Over this past weekend, Alex Jones was on his show with an emergency broadcast saying the feds were attempting to come in, lock down his studio, seize all of his assets, and end InfoWars once and for all.
Which seems strange.
The issue at hand is that Alex Jones owes money to the family of the Sandy Hook parents, the victims.
Well, if you want to get paid money you are owed, why would you shut down the company that generates the money?
Their argument?
Alex Jones does not have a repayment plan, or I should say a payment plan for them, and thus, they just want to sell off everything he owns and take his money.
What I see here is in line with everything else related to Donald Trump, the election, and the end of American institutions.
The idea that a court system is fair relies on the court system being a jury of your peers.
The idea that we are governed by laws requires police officers and communities that tolerate the enforcement of those laws, and more so, demand the enforcement of those laws.
But where are we now?
My friends, laws do not matter.
Now watch this great video.
From a gentleman.
Let me see if I can try and find his name, actually.
I think I can pull it up.
A video about why the Constitution is dead.
And he's completely correct.
His name is, let's see, Wade Stotts.
That's what I thought it was.
Let me pull up good ol' Wade's ex-profile.
He's got a bunch of videos.
You can follow this guy.
Let's pull this up.
Let's see, he's got a video about why the Constitution is dead that got some traction.
I saw Jack Posobiec posted it.
And, well, I don't know exactly where it is.
Yes, here we go.
May 24th.
The Constitution is dead.
550,000 views.
And this is relevant to the story of Alex Jones and what's currently going on in this country.
The death of the Constitution.
I highly recommend this video.
I did retweet it.
In it, Wade points out that When you start writing things down is when things aren't going too well.
That's a scary reality, but it's true.
We don't need to tell people not to do certain things, whether it's legal or illegal, right?
If they all agree not to do it, then they just don't do it.
You know, we don't have a law on the books about eating meat on Friday, but lots of people just don't eat meat on Friday.
We're well beyond, well beyond saving this country by writing on a piece of paper, thou shalt.
And so where we are right now with Alex Jones, with Donald Trump, with anybody who stands in the way of the machine, laws don't matter.
Look at what's happening in New York with Trump.
He didn't break the law.
There's no crime.
What they're trying to claim as a crime is beyond its statute of limitations.
They got him anyway.
Because what's written down does not matter.
What matters is that in New York, everyone agrees this is how it will be.
So the jurors are just as... I'll put it this way, you know, you can mock them.
You can insult them.
You can insult all the people involved, all the Democrats.
Only one thing matters.
You and they are different.
I don't need a law to tell someone not to come in my room and take a dump on the studio floor, do I?
People don't do it!
Take a look at San Francisco.
They do.
And Democrats seek to decriminalize these things.
The argument made by Wade—I shouldn't call it an argument, but the point, the fact he brings up—is that when societies are facing social degradation, they begin to write down things to make sure everyone knows.
Don't do this!
That means that it's come to a point where a large enough group of people don't realize there are things you should not do.
Your culture is fragmenting.
Let me read this news about Alex Jones.
It's a temporary victory.
We've got other news about the Washington Post collapsing.
We'll talk about the shifts that we're seeing in this country.
The AP reports after a weekend in which conspiracy theorist Alex Jones warned that his media company faced an imminent shutdown by the federal government because of his bankruptcy case, a judge on Monday allowed Jones to keep operating for the next two weeks while it is decided whether his assets should be liquidated.
Both Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, filed for bankruptcy reorganization after he lost two lawsuits and was ordered to pay $1.5 billion.
To relatives of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.
They sued Jones for calling the shooting a hoax, claiming defamation and infliction of emotional distress.
Families have opposed Jones' reorganization plans.
On Sunday, they filed an emergency motion to convert Free Speech System's bankruptcy reorganization into a liquidation, saying Jones has not made progress in showing how he will pay the lawsuit judgments.
U.S.
bankruptcy judge Christopher Lopez in Houston said Monday that he will address the motion on June 14th when a decision on whether to liquidate Jones and his company assets is expected.
Donald Trump.
Criminally charged.
What's the crime?
He signed a check to a lawyer.
Arguably, someone at his company incorrectly labeled those checks legal expenses to a lawyer.
Illegal.
My question for all of you is, Where's the judge who just says, no, Alex Jones doesn't have to pay him back?
It's Texas, right?
It's good ol' red Texas, right?
Where's the judge who just says, after reviewing this case, I'm telling Alex not to pay him back?
Have a nice day!
We don't have those judges, do we?
You see, this is the problem the right faces.
The left will get a judge who will say, I don't know.
I don't care.
You do as I say.
And the right will get judges who go, well, I guess we'll just do as they say.
And that's where we are as a country right now.
The right hopes that with Donald Trump getting elected, with MAGA Republicans getting elected, we may actually see some procedural change here.
Yeah.
So I have a video clip.
Well, I said that there should be lists of Democrats that we should target with criminal prosecution, that when Donald Trump gets elected, he should appoint a good Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, head of the CIA and FBI, and he should be going after criminals.
There should be investigations.
When evidence presented, these people can be indicted, charged, arrested, and then stand trial.
And when they are convicted, they can go to jail.
Because they broke the law.
And if they did not break the law, then there's no charges.
All I'm saying is, I would like to see law enforcement do their standard job.
And what do we get?
Well, the media loses their minds!
They threatened to lock up Donald Trump.
In just about a month, we're going to find out whether or not they're going to put him in jail.
I think at this point, yeah, just, Brandon Strzok was right.
I said, I don't know, it probably goes too far to put him in jail.
They'll put him on house arrest or something.
And then Brandon said, why?
They've done everything, to the most extreme degree, every step of the way.
They've not stopped.
Why would they stop now?
You know what?
You're right.
They're going to put him in jail.
They want the picture of Trump in a jumpsuit.
Because the law doesn't matter to these people.
And the law never did.
We simply write things down in hopes that people can look at the list and say, okay, I won't do that thing.
So what do we get?
Right now, as many of you already know, Democrats don't care what the law says.
They'll make it up.
Republicans, our judges, then watch the Democrats break the law and then look down and say, where's, uh, why?
Nothing I can do about it.
The law doesn't let me do it.
And that's where we're currently at.
And that's what is happening with Alex Jones.
It's what's happening with Donald Trump, of course.
It's what's happening with Donald Trump's staffers.
Donald Trump's associates.
I mean, Roger Stone is a great example.
I want to pull up this image from Jack Posobiec that I'd like to pull up for you.
Now, The Independent likes to put it as, Sandy Hook denier Alex Jones had a lifeline by judge after crying on InfoWars show.
I don't know what to tell you, everybody, but that video from Wade is particularly good in breaking down these issues.
It's a point that I've made several times.
Law has never mattered.
Obviously, don't break the law.
I'm not saying that.
What I'm saying is whether society enforces a law is completely dependent upon whether or not people tolerate or don't tolerate certain actions.

Well, one judge is giving Alex Jones a lifeline, saying, you've got a couple weeks to figure it out.
If I were a judge, Right now, if I was a judge and I was handed a case like this, it'd be real simple, actually.
I'd say, I hereby order Alex Jones to not pay anything.
Come to me.
Cry about it.
What are you going to do?
You're going to appeal.
You're going to try to go to a higher court.
Good luck.
Have fun.
I don't care.
Don't, don't, no, don't care.
Supreme Court apparently denied Alex Jones as well.
Where are our judges?
The system is breaking down, and it's not just one-sided.
It's the whole system breaking down.
You know, I don't want to make this all so negative, right?
Let me jump to a little bit of positive for you, in a similar vein.
This is a story also about the media.
And while I can talk about the threats faced by Alex Jones, and many people will be upset, I come with good news as well.
I can't sugarcoat it anymore.
Will Lewis bluntly defends Washington Post shakeup.
The Washington Post has lost half of its audience, they've lost 70 million dollars, and their staffers are demanding more diversity!
We just want more black women!
I'm not making a joke, that's literally what they're saying.
And the boss is like, guys, no one reads that stuff!
No one reads it, we're losing money.
You see?
What I fear, though, is societal decay.
What we're seeing is Donald Trump's case, you've got... Oh, it's so annoying they put an autoplay video on there, that's so annoying.
You've got Donald Trump's case, clearly broken.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter to any of these people.
They keep doing it over and over and over again, and they go, this proves it!
Trump's now been charged so many times, this proves it!
None of it proves anything.
Republicans do nothing.
The system is completely broken.
And I gotta say, I tell you, I respect Democrats.
I do.
Because they're willing to just sit there with smiles on their faces and say, I will do whatever I want.
And the Republicans will do nothing about it.
Man, I wish we had Republicans that would do this.
I wish we had a single red state attorney general or district attorney, state's attorney, or even a federal, a conservative federal attorney, a U.S.
attorney general, I'm sorry, U.S.
attorney, to do anything.
They don't do anything ever!
Nothing.
Hunter Biden is going to jail on a gun charge.
Sure.
Finally.
And a lot of people don't think that's legit anyway, but I don't care.
That's nothing.
It's meaningless.
They have destroyed InfoWars.
Or they're trying to.
They are trying to put the frontrunner to the 2024 election in jail.
So I don't care at all about Hunter Biden's gun charge.
And you know, I'm fairly 2A absolutist.
So the only thing I'm really concerned about is that his girlfriend threw it in the garbage outside of a school.
No, what I see here, and I think y'all will agree, is cultural cohesion is gone.
And what we have left is... I don't know what you'd call it.
I don't know what the historical analog would be.
It is quite literally a period where the rules don't matter and people are doing whatever they want.
This is a funny thing, too.
This is why I'm not a libertarian.
A big L libertarian.
Because the idea of pure privatization, yeah, I don't see it.
I don't see it making any sense.
Look, I've often said, if you have a nation of Seamus Coglins, I'm always shouting out Seamus, if everybody in this country had the same moral worldview as Seamus Coglin, you would need no police.
There would be not a single jail.
None.
Because Seamus is a good moral person, and everybody would get along.
But you don't.
You live in a country of competing interests and corruption.
So what is the real purpose of any of it?
Well, I gotta tell you.
What we are seeing right now is the pure state of the libertarian vision.
And they can make all the arguments in the world they want.
They say, no, this is government corruption!
I see no difference between a mafia and the current mafia running things.
Are there laws in the books that describe what they could or couldn't be doing?
No.
What is the difference between a group of people who come to your store, bash up your display case, demanding money by force, And a group of people who come with guns and threaten to shoot you unless you give them your money by force.
Which group am I talking?
Okay, how about this?
Two guys show up to your store, and they say, if you don't pay up, they're going to make your life a living hell.
They are going to do things to you.
They're going to lock you in a room.
And then they're going to take the money from you by force.
It's like, oh well, that could describe both the mafia and the government.
What's the difference?
The only argument from libertarians is that there should be a bunch of small governmental organizations privately funded by choice.
That'll never happen.
The system we have is a function of Natural market expansion and the coalescing of power, which naturally forms government, which becomes corrupt, which gets a monopoly.
This is how things go.
You get rid of the government today, and tomorrow you'll have private warring factions like the oligarchs in Ukraine, who will then form a pact between each other.
Congratulations on your new government.
Power is power.
Doesn't matter if you call it private or public.
The ability to exert power.
A government with no loyal police force is impotent.
A government with a police force is all of a sudden a tyrannical monopoly.
Monopoly on violence.
Well, I should get back to the good news.
But I also think it's indicative of the collapse that we're seeing.
I don't know if come November we get civil war, who knows what.
I just know that American social order is about to shatter.
And the only thing that Democrats have to offer is to shatter it further.
It would appear that the populist MAGA base are the last vestiges of the Republic desperately trying to cling to life.
Unfortunately, even for the right, many on the right are proponents of a national divorce, the fracturing and dissolution of the Union.
Well, I'll tell you what you get.
It'll be like the post-Soviet states.
I mean, things won't be bad forever.
Things might actually dramatically improve in the short term.
You'll keep more of what you make.
Because there's no union, no federal government to take your stuff.
Take a look at this.
Vanity Fair's article.
Washington Post publisher.
Actually, we'll do this.
Let's make a cliff note from the post-millennial.
Washington Post audience cut in half.
Paper losing millions every year.
Staff demand more diversity in response.
One reporter asked Lewis whether any women or people of color were interviewed and seriously considered for either of these positions.
I'm happy to hear that.
I am genuinely pleased to hear that.
Because these people, their companies deserve to collapse.
I have one hope.
As everything falls apart, the system will not be sustained.
What they're doing to Alex Jones, it's unsustainable.
I love the story of Blackstone's formulation and the Fifth Amendment.
Why do we have the presumption of innocence?
It's actually really, really smart.
And you've heard me say it a million times, so I'll give you the quick version.
Sodom and Gomorrah, story in the Bible, if there is but one righteous man, one righteous person, I will not destroy these towns.
They got the good guy out, then God blew up the towns.
Or the cities, whatever.
Blackstone said, learning from those lessons, it is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
And that makes a strong society.
When people believe That as long as they do good, the system will seek to protect them, and they will be allowed to live their lives freely, then they abide within the system.
They say, I got a good thing going.
If you're wrongly accused, they will try to make sure it's as hard as possible.
And this means bad people get away with stuff, too.
It does.
But then you got your Second Amendment.
Defend yourself.
When you switch things around and tell people, even if you are innocent, we will lock you up, That was Otto von Bismarck, who said it is better that ten innocent people suffer than one guilty person escape.
That system cannot survive.
It can't survive because then the shoemaker says, what's the point of being innocent if they're going to try and lock me up anyway?
I just need to make sure I get away with it.
What happens then is, there is no incentive to be a good person and to sustain the system.
The system then collapses.
Because no one believes in helping each other.
You're not going to get paid.
You're not going to make money.
Your business won't succeed.
People will rob you blind.
The cops will turn a blind eye.
The cops will say, pay me off.
That's what you get in a society like that.
And that's where we're going.
I will stress, Alex Jones is... They're targeting him to destroy his company and destroy InfoWars.
Donald Trump is being targeted to prevent him from winning.
And I would not be surprised to find that many, many more personalities and pundits, media organizations that are becoming too successful, get targeted with, say, like the IRS, in extreme ways, or criminal activity.
Because we're opposing the system.
And the system enriches evil people.
That's what we're seeing happen right now.
But let me bring it all together.
Alex Jones, I don't think he's going to win this one.
So I don't know what happens.
Because we don't have judges that are willing to stand up and do the right thing.
Our side are the people who say, no, we don't do things that way.
We are honorable people.
That's good.
When the system collapses, hopefully those honorable people will help rebuild something coherent.
But the Washington Post is also collapsing, which shows that even the left's world structure is failing.
The idea of bringing in a bunch of diverse writers with no capabilities and then trying to make money doesn't work.
What will happen in the long run?
If they are to succeed, they will demand communism.
Because communism makes sure the Washington Post doesn't collapse.
They're going to say, we do good work.
It's not our fault you can't make money.
The government should subsidize us.
Democrats will then say, the government should subsidize media.
They do important work.
You can't have a functioning country without media.
And before you know it, your tax dollars are being forced to pay for diversity articles.
Or maybe, The system collapses completely.
There's not enough young people to do work to sustain the old people.

I would recommend that you take a look down at that real estate in El Salvador right about now.
Prices are starting to go up.
I mean, Bitcoin is going up, so houses in El Salvador are starting to get more expensive as the nation gets wealthier.
Man, I tell you, those houses that were going for $300,000 in San Salvador, they're now upwards to like $500,000.
Salvador. They're now, uh, that's the city, right? Salvador.
They're now upwards to like 500, 500.
Oh, uh, why am I suggesting you take a look at real estate outside the country?
From the AP, Wisconsin Attorney General files felony charges against attorneys,
aide, who worked for Trump in 2020.
If you're a lawyer who represented a man who asked you to file paperwork because you're a lawyer, they are going to put you in prison.
Understand where we are.
And there are so many people who don't.
And I think it's because Well, messaging isn't as effective as it should be.
I don't know what to tell you.
We have this... It's a... What do they call it?
Focus group.
Of people.
After Donald Trump was found guilty, they asked them how they felt about it.
People do not know what's going on.
And while I think it's fair to say that the guilty verdict in many ways backfired on Democrats, they're still getting what they want out of it.
Trump is raising money from new supporters.
25% of his 70 million from small donors.
No, no, I'm sorry, the 100 million.
Coming from new donors, 25%.
That's huge.
New donors, so it backfired in many ways.
But you look at some of these focus groups, and these people do exist, that don't know and don't care, and they hear the word convicted felon and they go, I don't know man, I don't really care.
Donald Trump's guilty.
I want to say this.
I want to say, um... Part of me's laughing.
Because this is Kenneth Chaseborough, and, um... This is Kenneth Chaseborough and Jim Troupas, and former Trump aide Mike Roman, who allegedly delivered Wisconsin's fake elector paperwork to Pennsylvania Congressman Staffer in order to get them to Vice President Pence.
They're being charged with felonies, and hey, it's four years later!
Why?
Because we are no longer in this world.
Look, man, there's a viral video going around of some kid, this young woman ripping her shirt off, and she's got mastectomy scars.
And I tell—I'm so sick of conservatives, dude.
I'm not a conservative.
I'm not a libertarian.
I don't know what you'd call me.
Call me whatever you want.
But I'm certainly not one of these weak-willed, layabout, conservative types Maybe that's what MAGA is, I don't know.
But the GOP, ooh, they're so gonna write a strongly worded letter!
Let's rely on that for saving this country from the abject corruption that is happening everywhere.
Really quite incredible if you ask me.
Here you go, CNN.
Kenneth Chaseborough, pro-Trump lawyer, pleads guilty in Georgia election subversion case, implicates Trump in fake elector conspiracy.
I am happy to hear, happy to hear, that the lowest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and traitors, because they will not stop coming for you.
So, Kenneth, I don't know what's going on, I don't know you, but I gotta tell you, on the surface, it could be tough, it could be tough.
On the surface, when I see more pain and suffering coming to those who are willing to bend the knee to the darkness, to the demons, I say, well, what did you think was going to happen?
So I don't really care.
I am not a pro-life staunch conservative.
It's fine if you are.
But I'm sitting back watching these people hatchet this country to shreds.
To shreds, I say!
And there are people who, uh, they just bend the knee.
They bend the knee.
And what do you learn from when you bend the knee?
They don't stop coming.
You know, there's all the analogies in the world, but when you are being viciously assailed by someone who intends to do you harm, I'm sorry, but there are some circumstances where you have to fight back.
You know, I'm not an expert on this, so don't take my word for it, but they say if you're in the woods and an angry grizzly bear is approaching you, they say you want to make yourself look big, back away slowly, and if the bear attacks you, you curl up, you protect your neck, and you just hope the bear stops.
Usually you're near its babies, and it does not want you near its babies, so it will hurt you, but if it thinks you're not a threat and you give up and go limp, it might leave.
They say, however, black bears, if they decide to fight you, you gotta fight back.
Because black bear don't care.
Black bear's gonna kill you.
Now, I don't know, I'm not a nature survivalist guy, that's just, my point is, what we are seeing now, with the Democratic Party, with this, they're going after these people, Josh Cole, he's going after Trump's lawyers.
That bet pays out if Trump spends at least 48 hours in jail at some point before Election Day.
I don't see how we carry on this path and believe there's an off-ramp.
You know, I can roll with the punches and joke.
When people bring up the concept of civil war and they laugh about it and think it's not possible, the memes and all that stuff, I've been saying that the prospect of civil war is high for some time.
And it's not based off of my experiences in countries in civil war or anything like that.
It's based off of reading policy expert, national security expert, and war experienced individuals reading their works.
Starting back in the Atlantic in 2017, they surveyed many national security experts who said they believed a 30-90% chance of civil war in the next 10 years.
That's 2017.
We've got 3 years left.
If they're right.
The overwhelming consensus was like 80% or something.
Then you've got a Princeton professor who's repeatedly said we're in a cold civil war.
You've got a former CIA official saying we are in the precursor to civil war.
You've got Stephen Marsh, researcher, journalist, writer, don't really agree with him politically, but he says we're in civil strife, civil war is next.
I don't understand how anyone thinks, you know, no, no, no, I take that back, I do, I get it, I get it.
Conservatives are such whiny, stodgy... Oh, whiny is the word to describe Republicans.
Oh, I gotta tell ya.
Getting up in Congress and going, I'm angry!
And then Garland and Fauci are like, I did illegal things and now I'll lie about it.
And they go, well, I'm angry!
And they go, and we'll keep lying.
And they go, ooh, I'm gonna write a letter to make sure everybody knows how angry I am!
But then you gotta look at some of these red state attorneys general, DAs, who are like, don't look at me, I'm gonna hide and not do anything!
Incredible.
Do you know who Josh Call is?
You know who Attorney General Josh Call is?
Of course you don't.
Because you don't live in Wisconsin.
But this guy has filed felony charges against Trump's lawyers.
Can you name a single red state where an attorney general is doing anything like that?
Nah, don't get me wrong.
I'll give a shout-out to Missouri.
I'll give a shout-out to Texas.
Because they're filing lawsuits over censorship and things like that.
And part of me wants to slow down.
I gotta slow down here, guys.
We gotta slow down.
And the reason being that there is a potential strategy in not going after these people.
The reason being, it's freaking some people out.
It's freaking them out.
But I will tell you, the only way the stand-back and stand-by strategy works is if y'all are engaged in messaging.
So, my point is this.
Don't interrupt your enemies when they're making mistakes.
But they're only mistakes if the people know that they're doing it.
So, when Attorney General Josh Call files felony forgery charges against Trump's lawyers, imagine this.
You're a lawyer.
Someone comes to you and says, can you draft a legal argument for these things?
And you say, sure, I can do that.
And you do.
And they go, now you're a criminal because you made a legal argument to the court.
Forgery?
Incredible.
I'll tell you the simple version of the story.
In these states, they wanted to challenge the electors through lawsuits.
And so what the standard procedure is, as we saw in Nixon v. Kennedy, after the votes are certified and the electoral vote count forms are done, The Democrats back then drafted their own electoral vote count and submitted them.
Then, after winning a court case, but without having the results certified, submitted them for count.
Nixon was the President of the Senate at the time.
And he said, I see that Hawaii is at a court case.
We are going to choose to read the alternate electors.
That's not forgery!
So the argument is this.
If we go after them right now, then it's just chaos and bedlam.
The goal is the hope that Americans are terrified by what they're seeing with this.
I don't know that it will be effective enough.
Take a look at this New York Times focus group.
Anti-hero or felon.
Eleven undecided voters struggle with how to see Trump post-verdict.
I have no problem saying that these people, most of them, are very, very uninformed and very, very weak-willed.
No problem.
A couple guys.
Pretty smart.
But this is the issue.
The issue that I've faced quite a bit.
And, um, it's funny because, you know, I'll say something like, it is a fact, it is true, this is a thing.
And you get these people and they're like, oh, you're so arrogant.
You come into my house, and you tell me that the way I do nollie hardflip lateflips is incorrect, and I'm going to tell you, buddy, ain't nobody got a better nollie hardflip lateflip than me.
I was a few people out there in the world for sure.
My point is, you don't even know what those words mean.
And very few of you have any idea what those words mean.
But if you skateboard, you go, wow, that's pretty crazy.
Not that I've ever done that trick.
That's a crazy trick to do.
My point is, why is it arrogant if I tell you I've spent 20, how long am I in this game, 24 years Skateboarding.
To have someone else come to me and tell me that I'm wrong and I don't know what I'm talking about.
The issue is, if you come to me and I talk skateboarding, I'm not going to make fun of you, I'm not going to insult you, I'm going to try and explain to you the best of my abilities.
But this means when it's matters of national importance and the survival of this nation, we're not talking about skateboarding now, we're talking about politics, policy, etc.
And then you get people who don't read the news, who have not been following this stuff, and they say, I know better.
How amazing is democracy?
We decide on who's going to vote.
We're going to have a vote.
How do we fix the plumbing?
The plumber says, let me just do it.
I'm a plumber.
And we go, no, no, we're going to vote.
We're going to vote.
Well, the plumber gets paid 200 bucks to fix it.
And he says, I am a plumber.
You give me 200 bucks.
I'll come in.
I'll get the job done.
Clean.
200 bucks, though.
So what do you get then?
You get a guy who's seen some plumbing videos, not really a plumber, but he's like, I can figure it out.
And so what does he do?
He makes his argument.
You vote for me.
And what I'll do is I'll put $100 back in.
I'll take $100 to do it.
Because he wants the $100.
Amazing how democracy works.
Everyone then votes for the guy who's not a plumber and the plumbing never gets fixed.
Here we are.
Take a look at this.
Anti-hero or felon?
How the heck can you be undecided at this point?
Four hours after the conviction of Donald Trump, the Focus Group moderator Frank Luntz posed that question to 11 voters who said they were still torn, even post-verdict, between whether to support Mr. Trump or President Biden, and for some, RFK, in November.
None said they were now definitely Biden voters, though notably, several said Mr. Trump had lost their vote or that they were more inclined to Mr. Biden.
All 11 participants in our Times Opinion Focus Group were swing voters.
They had supported or been open to Hillary or Biden at least once, and backed or considered Trump in at least those years.
Well, some of these people claim to have actually voted for Trump, but let me show you these individuals.
Their initial reactions... I like this guy, Jonathan.
He says, "...insignificant in my decision-making," the court case.
Hillary from California, a white social worker, 55, says, "...just."
A jury heard the case, looked at the facts, and rendered a verdict.
It's sad, really.
It's sad, you know, imagine watching, uh, looking at a pipe and you followed a pipe all through this massive building and then you come to a point where the pipe is leaking and you go, yikes, we've got a serious problem here.
There's a leak in this pipe.
You walk down to a group of 11 people and you say, guys, water pressure is a little low.
What should we do?
They turned the faucet on and said, faucet's working, what do you mean?
And you say, yeah, but the pressure should be higher.
I tracked the pipe and found a leak.
There's no leak!
What are you talking about?
I turned it on, it works!
Guys, there was a problem in the plumbing that needs to be, it's not working properly, and they go, I can't tell what you're talking about.
This is what we are seeing.
These people, who don't know what's going on, and they're gonna vote on it.
That makes sense.
I've never been a fan of democracy.
I am a fan of republicanism, which is elected representatives for each... you break it down by districts and things like that.
One guy says, baffled.
The whole situation is just so weird.
A former president in trial?
How did we get to this point?
So here we go.
Hillary says this is the system whether we like it or not.
The prosecution presents arguments.
Was it upsetting as an American to have a former president being investigated and prosecuted?
Absolutely.
But ultimately it was adjudicated by a group of his peers in Manhattan.
The system worked.
I don't necessarily have to like the outcome.
That's a fascist.
I'm not pulling punches.
I'm not mincing words.
Hillary, you are a fascist.
I'll explain why.
The idea that the state is always right and that's just the way things have to be is fascistic.
My view is, I don't inherently believe.
You know there's a viral video going around?
You may have seen it.
It's a guy in his car, and he's on a Zoom call in a court case.
Massively viral.
And the judge is like, is this a suspended, this is driving on a suspended license case?
And the prosecutor says, yes, your honor.
And then he goes, am I to understand that you're driving right now, and you don't have a license?
And the guy in the Zoom is like, uh, what?
And then the lady's like, that's correct, your honor.
And he goes, okay, turn yourself into jail.
And the guy's like, oh my God.
And everybody made fun of this guy.
What an idiot!
He's going to court for driving on a suspended license, and then he's on Zoom while driving his car.
The first thing I thought when I saw this was, Was the guy's license still suspended?
You can have your license suspended, get pulled over, get charged, and they say you've got court in, you know, whatever, 30 days or whatever.
Or let's say you request a continuance because your lawyer's not going to be available.
They say, fine.
Then you go and get your license reinstated by paying a fee.
Now you've got your license back.
You're driving to court to tell them, I did the course.
I got my license.
Imagine this.
Oh, man.
In Illinois, I can't speak for other places, you're driving, you don't have proof of insurance on you, you get pulled over, the cop says, I want your license and proof of insurance, and you say, I can't find my insurance paperwork, and he says, okay, I'm gonna write you a ticket for this, but if you have insurance, bring it to the court, and they dismiss this.
So you had insurance the whole time, you got the ticket.
Then, you get on the Zoom call, and the judge goes, wait, wait, wait, hold on, you got a ticket for driving with no insurance?
And now you're on the call with me driving?
That's it.
You're under arrest, and you're like, but I had insurance the whole time!
In this instance, the driver had a license.
The judge didn't care.
The prosecutors didn't care.
They told this guy to go to jail for two days.
He had his license the whole time.
The issue was, he was driving legally, and there was a clerical error where they did not update his status in the system, so despite the fact that he had a driver's license, they accused him of having a suspended license and told him he had to go to court.
So he's got a license!
They tell him it's fine, and he's like, okay, I'll go to court and get this cleared up.
Cops on the phone, driving his wife to the hospital, and the judge says, don't know, don't care, turn yourself and you're going to jail.
This is fascistic.
And everybody laughed and cheered for it.
This is what Hillary represents.
That's the system.
James says, They've been going after Trump since he was elected in 2016.
Democracy is supposed to be about the will of the people.
I don't really think the majority of the people in this country wanted to see him prosecuted.
Frank, another fascist, says, I'm kind of proud the jury was brave enough to convict a president.
Logan says, I'm an attorney, say what you want about the charging decision and the prosecutorial discretion of Alvin Bragg, but at the end of the day, 12 people in a box, another fascist.
Fascism does not take into consideration the facts.
Fascists salute Hitler because they don't know, they don't care, he just said it, and that's the way the system goes.
They march like cogs in the machine of 1984, totalitarianism, and they say, but that's the way it is.
They don't challenge, they don't think, they don't seek justice.
Wendy says this is the worst of democracy.
The fact that a felon can actually run for president hurts the general population.
Another fascist.
Ben says, I lean towards this being the best of democracy.
I would have been too terrified of voting in that direction if I was in the jury.
I tell you this, my friend.
The guy says, Frank says, what are you afraid of?
And he says, getting doxxed, all of that stuff.
They live in New York!
It's exactly what they were afraid of.
If they acquitted Donald Trump, their lives would be over.
And they saw those threats.
And I said to Jonathan, Jonathan is a 37-year-old black Floridian who says, like, this is nuts.
I can't believe they're doing this.
He says this is a fear-mongering the left wants.
They want you to be swayed.
They want you to say he's a convicted felon, so why should I vote for him?
Well, he's not going to go to jail, so you don't have to wonder about how that would work.
I don't know, Jonathan.
I think he would.
Long story short, I see a story like this and I think a few things.
It's a bit propagandistic.
I don't know who they're choosing or why.
But regardless, I don't think they're making these people up.
I think the issue is messaging, control, communications.
That's what it's always about.
The fact that this guy in Wisconsin is criminally charging Trump's lawyers is because he knows Antifa and the left will mercilessly beat him and his family if he doesn't do what they demand of him.
This is the place you are living.
Now, does Kenneth Chaseborough live in Wisconsin?
I don't believe he does, but it doesn't matter.
We are dealing with national-level politics.
So, my friends, where are the Republicans to do anything?
A single thing.
They don't exist.
Now, I can give a shout-out to many members of Congress who are yelling I guess it's cathartic to hear you yell, good sirs.
I know a lot of these people, I'm fans of some of these people, but strongly worded letters just ain't gonna cut it.
And I don't know exactly what members of Congress can do at this point.
They're filing subpoenas, they're writing letters, and they're going through a legal process, but they don't control federal DOJ filings, like they can't go after people.
But what about the red state attorneys general?
What about district attorneys?
I mean, Trump was just criminally charged in a local jurisdiction in New York.
New York City?
Nothing.
Pathetic cowards.
I don't know what the best strategy is.
Sorry, I don't.
It may be at the highest level they're saying, guys, do not stop your enemy when they're making a mistake.
Let them look insane.
If that's the case, then we need better messaging.
We need more people going out there and saying, stop!
What is going on?
Why are they criminally charging lawyers?
Short of that, we must see criminal prosecution.
So perhaps the answer then is for all of you in red states to call the office of your Attorney General, your local DA's and ask them why they are not investigating and filing charges against Biden and Democrats.
How about this?
Hillary Clinton.
Steele dossier.
Did she have filings in West Virginia?
She did.
Because they all do.
That means you have jurisdiction over things she did during her election.
Am I going to have to run for governor or something?
Because none of these people will do anything.
They will do nothing!
I'm so sick of it.
I am so absolutely tired of all of this.
Look, I've briefly met the AG of West Virginia.
He says, I don't know, it's not my job, I don't do that, whatever.
This is the second most Trump-supporting state in the country.
And what do we get?
Nothing.
Nothing?
To be fair, West Virginia was recently Democrat, so I'm not surprised you've got people like Jim Justice and Joe Manchin.
Fine.
But where is there any jurisdiction where there are strong rule-of-law politicians who are going to be like, we are going to bring the criminal charges.
Democrats will burn this country to the ground.
And they're doing it.
And we get nothing.
We can't get a single lawyer To file some paperwork.
Absolutely incredible.
Look at the legal mechanism the Democrats have with Mark Elias, I believe his name is.
Incredible.
And Republicans are a disjointed, disorganized group of whingers.
I'll say it right now.
Look, man, I'm a professional whinger, so I don't know what else I could be doing other than whinging.
I make donations, I contribute, I try to rally people to stand up for themselves and things like this, and so it's more difficult for me when my job is literally just whinging.
That is, I complain on the internet for a living.
I suppose then the issue is, when I look to our leadership and the people in positions of power who are supposed to be taking action are too cowardly To file any paperwork?
The answer is, do I gotta do it?
Do I gotta just shut the whole operation down and run for office and then start filing charges against people because no one else will?
That's what you guys should do.
Everybody just run for office.
Run for office in positions of legal authority like DA, you know, Attorney General, Secretary of State, those things.
And then bring the charges.
Jeez.
Next segment's coming up at 4pm on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out and I'll see you all then.
You've gone and done it now, Democrats.
You've enraged Dr. Phil!
He's calling on Biden to dismiss Trump's hush money conviction as he blasts the weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI in furious monologues saying he fears Putin-poisoning posses will be next.
Well, let me clarify.
I don't know exactly if that's what Dr. Phil said.
Biden can't call off the hush money thing, at least not formally because it's a local New York criminal case.
Of course, if that is the case, Dr. Phil is saying what everyone assumes.
Joe Biden and the DOJ are behind this.
You had a guy who was working at the DOJ take a demotion to go work locally, to be involved in the prosecution of Donald Trump at a local level.
Well, Dr. Phil can see right through.
But Dr. Phil, as kind as he is, does not understand.
He doesn't.
And I don't know that there is an off-ramp.
I certainly think it is fantastic that Dr. Phil is calling this out on his show.
And he's got this clip here posted to Axe, which I will play for you.
I think you should listen to it.
But I'm going to have some... I have a response to Dr. Phil.
And while I would say I 80% agree with what he's saying, there are some things to evaluate.
Now, it is wrong if they're going after Donald Trump.
This weaponization of our great institutions, the FBI, Justice Department, and individual states, similar institutions, will lead to one of two outcomes.
One is more of the same from the other side, tit for tat.
That may seem deserved, but it is not the right way forward for America.
The other is what I call on you to demand from your politicians today.
An end to this craziness in order to save the soul and sanity of our country.
Forgiveness for the regular people who know not what they do.
Agreed.
Forgive them for they know not what they do.
The average run-of-the-mill voter who votes for the corruption, who espouses their support for the corruption, they don't know what's going on.
Now as for the corrupt, We don't forgive.
We don't forget.
Because if you do, and you allow criminals and murderers and thieves to run free, well then your society is ruled and will always be contaminated by crime.
By murder.
Corruption.
Forgiveness is for those who know not what they do.
But for these AGs, for these FBI agents and people in the DOJ and the police who support them, they know exactly what they're doing.
Okay, I just want to pause right there, and Dr. Phil, if you're saying that one of two outcomes, one is we stop the insanity or the tit-for-tat, but then a minute later you go on to say that there'll be roving death squads poisoning their political opponents, you're talking about something very different.
This kind of thing is exactly why I launched Merritt Street Media and wrote, We've Got Issues.
I don't like seeing the weaponization of our justice system, agencies, and powerful government actions that, frankly, just make my skin crawl, for all of us and for my grandchildren.
And let's be honest, this is so not just about Trump.
If you let your hatred for Donald Trump compromise your ability to find true north on your moral compass, shame on you.
If you let your disgust for Biden make you blind to the inevitable consequences of pursuing revenge, then God help the children who will inherit the dystopian nightmare we create.
We need leaders who will pledge to end this vicious cycle right now and return us to that safe place where our institutions are no longer bastardized and weaponized, but rather simply serve their intended purpose.
We have serious problems to solve and it will take serious people to solve them.
I propose that the people who have waged lawfare, and exactly as you described, Dr. Phil, weaponized the government, be removed from public positions and barred from working ever again in these places.
Anyone who worked for them, anyone who supported them, I don't care if they printed out a piece of paper that they asked for, they're all fired and gone.
Personally, I'd be satisfied.
If it can get the likes of Dr. Phil on board, and it moves forward this country, I'd be willing to accept excising from political and public life those individuals who corrupted our system.
What I'd like to see is jail for them.
The problem being, that if we do not show people there is accountability for wrongdoing, then they'll engage in wrongdoing.
That being said, if it also means going to war, We don't want that.
And so, for me, if the option was war...
Or, we win control of all institutions and these people are permanently removed and have no influence?
I accept that.
I accept that.
My preference is for accountability, criminal trials, and charges so that the American people can see the wrong they've done, and I'll say it again for those in the back.
You've got the Burisma scandal.
You've got lying to the American people about the troop levels in Syria.
You've got Hillary Clinton's Steele dossier.
Oh, she paid a fine for that one.
There are many, many such instances.
If we're not going to have those people criminally charged, but we gain control of the entire system and they are excised from it, I would accept that because war is not preferable.
Men and women who we hold accountable for doing that which they were selected or hired to do, they need to know we are watching and their positions or privileges, not legacies.
They work for us until they don't.
I'm not into politics.
I claim no expertise, nor do I seek any.
I don't advocate voting for one candidate over another.
I stay in my lane addressing human behavior, collectively, culturally, and am focused on how we can have maximum control in our lives and turn this ship of state called America in the right direction and get her back on track so we can be proud.
That's my mission, and this is a call to action to save our collective soul and sanity.
This is also a call to redemption, healing, and forgiveness that leads to peace among us all, which is the most important gift we can share in our dangerous world.
The current administration could and should do the right thing.
Dismiss now, even now, post-conviction of a political opponent.
Where you see, he's like, this is what happened to me in school.
He says, uh, I get punished.
That's right.
Boys are told to sit down, shut up, and girls get benefits.
That's a fact.
They have a bunch of programs like Women This, Women That.
Yep.
Then you have work.
DEI, cancel culture, economy, inflation.
Yep.
And then in dating, women maintain the traditional approach.
But I got bad news for you, dude.
All of this is true.
Life is not easy for dudes.
It is much, much easier for women, up to a certain age.
The question is, what have you done about it?
I'm not saying it's fair.
It's not fair.
But, you know, if you wake up one day in a ditch, surrounded by, like, hungry wolves and vultures, life's not fair.
Are you going to lie down and say, well, this isn't fair at all!
Guess I'll die!
Or are you going to climb your way out of that ditch You know what I see with this is natural selection.
I really do.
Not artificial.
Natural selection.
That is, the system will continually find ways to put pressure on men to prove themselves, and if they can't, they will fail.
That's how it has always been.
Do you feel bad for the weak male runt of the litter, in the wilderness, the cheetah, the hyena, the lion, the whatever?
Yeah, we do!
But that's just it.
The question is, for all of my friends out there, one day you come across a spider web, and there is a beautiful butterfly trapped, not completely entangled, just one leg and it can't get out, and the spider is creeping up.
Do you rescue that butterfly and save it from that spider?
Well, doesn't the spider deserve a meal too?
Didn't the spider do the work to catch the butterfly?
There are many people who would say, free the butterfly, the butterfly is beautiful.
That's not really right or wrong answer.
It's just a philosophical question that you get asked when you're a little kid.
It's one of the earliest philosophical questions I wonder, I believe, people probably do get asked.
The reality is this.
Women are of course always going to be demanding things.
This goes back to ancient times.
There's a viral post from a woman, it's actually right here.
Morgan Ariel says, if you can't buy me a house, I'm not interested.
This is the bare minimum if you want to take on a wife and children.
I would accept those terms if you had no fault divorce was not an issue, but the idea of You want men to buy you things, and then you can literally just be like, okay, and that's mine forever.
That makes no sense.
The exchange of value is, the man does the work, the woman provides comfort, family, and taking care of the home and the children, and the man hunts, brings in revenue.
There's other ways you could structure your family, that's totally fine.
Either way, the mom has to have the kids.
So if a man wants to have a family with kids, it has to be the woman who does that, because the man can't make babies.
Let's play more of this video.
Let's play more.
unidentified
Girls got bonuses and I did not.
So I ended up with not very much.
I was, I'm about to be 40 and this was going to be me if it wasn't for YouTube.
And it's not because I didn't do these things.
It's because when I did them, they told me, sorry, get at the end of the line.
Donald, I tell you, insult me, call me arrogant, call me whatever, I do not wait in line.
Doesn't happen.
Very rare circumstances where I will wait in line.
Ever.
That's just me.
You guys live how you want to live, you do what you want to do, I don't wait in line.
I don't.
Either I'm going to not go at all, or I'm walking in.
That's always how I've viewed it.
What is this, seven years ago?
Luke Rutkowski and I were at, was it VidCon?
I think, where were we?
I think it was VidCon.
It's, uh, the big YouTube conference or whatever.
And, uh, they had a private party.
Private party on a certain floor of the building where only the elites of YouTube were allowed to be.
You had to be super cool, otherwise you can't come in.
Well, despite the fact that I knew tons of people at Google, had done consulting for them for free, they wouldn't let me in.
Fair to say, what really happened was, they just didn't give us passes.
Okay, well, my attitude is this.
If you're meant to be there, you will be.
If you're meant to be there, you will be.
And, long story short, instead of, I don't know, either you're waiting in line or you're not, I walked up to the front with some friends who were invited, and we all just walked in.
That was it.
And then we hung out at the party.
And that was it.
Nobody cared.
If you're meant to be there, you will be.
There was a... I'll just keep it simple.
When they told you to get to the back of the line, you stood there.
Well, here's the reality of things.
If... I'll put it this way.
If we are about to go on a rollercoaster, and I'm at Hershey Park, I got no problem waiting in line for the rollercoaster.
If someone comes to me and says, because you are a white man, we want you to move to the back of the line, you can't go on this roller coaster, one of two things will happen.
I will say, no, or I will leave.
And I say, look, I'm not going to wait and back.
That's how I operate.
Went to a diner.
Oh, it was so funny, I tweeted about this and the left lost their minds.
I was waiting at a diner near here with my girlfriend for breakfast, and they said, you know, have a seat, we'll get you in a few minutes.
A couple people walked in, and they said, right this way, gave them a table.
A couple people walked in, they said, right this way, gave them a table.
I said, excuse me, we've been sitting here for 15 minutes.
For what reason are you seating other people?
And they went, oh, sorry.
I said, you don't want my money?
Fine.
You don't have to have it.
I don't owe you anything.
You don't owe me anything.
Sorry I wasted your time.
And I left.
The left lost their mind over the story.
My attitude is this.
When I go out to eat, I tip 100 to 200 percent.
Always.
Everybody knows it.
All the restaurants know that we tip big.
Tip big.
You gotta do it.
You gotta take care of the people who are taking care of you, right?
And I can, so I will.
But if someone wants to be disrespectful, then you get disrespect.
Let me play the rest of the video.
unidentified
So did all of us.
Which makes you confused for some reason because you got what you wanted.
And they think that established women with financial stability are going to date them.
See, there's where you're wrong.
I'm gonna let you guess what this represents.
It's not our income.
And that's what happens when you say that this isn't fair, and then you use this to make this happen, and then you say that you're too good for everyone.
See, what I don't appreciate about this video is the blaming all women for what men did.
Women made demands, and men capitulated.
And then men complained later when the system got hard.
This lady wants a guy with money, and she can't get one.
I don't think you need an overly complicated reason to explain why this woman cannot find a man who makes money.
I'm going to lay it down for you.
Leonardo DiCaprio seems to have no problem at all at getting 24-year-old women.
And then, you know, see you later when they're 25.
Although I think he's recently broken that trend, but the man certainly loves his 22-year-old women.
Now why does this lady who says she's, I think she says she's like 40, she's like, I have never found a man with money!
Lady.
And my guy.
Okay?
The issue is not that women demanded money and power and booted men to the back of the line and men just had to accept it.
The issue is not that you, good sir Homath, were stuck at the back of the line.
The issue is, this woman does not bring anything to the table.
I love that.
And that's actually, I think, one of HomeMath's other videos.
What do women bring to the table?
They think that they are the table.
You are not.
There is a table for which people bring things.
What does your significant other bring to the table, and what do you bring?
And there's a mutual exchange.
And humans are a bit more than just market economics.
You know, emotion plays a big role.
Some women will bring literally everything they have and more for a man who brings nothing.
I see guys complain about this all the time.
They're like, he's some scuzzy guy with no job.
He just plays folk songs all day and his girlfriend works and pays all the bills, but she loves him.
I don't know.
What does he bring to the table?
That's just the way it is.
Sometimes.
I can give you a really simple explanation for this lady saying wear them with money at not interested in you.
I mean, I can make a bunch of reasons.
Uh, based on this video, you sound weird, you talk weird, you got a weird chin, and a big forehead.
Right?
I'm not trying to insult this lady.
I'm just saying, like, you're gonna make a video where you're like, why won't men with money?
Where are they at?
Uh, dating supermodels.
You know, like Donald Trump.
They get rich, and they have their pick of the litter.
And then, of course, there are other guys who have a chip on their shoulder who are angry, and they're like, well, you know, I'm not good enough for you.
You're not.
Dude, you're not good enough for her.
That's the reality.
I didn't say life was fair.
Life was easy.
And you might say, that's stupid.
No, I don't care.
I don't care what you think.
Life's not fair.
Never going to be fair.
Guys start life in the gutter.
Girls start life on top.
That is the nature of gender and sexual dynamics in the United States.
Because of the way humans evolved, evolutionary biology and psychology, there is a protection drive for women and men are expendable.
One man and 100 women can rebuild society.
I'm sorry, one man with 100 women.
But one woman with 100 men and your society is going to collapse.
You will likely not survive.
How many kids can you really produce?
Not enough.
Not enough to survive.
Thus, women are substantially more important than men.
A small handful of men can lead and protect a society, but women make people.
And that means women will always want the best, they will always demand more, no matter what.
And that means, over time, men will give to women, and women will still demand more.
Welcome to the nature of evolutionary psychology.
And then there are going to be men, always, who are at the bottom or the back end of the bell curve, who complain and say, the system should have been set up so that women can't make more money, so that I would be more desirable.
And if you're upset you don't have money, you didn't figure it out.
I don't know what to tell you.
There are different ways to solve problems.
There are different ways to become wealthy.
There are people that day trade.
There's a guy who bought GameStop at two bucks and now he's gonna be a billionaire or something.
I don't respect the argument that they told me to get to the back of the line so I did.
That's it.
You know, I'll clarify a few things.
Honor and integrity matter.
And I think initiative matters.
I don't like the idea that it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Because then you end up doing things that are unforgivable and then wondering why they were never permitted in the first place.
That being said, Some instances require initiative, and that's a reality.
I'll give you a quick story to wrap this one up.
Many of you may have heard, but I'll give you two quick ones.
So a buddy of mine is applying for a job.
I work at Vice, and I said, here's a guy I want to hire.
He's pretty good at what he does when it comes to all this tech stuff.
And they said, OK, have him email us.
He did.
He messages me and says, I'm not going to take the job.
And I said, why not?
And he was like, they're not offering me enough money.
What are they offering you?
And he was like 65.
And I was like, OK, would you do it for 85?
And he goes, no.
I said, 95?
And he goes, no.
And I said, would you do it for 120?
And he goes, Well, yeah.
I'd do it for $120.
And I said, so email him back and say you want $120.
And he was like, why?
They're gonna say no.
And I was like, okay, then you don't get a job you didn't want in the first place.
And so what does he do?
He mails him back and says, I appreciate the offer.
At this time, I'd be interested in taking the position at a minimum salary of $120,000 a year.
And they said, unfortunately, it's not in our budget, but we appreciate it.
Have a nice day.
End of story.
Dude comes up to me and he goes, your buddy wanted six figures.
And I was like, yes, that's right.
He did.
And he was like, yeah, we're not paying that.
And I was like, he's like the only person in the world who knows how to do these things.
And he didn't want to work here.
So you've got to pay what he's worth.
Welcome to business, my friends.
That's the issue.
Someone says, get in the back of the line.
Why is it that women got paid less?
Because they'd say, I'll give you 65 for it.
And they'd go, okay, I guess.
And guys go, nah, I want 200.
And they'll be like, 200?
I went to a meeting with NBC a long time ago.
This was 10 years ago.
No, this is longer than 10 years ago.
This is 13 years ago.
And they were like, can we hire you to do what you do and teach our people?
And I said, you know, 500,000.
And they went, well, we can't do that.
And I was like, then you don't get it.
Bye.
Have a nice day.
And then I go to Vice, I go to Fusion, and they all will tell you to get in the back of the line.
And I just say, nah, I'm not interested.
I'm gonna figure it out on my own, with or without you.
You're gonna get me what I want.
If you want it, you'll pay for it.
Tell me a serious number.
That's just the reality, man.
I got bad news for you guys.
There's a viral photo of this dude who's got like a weird face.
And he's super ripped!
And then he's got a picture of him with this really cute girl and he's like, guys, just start lifting, it works.
There are these dudes that are average guys that don't improve themselves, don't solve problems, don't know how to figure things out, and they get mad at the system.
Scream at the world all you want, I don't care, the world's not fair, never will be.
So to make this video and to say like, well women got all these things and I didn't, yeah, I literally don't care.
I view this stuff of women making demands, it's like, welcome to the brave new world, my friends.
Natural selection is and always has been the case.
If you're a man, you're fighting bears and you're dying in wars.
Why?
Because women are going to be safe at home, protected, and doing whatever they want to do.
That's nature.
That's life.
And now there's a lot of things to be mad about.
No fault divorce.
A family court siding with men all the time.
It will never be fair for men.
It will never be easy for men.
That's it.
Make all the videos you want.
Complain on the internet all you want.
That's fine.
I agree with most of the complaints.
But at the same time, have you begun lifting?
And it's funny because I say lifting and people are like, Tib, you don't even lift, bro.
I'm like, well, I started doing a little bit.
My point is exercise.
Improve yourself.
Read.
Solve puzzles.
Every day, when I skate, I must do something new to improve my skills in a quantifiable way.
This is how I live my life.
Every day I say, what am I doing that makes me one day better than I was yesterday?
What are you doing?
Make all the videos you want.
Complain all you want.
Point out these problems.
They're legitimate problems.
I agree.
But I ask you this.
What have you done today To make yourself a better version of yourself from yesterday.
Start with that, and in a year, you will be a Chad.
You will be wealthy, successful, ripped, healthy, etc.
Maybe not in a year.
But the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
