Trump Just NUKED Woke Universities From Orbit With New Policies w/ Ed Martin

Donald Trump has just stripped title nine protections from LGBTQ students. This is through the education department. So theoretically, it should extend basically to all public schooling. This means that identity is no longer protected under the Civil Rights Act based on this new rule. And it's not the only one. A couple of months ago, a story broke and we were actually surprised to find we didn't see it until today. In fact, it seems the case seems to be the case. Many people didn't. But the Trump administration has effectively banned what they're describing as worthless student degrees. This is going to destroy the woke university system. So let me explain. They are saying if your degree doesn't make enough money, if the jobs you can get from it don't make enough money, you can't get a loan for it. This means every single woke, stupid, feminist, interpretive dance, politics, sociology nonsense is not going to be eligible for loans and the universities will not have any funding for them. The government subsidy of woke ended with this rule. Now we'll see exactly where it goes. Of course, with the midterms coming up, the latest polling is not very good for Republicans. And people are wondering if the Republicans are just resigned to defeat. That may be the case. But Trump is pulling out his secret weapon himself and culture war issues. Now, of course, liberal media is ragging on him saying it's a mistake. He shouldn't do it. He's not popular enough. Trump is putting this election on himself. And Republicans are shifting the conversation from economics into culture war issues where they know they can see benefits. Despite all that, however, polls are not particularly good. And then, my friends, a story that's going viral because it's fun. You know, seven years ago, NASA ran a simulation prediction that there was an asteroid that had a one percent chance of striking the Earth. In April of twenty twenty seven. Now the story is coming back up because, of course, we're only a few months away. And, you know, nothing's going to happen because nothing ever happens. Right. A meteor strike of all things. But people like to I don't know why, I guess. But you get it. People like to imagine these things are possible are likely going to happen and they're just not. And, you know, it is what it is. But we also got to talk about Trevor Lawrence. I don't know if you guys saw this. I'm not a football guy. And my entire Instagram feed is loaded with people. I'm seeing all these viral videos where they're claiming Trevor Lawrence took a knee. All right. In this football game at the one yard line with about nine minutes left in the game. It makes no sense. And then he made a comment about he was doing it for the Fantasy League fans and people are screaming. The idea now is that homeboy knew he was affecting the state of the game to benefit gamblers, potentially himself. And this is all rigged. Some people post he should be criminally charged or investigated for taking a knee at this point. His argument, of course, he came out and said, oh, he's trying to run the clock down, run the clock down at nine minutes. This seems very strange. And with all the sports gambling and weird poker gambling, you know, mafia stuff we've heard of the past year or so, there's a lot of people who are just like, look, it happens and we know they're doing it. That being said, you have to be pretty, pretty stupid to try and do that now. So we're going to talk about that and everything else. Joining us tonight to talk about that and so much more is Ed Martin. Good to be with you, Tim. Thank you. That's a lot to cover. That's a range. I don't know where to start. I'm worried about the asteroid right now. You know, I mean, that's the most fun story. It makes everything go away. Yeah, that's right. It's easier. But you actually have experience as it relates to some of the sports betting stuff, too. Yeah. You know, I was just telling the story. I met the guy, John T. Porter, who is from Mizzou, from Missouri, and he was jammed on this gambling. He came in. I met with him. We were talking about the issue and it is extraordinary. And here's the thing. His description to me was it's everywhere. In other words, in the NBA, these guys are all gambling in all kinds of ways. And then so then you just say to yourself, OK, are they just gambling on things that they care about or are they gambling on stuff that suddenly somebody can have an impact? Because some of those bets, as you know, are like how many minutes you'll play in a quarter of an NBA game. Yeah. So if you go in and this is what he admitted to, you go into a quarter, and you immediately say, oh, my back hurts and they take you out. You've now controlled what you did in that quarter, which somebody is betting on. And you've got some friend or third party who's like, don't play more than a minute. In the third quarter play, you know, your performance has to be below three points. So you get in my hamstring hurts and you're out. So I and look, you say that and you say, oh, well, the NBA, what are those guys like now realize that the budget for these football college football teams are 30 or 40 or million dollars. There's there's 18 year old kids with a million dollars in their pocket. And you don't think that they're gambling. So it's a it's a wild world. And yeah, I still don't understand. You played the clip. Trevor Lawrence, it's such a weird way to stop. Something is going on in his head that we don't know yet. It has to be. I saw one theory. They said that he was supposed to get tackled because that was the script. But because the guy missed, he took a knee instead. Like, what do I do? But we'll get into it. What are you currently working on? What were you doing before? Where are you at now? Well, so I was at in the Trump administration from the day one. In fact, it's a great story. I love to tell. I was supposed to be chief of staff at OMB and I got a phone call on Saturday night before Trump was sworn in on Monday. And I was told, can you come down to the old Trump hotel? So I've hired everybody for OMB. I worked with the Doge guys because they were sort of on the edges of OMB. And Russ Vogt is the OMB chair, the director. And I go down on Sunday morning, the day before Trump's sworn in. I go around the corner and I'm sitting at a table. And I'm sitting at the table with Charlie Gore and Charlie Kirk. And they say, hey, you once said you wanted to be the U.S. attorney in D.C. That guy that took that, supposed to take that job, didn't take it. And the president-elect wants someone to do that job. Would you switch over? And I said, well, I got to call Russ and make sure he's OK with it. Russ is going to say whatever the president wants. So I switched over that. And the next day, we didn't know this. The next day, the president pardoned all the January Sixers. Right. I had been hoping for that, but I didn't think actually it was going to happen. So anyway. Anyways, off to the races. So for four months, I was a U.S. attorney in D.C., which was an unbelievable job. Tons of power, tons of opportunity to do good. I was taking, and we were talking earlier, or I heard Crowder talking about DEI. I took on Georgetown Law when they were still doing DEI stuff publicly, Schumer, all kinds of things. And then for four months, I did that. Then I got blocked by Tom Tillis, which I could tell you the story of the last meeting with Tom Tillis. It haunts me to this day. Haunting, actually. Legit haunting. And then I was moved over because I wasn't confirmed the president was not going to tolerate that. So he made me pardon attorney and the associate deputy attorney general for the weaponization group. So all of a sudden, I got this huge docket, but not a lot of automatic power. Both of those jobs are kind of like dig into it and then make an argument to other people about prosecuting weaponization or pardoning. That's the president's prerogative. But very interesting. And I did a lot of work for the president and for what his priorities were. And it was great. But I left about a month ago. I'm out on my own. I'm working with Russ Vogt's old shop, the Center for Renewing America. I'm also practicing law, which I'm enjoying. I'm a lawyer. But I'm getting ready. We were talking offline. I was on a media blackout. The DOJ doesn't really value guys and gals out there ripping in the media. So I was really quiet. And it made me crazy after a while because this is too important to make clear what's at stake and what's going on. And look, we have a lot of people out there. We have a lot of people out there that have not done enough in DOJ. Fine. But we've done a hell of a lot. And I want to talk about that. And one big thing we can talk about, too, is Second Amendment stuff, which we made progress. We made progress like nobody's done it in history. And Trump did it. And Todd Blanch greenlighted everything I was trying to do. And we did it. So it's good to be out, to be in the fight a little differently. And we've got a lot to fight about. So it's important. We definitely got against all of it. So thanks for hanging out. It's going to be fun. We got the boys. Yeah. What's going on, Tate Brown? You're holding it down. We got the Eagle here. I'm sorry. Super excited. He's one of the best. One of the best. We got a good show, Phil. I'm excited. I'm excited. It's going to be good. Good to see you, Carter. Hey, you too, Phil.

The Education Department announced Monday it has formally rescinded the Biden era Title nine interpretation that gave sex based discrimination protections to students based on their orientation and gender identity. Schools must now go back to the code as it was held under the previous Trump administration in 2020, which they say will protect women's sports. Quote, thanks to today's action, the published Title nine regulation faithfully reflect court orders and congressional intent, reducing confusion for parents, students and educational institutions. We will continue to relentlessly champion equal opportunity for all Americans and hold accountable any school or college that violates the rights and privacy of or or athletic opportunities for our women and girls. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said. Now, we do have another story that actually broke in July and for some reason was just getting. Picked up today. In fact, I don't even think we noticed it. Actually, vaguely remember it. Trump is banning federal student loans for worthless college degrees. These two stories, my friends, this is Trump launching a nuclear bomb in the culture war against the hive of scum and villainy. That is woke universities. Let me explain how massive this story is. Both of these stories. You've got tons of worthless humanities degrees. Feminist interpretation. I'm kidding, but you get the point. They will not have funding for these anymore. Got a professor who wants to teach critical race theory. Unfortunately, you can't get a job in critical race theory, so you can't get a loan for it. So the universities won't have any funding for it. Thus, these classes will start to disappear. People will stop attending them and the universities will start to revert back from whence they came. Now, this is exactly what we've been asking for for a long time. This is the kind of culture war victory that I've demanded, may expect it, and I'm glad to see it. Now, the economy is not doing too great. Gas is really expensive. A war is on. I don't know how much this moves the needle, but I'm going to give praise where praise is due because this is what I voted for. Right now, you get a lot of prominent conservative personalities saying, yes, things aren't going great. Yes, the Republicans haven't utilized the power they could, but the culture war victories we've gotten have been fantastic. And Democrats, when they get in, are going to win. And are going to go nuclear in the opposite direction. So I'm super excited for this. This is tremendous news. I'm curious what the panel thinks. Well, I mean, to your point about should the Democrats, you know, get power, whether they get the office of the president in 28 or not, they're going to do everything they can to stymie the administration. Now, obviously, this is executive order stuff. That's this is stuff that Trump's going to has been, you know, the largest portion of his successes. Have been through executive order. And he's actually done a lot of stuff. I know there's a lot of people that are unhappy with him, unhappy with some of the policies that he's he's he's actually gone through with. But the majority of things that people were looking for that actually have been achieved, it's all executive order and all in the bureaucracy. So, I mean, I would love to see more. Obviously, this is a good thing. Like Tim said, the humanities departments are doomed now. But, yeah, just more of this. You know, like, again, I hate to be back to Crowder. We were watching Crowder a while ago and he's talking and the Harvard Law School dean was a professor was complaining that the government was cutting off without due process the money that they were getting from the government was giving to Harvard. And my thing is, like, why do we have a system where we've created this massive payment scam? It's just like the welfare programs. It's just like other things where these student loans are just propping up schools that make up degrees. And as you said, these two. Stories come together, Tim, because Title IX was created in 1972 and it was in the era where they were trying to say gives women some protection in higher ed, in sports, in other opportunities. And it became the vehicle. And I know this intimately because I worked with Phyllis Schlafly, the late Phyllis Schlafly, who fought against the ERA. Title IX became the way that the camel under the camel's nose under the tent because they went in and they used it every time they wanted to the left to do all this kinds of crazy stuff. And it culminated with this trend that the gender surgery and gender affirming and all this politically woke stuff. But it's been going on for a very long time. And and the point here is the pendulum needs to not just stop some of this stuff. It needs to swing back, in my opinion, and back harder than we've ever seen. I think this is progress. And as you put them together, Tim, they work as a way to say, hey, we've got to stop these universities. But, man, there's a lot of other aspects of these laws. That are dragging down our entire culture, not only higher ed. Well, yeah, I mean, Title IX needs to go because I went to a Big East school and I was the reason we couldn't have a football team. Exactly. What, really? Yeah, we had like women's field hockey. It was like those random sports for me because they couldn't have football. No, no. Here's what you had to do. Every male scholarship has to be paired with a female. So you have 100 male scholarships for football. Then you've got to have a swim team, a lacrosse team, girls team, girls, girls, girls. That's why across the country they've shut down wrestling programs. Remember this? They shut down wrestling programs. Because they couldn't afford 25 more guys because they had to do girls' scholarships. And you're looking around going, how many women's scholarships? Because, remember, you can have a soccer team. Men's and women's are the same size. But nothing's like a football team in terms of scholarships. And then they went crazy with the law and said every dollar has to match, not just scholarships. So if you have a weight room for the men, it has to be matched by the size of the weight room for the women. This is fascinating because Charlie Kirk had spoken out against the Civil Rights Act, highlighting specifically these things. That the intention is good, but the output was bad. And then, of course, the left manipulates the – they lie about the context as to what he was saying and say he wanted to get rid of civil rights. What he was saying was we all agree it was bad that people were being discriminated against, like they wanted to go to a grocery store, they wanted to go to the movies. But the idea now, as you guys are pointing out, that you can't have a men's football team because women don't want to play football. Now, this makes no sense. They – so I remember there was a lawsuit in the UCC. There was a – there was like a women's only computer club. Someone filed a lawsuit saying that violates Title IX. That would be Title IX, I believe. Title IX, yeah, yeah. And they lost the suit. Yep. The courts ruled that because there was a computer program available to men, they could do a women's only. Right. So you simultaneously say we can't do regular football because there's no women on it. Even if it's open to women, there's got to be a women's team on the other side. But then women can have – a woman only. A woman only computer club as long as there's a general computer club for men. They're playing it both ways in the courts. Right. We can't function. Exactly. But look, this is the old – I don't know if you guys are a fan of Eric Hoffer, Hoffer's line that every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and degenerates into a racket. We're in the racket stage. The racket stage is you take Title IX, 1972, and you say, hey, we've got to do better at protecting women. Okay. I don't know. Maybe not a bad idea. Then it became a business. Then it became a business where people made money off of that. And now it's a racket where they just come up with a pretext and they do things like gender affirmation and all these other things. And by the way, I thought you were going to say something else. I thought nobody was supposed to have a gender. You were supposed to just say what you want. So what does it matter? Just go fluid and it shouldn't be a problem. But these kinds of changes, to your point about Trump, Trump does these things consistently across his – it's a kind of worldview thing that is very – most Republicans don't do this. Because Laura Bush was not going to let George W. Bush do that because she played softball growing up. I don't know. I'm just making it up. But that's the way – John McCain was not going to do it because his wife was really good at basketball when she was a kid and we don't want to change the rules. That's the problem with these – with the Republicans in power. And Trump keeps doing this stuff. Yeah, well, and the – people – it's what the Breitbart quote, politics is downstream from culture. But there's some instances where culture is downstream from politics. And this is one of them. We're Title IX. And it kind of culturally institutionalized this idea of gender parity. Like, OK, women should be able to do exactly what a man can do. Like, evidence for this in sports would be U.S. soccer, right? The U.S. Soccer Federation that is in charge of the men's team and the women's team. And the women's team said everything has to be equal, the paychecks, et cetera. This applied to the coach. So the men's team now has an opening for their coaching slot. And there's a really world-class coach, Mauricio Pochettino. And he's like, I want to coach your team. Problem, the max salary they could offer was like a drop in the bucket compared to what he – compared to what he wanted because they had to match what the women's coach was being paid, which is just never going to happen. The men's World Cup generates, you know, it's probably to the, you know, to the pie or something. Like, the order of money the men's World Cup makes is, you know, it completely dwarfs the women's World Cup. So instead, like, the U.S. soccer had to go and knock on a bunch of billionaires' doors and say, just write this off, donate to our program, we'll get a good men's coach. It's like institutionalized. Even in an organization like U.S. soccer, which has no obligations under Title IX to do so, they are now basically forced to do so. Because of this cultural mindset that is because of Title IX. Did you guys see, we talked about it last week, Dressmaker, the video game? Yeah. So they spend all this money. These feminists get in these game studios and they're like, okay, so we're making a World War I battlefield game. We want women to play video games, so we're going to make the main character a purple-haired female amputee. And everyone hated it. Because women don't want to go to World War I. And somebody made a dressmaker. A dressmaker simulator where all you do is make dresses. And then your customers give you one to five stars. And women are drooling over it. They love it. Men and women are completely different. And now we've built this system where we are trying to get women to do things they don't want to do and people don't want to watch. I bring this up because there are things that people, generally men and women, like about men. They want to see the most brutish of dudes do the most brutish of physical feats. That's what they want to see. Maybe it's boxing. They want to see a dude bust another dude up, leave him bloody, and then they're both standing there covered in blood and sweat. Everyone loves UFC. And you know what? Women's fighting, not so bad. People like that too. But, you know, eh. Let me tell you about UFC. The guys that you see. Do you ever see, like, a regular guy walking around holding up round sign? What about a big-tittied, beautiful woman? The reason why is men and women like these things. Women do. They make these movies. Women don't want to see a movie where a woman is a superhero. They want to see a movie where a woman is the subject of desire from the greatest man. So we had things that women could do that people really enjoyed watching and men could do, and they're trying to invert it, for some reason, in some weird experiment that doesn't work. It just doesn't work. Okay. Women. James Bond. Why did men and women love to go see it? Because men want to do it. They want to be him, and women want to do it with him. The male fantasy is that you're the guy smoking the cigar, and you flick it into the, you know, the gasoline vapors or whatever, and the bad guy goes, "I'll get you!" And you stop the villain from destroying the world. And the female power fantasy was that the guy that everybody loved said, "You're my choice." And she loved that. And now they're doing whatever all this nonsense is. But you know what? Stop. Stop blathering on about it. Trump. The administration. They nuked the hive. The root system. If this sticks, and we win, if we hold for a few years, we can cleanse our universities of this social contagion. Yeah. I don't have a lot of faith that it's going to hold for a few years, because again, I think that anything that Donald Trump does through executive action, the next president could undo if they were a Democrat. I mean, I would love to see, you know, a J.D. Vance or a Marco Rubio. Yeah. Or some other unnamed person that's a Republican, conservative, whatever you want to call them, sit in the Oval Office again. Whether that happens or not is going to have a, you know, is going to really be the key as to whether or not these policies can stick around long enough to have serious impact. Right? Because that's really what we're trying to do, or what he's trying to do here. He's trying to roll back not just an administration or two. He's trying to roll back. You know, 60 years of progressive policy. Because whether or not people want to admit it, George Bush had a lot of progressive policies. Even Ronald Reagan had some policies that were, you know, considered, I mean, he gave amnesty. Nixon too. Yeah. Nixon as well. So, I mean, you're talking about decades and decades and decades of policies that were moving the country to the left. And Donald Trump is the first president that, you know, in the past 70 years or 80 years, that is actually trying to move the needle back. Not just trying to say, hold up there, Democrats, or stop and do and do what the Democrats would do but slower. He's actually trying to move it back. And there's a lot of people that are going to be giving me crap about saying this. But it's true. He's the only president that's ever significantly decreased the number of bureaucrats in DC. And that actually did happen as much as people don't want to admit it or don't want to say that he did. They don't want to give him credit because they're mad about this issue or that. They're that issue. Most of the time they tend to be mad about the the Iran war, but he's the only president that's actually started to move the needle back to the right. And if he had, you know, another if he had a Congress that worked with him, he'd be even more successful because this stuff could be codified into law as opposed to just executive action. But, you know, one thing about what you said is so important is that Trump does these things that affect money, especially like USAID, the attack on USAID took the money off the president. But it didn't take more than a month or two for people to have to adjust their life. People getting six figure salaries in the suburbs of D.C. complaining about it. Here's the thing about this. If you pull back on these degrees and the loans for these silly degrees, it'll only take six months for these schools to go belly up. To your point, you know, some of these small schools that are running through mills of this, these really stupid coursework, the courses, as Tim said earlier, that people are going to take those courses because they can see what's coming. That's going to have a huge effect. They don't have the money for it. Right. They don't have the money. But that's one of the reasons why I remember. Why did we give the Chinese communists all those visas for the students, 300,000 students? And the answer is because Harvard wanted the money and USC wanted the money and they wanted cash payments from the Chinese communist parents sending their kids to the schools. You take that money away and those schools look in every city now, you have schools going under going under. St. Louis is where I'm from. Fontbonne University has been around for 80 years. Hundred years. Totally out of business now. Because why? Because they had like a hundred of their cash paying students were from Qatar or somewhere in the Middle East and they stopped coming and the school had a hole in their budget they couldn't fill. And my point is good. The business model can't sustain this stuff if you're not teaching something that's valuable for the kids. There's one more point that I want to make. This is something that I've been harping on for a long time is all of the all of the woke stuff that people complain about for the past 15 years. It's all. It has it all has its genesis in college. Yes. Right. There was a time where people were saying, look, these kids with their silly ideas, they're going to get out into the real world and they're going to get smacked with reality. And then, you know, we don't have to worry about it. But the fact of the matter is they got out into the real world and they change the culture at so many different, you know, companies, so many different big Fortune 500 companies that got into the H.R. departments and they started firing people for the smallest missteps and hiring people. That shared their worldview and they managed to seriously mess with the culture of the United States and getting this kind of stuff out of schools actually can have really significant and dramatic downstream effects. You get, you know, I don't know, five, six, seven years of graduating classes that are not indoctrinated with this kind of stuff because the humanities departments, the stuff that they learn, it doesn't stay in the humanities departments. It starts infecting the rest of the college. You know, it starts getting into even the hard sciences. And that's where you hear people, you know, trying to say things like two plus two equals five and all kinds of crazy nonsense that everyone knows is not true. But they have to say this kind of stuff because the entire culture at the school is making a demand of it. We need to. I always I always like to pull this stuff up because there's a lot of people that just literally do not believe they don't pay attention. Popular Mechanics literally wrote this not even one year ago, why some people think two plus two equals five. And why they're right. No, they're not. They're not right. This is a lie. This is a cult. If you think two plus two equals five, you're in a cult. You are with dangerous, stupid people. They are lying to you, OK, using an argument like they say, well, what if it's 2.3 plus 2.3? Well, those both round down to two. But when you add them together, you get four point six, which rounds up to five. Therefore, no. We're arguing 2.3 plus 2.3. We define those in absolute terms. This is the insanity you get that they are teaching your kids when they go to these schools. So good on the Trump admin for saying enough. This I got to tell you, they're not teaching in China. No, a communist country is not telling their kids two plus equals five. That's because this is a demoralization effort. And China already did that in the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution back in the 60s. Well, the machine is trying to demoralize all of us because they it's it's you know, it's not just China, but it's largely China. The easiest way to explain what's going on. China is an adversary. They've already publicly stated the U.S. is in decline and not to resist that decline. They are actively funding these things, pushing our politicians towards it. They're manipulating our system. Trump is resisting back as it means perfect. We'll see where things go moving forward. That being said, let's jump to the important story in that case from Mediaite. The levy has been breached. CNN Data Guru declares blue wave is coming over the wall. The data we've got so far shows Democrats are expected to sweep. It's not so good for Trump and the GOP. The polls are all showing it. Trump's economic approval rating in twenty twenty six at thirty seven percent in twenty eighteen when Republicans lost the midterms, it was at seventy seven percent. I think it's fair to say most people don't care. I don't care about foreign policy and don't know much about the war with Iran, but it's after effects are hitting people because gas is over four bucks and we're out in West Virginia and diesel is 650. People can feel the heat. The question is, what are the Republicans even doing about it or have they resigned to defeat? I don't know what they're doing about it. I do know that there was a saw someone had tweeted. I retweeted it about messaging. And not that messaging is gonna fix anything, But the places that are borderline, the Congress people that are borderline that could possibly win, they really do need to make sure that they have the messaging right. But there's a lot of places where I don't know that there's anything that's going to happen that's going to fix anything unless gas prices drop by like— I'll rise in defense of the grand old party. I mean, look, in election cycles, gravity means that the apple falls from the tree down to the ground. That's what happens. It also means generally that the presidential—the party in the White House loses in the midterm. So gravity is gravity, and it usually happens. The problem with that right now—first of all, whenever CNN is pushing something—and I admit in this one, it's economic numbers. It's not quite the same as some of the push polls they push. But it really is going to come down to about 26 seats, House seats, and three or four Senate seats. And there are fundamentals to those things that you have to figure out. And one of them is who's got money. And the other one is who the candidates are. So if you look at these races one by one across places like down in Virginia, down in Norfolk, that I think it's Virginia 2, they started to do early voting. And the report—I don't have this confirmed. I'm just going to tell you how you look at these things—is that the city, the urban votes, vote totals, are lower than they expected. In other words, there's not enthusiasm in that district for the Democrat, which is what they need to overcome the— So Republicans— Republicans have the headwinds, and the Democrats seem to have something at their back. But the problem is it's only in 26 races, and the Republicans definitely have a lot more money. And money can't buy you races, but it can get close in a lot of them, and it can change the dynamic. Now, it's starting to feel late. Things are starting to break. But again, it's head-to-head. And I think right now, even the Democrats that say it's going to be a wave are saying they end up 3, 4, 5 up in the House. No one thinks they can get to 20. And by the way, when— And Tallarico in Texas is on TV all weekend long begging for debates. If you've ever run a race or been a candidate, you know that you ask for debates when you're losing. You desperately want any attention you can get. You want to get out on the TVs. And Tallarico is not winning. If he was winning, he would not want to do a debate where Ken Paxton would say, Do you really believe X or Y, these crazy quotes that Tallarico's pastor said? So, you know, the doom and gloom. In places like Texas, mostly I believe it's because the Republicans that didn't want Paxton to win are weighing in. So I think it's not great. Gravity is gravity. But I think it's better than people realize. And I just don't believe any of this doom and gloom. You know, Tim, we're going to get around to it. The Second Amendment, the voters that are energized, they call them low-propensity voters for the Republicans, conservatives. There's a bunch of them in categories that are fired up. Now, will they get out to vote? That's the hard part. But I think it's going to be done— 2A voters are definitely very happy with what has been going on. I'll say that. I actually, I guess for us out here in West Virginia, particularly in our district, we don't really need to. We're definitely going to. But Riley Moore is our guy. He's going to win. He's the best. One of the best. You know, I've got to give a shout-out to Riley. He does not waste his time on social media nonsense. He's not doing the AOC-style media nonsense. He's actually fairly aggressive on a lot of the issues that we all care about here in West Virginia. And so we're incredibly lucky because not everybody can say that. I'm just saying that because it's like, we're good here. You know, this is West Virginia. But there's places in Texas, there's places in Florida where we're seeing Democrats get an edge. I'm going to go and say this. I largely agree with you. I think when it comes to the doom and gloom about whether or not Democrats are going to win and beat the Republicans, I think it would be silly not to point out that— Trump's lost a lot of people. Libertarians, that's a couple percentage points. There's a lot of moderates. They do not like the war stuff. And a lot of people have shifted heavily because of Israel's involvement, because of the start of the war, or I should say last year as well. And I think these are all negative impacts. The economy is typically the principal issue. But that being said, we are in a new world. And I think it's fair to say it's the economy, stupid. We've got to give a shout-out to that old man, that crotchety old Democrat. But it's fine. It's fine. It's a good quote. However, right now, everybody lives in a niche political sphere. So there are people who don't even know gas is $4 because the only thing they see when they go online is Israel. There are people that go online and see nothing but unarmed black men being shot. These people, the way they're voting is changing from the way it used to be. It used to be primarily that people went to the gas station and said, OK, this is nuts. But now that young people don't own cars— They're all voting anyway. But for young people, they're largely persuaded by their social media algorithm. So Trump's strategy has been, and not just Trump but the Republicans, shift to culture war issues we can win on. Like the trans debate, for instance. Title IX stuff. This is why they're making these moves. They want James Tellerico to have to answer for all the weird, insane things he's said in the past several years. And they want to shift away from economics. I'll give you guys the big secret. If I make a video on YouTube— Talking economics, nobody wants to watch it. That says something moving into November. Again, we actually—we've had stories pulled up, we've got some stories pulled up talking about housing. And I talked earlier today, boomers, on average, have a net worth of $1.6 million. It doesn't move the needle for the average person to talk about money this way. People care about niche projects, interests, etc. The Republicans are trying to reach out. They're trying to re-center around that. So, I'm just saying this: I do think Republicans are in a tight spot. Historically, it makes a lot of sense. But I also want to stress, I'm not going to sit here and just trust CNN when they come out every single day saying, "You can't lose. Give up. You can't lose. I mean, I'm sorry. You can't win. Give up. You can't win." Right. Right. Yeah. I mean, because there's been some interesting things, like the Tellerico race. I think a lot of that can be attributed to Paxson—you know, no offense to Paxson—but kind of coming out the game. I think it's a little slow, right? Like, he hasn't fully kicked off, like, you know, a full-blown campaign. There's been some reporting on this. And I think a lot of this isn't so much to do with him as more, as you pointed out, kind of the Senate Republicans weren't too happy about how that all went down. Because there was some reporting that there's kind of this, like, Mexican standoff between the Trump admin and the Senate Republicans, like, "Okay, whose responsibility is it to fund the Paxson race?" So I think Texas probably comes back to the Republicans as the camp—I mean, again, the hour's a little, you know, getting a little late here—but as that kind of kicks into a full swing. Because I'm getting Tallarico ads out here in Virginia, and, you know, I haven't been a registered voter in Texas in five years, and I'm still getting hit for ads for Tallarico here. There's, like, a profile on you at these companies or something. Yeah. So the fact that, you know, he's dumping enough money to say anyone that has any vague link to Texas, push some ads his way, I think, to your point, does kind of illustrate the situation he's in. I think the interesting race is Michigan, especially, because Michigan is in this weird situation where they have uniquely high gas prices for the region. It's pretty expensive fuel right now. And then, additionally, they're having these trade issues. A lot of these voters in the Detroit area are having these trade issues with Canada. This is what I've—again, I've seen some people that are, you know, reporting from how voters are feeling on the ground. And a lot of them are like, "I don't know. We're, like, we're kind of in the transit industry. All this traffic coming in through Canada." They're not too happy about that. So it's kind of funny how Mike Rogers is in this position where some of the things that Republicans aren't even necessarily responsible for, he's—it's a referendum on his party, even though, once again, like, you know, the—. Yeah. Yeah. Even the gas. The gas is uniquely high in Michigan due to some Whitmer policies. But he's having to answer for it because his party's holding the executive. I want to grab this super chat from S. Budbutta, one of our members. He says, "Halt diesel exports. Make diesel basically free till the midterms and ride the wave." He's not wrong. I mean, if Trump came out and said, "We're halting the exports, dropping the price significantly," if Trump did any kind of tax release or rebate. In the short term, with a promise of more after the fact, you can win the election just like that. And Democrats, when Trump offered that dividend, they're like he's trying to buy the vote. What do you think it is when Democrats offer free healthcare? Yeah, exactly. They're trying to buy the vote. So if Trump's doing that, I'm like, "Sure, I'm not a fan of any of it, but don't act like y'all are innocent." Well, you got to drop the diesel export ban in, like, October because it'll keep prices down for, like, a month, but then once all the diesel producers realize they've lost a quarter of their market, they're going to slow down production. So everyone's talking about if it's going to happen, it's going to happen in October. But CNN's showing you the economic numbers and how bad it is. What they're not showing you is New Hampshire's competitive, and it shouldn't be. The Republicans should not be competitive. Michigan is competitive because why? Because it shouldn't be. It's a blue state now. It's competitive because that guy's a lunatic, the Muslim guy's a lunatic. Susan Collins is winning up in Maine. I don't really like her. She's not conservative, whatever, but she's winning. So you look around and you say, "Hold on a second," as the one place where it's tough is where they pulled a Biden. In North Carolina, they ran a white guy and pretended that Cooper, who was a former governor, is a good old guy. You know, he's like, "Oh, you know, Scranton Joe, what a good guy," when he's going to vote for these lunatic leftists. And the Republicans had a hard time getting his name ID up to compete. And it's still close. So the point is, the idea that, especially at the Senate, that this is related to that, what CNN's pushing, is nonsense. Now you go down to the House and it's hand-to-hand combat. But you made the great point. Riley Moore is safe and so are 406 seats totally safe you're never going to lose these seats you can pretend you're gonna it's 25 or so and now it's who can go hand to hand and here's what i'd say you know tim you brought this up the social issues second amendment voters pro-life voters religious people that go to church every sunday people that are that believe that what look people that watch fox news you can say what you want and i have i'm not a fan in lots of ways but they are conditioning old people that are watching all the time that this is you know that the the war is good and that you know health care is protected and you're going to be okay that's what they're telling them whether it's true or not and that means that they're protecting that flank of the republican coalition for voting well i think this is what a lot of people miss too is you know and this is coming from a zoomer you know a right winger who has a lot of you know criticisms of the republican party uh boomers that's the bread and butter you know like we can sit on twitter and antagonize boomers all day long and even if you know every single accusation is true or whatever that's besides the point that is the secret sauce for not just the republican party too like boomers largest generation vote at exceptionally high rates especially because now they're elderly so the republicans as long as they nail the messaging on fox news they're in the race a lot of people don't want to hear that a lot of people are like well you know we should go punish the republicans at the at the ballot box twitter is like kind of a ghetto in many ways like there's like 30 000 people that are using it on a daily basis um you know the boomers are ultimately gonna be the one that decide the election and yeah fox news you go on fox news you know the iran wars you know this had to happen it's the greatest thing since sliced bread um that's gonna resonate with a lot of the base so just from purely like a political exercise um while it is certainly doom and gloom for for younger people certainly doom and gloom online um the republicans they can still kind of go to their fastball on this kind of thing and they're gonna have they're gonna have probably better chance than we would expect you know if you're purely consuming online political content we uh we have another uh a rumble rant from s bud but he says trump issues national emergency on behalf of the american people and halts diesel exports by a high percentage to supplement us with subsidized fuel uh yeah winning strategy uh absolutely i think that's a uh winning strategy the question is would he actually do it they've talked about it but before we get into the next time you know i'm gonna i'm gonna say a couple things i i you know i think uh periodically we've had super chats and rumble rants come in that were relevant to the conversation we've always held them off for anything to show i'm gonna try and grab some of those for the real conversation that seems to be the obvious thing we've never done in six years of doing this show so if you guys are because we'll we'll go to the super chat portion i'll be like i can't remember what this is a reference to it's like why are we going back so i'll try and grab your chats and rants towards the end of each segment so that you guys can add to that conversation we'll carry on and then we'll move on and that makes a lot more sense and the other thing i just want to say real quick is uh very excited uh you know timcast irl being featured on the front page of youtube right now in the in the in the live marquee add your your big old face is just right there but we're we're we're uh we're out watched by a cartoon peanut opening gun packs in cs2 all right well but you know hey defensible i mean you know i like we do that too maybe we could start doing show business that's right can we add an and and how do you do that we'll add an animated peanut to the show and utilize it and and no i think it's more so the gambling we need a cashew maybe we can't be too on the nose you know you know what i figured it out what we got to do is we got to have keynote numbers going on behind all of us as we're talking like a wheel pull the numbers out it's not a bad idea and then people are like i picked my numbers and then you see if you win because everything's becoming sports gambling which brings us to our next story we got this from fox news trevor lawrence fantasy owners are beside themselves after inexplicable decision in fourth quarter blowout my instagram was blowing up over trevor lawrence taking a knee with at one yard with nine minutes left in the game i'm not a football guy and i've got people being like did you see this they're freaking out i'm like i've got friends who don't know news at all asking me if i saw this story we're going to talk about it because what they're saying is this dude took the knee intentionally so that he could control the outcome for the purpose of sports betting because it's all rigged i've seen videos on instagram where they're like this guy should be criminally investigated and prosecuted and they're not executed there's rumors that fanatics is issuing refunds over certain wagers let me show you this video this is brick center what is trevor lawrence doing this has to be gambling watch this clip run pass protection all of it has been able to play a pretty dominant game against this group designed run for lawrence lawrence breaking tackles eight minutes and 48 seconds let's hear the commentators eight minutes just get yourself a touchdown spiro it's not we're not inside come on what are you doing maybe a little too much maybe a little too much out of this again they i mean this is he wasn't supposed to that's what people are saying i think that's milton williams had a chance at him so look at this this is nuts okay they even say how did he get out of this he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through he breaks through is able to run forward and then takes a knee so of course his response was i was trying to run out the clock tons of people were like with nine minutes left what clock are you running out i've seen a bunch of wild theories one i've seen a lot of people saying that he's got a direct stake in the game and taking this because if he bet himself he bet against himself scoring a touchdown presuming he wouldn't score one getting the opportunity to get one he's like uh-oh other conspiracy theories are that they're all in on it and the big wigs of the game said you're not gonna score don't score and when he made it when he managed to break through which he wasn't supposed to do he's like uh-oh i'm gonna get in trouble but here's where it gets crazy this article trevor lawrence jokes about fantasy football is the reason for ignoring touchdown at the one yard line jokes about it he literally said i'm looking out for the fantasy fans and then they're like ah he's joking or was he serious and just oblivious like i didn't know that was a crime it's really annoying because we're going to get the truth on this in 20 years on a podcast whatever lawrence does the rounds and i'll be like oh that's so funny i remember that vaguely yeah i think there's like three like possibilities of what happened here the first is he's being honest he was just trying to chew the clock up i mean you could take another two minutes off maybe with three extra downs um second possibility is yeah he's you know in on it like if he had a rushing touchdown it would have cost a bunch of money or something like that the third which i find that to be actually the most compelling explanation i saw a few people propose this is that the halfback has some sort of clause in his contract where he gets extra money based off of how many rushing touchdowns he gets that year and so he must be buddies with the halfback and they're trying to get him this has happened before some people pointed out a few examples of i think like i think on the jaguar i think as maurice jones drew had a similar clause or if he got you know so many rushing touchdowns by certain week in the year he would get like a huge paycheck and so some people speculate hey this gives us it's kind of a combination it gives us an opportunity to burn more time off for dominating this game um and then additionally you can give our halfback an extra rushing touchdown because it's on the one yard line um that to me kind of seems like the most compelling explanation uh because if it's this i mean surely he's not stupid enough to like if they're they'll figure out if there's you know somebody cashing out they have a connection to him they'll sniff that out right away but maybe he is maybe it's the cte i don't know yeah i mean look they're definitely would have run the ball you know run the score up as much as they could i don't have uh particularly strong feelings as about why he would do this i mean gambling well yeah i mean possibly um but you i mean you do see weird things happen like that in football games but i mean i don't you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna live stream myself walking to the white house press briefing and i'm gonna be like i'm going i'm going there and then because there's a there's a wager for there's a contract bet for me a contract whatever on calci tim pool will go to a white house press briefing and we're actively trying to go they did invite us again so we'll see but what i should what i should do i'll live stream myself walk out be like all right everybody i am walking there and then right when i get the door i'm taking me yeah yeah bad idea no cross the line tim and then i think your third one is the most plausible i think it's something like that but it still brings us to the same spot which is there's so much money in these games now in sports and sports gambling and in the conduct as you say if it was i think the contract it sounds right you know that you you've got all these it's just changing the way things are operating and to think that these guys are gonna stay sort of pure of heart is insane and i mentioned off air that i i met i met in my time in doj with this guy jonte porter who has admitted that he had a gambling problem in the nba he talked about it publicly it's very compelling an addict he's gone goes to uh uh gambling anonymous and all and has stopped and all this kind of stuff but when you hear him talk about the fact that every aspect of the nba is being gambled on yeah you know how much how many points you get in a quarter how many rebounds how many minutes you play all these things to think that it's not going to be manipulated by people who want to make money it's just it's naive i mean it's not just the nba though right right that's right the nba is just where it's most egregious because if you ever look up the malik beasley throwing games tape i mean it's the most unbelievable he doesn't even try to like disguise it or hide it and he got indicted or i don't think i'm indicted i don't think i'm indicted but he got investigated i think it might be pending but there's like a there's like a sizzle reel of like 10 minutes of malik beasley just like throwing the ball out of bounds Allen's like slipping and you know like throws it behind him it goes in the goal like it's absolutely insane but you know additionally even if it's not gambling related there's still with the contract stuff that just completely erodes the integrity of the game because I don't know if you remember there was this spree where Russell Westbrook I think he averaged a triple double over the season for non-basketball viewers that you get over 10 points over 10 rebounds over 10 assists you know you could do steal or something that's unlikely and like he's a point guard so they don't get rebounds right he's supposed to be taking the ball before he's usually the shortest player on the on the floor but if the other team shot a three-pointer the big men would run down the court so then they'd be clear wide open for Russell Westbrook to go grab a rebound and people were like does he really just care about his stats that much where he like needs to get a triple double every game potentially it could be a pride thing but was more likely was that again if he got in a certain for every triple double he got he probably got some sort of kickback from the Oklahoma City Thunder and therefore he was directly incentivized and his teammates were directly directly incentivized to allow him to collect rebounds then all of a sudden it like starts tampering with statistics records etc it just erodes the integrity of the game so it's like even if it's not something as illegal as sports gambling these convoluted contracts amount of money in the game it still tampers the integrity here's what I never got you can bet on the color of the Gatorade but there are probably hundreds of people who know what the color of the Gatorade is so how is that how are people betting on that usually it's a sucker's bet right well it's like I guess as soon as you know if you go if you're like watching the game like three or four hours before if you see a spike you go and bet on that that's probably your best option there's some lady who works in an accounting department or a delivery company who's like they just ordered like 500 gallons of you know like arctic frost or whatever and she's like well I know the color of the Gatorade is going to be well that's why a lot of the college team started like throwing people off and they would mix two flavors together I don't know really green or brown or but but but if I can say I guys I move it a little bit and I'll sound like a scourge I guess but the gambling's out of control oh and it's targeted at the kids and it's targeted and kids are in the NBA or and now on the in the NCAA football you know the the the top programs the kids are making a million dollars and they're not even the stars and so they're gambling all the time and what I hate about it the most is they're using the technology the neuroscience to change your brain to make these kids do it and and you know the idea of this not being uh something that we're all screaming about is crazy to me we're we're we're destroying generations of kids with with this allowing this stuff to go on I know it's a genie back in the bottle uh but it it's really really bad and this is the future I have a I have a like this is what's being annoying it's like being a you know proper you know conservative etc is I'm still holding the line on all these issues that the cat's kind of out of the back like I'm still against gay marriage not like that train left the station 10 years ago like you got you know you got to be to be a republican nominee of the pro game but I'm like I'm still holding on lines because I'm like dude once you like start giving an inch here they'll take a mile this has certainly been the case with gambling they're saying oh what it's just putting a bet on your phone what's the big deal next thing you know you're watching little league and there's betting market this is insane it's it's it's over the future of the economy is we're moving it so this is my prediction we had a labor economy then uh it it the labor economy evolved in a variety of ways we we brought in beasts of burden and now you had an animal husbandry economy could you bring the mules or the horses could you buy them but it's just like but it was still a labor economy still the work you were doing but it was aided industry came about and we still had a labor economy then we start offshoring a lot of this labor we get a service sector economy now it's can I provide a service to you not even a thing things started to change dramatically with the internet when we got the information economy this is once the internet became ubiquitous now there was tons of money to be made in delivering news and information through websites people wanted this advertised we're selling through it information was access to product knowledge and uh the same goes for sales a million years right you can have the best product in the world and if no one knows about it you don't got a product at all now we are in the attention economy information is ubiquitous no one needs you to tell them the news okay you like the moment Donald Trump does a backflip everyone's already found out about it so the question is how long can I keep your attention this is resulting in videos where people are screaming at the top of their lungs at each other but but what happens after an attention economy the prediction economy economics based on being able to foretell events because you're smart smarter or more insightful so we get the I can provide you with information economy please just look at me I've got nothing left and then I can see things before you do now for a lot of that's always existed to a small degree but stock trading was not for the retail investor it didn't exist until I think it was like the jobs act or something with Obama Obama only in the past like 15 or so years. You had to be rich or an institution to invest. I think where we're going now and the reason why calci, polymarket, sports betting, fantasy, the reason why all that's blowing up, our economy is going in a direction based, this is the future, okay, with AI, with everything. You don't need jobs. UBI won't work. The economy is going to be based on if you are better at predicting outcomes than other people. So what do we get? Gambling is stupid. Gambling is like the stupidest, lowest tier of this because playing blackjack, you can count cards if you're looking at an actual shoe and improve your odds to 50.5%, but they'll kick you out for that. But if you're doing sports betting, there are people that I know who are doing million bucks a month sports betting, insane numbers. And I'm going to tell you right now, I've already brought this up. The average salary of a millionaire is 165K per year. People that have, maybe they're not doing like a million every single month because it depends on when sporting are in. But there are people that are printing money with sports betting. You guys ever see the movie Casino? One of the best movies ever made, you gotta watch it. Robert De Niro, back before he went nuts. And his character is based on a true story. He's like, he used to make tons of money for the mafia, for the mob by sports betting. It'd be really simple. He'd go and tell his friends and family and say, tell me about the players. Tell me about the jockeys. What's going on? And they'd be like, ah, yeah, he's been feeling sick this morning. He'll go, okay. You go bet against them and he'd print money. This is what we're starting to see now. Do you have access to information and can you predict more? So it's one thing to say gambling is the general, yeah, I get it, but you're not stopping it because the genie's out of the bottle, the cat's out of the bag. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. I'll use every analogy we have in the world for this one. You are going to see the people who are making the most money are the people who can, who can look at the players and look at the numbers and say, I know who's going to win tomorrow. And they're going to do crazy parlays and they're going to make crazy money. This is what we, and we're already seeing it right now. Like I mentioned that, that peanut live stream, the cartoon peanut, burnt peanut, apparently it's just cracking packs and CS2. People just want to watch that. So you've already got this massive explosion. You've got like Vegas, Matt, have you slots and Prince money. You got lady luck, plays slots and Prince money. You can lose the gambling, but people want to watch it. They want to play it. People want to be involved in it. You can, we can call it bad all day and night. Don't get me wrong. I completely agree, but this is where the economy is shaping up to go. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's like multiple things here. I mean, cause we have, you know, deaths of, of misery, right? You know, people that, you know, start consuming drugs or whatever, but now you're seeing like consumption of misery, right? Like, I think a lot of what's going on here is these are people, uh, that, and primarily young men who don't view themselves of having a future in the country or having a future in general. And so they just say, well, okay, I could do 50 years at a company. You know, you're not even guaranteed a good pension anymore, or I can just get rich now because I want to be rich now. Cause the only time I can really enjoy this wealth is while I'm young. Um, and, and so they'd start, you know, buying into these effectively get rich quick schemes. There's so many problems with sports betting. We can get into, I think another missing piece here. So I, I think first of all, it's primarily affecting young men. Secondarily, young men were primed for this because here's like a little zoomer inside baseball is from like 12 years old when you're playing video games. And I like video games. I'm a proud gamer, but you're, you're, you're, you're primed for gambling, especially if you're playing, uh, games like Fortnite or games like I love FIFA growing up. And on FIFA, you have ultimate team. What do you do in ultimate team? You pay money and you can open a pack and then you have a 5% chance of getting a good player. And it kind of already starts getting this mentality of, of gambling, of, of, of, you know, you know, the, you know, the odds are stacked against you, but you know, there's a chance you get a really good player. So it's already kind of primed this. I don't know if risk tolerance is the proper word to use here, but it's tampered with people's psychology when it comes to risk and involving putting money on the line. And so it basically primed an entire generation, my generation, same thing with Fortnite, same thing with, you know, call it a war zone. It primed us for betting markets. It primed us for sports gambling. I'm probably going to lose money, but when I do make money, I'm going to make it all back. Same thing with like Pokemon and magic, the gathering cards open, like Tim was saying, burnt peanuts, opening packs of, uh, you know, cards. Yeah. I think he's, he's, he's pulling guns and CS2. Well, yeah. And I don't know, I don't know exactly what I think these video games like FIFA, like Fortnite were like so designed for mass consumption that it primed people from the online aspect. Cause I, growing up, I don't really remember people doing pack openings or like kids on the playground, but you can do that in your living room. As long as you had your parents' credit card. The point, the point right now is I'll, I'll, I'll phrase it like this. I have seen probably 7,000 great musicians on Instagram and the, and And I'm going to tell you guys, I don't know if the issue is just that humans aren't real, like they're all NPCs. And, you know, like you said that the Seventh-day Adventists were right. There's only like— Jehovah's Witness. There's like 144,000 are unsold. I'm like, they might have been cooking with that. Well, go on Instagram and you're like, do you know how many times I have seen the video where a person walks in the room and in the corner of the room they see the woman in the white dress, the horror, twisted in the corner. And then it points and they look down, there's a spider. And then they're both in the corner of the room. I have seen that video 7,000 times. I want these people criminally charged for being boring. But I started to think to myself, maybe they just can't think. Like maybe the extent of their thought process is I can only imitate what I see other people do. My point is people are bored. I've seen a million videos. Okay, in all seriousness, maybe it's 375 where it's some young Gen Z woman playing a folk song on her guitar. And then there's text being like, you're so lucky your algorithm stumbled upon this independent artist. And I'm like, yeah, you win 7,000 other identical, generic, boring people. Block, block, go away. My point is this. People are bored. They have nothing to do. Everybody can sing. Anybody can AI generate good music. No one needs to do much of anything. While we have political complaints, the rise of woke and political complaints is largely attached to there's nothing. Nothing else to do. We don't have to tend the fields anymore or the chickens or the cows. People who are poor in the United States are obese. So from this, people are listless, purposeless, and bored. And they're seeking out a dopamine hit. What's really bad about it is if I go out into my skate park and I land a nollie hard flip, I get a dopamine hit. It feels good. I did that trick. I'm a 40-year-old man. I still got it. For young people. They artificially trigger a dopamine hit when they win at gambling something they cannot control. And that's the problem is that there's nothing left for people to do that makes them feel like they're succeeding except for random chance. I'd go one step further in this. I'll take it one step further. And I think it's great that the president has been fighting with fake news and saying how fake news is bad. But I'm past the point where I believe that the TV can brainwash people as well as big tech does with all the media. All these tools. Because you can say that they conditioned you with the FIFA game. By now, they've got neuroscientists on their team and they're figuring out how to hook you. And they're figuring out how to hook your siblings and your kids and everybody else. And that's the real enemy here. The real enemy to me is the tech monsters that are using neuroscience to take over our lives. All of us. And I don't disagree, Tim, that that's where we are. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. But to not describe it. That way is to me, you know, again, NBC News isn't isn't programming us. They're not or CNN even. It's Facebook and it's it's all the big tech giants. And and I think it's much scarier than people realize. Well, I completely agree. I mean, like if Thomas Edison were alive today, he'd be working for some advertising firm, like, you know, digging through, you know, people's data to determine, you know, how to best target, you know, Mr. Beast, you know, candy bar ad or something. Like, that's quite literally the brightest minds in the United States, barring some who do find success are like pouring into basically advertising agencies like it is really disturbing stuff. And, yeah, to your point, I think people overrate the impact of liberal universities of mainstream media. I think a lot of what's going on is like social contagions who spread their pathogens through social media. And I'm not advocating. I think a social media ban actually makes things worse. But it is to indicate. That young people are developing these ideas independently of like, you know, mainstream messaging. I think these are actually developing like pretty organically. Like you're meeting with like transgender people. A lot of that stuff, a lot of the stuff they're into, a lot of that culture is developed independently and it is disseminated through social media. But I don't think that is like some of it certainly is top down. But like they enter these universities to the left of the universities like that is often the case. And then they maybe pull the university to the left. But they're like coming in from high school like this. We're not changing this. If you want change, you have to influence children, not Gen Z. Gen Z are adults. You're not going to go to someone who's in their mid-20s and say, let's rearrange your entire life. It's not happening. The habits that were built like you described came from when y'all were 12 years old. Cracking packs, boosters, playing Overwatch and desperately trying to get that skin. And then you can show it off. You can play the game with the rare pack pull or the Pokemon card. So these people are now adults. And you're not. You're not putting that. You can go to younger kids and say, we're putting a stop to this now so that when they grow up, they don't have these habits. But it's all happening. Yeah, I want to. I want to read this rumble rant from John Waters. He says, I watch Vegas, Matt. It's actually four guys talking and having fun. He shows his session win or lose. I like watching because it's an escape from all the noise. Just four guys joking and having fun. I get it. Completely agree. And that's what our plan with the show poker with the boys was supposed to be. We wanted to do a podcast that was more just like dudes goofing off and telling. Jokes. Unfortunately, it's illegal in every single state to do this unless we move to Texas. So it's like we never got around to it that we bought all the stuff. The point is not gambling. The point was an escape. And it's something that I was pointing out before last week. The Internet used to be the escape. It's not anymore. The Internet is now the prison. The Internet is now real life. When I was younger, before we had ubiquitous smartphones, I'd go out into the world. And that was the world you interacted with. I mean, old people recognize that. Remember, this young people didn't live it. So I'd go to work. That's work. News would be on. People would talk about stuff. Had to refill the mangoes in the Jamba Juice fridge. I worked at a Jamba Juice. And I'd go back home and I'd have a computer and I could go in a room by myself and send the computer and just shut everything down. And I'd learn about things and I'd be interested in things. Today, the Internet is the prison. It is life. And so people are turning it off and being like, I want something else. Yo, I've, I've watched is blew my mind walking in a room full of people sitting on couches and they're watching Vegas, Matt, two hour slot machine, just literally press a button. The slot comes down, press a button, slot comes down and they're like, I just want it all to S to shut up. I get it. Well, I think it's like virtually impossible to find like a normie Oracle, like this person that is completely untouched by the Internet now, because it's like, it really is all encompassing. I mean, like my grandmother knows what looks maxing it. I mean, like it is like beyond, you know, it is beyond like, this is something that like was circulating on 4chan 10 years ago and now is like in the American zeitgeist. Everyone's aware of it. CNN, New York times are all doing from, you know, big hits on it and whatnot. Like we are beyond the point where, you know, we can like revert back and just go back. You do get these rare moments where the Internet actually does. And I'm talking about like the post COVID era does offer up something that is probably healthy for people. I think the key is like trying to amplify that. Like a good example was like in the aftermath of COVID. In the lockdowns is chess had this moment where chess, everyone's in a chess. Like all my friends are playing chess. We are, you know, in taking chess streamers and we are watching chess tournaments and whatever nerds. Yeah. It's like nerds, but it's funny because it's like you had people from all sorts of walks of life, like getting into chess. And what was funny is it kind of died off. And I wonder if part of the reason it died off was because these companies are finding it impossible to monetize it. Like the main, uh, the main house in chess was chess.com and chess.com is ran by like these chess purists ideologues. Maybe that's not a. You know, I'm sure chess, people will get mad at that, but like, from my perspective, these are people that weren't actually seeking to just like totally monetize, um, they're basically stranglehold on the market. And it was this rare moment where I'm like, this is actually something nice that the internet has offered up and provided. I think the key would be like, you kind of have the socially engineer way out of this is like amplify those more positive analog experiences and pretty much legislate out of existence. These more like cancerous elements of the internet, like the gambling, but, but guys, let's play it out then let's play out what the crisis to come is and this, this is way too glib, but you know, the industrial revolution happens and everybody comes in off the farms and according to their accounts, they were drunk, the men were go to work in a, in a factory and they get drunk at night. It's where gin got popular in London. They were all blotto, right? And then you go forward in time and you see every time, you know, if you're right, Tim, that we're going towards this thing where it's going to be the attention economy, what do we end up with prediction economy? Sorry. What, what do we end up with in terms of how people are living? Because you're not going back on the farm. I agree with you. There's nothing to do. I agree with you relatively and you, and all the relationships have changed, right? There's not the same situation where you lived within eight blocks of all the people that you might possibly marry in 1915, right? So what are we headed towards? Think about, think about it this way. When AI can do everything and it already knows what is right. What value do humans have conceptualization? So if, if any person can go on AI and get a picture generated a video game made a movie made, can answer any question, then humans have no value for each other. The economy makes no sense. I'm not going to go to you and say, can you do work for me? The robot can do it by itself. The robot cancer, all the questions, heck, optimist bots are going to come and clean my gutters. It costs me almost nothing. What value does another person have? I can provide information not yet available. So the AI can answer the questions now, but it sucks at predictions. I can make a good prediction, so we're going to see people who tend to be right based on and what's going to happen. Now this is already true obviously, if you are good at predicting the future you're going to get rich it will just be substantially more apparent and the basis by which many people are becoming rich and it already is actually but what's the crisis look like what's the what's the crisis look like what is the what is the the devastation of that look like in terms of the community they're you know how do people function how do they feel i mean what do you what do you do about it what do you mean that well i mean not everybody's going to be good at predicting not not everybody's good at anything right i know but there are people who work at mcdonald's and they can't do anything else right but they have something to do and in the future that's not going to be there for them so they got nothing to do there there are people right now who just live off welfare well there are there are people who do nothing and get paid there are jobs that are fake for the purpose just to give people money well i i agree with that but that's a that's that's a progression in a negative way a regression or whatever the word would be towards something that's not good right there wasn't there wasn't welfare a hundred years ago the same way there is now right you had to go to saint stanislaus if you were polish american and get some help or you're going to saint patrick's so what do we end up with if we go i mean ubi doesn't work it doesn't work it does not work so it doesn't work so we have right now a class of people that as you said are obese and because they're on welfare it's not a meaningful life right so what do we end up do when most of us find meaningful to them well do we end up with most of most of the people in that existence so most people actually have a meaningless life well that's a question outside i mean most people find meaning with their with families and with their their you know social connections and stuff most people don't do a job they love they do a job that pays the bills they do a job that they can tolerate um so i don't know that that we're we're going to be able to fix the fact that people don't have the same social connections but i don't think the jobs part is actually that important because i think that there are a an exceedingly few number of people in in the at least in the u particularly in in the world but in specifically in the u u.s um that have a job they really enjoy that they love most people go to a job that they tolerate maybe they like anybody ever i mean if you were if you're a hunter-gatherer no working a few so that's just that's called there's more people now than ever have probably yeah that's right i think that's true and so i'm just saying that what the problem that's coming it seems unbelievable overwhelming i think what i'm trying to articulate is the is the social connections is the more pressing problem than the actual work stuff yes i think that's true and i mean i know ed you've you've talked about this before i mean i i think part of it really is like with sort of immigration crisis that we have with legal like you're seeing the sort of the social compact breakdown where i mean even legal immigrants like okay so i did all this paperwork and this person just comes skips the line where like a lot of communities in this country really feel unstable because of the volume of like illegal immigration that's coming to the country and like trump's been doing some some great work on the immigration front but how do you like go to young men and you're like hey by the way you can't buy a house and 20 million of them are being awkward and then sarah huckabee sanders makes a an ad just crapping all over you yeah and you know by the way that's the end of her career she wanted to be vp in the next uh let's pull this up we got this tweet from sarah huckabee sanders you pay taxes to cover welfare for people who just choose not to work that's why i launched a welfare to work requirement if you're young healthy and get government assistance you should work go to school or volunteer let me play the video for you guys and then you can guess why everyone's mad yeah oh you want some of this come on me brad brad has turned relaxing into a full-time profession but you you actually work hard you pay taxes to cover welfare for guys like brad who just choose not to work wow that's why i launched a welfare to work requirement almost there now more arkansans are working than ever before even brad yeah so uh what do you guys notice about this video that's got everybody all angry he's a chud they're going after gamers they're going after gen z white male gamers as if they're sitting at home on welfare not working oh i'm proud to say on this tweet i have the top quote tweet i've ratioed her like three to one on this good stuff are holding it down on this front in the quotes yeah i have number one uh kate brown says the only acceptable villain in their anti-welfare ad is a male gamer yeah like a safe one though it is because it's it is safe attack vector where it's like look if we're going to cut the brass tacks i think we kind of know instinctually especially in a place like arkansas who the primary people are that are on welfare that probably gamer walks alone uh yeah and so you're seeing like this this total all-out attack it's always going to be acceptable to punch um and beat up on young white men because like we're expected to just take it and that's what's so absurd about this where you know some people are like well what if she's doing something that could be solved but she understands like if she can win over like you know more left wing people by attacking young white men then like people support it and i'm like then just don't cut the ad at all like why even make the ad in the first place it's just a completely abhorrent messaging um to young men who like it's been well illustrated that and the trump administration has been you know a large part of exposing a lot of this has been well illustrated how major institutions in this country have seeked to punish young white men prevent them from getting into college prevent like what through deep supporting dei initiatives prevent them from getting into getting better and better jobs in the economy that they would be entitled to off of merit. It's just in every direction, it's been this impediment. And then how do you turn around? You turn around and attack those same guys who, I did a cursory search. It's like 3% of under 30 white men are taking welfare subsidies in the state of Arkansas. And they're probably taking it legitimately. Presumably, yeah. Yeah, they collected unemployment legitimately, and then there are people who are abusing it, and they're not being called out. Yeah, so that's what's just frustrating. And it kind of goes back to my earlier thing. Like, I mean, immigration is like where a lot of young men are, not a lot. You can go look at the polling. The number one issue young men are citing is like immigration-related issues, whether it's like housing crunches caused by immigration, jobs crunched by immigration. So it's like the Trump administration has been doing really good work on that front. But the problem is immigration in and of itself is not going to be a kitchen table issue. When you communicate to young guys, hey, we're like buying you back into the game. You guys got completely like nuked from orbit by liberals with their junior partners, the conservative movement. We're buying you back into this game by creating some room with like immigration enforcement. Communicate that to us. What you don't do is like turn around, and then this is your messaging. And we're not just picking on the random governor of Arkansas. This is a woman that is steeped in conservative ink tradition. This is a woman whose dad is like one of the most important people in the conservative movement, so to speak. This is a woman that should know better. And so this isn't just an outlier because you also will see this sorts of messaging from Republicans all the time because they take for granted young white men. Because, you know, as soon as young white men start getting a little agitated and say, "What, are you going to go vote for the Marxists? They hate you even more." And it's like, it just puts you in this tough perspective from like game theory. Well, this is why Nick Fuentes said the GOP needs to be burned to the ground. Yeah. Because of things like this. And he's just like, you're not going to get any meaningful political representation until the GOP is weak and taken over. Well, and if you look at it from the perspective of how do the Democrats talk about their core constituents, or at least who they like expect to be a part of their core constituencies, they're coming up with holidays for them. They're coming up with grants. They're like, black women, black men are the greatest things in sliced bread. And it's like, if that's your core base, fine, the Democrats know how to play politics. I'm not expecting the GOP to have like, you know, white history month or anything like that. But at the very least, don't attack us. I mean, it is just like, especially if they are, they are in this knife fight for the midterms. I mean, it's insulting, sure. But additionally, you're just going to completely demoralize young guys who, okay, yes, they're not like the number one voting bloc. It's still going to be, you know, old. You know, older, older white people for the Republicans. But you're going to need them at some point, like when, you know, the demographics. Well, I, I, I'm sorry. I just, I, I, I got a rag on conservatives. Like at a certain point, you know, I look at, I look at a kid and he's getting bullied. Okay. And I see a bully picking on him. And the kid who's getting bullied just keeps getting bullied and he won't do anything about it. Am I supposed to go, oh no, oh, that poor baby. Nah, that ain't me. That ain't me. I'm going to, I'm going to see that kid and he's going to be like, I'm getting picked on. I'd be like, well, maybe you should start doing some pushups, learn to fight, kick them into balls and I'll leave you the F alone. I just, I'm, I'm done. I I'm frustrated with conservatives who, who will not defend themselves to save their own political ideology. It just, you know, but, but this, um, this, uh, ad has a history. Reagan got famous in between his 76 and 80 loss talking about welfare Queens. And he accurately showed who it was and that the policies of the great society had created this mess. And here is what I would say is amateur hour. Someone said welfare. I I've seen the polling welfare to work polls well among voters they say, but if you don't know where the heartbeat of the, uh, of the Republican party or the conservative movement or just America is you do an ad like this. I mean, imagine naming that person, Brad. Like it's. It's actually like taunting everybody that knows Chud and Chad and all the rest of it. And, and, and for her to think that this turns out anybody, and by the way, Arkansas, she does have a problem. She's not very popular down there, so she, she's doing something to try to react to that. That's what's going on. But I mean, again, end of her career and I, I, Tim, I don't know what you mean. Uh, what do you want? You want Brad to defend himself for us to throw her under the bus? I'm saying her career's over. She will never be on a national ticket. So. Yeah. That qualifies the, I'm not going to call out the actual abuse on the welfare system. which is largely coming from migrants it's coming from uh single baby mamas in the black community right it's not coming from young white gen z guys they're too afraid to say it so they won't at the same time i also i also will kind of push my edge and i saw a clip and with all due respect i know people gonna get people get mad because they it's like it feels like i'm attacking a little guy but crowder's got his debate going on right now and there was a woman who said that she has to lie about her politics to graduate don't go to that school i'm i'm done i'm not sympathizing with you when you choose to go to a woke university pretend to be liberal lie on your papers and say please validate me woke professor i'm i'm so sick of this when i was a teenager i had a friend who was getting paid three dollars an hour working as a as a waitress and she was like it's not fair we need to raise the minimum wage and guarantee wait staff wages and i said you can quit she's like well no i need the job and i'm like okay well if they're not paying you enough you clearly need a better job so quit and she's like i i can't like i have to have a job and i said okay then go to all the other employees and tell them all to get together and quit at the same time demand a two dollar an hour raise and she said no i won't do that i say then don't complain to me and demand that we change laws for you when you won't take the first step to improving your life so again with all due respect i understand it is stressful it is difficult but if you have decided that you are going to bend the knee to these people don't be surprised when they lord over you for 20 years look if you're gonna get if you're gonna you know steal man the her her argument or her her ad at the end brad gets a job and it's like oh look this is this is maybe something good but you can't deny the fact that you're going to get a job and you're going to get a job and you're young white men have got kind of the the you know shit into the stick for the past decade or so since 2015 i forget what they're what the uh the article was but you were we talked about it on the show before tape what was it the article about uh the the discrimination against young white men oh right yeah in the compact that was in the compact um and it's true like john doyle was talking about it recently it's like young white men actually are discriminated against and i think the reason that isn't so much that she has a bone to pick with young white men but because the fact that it's safe if you put any other person yeah yeah republicans are too scared to say there are black women abusing the welfare system and we're giving too much money to illegal and legal immigrants they're too scared to say i mean except donald trump imagine if democrats in california cut an ad painting you know a chinese guy as like just this like really incompetent like it'd be so stupid because it's like that's your base like what are you doing so it's like just don't make the ad at all don't make it's going to be popular people are gonna like it if that's your like don't even make the ad at all because you've just antagonized who like like in large part i can attest to this personally make up the majority of your activist space so everyone's like okay well they don't vote yes that's true but they do provide you the muscle those are the ones knocking on doors those are the guys who are gonna like staff a lot of these administrations it's like alienate them you potentially they're not going to go to the left but they're just going to tap out they're going to be on cow sheet and sports betting it's like when you see these uh home security company commercials and the burglars are always like middle-aged white yeah yeah i'm sorry that's just not the demographic of people that are committing these crimes you know i have a problem with this there is nothing wrong with saying that a majority of like murders are committed by young black men that is just a statistic and it says nothing about the individual black person it is not disparaging in any way to your average or any other black person to point out there are criminals that are disproportionately that murder is disproportionately committed by young black men that's it but what we see here is as as phil pointed out i think it's already been said several times but i'll say it again it is safe to attack white men it is safe because white men aren't going to do anything about it and if she goes after the actual demographics that are abusing welfare she she's like i would lose every single one of those votes so you know what white people are going to vote for and this is kind of the point that i was making with and not for anybody here not for the people who are obviously standing up and pushing back but as we're looking at this you know i've got i've got x pull up a monitoring news and i see at crowder's debate this woman said she had to lie about her political beliefs lie on her paperwork otherwise she wouldn't graduate i was like congratulations you bent the knee to woke lunatics so that they would validate you i hope it works out for you congratulations sarah huckabee sanders the white people white conservatives are gonna vote for despite this ad like you said what are you gonna do vote for a marcus marxist they're gonna bend over and take this stuff so i don't know what the answer is i'm just i'll tell people this if you won't stand up for your political beliefs you're gonna vote for a marxist they're gonna bend over yourself you know what i'll put it this way if you don't have the fortitude to stand up for yourself don't expect me to yeah well i think you should like look at it from from a slightly different perspective which is no young men young let's just say specifically young white men aren't gonna vote democrat that's that's likely not gonna happen but you're gonna lose an engine room like this you know this this bit and it's okay to say like young white men are probably destined to vote republican because among young white men they are more right wing than millennials and i think potentially even gen x they'll stay home certainly but when you lose when you just basically nuke them from orbit they're not gonna be excited to vote republicans they're not gonna be wanting to go work for them certainly because it's like why am i gonna stick my neck out for you when you couldn't even not just stick your neck out for me but you couldn't even resist attacking me i mean it's just like completely ridiculous so they're gonna lose that engine room who they're gonna need i mean they don't need it right now per se but they're gonna need it in the next five to ten years yeah and a lot of them are gonna remember this a lot of them aren't gonna like say well i take that job but i remember that sarah huckabee sanders no but it compounds it's just demoralization after more demoralization they just tap out they're like i'm just gonna get really into football or something and they're not gonna be interested in this anymore all right let's jump to a story that i was hoping we wouldn't have to cover but i guess we're gonna have to cover it's got 10 million plus views i saw the story earlier it's going massively viral because so many people hate candace owens but you got this guy in x who says exclusive candace owens is a lesbian with four dating accounts and cheated on her hebrew speaking husband with girls in 2022 i found four for dating profiles and there is some crude drawing of candace licking a hairless cat oh and it says candace owens the cheating lesbian funded by a zionist oh my god it's got 8.8 million views plus insane amounts of quotes and it is the second top trending story on x right now i saw this story earlier and i said i'm not going anywhere near this i actually uh i think this guy emailed me and it said like something like the dirt on candace and i was like no i don't do this stuff i'm not playing this game well you know other people wanted to play that game so here you go i'll give you the gist of it so i've got to go through literally every single thing in this weird scooby-doo themed expose apparently she's got uh accounts on youtube that it does appear they're legit they're regular like a regular youtube account using a specific username that same username is attached to the account that she's using and she's using a specific username to gay dating profiles that i believe many of them don't have her face but it shows a young black woman and that's part of the uh corroborating information i guess so uh i don't know we'll scroll down a little bit chapter one it's uh apparently she's got i don't know look you can read through it yourself i don't want to go through all this stuff but she uses certain uh certain usernames appear on gay dating profiles and the same username appears on other uh profiles that are uh very obviously her and so that's largely the argument and then there's some videos where you can hear her voice and stuff like this yeah i'm not gonna i'm not gonna play all that but um it's hilarious the cheating lesbian funded by a zionist the deconstruction of candace candace owens hidden homosexuality the federal agent promoting real candace o to become president so he can blackmail her with a sex tape and the zionist who secretly owns her anti-zionist business oh my god well what i will say is there was a big scandal because her lawyer was like one of the most prominent zionists i don't know if you guys saw this is like weird i don't know welcome to the news cycle i guess this is the news uh say words say words well look i mean when you're someone as popular as candace owens if you're or you know someone as that has made as much news as candace owens has in the past you know a couple of years if you have skeletons in your closet people are going to be looking for them and i mean obviously i don't know how legitimate this stuff is it looks like there might be some substance to it i saw the tweets myself and i scrolled on by so i don't i don't give much of a crap about candace owens um and or the drama kind of stuff but you know but who gives a crap if she's gay anyway i guess i guess i guess the the idea is like if you're going to put in the headline she's funded by zionists that i can kind of tell the kind of people that are are going to be sharing this and posting it probably anti-zionists yeah and uh i don't know honestly it it would make sense that she's propped up as controlled opposition if someone was going to make that argument i don't really care to argue that she's gay if she is gay like my response like when i saw the email someone emailed me and they were like you got to see the story i'm like good for her if she's gay whatever i don't know she's in a sham marriage i don't know whatever like i'm not here to rag on someone for being gay you can do that that's fine you know i think i think part of the the impulse for people to do this is the fact that down in the mud with stuff, and people are like, oh, well, If this is the type of salacious stuff that Candace Owens is involved or interested in reporting, finding out that she has a salacious past or whatever, people are going to be like, look, you lie down with pigs, you get covered in mud. That's the way that media works. And if you're involved in this kind of stuff, again, I don't have to know that she is, but that's what's going to happen. The picture they drew is pretty good. Yeah, you pulled that up. I was like, what is this going to be? I think it's just a test to the ironclad reporting of mainstream media news. Yeah, exactly. One of the best, most reputable outlets. I think they're in the new White House press pool. You can see the mystery wagon outside of the White House. Could you imagine if Laura Loomer asks one of the stand-in press briefings, can you comment on Candace Owens being a cheating lesbian funded by Zionists? Or if they're in the press pool. Yeah, John Smith, Mystery Machine. Mystery Machine News. Yeah, I was wondering if you were on. Has Laura Loomer tweeted about this yet? She did. Sure, she's way down. She did. Again, I was like, I don't care. It's not news, okay? Like, if Candace is gay, whatever, she can be gay. But it's trending on X. It's like the trending news right now. I just muted everything that you could possibly, like, you know, if you're even referencing her in some vague way, I haven't muted. So I just am completely out of the Candace world. So you missed the shocking. I'm just recording from Mystery Machine News. I'm usually glued to my television set waiting for an update. Why go with the stupidest brand you could? Like, if you've got this big expose, call it like the World News Times or something. You know what I mean? Not like shaggyism from the Mystery Machine. I'm curious the political philosophy there, too. He's already changed his bio to the man who defeated Candace Owens. He's claiming victory already. Yeah, it's just fascinating. I got to be honest. It's the kind of stuff that has me saying. Like, I'm checking out like with some renegade, hard hitting journalism. No, I'm just I'm just I'm watching. I watched. Did you guys know there was a pro data center party the other day in D.C.? Oh, yeah. A bunch of conservatives got together and had a big event. It was in favor of data centers. And people were asking him, like, what you hear. There's a woman and she's like, I love the Internet. And it's and then some protesters, some protester women showed up and started screaming. They're stealing all our water. And I'm just like, OK, everyone's retarded. Maybe we really need to go watch some football. Yeah. We need to return to like football and see if Trevor Lawrence has taken a knee feudalism. Well, I mean, like when politics is now, like now I get politicians, you know, why Mitch McConnell or Mike Johnson is just like, we're not going to do any of this stuff. John Thune's like, we're not going to pass the SAVE Act. They're sitting there being like, you want these people actually in control? And I'm like, you know, this, you know, it's really mind blowing to me. There's a new show coming out in Hulu. I forgot what it's called. I saw commercial for it today. And it looked like it looked like a school. It was rock or whatever. And I'm just like, and then I was I was talking to my wife and I was like, you know, like Toys R Us. There was like some report that toy sales are up amongst adults or something like this. Oh, yeah. And I'm just like, this is the state. OK, you know what? Like, what am I doing here? You know, I mean, I could. You could be opening packs of Pokemon. I was going to I was going to say that I got right behind me, right behind me. You can't see it anymore. So we moved it over and move it back. I've got a blue neon Chocobo card. Blue neon Chocobo card. You want to look up the value on that blue neon Chocobo card? Blue neon Chocobo. Blue neon Chocobo. We ain't playing around. How do you spell Chocobo? It's phonetic. C-H-O-C-O-B-O. Chocobo. Don't you know anything, Phil? No, I don't. Like chocolate bow. I feel like, yeah, spelling it phonetically actually confuses me more. Yeah. Yeah, I guess because it's a C, not a K. Blue neon Chocobo. Come on. Chocobo. Between nineteen hundred and twenty five hundred dollars. For ungraded near mint condition copies, the current market ranges between nineteen hundred and twenty five hundred dollars. Fresh out the pack in a double sleeve placed inside our little box. I also have an ancestral recall. A PSA 10 mint grade is examples exceed thirty nine hundred to nine thousand. Wow. I doubt it's 10 because you got to get lucky to pull a 10. Yeah. But, you know, nine to nine point five is is like typical when you when you open a pack just because there's always some kind of blemish. Twenty five hundred bucks. I could be spending my days cracking packs of we got a reality fracture coming out for Magic the Gathering. You know, I could I could just open booster packs and make a ton of money instead of whatever this is. You know, that's true. I mean, like people are passionate, but I say it again, you know, like we're chickens in a chicken coop because I look at a lot of this stuff and I'm just like, this is what people want to talk about. Oh, yeah. Like when I'm on the street and then I see the Jehovah's Witness doing their thing. I stop now. I'm like, tell me more about your thing. Again. Well, I am sold. Because here's here's here's the reality. I mean. What what are you fighting for in politics with a story like this? What are you hoping to accomplish? Because if you're hoping to accomplish real change, like if you think Candace is negatively impacting the state of political affairs, this is not the most effective thing that a smart person could do to stop her. Smartest thing you could do would be as make as much money as possible and influence control and other systems. If you have control of a large business. You can actually manipulate with like that business, other other industries. You can do things like we see these universities and subsidize ideas. Making a blog that insults her for being gay doesn't actually do anything. You know, well, no, but the score settling. I don't know if it's maybe maybe it's mostly it's yes. This is just this person trying to use Candace as a springboard for their own, you know, attempt or for attention. That's why that's why he's already changed his name to the man that took Candace. Candace Owens down or whatever. I don't know. But that's that's that's what I'm talking about. Why I'm saying like, dude, am I really am I really going to is this really what we're doing? Too much of politics is just remember. Remember the the the the the the the snizmogger. What was her snizmogger? Yeah. What were people calling her? The woman who was spreading her legs and being conservative. Oh, yeah. I know you're talking. What's the word? I don't know what her name was. I don't remember. Yeah, it was something mogging. I don't know. I mean, because it's like. Oh, cooter mogging. Cooter mogging. Yes, the cooter mogger. Yes, she will. She's just selling her OnlyFans. They all are. Well, I don't know that. I mean, I got another one for you guys. I got another one to pull up for you guys. Let me see if I can if I can find this. Cooter mogging. I got a video here from I think it's the New York Times. Everything's fake. Everybody's lying. Instagram is dumb. Here's the video. The exodus. I'm an ex-trad wife. The first thing I do every morning is check to see if my child support's been paid yet. God. There is a new category of social media influencer, trad wife de-influencer. I was an 18-year-old trad wife who had a baby at the same age, and I'm 36 now, and I'm here to tell you, don't do it. The trad wife trend really came to prominence as the MAGA movement was rising, as Trump was coming into office the first time. What these trad wife accounts are keying into is conservative political movements in the United States. The trad wife social media trend is waning. I started following a bunch of trad wife accounts a few years ago. I was particularly interested in this one by this woman, Bernadine Bluntly. She would make these videos that were about how traditional rules prescribe that women should be submissive to their husbands. Shout out to the men who do these hard jobs, who take these risks so society can function. Soon she would have 140,000 YouTube subscribers. Eventually. It is her income from Instagram, YouTube, an online course that she sells to young women that sustains her, her husband, and their six children. A couple of months ago, I noticed a new video on her feed. I can no longer align with the trad movement as it exists today. She is not the only one who is distancing herself from the trad movement. Recently, Nara Smith went on the Call Her Daddy podcast. People started to compare. You two trad wife. Yeah. They kind of used me as the poster child for the trad wife movement, which was very bizarre to me. A lot of women who were recruited into the trad movement, they're recruited when they are very young, when they're 17, 18, a few years out. They are women who have multiple children and are starting to understand that the fantasy of that life that was sold to them is not what the reality is like. Many women are finding that. It's dangerous if they put all of their trust, all of their power, all of their money in the hands of a man who abuses it. What I found talking to these women is any of them feel like their lives could not have gotten worse. What I initially thought was a return to strong family values has, in many cases, devolved into just control, legalism, and an online ideal that doesn't hold up in real life. Today, Bernadine is divorced. She shares custody of her six children. Are we in a trad? So the internet is completely fake. And I think for the most part, there is no truth, only argument. The New York Times is lying. But this is what the internet and politics is. Isolating a handful of women who've had bad experience and then saying trad wife is over does not actually mean it's over. Hence, they play everyone's favorite game. She says, is the trad wife movement over? And I forgot. What the name of the law? Behringer or something like that. Any headline that asks a question can be answered with the word no. So what The New York Times is doing. Taking a handful of accounts of bad experiences and then trying to convince you that women don't want to be trad wives. At the same time, the accounts they're isolating probably were grifters in the first place. People who are saying I'm a trad wife because it got them followers and made them money. This is the internet and this is the large majority of politics. That's the unfortunate reality. There are people who are voting based on what they currently believe. Their beliefs can change. And you are being lied to by the media as always. The overwhelming majority of media is not interested, and this is independent or otherwise, they're not interested in telling you the truth. They're interested in you agreeing with their worldview. The purpose of empowering their worldview for some reason. It's not all bad when I say it like that. Somebody who thinks I need to get people to agree with me on like, you know, not transing kids or whatever we get is a good thing. The question is, are you fighting for truth so that people can make these decisions or are you pretending? And I think the sad reality is the overwhelming majority of people have been lying from the get go. We just sometimes overlap in what our moral worldviews are. I do believe there is inherent good and objective evil. I don't think that lying is always evil. My point is that there are people who believe they're justified in manipulating others because their end goals are the good one. And this is exactly what we're seeing right now. So my point ultimately is everything's fake. Nobody's making real arguments. And we exist in a world where the likes of the New York Times, as well as these influencers, are trying to manipulate you for some reason, largely to make money. And I wish you good luck. Well, I mean, the New York Times criticizing the trad wife movement is not in any way a surprise to anybody, right? Like the the this particular woman, I assume that she probably considers herself a feminist. Any kind of narrative that tells young women, hey, maybe it's good to have a family. Maybe it's good to have a, you know, a husband. That's something that the progressive, you know, movement has been kind of against for as long as I can remember, particularly when she's saying either. She's basically, you know, trotting out all of the old arguments against marriage, you know, oh, you could be with an abusive man, you should, you're, you're going to be beholden to him. And you're going to have to, you know, you're not going to have any money and blah, blah, blah, you should get your career first. These are all old tropes that the feminist movement has been telling young women forever. And so this is just rehashing the same old arguments and using, you know, a couple people that had a bad experience as the, the, the, the, you know, the, the example. Yeah. I mean, all the trad wives aren't talking about it. All the actual traditional women like don't have an online presence. They're just married with kids. But the New York Times goal here is just to push feminism. Well, I was going to say, I think earlier I said something about, I didn't think that the mainstream media was brainwashing. And you watch this and I said to you in the middle, is that a journalist? I mean, if you think about how that's structured, how this preachy woman is laying out this argument. And as you say, it's totally fake, but you don't even know how fake it is. I mean, it's, and yet it's effective. How many times is that viewed? I mean, it's probably, uh, well, it's got 160,000 likes, so probably a lot of views, right? Yeah. And they know what they're doing. I mean, again, they know what they're doing and influencing people. And, and, uh, you know, here we are with New York times. You know, I think that, uh, shows like this are just, uh, the winds caught us the right time because almost everybody I meet is knowingly lying. Like when Kyla pretended to have a fight with me. So that it's like, they were like, wait, you're not playing the grift. I'm so confused. Like you can just lie about what's going on. And I would play along for the purpose of getting views. People start fake beef on the internet to get attention, to get views. And I think I, I gotta be honest, a small, I can count them on one hand, the amount of shows that I think are actually trying to be honest. And, uh, the rest are just trying to figure out how to maximize audience size and make money. Yep. It's, it's unfortunate, but the, you know, you're, you're going to see this kind of pushback from the left. And that's, that's the entirety of this, this Instagram reel, in my opinion, it's, it's a way to strike at women that think, Hey, you know, I should do traditional things, but you know, to Tate's point, like actual trad wives, like they're not really on the internet doing that stuff. They're taking care of their family. They're doing actually traditional, traditional stuff, not being, you know, social media influencers. Yeah. Well, they have like 20, so they're cleaning up the crime scene with the aesthetic. Yeah. That's what's, I mean, that's seriously what's going on. And like all these women, I bet, yeah, they're probably like divorced and now they got to like, you know, recreate themselves or whatever. Half of them probably weren't even calling themselves trad wives before, but now they're coming out on the other side and they're like, yeah, that's exactly. Well, like that. Yeah. The second one, she's like, I used to be a trad wife. No, she probably just saying that. Cause it gets views guys go on Instagram and just swipe the carousel. And you will probably see in one hour, 300 accounts of people that may have well have. Just posted, please follow me. It's insane. And it really makes me want to go live in a van down by the river. Didn't the one girl say she had like a baby at 18 and now she's 36. And, uh, something's like, how long has a trad wife been like popularized like this? And also what are they trying to achieve by like, you know, trying to make people not want to have more children. I don't get it. Well, this is, like I said, this is just the, the same feminist tropes. Yeah. You know, trot it out forever. It's, it's the, you know, your mate, you could get into a bad relationship. You need to get a career first. You can, you can wait to have kids, et cetera, et cetera. Um, and for, for a long time you heard women saying, look, I regret, or you've heard women, you know, saying, I regret the fact that I didn't have kids in when I was young and now I'm 35 and I can't find a man that, that wants to settle down or that wants to have children with me. Or, you know, I froze my eggs and now I'm, you know, in my forties and we're having, I'm having problems. Actually having a kid and et cetera. These are all real things that women are experiencing. And yes, there are some women that end up in bad marriages or whatever that does happen, but it doesn't change the fact that young women, if they actually do want a family, the best time to do it is when you're young, because that's when it's most, when you're most likely to be able to conceive. That's just. The other thing too, is if we hadn't, if, if we got rid of no fault divorce, this woman would not be divorced. People just had to, you know, like work hard for their family. And it was expected in society. Yeah. We're like dating, you're, you're practicing divorce. So every time you break up, cause these people typically will date for like three or four years and then break up. And it's like, you've just like thrown away three to four years of something with, with someone and people typically engage in all the behaviors that were historically reserved for a marriage. Now it's part and parcel. So you're like primed for divorce already. So it really is no, you know, no wonder why this tends to happen. Because ex-trad wife is really like redundant thing to say. You're just a divorced woman, like, you know, presumed. Presumably. Yeah. Presumably. Presumably the marriage that you were in did feature like gender dynamics. You can't get away. There's no such thing as like a truly like egalitarian marriage. Like, yeah, there's probably some aspects the males like to do and the females like to do, and that doesn't overlap. So then you can go back and say, well, I wasn't a trad wife. It's just like, yeah, it's just very redundant. They probably don't really have much reach. Cause I don't think any women are aspiring to be trad wives or just aspiring to be wives with children. And if that is now traditional, so be it. But these women that are actually like, you know, like my fiance, she's, I would say she probably possesses fairly traditional values, but she doesn't have those because the internet told her to do so. It's just like, she's a woman that's like naturally, which I'm not a trad husband. I'm just like aspiring to have children. I guess that makes you traditional now. Um, so yeah, this is like, just because we're in such a horrific gender zeitgeist right now, I guess these terms do like have possess meaning, but they really didn't 10 years ago. Like trad wife wasn't invented. It's just gender dynamics, marriage, dating, et cetera, broke down so much. And now we had to invent a term for someone that possesses natural gender roles. And I think that's really the more important story in all of this. Yep. It's all fake and gay. Well, yeah. I mean, that's, that, that sums up what Tate was saying. Like the idea of trad wife is actually fake, right? Like it was just normal up until 1965 or whenever they invented, uh, the birth control pill, which is why like back to my initial point, which is someone that is openly identifying as a trad wife, they're possessing these aesthetics, but they're posting online likely indicates they're hiding something or they're trying to cover up for some, they're trying to overcompensate for something that happened in the past. And that's why like, yeah, these people that are engaging in this way, I'm sure there's outliers. I mean, I can't think of any, but I'm sure there are, uh, that are like online trad wife influencers. Um, but yeah, if they possess that desire to like, you know, shout, to the rooftops, how great this, this lifestyle is, they're probably juxtaposing it with something in their past that wasn't traditional. And that's why all of a sudden I've discovered this traditional aesthetic and I'm going to make it my whole thing because likely what happened in the past wasn't traditional. And so they have that contrast in their head where most women that you would classify as trad wives or whatever, they've been traditional their whole life. So they don't have this like past to juxtapose it to. So it doesn't occur to them to call themselves trad wives. And so, yeah, like when, when you see women identifying this way or, you know, have this like of how a traditional woman ought to act, you should like, evaluate them with like serious suspicion and scrutiny because there's there's likely something going on there um and we've seen countless you know how many times have we seen the trad wife turns out to not be so traditional with the way she's carried herself we're gonna grab your rumble rants and super chats so smash the like button share the show with everyone you know and the uncensored portion of the show is coming up at 10 p.m you don't want to miss it grim creeper says the atf just stated the other day that uh forced reset triggers are in fact actually machine guns people will need to be ready for knocks on their door could you i mean you mentioned it could you outline some of the victories you had on the well i the one the big one guys that i'm really i'm glad we came back back around to it is um in 1992 there was a law passed that said you could apply if you lost your second amendment rights you could apply and get them back because there are now today up to 30 million people who have what's called a disability on their second amendment rights if you were discharged from the military if you had various offenses including convictions you'd lose your second amendment rights 92 it passes all these years later we never got it implemented uh it was defunded by the left uh senator feinstein made it her life's goal to defund it george w bush never got it done trump one never got it done in the last about 15 months we implemented the program and it opened up and so there are like i said 30 million people that could apply to get their rights back second amendment rights back likely number is probably five million that would be eligible you know if you're in prison for a double murder using a gun you're not going to get your second amendment rights back but uh so that's what ongoing and if you go the website that we started justice.gov slash ffrr federal firearms rights restoration so justice.gov slash ffrr and you can see the program that's been implemented it's in three stages one kicked off last month another one will start the day after election day and then the next one will start the day after election day and then the next one will start the day after election day and then the people that can apply you apply it gets reviewed and you get your rights back and i will say president trump made it a priority when i was in doj i was told do this and then todd blanch who's now the ag made it a priority and so we've got it done and it's pretty cool it's pretty awesome the response is great i you know the the uh two or three weeks ago we had some pardons of uh i never say his last name right tate tate adamiac one of the guys that was the navy guy that was convicted of of ridiculous charges under biden those were they were really they were it was there was no law broken and he was sentenced to like 24 years or something crazy but anyway but and a couple other guys in there and we've been on the march i think on second amendment the jurisprudence in the doj uh the solicitor general is a guy named john sauer he does a great job on that so do uh some of the other folks so there's a lot of positive uh happening around the second amendment i did an necessary than ever at this moment in history, maybe back to the revolution, because you just need stability in the society. And when you see what I saw, which is, I looked at the emails of Lisa Monaco. I looked at Jack Smith's inbox. These people were targeting Americans. They had real plans to target Americans, to destroy Americans. This was not like, oh, should we debate the marginal tax rates? This was, we're going to put you in that gulag in DC. We're going to make up the law that we use to get you. And so getting your second amendment rights back, if you can, you know, and I tell people, you get out of prison, having served your time, you get your first amendment rights back automatically. You can speak whatever you want. You can assemble whatever you want. And so you ought to, all these years of chipping away at it, we have not had that back and we should, and we're going to have them. Actually, I want to talk to you about that with the last few minutes before we go to the Uncensored Show. You saw, political weaponization targeting at what adversaries of Biden or? Well, the biggest one that I saw, there's two, there's two ways to answer that. The first one is when I became U.S. attorney, I wanted to know, I called it the 1512 project, echoing the 1619 project. I said, I want to know why we charged in this office, in the U.S. attorney's office, the 1512 charge, because it's called obstruction of official proceeding. And it's meant to be about evidence tampering, not going to the electoral college and, you know, somehow disrupting the count, which is what they said. And what you discover in there is it went all the way up to Lisa Monaco's desk. She was the DAG at the time. And it was basically a lie. And once that was done, once the decision was made to use that lie, because if you trespass into the Capitol, that's a trespass. It's a misdemeanor. And no one's getting held on a misdemeanor. You had to put the felony of 1512 on it to make these guys go to jail and rot in jail for years and years. So my point in the 1512 project, which is a document that exists, it shows the trail and it shows the Capitol siege unit was targeting people to put them in jail. Ray Epps wasn't targeted. Ray Epps was given a walk. Why? Well, that's a good question. It's a good question. Keep asking. I mean, well, we've been asking for almost six years now. I think we're just, we're just, well, we're resigned to the fact that Trump is not going to give us use any of any, any real power. To tell people what's going on. Well, okay, fair enough. This is why people are checked out for the midterms too. Well, I mean, you can be checked out if you want, but you have to know who your enemy is. I mean, and I'm describing to you what we saw and what we know on the Jack Smith. Jack Smith decided that his vision for what to do to Trump was to put Trump at the center of a 250 to 300 person trial. In the 1990s in Sicily, they had what was called maxi trials. They tried 260 defendants. They built special courthouses and the trials went on for two years and they broke the mafia that way. That's what Jack Smith was doing. And he was willing to roll up guys and gals in the alternate electors. They were called, you remember those and roll them up into this massive thing and destroy them all. Those people were not even political types. You were, you were like the deputy, the vice chair of the county party in Wisconsin was asked to sign as an alternate elector and they were rolling up. And that was Jack Smith's vision was to put Trump at the center of a bunch of people, put Trump at the middle and roll this thing up and do it in DC. And if they'd gotten it in DC and district court there, you wouldn't have been able to control the jury. Why hasn't action been taken against any of these people? Well, I mean, Jack Smith is, he didn't do anything illegal. He did something that was in my mind, you know, completely unprecedented, but just prosecution. Uh, he didn't get to, well, you could do it maybe, but it's hard to do. I mean, look, I would have done malicious prosecution against a bunch of people. Do you think it was malicious prosecution? I think that Jack Smith got beat at the courthouse, that by the time he gets to, uh, Trump, he drops down to just Trump. You can make a case that that was malicious prosecution, but I think any reasonable person, even a liberal, but you see the argument from the liberals is that we want to win. So of course they're not going to concede to this. Any reasonable person who looks at the facts of the case is going to say, oh yeah, they're, they've, they've weaponized the legal system. Okay. Well, we're going to elect you. Trump, give you all three branches of government, right? Here's your opportunity. And he went, no. And so now I'm being asked to vote in the midterms again, and I'm just tired. You know, to be fair, like I said, look, we're, we're in Riley Moore's district. So we're chilling. He's going to win. I want to make sure he wins. I'm very happy. He does a great job. But as for the Republicans, what hope do I have when all of that stuff happened and they don't do anything about it? The weaponization, they, they, they tried to do that fund, right? Yeah. For people who are targeted and it, and it got stopped. They can't seem to get anything done. So it's like, okay, maybe this is not, this is not the way for us to push back against evil people. Yeah. Well, a couple answers to that. The weaponization fund was a stupid way to go about it. And that was not what most of us were advocating. That doesn't answer your question in the sense that it did blow up. The second thing I would say is I look, the deep state is real. And I will tell you that the, the forces, we got in on day one and we fired a lot of people, but we did not go far enough. If you ask me what, what is the necessary vision for the future? It's finished the job. I would say we have to finish the job, meaning we did a lot of stuff to start and we didn't get enough done. I concede it. What was stopping the Trump DOJ from going after these people? Oh, I'm describing it to you. All kinds of layers of, of bureaucrats and others who say not now, it's not illegal. It's not malicious prosecution. I mean, there was only a handful of us that were saying, let's keep going that way. Now you can say, well, it should be different. I'm not going to disagree with you, but I'm going to say that's what the reality is. And, you know, back to earlier in the conversation, you know, get, do you get to turn the ship around, uh, on a dime? It doesn't look like you do now. And you can say, well, we should have done it better. I'm not here to say, uh, yay or nay. I'm saying, you know, we can't afford to let them be in charge. Well, could I ask you kind of a related question? Cause I mean, it's kind of the same topic around like the mass deportations kind of themes, because, you know, from my perspective, this kind of is where the energy is with Republicans. I mean, this is for most people at the top of their list, what they want to see the Trump administration, administration carry out. I'm kind of wondering what your perspective is. Cause a lot of people are sort of contesting the same thing, which is like, Trump's trying to do one thing, but he's running up against a lot of walls regarding this. I'm kind of wondering where your head is at on the mass. Well, I mean, look, I, you guys probably could tell. I mean, I was frustrated, uh, in my role because I wanted to do more at various times and, and that's real. I mean, I wasn't in charge of everything and there we have it. So, but I will just say this in the first 60 days, I saw progress like I'd never expected to see. And you could say Doge was a success or failure. You're if you, if you don't know, you say it's a failure. If you know it was a success, was it a thorough success? No, but nothing was first 60 days. We did more to dismiss cases, pardon people, fire people. Look, we pardoned all the J sixers. We pardoned. pardon all the FACE Act, we pardoned cops, we dismissed case after case and fired prosecutors. What I would tell you is what I discovered was that's the tip of the iceberg. That the people that stayed, the people that are there, and then the people in the administration that came in in the administration become part of the system. The oxygen of the deep state is delay. Slow stuff down. It took us 15 months to implement what should have taken three months in the firearms rights restoration because there's all these layers, all these manuals, all this nonsense. If I could have gone back and done what we did in the first 60 days for the whole time, it would have been better, but that's not what happened. On deportation, by the way, same deal. You got these judges who jam it up and then our side, meaning Republicans, say, "Oh, well, we better wait. What are we going to do?" We should have defied the judges long before now. We should have taken that showdown on judges. We should impeach judges immediately, build a case, and when. Riley Moore would vote for it, but very few Republicans would vote for impeachment, but we have to build the case and make the argument about what these people are doing because otherwise our guys go, "Oh, well, we can't deport everyone." We're negotiating against ourselves because of the federal courts. Yeah, because on the deportation front, because you've outlined the deep state, but then also you have these special interest groups as well. They're all part of the deep state. Yeah. I mean, they're all wrapped up into this. Again, there's not a meeting where. It's not a conspiracy. It's a consensus. That's the old John Birch Society line. That's exactly right. There's not a meeting where they say, "This is how we do it." There's a consensus that we must slow down whoever comes in, especially Trump, and we'll use every tool we have, and then our side doesn't have the stomach to impeach somebody. This Snooki woman, the judge in the District of Columbia, this is insanity. There's no stomach to use the tools in the Constitution from the Congress to just. If you just talk about impeachment, these people lose their mind. I'll tell you a quick story. I go to the federal district court. Boesberger invites me over. I'm the U.S. attorney appointed by the President of the United States. All the authority. I go to a meeting of all the federal district court judges, and Chutkin, one of the judges, she won't even make eye contact with me. She actually speaks, staring at a table like this, staring straight ahead. I'm sitting down there because she won't make eye contact. That's how whack these people are. And we're pretending that we can go before these courts and get a functional deal, get something to work out. It never is going to happen. We better realize it. Yeah. Now, Tim's mad because we didn't do more, I know, and I am too. But I'm just telling you, if you think that it's not progress, if you think we didn't make progress, then you don't know how these things work, in my opinion. So this is progress, and we need more. I just can tell you, Democrats winning in the fall here is not going to be progress. I agree, but I think the issue is Republicans don't know how to play the game to ensure that they win. I agree. You've got what appears to be a. You know, I'll play this. You're playing Monopoly. You are watching them pull cash from the bank while they stare you in the eyes and do it, and you're going, "Well, but I can't do that." I got a better one. Well, you're going to lose. I got a better one. It's like the Geneva Convention, the rules of engagement are, they get to be armed and we have to pull. We have to put down our arms and let them shoot us in the head. And then we're like, "Wow." And they say, "But you must abide by the Geneva Convention. You must abide by the Geneva Convention. This is important. These are the rules. These are the rules. A grand jury says secrecy." Jack Smith leaks on the grand jury the whole time, and no one is indicted. He's never indicted. His people are indicted. We talk about the grand jury, and they're like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa." The judges are like, "This is. " So I'm with you. I'm with you when you say it, and the question is- And so it's real simple. Nick Fuentes is going to be president. Because he's the guy saying, "Burn the GOP to the ground for this reason," because he's the guy who's arguing that when you get into office, you don't play by the rules. You go to war. And the Republicans right now are saying, "Slow down there, Democrats." Well, not all of them, but I mean, here's the problem with that. You can wish that you could burn down the Republican Party, but you got to have a vehicle. You got to pick a team, and you got to make the team better. And when I say finish the job, what I mean by finish the job is the Republican Party has to become completely now. The America first MAGA party. And that has to happen.
