| You don't want to miss it. | ||
| Now let's get into the news. | ||
| Bombshell testimony from Michael Cohen's former lawyer saying that he lied in the Trump hush money trial. | ||
| The story as it goes is that Donald Trump allegedly paid Stormy Daniels off to the tune of about $130,000 so that she wouldn't tell everybody they had an affair. | ||
| He was worried it would damage his campaign. | ||
| Well, as we're now learning, according to Michael Cohen's own lawyer, when he was facing legal troubles, Cohen said he had nothing on Trump. | ||
| Trump had nothing to do with the payments to Stormy Daniels. | ||
| Michael Cohen was desperate to get back into the inner circle of Trump, so he took out a home equity loan, paid off Stormy Daniels, hoping to endear himself to Trump because he was worried Melania would be embarrassed. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| He said over and over again, I have nothing on Trump. | ||
| This lawyer, and this is fascinating, this guy Robert Costello testifying under oath saying, Michael, if you have anything on Trump, I will get you out of your legal troubles. | ||
| And Michael says, I don't. | ||
| I don't have anything on him. | ||
| Absolutely remarkable. | ||
| Now, we know that Stormy Daniels' testimony was a lie because Bill Maher pulled up the interview with her where she said, In court, she's saying, And that's according to what Bill Maher said. | ||
| And in addition, he was just going to pay me off. | ||
| In court, she's saying, oh, but he was bigger than me and I was shaking and I blacked out. | ||
| Lies. | ||
| And that's according to what Bill Maher said. | ||
| Now we have sworn testimony from Michael Cohen's former lawyer outright saying Michael Cohen | ||
| is lying. | ||
| Now, I can't say definitively it's proof positive, but I believe this is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. | ||
| A lawyer swearing under oath and testifying to Congress Michael Cohen was trying to get into Trump's inner circle, took out a home equity loan, paid off Stormy Daniels, and then just billed Trump. | ||
| Trump had no idea. | ||
| Talk about smarmy. | ||
| The reason why I think it makes the most sense, and I believe it's evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, is that when you line up all the pieces in the Cohen history, a guy who worked for Trump, who said he was doing all of these things for Trump, a guy who has been described by other people in Trump's inner circle as someone who he thought he was Mr. Fix-It, but only after he broke it, the picture being painted all lines up. | ||
| Michael Cohen was trying to get in Trump's inner circle, was desperately trying to give Trump whatever, chasing after him, sees this opportunity with the Stormy Daniels thing, and thinks to himself, this is it. | ||
| I'm going to be a go-getter. | ||
| I'm going to take care of this for Mr. Trump. | ||
| He's going to hook me up. | ||
| What happens? | ||
| Donald Trump does not choose Cohen for his administration. | ||
| Cohen is furious. | ||
| The feds go after Cohen, desperate to get something on Trump. | ||
| As this lawyer Costello is testifying. | ||
| And then Cohen says, I'll say anything you want me to. | ||
| And so here we are in their desperate attempt to get Trump. | ||
| And I'll stress this, too. | ||
| It's not just about Cohen. | ||
| It's about the fact there's no crime here to begin with. | ||
| So when you add all these pieces together, it really does look like Michael Cohen is lying. | ||
| I would say beyond a reasonable doubt lies because there's no crime anyway. | ||
| Yo, this is an amazing, amazing story. | ||
| Let's switch over here to Town Hall. | ||
| Washington Times, of course, reported Michael Cohen's former lawyer accused him of lying on the stand about payment to Stormy Daniels. | ||
| But there is one special tidbit in the Town Hall article I think is important, and it's their opening line. | ||
| Michael Cohen's former attorney, Robert Costello, testified under oath on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump had nothing to do with hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels, and it was all Cohen's idea. | ||
| Costello, who advised Cohen after he was slapped with federal charges in 2018, detailed to the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government conversations that took place that year. | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| We do have the video. | ||
| I want to play this video here. | ||
| desperately looking for an escape route out of his legal problems. | ||
| Costello made clear he can relay their conversation because Cohen waived the attorney-client privilege. | ||
| Quote, I swear to God I don't have anything on Donald Trump, Cohen told him at the time. | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| We do have the video. | ||
| I want to play this video here. | ||
| It's a couple minutes long so you can hear it straight from Robert Costello himself. | ||
| And let's play. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He didn't believe the allegation of the Stormy Daniels story, that he thought the story would | |
| be embarrassing for Trump and especially for Melania, so he decided he would take care | ||
| of it himself. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And that is contrary to what this guy testified to in court in New York yesterday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, and what's not being talked about is your next paragraph, like the reason and his motivation for that. | |
| So if you could just kind of walk through that for the committee. | ||
| Yeah, obviously, when we started to talk about the NDAs, and this is the very first meeting at the Regency Hotel, when, by the way, Rudy Giuliani was not involved in representing Donald Trump at that time. | ||
| Cohen testified that it was a conspiracy between Giuliani and Costello as of this date. | ||
| Totally false. | ||
| In any event, he also said that he didn't discuss the Stormy Daniels matter with us, and he certainly did. | ||
| I specifically asked him because he kept on going back saying, I can't believe they're trying to put me in jail for these NDAs. | ||
| So I said, Michael, tell me about the NDA. | ||
| Tell me about Stormy Daniels. | ||
| What did you do? | ||
| He said, I got a call from a lawyer representing Stormy Daniels who represented that she was going to testify that Donald Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. | ||
| Michael Cohen said, I didn't believe the allegation, but I knew that such an allegation would be terribly embarrassing. | ||
| He said it would be embarrassing. | ||
| He focused on Melania Trump. | ||
| He said, I didn't want to embarrass Melania Trump. | ||
| He said, that's why I decided to take care of this on my own. | ||
| I went back to that several times. | ||
| You did this on your own? | ||
| on my own. Did Donald Trump have anything to do with it? No. | ||
| Did you get the money from Donald Trump? No. From any of his organizations? No. From anybody | ||
| connected to Donald Trump? No. | ||
| Where did you get the money? I took out a HELOC loan against my property. I said, | ||
| why would you do that? He said, I didn't want anybody to know where I got this money. | ||
| I didn't want Melania to know. | ||
| I didn't want my own wife to know because she's in charge, he said, of the Cohn family finances. | ||
| He said if she saw money coming out of my account, she'd ask me a hundred questions and I didn't want to answer any of them. | ||
| It was clear after talking to him for several days after that, whenever we talked on the phone or in my office, that he kept on bringing up the subject that he felt he was betrayed by So he felt he was betrayed by Donald Trump. | ||
| I don't know what he was going to say, but that is true of Cohen. | ||
| He thought Trump was going to give him a job. | ||
| He thought he was going to be in the administration. | ||
| He wasn't. | ||
| And so now it's Cohen's revenge. | ||
| Or actually, it could be much more simple than that. | ||
| Now it's Cohen saying, I don't care. | ||
| I just don't want to be in trouble anymore. | ||
| And when the government is weaponized by Biden and these other individuals, they go after someone like Cohen. | ||
| He says, I'll tell you whatever you want to hear. | ||
| Just go easy on me. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| This is, I believe, the Costello testimony. | ||
| He says, I advise him that the SDNY thought he had committed crimes that he might have evidence they could use for a prosecution of President Trump. | ||
| I explained to Cohen how he was not the target of the investigation but was a bump in the road and that the U.S. | ||
| Attorney's Office would run over him if it led to Donald Trump. | ||
| I explained that if Cohen had truthful information that would implicate Donald Trump, I could get him out of his legal troubles by the end of the week if he cooperated against Donald Trump. | ||
| I emphasized that any information Cohen could give Would have to be truthful, otherwise it was useless. | ||
| I did this numerous times during our first two-hour meeting. | ||
| Each time Cohen said to me, I swear to God, Bob, I don't have anything on Donald Trump. | ||
| Cohen must have said this at least ten times because I kept coming back to it from different perspectives. | ||
| Cohen said that a lawyer for Stormy Daniels approached him and said Daniels was going to allege that she had sex with Donald Trump unless Trump was willing to buy her asylum with a non-disclosure agreement. | ||
| Cohen decided that while he didn't believe the allegation, he thought the story would be embarrassing for Trump and especially for Melania. | ||
| So he decided he would take care of this himself. | ||
| Throughout this two hour interview, Michael Cohen made clear that this payment to Daniels was his own idea, designed to try and get him back into the inner circle of Trump people in Washington. | ||
| Cohen also said at least 20 times, guys, I want you to know I will do whatever the F I have to do. | ||
| I will never spend one day in jail. | ||
| They go on. | ||
| one. | ||
| Costello emphasized that when Cohen had the opportunity to resolve his own legal issues | ||
| by implicating Trump, he didn't do so because he repeatedly told him he did not have anything | ||
| truthful on him. | ||
| But now that Cohen has gone to jail and lost his law license, he's on a revenge tour, Costello | ||
| claimed. | ||
| The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York saw this and acted properly. | ||
| The Manhattan District Attorney took a different route to become famous and to get Trump. | ||
| Michael Cohen is simply not a credible man. | ||
| I believe it. | ||
| I believe that Cohen is just trying to. | ||
| I believe all of it. | ||
| Cohen was trying to endear himself. | ||
| Now that it's not worked, he's saying, OK, whatever you want. | ||
| Joe Biden's selling t-shirts free on Wednesday. | ||
| There's no real criminal case here. | ||
| You want to know what I believe? | ||
| We got a funny super chat last night on TimCast IRL where someone said, you know, ever since meeting Trump, Tim, you sound like you're in love with the guy. | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| I met Trump. | ||
| He's a funny guy. | ||
| He complimented my face. | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| Trump has got his own problems. | ||
| He's a flawed individual, but he is the best president of my lifetime. | ||
| And that's just a fact statement. | ||
| I mean, In terms of the economy, the wars, you can criticize him for the bad things he's done, and that's fine, but I believe it is a fact to say that across the board, in terms of the things he was working on doing, the things that he had accomplished, it was better than Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush again. | ||
| That's my lifetime, right? | ||
| So, not that Trump's a perfect guy or anything like that, but I certainly believe this because, man, I gotta tell you what, I have seen how people act around Donald Trump. | ||
| Seeing him on stage at these rallies, seeing him at Mar-a-Lago, people rush to him, stand around him, desperate for his approval. | ||
| They really do. | ||
| I don't know if it's that people think that Trump has the golden key and he can unlock your life and boost you into the air, and he could. | ||
| A lot of people do that, people with influence and power. | ||
| I imagine if Donald Trump came out, went on Truth Social and said, Michael Cohen is the best guy, he's fantastic, good lawyer, Hey, it's Kimberly Fletcher here from Moms 4 America with some very exciting news. | ||

| This guy would be getting phone calls. | ||
| His phone would be ringing off the hook. | ||
| He'd be making money like crazy. | ||
| Of course, that's not going to happen. | ||
| But that's what Cohen hoped was going to happen. | ||
| Now it would appear it's a revenge tour. | ||
| And not so much a revenge to her, but perhaps desperation that he's got nothing. | ||
| That he's going to go to jail. | ||
| That he's been to jail. | ||
| That he's been destroyed. | ||
| And this is his only path forward. | ||
| forward. | ||
| And Cohen's like, I can't, I don't have anything. | ||
| Apparently Costello was saying something like, if you have anything, it's got to be truthful. | ||
| He says, I emphasize that any information Cohen could give would have to be truthful, otherwise it was useless. | ||
| And Cohen's like, I got nothing. | ||
| And yet here we are today. | ||
| Hypothetical. | ||
| Maybe back then, This is back in, I believe, 2018. | ||
| Let me see if we have this. | ||
| I believe it was, he represented him from April to July of 2018. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Maybe the story is this. | ||
| Cohen, hoping that Trump would give him a pardon and protect him, refused to say anything bad about the guy. | ||
| It's a possibility. | ||
| I'm not gonna, you know, I think it's silly to ignore these other potentials, but I think it's silly Looking at who Cohen is and looking at what he's doing now? | ||
| Yeah, no, sorry, I don't buy it. | ||
| Cohen comes off as a guy who is trying to protect himself and is this bad fart that follows Trump around, hoping that Trump will give him breadcrumbs. | ||
| Or how about he's a pigeon walking around and hoping that Trump's going to throw breadcrumbs at him or something. | ||
| That's what Cohen comes off as. | ||
| Not as a guy who is trying to be loyal and protect Donald Trump. | ||
| You take a look at his actions now? | ||
| Nah, I don't believe it. | ||
| I think what we're seeing right now with Costello basically saying, throw him under the bus. | ||
| Cohen refusing to do it? | ||
| That's exactly who Cohen is. | ||
| Now here's the crazy, crazy part of this whole story. | ||
| NBC News reports Michael Cohen's testimony likely caps the prosecution's case in the Trump hush money trial. | ||
| Prosecutors have said Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, is their final witness. | ||
| It's unclear whether Trump will testify in his own defense. | ||
| That's it? | ||
| That's it? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| You know, a couple weeks ago, as we're looking at this Trump trial, and we know there's no crime here. | ||
| I mean, look, guys, it's wild. | ||
| I think Trump is the right choice for president. | ||
| I don't think that's bias. | ||
| I will. | ||
| I mean, to a certain degree, perhaps, but you take a look at where independents stand on Donald Trump, you take a look at the economy, and it's just an issue of you don't have to like the guy. | ||
| Trump is not a perfect guy. | ||
| He's funny. | ||
| People love the guy and people hate the guy, but he's the right choice. | ||
| It's not about... I think if you look at the facts between Biden, RFK Jr., and Trump, a reasonable person says, fact-wise, Track record, all of these things, Trump is the right guy for the job. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's not about whether you like him or don't like him, or like or don't like Biden. | ||
| Under Biden right now, we've got inflation. | ||
| Bidenomics is not working for a lot of people. | ||
| Under Donald Trump, short of the COVID response, which was mostly state-led, and Trump does deserve a lot of criticism that happened during that, he still, he had a great presidency. | ||
| And he was tied down. | ||
| I thought a couple weeks ago that they were going to wait for the last minute, there was a possibility at least, that they would release some evidence somehow tying Trump to this case. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's it? | ||
| There's nothing? | ||
| I'm not surprised. | ||
| I'm not surprised. | ||
| There's absolutely nothing. | ||
| It's kind of crazy to think that we made it this far and they presented nothing. | ||
| Michael Cohen took out a home equity loan to pay off Stormy Daniels. | ||
| Now, why would he do that? | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| He said that, uh, well, would he testify something like Trump didn't like paper trails and this way nobody would know where the money came from? | ||
| That makes no sense at all! | ||
| Cohen could have taken the money out of his bank account, paid off Stormy Daniels, and then got reimbursed by Trump. | ||
| Does Cohen not have a bank account for his law firm? | ||
| None of this makes sense. | ||
| Tim Katz is a business, and we have other corporations like Casper, for instance. | ||
| They have their own bank accounts. | ||
| So if Castbrew Coffee, our coffee company, had to buy, uh, let's say someone came to us and said, look, you're going to have to pay a settlement or something. | ||
| We'd be like, okay. | ||
| And we would take the money out of the account. | ||
| Why would I do something weird? | ||
| Like don't want anyone to find out, but I take out a home equity loan personally against myself. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| So I don't want my wife to ask questions. | ||
| About what? | ||
| Hey, I got it. | ||
| I'm, I'm, I'm taking out money for a legal thing. | ||
| Um, we're going to get reimbursed. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| His wife comes in. | ||
| Honey, what are these withdrawals from the bank? | ||
| This is a lot of money. | ||
| Yeah, we've got a legal settlement, but it'll be reimbursed. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I'm confused. | ||
| Genuinely confused. | ||
| Like, none of this makes sense. | ||
| Unless, unless Costello was telling the truth. | ||
| Michael Cohen didn't want anyone to know what he was doing. | ||
| He was hoping that by saying, hey, I took care of this, you guys. | ||
| Look, let me clarify. | ||
| He didn't want, he wanted to do it on his own. | ||
| He didn't want his wife to know that he was taking a risk on a large sum of money, hoping to endear himself to Trump. | ||
| Because I'll tell you the truth, he goes to his wife and says, I need money because I want to pay off this woman accusing Trump of doing something, you know, inappropriate. | ||
| And then she's going to say, no, talk to Trump about it. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| And Cohen's going to be like, yeah, but like, if I do this, Trump's going to like me. | ||
| He's going to be like, you, you're a, you're a Mr. Fig, you took care of it for me. | ||
| And she'd say no. | ||
| Imagine Trump went to Cohen and said, look, just take care of it, we'll pay you back, whatever. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He'd be like, hey, I'm going to be paying a settlement. | ||
| I mean, look at this. | ||
| He's testifying everything. | ||
| He's telling literally everyone everything. | ||
| There's no secrecy requirement. | ||
| The only reason he would need to keep things a secret is because he doesn't want his wife to know he was risking money to try and please Donald Trump. | ||
| That's the only thing that makes sense, in my opinion. | ||
| He goes, honey, I'm desperate for Trump to like me. | ||
| And she's going to be like, what? | ||
| You're not spending our money to make Trump like you. | ||
| Let him deal with it. | ||
| If Trump was like, I need this taken care of, he could have gone to his wife and there's less of a paper trail in just taking money out of your bank account. | ||
| Getting a home equity loan is nuts. | ||
| He could have been like, Trump's, uh, I've got some, I gotta take care of something for Trump. | ||
| I mean, this is really, really wild. | ||
| Trump's, he could have just said this, Trump's asking me to take care of something. | ||
| Um, it's a, we got, we got some legal expenses, but we'll get reimbursed. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| And then if it's true that he got reimbursed, this is the other thing. | ||
| If it was true that he got reimbursed, then the money would have gone right back in. | ||
| Unless Trump did not reimburse him. | ||
| What Michael Cohen did was just sent in an invoice, hoping they wouldn't say anything. | ||
| Let me tell you about the reality of the corporate world, my friends. | ||
| I worked at a large company, and I'm going to keep things very vague, because, you know, you get into litigation territory here. | ||
| We worked with a guy. | ||
| He was a contractor. | ||
| He sent in an invoice. | ||
| I said, hey, we really want to work with this guy. | ||
| He's fantastic. | ||
| We'll do three months. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| He worked with me for a few months. | ||
| We got along great. | ||
| He's a good dude. | ||
| And then that's it. | ||
| Three months went by and I was like, thanks for working. | ||
| I'll see you next time. | ||
| A year later, I got asked by corporate, how is the project with this guy going? | ||
| And I was like, we wrapped that up nine months ago. | ||
| And they were like, what do you mean you wrapped it up nine months ago? | ||
| And I was like, yeah, we haven't worked on anything and why? | ||
| And they're like, he's still invoicing us. | ||
| And I was just like, and you're paying it? | ||
| That's the corporate world. | ||
| It is fairly common when dealing with large corporations, vendors, contractors will try to push through an invoice and go, whoopsie! | ||
| Because big corporations don't notice and typically, sometimes I should say, will pay them out. | ||
| So here's what I see. | ||
| Cohen didn't want Trump to know what he did. | ||
| He didn't want his wife to know the risk he was taking. | ||
| He knew if he went to Trump and said, pay her off and I'll deal with it, Trump would have said, no. | ||
| I'm not giving that woman money. | ||
| Here's the crazy thing. | ||
| Trump strikes me as the kind of guy who would be like, she's not getting a penny from me for her lies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not the kind of guy who's going to be like, give her whatever she wants, I just want her to go away. | |
| I think it makes sense that Cohen was like, I'll make it go away. | ||
| And now what he does is he takes out a home equity loan. | ||
| He pays her off. | ||
| And then he just sends in a bland invoice to the Trump administration saying, like, here's your legal bills for the month. | ||
| Let me tell you, lawyers, I get an invoice from a lawyer. | ||
| It's just got hours listed. | ||
| I don't know the nitty gritty of everything they're doing. | ||
| It's just the hours list. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| It's pretty wild that we're actually at this point. | ||
| Now, of course, don't forget, Bill Maher already proved Stormy Daniels was a liar. | ||
| He played this interview with her where she's basically contradicting everything she's saying. | ||
| But here's the point of what they're doing. | ||
| This is from just a couple days ago, Yahoo News. | ||
| YouGov poll. | ||
| With Trump's trial underway, most Americans now believe he falsified records to hide hush money payment. | ||
| If the jury agrees, Trump could become the first former U.S. | ||
| president convicted of a felony. | ||
| It's not a question of if the jury agrees. | ||
| It's a question of whether the jury is terrified or not. | ||
| They've proven nothing. | ||
| There's no crime. | ||
| What are they going to ask the jury to find evidence in regards to? | ||
| Did Trump commit a crime that's beyond the statute of limitations, that's supposed to be a misdemeanor, but based on federal charges we don't have the jurisdiction to pursue, he committed a crime? | ||

| Harrison Butker gave a commencement speech to a Catholic university, saying that most of the women there, he believes, probably want to be moms and have kids. | ||
| Shocker! | ||
| He's preaching to the choir, and I gotta be honest, he may literally be preaching to a choir, or at least former members of a choir. | ||
| But we got the story from the Daily Beast. | ||
| 100,000 people signed petition demanding Chiefs fire kicker over, quote, dehumanizing commencement speech. | ||
| Which means, as most of you can probably surmise, the speech was based! | ||
| I'm not a Catholic. | ||
| I grew up Catholic. | ||
| I'm not a Christian. | ||
| I do believe in God. | ||
| And I really do want to talk to you about family, tradition, masculinity, femininity, my views on all of these things. | ||
| And I think what Harrison Butker was saying, for the most part, I didn't watch his whole speech. | ||
| I've seen, probably like, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know how long it was, but I've watched several minutes. | ||
| We've talked about it quite a bit. | ||
| And the idea of women at a Catholic university wanting to be moms, uh, not controversial. | ||
| Uh, imagine if you went to a, I don't know, like a Pokemon card convention and said, many of you here may be told that you're going to make a lot of money off your Pokemon cards, but I know I'd venture that many of you are just here to be excited about playing the game. | ||
| Would that be offensive to anyone? | ||
| Dude. | ||
| If a bunch of men and women are at a Catholic university and the dude's telling Catholic women they probably want to be moms, they probably do! | ||
| And that's fine. | ||
| What we see here, with the attempts to fire the guy, with the back, quote-unquote, backlash, is that they won't even let you be safe in your own space. | ||
| They say, why aren't we allowed in your space? | ||
| And you say, okay, fine, come on down. | ||
| And then as soon as they do, they're like, now ban everything that you guys want. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| If Catholics want to have a Catholic school with Catholic people talking about Catholic stuff, I got no beef. | ||
| Muslims want to do Muslim school with Muslim people talking about Muslim stuff, I got no beef. | ||
| But the woke left clearly does. | ||
| And I think when you look at the big picture of what the woke left is very much about, it is they hate Christianity. | ||
| Now, as I already stated, to all of my good Christian friends, of which there are many who watch this show, I am not a Christian. | ||
| Many people have commented saying that they hope I see the light in all of these things, but I tell you, my friends, I appreciate and respect it. | ||
| I give a shout-out to Bill Maher in this regard, who is a staunch atheist. | ||
| That's right, Bill Maher. | ||
| Because he made this comment in the past when he said, when Christians pray for me, I'm not offended by it. | ||
| I'm touched. | ||
| I'm deeply warmed. | ||
| They genuinely believe that they are doing something. | ||
| They are taking actions to try and help me. | ||
| I don't believe the same things they do, but you have to recognize the effort they're taking because they want to help you. | ||
| It's respectable. | ||
| I think that there's a logic in the teachings of the Bible that are valuable, that we've seen through the Founding Fathers, and I look at the value of the system in place, and I take a logical approach to what Christianity has meant to this country—its formation, its founding, the Bill of Rights, etc. | ||
| And my view is not faith-based, it's logic-based. | ||
| And so people ask, you know, Tim, you defend Christians a lot, you defend Christianity, you defend church, but you're not Christian. | ||
| They say you're grifting. | ||
| I can talk to you for 12 hours about philosophy, moral philosophy, my views on spirituality, God, afterlife, DMT, whatever you want to talk about. | ||
| And I can tell you simply, research the Constitution, the Founding Fathers' views, their views on God and religion. | ||
| Look how they came to develop the greatest nation in the world, in the history of this planet, and how Christian moral teachings guided their view. | ||
| And then you can say, whether you're Christian or not, there is a logic to their approach, which is beneficial, and there is a logic in understanding the benefit of community and church gatherings and some of these basic teachings. | ||
| Now, instead of me ranting on religion and faith, let me read you the news, show you what Harrison said, how people are reacting, and then let's talk. | ||
| Let's talk about faith and logic. | ||
| Change.org says, a Change.org petition is calling on the Chiefs to dismiss kicker Harrison Butker for making several dehumanizing remarks during his commencement speech at Benedictine College on May 11th. | ||
| Here's what the three-time Super Bowl champion said about women, Pride Month, COVID, abortion, and more. | ||
| Three-time Super Bowl champion! | ||
| Get rid of your kids? | ||
| What? | ||
| Why would they do that? | ||
| They're champs! | ||
| Alright, alright. | ||
| Warning. | ||
| Warning. | ||
| Hate speech. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And I say this for YouTube, you know? | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Here's two minutes. | ||
| I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. | ||
| How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? | ||
| Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. | ||
| I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabel, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. | ||
| By making it to this moment through all the adversity thrown your way from COVID, I hope you learned the important lessons that suffering in this life is only temporary. | ||
| As a group, you witnessed firsthand how bad leaders who don't stay in their lane can have a negative impact on society. | ||
| While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique. | ||
| Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. | ||
| Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values in media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder. | ||
| Our own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally. | ||
| He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I'm sure to many people, it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice. | ||
| The world around us says that we should keep our beliefs to ourselves whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion. | ||
| We fear speaking truth, because now, unfortunately, truth is in the minority. | ||
| Congress just passed a bill restating something as basic as the biblical teaching of who killed Jesus could land you in jail. | ||
| I'll pause right there. | ||
| I don't believe that's correct. | ||
| The anti-Semitism bill would be a civil infraction for the 1964 Civil Rights Act Title VI for discrimination. | ||
| Most of you know this, just to clarify for those who don't. | ||
| What the bill says is that they use the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which is the Holocaust Remembrance Museum, I think is their name. | ||
| I could be getting it wrong. | ||
| One of the examples they give as to what antisemitism is, it literally says, i.e., Jews killed Jesus. | ||
| The Bible says this. | ||
| I'm not saying it's true. | ||
| I am not a Christian. | ||
| The Bible literally says, in several different instances, in fact, in one passage in the Bible, it is Pontius who says, I will not have the blood of this man on my hands, meaning he did not want to execute Jesus Christ, and it was the Jewish faith leader who said, the blood will be on us and our children. | ||
| That's in the Bible. | ||
| Whether you believe it or not, whether you like it or don't, I am not asserting it as a fact or anything. | ||
| I'm telling you the fact that it is in the Bible. | ||
| I don't think you'll go to jail. | ||
| The issue is that if you express those issues, if you express that passage from the Bible, in combination, in concert with a discriminatory act against someone who is Jewish, then the idea is that will be used to prove it was a hate incident. | ||
| Which is typically a fine. | ||
| That being said, there is some truth to what he's saying in that they could argue it's a hate crime if you got into a fight with a guy while yelling the passage from the Bible. | ||
| So he's not 100% wrong. | ||
| I just want to make sure that clarification was in there. | ||
| The reporters at the AP could not have imagined that their attempt to rebuke and embarrass places and people like those here at Benedictine wouldn't be met with anger, but instead met with excitement and pride. | ||
| Not the deadly sin sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated to it, but the true God-centered pride that has... Do you hear that clamoring? | ||
| ...operating with the Holy Ghost to glorify Him. | ||
| I gotta play that last 12 seconds, because you can hear the clamoring in the audience. | ||
| ...and pride. | ||
| Not the deadly sin sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated to it, but the true God-centered pride that is cooperating with the Holy Ghost to glorify Him. | ||
| Um, wow. | ||
| I will say that. | ||
| NBC News says Chiefs Harrison Butker blasted for commencement speech encouraging women to be homemakers. | ||
| And? | ||
| Okay, look. | ||
| I pulled up Benedictine College Wikipedia for you guys to understand. | ||
| This is not controversial for the people he's speaking to. | ||
| If you don't like his opinion, it's meaningless. | ||
| His opinion exists everywhere. | ||
| I want to give a shout out to Harrison Butker for standing on his beliefs. | ||
| Standing up for what he believes in, in the face of people who would try and take his job for him for saying the things he believes. | ||
| It's a private liberal liberal arts college in Atchison, around Kansas. | ||
| Established in 1971. | ||
| The merger of St. | ||
| Benedict's College for Men and Mount Scholastica College, blah blah blah. | ||
| They've got the sponsored by St. | ||
| Benedict's Abbey. | ||
| Benedictine College celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2008, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| They go on to mention faith life. | ||
| They say Mass is offered to students three times daily in several places, including St. | ||
| Benedict's Abbey and its Abbey Church, St. | ||
| Benedict's Church, a parish connected to one of its campus dorms, and Guadalupe Chapel, the fellowship of Catholic University students focused. | ||
| A Catholic College of Leadership apostolate, if I'm pronouncing it right, was founded at Benedictine College. | ||
| You get the point! | ||
| Look, I'll tell you what I see with this. | ||
| A guy goes to a faith college and tells women at a college that probably agree with everything he says, that they probably want to have families, and they probably do, and they're trying to take his job from him, claiming that he's anti-semitic, that he's racist and transphobic and all of these things. | ||
| People are allowed to have beliefs. | ||
| You go believe your thing, he'll believe his thing. | ||
| How are you going to come into his space and say he should be fired for having an opinion at a Catholic university? | ||
| Do you not realize that this is the opinion of Catholics? | ||
| So I actually agree with... | ||
| Harrison calling out Joe Biden. | ||
| Joe Biden's a fake Catholic. | ||
| I am not a Catholic. | ||
| So I grew up Catholic until I was probably around, I think like 12 years old, when we transferred out of private Catholic school. | ||
| So I was never confirmed, but I did go through communion, and then my family, for the most part, left the church. | ||
| I do believe my parents are both still Christian. | ||
| I don't know if my dad for sure. | ||
| My mom is. | ||
| I don't know if they're following the Catholic Church, but they are Christian. | ||
| I believe my dad might be. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I know my mom is. | ||
| And me, I guess I've been described by some friends—shout out to Josie, the red-headed libertarian—as deist, probably. | ||
| Many Founding Fathers, apparently, how you would describe them, though I do think it's fair to say that the Founding Fathers were just predominantly Christian, and, uh, you know, for whatever reason, um, there's that distinction, I don't know. | ||
| I wonder if the Deist thing was actually just propaganda, to be completely honest, where they're like, they didn't actually, they believe in God because they write about it. | ||
| But let me read a little bit more for you. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| This is from KCTV. | ||
| Kansas City tweets, deletes, dig at Chiefs kicker. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Whoever ran the Kansas City, at Kansas City, account said, I'm not going to say where, but they were like, just so you know, Harris Butker lives in this place. | ||
| Like, mini-doxing. | ||
| They didn't say his address or anything. | ||
| They said, here's the town where he lives. | ||
| Now, I'll say a few things. | ||
| Me, I'm a fairly liberal guy. | ||
| And I mean that in the truest sense of the philosophy and moral foundings of classical and traditional liberalism. | ||
| I probably do fall into a bit of the post-liberal ideology. | ||
| Post-liberal is, in many ways, kind of anti-liberal. | ||
| But, um, I don't know how to describe myself other than, you know, I can explain some things to you, and hopefully, you know, it's meaningful, I guess. | ||
| Let's start here. | ||
| To all of the woke leftists who hate Christianity, yeah, they're trying to up-end social order. | ||
| They don't care for Islam, and what I mean by that is they're not complaining about it, they're supporting it. | ||
| There's no criticisms of the conservative foundations of Islam. | ||
| You know, there's—Queers for Palestine is an actual branding for activists on the left defending Palestine, despite the fact that in Gaza, it's a 10-year prison sentence, and in many of these countries in the Middle East, it's a death sentence for being LGBTQIA2A+, or whatever the acronym is. | ||
| I mean, you fall on any line. | ||
| In Iran, I think they give you forced sex changes if you're gay or lesbian. | ||
| Like, not even trans. | ||
| Forced. | ||
| They say, no, there's no such thing. | ||
| You have to be, you have to get a sex change then, which is kind of wild. | ||
| So we understand those contradictions. | ||
| This shows to me, and I think anybody paying attention, the criticisms of the left is nothing about the ideas presented by Harrison Butker. | ||
| Because if you go to any mosque, you will hear almost the same thing. | ||
| Almost. | ||
| They're different religions. | ||
| But there's a lot of conservative values that overlap between the two, as they are Abrahamic religions. | ||
| The left doesn't complain and demand the firing of these Muslims. | ||
| I mean, that would be woke blasphemy. | ||
| That would be attacking a marginalized group despite the fact that there's like 2 billion or 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. | ||
| Let me tell you about logic. | ||
| There are people who say, you know, Tim pretends to—he says he supports Christians, but he's not even a Christian because he's grifting to Christians. | ||
| I don't need to grift to Christians, dude. | ||
| I have no problem saying outright that I do not believe the Bible is the Word of God. | ||
| I just don't. | ||
| I have no issue with anybody who does. | ||
| I have no issue with anybody who believes Muhammad is the prophet, peace be upon him. | ||
| I take issue with certain ideas within certain religions that I believe should be heavily criticized. | ||
| I don't care if someone believes that Christianity is incorrect, Judaism is true, and that's their religion. | ||
| I don't care if you're a Buddhist. | ||
| I don't care if you follow Hellenistic, like, what is it called, like, Odinism or something? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You think Thor exists? | ||
| Like, really? | ||
| The world, we know so little. | ||
| We are not the smartest people here, nor am I. And so we can only just say, there are things I don't know that you do. | ||
| You, dear viewer. | ||
| Many people have said that they've spoken with God. | ||
| And perhaps if I ever had that kind of experience, I might have more faith in the Bible and things like that. | ||
| What I can tell you is, I can really simplify one of my favorite stories ever. | ||
| How we came to have the rights we do, which created the greatest nation on this planet, eventually did open up the door for catastrophe in the loving Christian tolerance, which allows bad actors to find their way in. | ||
| But I give you this, my friends, some moral philosophy. | ||
| I was wondering why it was. | ||
| I was reading an article about—an essay, I suppose you can say—the differences in totalitarianism, authoritarianism—effectively the same thing—and liberalism, and freedom, and libertarianism. | ||
| And there's an interesting passage where they said, the liberty-minded individual tends to fall into the, it is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer. | ||
| In the inverse, the authoritarian mind tends to view an opposite, the opposite. | ||
| It is better that ten innocent people suffer than one guilty person escape. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| I find that absolutely fascinating. | ||
| The authoritarian system, the suppression, the oppression, the pain, the suffering, the fear. | ||
| We've seen this with regime after regime, and they crumble. | ||
| I mean, you have the United States. | ||
| And we've stood for several hundred years, though we have our problems. | ||
| Maybe we will easily overcome them. | ||
| Clearly we're the greatest nation that has ever existed. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| Great does not mean positive. | ||
| We're the greatest. | ||
| With the military bases, the empire, everything the United States has done, it is like the most powerful that has ever existed. | ||
| I think the U.S. | ||
| effectively has global domination. | ||
| It's imperfect though. | ||
| It's not the solidified one world control. | ||
| And for better or for worse. | ||
| Now I think the values in this country that we have are fantastic. | ||
| I bring you. | ||
| Many of you know this. | ||
| Many of you would probably appreciate hearing it again, and some of you may not. | ||
| For those that have heard this, people say, oh, Tim, you're repeating yourself, but please understand that the average person does not watch every single video I do, and though I may bring this story up three times a year, for those that watch every video, you've heard it. | ||
| For many, you've not. | ||
| I was wondering why it was that Benjamin Franklin took Blackstone's formulation to an extreme. | ||
| Blackstone's formulation is, of course, it is better that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer. | ||
| Benjamin Franklin said it is better that 100 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer. | ||
| And I said, that's pretty amazing that you would let 100 murderers go free if it meant protecting the one innocent person accused of murder. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Well, the Founding Fathers were right. | ||
| There is a logic to the formulation that the judge, Blackstone, out of the UK, with his formulation, there's a logic to it. | ||
| The reason why we would allow the guilty to go free to protect the innocent, quite simple. | ||
| In a society, if the individual feels that even if they are innocent, they may be punished as though they're a murderer, there is no incentive to be good. | ||
| In fact, there is an incentive to defy, to lie, to cheat, to steal, to protect yourself. | ||
| Because in your mind you're thinking, I'm innocent and they're going to lock me up anyway. | ||
| My neighbor didn't do anything wrong and they said it's better the innocent get punished than the guilty go free. | ||
| So what's the point of being innocent if they're going to punish me anyway? | ||
| The idea was, if you tell people even if you're innocent you get punished, the incentive then becomes, then don't be innocent if you're paying the price anyway. | ||
| You can break it down with a silly analogy like, everyone has to pay for a TV, you can take one if you want. | ||
| Well, then why wouldn't you take the TV? | ||
| If innocent people are going to be made to pay for crimes they didn't commit, then just commit the crimes, I guess! | ||
| Not that every person would, but that it would create perverse incentive. | ||
| You are basically telling people, hey, if you're going to go to jail for it, why not get the free money anyway? | ||
| Well, Benjamin Franklin said, in a society that insures of its citizens, That we will do everything in our power to protect you if you are innocent, then there is every incentive to be innocent. | ||
| Do not commit the crime and know that your society will do everything in its power to make sure that if you're accused, the benefit is to you. | ||
| The burden will be on the accusers on the state, not on you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's fascinating. | |
| Where did Blackstone come up with this idea? | ||
| He didn't. | ||
| I mean, he has the famous quote, but the story is rooted in the Bible. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And the Torah, if you are Jewish. | ||
| I believe it's in the Old Testament. | ||
| And this is, for those that are Christian, you know, Torah, Old Testament, New Testament, Sodom and Gomorrah. | ||
| And it was, I don't know, I am not a biblical scholar or anything, and I've had this discussion with like, you know, Dennis Prager, if there is but one righteous man. | ||
| It's the famous story of Sodom and Gomorrah where the angels come down and there's, I think it's Lot, And there's Abraham, and I could be totally getting this wrong, I think Lot is the good, righteous man who lives in these horrible cities, and I think God may have been speaking to Abraham, but forgive me if I'm getting it wrong, and says, I'm going to destroy these degenerate, disgusting, sinful cities. | ||
| And God says, but what if there are forty righteous people who live there? | ||
| And God responds, if there are forty righteous people, I will not destroy the city. | ||
| Well, what if there are thirty? | ||
| What if there are five? | ||
| What if there are ten? | ||
| What if there is one? | ||
| If there is but one righteous man in these cities, I will not destroy them. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| They got the good people out of the cities, and then God blew them up. | ||
| I don't know if he blew them up, but, you know, they were destroyed. | ||
| The idea in the Bible, whether you believe it's true or not, it's not relevant to the logic that creates a great nation. | ||
| The teaching is, do not engage in collective punishment, for you will take innocent people with you. | ||
| And then the Founding Fathers, Blackstone, Benjamin Franklin, many others, think about this. | ||
| Why is that teaching there? | ||
| Why can't we punish a million people? | ||
| Not that there were that many in Sodom and Gomorrah, but let's say 10,000. | ||
| Why can't we punish the 10,000 evil people just because one person's there? | ||
| It's actually quite simple. | ||
| Because if you tell people, even if you are innocent, we will rush you away because it's utilitarianism, to be honest. | ||
| Then you will have no good people. | ||
| They'll just say, well, if you're going to destroy me anyway, I might as well enjoy myself. | ||
| It's not that every person would, because good people still would not. | ||
| It's that you create the pressure for people to drift in that direction and become lost. | ||
| That's just one example. | ||
| Free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press, the Bill of Rights, many of the structures of government are deeply rooted in biblical teaching and the story of Christ. | ||
| You take a look at the story of Christ in its simplest form. | ||
| For those that have faith or for those who don't, it's the story of Jesus and the religious leaders calling him a blasphemer and wanting him put to death. | ||
| But this is the teaching that everyone is welcome in the eyes of God through asking for forgiveness and being welcomed in, and God loves you, and all these things. | ||
| And how do the Founding Fathers take those teachings? | ||
| We are all created equal in the eyes of God, though flawed, because slavery. | ||
| Don't get me wrong. | ||
| And the idea was that we are imbued with inalienable rights from our Creator that a king cannot just take from us. | ||
| No man has the right. | ||
| It's the foundation for this country, for better or for worse. | ||
| I say for better, because throughout this country we have learned, we have improved. | ||
| Amazing people like Frederick Douglass, challenging the American people to live up to the ideals of their own founding fathers, and boy were they pissed. | ||
| The slave owners. | ||
| Civil War was fought for a mixed bag of reasons, don't get me wrong, it's not just slavery, though slavery was the principal catalyst, that's fair. | ||
| This country fought and struggled through these things and improved dramatically. | ||
| Unfortunately, I got to the point where we're too tolerant. | ||
| We are. | ||
| We're absolutely too tolerant to serious degeneracy. | ||
| And that's where I'll throw it back to Harrison Butker and what I agree with. | ||
| Perhaps because I grew up Catholic and though I... what do you call it? | ||
| Elapsed Catholic or something? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Though I don't follow the faith, I would not lie to you. | ||
| I would not falsely claim that I believe something I don't believe. | ||
| I don't believe the Bible is the Word of God. | ||
| I would say mostly I don't know. | ||
| I'm open to all possibilities of many things. | ||
| But I do believe that the book contains within it basic teachings and logic which interpreted, I believe correctly, and had been by the Founding Fathers, you create a great way of living. | ||
| And I wonder if that If that in and of itself proves its value, let's take a look at some of, like, I don't know, Leviticus, where the left says, well, you can't eat shellfish, and you can't wear mixed fabrics and things, and it's like, I'm actually very impressed with how many Christians have adapted | ||
| You can't eat pork. | ||
| Okay, well, we're going back in time. | ||
| We're talking about filthy animals which have high rates of diseases. | ||
| So they have these teachings saying, don't eat it. | ||
| Shellfish, same thing. | ||
| There's bacteria and parasites. | ||
| And so, not to get into the nitty-gritty of every single law of Leviticus, but there were things in there that were basically, hey, don't do these things. | ||
| And you ask why? | ||
| There's actually logic to a lot of it. | ||
| I don't know about mixed fabrics and shaving and things like this, but there was a reason that allowed people to survive better in many of these teachings. | ||
| I'm not saying it's all perfect or all logical. | ||
| I'm saying that humans, seeing through it, adapted in the best way possible. | ||
| We come to today where many of these teachings are mostly not followed. | ||
| Some who are very devout would criticize those who don't do it. | ||
| Shout out to Seamus Coghlan, who is a very honorable individual. | ||
| He doesn't eat meat on Fridays, he follows these teachings, and I tremendously respect it. | ||
| I think that there are many things in it that perhaps don't apply to today based on technology and the changes in society, and there's an adaptation. | ||
| But the important teachings that have shaped this nation are undeniable. | ||
| That's the logic of respecting it. | ||
| Now let's zoom out and go macro. | ||
| This country is falling apart for a variety of reasons. | ||
| And one of the biggest reasons, I think, is a loss of community. | ||
| The reason why I tell people often, like with dating and with not knowing your neighbors or finding jobs or building community, this is because of losing church. | ||
| I'm not saying that I personally believe you have to go and profess your faith and be devout and go to church. | ||
| If that's what you believe, I respect it. | ||
| The people who follow their values and stand up and have honor and integrity, it's tremendous. | ||
| I am saying that there is a logic, obvious to anyone with eyes, that if you and your family once a week gather with your neighbors In a shared moral framework, your society will be strong. | ||
| Whatever that may be. | ||
| If everyone in this country was as devout as Seamus Coghlan, you would not need police. | ||
| You would need no standing armies. | ||
| You'd probably just need arbitration. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| And the reason why I say that is, I know and trust Seamus. | ||
| I use him as my example because he's one of the most devout Catholics that I know. | ||
| But he follows these teachings and they matter to him beyond him as a person. | ||
| And if everybody behaved in the same way, then you wouldn't need to fear crime. | ||
| And that's the reality of it. | ||
| And then there are a lot of people who are criminals. | ||
| There are a lot of people who want to engage in reckless behavior. | ||
| They don't want to be judged or criticized. | ||
| They want to be allowed to do whatever they want, and that's what they take issue with. | ||
| Ultimately, why are they coming after the Kansas City Chiefs kicker? | ||
| Because he is pushing back on their revolution. | ||
| They hate Christianity. | ||
| They hate what it represents and who is behind it. | ||
| They want to burn the system to the ground, and the idea of gathering with their community, sharing a moral framework, is the biggest obstacle to destroying the fabric of this country and its underpinnings. | ||
| So I leave you with that, my friends. | ||
| I respect Harrison Butker for speaking up the way he did because, as they say, what is it, in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. | ||
| And while I don't 100% agree, you know, I provide some clarification on the anti-Semitism bill, I certainly think we need more people who believe in family and community to be speaking up and telling the woke cult to bug off. | ||
| So, there you go. | ||
| Next segment's coming up at 4 p.m. | ||
| on this channel. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then. | ||
| The most votes ever received by a presidential candidate to a man who cannot sell a book and now has up to $815,000 of debt. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Now, look, my friends. | ||
| I'm gonna start off by saying something bold. | ||
| I think Donald Trump won the argument—the election—in 2020. | ||
| I'm going to pause so that Media Matters can write up fake news and lies about what I actually believe. | ||
| What I mean to say is that Donald Trump made an argument—I'm the better president—and people believed him, and that was correct. | ||
| But Joe Biden won the election in the technical sense by collecting more votes, as that is all that matters. | ||
| Democrats with strategy and ballot harvesting in the basement strategy were able to get Biden over that mark. | ||
| Universal mail-in voting, baby. | ||
| What I mean to say, and to clarify for context, now that Media Matters and other outlets have already taken me out of context, my point is that if you put Trump against Biden and said, what's your pitch? | ||
| What's your pitch? | ||
| The people choose Donald Trump. | ||
| But if you say, none of that matters. | ||
| We just need to get people to fill out mail-in ballots that show up at their house. | ||
| Biden wins. | ||
| Here's more proof. | ||
| Look, I know everybody's already seen Ain't Nobody Showed Up to Biden Rallies. | ||
| Trump has 100,000 people in Wildwood, New Jersey. | ||
| Take a look at this story. | ||
| President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are carrying a personal debt of up to 800... It's nearly a million dollars! | ||
|
unidentified
|
$850,000. | |
| Their records show no one is buying the president's books. | ||
| Most of the couple's debts are in the debt is in the mortgage of their Delaware home. | ||
| An equity loan on that home. | ||
| Additionally, their debt consists of a term loan about 15,000 and a loan against their | ||
| mutual fund for 50 K. In total, the Biden's reported assets between roughly 1 million | ||
| and 2.6 million in liabilities between roughly 350 and 850, according to an office of government | ||
| ethics form that lists ranges rather than precise figures. | ||
| The Biden's financial records, along with those of Kamala Harris and her husband, Eric | ||
| are required to be made publicly public annually under the Ethics in Government Act, which | ||
| was introduced to prevent any conflicts of interest in his form. | ||
| President Biden reveals he has had no royalties from his two books, Promises to Keep and Promise | ||
| Me Dad this year. | ||
| It's just so sad. | ||
| You know, I was watching this video about the life of Joe Biden, and there are these | ||
| clips, really old footage of a smiling young, like 30 year old Joe Biden. | ||
| And it was talking about him getting a job and his family and the things he went through. | ||
| And it's so sad. | ||
| It's wild, really, if you think about it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You know, growing up, to me, Joe Biden is as old as he has ever been, right? | ||
| And I don't mean that literally, but I was talking to this pro skateboarder guy who was in his 50s, and he was like, you know, I mentioned like, I'm 38, I'm an old man, and he's like, aw, dude, I wish I was 38. | ||
| He's like, bro, I'm like 50, whatever, you know? | ||
| And then I was like, dude, you are as old as you have ever been to me. | ||
| Like, I'm 13, and you're like 20-something, and I'm watching your skate videos, and now you're 50, like, You're as old as you've ever been. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, when I was a little kid, Joe Biden was an old man. | ||
| Joe Biden is still an old man. | ||
| The reason I bring this up is, it's crazy to think about, what were the hopes and dreams of a young Joe Biden? | ||
| You know what I think? | ||
| I think Joe Biden was probably this kid, born in PA, grown up in Delaware, with a vision. | ||
| I want to be the very best, like no one ever was. | ||
| Win the elections is my test. | ||
| Or to run in elections is my test. | ||
| To win them is my cause. | ||
| And then one day, he learned from his dad, his family, what it means to be a Biden. | ||
| To be a scumbag, lying conman. | ||
| Just like his kid, who learned from him. | ||
| He reminds me of Chris Cuomo. | ||
| Emerging from his basement, pretending to be in quarantine as his son watches. | ||
| What lesson will that child take with him? | ||
| And that's what I think about. | ||
| Like that kid, Cuomo's kid, might be a good kid. | ||
| And he watches his dad being a lying scumbag. | ||
| And he thinks this is what it means to be a man. | ||
| To take whatever you want, to lie, cheat, and steal. | ||
| My, my, how the U.S. | ||
| has fallen. | ||
| So I look at these stories about Joe Biden and I'm like, do you think that like a 16-year-old Joe Biden would look at old Joe Biden and think good things about him? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| And then old Joe Biden is gonna be like, you don't know what life is really like! | ||
| You know, when I was this age and that age, I did what I had to do. | ||
| It's a question people often ask. | ||
| What would your 16-year-old version say about yourself? | ||
| I gotta be honest, most 16-year-old versions of all of us were dumb as a box of rocks and as arrogant to match. | ||
| Well, I don't know, are rocks arrogant? | ||
| Whatever, you get my point. | ||
| I'd like to believe that if I visited the 16-year-old version of myself and I was like, behold, young Tim Pool, this is IU from the future! | ||
| 22 years! | ||
| If I said, you know, in 22 years you will be talking news and politics, recording what's called a podcast, and making videos on YouTube, Uh, skating. | ||
| You'd have two private skate parks in a big warehouse. | ||
| My 16-year-old version would probably be like, uh-huh. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like, I, I, I, you know, when I was a kid, I, you know, my friend skating, I was always the one who was like, I'm 16 years old, and I was talking about Bush and Cheney and stuff like that. | ||
| And they knew. | ||
| They were like, this guy just talks about this stuff all the time. | ||
| Like, here I am, just like, kind of doing the exact same thing. | ||
| I think a younger version of me would just be like, you're boring. | ||
| Like, you are exactly what I expect to be. | ||
| There was no great mishap, no calamity. | ||
| It's just, we get there? | ||
| I'm not trying to humblebrag or anything like that. | ||
| What I mean to say is, for most of you watching, I imagine it's the exact same. | ||
| The 16-year-old version of yourself would probably be like, oh wow, cool, had a family, got a job, kind of what I expected to happen. | ||
| That's what I saw when I was a teenager, it's what I worked on and what I thought was gonna happen. | ||
| Some of you may be like, no way, never would have seen it coming. | ||
| That's true too. | ||
| I feel like for someone like Joe Biden, the younger version of himself would probably throw up in his mouth a little bit and be like, after everything, this is what we are? | ||
| Sad. | ||
| Look at these kids. | ||
| So anyway, Jill Biden reported no royalties for her memoir, Where the Light Enters, but did note she received royalties of up to $1,000 for her two children's books, Don't Forget, God Bless Our Troops, and Joey, The Story of Joe Biden. | ||
| The First Lady has another children's book coming out in July, blah blah blah. | ||
| Biden's liabilities include a mortgage on his personal home carrying a balance between $250K to $500K. | ||
| The interest rate for the mortgage, which Biden incurred from the TD Bank, is $3.375. | ||
| That's not bad, considering. | ||
| The president took out a home equity loan in 2022 with variable interest rate. | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| Ten-year term, which rose to $100K to $250K. | ||
| Blah, blah, blah. | ||
| He also reported having less cash in the bank than he did in the past year. | ||
| One of his bank accounts showed cash total of $50,000 to $100,000 from $250,000 to $500,000 last year. | ||

|
Yay! | |
| We get it. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| They got big debts. | ||
| Harris, meanwhile, disclosed Beyonce gave her tickets to her 2023 concert in D.C. | ||
| She valued tickets at $1,600. | ||
| She and Emhoff also revealed that ESPN had gifted her tickets to Howard University's football game, blah blah blah. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| Biden reported no gifts in his disclosure. | ||
| No gifts. | ||
| The president has up to $815,000 in debt. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| I kind of feel bad. | ||
| Nobody wants to read his book. | ||
| Nobody cares who he is. | ||
| And dare I say, the most popular president in American history. | ||
| I think people would be wise not to run away with these ridiculous conspiracy theories of mass fraud. | ||
| The idea of voting systems, flipping votes, hackers and all of this crazy shenanigans because they don't need it. | ||
| They needed only the shadow campaign, which you can read in full detail on time dot com. | ||
| They returned to the scene of the crime and explained in full detail exactly how Joe Biden won. | ||
| Ballot harvesting. | ||
| Ballot harvesting. | ||
| It should be apparent to everybody this guy's not popular. | ||
| It was apparent to everybody in 2020 he wasn't popular. | ||
| And now I think young people are witnessing what it means to have been lied to by the media. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Something's got to give. | |
| It's got to change. | ||
| If in 2024 the system is still predicated upon who can get the most number of signed pieces of paper, as opposed to who can win the argument, we are screwed. | ||
| Young people are pissed. | ||
| Biden's losing support from minority voter voting blocs. | ||
| If Biden pulls off a victory with ballot harvesting again or other nonsense, these court cases against Trump, I feel like the actual learned individuals who are suffering under this failed economy are going to lose their minds. | ||
| Because at a certain point, when you look at the failures of this guy Joe Biden, his debts, his inability, he's a president, he can't sell a book? | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| I should have looked up the numbers of how many books Obama sold. | ||
| People are just going to be like, nah, no way dude. | ||
| We don't believe it anymore. | ||
| And I think it's plain to see how they win, how they game the system. | ||
| But eventually, and right now many people just don't believe it. | ||
| Even though, I can show you the shadow campaign, explain ballot harvesting, James O'Keefe uncovered ballot harvesting, people are going to be like, nope, don't care, don't believe it, he didn't win. | ||
| And then what happens to this country? | ||
| How will people How will they follow this government that is sending billions overseas to these foreign countries when they don't even believe the government's real? | ||
| 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. | ||
| In a viral video with nearly 12 million views, Katherine Brodsky says, If you run into her in the forest, I pity the man and the bear. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This is a video of a woman who is, I believe they say she's a black belt, and she's doing this amazing work with the staff, which is very impressive, and there are many men who are saying they can take her. | ||
| Here's the funny thing. | ||
| Catherine responded, the number of unfit, unskilled men claiming they can take her merely based on the fact that they are men. | ||
| Yes, men on average are stronger, but take an unfit man in a somewhat similar weight class and she's winning. | ||
| And there it is. | ||
| Somewhat similar weight class. | ||
| I understand Catherine's initial tweet is basically a joke. | ||
| This is a viral post from Reina. | ||
| What's her name? | ||
| Reyna Vallendingham. | ||
| Probably pronouncing her name wrong. | ||
| And she's incredible. | ||
| She's an amazing athlete, an incredible martial artist. | ||
| She has this video from a half year ago, performing this amazing routine with a staff, which is quite powerful and intimidating! | ||
| And someone commented, how are men even gay? | ||
| That's right, look at her. | ||
| Look at her swing that staff. | ||
| Now, some people have said it's basically Flash. | ||
| Those aren't real moves that are going to be effective in any kind of combat. | ||
| It's more of a shock and awe thing. | ||
| If you're about to fight someone and someone's doing that, yeah, I'm gonna be like, I'm pretty sure you know how to fight with that outside of the flashy moves. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| It's intimidating. | ||
| A lot of these moves you'd make would be deflected by the body you're striking, so it's probably the most effective thing in the world. | ||
| But now to the main point! | ||
| You've seen the video. | ||
| If you run and tour in the forest, I pity the man and the bear first. | ||
| Obviously, this is a play on if, uh, would you rather be trapped in the woods with a man or a bear? | ||
| And many women are saying, bear! | ||
| And it's the most insane thing imaginable. | ||
| It's the viral meme. | ||
| But then there is the conversation around, um, I pity the man and the bear. | ||
| First of all, it's a joke. | ||
| None of these things will be effective on a bear at all. | ||
| But the idea of pitying the man, And Catherine says, her name, here's more about the girl, her name is Raina Vallendingham. | ||
| She's a 4'3 black belt, 13 time taekwondo world champion, totally dominant in her weight class. | ||
| Until she quit competing, two weeks of pole arm training won't cut it, bro. | ||
| And a lot of people are making jokes. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| One guy, Dookie Pox, says, I doubt she could defeat an average-sized, untrained man in physical combat. | ||
| And, uh, let's take a look at the responses. | ||
| Johnny in SRQ says she has over a dozen black belt championships to her name. | ||
| How many do you have? | ||
| This guy says I'm a 33 degree, uh, 33rd degree trash ninja. | ||
| One individual says, with the use of the stick against an unarmed man, I don't know on that one. | ||
| Hanahan, I still don't know. | ||
| A lot of dudes are soft AF. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dookie says that's a hollow aluminum tube that would bend in half if she hit somebody with it. | ||
| I think that's actually correct. | ||
| This stick being used is a lightweight aluminum tube for flashy maneuvers. | ||
| I don't think she's actually... I'm willing to bet she could use a legit bo staff in the exact same way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So. | |
| Let me put it this way. | ||
| Let's just be real, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| If this woman, Reyna, had a bo staff, presuming her training, uh, average guy is going to get mercilessly beaten. | ||
| Mercilessly! | ||
| But, um, it's true for a lot of people. | ||
| Depending on the weapon you're using. | ||
| I'm not going to waste any time for you guys. | ||
| This woman weighs 103 pounds. | ||
| She's a fighter, so she has her weight class and it's public knowledge. | ||
| She's 5'1", 103 pounds. | ||
| I don't know if she still is or whatever. | ||
| Dude, I'm sorry. | ||
| I get that the post is mostly a joke, but your average guy will absolutely just... You take the average guy. | ||
| I'm talking... | ||
| Let's say $1.85, high BMI, because this dude is out of shape with flabby arms, he's gonna win. | ||
| I'm sorry, like, the one advantage she likely will have is if she has grappling techniques under her belt, and she can put this guy in a submission. | ||
| Then she's got it. | ||
| Any guy, on average, however, I don't know if her submissions, depending on the submissions, for someone who's so small and weighs so little, Don't come at me, bro, and be like, yeah, but she's got training. | ||
| Dude, no training is going to beat a bear, okay? | ||
| And now why is that? | ||
| Ask yourself, why is it that a 220-pound, ripped martial arts master, proper training, stretching, perfect technique, MMA master, won't beat a bear in hand-to-hand combat? | ||
| How is it possible the guy's got training? | ||
| Because the bear is like a ton of sheer muscle. | ||
| Grizzlies, I suppose depending on the bear, a small bear perhaps. | ||
| We're talking about a black bear. | ||
| Well, look, you should look into this, but my understanding is that you have to fight a black bear and very, very unlikely you're going to win. | ||
| In fact, many, many trained men can't beat a dog in a fight. | ||
| The dog locks onto your arm and you're hitting it trying to get it off and it's hard. | ||
| Proper training versus, I mean, look, you get it. | ||
| A bear is going to have big claws. | ||
| You're going to be like, I'm going to try and put this bear in a submission. | ||
| It's not going to work. | ||
| Let's say you get the bear in an arm bar. | ||
| The bear is just too strong. | ||
| It's going to just pull and you're not going to be able to hold on. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Joe Rogan was talking about males fighting in female sports and he was mentioning that | ||
| women can win against men with proper grappling technique because the power differential between | ||
| a woman and a man is not so great, typically, that a trained woman is going to be able to | ||
| That being said, this woman, Reyna, is not built for muscle. | ||
| She looks to be mostly a model. | ||
| I mean, she's a champion, I get that. | ||
| Maybe it's because she's not really fighting as much anymore. | ||
| But dude, come on, she's five feet tall. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| I want to see how people responded to TheWookie1 who said she's a 13-time champion. | ||
| One person said, not. | ||
| Fakenews says, I've had two boxing sessions. | ||
| I think I would take my chances. | ||
| One person said, agreed. | ||
| Even if which I doubt would be true, the untrained guy is technically stronger. | ||
| It doesn't matter if his agility sucks and he can't fight. | ||
| I'm an untrained guy and sure as hell would just walk away. | ||
| I blame cartoons, I guess. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| The bear didn't train at all. | ||
| The dog, the horse, these animals don't train. | ||
| And you're going to have a hard time fighting it. | ||
| I just, I got news for you guys. | ||
| Men have, like, okay. | ||
| Catherine responded by saying, similar weight class. | ||
| Oh, well, come on. | ||
| The question is not about weight class. | ||
| We know that, to be fair. | ||
| I'm not so convinced that's still true. | ||
| A 5'1", 103 pound man with no training, yeah, okay, I mean maybe he's got some more bone density and muscle mass, but duh, of course he's not going to win against an untrained woman in that capacity. | ||
| The issue that people are talking about when they see a woman who is 5'1", 100 pounds doing martial arts is that the training is good that she has it, but your average guy is going to beat her up. | ||
| There was this one dude, this is a really funny story, where he was like, I could beat any woman in MMA, I have no training, I have no idea what I'm doing, and none of them would do it. | ||
| None of them would take him up on the fight. | ||
| They kept bowing out, just like, I could beat you up, and then they'd bow out. | ||
| I think what happened was eventually, he did get his fight, and it was more of a light-hearted sparring match, in which he was like, yeah, okay, you got me, and he got paid for it or something like this, I don't know. | ||
| But my view on this is actually, it's really simple. | ||
| Why is it that a martial arts master would struggle against a bear? | ||
| It doesn't matter what your training is. | ||
| Some people, they're just, they're different. | ||
| And this is, I honestly think it's a product of cartoons and superhero movies. | ||
| It's like, it's funny watching Justice League and, like, Wonder Woman's fighting these guys. | ||
| And then, I always thought it was really funny in Justice League when Wonder Woman would get, like, slugged by, like, some massive-looking villain guy. | ||
| Because she still doesn't look super ripped. | ||
| They draw her as, like, your average female body. | ||
| Granted, she's got massive hips and boobs or whatever. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| But I mean, like, she's not ripped. | ||
| A woman who properly trains, like MMA fighter women, they have much smaller breasts and they have big muscles. | ||
| That's what happens to any human who trains. | ||
| But in these cartoons, often, especially like anime, women and men are depicted as being on equal footing. | ||
| There's also this misconception about agility, where they're saying, yeah, but, you know, if he hasn't got the agility, Bigger muscles have more agility. | ||
| For some reason, there's been this trope in comics and cartoons that smaller, lightly framed people are more agile, and that's actually not correct. | ||
| There's certainly a limit. | ||
| If you're lifting and becoming like a massive bodybuilder, you're going to have limited range of motion. | ||
| Sure, there's a funny video where someone puts a sticker on the back of a bodybuilder and he can't reach it because his muscles are too big. | ||
| That's actually kind of funny. | ||
| But look at any of the stats and data. | ||
| The smaller muscles do not react as quickly. | ||
| So there's a happy medium for sure, but this idea that because she's smaller she'll be more agile is not correct. | ||
| Just absolutely not correct. | ||
| I wonder if there's any more... | ||
| One person said, technique can outweigh strength a lot of times. | ||
| They couldn't even land a punch. | ||
| LMAO. | ||
| She's fast AF. | ||
| F-boy. | ||
| She's, oh no no, I'm sorry. | ||
| She's fast as F-boy. | ||
| Then how does she win? | ||
| One dude says, bro, she's a 4th degree black belt, 13 time taekwondo world champion. | ||
| She would beat any untrained man. | ||
| I hate to break it to you. | ||
| She would not be able to do anything to a 6 foot 2, 220 pound average guy. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| She's 5 foot 1, 100 pounds. | ||
| He'd pick her up with one arm. | ||
| She wouldn't be able to put him in a submission. | ||
| I'm sure it's not absolute. | ||
| Someone said she looks like she weighs about 100 pounds. | ||
| She does. | ||
| When you look up her weight class, because fighters have, that's just true. | ||
| One guy said, I think it's fair to assume that she's a young lady of conviction, and the way she connects to Earth is real, so I'd say an untrained man, maybe she dominates a lot of the time, but to do that, respect a trained man, it's absolutely insane that people live in this world. | ||
| You know what I think it is, to be completely honest? | ||
| I think the idea is, it's male feminists. | ||
| Like, more power to women, yeah! | ||
| Listen, dude. | ||
| She's strong, she's trained, I respect it. | ||
| But I'm not gonna lie and play silly games and act like the average guy can't beat up a woman. | ||
| This is quite literally why we have expectations in society about men hitting women. | ||
| Because a guy has got bigger joints, he's got bigger hands, he's got more muscle mass, more bone density, more skin collagen. | ||
| There was, um... | ||
| This is what Joe Rogan was talking about, like, this is 12 years ago, with this trans, this biological male fighting in MMA. | ||
| Some of the women fighters were saying, I've never experienced power like that before. | ||
| It's like, well yeah, you're more fast twitch muscle, more muscle mass, higher center of gravity, all of these things are putting these women at a disadvantage. | ||
| And these are women who actually were like, were ripped. | ||
| This woman's, again, I'll say it, amazing training, Uh, she looks great. | ||
| Great fighter. | ||
| Athletic. | ||
| But her account is very much like female modeling and Flash. | ||
| Meaning she's swinging around the light aluminum pole. | ||
| She has one where, uh, where is the, here we go. | ||
| In this one, this is cool. | ||
| Kicks the bottle, and then kicks the bottle again. | ||
| I don't think the kick she made, let's watch that again, that kick right there, average guy is going to put up his arm and it's going to hurt him, and then he's going to slug her and she's going to go down. | ||
| I don't know, you know, I mean, and I'll tell you this, maybe you take an average guy and see if she'd be willing to fight. | ||
| I'm going to tell you, I don't think that's the case. | ||
| I think the average woman would not do it. | ||
| I grew up watching cartoons where male and female superheroes were fighting side by side as equals. | ||
| And there was that narrative growing up that men and women are equal, and that if women trained, they could be as strong as men. | ||
| And I'm just like, dude, look at grip strength. | ||
| The high end of the bell curve for grip strength is still lower than the average grip strength. | ||
| I'm going to pull this up. | ||
| Male versus female. | ||
| Grip strength. | ||
| Let me pull up the map. | ||
| There's a great image that went viral. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| Let me pull up this image. | ||
| We got it right here. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| Combined grip strength in kilograms. | ||
| The blue line is the average male. | ||
| The green line is the average female. | ||
| We're looking at a woman and a man who are in their prime. | ||
| The highest for a 25-year-old female is still below the average male in terms of grip strength. | ||
| I am not saying this to say mean things about women, to insult or demean them. | ||
| It's just crazy to me that people want to pretend like reality is not a thing. | ||
| At a young age, men and women have comparable grip strength. | ||
| They're in the same range. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| Pre-pubescent. | ||
| Obviously, around puberty, men skyrocket. | ||
| I say boys because they're little boys. | ||
| Once they hit their 20s, 18, they become men. | ||
| This is where peak grip strength is, around 30 years old. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Now, there are some women with high grip strength above the average male, but there's very few. | ||
| In fact, I'm not even sure there are any, to be completely honest. | ||
| They did choose blue and green, which I think is funny, because it's like, oh, come on. | ||
| There are women who are around 18 to 20 that have high grip strength comparable to men, slightly above average. | ||
| But take a look at the strongest females. | ||
| The strongest females, in the large sense of the curve, are still below the average male on the line. | ||
| Average. | ||
| Average. | ||
| Meaning, women who train to get strong, on average, are still weaker than men who do not train. | ||
| That is wild. | ||
| To be fair, you got some weak dudes down here. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| There are a lot of guys that have low grip strength. | ||
| Absolutely low grip strength. | ||
| And I suppose you can argue that average is a lot of guys who train versus a lot of guys who don't. | ||
| But if we're talking about the average guy versus the strongest female, there was a, uh... Oh, I think we got another one here. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Here's another image. | ||
| This one's... oh, this is really hard to read. | ||
| It says... What is this post? | ||
| Let me see if I can... I don't know what this post is. | ||
| It's a martial arts thing. | ||
| Almost all men are stronger than all women. | ||
| Body mass index and hand grip strength. | ||
| It's kind of hard to read. | ||
| But you can see here that guys just overwhelmingly... So it's just crazy to me, honestly, that there's this argument that if she was fighting someone comparable, Look, when you bring up even similar weight class, an untrained guy in a similar weight class, well sure, she's got a good chance of beating him. | ||
| But if you take a look at women who train versus men who don't, comparable. | ||
| So even then, it may be a coin toss. | ||
| I don't want to rant on this too much. | ||
| I just thought it was interesting that these myths persist. | ||
| And I think it's like a feminist idea of being like, we're strong too. | ||
| Women are strong in other ways. | ||
| They create people. | ||
| I don't understand why there's this desire to be like, yeah, well, I'm a man. | ||
| Could you imagine if men were like, we can have babies better than women? | ||
| It's like, no, you literally can't. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| I know it's gonna be like a trans argument. | ||
| I'm saying biological males will, you know, if you made a graph like this, and it's like, ability to bear children by gender, women are at 100, men are at zero. | ||
| And there's no reality where guys come out and be like, I am going to create life. | ||
| Well, you can't do that. | ||
| But there's this weird world where women and male feminists and leftists try to create this blank slate world where it's like, women can be men. | ||
| And it's just like, I hate to break it to you, man. | ||
| I don't know why you have to live in that world. | ||
| You don't have to. | ||
| There's no loss of honor. | ||
| It's not mean. | ||
| I'm not trying to disrespect anybody by pointing out that men are stronger. | ||
| That's just it. | ||
| Trained women are still below average compared to men. | ||
| Average guys who do not train are, on average, stronger than women who do. | ||
| I was reading something a couple weeks ago. | ||
| We were talking about something like this. | ||
| It said, the average man is stronger than the average woman. | ||
| A determined woman is stronger than the average man. | ||
| A determined man is stronger than a determined woman. | ||
| This is still a cope, in my opinion. | ||
| On average, guys are taller, stronger, more muscles, bigger bones, everything. | ||
| I'll leave it there. | ||
