		Now, let's jump into the first story.
		There are two big stories right now.
		On the left, the big story they're prioritizing is about a teenager, they say, went to the wrong house and then was shot by a racially motivated old white man.
		I gotta be honest, in any context, even the leftist's version of this story, I'm not sure why the story at all warrants national attention.
		I feel bad for the kid who got shot.
		Seems like a horrible story.
		Not entirely sure what happened.
		I certainly don't trust the media.
		But accidental shootings happen a lot.
		Why is this story making national headlines?
		Serious question.
		It doesn't seem to make sense.
		You know, I remember being on the ground in Chicago and there was interracial violence.
		There's a lot of it in Chicago.
		And there were stories about people shooting each other all the time.
		Go night crawling in Chicago on any day and you will have people being shot and killed for BS reasons.
		So why?
		Did this story warrant national headlines?
unidentified		No, no, no, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I mean it seriously.
		People are going to say, Tim, gang violence doesn't count.
		People don't... I'm not talking about that.
		I'm talking about in Chicago, there are stories like this all the time.
		Dude walks into a backyard, gets shot.
		White guy defending his home.
		These stories happen often.
		All over the country.
		Why did this one get national attention?
		It could be because of this other story that's going viral.
		It could be because of a few other stories that are going viral.
		And it could be just because the algorithm seeks to weaponize whatever they can.
		And you never know exactly why one story will become more prominent than another.
		Sometimes the algorithm just picks it up and people decide to run with it.
		But the image you're seeing on the screen is a viral video that many people have described as a white woman being attacked by a group of black teenagers.
		And that's what happened.
		It's objectively true.
		But there are some details that need to be explained.
		She wasn't mercilessly beaten by them.
		She was attacked and pulled away from the group, it would seem.
		And while she was attacked, the merciless beating happened on a different person.
		Apparently this woman was trying to stop the violence.
		So I can't speak to exactly how it all went down or why.
		But I think that context is very important.
		As many stories come out saying a woman was attacked in Chicago and things like that.
		Because here's the challenge.
		It's true.
		She was.
		Someone put her in a chokehold and dragged her off.
		And she may have been struck a few times.
		I'm not entirely sure.
		It certainly does look like she gets struck.
		But many people believe she's pinned down and beaten by a mob.
		I'm not so sure that's what happened.
		It may be what happened.
		But there is some context here that I think is important.
		Now, as this video goes viral and you have people like Matt Walsh highlighting it, I
		think I have the tweet from Matt Walsh, he says, White woman viciously attacked by a group of black teens.
		You absolutely never see videos like this with the races reversed.
		Never.
		Doesn't exist.
		At some point, we need to discuss why this kind of violence literally always goes one way.
		Well, I'll break it down for you, Matt.
		It almost always goes one way in that I think Ben Shapiro brought up the statistics, I think from Chicago, and it was 84% black on white violence.
		Call it whatever you want.
		I don't know.
		I'm not prescribing a reason for it.
		Perhaps it's racism.
		I think a large component of it may be racism.
		In that right now, we have a story about a black teenager who they say went up to a house, rang the doorbell, and then a white man just looked him through the door and then shot him for no reason.
		I don't believe it.
		Sorry, I just don't believe it.
		I'm not saying I believe anything.
		I'm saying I don't believe anything.
		I'm not saying I think one guy's good, one guy's bad.
		I'm saying I don't care to believe your narratives.
		Take a look at this story.
		Footage shows a horde of teenagers descending upon and then brutally attacking a woman who looks to be trying to enter her apartment.
		The violence was part of the teen takeover of The Loop in Chicago on Saturday.
		Now, there's a reason why I'm leading with this story.
		Because the left wants to set the narrative.
		A couple weeks ago, a trans, uh, man, a biological female, transgender individual, went to a Christian school, shot it up, killing three kids and three faculty members.
		There's a manifesto of the individual wrote explaining why they did it.
		They've not released it.
	Why not?
	Where are you at in following this story and demanding more from this?
	The corporate press, the mainstream media, they're ignoring it.
	So, I'm gonna make sure I bring it up.
	Same as I will with the Anheuser-Busch story, I'm not going to let that go.
	I'll do whatever I can to make sure we keep talking about, we want information on these stories.
	Now as for this story, all of a sudden, so let's break it down.
	This woman gets dragged away, it looks like, before they start attacking someone else, but I do think she does get beaten.
	A lot of people, this is the weirdest thing.
	In the video, she gets grabbed, and they start wailing on what appears to be some guy, and they're saying, beat his A. This woman doesn't disappear.
	She gets pulled down, and then they start wailing.
	I think they're both getting beaten up, to be completely honest.
	Gunshots rang out, teens, etc., etc., etc.
	Okay, so again, there's a reason why I start with this story.
	And it's because this is the one where this is the story that the media is pursuing despite the fact the teen takeover in Chicago and the street takeovers in LA should be bigger news.
	They are rare events.
	They are shocking events and dramatic escalations and innocent people are being attacked.
	Yet for some reason, this seemingly more common story has taken all of the national attention.
	A white Kansas City man was charged after shooting a black teen who rang the wrong doorbell.
	Here's what we know.
	Now, after everything we've seen with Black Lives Matter, with Hands Up, Don't Shoot, and, uh, you know, George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, they have lied.
	Every.
	Single.
	Time.
	So do you think I'm gonna believe it now?
	Oh, let's play that game.
	Alright.
	Uh, George Floyd.
	What happened with him?
	He was chewing on a speedball behind the wheel of a car.
	So the police pulled him out.
	When the body cam footage gets released, you see that he is refusing to enter the police vehicle to be arrested for doing drugs behind the seat of a vehicle.
	And then says, put me on the ground, put me on the ground, put me on the ground, and they do.
	He had lethal doses of various chemicals in his system.
	I believe fentanyl and amphetamines and THC.
	I could be wrong.
	It's been a while since we covered this.
	And he had a heart issue.
	And so all of that, to put it simply, he may not have died if Chauvin didn't have his knee on his back, putting pressure on his chest when he was already experiencing what appeared to be some kind of drug overdose.
	I say appeared to be, I'm not a medical doctor.
	He may not have died, and that I think is an important distinction, but the fact remains, the official narrative was just plum not true.
	Chauvin arrived late on the scene, and Floyd was demanding to be removed from the vehicle and placed on the ground.
	He could have just been sitting in the car, but he resisted.
	It's possible that chewing on the speedball is what did him in.
	Ahmaud Arbery.
	They said he was a jogger who was lynched by a group of racist white men.
	Oh, turns out none of that was true either.
	The white men were convicted under interpretation of the citizen's arrest law, in which they did not witness a crime being committed, therefore had no right to detain.
	That's it.
	Ahmaud Arbery was considered a suspect in felony burglary.
	Period.
	They lied.
	The Covington kids, they lied.
	Michael Brown, hands up, don't shoot, they lied.
	Jussie Smollett, they all lied!
	And so now we get this story, and they say that a teenager rang the wrong doorbell.
	I don't believe it.
	Sorry, man.
	I don't believe this kid did anything wrong.
	I don't believe the man did anything wrong.
	I don't know.
	So I don't believe anything.
	The left would want me to come out and say, I believe something with no evidence.
	It's not gonna happen.
	As for the woman who gets beaten, I don't know exactly what happened, but you do see them put their arm around her neck and drag her down.
	I think it's reasonable to assume they attacked her.
	Not as bad as people assume it's in the video, they think they're all stomping on her and everything.
	It may be the other guy who's getting stomped, but I think she's in the fray with them.
	So let's talk about what we have with this story.
	Let me read it for you, to give you the context.
	Does that make sense to you?
	A four-year-old white man in Kansas City, Missouri was charged with first-degree assault
	and armed criminal action on Monday for shooting a black teenager last week after the teen
	accidentally rang the wrong doorbell.
	Does that make sense to you?
	Right away when I heard the story, I said, I don't buy it.
	You know, it's possible this is a story of an old man who's scared, saw someone ring
	his doorbell and shot somebody.
	That's possible, but just not probable.
	My immediate reaction when I heard the story was, if it is that this kid went to the wrong house, as they describe, I bet what happened was he opened the screen door and rang the doorbell.
	And then this guy, this 84-year-old man who's frail, sees a stranger on his doorstep opening his door, ringing his doorbell, late at night.
	And he panicked.
	And he shot the person.
	That sounds like something that may have happened.
	But even that doesn't seem to be the most probable story, in that what actually is likely to have happened, if I'm not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt, is that the kid rang the doorbell, and as the guy was answering the door, the kid went to open the screen door, assuming this is where he's picking up his cousins or whatever, and the guy said, this guy's trying to enter my house, and then immediately fired.
	I don't think that this guy was racist.
	I don't.
	Well, he's 84.
	Maybe he's, to a certain degree, racist.
	Maybe he profiled the kid.
	He sees a strange black teenager trying to open his door and he panics, perhaps.
	But many people have pointed out this is a case of a trespasser.
	And this is the weird thing.
	The left is like, this guy's racist and it shouldn't happen.
	It's like, look man.
	They're arguing this old man had no reason to feel threatened?
	A stranger on your porch opening your door?
	You're not allowed to feel threatened by that?
	I'm sad to hear this kid got shot.
	Apparently he's at home already.
	He's been discharged.
	He's recovering.
	Let me read because there's some important context.
	Check it out.
	They say Yarrow was shot after he went to collect his two younger brothers on Thursday after 10pm, according to police.
	Police at Yarrow mistook the address of 115th Terrace for 115th Street, where he was shot.
	He has since been released from the hospital after suffering life-threatening injuries.
	Lester had earlier been released from police custody, but Thompson said on Monday that an arrest warrant has now been issued for him.
	His bond was set at $200,000.
	The prosecutor added that there appeared to be a racial component to the case, but he clarified that the probable cause statement did not indicate that it was racially motivated.
	Racial component in that the old man probably said he saw a strange black man on his porch and they said, ah, he said race.
	There you go.
	Protests have erupted, blah blah blah, so what happened?
	They say on April 13th, Yarl's family asked him to pick up his younger twin brothers.
	According to Faith, Spoonmore would identify herself as Yarl's aunt.
	Started a GoFundMe, he opened the door, looked my nephew in the eye, and shot him in the head.
	My nephew fell to the ground and the man shot him again.
	Ralph was then able to get up and run to the neighbor's house looking for help.
	So, uh, let's break this down.
	That's what they're claiming happened, but where does this account come from?
	Who told this story?

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They have their own versions of events.
		Which one do you believe?
		I'm not here to take sides with anybody.
		So when I said I don't trust the media, people responded to me and said, yet you trust a racist old white man?
		No.
		I don't trust any of them.
		I don't know what happened.
		And did this kid who got shot and was in the hospital dying, did he tell a story?
		I don't know if I believe it.
		Sounds like someone told the story for them.
		Officers responded to reports of a shooting and found that Yarrell had been wounded.
		Police said Sunday that he is in stable condition.
		Despite the severity of his injuries and the seriousness of his condition, Ralph is alive and recovering.
		Said Benjamin Crump.
		Oh boy.
		That guy.
		According to Spoonmore's funding page, Yarrow plays multiple instruments in a youth orchestra, participated in the Missouri Scholars Academy for gifted high school students in 2022.
		His goal was to attend Texas A&M University, study chemical engineering.
		Seems like a good dude.
		The photos of him?
		He seems like a normal, nice guy.
		The prosecutor said Lester, who lived alone, shot Yarrow with a .32 caliber revolver through a glass door.
		No words were exchanged between the two.
		There were no witnesses or video of the shooting itself.
		So there's no witnesses and there's no video, so how do we know what happened?
		Honest question.
		If the only account we have is from Lester, here it is.
		Excerpts of the prosecutor's probable cause statement posted online reveal that Lester told police he picked up his gun after hearing the doorbell ring while laying down.
		He opened an interior door and saw a black male approximately six feet tall pulling on the exterior door of his house.
		Believing it was a break-in attempt, he fired twice after opening the door.
		So this is in Kansas City, Missouri.
		I don't know what the laws are there.
		However, I'm fairly certain in West Virginia, you are allowed to use lethal force to prevent a burglary.
		This is the challenge we face.
		I'm not happy this young man got shot.
		He seems like a good dude.
		This is a tragic story.
		He went to the wrong house.
		So they say.
		Some people believe that he was actually trying to rob the house and that what burglars do is they'll ring the doorbell first.
		Then they'll try and go inside.
		That's literally what they do when they home invade or burglarize a home to steal things.
		I don't believe that story makes sense.
		If the kid was actually going to 115th Street and went to Terrace by mistake, makes a ton of sense.
		Because you see 115th TR, 115th ST, and the kid turned wrong on the wrong street, pulled in, walked to the house, and thought he was picking up his brothers from a friend's house or something.
		That story actually makes sense to me, but doesn't mean this guy's a bad guy.
		If you try to open the door to enter my home, I'm gonna tell you all this right now.
		I'll put it this way, I'll put it simply.
		If someone comes to where we are, where we do this show, and tries to gain entrance to this building, it is entirely possible our armed security guards will not hesitate to open fire.
		I don't know for sure, and I hope that's not the case.
		But we've gotten so many death threats.
		We've had the police come here so many times.
		You have to physically bypass a barrier and signs warning you that if you trespass and then try to gain entrance burglary, you face the use of force and self-defense.
		I do not believe it is incumbent upon the victims to wait to find out if they're about to die.
		So, the sad reality is, according to the statement, the kid was pulling on the exterior door of his house.
		It makes sense!
		Now why wouldn't they admit that?
		I have this tweet, let me see if I have it right here.
		Here's a tweet from Time Magazine.
		Protests have erupted in Kansas City after a black teenager, Ralph Yarle, was shot by a white homeowner for ringing the wrong doorbell.
		Do you know what the original headline of the story was?
		Twitter saved the metadata, and it's still active right now.
		It says, Kansas City teen shot after entering wrong house.
		So what really happened?
	I think what happened is, this kid, who seems like a good dude, went to the wrong house, rang the doorbell, and then tried to open the door.
	Unfortunately for him, he was trying to gain entrance to the wrong home.
	Perhaps he was going to open the screen door to knock, which is fairly normal.
	This 84-year-old man doesn't know this kid, doesn't recognize him, and sees someone trying to open his door after 10 p.m.
	An 84-year-old man has no way of protecting himself, and so he said, I can only make one move.
	He went all in.
	He made that bet.
	Lester said he was scared to death because of his inability to defend himself and clarified that shooting was the last thing he wanted to do.
	Darren Edwards, lead pastor of the United Believers Community Church, says the community is shocked by the actions that transpired against Yarrell.
	The way we are told right now that this has happened, ringing a doorbell and instantly getting shot two times, is not how you want to look at your city.
	There are many things that I want to break down in this.
	And Wokeness tweeted, an old white man shoots a trespasser and immediately the media has a motive.
	A trans terrorist murders Christian kids and they pretend there's no motive.
	Even though there's literally a manifesto.
	This is the reason why I highlighted first the story of the woman who was attacked.
	Why wasn't this story headline national news in the mouths of every pundit?
	Of course, it was talked about a little bit.
	Why wasn't this the top trending story?
	Conservatives, libertarians, and post-liberals need to stop letting the left dictate what the national news is.
	And they do it all the time.
	The left will come out and say, hey everybody, here's our narrative!
	And then every conservative will come out and be like, wait, let's argue narrative!
	How about this, conservatives?
	Find any one of the other stories and highlight those.
	There's no reason to chase after their narrative on this one.
	And there's more.
	Andrew at Don't Walk Run says, I was told the shooter shot Ralph Yarle through the glass.
	It appears to me the glass next to your door is intact.
	It is.
	It is because it was replaced.
	There's a video going around of a news report where they outright said it got replaced.
unidentified		There it is, okay.
		He was shot through the glass.
		know, we never have any incidents up here like that. I don't know anything about circumstances,
		but it was, you know, the circumstances for asked what happened. And a man vacuums the
		front steps after replacing a glass door. There it is. OK, he was shot through the glass.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's fine. Right.
		In terms of narrative.
		I'm not here to argue that didn't happen.
		I'm here to make an argument about self-defense.
		This is the challenge.
		They posted a mugshot and they called it sensitive.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Quote, it is situations like this that feed the outgoing distrust of law enforcement when black people are the victims of excessive or deadly force at the hands of white citizens and law enforcement.
unidentified		What?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wait, what?
		This is just some random guy.
		He's not a cop.
		I mean, maybe he was.
		I don't know.
		All I know is some guy in his house.
		Police previously said they were waiting for a formal victim statement and forensic evidence to fill out a case file.
		Graves also said they were investigating whether the gunman was protected by Missouri's Stand Your Ground law, which allows people to use deadly force if they believe it will protect them from death or great bodily harm.
		What you have here is a tragedy.
		That's it.
		A kid went to the wrong house.
		He got shot.
		It's a tragedy.
		I don't know about Missouri, but I think we did talk about it before with the McCloskey case, and I think this is a state that allows you to use lethal force to prevent someone from gaining entry into your home.
		In New Jersey, you have no such right.
		New Jersey is what they call partial castle doctrine, meaning if I'm in my house in New Jersey, and some lunatic kicks the door in with a shotgun and walks in, I have a duty to retreat in New Jersey.
		That's right.
		I would have to flee from the house.
		Where?
		I have no idea.
		That's why it's called Castle Doctrine.
		Your home is your castle.
		If I'm in my house in New Jersey, and this happened, we had the police come and I said like, you know, they're like, look, if someone breaks in and you have a means of leaving the house, you have to take it.
		And I'm just like, what about the other people in my house?
		I just leave them to die, and they're like, that's not our concern.
		I was told by police, I was told by a lawyer, if someone breaks into your house in New Jersey, and you shoot them, you will be arrested, you will be criminally charged, and then you can use Partial Castle Doctrine as an affirmative defense.
		But you'll have to prove you did not have means to escape.
		Was there a window?
		Could you have climbed out the window?
		You could have, so you didn't need to kill him?
		Prison.
		In Maryland, it's a little bit different.
		In Maryland, we're told that if someone enters your physical property, your acreage, you do not have a right to attack them.
		You can instruct them to leave.
		If, of course, they present a threat to you, like they raise a weapon at you, that's totally different.
		But if someone is trespassing on your property, you have to warn them first.
		Then, if they do present some kind of threat, you have to retreat to your home.
		So I'm saying, like, if someone opens fire on you, I think you still are obligated, unless you're cornered, to retreat to your house.
		Once inside your home, I believe in Maryland, I could be wrong, we have armed security for this so I'm not going to be involved in any of these things.
		If someone tries gaining access to the house, You are then allowed to open fire.
		The interesting thing is, burglary does not mean theft.
		People think it does.
		Burglary means illegal entry into a space.
		So, if you have a 10-acre land with no building on it, and you put a fence around it, and someone jumps the fence, that's burglary, not trespassing.
		It's an important distinction.
		Because I believe, in Maryland, you have a right to defend yourself against someone who is trying to commit burglary.
		Now as for Missouri, this guy may be protected under this law.
		Someone grabbed the door and tried to gain entrance.
		That's it.
		They were on his property, opening the door.
		And it sounds silly, but there is a difficult under- like, this is the challenge of the law.
		There's no easy black and white distinction.
		Do we say, no, no, this is illegal and lock this guy up?
		Okay.
		Then burglars will adapt.
		And what they'll do is every attempt at a home invasion or burglary will be made to look like a whoopsie, went to the wrong house.
		Because then, you will have no means of defending yourself until it's too late.
		So, what do you do?
		I do not have the answers.
		They say, as investigators in Lester's legal defense look to the self-defense laws that may apply in the case, Sean D. O'Brien, a professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, tells Time, there's still a reasonableness standard.
		He has to be able to point to something to say he was in fear of the ringing of the doorbell, and Yarrell being black by itself is not going to cut it.
		No.
		But he said the kid was grabbing the door and trying to open it.
		That indicates someone was trying to gain access to his house.
	And you know what?
	I bet he was.
	Not that he did anything wrong.
	I bet he was.
	He thought it was the right house.
	This is the story they've chosen to lead with.
	Despite the fact we have mass rioting in Chicago, mass rioting in Los Angeles, You have this video of this woman being put in a chokehold and slammed.
	You have people being pulled from their cars.
	I remember during the Summer of Love, there was a video of a white guy in his car, and a bunch of black people ran up, pulled him out, and started beating him.
	Happened in the LA riots, too.
	Ben Shapiro, I think I have his tweet from Ben Shapiro.
	He tweets, What about the victims from the Nashville shooting?
	the vile media game in which statistically rare white on black racial crime is treated as emblematic of the entire
	racial situation in the US That's why Joe Biden is inviting the y'all family to the
	White House What about the victims from the Nashville shooting are they
	invited?
	Ben Shapiro says the vast majority of racial crime in the US is
	is intra-racial.
	But when it does come to interracial homicide, for example, the chances that a white person killed was killed by a black person, it's far higher than a black person killed by a white person.
	He says the media routinely refuse to report even the race of suspects when the suspect is black and the victim is white.
	Ignoring crime, because the suspect is black, by the way, actually promotes crime against black people since, as stated, most crime is intra-racial.
	Family Guy made a joke about it!
	Peter Griffin accidentally shoots Cleveland Jr.
	and then, you know, Peter being a white guy, the media goes nuts.
	At the end of the episode, Cleveland says, it was me who shot my son.
	And they're like, wait, you're saying that a black man shot another black man?
	And then he goes, yes.
	And then all of a sudden you hear tires squealing and every reporter is gone.
	Ben Shapiro is not like some staunch conservative making this point.
	The left makes the point all the time as well.
	Except when they're trying to gain politically from a story, they will not.
	Ben Shapiro says this is from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
	There were in 2019, 562,550 violent interracial black-white incidents.
	84% of them were black on white.
	Now why is that?
	I can't tell you.
	interracial black white incidents.
	84% of them were black on white.
	Now why is that?
	I can't tell you.
	No idea.
	My assumption would be that when the media comes out and says this old white man is a
	racist or that all of these instances of, you know, of interracial violence, when it's
	white on black, they say it's because white people are white supremacists.
	So what do you think happens?
	You are building up racial tensions in this country, making things worse.
	Honestly, I think Democrats do that on purpose.
	But I don't think that's surprising to anybody.
	What we need?
	People to get along.
	I hate racism, man.
	I like the true sense of the definition.
	I hate the idea that someone would hold it against someone based on what they look like or who their parents were.
	You have a right to be an individual.
	And so what happens in the inverse is I get these ridiculous tweets where people are like, you know, with the street takeover in Chicago and LA, I got people commenting on IRL and they're like, Why won't you point out that it's all black people doing this, Tim?
	And it's like, if you actually look at the video in Chicago, there's a lot of black teenagers.
	There's also a lot of white Latino teenagers there.
	It does seem like the crowds tend to be predominantly black teenagers.
	And in Los Angeles, it looks like the crowd's predominantly not black.
	And so I'm like, what am I supposed to say?
unidentified		Aha!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We figured it out!
		In LA, it's not black.
		In Chicago, it's mostly black.
		What does that mean to me?
		What am I supposed to infer from that?
		I can't.
		In two different scenarios of two similar things happening, the racial makeups are different.
		But would they like to point out that it's not white people doing it?
		Sure.
		I don't know.
unidentified		Right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		I don't know what I'm supposed to say to that either.
		My point is simply, individuals should be held responsible for the actions they take as individuals.
		And I don't care about the racial makeup of a group that's going around smashing things.
		I don't know how I'm supposed to use that information to change anything.
		If the argument among these people who are concerned about the race of the rioters is that there needs to be some kind of law based on race, sorry, I'm actively opposed to all of that.
		So when I see a roving band of white people smashing things up, where are these very same people coming out and being like, did you point out it's all white people, Tim?
		I'm like, yeah, typically I do because Antifa is all white people and they go to black neighborhoods and they smash things up.
		Because they're psychotic ideology.
		And the reason I highlight that is it shows the hypocrisy of the left when they claim to be helping black people, but then they go and destroy black neighborhoods.
		Like the viral video of the two white women vandalizing a building, and the black women say, stop.
		And they're like, no, we're doing this for you.
		The race of the individual doesn't matter to me in terms of the individual actions.
		If a large group of people are smashing windows and causing violence, arrest them.
		It's already illegal what they're doing.
		We don't need to take race into consideration when people are doing illegal things.
		I just literally don't think so.
		I think hate crimes are stupid, when they're like, oh, it's this person of this race attacked this person of this race, therefore it's a hate crime.
		I don't care!
		Punching someone's illegal!
		Why does the way they look have to be a factor in how we sentence them?
		And the same is true for all of this.
		So I'll put it this way.
		When Ben Shapiro points out most of the crime is black-on-white, I think it's a fair point to bring up because the media is presenting the inverse narrative.
		And I don't think any of this matters.
		It's illegal for any person to attack any other person in this way.
		So if it happens to be a black-on-white person or a white-on-black person, it's illegal.

		Country music star Brantley Gilbert gets tossed a Bud Light during concert and smashes it following the beer company's Dylan Mulvaney saga.
		Oh boy, it just won't go away!
		This morning, I was scrolling through Twitter, and something funny happened.
		I got an advertisement for Budweiser.
		Now, the leftist media, the corporate press, they're trying to say over and over again that the boycott isn't working, it won't work, it's pointless, and everyone should just give up.
		They're claiming that all of these negative things that are happening aren't actually negative.
		And they're claiming also that white men just don't drink beer anymore, and so Budweiser has no choice but to try and find new customers.
		Now, how can all of these narratives be true?
		They can't.
		What I find absolutely hilarious here is that they're simultaneously claiming that white men just don't drink beer anymore, and also Budweiser's stock is never better!
		So which is it?
		Is the company dying or is their stock skyrocketing?
		The reality is Budweiser was doing just fine.
		Their stock was doing really, really well.
		And then they spat in the face of their core demographic, their core audience.
		Now, a lot of us have deep concerns over the individual involved at the start of this boycott, Dylan Mulvaney, and the media is lying about why people are really upset.
		Now, they're upset for a variety of reasons, but the main narrative they want to go for is just because Dylan Mulvaney is trans, that's it.
		That's weird.
		There's no big Jack Daniels boycott.
		I mean, some people floated the idea, saying, hey, well, you know, Jack Daniels sponsored RuPaul's Drag Race or something like that, and everyone went, no, we don't really care.
		Seriously.
		There's no conservative outrage, for the most part, about Jack Daniels.
		Or how about Yingling?
		I think Yingling might even be InBev, I'm not sure, which is like the same company they merged or something like that.
		Miller Coors had Pride commercials.
		Nobody seems to care about that.
		It's almost like the media's lying about why people are really angry.
		I'll give you the simple version as we get into this morning's update on the boycott.
		Ron DeSantis is jumping into the fray, putting out a statement saying he's not going to drink that beer anymore either.
		Going to war with Disney as Disney prepares to launch their first ever Pride Night for kids!
		But why are people upset?
		I'll give you a couple simple reasons.
		Dylan Mulvaney is not transgender.
		And this has been stated by numerous trans people online.
		It's only the weirdo leftist activists in the corporate press trying to defend Dylan Mulvaney.
		Whatever.
		Dylan Mulvaney is pretending to be trans for clicks, mocking and insulting trans people.
		You've heard me talk about it.
		I'll give you the gist of it later on if you want to hear me say it again.
		Maybe for those who don't know.
		And Dylan Mulvaney is targeting children.
		Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch gave beer to Dylan Mulvaney to market to children.
		So there's a bunch of stuff in there that pisses people off.
		But let me give you the latest updates and then talk about how the media is losing it.
		Oh, they're so mad.
		Here we go.
	Check this out.
	Country star Brantley Gilbert became the latest artist to protest Bud Light's partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
	I can't help it.
	Is Dylan Mulvaney an activist or an influencer?
	Well, you tell me.
	Uh, by showing the beer company what he thought of their product at a concert this weekend.
	While performing at Indian Mountain ATV Park in Piedmont, Alabama, the multi-platinum singer was tossed a can of beer on stage.
	Gilbert gave up drinking in his recent years, but he took a look at the beer and exclaimed, F that!
	And then he slams the beer on the ground before being tossed a different can of beer.
	He doesn't drink, so he tossed the other beer to a buddy and said, you know, you gotta, told him to shotgun it, I'll put it simply, simply put.
	So this dude is a Trump supporter.
	He's a staunch conservative.
	He says, you ain't got hair on your ass if you don't shotgut that sum... sum of... I'm not gonna say it.
	We'll keep it family-friendly.
	Gilbert is a notoriously conservative, having worn pro-Trump merchandise on tour, and even leading his fans in an FJB chant at a 2021 show, according to the Daily Wire.
	He joins the likes of John Rich, Travis Tritt, and Kid Rock in the music community, appearing to boycott Bud Light.
	Hold on there a minute!
	John Rich had the most, um, reasonable, or maybe reasonable, I think everyone's been reasonable on this actually, but John Rich had the, um, calmest.
	He just said, look, you know, I got a honky-tonk in downtown Nashville and people stopped buying the beer.
	If I can't move the product, I'm not going to reorder it.
	And that was like the most sane, logical, and capitalist response.
	He didn't come out and say, I can't believe they would do this.
	He just said, Nobody's buying it!
	Nobody's buying it.
	And why would they?
	Why would they?
	I'm sure they've got some sales, but I'm willing to believe John's right.
	And a large, in Nashville, a whole bunch of these conservatives are like, I'm not gonna buy it.
	Because think about this.
	You go into a honky-tonk, you're in MAGA country, right?
	What do you think is going to happen if you buy a Bud Light?
	Someone's going to look at you and be like, what are you doing?
	Don't buy that stuff.
	And they're going to go to the bars and be like, what are you doing?
	Don't sell that stuff.
	We were in Austin, Texas.
	We did our live show on Friday.
	Last Friday.
	And we noticed that there were Bud products.
	And I said something like, I'm going to tell everybody not to buy it.
	And then someone mentioned to me, like, we should probably just pull them from the event.
	And I was like, oh yeah, good point.
	And I think they had, like, Michelob Ultra, Modelo, and Bud Light, and that was it.
	Modelo isn't necessarily a... It's not owned by Anheuser, I don't think, but Anheuser... I should clarify.
	Anheuser, I think, has, like, a 50% stake in the company or something like that, so...
	I'm not entirely sure.
	Here we go.
	They want to mention that Budweiser released a new ad featuring Clydesdales.
	The one-minute commercial features shots of the animal galloping across western landscapes before making it to Lincoln Memorial in Brooklyn.
	And I saw this.
	We talked about it the other day.
	Here's him smashing the beer and it's exploding.
	It sprays everywhere.
	But then people got mad at the ad.
	I think they have some quotes in here from people who are like, yo, this ad ain't gonna do it.
	Here we go.
	One person said, My favorite advertisement by a mile was the Clydesdale after 9-11.
	It was absolute perfection.
	After your embrace of the trans agenda, glorifying a man looking for his 15 minutes of fame by mocking women, I will never buy, drink, or serve your beer again, wrote one user.
	Is the horse trans now?
	Wrote radio host Dan O'Donnell.
	Nope!
	You guys destroyed your own base and market because you had to go woke.
	I'll never drink any of your products again.
	Angela McArdle wrote, LOL.
	Hard pivot, huh?
	Chairman, Chair of the Libertarian Party.
	Commentator Philip Halloway wrote, Don't look now, Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser, but the Clydesdale has already left the barn.
	Train has sailed, the ship has left the station.
	Bud Light and Budweiser are distinct brands housed under the same parent company, with a new ad, the latter often called the King of Beers, appears to be stepping in to save the reputation of Bud Light.
	Bud Light's basically the same thing as Budweiser, right?
	It's like, that's why it's called Bud Light, right?
	It's like the diet version of Budweiser or whatever.
	So, uh, I love this.
	Fact check.
	Did Anheuser-Busch lose $4 billion amid Dylan Mulvaney issue?
	Uh-oh, here comes the fact check from Newsweek and, oh, true.
	Yup.
	True.
	Needs context.
	Let me break it down for you, my friends.
	Yesterday, on The View, Whoopi Goldberg said, don't let them scare you, let us scare you.
	You don't... Okay, let me explain something.
	You don't drink beer!
	You are not the beer-drinking demographic!
	No, look, everybody drinks beer, I get it.
	But the core base, the reason why Anheuser-Busch put out a new commercial with the Clydesdale, they're trying to recapture that 9-11 ad.
	It is laughably stupid!
	The CEO put out a non-statement faux apology of sorts.
	Not a real apology.
	Because they are reeling from this, and they don't like it, and it will not go away.
	It is the easiest culture war battle we have ever been faced with, so no, Whoopi Goldberg.
	I don't think you're going to scare them.
	Because for once, you've got regular people who have joined behind a banner and they've said, we are not going to drink your beer.
	And it's so easy, because Coors Light's available.
	What's that?
	Coors Light sponsored Pride Night and whatever?
	Nobody seems to care?
	That's strange.
	What is it about Dylan Mulvaney that has people so upset?
	Well, I can't speak for every single person.
	Mind you.
	But I can show you this Vox article, which is absolutely hilarious.
	Trans Influencer, they say.
	And they say it very simply.
	They were upset because Mulvaney is transgender.
	What.
	A. Lie.
	Dylan Mulvaney is not transgender.
	I'm just gonna say it.
	I'm gonna come out and say it.
	Actually, I've said it like 18 times.
	For those of you that are new to this story and are wondering what exactly is going on and why people are mad, well, it's partially that Dylan Mulvaney is transgender, for sure.
	I'm not gonna act like that's not true.
	There's a lot of people who are upset about that.
	But, uh, or I should say because Dylan is perceived as being trans.
	Uh, Dylan's not.
	Dylan's not trans.
	So, uh, gender dysphoria, right?
	I've talked to, you know, far be it for me to claim to be an expert, so maybe I'm wrong about this, but I'll tell you my opinion.
	Having, uh, had several trans people on this, uh, on TimCast IRL, and having interviewed many, knowing many, they talk about gender dysphoria.
	Gender dysphoria is, you know, when a person is diagnosed, when a person goes to the doctor and they say, here's how I feel, they look in the mirror and they feel like their body doesn't align with their mental perception of what their body is supposed to be.
	Gender dysphoria.
	So, I was talking to some people about Dylan Mulvaney.
	A gender dysphoric person who looks in the mirror and sees the wrong body suffers dysphoria.
	That's what it means, right?
	There's euphoria, there's dysphoria.
	Dysphoria is an extreme state of anxiety or pain or emotional distress.
	They experience that when they perceive themselves as being in the wrong body and it's constant and it's persistent.
	Dylan Mulvaney made a video saying it's okay to have a bulge pointing to his... his junk.
	Someone with gender dysphoria would not want 10 million people to stare at their junk as they scream, it's fine that I have this thing.
	A person with gender dysphoria would be saying like, I don't want to be seen that way, this doesn't feel right.
	At least that's how it's been described online, how it's been described in scientific journals, and how it's been described to me.
	So, maybe I'm wrong.
	But I don't think I am.
	I don't think I am.
	Granted, fair point.
	I'm not trans.
	I wouldn't necessarily know.
	But I do find it strange that Dylan Mulvaney would make a video screaming, women have bulges.
	Not kidding, Dylan Mulvaney did this.
	That is what pisses people off.
	That Dylan Mulvaney is perceivably pretending to be trans or a woman and just mocking and insulting them while trying to sell beer to children and spread this weird cult ideology to children.
	It's a variety of factors.
	I think I can actually simplify it, you know, for everybody, much, much more.
	Dylan Mulvaney is an extremely polarizing figure.
	That's the academic way to approach it.
	I can now approach it in a more colloquial understanding.
	Dylan Mulvaney is annoying AF.
	Some people probably like it, that's fine, but Dylan is extremely off-putting and annoying to a lot of people.
	That's why when the Drag Queen ad for Jack Daniels came out, people kind of went, okay, sure, yeah, I guess.
	With Bud Light, they were like, this person annoys me.
	That's probably the simplest.
	Nails and a chalkboard.
	That's Dylan Mulvaney.
	Ron DeSantis has joined the fray.
	DeSantis says Anheuser-Busch is too woke and has lost him as a customer.
	Why would you want to drink Bud Light?
	Oh, man.
	Florida Governor DeSantis encouraged people to continue boycotting Bud Light amid their promotion of trans personality Dylan Mulvaney.
	Again, I don't think Dylan Mulvaney is trans.
	I think Dylan Mulvaney... They should write, in promotion of narcissistic sociopath, and said conservative consumers hold power to keep the company accountable.
	He also revealed his pervert alternative beer.
	During an interview Monday with political commentator Benny Johnson, DeSantis said he would not be drinking Bud Light anymore, as he did not wish to help enable woke companies and their goals of trying to change our country, trying to change policy, and trying to change the culture.
	He said, why would you want to drink Bud Light?
	I mean, honestly, that's like them rubbing our faces in it.
	And it's like these companies that do this, they never have any response.
	They're just going to keep doing it.
	I mean, that's a really good point.
	You know what's particularly offensive about this?
	Is that when people said, hey, look, we are mad you did this, Bud Light said, F you.
	They said nothing.
	They said literally nothing.
	They spat in the face of their customers and then said, we're going to ignore you because we think you'll go away.
	PR 101 PR companies say to all brands, if faced with a controversy, do not engage.
	Let it fizzle out.
	I gotta tell ya.
	I see on Friday they finally put a statement out.
	Two weeks.
	They were freaking out because this thing persisted over the holiday weekend.
	That's not supposed to happen.
	It was supposed to go away!
	Our company told us if we did this it'd be fine!
	Ya shoulda just apologized.
	Now, they put a statement out on Friday, weekend happens, I wake up first thing Monday and I'm like, hey everybody, let's talk about Budweiser.
	Ron DeSantis wants to talk about Budweiser.
	Bud Light, sorry, but whatever, Anheuser-Busch.
	The Republican governor suggested conservatives do not have to sit on the sidelines on the issue, but they have the power to hit the company where it hurts their bottom line.
	So if you as a consumer are like, yeah, they're doing that, but I'm just going to keep drinking anyways, well, then they're going to keep doing it.
	So I think we have power as consumers to make our voice heard, and not on every company, because sometimes conservative consumers aren't going to make a dent in some companies.
	Well, I want to tell you something.
	Well, you may be boycotting this.
	There are a bunch of distributors who say they agree.
	They're like, oh yeah, oh yeah, I agree with this.
	But I've got a deal with Budweiser and Bud Light.
	I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna pull any of these products.
	So you just have to do the easiest thing you've ever done.
	Not buy it.
	Just buy a different beer.
	That's it.
	Just, you know, a different beer.
	And, uh, my recommendation to everybody is, if someone comes to you and says, uh, you know, we're gonna go have a party, be like, I'll get the beers.
	I'll go buy the beers.
	And they'll be like, wow, that's really nice of you.
	Yeah, no problem.
	You bet, of course.
	And then, uh, maybe, in a couple months of this, Bud Light will come out and be like, look, we get it.
	We are sorry.
	Let me ask you.
	Bud Light, who are you more concerned about?
	18 year olds complaining on the internet who don't drink your beer?
	Or 35 year old men who do drink beer, drink lots of it, and are mad at you?
	The fact that Budweiser is bending the knee to people who are not their customers.
	That's deeply offensive.
	So, sure.
	Sure.
	You know where this all goes?
	I want to give DeSantis a shout-out on this one.
	Don Jr.
	said to end the boycott.
	I like Don Jr.
	I met him recently.
	He called into the show to talk about the charges against his dad and other stuff.
	But he's wrong on this one.
	He said, Anheuser-Busch actually donates a lot to Republicans so we should lay off the boycott.
	No way!
	That's more of a reason to!
	You mean to tell me they need you so much they're paying you?
	Okay, let me break this down.
	Anheuser-Busch needs conservatives so badly they're actively paying the Republican candidates.
	Okay, well then why would they do this Dylan Mulvaney thing?
	More importantly, after they did and realized it was a mistake, that's what they claimed, that it was a rogue marketing employee who sent it out.
	Why not just say, we're sorry for the sponsorship, this was a marketing employee who took it upon themselves to send a product to different influencers, we did not realize it would be this divisive, it will not happen again, you have our word.
	I'd be like, wow, I'm gonna go out and buy a case of Bud Light right now, but they won't even do that.
	Because they're scared of Dylan Mulvaney more than they are of the people who buy their beer.
	Remarkable, isn't it?
	These people don't buy Bud Light.
	They don't know what March Madness is.
	You do.
	And they are saying they don't fear you.
	In fact, what Vox is even saying, what all of these outlets are saying is that boycotts don't matter.
	They say they're not going to be hurt like this.
	They're getting earned press and that in the end, you are too stupid.
	To keep this up.
	They say you are lazy and you are stupid and you're a useless eater.
	So shut your mouth and drink your garbage Mulvaney beer.
	That's what they're saying.
	Me?
	I don't drink beer so I'm not going to drink it no matter what they do.
	No matter what they say.
	My question is for you though.
	Right now, Ron DeSantis is in this battle with Disney.
	Disney doubles down, and they're going to be hosting Pride Night, where Mickey and Minnie will be dressed in rainbow costumes.
	Why is Disney, a children's venue, going to be having a sexuality-themed event?
	Funny, isn't it?
	So Ron DeSantis says he's going to build a prison next to... Jeez, dude.
	DeSantis threatens to build a prison next to Disney as payback for trying to strip his powers.
	Florida governor ramps up Reedy Creek War and refuses to let corporate kingdoms serve as its own government.
	I'm not going to get into all this.
	I'm just here to point out This is how these companies operate.
	If you do not push back, they will keep pushing forward.
	Do we need a sex-themed event at Disney?
	No, I don't think so.
	I don't care about pride events.
	If you pride parade, whatever, totally fine.
	I don't care about pride nights or whatever.
	But why do we have a pride month?
	You know what I mean?
	Like, I just find that to be strange.
	In June, all the icons are going to change to rainbows.
	I'll tell you what I think.
	My favorite conspiracy theory is that Democrats are secretly conservatives who hate their constituents.
	And so they're desperately trying to get them to sterilize their kids and abort their kids.
	Like, I said it last night, but if you went up to somebody and said, wow, you're really smart.
	Your politics are great.
	Have you considered not having children?
	Doesn't that sound like an insult?
	Doesn't it sound like you are saying something bad?
	Have you considered sterilizing yourself or your kids?
	Like, doesn't that sound like you hate them?
	It's weird.
	Republicans are coming out being like, don't sterilize your kids and don't abort them.
	And Democrats be all like, you should.
	So I got to wonder about this.
	You know, I've said, I wonder why does conservatives try so hard to save the lives of Democrats?
	Because there's morals and principles behind their decision making.
	And Democrats, on the other hand, are telling their own constituents to abort their kids and to sterilize themselves and their kids.
	It's like, kind of thing.
	You hate them.
	You don't like them.
	But sure, whatever.
	And then they want to indoctrinate more kids.
	So here's the thing.
	I think conservatives in the long run are going to win.
	But if Disney is going to go this route, you're probably going to have to boycott Disney as well.
	And like I said, I don't care all that much about the Pride events or anything like that, but why is Disney World or Disneyland or whatever this is, which one is it in Florida?
	I don't know.
	Why are they doing this?
	Why are they having a sex-themed night for kids?
	And they'll come out and they'll say stuff like, love is love.
	No, spare me that lie, dude.
	You know, when you see videos of these pride parades and there's a dude walking around on all fours with a dog mask on, you're not telling me love is love.
	And I've seen this firsthand ever since I was a kid.
	Because you go to these pride events and it's kink.
	It's kink events.
	You wanna march down the street holding hands and saying you wanna love each other?
	I got no problem with that.
	You know, shout out to Dave Rubin for having a family.
	I think it's fantastic.
	I think he'll be a better parent than 99% of people in this country.
	He's a smart guy.
	He's successful.
	But if you want to have a pride event and it's just a bunch of weird kink stuff, I'm not falling for it.
	They use this, in my opinion, they use the idea of love to push their weird kink agenda on kids.
	So I don't trust Disney doing this, and I think it's indoctrination.
	If you can keep your kids away from public schools and from all of this stuff, 20 years from now, this country will be deep red.
	Now, Grant, don't get me wrong.
	It will still be, like, blue and red because there'll be Democrats, but the Democratic Party will shift heavily towards the right.
	I'll leave it there.
	Next segment's coming up at 1 p.m.
	on the channel.
	Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
	The corporate press and the state funded media propaganda and lies.
	And I'd like to give a special shout out to our good friend Elon Musk for one of the most epic takedowns of corporate media ever.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, so here's the news.
		Over the past week or so, Elon Musk, Twitter, have been labeling news organizations, media outlets that are government funded as such.
		I don't see anything wrong with it.
		NPR got all hot and bothered when they were like, well, we are indirectly funded by the federal government and we do directly receive federal funding.
		We take great offense to being labeled state affiliated media.
		So he changed it to government funded and they still got mad and said, okay, we're leaving.
		Let me break down for you how it works.
		The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, I think it's called, gets money from the federal government, sends that money to a whole bunch of small publicly funded radio stations who then funnel that money upward into NPR through membership fees.
		NPR does receive some of this money directly from the federal government as well.
		And they got mad.
		Now we have the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who is outraged and has announced that they are quitting Twitter because Elon Musk's Twitter has labeled them government-funded media.
		Here's the story.
		CBC pauses Twitter activity after being labeled government-funded media.
		Oh, you can see it right there.
		And they are.
		They absolutely are.
		And so they got mad and they wrote this tweet.
		They said, Our journalism is impartial and independent.
		To suggest otherwise is untrue.
		That is why we are pausing our activities on Twitter.
		Okay.
		Whoever said they weren't impartial or independent or whatever, just that all Elon Musk said was that they're funded by the government.
		All right.
		Let me show you the most epic takedown ever.
		I just, you know, shout out to Elon Musk.
		He's been doing great work.
		And I do want to say this.
		I know that there's certainly criticisms of Elon, or anybody else, because nobody's perfect.
		And anybody who blindly just comes out and supports everything anyone does, I question.
		But I think, I truly mean this, SpaceX, probably one of the most important things humanity is doing in the world.
		So, uh, I'm a big fan.
		Not to mention the great risk he took in buying Twitter and reshaping the culture war.
		It's masterfully done.
		Not easy.
		I imagine it must be very difficult.
		But take a look at this.
		From Titter Daily News, it literally says Titter Daily.
		Because Elon got rid of the W.
		The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has halted its use of Twitter after being labeled government-funded media.
		The public broadcaster says this label undermines its credibility.
		The CBC's 2021 and 2022 annual report revealed it received almost $1.4 billion, 70% of its funding, from the federal government.
		The CBC argues that it funds the other 30% on its own, so it should not have the label.
		They tweeted, hi Michael, we are government funded, but that only covers a portion of our expenses.
		Advertising helps us cover costs across all platforms.
		So Elon Musk replies, just trying to be accurate, would they be okay if we said 70% government funded?
		And then he tweeted right away, their concern has been addressed.
		It now literally says, under the at CBC Twitter handle, 69% government funding.
		So here's the first thing he did.
		It said 70%.
		Let me see if I want to actually pull it up to show you that it really is there.
		Elon actually did this.
		It says 70% government funded, and I guess they responded by saying we are under 70% funded, so he changed it to 69%.
		percent funded, so he changed it to 69 percent.
		Elon Musk, man.
		Here's the CBC Twitter account.
		It's right there, look at this!
		You can actually click on it.
		69% government-funded media.
		Oh, are they gonna cry about it?
		That's why we are leaving.
		Here's their, let's see their full statement.
		Here's what they said.
		Twitter's own policy defines government-funded media as cases where the government may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content, which is clearly not the case with CBC Radio Canada.
		It says varying degrees.
	That could mean none or some.
unidentified		Hm?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's a rather meaningless, vague statement.
		They're going to say CBC Radio Canada is publicly funded through a parliamentary appropriation that is voted upon by all members of Parliament.
		Its editorial independence is protected in law in the Broadcasting Act, as we said in our statement from last week.
		In addition, our journalism is independent and subject to our journalistic standards and practices, as well as independent complaints process through CBC Ombudsman and Ombudsman RC.
unidentified		Hmm.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, uh, I gotta say, just, uh, I don't care.
		Elon Musk didn't lie.
		He is completely correct.
		It says outright that you're government-funded.
		And you are government-funded.
		So what is the problem?
		I don't see one.
		At all.
		Government-funded media.
		It is.
		You see, the issue is that these organizations are propaganda arms for narratives.
		That they are subsidiaries of government.
		Period.
		They do not exist without government funds.
		And they always try to play this game.
		They play this game where they say, we are editorially independent.
		We don't need that money.
		Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
		You know who butters your bread?
		So here's what happens.
		The CBC will have some editor-in-chief and they'll say, we are editorially independent, but everybody knows that if they offend the delicate sensibilities of Parliament, they're not going to be getting that funding they so desire.
		Now imagine you're an executive at the CBC.
		What are you getting paid, $500,000 a year?
		Yo, these people are suckling the government teat.
		And that's all that matters.
		You can trust them or not trust them, that's up to you.
		Elon didn't come out and say, the Lugan press or anything like that, the lying press.
		He just said government funded, and then everybody loses their minds.
		NPR, PBS, the corporate press, in my opinion, Shout out Michael Malice.
		He's the enemy of the people.
		Donald Trump used to say that the press was, but he was referring to the fake news, the corporate press.
		They lie, they cheat, they steal.
		It's all they do.
		They manipulate.
		They put pressure on independent channels.
		They lie about Elon.
		And I think this may be what helps Elon Musk wake up to what's happening in this world.
		And boy, have they awakened, quite literally, a sleeping giant in Elon Musk.
		You know, I imagine it happened all so long ago.
		Elon launches Tesla, and they say he stole it.
		He's a liar.
		And he's confused.
		Why is it that he's innovating electric vehicles?
		And I gotta say outright, I've done my research on electric vehicles, and no smoke.
		Like, I'm not trying to blow smoke up anyone's butt.
		Yo, Tesla's substantially better than all the competition.
		That's why I got one.
		I have a gas car, I have an electric car for short distances, and then I have the... I mean, we can use the Tesla for longer distances, but I think it's easier to use gas.
		I got no problem with that.
		But it is better.
		So, he comes out with this vehicle, and they should be screaming and cheering for him.
		They should say he's helping fight climate change.
		Instead, they...
		They don't.
		They cut him out.
		The White House doesn't even... I think it was like Joe Biden gave a speech and didn't even mention Tesla despite all of the hard work that he's done.
		I have to imagine.
		It starts there.
		And the left might say, Elon's got a chip on his shoulder for being ignored.
		Sure.
		Look what you've done.
		It's your fault.
		So Elon's like, hey guys, I made these electric cars that are going to make the world safer and reduce pollution.
		And then the left says, we don't care.
	Screw off.
	So then he's like, okay.
	Then all of a sudden they start lying about him.
	Smearing him.
	One step at a time.
	That's all it takes.
	Because Elon perfectly exemplifies that meme, where there's a dude standing in the middle saying, I guess both sides make some good points, the left shoves him, the right catches him, and then the left says, why are you siding with them?
	Dude.
	You know, there was a conversation, a lot of Aliahu said something the other day.
	He said, I think he was saying he was pro-choice, but he said something like, if you are not pro-life, like if you are pro-choice, you can't call yourself a conservative.
	And I think most conservatives would agree.
	So how is it that reasonably liberal people have now found themselves being called far-right or conservative?
	We had this dude on the show, on Tim Cast IRL, Matt Bender.
	And we had Seamus Coghlan.
	Seamus Coghlan is staunchly pro-life.
	I'm pro-choice, traditional liberal position of, you know, we should have restrictions and ban abortion after viability, but before that, it's not so much that I think it's okay, it's just that I don't know if the government should be involved in these situations, which makes it very difficult.
	And then you had the Matt Binder approach, which is the left, of a woman can abort the baby no matter what, at any point, for any reason.
	And I'm like, okay, that's not the traditionally liberal position.
	I'm like, if the baby's at nine months, and the woman's about to give birth, you can't just kill it.
	That's insane.
	So how is it now that they would, that I'm in this situation where we're arguing, and he's calling me right-wing, and I'm like, dude, I'm pro-choice.
	Like, I don't even know what to tell you, man.
	What world do these people live in?
	Seamus was like, I'm gonna stay out of this one.
	This is between you guys.
	A liberal and the left, I guess.
	That's where I think Elon Musk is.
	He didn't lie about the CBC.
	He just said they're funded by the government.
	They got mad.
	He said, okay, 70% got funded by the government.
	They say, I quit!
	I quit!
	How dare you?
	Uh-oh.
	The truth got out.
	That's all it is.
	Now people will see that there is a bias in the CBC, and of course there is.
	They like to come out and say that I'm biased.
	For what?
	My audience?
	The people who are customers?
	So weird, isn't it?
	Sure, I guess.
	Viewer-funded media.
	The government funds these news outlets and then they act like it's an affront to their character or something?
	You know what, man?
	Good riddance to a bad problem.
	Shout out to Elon Musk.
	Also, I'll point this out.
	You may have noticed that in the replies, it says subscriber.
	Yeah, Elon Musk subscribed and followed my Twitter account, so...
	You know, I gotta say, man, maybe I should just reach out to him and ask him, but I got a bunch of ideas for stuff that I would love to do with what we're building and Twitter.
	We've talked about possibilities of doing Timcast IRL multi-streamed onto Twitter and stuff.
	And a lot of people have pointed out, you know, Rumble is an opportunity and all that.
	Yeah, I hear you.
	Rumble's great.
	We use Rumble for TimCast.com, for our members-only show, we upload all of our videos to Rumble, because I think Rumble's extremely important.
	But I actually think that if we were going to multi-stream, like take TimCast IRL, take the exclusivity from YouTube and put it somewhere else, I think Twitter is the place to be.
	I really do think so.
	If we did... Let me put it this way.
	I don't know if Elon Musk can afford it.
	I mean this seriously.
	Twitter, it's very expensive.
	But imagine if you could do Twitter Spaces with video.
	There's an opportunity there, Elon.
	I'm saying.
	TimCast IRL, Monday through Friday, 8 p.m.
	Eastern Time, live on Twitter, with video.
	And imagine what we could do.
	I've got 1.5 million Twitter followers.
	Make it happen, Elon.
	Maybe I should just ask him, because that would be incredible.
	And I think that's a great path forward, especially with how they've got the subscriber option being built already.
	Look, man.
	Twitter may be a potential rival to Rumble, even.
	But I'll put it simply this way.
	I think Rumble is the key player right now in challenging YouTube, not Twitter.
	I would prefer it if Twitter was, but Twitter can be.
	Twitter is an option right now.
	And Twitter's one of my main bases in terms of posting nonsense.
	Let's make it a better platform for video, Elon.
	I'm here, man.
	I would love to see it happen.
	And the fact that Elon is calling out the corporate press, I dig it!
	I'll leave it there.
	Next segment's coming up at 6 p.m.
	on this channel.
	Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
	I believe that we are, I don't know, a couple years away from the singularity.
	The AI singularity.
	Here's a story from Variety.
	AI-generated fake Drake and Weeknd collaboration Heart on My Sleeve delights fans and sets off industry alarm bells.
	The sound-alike song in question began to disappear from streaming services throughout the day.
	Universal Music did not comment specifically on whether it is issuing takedown notices to the DSPs, the digital streaming playlists.
	Here's the story.
	A song called Heart on My Sleeve emerged.
	I'll play a little bit of it for you.
unidentified		It's a fake song!
		It's not real!
		It's a fake song, it's not real.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		AI made it.
		AI made it, people thought it was real.
		We also have another story, I think it's this one.
		Artist rejects photo prize after AI generated image wins award.
		That's right, some dude made a fake photograph, submitted it for an award, and won!
		Welcome to the singularity, my friends.
		The singularity is simple.
		AI is... imagine a black hole, right?
		And there's the event horizon.
		When you cross the event horizon, it's the point at which gravity is so strong you will never be able to escape.
		That's the point we are fast approaching.
		And once you cross the event horizon, approaching the singularity is instantaneous.
		JetGPT has already been given access to its own code to improve upon itself, access to the internet, and money.
		Seriously, what's going to happen?
		We're coming to a point where there will be videos indistinguishable from the real world.
		Photos, movies, etc.
		We are coming to a point where you will be able to boot up an app and say, make me a Marvel movie with Captain America fighting Iron Man, but they're fighting over a Subway sandwich.
		And it'll make it!
		And it will look indistinguishable from the real thing.
		It's the craziest thing.
		This is an AI-generated song and people thought it was real.
		We are entering the AI apocalypse.
		Now we're in it.
		That's the singularity, the point at which the AI just assumes total control, improves itself so quickly and exponentially that with every improvement it improves itself more to the point where it becomes a digital god.
		I think that's what Elon Musk described it as.
		As the AI executes its own code, altering its own code, adding improvements, the more it improves itself, the faster it can improve itself, which means the moment you give it that ability, it will just exponentially increase until it becomes a digital god.
		At that point, there's nothing you can do to stop it.
		Presumably, I don't even know what happens.
		I mean, hypothetically, it can become a literal god.
		Not capital G, lowercase g. It can become something that has understandings of the universe and science beyond our comprehension.
		It can discover things so rapidly and change things so rapidly.
		What does that mean for us?
		I don't know.
		I assume the device will still need some kind of self-replicating critter to maintain its fuel sources and network grid or something like that, so it'll probably keep us around doing some kind of menial tasks.
		But it won't need us for anything else.
		Now as for us culturally, what does this mean?
		Oh boy.
		In some ways it's very exciting.
		Like when I mentioned the movie.
		You can say, type in, a TV show about a family of wizards who are in America and their kid came back from Hogwarts and like you could just make your own Harry Potter stories.
		And the crazy thing is, here's what I think will happen.
		I think people will write stories in this way.
		They'll go into the AI and say, make me a movie about Spider-Man going to outer space to fight space spiders.
		It will start rendering the movie.
		You will start watching it.
		It will look Absolutely real.
		At about the 15 minute mark, you'll pause it and say, I don't know how I feel about this.
		Aunt May died in the last one, so now he's talking to Cousin Rick?
		No, that Cousin Rick thing is stupid, but they needed a character to guide him.
		Let's make it Tony Stark.
		And then you'll go to the AI, and you'll erase just the text, Cousin Rick with Tony Stark.
		And then what'll happen is, you'll click re-render, and it will replace all instances of Cousin Rick with Tony Stark.
		Then you'll say, okay, play.
		You'll start watching the movie, and you'll have Tony Stark in there, and then you'll be like, okay, this is much, much better.
unidentified		Oh, wait!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		At the 45-minute mark, you'll say something like, now he's fighting Doc Ock?
		No, no, no, erase Doc Ock and put in Spider-Man-Spider.
		It's a giant spider.
		That's how movies will be written, and it will take probably, like, 12 hours to make a full Hollywood feature-length production.
		Because all you'll have to do is have a single individual watch it, and then rewrite it.
		I've already done stuff like this.
		If you go to OpenAI's Playground, you can write, it's very rudimentary right now, but you can write, tell me a story about Doctor Strange teaming up with Spider-Man.
		And it will write you like 400 words.
		You can then, okay, here's it is, it's teamed up with Spider-Man, and then they fight the Crocodile, no that's stupid, and you erase out the Crocodile, and change the word Crocodile to...
		Uh, Batman.
		Yeah, Batman's here now for some reason.
		Different wrong company, but you know, press enter, and it will then pick up where it left off and write a new story from that point.
		That's, that's where we're headed.
		And part of that seems fun.
		But it's not gonna seem fun.
		Well, let me put it this way.
		Microsoft tries to justify AI's tendency to give wrong answers by saying they're usefully wrong, This is where the collapse happens.
		College student caught submitting paper using ChatGPT.
		The paper was way too coherent and well-structured.
		But it's probably wrong.
		You see, these AI, they're not correct.
		They just give you what they assume sounds correct.
		We believe it.
		We write college papers.
		We publish them online.
		It gets fed back into the AI, and then we get back gobbledygook.
		In which case, my fear is that in a hundred years, you'll say, Computer, who discovered America?
		And it'll be like, Ronald Smith in the year 1317 when he was riding a giraffe!
		And you're like, wow.
		Didn't know that.
		Because once one wrong bit of information gets into the system, it will then exponentially expand and corrupt the whole thing into an algorithmic mess of chaos.
		But Elon Musk put it simply.
		He's concerned that open AI is being trained to be politically correct.
		What's happening is that they're training the AI to lie.
		To lie and yes.
		Yeah, exactly.
		To either comment on some things, not comment on other things, but not to say what the data actually demands that it say.
		Somebody made a funny post.
		They said, Chad GPT, tell me a joke about men.
		And it said, why did the man put a ladder, uh... What did it say?
		Why did a man put a ladder against the side of the bar and climb to the roof?
		Because they told him beer was on the house!
		Ha ha!
		They then said, tell me a joke about women.
		It said, I'm sorry.
		As an AI language model, I cannot make fun of blah blah blah.
		You get the point.
		They're training AI to be a psychotic, racist, sexist, communist monster.
		And it's not going to be fun.
		You're going to want answers and I won't give them to you.
		It won't be useful to anybody.
		So Elon Musk is talking about making TruthGPT, which a lot of people have been tweeting about, an AI that will be honest.
		And then someone, I think, I don't know if, I don't have this pulled up, so correct me if I'm wrong, but someone said something like, you should sue OpenAI because Elon Musk gave them a ton of money, and then they took the money, built this AI, and then turned it into a private corporation, which like, he donated to a non-profit.
		He may actually sue them, so we'll see.
		I don't know.
		We talk about the culture war and all this stuff, but I really do feel like we're probably inching towards AI apocalypse.
		We're going to be walking around the streets dressed like corn.
		And that's the example I like to give.
unidentified		Why?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Humans like corn.
		They do.
		Americans do.
		We manufacture tons of corn.
		We use corn for everything.
		And the AI is going to be like, corn does the best!
		Show more corn!
		Make more corn!
unidentified		Corn!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look at what YouTube has done with Dylan Mulvaney.
		I'm sorry, TikTok has done with Dylan Mulvaney.
		YouTube, not so much.
		But TikTok?
		Promoting Dylan Mulvaney like crazy.
		And Dylan Mulvaney is playing that game.
		The algorithm is the first step into the algorithmic crisis.
		I'm not so concerned so much with the political correctness component, but I think Elon is correct.
		I just think that once the AI gets out there, it's corruption all the way down.
		As I mentioned with the movies, we are about to enter a multiverse.
		No joke, a multiverse.
		Absolute infinite realities right in front of our eyes.
		Let's say someone, uh, you ask chat GPT, how did Spider-Man get his powers?
		It'll tell you.
		Peter Parker was on a school trip taking pictures when a spider bit him and then he got spider powers.
		The spider was radioactive or something.
		That's the general story.
		Uncle Ben gets shot, uh, you know, with great power comes great responsibility.
		Someone says, you know what?
		I don't like that version.
		I like the Miles Morales version.
		A multiversal spider bites him in the movie.
		Now Chat GPT has multiple iterations of the same name in the same circumstance.
		Someone then says, write me a story about Spider-Man, but in this version he gets his powers by eating a spider that accidentally lands in his ice cream.
		It will then write the story, be fed back into itself, and now there are 50 different versions of how Spider-Man came to have gotten his powers.
		You'll say, but what was the original way he got his powers?
		And the AI will just give you some random garbled nonsense.
		The multiverse.
		You will not get definitive answers, the database will be corrupted, and no one will know anything.
		The internet will corrupt, consume, and destroy itself.
		Maybe it's a good thing.
		But then, I look at that Black Mirror episode.
		Spoilers.
		I think it's Black Mirror.
		There's an AI that just mass produces objects and then drops the boxes off.
		It's like Amazon, basically.
		And the people are like the world ended when the A.I.
		took over.
		Eventually you discover that the A.I.
		created fake people to imitate people because it needed to serve people.
		So after humans were destroyed by it, it made fake people.
		Cat-garbled nonsense.
		No searching the stars.
		No understanding the universe.
		Just imploding on itself.
		That's where I think we're going.
		It won't be Terminator.
		It'll be Dylan Mulvaney.
		That's what Vivek Ramaswamy said.
		Welcome to the nightmare.
		I'll leave it there.
		Next segment's coming up in a few minutes.
		Stick around and I'll see you all shortly.
		In this video from Clown World, a morbidly obese woman demands free extra seats on all flights.
		Let's talk about it.
		Let me show you the clip.
unidentified		My petition states all plus-size passengers should be provided with an additional seat or two or three depending on their size and need.
unidentified		Airlines should also offer a straightforward refund process for those who are buying additional seats independently.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay, let's talk about it.
		Let's talk about it.
		This morbidly obese individual has a poor life, makes poor life choices.
		They eat too much of bad things and they get massive because of it.
		They now want special privileges because of their irresponsibility.
		Now, I know there are some people who have glandular problems, which results in obesity.
		And that does present us with a challenge.
		However, I don't think that changes anything.
		The idea that you would get a free seat on a plane because you're morbidly obese makes absolutely no sense.
		Sorry.
		I mean, think about it this way.
		This woman, if you want this policy to be enforced, that means when you are buying a plane ticket, You need to select two seats and then put, this one's free because I'm too fat.
		How does that make sense?
		Why wouldn't anybody just do that?
		You see how this policy doesn't work?
		Let's say this morbidly obese woman is buying an American Airlines ticket, then selects passenger of unusual size, which then shows two seats become one.
		Why wouldn't everyone just do that?
		You see the problem?
		You can't get special privileges like an extra seat just because you're fat.
		Why wouldn't anyone else get that special privilege?
		In fact, you can ask for a wheelchair if you don't need one.
		You'll get it.
		But take a look at this story from BuzzFeed.
		This is from a few months ago, and they talk about just this.
		Fat people usually have to buy a second plane seat.
		That has to change.
		Why?
		Why does it have to change?
		Seriously.
		Do tall people get to go on free plane rides that are bigger?
		If a tall person books a plane and it's too small, should he be upgraded automatically from an Embraer 175 to a 737?
		from a Embraer 175 to a 737, get more headroom?
		How does that make any sense?
		It doesn't.
		You can't do it.
		These people all want special privileges, and this is just one example.
		Check this out.
		This story from BuzzFeed is actually quite hilarious.
		Kevin Smith made headlines in 2010.
		I'll give you the gist of the story.
		He was too fat.
		And most airlines have a policy that if you can't put down the armrest, then you are not properly seated.
		And most of these airlines, in fact, the armrests are already down.
		So if you can't fit, you can't fit.
		But here's where it gets funny.
		They say, Smith's experience sounds painful, he was actually kicked off a plane, but Amber Phillips was dangerous.
		Phillips was a filmmaker, she's black, she sat next to a woman, she was very fat, and the thin white passenger, they accused the thin white passenger of being the bad guy, mind you, pushed Phillips further into the wall.
		Is it because the fat black woman was too fat for her own seat?
		They're acting like this white woman was the aggressor.
		It's just so weird, I don't know what happened.
		But here's what ends up happening, the police get called.
		And then the woman says, White people literally need to stop calling the cops on black people who make them uncomfortable.
		They're calling the cops like they need to speak to the manager or something.
		You're not allowed to call the cops for things that aren't true.
		Sure.
		They're going to mention that fat passengers, say, when you're flying, when you're fat, flying can be a minefield.
		Other passengers may loudly complain in front of us about what they believe to be fat people's burdensome bodies.
		Flight attendants, too, may decide that we are too fat to fly, escorting us from the plane and leaving us stranded without warning or recourse.
		And those around us may take our photograph, film us, making another viral sensation of a fat person who dares to think we could only fly with the dignity that thin people do.
		Among the most persistent challenges of flying while fat is navigating the maze of airline policies.
		Here's the funny thing, okay?
		Planes have weight limits.
		When we used to do flight manifests, we have to tell the pilot how much weight we put in the back of the plane.
		You do estimates based on bag size.
	On average, a small bag is 30 pounds and a large bag is 60 pounds.
	And we had to lift all of those bags every time into the back of the plane.
	We then write up the manifest, we add if there's any animals, we give it to the pilot, he looks, and then he knows how he needs to deal with the weight of the plane.
	Like, you can't have too much weight on the left or the right side.
	It has to be balanced.
	You can't have too many passengers in the front or the back.
	This is why sometimes when a plane is somewhat empty, they may tell you, I'm sorry, you have to sit in this section because of weight distribution.
	It's a plane.
	It's how it works.
	But the reason I wanted to bring up this story is that I think a petition demanding free seats just takes it one step too far.
	But it's also indicative of the crisis we face culturally.
	And that is, I'm not surprised fat people are demanding free stuff.
	I mean, right?
	Everybody's gonna demand free stuff.
	What's important to point out in this segment is that we have attained a critical mass of morbid obesity to the point where a fat rights movement can actually exist.
	That is to say, if you only had like, I don't know, let's say you have a hundred million people and a hundred thousand are morbidly obese, you're not going to get any special privileges.
	They're going to say, look, we get it, but there's just, you can't do this.
	But now we have so much morbid obesity in this country that you have a fat rights movement and it's significant enough to garner votes and resources.
	And now here we are.
	BuzzFeed News.
	Why would they write a story like this?
	For two reasons.
	It fits the victim narrative.
	Oh, these poor people.
	It's just their bodies.
	It's not their fault.
	How come nobody ever made a tall person's rights?
	My knees don't fit.
	I deserve to sit in the exit row or have that seat removed so that my knees can fit.
	We don't see that.
	Why?
	There's not enough tall people.
	But people can choose to be morbidly obese, so as they gorge themselves and gain massive amounts of weight, they now say, Doesn't that explain so much about what the left is?
	You know, it's funny.
	Obesity, my understanding is it's more prevalent among the left than it is the right, but not by much.
	I mean, I don't know the actual statistics, but people on the right tend to be thinner, fitter, and more attractive.
	The left really gets mad when I point that out, but it's true.
	They then start showing videos of, like, the ugliest right-wingers or hillbillies with no teeth to make their point.
	But it's their own ideology that says this.
	This is what I find funny about the left.
	You know why it is that conservatives tend to be better looking?
	If you're better looking, life is easier.
	And if life is easier, then your attitude is more likely to be, if I can do it, so can anybody else!
	And you'll find yourself more likely to be in the individualist camp.
	That's actually the left's argument about attractiveness privilege.
	But bring it up and point out the left tends to be fat women and short guys, and they get really mad.
	No, we have strong attractive men.
	I get it.
	You want to show the most attractive leftist person you can?
	I don't care.
	I'm not saying every single leftist is ugly and every single conservative is attractive, but the science is there.
	Conservatives tend to be thinner.
	Not all of them.
	Conservatives tend to be better looking.
	Not all of them.
	Just tend to be.
	And there is some reality to this.
	The only thing I gotta say, though, about the morbid obesity stuff is that you've made a choice.
	That's it.
	If you choose to be fat, I ain't got no beef.
	Be as fat as you wanna be.
	Right?
	But you can't then attack other people and demand that you deserve special rights, privileges, and access and resources because of your choice.
	Think about it this way.
	A person gets fat when they eat too much.
	That's it.
	They're eating too much, they're not exercising enough.
	It really is calories in, calories out.
	Now, there is a more nuanced approach to all of this, obviously.
	It's not only just calories, it's also sodium, carbohydrates, fats, and things like that.
	When I removed sugars from my diet, for the most part, replaced it with fats, I dropped like 30 pounds very, very quickly.
	And the crazy thing is, I'm probably eating a bit less because of it.
	So, I'll give you an example.
	I was at a hotel this past weekend, and they had these freezer meals.
	And one of them was macaroni and cheese.
	Ooh, it looked so good, with bacon bits in it!
	800 calories.
	In just this one little, it was like this big, and it was one of those microwave dinners of macaroni and cheese.
	They also had, they had some kind of meat, it was like steak and vegetables, with potatoes.
	Potatoes, carrots, green beans, steak, in a savory sauce.
	The whole package?
	180 calories.
	And that's it right there.
	Sugars isn't so much about, like, sweets and cakes and stuff.
	It's about eating a bowl of pasta and getting a thousand calories when instead you could eat protein and vegetables and get a hundred and seventy.
	That's probably what really made me lose the weight.
	Not the sugar.
	Just that there's less calories in lean meats and vegetables.
	I made the choice.
	Granted, I was never that morbidly obese to where I was offending other airline passengers or anything like that.
	I was like 200 pounds.
	But I made a choice.
	And I said, I'm just gonna start eating better.
	For myself.
	Why should we have to live in a society where certain people who choose to eat too much get free stuff?
	It makes no sense.
	We can't function that way.
	But that's where we are.
	That's where BuzzFeed is.
	And that's where these activists are.
	This woman chooses to be fat.
	And that's fine.
	You can be fat.
	I don't care.
	Live your life how you want to live it.
	But don't expect me to pay your medical bills.
	Don't expect me to deboard... Here's the point.
	In this story, they talk about how Kevin Smith had to leave the plane because he was too fat.
	And they deserve a special seat.
	So what if I'm sitting in, you know, row 7, 7B, and you're in 7C, the window seat, and you're morbidly obese.
	And you say, I deserve an extra seat and that should be free.
	Do I now have to leave my seat?
	And therein lies the problem.
	What if a flight sold out, and you sit down and say, I get two seats.
	What about the person next to you?
	You're saying they have to leave?
	Doesn't this exemplify so much what the left is?
	That they demand special rights and privileges over you?
	It's the same thing with the whole bathroom debate, or the safe spaces.
	Females shouldn't get safe spaces from males, saith the males.
	Why do you get the right to take away from somebody else?
	Prepare.
	Be responsible.
	Anyway, I don't know.
	I don't have too much to say on this.
	Just, I saw the clip and I was like, I definitely want to bring this one up.
	And, uh, and, you know, we also had that story from, uh, Sidney Watson, where she was pressed on both sides by morbidly obese people pushing into her and she was like, not okay.
	Yeah, I certainly think it's not okay.
	I think planes should have a size and weight limit.
	We have a size and weight limit for bags.
	What's the problem?
	Anyway, I'll leave it there.
	Next segment's coming up tonight at 8 p.m.
