tate brown ▲ ● ▼		What is up, rumblers?
		It's me.
		I'm back.
		Tim is healthy.
		It's all good.
		Tim is healthy.
		No need to fear.
		No need to be calling uh for FOA requests to make sure the government doesn't have him captive.
		He is healthy.
		He's good.
		Uh, but you know, we're we're we're moving things around.
		There's so much happening here at Tim Cast.
		There's so many events.
		We have these live events.
		We have this the uh boonies skate events.
		There's so much going on that he asked me today to hold it down for the Thursday live show.
		And I'm like, you guys know who I am at this point.
		I think it'll be I think they'll be okay with it.
		Are you guys okay with it?
		I I hope so.
		If not, you know, maybe just let me operate a little bit, let me cook.
		I've said this before, I've made this plea.
		Um, you know, I see some of you holding your your your mouse above the X button.
		You're about to close out, and I don't I don't think that's right.
		I think I think you should say you should enjoy the show because we have huge, huge show today.
		We have some really, really big stories.
		I mean, the big one, and uh it it it just dropped like right before the show.
		It was report, the Daily Wire actually was first on it.
		I think they were the first on it.
		Is the DOJ is looking to ban transgenders from owning guns.
		Um I don't know if you are much of a news junkie, but uh as you've seen recently, they're not the most responsible gun owners.
		Um it's a huge problem.
		We'll we'll break it down a little more.
		We also have Gavin Newsom, the love affair, the love affair, uh the Democrats love affair with Gavin Newsom is getting a little weird.
		It's getting getting a little creepy.
		Um the glazing's a little out of control.
		So we're gonna get into that as well.
		We also had this report that the Trump uh Trump advisors are discussing giving uh Curtis Slewa, Eric Adams, New York mayoral candidates, thinking about giving them the gig in the White House to get him out of the way.
		So we'll break that down.
		We'll break down the status of Zoron, Mayor Zoron.
		It looks it looks like it's gonna be Mayor Zoron.
		So this is this is you know a nice effort from the White House to you know try and mitigate this as much as possible.
		And we're gonna be joined at the half hour mark by Viva Fry.
		He's gonna come on.
		We'll we'll discuss the uh the DOJ um consideration, deliberation, whatever you want to call it.
		We'll discuss that a little more.
		It's gonna be a really, really good show.
		So you guys are in for a treat.
		Uh so yeah, with that, I am your host Tate Brown holding it down today for Tim Poole.
		I think maybe Tate Thursday, that could be a good that could be a good potential name.
		We'll workshop it.
		I have a suit on.
		I don't know.
		I mean, you know, I don't know if that's a little too much for uh for a noon live show.
		For a Thursday show or a Thursday, you know, like you know, it's not like I'm working at a bank or anything.
		I was gonna go to Nat I've been at Natcon this week.
		Um I don't if a few people said hello at Natcon.
		Um so it's really great to meet everyone.
		Um so I think I might pop by later today.
		We'll see.
		But uh yeah, I've been at Natcon and uh a lot of great people there, a lot of great speeches.
		I would recommend checking their Twitter feed to see uh the status of conservatism in America.
		We're actually seeing some really good, really good stuff coming out of Natcon's great.
		A bunch of high IQ patriots there.
	Uh but yeah, with that Tate Thursday, we'll see him.
	I don't know, maybe maybe it'll be a thing.
	I don't know.
	Are you guys okay with this?
	I think that I think that'd be a lot of fun.
	Make it a thing, a Tate Thursday thing.
	So we'll see.
	I've producer Surge in the cut.
	He's holding it down, the GOAT.
	We you know him, you love him, Serge.
	He's the best.
	So uh with that, let's get into it.
	But first we have our monster monster sponsors.
	You know it, you love it.
	Cast brew coffee, the best.
	Are you low energy?
	Are you a low energy panickin?
	I don't know.
	Maybe maybe you need a little Casper down the hatch.
	Maybe that'll maybe they'll get you locked in.
	We got some great stuff.
	Unfortunately, the Alex Stein Primetime Grind is sold out.
unidentified		Oh, really?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		It's sold out.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		It says right here, you know, it is what it is.
unidentified		But show last week.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		It's true.
		Yeah.
		As you can tell, it works.
unidentified		Yeah, it clearly works.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		It clearly works.
		Uh so with that, that that's indicative of the quality of the Casper brand.
		Yeah, that it can just really elevate the human experience as an amplifier, an upper, if you will.
		Um disavow.
		Uh, with that, we have Appalachian Knights.
		This is a fantastic.
		This is my go-to blend because it's as dark as pitch.
		I mean, it is you know what they say.
		When you go black, you can't go back, right?
		This is what they say, specifically with when it comes to coffee.
		Um, this is true in other regards as well in my life.
		Um, I won't get into that.
		You know, this isn't a therapy session, but I definitely definitely rings true with coffee, and I'm willing to admit that.
		I am a black, black coffee enjoyer, black coffee matters.
		We also have the 1776 signature blend uh from the Josie special.
		We have a lot of great stuff here.
		We have a we have a low acidity blend.
		Which one is that, Serge?
		Which is the low acidity?
unidentified		Uh it's Ian's graphene dream.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Ian's graphene dream.
		This thing's like a smash hit.
		I I say it all the time.
		It's true.
		Is I was stunned, stunned at the live show to see that stuff just flying off the shelves.
		People, I mean, it looked like it looked like a FEMA camp.
		People are diving over each other.
		They're fighting Charlie.
		I saw one guy get a s he bought a skateboard just to hit Charlie over the head with it to get some Ian.
		I mean, it was absolute pandemonium.
		It looked like like Hurricane Katrina over there.
		It was crazy.
		So luckily you can just buy it online.
		I don't think the people there realize that.
		You can just buy it online.
		We will just mail it to your house if you buy it.
		It's really not that complicated.
		So uh get you some Casper.
		We also have Boonies.
		We Boone's is you know, Booney's stock is really high right now.
		I'm not gonna lie, you know, the boonies is taking off.
unidentified		We saw a lot of skateboards.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Sold a lot of skateboards.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		The skate event was sick.
unidentified		Yep.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		And this is me.
		I'm a layman, right?
		I don't know anything about skating.
		You know, I mean, I've been known to watch, you know, little Rob Dear Deck every here and there, you know.
		I've been known for that.
		But uh beyond that, you know, and a little Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 was, you know, that was instrumental in my life as a classic, a surge says.
		But um, yeah, I don't know.
		I mean, you know, it's it's been just sick to like learn.
		I'm just learning firsthand.
		And the skate event was amazing.
		You gotta go over to the Booney's YouTube, and I think it's on Rumble as well, but I know for sure it's on YouTube to check out the skate event.
		It was really, really cool.
		They they played games of skate.
		It's kind of like horse, but for skate tricks.
unidentified		Next one next week.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Next one's next week.
		There we go.
		So just lock in.
		I mean it's fantastic stuff.
		And head over to Booney, shop.booney's hq.com and grab you a board.
		You know, and we talk about it all the time.
		There's some great boards.
		We have the uncancelable board.
		If you know the story, you know the story.
		Uh we're reclaiming this logo because it was cancel culture.
		It was one of the first victims in the skating world of cancel culture.
		And we have the B-Gay and Don't Be Gay Boards.
		Obviously, Milo has some uh interesting thoughts on on these on the selection that you have an option.
		So it's uh it's really a beautiful thing.
		A lot of great boards on there.
		So head on over to Booney's and get you aboard.
		Just do it, man.
		This is great stuff.
		And 55 bucks for just a high, high quality board.
		Even if you're not a skater, it could be like a wall ornament.
		You know, it's a beautiful thing.
		Anyway, with that, I digress.
		Let's get into the first story.
		This was Mary Margaret Olahan reported this.
		I think we got her last name right, Olahan.
		Breaking the Justice Department is deliberating banning guns for transgenders as part of a range of options blocking mentally unstable individuals from committing acts of violence.
		The Daily Wire has learned.
		Story to come.
		She followed up with a little more info here.
		Uh, I'm told that a senior DOJ official said discussing the matter, quote, we're not playing semantics with word like dysphoria.
		We're talking about it's YouTube friendly, transgenders, and we don't think they should have guns.
		And it's so true, and it's so base that a senior DOJ official is saying this because it is so true.
		Uh as we saw, I mean, look, you you you saw it last week.
		I mean, it was really, really tragic, tragic thing.
		I actually covered it on the show.
		Horrible, horrible stuff.
		And again, this happened again.
		This is ha this is now this isn't just a one-off thing.
		This is a pattern of mentally disturbed transgender people uh taking it out on just good normal, normal people taking their pain and and and and their anger and their dysphoria and inflicting it on the public.
		We got to nip it in the bud.
		There's this is this the the patients ran very thin, and uh, it's just I think we're all relieved to see that the DOJ is doing something about it.
		I mean, this was this was last week, obviously, uh a refresher was the uh in Minneapolis, obviously a transgender uh it was a man.
		He was born a man and he still is a man, and his bones will indicate that he's a man.
		He went to a Catholic school or a Catholic church that was hosting uh mass that was attended by uh kids from the local school, the Annunciation uh church, and and fired through the the stained glass and and killed people and maimed people, uh children.
		Horrible, horrible stuff.
		Shocked the conscious of Americans um to some degree.
		We're also kind of used to it and desensitized, but uh, we're starting to realize now in the Trump era that you can do things about this.
		You don't just have to take this stuff lying down.
		This was yesterday, this was from the post-millennial.
		LGBTQ, whatever activists protest JD Vance as he and Usha visit Minnesota.
		Usha's the second lady, uh pay respects to Catholic school children murdered by trans killer.
		I'll read here.
		Uh Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance visited the Annunciation Catholic Church and school on Wednesday, which one week ago was the site of a mass shooting that saw the deaths of two children after trans-identified gunman Robert, quote Robin Westman.
		Uh, that's his moniker, uh Robin, his name's Robert, uh, opened fire on the school's first mass of the year.
		The Vance's were seen laying flowers outside the building among a sea of other bouquets and arrangements, while Usha Vance wore black and JD Vance making the sign of the cross as they stood together.
		Obviously, JD Vance is a Catholic.
		Um, so this, you know, hit close to home for him.
		I believe they're raising their children Catholic as well.
		So, you know, I've spoke to a lot of Catholics over the last week and um and Christians in general.
		Um, just really disturbing that you're you can send your kids to school and not know if you're gonna see them at the end of the day.
		It's really just horrifying times we live in.
		Um I'll play a little of the video here of of the uh vice president and and second lady arriving.
		Um obviously with the the flowers to to pay to pay homage and and mourn the victims.
		Um we see here right and you see here obviously the the arrangements uh up along the the sidewalk here, and there's other shots, and there's just it's everywhere.
	There's the community obviously it's just shattered, heartbroken.
	Um it's just horrific stuff.
	And uh, yeah, so this is obviously a really somber but touching um moment.
	Obviously, this is something that is is there's a degree of sacredness and and seriousness and somberness.
	Um, but of course, and we see here there's there's some more coverage from the uh from the event.
	Um the two students lost were eight-year-old Fletcher Merkel and ten-year-old Harper Moiske.
	Um, rest in peace.
	But, of course, with the left and their fantastic optics.
	Here we go.
	Outside the church, protesters were heard shouting, quote, you're a coward, protect our kids and do better at Vance.
	And the group was seen flying a pride flag.
	So the flag of the group that was obviously um one of their people, um, perpetrated the shooting.
	We'll we'll we'll play the video here.
	This is from uh Dustin Grage.
unidentified		Protect our kids!
unidentified		Better better!
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		So it's just like what?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		It's absolutely mental.
unidentified		Dude, the plot is gone, man.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		I mean, look at these freaks.
		Look at these people.
		They they will not let these children rest in peace without inflicting and imposing their it's not even political.
		It's just like it's another form of mental instability without inflicting this on the public and inflicting this on Vice President JD Vance, as he's simply there to pay respect.
		There's nothing political about his um, about his, you know, showing up.
		I mean, that's just what you what you do.
		I mean, like I said earlier, I mean, he's a Catholic, so this especially hits close to home for him.
		Uh here, Vance wrote after his visit, quote, I just left Minneapolis where I was honored to meet with a number of grieving families and hear about their beautiful children, in particular Harper and Fletcher, who died in the Annunciation school shooting.
		I also met another beautiful girl who is recovering well.
		Thank God, thank God for that.
		Um, we discuss a lot, but all the families had a couple of immediate requests.
		First, to pray for Sophia, who continues to fight for her life every day.
		Yes, please pray for Sophia.
		Pray for her health, pray for her swelling to be controlled, and pray for the strength for her parents, doctors, and nurses.
		There's these beautiful children here that are no longer with us because of um our enabling of this mental uh mental disorders as a society.
		So horrible, horrible, horrible stuff.
		Um, he said that there is a quote mental health crisis in the U.S., noting that Americans, quote, take way more psychiatric medication than any other nation on earth.
		And I think it is time for us to start asking some very hard questions about the root causes of this violence.
		So if you saw the show Thursday, we had a what I'll call I'll say a mental health expert, right?
		Um, Naomi Best, she's fantastic.
		She's she's been on the culture war before.
		And I mean, she really is.
		There's not many people that are more um in the know on this kind of stuff that are bold enough to actually say what's happening.
		There's a lot of people that know the industry, right?
		But a lot of them have uh biases that uh want to sort of reinforce the system and reinforce the status quo.
		Naomi is not one of them.
		She's very um clued in on what's going on here.
		And she she reiterated this.
		I mean she, you know, obviously she's a bit hesitant to to make these bold, you know, like uh wide spread uh declarations, but she definitely laid out um the problem in a very in a very great way.
		So I would recommend it's on the uh the rumble show from Thursday, or if you're watching elsewhere, it's on YouTube at on the Culture War channel.
		And uh yeah, I mean the psychiatric medication, I mean, they're handing these things out left and right.
		Uh, you you just need a pulse really to get a prescription for these kinds of things.
		She she even uh she even explained the situation where people are able to get these things online, right?
		Like that's it's it's just absolutely out of control, and it's frying Americans' brains.
		And beyond that, now the DOJ is is is doing something about it, right?
		I mean, this is always the crisis the critique from the left, and this is what of course every, not every, but the majority of Democrats were saying.
		Um, you know, uh Jacob Frey with his name, the the mayor and uh Waltz, they get up and they say, Oh, thoughts and prayers, what is that gonna do, right?
		We want to see action.
		The problem is we actually know what to do, which is investigate these psychiatric medications being distributed in mass, and you know, and also the DOJ now saying maybe it's not a good idea for mentally unstable people with a very high rate of suicide to have guns.
		True.
		Um what gave it away?
		Yeah, what gave it away, right?
		And um so yeah, so it's like, okay, thoughts and prayers.
		We're offering thoughts and prayers, which is ultimately the most important thing because that is, you know, prayer is a very powerful tool.
		But in addition, we're actually implementing, we're implementing solutions, providing solutions, and this is one of them, and this is something that'll nip this uh crap in the bud um to a large degree, is uh get these guns out of these people's hands.
		They're just clearly mentally and uh mentally unstable.
		And look, I understand there's a lot of second amendment purists out there that are very skeptical of any sort of um any sort of you know legislation involving guns.
		It's totally understandable, and they have the right to be skeptical.
		I mean, the last 30, 40, 50 years even um the government's relationship with the 2A community has obviously been quite frosty.
		Um they like to create pretenses to um establish uh gun control and and punish um well-to-do gun owners.
		But I would make the argument that this is not the case.
		This is not targeting well-to-do gun owners.
		This is targeting people that quite frankly should be institutionalized.
		People that are institutionalized don't have access to guns.
		And uh, if we can't quite get institutionalization for these people across the finish line, this is a good start, right?
		This is this is just a step in that direction, is slowly taking away the tools that they use and the in the in the mechanisms that they use to inflict harm on Americans.
		Because, you know, I pointed it out last week.
		You just have a lot of people in this country that have nothing to lose, and we just have to sit around and twiddle our thumbs waiting for one of them to snap, which seems to be happening more and more.
		It's what happened last week in in Minneapolis, is one of them just decided to snap one day.
		We need to get serious about it.
		And so it's very refreshing to the DOG DOG.
		The DOJ is deliberating this, and I I do think um, I do think that this is they wouldn't let this get out, right, unless they um you were were serious, we're serious about it, as they should be, as they should be, because those two children would would likely be with us if there was uh if as a country we took this transgender madness um a bit more seriously and and and rightfully so nip this in the bud, as I said earlier.
		So with that, we'll we'll stay tuned, right?
		I mean, maybe we'll get a we'll we'll get some uh action.
	We'll get like a release from the DOJ or statement of some sort of sort of what their plans are, how they'll implement this.
	Again, like I said earlier, um, if you're a 2A and so am I, right?
	I mean the 2A should not be touched, shall not be infringed, is you know, it's clear.
	Um, but we need we do need to institutionalize these people, and right, this is this is what part of the institutionalization is gonna look like.
	Um this is this is what you gotta do what you gotta do.
	You can't let mentally unstable suicidal people possess weapons when they clearly say over and over again that they just want to harm you, right?
	They just want to harm you.
	You don't you don't give someone a weapon when they openly say that they want to harm you again.
	If you doubt that, look at the reaction on Reddit to this shooting, and you're not gonna see thoughts and prayers.
	You're gonna see quite the opposite.
	You're gonna see celebration Um and joy.
	So uh grim stuff.
unidentified		Yep.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Grateful for the DOJ that they're they're taking a look at this and heavily considering it.
		And uh the senior DOJ official, whoever you are, very based, keep up the good work.
		But with that, we'll shift gears to our second story.
		Let's get into this one first.
		Let's get into this one.
		This one's this one's really interesting.
		This was uh the postmillennial uh reporting here.
		Breaking Trump advisors discuss giving Slewa and Adams admin jobs to clear path for Cuomo win report, and I'll read here.
		This was Hayden Cunningham of the uh postmillennial.
		President Donald Trump's advisors have discussed the possibility of offering New York City mayor Eric Adams a position in the administration as a way to reduce the chances of Democrat Socialist candidate Zoran Mamdani winning the city's upcoming mayoral election, according to the New York Times.
		The talks have also included the idea of giving uh Curtis Lewa, the Republican candidate, um, a spot in the administration.
		This move would be aimed at boosting former governors Andrew Cuomo's chances against Mamdani by clearing the field.
		Um the Times reported that discussion within the Trump circle about such a plan goes back weeks.
		While it remains uncertain what the plan will be moving forward, the issue has gained urgency as the New York City mayoral race heads into its final stretch before the November election, which is rapidly rapidly emerging.
		I don't think people realize it's right around the corner.
		Um November in general, there's a lot, obviously, midterms.
		Uh Trump intermediaries have been in touch with Adams' team about the possibility of him dropping out of the race.
		One source said that talks were going in, quote, several different directions.
		Trump associates have also spoken about whether Slee would be interested in a federal position, despite his long history of saying he has no interest in working in DC.
		Um obviously, some of New York's real estate executives expressed concern over a potential Mamdani victory, fearing that he would bring in an anti-business policies in the city.
		However, Republicans in DC are warm on a Mamdani victory, believing it could help paint the Democratic Party poorly leading up to the midterm elections.
		Um as if the Democrat Party has like excellent PR right now.
		This is just this would be just a self-imposed L. There's Democrats love Mamdani, right?
		That like half the country is whether you like it or not, is gonna warm up to this guy because that's just the way the media machine works.
		They're gonna it's about shifting the Overton window in the same way that Trump and the Trump admin are able to shift the Overton window to the right.
		Guys like Zoran Mamdani are able to shift the Overton window within the Democrat Party to the left.
		All that's gonna happen with a Mamdani victory is it's just gonna create more room for people like him in the Democrat Party.
		That's all that's gonna happen.
		You're not gonna have this mass awakening where people realize that oh, he's these policies don't work.
		Because it's not about the policies, it's about what he signifies.
		It's what it about what he um sort of what he uh sort of what message he sends, broadly speaking.
		So, I mean, I it's just that's just a self-imposed L, really.
		You you gotta you gotta set the tone with these types of things.
		You can't you gotta take, I mean, and I've said I've made this point before with New York.
		It's like, look, New York City's changed.
		Cuomo really um epitomizes 20th century New York, right?
		You know, Italian, uh, you know, kind of more old school Democrat in some ways.
		You know, he's from Queens, has a very thick New York accent.
		And then you have Zoron, who just by his accent alone could be from anywhere in the country.
		His name is ambiguous, right?
		Even you know, people have no idea he's from Uganda, but he's Indian, people know what's going on.
		It's just a lot of vague, he's just vaguely not American.
		Um that's the only way to really put it.
		And uh there's a lot of people like that in New York City in the 21st century.
		Half half of Queens, New York, uh, Andrew Cuomo's home borough and Donald Trump's home borough, are foreign-born.
unidentified		Half.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Half.
		I mean, New York City has dramatic.
		Look, you know, people say, okay, it's always been a hub of immigrants.
		Um, really, that's only been the case in the 20th century.
		It is a heavily transplant city, so I mean you have immigrants and you also have transplants around the country, so it does have a lot of churn to it.
		But New York had a very identifiable culture, had a very identifiable ethos and and and the way and um way it carried itself.
		Um, as Donald Trump pointed out, you saw what those New York values were on 9-11 when you saw the brave men of the FDNY and men and women of the FDNY charge up the towers.
		Um, that really epitomizes what New York values are.
		But it's looking increasingly so that that's what New York values were.
		If you take a walk around Queens or even Brooklyn, and at this point it's looking like this way in Manhattan, is you're gonna see more and more Zorons, and less and less Andrew Cuomo's, unless unless Donald Trump's for that matter.
		I mean, Donald Trump's home neighborhood, Jamaica States.
		I actually lived um in Jamaica States when I attended school in Queens.
		Uh nothing resembling what Donald Trump grew at grew up in.
		Um, there's been a huge, huge churn of people there.
		Um, and it's not a good thing, it's not a good thing.
		You're you're it's it feels increasingly foreign, increasingly less American, and the the stock of immigrants that came to New York City previously came, you know, there's problems, right?
		I mean, you had the mafia, organized crime, these sorts of things, but generally they were it was much easier to assimilate assimilate them, right?
		They were coming from Italy, Ireland, they were coming from you know, Eastern Europe, Germany, Trump himself, um, his grandparents on his father's side are German, and his mother was an a migrant from Scotland.
		Those it's someone with that background is gonna have a much easier time assimilating to the United States, which has this European culture to it, and uh and Christianity as its religion, than a guy named Zoramdani from Uganda who who knows what his religion is, but you know, it's neither here nor there.
		He's Muslim, I think vaguely Muslim.
unidentified		Vaguely.
unidentified		Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		So um he's probably one of those guys, you meet meet these Muslim guys, and they uh, you know, do everything under the sun, you know, knock back a corona, but then if you offer them some bacon, they you know come unglued, right?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		So brother.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, one of those guys.
		Um if you look, if you've been in a city in the last 10 years, you you've met a lot of these types.
		So um polling, not looking great.
		Mamdani up, double digits, just about every poll you look at.
		Siena has him at 44%.
		Um the American Pulse researching uh has him at 37.
		So he's not he's not anywhere near 50%.
		So, right, I mean, I see you can see you can see the calculus that the White House is running here, right?
		Which is okay, you get it, you get Cuomo out, you get Slee out, you combine or sorry, you get Sleewa and Eric Adams out, chuck that 28% of Cuomo's that gets you above 50%.
		That gets Cuomo across the finish line.
		But I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you're gonna have the same problem in four years.
		You keep Zoran out.
		It's like New York City's changed, the country's changed.
		Um, Jack Pasobic, he talked about this at the NAT Con convention I spoke about earlier, um, which is a great convention.
		I'm just gonna I'm just gonna play this was a really good soundbite from him.
		I'm gonna play um his thoughts on Zoron and why this isn't just a one-off thing, like he just kind of happened to slip through the cracks.
		I'll play a little that Jack explain this.
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		The propaganda, it's everywhere, and it's very simple.
		But we can see when a great city like New York, our greatest city, is on the precipice of being run by a Zoran Mamdani.
		I think we realize that something has gone absolutely wrong and something has to give.
		Because as I stand here today, we are less than 10 years away from one of America's great cities being run by a Muhammad.
		We know it's coming.
		We can call it out, and it is time to say enough is enough.
		Something has to give.
		These people are not American, they do not want to be American, they do not want to assimilate, and they are not interested in assimilation.
		And I say if they don't want to be part of this country, they can go home.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		So true.
		So true.
		That was really concise, excellent way to put it.
		And it's true, it's like if you if you doubt this, if you if you are part of the way of uh the way of thought that was outlined in the post-million article, which is well, you know, it'd be a good way to teach New York a lesson.
		Like this is what you get.
		And it's a great way to show you know the American electorate how crazy the Dems have gotten.
		Ask a British person, ask an Englishman how that worked out for him because London, they elected Sadiq Khan, right?
		I don't know how brushed up you are on British politics and UK politics.
		They got this guy in into London.
		You know, London's had some lefty mayors, but this guy's more than a lefty, Sadiq Khan.
		He's a ethno-nationalist for for foreigners, vaguely.
		I mean, like, okay, he's Muslim, right?
		He's of Middle Eastern extraction, but he really just goes to bat for anyone that's not English.
		That's the reality of the situation.
		If you look at his rhetoric and the UK, like for example, when London had a spree of huge terrorist attacks, every single time he would come out and he wouldn't say this is terrible.
		Like as Muslims, we need to we need to have a conversation about the radicalization in our community or whatever.
		He came out and would just run defense every single time and say, like, oh, why are People being so mean to Muslims, like we need to be nicer to them.
		You know, they're under attack, they feel victimized.
		It's like we feel victimized because you just completely took over a city.
		I mean, just look at uh look at a demographic breakdown of London over the last 70, 80 years, and you're gonna see it go from like Bill Maher talked about this.
		Bill Maher talked about on the 70s and 80s when it was like almost entirely English, um, and to an extent Irish.
		Uh he talked about how it was just a completely different city, and he he used food as his metric to see how the city's changed.
		Um, usually these diversity lovers, food is really their only talking point they have is say, well, you get more food options.
		Um, but I think when people are getting stabbed on bridges and blown up left and right, you know, a kebab can only do so much to uh to uh calm the nerves uh with that sort of thing.
		And New York City's looking down the barrel of the same thing again.
		New York City's had some lefty mayors, there's no doubt about that.
		Bill de Blasio was you know effectively a socialist, he's certainly a Marxist and in his thought.
		But this is a different breed.
		This is a different animal with Zoran because he views Americans, Americans that have been here, Americans that are here, he views them as an enemy, and he views them as um sort of uh a roadblock for what he's trying to create, what what his sort of new new Americans are trying to create, the new America they're trying to create, which just won't be America at all.
		It's just gonna be the third world, um, infused with some Marxism and and Islam or whatever.
		But it's just it really is just anti-American.
		That's all it is fundamentally.
		Um so yeah, I mean totally agree with Zoran is uh what Jack on Zoran is this shouldn't just be a moment of like let's rally the troops and keep them out.
		This should be a moment of introspection and a moment where we look nationwide, have a nationwide conversation on what sort of people are we bringing to this country and what are we allowing?
		And it's the same thing, the same conversation with the DOJ.
		It's like, what are we allowing to happen?
		Because you know, principles, it's good to be principled, there's no question about it, but a certain moment when your country's facing extinction, when America's facing uh facing a complete change.
		Um we need to have a national conversation.
		We need to, like Jack said, realize that something has gone absolutely wrong and that something has to give.
		So with that, I'm gonna wrap up this first portion of the show.
		Thank you for watching.
		If you're watching on YouTube, uh the interview with Viva Fry will be up on the Culture War channel at 4 p.m.
		Again, thanks for watching.
		We'll be back tonight for Timcast IRL at 8 p.m.
		Connor Tomlinson's on the show.
		I'll be on as well, but you gotta hear Connor.
		If you don't know Connor, he's an absolute legend.
		He can probably explain.
		He's a Londoner, so he can explain what Sadiq Khan's done, and he can uh give us some forewarnings um on what Zoran, a little preview of what Zoron's in New York would look like.
		So thanks for watching.
		We'll be back for Timcast IRL.
		Appreciate it.
		With that, you know, I'm getting better at that segue.
		I don't know, Tim makes it look easy.
		We're getting there, we're getting there.
		But uh, we're gonna get into the interview portion of Viva Fry.
		I do want to open up with this article from the Hill.
		Newsom is becoming this is from the Hill.
		Newsom is becoming an obsession for Democrats beyond California.
		Democrats have become obsessed with Gavin Newsom as the California governor becomes the topic for operatives, donors, and lawmakers.
		Um, with the 2028 presidential election, is still more than three years away.
		Newsom is making the kind of name for himself that could lead to front runner status political operatives say.
		Uh Democrat strategist Jamal Simmons said Newsom's name is coming up more than anyone else's in recent weeks, particularly with people outside the political sphere.
		They asked me two questions.
	Do you think he can win?
	And do you think he can be the guy?
	Simmons said.
	No one ever asked me a single policy question about him.
	So it's very vibes-based.
	Trump, of course, was clowning on him.
unidentified		Exaggerating the question.
unidentified		I said that I received in the mail a Trump 2028 hat from one of his biggest supporters.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		These guys are not so warning shot from Trump, but does indicate even even in the White House, they are starting to see Newsom as potentially the front runner for the Democrats, which would be great, I think.
		Newsom's pretty easy to beat.
		Um, he's just shot up in polling or in uh in prediction that betting market.
		He's at 35% now.
		Um, so he's just completely crushing the field and the betting side.
		Um, and even in polling, he's he's surging.
		Um, you see here in in red, his polling is completely shot up over the last few weeks.
		Now he's on par with uh with Kamala Harris, who it's unclear if she's gonna run.
		Um look, Newsom might be the guy.
		So I I think we should bring in Viva.
		I think he might have some thoughts on this.
		I think he could break this down further.
		I'm also gonna ask him about the uh the DOJ report that we got.
		Um, I'd be curious to hear his thoughts on that as well.
		So we're getting him in the room here, we're getting him situated.
		Um, let's see here.
		Surge is punching, punching buttons.
		That's what he that's what he does.
		He punches buttons better than anyone else, anyone else.
		It's fantastic stuff.
		Um, Let's see.
		Is he in here?
		I see a black screen.
unidentified		Yeah, just give me one second.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		So I don't know if he's in that.
		Maybe he's in the room.
		These things are always tricky getting these getting these interviews situated.
		It's part of uh part of doing things remote.
		Um Viva, how are you doing?
		Can you hear me?
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Here yeah, how you doing?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Hey, how's it going?
		Well, thank you for joining.
		I mean, everyone, everyone's gonna know, uh everyone's gonna know who you are, I would say, but just for people that maybe don't, could you give a quick introduction to who you are and what you do?
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		I gotta make sure my hair is in order.
		I didn't like my makeup person is out today.
		Uh Viva Fry, David Fryheit is my real name for anybody who thought it was Viva, former Montreal litigator or Quebec litigator, now living in Florida.
		Uh, legal analysis commentary and uh following the madness of the world on a minutely basis.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Legend, legend, the VFI the legend.
		I'm just glad to be talking to you.
		Uh want to open up with with I was reading a report from the Hill, and not a report, a story from the Hill.
		Newsom's really starting to take a decisive front runner um position here with the Democrats.
		I mean, there was a Democrat strategy, Jamal Simmons, he came out and he's saying everyone he's talking to is Newsom, Newsome, Newsome.
		And uh you look at the betting market, I mean, he's really just up.
		Uh he's uh he's like 20, 30 per uh percentage points ahead of everyone else.
		And then in polling, he surged recently.
		I mean, Trump fired off a warning shot this morning.
		I don't know if you saw where he had the the Trump 2028 hat on Newsome.
		But the fact that he's firing off a warning shot indicates that even within the White House, there's the view emerging that Newsom might be the front runner for 2028.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what you're seeing.
		It's astonishing just the caliber of candidates on the left.
		Like you say, if it's not gonna be Newsom, who who else is it gonna be?
		I mean, like I I take even just plausible candidates, it's not gonna be Pritzker, it's not gonna be Whitmer.
		Uh, it's sure as hell isn't gonna be Hokel.
		Uh, who's it gonna be?
		AOC?
		Like it's either a Newsom or some people who are even more radical.
		But the the irony, Newsom is is a failure.
		He's an abject failure.
		And so it's nice, you know, he's he's charismatic if you like used car salesmans.
		Uh he's got experience if you like failed politicians.
		And so you know, but but when I was studying philosophy in uh 25 years ago, I took a class called Philosophy of Jazz.
		And they actually we we studied how people get conditioned to like music that's not even good.
		It's basically how everybody likes pop music.
		It's conditioning.
		You see it every day, you get to know it, you become familiar with it, and then you sort of brainwash yourself into thinking you like it.
		That's what they're doing with with Gavin Newsom.
		That's what he's been doing by doing these podcast runs.
		He's clearly got the aspirations going.
		He's adopting Trump tactics on Twitter, but just the irony, he's he's a horrible failed politician.
		I don't know if he's as corrupt to the core as as the others are, but immoral, uh, and just an abject failure.
		So let him run.
		The only alternative is someone who hasn't had time to fail in government, like an AOC, although she's had her time to fail as well.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
		I mean, the one thing that scares me is 45% of the electorate voted for Kamala Harris.
		So I do think to a degree we underestimate the foolishness of the American electorate.
		Uh, someone like Gavin Newsom, I mean, I like I know the resume's horrible, obviously, but when the media machine kicks in, uh someone like Gavin Newsom, he can polish things up pretty quickly.
		Americans have short memory.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Uh it's I I wouldn't even say that they're you know the electorate is stupid.
		It's it's they it's tribalism.
		Hopefully, it's getting a little bit better that people have been exposed to it, but you know, not everybody lives on the internet like we do.
		Not everybody knows uh Gavin Newsom forget the affairs, but not everybody knows, you know, Gavin Newsom running on ending homelessness.
		And so, you know, they they just don't know people are living their lives, and they you know they see blue, and that's who they vote for.
		And it doesn't matter who it is.
		Uh I I ran uh for the People's Party of Canada in Westbound NDG and in in my riding in Canada.
		I I swear to you, if if they didn't see that it was a dog, they would have voted Winston for Prime Minister, uh, you know, Winston for the Liberal Party.
		Yeah, uh, because it's just they don't care, not in a negative way, uh, but also branding.
		They're gonna see they're gonna see uh uh uh a charismatic, slick, well-dressed, you know, healthy looking Gavin Newsom.
		And it's all branding.
		If they turned Kamala Harris into the you know, a 50-50 candidate, uh Gavin Newsom's been around longer for good and for bad, but yeah, no, it it it's branding, it's conditioning, and people will vote for blue no matter who.
		It's the old expression.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, I'm I because I've been kind of pushing back on the idea that uh a lot of people in the GOP circles are discussing this with Zoran, for example, in New York.
		Um, they're saying maybe we should just let him win because it could be an example to the rest of the country of how crazy the Democrats are.
		But I'm sitting here thinking, I'm like, I think Zoron, if anything, he just he just pushes the overton window within the Democrat Party further to the left and just gives permission for these more moderate people to adopt more radical policies, because someone like Zoran can sort of redeem his image quite quickly, especially because I mean he does have a degree of of charisma to him.
		I mean, do you think there's any credence to this theory of like, well, maybe you should just let him win to Well so to see if it gets bad enough?
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Uh no.
		I mean, I say you you fight politically tooth and nail um because you give them an inch, they'll start fighting from that point going forward.
		Um what's amazing though, even with with Zoran is how quickly people who are unfamiliar with his prior statements that they'll never know about them, but how quickly they can rebrand the guy into being something of a more centrist as opposed to the radical that he is.
		Do you follow Keir Starmer on Twitter by any chance?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Uh I don't follow him, but I see him too much, unfortunately.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, but the amazing thing is like Keir Starmer, literally overnight, and it's fitting that he's British, like out of 1984, flipped his script.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		He says now he's now he's anti-immigration, closed borders, uh, you gotta speak English.
		This is a man who has been the most radical activist supporting multiculturalism invasion of the UK.
		And overnight he flips the switch where anybody who hadn't been following him from before, it that all gets erased.
		Zoran is almost doing the same thing now.
		And it's the danger of these duplicitist uh socialist progressive, uh, ultimately very duplicitous uh politicians.
		They pretend they didn't say what they said in the past, they get into office, and then they implement that and then some much like with the uh uh what was it, uh defund the police.
unidentified		Sure.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		It was like, oh no, no, nobody's saying that.
		Okay, people are saying that, but it's radical.
		All right, now we accept it.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Right.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		And so it's gonna be the same thing with with Zoran if he gets into office.
		No, I'm not that much of a radical.
		I just want common sense, uh, you know, uh transit ambassadors, and then a year later, you are literally living in a 1984, everyone is spying on everybody, uh, Orwellian landscape.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		Well, I mean, like you said with Keir Starmer, I mean, you know, he's touting the the wonders of diversity, and he's like, okay, sure, people get stabbed and blown up, but you get kebabs, it's fantastic.
		And then he then all of a sudden, like overnight he flips and he gives this speech where he calls uh the UK an island of strangers.
		I mean, it sounded like a page out of an Enoch Powell speech.
		I mean, it was like, whoa, this is crazy.
		And uh the media over there bought it.
		And you know, you're starting to see Gavin Newsom adopting somewhat of a similar playbook in Zoran.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no, it's it's is Gavin is ignoring the fact that if first of all, I I don't trust the stats coming out of California, period, but you the the demographic stats in terms of who's leaving California versus who's going to California, you you can't falsify those.
		Or at least it's more difficult to.
		Crime stats, if people stop reporting, uh they stop convicting, they they can change, you know, Asian to Caucasian and then jack up one stat versus another.
		Um, but he he's an abject failure, a disaster of a governor.
		And I, you know, I think they say between the AOCs who doesn't even have that much of a track record to have been a failure yet versus Gavin Newsom.
		I can see politically, they say, well, we'll take a Gavin Newsom because at least he's got a track record of failure that we will then be able to hammer home.
		But people don't even listen.
		I mean, people are gonna go, Gavin's gonna go do the podcast, he'll go on call her daddy, yeah, and uh they won't talk about his his failures.
		But uh, he's he's he's clearly he's got the the strategy, he's adopting it, and it's it's obviously what he wants because he's a power-hungry uh sociopath.
		And I say that as a armchair psychiatrist.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		No certification.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, I mean, there was a report in the New York Times either this morning or last night that the White House is considering offering gigs to Eric Adams and Curtis Sleewa, the GOP candidate to basically just get him out of the way.
		So that way Andrew Cuomo has a actual has a shot at at dethroning Zoron.
		And uh Jack Pasobic, he he had a speech this morning at at Natcon where he was just saying, look, the thing with Zoran, it's it's one thing just to try and get him out of office, you know, prevent him from holding office, but you're gonna have the same problem in four years.
		He's saying, Jack is saying we need to have a conversation of how are people like Zoran even getting created.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		It uh I mean the irony is you're gonna have either a mass murderer, uh and I consider Cuomo hyperbolically to have been a mass murderer for what he did during COVID versus an aspiring mass murderer because that's what socialists and communists are.
		These are the two best candidates.
		I don't like Cuomo, period.
		I'd rather I'd rather see everyone uh put their weight behind Chris uh Chris, Eric Adams.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Uh, because I I think he's a more uh oddly enough, he his realignment has been more organic.
		It's not like a flip of the switch like Keir Starmer.
		Uh he's a more reasonable person.
		I would love to see him throw his support to the to the Republicans.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Um and I think there would actually be more.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		I say this, I'm not, I'm not sure that it's accurate, but I uh because I just can't understand how anybody could support Cuomo, period.
unidentified		Right.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Literally a man responsible for 10, 15,000 deaths, then weaponize those deaths to try to blame it on Trump.
		The man should be in jail, not back in office.
		So if it's between Zohan and um Cuomo, I mean, it's it's the devil or the devil.
		Pick your own.
		Eric Adams has gotten reasonable.
		So I think he just needs to uh either you know go more independent but align with the right, or you know, go full throated and see what what New Yorkers are are prepared to tolerate, because their options are are bleak with those options.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Eric Adams is fine because he's clearly just a very simple guy, right?
		Like you see these Zoran and Andrew Cuomo, like there's these total ladder climbers, like cutthroat, they'll say anything to get elected.
		And then Eric Adams is like every time he gives a speech, it's like he has no idea what he's gonna say, and then he's just like floating ideas in real time.
		It's actually kind of refreshing to see someone like that because they don't really exist in politics anymore.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Well, I I never liked uh Eric Adams plant-based stuff.
		I'm convinced all of that is is more unhealthy than you know the a full carnivore diet.
		But you know, with Adams, it was it was policy.
		He was sort of on the virtue signaling um uh landscape when it came to immigration, diversity is our strength, yada yada.
		But then the economic realities of the policy sunk in, and he appreciated that it's nice to want to do good, but you have to be able to support your own children before you can have more.
		Um he's come around on his policies, and I think he would actually be uh of the three, obviously the best, who's the guy with the Barette.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Kurt Slewa.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		I don't know enough about him, but I do know that I think people are right about you know who am I to judge someone for what they look like?
		Um, Eric Adams has come around in an organic way.
		And I think he would be the best leader.
		So I don't know how to make it happen, but people who are voting for Zoran, they're the same people who were voting for Justin Trudeau in 2015, right?
		And split I voted for Trudeau in 2015, not because I liked anything about him, but you know, first of all, I knew nothing.
		You you you only are paying attention to 30 seconds you know commercials you see on the uh on TV at the time.
		Sure.
		And uh you you if you don't know um even what to look for, you're not gonna know anything.
		And so it they're young, they're uh idealists, and they see in Zoran a young newly arrived immigrant, or at least you know and and then they're they're gonna feel good voting for him, even though they have no idea what policies he's exposing and how it's actually gonna destroy New York as anybody knows it now.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, it's interesting that the White House is considering that it shows that the White House, this is this is a different ball game compared to previous GOP administrations because they're not afraid to go on the offense to address these issues that Americans are concerned about.
		I mean, Americans don't want to see our largest city fall into the hands of uh insane kind of third world, third worldist Marxist like crazy person.
		And and with the same regard, I would there's a story that the the Daily Wire actually is reporting this morning on where the DOG the DOJ is uh deliberating, potentially just outright banning transgender individuals from from owning guns.
		I don't know if you've seen this story if you're familiar.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Well, I I was gonna I Twitter's a weird place.
		You don't want people thinking you're taking shots at other people.
		No, no, I I knew from that headline that all that the DOJ was contemplating was applying mental illness criteria to the um ownership of firearms, and they were going back to the traditional definition of gender dysphoria being a mental illness and whether or not it should be one of the mental illnesses that precludes a citizen from owning a firearm.
		I you know, I I'm following it.
		I I uh in as much as there are disqualifying mental illnesses, you don't want uh, you know, psychotic schizophrenics owning firearms with delusions of reality.
		Look, I you know, you can understand where the argument goes when it comes to what is was, and as far as I'm concerned, should always be a diagnosable mental disorder of gender dysphoria.
		Yeah, the argument people are gonna make is they once diagnosed homosexuality as a mental disorder.
		And and And there is a fundamental difference between homosexuality and transgender uh dysphoria, which is homosexuality, you are who you are attracted to, someone who's the same sex.
		There's no there's no separation of reality from body.
		Gender dysphoria fundamentally is a mental illness in the sense that uh someone has a different perspective of what they want to be reality versus what reality actually is.
		And so to compare what might have been at one point diagnosed as a mental illness unfairly to that which is objectively a mental illness by any definition of the term, not analogous, and so they can set that argument aside.
		Um, the bigger concern is going to be this is one big step towards red flag laws, where they're gonna say, okay, if you haven't been diagnosed as transgender, but you have certain sexual gender, you know, predilections, whatever, someone calls in the authorities, say, hey, that guy's transgender, he owns a firearm.
		Or are they gonna ask you about your gender ideology on um an application?
		It's one thing to go to a doctor, but are they gonna say, do you identify as trans?
		Well, those are exactly questions we don't want people asking right now, period.
		So it's a double-edged sword.
		I see where they're going with it.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Um, I mean, like someone just crushes the notes of a Michael Jackson song in their car and they just say, Oh, he's trans.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		You know, there's something going on there and they come after you and take your gun, you know.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		It's it's what it's the it's the issue we had.
		I mean, even with schizophrenia with other men diagnosable mental illnesses that people would say, yeah, you shouldn't own a gun.
		It takes a disgruntled uh ex-wife or something to say he he's he's an undiagnosed crazy person, go get his guns.
		And then lo and behold, you have like Joe Biden type FBI raids where people are getting shot.
		But um it's interesting.
		The administration definitely is bolder in what they will um contemplate as talking points, even if they don't make policy of it.
		I think the underlying issue here is from the military perspective, they said, look, gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and it might disqualify from certain types of service.
		Well, you know, I I can appreciate where they're going with the extension of this argument, especially in the wake of what we've been seeing now in in the states, and you know, to a to a certain degree also up in Canada, it's just that you know when people who uh identify as trans, whatever commit crimes, uh, at least in Canada, it it tends not to be with guns quite as much.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		But um, we're having that, we're having that same problem up in Canada now.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, you saw you saw yesterday JD Vance visiting JD Vance and his wife, Usha, visiting the uh the site of the shooting, you know, the pay the respects and that sort of thing.
		And he had a quote that was quite interesting where he talked about how we need to have a national conversation around some of these, you know, psychological medications that people are taking.
		Um, I had Naomi Best on the show Thursday, who's you know, a mental mental health expert, really, and she she broke down sort of these how easy it is to access a lot of these these medications and these sorts of things.
		And you kind of wonder if the DOJ maybe should take a more of a look at that, because I mean, like you see, like you talked about the disassociation that occurs with transgenderism where you know you're removing sort of your body or you're separated, putting a rift between your body and your mind, your soul, that sort of thing.
		Um, a lot of these, a lot of these site psych uh psychiatric drugs do something very similar.
		And huge we've seen a huge ramp up and and uh and prescriptions for these sorts of things.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean uh the admin is already heading that way, RFK coming out and saying, look, you you guys want to focus on the guns.
		Uh I I think we should talk about the SSRIs.
		It's not an if anybody who I've never taken them, period.
		Full stop because I'm I'm absolutely neurotic about what it might do.
		When I was a kid and I used to suffer from migraines, a doctor said, well, we'll prescribe you a low uh uh what's it called, the things that like a type sedative, like an advantage thing.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		I said it's for uh it's for uh migraine.
		It's like, well, that you know, it relaxes you, whatever.
		It's like I don't want to take anything that tinkers with the the brain chemistry.
		Um these SSRIs, there's a reason why on the on the uh side effects, it says, you know, it might increase the risk of suicidal ideations because A, it's you're you're messing with brain chemistry.
		And it's one thing to say, like they know what it does, they don't know what it does, but they know it does certain things.
		Uh you're messing with brain chemistry.
		Some people who have depressive thoughts don't act on them uh because they lack the uh motivation for lack of a better word to do it, then they get on these these medications and they finally have the motivation to do now what they have wanted to do or have been contemplating doing.
		So you know, it increases the risk of these in a substantial amount of people.
		And the amount of kids that are jacked up on these things, and I can tell you this from my own experience now with the public schooling system, it's insane.
		And so it true.
		You know, someone who kills someone with a gun, necessarily they used a gun.
		But uh what is what is causing this issue now, it's it's what's new versus what's not new.
		Whether or not guns have gotten more sophisticated, guns have always been around, and they these shootings didn't exist 50 years ago, period.
		SSRIs have not existed for 50 years to the extent that they do now.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		And so you just gotta you gotta look at where the problem might actually be occurring.
		Uh, but the normalization of mental illness in today's society, and not just normalization, but uh the glorification and glamorizing of it.
		Uh, you know, we've we've literally entered the era of idiocraphy where you don't treat mental illness, you affirm mental illness, and that is exactly how you make it exponentially worse.
		And we're seeing the consequences of it everywhere.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		And it's you know in the in the states, they, you know, uh the left wants to go straight to the gun issue.
		You look up in Canada, we've got a number of very, very prominent, outrageous situations where I I don't even think the guy in in Quebec was bona fide trans, but a man murders his wife and two kids, uh, says he's trans, and then there's a debate as to whether or not he gets to stay in a woman's facility.
		Uh the the other story that just happened up in, I don't know if you heard about this, uh, up in Welland, Ontario, uh you know, a psychotic individual uh sexually uh assaults a toddler by breaking into the neighbor's house, and on his Facebook page it says uh she him.
		And so, you know, I don't think these are bona fide cases of transgenderism.
		I think it's actually psychopaths now exploiting this movement.
		But what we have now is not just uh you know a normalization of mental illness, but an absolute glorification of it, where you get people copycatting mental illness because it creates some sort of social protection.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		Yeah.
		I mean, it you're you're seeing just you're just seeing this general, um, you're seeing this general decline and and people people just aren't thinking clearly.
		I mean, JD Vance, when he was there laying laying flowers, is you had a group of of pro I would say protesters, I guess is what you I don't know what you would call these people just harassing them, saying, you know, oh, do something about this, like you're a coward, these sorts of things.
		And you see that, and it's horrific and grim because we're we're talking about children here.
		And from most of the mainstream left, you know, pund class and even the politicians, is there's almost an endorsement, a soft endorsement of holding these politicians accountable.
		And it kind of gets back to our conversation of the the direction the Democrat Party is heading in.
		It's like that kind of stuff is not only palatable, but it's like it's emphasized, it's it's emphasized to um sort of behave this way within the Democrat Party.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Who wouldn't like it?
		I mean, who on the uh the end of what they consider to be the oppressed uh spectrum of of the world would not love this?
		Where victimhood is the currency, normalizing of what would otherwise be things that you'd have to work on and treat and overcome.
		Now you don't have to.
		Now you get to be celebrated for it.
		And from the political perspective, what what is easier for a politician to do than uh you know, basically cater to uh the the whims of the electorate without having to you know do anything uh meaningful.
		And watching the RFK hearings this morning, like you you have uh the this party claiming to support the science when what they're doing is the antithesis of science in in every respect, but it's p it's not just politically palatable to many, it's the easiest way to garner support by just saying it's okay, you're good, and and and uh you know, we'll affirm will affirm you as opposed to the tough love that good parenting requires.
		Right now you have bad parenting in government, which is bad government, not under the Trump admin, which is you know, the tough parents, but that that's that's been the MO of the Democrat Party for the last as long as I've been politically conscious.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		And I mean, that's a great way to put it.
		And you're seeing this tension in the Democrat Party where the guys that know how to win elections, the strategists are just pulling their hair out, saying, okay, we need to moderate.
		We we we have to moderate.
		This has gone too far.
		But the base of the Democrat Party wants more and more.
		They're saying these guys aren't left-wing enough.
		I mean, I even see people nipping at Zoran's heels saying, Oh, you shouldn't concede on like police and that sort of thing.
		And it's like, yeah, you're just seeing this massive rift between strategists and and and the base.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		I mean, well, you you can you can never you can never placate people who want merit without the work.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		I mean, that's the the more you give, the more they're gonna uh I don't know if avares is the word in English, it's just gonna be greed, rapaciousness, like the the more you give those who don't deserve it or who haven't earned it, the more they think they're entitled to it, and the more they're gonna demand in the future.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Uh But no, it it's I, you know, I'd like to say it's gotten bad enough.
		We're sort of reached the the pinnacle of the insanity.
		I I think when you when you started promoting not just as as normal but as morally required men and women's sports, I think that's when it started turning for a lot of people.
		But, you know, uh as it says like the when you fight corruption, corruption fights back, and the very vocal minority that have hitherto been getting their way simply by being a vocal minority, when they stop getting their way, uh they're gonna get more vocal and uh more radical in their in their tactics.
		And and that I think unfortunately is what we're seeing at the political scale, is these these radical minorities getting more radical, more vocal, and uh more violent and more destructive.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		I mean, you you see this way the way politics operates because the Anglosphere, I mean, obviously the United States does its own thing.
		They run, they run there, we're vaguely the same culture, but the United States often bucks trends.
		They're very clear right now.
		We have a very right-wing um administration.
		But to a degree, like they do track in certain ways, you do see some commonality.
		And you saw in Canada where it with Trudeau, it was just basically as bad as it could get.
		And all it took was was just stirring up vibes a little bit, an anti-Pierre vibe, who is clearly the competent choice to get Carney through the door.
		I mean, it's like I know Canada is obviously not you know directly comparable to the United States, but it's very there's a lot of similarities, and it's like I I could see a situation in the United States where like, yeah, short-term memory, um, people vote on vibes, and we get a similar situation that you saw in Canada.
		I mean, it it's it could very easily happen.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		No, but for sure, and like and incidentally, in any realm of the universe, when you're talking about you know the the lefty radicals getting more violence in any other realm of the universe where on you know July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, the the dude doesn't miss the shot.
		We're in Kamala Harris Canada 2.0 on steroids.
		Um and it is it is amazing politically, you know, by the by the national zeitgeist, Canada is out there with Australia.
		England seems to be pushing back a little bit now, but I don't I think it either is too little too late or just not enough right now.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Right.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Uh America has always been the beacon and it's always been the exception.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		But it's only by an actual miracle that it's where we are where we are now, because in any other realm of the universe, um that day turns out differently and the history uh goes down the I mean goes to hell in a handbasket.
unidentified		Yeah.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Um but no, it what is what is crazy is just Canada is the living example of what happens when state-funded media has no meaningful opposition from what we call alternative media.
unidentified		Yeah.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		It's it it people don't really appreciate it.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Why Pierre Poiliev lost that election, it's due in large part to his own political cowardice.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		But it's it's due also in large part to the monopoly that legacy media has over the minds, the hearts, the souls via the media up in Canada, state-funded media that you know it amplifies or doesn't what it wants to amplify and ignores or suppresses that which it doesn't even want to give breathing air to.
		And that's basically what they did to Pierre Poiliev, and he didn't do himself any favors.
		But uh, you know, at least in America, there's a vibrant populist movement.
		There's a vibrant popular a vibrant populist base and meaningful alternative media that I dare say is you know has a broader reach than the legacy media.
		You just don't have that in Canada.
		You don't have that in Australia.
		Yeah, you don't really have that in the UK.
		And you can see how it very it's very, very easy to control and manipulate entire swaths of people when you have basically a monopoly on information.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		I mean, that you hit the nail on the head there.
		Well, Viva, I mean, I imagine the majority of people know where to find you, but for those who don't who want more, where where can people find you?
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Well, I made it into a daily mail article because I was mildly critical of the uh I was highlighting the the Epstein uh missing minute yesterday, which I I I need someone to tell me if if the guy in that missing video minute was the guy who was one of the two um prison guards that was sanctioned over their negligence.
		But either way, I'm on the internet, Viva Fry.
		If you Google it, you'll find me.
		I'm live on Rumble at three o'clock daily.
		That's my time in the time slot.
		Uh Twitter is the Viva Fry, because there's some Russian dude who had Viva Fry from way back.
		And uh Viva Barneslaw.locals.com is our uh locals community, and it's one of the best communities out there.
		So those are all my socials.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, awesome, Mr. Fry.
		Thank you so much.
		We'll uh see you next time.
viva frei ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely, thank you for having me.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Sir, Well that was Viva Fry, the legendary Viva Fry.
		It's so good to have him in there.
		Give us thoughts.
		Um, yeah, I mean, uh painting that picture of of you know where this could go, where if the what avenues the left has to regaining power, that's not a prediction.
		That's certainly it's a nightmare, obviously.
		But um that's to say is we still are on a razor's edge, right?
		With the Trump administration, so much promising things happening, obviously.
		It is the most right wing administration, certainly of my lifetime and people far older than me's lifetimes.
		But I it it does pay I just want to illustrate how quickly um like I said earlier, you can't underestimate the um the uh incompetence of the American electorate, right?
		This is a country that almost half voted for for Kamala Harris.
		So we're we are we still are on a razor's edge.
		We can't take our foot off the gas, especially with the midterms coming up.
		You just can't, you can't you can't get complacent.
		You always need to be aware of threats and these sorts of things.
		So that's what I was interested in.
		So thanks thanks to Viva.
		That was excellent.
		Um yeah, with that, I think we'll wrap up here.
		Um I've been your host, Tate Brown.
		You can find me on X and Instagram at RealTate Brown.
		We'll see if Tate Thursdays becomes a thing.

		But uh with that, be here for Timcast IRL tonight at 8 p.m.
		We have Connor Tomlinson, Tim Poole will be hosting, so don't worry.
