| What is going on, Patriots? | ||
| Happy Tuesday. | ||
| This is Tate Brown here holding it down for your Tim Cast News live show. | ||
| We've got a great show for you today. | ||
| We are taking you into the afternoon of our Rumble morning lineup, but that means nothing to me because I'm in Las Vegas, so it is still the morning. | ||
| We are waking up at the butt crack of dawn to get this show ready for you guys. | ||
| And it's exciting. | ||
| Vegas has been really cool so far. | ||
| I'd never been here before. | ||
| They're calling it Sin City. | ||
| They're calling it Lost Wages. | ||
| There's a lot of different nicknames for the town. | ||
| I'm enjoying my time so far. | ||
| I'm really enjoying the strip. | ||
| It feels very Blade Runner. | ||
| I don't know if you guys get that vibe, but it's very Blade Runner. | ||
| I was checking out the New York City mini. | ||
| New York City is really something. | ||
| It took me back to my time in New York City. | ||
| With that, we have some monster stories for you guys today. | ||
| We obviously have the aftermath of the Bondi beach shooting. | ||
| This has sent shockwaves throughout the political scene all across the West. | ||
| Obviously, this is in Australia, but it's become a centerpiece of American political discussion. | ||
| There's no question about that. | ||
| And we have multiple Republican congressmen, as you can see by the title, not just calling for a Muslim ban, but calling for the expulsion of Muslims from the United States. | ||
| Something tells me that's going to be a very popular policy with Americans. | ||
| So we're going to get into that. | ||
| That's going to be wacky and wild. | ||
| We also have a lot of drama around Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles. | ||
| There was a piece that came out in Vanity Fair late last night discussing, well, breaking down these interviews that she gave to the outlet. | ||
| And Susie Wiles has responded this morning saying this was a hit piece. | ||
| She was taken out of context. | ||
| That, look, there's a lot of mischaracterizations. | ||
| We're going to get into that. | ||
| We're going to discuss the reaction to that. | ||
| My question is, why are we even talking to Vanity Fair in the first place? | ||
| That's neither here nor there. | ||
| We have some drama regarding the Warner Brothers bidding war acquisition. | ||
| Obviously, Paramount and Netflix are engaged in a bit of a scuffle regarding the acquisition. | ||
| We're going to get into the drama, why that matters for the sort of political scene. | ||
| And finally, we have the Rob Rayner. | ||
| We have updates on Rob Reiner. | ||
| There's a new piece in the New York Post that dropped this morning that the, well, Obama was meeting with him, apparently, the night where he was killed. | ||
| It's neither here nor there. | ||
| We'll get into all of that. | ||
| And we have some excellent, excellent stories. | ||
| And we will be joined at the half hour mark by the great Rudyard Lynch. | ||
| He's going to give his thoughts on the proposed Muslim ban. | ||
| So we're going to see how that goes. | ||
| But with that, let's get into today's sponsors for the show. | ||
| Obviously, we have Boonies. | ||
| You know it. | ||
| You love it. | ||
| Boonies. | ||
| This is fantastic stuff. | ||
| Let me adjust the framing here. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Unbelievable, unbelievable gear over here at Boonies. | ||
| We love Boonies. | ||
| Welcome to our store. | ||
| Look how friendly they are. | ||
| How many stores welcome you? | ||
| You know, this is like AI replacing the, you know, the front desk. | ||
| You're saying, is everything all right? | ||
| And you're saying, I'm just looking around because you just don't want to talk to anybody. | ||
| That's typically how that goes, even though you desperately need help. | ||
| You desperately need some assistance. | ||
| You don't know where anything is in the store. | ||
| Someone finally comes and says, can I help you? | ||
| And you say, no, I'm just looking around. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Boonies, they put it up there anyway. | ||
| They put the banner. | ||
| We love boonies. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| The be gay board. | ||
| Don't be gay, but we've buried at the bottom. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| There's some sort of propaganda going on here. | ||
| We need to have a word with whoever's running this store. | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| Boonies, boards. | ||
| We got stickers here, some fantastic bumper stickers. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Look, oh my gosh, black, white, something in the middle. | ||
| Yellow, possibly. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| We have t-shirts. | ||
| You can get yourself a t-shirt, get some swag, some grip tape. | ||
| I mean, look, if you're not a skater and you're buying grip tape, you should be on a list. | ||
| I'll put it that way. | ||
| That's a little alarming. | ||
| But with that, we also have Casper Coffee. | ||
| Oh, my gosh, Casper. | ||
| I'm still hopped up. | ||
| I've been chugging a lot of caffeine to get adjusted to the Pacific time. | ||
| And I'm shaking like a rattlesnake, I guess. | ||
| Like, I feel like I'm in a rock tumbler. | ||
| I'm like jittering and freaking out. | ||
| I might just like have a heart attack on the show. | ||
| We'll see how that goes. | ||
| I have two animals, two wolves inside of me right now. | ||
| I simultaneously have probably 500 milligrams of caffeine in my system. | ||
| And I also have two upper deckies, two Zens thrown up in the luxury boxes right now. | ||
| So those two are competing, really going at it inside my body. | ||
| It's like a civil war. | ||
| Tim's been talking about civil war for years. | ||
| Well, I am a physical civil war. | ||
| I might die on the show. | ||
| There's actually a good chance that'll happen. | ||
| But even go to Calci and take a bet if I'm going to die on the show. | ||
| We'll see how that goes. | ||
| With that, Caspar Coffee. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| We got some fantastic blends here. | ||
| Appalachian Knights, you can get it ground or whole bean. | ||
| Really, I'm glad we're on Rumble so I can say bean. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| That's great, some great coffee here. | ||
| Let's go look at page two. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
| Here we go. | ||
| Ian's graphene dream. | ||
| Sorry, I'm going to be abusing that shot. | ||
| They just gave it to me. | ||
| That's like giving a toddler a loaded gun, giving me that side angle. | ||
| Like, that is dangerous, dude. | ||
| That was a mistake by the production team. | ||
| I'm going to be completely honest with you guys. | ||
| We also have Mary's Ghost Blend. | ||
| Really some spooky stuff. | ||
| I mean, I'm just like shaking like a freaking. | ||
| I got to come up with something for shaking. | ||
| I'm shaking like with something that shakes. | ||
| Like a chihuahua. | ||
| I'm like a little tiny chihuahua by an elderly Mexican woman. | ||
| I'm just shaking. | ||
| I'm like about to die. | ||
| It's really something. | ||
| So with that, we have some fantastic stories. | ||
| Let's get into the first story. | ||
| Bondi Beach evidence suggests shooting was inspired by ISIS, Australian Prime Minister says. | ||
| So this is an update on yesterday's story. | ||
| Obviously, some really horrific news over the weekend. | ||
| There was a lot of shootings, a lot of violence. | ||
| And obviously, I couldn't pontificate as much yesterday because the news was still coming in. | ||
| Now we're getting some more updates on what actually occurred at Bondi Beach. | ||
| And it's confirmed a lot of the speculation that was going around on X. | ||
| Yes, indeed, this was evidently the return of ISIS in many ways. | ||
| Obviously, ISIS had been a bit underground for a little while. | ||
| We hadn't heard much from them, but ISIS flags were found in a car linked to the suspects. | ||
| We'll read here. | ||
| This is from ABC News. | ||
| The alleged father and son gunmen who killed at least 15 people in a mass shooting at Australia's Bondi Beach traveled to the Philippines in the weeks leading up to the attack and may have been inspired by the ISIS terrorist organization. | ||
| Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, investigators are probing the months and weeks leading up to the Sunday shooting when the suspected gunmen, Sashid Akram 50 and Naveed Akram 24, fired at people taking part in a Hanukkah event. | ||
| Australian investigators and officials have described the incident as an anti-Semitic terrorist attack. | ||
| It would appear that there is evidence that this was inspired by a terrorist organization by ISIS. | ||
| Albanese, that's the prime minister, told reporters at a Tuesday press conference. | ||
| Some of the evidence which is being procured, including the presence of Islamic state flags in the vehicle that have been seized, are a part of that. | ||
| Radical perversion of Islam is absolutely a problem. | ||
| It is something that has been identified globally as a problem as well. | ||
| I would posit to the prime minister that this isn't even really necessarily a radical perversion of Islam. | ||
| This is just the natural sort of conclusion of Islam. | ||
| Again, you can just thumb through the Quran and you'll see lots of sort of indications that this could be the direction that you would go if you were to apply Islamic values to the furthest extent that are on offer. | ||
| One of the two alleged shooters was killed during the incident with the second injured. | ||
| Police confirmed to ABC News that the surviving alleged gunman, Sajid Akram, had woken up from his coma, but had not yet been questioned. | ||
| And then obviously they go in here. | ||
| This is the police statements regarding what's going on. | ||
| Here is the update on the casualties. | ||
| A New South Wales health spokesperson told ABC News on Tuesday that 22 injured people remain in hospital, six of whom are in critical condition. | ||
| 12 of the 15 deceased victims have now been named. | ||
| They include a young soccer player originally from France, a Holocaust survivor, and a 10-year-old girl. | ||
| So obviously some really horrific stuff. | ||
| Now, in the United States, again, this is in Australia, but United States, we've obviously experienced not just attacks at the behest of ISIS or the people pledging allegiance to ISIS, but really just from Islamic terror writ large. | ||
| Obviously, at the beginning of the year, we saw the attack in New Orleans, New Orleans, where the truck obviously plowed through Bourbon Street. | ||
| And again, this terrorist had Islamic affiliations. | ||
| And so, you know, in the United States, we've also been having conversations of how do we address this? | ||
| How do we sort of solve this issue? | ||
| This is via the Washington Post, via MSN. | ||
| Some Republican lawmakers call for mass expulsion of American Muslims. | ||
| Two Republicans in Congress are calling for the mass expulsion of Muslims from the United States following the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia over the weekend, amplifying an increasingly brazen Islamophobic sentiment within the party. | ||
| Again, I don't even necessarily think Islamophobia is even relevant because that is just an out-group. | ||
| It's a group that's intrinsically incompatible with American values. | ||
| Islam, it just does not, there's no overlap whatsoever. | ||
| So this isn't even Islamophobia. | ||
| This is just a correct identification that this group is just not compatible with Western values and it's being demonstrated over and over again. | ||
| I'll read through some of these Republican lawmakers who have come out and sort of given their two cents on the situation. | ||
| This was Tommy Tuberville. | ||
| He's a senator from the state of Alabama. | ||
| Islam is not a religion. | ||
| It's a cult. | ||
| Islamists aren't here to assimilate. | ||
| They're here to conquer. | ||
| Stop worrying about offending the pearl clutchers. | ||
| We've got to send them home now or we will become the United Caliphate of America. | ||
| Obviously, some strong language from Tommy Tuberville. | ||
| Again, he's a sitting senator from Alabama. | ||
| And it's true. | ||
| I would also, you know, I would support this. | ||
| I would say, look, the situation we're in as a country is that the United States is being radically overhauled from a demographic point of view. | ||
| And if you have to look at which groups are sort of the least assimilated within the United States, I think Muslims would come to the top of mind. | ||
| Again, Elon Omer, you really just have to listen to her talk for five minutes to come to that conclusion. | ||
| It's really just a disastrous immigration policy. | ||
| I would posit that this is really Islam. | ||
| Are we heading towards the United Caliphate of America? | ||
| When you look at the demographic breakdown of the United States, Muslims still make up like, what, 1 to 2% of the United States. | ||
| There are parts of the country like Dearborn, but pockets. | ||
| Well, it's really large swaths of Minneapolis and increasingly so in the DFW area. | ||
| You are seeing areas with strong, large Islamic communities that are sort of imposing their will on the local population. | ||
| Dearborn, rather, we saw the clip a few months ago where a Christian, you know, spoke up in their city council meeting and he was effectively ejected from the meeting. | ||
| So, you know, I think what's important, what's important framing here is I do agree, and I've said it, you know, earlier in the show, is that, look, Islam is an existential threat to the United States. | ||
| It is incompatible fundamentally with the United States, with American values. | ||
| I think American values are deeply rooted in Christian values. | ||
| The founders, obviously, all were Christian. | ||
| Again, some were deists, but they came from a Christian background. | ||
| They had a Christian ethic, these sorts of things. | ||
| John Adams infamously wrote that, look, the Constitution is only fit for a moral and religious people. | ||
| John Adams wouldn't have engaged with any other religion outside of Christianity. | ||
| And honestly, when you look at the founding, I mean, the most diversity you would really have in like religion-wise would be Presbyterians or maybe Baptists. | ||
| That was like as crazy as things got. | ||
| That's why they were so sort of hung up on religious freedom. | ||
| Why this was such an important thing for them was because they were used to the Church of England in England, obviously, imposing Anglicanism on the public. | ||
| And so when they were sort of thinking, when they were pontificating what religious freedom was looking like, they had like Quakers in mind. | ||
| They had like Presbyterians in mind. | ||
| They weren't really thinking Muslims, Hindus. | ||
| That wouldn't even have crossed their mind. | ||
| There was even like Islam was such a foreign sort of thing to our founders, to the colonial Americans, that it was a curiosity. | ||
| Thomas Jefferson infamously had acquired a copy of the Quran and he thumbed through it for a little bit and then infamously declared war on Libya. | ||
| I don't know if the two were linked, but he took a few pages in and said, okay, no, these people are crazy. | ||
| Let's go to war with Libya. | ||
| Okay, that's maybe a bit of a sort of retconning of what happened there, but there's some truth to that. | ||
| Again, it was such a curiosity that he would read the Quran and it was this really interesting foreign book. | ||
| It was not something that I believe he wanted to see meshed with the sort of American story. | ||
| We have a few more posts here. | ||
| This was Chuck Schumer responding to Senator Tommy Tuberville. | ||
| An outrageous, disgusting display of Islamophobia from Senator Tuberville. | ||
| The answer to despicable anti-Semitism is not despicable Islamophobia. | ||
| This type of rhetoric is beneath a U.S. senator or any good citizen for that matter. | ||
| You have to ask yourself, why is Chuck Schumer immediately running cover for like ISIS and an ISIS attack? | ||
| Because Tommy Tuberville was clearly directly addressing the incident, the attack in Bondi Beach in Australia. | ||
| Chuck Schumer comes out and he says, no, Islamophobia is not the answer. | ||
| Well, Islamophobia might have saved the lives of 13 people in Australia. | ||
| It's actually something that will probably save many, many more lives as we continue to see these Islamic terrorist attacks go unaddressed, really. | ||
| I mean, there's really no solution. | ||
| You're seeing these Western countries sort of propose these re-education programs, these assimilation programs. | ||
| The problem is like, look, when you come to the United States, you got to drop that out the door. | ||
| You got to drop these sort of ethnic religious quarrels and just become an American. | ||
| And this applies. | ||
| I mean, look, we're seeing with the Israel-Palestine situation, we're seeing an ethnic blood feud imported to the United States. | ||
| So obviously we're addressing Islam here, but I think there is something to be said about with Jewish Americans is that they also lobby heavily for the interests of Israel. | ||
| And I think that is equally, maybe not equally, but it is certainly an issue as well. | ||
| It's like, look, America needs to be prioritized here. | ||
| And if you're hung up and you have any allegiance to another country, that is also a problem. | ||
| And we don't need to be importing this foreign conflict to the United States. | ||
| We should be withdrawing from it and cleaning our hands of it. | ||
| I mean, it's just a total, total mess. | ||
| We have Randy Fine here, congressman from Florida. | ||
| He writes at length here. | ||
| He says, I'll read: A Muslim immigrant burning Holocaust survivors in Colorado wasn't enough. | ||
| A Muslim immigrant executing National Guardsmen in Washington wasn't enough. | ||
| Muslims attacking and killing non-Muslims in Australia wasn't enough. | ||
| 9-11 wasn't enough. | ||
| October 7th wasn't enough. | ||
| Now the FBI has announced they have arrested five Muslim terrorists who are planning a Muslim terror attack on New Year's Eve in Los Angeles and New Orleans. | ||
| This has to stop. | ||
| Diversity is not our strength. | ||
| Diversity has become suicidal. | ||
| It's time for a Muslim travel ban, radical deportations of all mainstream Muslims, legal and illegal immigrants, and citizenship revocations wherever possible. | ||
| Mainstream Muslims have declared war on us. | ||
| The least we can do is kick them, the HE double hockey sticks, out of America. | ||
| I want to highlight this line here specifically because this is actually, I think, the issue. | ||
| I think Islam is just downstream from the main issue, which is that we are really trying to fit a square peg into a circular hole here. | ||
| Diversity is not our strength. | ||
| Diversity is atomizing Americans. | ||
| Diversity is causing Americans to be skeptical of their neighbors. | ||
| They do not know who their neighbors are. | ||
| They came from a very foreign place. | ||
| There's no common ground. | ||
| It's been a complete disaster at every step. | ||
| You can go to a Costco and see what I mean, where Islam is a problem. | ||
| There's no question about that. | ||
| But there's also a problem when, like, Hindus come to the United States and they don't assimilate into, again, our Christian society. | ||
| They build these massive monkey statues in the DFW area. | ||
| It's all of this just completely out of control. | ||
| It's overhauling the United States as we know it. | ||
| We had Congressman Brandon Gill from Texas. | ||
| He's a representative from Texas. | ||
| Islamic terrorism is not native to America and it didn't come on the Mayflower. | ||
| It is alien to most of American history. | ||
| Yes, this is the reality of the situation. | ||
| Is again, like I said earlier, we are importing ethnic blood feuds to the West that have nothing to do with us, and these people refuse to let these things go. | ||
| It has been a complete, unmitigated disaster, and it needs to stop. | ||
| And this is why mass deportations need to be a priority. | ||
| We need to sort of restore America to something that is familiar, something that is familiar to Americans. | ||
| We all know what it means to be American. | ||
| That's why the question that was posited to Charlie Kirk was one of the last questions he posited before his passing was: What is an American? | ||
| That is a question that desperately needs to be answered. | ||
| This idea that people are just interchangeable cogs, this idea that people are just blank slates that can be overwritten with a pocketbook constitution, has just failed at every step, and it's continuing to get people killed all across the West. | ||
| We know what an Australian is. | ||
| Everyone knows an Australian when you see it. | ||
| I mean, Steve Irwin, these types of characters. | ||
| That is an Australian, not a guy with these ISIS flags in his car. | ||
| That should cause sort of people like Chuck Schumer to maybe take a step back and reprioritize sort of what's going on and who is what. | ||
| So, with that, we're going to get into our next story here. | ||
| I'm going to try and get through this somewhat quickly because behind schedule. | ||
| This often happens to me. | ||
| Trump top Trump, this is from the New York Times. | ||
| Trump's top aide acknowledges score settling behind prosecutions. | ||
| In interviews with Vanity Fair, Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, said Trump has, quote, an alcoholics personality, called J.D. Evance a, quote, conspiracy theorist, and concluded that Pam Bonnie, quote, completely whiffed the early handling of the Epstein files. | ||
| I'll read here: President Trump's chief of staff said she tried to get him to end his quote score settling against political enemies after 90 days in office, but acknowledged the administration's still ongoing push for prosecutions has been fueled in part by the president's desire for retribution. | ||
| Susie Wiles, the House White House chief of staff, told an interviewer that she had forged a, quote, loose agreement with Mr. Trump to stop focusing after three months on punishing antagonists, an effort that evidently did not succeed. | ||
| While she insisted that Mr. Trump is not constantly thinking about retribution, she said that when there's an opportunity, he will go for it. | ||
| Mrs. Wiles made the comment in a series of extraordinarily unguarded interviews over the first year of Mr. Trump's second term with the author Chris Whipple that are currently being published on Tuesday, or that were being published Tuesday by Vanity Fair. | ||
| Not only did she confirm that Mr. Trump is using criminal prosecution to retaliate against adversaries, she also acknowledged that he was not telling the truth when he accused former President Bill Clinton of visiting the private island of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| She did 11 interviews. | ||
| And again, when you go read the article, it's really just a jumbled mess of chopped up quotes. | ||
| Susie Wiles obviously put a statement out this morning addressing the Vanity Fair article. | ||
| Again, Susie Wiles is a very important figure. | ||
| Maybe she's not a household name, but she's a very important figure within the Trump administration. | ||
| She is the chief of staff. | ||
| So all administration hiring runs through her. | ||
| This is what she had to say. | ||
| The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest president, White House staff, and cabinet in history. | ||
| Significant context was disregarded, and much of what I said and others said about the team and president was left out of the story. | ||
| I assume after reading it that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the president and our team. | ||
| The truth is that the Trump White House has already accomplished more in 11 months than any other president has accomplished in eight years, and that due to the unmatched leadership and vision of President Trump, for whom I have been honored to work for the better part of a decade, none of this will stop this relentless pursuit of making America great again. | ||
| Russ Voigt, he put out a statement. | ||
| Obviously, he was named in the Vanity Fair article, Susie Wiles dragging him, evidently, in the Vanity Fair article. | ||
| So this is somebody that would be directly incentivized to sort of address and sort of jump on this dogpile on Susie Wiles. | ||
| He came out to her defense. | ||
| He said Susie Wiles is an exceptional chief of staff. | ||
| I've had the privilege of working in President Trump's White House for every single minute of his two terms. | ||
| And yeah, so he's calling it a hit piece. | ||
| This was the photo. | ||
| So the Vanity Fair, what they sweetened the deal for these cabinet members to get them the interview was doing these very glossy keynote photographs here. | ||
| This was the one that was put out in the Vanity Fair article. | ||
| The article wasn't that bad. | ||
| It's a very long. | ||
| There was two parts to it. | ||
| So I'm not going to, that's why I'm not going to read through the entire article that would take up the entire show. | ||
| This was Ben Braddock. | ||
| He clipped the specific part of the article. | ||
| And this is just solid. | ||
| This is really fine. | ||
| This is a good piece. | ||
| Here's what she said. | ||
| People talk about the deep state being at the State Department. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's a military-industrial complex. | ||
| That was her quote. | ||
| Heck Seth interview is just the guy to take on the powers that be. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She referred to HHS Secretary RFK Jr., another world-class disruptor, as, quote, my bobby, and quote, quirky bobby. | ||
| Again, it's true. | ||
| In Wiles' view, RFK Jr.'s shock treatment of HHS is warranted. | ||
| Quote, he pushes the envelope. | ||
| Some would say too far. | ||
| But I say in order to get back to the middle, you have to push it too far. | ||
| In December, Kennedy's federal vaccine panel voted to end the decades-long recommendation for newborn vaccinations against hepatitis B. | ||
| So they're trying to paint this like this is somehow scandalous, somehow controversial, but this is actually, I think, what MAGA voted for. | ||
| We got what we voted for here. | ||
| Yeah, we do want RFK to give HHS shock treatment. | ||
| People are completely disillusioned with the HHS following their treatment of Americans during COVID, where they were just going off of hunches and whatnot and vibes. | ||
| There was no scientific evidence for any of these applications that they were proposing. | ||
| I think people are very supportive. | ||
| would estimate that RFK would probably be the most popular candidate, or sorry, most popular member of the cabinet. | ||
| There's really no question about that. | ||
| So look, this is the problem here. | ||
| I'm not going to just glaze Susie Wiles. | ||
| Mark Hemingway, he put out this tweet. | ||
| Someday we will have to talk. | ||
| Someday we will have a Republican Party that understands it's never in their interest to talk to outlets such as Vanity Fair. | ||
| Today is not that day. | ||
| So again, this is whatever that Susie Wiles is coming out and she's denying. | ||
| Or she's saying this is a hit piece and whatnot. | ||
| My question is, why are we talking to Vanity Fair? | ||
| The Pentagon understands this. | ||
| I'm a member of the Pentagon Press Corps. | ||
| They understand that these people in mainstream media are not your friends. | ||
| They are not giving fair, balanced reporting on the affairs of the Trump administration. | ||
| They are seeking to destroy it. | ||
| They are adversarial. | ||
| The Vanity Fair is obviously a very core component of this pushback on the Trump administration. | ||
| So it's just bizarre to me that they thought that they were going to get accurate reporting that when people like Susie Wiles in their head that the Vanity Fair was going to sort of give an accurate analysis of what she said. | ||
| I don't know why they would ever assume that's the case. | ||
| Now, the thing is, with Susie Wiles specifically, there has been a bit of a knife fight in the Trump administration, reportedly. | ||
| That is the rumors on the Hill. | ||
| There was rumors last month that she was going to be stepping down or she was going to be ousted from her position as chief of staff. | ||
| It is worth noting, there's been a lot of critiques of Susie Wiles, specifically with her hiring. | ||
| A lot of people, again, this is just speculation, but a lot of people have said that part of the reason why Venezuela is at the top of the priority list for the Trump administration is because there's such a large component of the admin staff that comes from the state of Florida, not to mention that the Secretary of State, Mark Rubio, is not only from Florida, but is Cuban. | ||
| And if you know anything about the Florida constituency, specifically Cubans, they really have an axe to Granath Maduro. | ||
| Again, I would say it's fairly vindicated. | ||
| If you're Cuban, you came from a communist country. | ||
| It's unacceptable that in America's sphere, there is sort of these communist countries operating. | ||
| A country like Venezuela, obviously an adversary of the United States. | ||
| They're in bed with our global adversaries like Russia and China, Iran, etc. | ||
| But yeah, so Susie Wiles, she comes from Florida. | ||
| She has very deep connections in Florida. | ||
| She was his campaign director in the state of Florida. | ||
| She's, again, just a huge power player down in the state of Florida, which at this point is probably the most important state to the Republican machine. | ||
| And a lot of her staffing, she tapped her Florida network quite extensively. | ||
| And so this has received a bit of criticism from people within, with, or people on the right. | ||
| And there was these rumors. | ||
| So this was posted last month by Mike Cernovich. | ||
| He said, Brooke Rollins has been angling for the chief of staff for a while. | ||
| Most likely she is the one behind the leaks that Susie Wiles might be leaving. | ||
| He says here, to be honest, I'm burned out over the palace gossip. | ||
| The midterms are bleak. | ||
| No one seems to care. | ||
| That is sort of twofold, what's going on here in this tweet. | ||
| One, he is addressing something that is the rumor on the hill, and it has been the rumor. | ||
| It really kicked off around Thanksgiving, is that Susie Wiles might be on the way out, and Brooke Rollins would be the chief of staff. | ||
| Brooke Rollins was actually, I believe, Trump's top pick going in. | ||
| This was someone that was speculated. | ||
| The Washington Post had reported after Trump's victory that she was the favorite for the chief of staff position. | ||
| This is something, again, that Mike Cernovich points out. | ||
| She's been angling for chief of staff for a while. | ||
| She's been working her way up the ranks. | ||
| I think potentially she could be even vying to be a vice presidential pick down the road. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| That's just speculation. | ||
| Brooke Rollins would probably be a shoe-in for chief of staff. | ||
| She was her nomination, she passed in the Senate. | ||
| I believe it was 72 to 28. | ||
| So there wasn't much pushback on Brooke Rollins. | ||
| This is someone that she gets along with quite a bit of people. | ||
| And the reason that Brooke Rollins being chief of staff is quite a scary proposition, among other things, is she has been a large, in large part, a proponent of expanding our visa system. | ||
| So you're seeing the Trump administration seemingly flip-flop on visas quite a bit, at least rhetorically. | ||
| I mean, again, in practice, we haven't seen too much movement as far as expanding visas go, but you have seen rhetoric coming from the Trump administration regarding potentially expanding like the H-1B system or reforming it. | ||
| Obviously, the student visas with China received a lot of criticism, these sorts of things. | ||
| Brooke Rollins is actually a major player in these types of things. | ||
| She wants to expand the H-2A visa, which is basically a visa that allows farmers to employ foreign labor on their farms, again, to keep things running, make things a bit cheaper for them on the labor end. | ||
| She's been a huge component of the H-2A visa. | ||
| And so this is a little alarming. | ||
| If this is true, that this with the Vanity Fair piece, potentially this is being amplified by people within MAG, if there's a potential knife fight going on here, who knows? | ||
| I mean, I don't know if Brooke Rollins is behind, certainly if she was behind what Mark Cernovich is talking about, the rumors earlier that she was leaving. | ||
| But clearly Susie Wiles, there's some people on the right that want her out. | ||
| And there's no question about that. | ||
| I think Susie Wiles is doing a decent job. | ||
| Again, there's critiques, there's criticisms, but generally, she's a Trump loyalist. | ||
| It's been very refreshing. | ||
| If you remember from the first term, his chief of staff was constantly ankle biting, questioning these sorts of things. | ||
| But you have to question Susie Wiles' instincts here if she's going and talking to Vanity Fair. | ||
| That is really something alarming. | ||
| I'm going to get to this last piece here. | ||
| I'm going to just brush through this real quick. | ||
| This dropped in the New York Post this morning. | ||
| Obama's plan to meet with Rob Reiner, the wife, the night, and sorry, meet with Rob Reiner and wife the night couple was killed. | ||
| It's kind of a weird headline there. | ||
| The Obamas were supposed to meet with director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle, the night that they were killed, allegedly, by their son, Nick Reiner. | ||
| So this is something that now following yesterday, where again, I didn't want to speculate too much or confirm anything. | ||
| All signs are now pointing to his son as being the killer. | ||
| People are saying that there was a fight at the party that they were at earlier at Conan O'Brien's house. | ||
| Obviously, that escalated, and Rob Reiner and his wife's necks were slit. | ||
| We were supposed to be seeing them that night last night, and we got the news. | ||
| Michelle Obama said on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night when the host Jimmy Kimmel asked how she was coping with the news of her friend's murder. | ||
| The former first lady said she and her husband were devastated when they had learned that legendary filmmaker and his wife with whom they had been friends with for many, many years, had been killed. | ||
| Things are a little wild. | ||
| Rob Reiner was a power player in the Democrat Party apparatus. | ||
| There's no question about that. | ||
| He was someone who, you know, he was a major donor. | ||
| He was sort of tasked with addressing these donors, fundraising, these sorts of things. | ||
| He had relationships with pretty much everyone of importance within the Democrat Party. | ||
| So, you know, you can infer what happened there. | ||
| Who knows what was going on there? | ||
| That's a little interesting. | ||
| The Obamas were meeting with Rob Reiner, evidently. | ||
| So with that, we are going to bring in the great Rudyard Lynch. | ||
| I want to get his thoughts on sort of the Republican reaction to the Bondi Beach shooting. | ||
| You're muted. | ||
| What that says about immigration policy and these sorts of things. | ||
| So let's see here. | ||
| Let's see if we can get Rudyard pulled up. | ||
| Hey, Rudyard, can you hear me? | ||
| Let's see here. | ||
| Hey, Rudyard, can you hear me? | ||
| Let's see here real quick. | ||
| I'll have producer Serge. | ||
| He's on the scene here. | ||
| Serge, I think I can touch it up real quick. | ||
| Audio source is not enabled. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Hey, Rudyard, can you hear me? | ||
| I can hear you now. | ||
| You're good. | ||
| Can you hear me? | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| We can hear you. | ||
| Okay, we got that resolved. | ||
| Just a quick little bug there on the audio source. | ||
| Rudyard, how are you doing, brother? | ||
| Good to see you. | ||
| I can't complain. | ||
| How about you? | ||
| I am doing all right. | ||
| Well, I know the Timcast audience, you've obviously been on the show, your regular, I would say, in many ways. | ||
| But for the people who don't know who you are, which is an infinitesimally small portion of the population, your lore precedes you, legend, legend. | ||
| But can you give people a quick intro who you are, what you do? | ||
| I'm Rudyard Lynch. | ||
| I'm 24 years old. | ||
| I run a YouTube channel called What If Alt Tist in History 102, which looks at the patterns in the past to predict the future. | ||
| Thank you so much for having me on, as always. | ||
| Of course, of course. | ||
| Well, I wanted to bring you on in twofold. | ||
| I want your reaction to two things. | ||
| A, your reaction to the Bondi beach shooting in Australia, what that says about Western society at large, sort of how these immigration policies have affected us. | ||
| And also, I wanted to get your reaction to multiple Republican congressmen coming out in the last few days saying, like, look, not only do we need to introduce a Muslim travel ban, but we need to sort of amplify and ramp up our remigration efforts. | ||
| So to start with the first one, Australia is interesting because it's really emblematic that the issues with Western civilization are more so psychological and spiritual than they are genuinely political. | ||
| Because Australia should not be a country that is facing threats from external immigration. | ||
| It should be the country on earth, them and New Zealand, which are singularly most immune to foreign threats. | ||
| That's why Mad Max is set there, because it's understood that if there's a nuclear war, Australia will be the last place humans survive. | ||
| And oftentimes Australians aren't even bringing in immigrants from Indonesia or China, countries where I would not support immigration from there, but it would be rational. | ||
| They're hardworking. | ||
| They assimilate easier than Muslims do. | ||
| But when you're bringing in immigrants from Pakistan or the Middle East or whatever, that just signifies that in a country like Australia or New Zealand, you just have a civilizational death wish. | ||
| And I think that's a layer that goes undersaid these days. | ||
| And I often find that in the Anglo-diaspora countries besides America, wokeness is significantly worse than America. | ||
| In Australia, they don't really have, they don't have the oppositional force to say no to wokeness. | ||
| So it just keeps on eating them up again and again and again. | ||
| And it's the same issue with Canada. | ||
| Yeah, because that's my question is Australia and the United States are probably the most similar countries on earth, maybe outside of Canada, in the sense that Australians had to go through a similar sort of ethnogenesis that Americans did as far as, look, they were initially settled by the English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, et cetera. | ||
| And this had to synthesize into a new sort of ethnic identity because they were removed from the motherland. | ||
| And at the time, obviously there was no internet communication. | ||
| So they had to rapidly sort of form into a new identity. | ||
| But the American ethnogenesis seems a bit stronger. | ||
| I mean, obviously there's these questions. | ||
| There's this debate of what is an American sort of circulating in the American political zeitgeist. | ||
| But what happened to Australians? | ||
| Why are they not able to conceptualize themselves? | ||
| Why are they not able to organize and lobby for themselves? | ||
| Why are they not able to sort of identify, okay, that person is not an Australian? | ||
| Because in America, even people on the left, I think, sort of instinctually understand this. | ||
| Yeah, it's two different reasons. | ||
| First of all, is one of my favorite authors, David Hackett Fisher, wrote a book called Fairness and Freedom, and it's an assessment of New Zealand's founding versus America's founding. | ||
| And it's interesting because these are two settler colonial Anglo-societies that were British ancestry, free societies open. | ||
| And the thesis the author picks is that America's foundation in the 17th century set it up with a very different paradigm than New Zealand's in the 19th, where in the 17th century, Europe was fighting constant religious wars. | ||
| It was the development of science and freedom was the biggest issue of 17th century England where they killed the king. | ||
| And America has kept all of these sort of cultural traits from 17th century England, which is why the closest thing to what Shakespeare spoke would be modern American English. | ||
| We speak an archaic dialect of what English would have looked like 400 years ago. | ||
| And in 19th century, Britain that populated, I love the term Antipodes. | ||
| That's the word for Australia and New Zealand. | ||
| It's the other side of the earth. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| I always imagined it as like an octopus creature. | ||
| But the Antipodes, they were populated in the 19th century in the aftermath of the French Revolution, when Charles Dickens was writing about just the grinding poverty of the early Industrial Revolution, when people were paranoid there'd be another revolution. | ||
| And Britain 200 years ago, in my opinion, did something genuinely good, that they tried to sort of reroute the society away from French Revolution oppression. | ||
| And so social justice was a much bigger thing in early 19th century Britain, while freedom was much bigger in the 17th century. | ||
| And the Antipodes crystallized this notion 200 years ago that fairness and social justice are the most important thing. | ||
| And in America, it was freedom. | ||
| And so what this means is that Australia and New Zealand get stuck in tall poppy syndrome, where if you talk to a lot of people from that part of the world, they'll often move to Britain or America, because if you try to achieve things in those societies, other people cut you down. | ||
| It's very much even upper class Australians will try to act like they're working class and they're just here to do Barbie on the beach. | ||
| And it's a very sort of low, low, like low tension culture. | ||
| And they can't break out of that because, or it's hard for them because there's not a lot of external threats. | ||
| And a really un PC element of this that I think is still fundamentally true is America faced a greater threat from the Native Americans than any of the other Anglo-settler societies. | ||
| And also slavery in the South meant that a lot of America had to develop a sense of almost Nietzschean master morality. | ||
| Because when you look at the authors that American Southerners were reading 200 years ago, it was the ancient Greeks and the Romans because they were looking for parallel slave societies where you need to have the warlike sort of masculine edge. | ||
| And that is an argument that the left will use. | ||
| But I think there is a degree of validity when you have that sort of culture pop up in America. | ||
| I mean, there's also something to be said about the fact that, you know, America was settled by Puritans. | ||
| I mean, a lot of people have pointed out that Oliver Cromwell in many ways is like sort of the OG founding father. | ||
| And in addition to that, obviously, there was sort of this sense among colonial Americans of the Norman yoke that, you know, the freedom that, you know, we are aspiring to the United States is really just a pre-Norman state of affairs for an Anglo society. | ||
| That's getting probably too in the weeds for a Rumble Live show. | ||
| But I think there's something to be said versus the Australians, like you're pointing out, where it was, you know, that sort of came about later on in the 19th century is really when it crystallized. | ||
| A lot of those people had already made their way to America. | ||
| of the sort of stock of sellers that would come to Australia were people that followed much more in line with sort of 19th century social science. | ||
| In addition to that, I want to ask you, what is sort of driving, because you pointed out at the top, the immigration patterns coming to Australia, they don't really seem to align with what would be conventional thinking as far as like, if you're trying to plug holes in your economy, what drives a society to import like people from these Islamic countries where they're very violent countries. | ||
| We're seeing this in the United States as well. | ||
| We're bringing in people from Somalia, Afghanistan, these sorts of things. | ||
| And every number, every metric is indicating these people are not just not assimilating, but they're actually a draw on the American system. | ||
| I mean, Somalians, I mean, CIS has put data out indicating that foreign-born Americans at large are in a drain on the welfare system. | ||
| They have a larger participation in welfare than Americans. | ||
| What is sort of the mindset of these people that sort of still insist that, no, this is working. | ||
| This immigration system is fine. | ||
| It maybe just needs a few tweaks rather than an overhaul. | ||
| James Burnham wrote a book in 1961 called The Suicide of the West. | ||
| And it's a really horrifying book that an intelligent conservative author writing in the 1950s could predict the end point of this, which was the suicide of the West. | ||
| And what he wrote is that if you actually look at the moral code of liberals, and he said at the time that the liberals were America's dominant ruling class, and that didn't become the sort of party consensus until COVID, the left was able to lie that WASP reactionary Christian fundamentalists were in charge of America. | ||
| But going back to World War I, the progressives took over authority. | ||
| And what James Burnham said is that the liberals don't have a coherent moral code. | ||
| They just support whatever policy makes the West hurt. | ||
| And they will adjust their own moral code so that the West hurts. | ||
| And this is their actual moral code. | ||
| And he said, if you establish a society where these are the incentives over the course of decades, you'll have the suicide of the West. | ||
| And that's their ultimate goal. | ||
| They will look at whatever the West was 500 years ago and do the opposite. | ||
| 500 years ago, Muslims were the enemy. | ||
| It was a patriarchal society. | ||
| The nobility ran society. | ||
| It was Christian. | ||
| And so what the left does, because their aim is the suicide of the West, is just take a traditional Western society and then do its opposite. | ||
| Somalians are about as far away from a Western population anthropologically as possible, which is why we're importing them. | ||
| And it's a profoundly gross and immature thing that they're trying to do civilizational suicide and they're not even honest about it. | ||
| It's like they're popping back the pills, but they won't even say they're doing it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And this gets us something really interesting. | ||
| So obviously, and I agree with everything. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| This is something interesting. | ||
| The Republican congressmen, obviously, bringing the knives out for sort of this Islamic immigration. | ||
| They're saying, you know, well, this is causing a huge problem. | ||
| And I agree wholeheartedly. | ||
| They're saying, look, Albanese, he's trying to drag his country. | ||
| Anthony Albanese, the prime minister of Australia, is trying to drag his country through a struggle session over anti-Semitism when the anti-Semitism seems very concentrated to one singular population in the Australian public. | ||
| I don't think that the, you know, traditional heritage Australian really thinks about Jews that much. | ||
| They certainly don't have an axe to grind with them, maybe a small portion of the population, but I would say they're politically irrelevant. | ||
| I don't think this is a widespread issue in the Australian public. | ||
| I think it's concentrated a very specific portion. | ||
| I want to make this point, maybe not, and maybe pick your brain, see if you agree. | ||
| It's very interesting to me that all across the West, on the right specifically, we are able to mobilize against anti-Semitism en masse. | ||
| And as we should, anti-Semitism is horrible. | ||
| It's prejudices or people that, you know, are facing increasing levels of terrorization and terrorist attacks and these sorts of things. | ||
| But why is it still uncouth to address anti-white sentiment? | ||
| Because it seems like with a lot of this immigration policy, like you're pointing to with Somalia, that's really an attack on white Americans. | ||
| They're really trying to displace them in Minneapolis. | ||
| I mean, I've pointed out in the show before, I've gone through the demographics of New York City, how that's been radically overhauled. | ||
| Why is that something that seems to not be, we're not able to address and say, like, hey, this is also prejudice. | ||
| This is wrong. | ||
| It doesn't make sense in the incentives of a normal society because we're not a normal society where it's a lot of sort of weird incentive structures that pile up so that the end result is the destruction of the shared society. | ||
| And when the founding fathers established American democracy, they were pulling from the Greeks and the Romans and all of these democratic thinkers in the ancient world. | ||
| And what their main thesis for how to run a democracy is how do you build incentives so that you don't end up in a system where the interests of the elite are to deconstruct the society to pillage it. | ||
| And what we did was we made an almost religious structure. | ||
| We're doing that exact thing was the moral aim. | ||
| We're deconstructing the society was the moral aim to do. | ||
| So we sort of short-circuited ourselves to the worst possible option. | ||
| And I mean, I can give you, I can give you the answer. | ||
| It's just profoundly unPC. | ||
| Let's find Ron Rumble, so we can let it fly. | ||
| In a normal society, you have sort of masculine hierarchical authority that maintains structures of functioning society because most people fundamentally do not want to be independent. | ||
| They want to be part of a broader structure where they have community and they have work and meaning and that stuff. | ||
| And so what happened is that this desire for sort of authority and discipline and structure got transmuted into destroying the society, where, because when these people are saying white people are bad, like white society has no value, what they're really saying is that white society lacks structure and discipline. | ||
| And so we're going to keep pushing up against it until we receive this. | ||
| It's a civilizational shit test. | ||
| Fascinating. | ||
| Yes, I do think that's what's going on in large part. | ||
| I mean, you pointed out the deconstructionist nature driving a lot of this immigration policy. | ||
| I don't want to mischaracterize, but that was my sense. | ||
| It does appear to me to sort of come back down a bit with our immigration policy. | ||
| It seems a lot of this is driven by self-hate as well, where these people that are advocating for this hate themselves, specifically talking about white liberals, and that's what I have in mind They have hatred for themselves because there's again, we made the point. | ||
| There's just no way to flush out Somali immigration numbers-wise. | ||
| The math is just not there. | ||
| It doesn't make sense. | ||
| It's not a rational policy. | ||
| The only thing that seems to me that could be driving that in large part is self-hatred, self-sort of a poor perception of self, a poor sense of identity. | ||
| And they want to take that out in the American public. | ||
| They want to take that out in people that do have a strong sense of self-identity. | ||
| And that's the ultimate way to punish these people for doing so is by flooding their communities with people who really despise them, or if their IQ is not high enough to possess hatred, will just sort of inflict punishment on them by their presence in large part due to their crime rates, due to their drain on social welfare systems. | ||
| Hatred doesn't have an IQ cap. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| I mean, it's this is sort of a natural end point where we don't think anything that's not material exists, but it clearly does. | ||
| There clearly is non-material things. | ||
| And so if you have a society that says life doesn't matter, that gives no value for just the human soul and human life, that gives no structure for human life to develop between how to raise children, how to get married, how to support a community, how to have a sense of identity and values. | ||
| And you build that society, which is just totally sort of built against the human soul, and you're surprised that society commits suicide. | ||
| That's a normal line of causation, where it's the whole meme of looking at houses or cars or McDonald's. | ||
| And over the decades, all of them lose their color and all of them lose their sort of human element. | ||
| So every McDonald's is a steel and glass box now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yes. | ||
| This is why I struck, and this is, I'm a devout Christian. | ||
| So I'm coming from this, addressing my camps, sort of their remedy for the situation. | ||
| Is I think it's a bit short-sighted to just say the way out of this, the way to provide value is just simply to attend church, because even in the United States specifically, a lot of these churches aren't providing value at a metaphysical level anyway. | ||
| They also kind of resemble these McDonald's in a lot of ways, these churches that are really just big box enterprise. | ||
| It's a TED talk and a rock concert fundamentally. | ||
| So I'm even skeptical that with the current state that Christianity is in in the United States, that this would even provide the meaning to people for them to sort of dig themselves out of this hole of despair and whatnot. | ||
| At least that's my assessment of the current situation. | ||
| We lost something very valuable with World War I, and that was the sort of indigenous European rights to pride, where when you go into World War I, you'll see a society where you have people trained in the Greeks and the Romans and the classics and history and the Bible with these highly elaborate codes of politeness and fashion and art and culture and dress. | ||
| And when the left says white people don't have culture, it fills me with such unfathomable rage. | ||
| Yes, we don't have culture because you guys killed it. | ||
| This is like an abuser taking away your stuff and then blaming you for not having it. | ||
| And so white people used to have a lot of culture leading up until World War I. | ||
| And we lost that, but that was fundamentally the thing that propelled all of this. | ||
| Where when you removed that culture, you removed all of these implicit social rules and senses for reality in all these different things. | ||
| And you sort of went from a society where the two polarities were sort of um, the European warrior and Christianity, and then you removed the warrior culture and then you replaced it with Marxism. | ||
| So you have Christianity in the middle, or at least a version that's been sapped of a lot of its vitality. | ||
| But then the midpoint has moved between Marxism society needs to die for the revolution and Christ dying for our sins. | ||
| Well, the midpoint between these two that was functional was the crusader between the warrior tradition and the uh Christian tradition, and so you need to shoot the Marx. | ||
| I like to say. | ||
| People blame the Jews, they blame women, they'll blame various groups, but when you look at the death of the old America, the Marxists have a plan to murder it, they have the gun, they said they did it, and the Marxists have a multi-step plan on why or how they wanted to kill the old America. | ||
| And our inability to accept Marxism's culpability in this process I think is very dangerous. | ||
| But you have to root out all of the Marxist assumptions that we didn't even know we had yes, and then replace them with Pre-world War One era European culture, yes. | ||
| Yes, I mean because as a zoomer and you could probably relate to this in some senses. | ||
| You grow up um, and I grew up in a very conservative family, and so you grow up where Marxism is often addressed and pointed out as the root of a lot of these problems, like infamously, you'll say well, these Democrats are all communists and these sorts of things. | ||
| So you kind of get conditioned to almost roll your eyes when you hear these things. | ||
| And so when you're a zoomer and you start to sort of engage in in political commentary and and start to interact with politics writ large um, you already write off Marxism. | ||
| You're like well that's, that's like the Boomer take right, it actually has to be sort of this hidden, esoteric knowledge. | ||
| But then you really analyze, analyze things and you're like no, that that is actually true it's, a lot of these Marxist assumptions are driving a lot of this rot, a lot of this destruction. | ||
| Um, I mean, you pointed out, I think excellently is the sort of traditional white like specifically, Wasp culture really did die um, in the World Wars. | ||
| Uh, you're seeing now where, where white Americans are kind of flailing in many ways, sort of looking for Dr Submarine he's a poster on twitter, he made this point where they're looking for sort of a subculture and identity that they can um, find security and longevity in. | ||
| And he actually addressed. | ||
| He said, like this sort of country music culture, this barstool culture, in many ways has kind of been what white Americans are synthesizing around because they feel like okay, this is something that does have longevity, something has some legs to it and they can find security in this. | ||
| That's why, you see, you know you can go to like queens, to like an Italian neighborhood, and you don't see them participating in like the Dago culture or whatever they're like wearing cowboy boots and they're listening to Morgan Wallen and they're tuning into college football, because it's like American. | ||
| White Americans specifically, are kind of flailing. | ||
| In many ways. | ||
| They're looking for something grounded that they can sort of attach themselves to. | ||
| Yeah, that's very much true, and I think of um, we had the wasp elite until the 60s, People from Philadelphia, New York, Boston, who ancestors came over in the 1600s, and they were America's elite for centuries. | ||
| And then we covertly replaced the Wasps with Marxists. | ||
| And the WASPs lost their edge, where it's a wasp culture is one that tries to maintain the trappings of aristocracy without any of the edge. | ||
| I find when you push wasps, they don't push back. | ||
| They give concessions. | ||
| And I agree that country Scots-Irish culture is the one that we have that has the potential to actually become a new American sort of culture. | ||
| And you're a southerner. | ||
| I'm from Pennsylvania. | ||
| And it's interesting to look at rural northerners where they'll take up southern culture. | ||
| They'll listen to country music. | ||
| People in my hometown in Pennsylvania would gradually get more and more southern accents. | ||
| And I have mixed feelings about that. | ||
| Partly, I don't think northerners should appropriate southern culture because southerners have their own distinct heritage, their own distinct environment. | ||
| Where I live in Texas, I won't call myself a southerner until other southerners call me a southerner because I don't want to sort of water down that society. | ||
| And in America, in the north, rural northerners used to be the sort of fulcrum of all of American society. | ||
| Hollywood, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, they were founded, maybe not Silicon Valley, but the others, they were founded under the pretension that this was the realization of a general American culture that started in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and upstate New York. | ||
| And the rural Anglo-North has totally lost its culture. | ||
| And they've been reliant on Southerners because that's the only proud Anglo-society. | ||
| And when I see the sort of Scots-Irish, Celtic, country-American culture, it's something that if you sort of adjusted it a little, it could work for both Northerners and Southerners because you don't need to have the strictly Southern elements, but the things like independence or honor or pride in your own work, those are things that can work irrespective of if you're Northern or Southern or if you're Christian or agnostic. | ||
| And I like to say that the new hub for conservative America is a region that stretches from Texas out to Pennsylvania and upstate New York. | ||
| And it's the fusion of the Rust Belt, the Midwest, and the South. | ||
| That's our new core region that we have to pull support and leadership and cultural capital from. | ||
| I totally agree. | ||
| And I think to kind of go back to the main topic, I think a lot of this is a reaction to mass migration, where part of what's grinded these sort of subcultures down, like specifically in the New York metro with your traditional, like more Italian culture, even like your West Coast culture, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| I think a lot of this is just a reaction to mass migration because it has sort of muddled these communities where these cultures would have developed. | ||
| And so people, as soon as they don't have those touch points, they just react to what they can see online and conceptualize. | ||
| And so I think largely, I mean, yes, a lot of this is because of the vacuum that was created following the death of that culture and the World Wars, but I think a lot of it also is a reaction to the mass migration, sort of seeking a differentiating factor from these newer arrivals. | ||
| Another variable people don't forget, or another, sorry, another variable people forget is a huge thing that I see as an anthropologist is in the late 20th century, women and especially a certain sub-demographic of women in a certain age category basically lost interest in maintaining their inherited culture. | ||
| And this is a global trend you see even in places like Southeast Asia or China or in Eastern Europe. | ||
| And what happened when that occurred was it became very difficult to pass on the culture cross-generationally. | ||
| And so you saw this cultural breakdown towards the universal globo homo that occurred from end of the cold war until 2008. | ||
| And so you saw a lot of regional cultures around the world get blown out by that because it's hard to compete with the internet or wokeness or any of these given things because these are very sort of sticky ideologies that can grab on anywhere in the world. | ||
| And then once you lose the ability to pass on culture cross-generationally, it's just an issue because the culture loses all fertility. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Totally agree. | ||
| Chad is demanding slurs. | ||
| I don't think they like, I don't know if they like this conversation. | ||
| They're demanding slurs. | ||
| So your point with the win, why do all these hoes look like Kim Kardashian now? | ||
| I think that actually is like a very salient point. | ||
| So yeah, I think that's fantastic, Rudyard. | ||
| Thank you very much for hopping on. | ||
| We are running a little low on time here, but I really want to pick up on this maybe at some point in the future. | ||
| Do you have any final thoughts on where people can find you to find your work? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Hit me up later. | ||
| Yeah, we'll do. | ||
| All righty, brother. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| I'll catch you later, dude. | ||
| All righty, that was the great Rudyard Lynch. | ||
| Yeah, you can find him at What If Altist, pretty much everywhere. | ||
| He is fantastic. | ||
| He is excellent. | ||
| Yeah, no, it's very salient. | ||
| I mean, yeah, we kind of, we really went in depth there on sort of the anthropological elements at play here. | ||
| But yes, I think it's true is a large part that's driving sort of this mass immigration, mass suicide of the West is it's occurring in a vacuum. | ||
| It's stemming out of self-hatred. | ||
| A lot of people in the West, these white liberals that are often lambasted, hate themselves and they hate the fact that they're white. | ||
| And they're going to take that out by basically robbing future white people of their inheritance. | ||
| I think that's absolutely what's going on here. | ||
| There's really no question about it. | ||
| Somali immigration is indefensible at this point. | ||
| Immigration from Afghanistan is completely indefensible at this point. | ||
| A, the economics are not there. | ||
| So even if you were to grant them their argument, they're failing in our economy. | ||
| They're taking welfare, and the majority of them are taking welfare. | ||
| And then also they have a propensity to carry out terrorist attacks. | ||
| So it's like, what are we doing here? | ||
| You know? | ||
| So with that, we will be winding this show down. | ||
| We're going to be raiding Devori Darkens. | ||
| Surge, if you could fire up that raid for Devori. | ||
| We have producer Surge in the house. | ||
| With that, we'll be back tonight for Timcast IRL at 8 p.m. Eastern. | ||
| We are on the West Coast here in Las Vegas. | ||
| So it'll be at 5 p.m. for us, but we will see you there. | ||
| You can follow me on X and Instagram at RealTate Brown. | ||
| Come shoot me a message. | ||
| We'll discuss this further if you found that conversation interesting. | ||
| I certainly did. | ||
| I hope you did as well. | ||
| With that, yeah, we're going to wind down today's show. | ||
| And we got that raid going for Dvore. |
