot of people that are newish content creators that are getting tons of views just talking about Erica every day because there's money behind it.
[00:57:46]  Why the algorithm is promoting it and why the RPM is so high does not make sense in the real world.
[00:57:54]  Yeah, it's totally.
[00:57:55]  I mean, it's a military tactic, dude.
[00:57:58]  If you can get your adversarial nation's citizenry to go at each other, you've basically won the war.
[00:58:05]  Let me frame it like this for you.
[00:58:06]  I was arguing about them.
[00:58:07]  So, in like 2008, the most valuable search term, do you guys know what it was?
[00:58:13]  You want to take a stab at what the most valuable term?
[00:58:16]  I know that the thing that Walmart sells the most of is bananas.
[00:58:20]  That is a product they sell the most of.
[00:58:21]  So, I'm guessing something.
[00:58:22]  So, the way Google ads work for websites is if your website.
[00:58:27]  Has a bunch of instances of a word on it.
[00:58:30]  Google Ads will scrape it and then deliver ads based on those words on your website.
[00:58:34]  It's a little bit different now, but this is 2008.
[00:58:37]  Mesothelioma.
[00:58:39]  It was number one?
[00:58:40]  Number one because of lawsuits.
[00:58:42]  A lot of commercials back then.
[00:58:43]  There were a lot of class action commercials like crazy.
[00:58:45]  Exactly.
[00:58:46]  It was the number one CPM.
[00:58:49]  So what happened is tons of people started making mesothelioma blogs and they would compete for the top search engine spot.
[00:58:57]  If someone searched mesothelioma and you were number three on the list, you were probably making a million bucks a month.
[00:59:03]  All your website was, was one page saying, here's what mesothelioma is, here's a list of people, and then Google Ads would appear and people could click to find a lawyer.
[00:59:12]  The lawyers were paying insane amounts of money to find these clients.
[00:59:17]  The point is, economically, when it comes to ads, the money comes from somewhere.
[00:59:22]  So finance has a high RPM because there's a limited content space, but the people who purchase financial services tend to be wealthy.
[00:59:30]  Poor people ain't buying wealth management for the most part.
[00:59:32]  This means that a banker can spend $100,000 on an ad because one client might net him over three years half a million dollars.
[00:59:40]  If you are selling politics, for instance, right now, RPMs are between $5 and $8.
[00:59:46]  Why?
[00:59:47]  Ain't nobody advertising in politics right now.
[00:59:49]  Not a single politician is buying.
[00:59:51]  But come October, come September, maybe even August, RPMs on political content is going to go up to $10 to $15 and then peak at $20.
[01:00:01]  During a presidential election, Political content is going to be around $20.
[01:00:05]  That's usually the high point.
[01:00:06]  And that's because every single political institution is buying to have an impact.
[01:00:12]  Right now, what money is made by an advertiser on Erica Kirk?
[01:00:17]  Nothing.
[01:00:19]  There is nothing you can buy.
[01:00:21]  There is no politics behind it other than to destroy Turning Point pre midterms, indicative of a political play to prop up content that will burn Turning Point down because they're rallying young people to vote for Trump.
[01:00:34]  I think it's even more Republican.
[01:00:36]  Although it is tied with Turning Point, that it's a hot button topic that'll get the Republican Party's following to rip itself apart.
[01:00:43]  Happens to be Erica.
[01:00:44]  Indeed.
[01:00:44]  The only problem is no one cares about politics in the offseason.
[01:00:47]  So RPMs are low, except on anti Turning Point content.
[01:00:52]  So Charlie's dead, and seven months later, you will make bank by making videos attacking Turning Point for some reason.
[01:00:59]  Have you noticed comparable value to things just straight up attacking Charlie Kirk or Turning Point without mentioning Erica Kirk?
[01:01:05]  Or is it the name Erica Kirk that's getting the only.
[01:01:09]  Nobody's making seven months on incessant long form videos about in support of Charlie Kirk and opposing the conspiracy theories.
[01:01:17]  The conspiracy theories get tons of views, but specifically Erica Kirk, which is why so many shows have started Kirk posting.
[01:01:23]  So many people have.
[01:01:24]  Why that is, the only guess I have is that someone is dumping money right now to destroy Erica Kirk.
[01:01:34]  They're definitely coming after Turning Point right now because they can kind of smell blood in the water.
[01:01:38]  Are you still doing stuff with Turning Point?
[01:01:39]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:01:40]  Wrapped up the semester is great.
[01:01:41]  We just did Missouri, University of Missouri, had a bunch of great debates.
[01:01:45]  And Turning Point, I love them.
[01:01:46]  I have no complaints.
[01:01:47]  But right now, a lot of the goodwill that Turning Point had after Charlie's death, it's kind of the tide is changing a little bit.
[01:01:54]  Why is it changing?
[01:01:55]  Well, part of the reason is Charlie's not there.
[01:01:58]  Right, but.
[01:01:59]  And the Iran war, I think, is a big thing because a lot of people know.
[01:02:01]  Charlie was in favor of it.
[01:02:03]  He was loosely in favor of it.
[01:02:05]  Well, when Trump struck, so before the 12 day war, Charlie said, no, no, no.
[01:02:11]  When Trump struck, he said, I stand by my promise.
[01:02:13]  Charlie was going to go with whatever the administration wanted.
[01:02:15]  Exactly.
[01:02:16]  You know, he was a diehard.
[01:02:17]  So listen, Charlie Kirk, a lot of people are doing revisionist history when it comes to Charlie and changing his political viewpoints.
[01:02:24]  One thing I know that he might have had some criticisms about Israel, but he would never stop defending them or.
[01:02:28]  Supporting them.
[01:02:29]  I don't think that was.
[01:02:29]  A month before he did a video with Colvet where they're trying to convince Gen Z to back Israel.
[01:02:33]  Exactly.
[01:02:33]  Well, I think that was actually a couple months before.
[01:02:36]  But yeah, that video actually blew up where he had the Turning Point students kind of talk about the elephant in the room, you know, Israel's influence, which you don't think they have any.
[01:02:44]  But I do think that.
[01:02:45]  I never said that.
[01:02:46]  You said that they don't have any influence and that they're the good.
[01:02:48]  This is what I. I'm going to say this about the Israel people.
[01:02:50]  I have a couple of dollars in my pocket.
[01:02:52]  So the problem that we have right now in this country is, you know, I told this to Myron Gaines.
[01:02:59]  Like, I'm like, bro, when you post happy merchants, you lose any goodwill you might have to convince people.
[01:03:05]  And so, if you look at like Dan Bilzerian's fans, if I say something on the show, like if I tweet right now, the U.S. should stop funding Israel, they will just attack me like crazy and then make videos insulting me and calling me a Zio shell, even if I agree with them.
[01:03:20]  Now, the question I have is, what is the function of that?
[01:03:24]  Do they want me to agree with them or to disagree?
[01:03:26]  Most people, when attacked, take the inverse position.
[01:03:30]  So, the Right.
[01:03:32]  As I explain with persuasion, social engineering, the first thing you have to do to convince someone is build rapport.
[01:03:37]  Rapport, extreme turn.
[01:03:39]  The first thing you do is you go to somebody, let's say you find a lib, you want to try and change their mind.
[01:03:43]  You have to agree with them and say, I hate Trump, you know, Kamala Harris all the way, right?
[01:03:47]  Actually, Bill Maher inadvertently does this on Club Random all the time.
[01:03:50]  You then present an extreme circumstance they can't agree with.
[01:03:53]  And in fact, Bill Maher does this inadvertently all the time.
[01:03:56]  And then it forces the other person to change their mind.
[01:03:58]  So, you know, good examples are when Seth Green was on Bill Maher's show and He's like, I'm a lib, I hate Trump.
[01:04:04]  Seth Green goes, Okay, cool, we're friends.
[01:04:07]  Then Seth Green goes, Trump made me think about thought crime and like how we're getting there.
[01:04:11]  And then Bill Maher says, Hate speech laws are a thought crime.
[01:04:15]  He creates a circumstance where he's like, Actually, look at this extreme position.
[01:04:19]  And it's not that heavy, but because it's inadvertent.
[01:04:21]  Seth Green goes, Wow, I never considered that.
[01:04:24]  That's how you change your mind.
[01:04:25]  And Ross at a very viral clip last week.
[01:04:27]  Same thing.
[01:04:28]  So the point I'm making about the Israel people is like, I'm going to throw up my buddy Clint Russell as a really great example.
[01:04:34]  I have continually made the point that Israel derangement syndrome is when you associate Israel with things that it's totally unrelated to.
[01:04:40]  Like the opiate.
[01:04:40]  Assassination of JFK, 9 11.
[01:04:43]  Well, I'm not even going to hear that stuff because conspiracy theories are conspiracy theories.
[01:04:46]  No, I'm talking about the opiate trade in West Virginia.
[01:04:48]  Okay.
[01:04:49]  That's Israel derangement syndrome.
[01:04:50]  Well, the Sackler family was Jewish, though, right?
[01:04:53]  And therein lies the issue that they find one morsel to connect the threads, even though the issue of opiates in West Virginia is more closely tied to China if you want to make a political argument.
[01:05:02]  Clint Russell then makes a video called Israel.
[01:05:04]  Israel Derangement Syndrome debunked with a picture of me in the thumbnail yelling at the camera where he criticizes me for things I never said.
[01:05:11]  So, what is the function of that?
[01:05:12]  Is that to convince me that I'm wrong or is that to just lie for views on the internet to pander to people who don't care one way or the other?
[01:05:19]  I think it's more of the lies just trying to make money, just trying to critique you because people do, you know, Tim, you are very popular, but the more popular you get, the more haters you get.
[01:05:28]  You know that.
[01:05:29]  So, people are just going to try to, I guess, clout chase or try to make money off that.
[01:05:33]  So, I mean, I think that's more of it than it is like them trying to convince you or make you feel guilty for not being.
[01:05:38]  Agreeing with them.
[01:05:39]  The interesting thing, though, is the end result of, like, in response to having Randy Fine on the show, the end result of this is massive support for Israel.
[01:05:48]  The response that I've seen.
[01:05:49]  Well, I would argue that Laura Loomer and Mark Levin actually create more anti Semitism than about anybody.
[01:05:53]  Oh, yeah, Daniel Zahn or Jake Shields could ever imagine doing.
[01:05:56]  Mark Levin, I get.
[01:05:57]  Laura Loomer is not Mark Levin level, in my opinion.
[01:06:00]  Laura Loomer is pro Trump.
[01:06:01]  She takes the Trump thing on everything.
[01:06:03]  Mark Levin is the Israel thing, and he is insufferable.
[01:06:05]  But my point is the response that I've gotten from normies after having Randy Fine on is why are they so crazy about Israel?
[01:06:14]  Oh, my God, dude.
[01:06:16]  So I go play poker all the time.
[01:06:18]  Randy Fine comes on the show.
[01:06:19]  I talk to some random guy who's not big in politics.
[01:06:22]  He sees the Twitter posts, he sees the comments, and he's like, what the fuck? Is wrong with those people.
[01:06:28]  The visceral psychotic reaction to me having a conversation with a guy they don't like resulted in regular, uninitiated people being like, wow, the anti Israel people are insane lunatics.
[01:06:38]  So, this is my point.
[01:06:39]  So, I told Myron Gaines this.
[01:06:40]  I'm like, bro, if you have an argument about Israeli government policies, military action, US involvement, AIPAC, and all that stuff, posting a happy merchant creates a repulsion.
[01:06:51]  Well, Kurt Metzger had a really good advice to me because we were just talking and he's very critical of Israel.
[01:06:56]  But he said, you can never say the Jews.
[01:06:58]  You can never say that.
[01:06:59]  He goes, if you want to critique Israel, just never say the Jews and you'll be okay.
[01:07:03]  Dave Smith does a great job because he never does any of these ridiculous things.
[01:07:06]  He has legitimate criticisms over Israeli policy and influence in the US government.
[01:07:10]  And that's what I told these guys.
[01:07:12]  I said, you should be more like Dave be fun, be funny, and be smart and accommodating.
[01:07:18]  But when you're antagonistic, people who watch that take the side of the person who's victimized.
[01:07:23]  Yeah, of course.
[01:07:23]  So it's almost like these people are pro Israel inadvertently because.
[01:07:29]  You know, the argument is.
[01:07:30]  Well, because they care about Israel so much that it's like they're obviously a little bit of a fan if you know about Israel.
[01:07:35]  That's not what I mean.
[01:07:36]  What I mean is, if you walk up to two people and they were both, and one guy had his hands up being, please, dude, just stop, just stop, and the other guy punched him, you would say, the guy swinging is the bad guy.
[01:07:46]  And you would rush to the fence of the guy who got hit.
[01:07:49]  What if it turned out the guy who got hit was a pedophile who had just been caught with a child?
[01:07:54]  This actually happened with Luke Rikowski's friend who there was a shooting in a mall.
[01:07:59]  His friend, Came in to stop the shooter and drew his weapon.
[01:08:02]  When the police came in, they saw him with the gun and shot and killed him.
[01:08:05]  Oh, wow.
[01:08:06]  The point is when it comes to issues of persuasion, if you really do have a legitimate criticism of Israeli influence because they've done something wrong, but you were online saying fat Jews, you piece of trash, regular people walk up and see you being crazy and take the side of the person who's being attacked.
[01:08:27]  Well, you just made $7,000 in the chat, so congrats.

=== Fox News Audience Targeting (15:36) ===

[01:08:31]  Sure.
[01:08:32]  Ching.
[01:08:33]  7,000.
[01:08:33]  If they really paid 7,000 bucks, I probably would be pro Israel, honestly, if that was.
[01:08:37]  Let's talk about Animal Farm.
[01:08:39]  Oh, my gosh.
[01:08:39]  Did you promote them?
[01:08:41]  No, no, I haven't.
[01:08:41]  But I've done a lot of Seven Angels videos.
[01:08:43]  Did they try offering you money to promote Animal Farm?
[01:08:45]  I don't think so.
[01:08:46]  They might have reached out to Rad, but I feel like we are promoting some Angel Studios, but not Animal Farm.
[01:08:50]  A bunch of people deleted their tweets.
[01:08:51]  Funnily enough.
[01:08:52]  Wait, wait, take that back.
[01:08:53]  The tweets that.
[01:08:55]  About Animal Farm.
[01:08:56]  There were a handful of paid Animal Farm promos from prominent right personalities, and they deleted them because they started getting attacked for it.
[01:09:03]  I don't think Riley Gaines deleted hers.
[01:09:05]  But hers looked like a copy and paste.
[01:09:07]  And I got to tell you, Alex, it is fairly demoralizing to see all these right wingers promote welfare soda, India, gambling websites, and a pro communist movie for money.
[01:09:19]  They don't care.
[01:09:19]  No.
[01:09:19]  These people didn't watch the movie.
[01:09:22]  They make these posts, and you're supposed to believe the person you're following is expressing a genuine thought or opinion.
[01:09:27]  Yeah.
[01:09:28]  And I'm going to say this again.
[01:09:30]  I told my wife the reason why I made an announcement we will not accept this money from Angel Studios is because I know.
[01:09:36]  This offer went up to a bunch of conservatives, and they're all going to start promoting this.
[01:09:40]  They're going to promote, like, bro, let me tell you, conservatives are promoting communism for pay.
[01:09:45]  Yeah, they are.
[01:09:46]  And I mean, to be fair, you know, everybody gets attacked and accused of being a grifter.
[01:09:51]  And sure, we got to pay our bills.
[01:09:52]  We got to sell a t shirt here and there, sell a little coffee.
[01:09:55]  But when it comes to paid advertising ads like that, people are just trying to make ends meet and they're going to go, they don't care about the movie.
[01:10:01]  They don't care about the.
[01:10:02]  But this is indicative of the rest of their opinions.
[01:10:05]  Typically, these people, when they're not selling, they want clicks because they want engagement, they want ad dollars or otherwise.
[01:10:11]  So I can only presume any one of these individuals who is willing to take money to promote welfare soda, India, gambling, specifically fly by night foreign gambling, and, uh, uh, uh, Pro communism films wearing our traditions like skin suits, they're probably lying about all of their opinions because they're saying the things they think will get them clicks.
[01:10:30]  Well, we're going to find out very soon when MAGA is over and we're going to see if JD Vance or Rubio can just take the MAGA coalition and carry it.
[01:10:40]  I don't think either of them necessarily can.
[01:10:43]  I mean, if Hillary Clinton couldn't do it with Obama, then I don't think they're going to be able to do it.
[01:10:46]  But that's where we'll know who's going to be clicking and who's going to be on the side of politicians that aren't popular because people are going to have to go to Ted Cruz or they're going to have to go.
[01:10:54]  Thomas Massey, and I think that's going to cause a lot of.
[01:10:57]  Massey's neck and neck right now, apparently.
[01:10:58]  We were talking to Ed.
[01:11:00]  I mean, he should win.
[01:11:01]  He acts like he's not scared of, you know, AIPAC spending all that money, but obviously it's a lot.
[01:11:07]  It's very scary if they're doing that.
[01:11:08]  Yeah, I got to be honest, though.
[01:11:09]  I think Massey's got a bright future ahead of him.
[01:11:11]  I think if.
[01:11:12]  How do you say that?
[01:11:12]  You think he's going to run for president?
[01:11:14]  No, he doesn't need to.
[01:11:14]  I think if Massey leaves, his gravitas is tremendous and he can have way more persuasive power in the political space as a free agent as opposed to being in Congress.
[01:11:25]  I don't know if that's true.
[01:11:26]  I mean, not having a position, the next administration is not going to hire him.
[01:11:30]  Do you think the left is going to hire him?
[01:11:31]  No, I'm saying he's going to be a prominent personality leading the charge in the populist right.
[01:11:39]  Yeah, I mean, he kind of is.
[01:11:41]  But I look at Marjorie Taylor Greene stepping down from Congress.
[01:11:45]  It feels like all the people that are, you know, actually have the balls to speak out against.
[01:11:50]  Alex, let me tell you what's going on.
[01:11:51]  Okay.
[01:11:52]  Yeah, you tell me.
[01:11:52]  We're in the political dead season.
[01:11:54]  Yes.
[01:11:54]  I've been there, done that.
[01:11:55]  We've been talking about this a lot.
[01:11:56]  It's very dead.
[01:11:57]  And so these people.
[01:11:59]  Are trying to figure out how to remain relevant when it's the only thing they have.
[01:12:02]  Well, that's true because there's, I think, 452 congressmen and women, and only about 25 of them are famous.
[01:12:08]  So they're all trying to, you know, say that.
[01:12:10]  But it's not just that.
[01:12:10]  It's the pundits, it's the grifters, it's the conservative personalities.
[01:12:14]  Right now, as the outsider, Democrats have a ton of attention.
[01:12:18]  Everything Trump is doing is evil, so they are the resistance.
[01:12:22]  But if you're a conservative voter or a moderate right leaning voter, you don't care about anything.
[01:12:26]  You voted for Trump and you left, just like the Obama voters who were anti war left as soon as he got in office.
[01:12:32]  This is.
[01:12:32]  Is every single political cycle.
[01:12:35]  But what if you're a grifter who needs to sell ads?
[01:12:38]  What if you need to post on X, get a million views so you can go to an advertiser who's willing to have you promote communism for pay?
[01:12:46]  How do you do it if you're not getting the retweets?
[01:12:48]  Well, secretly.
[01:12:48]  Anti Trump, anti Kirk, anti Israel generates clicks.
[01:12:52]  Those three topics do, but generally, Fox News got their best ratings when Obama was president.
[01:12:58]  Agreed.
[01:12:58]  So it's easier to grift, quote unquote, if the opposite person is in power.
[01:13:02]  So here's the issue.
[01:13:03]  When you are massively underwritten like Fox News with carriage fees and you're getting 80 to 100 million per year, no matter what, you can withstand an off year where no one is talking.
[01:13:15]  I mean, you turn on Fox News right now and what are they talking about?
[01:13:17]  They're talking about largely cultural issues.
[01:13:19]  You turn on MSNBC.
[01:13:19]  The ballroom.
[01:13:20]  They won't shut up about the ballroom.
[01:13:21]  You turn on MSNow and they're like, Trump is Hitler.
[01:13:25]  The world is ending.
[01:13:27]  They're kidnapping children.
[01:13:28]  They're the resistance.
[01:13:29]  So views for liberal content still remain high.
[01:13:32]  Yeah.
[01:13:33]  For exactly the reason you just described.
[01:13:34]  Here's the thing though.
[01:13:36]  If you are a working class influencer who makes maybe $60,000, $70,000 a year posting YouTube videos and X posts, you lost all your views.
[01:13:46]  Your numbers just went in the gutter.
[01:13:49]  Why?
[01:13:50]  Because when Obama was running for office, all of the anti war people were on the streets every day.
[01:13:57]  As soon as he wins, they disappear.
[01:13:59]  Oh, yeah.
[01:13:59]  There's no Trump wins for that side.
[01:14:01]  This is what happens every political cycle.
[01:14:04]  The president wins.
[01:14:05]  Sounds like we won the culture war.
[01:14:07]  Right.
[01:14:07]  And so what happens is after a presidential victory, you have the first hundred days.
[01:14:12]  Viewership declines a bit for the season, but people kind of stick around to see what the president is going to do, and there's a lot of attention around it.
[01:14:19]  But into the next holidays, Before the midterm spending cycle and after a presidential election, no one is following politics anymore.
[01:14:28]  Right now, with the culture war, Democrats are glued to it because Republicans control everything.
[01:14:33]  Republicans don't pay attention because they control everything.
[01:14:37]  So there's very little to say.
[01:14:38]  Trump secured the border, he got the domestic issues.
[01:14:40]  There are still the diehards paying attention.
[01:14:42]  But if you were a guy who was making 70K a year, posting X on X and making videos and doing memes, you're not getting those anymore.
[01:14:50]  So what are we seeing?
[01:14:51]  Right wing meme accounts are now posting generic viral videos.
[01:14:55]  Or they're anti Trump now.
[01:14:57]  Because you go anti Trump, you get clicks.
[01:14:59]  You go Erica Kirk, you go Israel, you get clicks.
[01:15:03]  This trend is going to be interesting as we get into the midterms.
[01:15:07]  Like with the DeSantis cycle, we might see many of these people come back together.
[01:15:12]  Do you remember like the DeSantis?
[01:15:14]  I don't think there's a possibility where everybody comes back together.
[01:15:17]  Well, they sold their audience like CNN did.
[01:15:19]  CNN had a moderate audience.
[01:15:21]  Trump gets elected, they attack Trump and create a liberal audience.
[01:15:25]  A few years later, they try to back away under Biden.
[01:15:28]  Their ratings are gone forever.
[01:15:29]  Yeah.
[01:15:30]  Because the moderates used to watch are like, I don't want to watch that lib crap.
[01:15:33]  I was one of them.
[01:15:34]  I used to watch CNN 24-7.
[01:15:36]  I still kind of watch it just for the opposition research.
[01:15:38]  But it's not news anymore.
[01:15:40]  Yeah.
[01:15:40]  That's the problem.
[01:15:41]  Well, I mean, Fox News is not really news.
[01:15:43]  No, Fox News is news.
[01:15:44]  Brett Baer talks about what's going on in the news.
[01:15:46]  You watch The Five, you watch Laura Ingram or Hannity, you're not getting news.
[01:15:50]  Yeah.
[01:15:50]  But you watch, you know, America Report.
[01:15:53]  There's some news on there, but there is a lot of bias.
[01:15:55]  Let's not act like they don't have a huge conservative slant.
[01:15:58]  That's right.
[01:15:59]  I'm not arguing they're pundits.
[01:16:01]  I'm arguing Brett Baer and America's Newsroom general news coverage is news.
[01:16:05]  You turn on CNN, you don't get it.
[01:16:07]  You turn on MSNI, you don't get it.
[01:16:08]  So, my point is what we're seeing now when we get back into the political cycle, I'm looking at all these people that have turned themselves into Israel channels.
[01:16:17]  Like my dude, that is a small market share.
[01:16:20]  It may be bigger right now than politics because politics is the offseason.
[01:16:23]  But if you just decide to be an Israel poster and you abandon your base, what are you going to be when politics is mainstream and $10 billion is spent in the cycle?
[01:16:31]  And regular people look at you like you're retarded.
[01:16:33]  Well, let me tell you why I think you're wrong, sadly.
[01:16:35]  And I think it was Randy Fine that said it on this podcast there's 9 million Jews in Israel.
[01:16:41]  I think there's 15 million Jews in America.
[01:16:43]  And there's.
[01:16:44]  No, no, no, 15 million diaspora worldwide.
[01:16:45]  Okay, so there's 15 million worldwide, but there's 1.8 billion Muslims.
[01:16:51]  So there's always going to be a Muslim audience that is probably not going to be very pro Israel.
[01:16:54]  So you could argue that, yeah, maybe your domestic audience might get smaller, but your international audience could blow up.
[01:16:59]  Completely agree.
[01:17:00]  My point is that you're not going to have your audience back.
[01:17:04]  They may make money off Pakistan and Indonesia or Malaysia or something.
[01:17:08]  But in two years, when we're in the full throes of the presidential cycle and $7 billion is likely, I think the projection is what, $8 billion for 2028 expected to be spent?
[01:17:21]  I think Obama was the first billion, and now it's expected to be exponential.
[01:17:26]  You are going to have every facet of mainstream American culture focused on this upcoming election.
[01:17:32]  We have a dual primary for the first time in what, 10 years?
[01:17:36]  So we had the Republican Democrat primary in 2016.
[01:17:39]  But then with 2020, we only had a Democrat one.
[01:17:42]  And technically in 2024, we didn't have any primary at all.
[01:17:46]  Because although there was technically a Republican one, or I'm sorry, in 2023, it didn't really matter because everyone knew it was going to be Trump.
[01:17:52]  For the first time, we're going to have Democrats and Republicans in a primary season dumping billions of dollars.
[01:17:58]  That amount of money is going to be focused on economics.
[01:18:01]  Israel is not going to matter to your run of the mill plumber or teacher when it comes to how they're paying their health care bills.
[01:18:08]  By all means, the Israel posters, the channels are dedicated to nothing but Israel content, may still get Malaysian viewers or a certain sect of American viewers, but it's small market share.
[01:18:17]  My point is this.
[01:18:18]  If you were a political channel that received a general political audience, you have growth potential.
[01:18:22]  But the focus on Israel is limited domestic potential.
[01:18:26]  By all means, you can do what Jackson Hinkle did, move to Russia or whatever.
[01:18:29]  Is that where you went?
[01:18:30]  You went to Russia?
[01:18:31]  I don't know.
[01:18:31]  I mean, I know he's doing that like American communism gimmick.
[01:18:34]  But I just, when it comes to this content, there is going to be an audience for the anti Israel crowd.
[01:18:41]  And so I just don't think it's just going to die after the midterms.
[01:18:44]  No one said that.
[01:18:45]  Well, you just said Joe Plummer and stuff, the people are not, you know, the uneducated voters are not going to be that.
[01:18:50]  I didn't call him uneducated either.
[01:18:51]  Okay, what you insinuated.
[01:18:53]  My insinuation is a regular working class guy doesn't care.
[01:18:58]  He wants to know how to get into politics.
[01:18:59]  If we actually, and that's the one thing, though, if you made a podcast talking all about American domestic issues, nobody's going to listen.
[01:19:04]  But if you made a podcast talking about our foreign issues, people will listen.
[01:19:07]  No, my point is during a political cycle, everyone is listening because they want to know who to vote for.
[01:19:15]  They're dialed in, yes.
[01:19:16]  Right now, no one is because nothing's happening and there's nothing you can do about it.
[01:19:19]  I think even during political cycles, 70% of the population is tuned out.
[01:19:24]  Yeah.
[01:19:25]  That's actually, well, you know, I flip a coin on that one.
[01:19:28]  Maybe, maybe you're half right.
[01:19:30]  The issue is that politics right now in our generation is pop culture.
[01:19:34]  When Jimmy Kimmel does nothing every day but talk about politics, I would largely disagree.
[01:19:39]  I would say right now, if you look at search trends, it's all sports.
[01:19:43]  People don't care.
[01:19:45]  And it's gambling that's driving a lot of the sports stuff.
[01:19:48]  Yeah.
[01:19:49]  People right now are like, look, there's no elections.
[01:19:51]  I don't care.
[01:19:51]  No money's being spent.
[01:19:52]  No one's focused on it.
[01:19:54]  In the next couple of months, we're going to start getting all of this crazy primary action.
[01:19:58]  Congressional primaries don't matter all that much, but about a month or two before the election, they're going to be spending billions of dollars on ads, and that's going to mandate that media shift.
[01:20:08]  Put it this way let's say CNN.
[01:20:11]  Advertiser comes to them and says, I want to run a commercial in my district on CNN saying, vote for me.
[01:20:19]  But you guys only talk about sports, so I'm not going to buy from you.
[01:20:22]  CNN goes, no, we're doing special election coverage.
[01:20:25]  Okay, I'll buy from you now.
[01:20:27]  These guys.
[01:20:28]  Who do these ad buys are going to put a decent chunk onto ESPN.
[01:20:33]  You will see political ads in every space possible, but the biggest chunk of ad spending appears in political spaces.
[01:20:39]  Notably, when Bloomberg bought his half a billion in ads, it appeared on political channels because he's trying to capture the people who are folks in politics.
[01:20:46]  He wants that name recognition.
[01:20:47]  More importantly, he was targeting opposition.
[01:20:50]  So my channel had an insane amount of Bloomberg ads on it.
[01:20:53]  Like that dude basically funded my entire, what, 2018, 2019?
[01:20:58]  It was later than that, too.
[01:20:59]  I was in the room.
[01:21:00]  It was 19.
[01:21:00]  It was happening.
[01:21:01]  It was nuts.
[01:21:02]  Like, people would be like, bro, I watch your videos.
[01:21:04]  I only get Bloomberg ads.
[01:21:05]  And I'm like, because Bloomberg knows you guys who watch don't like him.
[01:21:10]  He knows I'm criticizing him.
[01:21:12]  And this is his opportunity to put his message in front of my content.
[01:21:15]  It's like how Ben Shapiro's ads all pull up.
[01:21:18]  If you look at Tucker, I have YouTube Premium, so I don't see this, but I've seen screenshots.
[01:21:22]  If you go look at Tucker's YouTube page, you're going to get targeted ads from Ben Shapiro.
[01:21:26]  Is it like a commercial being like, hey, guys, come watch?
[01:21:28]  Yes.
[01:21:28]  Yeah, but I don't think.
[01:21:30]  He definitely wants his audience to get some of Tucker's.
[01:21:33]  I do not.
[01:21:34]  Don't play Dom.
[01:21:35]  Come on.
[01:21:35]  I don't.
[01:21:35]  Think that Ben Shapiro went on Google Ads and said, run my ad on Tucker content?
[01:21:39]  Somebody at Daily Wire did.
[01:21:40]  No, they probably went to Google Ads and said, if it's conservative, right leaning, or in the space, run my ad on it, which includes Tucker.
[01:21:47]  I mean, go look at Ben Shapiro.
[01:21:48]  He makes a Tucker video every other day.
[01:21:50]  So I don't know.
[01:21:51]  I mean, I have a Google Ads manager, and I'll tell you how it works.
[01:21:55]  So I think you're being naive.
[01:21:58]  I think you don't know how Google Ads works.
[01:21:59]  You don't think anybody at Daily Wire that works on Ben Shapiro's social media said, hey, we're making tons of Tucker Carlson content.
[01:22:07]  We should probably advertise it to the people that like Tucker, whether they change it or they.
[01:22:13]  Well, the majority of people that I'm saying, when you go to Tucker's YouTube page, you want to watch a Tucker video.
[01:22:17]  I get it.
[01:22:17]  You're going to get it.
[01:22:18]  Alex, the insinuation you're making is that Daily Wire is not profit motivated.
[01:22:21]  They are.
[01:22:22]  Then they wouldn't run the ads on Tucker content if they hate Tucker.
[01:22:25]  Well, you know, it's funny we say they're profit motivated.
[01:22:27]  They want to make money.
[01:22:27]  But at the same time, I think you could argue that Ben Shapiro probably does work for Israel.
[01:22:31]  And it's probably.
[01:22:32]  I mean, honestly, I think you could make that argument.
[01:22:34]  But.
[01:22:35]  And your argument is he's really dumb.
[01:22:38]  Well, no, because if they're just trying to get.
[01:22:40]  If they care more about getting a certain message out than how many people actually see the message, that's not an effective way to do it.
[01:22:46]  So that's really dumb.
[01:22:47]  I think they're targeting Tucker fans.
[01:22:49]  I don't know.
[01:22:49]  I mean, I don't think it's as big a conspiracy.
[01:22:51]  I don't think it's a big action.
[01:22:53]  I think the problem I have with it is you're making too many leaps.
[01:22:56]  The way Google Ads works, so I'll tell you because I have an ads manager, is they do it for you.
[01:23:01]  Well, you can search a certain demographic, a person that is.
[01:23:04]  Indeed.
[01:23:05]  And you typically, you can, but you usually don't say Tucker Carlson.
[01:23:09]  You say conservative, right leaning, nationalist, foreign policy, and that will include Tucker Carlson.
[01:23:16]  The insinuation that the Daily Wire intentionally runs their content on Tucker's ads.
[01:23:20]  I don't want to say conspiracy, but that means they're not profit driven because that would just lose them money.
[01:23:27]  They wouldn't build an audience that actually hurt their audience by doing so.
[01:23:30]  I don't know.
[01:23:31]  It's not a horrible tactic.
[01:23:33]  I mean, we ran an ad on Sam Cedar's page, I think.
[01:23:36]  Yeah.
[01:23:37]  Well, to be fair, we ran an ad on Sam Cedar's channel saying, don't watch Sam Cedar.
[01:23:41]  It was kind of a gag.
[01:23:41]  I actually like that, but Israel is fighting an eight front war and they've spent billions of dollars.
[01:23:47]  I mean, that's what they say, a thousand million on trying to create more positive influence.
[01:23:52]  Oh, yeah.
[01:23:53]  Has that worked out for them?
[01:23:54]  No, it's actually her.
[01:23:55]  But TikTok, you know, you can't even like post a juice post on TikTok anymore.
[01:24:00]  Yeah, except now the Ellisons announced that 49.5% of Paramount will be owned by the Saudis and the Qataris.

=== Free Press Israel War Coverage (11:13) ===

[01:24:07]  What the fuck?
[01:24:07]  They own a bunch of movies and stuff.
[01:24:09]  No, they own a bunch of our media.
[01:24:10]  I don't know.
[01:24:11]  Barry Weiso getting a $100 million deal, Tim Carter.
[01:24:13]  $150.
[01:24:14]  You know, she sucks.
[01:24:15]  And her free press gets no views, Tim.
[01:24:19]  I mean, if she got $150, you deserve a billion.
[01:24:22]  That's correct.
[01:24:22]  Yes, I do deserve a billion.
[01:24:23]  $50 million for a year?
[01:24:24]  No, no, no, for a buyout.
[01:24:26]  To basically just.
[01:24:27]  Have her company be the one that is running.
[01:24:30]  But I think you're missing the big picture.
[01:24:32]  Yes.
[01:24:32]  I think you're missing the big picture on this one.
[01:24:34]  Here's what I think happened I think Paramount, CBS, Elson, they went to Barry and they said, We want you to run news at CBS.
[01:24:42]  And she said, I'm rich and I own my own company.
[01:24:44]  I don't need to do it.
[01:24:45]  And they said, How much do you want to come and work at CBS?
[01:24:48]  She's like, I'm not going to do it.
[01:24:50]  They said, Okay.
[01:24:53]  How about we buy you out and then you come and work for us?
[01:24:55]  And she said, I've got 100,000 paying subscribers.
[01:24:59]  I do eight figures.
[01:25:00]  I don't need this job.
[01:25:02]  Why should I?
[01:25:03]  Like, here's the question for a buyout when you're generating that kind of money.
[01:25:08]  If you make 10 million profit per year, do you need to go work for somebody?
[01:25:12]  The only way they could have got Barry Weiss is to buy her out for a ridiculous amount of money.
[01:25:16]  Yeah, but what they were buying is not worth that money.
[01:25:18]  So I feel like they bought her because she's influential and they know what her bias is going to lean.
[01:25:23]  And they got mad at CBS.
[01:25:24]  No, no, no.
[01:25:25]  Stop, stop, stop.
[01:25:26]  Wait, I got to address what you said.
[01:25:28]  What they're buying wasn't worth the money.
[01:25:32]  They're buying a Zionist editor in chief.
[01:25:34]  Yes.
[01:25:34]  It's worth every penny to them.
[01:25:36]  Well, probably so.
[01:25:37]  That's why they spin it.
[01:25:37]  But there you go.
[01:25:39]  So it makes sense.
[01:25:40]  Well, and also, you know, there was this unfavorable news clip from CBS, it was 60 Minutes specifically, where they talked about, you know, Gaza and said how it was bad.
[01:25:49]  And they also covered the pager bombing and kind of showed a not super pro Israel side of the pager bombing.
[01:25:55]  You know, they were a little more.
[01:25:56]  Free press has called, has said Israel's got an extremist problem and highlighted the West Bank.
[01:26:01]  Well, I think that you can't really debate that.
[01:26:02]  I mean, it's pretty bad.
[01:26:03]  Even the free press is saying it.
[01:26:05]  I'm saying you look at the pictures before October 7th and it was a nice, you know, flourishing city on the water.
[01:26:10]  And now you look at it and it's flattened like a.
[01:26:12]  You mean Gaza?
[01:26:13]  Gaza.
[01:26:13]  I'll send them to the West Bank.
[01:26:15]  The free press wrote that the Israeli settlers are extremists attacking Israel.
[01:26:20]  And they are.
[01:26:20]  They'll just go into Palestinians' houses and kick them out, literally.
[01:26:24]  Indeed.
[01:26:24]  Those videos go really viral.
[01:26:26]  They'll hit them with their shoes.
[01:26:28]  It's a bad situation.
[01:26:29]  They're definitely violent in the West Bank.
[01:26:31]  I think they're definitely violent in Gaza, too.
[01:26:33]  Right.
[01:26:33]  So ultimately, I think Arn McIntyre said if your political elites aren't willing to drop billions of dollars to buy a media organization to support their cause, then what are you actually even doing?
[01:26:42]  Something like that.
[01:26:43]  And.
[01:26:45]  I'll put it this way.
[01:26:47]  What I love about the Israel conspiracy stuff is that Israel's just really, really bad at it.
[01:26:53]  It's like they're.
[01:26:57]  You make tons of money on X being anti Israel.
[01:27:00]  Yeah, but I think this is the problem, though, is that in the 80s and 90s, even Howard Stern, he's Jewish, he'd make all these Jew jokes.
[01:27:07]  But now it's gotten where everybody's keeping score in the pro Israel crowd.
[01:27:11]  And then if you even just make fun of them, you're an anti Semite.
[01:27:13]  So they're creating more anti Semitism by accusing everybody of being a Nazi and anti Semite.
[01:27:18]  I think that's what's hurt them in the public relations.
[01:27:21]  And they've always done that.
[01:27:22]  There's a famous Seinfeld episode about this.
[01:27:24]  I mean, actually, of course.
[01:27:25]  But I'm saying we used to kind of have a sense of humor about Jewish jokes back in the 90s and early 90s.
[01:27:30]  George's dad?
[01:27:32]  Oh, well, they do festivals.
[01:27:33]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:27:34]  He's like, everyone's anti Semite.
[01:27:36]  And they're like, Frank, not everyone's an anti Semite.
[01:27:38]  He's like, it's anti Semitism, I'm telling you.
[01:27:40]  No matter what it was, he was because he was a Jew.
[01:27:43]  Yeah.
[01:27:44]  So my point is, I think that we've gotten where we can't have a sense of humor about this stuff anymore.
[01:27:49]  And I saw, I do think your argument is correct.
[01:27:51]  And I was trying to agree with you with the Kurt Metzger thing.
[01:27:53]  When Myron does post the happy merchant, it is funny, but it gets him a lot of negative attention, which he can't really rectify right now.
[01:28:02]  Hopefully, you can't debate that.
[01:28:04]  There is a guy who woke up this morning and he threw some melon into a blender with some yogurt and then he put a little almond milk in it and drank that.
[01:28:14]  Sounds like you.
[01:28:15]  He opened up his sports betting app and then he was looking at the games that were going on and he turned on the news and then he heard something about a shooting with the White House and he's like, wow.
[01:28:25]  He's like, I don't even.
[01:28:26]  But do you think the correspondence thing was real or fake?
[01:28:28]  One second.
[01:28:29]  And he goes, I don't even know what this is.
[01:28:31]  I have no idea what's going on.
[01:28:33]  In the next few months, as we get into the political cycle, he's going to see more and more advertisements.
[01:28:37]  And this guy generally just doesn't know or care.
[01:28:40]  Okay.
[01:28:41]  Then he sees Myron Gaines start dressing up like a Jew and doing Jew dancing.
[01:28:46]  And then he goes, These people are assholes.
[01:28:50]  And then he bumps into a Jewish guy at a diner who, or like a Hasidic Jew.
[01:28:55]  And then he just thinks, Well, that guy wouldn't mean to me at all.
[01:28:57]  That's the normal interaction that human beings have.
[01:29:00]  If you live in New York.
[01:29:01]  Or he goes into a bank and they deny him for a bank loan and he's like, I don't like that.
[01:29:05]  That's just not realistic for a regular person.
[01:29:07]  If you live in New York, you've probably bumped into an Orthodox or Hasidic Jewish guy who was nothing but nice to you.
[01:29:13]  So I lived on Myrtle and Nostrand and one block over, there was like a Jewish supermarket and they were the nicest people in the world to be.
[01:29:20]  I would say generally, most Jewish people are actually secular and not even super religious and very laid back.
[01:29:25]  And this is the point.
[01:29:27]  Not that Israel is good or bad or that.
[01:29:29]  You know, Jews are in Hollywood controlling what you mean.
[01:29:31]  None of that.
[01:29:32]  My point is, the regular interactions of a person tend to be not in the news cycle.
[01:29:38]  Just, I got a friend who's Jewish.
[01:29:40]  He's very nice to me.
[01:29:41]  And then I saw this guy insulting him and accusing him of things on the internet.
[01:29:45]  I hate those people.
[01:29:47]  So I'm like, Dave Smith is a comedian.
[01:29:49]  Yeah, he's great.
[01:29:50]  He goes into venues and makes everybody laugh and then has legitimate criticisms of US military possible and Israeli influence.
[01:29:57]  And that regular guy laughs the whole time, busts a gut, and then says, That was interesting.
[01:30:02]  I didn't know that, Dave.
[01:30:04]  He's smiling and happy.
[01:30:05]  And Dave will say to him, Don't be mean to your neighbor.
[01:30:08]  And he goes, I agree.
[01:30:09]  Dave gets the message through to people.
[01:30:11]  And these other people, they don't.
[01:30:15]  But your Wiles Correspond Center, yeah, of course it happened.
[01:30:18]  Yeah, but didn't you?
[01:30:19]  You saw the video where, you know, Oz is on stage and then you see Trump has like a normal face and then Melania looks very scared.
[01:30:25]  And in the video, you hear like the boom, boom, boom, boom.
[01:30:28]  You hear four booms.
[01:30:29]  I don't know.
[01:30:29]  And there's every camera.
[01:30:31]  I'm not saying it's fake, but you know, I'm a big conspiracy theorist.
[01:30:34]  I just, it seems like.
[01:30:35]  The coordinated effort where everybody's tweeting about the ballroom, too, after that seemed kind of inorganic.
[01:30:41]  So, some of it was obviously coordinated.
[01:30:43]  Not all of it was.
[01:30:44]  Ballroom tweets, you have to get.
[01:30:45]  Yeah, Mike Cernovich was ruptured into this.
[01:30:47]  I'm like, that dude's not coordinating messaging the way these other people are.
[01:30:50]  Well, there's some people that hop on it organically, right?
[01:30:52]  But you only need a few big accounts to kind of.
[01:30:54]  So, you think it was inorganic?
[01:30:55]  You think it was because of the ballroom?
[01:30:56]  Well, I think.
[01:30:57]  I mean, I think it's a possibility.
[01:30:59]  I don't think Trump would actually do a false flag at this event.
[01:31:02]  He could just trust the main benefit for the ballroom, right?
[01:31:06]  I don't think that.
[01:31:07]  And what's the benefit?
[01:31:08]  I don't know.
[01:31:08]  A Kamala Harris voter did not just put himself in prison for the rest of his life so that they could introduce legislation for a ballroom.
[01:31:15]  Well, but what I think is the more likely scenario is it's not that Trump is like playing 5D chess and telling Cash Vertel, hey, do this, but it's that they have these like sleeper cell people that are mentally ill that they've radicalized with the internet.
[01:31:27]  And at some point, they could just do something that activates him.
[01:31:30]  This guy was not your typical mentally ill guy.
[01:31:33]  Well, he kind of was.
[01:31:34]  He was a teacher, he was a nerd.
[01:31:36]  Yes.
[01:31:36]  That's the type of person that can.
[01:31:37]  Hold on, hold on.
[01:31:38]  Let me finish my point.
[01:31:39]  The scary thing about this guy was that by all.
[01:31:42]  Modern sensibilities, he looked normal.
[01:31:44]  Yeah, he looked like he was pretty sexy.
[01:31:46]  He isn't some guy who had, like, you know, pictures of, you know, upside down Rush Limbaugh with, like, a knife in the wall or anything like that.
[01:31:53]  You think they're.
[01:31:53]  He was a teacher who then traveled nonchalantly and coherently drafted a message saying Trump is an evil pedophile rapist.
[01:32:01]  Those are common mainstream Democrat views.
[01:32:04]  Those are, and those are talking points I've had to debate all semester.
[01:32:07]  But at the same exact time, he's a guy that's probably against the Second Amendment, probably not a gun nut, but there are liberal gun nuts.
[01:32:14]  So, somebody had to radicalize him somewhere to be like, hey, get the gun, drive across state lines, you know, go in there.
[01:32:19]  What do you mean, like a specific individual had to do that?
[01:32:22]  It's called Every Day Nonstop.
[01:32:24]  Bro, we've talked about this.
[01:32:26]  He's radicalized by this stuff.
[01:32:28]  They can make an algorithm.
[01:32:29]  You have been on the show with us where we have said, after Charlie was killed, the rhetoric from all of these libs is an avalanche that is normal.
[01:32:37]  Actually, we said after Luigi Mangione.
[01:32:39]  Yeah, because you made it.
[01:32:40]  When they celebrate assassins, it only takes one guy out of 70 million to decide to be the quote unquote hero the left has asked him to be.
[01:32:49]  So, who had to radicalize this guy?
[01:32:50]  How about 70 million Kamala voters who were on TikTok saying who's going to do it?
[01:32:54]  But you're in a room with like thousands of people and he didn't even hit one person.
[01:32:58]  Never got in the room.
[01:32:59]  What are you talking about?
[01:33:00]  You said he shot four rounds.
[01:33:02]  Okay, wait, hold on.
[01:33:02]  We did hear misinformation that he was taken out by the Secret Service and you're like, what?
[01:33:06]  But you know, he never got anywhere near the ballroom.
[01:33:09]  Well, he got like in the hallway.
[01:33:10]  There's a hallway that leads to stairs, which go down to the ballroom, and he got tackled in the hallway.
[01:33:14]  Well, if he shot four times in a packed hallway, you think it would have hit one person as well.
[01:33:18]  He hit the Secret Service agent.
[01:33:19]  Is that true?
[01:33:20]  The official story is he fired and hit a Secret Service agent in the chest, and then they subdued him.
[01:33:25]  There was a camera every inch of that place, and we don't have footage of him running.
[01:33:29]  We do.
[01:33:30]  They posted footage of him riding.
[01:33:31]  There's security footage of him kind of running, but you just think we'd have him shooting the gun.
[01:33:35]  All I know is it's probably real, but now we've lost so much trust in the government that I'm not surprised at everybody on the internet saying it's fake.
[01:33:41]  I think that's what we're going to do.
[01:33:41]  Actually, I think this is a really good example of how the left is organizing to win politics.
[01:33:47]  So, like the example that I like to use is Rumble, for instance.
[01:33:51]  The narrative early on when Rumble launched was that the views were fake.
[01:33:55]  And this was pushed by libs who wanted to censor people on YouTube primarily.
[01:34:01]  And it's pushed today by people who don't like, primarily, Dan Bongino.
[01:34:05]  The only issue is, like, for us, all I can say is, like, I track the analytics and it's the same analytics we've always had.
[01:34:09]  We've seen minor growth.
[01:34:11]  Our viewership, same.
[01:34:11]  In fact, we've had the best sales numbers we've ever had in terms of ad sales in a political offseason because our viewership has been increasing with Rumble and we sell ads to that audience.
[01:34:20]  So, where is this narrative that people put out that Rumble views are not real?
[01:34:24]  It's intended to say, stay on YouTube, stay on YouTube where we can ban you.
[01:34:30]  And then when you go to a platform that's saying, we won't ban you, the narrative emerges, your views aren't real, and the advertisers pull out.
[01:34:36]  Well, guess what?
[01:34:37]  We've sold more in ads in the past two months than we ever have on Rumble.
[01:34:42]  We've made more money on Rumble than on YouTube.
[01:34:44]  Rumble is definitely disrupting the social media hosting video sites.
[01:34:48]  I mean, it's definitely one of the biggest.
[01:34:49]  I'm saying.
[01:34:50]  I think you could argue the kick in.
[01:34:52]  The narrative around the White House shooting being fake is all part of, in my opinion, either it could be emergent, but the libs, the left, the Democrats have been desperately trying to figure out how to shatter the right.
[01:35:05]  So, what do you do?
[01:35:06]  There's a handful of things you can do lie, cheat, and steal.
[01:35:09]  Put money into Google for content that is anti Trump and anti Erica Kirk, destroy Turning Print USA, kill Charlie Kirk, spread lies about your political enemies, and ban them off YouTube.
[01:35:18]  People are pissed that I said that that was a conspiracy.

=== Turning Point USA Conspiracy Theories (09:18) ===

[01:35:20]  I didn't know everybody here was a conspiracy.
[01:35:22]  What was a conspiracy?
[01:35:23]  The White House Correspondence Center.
[01:35:24]  I didn't know everybody was a conspiracy.
[01:35:25]  Because most people don't think this.
[01:35:27]  And what we're seeing online is mass formation psychosis.
[01:35:32]  That's part of it.
[01:35:33]  When it happened, I'm at a bar and everyone walks over to the TV and they stare at the screen as Trump was giving a dress and they show the security footage and the guy subdued and they're just going, wow.
[01:35:41]  Well, it's like every protest.
[01:35:42]  Trump is a pedophile.
[01:35:43]  Trump is a pedophile.
[01:35:44]  Yet the last four years of Biden was in office, they didn't spend any time or resources trying to throw him in jail for being a pedophile.
[01:35:49]  So I think it just proves that he was.
[01:35:51]  My point ultimately is you've got a lot of people saying things like, man, I'm seeing online, everyone thinks the shooting was staged.
[01:35:57]  It's like, no, you saw a video with 500 comments claiming that you thought that was everybody.
[01:36:02]  Yeah.
[01:36:03]  Well, we've lost trust in the government, too.
[01:36:04]  Well, you shouldn't have had it.
[01:36:06]  Let's talk about Elon Musk.
[01:36:07]  From the New York Post Elon Musk set for major SpaceX payday if he settles 1 million people on Mars.
[01:36:14]  This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
[01:36:17]  It got approval in January.
[01:36:18]  He would get 200 million super voting restricted shares of stock as long as the colony is permanent, has at least 1 million residents, and SpaceX has hit a market valuation of $7.5 trillion.
[01:36:29]  The time frame on this that it has to happen by?
[01:36:32]  I don't know.
[01:36:33]  Bro, how do you even ferry 1 million people?
[01:36:37]  Well, I mean, it's going to take.
[01:36:40]  Are we going to even act like this is real?
[01:36:42]  That's my point.
[01:36:43]  It's ridiculous.
[01:36:43]  Type in Devon Island, NASA.
[01:36:45]  You can look it up right now, Tim, on your computer.
[01:36:47]  Oh, no.
[01:36:48]  Yes, dude.
[01:36:49]  I don't believe that we have anything on Mars right now, dude.
[01:36:51]  There's no way we're on Mars sending a video live feedback.
[01:36:55]  What is Devon Island?
[01:36:56]  Devon Island, type in Devon Island, NASA.
[01:36:58]  That's where they expose them filming.
[01:37:00]  They expose all of this quote unquote Mars rocks.
[01:37:03]  It's the exact same as Devon Island.
[01:37:05]  Type in Devon Island, NASA.
[01:37:06]  You mean this Mars researchers rendezvous on a remote Arctic island?
[01:37:09]  Are you saying that the Curiosity probe wasn't real?
[01:37:12]  Are you saying there's nothing on Mars right now, dude?
[01:37:15]  If you believe that, you're an idiot.
[01:37:16]  And I know that's going to be mad disrespectful to a lot of people in the chat, maybe Tim.
[01:37:20]  But yeah, dude, I don't think that they have a freaking thing on Mars right now.
[01:37:23]  Alex, Alex.
[01:37:25]  I don't believe it.
[01:37:25]  Alex.
[01:37:27]  I'm from Mars.
[01:37:28]  Yeah, I know.
[01:37:29]  Maybe you probably are a Martian.
[01:37:31]  Elon Trump and I came here at the same time together.
[01:37:33]  Barron actually was already here.
[01:37:34]  He left early.
[01:37:35]  And there's already a Mars colony.
[01:37:37]  So this is actually a setup because now Elon's going to pretend like he builds it.
[01:37:42]  We've been there the whole time.
[01:37:43]  Us Martians have been around on Earth for a while.
[01:37:46]  And you see what happened is our peoples terraformed Earth a long time ago.
[01:37:50]  And we moved our base to Mars for the past 10,000 years.
[01:37:54]  And we're now going to take back over the government of Earth.
[01:37:56]  But we need a one world government so we can control everybody.
[01:37:58]  Well, Ronald Reagan did say it, and other presidents have said it.
[01:38:01]  The only unifying Force that would unify the entire world would be an outside alien threat, and that's how they would start the one world order.
[01:38:07]  A new world order would be a fake alien invasion.
[01:38:10]  They're trying.
[01:38:11]  So, what is this Devon Island you're talking about?
[01:38:14]  I'll find it right now.
[01:38:15]  I know, but NASA said that they do research on Devon Island in 2002.
[01:38:18]  Yeah, so there's a bunch of images where they actually took a real picture of Devon Island and they took images of quote unquote Mars, and it's exactly the same.
[01:38:26]  So, all I'm saying, just type in Devon Island exposed.
[01:38:28]  It's just, I don't believe that something's on Mars right now, and then they make all these stories.
[01:38:32]  Oh, Elon's going to put a million people there and get $7.5 trillion.
[01:38:35]  It's all fake, it's all gay.
[01:38:36]  Yeah, shout out, Candace.
[01:38:39]  I just don't like it.
[01:38:40]  Why are you shouting her out in that?
[01:38:41]  Just to troll you, just a little bit.
[01:38:42]  I thought you'd get mad.
[01:38:43]  But I figured.
[01:38:44]  I didn't know if she'd said something about Mars being.
[01:38:46]  No, she's a flat earther, big time.
[01:38:48]  So.
[01:38:49]  Well, no one ever accused her of being smart.
[01:38:51]  Well, to be fair, I did call her smart, so.
[01:38:53]  You did win.
[01:38:54]  Yeah, I said, I think she is super smart.
[01:38:56]  I think she's a genius.
[01:38:57]  Oh, okay.
[01:38:58]  Well, I've only heard you say the C word, and that wasn't very nice.
[01:39:00]  Well, that's different.
[01:39:01]  I think she's a genius.
[01:39:02]  I think everything she's doing is intentional.
[01:39:04]  I think her mispronunciations are intentional, too.
[01:39:07]  Those are funny.
[01:39:08]  Right, because it's like George W. Bush.
[01:39:11]  It's relatable to regular people to be an everyman.
[01:39:14]  And Candace, she does the Stanley Cup.
[01:39:16]  She says debacle and kerflaffle and things like that.
[01:39:19]  And so people view her as relatable and like them.
[01:39:23]  Yeah, I think there is an argument to that.
[01:39:25]  But yeah, Devin Island, I think that Mars, give me a break.
[01:39:28]  And dude, the Artemis mission that they just did, they showed us the one picture of the backside of the moon.
[01:39:32]  We got 4K cameras on our cell phones.
[01:39:34]  They couldn't put a camera on the outside of it and give us like a good video of it.
[01:39:37]  And outside of what?
[01:39:39]  Artemis, the dark side of the moon, the part of the moon that no human being has ever seen.
[01:39:42]  We've never even taken a picture of it.
[01:39:44]  That's not true.
[01:39:45]  The dark side of the moon?
[01:39:46]  So, first, there's no such thing as a dark side of the moon.
[01:39:49]  The back side of the moon.
[01:39:50]  We have photos of it from satellites.
[01:39:52]  Oh, my.
[01:39:52]  You have fake photos.
[01:39:53]  So, once again, no, By all means, generated images.
[01:39:56]  If you want to argue we've never gone there, fine.
[01:39:58]  But to first start by saying we've never gotten a photo, and then, like, we have, you go, yeah, well, it's fake then.
[01:40:03]  Pick one, bro.
[01:40:04]  No, it's consistent.
[01:40:04]  It's probably a fake photo on some satellite that's probably on a balloon anyway, because it doesn't even make sense how satellites work.
[01:40:10]  Here's the truth, Alex.
[01:40:11]  See, that is more likely.
[01:40:13]  I'm not.
[01:40:14]  I know that, oh, Alex is so dumb, but I'll tell you, there's Parts of the earth that is unexplored.
[01:40:19]  I'm not saying there's all these extra outer lands, but.
[01:40:21]  Bro, you know how awesome that would be if this was true?
[01:40:23]  You know, there's, I think it's the 60th parallel.
[01:40:26]  No, let's do it.
[01:40:26]  There's no independent investigation of the.
[01:40:28]  Let's get a plane.
[01:40:29]  I can afford it.
[01:40:29]  And we will fly over the ice wall.
[01:40:31]  I know.
[01:40:32]  And we'll look up General Admiral Byrd in this long shine.
[01:40:35]  We're going to make it to Atlantis, bro.
[01:40:37]  Well, it's not that it's hollow earth, but he did say this is one of the first generals in American history to go explore Antarctica, said that it was so big and that it wasn't just ice.
[01:40:46]  There's actually tropical areas.
[01:40:48]  You can type in General Admiral Byrd talking about how.
[01:40:51]  Antarctica was not exactly how people thought, and that there's enough resources in just Antarctica enough to supply the land.
[01:40:56]  That's where we all live, actually.
[01:40:57]  Wait, so does this mean like me, Trump, and Elon are from southern Antarctica where it's all tropical and abundant?
[01:41:02]  Is this the stuff about the ice wall?
[01:41:04]  Elon, because he's just knocking up Ashley St. Clair and she won't shut her mouth up on the internet.
[01:41:08]  I mean, so his judgment can't be that good.
[01:41:10]  He's getting a space nutting in any crazy girl.
[01:41:14]  Shout out Ashley St. Clair.
[01:41:15]  I'm on Team Ashley.
[01:41:16]  But you know what I mean?
[01:41:17]  If he's so smart, why is he just having all these baby mamas and signing NDAs and not expecting that to backfire?
[01:41:22]  Because he's from the future.
[01:41:24]  Trump is probably from the future.
[01:41:26]  You know what's really funny is that you saw those pictures?
[01:41:28]  Yes.
[01:41:29]  From 18 something, whatever, that were golden buses that said Trump on them.
[01:41:33]  No.
[01:41:34]  Dude, okay.
[01:41:34]  You saw those, right?
[01:41:35]  Well, I know about the book.
[01:41:36]  No, no, you didn't see those?
[01:41:37]  No, no, no.
[01:41:38]  Oh, wow.
[01:41:38]  But then, if you actually look at the storyline of Back to the Future, it actually coincides exactly with Donald Trump because you have Biff has the big casino.
[01:41:47]  And I always thought that was a lot like Donald Trump.
[01:41:48]  And they base it.
[01:41:49]  They admit that they base it.
[01:41:50]  Look at these images.
[01:41:52]  Some guy in the 1800s drew these golden buses that say Trump on them, and there's a blonde guy driving them.
[01:41:57]  What are the chances?
[01:41:58]  And it says $45.99.
[01:42:00]  And so, what I'm saying is, Trump's in his time machine, right?
[01:42:03]  And he lands in like 1892, where this Charles Delshaw is sitting there, like drawing a picture.
[01:42:09]  And he looks up, and then this vehicle appears in front of him.
[01:42:12]  And then Trump gets out and looks around.
[01:42:14]  He goes, Baron, you put in the wrong date.
[01:42:16]  We're in 1892.
[01:42:18]  We need to go to 1992.
[01:42:19]  Let's get back in.
[01:42:20]  And then they disappear again.
[01:42:22]  And then this guy starts drawing the sketch of this golden.
[01:42:25]  Okay, I got to tell you, if Trump was going to build a time machine, it would look like that.
[01:42:29]  You know, Trump is actually known as being an artist, and he actually loves to draw and supposedly drew.
[01:42:34]  I've seen a picture.
[01:42:34]  I don't know if that's real.
[01:42:35]  I'm telling you, Trump is the kind of guy who would put his name on the side of his time machine.
[01:42:38]  Dude, type in the book about Barron.
[01:42:39]  I know, yeah.
[01:42:40]  So that, and then.
[01:42:42]  The Underground Adventures of Barron Trump.
[01:42:43]  And then you look at the connection of his uncle was the guy that went through Tesla's, you know, when Tesla died, it was actually his uncle that supposedly went through his safe.
[01:42:50]  So I know it's highly unlikely that he is a time traveler, but then also if you look at a thing called Mandela effects, where we remember things wrong, like Chick fil A or Shazam.
[01:42:59]  Well, you know what I'm saying, right?
[01:43:01]  Trump went back to the 80s on accident because they got the date wrong.
[01:43:05]  And while they were trying to get fuel, they had to get liquor to put back in the time machine.
[01:43:11]  He accidentally bumped a glass of coffee, which spilled on the manuscript.
[01:43:15]  The butterfly effect.
[01:43:16]  It spilled on the manuscript for the Berenstein Bears and it smudged the E into an A.
[01:43:20]  Well, we're on a different timeline.
[01:43:22]  And that's how it was.
[01:43:22]  And then he's like, oh no, we turned the Berenstein into Berenstein.
[01:43:25]  Nobody will notice.
[01:43:26]  And then all of a sudden everyone's like, my memory, what's going on?
[01:43:29]  And now it's spelled with an A instead of an E. Root of the Loom had a cornucopia, dude.
[01:43:33]  They said that the logo never had a cornucopia.
[01:43:35]  Do you know this Mandela effect?
[01:43:37]  Yeah, of course.
[01:43:38]  My favorite is the people who started making their own Fruit of the Loom shirts with the cornucopia and putting them in thrift stores.
[01:43:44]  They had the cornucopia.
[01:43:46]  Dude, they had the cornucopia.
[01:43:47]  I don't know what I'm saying.
[01:43:48]  But now, people, because of that, people have actually screen printed their own version of it.
[01:43:52]  That is part of how it happens.
[01:43:54]  There's recreated famous movie lines in other media, and so then they recreate it incorrectly, right?
[01:44:02]  Explain this.
[01:44:08]  And it's got a bunch of meat and veggies, and it's a flute making the cornucopia, which many people said was meant to be a play on Fruit of the Loom in 1973.
[01:44:20]  And so people are like, how did a guy satirize Fruit of the Loom with Fruit of the Loom if it never had a cornucopia?
[01:44:26]  I agree.
[01:44:27]  I think it's like, if you build it, he will come, but it's if you build it, he will come, not if you build it, they will come.
[01:44:34]  No, I think there was something with the cornucopia that was like that, but it wasn't Fruit of the Loom.

=== Tech Platforms Destroying Conservative Media (12:25) ===

[01:44:39]  No, no, listen, listen.
[01:44:40]  The CIA is trying to see if they can mass formation psychosis people.
[01:44:46]  They're trying to see who will believe it and who won't.
[01:44:48]  So everybody knows a thing is true for the Lumetacornucopia.
[01:44:52]  They then go on to the network database.
[01:44:55]  They tell the AI to delete all instances and rewrite everything they claim it never did.
[01:44:59]  And then they want to see who accepts the new reality and who doesn't.
[01:45:02]  They're finding who's deviant.
[01:45:04]  Well, when they took out, excuse me, when they found the guy that the pilot that crashed in Iran.
[01:45:12]  They even said that they ran a disinformation campaign on the citizens there so they wouldn't know where the guy was.
[01:45:17]  Like, they actually put out fake media hits as if, oh, he's in this area and he wasn't.
[01:45:22]  So, if they're running disinformation campaigns at the snap of their fingers in foreign countries, you don't think they're running one right now, though, Tim?
[01:45:29]  You don't think the CIA is probably cooking the books and trying to influence us to think a certain way?
[01:45:34]  In what, like the CIA is manipulating everybody?
[01:45:36]  Yeah, because they have.
[01:45:36]  Of course they are.
[01:45:37]  What do you say?
[01:45:37]  No, I'm just saying.
[01:45:38]  Yeah, they're dumping millions into social media to make everybody anti Trump because they're trying to win.
[01:45:43]  You think they're making them anti Trump?
[01:45:45]  That's what they're.
[01:45:46]  Yeah, I know that the CIA doesn't like Trump, but.
[01:45:48]  What Trump is doing right now, it appears, surface level, low probability, but decent probability.
[01:45:53]  Choking off the Strait of Hormuz is shutting down OPEC and shifting oil production and oil controls directly to the United States, which disrupts the liberal economic order.
[01:46:00]  It's cut China off.
[01:46:01]  That is the benefit of this war the fact that Europe and these Asian countries are going to have to be more reliant on America.
[01:46:05]  And what did it used to be?
[01:46:06]  It used to be that the U.S. had to plead with Saudi Arabia to control oil levels.
[01:46:11]  And what was Joshua Lesser was calling it supranationalism?
[01:46:16]  It's not so much one world government, but the structure of the world was the U.S. is the military, OPEC produces the energy, right?
[01:46:23]  There are certain hubs.
[01:46:24]  They were creating economic blocks.
[01:46:26]  Trump is.
[01:46:27]  Making everything US centric, so they're desperately trying to stop him.
[01:46:31]  USAID got shut down and they're trying to recenter in Virginia.
[01:46:33]  That's what they've been doing with all these laws and all these changes.
[01:46:37]  And now they're dumping money into big tech to shift the political opinions.
[01:46:42]  I think there's an elitist civil war happening where powerful elites are fighting each other in the, you know.
[01:46:48]  Now you're going to have to go to Saudi Arabia and ask them to make Rush Hour 4 because they're going to own almost all of Paramount.
[01:46:54]  Well, they do own a bunch of the old movies and stuff.
[01:46:57]  But listen.
[01:46:59]  Is Tucker being paid by Qatar?
[01:47:00]  I don't know if there's any evidence for that, but I do think that Tucker realizes that young people, Tim, whether you want to admit it or not, whether you think it's like this, you know, things that's just going to change after the midterms, young people are very disenfranchised with the support of Israel and just blindly supporting it.
[01:47:15]  So I think that the tide is kind of turning and there's probably going to be an attention economy dedicated to anti Israel content that is probably going to get bigger, I would argue.
[01:47:23]  My concern with the funding of Israel.
[01:47:25]  You're saying there's going to be more anti Israel content?
[01:47:27]  I think so.
[01:47:27]  Why wouldn't Israel dump billions into pro Israel content?
[01:47:30]  They have.
[01:47:30]  They have.
[01:47:30]  No, but all they have to do is go into Google Ads.
[01:47:32]  Mm hmm.
[01:47:33]  So, what Israel could do is.
[01:47:34]  It's a little harder than that because you can't.
[01:47:35]  Oh, it's not.
[01:47:36]  Organically, yes, they can do that inorganically.
[01:47:39]  Let me explain it to you.
[01:47:40]  I asked before.
[01:47:41]  Okay.
[01:47:41]  But it doesn't have the same organic.
[01:47:43]  Let me explain it to you.
[01:47:44]  If you go on Google Ads and you say, I want to advertise on content that is pro Israel.
[01:47:48]  Yes.
[01:47:49]  YouTube will increase the viewership to sell the inventory.
[01:47:52]  So, what will happen then is if you make a video that is anti Israel, you'll get 100K.
[01:47:57]  Pro Israel gets 200K as long as the money in the inventory exists.
[01:48:02]  YouTube can flux their inventory based on what.
[01:48:05]  What they promote to make more money.
[01:48:06]  Yeah.
[01:48:07]  So if Israel said, let's put 10 billion on Google ads and put it onto content that is favorable towards Israel, the algorithm would put it on the front page.
[01:48:15]  Yes.
[01:48:15]  People are going to see it.
[01:48:16]  Cannabis would disappear overnight.
[01:48:18]  That content, regardless of how much it's recommended to people, probably will not change your mind.
[01:48:22]  It doesn't matter.
[01:48:23]  It'll be auto plagued to normies.
[01:48:24]  I don't know if you just, through osmosis, you hear a clip in the background, all of a sudden you become pro Israel.
[01:48:29]  I don't know if that's a reality.
[01:48:31]  So there was this woman, she has a viral video where she said she used to be a big fan of Turning Point until she realized.
[01:48:37]  Until she learned that the United States was under the control of a foreign nation.
[01:48:41]  That person who made that video and went viral has no idea what the fuck she's talking about.
[01:48:45]  She never would have known any of this had it not been for the YouTube videos that she watched about Erica Kirk and Israel.
[01:48:52]  Like, if this was not true, do you think Coca Cola would be buying advertisements the way they do?
[01:48:57]  The literal background Coke ad in Times Square generates a positive effect on Coca Cola.
[01:49:03]  Yeah, that's how we know the Artemis mission was fake on the moon because we'd already have a big sign on it.
[01:49:07]  It would be the best advertising spot in the world.
[01:49:09]  They'd have a huge.
[01:49:11]  Coca Cola sign on it or Nike sign.
[01:49:13]  So that's how I think the Artemis mission was fake.
[01:49:15]  Yeah, I just, with the Erica Kirk stuff too, you know, you look at the Drewski sketch, and I know Erica addressed that.
[01:49:21]  That thing was so big.
[01:49:22]  That's probably, you know, the sketch I'm talking about.
[01:49:24]  Yeah.
[01:49:24]  I mean, just saying.
[01:49:25]  So, because maybe that's not an organic, is all I'm trying to say.
[01:49:28]  Because it's being promoted.
[01:49:31]  Yeah, it is.
[01:49:31]  That was definitely promoted.
[01:49:32]  Right.
[01:49:33]  So, who's promoting Erica Kirk content and why?
[01:49:35]  She's not a politician.
[01:49:36]  She doesn't affect policy.
[01:49:38]  She really doesn't matter at all.
[01:49:40]  She does matter.
[01:49:41]  Why?
[01:49:42]  Because she's one of the most influential people in America now, whether people want to admit that or not.
[01:49:45]  No, she's not.
[01:49:46]  Erica Kirk?
[01:49:47]  Yeah.
[01:49:48]  Yeah, she is.
[01:49:48]  How?
[01:49:49]  What does she do?
[01:49:49]  She runs the biggest young political action group in the world.
[01:49:54]  And who showed up to their event in Georgia?
[01:49:57]  Well, I mean, that was kind of a goofball situation.
[01:49:59]  But regardless, Turning Point is still the biggest.
[01:50:02]  Erica is not on the show promoting it.
[01:50:05]  Colvitt is.
[01:50:07]  She's a figurehead that does very little.
[01:50:09]  She's probably not even running.
[01:50:10]  She does a lot.
[01:50:11]  I don't believe it for a second.
[01:50:12]  You don't see.
[01:50:13]  I think one of the biggest things you know that she's done.
[01:50:16]  Name something you know that she's done.
[01:50:18]  She goes and speaks at every high school that wants to have her.
[01:50:22]  That wants to ever.
[01:50:23]  So, how many has she done?
[01:50:24]  A lot.
[01:50:24]  What is a lot?
[01:50:25]  Give me the number.
[01:50:25]  I don't know.
[01:50:26]  20?
[01:50:26]  I'm telling you, bro.
[01:50:28]  Once a week, it looks like.
[01:50:29]  I don't know.
[01:50:29]  This is the example I try to give to people.
[01:50:30]  I'm just saying she does work.
[01:50:32]  When the Covington kids, when the video went viral, the Covington kids on the Lincoln stairs, and everybody said this kid got in the Indian's face, the Native American's face, conservatives were condemning him.
[01:50:43]  Philip DeFranco condemned him.
[01:50:45]  And then I got sent this video and I said, What is it?
[01:50:48]  And they said, Look what the kid is doing.
[01:50:50]  I said, I don't know what he's doing.
[01:50:51]  And they're like, He's in the face of that Indian guy.
[01:50:52]  And I'm like, I just see two people standing in front of each other.
[01:50:55]  Turns out.
[01:50:57]  I did some digging with some help from the audience.
[01:50:59]  The Native American got in his face.
[01:51:01]  So my video was like, you are all wrong.
[01:51:05]  This guy got in his face.
[01:51:06]  Why are people attacking him?
[01:51:07]  And then the narrative flipped because people realized, oh crap, we were wrong.
[01:51:11]  All I do all day is watch videos, research, and fact check stories.
[01:51:15]  And for the life of me, there is no coherent argument that Erica Kirk is influential.
[01:51:20]  I don't mean that to be disrespectful to her.
[01:51:22]  She's obviously a well known person, but she is only well known externally, meaning.
[01:51:28]  You don't watch her go do things.
[01:51:30]  You hear about her from someone else.
[01:51:33]  She's pretty influential with Vance, with.
[01:51:35]  She's not passing laws.
[01:51:37]  She's not a CEO of a Fortune 500 that's functioning in the Chinese infrastructure.
[01:51:40]  Organizing door knocking campaigns for.
[01:51:43]  She is not doing these things.
[01:51:44]  She's a CEO of a company.
[01:51:45]  The point is, this narrative that she must be important comes from other people.
[01:51:54]  Apple, Tim Cook, is known because he goes on stage to sell a product.
[01:51:58]  Yeah.
[01:51:59]  Erica Kirk.
[01:52:00]  Has done interviews about Charlie, but her public appearances are relatively minimal for the organization she is involved in.
[01:52:06]  She'll get millions of views.
[01:52:09]  Her public perception, like her public presence, is minimal compared to comparable organizations.
[01:52:17]  I don't know.
[01:52:18]  Bro, what's a comparable organization?
[01:52:20]  What's the Fortune 500 company?
[01:52:22]  What's a, well, I mean, I don't know if because part of their company is a non profit, right?
[01:52:28]  So I don't know if they're really competing on a for profit company, but I know they have Turning Point Action, which is a non profit company, but 95% of Of Erica Kirk appearances are external, not her.
[01:52:41]  95% of the videos you will see about Erica Kirk are coming from externalities.
[01:52:45]  Somebody is comparing it, not from her.
[01:52:47]  It's not her.
[01:52:48]  Someone will take a screenshot of Erica Kirk and then make a video about it.
[01:52:51]  You will see.
[01:52:52]  Everybody that saw Charlie's assassination had a visceral response and they were affected by it.
[01:52:57]  So now in the legacy of Charlie.
[01:52:59]  Yeah, Candace said that Erica killed Charlie Kirk.
[01:53:03]  I don't know if she said it like that.
[01:53:04]  She did.
[01:53:04]  She literally did.
[01:53:05]  She said that.
[01:53:05]  They leaked a text message.
[01:53:07]  I'm not saying she did.
[01:53:07]  I'm just.
[01:53:08]  Let me stop you right there.
[01:53:09]  They leaked a text message.
[01:53:10]  But she said she shot the gun.
[01:53:11]  I don't think that.
[01:53:12]  A woman who was texting with Candace released a screenshot of the message where Candace said, My first question, why did you kill your husband?
[01:53:20]  Did she say that on the podcast or was that a leaked text?
[01:53:22]  It's a leaked text message.
[01:53:23]  Well, that's a little different than saying on her podcast.
[01:53:25]  I mean, you're asking that.
[01:53:26]  Well, on her podcast, she said, Jail, right to jail.
[01:53:31]  There is no way that I can believe she wasn't complicit in this.
[01:53:34]  Yeah, I don't think Erica Kirk had anything to do with Charlie's death.
[01:53:36]  I'm just saying, I think Candace has been a little more nuanced with what she says.
[01:53:40]  I think she says that she had prior knowledge that she didn't actually.
[01:53:43]  You're wrong.
[01:53:44]  Okay, maybe she did say Erica Kirk.
[01:53:45]  She said jail.
[01:53:46]  I don't watch Candace.
[01:53:47]  Indeed.
[01:53:48]  My point is this the only time a regular person hears about Erica Kirk is when someone else brings her up for an unrelated reason.
[01:53:56]  That's my point.
[01:53:57]  There is no instance where Erica Kirk does a press release.
[01:54:02]  We're doing a new campaign in front of 10,000 people.
[01:54:05]  She speaks at some events, but there's a ton of prominent people who speak at events no one talks about.
[01:54:11]  Right?
[01:54:13]  Yeah.
[01:54:13]  And Shapiro, Michael Knowles just spoke at an event.
[01:54:16]  Is anybody talking about that?
[01:54:18]  Nobody's talking about that.
[01:54:19]  Maybe not in the real world.
[01:54:20]  A lot of people aren't talking about, oh, Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh.
[01:54:23]  Erica Kirk is not passing laws.
[01:54:26]  She is not doing anything of substantive consequence right now.
[01:54:28]  I think they did pass some laws where they're putting Turning Point USA, the high school organization, in all high schools.
[01:54:33]  But regardless, I get it that you don't think she's as big of a political force as Charlie.
[01:54:37]  It's not that I believe it.
[01:54:38]  It's factually shitty.
[01:54:39]  And I think that's fair because Charlie was unlike anybody else.
[01:54:42]  The question then becomes why is she promoted in the algorithms on all of these platforms?
[01:54:47]  Well, one thing.
[01:54:48]  Look, I'll tell you this.
[01:54:50]  You want some conspiracy theories?
[01:54:51]  First and most obvious who killed Charlie Kirk?
[01:54:53]  If it wasn't Tyler Robinson, or maybe it was, who stands to gain the most?
[01:54:58]  Deep state, liberal economic order, Democrat, uniparty.
[01:55:01]  He was the one who got people to vote for Donald Trump.
[01:55:03]  He stood by him no matter what.
[01:55:05]  Why then are all these big tech platforms now destroying Turning Point going after Erica?
[01:55:09]  It's to character assassinate and kill his legacy and make sure Turning Point can't be effective.
[01:55:13]  That is the most likely conspiracy.
[01:55:16]  Yeah, it could be.
[01:55:17]  Tyler Robinson, from all accounts, was in a gay relationship.
[01:55:20]  Like he might have been quote unquote conservative when he was a little younger, but it looks like he was a left leaning motivated attack.
[01:55:26]  And there were people with foreknowledge, but we got to get Rumble rants and super chats in because I'm having too fun arguing with Alex over here.

[01:56:58]  Jailer says Alex, what was it like to be sexually assaulted by that trans person in Chicago?

=== IRS Tax Investigation Offer (04:11) ===

[01:57:05]  It was kind of fun, honestly, because it was a biological female to male, so it's not gay, so I'm okay with it.
[01:57:13]  Oh, good.
[01:57:14]  I don't have like a great fantasy.
[01:57:16]  Oh, man.
[01:57:16]  What's I'm just someone just mentioned, mentioned, uh, mentioned, uh, messaged me.
[01:57:22]  Tucker Carlson's promoting Animal Farm now, too.
[01:57:24]  Oh, man.
[01:57:26]  Tucker's a communist now, busted.
[01:57:28]  It's, it's, it's as simple as this if you accept money to promote that film, you're a grifter with no integrity.
[01:57:36]  But, real quick, you watched the whole movie.
[01:57:38]  It wasn't there.
[01:57:39]  It didn't have like a conservative slant at all.
[01:57:42]  Okay.
[01:57:42]  And I trust you.
[01:57:43]  I don't think you.
[01:57:43]  Let me tell you what the film's about.
[01:57:45]  Yeah.
[01:57:45]  The film starts.
[01:57:46]  It's about the book.
[01:57:47]  It's not about the book.
[01:57:48]  It's completely unrelated.
[01:57:49]  Old Major is not in the film.
[01:57:50]  Oh, really?
[01:57:51]  I don't know.
[01:57:51]  So, Old Major is an extremely important character in the book.
[01:57:54]  He's the old, I remember how good it used to be.
[01:57:57]  He rallies people and says it can be better.
[01:57:59]  Doesn't exist in the film.
[01:58:01]  The animals are happy and they like their farm.
[01:58:03]  They're going on vacation.
[01:58:04]  Turns out Farmer Jones couldn't pay his mortgage.
[01:58:07]  So, Elon Musk's mom purchased the animals in the farm.
[01:58:10]  Purchase the debt so that when the bank was coming in the actual movie, Elon Musk.
[01:58:14]  Oh, that's.
[01:58:15]  Well, no, it's Frieda Pilkington, but she drives a cyber truck and she looks like Mae Musk.
[01:58:18]  Yeah, that's what they're trying to insinuate.
[01:58:20]  Indeed.
[01:58:20]  Everybody agrees when you see this.
[01:58:22]  She's in the trailer.
[01:58:23]  So Farmer Jones can't pay his mortgage.
[01:58:25]  So Frieda Pilkington goes to the bank and acquires the property after they go to liquidate.
[01:58:29]  The animals, fearing death, chase off her employees.
[01:58:33]  But the bank says, no, no, no, someone's got to pay the mortgage.
[01:58:37]  So he's like, I'll be back in a week.
[01:58:39]  The animals team up and hold a big market to raise money together.
[01:58:43]  When they go to pay the banker, he says, This is too much.
[01:58:46]  I'm taking this, you keep the rest.
[01:58:48]  The pigs then get to keep the profit.
[01:58:50]  So, what do we do with it?
[01:58:51]  He says, Go spend it.
[01:58:53]  So, they go to the mall and they buy a bunch of stuff.
[01:58:55]  The animals get mad that they're doing all the work, but the pigs are taking all the profit.
[01:59:00]  So, Napoleon wants to buy a car, but doesn't have enough money.
[01:59:04]  Elon Musk's mom helps him get a credit card, but then he can't pay off his credit card debt.
[01:59:09]  So, he cuts a deal with her to sell the farm in a private equity acquisition.
[01:59:12]  So she can liquidate the animals and the farmland and use the farm properties and use the land to build the hydroelectric dam.
[01:59:19]  She can monetize turnkey.
[01:59:20]  The animals decide to revolt to keep their land to stop the corporation from taking it over.
[01:59:25]  So they plant explosives in a hydroelectric dam, blowing it up, killing her and all her employees.
[01:59:29]  Is that really what happens?
[01:59:30]  Yes.
[01:59:30]  The pig, the new character, Lucky, then kills Napoleon, swims out of the floodwaters, and says, We should not be forced to work.
[01:59:40]  We should just work for each other because we want to.
[01:59:42]  And then it pans up and says, The end.
[01:59:45]  Yeah, it looks like it's like anti big business, anti capitalism.
[01:59:48]  Andy Serkis explicitly stated he wanted to target themes of capitalism and overconsumption.
[01:59:54]  The funniest part about making an anti capitalist movie in Hollywood for that particular film is that they're not willing to.
[02:00:00]  Hollywood adjacent.
[02:00:01]  They're not willing to.
[02:00:02]  Well, no, this was made traditional Hollywood.
[02:00:05]  Oh, it was?
[02:00:05]  It was distributed by Angel Studios.
[02:00:07]  But the point is that Hollywood is one of those capitalist industries in the world.
[02:00:12]  And one of the reasons they'll make movies like this, even though they'll change the story completely, Is they're not willing to let Andy Serkis write a movie.
[02:00:19]  But you know more than anyone.
[02:00:20]  We got to try and read some more of these.
[02:00:22]  The capitalist thing is kind of not true.
[02:00:23]  Sorry to cut you off because they put a gay character in every movie and ruin it.
[02:00:26]  You know that.
[02:00:27]  You cover that up.
[02:00:28]  Here's the other issue, too.
[02:00:29]  There's not a single reference to Marxism or a single action of government in the whole film.
[02:00:35]  Not a single one.
[02:00:36]  The most egregious is that in the book, the pigs take the eggs from the chicken by force.
[02:00:41]  The chickens then complain, and Napoleon has the chickens executed by the dogs.
[02:00:46]  In the film, the chickens agree to sell their eggs in a big fundraiser, but then get mad because the pigs are taking the profit.
[02:00:52]  Literally, they're like, why are we doing the work, but they're spending the money on stuff at the mall?
[02:00:59]  It's like, bro.
[02:01:01]  Anyway, let's read some more of these.
[02:01:01]  We'll talk a little more in a second.
[02:01:04]  HS Disturbed says, What do you guys think?
[02:01:05]  Ballroom should be named after Charlie Kirk.
[02:01:08]  He could have been president, but never got the chance.
[02:01:09]  Agreed.
[02:01:10]  The Charlie Kirk Ballroom.
[02:01:14]  What was his middle name?
[02:01:15]  I don't know.

=== Animal Farm Movie Satire Critique (16:05) ===

[02:01:17]  I don't know either.
[02:01:18]  Demetrius.
[02:01:19]  Kevin.
[02:01:20]  I don't know.
[02:01:21]  But, Brett, I'm sorry to cut you off.
[02:01:22]  I don't know.
[02:01:23]  I think they should name it after Charlie Kirk.
[02:01:25]  James.
[02:01:27]  Charles.
[02:01:28]  J. Kirk.
[02:01:29]  They tried to name a highway after Charlie, and that got shut down.
[02:01:32]  I think it's, you know, People kind of use it as a political rallying point, too, like how you said, the momentum of the left.
[02:01:37]  They use it to have somebody to attack.
[02:01:39]  Pinochet says, Alex, as an informed plumber in Massachusetts, I take offense to your comment.
[02:01:44]  Well, I didn't say that you weren't uninformed just because you're a plumber, but I were kind of using.
[02:01:48]  Because I said plumber, and then you said you added uninformed.
[02:01:50]  Well, because I was trying to go with like the old Joe Plummer slant, where the guy's just kind of an everyday American, not worried about who's in power, just trying to pay his bills.
[02:01:59]  The Fallen says, Martian colonist, quote, Earth was promised to us 2,000 years ago.
[02:02:04]  It'd be really funny if Martians actually exist and they come to Earth and they were like, a long time ago, we were chased off of Earth by you.
[02:02:13]  And that voice I'm doing is, in fact, not Native American.
[02:02:15]  It's a reference to Futurama.
[02:02:17]  That was a good cartoon.
[02:02:18]  The Martians and Futurama talk like this and they have headdresses because they're literally Native Americans.
[02:02:23]  They're called the Native Martians.
[02:02:25]  There's something weird about the pyramids.
[02:02:26]  How were they able to build that without any power tools?
[02:02:29]  I agree.
[02:02:30]  You don't know?
[02:02:31]  Slaves?
[02:02:31]  You're going to say slavery?
[02:02:32]  No.
[02:02:33]  Alex.
[02:02:34]  What?
[02:02:35]  When Earth was being terraformed, the original colonists had a mechanical failure on their ship.
[02:02:41]  And so they could not contact the homeworld.
[02:02:43]  So they created three large beacons with gold tips to blast a signal up to Orion's belt where the homeworld is located, and then they were rescued.
[02:02:51]  However, some of the colonists were left behind because there was infighting that led to the destruction of their, caused the mechanical failure.
[02:02:58]  And so those people left behind, that's who we are.
[02:03:02]  I mean, it's crazier things have happened.
[02:03:04]  All right.
[02:03:05]  Yeah, but Trump says Admiral Byrd never claimed that it was his daughter.
[02:03:11]  Well, that proves it.
[02:03:11]  That proves it.
[02:03:12]  Admiral Byrd is one that saw different tropical climates in Antarctica.
[02:03:16]  Neglectful sausage says WTF is welfare soda.
[02:03:19]  A bunch of conservative personalities all simultaneously posted on X. Why are they trying to ban soda?
[02:03:26]  If I get government benefits, I should be allowed to buy whatever drink I want.
[02:03:30]  This is communist to tell me that I can't buy soda with welfare benefits.
[02:03:34]  Well, to be fair, there is diet soda, so not all sodas are unhealthy.
[02:03:38]  How about this?
[02:03:40]  If you get welfare, you're only allowed to buy rice and tuna fish.
[02:03:45]  You would lose weight.
[02:03:47]  You'd get protein and starch and nothing else.
[02:03:50]  You get one chicken breast.
[02:03:51]  No, no seasoning.
[02:03:53]  Cheese.
[02:03:53]  Why would we?
[02:03:53]  Why do you get seasoning, bro?
[02:03:54]  Come on.
[02:03:55]  I get a little seasoning.
[02:03:56]  No, no.
[02:03:57]  Luxury is not for people being given free stuff salt.
[02:04:00]  They get salt and black pepper.
[02:04:02]  My friend's been down and out, and he lost his apartment, so I'm going to give him the master bedroom.
[02:04:05]  I think so.
[02:04:06]  No, you can sleep on the basement floor, bro.
[02:04:08]  I don't know if seasoning's a master bedroom, but okay.
[02:04:10]  I still believe that they deserve seasoning.
[02:04:12]  But why people don't even use it?
[02:04:13]  It anyway, but they probably use the least amount of social services.
[02:04:15]  But Brown Bear says, I can't wait to see how Republicans use the Supreme Court ruling to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
[02:04:22]  Yes, but intentionally.
[02:04:23]  All right, everybody, we're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show.

[02:05:04]  That's true.
[02:05:05]  Man, Alex, thanks for coming out.
[02:05:06]  I really hope we talk about General Bird in the after show.
[02:05:10]  I like Admiral Bird.
[02:05:11]  How he flew over the whole hollow earth theory and got abducted into the earth by aliens.
[02:05:16]  I don't know if that's really true, but there's a lot of weird stuff.
[02:05:18]  Yeah, totally.
[02:05:19]  But anyway, you can follow me on X at Carter Banks and on Instagram at Carter Banks Official.

[02:05:28]  We'll see you all over at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL in about 30 seconds.
[02:05:31]  Thanks for hanging out.
[02:06:40]  We actually had a good show today.
[02:06:41]  It was pretty big.
[02:06:43]  Viewership numbers were up something like 30, 40%, maybe.
[02:06:46]  No, I mean, no, probably 20, like, let's say 30% is probably a fair number.
[02:06:51]  Total concurrence peaked between platforms probably at like 40 to 42,000 because something big politically happened.
[02:06:58]  Supreme Court issued a ruling.
[02:07:00]  It's a landmark case.
[02:07:01]  It's going to reshape the structure of government.
[02:07:03]  People tuned in to watch.
[02:07:05]  And so our viewership is slightly higher.
[02:07:07]  When Swalwell was accused of rape, we got over a million views on that episode.
[02:07:12]  It was.
[02:07:12]  It was massive.
[02:07:13]  I think we got like 1.2 million total.
[02:07:17]  So it was huge.
[02:07:18]  And that's what I'm saying.
[02:07:18]  I'm actually fairly optimistic, especially with all the conspiratar bullshit like the Israel posting.
[02:07:25]  So I was just saying, Alex, our reachup was very high for this episode because there's big politics.
[02:07:29]  So we had between 40,000 and 42,000 concurrent viewers.
[02:07:32]  When Swalwell was accused of rape, we had like 1.3 million for the total show.
[02:07:36]  Oh, wow.
[02:07:37]  And this is my point nothing politically is happening right now that no one cares about.
[02:07:41]  Swalwell being accused of rape is salacious, and the Supreme Court ruling is landmark.
[02:07:45]  People tune back in, our viewership jumps.
[02:07:48]  What's going to happen in November?
[02:07:49]  We get the midterms.
[02:07:51]  Then, immediately after we go into primary season, then a presidential cycle.
[02:07:54]  So, we have three years of hot, escalating political action, just real hot and raunchy.
[02:07:58]  Well, it is going to get really hot.
[02:08:00]  What I was going to say is, I'm actually excited for the cycle because the retards that have shifted away from politics and into Erica Kirk conspiracy, they're going to lose that audience.
[02:08:12]  When people start tuning back into politics, we're going to capture that audience.
[02:08:16]  From them, it's like your election night streams had over 100,000 live viewers.
[02:08:20]  I mean, way more than that, but yeah, we did we did we did like three million on election night, yeah, uh, extended stream.
[02:08:26]  But having 100,000 live viewers is strong as it gets.
[02:08:29]  I mean, that's literally one of the highest.
[02:08:31]  They consider 100k like the barrier, yeah, consistently breaking it is big.
[02:08:34]  Candace breaks it every day when they charged Trump that one time.
[02:08:36]  We had over 100k.
[02:08:37]  I'm pretty sure you think Candace used bots, you know.
[02:08:40]  I think they're probably going to use I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if he does.
[02:08:44]  I'm not trying to call him out, but here's the thing say they're using bots.
[02:08:50]  The way the easiest way to brain fry somebody is I can just promote, I can go on Fiverr and say, Give this tweet 10,000 retweets.
[02:09:00]  Yeah.
[02:09:01]  And like, I can literally turn an Israel poster into a chef.
[02:09:04]  No joke.
[02:09:06]  Just sit there and wait for Ian Carroll to post something about what he had for lunch and then pay two Indian guys to give him a thousand retweets.
[02:09:12]  Yeah.
[02:09:12]  He's going to go, Wow.
[02:09:14]  I'm going to make another one of these.
[02:09:15]  Then he's going to make another post where he's like, I decided to do a Ruben today.
[02:09:20]  Sauerkraut, it's really good.
[02:09:21]  Then I pay a couple of Indian guys to give it 2,000 retweets.
[02:09:25]  That's what Barstool Sports allegedly does.
[02:09:27]  If you look at their tweets, it'll have like 10,000 likes, but like 100 retweets.
[02:09:32]  You know, the numbers don't even match up, or it'll have 1,000 likes and four retweets.
[02:09:35]  I don't know about that.
[02:09:36]  I try to be cautious on that because there was this period where people were using bot or not trackers on people's accounts.
[02:09:44]  They'd take your account, load it into an AI that would be like, it's 20% real and 80% bots.
[02:09:50]  The only problem was they kept saying celebrities had bot followers.
[02:09:55]  When in reality, celebrities had suggested user list followers, meaning there are a lot of accounts of people who never post.
[02:10:02]  They just log on to Twitter and read the feed and then close it out.
[02:10:06]  And these programs were calling those bots because they were inactive users that were following somebody.
[02:10:12]  So for Barstool, if you have a guy who signs up to read sports threads but doesn't post himself, they're going to be like, how come there's so many likes?
[02:10:19]  Well, these people are not active Twitter users, they're just followers of Barstool Sports.
[02:10:23]  Additionally, if they embed tweets on the website and people just hit like, Yeah, I know there are ways where it can kind of look funny and it's not artificial.
[02:10:29]  But again, more importantly, using Fiverr is the easiest way to do it.
[02:10:34]  All you have to do is just, I mean, you could literally, bro, you just call two Indian guys and say, so don't want you to do it.
[02:10:40]  You asked her to turf it.
[02:10:41]  No, no, no.
[02:10:41]  I want you to follow Ian Carroll anytime he makes a post about food.
[02:10:47]  I want you guys to give him a thousand likes, 500 retweets every time.
[02:10:53]  And then you pay, bro, you know what you got to pay an Indian guy to do this?
[02:10:56]  $20?
[02:10:56]  $5, yeah.
[02:10:57]  No, no, no.
[02:10:57]  I'm saying you put him on a salary for $10K per year.
[02:11:00]  You say, I'll pay you $800 a month to do this.
[02:11:02]  They're going to be like, I'm rich.
[02:11:04]  And then Ian Carroll.
[02:11:05]  Is going to notice all of his engagements coming from food related content.
[02:11:09]  And in his brain, he's going to be like, people love food content.
[02:11:12]  And then you give it a month and he's going to be posting videos making food in the kitchen.
[02:11:16]  Not an exaggeration, it's a known technique.
[02:11:20]  But I do want to rag on Animal Farm because people have deleted their comments.
[02:11:28]  Wall Street Mav deleted their post promoting it.
[02:11:30]  See, they did this completely wrong.
[02:11:32]  Instead of paying right wing people to say it was great, they should have paid left wing people to say it was awful.
[02:11:37]  They would burn their guild members.
[02:11:41]  I guess leftists right now are defending it.
[02:11:44]  Yeah.
[02:11:44]  Saying that what the left is saying is that it is anti communist.
[02:11:49]  How dare you?
[02:11:50]  Oh, they're saying the opposite.
[02:11:51]  They have totally.
[02:11:52]  Leftists are like, this movie is anti communist.
[02:11:54]  What are you talking about?
[02:11:56]  Yep.
[02:11:57]  So the question, I guess, is well, I don't know.
[02:12:03]  I'm just hung up on the Tucker's promoting it now.
[02:12:06]  Tucker promotes it.
[02:12:08]  He's old.
[02:12:08]  He does everything.
[02:12:09]  He's like, yeah, but it's one thing to promote communism.
[02:12:12]  I really want money.
[02:12:13]  But to be fair, I call that gay for pay.
[02:12:16]  It is a little gay for pay, but at the same exact time, Angel Studios, would you agree, and maybe you don't, that a lot of their past projects did have the right messaging, and maybe they've earned enough goodwill with the people that they pay, the influencers that they pay, that even though this might not ideologically align with what they're posting, because they've been.
[02:12:35]  Oh, wait, Emily Saves America just promoted it.
[02:12:37]  Yeah.
[02:12:38]  You're just, I mean, she's a huge account, so she got paid to do it.
[02:12:42]  But is she really a shill?
[02:12:44]  Because Angel Studios overall is probably a net positive for society.
[02:12:49]  They're better than Warner Brothers.
[02:12:51]  I am not going to risk the safety of my family for a bunch of fucking scumbag con artists.
[02:12:56]  I like your dedication.
[02:12:57]  I'm not even trying to call you out.
[02:12:58]  I'm just saying I think they have earned goodwill with some of these people that are present.
[02:13:02]  No, Angel Studios should have come out and said, we fucked this one up instead of lying incessantly.
[02:13:08]  Andy Serkis has given multiple interviews where he's outright said it's anti capitalist.
[02:13:12]  And they wouldn't come on the show.
[02:13:14]  And they scheduled it and then bailed.
[02:13:17]  And then rescheduled and bailed.
[02:13:18]  Like a drip.
[02:13:18]  Because they know the moment they sit down in the chair and I say, here's a quote from Andy Serkis, he wanted to be about capitalism, they're going to go, oh.
[02:13:26]  Yeah, but I'm surprised they wouldn't want that publicity like you were joking about how you would pay the left to.
[02:13:30]  Listen, my point is this Emily Saves America is promoting the film now.
[02:13:34]  These people are all liars.
[02:13:37]  I am not about to get in a boat with a bunch of fucking scumbags who saw a paycheck and said, I'll promote communism for money.
[02:13:46]  Do you know how much money we got offered to promote Animal Farm?
[02:13:47]  Mm hmm.
[02:13:49]  20,000, I don't know.
[02:13:50]  Five figures, I'm not gonna get into hard numbers, but it was much, much more than that.
[02:13:55]  And I said, no, I am not gonna take money to promote a film that besmirches Animal Farm, wears our traditions like a skin suit, and promotes communism.
[02:14:06]  Not fucking happening.
[02:14:06]  Well, to be fair, though, you are able to be a little more picky and choosy because you are financially stable.
[02:14:12]  You're wrong.
[02:14:13]  I am where I am because I have never taken bullshit from anybody.
[02:14:18]  And that's part of it, I think that's true.
[02:14:19]  I don't wanna debate you on that.
[02:14:20]  This is what the left likes to say.
[02:14:22]  During Occupy Wall Street, when I was broke and sleeping in a tent, they said, You're the perfect example of why capitalism has failed.
[02:14:28]  You're smart, you're hardworking, why don't you have money?
[02:14:30]  And then two months later, when I was featured in Time magazine, they started coming out saying Tim Poole was born rich and had a silver spoon up his ass.
[02:14:38]  They just flip because they're fucking scumbags.
[02:14:41]  There is nothing that would ever get me to take money to promote communism.
[02:14:45]  I would rather sleep in the fucking woods.
[02:14:48]  I love that.
[02:14:49]  Yeah, well, we're in a space where I'm expected to take shit from Merrick Garland being accused of being a Russian, where I get shit on by these fucking Israel lunatics, where these people drive by my house shooting at me for these.
[02:15:02]  Fucking scumbags who took a paycheck to promote a communist film.
[02:15:08]  I'm just sitting here saying, Why would I stick my neck out for these pieces of shit?
[02:15:13]  Well, I mean, I'm just playing devil's advocate, but nobody's really asking you to stick your neck out for them, though, right?
[02:15:19]  Like Emily Saves America is not looking for Tim Poole.
[02:15:22]  Tucker Carlson and all the rest of them, they're on the blacklist.
[02:15:25]  And I don't mean like they can't come on and debate.
[02:15:27]  I'm saying they are in the doghouse.
[02:15:31]  These people are identical to Democrats in my eyes.
[02:15:35]  Yeah, I mean, it's the influencer economy.
[02:15:37]  I mean, influencers aren't that.
[02:15:39]  No, the problem is, it is influencer economy, and you're being sold on somebody believing what they're saying.
[02:15:44]  So, if the idea here is that every other viewpoint that they have is anti communist and they share this movie, and to be fair, it could be subjective and maybe they don't see it in that movie, and that's fine.
[02:15:54]  But people aren't willing to give them the benefit of the doubt when it looks like they're reading from a script.
[02:15:58]  So, the problem is, if your word is everything because people are following you because they believe that you're saying what you believe, then paid advertisement is always risky.
[02:16:08]  Yeah, I mean, that's why they put the laws in where they have to say on Twitter whether it's a paid ad.
[02:16:13]  But I think people now are hip enough to know that if anybody's promoting something and doing an ad for it, it doesn't really mean that the people give a shit about the product that they're promoting.
[02:16:22]  I mean, and that's what it should be.
[02:16:23]  It should be that way, but it isn't always.
[02:16:25]  I do got to walk back a little bit and just say this.
[02:16:28]  As I search the hashtag on X, I'm actually not angry.
[02:16:31]  I'm filled with hope because the response from everybody is they are ripping these people to shreds for promoting it.
[02:16:37]  Because I'm going to just stress this.
[02:16:40]  You know, I had someone ask me, they told me that Angel had offered them a promo and they didn't, you know, they were like, I trust you.
[02:16:47]  You said you watched it.
[02:16:48]  And I said, Look, ask for a screener and see the movie yourself because maybe I'm wrong, right?
[02:16:54]  I stand by what I said and what I believe.
[02:16:57]  But here's the thing everyone who saw the trailer when it first came out knew right away that it was not Animal Farm.
[02:17:05]  And then when I watched it, Old Major, not in the film, snowballs in the film for maybe 10 minutes.
[02:17:10]  For people who don't know what that means, Old Major was supposed to repre.
[02:17:13]  Oh, fuck.
[02:17:15]  Old Major represented Lenin and Marx.
[02:17:17]  Idealistic, not violent or revolutionary, just basically saying, like, the people can have it better.

=== Rejecting Disney Ad Payment (03:58) ===

[02:17:22]  And he tells all the animals, you shouldn't tolerate this.
[02:17:25]  Farmer Jones was Tsar Nicholas.
[02:17:27]  They rebel against him, take over, and then the pigs, Napoleon is a fucking evil psychopath.
[02:17:34]  In the old movie in the 50s, he's like, all nasty looking.
[02:17:39]  In Animal Farm, the new movie, he's comic relief.
[02:17:43]  Who is tricked by the corporatist into getting credit card debt?
[02:17:48]  And then he gets mad, like, how am I supposed to give him magic paper every month for this stupid card?
[02:17:53]  And then she goes, well, if you sell the farm to me, then you'll have more than enough magic paper forever to pay off, to give the magic paper for the card.
[02:18:04]  And then they list all the animals they're going to sell off.
[02:18:06]  And the animals in Act Three is the first time there's a revolution.
[02:18:11]  Revolution is supposed to happen in the first page.
[02:18:14]  Act three.
[02:18:15]  The other thing about it, the point I was making earlier, is Hollywood is a very capitalist industry.
[02:18:19]  They do screw up and they do, but I would argue that the fact that Disney has paid lip service now to actually wanting to make changes and walking back a lot of the stuff that they were doing means that they are for profit entities and that's what they want.
[02:18:31]  But the thing is, this movie doesn't get made or it doesn't get the amount of attention it's getting if it doesn't have the name Animal Farm.
[02:18:40]  If they truly, if they were truly anti capitalist, they would make it under some other name.
[02:18:44]  They'd call it Pig Pen and let the chips fall when they met.
[02:18:47]  That's the issue.
[02:18:48]  They said, Andy Serkis probably said, I want to make an anti capitalist movie.
[02:18:52]  And they said, eh, no one's going to buy it.
[02:18:54]  And he said, What if we get a piece of literature that we can put the name on for branding?
[02:18:59]  You know, he's been trying to make this since 2012?
[02:19:02]  Fucking wild.
[02:19:03]  It's the most cynical form of capitalism to sell the anti capitalist movie in a way that could only be done because they had to wear the skin suit of a much more important property.
[02:19:12]  Well, and the fact that it's for kids, right?
[02:19:16]  You know, that kind of adds a little.
[02:19:18]  If this was like a live action thing where it's more adult oriented, maybe, but it's like they do want to indoctrinate young people by them watching a cartoon that is anti capitalist.
[02:19:27]  So it's like very subversive.
[02:19:29]  I'll tell you what's going to happen.
[02:19:31]  If any of these individuals ever come on my show or a show like it, the first question I have for them is how much did you get paid to promote an anti capitalist film?
[02:19:39]  They're going to say $1,500 or something.
[02:19:40]  Probably.
[02:19:42]  And then I'm going to say have there been other instances where you've promoted communism, anti capitalist, or attacked conservative values for pay?
[02:19:51]  I don't know.
[02:19:52]  All they had to do was pay Ed Krasenstein some money to say it was a great movie or to say that it was a bad movie, and then all the conservatives loved it.
[02:19:58]  Yeah.
[02:19:59]  Well, the funny thing is, what I'm hearing now is that they're selling, they're buying the promo spots, but not giving screeners.
[02:20:05]  So I don't know how true this is because I've only heard a little bit in the background.
[02:20:08]  Typically, what they do with it for us is they sent us a script, they committed to a large sum of money, and then sent us a screener to watch the movie.
[02:20:15]  The script they sent to me, they wanted me to explicitly state I was wrong about my opinion on the film, and that after watching it, I realized it was actually anti communist and good.
[02:20:25]  Did they raise your offer after you had the drama?
[02:20:27]  No.
[02:20:28]  No, that was the first mistake.
[02:20:30]  I think that would be kind of bad.
[02:20:31]  Well, actually, the first thing I said to my wife was like, How about I go back to them and say, I'll do the ad read for $5 million?
[02:20:35]  Yeah.
[02:20:36]  Only if I'm allowed to say they paid me $5 million for the ad read.
[02:20:40]  No, so instead I said, I'm going to post about this, that I'm rejecting the money outright.
[02:20:44]  And my wife was like, why don't you just call them and tell them?
[02:20:46]  And I said, because I know they're going to other conservatives, other right personalities who are accepting this deal right now.
[02:20:51]  And I want to make sure that my statement about rejecting this is before anyone starts promoting it.
[02:20:56]  Principally because, one, I don't want it to be that a bunch of people promote it.
[02:21:02]  Then I come out and say, hey guys, don't promote it.
[02:21:04]  And they're like, well, I already did.
[02:21:06]  And you're sour grapes.
[02:21:07]  No, no, I rejected it the moment they sent me the script because I wanted to preempt anybody doing promos for it.
[02:21:13]  So let's grab callers and see what the callers have to say.
[02:21:17]  We're going to start with Sinosky.
[02:21:18]  He's a caller.

=== Biden DOJ Census Case Update (02:33) ===

[02:21:21]  Howdy, howdy.
[02:21:22]  What up, dude?
[02:21:22]  What up?
[02:21:24]  Oh, you know, lots of stuff.
[02:21:26]  So, Tim, I mean, we got to point out that the only successful thing communism has ever done is kill more communists.
[02:21:32]  Agreed.
[02:21:32]  So make sure you put that out there loud and proud.
[02:21:36]  Make sure everyone knows how great it is for that reason.
[02:21:40]  But more importantly, you know, Tim, I got to push back on you today.
[02:21:44]  Okay.
[02:21:45]  I got to push back on you today because, you know, you said something that kind of rankled the feathers a little bit.
[02:21:51]  What is it?
[02:21:51]  This is interesting.
[02:21:52]  I said be gay for pay only sometimes.
[02:21:54]  Let's see what.
[02:21:56]  No, no, no.
[02:21:57]  You're fine to be gay for pay.
[02:21:58]  That's fine.
[02:21:59]  You all got to make a living.
[02:22:00]  Yeah.
[02:22:03]  Oh, so what a day we've had with SCOTUS.
[02:22:05]  I mean, a lot of good things came out of there today.
[02:22:09]  Only one story really got the traction that it deserved, but there was so much.
[02:22:13]  And it's that one story that I got to push back on you, Tim.
[02:22:16]  Which earlier, like every outlet, you talked about the redistricting war and you said the wrong thing.
[02:22:24]  You said it was kicked off by Trump asking the red states to do a thing.
[02:22:29]  And that's partially true, but it's not.
[02:22:33]  So it started with Texas, which we all know.
[02:22:36]  And everyone is claiming that they did it at the behest of Trump.
[02:22:40]  When in reality, this stems from a 2022 DOJ case against.
[02:22:46]  Texas from the Biden administration, who said, you can't redistrict in the way that you want to.
[02:22:52]  Ironically, you know, going completely against what this ruling today said.
[02:22:57]  They were gerrymandering for that purpose.
[02:22:59]  And the Biden DOJ said, no, you can't do that.
[02:23:01]  You can't do that.
[02:23:03]  Last year, it ended up being ended in the DOJ.
[02:23:07]  The case was dismissed.
[02:23:08]  And Texas decided, okay, we did not get the opportunity to put out our map in 2022, like everyone else.
[02:23:15]  So now is the time that we have to do it.
[02:23:17]  And it was updated.
[02:23:18]  To account for approximately 3 million people moving to Texas.
[02:23:22]  Yeah, I did look that up and did not find that.
[02:23:27]  I mean, I've seen it reported countless times that the Biden DOJ case started in 2022.
[02:23:33]  I don't know the exact name of it, but that's when it kicked off.
[02:23:37]  It was by the Biden administration.
[02:23:43]  The DOJ sued Texas over its 2022 census, and the case was withdrawn by the Trump DOJ.
[02:23:50]  Yes, you are correct.
[02:23:51]  It wasn't 2022.
[02:23:52]  All right.
[02:23:53]  No, no, no.
[02:23:53]  You are correct.
[02:23:54]  It's just not listing 2022.

=== Poker Tournament Winning Streaks (10:10) ===

[02:23:55]  That was my era.
[02:23:56]  You are correct, in fact.
[02:23:58]  Well, for that, I apologize.
[02:24:00]  So I just want to point out I mean, while it all kicked off because of that, you know, being dismissed by the Trump administration, hey, happy days, you know, we can't put this disinformation out there.
[02:24:12]  We can't let, especially from creators like yourself who have a large voice, be allowing that narrative to be put there.
[02:24:20]  And that's my main pushback.
[02:24:22]  You know, I realize there's a distinction without it.
[02:24:25]  Difference, but it's important to say what the real discussion actually is.
[02:24:29]  I actually have the article.
[02:24:30]  It's from March of this year, actually.
[02:24:32]  It's from one month ago, well, a month and a half ago.
[02:24:37]  Indeed, when I first looked it up, I couldn't find anything.
[02:24:41]  I think what happened was someone had sent it to me and I looked for 2022 ruling and couldn't find anything.
[02:24:48]  The story is in 2021, the DOJ sued and it was on hold until 2025.
[02:24:54]  So I think my mistake was trying to look for 22 and 23, which It wasn't the functional years, as it were.
[02:25:04]  So I missed it.
[02:25:06]  Interesting.
[02:25:07]  It's important.
[02:25:08]  Like I said, I wanted to make sure you were aware because, again, misinformation is just as bad as disinformation and the facts need to be what they are.
[02:25:17]  Agreed.
[02:25:18]  Thank you for the correction, sir.
[02:25:19]  I appreciate it.
[02:25:19]  Thank you for the correction.
[02:25:22]  Anytime.
[02:25:23]  Yeah, don't be like that.
[02:25:24]  Don't be like that.
[02:25:26]  But, you know, I do got to do my shout out.
[02:25:30]  Good job on hiring Olivia.
[02:25:32]  She's doing great in the Discord.
[02:25:33]  And Brett, why no babies?
[02:25:35]  Come on, man.
[02:25:35]  Smug face.
[02:25:36]  Babies, babies.
[02:25:37]  Every time you ask, it gets delayed another month.
[02:25:42]  If you want her to have kids, you should stop asking because every time you guys ask, we're going to put it off another month.
[02:25:46]  I know we do need to have kids, but people always say that, like, have kids, have kids.
[02:25:49]  I know Tim having a baby was really incredibly good for Tim.
[02:25:52]  I think it matured him.
[02:25:54]  But I will say that the world that we live in is so just volatile right now.
[02:25:58]  I just can't think of it that way.
[02:26:00]  I know you got to not think about it like that.
[02:26:01]  You got to have more kids.
[02:26:02]  You got to have two.
[02:26:03]  I know, but it's just.
[02:26:03]  How old are you, Alex?
[02:26:05]  Old enough.
[02:26:05]  How old are you?
[02:26:06]  39.
[02:26:07]  39?
[02:26:08]  I turned 40, yeah.
[02:26:09]  Damn.
[02:26:09]  When are you turning 40?
[02:26:10]  I'm the same age as you.
[02:26:11]  Wow.
[02:26:12]  I thought you were a couple.
[02:26:13]  Years, I thought you were like 37.
[02:26:14]  No, I wish.
[02:26:15]  No, oh, bro, you gotta start knocking up some.
[02:26:17]  I know.
[02:26:17]  Well, I have a couple kids, I don't claim them, I don't pay child support.
[02:26:21]  Um, well, you're doing your part, you're just doing the bare minimum.
[02:26:23]  Yeah, I'm doing less than the bare minimum.
[02:26:25]  Legally, I owe money, I'm in debt, I've done uh, less than that.
[02:26:28]  So, I'll just put it this way I do want to have kids, I do need to be in a hurry, Tim, to have kids.
[02:26:33]  But there is kind of that side of me, an idiocracy, where at the beginning of the movie, where like the rich white family are like, Oh, we're not ready to have kids, we're not ready to have kids, and all of a sudden, the guy's sperm stops working because he's gotten so no, he dies.
[02:26:44]  Or he dies.
[02:26:44]  Yeah, he has a heart attack.
[02:26:45]  And there is something where it's like, yeah, I just have this kid.
[02:26:49]  And even if I can financially support him, the world is so crazy.
[02:26:52]  I'm just worried about them getting addicted to drugs.
[02:26:54]  The world is always crazy.
[02:26:55]  That's true.
[02:26:56]  In every circumstance, the world's crazy.
[02:26:57]  Like when I was a little kid, interest rates were like 20%.
[02:27:01]  Okay, well.
[02:27:02]  Yeah, it was like shit has always been.
[02:27:04]  Bro, there's a Cold War where they were like ducking covering because of nuclear bomb drops.
[02:27:08]  But I would argue the Cold War is probably safer than having these dating apps and these, you know, there's all these weird.
[02:27:14]  Cults where 304s, bro.
[02:27:16]  Well, they try to get young kids to commit suicide, you know.
[02:27:18]  Yeah, that's seven, six, four.
[02:27:19]  Cult, yeah, that crew where they'll get young people to.
[02:27:21]  And because I was on AOL, I typed age sex location when I was young, you know, when I was uh first getting on it.
[02:27:27]  But my point is, we should have kids, but the internet has created such a dark world, I'm worried about them becoming a you know victim to some sort of tragedy.
[02:27:36]  But I need to have kids, I need to knock somebody out.
[02:27:38]  Yeah, yeah, don't aren't you, aren't you, you know, you got a significant other you're ready to knock up?
[02:27:44]  Yeah, I got a couple, I'm gonna.
[02:27:46]  I'm in a polyamorous thing.
[02:27:48]  My wife's boyfriend's in jail right now.
[02:27:50]  Well, not your chance.
[02:27:51]  At Don Terrius?
[02:27:52]  Yeah, Don Terrius is in jail.
[02:27:54]  Alex, save yourself a couple big booty Latinas and get it done.
[02:27:57]  You're right.
[02:27:58]  You can do this.
[02:27:59]  You're exactly right.
[02:28:00]  Plus, if everything hits the fan, the big booty Latina will protect you.
[02:28:04]  And you can use her big booty as a flotation device to escape the waterway.
[02:28:09]  And I could go get Mexican citizenship, potentially.
[02:28:12]  And then we could be with Ethan Ralph, who's in Mexico right now.
[02:28:15]  I don't know.
[02:28:15]  Shout out to Ethan Ralph.
[02:28:16]  But my point is.
[02:28:18]  I think I do need to have kids.
[02:28:21]  I'm just not super motivated.
[02:28:22]  It's not my number one focus.
[02:28:24]  And I know that.
[02:28:24]  Never will be.
[02:28:25]  Yeah.
[02:28:26]  You got to decide to do it.
[02:28:28]  You're right.
[02:28:28]  Yep.
[02:28:29]  I have a hard time.
[02:28:30]  I want you to imagine this, Alex.
[02:28:33]  I want you to close your eyes.
[02:28:34]  Well, I'm imagining my kid always being the principal's wife.
[02:28:36]  I want you to close your eyes.
[02:28:38]  You're in a hospital bed.
[02:28:39]  Oh, great.
[02:28:40]  The TV is on.
[02:28:41]  It's CNN.
[02:28:42]  Oh, hello?
[02:28:43]  The doctor walks in and he says, Mr. Stein, I have your lab results.
[02:28:49]  It is terminal.
[02:28:50]  I'm gay.
[02:28:50]  Is there anyone you'd like me to call right now?
[02:28:53]  And you say, uh, no.
[02:28:55]  Okay, well, press the button.
[02:28:56]  Tim Poole.
[02:28:57]  I say, call my friend Tim.
[02:28:58]  He says, uh, I'll see if I can get Tim Poole on the phone.
[02:29:01]  He's gonna, but Tim doesn't have a phone, so he can't.
[02:29:04]  And then he comes back in and he says, Tim Poole said, Remember that time on the show when I told you to have kids?
[02:29:08]  I told you to close your eyes.
[02:29:10]  That's what you remember.
[02:29:12]  Alex, you're dead.
[02:29:13]  You're dying.
[02:29:14]  You didn't have any kids.
[02:29:15]  You loser.
[02:29:15]  Don't fucking call me.
[02:29:17]  He said, and I'm sorry, Alex.
[02:29:19]  I'm playing with my grandkids right now.
[02:29:21]  Having a blast.
[02:29:22]  We're on vacation with my grandkids.
[02:29:23]  You can hear clapping.
[02:29:24]  I'm at my grandkids' birthday.
[02:29:26]  Woo!
[02:29:28]  I feel so loved right now.
[02:29:31]  Have fun in hell, Alex.
[02:29:33]  Oh, Tim, the irony of telling Alex to picture anything when you've got your number one NPC on the call right now.
[02:29:43]  Oh, my God.
[02:29:44]  Wow.
[02:29:46]  What?
[02:29:46]  Well, thank you for being an NPC, I guess.
[02:29:48]  Yeah.
[02:29:50]  That joke went over our heads, but we get it.
[02:29:51]  You're calling in.
[02:29:52]  You want anything or shout anything out, brother?
[02:29:55]  Check me out at the Quiet Heart Pod Monday through Friday.
[02:29:58]  I'm moving to a new time next week, but you know, find me on Rumble.
[02:30:02]  Have a good night, guys.
[02:30:03]  Thanks for calling in, brother Keith.
[02:30:04]  Thank you.
[02:30:05]  Next up, we've got Asfera.
[02:30:09]  What's up?
[02:30:10]  What's up, man?
[02:30:13]  Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
[02:30:15]  There's no ladies here, but I'm not going to take.
[02:30:17]  Oh, sorry.
[02:30:18]  I'm sorry.
[02:30:18]  Ian belongs here.
[02:30:19]  My mistake.
[02:30:20]  Are you gay?
[02:30:21]  He might be a little.
[02:30:23]  Only for Elad.
[02:30:24]  Only for Elad.
[02:30:24]  I was always a lot.
[02:30:25]  Oh, my God.
[02:30:26]  You're an Elad D-rider?
[02:30:27]  Is this caller really an Elad D-rider?
[02:30:29]  Oh, bro.
[02:30:30]  They love Elad, bro.
[02:30:31]  Oh, my.
[02:30:32]  He's the one that got Randy in here.
[02:30:34]  Elad.
[02:30:35]  Fuck Elad.
[02:30:36]  Okay, go ahead.
[02:30:37]  Sorry.
[02:30:39]  Sam, Elad.
[02:30:40]  Narrowly missed it.
[02:30:42]  I'm actually an Ian fan and an anti-Eladist.
[02:30:44]  I love it.
[02:30:46]  I'm not too loud.
[02:30:47]  This guy had half a brain.
[02:30:48]  Okay.
[02:30:48]  Well, that's why Randy Fine came on.
[02:30:49]  A lot got him.
[02:30:50]  I know.
[02:30:50]  That's what I heard.
[02:30:52]  I had a lot on with you tonight.
[02:30:53]  And then.
[02:30:54]  Oh, thank God.
[02:30:55]  You should have been fighting, dude.
[02:30:57]  I know.
[02:30:57]  I've literally been fighting.
[02:30:58]  Last minute mind change.
[02:31:00]  Thank God.
[02:31:01]  I appreciate that, Corey.
[02:31:02]  Well, you two fighting is one thing, but if there's a third person fighting with all of you together, it just fucking works.
[02:31:07]  Tim and I are friends.
[02:31:07]  We fight off camera, too, like this.
[02:31:09]  You know, it's not personal.
[02:31:10]  I'm saying Tim and I argue all the time, but it's not personal.
[02:31:13]  You know what I love doing?
[02:31:14]  Whenever I hit a jackpot in a slot machine, I send a picture to Alex.
[02:31:17]  Oh, my God.
[02:31:17]  Dude, Tim did the worst thing ever.
[02:31:19]  We were playing at the casino.
[02:31:21]  I put in like 200 bucks in a machine.
[02:31:23]  I go to go pee.
[02:31:24]  I come out, and Tim has a check from the casino.
[02:31:27]  Oh, it's great.
[02:31:28]  So the story is it's so it's, you know, me to Mrs., Alex to Mrs., and he goes to this dumb machine and he puts in a couple hundred bucks and loses it all.
[02:31:35]  And then he's like, I want to go to the bathroom.
[02:31:37]  I put in 100 bucks.
[02:31:37]  I hit the button one time and hit a jackpot.
[02:31:40]  Then he comes back over.
[02:31:41]  I'm like, hey, look at me.
[02:31:42]  Like 3,200 bucks.
[02:31:44]  I was so pissed.
[02:31:45]  It was like, I won $5 bet.
[02:31:48]  So whenever we go out, it's funny because like we went to Maryland Live.
[02:31:51]  And then I was like, I just hit jackpots all the time.
[02:31:53]  Watch.
[02:31:54]  And Alex is like, no, you're not.
[02:31:55]  And there was this machine with a frog on it.
[02:31:57]  And my wife loves frogs.
[02:31:58]  And I was like, let's play the frog game.
[02:32:00]  And you're like, Tim, you're not going to hit it.
[02:32:01]  It's not going to happen.
[02:32:02]  I hit a jackpot.
[02:32:03]  He plays the machine right next to it and loses.
[02:32:06]  He gets off the machine.
[02:32:06]  I switch to it and he goes, let's go play something else.
[02:32:08]  You're not going to hit a second jackpot right there on the spot.
[02:32:10]  Oh, yeah.
[02:32:10]  Because you were waiting to get better on the first one.
[02:32:12]  You can always.
[02:32:13]  I was waiting to get better on the first one.
[02:32:15]  I had a second one.
[02:32:16]  I'm spending like $10 to spend.
[02:32:17]  I'm betting like 50 cents.
[02:32:18]  So it's more likely to hit because you're betting big.
[02:32:20]  We used to go to the casino all the time.
[02:32:22]  Like, you can usually tell where Tim is in the casino when you.
[02:32:25]  Follow the sound of winning.
[02:32:26]  Yeah, Tim does have good luck.
[02:32:29]  I don't know if it's the.
[02:32:30]  I've got a witness to Tim.
[02:32:31]  I actually have right here a.
[02:32:35]  Not this.
[02:32:36]  What is this?
[02:32:36]  Is this a.
[02:32:37]  They're all checks from different.
[02:32:39]  Yeah, all of them.
[02:32:39]  This is a.
[02:32:41]  What is this?
[02:32:43]  $2,351 jackpot from last Friday.
[02:32:47]  Well, that's good that they changed the threshold for $1,000, Tim.
[02:32:50]  I bet you like that.
[02:32:50]  It's really funny.
[02:32:51]  A lot of $1,500.
[02:32:53]  Friday, I walked into the casino and I went to the Huff and Puff with the pigs and you blow things down.
[02:32:58]  And they give me free play.
[02:32:59]  So it's like you get like bonus slots.
[02:33:01]  I have to use it, yeah.
[02:33:03]  I bet $3.75 and won $2,351.
[02:33:07]  Wow.
[02:33:07]  Yeah.
[02:33:08]  Have they ever given me a game?
[02:33:10]  I got an ultra mansions and got a bunch of palaces.
[02:33:12]  Oh, that's sick.
[02:33:13]  You got the ultra mansion.
[02:33:14]  Yeah.
[02:33:14]  You get palaces.
[02:33:16]  You need to make gambling content, dude, because that is blowing up and that's non political.
[02:33:21]  So it gets to a totally different audience.
[02:33:22]  I know you and I have talked about that, but.
[02:33:24]  I've been winning poker tournaments like crazy.
[02:33:27]  I probably win like six or seven per week at this point.
[02:33:29]  Well, you do the predictive market, and I know there's people that are coming out with shows.
[02:33:32]  Based on just the prediction markets, which I think is an interesting idea where like they'll just cover on whatever trending prediction market they're you know is popular, but I don't want to encourage gambling.
[02:33:42]  But at the same time, gambling is so fun.
[02:33:44]  Well, poker's not, I'm saying it's well, I'm just saying like a slot machine video, it's actually fun though to watch other people gamble because then you don't lose any money.
[02:33:50]  So we do have a caller side of it, he was trying to ask a question.
[02:33:54]  What's going on, brother?
[02:33:54]  Not all bad.
[02:33:56]  Oh, Tim, that was great.
[02:33:58]  Um, so I'm getting on to the gerrymandering thing with Massachusetts because I think you kind of missed out some part of it earlier.

=== Internet Tribalism and Radicalization (06:07) ===

[02:34:05]  When you were talking about Massachusetts, if you take a look at the map, if you could pull it up, I don't know if you could pull it from the Collins section or you just have to pull up the voting map versus the 2024 election map.
[02:34:16]  You can see how they fishtailed Brighton, which is the most Libbyist place on the planet, straight down into all of the red section.
[02:34:29]  Then they cut out the central part, which is Springfield, all the way up the Merrimack Valley and gerrymandered those into Worcester and stuff.
[02:34:38]  It's like, These entire areas are pushed in.
[02:34:42]  You get an area, the red area is cut in half.
[02:34:45]  It gets swallowed up by Boston and brought in.
[02:34:47]  So if you look at Area 4 right there, you'll see that it fishtails up, and then there's that little teeny oval section right next to Cambridge.
[02:34:57]  Yeah.
[02:34:58]  It's just, it's everything from the 4 over on that map is all deep red, and they split it.
[02:35:09]  50 50 and bring it up into Boston and down through Brockton just to cut people out.
[02:35:15]  They take District 1 and gerrymander it so that 90% of Springfield is cut off.
[02:35:20]  Then Worcester, the other Democrat stronghold, takes the other half of the Republicans.
[02:35:25]  And then when you get up into the Lowell area, you wipe out the last little bit of conservatives in Massachusetts and you take a 40% voting block and turn it into a zero block.
[02:35:38]  What can we do?
[02:35:42]  This is the future, bro.
[02:35:44]  That's it.
[02:35:46]  There's nothing you can do.
[02:35:48]  Look at this mistake right here.
[02:35:51]  All the states are now gearing up to do this.
[02:35:54]  The result is people who are right lean are going to leave these states and go to red states where they find sanctuary because it's going to get crazier.
[02:36:02]  When they ice out conservatives and get a supermajority, they're going to cut off kids' balls, they're going to seize your property.
[02:36:08]  It's going to go commie.
[02:36:09]  Republicans will leave.
[02:36:11]  Yeah, mass abortions.
[02:36:12]  Republicans are going to leave.
[02:36:14]  Then it's going to hyper polarize geographically, and everyone's going to shoot each other.
[02:36:19]  So, good luck.
[02:36:19]  Yeah.
[02:36:21]  I guess I'll say it for you.
[02:36:22]  Civil war is coming, but I don't want it.
[02:36:25]  I need my kids.
[02:36:27]  I know, Tim, and you've talked, obviously, you're one of the biggest proponents, the Civil War is almost inevitable.
[02:36:34]  But I would think that the only way that people actually start shooting each other, and I know that you could argue like January 6th was the start of it, but is if they turn off the Internet.
[02:36:43]  And do you think that'll happen?
[02:36:44]  No, the Internet's making it happen.
[02:36:45]  What do you mean?
[02:36:46]  Well, I'm saying, I think that if they really wanted people to start shooting each other, it's like how during the pandemic people were fighting over toilet paper.
[02:36:53]  They have to do something like that, right?
[02:36:55]  If you turn the internet off, no one talks about Erica Kirk ever again.
[02:37:01]  It would probably de radicalize people.
[02:37:04]  Yeah, I think it would radicalize people.
[02:37:05]  Now, if you stop the food subcalvings with your neighbors and people would start to become more like each other.
[02:37:10]  Well, wouldn't that create more of a civil war, though?
[02:37:13]  It would become more tribalistic if the internet was.
[02:37:16]  There would be no cohesive factionalization.
[02:37:18]  How they would cut off the internet, I don't think it would just be like.
[02:37:21]  On than off.
[02:37:21]  They would say that it was cyber attacked in certain areas, have service for X amount of time.
[02:37:25]  You need scale, cohesive factionalizing.
[02:37:29]  So the internet escalates it.
[02:37:31]  Turning off the internet would slow it down.
[02:37:33]  Yeah.
[02:37:33]  Yeah, I mean, there is a.
[02:37:34]  Talk of civil war in the United States happened first in 1820.
[02:37:38]  It took 40 years.
[02:37:39]  Yeah.
[02:37:40]  Right now, talk of civil war happened in 2018, and now eight years later, you've got hyper.
[02:37:45]  That's 2016, but that's two years.
[02:37:47]  No, people were shocked about Trump, but the first articles had to emerge about the Cold Civil War.
[02:37:52]  It might have been 17, but I think it was 2018.
[02:37:54]  Because I had been covering, like, the first article that came out, like, whoa, and started talking about it.
[02:37:58]  So now we're getting hyperpolarization in only eight years instead of 40.
[02:38:02]  Yeah, you're right.
[02:38:04]  The internet is like a tool for acceleration.
[02:38:07]  What is it?
[02:38:08]  Acceleration?
[02:38:09]  Accelerationism.
[02:38:12]  Indeed.
[02:38:12]  I think we should ban the internet.
[02:38:15]  Landline phones only by law.
[02:38:18]  The world was a better place when you had to call your friend on a landline.
[02:38:20]  It's true.
[02:38:21]  I know.
[02:38:23]  It was more mystery.
[02:38:24]  It was more adventure.
[02:38:25]  People text each other like they send mail to each other, like it's 1860.
[02:38:30]  You fucking text?
[02:38:31]  Are you kidding me?
[02:38:32]  It's insane.
[02:38:33]  It's such a degradation of communication.
[02:38:35]  It is.
[02:38:36]  Even the pagers, when the pagers people are starting to put messages on pagers, like the world is simpler.
[02:38:40]  When the page, I can't relate to people that are under the age of 42.
[02:38:44]  Like, I cannot fucking relate to these people that are like tech just blown, their minds are machine.
[02:38:49]  It's crazy.
[02:38:49]  Is it because they're all gay?
[02:38:50]  Because they fucking think that texting is normal, it's crazy.
[02:38:53]  Well, and young people, they don't like to have phone conversations, they really don't.
[02:38:57]  Yeah, they just won't answer the phone.
[02:38:58]  Yeah, and I'm not trying to be like, you know, in the room, all you young kids don't want to have phone calls, but it does that is like a real thing where young kids would rather.
[02:39:05]  Oh, you do.
[02:39:05]  I sat around memorizing.
[02:39:07]  Phone numbers when I was little.
[02:39:08]  Oh, yeah, dude.
[02:39:08]  I knew everybody.
[02:39:09]  80 phone numbers, and I would call my friends, talk, talk for a minute.
[02:39:12]  Yeah, I only know one phone number.
[02:39:13]  It's my mom's.
[02:39:15]  Dude.
[02:39:15]  Actually, no, I know my mom's and my wife's.
[02:39:17]  Mine have vastly decreased.
[02:39:19]  The fucking text, dude.
[02:39:20]  Texting is insane.
[02:39:22]  Texting, people think it's a real combo.
[02:39:24]  It's fucking crazy to me.
[02:39:26]  It's just devastating.
[02:39:27]  You know what?
[02:39:27]  You've been calling this out for 20 years, too.
[02:39:29]  Ian, you know you should do.
[02:39:30]  I'm oblivious to it.
[02:39:31]  You know what you should do?
[02:39:33]  You got to burn them.
[02:39:34]  Burn what?
[02:39:35]  All the texts?
[02:39:35]  Burn them all.
[02:39:36]  Well, actually, I'm about 8% away from it.
[02:39:38]  You can joke about that, but I love the idea of Fight Club where.
[02:39:41]  They wanted to fly planes into the building of the credit card companies to wipe everybody's debt.
[02:39:46]  Like, if you were.
[02:39:47]  They blew them up.
[02:39:47]  They bombed them.
[02:39:48]  Wanted to bomb the building.
[02:39:50]  They did bomb them.
[02:39:51]  They didn't want to.
[02:39:52]  They did.
[02:39:52]  At the end, it was great.
[02:39:53]  Well, I don't know the plot, but it's a great movie.
[02:39:55]  My point is 30 years ago.
[02:39:56]  I was like a villain.
[02:39:57]  I don't know if I would be.
[02:39:59]  I'm not even saying Elon Musk is 100% a villain.
[02:40:01]  I don't know if I'd want to buy Twitter, but I would like to do something illegal and crazy like blow up all the credit card companies and try to get rid of the debt.
[02:40:07]  Like, I'm saying there is something evil you could do that would benefit society.
[02:40:11]  And.
[02:40:11]  Well, I mean, I got to be honest.

=== Surveillance State Hypothetical Scenarios (15:13) ===

[02:40:12]  Like, The reason why I'm unimpressed with the deep state is because my presumption is either they're very, very smart and this is the intended condition or they're really bad at what they're doing and they're fucking it up.
[02:40:23]  The reason why I don't think the White House shooting was a false flag is because if I was going to do a false flag, I'd have done it way better.
[02:40:28]  Yeah.
[02:40:29]  And so I can't imagine the people who are professionals are worse than me at it.
[02:40:32]  You know what I mean?
[02:40:33]  That's fair.
[02:40:33]  You think he would have taken out somebody.
[02:40:35]  You know what I mean?
[02:40:36]  Like, you just think they would have.
[02:40:37]  Did you see the picture of him?
[02:40:38]  Like, this is the real problem.
[02:40:39]  There's like a picture of this dude taking like an aweshuck selfie where all.
[02:40:44]  Like, no dude who's going after the president should have a selfie that looks like a millennial saying, I just did a thing.
[02:40:52]  Well, but dude, now everyone becomes a hero.
[02:40:54]  Luigi Mangione is like the biggest dude ever.
[02:40:56]  And I think part of it is the fact that he's decently attractive, you know?
[02:41:00]  I think that's part of the reason he's such a big celebrity.
[02:41:02]  But at the same exact time, politically, they don't have a lot of Charlie Kirks on their side, right?
[02:41:07]  So that's why they're able to take a guy like Luigi Mangione and be like, he's a hero.
[02:41:10]  We do add some more collars.
[02:41:11]  You want to shout anything out, brother?
[02:41:13]  Yes, if it's okay, I'd like to shout out the Boonies, obviously.
[02:41:17]  They've made some great.
[02:41:18]  I finally got my Step on Snake number one gold posted on the wall.
[02:41:23]  That being said, the Discord and hey, Tim, Ian, anybody, I have two of the only three Chandra skateboards that were made in 2013 for the Grand Prix.
[02:41:36]  Really?
[02:41:37]  And I was wondering how I can get one to you guys.
[02:41:40]  I don't know.
[02:41:41]  Do we have a P.O. box?
[02:41:44]  We used to.
[02:41:46]  Is there somebody in the Discord who can handle lazing that?
[02:41:50]  Yeah, because this thing is freaking amazing.
[02:41:52]  I could send some photos or something over, but like I said, there were only three made for the 2013 Grand Prix circuit.
[02:41:57]  That's amazing.
[02:41:58]  Did the ticket wall where you can win prizes, and a friend of mine had so many tickets.
[02:42:03]  I gave him some expensive magic cards and had him pick them both up for me.
[02:42:07]  Wow, yeah, we'll put it on the big magic card shop that we got.
[02:42:10]  Olivia could probably handle that, right?
[02:42:12]  Olivia, if you're listening, which I think you are, you should.
[02:42:14]  Well, I'll bug her in a few.
[02:42:16]  I'll send her a message.
[02:42:17]  Ian, you helped me out, by the way.
[02:42:18]  My wife, she was just texting me about how she wants to get Taco Bell after dinner, and I didn't want to.
[02:42:24]  I said, This isn't even a real convo.
[02:42:26]  We're texting.
[02:42:26]  Yeah, you're like, how could you not call me?
[02:42:28]  Leave me a message.
[02:42:29]  I think that's the guy's fault.
[02:42:30]  He's got to call.
[02:42:31]  Leave a voicemail.
[02:42:32]  You got to call in Discord.
[02:42:33]  You don't even have to call to leave a voicemail anymore.
[02:42:35]  You just hit the button and hold it down while you talk.
[02:42:37]  True.
[02:42:37]  But I think.
[02:42:38]  I think.
[02:42:38]  Brett.
[02:42:39]  That's because Shane's going to be a man.
[02:42:41]  If there is one thing a man can do for a woman that proves he is a man and a provider, it's get Taco Bell.
[02:42:48]  It's akin to going out and hunting and then bringing.
[02:42:50]  Yeah.
[02:42:52]  God, I was surprised.
[02:42:52]  And I recommend that.
[02:42:53]  She made like meatloaf, which is at home ready to eat.
[02:42:57]  So I'm like, you got to get the Cantina chicken.
[02:43:00]  They're like, it's a real corn tortilla and they press it with cheese with chicken in it.
[02:43:04]  I just get.
[02:43:05]  The same thing every time.
[02:43:06]  Got frozen Doritos, Locos, Tacos, and very salty.
[02:43:10]  Yeah, you want to share anything out?
[02:43:11]  Before you kick me out, just a friendly reminder for all you Taco Bell lovers out there.
[02:43:16]  I'm one of them myself.
[02:43:17]  Get yourself some Chipotle away.
[02:43:19]  That being said, have a wonderful night.
[02:43:21]  Thanks for calling in, brother.
[02:43:23]  Next up, we've got Mo Farmer.
[02:43:27]  What is up?
[02:43:27]  What's up, Mo Farmer?
[02:43:28]  I think Alex is dropping a deuce or something.
[02:43:31]  How are you guys doing tonight?
[02:43:32]  Well, he's locked himself out, so I'm happy to go.
[02:43:35]  Did he?
[02:43:36]  I'll go.
[02:43:36]  Alex has stepped away, so he's not here at the moment, but what's happening, bro?
[02:43:40]  Well, I have to agree with you, Ian, on the texting thing.
[02:43:44]  But here's my real question for the panel.
[02:43:47]  And I want an answer from Brett first because I don't think he spoke enough tonight.
[02:43:52]  I do not find this right wing divide to be very organic.
[02:43:57]  Agreed.
[02:43:59]  I see there's a lot going on in the background.
[02:44:03]  And what do you think is behind these leftists propping up these against the Republicans?
[02:44:09]  I found a link with a guest on Mario Naufall.
[02:44:13]  From the Quincy Institute on Iran today, and Massey and Rokhana received rewards from the same Quincy Institute, which I understand is Soros funded.
[02:44:24]  Is there a link there?
[02:44:28]  I think the deep state is paying prominent conservatives to not be conservative anymore, and it's lucrative and there's easy money.
[02:44:36]  Well, like, what would you do?
[02:44:37]  Like, Alex, what would you do if, like, a wet works guy working for the machine came to you and said, You're going to turn on Trump or we're going to kill you.
[02:44:47]  I would turn on Trump.
[02:44:48]  Most people would.
[02:44:50]  Yeah, but you wouldn't.
[02:44:52]  I don't.
[02:44:53]  Well, turn on Trump, I don't know what that means.
[02:44:55]  Like, I had a guy come up to me.
[02:44:56]  I was at the casino and he was like, Hey, are you Tim Pool?
[02:44:59]  And then I said, Yeah.
[02:45:00]  And he goes, I got a question for you.
[02:45:01]  Like, what do you think about Tucker and Candace and them?
[02:45:03]  And I said, I think they're.
[02:45:05]  I said, I think Tucker's all right.
[02:45:06]  This was two weeks ago.
[02:45:08]  I was like, He's got opinions I don't like, but people are allowed to have opinions I don't like.
[02:45:11]  I think Candace is a total lie.
[02:45:12]  She's lying about everything.
[02:45:13]  And he's like, What would it take to get you to turn on Trump?
[02:45:15]  And I said, Turn on him.
[02:45:17]  I mean, I've never been like die hard, 100% form.
[02:45:19]  I call them a retard.
[02:45:20]  Yeah, I think you are pretty fair with Trump.
[02:45:22]  I called him retarded.
[02:45:23]  I tweeted that he was a retard.
[02:45:25]  I said, for a second there, I thought Trump really thought he was Jesus, but it turns out he was just retarded.
[02:45:29]  How do you do all these shit posting?
[02:45:31]  It's hard to tell what's real and fake with you on Twitter anymore.
[02:45:33]  Dude, when Trump deserves to be ragged on, he gets ragged on.
[02:45:39]  But that's always been the case.
[02:45:40]  And then he went, oh, okay.
[02:45:41]  And then he walked away.
[02:45:42]  And I was like, it's kind of weird.
[02:45:43]  I was like, well, you don't like him.
[02:45:44]  He's like, I hate him.
[02:45:46]  If someone came to me and said, turn on Trump or die, I'd be like, go fuck yourself.
[02:45:51]  Well, and I think there are fair criticisms of Trump and his administration, but at the same time, Trump is always going to be on the side of trying to save babies in the womb.
[02:45:58]  Trump is always going to be against immigration.
[02:46:01]  So even if he's not perfect and he's not as far right as people want, he's always going to be the lesser of two evils.
[02:46:06]  And I know that that's not always the best option, but I think that that is where we really need to kind of have this debate where now you see the right is totally divided and they're kind of anti Trump.
[02:46:16]  It's like, if you're anti Trump, does that mean you're pro Kamala?
[02:46:18]  Does that mean you're pro Gavin Newsom?
[02:46:19]  Wait, wait, I figured it out.
[02:46:21]  If somebody came to me, like a wet works guy, like a deep state guy, and he was like, Mr. Poole, you are going to be a prominent anti Trump voice.
[02:46:29]  You're going to defend Democrats.
[02:46:30]  You are going to change your opinions slowly over time, or we're going to kill you.
[02:46:35]  I'd say, no, that's not what's going to happen.
[02:46:36]  I'll tell you what's going to happen.
[02:46:38]  I will criticize Trump.
[02:46:40]  I will promote trans in the kids, and you're going to give me $75 million per year to do it.
[02:46:46]  Otherwise, I would do it.
[02:46:47]  I would have to.
[02:46:50]  I'm only saying that because in the event they do try to, Strong army, they now have to come with money instead of threats of violence.
[02:46:56]  Everybody has a price.
[02:46:57]  I don't mean trying to act like we don't, but if they were going to pay you 70 million bucks, you'd say fuck Trump.
[02:47:01]  I mean, if they're going to.
[02:47:03]  Well, I don't mind saying fuck Trump if Trump deserves to say fuck Trump.
[02:47:05]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[02:47:06]  The issue, however, though, is I think what we've seen with Animal Farm and with Israel, they'll just kill me on the spot.
[02:47:11]  They won't ask questions.
[02:47:13]  I'm not the kind of guy that they're going to be able to negotiate with.
[02:47:17]  Yeah.
[02:47:17]  I have shown to be obstinate and willing to reject money to go against my values.
[02:47:23]  There is no safe way a deep state person could come to me and make me a deal without exposing themselves or having me go on my show and say, These motherfuckers tried to pay me off.
[02:47:31]  Well, let's just.
[02:47:32]  So they would just heart attack gun me.
[02:47:34]  That's, yeah, with the ice.
[02:47:35]  And it's a needle that has a poison in it, and the needle's made of ice, and then it goes in your body and it melts.
[02:47:40]  It's real.
[02:47:40]  It's from the 70s.
[02:47:40]  It's been it forever.
[02:47:42]  When Randy Fine said, What about you if you had on Dan Bilzerian?
[02:47:45]  Because I think if you had it on a guy like Dan Bilzerian.
[02:47:47]  Wait, we said, What?
[02:47:48]  What did Randy Fine say about Dan Bilzerian?
[02:47:50]  It was conveyed to me, because I don't know exactly what he said, that his team said, the congressman wants.
[02:47:56]  To him to know that if he has Dan Bilzerian on the show, he won't be coming back.
[02:47:59]  This is after his appearance or before?
[02:48:01]  It's after.
[02:48:01]  And then my response was like, whoa.
[02:48:04]  I know.
[02:48:04]  Now all the friends trying to curate your guests.
[02:48:06]  It's kind of like, dude.
[02:48:07]  I thought he was going to come back.
[02:48:08]  Well, I thought you were fair with him.
[02:48:10]  I thought he wanted to come back.
[02:48:12]  Yeah, he said he wanted to come back.
[02:48:13]  Because I told him that I said, since we announced we're having you on, Dan Bilzerian wants to come on.
[02:48:17]  He goes, I wouldn't do it.
[02:48:19]  And I said, well, I think it'd be worse to not have him than to have him.
[02:48:22]  I was like, you can't do that.
[02:48:25]  Like, listen, if you are super pro Israel like Randy Fine and your attitude is, Tim, don't have Dan on.
[02:48:31]  It's bad.
[02:48:32]  He's an anti Semite.
[02:48:34]  My response is literally not having him on will do more damage to you than having him on.
[02:48:39]  And when I said, oh, hey, FCC regulations, we got to have Dan Blazarian on now, that fucking commenter that aggravated you and me didn't get that I was being sarcastic.
[02:48:49]  We're talking about people that are being sarcastic.
[02:48:50]  You never do that.
[02:48:51]  You don't understand sarcasm.
[02:48:52]  It wasn't even in text.
[02:48:53]  I said it with my words and he still didn't get that I was being sarcastic.
[02:48:55]  Dude, you got to be careful with what things you say, dude.
[02:48:58]  People, even people that are watching right now won't get sarcasm sometimes.
[02:49:02]  No.
[02:49:03]  Yeah, if uh, just doesn't convey it now, what I will say is this even words something.
[02:49:07]  Let me ask you this question.
[02:49:07]  That's true.
[02:49:08]  If Hillary Clinton personally came to your house, and then like in the dead of night in secret, you like wake up and she's standing in your living room, and there's like two guards, and then you like you hear the noise, you come out, and you're like in your boxers, and your wife beat her, and you're like, What's going on?
[02:49:22]  Oh my god, Hillary Clinton!
[02:49:23]  And they go, Alex, calm down.
[02:49:25]  So you need to sit down, we need to talk to you, and you're like, What the is going on?
[02:49:29]  She sits you down, she pulls out a laptop, and she shows you a whole bunch of information proving she is right the whole time about everything.
[02:49:37]  Real convincing, top secret stuff about Iran, showing Trump, like real evidence that Trump is working with Putin and trying to burn down the United States.
[02:49:46]  If she showed you all the proof and then said, we need you on our side, would you do it?
[02:49:50]  If she had all the evidence, yes.
[02:49:52]  I mean, I agree.
[02:49:53]  If they came in and they were like, this is proof that actually Trump is bad and here's what's really going on, I'd be like, oh, wow, I was wrong about all that.
[02:49:59]  Well, and people think, you know, I obviously am an open conspiracy theorist, but if there's new evidence that ever comes up, I'm always willing to change my position and change my opinion.
[02:50:07]  And I think that's the problem is people are just.
[02:50:08]  Too afraid to change their opinion.
[02:50:10]  It's actually just like, you know, you've always told me that if new information about your attraction to men ever came up, you'd switch sexualities.
[02:50:19]  It's actually probably the least time you'd actually take their evidence because they're like, what are they showing you a laptop that could be 110% fake with entirely fake documents?
[02:50:30]  No, because my hypothetical is that they prove it to you.
[02:50:33]  Okay.
[02:50:33]  Yeah.
[02:50:34]  Yeah.
[02:50:34]  Not that they're showing you a laptop.
[02:50:36]  It doesn't necessarily have to be a laptop, you know, in this hypothetical.
[02:50:38]  It's just they have the fucking gun.
[02:50:40]  Wait, wait.
[02:50:40]  Now, this one.
[02:50:42]  You wake up hearing a noise, and you come in your living room.
[02:50:44]  There's Hillary Clinton standing there in the dark with two Secret Service guys.
[02:50:47]  And she goes, Alex, you need to listen to me.
[02:50:50]  Donald Trump is wrong.
[02:50:50]  I'm going to show you all of the classified proof.
[02:50:53]  And then all of a sudden you hear a crash and turn around.
[02:50:55]  And in your kitchen, there's Trump.
[02:50:56]  And he goes, Don't listen to her.
[02:50:58]  She's lying.
[02:50:59]  Alex, listen to me.
[02:51:00]  I would listen to Trump.
[02:51:01]  I would listen to Trump in that situation.
[02:51:02]  Oh, you say, First, when to give me a bottle of hot sauce, I will take their position.
[02:51:07]  What if Hillary then pulled a bottle of hot sauce out of her purse, going, It was true the whole time, Alex?
[02:51:11]  She's so relatable.
[02:51:12]  She has to bring her hot sauce.
[02:51:13]  I love that picture of her when she's in the apartment.
[02:51:16]  Oh, she looks like I've never seen her before.
[02:51:18]  She's out of water.
[02:51:19]  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[02:51:21]  From that New York kitchen.
[02:51:22]  We do got to get one more caller.
[02:51:24]  Caller, you want anything or shout anything out?
[02:51:27]  Yeah, I just want to thank you for taking my call and shout out AP for Liberty and Gary Meldon with Paramount Tactical.
[02:51:35]  They're doing the good fight.
[02:51:37]  And also a shout out to Andrew Wilson's debate with Owen Schroyer.
[02:51:42]  I thought that was very good.
[02:51:43]  Who do you think won?
[02:51:44]  Thank you and happy.
[02:51:45]  Who do you think won that debate?
[02:51:47]  Owen Schroyer.
[02:51:48]  I thought Owen did good.
[02:51:49]  I.
[02:51:50]  I thought Wilson won the debate.
[02:51:53]  Andrew's a good debater.
[02:51:54]  I actually was kidding.
[02:51:55]  I actually only saw clips, so I don't know.
[02:51:59]  Yeah, I didn't watch it.
[02:51:59]  Thank you, guys.
[02:52:01]  Thanks, man.
[02:52:01]  Thanks for calling in, brother.
[02:52:05]  All right.
[02:52:06]  Next up, last but not least, we have Real Zacchaeus.
[02:52:11]  Dude, thank you for having me.
[02:52:13]  You got my name correct and everything.
[02:52:15]  I was just thinking of Hillary Clinton.
[02:52:18]  It's me chilling in Cedar Rapids.
[02:52:22]  Yeah.
[02:52:22]  Classic.
[02:52:24]  So, with the Section 702 surveillance up for renewal, do you think the government can realistically protect national security without violating Americans' privacy?
[02:52:33]  You mean FISA?
[02:52:34]  Or is mass.
[02:52:36]  Sorry, go ahead.
[02:52:37]  You mean FISA?
[02:52:39]  Yeah.
[02:52:39]  They did renew it for what, three years?
[02:52:43]  Yeah.
[02:52:44]  Yeah, three years.
[02:52:44]  So, the question on that would be is mass surveillance just the new normal that we.
[02:52:51]  I don't know.
[02:52:51]  I remember.
[02:52:53]  I don't think the mass surveillance is the issue.
[02:52:54]  I think they're collecting data for AI.
[02:52:59]  Yeah, that does make sense, too.
[02:53:00]  I just remember at a time, today is my 33rd birthday, and I remember a time when we had a.
[02:53:08]  Thanks, guys.
[02:53:08]  Appreciate it.
[02:53:09]  Seriously.
[02:53:10]  The boys.
[02:53:12]  I remember a time when there was a camera installed above a light near our house, and we were like, where does that go to?
[02:53:20]  And it was way more suspect.
[02:53:23]  And it just feels so normalized now.
[02:53:25]  And, you know, with we have cameras that are staring at me right now, know exactly what I look like.
[02:53:31]  And there doesn't seem like much of an avoidance.
[02:53:33]  Here's a secret if we do a show in this studio and the stream goes down and the computer goes down, the whole show is still recorded on the other camera.
[02:53:44]  We have backups upon backups.
[02:53:46]  There's a camera in this room recording video and audio 24 7.
[02:53:50]  The audio would be.
[02:53:51]  Yes, I remember.
[02:53:52]  Yeah.
[02:53:52]  Yeah, I mean, so massively.
[02:53:54]  I remember when you guys had them on when there was like the cops running through your.
[02:54:00]  No, that was actually just one of the normal cameras at the old studio.
[02:54:03]  Now we have actual.
[02:54:04]  We have security cameras all over the place.
[02:54:06]  One of the reasons we can't publish the footage of the shooting from December is because it shows where the cameras are and how to avoid them.
[02:54:13]  So we don't want to reveal that.
[02:54:13]  But we played the audio when it happened.
[02:54:15]  But we thought we were actually going to move to a new location.
[02:54:18]  Instead, we took some security changes.
[02:54:21]  We have a guy with an AK 47.
[02:54:23]  That's new.
[02:54:24]  It's not new.
[02:54:25]  Well, he didn't usually walk around with a gun out like that.
[02:54:27]  Maybe he puts a gun out.
[02:54:28]  I'm just saying, you have a guy.
[02:54:29]  It looks like he's going in Kandahar.
[02:54:31]  Wait, more than one.
[02:54:34]  There's a guy.
[02:54:35]  I don't want to talk too much stuff, but there's a guy with an AK 47 right at the freaking gate.
[02:54:38]  When you walk in, you said, Yeah, we got robot dogs.
[02:54:42]  There's about 17 of them that patrol the property.
[02:54:44]  I'm not kidding about the guy with the AK.
[02:54:46]  That's real.
[02:54:47]  We got about 17 robot dogs.
[02:54:48]  They were five grand each, and they're mounted with sirens.
[02:54:52]  They don't have weapons.
[02:54:54]  I'm kidding.
[02:54:54]  Chicken City is a polite society.
[02:54:56]  We actually just have a bunch of chickens that were trained to murder.
[02:55:00]  You will die.
[02:55:01]  You said, You think that the point of the surveillance is to train AI?
[02:55:07]  Yeah, they don't need to steal everyone's private data.
[02:55:11]  For surveillance, it makes no sense.
[02:55:13]  In the show Person of Interest, which is about the creation of an AI, it literally the creator of the program creates social media to get information to gather on citizens.
[02:55:23]  That's probably what it is.
[02:55:24]  Yeah.
[02:55:24]  They've been working on AI since the 70s.

=== Elon Musk Robot Dog Security (04:57) ===

[02:55:26]  And that is what social media is because if it's free, that means we're the product, right?
[02:55:30]  Did you guys see the Elon Altman stuff?
[02:55:33]  Yeah, we did.
[02:55:34]  Where the dude literally is saying, we're going to fleece Elon and take all his money.
[02:55:38]  Yeah.
[02:55:38]  Well, fucking wild.
[02:55:40]  Well, Sam Altman said it was supposed to be a nonprofit organization, and then.
[02:55:44]  Right.
[02:55:44]  There's an email where the guy's like, We'll get Elon to bring his money in, then kick him out and go for profit.
[02:55:50]  But we won't be able to go for profit if Elon's still involved, so we got to kick him out.
[02:55:54]  And that was revealed in court, something to that effect.
[02:55:57]  Yeah, it's like a slam dunk.
[02:55:59]  That's crazy.
[02:56:00]  Yeah, it's fucking wild.
[02:56:01]  I thought it was just a lot of nothing, but now I really want to know.
[02:56:03]  No, they were like, we're going to steal his money, basically.
[02:56:06]  But you did see where Elon, they're kind of accusing him, and it's not necessarily a scam, but whatever the parent company of Grok is, that is actually the company that owns Twitter.
[02:56:14]  So it's not that Twitter owns Grok.
[02:56:16]  XAI.
[02:56:16]  Yeah, XAI just owns Twitter.
[02:56:19]  Yeah, Elon bought Twitter.
[02:56:20]  Because he wanted the data stream for artificial intelligence.
[02:56:23]  That was always the point.
[02:56:24]  I'm super excited for XPay, though, because.
[02:56:28]  My last payout was down.
[02:56:30]  My last payout was 30% up, $6,500.
[02:56:34]  Usually I do 4K.
[02:56:35]  Yeah.
[02:56:36]  So it's up.
[02:56:37]  I figured that if I just post the word Israel, I'd make like 100 bucks.
[02:56:40]  Yeah.
[02:56:40]  Yeah, it's wild.
[02:56:41]  These retards, like, dude, imagine a bunch of just like monkeys in a pen.
[02:56:47]  Well, there's an attention economy on both sides.
[02:56:49]  And it looks like I'm just.
[02:56:52]  If you want to generate engagement, it's funny because I posted something like the Israel cast thing.
[02:56:57]  And then this anti Israel guy's like, You're not funny.
[02:56:59]  You just do this for money and engagement.
[02:57:00]  And people are like, Bro, you're giving it to him.
[02:57:02]  What the fuck?
[02:57:04]  When you did the A B test, it was like Israel, Israel, Israel.
[02:57:06]  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[02:57:07]  I had a video and then you could do A B test titles.
[02:57:10]  And so I put like thing happens.
[02:57:12]  Then I put shorter, all caps, thing happens.
[02:57:14]  And then I was like, I don't even have one.
[02:57:15]  I was like, Israel, Israel, Israel.
[02:57:17]  And that won by like 10%.
[02:57:18]  No, it did that much better of 10%.
[02:57:20]  Israel, Israel, Israel.
[02:57:23]  Yeah.
[02:57:24]  People are fucking dumb, dude.
[02:57:26]  My God.
[02:57:27]  I don't know.
[02:57:28]  Anyway, man.
[02:57:29]  Yeah.
[02:57:29]  What else is there?
[02:57:30]  You want to add anything or what's going on?
[02:57:33]  No, yeah.
[02:57:33]  And I love the double entendres you'll throw at them.
[02:57:36]  Like, one of my all time favorites is Trump, We Don't Deserve You.
[02:57:41]  Yes, yeah.
[02:57:41]  And have the bullshit.
[02:57:42]  That's Michael Malice's, We Don't Deserve Trump.
[02:57:47]  It plays both sides.
[02:57:49]  Yeah.
[02:57:49]  Yeah, Malice is a genius.
[02:57:52]  He's a good guy.
[02:57:53]  Yep.
[02:57:54]  We don't deserve Trump.
[02:57:57]  I did want to shout you out, man.
[02:58:00]  Like, just on a real level, like man to man, man.
[02:58:03]  I. In 2020, I found you.
[02:58:06]  I think it was 2019.
[02:58:07]  I found you.
[02:58:08]  You were off doing your videos.
[02:58:10]  And I was living in Portland, Oregon.
[02:58:13]  Oh, wow.
[02:58:14]  About a year goes by, and they really started to ramp up the George Floyd protests.
[02:58:20]  And having you scream in my face every single day, what kind of fucking retard would live in this city?
[02:58:29]  There's fires all over the place.
[02:58:31]  I was, I was, I never graduated from high school, but just through tenacity, I ended up as an executive at a pretty large company.
[02:58:40]  And the final day, my wife was stopped for her white fragility to reject it.
[02:58:45]  And she didn't even know what that meant.
[02:58:48]  And I sold everything.
[02:58:50]  Wow.
[02:58:52]  I didn't have a whole lot of money.
[02:58:54]  I didn't own a house.
[02:58:55]  This is, you know, I'm mid 20s, but I sold everything and I went and I started my own business.
[02:59:02]  I started with a rake and a bucket and I had a couple hundred dollars to throw at marketing.
[02:59:07]  And I, Have built that to a six figure revenue.
[02:59:14]  Whoa.
[02:59:16]  I've got multiple businesses.
[02:59:19]  And in January, I'm like, you know, I get emotional about it, man.
[02:59:24]  Like in January, we purchased the farm.
[02:59:27]  We've got 10 acres.
[02:59:29]  I've got 100 chickens outside.
[02:59:31]  100 chickens.
[02:59:33]  Yeah, I built the coop.
[02:59:34]  Those guys are so dumb.
[02:59:36]  I found a gardener snake and I tossed the gardener snake in there.
[02:59:38]  They're all chasing for it.
[02:59:39]  It's hilarious.
[02:59:40]  Those guys are so dumb, man.
[02:59:42]  But they're funny.
[02:59:43]  But yeah, man, I just wanted to say thank you because that's amazing.
[02:59:48]  Yeah, I think that there's all that.
[02:59:51]  What I've found is that any excuse will do if you don't think that you can get out of where you're at.
[02:59:56]  I moved to a red area.
[02:59:57]  I'm still in Oregon, but I'm in the country.
[03:00:02]  I know all my neighbors.
[03:00:05]  And if the worst push comes to shove, I've got a very valuable asset that can be sold off to move to a red state.
[03:00:11]  But yeah, man, that's kind of what I wanted to shout out to you, Bill.
[03:00:17]  I wish more people would get off their butts and realize they can do it.
[03:00:21]  You just got to do the work, you know?

=== Closing Thoughts on Personal Growth (00:59) ===

[03:00:23]  Yep.
[03:00:24]  Do the work.
[03:00:26]  My wife hasn't worked a job for the last four years because of it.
[03:00:29]  And so it's like.
[03:00:30]  Nice.
[03:00:31]  Yeah.
[03:00:31]  It's been really cool.
[03:00:32]  So I appreciate it, dude.
[03:00:33]  Oh, well, good job, dude.
[03:00:35]  Congratulations.
[03:00:35]  Yeah, congratulations.
[03:00:36]  That's awesome.
[03:00:37]  Well, thanks for calling in, man.
[03:00:38]  I appreciate it.
[03:00:39]  Absolutely.
[03:00:40]  Talk to you guys soon.
[03:00:41]  Have a good one, brother.
[03:00:43]  Right on.
[03:00:44]  Well, that about does it for tonight's.
[03:00:45]  Who do we have on tomorrow?
[03:00:46]  Tomorrow we've got Theo Wold.
[03:00:51]  There we go.
[03:00:52]  Theo Vaughn?
[03:00:53]  No.
[03:00:54]  It's always great to have you, Alex.
[03:00:56]  Oh, I love coming here, Tim.
[03:00:57]  One of my good friends.
[03:00:59]  I'd do anything for you.
[03:01:00]  And it's always a pleasure when you give me the opportunity.
[03:01:02]  Anything, huh?
[03:01:03]  I mean, this has been a very gay centric episode.
[03:01:06]  I try to straighten it up.
[03:01:09]  Not anything, but almost anything.
[03:01:11]  I was going to say kiss Ian, but, you know, that's still gay.
[03:01:15]  I know, just not with me.
[03:01:16]  I'm married.
[03:01:17]  All right, everybody.
[03:01:19]  Thanks for hanging out.
[03:01:20]  It's been a blast.
[03:01:21]  We're back tomorrow, of course, and we'll see you all then.
