Main Theme & Purpose

This episode dives into Donald Trump’s sweeping executive order aimed at limiting mail-in voting by requiring the DHS to create a verified citizen voter list—a significant escalation in the ongoing battle over U.S. election security and procedure. The discussion then branches into related political battles (birthright citizenship, culture wars, and the state of the American right), before taking on the fragmentation of contemporary American culture and the generational shift affecting everything from music to the family structure.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trump’s Executive Order on Mail-in Voting

[00:00–07:18]

• Trump’s Move: Trump signs an executive order restricting mail-in voting, instructing DHS to compile a verified list of US citizens eligible to vote—a workaround after Congress failed to pass the SAVE Act.
  • “Without it, Republicans are cooked…If Trump wins this fight, oh, it’s over. Because as we all know, when it comes to elections, procedure is more important than popularity.” (A/Tim Pool, 00:52)
• Legal Challenge Anticipated: Panel agrees the order’s legality is questionable and likely to be challenged, but timing may let it impact the midterms.
• Strategic Timing: Discussion about political and legal strategy to push the order through so that by the time the courts rule, the election may already be underway.
• Mail-in Voting as an Issue of Public Sentiment: Most Americans, across parties, support ID requirements for voting—a “court of public opinion” win for Trump.
  • “This is a massive win in terms of the court of public opinion, because…this is a massively popular position among both Republicans, Democrats and independents across the country.” (B/Priya Patel, 07:34)

2. Executive Power and Political Procedure

[07:18–10:43]

• Bulldozing Policy: Panelists compare Trump’s strategy to “plowing through” injunctions, likening him to Robert Moses: pushing the policy through quickly and daring courts to stop him after the fact.
  • “No matter what any local opposition was…he would just plow through…because now, when the courts have finally weighed in…it’s already done.” (D/Tate Brown, 10:06)
• Mandate for Action: Supporters want Trump to use maximum executive power, leave challenges to courts, and act decisively in accordance with his electoral mandate.
• Political Fragmentation and AI Slot Posts: Growing use of alleged AI-generated divisive posts targeting prominent independent and right-wing media—seen as attempts to fracture the “MAGA” base and discredit independent voices.

3. Supreme Court & Birthright Citizenship

[54:27–58:06]

• Upcoming Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Focus on constitutionality and intent behind birthright citizenship—whether anyone born on U.S. soil should be a citizen, especially in the context of “birth tourism.”
  • “The Supreme Court may, once and for all, end the insane practice of people coming here on vacation, having a kid, and then leaving? And that kid can…run for president. That doesn’t make sense.” (A/Tim Pool, 00:38)
• Consensus: Most agree that the 14th Amendment was not intended for modern birthright citizenship, particularly with today’s ease of international travel.

4. American Frontier, Conquest, and Demographics

[57:17–66:48]

• Changing Notions of Frontier: Historical need for birthright citizenship to drive settlement; no longer relevant as the U.S. has no “frontier” left to settle.
• Cultural Conquest vs. Squatting: Spirited debate over whether new immigrant populations are “conquistadors” or simply “squatters”; sharp distinction between embracing American values and simply exploiting the system.
  • “I'm a big fan of immigration…They gotta come here legally, though…If they don’t, it’s…I don’t see it as any different than Hernan Cortez, honestly.” (A/Tim Pool, 65:01)
• Political Paralysis: Even when public support exists for restricting migration, procedural and cultural shifts (and split voting populations) prevent decisive government action.

5. Culture & Generational Shifts

[90:00–104:10+]

• Music & Cultural Stagnation: Exploration of why 90s/2000s music continues to dominate cultural references—even as platforms refuse to place rock in modern algorithmic rotations.
  • “All of the songs from when I grew up…affect the boomers, Gen X, and Millennials. Gen Z artists will not resonate with Millennials the way that millennial artists will…For the first time in the past 100 or 200 years, culture is stagnating intentionally because there’s not enough individuals in the younger market to buy into new culture.” (A/Tim Pool, 92:41)
• Algorithmic Suppression: Panelists speculate, sometimes conspiratorially, that American/white/rock music is being sidelined in favor of diversity initiatives.
  • “They’re intentionally trying to shut out the arts that Americans traditionally created…it’s not a conspiracy…they admit…we’re prioritizing these artists over mainstream.” (D/Tate Brown, 100:19)
• Anachronistic Nostalgia: Gen Z’s longing for eras they never experienced (the 90s) as a symptom of wider disillusionment and cultural detachment.

6. Social Malaise, Family Decline, Therapy

[77:06–86:00+]

• Rise in Depression: Panel links widespread malaise to declining rates of family formation, excessive individualism, Internet addiction, and erosion of meaning for young men.
  • “Every avenue for a young man that would typically be there, that would allow them to do great things, has been completely shut off…Men are especially miserable and just tap out.” (D/Tate Brown, 81:15)
• Therapy Critique:
  • “I think therapy is a scam…They develop a dependency on this social affirmation.” (A/Tim Pool, 77:06)
• Desperate Search for Family: Young people’s increased (sometimes desperate) pursuit of family/relationships and how that scarcity mentality leads to poor outcomes.

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

This episode is a fast-moving, no-holds-barred analysis of the latest maneuvers in US election law, deeply skeptical of establishment narratives, and acerbically critical of both major parties and media. While it centers on Trump’s executive actions and the legal/cultural responses, it’s equally invested in diagnosing America’s wider sense of malaise—from demographic shifts to faded cultural consensus—ending with a lament for the lost vitality of community, family, and creative innovation. It’s an episode emblematic of Timcast IRL’s blend of independent, sharp, sometimes conspiratorial, sometimes tongue-in-cheek commentary.

Transcript

[A]

The madman has done it. Donald Trump signed an executive order limiting mail in voting, requiring DHS to round up documents on who is a US Citizen eligible to vote. It's kind of a workaround, the SAVE Act. You can see that he's targeting this system because they're not passing the SAVE Act. And without it, Republicans are cooked. They really do need this. I think a lot of Americans really do want it. And the strangest thing is, despite it being one of the most popular bills, like literally, of literally of all time, Democrats and Republicans will not pass this thing. Now, Donald Trump. I'm just going to. I just got to say it. He does not have the authority as president to just decree you can't have this mail in voting, and that only citizens can vote, despite it being common sense, I guess. So it's likely going to be challenged. But this is the first move Trump is making to Checkmate. Well, not the first move, but right now it is a major move he is making in this Save act play to checkmate the Democrats. We can look at all the prediction data, all the polling. Sure, it looks like people are not happy with the war, but if Trump wins this fight, oh, it's over. Because as we all know, when it comes to elections, procedure is more important than popularity. And then, of course, my friends, Donald Trump will be attending the Supreme Court hearings on birthright citizenship tomorrow. That's big news. So Supreme Court may, once and for all end the insane practice of people coming here on vacation, having a kid, and then leaving? And that kid can be president. It can run for president. That doesn't make sense. They just come and then they're citizens and they leave. Yeah, none of that. So we'll talk about that and a lot more before we get started, my friends.

[B]

Hi guys. Thanks for having me.

[A]

Who are you? Yeah, what do you do?

[B]

My name is Priya Patel. I am a political commentator. I suppose you can find me on pretty much all the platforms. Aside from only fans which I think I got called out for, not excluding last time.

[A]

Oh, well that's good that you're not on that platform.

[B]

Definitely.

[A]

Of all the platforms. Lauran should be fun. Thanks for hanging out. And then of course the boys are here. Tate Brown, we got Carter Banks producing and Phil Labonte.

[C]

What's up baby?

[D]

The only fans I might join. I'm not sure yet. Trying to gauge interest.

[A]

Well, I, you know, you do have feet and people like feet.

[D]

True.

[A]

Considering that Kristy Gnomes story which we're going to get into. Hey, yikes. Maybe there's, there are people for you. Yeah, that's another story. We'll talk about Christy Gnomes husband wanting to be a bimbo. Is that what it is? He wants to be a bimbo?

[D]

You know,

[A]

is that what it was? Because at first when I read that story, it's like he was into bimbos. That's what I thought it was. Or like he wanted women to be bimbos. But then there's a quote where he like, he said, call me your girl or call me a girl or something like that. Wearing, like fake breasts in the picture. Or is that just me? Well, we'll get into that story. We'll start with like, the big news. It's funny because we're getting the show started. We're like, is that the big news? It's like, it's just.

[B]

They're big boobs. Big news. Big boobs.

[A]

Big boobs. Okay. Anyway, here's a story. What is it?

[C]

What is it? It was impossibly fat milkers, right?

[A]

Yes. All right, here we go from cnbc. Trump signs executive order limiting mail in voting ahead of 2026 US elections. They say President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order cracking down on mail in voting. The order will require DHS to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote. It's almost certain to be challenged in court, which could block it from being enforced in time for the midterms quote. We want to have honest voting in our country because if you don't have honest voting, you can't have really a nation, if you want to know the truth. I love how he just adds that. We call those wasted words. I'm not trying to be a dick, but we call those weight. You don't need to say that. The list would be sent to each state and the order directs the attorney general to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of election officials, individuals and other entities that violence violate the law by issuing a or distributing federal ballots to ineligible voters. The fact sheet says the postal service would be required to transmit ballots only to individuals enrolled on a state specific mail in absentee participation list. This is where it gets interesting. He does have that authority. He can tell the post office if you send mail in votes to people who are not eligible to vote, you will be held to account for this. This is the workaround to the SAVE Act. If they're not going to pass the SAVE act, this is the Trump gambit for now. Certainly they will challenge him in court, but I actually think he might win enough to where they can't stop him in time for November.

[D]

It's tough because, I mean, it's one of those things where with all these, you know, with all these orders, I mean, it's Stephen Miller's cooking these up somewhere in a dark room, hopefully. Dark room? Yeah, dark room.

[A]

That's the basement.

[D]

Yeah. It's all you operate, you know, you got to focus. You got to Lock in. So he's probably gamed this out, gamed out the strategy that now is the time to sign this because this could buy us enough time for November to actually deploy it. And then because the save acts not going to pass, I think something to get us across the finish line.

[A]

He timed it specifically for how long it will take to be sued, then appealed and then get to a federal court. And I think the strategy is they want to get an injunction or they want to overturn any injunctions just before the election happens. So I do think this is part of their strategy. Trump issues this executive order. Democrats know this is going to be bad for them. They're going to file a suit which could take a month or two. Then it's going to go to court, which takes a month or two. Then there's. So then it'll get, they'll put an injunction on it and then court for a month or two. And then a month and that, you know, then they're going to get the injunction overturned, which will be appealed to the Supreme Court or a higher court. But by then the election is underway.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Well, at the very worst, it's like a, just the whole point of it is to be able to withhold federal funding for states. So it's like you just withhold funding for a few months. They've already missed out on that money, the money that they would allocate towards, you know, holes in their budget and that sort of thing. So even if they eventually get it overturned at the Supreme Court.

[B]

Well, I also, I also think this is a massive win in terms of the court of public opinion, because like we pointed out before, this is a massively popular position among both Republicans, Democrats and independents across the country.

[C]

Id for voting, Right?

[B]

Yeah. And I mean, mail in ballots are obviously a massive loophole for that specifically. So, I mean, I think, I think overall this is going to bode well in terms of how the people are going to see it.

[C]

I think that the administration kind of needs a win at this point. There's a lot of people that are pretty negative going into the, you know, into the midterm season. And I think that the more that the administration can do to limit the, the any kind of fraudulent votes or anything, I think that is something that will, it's not gonna make the, the black pillars happy, but it will help placate them. Look, if you can get people that are, that are low propensity voters to actually turn out, you know, then you might, the Republicans might have a chance of keeping the Senate. I don't think the Republicans are gonna keep the Senate right now. I know that they still, they still kind of. I think they have the edge in the betting markets or the, the prediction markets or what have you, but I don't think that they will. I think that the only way, and I've said this a bunch of times, the only way that the Republicans will keep the Senate and have a chance of keeping the House, this isn't to say they will, but have a chance of keeping the House is if the economy is doing well. And I think that if the things that are going on in the Middle east pan out properly the way that the administration wants them to, you could see a boost in the economic activity in the US and you could see a situation where, you know, people are actually feeling better about their own personal situations, which would make them more inclined to go out and vote for the current administration. I. Republicans, I don't. I don't think that's going to happen. I don't. I'm not making a prediction here. I'm just saying the conditions that are necessary for that to happen.

[A]

I don't. I don't. I wouldn't be surprised if, as we get closer to the midterms, Trump fires off several executive orders which are increasingly, increasingly. What's the right word? I don't know what the right word is for it, but powerful, perhaps meaning more impactful. Like right now, this is a big deal. He's telling the post office, you can't transmit these ballots. He's saying, you gotta collect information on who's eligible. I wouldn't be surprised if, as we get closer to the election, he says outright, like, okay, no mail in voting at all. And he sends in feds to certain areas if the Democrats win. And all prediction markets, everything is tracking for Trump to lose this, for the Republicans to lose this. Trump's cooked. Yeah, it's over.

[D]

Well, I think it's one of those. I think there's two things here. I think one, Stephen Edgington made this point on Twitter today where he said, it's kind of the Robert Moses strategy. A city planner in New York City, where no matter what any local opposition was, what any court said, he would just plow through different blocks in the city. Because it's like now, when the courts have finally weighed in. It doesn't matter. I've already torn down the block. I've already built what I wanted to build. It's kind of the same idea with what Trump's doing is like, yes, if I can just plow this through, plow my policy through before the courts can even react. What are you going to do? It's already done. Like, it's the whole deal with the ballroom. They just issued an injunction on the ballroom. It's already torn down. We're already building it. Like, what are you going to do?

[C]

And that's what people want. I really think that the people that are like, yo, we expected more out of Donald Trump.

[A]

They want.

[C]

Want to see him pushing things through. He had a mandate for his agenda. He won the popular vote. He won all the swing states. The American people liked what he campaigned on, and he should be doing as much as he can to push through his agenda. Obviously, Congress, the Republicans in Congress should be doing whatever they can to support that because of the fact that he did win the popular vote and he won the swing states and it was such a landmark kind of election, but still, he should be doing everything he can, exercising as much power as he can, and let the courts, you know, throw injunctions at him, let them do whatever they can, but he should still be moving forward at the maximum pace that he possibly can, because that's the only thing that's gonna make the people that are his base happy.

[B]

Yeah, well, that's exactly what he was elected to do. He was elected to be an outsider, to essentially be a bulldozer to the system, to clean out the swamp and get the agendas actually pushed forward that the American people want. But Congress is, you know, to.

[A]

I mean, we've been. We've been. I remember every single night in 2024, we were looking. I would look into the camera, I'd say, trump, please bomb Iran. You know, it's the only thing I ever wanted. No, there's like, there are these funny posts there. There's like, the fifth. Something weird is going on. They put it like this. Something weird is going on because there have been these incessant AI slot posts that say the exact same things. They go, I've had it with Tucker Carlson. I've had it with Candace Owens. I've had it with the Hodge twins. I've had it with Tim Cast. I've had. And I'm like, whoa, me? But, but, no, but seriously, I think these are AI slot posts from generic accounts or it's coordinated. And I think the general idea is, like, a lot of the replies are, why is Tim Cast being lumped up in with these people? Because the idea is just to disenfranchise the Trump base. So naturally, you already have Tucker, Candace, and A handful of people that are critical of Trump, particularly over the Iran war. Dave Smith's out the door. Right. But we're, you know, fairly middle of the road here at Tim Cast because we're moderate individuals. Right. Didn't vote for the war, don't want it, but certainly don't want America to lose. Want to make sure that Trump finds a proper path out of this one. And I know that there will be great benefits if he succeeds. But the. It seems like it's obvious the midterms are coming and every dirty play is going to be played. So what is accomplished by creating these divisive MAGA posts? Well, there's prominent Trump supporters who are responding, being like, here, here. Yeah, screw those people. You throw in me and Jack Posobic on that list in an effort to get us inundated with tweets being like, screw, you're not maga.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The idea I often bring, I often bring up is if you don't offer someone a path forward, they'll take the other direction. So if someone does something wrong and your immediate reaction is f you burn, they'll immediately go to the other side because they have nowhere else to go. Me, I have a bit more mental fortitude than that. But this, what the operation seems to be, the coordination seems to be attack as many people as possible that do support Trump. So it appears as though the Trump base is attacking you, and then you start pushing back. You have a. It's a Chinese finger trap problem. You react negatively, then these people will start attacking Trump supporters and you fracture the Trump base.

[B]

I think it's also to essentially erode the opinions of the people that actually listen to you too. I mean, if they think that you're lumped in with these group of people, they're just going to start eventually, assuming that you also hold the same opinions that they do. And in reality, it's not the case.

[A]

Indeed. Or to basically generate algorithmic feeds where people who might follow this account are now going to have my name and Jack Posopic as well, who is very pro Trump, being lumped in with Candace Owens, as if we hold similar opinions at all, which we don't, and then their algorithms will be built upon. They'll start seeing more and more of this AI slop that just what are they going to do? They're going to see the 18th post where it's like, can you believe what Tim Pool is doing, what Jack Bassopic is doing? And then they're going to be like, wow. And then they're Going to. I don't know where they're going to go, but it's fracturing Maga intentionally, it would seem.

[B]

Yeah, I completely agree.

[D]

Yeah, I think there's, I think there's a contingent of the political broadly right wing sphere that wants to see you and wants to see Jack Posobic lumped in with the panic in class, for lack of a better word.

[A]

Anakin's.

[D]

Well, because, because on the retard.

[A]

Right.

[D]

The retard, right. Yeah. I mean it just like whatever you want to call it because I think you and Jack specifically diverge on a few political points from kind of the rest of the right wing commentariat. That's really inconvenient for a chunk of again, the right wing broadly. And they want to see you guys ejected and viewed, you know, in the same way as like Candace or as, you know, I.

[A]

Here's what I think. As I've long stated, my friends, the play is to eliminate independent media. Take a look at the money being dumped into these moderate Democrat candidates trying to kick out the progressives. Take a look at the move they. I'll tell you why my name appears on this list because I correctly called out the Stephen Colbert hoax with James Talarico attacking Jasmine Crockett. Despite not liking Jasmine Crockett. The machine state is saying we want to eliminate these independent voices. So I've long argued that, you know, like Candace and Tucker, they're less, less so Tucker, but still to a certain degree, he's in a similar political space. They're Pied Pipers. You start generating a bunch of content that will keep you more on the fringes. And then after, you know, the way we described it we were in Austin is that they open, you know, the way Luke described it, Luka Koski, they opened a door and said, everybody come into this room of great free speech. Inside the room, everyone's screaming Israel. And then after the midterms, they slam the door shut and you guys are locked out of the main ballroom. That's the idea. I think the play is they're going to target any voice that is independent or outside their control. And of course that includes people like Tucker, but it also includes people like Jack Posobic or me. And then the play is going to be, you turn on Netflix, you turn on cbs, you turn on, you know, our Paramount or whatever. And there are the approved podcasts.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I think it's also too. It's like broadly independent media on the right is trained to be intentionally contrarian because like independent Media really got its teeth during the Biden years during, like, the Biden winter. And so they basically trained the audience

[A]

to say four years were called the Biden winter.

[D]

Yeah, the Biden winter. It was a horrible time. And it's like. Because they basically train the audience for four years, like, any government action is bad. Any government action is bad. You should be inherently skeptical of any executive power. And likewise, the Republicans are exceptionally weak. The Republicans will always backstab you, etcetera, and whatnot. They basically trained an audience, primed audience to be skeptical of any political power whatsoever. So as soon as Trump gets in, not perfect. Iran war, I would say at this point, is an link still 80% of things. Best president of my lifetime by far. People are just, like, willing to freak out and panic and Kirsten husband themselves because they're just, like, losing their minds. And I think part of it is because the commentary primed them for this. The commentary, it primed them to be constantly skeptical. They almost, like, fetishize being backstabbed and betrayed. They're like, oh, Trump betrayed me again.

[A]

Oh, man.

[D]

It's like, into it.

[A]

It's like.

[B]

I think it's also really difficult because for. For the common viewer, the news cycle now moves faster than it ever has before. So it's really easy for people to forget the actual wins that we have had under the Trump administration. Like, it's very easy to get focused on Iran when it's happening in the moment, but it's really easy to forget all of the, you know, all the deportations and all of the other wins that we've had under the administration so far.

[A]

Well, I think there's only one explanation, and it's that the people who are in control, the powerful people, the Abstein island people, they're lizards. They're all actually lizards, and they're in on it, and they're just like, you know, if you're not one of us, a lizard person, then you can't hang out.

[B]

That's 2C.

[A]

That proves it.

[D]

Dude, I'm trying to get some scales on me. Serious.

[A]

Oh, you're a monkey person. You know, the lizards. Well, he's white, so I'm allowed to say it.

[B]

That's fair.

[A]

Mostly there's lizard people and there's monkey people.

[B]

It.

[A]

You know, Scottish did invent fried chicken.

[D]

We invented. Yeah. A lot of things.

[A]

I say chicken tick.

[D]

I say we like American person. Yeah.

[C]

Red hair.

[A]

You're not.

[D]

No, it's true.

[A]

Just don't. Don't say little. Say we.

[D]

I know. Well, I'M like, everybody else is like, you know, like Myra Flores are all advocating for their home nation. Why can't I start, like, advocating for Scotland? Like, call it, like, Scott Pack. And then we just start, like, you know, funneling money. Adrian's wall rebuilt, you know, it's gonna be a beautiful thing.

[A]

Aspac.

[D]

Aspac.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that's American Scotland Political Action Committee.

[D]

Aspac.

[A]

Aspac.

[B]

Hey,

[D]

that was a great.

[A]

I'm. I'm actually into ajpac. American, Japanese Political Action Committee.

[D]

I'm big on that. I'm big on that. I think I'm long 51st state. Did you see that one Japanese guy? The Japanese, he poured Pop Rocks into yogurt, and then he was like, I just made popping yogurt. It's just gem after gem after gem, Brother.

[A]

Innovators, man.

[D]

I know. And, like, change the game. Yeah. And, like, we kind of woke each other up. We'll do Pearl Harbor. Whoa, whoa. And then we'll do a couple nukes. Whoa. Like, we're helping wake them up, jostle them a little.

[A]

You know, I. I think Japan should be the 51st state.

[C]

I'm not into adding states personally, but.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no, it's good, because they'll all vote Republican.

[C]

If we can trade California, no offense, we'll forge.

[A]

But can we. Can we swap them physically?

[C]

Physically, yeah.

[A]

That's it. That's. I would also accept a mass migration of all peoples. You know, so we get every Californian on a boat and every Japanese person on a boat, and they switch.

[D]

Could be interesting.

[A]

And then that's how you get San Fran.

[D]

Japanese here. This is like the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals.

[B]

Well, but. But the California government would leave, too.

[D]

It would be like a Taiwan situation. They're in exile. And then we put the Japanese, install them as the real leaders, but they wouldn't be on an island anymore.

[A]

I actually think Japan is much larger than California, so.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

California.

[D]

Yeah. Japan's really big, actually, when you put

[A]

it like this, it's like the size

[D]

of from Maine to Florida.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

We're. We're already overpopulated as it is, so we don't know.

[A]

But if we get rid of the Californians, we're good.

[C]

I'm. I'm. I'm with Priya. There's a lot of people in California

[D]

tired of these California.

[A]

I'm not taking a risk. Every one of them, everyone. We're going to build a wall around California.

[B]

I thought we were friends, Tim.

[A]

Oh, you're there.

[B]

You're in California, unfortunately.

[A]

Okay, there's the door. If you're in California, we just. We're going to build the wall like Trump. Not our fault.

[D]

California is like the, like, it's like the most beautiful state. They're just holding it hostage, like, we need to know we're going to trade places. And I can say it. Look at somewhere like Indiana I grew up in, I'm comfortable saying, like, you know, if we, you know, let's do a little trade here. All California Communists, you know, put all

[A]

the Californians in Indiana. Yeah, yeah. But like, you ever. You ever hear the thing that if you see a roach, you're not supposed to smash it because it splatters the eggs everywhere? Yeah, yeah. If you put all the Californians in Indiana, it'd be like that.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Around it.

[A]

What?

[C]

Put them in the ocean.

[B]

You could just land, lock them.

[A]

Get a big boat, put all Californians on it and then sink it.

[C]

Large boats.

[D]

We're just like, does that count? California guy.

[A]

But California is not an ethnicity. So is that genocide or is that getting close? Hold on, hold on.

[C]

It's spring cleaning. Tim Springs.

[A]

What would the word be for killing everyone in a single state that, you know, is there a word for that?

[D]

You just put civic cleanse.

[A]

Yeah, well, no, no. Like, there's regicide, like responsible governance, wiping out California. Hey, guys, I want to talk about this first. We're going to go back to the birthright citizenship thing, but they're launching a manned mission to the moon on April Fool's Day. Are they doing that on purpose?

[C]

Well, no, they're not going to launch. They're talking about it then. It's not going to happen because this, I think, is the second time that they've. They've. I was going to window.

[A]

They're going to be like, psycho bro. I was watching Fox News and they called it the Artemis.

[C]

Oh, God.

[A]

I was like, I was sitting there on the couch, like my eyes half glazed over, and it was like Martha MacCallum or something. She was like, NASA's Artemis 2 mission will be tomorrow. I was like, what?

[C]

How do you listen?

[D]

I got this Artemis in my mind.

[A]

Horrible Artemis. The Artemis 2 mission will take an astronaut crew around the moon. A space policy expert described the long road to launch. You know what I love about this? There's only one reason they're doing it. It's because too many people believe we never went to the moon. So Trump's like, can we just go? And they're like, it's really expensive to land on the moon and come back. Well, what if we just loop around it? Is that good enough? That should be good enough. NASA's just.

[C]

NASA's just bummed that space as Space X is making them look so bad.

[A]

Maybe.

[B]

Probably, yeah.

[A]

I think this actually has more to do with the building the moon base. So the idea is they want to do a. They want to do a once over with new. So actually this is the truth. They've got new instruments and new technology to scan the surface, understand, you know, the appropriate places for a potential moon base. And they're going to loop around and scan basically everything so that they can make terminations on a moon base. And they said they're going to see parts of the moon that have never been seen before.

[B]

Interesting. Wasn't there, isn't there another mission? Not actually landing again, but another kind of test mission, testing out the new equipment that they have? That's.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

There hasn't been yet.

[B]

It's coming like a year after this current one.

[D]

Well, they're scrapping. They were supposed to do like ISS2 basically, and we're actually scrapping that and instead doing a man mission.

[B]

Okay, got it, Got it. Maybe that's it, bro.

[A]

This is going to be brutal. It's like a week, I think. What is it, like four days to get to the moon?

[C]

It's a couple days to get to

[A]

the moon and then they're going to wrap around it, which takes a day and then four days back.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Have you ever wanted to be.

[D]

And then the carplay is acting up and you're like, no, no. The worst.

[B]

The whole time.

[A]

Oh, it sucks.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Is wild and beef jerky. I mean the only, the only, the only actual comfort these guys have is that, you know, if there is some kind of failure, then the soundstage will just open up the door and let them out and they'll can use, they can use the bathroom and get back in and start filming again.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. In Arizona they have another like a union strike in LA again with the Screenwriters Guild. And they're just like, sorry guys, Moon missions off.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, this is the crazy thing about the moon denial stuff though, is that everybody's like, how did they deal with the radiation? And I'm kind of like, they didn't like, I don't know. It's kind of an easy explanation. The government let these people get fried.

[D]

Yeah. And they're launching dogs into space like all the time for no reason.

[A]

Do you guys know about the family that died in the Nuclear blast test. Like the little kids were playing by the river or whatever when a nuke went off. You ever hear the story? No, let me pull that story up.

[B]

But I love that people still nowadays are shocked that the government's like, yeah, yeah, matter.

[D]

They launched a monkey.

[B]

They die, they die.

[A]

I know.

[D]

They launched a monkey into space and they're like, oh, they found windows.

[C]

That was the biggest reason to hate the Soviet Union is they literally just sent that dog.

[A]

Yeah, here you go. Yeah, check this out, check this out. Blah, blah, blah. 5:30, July 16, 1945. Thirteen year old Barba Kent was camp on a camping trip with her dance teacher and 11 students when a forceful blast threw her at her bunk bed onto the floor. Later that day, the girls noticed what they believe was snow falling outside. Surprised and excited, they started running out dancing outside to play. We all thought, oh my gosh, it's snowing, yet it was warm. We put out our hands and we're rubbing it on our faces and having a good time trying to catch what we thought was snow. Years later, they learned it was actually radioactive fallout from the first nuclear test explosion. Only 12 of the 12 girls that attended the camp, she is the only living survivor. The other 11 died from various cancers, as did the camp dance teacher and Kent's mother, who was staying nearby. Diagnosed with four different types of cancer herself. Kent is one of the many people in New Mexico unknowingly exposed to fallout. So they're known as the downwinders. And it's funny because like people go, but there's so much radiation, you'll die. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not sure the government cares.

[B]

No, they don't care. I feel like that's pretty evident.

[D]

Yeah, we, we only dropped it like we, it was more than 3 miles away from the metropolitan area. I don't know what the big deal is. Are you guys like crying about it?

[A]

They're just like, but, but I think the argument they're saying is there's so much radiation you would just die.

[B]

You just explode, Explode.

[A]

But apparently the astronauts on the Apollo mission said that they saw sparkles in their eyes.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, that's being blasted by ionizing radiation.

[C]

I mean, that's true, but like Buzz Aldrin lived to be, you know, very old man before he passed away. He was like in his 90s, I think when he passed away. So I mean, you know, it's, it's not, it's probably not great. But at the same time, I don't think that radiation exposure is actually so bad that you're gonna get cancer when you come back, you know, 10 years later.

[D]

They had big suits on too, right? I don't think that those are help out.

[C]

No, I think they're big suits like that because they're pressurized, not because they're going to defend and to keep them warm, I think. Well, yeah, I mean it's. It's cold.

[A]

Yeah. It says it's. Let's see. Satellites in orbit get around 25sieverts per year with thin shielding. And 5sievert is often decided as around half a lethal dose for humans. So spending a couple days moving through it is not actually that much. But I don't know. Look, all I know is I did a Google search and I'm reading what it says, but there are people like, how'd they get through that? And I'm just like, do you think the government cares about individuals? Because I kind of feel like, you know, kind of, but not really.

[D]

Yeah, and there's like what you're going to tell Neil Armstrong, like, hey, you'll be cemented in history forever. The first man to walk on the moon, but you might get cancer at some point in the next 50 years. He's like, yeah, I probably. Anyway, I eat McDonald's.

[C]

Yeah. Actually, Buzz Aldrin is currently as.

[A]

He's eating a burger. What? Cancel.

[C]

Aldrin is currently alive. He's 96 years old and he was the second man to walk on the moon.

[A]

Well, but to be fair, that's only because the cosmic radiation gave him superpowers.

[C]

He's actually one of the members of the Fantastic.

[B]

According to a lot of the Internet. That's actually because he never went to the moon.

[C]

I hate the Internet.

[A]

He punched that guy. Remember that? Was that what happened?

[D]

Oh, that was based. Yeah.

[A]

Also okay, guys, like you never went to the moon. He went boom.

[D]

Also like the third guy, we don't know his name because he got put in the cosmic tuck chair and had to watch the other. They left him up there and spun around watching him trot and golf on the moon and stuff. He's just stuck up there pissed.

[A]

I don't know. He got. He got to. He got to DJ the CarPlay though. So.

[D]

Yeah, he was the driver.

[A]

Look, you need this the fifth time you've played Nookie by Limp Biscuit Bro, you got to stop playing nookie. No, this is my thing. You get the golf, I get nookie.

[C]

Someone has to be the designated driver. You know, that was his job.

[D]

Sloshed on the.

[C]

On the.

[A]

Partying.

[C]

Getting hammered.

[D]

Probably getting really hammered.

[B]

Nine or eight.

[A]

There was. There was a crazy story where. I can't remember who it was. Who's. Who's that guy who went to space on the ISS and played the guitar, and everyone loved him. Apparently, he was doing a spacewalk, and he's in the pressurized suit. You can't touch your face. And something got in his eye, so his eye started tearing up, forming a giant ball of water, tears over his eye. You can't. You can't do anything about it, so he can't see. It's just like the tears go bloop around your eye. Yeah. Wild.

[D]

I feel like. Like I'm just a little different. I think I could mitigate that. Like, I feel like I could just flick and I'd be fine.

[A]

Oh, I know you've never been to space nor trained for it, but you're certainly better than he is.

[D]

Yeah. Like, I just feel like that just seems like an issue. Like, you know, like. Like a normie would have. Like. I think I'm a little, like, norm. Do like, a little wing, you know, bang, flip it up, and then, like, lubricate the eye real quick.

[B]

You just.

[A]

No, it's really easy to go. You go like this

[D]

little swig.

[B]

You just slurp it up.

[A]

I don't know.

[D]

It just seems like, like. Like a. Kind of a gay issue to, like. Let's be honest. Seriously.

[A]

Oh, you're crying in space.

[D]

Dork. The Earth, it's so beautiful. It's like a big marble. Seriously. Cornball.

[B]

Cornball.

[A]

Yeah. Astronauts are so dumb. Well, why are they so great, huh?

[D]

Yeah, that's right. Tate, what was. It was, like, an actor. He's like. It was just crazy, like, seeing 7 billion lives. And I'm looking down at it, and I'm watching them all happening at the time. Same. Same time. I was like, dude, sounds like, relax. Just cornball city. I mean, unbelievable.

[A]

And someone should say to him, I'm gonna ruin it for everybody. They. What do they call it? There's, like, an exper. There's a name for it when you're in space and you look down, you see the Earth, and then people have this profound experience of, like, everything is just right there.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And it's. It's very profound thinking about, you know, 7 billion people living their lives. But I can ruin it for you by reminding you that half of them are taking a dump right now, just all over the place. And then you go, oh, it's like, you're that's right.

[D]

Right.

[A]

Like, everybody likes a dog. They're very cute and they're slobbering and laughing, and then it dumps on your floor and you're pissed off.

[D]

I mean, yeah. And there's.

[A]

So let me put it this. Luke and I went to the dog cafe. What? A dog cafe in South Korea, because they had cafe. Well, it's like, it tasted great.

[D]

It's the menu.

[A]

Yeah. No, they. Dogs just run around and so you go and you order coffee or a drink and you sit down and then the dogs just go crazy. Now, in the mind of the average person, you're imagining like a golden retriever comes up to you all happy, and you pet him and he's like. And then you're like, oh, this is great. That's not at all what it's like. They run in and start running around full speed, and they jump up on the table and try biting yourself and you're pushing them away and then they take a dump right there on the floor. This is not an exaggeration. Exactly what I was picturing.

[C]

Dogs with the zoomies running through the

[A]

raccoon cafes are fun because those pudgy little fat things just sit there and reach out and go like this. And then you hand them a nut.

[D]

They, like, feel almost everything through their hands. They, like, spurg out, like, if you look on your back porch when they're out there, they're like rearranging your furniture,

[B]

doing some feng shui.

[D]

Yeah, I know.

[A]

I'm like, have you ever seen the. The video where Cuz. So raccoons in Russian, I think. I think it's Russian. They're called washing bears because when you give them food, they wash the food before eating it.

[D]

I know. Yeah.

[A]

And so they gave candy. They gave it cotton candy. And it takes. It puts in the water and it goes.

[C]

Disappears.

[B]

Freaking out, like, where'd my food go?

[A]

Just going. So imagine like some aliens come to Earth and they give someone like a delicious filet mignon. And he's like, oh, thank God. He's like, in a desert. He's like, I was so hungry, I'm dying in a bottle of water. And then he grabs a bottle of water and it's gone. And he grabs, like, it disappears. It's like, like, that's what the raccoon is like.

[D]

They're hungry.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

They live in the wild. They don't have a constant supply of food. And they're like, it's going to be funny. Watch the candy. Cotton candy's going to vanish.

[C]

Poor.

[A]

It's so funny. I'll say one more thing, just because we're on the topic of space, right? You guys ever see the thing where they put the fake bird on the rock and then the real. There's, like, a bunch of fake birds and the one real bird came.

[B]

No.

[A]

You know what I'm talking about?

[B]

No.

[A]

So they were trying to attract a thing in New Zealand, like some kind of bird. So they put a bunch of fake ones, hoping that the real ones will start settling there. But only one real one came. And then it tried Mackinon, one of the fake ones. And so it just lived there by itself, surrounded by a bunch of mannequins, having no idea that these birds were just wooden pegs.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I like to think that aliens do that to us. Like, you'll be out in the street, and you'll see, like, a hot chick, and you'll be like, what's going on? And you'll be like, hey. And the aliens, like, you're just talking to a mannequin.

[D]

Yeah. Like, you know, happened to Manta Tao.

[A]

Who?

[C]

Oh, I. I got that.

[D]

Everyone in the crowd will love that one. Anti. Teo. He got catfish. He was like a star linebacker. But you have to explain it. But it's like, I think.

[A]

So here's what I think happened. I think the aliens. This is a joke, by the way. I think the aliens came to Earth and, like, their ship crashed, and then the humans started messing around with it. So then the aliens basically are like, you know, we. We only did, like, light reconnaissance on this planet, but now they got access to our technology, so we have no choice but to, like, come down. So the aliens come down, and they go to the present, and they're like, look, you can't have this technology, okay? It's too advanced. And they were like, well, I think we should. And they're like, oh, my God. Okay, well, here's what I do. We're going to give you cell phones. Okay. We're going to give you communications. Your communications technology is going to rapidly progress. That way, we can catfish you guys.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And the President was like, what do we get? We'll give you, I don't know, a rail gun. Okay. All right, Great. Rail guns. And now the reason why we have all these dating apps is because the aliens want to basically, like, do research on our dating habits. And so they can catfish you.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And you're, like, sitting there going like, ha. You're so hot. And it's an alien being, like, tell him he is very sexy. And then you're, like, you're, like, into it and you're. And there's like a bunch of dudes gooning off to, like, alien researchers.

[C]

Yeah, this is not. Not a.

[A]

Well, my friends, you have an option. We can talk about the big boobs guy. We can talk about birthright citizenship.

[C]

Worst titty Tuesday ever.

[B]

I. I wonder what they'll pick.

[A]

Yeah, which one are you going to pick?

[D]

Yeah, which one, guys?

[A]

Looks like. Looks like everybody needs to know about. Where is the stupid even. I think they're getting rid of it. I think everyone's embarrassed about the story.

[C]

It's horrible.

[B]

Deleting. Mass deleting it.

[A]

It's. No, no, no. Just it was on the front page of Media ITE and now it isn't. And I think it's because. Oh, wait, there's more pictures on.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[A]

God. Okay, here we go.

[C]

That sounds awful.

[A]

Here we go. The moment. The moment Tate has been waiting for. Wtf? Political world erupts of a report on Kristi Noem's cross dressing husband. Oh, my God.

[D]

What is going on? Maybe you know what? Maybe her dog just shot himself

[A]

with

[D]

this in the household. I mean, she's wearing, like, you know, jumpsuit, cross dressing. Maybe just.

[A]

Okay, wait. Okay, okay, okay. The story is. Apparently it's funny because when I was, I. I was first. Why is everyone in politics so easy to blackmail?

[D]

That's the dog's last straw and just took himself out.

[A]

So the first.

[C]

The.

[A]

The story that I was first reading, I read that he was in into bimbofication, and I could understand the grammatical structure of what that word means. And it said he was talking to hookers with massive tits, Impossibly fat milkers. And so at first I was like, oh, so like, he wants women who are just like, big, massive bimbo y women. And then apparently, no, he wants to be one.

[C]

All right?

[D]

He just needs a Fox News contract. I think that's what's going on.

[A]

Guys, guys, guys, please, please stop making fun. Because the truth is, he was outed. And that's wrong.

[D]

It is.

[A]

It's wrong.

[B]

I apologize.

[A]

The funny thing is when, like, liberal lefty commentators get outed, they don't care. Yeah, they're just like, yup. And the liberals just go. Like, they'll get made fun of, but they'll go, well, at least my side, we all acknowledge that we're all this way. This is Christine Ome's husband. Why is he filming him? Like, this is the look. Okay, I'm gonna say the face between the two pictures.

[D]

So he likes good there and he's

[A]

like, let me get a better one.

[B]

Let me. Let me get one of my. Let me get one of my face and then let me get one of my crotch.

[A]

But that's the. That's the weirdest thing because, like, he's doing a weird, pouty face, but he's just some guy if he's into, like, bimbos or bimbofication. Bro, you're ugly.

[B]

Like, there's nothing any, like, makeup or any effort. Yeah. This is the most low effort cross dressing I've ever seen.

[D]

I know.

[A]

Okay, I'm gonna be serious and just say this. The only real issue I take with this is that he is the husband of a Trump admin official contacting hookers for weird fetish stuff and paying them. Yeah, listen, listen. I'm not a staunch conservative guy, you know? Like, I know people who are trans and gay married. And I'm just like, just keep it away from kids.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Keep it private. If this dude wants to, you know, put balloons in his shirt and pout in the camera or whatever, just don't do it in public and don't call hookers and film yourself doing it. Especially when your wife is a Trump admin official, I will. I have no problem saying ew. You know what I mean? Remember that guy who had the. I was talking about this earlier. He had the tentacle porn on his computer. Yeah.

[C]

Oh, yes. What was his name?

[A]

I forgot his name.

[C]

He was like an anti Trump guy locker or something.

[A]

Let me. Let me search for that.

[C]

Exactly what his name was.

[A]

Who was the. Was he a journalist?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Dentally posted that.

[C]

I mean, tentacle.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

I mean, at the.

[C]

Yeah. The agent. The last HHS secretary we had how.

[D]

Like a.

[A]

Let's see. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It says Kurt Eichenwald.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

In 2017, he took a picture of his computer and one of the tabs was for tentacle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Japanese anime porn. And. Interesting. Everybody was laughing at him and he was like, I was only doing it to show my wife. I wanted to explain to her what it was. And I'm like, that is also not acceptable. It makes it worse.

[B]

I think that makes it worse. Means you weren't ashamed of this, which makes.

[A]

No, no, no. It's. He was arguing. He's not into it. It's just that he was trying to prove what it was. And the funny thing is, you know that's not true. And so, you know, his family at home was going oh, my God. Because he's like, I'm just gonna. Honey, please, please. I'm just gonna lie and claim I was explaining to you. And she's like, I can't believe you're looking at this stuff, Kurt. What are you wrong with you?

[C]

It's the same thing with. With. With Kirsten Ohm's husband. Apparently, she had no idea. That's what she says. Allegedly. She had no idea.

[A]

You think she knew? I bet that, like, I mean, look, with all due respect to Chrissy. No. She got work done. You know what I mean?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I bet he and her have some crazy Sunday nights. I bet he's like, it's Saturday afternoon. He goes, kids go out and play, and then he kicks them out and locks the door. And then they put on BDSM gear.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And he's like, basketball's out. He puts the basketballs in his shirt, and he's going, oh, no, Hardy. I'm a bimbo. And then she's like, let me. Let me beat you or something.

[B]

She's Mickey Mouse.

[A]

Oh, come here, honey.

[B]

I know. I wish I.

[A]

And then here's Kermit the Frog.

[B]

I really wish that I could in good faith say that she didn't know about this, because I'd like for people to be normal, but I learn more and more every day that people are just so not normal, and they're all degenerate freaks. So would I be surprised if she didn't know about this? Not at all at this point. But let's take it a step farther. I am personally offended by even people doing this nonsense in private.

[A]

Well, I do. I can respect that. But my point is largely just like, of all of the things that people do do, like, there are guys who are married to other guys. And so outside of even knowing what they're doing behind the scenes or assuming in public, they're outright telling you when they, like, put their arms around each other and show off their rings, you already. At the bare minimum. This is not the worst degeneracy that exists in society. And so that's what my point is. Do you want to be freaky in the sheets or whatever? Whatever. Just not in public. Like the fact that he's filming himself and he was sending these photos off, apparently, this is what happens to you. This is what. This is what happens. Okay, Don't. Don't keep your private life to your private self, and then we'll all just pretend you're normal.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that. There you go.

[C]

People just have a problem keeping it private. I mean, especially with the. With the advent of the cell phone, the cameras and cell phones and stuff like that. People just.

[B]

Everyone love that.

[C]

You not have the ability to be like, no, that's me.

[A]

What if her dog just killed himself?

[D]

I know that's what happened. Oh, yeah, I shot my dog. Okay.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, bro.

[A]

Okay. But there is something interesting to this in that.

[B]

Who.

[A]

Who leaked this guy's stuff? That's what I was asking. Because these are his selfies from his phone.

[D]

Which lucky bastard leaked this? Lucky enough to receive those.

[A]

Now, hold on there. This guy Christopher says MAGA is unwell. Now, hold on. Who are you to judge? You got. You got dudes on drugs, growing boobs.

[B]

He's a. Yeah, I was going to say he's a failed congressional candidate.

[A]

Yeah, I'm going to. I want to. I want to comment and be like, hey, man, don't shame people. Has. He's got pride, you know, sure.

[C]

That he was. He was. He's very vocal about how bad it was that they had a trans woman with her boobs out on the White House a couple years back.

[A]

Peter J. Hassen says, against all odds, Kristi Noem is the normal one in her marriage.

[B]

Fair enough.

[A]

The entire GOP is full of degenerates at this point, probably more than Dems. And in this case, all of this is known long before she was appointed. It was an insane appointment, but I don't make the decisions here. Milo has gone on quite a bit about how tons of Republicans are gay, and I think he's.

[B]

He's right about it.

[A]

Yeah. About a lot of it.

[B]

A lot of it, to be fair.

[D]

You know, everyone's like, the Trump administration is not angry enough. They need to be getting angrier and harder. And it's like, wouldn't you want the DHS secretary to, like, have that at home? That would make you mad. And then you're ready to just take

[A]

it out on, like, I think Chrissy gnomes into it.

[D]

You think?

[A]

She.

[D]

Oh, I mean, well, she's.

[A]

She. She's like, I said, like, I'm not trying to be a dick, but she got work done, so just imagine the husband.

[D]

Like, it's her muse.

[A]

No, it's not that. They're like, they're. They're a married couple, bro. Like, she, she, she. A statement saying, like, we were blindsided by this. I'm like, I really doubt it. I bet they got a dungeon, you know, I mean, their kids are grown up and moved out and they're old and. And the dopamine just doesn't hit the same way anymore. You know, they got to level up their game and start doing crazier and crazier things.

[B]

No, I don't. She didn't think anything of those two balloons sitting in their bathroom.

[A]

Basketballs.

[B]

Basketball.

[A]

Yeah. Or whatever. It is horrifying. Bimbo Vacation. I mean, I. I'm sorry. Just like, the idea is hilarious to me. Like, a woman is like a normal woman, and then all of a sudden she's like, oh, I'm like, her tits get massive. Because that's what he said. He, like, ogre. He didn't say like a Hulk. He didn't say impossibly fat milkers. He said ridiculously huge boobs or something.

[D]

Yeah, it's called being a sexual patriot. But.

[A]

But again, like at. Hold on. Like, when I was first reading this and I was reading Bimbo Vacation, like, I can understand the grammatic, like, breakdown of what that means. I'm imagining they're saying that here, like, her husband is into the idea that women are turned into overly sexualized big T women. And I was like, oh, okay. And then it was like. And then he put big fake. Yeah, yeah. But then he put big fake boobs in his shirt and said, tell me I'm a girl. And I went, oh, that's just. That's something else. Some kind of, like, this is all.

[C]

This is all some kind of like, autogynephilia, right? Like, yeah, some kind of variation.

[A]

But look, look. Yes. And. But this, when he. Daniel Horace has. The entire GOP is full of degenerates. Well, that may be, but at least they mostly keep it private.

[B]

Fair enough.

[A]

Like, you know, like, do you know if you're Republican, you're secretly gay. I guess, whatever, you know, I don't care. Just, you know, don't bring it around, kids. Don't do it in public. The Democrats are having sex in public.

[B]

Yeah, well, I.

[A]

Or if the.

[C]

What was the room that. One of the. One of the. One of the offices or one of the rooms in the Senate.

[B]

Well, we also. We had a cross dressing secretary for four years, and nobody made fun of that.

[A]

And it was normal.

[B]

We chastised us.

[A]

Wait, wait, wait. But he stole women's clothing.

[B]

Literally. That's all it.

[A]

Yeah, there's time.

[D]

He was kind of on beast mode. I'm like, awesome. He just kept suitcases.

[A]

I.

[D]

Stop.

[A]

I got to. I got to be honest. Guys, guys, I. I got to mess. I. I beg for that kind of testosterone in the Republican Party, the willingness to steal exclusive designer Clothing from women and. And then wear it in the White House on camera. Like, I got to be honest, you can make fun of that guy because he's weird and all that, but he's probably got testosterone through. His hair is all gone.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And he's like, I'm going to outright steal a woman's clothing that she had specifically tailored for her, and I'm going to wear it on camera at the White House.

[B]

He was also obese, so it probably, like, stretched it out quite a bit.

[A]

Oh, for sure. I'm just saying, like, Republicans are sitting here being like, well, I don't know, Democrats will get mad. And Democrats are like, I'm going to steal your stuff and wear it on tv.

[C]

Steal it from the airport, grab your bag.

[D]

They're scandal.

[A]

He got like a slap on the wrist.

[C]

Oh, he did?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

He lost his job, though.

[A]

Yeah. Slap on the wrist. He showed him with the prison for stealing luggage.

[D]

I mean, that's just such a funny thing to do to just keep getting. Because he got caught every time.

[C]

Multiple times. Yeah.

[D]

You think he'd, like, get better at it, you know, suitcases. Because every time you go to the airport, you're like the last bastion of our high trust society really is the luggage carousel. Because there's nothing stopping you from just taking random suitcases. That always occur of law every time. It takes more than like five minutes. I'm like, someone stole it. Someone stole my suit, my Nike duffel bag.

[A]

I got all my stuff air tagged. Well, you know, I love too, is when, like, you'll check a bag and then when you'll get to your place of destination, open it up. There's a card in there, and it's a DHS card that says, we opened your bag and went through it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm like, okay.

[D]

Happened to me.

[A]

Didn't happen to you. Happen to me. All Happens to me all the time.

[D]

Destroyed. Anyways.

[A]

They're like, tim Pool, we are spawning eyeing on you. And we were looking at your stuff. Your underwear is gross. And then I'm just like, well, you know, I don't know if you carry, if you.

[C]

If you travel with firearms. That kind of stuff happens all the time.

[A]

Kmart, does that still exist?

[B]

Can't say I've seen one in a very long time.

[C]

You know, that's ears left.

[A]

Yeah. I don't actually buy my underwear at Kmart. You know, I got my. Truth be told, I got my underwear from Instagram.

[D]

Oh, whoa. Instagram underwear.

[A]

That's right.

[D]

A thousand percent.

[A]

I was. I was swiping. I was swiping 90s cartoons like X Men and Spider Man. And then I swiped up and it was like, it was like, this is great underwear. And I was like, oh, I click buy. That's basically how I buy everything. Of course, that ufo, Instagram, bro, don't you know anything? Those coins right there, actually that was Fox News. The one where Trump and Biden each would become president, each go to prison.

[D]

I do get like one shotted by the mobile game ads because they like let you play a little bit of it. And I'm like, well, I was done. And then I down, oh yeah, you

[C]

guys got to put that Instagram down.

[A]

I will say this. If there is one thing that has me begging, begging for the meteor of death, it's when you'll see an ad and it'll be like, you know, there's a bunch of commercials where you'll seek a little guy in a bridge and he'll be shooting his gun and then like zombies will be coming, but then he'll move over to the right and he'll shoot like a gun with a five on it. And when he shoots it, he gets the gun and it's. And I'm like, oh, that looks pretty fun. And then there's like a gate coming at you. It says minus 10, but then he's shooting it and then it goes down from negative 10, it goes up to zero, and then it goes up to plus 10. And then he goes through it and now there's 10 soldiers and now they're all shooting the zombies and then they

[C]

do something dumb and then they all get killed.

[A]

And then I'm like, bro, no, I want to play this game. And then you download it. And then right when you start the game, you're this little guy on the bridge and you're moving left and right and you're grabbing the weapons and I'm like, this is the greatest game I've ever played. And then once you do, it goes mission over. And then it turns into a world building civilization game where there's timers on everything. And I'm like, no, go back to where I'm the guy fighting the zombies and you can't. And then I go back to Instagram and I send an angry message and I report it and I say, I will come for you. I will find you. Yeah, why won't someone just make that game?

[D]

I know.

[A]

There's also. No, there's another game where there's a king and he's, he's in. He's in like a tunnel that goes like this and then goes up and then falls into lava. And there's a bunch of blocks moving forward, pushing him. And he's like. And he's looking all scared and then you got to match the blocks and when you do, he pushes forward. So by. By. You know, it's like Candy Crush almost where you rearrange the blocks and get three in a row and if you get him enough, he won't fall in the lava. And I'm like, oh, a time based Candy Crush. That sounds fun. So I download it and what is it? Literally just Candy Crush. There's no king, no lava. They lied to me. I am going to find the studios that make that game and I'm going to knock on their door and I'm going to. I'm going to shake my fist in their general direction.

[B]

Shake my fist.

[C]

Crosswords.

[A]

This is false advertising. I don't accept it. Letter. Absolutely do not accept it. It should be illegal.

[D]

Real.

[C]

That's right.

[D]

So true. No, yeah, I'm.

[B]

I'm just advertising.

[D]

It's true. That's. I just stick with Clash. I'm just a Clash guy.

[C]

Clash Clans.

[D]

Clash of Clans. Clash Royale.

[C]

Clash Royale. I played. I like that.

[D]

It's gas.

[C]

It's all right.

[D]

Been good for like 15 years now. The majority of my life, I've been in a clan on Clash of Clans.

[C]

Really?

[D]

Yeah. We're called the Coup Clash Clan. Every like five years, the clan gets nuked and we just have to start. Start from square one.

[C]

Ccc.

[D]

Like, someone like, gets beat so bad, they report us and then back to square one.

[B]

Players are. Are like Die Hard.

[D]

I feel like the Klansmen or Clash Players.

[B]

Clash Players. Sorry.

[C]

I think they're both pretty Die Hard.

[B]

Both Die Hard. Yeah.

[D]

Just like they kind of fizzled out, you know, the hoods, like, now the Catholics are reclaiming it. So, like, clash. It's kind of just for us, you

[C]

know, it's just for the process, dude.

[B]

I think for the boys.

[A]

I think Instagram needs to be stopped.

[D]

Whoa. We're just glazing. What's going on? No, because he got hit with another ad.

[A]

No, but something. Something happened, you know, like, so I just became a dad. Right. And I'll just keep the story a little bit vague for privacy's sake. But Instagram started showing these videos about kids dying.

[D]

Oh.

[A]

And then it started showing them like crazy. And I think it's because there's that story where the dad gets the advertisement sent to his daughter for pregnancy. For maternity stuff. And he's like, my daughter is 16. So he calls all angry, stop sending this. And they're like, it's algorithmically generated. So the AI systems figured out that his daughter was pregnant because of the Google search history she was doing. And so I think when you start posting like, oh, I had a kid, we start shopping for baby stuff, Instagram automatically will start recommending things that it thinks it wants you to see.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

And so it must be that new parents, they get glued to these stories about their kids dying because they're scared. And it's. So what happens is unintentionally a news story will be like, a seven year old kid fell into the ice and died, or like a three year old was hit by a car. And new parents stop and stare at that news story and watch the whole thing. So the algorithm doesn't know what it's showing you. It's just saying, this video is loved by new parents. And it starts spam blasting these stories. The other thing it keeps doing is ping pong, bro. I'm not kidding. Instagram, I think probably was paid off by big ping pong. And they were like, spam Tim Pool with ping pong videos. That way he'll start playing and promoting it. And then I was getting, I was like, I'm scrolling. Listen, I watch poker videos, I watch action sports. So like skiing, skateboarding, whatever. I'm not clicking on any of the stuff. I'm not interested. And then all of a sudden, getting nothing but ping pong. And I was like, stop, stop, I hate ping pong. And I would click and be like, stop sending me this, I'm not interested. I'm disgusted by this. But it would not stop sending me ping pong videos. It was wild.

[B]

They're trying to convert you from a skateboarder to, I think, player.

[A]

I think they're, they're experimenting. I really, really do. Facebook was accused of experimenting on its users by sending them things to see if it would alter their political opinions. It's true.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

That's awesome.

[A]

Yeah. So I'm like, I bet someone at Facebook is like, we're gonna see if we can get Tim Pool to talk about ping pong in a positive light and be into it and promote ping pong. Well, I assure you, I hate table tennis ping pong. I hate it. I could not hate it more. I used to be ambivalent. I used to not care. And then I go to my search because you press a little magnifying glass, it gives you a bunch of things and there's like 17 ping pong videos and I'm just bashing my phone on the table screaming, never again.

[B]

You launch a hate campaign against ping pong instead.

[A]

Yeah, the algorithm must be stopped.

[D]

They like, they like have to be tapping text or something. It's like no matter what you're going through in life, they just hit you with the most direct thing.

[B]

There are things that I've spoken, I've never searched, never typed it into my phone, never taken a photo of anything. I've spoken them and then I'll get an ad for the exact same brand or something. Like, I was shopping in a Nordstrom once with my brother and I said something about like a specific brand of like swim trunks, and next thing I know on Instagram specifically is an ad for those exact swim trunks. Never have I looked them up or anything of that sort.

[C]

Yeah, I know how to prevent that. Get rid of Instagram.

[D]

No can do.

[C]

Get rid of, get rid of all the meta properties.

[B]

Said than done.

[C]

I don't have an Instagram myself. I don't have, I don't use WhatsApp. I don't have a Facebook page. I don't have any meta.

[B]

Spotify and Apple Music.

[C]

I do have Spotify, I have Apple Music, I have X, I have a YouTube page, but I don't, I don't, I don't have Snapchat. I don't have TikTok.

[D]

Literally, like shake if I don't watch Instagram reels.

[A]

Oh, Trump tomorrow at 9, he's going to give us. Trump tomorrow night is giving a speech on Iran. So we'll, we'll pull that up. I guess we'll watch Moon Mission stuff dot com.

[C]

No, nobody cares. Trump lost.

[A]

I mean, he got Israel derangement syndrome.

[C]

He's got a lot of derangement syndrome.

[A]

That's pretty crazy. I don't know why. But let's jump to this story because it needs to be done. Trump plans to attend oral arguments in Supreme Court birthright citizenship case. That is tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen. It is going to be amazing. I'm going to be sitting here listening to these arguments. It's going to be a lot of fun. Depending on what time they start, maybe I'll do like a live stream and we can just like listen in and do a listening session where I will explain why the people arguing for it are dumb. So everybody knows the arguments that we've gone over them a million one times. The Supreme Court's going to hear the arguments. I do not there. I'm Sorry. There's literally no argument for it. None.

[B]

None.

[A]

There is none. Question. Did the founding fathers think that someone from China could. Could bring their kid here, Could. Could come here pregnant, give birth, that kid could be president of the United States?

[B]

No.

[A]

No. They probably would kill you. Yeah, it's not going to happen. And so after the Civil War, did they think that someone from China should be able to come here, give birth, and that kid can be the president?

[B]

No.

[A]

Nope. Nobody did. So why are we doing it now? It makes no sense. And I don't know what argument you're going to have. You're going to. You're going to have like. You're going to have like, Kavanaugh being like, are there any other countries that have a practice comparable. They're going to be like, there's like, one. Not really. It's like, oh, so why is the United States allowing anyone to bring their children here? Here's the other thing. I'll just say about this. Maybe you want to make the argument that in the early days, they did not imagine that planes would exist. So they said, it's fine if someone's here and the kid is born, the kid's a citizen. Because they viewed it like as a hundred times a year thing. Out of millions of people, that's not really a big deal. But certainly we can reassess today based on modern technology and issue a new ruling and saying, well, based on the ease of access and the illegalities that are surrounding this, notably illegal birth tourism, at this point, we can say it's over.

[B]

Yeah, well, I mean, this is clearly not the intent behind birthright citizenship. Just on its face, anybody can see that. You don't even have to have to have half a brain cell to understand that. But to say that people can, yeah, just hop, skip and jump across the border, take a flight over from China, have your kid, and that kid is automatically a citizen is a pretty ridiculous argument all together.

[D]

Yeah. And like, it's consensus across the entire old world that, you know, it's citizenship by blood. Right. You like to have that stake to actually become a citizen in the country. Some like some level of heritage at some degree, whether it's parents or grandparents. Where in the new World, across all the settler colonies, we have birthright citizenship because, like America's unique case with the slaves, but like, majority of these New world countries, I think Columbia is the only one that doesn't actually have birthright citizenship. It was because they were bringing in a lot of immigrants. We needed to settle the frontier as quickly as possible, just give them the citizenship and send you on your way where? We're not trying to settle a frontier anymore. We're out of frontiers. So it's just ridiculous.

[A]

I think the whole world is our oyster.

[D]

Well done. Roe doctrine. We might need to keep birthright.

[A]

So shipping Don Row doctrine is everything that the light touches belongs to us.

[D]

To trump America.

[C]

Personal trump.

[A]

Well, look, let's be real. When the settlers came to this country, there were people who lived here. I mean, especially with the Spaniards in the south. I mean, the Inca and the Aztec, they had cities, they had, you know, territory. I didn't care. So, like, I'm not saying we should conquer other countries or go to war. My point is.

[B]

I am.

[A]

What? No, no, But. But this is the point when people. When you say there's no more frontier, I'm like, that was. Even when there were other countries, countries were like, I will take it from you.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

So my point is the sentiment has changed to where we're like, no, no, we shouldn't invade and conquer other lands anymore. But back in the day, that was like, so who should we conquer?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Well, I'm just saying, like, as far as, like, unsettled land. But yeah, I agree. I mean, the frontier, accurately defined to be just like the next bastion of American greatness.

[A]

But, bro, Canada is all unsettled land. This is my point.

[D]

Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, but,

[A]

like, we have unsettled land in.

[D]

In.

[A]

In the. In the west of the United States still.

[D]

But we have.

[A]

The federal government just claimed it.

[D]

Yeah. And we don't need. Like, I think we're good. Like, I think we have enough cities.

[A]

Like, are we. Are we really supposed to just respect that Canada says that, like, the Yukon is theirs? Because.

[D]

Yeah, there's not really much they could do about it if. No, I didn't just, like, take it.

[A]

How many people live in the Yukon?

[C]

Like 10.

[B]

Yeah. Not many. And honestly, they'd probably be perfectly fine acquiring them.

[C]

Well, I mean, Alberta, in and of itself, is about to have a referendum.

[A]

If I understand correctly, 40,000 people in 482. 443 square kilometers.

[C]

Mm.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That's a lot. A lot of land there wouldn't be a whole lot about.

[A]

Northwest Territories is probably better. Right. Because it's 1.3 million square kilometers with 40, 000 people. And what are the two? For one, it's almost entirely Native Americans who live there, not like indigenous Canadians, like Eskimos.

[B]

Just toss a casino on.

[A]

No, no, it's Chippewa.

[D]

Yeah. They're like Inuit. Yeah.

[A]

And a lot of Inuit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

Just throw some slaves at them. They'll be like, yeah.

[A]

Yo, what is this?

[D]

They live in bears.

[A]

So, like, Canada just goes, it's ours. And we're just like, okay. It's unsettled frontier, and there are still natives who live there. And they never agree to this.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

I mean, so.

[A]

So we're supposed to just agree that. You know what I mean? Like, we're being gentlemanly about it.

[D]

That's like. Well, I mean. Yeah, I mean, that's. That's kind of the whole idea.

[C]

Boring. I know.

[D]

And it's just like.

[A]

I'm just put it like this. When. When the European colonists came to, like, more so Central in South America, where there actually were the Incan and Aztec empires. Big cities. I'm not saying they were good people. They were like, flaying people alive and doing other weird things and, like, chopping, pulling hearts on stuff. But they had cities, they had kingdoms, they had territory, they had guards, they had structure. And the, you know, the Spaniards were

[D]

just like, no, it just coughed on them. And they all took, like. They all died.

[A]

Well, to be fair, Cortez was like, you are backwards barbarian savages who mutilate children. We are going to conquer you and stop this from happening.

[B]

Was he wrong, though?

[D]

Kind of coked with.

[A]

Yeah, no, but my. So, like, we know right now there are countries that are doing comparable things. Yeah, like we've lost the spirit of conquest.

[D]

Yeah, totally. I mean, like, there was estimates from a few different historians on, like, the Aztec Empire, for example, and they were. They were sacrificing humans, like, at a rate that would be comparable to like 3% of the population. So if you took infants extracted, that would be like 1 1/2% of the population they were sacrificing. Well, Britain is on track to, by the end of the decade, abort half of all pregnancies terminated. All half of all pregnancies.

[A]

No, that's only for the white Brits, right?

[D]

Probably. Yeah, probably. And then in the United states, it's like 25% of all pregnancies and an abortion. So it's like, for rates far lower than, like, the rates that were, like, aborting our children in the west span Spain just permanently exterminated pretty much all.

[A]

I'm just Mesopotamian, obviously.

[D]

Islam, American societies.

[A]

Islam has not lost the spirit of conquest.

[D]

No, well, like.

[B]

But it's got a long history of it, actually.

[D]

But it's not like a proper conquest. It's like they're just exploring exploiting European welfare systems. That's not like an actual base.

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

It's modern.

[A]

The only reason, the only reason you need armed men to storm the gates is because there are gates. Like during the jihad, Europe opened the gates.

[D]

That's the problem.

[A]

Exactly. My point is this. It's, it's, it's quite literally a proper conquest. During the jihad, they were towns with no gates. The, the, the jihadis just came in and said, we, this is now Islam. And they were like, oh, I guess

[D]

like even if Europe lifted a finger, they would. Like, they could expel all the Muslims tomorrow. Like they wouldn't have to do like a reconquista. It would be quite easy. Most these people are like on the welfare team. It's like not a, not a conquest in the sense of even prior Muslim conquests. Like Spain is just incomparable to like what Spain is now. Where Spain could literally just pass a bill to like tell 80% of them leave and they would have no choice but to leave.

[A]

Because I don't think so.

[D]

Yeah, it would be, it would be fairly. Remigration would be like fairly easy to do because most of it is economics based. Most of these people are there for economic reasons. Not.

[A]

I think the issue is that when a certain portion of your population is dominated by an ideology, you cannot pass a bill. Like our Congress is paralyzed. We have whole cities that have become like foreign cultures. I'm not even talking about Islam. I'm just saying you've got the Somali community, you've got Dearborn, Michigan.

[D]

But they only exist because we permit them to exist.

[A]

I disagree.

[D]

It would be fairly easy to remove all of them.

[A]

I disagree.

[D]

If the government had the willpower to do so.

[A]

The willpower comes from the voters and the people. And the people are half conquest conquistadors.

[D]

I mean like, you're talking about the U.S. what? Well, I'm just saying like, I don't think it's like, I don't think it's like they've, I don't think they've conquered. They, they've literally just squatted. I think it's more cool to. Squatters would be a better.

[A]

I guess if you're trying to say I don't want to give them the credit of, of the, the noble.

[D]

Yeah, because I think I hate people. Yeah.

[A]

My point is this. We've got, we have five people in this room and we're all going to vote that no one should be allowed in. If five people break in and then now we're splitting our vote between us and them. We don't have the willpower to get rid of them. We're going to be like, hey, you can't be in there and be like, well, we vote against you. It's ours now.

[D]

Yeah, that's the issue with birthright citizenship.

[A]

Indeed. And so the issue is when you say, if we had the willpower to do it, you can't have the willpower when the people who are coming to your home are saying outright, I get to vote too. And you. And I vote not to remove me.

[D]

I agree. But it's just in the west, like at every turn, from the United States to Britain to France to Germany have all voted, less migration, less migration. Get these people out of here. It's the government in and of itself. Even these like right wing parties, which are just like siphons basically for like actual right wing energy. But my point actually carry this out. That's the problem.

[A]

My point is the reason you have that government is because they are catering to those people, Republicans included. Republicans just said we have to back off mass deportation because it's hurting our

[D]

Hispanic voter base right now. That's like the moment we're in now. You know, the point is sailing.

[A]

There is no great conqueror anymore because you don't need to have one.

[D]

Right.

[A]

You don't. We have. We have no great barriers that need to be trampled by armed men to raise a flag. They literally walked in the country with their flags. They drape their flags over them and throw Molotov cocktails at our police.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And then our police go, we can't handle this. And the commissioner goes, listen, half of that guy's family voted for me, so don't do anything about it.

[D]

Yeah. I guess the point I was making is like, I wouldn't equivalent, like what would be like a Hernan Cortez level conquest to like, what these people are doing now would be the equivalent to like a homeless squatter in Los Angeles in a decrepit building. It's like all they really did is show up and squat here despite clamoring.

[A]

My point is Hernan Cortez showed up and was greeted like a God. They welcomed him in, he walked right in and then just said, okay, it's ours now. Slaughter them. So the, so the point is the people who come here with ill intent, because I'm a big fan of immigration. I'm a huge fan of immigration. I want to brain drain the whole world. They got to come here legally, though. Legally. So for me, I Don't care about race or whatever. I care about the values of a country and whether people want to come here and uphold the values of a country. If they don't, it's. I don't see it as any different than Hernan Cortez, honestly. They thought he was quasi codal and said, the pale skinned God has returned in a giant vessel. Adorn him with gifts, bring him to the throne. And then Hernan Cortez is like, yo, they're killing children and they're ripping hearts out.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Pulls out his sword, pulls out, starts stabbing people. They let him in.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like, again, it's just, I don't see like the, the nobility. I don't think even if push came to shove, they would be willing to conquer like that. I think for the most part these people would get emptied out if you just like eliminated the economic incentives from the be there.

[A]

Like. Right.

[D]

But you can't a lot of them just self deport, like.

[A]

No, no, no. But again, the point is you are arguing for a split population to issue a mandate over another portion of the population. Like you said, we could get them to leave if the government had the willpower. But the government is composed of these people.

[D]

The current government's not like the current. This is the problem with like, the GOP electorate is majority white, but they don't behave that way.

[A]

That's, that's. But, but because the politicians have Hispanic voters. Trump needs these. But they issued a mandate telling the Republicans to back off mass deportations because they were losing Hispanic voters.

[D]

Right. So that's why, it's like, that's why people are frustrated. Like the Meyer Flores statement, for example, because it's like if we just ran up the numbers in the white community, we wouldn't need to like basically water down our message.

[A]

Half of white people are in favor of mass migration.

[D]

Well, no, the mass. The majority of Americans broadly or the general population are in favor of mass deportations. If you isolated the white population, I'm liberals.

[A]

Half of white people are voting in favor of mass migration.

[D]

Yeah, whites. It was like, I think it was like 5842 for Trump. So, yeah, I mean, it's. But if you, like, again, it's a difficult thing because it's just like at a certain point the problem more so is like a procedural, procedural issue. It's like if we keep voting for the less immigration party and then we get more immigration, then at a certain point you have to question the entire system at large. Okay, Democracy capable of delivering a result that would hurt the stock market. That's basically the question at play. And the answer is probably no. Like the market comes first, no matter what, the GDP must go up. And migration up until like literally 5 minutes ago was kind of a cheat code for the GDP because you just brought in like excess spenders, people that were going to spend money, consume money, and now that's starting to like trickle. Like.

[C]

Yeah, that's, that's not, that, that's not the case anymore though, especially when you're

[D]

trying so about until like five minutes ago. And now some of these governments, like in Denmark are starting to react accordingly and they're saying, okay, this is just stupid. And they can literally people leave when you like eliminate a lot of these economic incentives. Because the majority of people aren't like noble conquistadors. They're literally just leeches. And like, if you eliminate, again, if you eliminate the sort of the food supply, so to speak, they just go home.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, 40, 41% of white people vote Democrat.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

42, 50, 63% of Asians, 83% of black voters, white voters, 56% vote Republican. And then there's the, the middle of the road, Hispanics. Yeah.

[D]

And if you distill like the white population for groups that would be considered like kind of the heritage American population, it's an even much higher proportion that's voting Republican. Of course, like the, the, the, the, the group in the United States that votes the most Republican is English Americans. And that's, you know, would be considered kind of the core group. So like, the further out you get from like that Anglo Protestant core of the United States, as like Warren McIntyre would put it, the more unlikely you are to see voting patterns that would indicate like protecting the border, you know, implementing like Christian values and in society and these sorts of things.

[A]

Well, I mean, it's pretty wild to watch like the NBA stuff where they booted that dude from the team and then you had that football player came out and defended him. I will say this, the NBA just basically fired a guy for saying pride events are unrighteous and he serves Christ. Where, where are all the prominent Christians in every. Like, where's Chris Pratt? Yeah, Chris Pratt does commercials for hello. And he's massive a lister celebrity in all the big movies. Why does he not come out and say very calmly and just very nicely, this is wrong. Hey, this is a guy who has an opinion you may not agree with. He didn't tell anybody how to live their lives. He just said that he didn't like it and he's a Christian and we should respect it. Where are the Christians to stand up for this guy who stood up for Christianity?

[C]

I was arguing with a friend of mine about, well, not really arguing, but I read a friend of mine that is a left leaning guy and he's like, well, you know, they have the right to fire and blah blah, blah. And I replied with, yeah, but do you think it's right? Because that's something that the left will do. They'll go ahead and they'll say, oh, well, you know, the companies have the right to do that. Would you want this person with this bad opinion? And of course he said, would you want a communist or Nazi working for you? Because you know, you go to the most hyperbolic answer you can come up with and it's like the point isn't about whether or not they have the right. A company of course has the right to decide. This person should or shouldn't be contracted with us or what have you. But the point is, do you want to live in a society where someone that expresses their own religious opinions loses their job because of it?

[B]

Yeah, well, and also that's essentially that company deciding what opinion is and isn't. Correct?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

And also on top of that, I'm sorry we had to endure, as, I mean, NBA fans rather, and the players have to endure them celebrating Pride Month and painting blm on, on, on courts and kneeling during the national anthem. There's no problem when people do anything of that sort. But the second that a Christian defends his faith, then it's a problem.

[C]

And, and, and again, it, it was something that was so mundane, so inoffensive, just saying, look, this is something that I don't agree with. And he, he, he lost his job for that. That is, that's totally ridiculous. And again, I'm not saying that companies must, you know, should be forced to hire people that have, you know, views that don't align with the company's, you know, whatever their, their, their, their brand or what have you. But at the same time, like, we do have a First Amendment that protects not only your right to speech, but your, your right to express yourself and, and have a, you know, your religion. So where is that same kind of, of, you know, defense for the First Amendment again? And if this, this, like I said, this guy's a friend of mine, but I know that if it were some speech that he didn't agree with, in fact, he's actually probably more wishy washy on the freedom of speech Than, than at least anyone in this room. And they would never say, oh, you know, this is, is bad speech. You know, they would always be like, oh, you know, if it's bad speech, this is something that, that we should definitely, you know, we should, we should limit what people can say on the Internet or we can, you know, he's made similar comments to that and it's just, it's, it's so transparent that it's all about the fact that, well, I'm on the left and this guy is what I consider a Christian or what I consider someone on the right, you know?

[B]

Well, and it's so interesting because it's not like he was, I mean, I understand that he's a athlete, a public figure, so social media is like an extension of you, but it's not like he was on the court saying all this. He wasn't dragging it into the workplace. It's not like he's a Walmart employee screaming at people to accept them because they're whatever, you know, like, he's not dragging it into the workplace. He's not shoving it down the throats of his teammates or, you know, anything of that sort. But that's how it's just taken and accepted and he's punished for it for essentially no reason.

[D]

And also, like, I think part of the reason you're not seeing like a lot of Christians go to bat for the sky is because Christians have gotten really soft on the gay, the LGBT issue like in the last 10 years because Christians are especially evangelicals are really sensitive to like how they're perceived by the world because they're ultimately evangelicals are like trying to bring people into the church. They're saying, you need to come, you need to come to our church. You need to become a Christian. So they're, it's, it's a, actually kind of a healthy tendency is they're like worried about putting like turning people off. The problem is this issue is so out of step with like what the current consensus is from the world and the country by and large. So, yeah, as soon as you say, like, yeah, maybe two gay guys getting married, I don't actually view that as a marriage. Doesn't matter how left wing you are on every other issue, you're going to be perceived as like a right wing bigot, etc. I think the reason you're not seeing a lot of these Christians speak out again is because that is the one issue that is, makes Christians really uncomfortable when they have to speak out on. That's why every Time you see a pastor give up, go up to give a sermon over, like, a passage that discusses homosexuality, they give you like a 15 minute preamble about how they don't hate homosexuals and they apologize for how come Christians have treated homosexuals in the past. That's why you see, whenever you see the, the deconversions, right, where people have this, like, reckoning and they realize, I'm not a Christian anymore. I'm so out of step with, like, my church, et cetera. Typically, the issue you see them cite is how the church treats homosexuals. I mean, Rhett and Link comes to mind where Rhett and Link had this, like, video series. It was so long ago now, but they were like, I can't be a Christian anymore. I'm leaving the church. And the main reason they cited, out of all the, like, problems people could have with Christianity, out of all the Christians critiques, all, like, even if they go through, like, you know, the history of the Bible and maybe where they think there's, like, they could try and poke holes, etc, Rhett and Link were like, I had a gay friend and I realized I couldn't hug him anymore. Like, if I were, like, to be true to my Christian values, I couldn't even hug him anymore. So therefore I can't be a Christian. And that just kind of shows you how strong this, like, the homosexual issue is and how much pressure there is from the LGBT kind of lobby or community, whatever you want to call them, because Christians are absolutely petrified on this issue. And then in addition to that, people leave the church because they're so afraid of being perceived as a bigot, because that's like, what is the one thing in America that you cannot be above all else, It's a bigot. That's a horrible thing. You do not want to be a bigot. Granted, a lot of people on the riot are now just like, I don't care what you call me anymore. But the reality is the vast majority of people, people that aren't watching the show, but the vast majority of Americans are still really concerned with how they're perceived. They want to be like, you know, normal people.

[A]

Let's pull this story. In light of this conversation. We have this from SCOTUS blog. Supreme Court sides with therapists in challenge to Colorado's ban on conversion therapy. So this is big news. It dropped today. Of course. The only person who didn't agree was Katanji Brown Jackson. Because anyway, the Supreme Court on Tuesday is going to challenge Colorado's ban on conversion therapy. Treatment intended to change a client's sexual orientation or gender identity for young people back back to the low four young people back to the lower courts for them to apply a new standard. By a vote of 8 to 1, the justices agreed with Kaylee Chiles, the licensed counselor challenging the law that ban. That the ban discriminates against her based on the views that she expresses in her talk therapy, a federal appeals court wrote. For them, Gorsuch wrote, should have applied a more stringent standard review known as strict scrutiny to determine whether the law violates the First Amendment. But the Supreme Court also strongly hinted the ban would fail that test. Gors had stressed that in cases like Child's Colorado ban Chiles Colorado's ban censors speech based on ViewPoint because the First Amendment reflects a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely and a faith in their free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering the truth. Gorsuch continued, any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an egregious result on both those commitments. Katanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter. Yep. She argued the majority's opinion could be ushering in an era of unprofessional and unsafe medical care administered by. By effectively unsupervised healthcare providers. It was always the craziest thing to me that they made conversion therapy illegal. If an individual is gay or trans and decides they want to go to a doctor to stop that behavior, that is their choice.

[B]

But also, what is therapy if not some sort of conversion? You're clearly going to therapy because you find there to be something wrong with your mental state or physical state even. You're going to therapy to intentionally change or fix that. That is some sort of conversion, is it not?

[A]

I think therapy is a scam.

[B]

I agree.

[A]

I think, I think therapy is like drug dealing in that here's somebody like it's largely women, they're depressed, they're upset, so they go to therapy and the therapist just affirms everything they're saying and it makes you feel good. And then they say, keep paying me money, you need me. And then people develop a. A dependency on this social affirmation.

[B]

Yeah, well. And I think it's also the rise in therapy has coincided with the rise in things like social media that have taken human interactions out of your daily life. But I mean, this is just beyond ridiculous. It's not even opinion based like this is in conversion therapy is just stupid on its face as a band. But for you to not be able to Tell a little boy that he's a little boy under the guise of, you're going to hurt somebody's feelings or hurt somebody's, you know, perceived ideology is just ridiculous.

[A]

Let me ask you guys something. Do you feel like more people than normal are depressed? Yeah, I do.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

People I know and have known for a long time all seem to have this, like, low level depression about everything right now. We talked about this last week. I was talking about this with my wife. Here's how. Here's how the story started. We. We went to Frederick because we were like, we had to do some, like, administrative stuff in Maryland because we still have the properties over there. And then on the way back, I was like, oh, we should go to the liquor store. Because we used to stop at this liquor store in Brunswick that has the craziest booze. That's where we got all the pappy and stuff. And then, you know, my wife's like, yeah. She's like, I'll get a great wine. And you got. I'll get a nice wine. You can get something for the studio. And I was like, well, nobody drinks anymore. And I. I was like, there was a point in like 2022 where we had this shelf in the old studio with tons of booze, like really expensive stuff, like $2,000 tequila. And when guests would come in, I'd be like, make yourself a drink. They'd go, oh, wow. And then they'd make themselves a drink. Slowly after that, people started drinking less and less. And so we stopped restocking because we just had Boo sitting there and nobody was drinking it. Then I got to the point where every single guest was like, you know what? I stopped drinking. And I'm not saying drinking correlates. I'm saying around this time, people seemed to be having less and less fun as well. And maybe it is drinking, I don't know. But it used to be that before the show, it was shenanigans. Guests would come, they'd bring a bunch of people with them. Then there'd be like, we'd show them Chicken City. There'd be people playing games, watching movies, There'd be people skateboarding. Now it's like everybody feels largely, like, to a lower degree, depressed. Not just, you know, around here. It's like people are kind of like, I don't know. But the guests we bring on don't drink anymore. People are kind of like, well, you know, I'm just going to. I'm just going to head out. People don't stick around. It feels like and again, I know, like, maybe it's just us, but whatever. But I've experienced this at restaurants, the places we used to go hang out in Frederick.

[B]

Not as fun anymore.

[D]

No.

[A]

Like the people there seem to. The energy is gone. There's not as many people at the arcade. It feels like people are generally depressed about everything right now.

[B]

Yeah, well, you have to look at it like drinking for the most part is a social. It's something you do when you're socializing. It's more of a. It's not an upper per se, but it's something that you do to, you know, let loose and get a little rowdy, for lack of better words. I feel like this is correlation to the rise in, you know, smoking and vaping and things like that too, which are, I mean, pretty anti social behaviors if I would have to assess it.

[A]

I think it's the Internet.

[B]

Yeah, that too.

[A]

The Internet's ruined everything. And we need a nuclear war. We need scattered EMPs everywhere that wipe out the grid and send us back to the 1800s so that we're forced to have community again. And then we'll be happy.

[B]

Yeah. What if there was just like a virus that mass uploaded to every like piece of technology.

[A]

It actually almost happened. It was called DNS. Cash poisoning. Yeah, that was a huge exploit that was discovered in like the 2000s. I think that could have shut the entire Internet down. Yeah.

[D]

Part of the problem is opportunity. This is one of the cases where like Fox News primetime television is more correct than like anybody else in the situation. It actually is liberalism, like liberalism in and of itself. Specifically, specifically for young men which have like the highest, at like depression rates as far as like reporting clinical depression. The reason for that is because it eliminates all things that young men are supposed to be doing, which is at least pursuing greatness in the sense of pursuing some way of cementing yourself in the history books. I think it was like Sam Hyde had a joke about how like 100 years ago, you know, an autistic dude would be going through his town and documenting every beetle in his town and he'd be like this great, you know, like documentary of Beatles and that sort of thing. And he had a beetle named after him. And then now he's just like grinding hours on like Factorio or something like that. And there's truth to that. It's because like every avenue for a young man that would typically be there, that would allow them to do great things, has been completely shut off. Likewise, every empire throughout history, every civilization that opened the Most doors to young men to be able to do great things. Like, think about the British. I mean, when the British went out and conquered the world, it didn't just, like, happen organically. It's because they, like, opened those pathways up for young men to be able to go out and, like, conquer new lands and these sorts of things. The United States did something similar, and now all of those are removed. Where liberalism, again, it strips away every identity that you even have. It, like, reduces you to a blank slate. Therefore, the only, like, accomplishment you can ever even have is, like, these, like, micro goals that are, like, permitted, like, oh, I got a promotion, these sorts of things. But it has no. Like, it doesn't give you the fulfillment that you need as a young man. And this. Men are especially miserable and just tap out.

[A]

I actually think a big piece of it, too, is that we don't have families. Yeah, that's part of one. So one of the things I see with a lot of the. A lot of the people that I know from, like, back home, like, where I grew up, who are still there, some. Some of them have kids and are miserable and get me wrong, but a lot of people that I know from all walks of life who are in their mid to late 30s with no family feel, I see, like, this minor depression. And I'm like, I think it's because humans are supposed to have families. And it was this old trope that when you. When you got older and had kids, you didn't have friends anymore. And it was, like, lamented, but the reality was you spent time with your family.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, you don't want to go to the bar and meet up with the boys. Like, you want to take your wife and kids out to go to the lake and have a picnic. And that's what your enjoyment is. So you don't really need to have these big social outings, but you do a little bit sometimes. Well, now the problem is everybody's old. I've had a bunch of friends and colleagues who have died already. I'm 40. And so it's. It's not as pronounced. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a parabolic curve. But as you get older, more people, you know, die. And, you know, I was just shout rest in peace to Dan Kaminsky, because I just looked him up. And it's sad because he died a few. He died five years ago, and he's the guy who solved DNS, cash poisoning. And I'm thinking about, like, five years ago, 10 years ago, the adventures, the crazy stuff that was going on. And I was thinking, like, you know, it's not so much that great people are retiring or dying or checking out. It's that there, there, there isn't this passionate older generation, like millennials, who are excited to pass on what they've learned to a younger generation, because there's no younger generation.

[B]

Yeah, well, and also, when you, when you take away the aspect of family and children, what exactly are you living for? To a certain extent, like, you have no legacy if you're essentially just going to die off. And then, you know, at some point, you're literally just, you know, people are living for the weekend. Like, you go, you go through. You go through life. Ah, work this, that the other. I can't wait until Friday night where I can be a degenerate and do whatever. But that's essentially all people.

[A]

Big balloons in your shirt.

[D]

And also, like, specifically with young men, as you're seeing this weird situation happen, specifically with, like, conservative men, where it's the same problem, but the solution is, what we think we want to hear from young men is they're pursuing family and, like, marriage and children, but they're pursuing it so hard that it's like, that is the goal in and of itself, where it's like a family. Having a family should be an outcome of a great life. Like, you're performing well in life, you're doing well, therefore you have a family. Pursuing it creates this problem that's like scarcity mindset, where you, like, you start to approach life with this scarcity mindset, and you'll just take whatever I can get. And what that's resulting in is a lot of men and also women, like, because I know a lot of young women that are desperate to get married. And the problem is when you're desperate to do something, you're just gonna take whatever. What's available to you. And the problem is now you're ending up with these men and women. Young people I know are ending up in really horrible situations where they're married and things. They married the wrong person.

[A]

You know, my.

[D]

I hate to say it, but it's true.

[A]

My dad would always tell me, never buy a car in a hurry. Yeah, yeah, that's the idea. It doesn't, you know, because women are cars.

[D]

Yeah. So it's the scarcity mindset. So what's happening is young people,

[B]

half of a person and three quarters.

[A]

Three quarters.

[D]

And so it's, it's screwing over a lot of. Not screwing over, because it's a It's a good situation. But young men that should be pursuing something great, they realize that's cut off to them. So they're like, the only way I'm ever gonna, like, have any, like, print any proof I was alive would be if I have children. So they become desperate, and then the desperations would hurt you.

[A]

But women are men these days. That's the problem is that for a. For a Gen Z guy who's like, I want to find a wife. You go and find a wife, and she's like, well, I have a career. And it's like, okay, well, I want to find a wife who wants to be a mother. And that's harder because of social pressures on women. They have been raised millennials, and Gen Z men have been raised to be told, you should not be a mother, you should be a CEO.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Young men and young women have split completely opposite directions. Whereas, yeah, women have become hyper masculinized, like, in terms of their goals being a career, putting off family. I mean, maybe forever. And certainly they're not aspiring to have kids as much as they should. And now young men are reverting back to traditionalism, to, you know, conservatism, to religion. They're wanting families, and the women aren't adding up to that. So, yeah, like you, if. If the market is scarce, you do become a little desperate.

[D]

Yeah. So it's not. That's why I'm not really. I'm just observing this trend happening. I'm not really blaming people for ending up in that scarcity mindset, because it's just natural. And there's not really. This is the. This is the black pill. There's not really, like, a solution for it outside of, like, drastic measures that probably won't happen in our lifetimes, like banning the Internet or something. And so, like, part of the problem you're seeing is there are young men and are young women. Sorry. There are young men and are young women who would make great husbands, would make great wives. And they're out there and they're, like, longing for a spouse. They just can't find each other because all the institutions that would have facilitated them meeting are dead now. The churches, by and large. I mean, I know there's like, the headlines in the New York Post, like, men are flocking back to Christianity. If you look at the data zoomers are like the least church generation. I'm sorry, it's just the reality, like, schools, a lot of people are opting out on college or people are having pretty miserable college experiences. So they're not really meeting in college. The only ways these people are meeting are like bars or like the dating apps, which is the overall majority are dating apps. The problem is the people that have the temperament to be like a really good spouse are really put off by dating apps. They hate dating apps and they're miserable on there. That's why it's even more depression, more black pill.

[A]

Yeah, that's why what you do is you go to the supermarket and you know, you're like, you're walking and there's like, you know, there's a woman and you're like, you know, I want to meet her. And then you, you, you drop something. Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry. I just like, oh, sorry about that. Hey, by the way, my name's Tate. Nice to meet you. You know, just Sunday shopping. You, you live around here.

[D]

The problem is, to your point where, and this is the point you make all the time, and it's true, is like this is the smallest generation, you know, of the modern world.

[A]

Well, not Gen Z, Gen Z is the same size as millennials and Alpha is Microsoft.

[D]

Scott. It's getting smaller and smaller where I'm just walking around and I'm like, everyone's really old. Yeah, everyone's really old. And also the areas that are more, the areas that are more conservative are older. Like the, the cities are, all the young people are. And then everyone's.

[A]

How old are you now?

[D]

25.

[A]

You are supposed to be surrounded by 17, 18 year olds. Like, but, but for real, the way it usually, always it's supposed to go is 40 million of one generation, 60 million of the next, 80 million to the next. And so for millennials to, to go 80 million and then Gen Z is 80 million. This is where it stops. And now Jennifer is getting smaller. My prediction was that there will like, let me just put it this way. Sabrina Carpenter can sell at an arena. Metallica can overflow stadiums. I don't think we are going to have generational person. So I'm gonna say this. When I was just, when I was looking up, looking up Dan Kaminsky, Rest in, Rest in Peace, I was thinking about like the great minds of, of this, this generation and the people that exist today. We are not going to see this as much with Gen Z and we're not going to see with Gen Alpha. Not because there won't be great minds, there will be prominent personalities, but that the issue is millennials aren't, I'm sorry guys, Millennials aren't going to be like, yo, put on that new Sabrina Carpenter, let's rock. You know, sorry, I've got Three Dog Night. I've got the Clash. I've got Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam. I was just playing Yellow Ledbetter for my daughter because that song was going viral and it's a great song. I'm not gonna put on Sabrina Carpenter and we'll, like, Jam to Espresso. All of the songs from When I Grew up, they affect the boomers. Gen X and Millennials is a massive compounding generator, compounding group. And so, like, you've got classic rock, Gen Z has access to a lot of classic rock stuff, too. But the Gen Z artists will not resonate with millennials the way that millennial artists will. And that means Gen Z artists are going to market only to Gen Z. Whereas millennials have access to basically every market.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

To put it simply, a stadium promoter, he goes, the stadium says, like, hey, who should we book for the stadium to play music? Because we want to make money? And they go, sabrina Carpenter. And they say, okay, who's that? She's a massive celebrity. I mean, she's a Gen Z superstar. Wow. How many tickets does she sell? 10,000. We have 80,000 seats. No, no, no. What else we have? You got Eminem. What does he sell? 50. Okay, now we're cooking. What else do we got? You'll sell out if you do Metallica. Let's book Metallica.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You're not going to see people like Sabrina Carpenter propped up at the highest levels, because millennials are gonna go, not interested.

[B]

Well, do we think that's because of the Internet? Because Gen Z is the first generation that actually grew up with the Internet. I feel like most millennials can still remember life prior to the Internet being so prevalent.

[A]

Maybe, but it's because the way it used to work is the boomers would have a rock band, they'd listen to Zeppelin, and there's 80 million boomers.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So when they sell tickets to Zeppelin, when these people are now in their late 20s, early 30s, and they have money, they pack the stadium. But millennials are bigger. So boomers die a little bit. There's about 60 million now. They start retiring. They don't care to go to shows. There's 80 million millennials. And the promoters go, listen, if we're going to book a stadium, let's take a look. Like the millennial markets, 80 million. The boomer market, 60 million. Do the millennials now, millennials are 80 million. Gen Z is 80 million. It's the same. And they're saying, we can get Gen X and Millennials on Smashing Pumpkins. So we're not going to supreme a carpenter.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

In 10 years, there's going to be microscopic Gen Alpha, Gen Z, and they're going to say, look, we can get between Gen x and millennials, 100 million people to sell tickets. Nobody wants to see a Gen Z artist. There's no. So if you had a Gen Z artist, the younger generation is listening to them.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So with Smashing Pumpkins, Gen X was like, let's go. And then I was a little kid going, let's go. So then when we're older, we're all watching now you've got a smaller generation. So when Sabrina Carpenter pops up, there's no young people. There's only 40 million gen alpha. So when they're like, between, between Gen Z and Gen Alpha, we've got, you know, 100 million potential market and Millennials, boomers, Gen X, we still have 150. So, yeah, let's go where the money goes.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So for the first time in the past 100 years or 200 years, culture is stagnating intentionally because there's not enough individuals in the younger market to buy into new culture.

[D]

Well, I think we've, we've probably had this discussion before, but I, I think a lot of it is because, like, tastes are democratized now. So the thing with Zoomers is not only are the pallets more. If they're more diverse, they're able to access that music more easily. Because of Spotify, because of streaming. You don't just buy the album. You don't listen to the radio anymore. You just go and listen to whatever you want to listen to. So people diverge and their interests and

[B]

their tastes don't build cult followings like you used to.

[D]

You don't build cult followings. And the radio can't do. Dictate who a star is. It's impossible to.

[A]

Oh, that's, that's not true.

[D]

They can't build a superstar anymore.

[A]

They, they, they could, but it doesn't work. Spotify and Pandora and Apple Music absolutely control what music is in rotation 100%.

[D]

So I don't know anyone that listens to, like, top 50 hits on Spotify.

[A]

When you go into a rental car or in a Tesla, when you picked up the radio station, it's got the, the modern hits, streaming, and you have to select something else.

[D]

I think most people are doing their own thing.

[A]

That's true. But I suppose the difference is with, like, radio, you had 10 radio stations, now you have Infinity radio stations, so people can navigate away. They are dictating who will be on the charts by making streams happen by putting them on default rotation. Yeah, I think that's true, but it's not impactful. It's not culturally. I think. While you are largely correct. We've talked about it. I do think the issue largely has to do with bro, I got a best. I put on the radio. I know what bands I'm listening to. I'm an old man.

[D]

Right.

[A]

I have no interest in, like, I might hear a new song and be like, oh, that's pretty good.

[D]

Well, and a point.

[A]

But I'm gonna. I'm gonna put on Pearl Jam.

[D]

And a point. Well, and a point everyone misses on this issue specifically is like, the reason why. And people. This is gonna be controversial, but it's true. A large reason why genres like rock are supposedly dying out is because.

[A]

Because it's a conspiracy to shut down our people's music.

[D]

Well, no. Well, that. But yeah, that's kind of. Actually the point is that, yes, Zoomers are like the most diverse generation in history. Like half non white. So that's why, again, like, Latin artists are huge. It's not just. It's not. It's actually organic. Like Zoomers. A large proportion. The largest proportion so far of Zoomers. It's like 30% of Zoomers are historically.

[A]

No, I think while your points about ethnicity and birth and all stuff are true, the fact that in movies, in order to hit a certain tone, they have to use rock songs proves that rock actually is the dominant popular culture, but is being suppressed.

[C]

Yeah, there's.

[A]

There's. Yeah, they did that. They did that movie with Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown, the robots. And the soundtrack was Guns N Roses or something. Yeah, and I was sitting there being like brothers eighties music.

[D]

Right. Well, because. Because, like. Because if you're in Hollywood and you're. You're trying to make like a very American feeling movie, it's.

[A]

Yeah, but it was for kids. It was a movie for kids. I know when Marvel did Iron man, they did AC dc.

[D]

Yeah, because it's still like. It's still supposed to be like, oh,

[A]

name me the movie where culturally American.

[D]

And I'm saying. And I'm saying Gen Z. A lot of Gen Z isn't culturally American. They're culturally other.

[A]

Yeah, but this movie was an international film for kids. It was CGI robots.

[D]

People in China are watching Iron Man. They're thinking, that's America. Holy crap, that's so American. It's not like a Glow. It's appealing to the globe. And that's why I see a lot of these.

[A]

What I'm saying is, in terms of a soundtrack that captures an emotion, when you have a robot jumping, jumping out of the sky and he's about to slam onto the ground, they're playing Guns N Roses. When he starts fighting, it plays welcome to the Jungle. Because the statement welcome to the jungle resonates with a robot punching other robots.

[D]

Yeah, and I think it's just. I mean, yeah, I think it's primarily because it's like a culturally American movie.

[A]

But.

[D]

But people love American culture.

[A]

But this is my point. If that was the case, rock would be on the top of the charts all the time.

[D]

But that's besides. My point is that the majority of Gen Z isn't culturally American anymore.

[A]

So then I think you're missing my point, that when they make a new movie for young people, but they put Guns N Roses in it, they're saying that the emotion required in this is rock. But then for some reason, they won't put new rock songs on Apple's default player.

[D]

Yeah, because I think because the movie is culturally American and the Apple player is not.

[A]

Yeah, because the movie's for Gen Z. What are we missing here? Because they made a movie for Gen Z and for little kids.

[D]

Like, when Hispanic rock music, when, like a Hispanic person or a black person is going to watch Iron man, they're like, this is a very, like, white movie. Like Tony Stark's white. Like, it's like a culturally white America

[A]

made a billion dollars.

[D]

Yeah, because people like. So why people of caliber?

[A]

Why do the movies use 80s and early 90s rock? And Apple and Spotify won't put rock in the default. In the default modern hits.

[D]

Because culturally American sells. Like, in Hollywood, Like, Hollywood is still like, that's, like, that's the preeminent culture in the movies is like this kind of American culture where Apple music is just trying to figure out who's listening to what. And the majority of this is not logical.

[A]

Yeah, these. These movies made a billion dollars.

[D]

But I'm saying you can't marvel, you can't do a Motley Crue sound. Like, no Motley Crue is a band. But you can't do, like, random.

[A]

When. When Guardians of Galaxy came out, all of those 70 songs charted.

[D]

Yeah, because. Well, that's just.

[A]

So why won't they put these songs in rotation on Apple and Spotify?

[D]

Well, I don't know all the. I mean, if it's. If it's dictated by Them then. I don't know. I mean, presumably that's the point.

[A]

Trying to boost the point is Guardians of the Galaxy came out one and the soundtrack charted. All of the songs became massive again. Yeah, I think the highest that. What's. What was the song from Guardians 3? You know I'm talking about.

[C]

I'm not sure.

[A]

Let me. Let me find.

[D]

I mean, like, the Black Panther soundtrack charted after that movie came out because the movie was wildly popular and everyone clocked that as like, this is a culturally.

[A]

In the meantime by Space Hog. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Space Hog never charted as high as they did in the 90s with their one hit until Guardians of the Galaxy 3 came out. So you have a 90s song hitting the charts because a movie put it there, made a billion dollars, and everyone loved it. And then the music industry is like, we will not play these songs. That is intentional. That's it.

[D]

Well, again, because it's like, yeah, they're

[A]

intentionally saying, we know the music makes money and is huge and we will not play it for the people of the world. Country music, bro. You go to Japan and they're singing Country Roads. You go to India, they're singing Country Roads. They know what West Virginia is only because of how big that song is. What's that Brian Adams song? You know what I'm talking about? The biggest song in the world. I do it for you, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That was the biggest song ever. What does it do, like 100 million sales or something like this again, all of this old stuff they know sells and makes bank. Like again, the Guardian soundtrack charted a whole bunch of songs. Look at Netflix, when they played Running up that Hill and from the 80s went to number one. Why won't the labels take the music they know makes billions and put it on play? They are intentionally losing money and destroying this. It make it make sense and to

[B]

erode white American culture.

[D]

Yeah, I think maybe. I think that's the primary reason that.

[A]

That's the conspiracy theory.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That they are intentionally trying to shut out the arts that Americans traditionally created. And it's not white Americans, it's Americans in general.

[B]

Correct.

[D]

But it's not a conspiracy because they like, literally, during Black History Month, at the very front of Spotify, be like, amplifying black music. And same thing with like, whatever. The Hispanic month is like amplifying Latino voices. So it's like, no, it's not a conspiracy. They actually do admit, like, hey, we're prioritizing these artists over mainstream typically likes the kind of the nostalgia is in right now, the nostalgia is hearkening back to a time where America was a lot wider than it is. That's why most of the music in it is like white coated it.

[A]

I think that the Running up that Hill thing, like, how many weeks did Running up the Hill chart after Netflix, after Stranger Things.

[C]

Yeah, it was. It was a long, long time.

[A]

And that was like, what, season three or something?

[C]

Also drilled it into your head.

[D]

It was a tick tock song too. A lot of people using it on

[A]

Tik Tok, but same thing, Master of Puppets.

[C]

Because of. Because of.

[A]

That's right. And that charted again and it became big. And what year was like 80s?

[C]

86 is when that.

[A]

86. And so this song. Here's the crazy thing. These songs appear in a cultural reference and instantly everyone loves it. So I love the story of Yellow Lead better. Pearl Jam song that came out. What. What was it, like 95 or something? I think.

[C]

Yeah. Lead the. That record came out in 92. 10 came out in 1990.

[A]

It was not on 10. It was a B side after the fact.

[C]

So then Maybe it was 93.

[A]

It might have been 4. 94 was the year for everything. The story is that pearl jam released 10 and. And yellow Ledbetter was not on the album because they didn't have room for it. And everybody loved the music so much that the radio stations were trying to find. They were desperate for new Pearl Jam. So a B side was released in the uk and that was Yellow Leadbetter, the song Yellow Better. I forgot the. I don't know what the B side was called. And so this radio station plays it and it was the first time a song charted without being commercially available, so you couldn't buy it. But people heard it and they loved it.

[C]

It was released in 92 as the B side to Jeremy.

[A]

Oh, okay. 92. Wow.

[C]

The record came out in 91.

[A]

There you go. So my point is, it used to be an organic cultural phenomenon happened.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then everyone said, we love this and it became number one. So now you have music that we know, the majority of them, a genre that does better than everything else. Like the stuff Sabrina Carpenter, for instance. It's a catchy summer bop, espresso. But most people wouldn't know it. You go to a bar and you play it. People are like, what? Well, you go to a bar and you play Pearl Jam. Everyone knows the words.

[B]

It. It phases out too. Like, I never hear espresso anymore.

[A]

Of course.

[B]

Yeah, like that. That's the thing. But like, I.

[A]

So. So ultimately My point is these new songs they keep trying to make don't make money. They, they're big. But again, Sabrina Carpenter sells arenas, not stadiums. Rock hits. And everyone knows it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So why not just play those songs?

[D]

Well, there's also, there's also this thing that happens where like modern society needs a soundtrack. Modern, the modern world. World needs a soundtrack. And eventually that hits capacity. Christmas music. This happened to it 20 years ago where like maybe early aughts was like the last few songs made it in and then boom, shut. We have, we have enough songs. The, the Christmas soundtrack has enough songs. That's what's happening. Like the modern world is. We've hit capacity. There's enough hits that everyone knows we don't need anymore. That's why when you go to a wedding, they'll play a song from the 50s or the 60s. I, I, everyone knows it at every age.

[A]

It's cultural stagnation. That's what it is. We're full. But we need, you know, we should write a Thanksgiving song. Name me one Thanksgiving song. Now Thanksgiving, that is pure America right there. Yeah, but there is no song. Yeah, a bunch of Christmas songs. We got Halloween music from Nightmare Before Christmas that'll last forever.

[D]

No, but there's something to like the concept of like Halloween, the stuck culture where at some point Danny Elfman.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Man. Guys, can we just accept that we peaked in 94 and we've been all downhill since then?

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Every, all of the greatest songs ever produced were 1994.

[C]

The only people in this room that were alive in 94 were me and Tim.

[A]

Well, Carter, you know, like four.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

So he was sitting there giggling as every album, all the greatest albums ever made ever were released.

[C]

The 90s were an amazing time for music. Like you couldn't have a band like, like Primus nowadays, whether or not you like actually enjoy Primus, music like Primus really was a very fresh sounding different band. There' a lot of bands in the 90s that had a really fresh and new style.

[D]

Cuz also in the 90s like you could be serious about things and still be perceived as cool. Where with Zoomers everything has to be like, with a like degree of irony. So if you actually try to be serious and produce something serious, everyone thinks it's cringe and gay.

[A]

I know we went out this before, but throwing Copper Live was 1994.

[C]

Yeah bro.

[A]

What else do we have?

[D]

We have sincerity is the most cringe thing you could possibly do.

[A]

Offspring Smash. Those guys suck. But you know, I'll give them in

[B]

light of the Internet, too, where everything needs to be, like, provocative in some sort.

[D]

Charlie Kirk dies, and now my reels are all Charlie Kirk means Stone Temple

[A]

Pilots, Purple Monster, RM Weezer Blue album. I'll give. I'll give REM A little bit there. They were good. Motley Crew Whole live through this. That was fun. Oasis, oh, Lunar Strain, Pearl Jam, Vitalogy, Green Day, Dookie, Sound Garden, Super Unknown. Come on. A lot of these albums unplugged. A lot of the music that we

[C]

Burn My Eyes by Burn My Eyes and Low by Testament came out. Dude, the Bleeding was released.

[A]

There was this post I saw right out a while ago. A while ago. It said every song you recognize from the 90s actually was just 1994. And it was. It's not literally every song, but there's like 30 huge, like, melancholy was 94. Melancholy, infinite sadness. And what was. Was. Was when was in utero. That was 94, right?

[C]

In utero.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I've been earlier than maybe 93.

[A]

Yeah, I think In Utero was.

[D]

But, like, Zoomers have this equivalent where we harken back to 2016.

[A]

Yeah, it was 93.

[B]

Yeah, that's very, very true. Yep. Yep. Because 2016 this year, everybody. Yeah, everybody at the beginning of this year was like, are we going to channel 2016 energy for 2026?

[A]

Well, that's when the Large Hadron Collider turned on, you know, at CERN and warped reality for the worse.

[D]

Yeah. And there's, like, certain music that takes me back to 2016, like Hughes album by Drake. When I hear that, I just think about summer 2016, and, like, you're cringing, but, like, Zoomers may be able to actually communicate that to their children. And then it could turn into Hotline Blink. Could turn into, like, kind of.

[A]

I'm sorry. Like, do you know the song 1979? That's right. That song came out before you were born.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And you know what it is?

[D]

And I think there's certain songs among Zoomers that could get passed down to their children.

[A]

You know, it was really fun to see.

[D]

We just have to see.

[A]

We're going to go to the Rumble. Rants and chats and all that. But these. All these, like, MTG woke nerds are really mad because I pointed out that magic is a game of chance and skill and that it's never been subject to what we've been talking about, this gambling stuff. And so this, like, this guy says he can beat me at magic, and I'm just like. The first thing I point out is I love human beings because humans have this great capability to assume they are stronger, smarter and better than literally everybody, no matter what. Like, here am I, a guy who's played Magic for 30 plus years. It's 32 years now with a half a million dollar Magic the Gathering collection, a ridiculous amount of magic cards, winning tons of tournaments and playing very seriously most of my life. And this guy's just like, I could take him and it's like, bro, like, by all means you can say, I don't know, maybe, maybe I could. That's fine to say, but like, going on Twitter like, Tim Pool's a dumbass, I'll beat him. But my favorite part in the reason I bring this up is that this woman then tweeted something like, right wing chuds think they're good at magic or whatever as a cope. And then my response was just like, you know, the craziest thing to me is that I was winning tournaments before you even existed. That's like, I'm not saying to be a dick. It's just kind of a crazy thought to me that like, she was 26 and I was like, man, I had actually already been playing for like five or six years when you were born. Like, you were literally in the hospital screaming, and I was winning like, tournaments. It's just a crazy thought, you know? Yeah, it's just like, wow, look where we are culturally stagnated. But it is kind of weird to me that we're not doing new things. And I think it has to do with the fact that there's no babies.

[B]

Yeah, but I also, it's very interesting because both, both your points on the music are the fact that we're like yearning for nostalgia and what we grew

[A]

up with part of the. How old are you?

[B]

I'm 25.

[A]

Yeah. You guys didn't grow up with this music.

[B]

No, no, no.

[A]

You have.

[B]

I did because it's what my parents played for.

[A]

No, but I mean, sure, but there, there was something, there was an article written about this that Gen Z is experiencing like anachronistic nostalgia. Like they were born after the 90s, but long for the 90s.

[D]

But, you know, I, I think like, people have always experienced that. I mean, I think like our parents, my parents at least, like, they watch like the Andy Griffith show and they find tremendous nostalgia on that. But they were alive in the the 50s and 60s.

[A]

I think this is different.

[D]

I don't balance with Zoomers, but I think that has existed.

[A]

The things that, in my mind, I'm like, those are the Days are the phone rings, and me and my brother running full speed to answer the phone before the other could. Because we just wanted to answer the phone. There's no cell phones. Thursday night, the new episode of the Simpsons comes on, and my dad yells, it's on. And then we all run into the living room like the Simpsons to watch it. And then commercial break. You run in the kitchen, grab the Doritos. Going to Blockbuster Video on Friday after school to pick out the video game to rent for the weekend. That was all 90s. I have. I have no nostalgic feeling for the 80s. I wasn't there.

[B]

I mean, but I also think that you were there.

[A]

But, you know, the 90s were better. See, that proves it.

[C]

90s. I mean, I was. I was young in the 80s. I was like, you know, I was born in 75, so I was only a teenager for a couple of years.

[B]

But I think a lot of this is, like, rejecting or, like, rejecting the Internet. Rejecting the things that we recognize even though we're not willing to get, give them up. But the things that we recognize actually degrade society, degrade culture. And we're recognizing that that is superior art. So we long for it, bro.

[A]

I got it.

[D]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[A]

I'm going to buy 200 acres in, like, Montana, and we are going to create Springfield. We're going to call it Springfield. And it's not a Simpsons reference. It's a generic town name. And it will be law that you cannot bring in technology war cultural practices post 1999 here for it.

[D]

It's like the Amish just updated.

[A]

Someone comes in. Someone comes in playing like, I don't know. Well, that obviously. But I was gonna say, like, 2003, you know, backstreet Boys or Puddle of Mud.

[D]

Out firing squad,

[A]

right to jail.

[C]

I grew up in a town, or I'm from a town that is directly north of Springfield, Massachusetts.

[A]

We are going to create a town where it's frozen in time and you show up. And as soon as you walk in, everyone's like, you can't wear clothes. Like, everyone has to wear shankos.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

No, no, no, no. That wasn't rock culture. You got to wear jeans with ripped knees and flannel shirts over white T shirts.

[D]

Japan kind of did that. They just got to, like, the 90s, and they're like, we're keeping most of this. And then there's, like, they. They're very sensitive to, like, introduce new things. I walked into fax machines everywhere. I was like, what's going on I've

[A]

got a business idea if anybody's interested. It's not that I need an investor, it's that we need a manager to make it happen. I need a business partner that I can fund all this, but someone's got to run it. Here's the idea.

[B]

Springfield, Montana.

[A]

It is a hotel with five two bedroom units and each unit is a decade. You have 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, maybe we can do a 50s. When you go into the 80s apartment and you rent it for however long, there's a phone on the wall. When you turn the TV on, it plays television from that time. So if it's a Friday, we will pick a period like 1984 on a Friday and have the actual television where you can change the knob and put on whatever TV shows were on. And when you want to order food from like Domino's or pizza, whatever existed back then, they will show up in the appropriate uniform carrying the appropriate things. You will be back in time. And you could do a 90s one where you are in a house in the 90s and the windows will be TV screens and when you look out the window it will just be the 90s. We've talked about doing this. There's one big constraint and that is the high propensity for suicides. I am not joking. That was one. Whenever we bring this up, the concern is some middle aged dude who got divorced seven years ago is going to go to the 90s room and he's going to sit there in the bedroom with like all the posters from all the bands from when he was a kid, start crying and then take his own life. And we were like, so how do you do it? Because like there is that powerful depression and nostalgia, you know? Yeah.

[D]

People that go to like that lengths to engage in like nostalgia that's typically the sign of like either ization or like trauma. But not a psychologist, to be fair.

[A]

Would it not be the greatest thing ever to book like two nights at a hotel where as long as you're in this phone is on the wall and like it's a, it's a 90s experience.

[D]

It probably exists in Japan. I know to keep bringing it up

[A]

for people with Alzheimer's. Oh yeah, in a good way. Perpetually there.

[D]

Just describing.

[A]

We are, we are going to grab your rumble rants and super chats. So smash the like button, share the show and all that good stuff. Let's see what you got. We got Evan for us, as Trump said that the operation in Iran will end and I think one or two Weeks. We shall see. Well, he's got a big announcement tomorrow. He may end, it's over. I mean, he may announce it's the end. He may end, it's over. He may say, we're done, we're done, Mission accomplished. I honestly think based on that big thread, one of his strategies may have been to intentionally shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Because it's strangled. It puts tremendous pressure on a whole bunch of other countries and locks. So long as he says, we're done with these campaigns, we're gonna keep some troops in the region just for stability. And then he intentionally lets Strait of Hormuz be closed. Everyone's got to buy from us.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yep.

[C]

That would be hilarious.

[A]

All right, AK Storm says for everyone. How much denaturalization would you guys be comfortable with if birthright citizenship is overturned? Should 30 year old citizens with illegal parents be booted? No, I would, I would say like six months. I would say 30 year old. If it was birth tourism, yes. If there is a 30 year old guy living in China who was born here and he doesn't live here, we just void that right away. Don. No exploitation. I don't care how long it's been. But if there's someone who's been living here and they're 30 years old and they've only ever lived here and the guy's name is like, you know, you know, let's say his name was Juan Gonzalez and he speaks Spanish, but he also speaks English and he likes the Yankees. I'm like, he's born here, he's a citizen. I'm not worried about it. We're not going to denaturalize people like that. The big concern is birth tourism and manipulation, exploitation.

[C]

Hasan Piker.

[D]

I'm, I'm pretty aggressive on, on like re migration policies. Like, I think they should evaluate entire communities that have refused to assimilate. I think it's like if you have any loyalty to another country, what, three, four generations, at that point, your citizenship is just paperwork primarily. I mean, again, this is the, this is the truth is a lot of those Somalis are here legally. They got all their paperwork and a lot of them were born in Somalia. A lot of these were born in Somalia. Same thing in Dearborn. Actually, the majority of those people in Dearborn were born in Michigan. So it's like the d. Natural. It just doesn't feel good because it's like. Well, they like a lot of the same cultural things that I do. But really when you drill down to like, what's actually important to you. How do you evaluate world? They don't have that much in common.

[A]

They're trying to ban dogs, right?

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Uk yeah.

[D]

They're in a different world. So it's like, I think. I think you got to get aggressive. I think you got to, like, really evaluate entire communities. And, I mean, there could be room for exceptions, obviously, as there always is, but no, exceptions don't disprove the norm, and you got to really get a little aggressive with these types of things.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

All right, let's see. We got Bill Dozer says Christine Stays stays strapped and calls him Miss Piggy while doing the Kermit voice.

[B]

Wow.

[D]

Well, Priya, what was your take on that last one? Because that's. That's an interesting question.

[B]

Oh, no, I was just going to say I completely agree. I mean, we look at places like little. Little Mogadishu in Minnesota, and these people are completely defrauding our country. They're literally ripping off our country and, you know, and the American taxpayer, and they're not benefiting the system at all. I don't really care if they're here legally or not. There has to be. There has to be a line that we draw in terms of you're either a benefit to this country and you assimilate and take on our cultures and norms and value them, or you get the hell out.

[D]

Yeah, absolutely.

[C]

I think that the. The more we can do to make sure that the people that are in the United States are here because they actually care about our society and care about the values that we have, the better. You're not going to make America worse by getting rid of people that hate America.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Snozberry says, as a Californian, I renounce my Californian citizenship. Don't lock me in with these monsters.

[D]

It's so sad because it's like. It's so sad because it's like California really is. It is geographically the crown jewel of the United States. Like, that's as good as it gets geographically. They have everything. It's the envy of the world. And it's being. This is why Democrats go after the most vital parts of, like, American society. This is why you look on the Christianity side. That's why they targeted the Episcopal Church first, because it's like, what could. What epitomizes American Christianity more than the church that, like, 32 presidents were a part of?

[A]

Yeah, go, go.

[B]

It's okay. Like, I mean, you look at California specifically, and we've talked a lot about culture in the last hour or so, and I mean, California is kind of the epitome of culture worldwide. I mean, you just look at Hollywood and obviously that is like, really, really gone downhill, especially recently. But, like, that really dictated the type of culture that we, especially in the west, had.

[D]

But McDonald's cars, everything.

[A]

D Sage says. I agree with Tim on the rock idea. The next Gundam Hathaway Flash is using Sweet Child of Mine. Take. Take the L. A Japanese movie is using US Music.

[D]

That's what I mean. Because America. That doesn't disprove what I'm saying at all. I'm saying American culture is the envy of the world. Of course people are going to emulate American culture. And what we've seen from the Japanese posters is when they think of American culture, they're not thinking of like black or Hispanic culture. They're thinking of like, my name's Mike, Mike Stevenson, and I need. It's like blonde. Like blonde flowers.

[A]

Did you see the list of. There was a Nintendo game where a Japanese programmer had to create a bunch of American names.

[D]

Right. And it's like. Like Anglo like names.

[A]

No, it was just all gibberish.

[D]

Yeah, but they're like broadly like Johnny Stevenson and stuff like that. It's always. It's always names that like, sound close to like one specific etymology. And that's. That's my point. That's my point again. It's like, it's not to say anything. It's just to my initial point, like

[A]

the sleeve McDykel, Anson Sweeney, Daryl Archadeld, Anatoly Smorin, Ray McScrip, McSriff, Glenn Allen Mixon, Kevin Nogilney, Tony Smear, Smerrick Bobson Dugnut. Here's a Dean Wesley. Mike Truck, Dwig Ital, Carl Dandleton.

[B]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

Todd Benzales.

[D]

Through a bone there.

[A]

Portuguese. I think I'm at a Portuguese Bobson Dougnut. That's the best.

[D]

Mike Truck is my favorite.

[A]

Mike Truck.

[C]

Great name.

[D]

Yeah. Steve Strong and.

[A]

All right, Holdren says we need to make ballot. Harvested ballots have a stupid process involved for it to be considered valid, to make it so that only the people that care will vote that way. Agreed. All right, let's grab one more four. One, two shows us. Please let the people know about Bill HR 7166. It will ban the online sale of ammo. Contact your representatives.
