Attention, if you owe

0:02

the IRS this is an important announcement.

0:05

COVID relief is over and the IRS

0:07

is ramping up like never before, sending

0:09

out millions of collection letters to start

0:11

2024. Do

0:13

you owe $10,000 or more or have

0:15

unfiled returns? Now is the time to

0:18

act. The IRS can garnish

0:20

your wages, seize your property and they can

0:22

even take your home or your business. Don't

0:24

let the IRS take advantage of you. It's

Network USA. 1-800-245-6000. Call

0:59

now. Yesterday, of

1:01

course, was May Day. That

1:03

is a leftist holiday and

1:06

with all the protests going on across these

1:08

universities, across the country, of course

1:10

we were expecting to see some violence. Now the

1:12

police have been tearing down many of these camps.

1:14

They tore down the UCLA camp. They were seen

1:16

on camera firing bean bags into the crowd. Though

1:18

many people reported rubber bullets, I'm pretty sure they

1:20

were bean bags. You can take a look at

1:22

the weapons they were using. They looked like the

1:24

less lethal shotguns. But we got news

1:26

from the post-millennial. 15

1:29

Portland police vehicles were torched. Now

1:32

they say it's suspected arson in

1:34

their headline and I'm going to give you

1:36

my opinion. I don't think the cars spontaneously

1:38

combusted at night. I'm assuming someone set them

1:40

on fire on a leftist protest day where

1:42

leftists were smashing up buildings in the downtown

1:44

area. So we're going to go ahead and

1:46

make the assumption Antifa torched these police vehicles.

1:48

There you go. The police in

1:51

Portland were tearing down the Portland camps. And we

1:53

have a rather humorous video of

1:55

the children playing cops and robbers with

1:57

half sawed and half garbage

1:59

cans. running into trying to,

2:01

I guess, tackle a cop and then getting

2:03

arrested. Because these kids are playing

2:05

games, they're playing revolutionary and Empire.

2:08

It's a silly game, we'll talk about that. We

2:11

got a bunch of other news. A big

2:13

story that's been going around is the question

2:15

of whether the Daily Wire, they've been accused

2:17

of gagging Candace Owens so she cannot speak

2:19

about a disparate to the company and that

2:22

actually inhibits her ability to debate Ben

2:24

Shapiro and so many people are saying

2:26

the Daily Wire is acting disingenuously but

2:28

we can't break that down. And then

2:30

of course in the Donald Trump corruption,

2:32

I should say the corrupted Donald Trump

2:34

trial where they've got no statutory basis

2:36

in law, Trump

2:38

is being held in contempt again. The judge has

2:40

not issued his ruling. They're saying he violated the gag

2:43

order for a fourth time. But guess what? It's

2:45

got a point where even

2:47

CNN defended Trump after

2:49

they were forced to bring up insults from

2:51

Michael Cohen and they said, you

2:53

know, they read it on air and Jake

2:55

Tapper was like, I apologize in advance for

2:58

saying these things and then said,

3:00

which we will mention on the show, but we'll wait

3:02

a little bit, what Michael Cohen called Trump and

3:05

then Dana Bass said, this gives Trump credibility that

3:08

Cohen is attacking him and he needs to

3:10

respond. He's targeting his presidential campaign. So we'll

3:12

talk about all of that before

3:14

we do, head over to

3:16

casprew.com and buy coffee. We

3:19

got great coffee here. We got Appalachian

3:21

Nights. Of course, we also have Alex

3:23

Stein's Prime Time Grind, two times caffeine

3:25

drink responsibly. Heaven forbid more people

3:27

start acting like Alex Stein, but you know,

3:30

look, we're selling coffee, so we're gonna promote

3:32

it. But good on you, Alex

3:34

Stein. We're big fans of his show and his

3:36

work. And then of course we have Appalachian Nights

up, Hannah Claire? Hey, and if people

6:05

6:08

can watch the video premiere, which is very,

6:10

very cool. I'm Hannah Claire Breml. I'm

6:12

a writer for scnr.com, that's Scanner News. Follow

6:14

all of our work at Timcast News on

6:16

Instagram, Twitter. They're an amazing team. I'm grateful

6:18

to be a part of it. Hi, Serge.

6:21

Yep. Boys just cracked like I'm

6:23

a writer's purity. Here's

6:25

the first story for the

6:28

post-millennial. 15 Portland police vehicles

6:30

torched in suspected arson attack.

6:32

The suspected arson attack came

6:34

after Antifa destroyed businesses downtown

6:36

for May Day. I

6:38

love you, post-millennial. And I understand

6:40

why you said suspected, but I'm just going

6:43

to go ahead and say I don't think

6:45

the vehicle spontaneously combusted. And

6:47

I don't think someone accidentally tripped and

6:49

fell and dropped their kerosene and lighter

6:51

onto 15 vehicles all in the same

6:53

night. I think it's fair to say it's

6:55

arson. And I think it's

6:57

fair to say, they put in

6:59

the subtitle that it came

7:02

on a day when Antifa destroyed businesses downtown.

7:04

It also came on a day when

7:07

the police are raiding their encampment and

7:09

arresting people at Portland University. So I

7:11

would just like to say, in

7:14

my humble opinion, Antifa

7:17

and Far Leftists torched a bunch of

7:19

police vehicles yesterday. You know the challenging

7:21

thing with this is we've

7:24

been covering this stuff for so long that

7:27

I feel like it is... You ever

7:30

drink a Coke or something and then try

7:32

and eat ice cream right afterwards and it

7:34

tastes like there's no sweetness to it because

7:36

you've desensitized? That's what it's like. It's like

7:38

we've covered so much Antifa violence, it's like,

7:40

oh, only 15. I

7:43

mean, I think this could be potentially global warming

7:45

because global warming is responsible for so much. It's

7:47

impossible to tell what it's up to next. No,

7:49

I think you're right. I can understand why Post

7:51

Millennial is doing this if you haven't arrested

7:53

and convicted someone, you have to say alleged and be

7:55

careful of the language. But probably,

7:58

probably... the rioters

8:00

who involved the Tifa also burned the

8:03

car. These were revolutionary communists.

8:05

They are terrorists. And I

8:07

endorse the state stomping the,

8:11

like just stomping the hell out of

8:13

them. Find them, throw them in jail

8:15

because they are trying to destroy the

8:17

country. They could kill people. Yeah. I

8:19

mean, they say, they

8:21

openly say that they're revolutionary.

8:24

They say they want to overthrow

8:26

the United States. This is what

8:28

they say. Give them

8:30

the smoke they are begging

8:32

for. Give them the

8:34

smoke. That is, of course, it's called CS

8:36

smoke. Do you know what CS stands for?

8:39

Genuine question, because I don't want to look that up. I don't. In

8:42

Ferguson, when they fired the

8:44

tear gas, it's called CS smoke. And

8:47

so CNN said they're not using tear gas. In

8:49

fact, it's just smoke. And meanwhile, everyone's going, oh,

8:51

like my eyes. Yes, because they don't call it

8:53

tear gas. And the other thing too, what I

8:55

learned is that pepper spray is

8:57

apparently also tear gas. Yeah,

8:59

it's just a different powder. Well,

9:02

CS stands for it's a

9:05

very long word, meaning chemicals. And as I am

9:07

not Ian, the scientist, I cannot read it to

9:09

you. That's what the internet is trying to tell me

9:11

right now. Because they have canisters that

9:13

say CS smoke. CS gas. Oh,

9:16

I see. Chlorobenzelmulan...

9:22

Yeah, see why I avoided it? Really?

9:25

I think that means not good for your eyes. It's

9:27

a Latin name. Chlorobenzelmalonitrile.

9:36

I can understand why the police call it

9:38

CS gas now. Tim, I think you're being

9:40

too kind to post-millennial because they buried the

9:42

lead here. The real story is

9:44

that there's still 15 cars in Portland to

9:47

burn. Oh, right. Because I've been

9:49

to Portland recently. And it's kind of... How

9:51

are they doing? It's kind of a festering

9:53

hellhole. Really? Yeah. I went there...

9:55

The last time I was there was years ago.

9:57

It was funny. There was some video... I

10:00

can't remember why people are posting it, but it was a video of

10:04

Like Proud Boys marching and they claimed this old video was

10:06

a video something else and I was like I know that's

10:08

fake news because I was at that March. I know where

10:10

that is there. Yeah, they were in Portland And

10:13

it was crazy because I was there a few days

10:16

in advance and so I'm walking

10:18

around I'm going to the store I think I

10:20

like bought a phone or something I knew that

10:22

like in an upgrade and there are signs that

10:24

they take posters Saying this person is a Nazi

10:27

and it's pictures of like random people and I'm like,

10:29

I don't know what this is but they were everywhere

10:31

they just put up these posters of people and Now

10:35

over the past several years. We've seen all the news that

10:37

the downtown area is basically gone Nobody

10:39

wants to have a business there There's zombie

10:41

apocalypse now it's and and all the businesses

10:43

finally gave up and people are now working

10:45

from home So there's no people during the

10:47

day, which means there's no restaurants. There's no

10:50

nightlife and it's just they killed it Collasting

10:52

the economy there. I remember listening to

10:55

this interview and be argued with local

10:57

business owners Probably on you know

10:59

the downtown area and it was in Portland and

11:01

they were saying well we we don't know Did

11:04

12:18

to their causes. And basically in hopes of being left

12:20

alone, and it never works. It never

12:22

works. So these are the people

12:25

that are trying to fight the

12:27

cops and trying to attack the cops and

12:29

stuff like that. These are the same people

12:31

that shot that Magadude. They're

12:33

of the exact same political bent.

12:36

They're the same people that

12:39

would smash in a building,

12:42

smash in someone's property, because they

12:45

didn't have the right sticker in

12:47

the window or whatever. These are

12:49

the same people that will stop

12:52

emergency services from getting through their

12:54

protests while people are having heart

12:56

attacks or dying. This

12:59

is, they're all revolutionary communists. They

13:01

specifically say they want to take

13:03

down the United States. Give

13:06

them the fight they're

13:08

looking for. Let the government send the police

13:10

in and go get them. I'm

13:12

seeing all these people on social media being like,

13:15

the free speech warriors are not so for free

13:17

speech anymore. Oh, the commies are

13:19

crying. These four leftists are smashing up

13:21

people's businesses, putting people's lives in danger,

13:23

and then they get mad when the

13:25

police comes in and gives them exactly

13:27

what they ask for. People,

13:30

look, they say the ends justify

13:32

the means. That's what these people believe. And I'm

13:34

like, so this is what they're saying.

13:36

They think they're justified in smashing

13:38

things up, burning vehicles, and they've

13:40

killed people because in the end,

13:43

it'll be justified. Yeah,

13:45

in the end, they will create government doing just

13:47

this. So when they demand

13:50

government based on violent force, I

13:52

say the police should go in and respond in

13:54

kind under the law, which

13:57

the law allows to stop violent

13:59

criminals. because

14:02

they're saying they want government of force. Okay,

14:05

well, we can oblige. The police

14:07

can go in and stop you from using this

14:09

force, countering your force with theirs. And then we

14:11

can all clap and say, congratulations, you've got what

14:13

you've asked for. Speech is speech, violence

14:15

is violence. There's a pretty bright line there

14:18

and violence should never be tolerated. I have

14:20

a friend that lives in San Francisco. She's

14:22

very successful. She refuses to

14:25

leave Haight-Ashbury because she

14:27

believes that the Marxists that

14:29

run the government absolutely

14:31

want to run away anybody who's

14:34

successful, anybody that could actually keep

14:36

the city, restore the city, make it worth

14:39

living there again. And she

14:41

won't do it. She's not leaving because she

14:43

thinks that's exactly what they want. It

14:45

looks to me like Portland's, the

14:48

thugs have won that fight. Take a look at

14:50

this tweet from Andy Ngo. He

14:52

says that the May Day Antifa riot downtown

14:55

Portland, the extremists in the Black Bloc marched

14:57

from the Portland State Library encampment where they

14:59

threw mortar explosives and smashed up businesses and

15:01

property. Portland police make no arrests. The attack

15:04

was pre-announced on social media. Take a look

15:06

at this. May Day

15:08

scavenger hunt. Here's a list of

15:10

business orgs who profit off

15:12

the settler colony of Israel that

15:15

we'll pass on the march. Keep your eyes

15:17

out and take whatever autonomous action feels good.

15:20

And they label these businesses. They literally

15:22

just threw Israel's name in there as

15:24

an excuse to go and smash up

15:26

these corporations. And if these were private

15:29

businesses owned by a person, I

15:31

would endorse the person getting out there and

15:33

defending their business. And

15:35

no one who's going on a scavenger hunt, so

15:37

to speak, is actually gonna verify any of this.

15:39

No. They'll read this piece of paper and

15:42

be like, ha ha, cool. Yeah. It's

15:44

sort of illogical, but it does speak

15:46

to the control this movement has over

15:48

the masses that it's brought

15:50

together. But they are willing to create

15:53

an ideological incentive for them to do chaos. And

15:55

the people are not willing to say, hey, I'm

15:58

an independent thinker. And this is why. don't

16:00

think I'm gonna do that. They

16:02

are a tiny minority that intimidate

16:04

the normal people that want to

16:06

live normal lives that go to

16:08

work every day that do the

16:11

things that keep society together and

16:13

keep society going. They do this

16:16

because they know that they don't have anything

16:18

to lose because they have no lives, they

16:20

don't have jobs, they don't have to go

16:22

to work, they don't they're not the normal

16:24

people. So they go and they make a

16:26

stink and they scare the crap out of

16:29

the normal people and they're so the normal

16:31

people are afraid to do anything about it. Idle

16:33

hands, devil's playground. But I also wonder, you

16:35

ever see that meme where it was a, I

16:37

don't know if it was like a guy telling a story in some

16:40

post he said that he rented an apartment

16:42

and then one day he heard a gunshot and

16:44

he got worried and you know he went

16:47

out to he went out to his backyard or whatever and

16:49

looked around and he saw his neighbor holding a gun and

16:51

his neighbor said don't worry that was me just fired into

16:53

the ground. I do this every once in a while to

16:55

keep the property taxes down. Something

16:57

like that insane. Yeah I wonder

17:00

if what's actually happening is it

17:03

it would be actually a hilarious

17:05

story that there's a conspiracy of

17:07

wealthy like generationally wealthy

17:09

white liberals who live in Portland who want

17:11

to buy up as much property as possible.

17:13

So every night they dress up like antifa

17:16

and claim oh Israel oh jeez then they

17:18

cause all this damage everybody leaves they sink

17:20

the property value they buy it up and

17:22

then three years they stop doing

17:24

that you know what I mean? Ryan Long had

17:27

a comedy bit about this Antifa glass repair and

17:29

he's like by night we are Antifa by

17:31

day we repair windows and then

17:33

they get a call like oh wow oh I can't believe that

17:36

happened yeah we'll be right there with the new window for it.

17:38

I actually do have I know

17:40

a guy like we're mutuals on Xbox

17:42

live that are that repairs windows in

17:44

Portland. He was so shameless.

17:49

If you're listening

17:52

someone already commented in chat shameless we need you

17:54

shameless it's it's a video where it's a guy

17:57

actually shameless might have already done this it's a

17:59

guy driving around in like a

18:01

Porsche or like a Model

18:04

S Plaid and he's got gold diamond

18:07

studded sunglasses and a grill and it's

18:09

just like a glass repair company.

18:13

I learned today that the majority

18:15

of renters in the US, the people who

18:17

rent their homes or apartments live

18:19

in basically like 240 counties of the nation's

18:21

like just over 3000 and a lot

18:24

of them are obviously like around LA, in New

18:26

York City, things like that. And

18:28

so I would be interested to see sort of

18:31

the cross map of Antifa activity and renters like

18:33

people who aren't actually tied to the community, they're

18:35

sort of claiming social ties to the community but

18:38

if you got really bad, they would all leave

18:40

if they wanted to. So

18:44

anyways, that's from my think tank that I just

18:46

invented right now. I'll create that map for you

18:48

guys. What is your friend saying that she doesn't

18:50

want to leave because she thinks they want her

18:52

to leave but there's nothing you can do about it?

18:55

Like the system will be broken. It's very difficult to

18:57

build a machine. It's very easy to throw a wrench

18:59

in the spokes. Yeah. Well,

19:02

she's a means where she's fighting back

19:04

politically and she's actually trying to see

19:07

people who aren't crazy in the

19:10

government because I mean, Portland only happened

19:12

because the mayor and the city council

19:15

and eventually the police let it

19:17

happen and they let it fester and they

19:19

let it get big and pretty soon it

19:21

becomes this culture where all of these kids

19:24

are doing this for a living. You

19:27

don't have to let it be that way. So the question is,

19:29

can you ever take it back? Can

19:32

you actually ever restore it so

19:34

that people who work and produce

19:36

and create and generate

19:39

revenue for the city, will they actually come back?

19:43

That's a question because you can also just migrate

19:46

and move somewhere else and live somewhere else. I

19:49

don't know. I kind of recommend it. I

19:51

think the issue is culture and the

19:54

cities, the reason Antifa is getting away with it is there is

19:56

no culture. Imagine If the overwhelming

19:58

majority of people are... Agreed with

20:00

each other on how these things should be

20:02

dealt with. You wouldn't need to worry about

20:04

anything, you wouldn't need to fight at all.

20:07

The idea that you're going to govern well.

20:09

we better get good people and means good

20:11

people aren't trying to get in. and you're

20:13

actively trying to encourage people to engage. And

20:15

that's a good thing. But it does mean

20:18

that there there's no shared culture if you.

20:20

If you go to a rural neighborhood, a

20:22

tight knit, small community. As. You for

20:24

shows up. The. Locals are going to come

20:26

out and they're going to be like don't try it. And.

20:29

They're going to be an agreement. The cops are gonna be standing alongside

20:31

the people who live there. In. Portland. the cops

20:33

go. I don't care. I'm not getting involved out here

20:35

who you are because there's no communities, There's no culture.

20:38

So then you've got businesses. Be like the cops won't defend

20:40

me. They vote against the cops. Would

20:42

he? Would it? Would you expect? Yeah and the cops

20:44

are like for the government won't take our

20:46

side, even the writing our checks and it's

20:48

I think. What's interesting is that a lot

20:50

of this is not solution oriented whereas if

20:52

you have investment in your community, if you

20:54

if you have a shared culture it's you

20:56

want to see it thrive. You you are

20:58

part of something and you don't look around

21:00

saying like far, burn it all down. But

21:03

with all of these attacks, especially in Portland,

21:05

it's ultimately about the chaos. The Kansas, the

21:07

ends, two thousand and all of this. It's

21:09

the purpose for us, and that means that

21:11

the city is not something you're trying to

21:13

preserve. Or an at ad in to. Speak

21:15

with. Also read it as a political monoculture.

21:17

I'm in the one of the promises that

21:20

there was no competition. Before

21:22

governance, everybody's a democrat but not

21:24

of everybody's just a democrat. Third

21:26

three woke. check all the boxes

21:29

democrats and them the mirror by

21:31

the key. Still the mirror. I

21:33

forget his name but he was

21:35

unwilling. Tom Wheeler Dealer Tom Herman

21:37

Just a Wheeler and. He.

21:39

He was unwilling to do anything about them

21:41

and they repaid him by showing up at

21:43

his apartment building up and terrorizing him. That's.

21:47

Portland. Ah, I'm. Look

21:50

man. We. Have a bunch of

21:52

laws in the books that aren't enforced. With.

21:54

A bunch of laws that the art.

21:58

are enforce that aren't even in such to law,

22:00

policing New York creating frozen zones. And

22:03

then the issue is the issue

22:05

is who controls power and what is the community

22:07

willing to accept or not accept. Portland

22:09

will not accept police arresting protesters. So

22:11

the protesters destroy the city. And

22:14

then these people who refuse to complain about it

22:16

and let it happen flee and then bring their

22:18

politics to other cities. It's not it

22:20

doesn't take it's rat utopia experiment.

22:22

It doesn't take a lot of

22:24

like for a police

22:27

force to deter and prevent

22:29

that type of behavior. It

22:31

doesn't take a lot of

22:33

like bashing heads

22:36

together and stuff. They the police generally

22:38

know the people that are causing problems

22:40

in an area. You talk to police

22:42

and they see the same faces all

22:45

the time. They get to know the

22:47

people because they do they do spend

22:49

some time in the community and the

22:51

people that cause problems continuously cause problems.

22:54

The police do have the ability and

22:56

the know-how to clean an area up

22:58

and make these kind of behavior stop.

23:01

You just have to have a DA

23:03

that will you have to have a

23:05

legislature or a judiciary that will keep

23:08

these people off the streets. Let's jump

23:10

to this next story derivative

23:13

police move into clear Gaza camp from Portland State

23:15

University Library Arrests made. It's not so much of

23:17

this story that I want to talk about. It

23:20

is a video explaining

23:23

and helping you understand what's going on. I

23:26

can tell you very simply Portland is the

23:29

city equivalent of a mom

23:31

at an ice cream shop with her nine-year-old

23:34

son who's going mom. I want three scoops

23:36

of ice cream. It's okay. Please just stop

23:38

yelling and I'll give you whatever you want.

23:40

That's what it is and I'll show you

23:42

with this video from Ali London students

23:45

wearing let me pause real quick students wearing

23:47

masks and bike helmets charged at police is

23:49

in garbage can shields as they rush towards

23:51

police. They trip over and fall in the

23:53

dirt. It's awesome. Well, here's here's the video

23:56

of the police making the arrests of these criminals

23:59

and here's how they respond. This

24:01

is hilarious. Look, look, they're charging.

24:03

They're charging the police. Go get

24:06

them buddy. You got this. Yeah.

24:09

Yeah. Here we go, watch.

24:11

It's so good. This person on the right. Actually

24:16

charged and attacked a police officer. You're

24:18

going to jail man. With a garbage

24:20

can. That's a felony. Look

24:22

at this. Look. He did.

24:24

I want to say this. First,

24:27

I am grateful these people are

24:29

so stupid that they're, and

24:31

they're playing make believe that they are using

24:33

garbage cans. Because we don't want these people

24:35

to be going out with actual weapons or

24:38

anything like this. But they may as well

24:40

be going out with plunger darts bought from

24:42

Walgreens with a little tongue go and a

24:44

little suction cups on it. They have Nerf

24:46

guns. They're like, we got this. It's better

24:48

than them going out there and actually being

24:50

violent. But it shows you these kids are

24:53

playing. They're playing like children with plastic shields

24:55

and charging in a police thinking they're playing a

24:57

game. And it's because the adults

24:59

have left the room. They're

25:01

not, they're not taking care of

25:04

the young people in this. And now you've

25:06

got a bunch of permanent children running around

25:08

smashing things. You take a look at that

25:10

video from Columbia where the police barricade the

25:13

door and the woman goes, Oh my God,

25:15

it's fine. The holes. Can I

25:17

go home? It's like, lady, you're committing felonies. You're

25:19

probably going to go to jail. You're not going

25:21

home. I blame their

25:23

parents. A whole

25:26

generation of disgusting, lazy,

25:28

spineless, disaffected parents.

25:31

And I'm offended by

25:34

it. I think Bad Religion wrote a song about

25:36

it. I think

25:38

one of the interesting things with

25:40

all of this is that they are

25:43

such a hive mind that they're looking for validation.

25:45

You know that one guy with the trash can,

25:47

you know, she was like, this is my moment.

25:49

I am a hero for the cause. Here we

25:51

go. What does he think was going

25:53

to happen? There's no long term. And

25:55

in other words, Portland is having a terrible

25:57

time. There aren't that many police.

26:00

in Portland, I think in 2021,

26:02

police recruitment hit an all time low and crime was just

26:04

on the rise. I mean, I don't

26:06

think anyone who's interested in law enforcement is

26:09

like, and I'll be a police officer in

26:11

Portland because they don't want to deal with

26:13

this, right? If you could get a nice

26:15

job in a nicer suburb or, you know,

26:17

in Idaho or somewhere else, you would do

26:19

that because this is just ridiculous. And I

26:21

think ultimately, you're kind of at the mercies

26:23

of these impulsive perma children. I think

26:25

these kids are actually surprised that the

26:28

cops are going to do anything because

26:30

the expectation and the tradition and

26:32

the history of the last whatever it is four or

26:34

five years is that we can

26:36

do whatever we want. And no one's going to,

26:39

no one's going to push back. And, and then

26:41

he, then he's on his ass and what just

26:43

happened? Well, that's not how it is. Not only

26:45

that, like, like Tim was saying,

26:47

this is probably a symptom of kids that

26:49

have not had any real discipline growing

26:51

up right now. I'm not talking about physical

26:54

discipline, but like I

26:56

know, yeah, I know there are a lot

26:58

of people my age that are raising kids

27:00

that they haven't, their kid has never heard

27:03

them say no. You know that

27:05

like has never heard the kid in ice cream shop

27:07

screaming that he wants an extra scoop. That is, that

27:09

is what's going on with a lot of this. And

27:11

then they run into reality, which

27:13

is a police officer that said, that has

27:16

been told, no, all these kids are going

27:18

to jail. So all those police officers are

27:20

going to round you up and they're going

27:22

to throw you into a, into a van

27:24

to bring you to jail. And the problem

27:26

is, however, when things like

27:28

this happen, where the kid charges a

27:30

cop full speed with a plastic shield,

27:33

like a moron, some

27:36

people just know there's a better way to do things

27:39

like bundling your home and auto insurance with

27:41

all states or going to

27:43

the grocery store for milk instead of buying your own

27:45

cow. You

27:47

know, there's an easier and better way save

27:50

up to 25% when you

27:52

run the home and auto with Austin. available

28:00

savings off the home policy. All state vehicle and

28:02

property insurance company and affiliates north of Illinois. They'll

28:05

likely just get let go. Now

28:07

they may get charged or something and then their

28:09

parents are gonna complain. You take a look at

28:11

when they when they were torching DC during Trump's

28:14

inauguration, the protesters got paid

28:16

millions of dollars. It broke down to several thousand

28:18

dollars each or something like that or

28:20

it could have even been more than I think it was like over

28:22

a million bucks split between a couple hundred people. So

28:25

the adults have left the room. These are

28:27

20 year olds who are behaving like seven year

28:30

olds. Their behavior will not change. They

28:32

have no honor, they have no integrity, they have no

28:34

other thing of how the world works. I

28:36

beg and pray that they get the world

28:38

they're asking for because then they will cry

28:41

buckets when they realize what they've done to

28:43

this beautiful society that we once had. They're

28:45

literally getting it now. No they're not. No,

28:47

but I'm talking about getting the fighting with

28:49

cops and stuff like that. But that's make-believe

28:52

for them. They're getting let go. I'm talking

28:54

about when bears are roaming the city streets

28:56

because there's no police anymore. When a guy

28:58

breaks into their house and they're going, oh

29:00

no, why am I being robbed all of a

29:02

sudden? There's human crap all over the streets and

29:05

every time this stuff happens they just go, I

29:07

blame the cops. There's a there's a great post.

29:09

You know let me let me see if I can pull this up from

29:12

Defiant, Defiant Ls. You

29:15

guys know Defiant Ls on Twitter and Instagram? Let me let

29:17

me pull this one up. See if I can

29:19

find it. And it's I

29:21

don't think Instagram wants me to actually find it. Okay here

29:23

we go. Let's see if

29:26

I can pick this one up. Here we go.

29:28

Joshua P Hill says, today starts with

29:31

cops attacking students for their solidarity with

29:33

Gaza in Atlanta, Chicago and Princeton, New

29:35

Jersey. The Free Palestine Movement like every

29:37

single movement for a better world requires

29:39

the abolition of the police. And

29:42

then two days later he tweeted, white

29:44

supremacists are now marching in Charleston, West

29:46

Virginia with no police in sight. Children.

29:50

The abolition of the police. So

29:52

there's like all of these cities

29:54

but Portland again is this festering

29:58

example of everything they do. wrong. It's not, they

30:02

talk about restorative justice, but what they mean is

30:04

catch and release. No matter what you do, no

30:06

matter what you burn, no matter what you break,

30:09

we're going to pick you up and

30:11

then let you go without even being

30:13

arrested. And we've done a documentary about

30:16

restorative justice. Real restorative

30:18

justice teaches young people

30:20

who do something wrong, accountability.

30:22

They have to say, I did

30:24

that, I stole that. And I feel they had to look

30:26

their victim in the eye. And instead,

30:29

what they say in Portland, oh, this is

30:31

restorative justice, but it's just, it's no justice

30:34

at all. Right. It's no responsibility. They're not

30:36

being taught to take ownership of their actions.

30:38

Yeah, there's no accountability. I thought, you know,

30:41

I'm a little spring up all the college campus protests,

30:43

but I think this is something we're seeing with the

30:45

generation of children who are told activism

30:47

and virtue signaling is the most important

30:49

thing that you could do, prioritize it

30:51

over anything else. I think, agree, I

30:53

agree, there's sort of a lack

30:55

of discipline in the home. There's a lack of consequences, but

30:59

they think that they are on the right side of

31:01

history. And therefore, there aren't consequences, which is very different,

31:03

I think, than people who did protests for civil rights

31:05

in the past, or, you know, other people who have

31:07

taken, who have, who have taken to protesting as a

31:09

form of political activism. I

31:11

think previously, people knew you were taking a risk

31:13

that you would face arrests, that there

31:16

could be consequences, especially long term, but you really felt

31:18

like this was worth it. This is like the

31:20

opposite saying we shouldn't face consequences, because

31:23

what we're doing is the most important

31:25

thing ever. It's almost delusional. I thought,

31:29

again, I think I talked about this a little bit too

31:31

much, but like, when you're a young person, if you're looking

31:33

around, and even if it's just 30% of

31:36

people your age, if they're acting like this, does that make

31:38

you want to be like that? I mean, if

31:40

you grew up in Portland, or if you went to college there,

31:42

and you love it as a city, but you're watching it get

31:45

torched, do you look at these people and say, well, keep up

31:47

the good work, this is going great. Or do you say like,

31:50

I think I think of myself as being on

31:52

sides with you, but actually, you're making my life

31:54

impossible. It's

31:56

I mean, I think what happens is that

31:58

people take the easy path. then you either

32:00

flee or you join. Yeah.

32:03

And that's why Portland is

32:05

burning. Do you think there's something unique

32:07

about Portland that made it the

32:09

hotbed? Yeah, they tolerated

32:12

too much BS very

32:14

early on and it became like a

32:16

cool thing to do. Like this is like a day

32:18

camp for these kids, right? This is a fun thing

32:20

to do. They're part of the cool kids. And

32:23

now they're gonna F around and

32:25

find out that maybe

32:27

at some point, even

32:30

these cities don't tolerate that kind of

32:32

behavior because it's a very practical thing.

32:34

Like if they run out of a

32:36

tax base, at some

32:38

point the government says, you

32:40

know what? I don't think so. I think people leave.

32:43

I think what happens, what

32:45

we are seeing is when

32:47

the summer of love happened, those

32:49

who are more inclined to merit, to

32:52

build and be responsible leave, what's

32:55

left is, well, what happens

32:57

if you have 10 children in

32:59

the classroom and the teacher goes, I

33:01

can't do this, I'm done and leaves. Well,

33:04

the kids are gonna start just doing random things. They're gonna

33:06

trash the place. They're gonna be drawing all over the walls.

33:09

It's gonna be bed. So

33:11

I'd like to believe that in Portland,

33:14

there's a breaking point and people

33:16

finally say enough. We need to get our city in order.

33:18

I don't think so. Property values go down.

33:20

So the people who own buildings will be like,

33:23

I better just sell this. Well,

33:25

they're not gonna get their asking price. So we'll sell it a loss to

33:27

someone who's thinking, wow, 10% under market, I'll take

33:29

it. And then they go, oops, I shouldn't have bought this. Property

33:32

values will continue to tank. Many people will

33:34

probably default on their loans. We're

33:36

already seeing this in San Francisco

33:38

where large corporations like the Westfield

33:40

Mall and I believe it was,

33:42

what was it? The Hilton or there was

33:44

another hotel, basically told their

33:46

creditor, you know what? You can have it

33:49

buy and just dipped out and abandon an

33:51

entire mall like in the middle of the

33:53

city saying, there's

33:55

no point. So what's happening when you have no

33:58

community is that no one wants to be there.

34:00

the person to lay the brick so

34:02

that every day we can have shelter. I've

34:06

experienced this growing up and

34:08

it's disheartening but throughout my

34:10

life I have found it

34:12

has become increasingly difficult to convince people

34:14

to do any amount of work. I

34:17

believe it's the millennial generation. I believe millennials

34:19

are mostly lost. They want everything and they

34:21

want to do nothing. I

34:24

remember back when I was living in

34:26

Chicago skateboarding and I went to all of my

34:28

friends and I said we're always complaining about the

34:30

harsh winters and our inability to skate. If each

34:32

of us contribute only 50 bucks a month we

34:35

can rent an indoor space and they went okay

34:37

you do it and then let me know. I'm

34:39

like there you go now you'll never have it but I'll

34:41

tell you what when I save the money and I get

34:43

it you're not coming because you're lazy you don't want to

34:46

contribute and then what happens then they expect to be able

34:48

to be let in. What's happening now

34:50

is the people who live in these cities have

34:52

no community and they say and

34:54

they and they decide I'm gonna leave

34:56

I don't want to spend any money here anymore

34:58

and then one by one the building falls apart

35:00

everything starts going to crap and then you end

35:02

up with San Francisco and there's just poop all

35:05

over the streets and the businesses are abandoned by

35:07

massive corporations and there's no one to come in

35:09

and fix it because nobody wants to lose money.

35:12

Who's gonna spend 10 million dollars in

35:14

San Francisco hoping the city turns around

35:16

and their investment improves? Nobody and you

35:19

see that in like you saw it

35:21

in Detroit like after 2008 after the

35:23

auto crisis

35:25

not that Detroit was doing great before that

35:27

but like after that there was a serious

35:30

exodus of people like and it's really really

35:32

hurt like flint's a mess like these areas

35:35

have like really been been affected

35:37

and you in fact you can see it

35:39

throughout the whole rust belt like as companies

35:41

leave jobs leave and that

35:43

hurts the place you know the people of

35:46

those places. So if you have I am

35:49

Sean actual justice warrior

35:51

he's I am Sean 90 I think he says

35:54

all the time and I think he's right like

35:57

poverty doesn't drive crime but crime

35:59

drive. poverty because crime makes investment

36:01

leave the area. Crime makes people

36:04

that have means leave. If you

36:06

have the means to leave that

36:08

means you're left with poor people,

36:11

your tax base dries up because

36:14

even though people refuse to acknowledge

36:16

it all of the taxes are paid

36:18

by a small percentage of Americans so

36:21

if you drive the wealthy people away

36:23

those are also the people that are

36:25

paying taxes that means your services get

36:27

worse, your schools get worse, your police

36:29

forces get worse. All of this stuff

36:32

is downstream from crime, from unsafe

36:34

cities. You need to have and

36:37

this was something that I was

36:39

with complaining about like when people

36:41

started talking about ACAB like the

36:43

whole ACAB sentiment right not

36:46

the idea that communities

36:48

don't support your

36:50

police forces that was going to

36:52

always mean that you were going

36:55

to get a lower quality police

36:57

force and we're seeing those results

36:59

now. Someone super chatted

37:02

saying that they think it was the bad parents

37:04

a jazzenot says bad parents were Gen X I

37:06

don't think so Gen Xers for the most

37:09

part had Gen Z kids and Gen Z kids are

37:11

turning out to be relatively based maybe

37:13

it's because of because of their

37:15

circumstances but I do believe that

37:17

many boomers were bad parents. I

37:20

certainly think there are great boomers and there are many

37:22

boomers who had have great kids and were great parents.

37:25

I think the boomers gave us Star Trek

37:27

the next generation brilliant but there

37:29

are a lot of boomers who were like

37:31

I don't know what post hippie lazy do

37:34

whatever you want for their kids and now

37:36

their kids are running around smashing things shaving

37:38

their heads and they're they're gonna

37:40

struggle to survive. If any one

37:42

of these kids in Portland and I know they're adults

37:44

over the age of 20 but

37:46

they're functional children you

37:49

take 10 of those kids and

37:51

you teleport them instantly into I don't know middle

37:53

of the middle of Alaska. Oh they're

37:56

done it's just it's just over now

37:59

imagine you take ten young Amish

38:02

people and blink they're all of a sudden

38:04

in the middle of the woods they're gonna be like well let's get

38:06

to it and you come back in a week and there's a village

38:08

and you're like wow these people know how to

38:10

build. Do you remember when

38:12

AOC so infamously said my generation

38:15

has never known true prosperity and

38:18

it was a

38:20

great punchline but I tried to take it seriously and

38:22

I've this half-baked sort

38:24

of Jordan Peterson meets Ayn

38:26

Rand sort of theory about this that

38:29

we have a problem in that

38:31

the capitalist system actually creates tremendous

38:33

prosperity and the big question

38:35

is do you do I get a third scoop of ice cream

38:37

or do I get the new iPad or you know

38:39

what is what is my trauma going to

38:42

be because I don't have everything that I

38:44

need and I think I think there's a

38:46

crisis in meaning when people don't

38:48

have to work for anything and

38:51

there's there's there's a dignity that comes from work

38:53

and this is the Jordan Peterson part but maybe

38:55

also the Ayn Rand part that the struggle itself

38:58

trying to do something with your life and

39:00

if you never had to do any of

39:03

that you're lost you have no meaning you

39:05

have no purpose so you see Antifa

39:07

or whatever and you're like it I'm gonna

39:09

I'm gonna go join that because I got

39:12

nothing else yeah I agree I also think it

39:14

creates a sense of envy I think when you

39:16

have a lot of people who don't really have

39:18

purpose when they look at people who do they're

39:21

filled with jealousy and they're they can't always name

39:23

it but they're like you

39:25

are living life in a way that I subconsciously

39:27

know I want and therefore the fact that you

39:29

have something I don't is a threat to me

39:32

and I think that's part

39:34

of sort of the materialism that comes with a

39:37

generation that grew up in prosperity right that

39:39

they have so much that they can't think

39:41

of life without it and they

39:43

therefore can't empathize with like what

39:46

they actually need to do to create a

39:48

life for themselves that's meaning meaningful it

39:51

is wild to me how many

39:53

people that I know who grew up you

39:56

know very comfortably a lot of them who

39:58

parents were together provided for them You know

40:00

they went to college. We'll turn around and be like well

40:02

capitalism is a terrible system Then

40:05

tell me which one you would rather live under

40:08

because you have gotten everything you want out of

40:10

life because of the system That that you are

40:12

now deciding is so evil But they don't think

40:14

they have it they don't they

40:16

don't understand what they have because they didn't ever

40:18

have to get it and They always

40:20

they want something else. They're lost for

40:22

meeting and so they're jealous of the

40:25

idea that they're something they don't have Well,

40:27

let's let's move on to this next story

40:29

and we'll get into social drama The

40:32

New York Post reports daily

40:34

wire obtains gag order against

40:36

Candace Owens despite Ben Shapiro

40:38

wanting debate report We

40:40

also have the original reporting from Glenn

40:42

Greenwald who says as the daily wire

40:44

publicly negotiated debate with Candace Owens It's

40:46

secretly sought and obtained a gag order

40:48

against her The argument being

40:50

that the reason why the debate has never happened

40:53

is because while Candace Owens was saying let's debate

40:55

and they were working Out the details behind the

40:57

scenes the daily wire was saying she can't say

40:59

these things and thus there won't be a debate

41:02

I do believe that Glenn Greenwald's other

41:04

do my bias. I think

41:06

Glenn Greenwald's report is biased itself and

41:09

I think it's largely due to Glenn

41:12

Greenwald's bias against Israel, but There's

41:16

probably something here. I think

41:18

there's more to it than simply the daily

41:20

wire was like Uh-oh, if Candace Owens debates us

41:22

we'll look stupid We better seek a gag order

41:24

because no arbitrator is gonna be like well, that's

41:27

legitimate There's going to be something else behind this.

41:29

It looks like the story might be that Candace

41:32

Owens retweeted a video of Andrew Schultz

41:34

saying Ben Shapiro has exposed himself as

41:37

someone who can only debate debate college

41:39

students and Can't actually debate anybody for

41:41

real and the daily wire took issue

41:44

with that and subsequent Posts which

41:46

were like likes and retweets that were basically insulting

41:48

and disparaging the company and they said hey knock

41:50

that off In Glenn Greenwald's

41:53

reporting They mentioned two

41:55

statements one from Candace Owens saying

41:57

he's that he writes when asked for comment to

41:59

be included the story, Owens replied, I wish

42:01

I could comment on this, but I can't,

42:03

can neither confirm nor deny. And

42:06

then when I'm to say boring, said, your story

42:08

is inaccurate to the point of being false, though

42:10

he did not specify a single inaccuracy, nor did

42:13

he deny that the Daily Wire had sought and

42:15

obtained a gag order on Owens, at the same

42:17

time they were publicly posturing as wanting a debate

42:19

with her. The confirmation we

42:21

obtained of all these facts is indisputable. Boring

42:24

added, I'm sure you could appreciate how fraught a high

42:26

profile breakup like this is for that reason we're trying

42:28

to resolve our issues with Candace privately. The

42:32

issue I see right here, and this is the

42:34

example that I use, is that when it comes

42:36

to statements from Candace Owens, they're fine to accept

42:38

that she says, I can't talk about it. When

42:41

Boring says, you know,

42:43

we're trying to keep this private, they insinuate

42:45

that because he's not going into detail, it

42:47

implies untoward behavior. That's why I say Glenn

42:49

Greenwald's biased on this one. That

42:51

being said, the story is interesting, and I'm curious what you

42:53

guys think as to the

42:55

debate between Candace and Ben Shapiro and

42:58

Israel and all that jazz. It

43:00

strikes me as hypocritical. I'm

43:03

mostly on Team Candace on this

43:05

one because the Daily Wire has

43:08

made a brand out

43:10

of being pro-speech.

43:14

I get contracts and I get bad

43:17

breakups with businesses, but

43:19

this seems particularly duplicitous,

43:22

saying that I want to debate you, but I'm

43:25

going to legally shut you down so that I never have

43:27

to debate you. I

43:29

don't like it. But that's the assumption

43:31

that's being made by Glenn Greenwald. The

43:34

argument being that Glenn's effectively making an

43:37

opinion piece where he says, we have

43:40

evidence of a gag order and that is why

43:42

there is no debate. It

43:44

would certainly seem that in a legal context, if

43:47

the Daily Wire was seeking a gag order, no

43:49

arbitrator would agree with them if they were also

43:51

publicly asking for a debate. So there seems to

43:53

be components of the story missing. First

44:00

off, this weekend that all this was up, he had some

44:02

of the funniest takes in response to all of this. He's

44:04

a fun follow if you guys want to check him out.

44:08

From what I read from his coverage today, part

44:10

of the issue is that the

44:12

Daily Wire is saying that by calling

44:15

for this debate, she violated her

44:18

agreement with the company, which again,

44:20

I don't really feel like I have a dog

44:22

in this fight, but I think it seems strange

44:24

that they're saying this back and forth that you

44:26

had on Twitter calling for this debate is the

44:28

violation of the contract when also Daily Wire employees

44:30

were participating in it. That

44:32

was in it until he had to log off for religious

44:34

reasons and then Jerry Boring picked it back up. It

44:37

does seem slightly confusing to

44:39

me that they were publicly

44:42

having this debate with her and then maybe

44:44

later went back and said, actually, we've decided that

44:46

that was a violation of our contract. Yeah,

44:48

no, I agree with that. If they're engaging in

44:50

the conversation and the

44:52

argument being that Candace Owens posting Andrew

44:55

Shult and other things was disparaging,

44:59

it seems strange that they would engage

45:01

in that debate with her.

45:03

Yeah, it's hard to know without knowing all

45:06

the language of their contract. Again, it seems

45:08

like such an internal debate that I'm always

45:10

wary to comment on what's going on with

45:12

another company just because we

45:14

could never know for sure unless you're on the ground.

45:17

Again, from what I read from

45:20

Chris Berman today, this fight

45:22

that was going on is the problem, but

45:24

again, they both participated in it. But

45:27

it seems like the only news we really have on it is

45:29

from Glenn Greenwald. I

45:32

mean, this is what really got

45:34

me. It's like, he's like, why isn't Boring,

45:36

he says, he did not specify a single

45:38

inaccuracy, nor did he deny. Well,

45:40

he also says, we're trying to keep this private. When

45:43

Candace Owens says, can I have to confirm or

45:45

deny, they stop there and they just don't even entertain

45:47

why she would say that. Obviously, she's being gagged, right?

45:49

So they just go, okay, thank you, Candace. Now

45:51

why won't Boring elaborate? Well, because if you go

45:53

to arbitration, the arbitration says, we are

45:55

going to enforce a gag order. Jeremy, you also have to shut the

45:57

F up. What

46:00

may have happened is someone

46:02

at the company said, Candace is posting

46:05

and liking these things. Then they

46:07

pulled in the Andrew Schultz thing, went to the

46:09

arbitrator and said, this is a violation of the

46:11

non-disparagement. And then

46:13

he said, well then you guys all need to

46:15

stop posting as well. And they went, okay. And

46:17

they told Candace, you need to, the arbitrator says

46:20

both, like everyone's stopped posting. And now the Daily

46:22

Wire is getting flack because they're not answering Glenn's

46:24

questions. Yeah, and I can understand from

46:26

Glenn Greenwald, him saying like, your reporting is

46:28

false to the point of inaccuracy. Like you

46:31

take that personally, especially when

46:33

you're then like, okay, tell me why. And

46:35

he's like, I can't, which Jerry Boring might

46:37

be legally bound not to. It's just, it's

46:40

a very specific criticism to Levietta

46:42

reporter. Your reporting is

46:45

incorrect to the point of inaccuracy. Like,

46:47

but you can't tell me where I went

46:49

wrong. I don't know. I would be uncomfortable with it as

46:51

well. Not that, you know, that

46:54

excuses any bias. Look, I'm

46:56

not even sure what this beef started as

46:58

anymore, to be honest with you. Like, I

47:00

don't know if any of us do. I'm

47:02

not, I don't know. Like the idea that

47:05

the Daily Wire says that they wanna actually,

47:07

if that's the case, that they would say, okay, we

47:10

want to actually debate with

47:12

you, but then in back channels, if that's

47:14

the case, that's probably

47:16

the lamest thing that you could possibly do.

47:18

You know, otherwise, like I said,

47:22

I'm not even sure like what

47:24

they're gonna debate about like, is

47:26

it like just like, is Israel good or is Israel bad?

47:28

Is it anti-Semitic to say we shouldn't fund Israel and stuff

47:30

like that is calling, is claiming

47:32

that Israel's policy is similar to the

47:35

Nazis anti-Semitic. This podcast is

48:37

of it. Well, I mean, if they're

48:40

gonna have the if they're gonna have the debate,

48:42

like the debate, shit are gonna pot. I wonder

48:45

if the real issue is that, like

48:47

Ben and Jeremy are going back and forth. And

48:50

then someone else because there's other interested

48:52

investors involved said, Hey, I don't

48:55

care. Y'all need to shut up because she's in

48:57

violation of non disparagement. And we don't want to

48:59

deal with this. It's probably stupid and boring. Right?

49:01

Yeah. And there.

49:05

Okay, ultimately, what this comes to is, the

49:07

real issue behind this is literally not

49:09

Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens and Daily

49:11

Wire having a gag order or not

49:14

a disparagement. We know what the real

49:16

underlying issue and the reason why this story is getting

49:18

the news, right? This

49:21

is real. Say it. It is real.

49:23

Course it is. It's people who are

49:25

obsessed with Israel. Glenn Greenwald is

49:28

hyper focused on Israel for a lot of reasons.

49:30

And I'm not saying it's wrong to me. There's

49:33

a lot of people who live or

49:35

die by just talking about Israel. It's

49:37

the only thing they care about. There

49:39

are a bunch of like post liberal

49:41

and disaffected liberals who

49:44

were very much Democrats come out now

49:46

on the anti woke side. When the

49:49

Israel issue happens, they're instantly standing alongside

49:51

all the far left as it pertains

49:53

to Israel. And so sure enough,

49:55

like I do believe Glenn Greenwald is

49:58

not a credible. reporter

50:00

on a lot of these issues and

50:02

there are other issues pertaining to That

50:05

I've questioned him on the past pertaining

50:07

to foreign foreign policy and reporting where

50:09

I think he is very very biased

50:12

So now you have the issue of Candace Owens why

50:14

she left the Daily Wire It's

50:16

funny because everyone's claiming it has to do with

50:18

criticism of Israel and I'm like Jeremy

50:21

boring actually defended her when she criticized like

50:23

Israel policy and like US funding. He said

50:25

she's welcome to be here she's allowed to

50:27

give her opinions and then

50:29

her contract ended and she left and now

50:31

everyone's like a hot because She

50:33

criticized Israel or it's like and I

50:35

don't know her contract ended and she left she Roger

50:38

could make more money somewhere else. She didn't want to work with these

50:40

guys. They don't get along and so she left Yeah,

50:42

I think I think the big thing is that there

50:44

was obvious tension between her and Ben Shapiro There's that

50:47

video of him. I think it was up some sort

50:49

of private dinner. You know criticizing her pretty intensely But

50:53

it's it is extremely difficult from the

50:56

outside to say, you know,

50:58

especially because we're in a political space like how

51:00

much is actual political ideological

51:02

difference as opposed to like personality

51:04

and contractual, you know debate I

51:07

think there are people who believe similar things

51:09

that don't get along and I think there are people who

51:12

Believe completely different things that do get along It's

51:15

hard to see when you're sort of enmeshed in all of

51:17

this which one is which I think I think

51:19

it is You know, no matter how please

51:21

I am sad to say that this debate isn't

51:23

gonna happen I think it would have been really

51:26

interesting Neither personality involved is obligated

51:28

to go into personal details on it But I

51:30

think some of the topics that they comment on

51:32

having having had the debate, you know I think

51:34

the Internet would have liked it the

51:37

Internet would have absolutely liked it. It would have

51:39

been a Absolute

51:41

s show though, I think personally so

51:43

why the Internet would love it. Well,

51:45

yes Let's in

51:48

in the vein of internet drama surrounding Israel

51:51

Let's jump to this next story which starts

51:54

with the defiant elves post that I'd mentioned

51:56

in a previous segment This

51:58

is where a I'll give

52:01

you the news right away. Nick Fuentes will

52:03

be un-banned on X. Elon Musk will reinstate

52:05

his account and allow him back on the

52:07

platform. How it begins. Welcome

52:09

to the Internet, my friends. Joshua

52:11

P. Hill in a tweet that

52:14

Defiant Els posted, he says, today starts with

52:16

cops attacking students for their solidarity with Gaza

52:18

in Atlanta, Chicago, and Princeton, New Jersey. The

52:20

free Palestine movement, like every single movement for

52:23

a better world, requires the abolition of police.

52:26

Two days later, he tweets, white

52:29

supremacists are now marching in Charleston, West Virginia with

52:31

no police in sight. That kid's a

52:33

commie, too. Yes, I'd imagine. And

52:35

super consistent in his thought, obviously. Elon

52:37

Musk then responds, goldfish

52:39

memory. He posted

52:42

completely contradictory demands only two days

52:44

apart. Certainly, if I

52:46

want to steal man his position, it's

52:49

actually that the police attacked

52:51

the free Palestine but didn't attack the white supremacists.

52:54

Not that he wants police to do so. But

52:56

we can certainly say, I don't think these people

52:58

think that deeply, and I'm not going to give

53:00

them the best of the doubt. In response to

53:02

Elon Musk's post, one

53:04

guy, Chris Futurist Z, says

53:06

you work for Jews to Elon Musk.

53:09

With a post from Nick Fuentes that reads, heh, what

53:12

does it say about our society that the cops

53:14

let BLM torch our cities but won't let students

53:16

criticize Israel? It means Jews

53:18

control America, that is the obvious conclusion.

53:21

I certainly don't think that logic is there,

53:23

but certainly Nick said it. And

53:25

Elon Musk responded, while I

53:27

don't condone all the actions of any one

53:30

group, I must admit to being openly philo-Semitic

53:32

and generally try to see the good in

53:34

all people. Goya

53:36

Bean Griper responds with this AI-enhanced

53:39

photo of Nick Fuentes. I don't know if

53:41

it's actually enhanced, I'm kidding. He says, bring

53:44

Nick Fuentes back on Twitter. He

53:46

has been banned since 2021. What happened to your

53:48

promise, big guy? Elon

53:51

Musk responds. Very well,

53:53

he will be reinstated, provided he does not violate

53:55

the law and let him be crushed by the

53:57

comments and community notes. It is better to have

53:59

Anthony whatever out in the open to

54:02

be rebutted then grow simmering in the darkness.

54:05

Ashley St. Clair responded, this will get enormous

54:07

backlash. But if it is to be

54:09

a free speech platform, it is the right move. I

54:11

say this as someone who has been viciously attacked by

54:13

his followers for years now. I do believe Nick was

54:15

also incredibly radicalized as a result of censorship. And

54:18

then Elon says, fate loves irony but

54:20

hates hypocrisy. I cannot claim to be

54:23

a defender of free speech but then permanently ban someone

54:25

who hasn't violated the law. No matter how much I

54:27

disagree with what they say. This will

54:29

probably cause us to lose a lot of advertisers

54:31

and makes me sad but a principle is a

54:33

possible. And thus, Elon Musk

54:36

has pledged to restore Nick Fuentes

54:38

and my comment on Twitter is

54:40

that seeing that I said Elon

54:42

Musk is based AF. I

54:45

think Nick is wrong. I think his logic is

54:47

not sound but I certainly believe he

54:49

has a right to say his opinions and be

54:51

challenged. And the example I'd like to

54:53

give is that woman from the Westboro Baptist Church famously

54:57

on Twitter spreading her views,

54:59

getting challenged and being de-radicalized

55:01

by the exposure to a

55:03

larger community. So

55:05

it's not like Nick has anything to

55:07

say that is worse

55:09

than other people on Twitter. There are

55:12

currently people on Twitter that say things

55:14

that are far more

55:16

offensive or whatever than Nick

55:18

says without a question. Guaranteed

55:21

just the fact that his name has left

55:23

my mouth means that my mentions are going

55:25

to have. There's

55:28

going to be a meme of someone pointing

55:30

at me saying you're a Jew or something like that.

55:33

Do you think he's the scapegoat for this issue though? I

55:35

mean he is but it doesn't matter because there's

55:37

always going to be, as long as you're not

55:39

banning people at all for talking, banning people for

55:41

talking about Israel at all, there's going to be

55:43

people that are going to say things that are

55:45

going to be buck wild that are going to

55:48

be like you'd expect to find on 4chan

55:51

and stuff unless you're really policing that. So

55:53

bringing him back is not going to make

55:55

Twitter or X any significantly

55:57

different. So I don't see the problem. What

56:00

do you think Matt? I unfortunately have

56:02

been exposed to Nick Fuentes

56:04

on random occasions and I've

56:06

never found anything to like

56:09

about him or agree with him on

56:11

but I agree with Tim that this

56:13

is a based move by

56:15

Elon Musk. You know thank God for

56:17

Elon Musk right now. Yeah. Until we

56:19

get a blockchain solution to social media.

56:23

All of our eggs are in the Elon

56:25

Musk basket and and I think that's right.

56:27

Let's community note the hell out of this

56:29

guy and and let's

56:32

forget Nick. I mean whatever he is,

56:35

he is but his followers could use

56:37

a little bit of exposure to some

56:39

other ideas. Yeah see

56:42

you know let's talk about the

56:45

comments where I said I don't believe his

56:47

logic is sound. There's

56:50

a basic logic test they do where

56:53

it's performed in IQ tests where they say

56:55

something like some

56:57

men are tall, some tall

56:59

people play basketball, therefore some men

57:01

play basketball and it's like okay

57:03

well yeah sure then some some

57:05

then there will be like all

57:07

men are taller than women all

57:10

you know and like you know the logic puzzle right so

57:12

when I say the logic is

57:14

that sound it's a great leap. There

57:17

is so much information missing in

57:19

that statement that to lead

57:21

to the conclusion that Jews control America because

57:24

some protests got shut down by the police

57:26

while many others were defended. I certainly

57:29

think there are interests that

57:31

are pro-Israel but here's here's

57:33

ultimately what it comes to and

57:36

I think I think the reason why Nick

57:38

should be allowed back on Twitter on X

57:40

by Elon and why Elon is based is

57:42

so that these conversations will emerge. The

57:44

conversation around I'll give you one example. You

57:47

have a lot of people especially a lot of Eliyahu

57:49

on the show was making reference

57:51

to certain comments about

57:53

Israel and he says don't you think that that's

57:55

anti-Semitic and I said criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic.

57:58

Israel is a government like any other country.

58:00

I don't hate Muslims when I criticize Saudi

58:02

Arabia for their policy towards Yemen because they

58:04

have nothing to do with Qatar or what

58:07

like Malaysia. Malaysia is a Muslim, right? And

58:10

so I think they have like blasphemy laws

58:12

over there too. I can criticize their government

58:14

and if their government adopts a theocratic system

58:16

of governments, I can criticize that too. The

58:18

problem is while you've got

58:21

people like Alad or Ben or other

58:23

people saying this thing, the inverse

58:25

is many of the fans

58:27

of Nick and I don't want to

58:29

say Nick does this personally because I

58:31

don't know, but his followers respond to

58:33

comments about Israel with

58:35

comments about Jews every

58:38

single time. Not all of them, I'm saying. Like

58:40

right now, there will be people

58:42

in the chat saying, Goy and

58:45

Shabbos and I'm like making references

58:47

to blanket broad Jewish practices because

58:49

of the government of Israel's actions

58:51

is exactly what Ben Shapiro and

58:53

Alad are talking about when they

58:55

say you are being anti-Semitic. And

58:57

so if you were to say

59:00

that because the military industrial complex

59:02

which has billions in hundreds

59:05

of billions invested in their

59:07

Middle Eastern outpost of Israel, if

59:10

you were to take the logic there

59:13

because the US is also funding Ukraine

59:15

much more right now than Israel, they're

59:18

not coming out saying Ukraine controls the United States.

59:20

Certainly there are arguments about the the APAC and

59:22

how long it's been around and the strength of

59:24

their lobbying and everything like that. But

59:27

the issue then becomes people

59:29

believe that because

59:32

politicians are upset,

59:34

you know, Biden in particular, over

59:37

people criticizing US military policy and

59:39

foreign policy, the response

59:41

is then Jews as a whole religious

59:43

and ethnic group are in control of

59:45

the United States. If you said Israel

59:47

controls the United States, I'd still say

59:50

we're wrong but at least that's closer.

59:52

And you can't, like very rarely can

59:54

you separate, not saying that there aren't

59:56

people that are separate that make the

59:58

arguments. have people criticizing

1:00:01

Israel in a public forum, the

1:00:03

people that don't like Jews are

1:00:05

gonna be right there with them.

1:00:07

So like being able to delineate

1:00:09

between people that are just criticizing

1:00:11

Israel as a state and

1:00:13

then people that don't like Jewish people, it's

1:00:16

real hard especially when you're dealing with like

1:00:18

random people on the internet or whatever. But

1:00:20

true of anything, right? Like any topic that

1:00:22

you're like, I'm criticizing this, the people who

1:00:24

actually hate, you know, if you were to

1:00:27

criticize the Catholic Church, people who hate Catholics

1:00:29

to their core are also

1:00:31

gonna be there, even if you just generally

1:00:33

have an objection to the institution. Here's

1:00:35

a quick question, you know, when it comes to the

1:00:38

issue of Ukraine and we've been just like rapidly

1:00:41

anti-funding of Ukraine,

1:00:44

no one's accused us of being

1:00:47

Ukrainian, no one's

1:00:49

been like, or like, or being

1:00:51

Ukraine-phobic or anything like that. The

1:00:53

way that people react about the

1:00:55

Jews is crazy. Like,

1:00:57

I mean, you can have a legitimate

1:00:59

conversation about Israel and that's fine, but

1:01:01

you still are going to attract some

1:01:04

people that are gonna say some whacked-out

1:01:06

shit about Jews. It happens. Is there

1:01:08

like an equal, I was thinking about

1:01:10

this when it comes to like, you

1:01:13

know, the argument that because there are so many,

1:01:15

because Jewish people are overrepresented in media and stuff

1:01:17

that shows that they control this that are otherwise

1:01:19

and I'm like, is there a similar argument about

1:01:21

like Arabic and Muslim control

1:01:23

of oil? Because I would

1:01:25

argue that oil actually is substantially stronger in

1:01:28

terms of control of this planet. Our

1:01:30

currency is backed by energy, of

1:01:32

which the most dominant form being petroleum

1:01:35

and coal. Our coal,

1:01:38

our dollars backed by the US Navy,

1:01:41

nuclear weapons. Right, but

1:01:43

the actual function of the dollar's value is

1:01:45

energy. What is the energy

1:01:47

output? And so when you print more, the backing

1:01:50

of currency, fiat or otherwise, is the

1:01:52

energy output. So when I

1:01:54

trade money to someone, I'm exchanging that for

1:01:56

at its root, how much energy they

1:01:59

can put into a system. in exchange for

1:02:01

me and the direction of that energy. I'd

1:02:04

say that the Middle Eastern nations controlling

1:02:06

massive portions of global oil trade, the

1:02:08

Houthi rebels, you know, firing, shutting down

1:02:10

the Red Sea, threatened like half

1:02:13

the world's oil trade. Are

1:02:15

we sitting here being like Muslims are

1:02:17

controlling America because of oil? Like look at

1:02:19

OPEC, look at Saudi Arabia. Saudi

1:02:21

Arabia doing weapons deals and then the US is

1:02:23

bombing Yemen on behalf of Saudis who are upset

1:02:25

about it. Do we come out and say Saudi

1:02:28

Arabia controls the United States? The funny thing is

1:02:30

you've got people posting on Twitter these conspiracy theories

1:02:32

that Israel was involved in 9-11 and I'm like,

1:02:35

Saudis were involved in 9-11 and Saudis are

1:02:37

dictating this policy over oil and getting us

1:02:39

to bomb people on their behalf. Where's the

1:02:41

argument that Saudis or Muslims control the United

1:02:43

States? Like the reason, people say

1:02:46

there's the reason that there's tension with Iran

1:02:48

is because of Israel and

1:02:50

there's some truth to that, but

1:02:52

they ignore the fact that there's

1:02:54

absolutely a fight between Iran and

1:02:57

Saudi Arabia. Iran's Shia

1:02:59

Muslim, Saudi Arabia's Sunni, like

1:03:01

there's all kinds of history

1:03:03

between the Persians and the Arabs

1:03:05

and stuff. There's all kinds of reasons for

1:03:07

Iran and Saudi Arabia to not get along

1:03:09

and if it wasn't for the fact that

1:03:11

Israel's there to take the heat, there

1:03:14

would still be regional conflict

1:03:16

between Iran and other countries

1:03:19

because it's not a monolith in

1:03:21

the Middle East. The

1:03:24

Kurds are fighting. There's still the civil war

1:03:26

in Syria. Sure, there's

1:03:28

the focus of Israel that everyone's

1:03:30

focused on now globally, but it's

1:03:32

not like the Middle East is

1:03:35

a peaceful area. Now granted, people are going to say,

1:03:37

oh, the US did it and there might be some

1:03:39

validity to

1:03:42

that, but even going back to

1:03:46

the last time, it'd have to

1:03:49

be before the Ottoman Empire before

1:03:51

when it was fairly at peace.

1:03:54

So it's not like Israel is the

1:03:56

only tinderbox in the Middle East. Middle

1:04:00

East. There are people who

1:04:02

have Israel de-arrangement syndrome and

1:04:05

they can't see any other context in

1:04:07

foreign policy. They can't see

1:04:09

any other context in Congress

1:04:11

and in government and it is

1:04:14

not too dissimilar to the woke where

1:04:17

they scream white privilege. There are

1:04:19

too many white people in finance. There are too many

1:04:21

white people in the military. There are too many white

1:04:23

people in movies. There are too many white people in

1:04:25

government. White people control this. White people did this. White

1:04:27

people did that. Then you have now people on the

1:04:30

left and the right who are like,

1:04:33

the Jews have too much control in

1:04:35

the housing market. They're over-represented in movies.

1:04:37

They're over-represented in politics. They're over-represented and

1:04:39

I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, great, great,

1:04:41

great. The privilege argument again. I'm not

1:04:44

interested. It's so frustrating talking about this

1:04:46

as a libertarian non-interventionist. I have the

1:04:48

Ron Paul view on

1:04:50

Israel versus Palestine which is, it's not

1:04:52

our business. Yep, agreed. Now

1:04:55

I have personal views. I have lots

1:04:57

of friends in Israel so I've had

1:04:59

some of them on my show and

1:05:01

I've had liberty perspectives on both sides

1:05:03

but the thing that happens and

1:05:05

I'm surprised that libertarians fall into this trap

1:05:08

when we talk about Netanyahu

1:05:11

or the Israelis or the

1:05:13

Palestinians is people immediately go

1:05:15

full collectivist blaming

1:05:18

the government of Israel for

1:05:20

or blaming all

1:05:23

Jews for the government of Israel or

1:05:25

saying that every Palestinian baby

1:05:27

that's getting killed right now

1:05:29

had it coming because they voted

1:05:32

for Hamas. Well that's just

1:05:34

dumb. This is about-

1:05:36

That baby didn't vote for anybody.

1:05:38

They probably didn't or they did. The baby literally did

1:05:40

not vote for anybody. Yeah.

1:05:43

But you can't always

1:05:46

lump this into some sort of

1:05:48

collectivist ideology. It's war. It's

1:05:50

individuals who are responsible for the actions that

1:05:52

are causing the war. There's

1:05:55

a war going on. I don't care. I

1:05:58

literally don't. People are like, you know, I see this as a war. and

1:06:00

when screaming about Gaza and I'm like, I don't

1:06:02

care. I look, human suffering is

1:06:04

bad, war is bad. There's war going on, everybody

1:06:06

claims they're right. How

1:06:08

about this? Can we have a protest for the Uyghur Muslims

1:06:10

in China? Because they're getting

1:06:13

brutalized by the Chinese government. All

1:06:15

the human trafficking victims who are brought across the southern

1:06:17

border. Oh yeah, let's do that. Hey, that one affects us.

1:06:20

That's what I care about. That's what we're in

1:06:22

our backyard, like literally attached to our

1:06:24

nation. I don't understand why Americans are

1:06:27

only motivated by things that

1:06:29

are happening abroad. I think compassion is good. I think

1:06:31

the loss of life is awful, but when

1:06:33

do we turn inward and say, hey, we

1:06:36

have a lot of problems internally and we

1:06:38

should start prioritizing them before we start intervening

1:06:40

on every side of this conflict, by the

1:06:42

way? It's possible that there's a

1:06:44

military industrial complex that propagandizes us

1:06:46

and makes us care. Yup, yup.

1:06:48

Matt'll definitely agree with me on

1:06:51

this. If we're

1:06:53

actually gonna be focused on like

1:06:55

serious problems and be America first,

1:06:58

I said it last night, I'm gonna

1:07:00

say it again, we have to focus

1:07:02

on unfunded liabilities, focus on Medicare and

1:07:04

Medicaid, focus on all that stuff because

1:07:06

the dollar is gonna be devalued like

1:07:09

mad. You're gonna see, if you think

1:07:11

the inflation that we're seeing now is

1:07:14

a big deal, it's gonna be, it's gonna

1:07:16

make the inflation that we've had in the

1:07:18

past couple years look like child's play and

1:07:20

that also will destabilize the whole world

1:07:22

if the US dollar

1:07:24

collapses, the problems

1:07:27

that will arise from an unmanaged

1:07:33

de-dollarization of the whole world cannot

1:07:35

be overstated. So if you're worried

1:07:37

about America, you

1:07:40

need to focus on getting in touch with

1:07:42

your representatives and making sure they know that

1:07:44

you want them to do something about the

1:07:47

unfunded liabilities in the national debt. These single

1:07:49

threats, bigger threats to national security, to

1:07:51

American way of life, fill

1:07:53

in the blank. Whatever it is you care about, you should care

1:07:56

about that. Please go on more. Well

1:07:58

why do you think people don't take it seriously? It's

1:08:01

an it's an abstract idea like the destruction

1:08:03

of the currency and like I was talking

1:08:06

Thomas Massey was on my show Just the

1:08:08

other night and we're talking

1:08:10

about there's a bill that would

1:08:13

seize Russian assets To

1:08:17

help fund the war in Ukraine I forget what

1:08:19

it's called and I'm and he's

1:08:21

like he realized that Russia buys a lot of US

1:08:23

debt and China buys a lot

1:08:25

of US debt and if the

1:08:27

new precedent is foreign countries that buy US

1:08:29

debt we can seize your stuff that

1:08:33

combined with the Payments

1:08:35

on the debt that combined

1:08:38

with massive Monetization

1:08:40

of all this money we're sending

1:08:42

overseas. This is how empires

1:08:44

die and Nobody's nobody

1:08:46

seems to care because it's an abstraction right

1:08:48

it's and they think Americans don't understand debt

1:08:50

themselves I mean they struggle

1:08:52

with mortgages credit card debt, you

1:08:55

know, look at how we got to student loan

1:08:57

debt I think the concept of debt is very

1:08:59

difficult for Americans to understand on the personal financial

1:09:01

level I can't imagine it being applied to the

1:09:03

the federal financial what they do understand is

1:09:06

that the dollars can't fill their grocery Card in

1:09:08

anymore and it's the same problem,

1:09:10

but it's personalized and I

1:09:12

think that's why that's why Trump can win

1:09:15

Because Joe Biden is is

1:09:17

just the economy's Awful

1:09:20

on a very personal tangible level. Yeah.

1:09:22

Well, let me have this story Let

1:09:24

me say one more thing real quick

1:09:26

people for everyone listening at home You

1:09:28

need to when you hear politicians talking

1:09:30

about mandatory spending. That's what they're talking

1:09:32

about So a lot of times they'll

1:09:34

use phrases in terms that people aren't

1:09:36

familiar with when they're talking about the

1:09:38

the the unfunded Liabilities they're taught when

1:09:40

they say mandatory spending. That's the stuff

1:09:42

they're talking about You have to

1:09:45

be aware of these kind of these kind of

1:09:47

these Determinology so you know what they're

1:09:49

talking about. That is the thing that will literally

1:09:51

kill America You want to worry about you

1:09:53

want to go and stuff your basement full

1:09:55

of food? This is what you're

1:09:58

actually stuffing your basement full of food food

1:10:00

because of because this is the biggest threat

1:10:02

to the US. Let's jump to

1:10:04

this next story about Trump from

1:10:06

Mediaite. This one was good. I

1:10:09

apologize for this update. CNN's

1:10:11

Jake Tapper reports on Michael Cohen's what we'll

1:10:14

say this second, Michael Cohen's tweets during

1:10:16

the Trump gag order hearing the gist of

1:10:18

the news is that Michael

1:10:20

Cohen has been going on TikTok and social

1:10:22

media disparaging Donald Trump to an extreme degree

1:10:25

and his campaign to the

1:10:27

point where now Donald Trump is being held.

1:10:29

He's having another contempt hearing

1:10:31

for gag order violations. But even

1:10:34

CNN is saying that Trump

1:10:36

has credibility because Michael Cohen

1:10:38

and earmuffs for your children, ladies and

1:10:41

gentlemen, Michael Cohen referred to Donald Trump

1:10:43

as Von Schitzenpants and

1:10:45

Jake Tapper apologized before reading it. Let me

1:10:47

just play this quick segment for you guys.

1:10:51

Yeah, generally speaking, if Mr. Trump were

1:10:53

not running for President of the United States,

1:10:55

this would be pretty open and shut. Who

1:10:57

cares? You just have to take it. Right.

1:10:59

But there is an argument here that

1:11:01

that Donald Trump running for President and his First

1:11:03

Amendment rights when it comes to responding to attacks

1:11:06

need to be respected. Absolutely. And this is

1:11:08

partly why they are hammering these Michael Cohen

1:11:11

points so so aggressively, because

1:11:13

the fact that these are probably of

1:11:15

the four arguments, the strongest one that

1:11:17

the Trump team has, it's someone who

1:11:19

is in some measure going back and

1:11:21

forth with the former president. Okay, I

1:11:23

apologize for this update ahead of time.

1:11:26

But Blanche, Todd Blanche,

1:11:28

Trump attorney is specifically reading

1:11:30

a post that Michael Cohen made

1:11:33

on Twitter on April 22. And when in

1:11:35

which he refers to Donald Trump as

1:11:37

Von Schitzenpants. That is just a

1:11:40

factual record that I am bringing

1:11:42

before you. This is in the

1:11:44

court transcript, Von Schitzenpants

1:11:47

Blanche also said, there are repeated attacks

1:11:49

on Trump and his candidacy on Cohen's

1:11:51

podcast and TikTok account. Dana Bash, I

1:11:53

know you want to weigh in on Von Schitzenpants. I

1:11:57

think he did it on behalf of all of us. record,

1:12:00

I have been calling it Von Poops and

1:12:02

pants for weeks now. But now it's a

1:12:04

part of the official transcript. I

1:12:07

do think that when it comes

1:12:09

to just the raw politics of

1:12:11

this, the argument that Donald

1:12:14

Trump is making out in

1:12:16

the world, not just when he comes into court and

1:12:18

when he leaves court, but when he's on social media, when

1:12:20

he's at his rallies about, I'm

1:12:22

gagged, I can't speak. When

1:12:24

you look at this, which we should say

1:12:26

he can speak about the judge, he can

1:12:29

speak broadly about a lot of things, it's

1:12:31

very narrow what the gag order is about.

1:12:33

But it does include Michael Cohen, because Michael

1:12:35

Cohen will be a witness. And

1:12:38

when Michael Cohen makes very

1:12:40

clearly political statements against Donald

1:12:43

Trump, it gives Donald

1:12:45

Trump a much more credible

1:12:47

political argument saying this is ridiculous,

1:12:49

that I can't smoke. Speak Blanche

1:12:51

just showed articles, quote unquote, talking

1:12:53

extensively about Trump's presidential

1:12:55

campaign. When when CNN is

1:12:57

forced to defend Donald Trump, it's not

1:13:00

looking good for these these Democrats in

1:13:02

this court case. Yeah,

1:13:04

it's interesting, because they started off by being like, well,

1:13:06

none of this would matter if he wasn't running for

1:13:08

president. And you're like, well, the whole

1:13:10

reason he's on trial is because he's running for president.

1:13:12

The audacity of this man, the judge

1:13:15

in this case did say when he issued the fine

1:13:18

the other day, I'm trying to remember

1:13:20

the exact terminology, but effectively, the

1:13:22

gag order is not supposed to be a

1:13:24

sword and shield for Trump's detractors, right? Like,

1:13:26

he acknowledged that this was being used as

1:13:29

an opportunity, I think, both by shorting out

1:13:31

and definitely by Cohen, to throw punches at

1:13:33

Trump when Trump is restricted on how he's

1:13:35

allowed to publicly defend himself. And,

1:13:38

and again, I find this to be a

1:13:40

really interesting case, sort of, you know, in

1:13:42

a nuanced way, because some of it is, you

1:13:44

know, he's retweeting posts. So is that actually

1:13:46

commenting on it? Other ones, he's, you know,

1:13:48

or whatever the Trump's truth, he's

1:13:51

Trumpeting, he's re quote, trumpeting these

1:13:53

things and he's alter them last

1:13:55

lame. And so

1:13:58

The context of which we're having. Who examined

1:14:00

a gag order with the new Us is

1:14:02

a Social media is fascinating but again is

1:14:05

this. This. Is not a great

1:14:07

look for anyone who is anti trump when

1:14:09

you're like this. this guy is actually making

1:14:11

is a look like idiots. Shudder

1:14:13

some good. Times

1:14:16

I don't have any friends. I have

1:14:18

enough to add which is all just

1:14:20

car like Michael Cohen and talking smack

1:14:23

about Donald Trump has been the same

1:14:25

thing forever. In the the fact that

1:14:27

there's a gag order on Trump is

1:14:29

ridiculous, dissolves the political his job, it's

1:14:32

just the whole thing is just garbage.

1:14:34

I want a wholesaler. Gag orders be

1:14:36

be applied to read sweets litigated always

1:14:38

anymore and I think this is fast.

1:14:41

And. Easy All it's all. It's all

1:14:43

election interference and the fact that we

1:14:45

have the that we have to entertain

1:14:47

this the ends We have to entertain

1:14:50

this process like it is cool merely

1:14:52

and. I. Don't want the

1:14:54

federal government to step in or anything

1:14:57

like that. but it is really frustrating

1:14:59

that there is no authority. You can

1:15:01

be like, look, someone has the real

1:15:03

as the coming in and be adults

1:15:05

says it's clearly not. You're clearly they

1:15:08

are not behaving like adults, are not

1:15:10

behaving like actually impartial. Ah, you know,

1:15:12

impartial jury And suddenly it's just it's

1:15:14

It all feels very venezuela to me.

1:15:17

I, I've been followed. This is as

1:15:19

close as you guys have because I

1:15:21

just dismiss it as that. This is.

1:15:23

Just. of the politicization of

1:15:26

the up the judicial process but

1:15:28

I have a over theory. Like

1:15:30

some people believe that Trump loss

1:15:32

the reelection. Because. Of

1:15:34

mean tweets. So. Could this

1:15:36

gag order actually daring to have a

1:15:38

landslide? I don't. I don't think From

1:15:40

Los has a mean tweets as a

1:15:42

it's because republicans were sitting around being

1:15:44

like. T.will occur as I think we're gonna

1:15:47

win this year debate and any other republican was like

1:15:49

if we keep telling the American people have that we

1:15:51

are then we're going to win the debate and Democrats

1:15:53

were sent They're going. And. I can We just get

1:15:55

people to put their names on a piece of paper? How many of those

1:15:57

can we get? Republicans. seem

1:15:59

the same And they thought the whole time I

1:16:01

was making the argument too. We all

1:16:03

thought that Trump making the argument

1:16:05

to the public was going to win him

1:16:07

an election. Wow, the economy is doing really

1:16:10

well. Gas prices are way down. Donald Trump's

1:16:12

coming out here and he's talking about his

1:16:14

plans. Makes a lot of sense. His—I said

1:16:16

his second term agenda looks great. I'm going

1:16:18

to vote for him. And Democrats

1:16:20

were going, oh, we don't even need a candidate.

1:16:23

Biden can just sleep all day. All

1:16:25

we got to do is get a bunch of people to put their names

1:16:27

on this paper, and then we have more paper than he has. And then

1:16:29

we win. And then they win. And

1:16:31

Trump loses. So if

1:16:33

they don't get on

1:16:36

board with the real game, which elections are about,

1:16:39

they're about getting as many pieces of paper

1:16:41

as you can that someone can run through a

1:16:44

machine. That's it. Nothing else matters.

1:16:46

But can I give a shout out to this other article? Cassandra

1:16:50

posted this one. I tell you. Trump

1:16:52

denies sleeping during trial. I simply

1:16:54

close my beautiful blue eyes. There

1:16:59

is just no one like him. It's so funny. And

1:17:01

I was definitely one of those people that was

1:17:03

like, well, you know, he's not classically presidential. He's

1:17:05

a little gruff, whatever it is. But like these

1:17:08

lines are hilarious. So I

1:17:10

make a point to try and listen to like MSNBC

1:17:12

and all the mainstream media every day because

1:17:15

I'm trying to lower my IQ. No, I'm

1:17:17

just kidding because I want to know what they're saying.

1:17:19

And this idea that Trump is falling asleep in trial

1:17:21

is like they're big, like the big

1:17:23

thing they're sticking to right now. Never

1:17:25

mind the fact that they're also made the jury is

1:17:27

falling asleep, especially when the banker was testifying

1:17:29

the other day. Like it's not fun

1:17:32

to be in court and sitting and listening to

1:17:34

boring stuff, but they are constantly

1:17:36

like they'll be like, and now joining us is this

1:17:38

guy who's been in the court all day. He'll be

1:17:40

like, yes, yes. Well, I can only see the back

1:17:42

of Trump's head. He doesn't appear to be sleeping. But

1:17:44

I've heard that he is sleeping. It's

1:17:47

so ridiculous. And that tells you, you

1:17:49

know, in between these comments on Trump, they're also admitting

1:17:52

like the prosecutors were not able to

1:17:54

get it. They were not able to get Cohen

1:17:56

to or anyone to officially confirm that Trump was

1:17:58

the person directing the money. It always

1:18:00

stops with Cohen and then they're sort of like, and

1:18:03

people thought maybe Trump. What was the latest

1:18:05

quote? It was like someone testified that Trump

1:18:07

was asking about the payment and he says,

1:18:09

what payment? Yeah, this is like regularly-

1:18:11

It's like, I don't know what you're talking about. Able to

1:18:13

build a case that it links to Cohen,

1:18:16

but they are not, from everything I

1:18:18

can see, they cannot definitively link Trump

1:18:20

to any of this. And every time

1:18:22

they'll be like, well, Pecker's the big

1:18:24

deal. Well, actually, this next guy's the

1:18:26

big deal. Actually, the key witness is

1:18:28

this person and every time someone comes

1:18:30

to testify so far, no one

1:18:32

has been able to do the thing that prosecution

1:18:34

death really needs to do, which is to link

1:18:36

Trump to these payments. So meanwhile, they're like, so

1:18:38

he's falling asleep. Well, I love

1:18:41

this because the way the media reports is

1:18:44

like what you were saying, they'll be like,

1:18:46

here we have John Smith, who was in

1:18:48

the courtroom during the trial. What happened?

1:18:50

He goes, well, I was sitting in the back and I could only see

1:18:52

the back of Trump's head. But after talking

1:18:54

with someone who's familiar with how Trump thinks, it

1:18:56

was obvious that Donald Trump during this trial was

1:18:58

imagining strangling the bailiff. And

1:19:01

then they go, oh, wow, Trump's so

1:19:03

violent. I got a news alert the other day, I think

1:19:05

it was Wall Street Journal that was like, he's

1:19:08

cold. There's no Diet Coke. Trump is miserable

1:19:10

in courtroom. And they're like, I think he's

1:19:12

actually been through a court way more times

1:19:14

than you've given him credit for. Like, yeah,

1:19:16

maybe he's saying it's cold there. Maybe it's

1:19:18

just unpleasant and not fun. And if you're

1:19:20

grasping at straws like this, I'm sorry, your

1:19:22

case is falling apart. I don't know why

1:19:24

Trump like, okay, so Trump truth contrary

1:19:26

to the fake news media, I did.

1:19:28

I don't fall asleep during the crooked

1:19:31

DAs witch hunt, especially not today. I

1:19:33

simply close my beautiful blue eyes sometimes

1:19:35

listen intensely and take it all in.

1:19:39

I also don't under if it were me, I'd

1:19:42

be like, oh, yeah, I was sleeping. See,

1:19:45

I like it. Who cares? Like, I don't

1:19:47

know why does it matter? I like

1:19:49

it better that he's just seriously meditating on the things

1:19:51

that everyone is trying to tell him. Didn't he say

1:19:53

was praying before? Also

1:19:57

Joe Biden falls asleep at all kinds of stuff like.

1:20:00

people fall asleep when sitting. I'm not that

1:20:02

worried about it. It is funny to me

1:20:04

that Trump is like my beautiful blue eyes because

1:20:06

he knows the media is gonna be like,

1:20:08

he's such a narcissist, he called his eyes

1:20:10

beautiful. I just

1:20:13

there's nobody like him. No, his

1:20:15

bill bar zinger is historic. Remember that

1:20:17

one? When he said I called what

1:20:20

I called Bill bar. Overweight,

1:20:23

slow, lazy and lethargic or

1:20:25

something. And now

1:20:27

thanks to his, I accept his

1:20:29

wholehearted endorsement and for this I will be removing

1:20:32

lethargic from my statement. Have

1:20:36

you played your rock opera version of that line? We

1:20:41

never, we struggled to make one that was good enough.

1:20:43

No, there was one that I thought

1:20:45

was so funny. We were using AI,

1:20:47

sorry for context. Oh yeah, you're right.

1:20:49

I gave that one to Seamus. I think Seamus is

1:20:52

working on a cartoon called the

1:20:54

corrupt criminal case of Donald J. Trump

1:20:57

using the rock opera we made about Trump's

1:20:59

truths. This one, we got to turn into

1:21:01

a rock opera song. I

1:21:04

mean, I think that also endears him like

1:21:06

if he lost for mean tweets, which I

1:21:08

don't think he did, I think he really

1:21:11

wins with people by giving off these like

1:21:13

nonplussed answers. I'm simply closing my beautiful blue

1:21:15

eyes. Let's

1:21:17

do this. Let's jump to a

1:21:21

completely just off-cycle story.

1:21:24

That's really interesting and I had talked about it earlier in

1:21:26

the day. A lot of people wanted to talk more about

1:21:28

it. This is from the Daily

1:21:30

Mail, how Baton Rouge school plagued by

1:21:32

racial tensions and violence drove military veteran

1:21:35

to spearhead successful campaign for wealthy white

1:21:37

residents to form new city of St.

1:21:39

George. The first thing I'd

1:21:41

like to do is insult the person who wrote that

1:21:43

headline because it's overly verbose and

1:21:45

doesn't really explain the story as the story

1:21:48

is massive. Baton Rouge

1:21:50

is effectively splitting into two

1:21:52

cities over crime With

1:21:54

the wealthier suburb, which is predominantly white

1:21:57

St. George becoming its own city. Them

1:22:00

a couple days ago. The interesting thing

1:22:02

is that there are many people arguing

1:22:04

that by having this while these of

1:22:06

a break off which is predominately white

1:22:08

seventy percent it is going to harm

1:22:10

and leave behind black families. I am

1:22:12

shocked that they would argue that racist

1:22:14

me that respect human. Black

1:22:16

families in Baton Rouge don't need a white people

1:22:19

to be there in order to succeed. Why they

1:22:21

would make that argument? But of course they're claiming

1:22:23

it's racist now. That. The people

1:22:25

who live in his committee voted for the run city.

1:22:27

So what say you panel? That

1:22:29

how do you feel about this. Reads: It's

1:22:31

not races rational. There's

1:22:33

if, is it based? In fact, It's

1:22:36

very based and there's a there's a

1:22:38

movement of i don't know about Louisiana

1:22:40

but in taxes there's a movements to

1:22:42

create new. Free. Cities that

1:22:44

that split off from places like

1:22:47

Austin. And it's simply about taxes.

1:22:49

As about regulations, it's about zoning,

1:22:51

It's about schools. It's about all

1:22:53

the things that normal people care

1:22:55

about. And and my guess is

1:22:58

that the Baton Rouge City government

1:23:00

is slightly better than Portland, Oregon.

1:23:02

But. Maybe. Not good

1:23:04

enough. Yeah, you're paying the taxes, so

1:23:06

why wouldn't you vote with their feet?

1:23:08

And why wouldn't she start a community

1:23:10

that is actually going to care about

1:23:12

basics like I want my trash picked

1:23:14

up? I would love for my kids

1:23:16

not to be transitioned in in middle

1:23:18

school. And I would love not to

1:23:20

get shot. Yeah, Spammers is where there

1:23:22

was a big deal am I at

1:23:24

and the case is still going on.

1:23:26

Where the police officer then sue the

1:23:29

organizer for being like you created a

1:23:31

dangerous situation house and there's a similar.

1:23:33

There was a similar effort in Atlanta

1:23:35

to create, I think so, but cats

1:23:37

as far as I know it's sort

1:23:39

of a speedboat. Arrival has never gone

1:23:41

through. But again, there was this criticism

1:23:43

and it's like all the wealthy white

1:23:45

residents want to split off. Ah, I

1:23:47

think that's an oversimplification to scare people

1:23:49

against the concept, right? If. If you're

1:23:51

living in an area, us and us are

1:23:53

doing pretty well. Regardless of race

1:23:56

and you think hey, this city is

1:23:58

being mis manage. I

1:24:00

don't want to sell my health my husband. The good part

1:24:02

of why don't we thought that makes sense to me I

1:24:04

think is is sort of air get of cities that are

1:24:07

being poorly managed to say will like you guys have to

1:24:09

go down with our ship you're not allowed to leave of

1:24:11

was all. He was already lives. Governance Yes

1:24:13

it's failure of governance of for you to

1:24:15

do the basic things to expect to city

1:24:17

government to do not serve mean the thing

1:24:20

is you can't if there if they are

1:24:22

wealthy people you can't make them stay. right?

1:24:24

Leg of even if this failed and i were like

1:24:27

while right for the of all those people can be

1:24:29

like well this sucks were leaving anyone would you rather

1:24:31

than you know the way or the rats and slid

1:24:33

off and live next door and me that of of

1:24:35

the he would rather. They stay in the state. To

1:24:37

the people of of Baton Rouge obviously

1:24:39

it's gonna matter. but to the people

1:24:42

then you know that want to leave

1:24:44

it doesn't matter if you cannot. You.

1:24:46

Cannot force people to

1:24:48

stay and the more

1:24:50

the state tries to.

1:24:53

The more it resembles you know

1:24:55

what you get when the state

1:24:57

tries to meet people stay in

1:25:00

an area and that has plenty

1:25:02

of historical analogues on all kinds

1:25:04

of you know different different given

1:25:07

degrees from from marginally annoying to

1:25:09

you know they're gonna throw you

1:25:11

into of into the en mass

1:25:13

graves be tried to leave so.

1:25:17

I wonderful see more and more of this

1:25:19

again. I think a discount the fact that

1:25:21

you're right, it's happening in Texas. Like I

1:25:24

said at the Atlanta one is not what

1:25:26

I'm most familiar with, but if you can

1:25:28

keep them there by labeling them racist, if

1:25:30

is that sort of the cloud lest. I

1:25:33

was want to live with racists? Why? Would

1:25:35

you want to live with for not as they

1:25:37

don't even want to be here? Let them go.

1:25:39

Ah like has this this this. Logic

1:25:41

falls apart. And. You

1:25:43

think will see this more and more in cities that

1:25:45

are. Some wriggling. I'm sure this is

1:25:47

happening in Baton Rouge, but but as

1:25:49

cities started, it's destroy their tax base.

1:25:52

They start to expand their boundaries and

1:25:54

encroached in the suburbs that weren't part

1:25:56

of their tax base. So part of

1:25:58

it is just like. It's like economic

1:26:00

warfare. Like, you're not going to do that

1:26:02

to us. We're going to separate from your

1:26:05

completely. If. They

1:26:07

would get their house in order. They wouldn't

1:26:09

have this problem. Yeah, you've gotta. Set.

1:26:11

Of Jefferson. Greater I

1:26:13

know if you've got a county in

1:26:15

Colorado trying to says sir, secede from

1:26:17

the state. This. Is actually

1:26:20

happening all over the country and the when

1:26:22

there is no solution to the people who

1:26:24

live there when they're demanding this is in

1:26:26

we get it a move and now we're

1:26:29

seeing geographic hyper polarization which is really bad

1:26:31

get but you're going to happen now here

1:26:33

and Battery St George. People. Can

1:26:35

afford to will move into the wealthy,

1:26:37

safe and secure area of yes George

1:26:40

and the poor people stay behind in

1:26:42

Baton Rouge. Doesn't fall apart and ninety

1:26:44

percent of this isn't one of the

1:26:46

to issues of By Instinct Redwoods, you

1:26:48

issue schools and also. The

1:26:50

crime so like. and there's also

1:26:52

there's violence at schools. It

1:26:56

really is Legs If you have the

1:26:58

an unsafe area where do we were?

1:27:00

There is no lot where the law

1:27:02

enforcement does not take care of the

1:27:05

population. The people with means leave that

1:27:07

area. That's just the way it is

1:27:09

it was can get out of if

1:27:12

it's dangerous and it's whether it's it's

1:27:14

the same as whether it's people that

1:27:16

are leaving a a town because they

1:27:18

don't like the school or refugees from

1:27:21

of war torn country. This is what

1:27:23

happens when people are unsafe and they.

1:27:25

Can leave, say get the hell

1:27:27

out of.the so this is This

1:27:30

is not some kind of shocked

1:27:32

and you're only gonna seats the

1:27:34

probably actual a solution is to

1:27:36

get competent government. Yeah, you can't really

1:27:38

hold order minded people hostage by saying you

1:27:40

have to stay here where there's chaos They

1:27:43

they are not going to do it. They're

1:27:45

gonna follow. Their principles and values and that

1:27:47

they want structure, order and safety. I

1:27:49

wonder if there's actually any kind of

1:27:51

solution to the issue of our. Self.

1:27:54

Segregation. Because. What I

1:27:56

see from this is if you don't allow

1:27:58

a city like St. George as. mentioning

1:28:00

people move, right? Yeah, well,

1:28:02

these wealthy white people are going to go move into wealthy white

1:28:04

neighborhoods. They're not going to decide

1:28:06

to go move into like central Chicago.

1:28:09

None of these wealthy families are going to

1:28:11

be like, I know, you know, 45th and the red

1:28:13

line sounds good, they're not going to do it. They're

1:28:15

not going to want to go there. So all that's

1:28:17

going to keep happening is more and more self segregation. But the

1:28:19

thing is, you know, I learned this from up in Chicago,

1:28:22

all of the races self segregate by choice, no

1:28:24

one, no one force them to do it. In

1:28:27

the early days, there was something called redlining, which

1:28:29

is where the real estate companies would intentionally

1:28:31

push black families towards red line

1:28:34

housing. They're like, we want to make them all

1:28:36

go there. Because it's it's it's a

1:28:38

racist housing market. They're concerned about the property values

1:28:40

if black families move into white areas or close

1:28:42

to them. So they want to control it. That

1:28:45

gets made illegal. Guess what happens? Nothing

1:28:47

changes. The Hispanic people start

1:28:49

moving here, Hispanic people, the white people move near

1:28:51

white people, and the black people move to live

1:28:53

in black communities. Now you've

1:28:55

got St. George, but if they were forced to

1:28:57

leave none of those people are going to move to

1:29:00

a Mexican neighborhood, or you know, a Honduran neighborhood, none

1:29:02

of them are going to move to a black neighborhood.

1:29:05

I mean, very rarely, some may, but for the

1:29:07

most part, they don't do it. People just segregate

1:29:09

based on race. That

1:29:12

I don't I don't know what the proposed leftist

1:29:14

solution to that is when people choose to do

1:29:16

it. Let this propose segregation based

1:29:18

on race. Like, well, I can't remember which school but

1:29:21

there was a college recently where the student, you know,

1:29:23

the African American student community was saying, well, we want

1:29:25

our own dorm. We don't, we don't have to live

1:29:27

in the house. Like, so is

1:29:29

that racist? Or are we cool with that one?

1:29:31

Like, no, that's the left likes

1:29:34

it. Yeah, there's a call for it. It's

1:29:36

okay. But if you were to be like, Hey, I'm

1:29:38

not saying it's a race thing. But I don't want to live in

1:29:40

a place where I'm scared to send my kids to school because they're

1:29:42

going to get beat up and all kinds of stuff, then you're ready

1:29:44

to be fair. The left has

1:29:46

no real morals and no real

1:29:48

ideology. The best example being Lance

1:29:51

from the serfs on this show

1:29:53

arguing that if a man is

1:29:55

attracted to a manly woman, he's

1:29:57

gay, but then tweeting out that

1:29:59

men being attracted to manly women is straight

1:30:01

because it's literally flavor of the month for these

1:30:03

people. They have no ideas behind anything

1:30:06

they're saying. For people that are making the argument

1:30:08

that you were referring to, it's

1:30:10

just a vector of attack. So

1:30:12

that's why like Jordan

1:30:15

Peterson would refer to it as

1:30:17

postmodern because it doesn't actually matter

1:30:19

like to them. It's just that

1:30:21

this is an attack that

1:30:24

will convince people watching and it's

1:30:26

a vector of attack that will

1:30:28

work. So they don't really believe it.

1:30:31

Like Tim says, it's not like they have any

1:30:33

belief in it. What

1:30:35

they actually believe is that words

1:30:37

have power and that's the postmodern

1:30:40

thing. So they use race

1:30:42

as an effective tool. It's nothing

1:30:44

more than an effective tool. That's

1:30:47

why it's conditional and it's different

1:30:49

depending on who's using it and

1:30:51

stuff like that because it's all

1:30:53

that postmodern garbage. It's also like

1:30:55

this is a microcosm of our

1:30:58

two different philosophies if I'm grossly

1:31:00

generalizing. One is centralization of power

1:31:03

and one size fits all and

1:31:05

we're going to run the city

1:31:08

the way that the ruling party believes

1:31:10

in. And I think our

1:31:12

side believes in localism. Like if

1:31:15

everybody in the Mexican American community

1:31:17

wants to self-gather in that community,

1:31:19

I think that's great. Or

1:31:22

maybe they want to mix it up. How

1:31:24

do we know what a robust culture

1:31:26

looks like unless we let people be

1:31:28

free enough to decide for themselves? What

1:31:32

do they value most? Do they value

1:31:34

being with people that look and sound

1:31:36

like them or do they

1:31:38

value diversity or are they just to

1:31:40

value a reasonable tax code that doesn't

1:31:42

totally screw you? Right. And

1:31:44

I think we talk about this a lot but I think one

1:31:46

of the biggest challenges facing the American right now is that we

1:31:49

don't have a

1:31:51

collective understanding of what our values

1:31:53

are and what our culture is

1:31:55

supposed to be. And so

1:31:57

that's why I love regional culture

1:31:59

in America. I think it's really interesting that

1:32:01

in Louisiana, there's a big Cajun influence, it's

1:32:03

a different language, and I would wanna preserve

1:32:06

those things, but overarching, do we understand what

1:32:08

it means to be American as opposed to

1:32:10

these regional enclaves? Or if you're

1:32:12

living within an immigrant community that's settled

1:32:15

in a specific area, would you be

1:32:17

able to both have your ethnic culture

1:32:19

as well as be able to say, but being American means

1:32:21

this. These are the values that we all agree we

1:32:24

want to preserve. Well, we did have

1:32:26

a system that allowed for individuality and

1:32:28

local culture and a

1:32:31

common sense of American identity.

1:32:33

I think going back to centralization,

1:32:35

intersectionality is a central plan, and

1:32:38

it ranks everybody based on somebody's

1:32:41

preferences. And it is

1:32:43

so fundamentally un-American that it pushes

1:32:45

us away from each other. It

1:32:48

creates all of these divisions and this

1:32:50

distrust amongst different types of Americans, and

1:32:52

I think that's what's tearing us apart.

1:32:54

Yeah, I think intersectionality, I mean, this was

1:32:56

a big buzzword, I remember, when I was

1:32:59

going through college, how great is intersectionality? And

1:33:01

as you're describing it, I'm like, this sounds

1:33:03

awful, this sounds terrible, but it

1:33:06

is, again, this idea that we

1:33:08

could have a moral and cultural understanding of what

1:33:10

order should look like, but there's the opposite side,

1:33:12

which says, no, we want to be able to

1:33:14

change, to continuously rotate the

1:33:16

deck as we see fit, and we don't want you

1:33:19

to be able to complain about it without being labeled

1:33:21

with an ism, so to speak. Yes.

1:33:25

Thank you so much for agreeing with me. For

1:33:27

confirmation, for Hannah Klare. Thank you, I need

1:33:29

that because I'm female and also I'm a middle

1:33:31

child, so it's really important to my ego. Middle

1:33:35

child will do that, Ian. Are you a middle child? No.

1:33:38

Do you think birth order does make a difference in

1:33:40

personality? I'm sorry, this is off topic, but. I

1:33:42

don't know about personality. With

1:33:56

no, nothing like that. It's just these cash prizes

1:34:16

in the way that you're raised, if I

no second child. Is there a Phil

1:34:23

LaBontie? No, I have a sister, Katherine,

1:34:25

and she's just about two years old than

1:34:27

me. It was a metaphor, her name was Jill. Yes,

1:34:30

maybe. You have weird parents. Yeah,

1:34:34

I mean, I have a story that will tell you off

1:34:36

the air about weird names. But

1:34:38

anyways. Yeah, I don't know. I

1:34:40

expect more of this to happen. Leftist

1:34:43

ideology and democratic policy is

1:34:45

destroying cities. Portland's an

1:34:47

example of it. I wouldn't be surprised if

1:34:50

a suburb of Portland or something, they

1:34:52

start passing laws because they're concerned about

1:34:54

what's going on. I think we're already

1:34:56

seeing people fleeing and it's

1:34:59

all racist. You know, leave its racist. If you make your

1:35:01

own city and your own laws, it's racist. It's just you're

1:35:03

a racist. You know, you're right. Like

1:35:05

it is like it's it is only going to

1:35:07

continue. And a big part of the reason is

1:35:09

because of the narrative that people are fed. And

1:35:12

I was harping on this the other day. But

1:35:14

the reason that we had all the mess of

1:35:16

of the Summer of Love

1:35:18

and the George Floyd rise was because of the

1:35:20

lie fed to the American people for the

1:35:23

better part of a decade that the

1:35:25

police were killing thousands of black men,

1:35:27

innocent black men, innocent unarmed black men.

1:35:29

The idea was that the police are

1:35:31

killing thousands of innocent unarmed black men

1:35:33

every year in America. And that's what

1:35:36

people bought. And because of that lie,

1:35:38

we had thousands

1:35:40

of lives destroyed, you know, tons of

1:35:42

like just tons of chaos for a

1:35:44

whole summer. And with this, like you

1:35:46

have this lie that rich

1:35:49

people don't pay their fair share and they don't pay

1:35:51

any taxes and they all get out of it and

1:35:53

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the reason your life

1:35:56

is bad is because the rich people and the reason

1:35:58

that you don't have this is because of. rich people

1:36:00

that don't pay their fair share. When the

1:36:02

truth is, rich people pay all the taxes,

1:36:04

the bottom half of the 50% of the

1:36:06

country don't pay any

1:36:09

taxes, and the people that are freaking

1:36:11

out about protesting

1:36:13

capitalism and stuff, they're

1:36:17

not paying any tax at all, and they never have. And

1:36:21

these kinds of narratives that are

1:36:23

not true, but permeate through society,

1:36:25

have real world effects on the

1:36:27

way that people behave. And when

1:36:29

you have, there's people that talk

1:36:32

about the inequality that

1:36:34

we have, and you don't have

1:36:36

a problem with absolute,

1:36:38

with poverty per se, but you

1:36:40

have a problem with perceived inequality.

1:36:42

Like if your whole society's poor,

1:36:44

like poor doesn't matter. But when

1:36:46

you've got really rich people and

1:36:48

then some poor people, it sucks,

1:36:51

but the whole society overall is

1:36:53

really, generally wealthy, and we

1:36:55

don't have people falling out of society.

1:36:57

And the narrative that we have, this

1:36:59

terrible society where people are constantly falling

1:37:01

through cracks and kills people and blah,

1:37:04

blah, blah, that is not true. And

1:37:06

it's a lie that's permeated a lot of

1:37:08

Gen Z and young people, and that's part of

1:37:10

the reason why you have these protests, is because

1:37:12

they generally believe the US and our society is

1:37:14

bad, and it's just not. We're gonna go to

1:37:16

Super Chats. So if you haven't already, would you
