Kamala Harris formally conceded to Donald Trump earlier today. It's done. Every single corporate press outlet has said Donald Trump has won. Kamala Harris has given up. And boy, are they salty about it. Now you'd think...

Democrats and Democrat strategists would learn a lesson after watching Latino voters and black men vote for Donald Trump. Nope, they didn't. They just said that they're all sexist, racist, and white supremacist, and it's exactly what you'd expect. But we do have some big updates. Looks like the DOJ is winding down its cases against Donald Trump. Yeah, they're not going to go after a sitting president, I guess, but...

Trump is still supposed to be sentenced to prison in New York State. So I suppose it's just going to get a bit interesting. So today on this most auspicious of days, we'll be going through the cope and the seethe from all of these Democrats and many who don't want to accept it. And with all due respect, those who have.

But boy, wait till you see the projections these liberals had for what they thought was going to happen. It is wild how detached from reality they really are. Now, before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy some coffee. We got really great coffee. We got Ian's Graphene Dream.

Gentlemen and lady, it's nice to be here. You want to grab that mic and try and get it? Yeah, close enough. There you go. There you go. I think everybody knows you, but for those that don't, who are you? What do you do? Well, I am the author. I have to plug my book. I was here on election night. I was so excited. I didn't get to plug my book. I want every single person in your audience to go out and buy A Woman Underground, my new mystery novel. I've been a mystery novelist. I'm an award-winning mystery novelist. I'm not a

I'm not a commentator for The Daily Wire who writes mysteries. I'm a mystery writer who commentates for The Daily Wire. If everybody goes out and buys it and puts it on the bestseller list, we will own this country forever. You know, you've got to learn the secret technique that Michael Knowles had. You're familiar? I have to imitate Michael Knowles. I'm leaving. He turned his book sales into a meme for my audience, and they started super chatting tricks to get me to read what turned...

turn into a promo. So something- What was the name of that book? Speechless by Michael Knowles. And they'd say, Tim, I really need to comment on how serious this is. It's left me speechless. Just like the book by Michael Knowles, available now on Amazon.

That was one of the best ad campaigns I've ever seen. This is how to take back the culture. To support the arts, right? Women underground. Absolutely. Seamus Coughlin is hanging out. Speaking of supporting the arts, I'm Seamus Coughlin, creator of Freedom Tunes, which is the highest art in the conservative sphere as far as I'm aware at this point. We're really creating classical stuff. But no, we released a cartoon today that is performing phenomenally well. It is one of our most...

quickly accumulating videos, at least within the first hour after its release. So it's doing really well. It's called The Good Ending. You can guess what it's about. It's Seamus' magnum opus. Tim says it's my magnum opus. I mean, listen, I was happy to put it together. We have released a cartoon every single day this week. So if you want to help us keep that output up, go over there, subscribe,

Okay, gang, if you're going to ask me if I do the Ben Shapiro imitation, I'm going to have to say I can't do that because I was talking all night about the election, so my voice is gone, and I'm not able to do impressions as accurately as I usually can. Okay, gang?

Andrew is getting the shakes. Mary's hanging out. Hi, my name is Mary Morgan. My show at TimCast is called Pop Culture Crisis. I was here last night. I think we're all still really loopy, but riding the high of last night. So I'm happy to be back right now.

I'm Shane Cashman. I feel great. I'm the host of Inverta World Live, and I'm very happy that the American people rejected the party of Barack Obama and Dick Cheney. Amazing. It looks like we're like the fat ones. You're so decadent, like you won the bet. What's up, Bill? Maybe the greedy ones, as I was saying.

Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. And let's go, Tim. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, the big news from NPR. Harris concedes the election but vows to not stop fighting for a better future. Violent rhetoric, by the way. Now, hold on there, friends. Yes.

Look at that beautiful headline. She concedes, but she vows not to stop fighting. How do you think the AP wrote about Donald Trump's victory? Yeah. Let's show it. Badly. AP said Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday. An extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.

That, my friends, is called a run-on sentence. And it shows you that not only are they emotionally damaged, they're stupid. I just want to say, if anyone in the Democratic Party has any level of self-awareness, they're going to look at Kamala and say, maybe you should stop fighting. Maybe you're not the person who we wanted before in front of the movie. You can sit this one. You've earned it, you know? Relax. She's going to start an OnlyFans now because she has nothing better to say. I told everyone that you tweeted that last night. I saw it. So there was a stark moment.

at her concession and that's when a squirrel ran across the stage and it was an omen. It was a remote controlled squirrel. Never forget of a scream. I don't know. I thought it was God who sent us a sign that vengeance for Peanut had begot. It was beautiful that Peanut took the stage like that. Or Peanut's brother

The ghost of peanuts. The ghost of peanuts. That's the next mystery book. Which is also Seamus' magnum opus. Yeah, we did a, listen, if you guys want to go over there and check it out, it's really short. It's only, it's actually just under a minute. Maybe that's why it's my magnum opus. People just, you know, I overstay my welcome the rest of the time. So let's just, we'll just jump over to our good friends at The View. There was a really, Trump Jr. had a great tweet. Candace Owens had a great tweet saying, we can't wait to watch The View.

And what do you think their response was? I think they accepted it gracefully.

and said that this is what the American people want. Four of them are wearing black and mourning shirts. I just want to say something about the Democrats in general before we play this. Tim, earlier in the show, I think you're spreading a bit of misinformation. You said the Democrats didn't learn a lesson here. They did learn a lesson. The lesson is that you're wrong for the way you voted. The lesson was not we need better candidates. The lesson is the American people are wrong. There are liberals legitimately tweeting

Kamala didn't have a campaign problem. The United States has a problem. I saw that. One of these chicks used to work for Trump, right? The one on the far right of the table. Oh, yeah. I used to work for Trump and now she pretends like she doesn't like him. And then Whoopi Goldberg also used to love Trump and pretends she never loved Trump. Let's play this clip. It's pretty short. I mean...

Aside from buck naked dancing on the top of the table, I don't know what else she could have done. Yeah, that would have cost her a lot of votes. She said definitely would have helped her. I think she left it all out on the field. I think she raised a billion dollars in three months. I think that she did. She ran a flawless campaign and I maintain that. I think now it's the time for us to work. So I want to just say this in response to this video.

A lot of people are saying that they're delusional and they're crazy and they can't admit it. No, no, no, no, no. No, no. I fully accept everything they said. Kamala did run a flawless campaign. As flawless a campaign a crackpot far-left cultist could run. And that means America says your ideas are garbage. It could not have been better. There was nothing she could have done to sell this trash to the American people. I agree. There's a common theme that I was noticing today is that a lot of people are very...

very quick to say that America wasn't good enough for Kamala. - That's right. - I'm not kidding. - You're right. - They're saying that America is an inherently bad place, and this speaks to the opinions that they have of America and of the people in America.

that America's inherently bad, America's inherently racist, America's inherently sexist, and it's all of these negative things. These people don't love what our country stands for. They don't love the founding ideals of small government, of individuals rising up and taking care of themselves independently of the government. And you can hear it when they say, well, you know, you're not good enough for me. It speaks of racism.

significant arrogance. And it's, it speaks of, um, just a, a, a bad worldview where they are, are, they are the goodness and the rest of the world falls short of their goodness. It's almost like, and I, I'm not, not that I'm one to speak about religious, uh,

religious ideas, because I'm not particularly religious, but it speaks to the idea that I am the god, and the rest of the world must meet my expectations. You know, that's exactly right. First of all, they wanted to get rid of the electoral college before. Now they have to get rid of the popular vote. Which, by the way, they're not beyond trying to do. But they do that all the time, too. Every structure we have, they wanted the Supreme Court gone because they lost the majority there. They want free speech gone because they've lost the argument. I'm actually...

I agree with Democrats completely on their plans to stack the Supreme Court with six more justices. Just we'll wait until January 21st. Their former plan is that the plan has gone by the boards. I mean, Trump said he wants to be more moderate and heal the country. He should give the left one of the policies they want. He should say, I will stack the Supreme Court.

You guys have been saying that you want this forever. Let's do this. We'll help the American people. Realistically, there's probably going to be one Supreme Court justice that will retire in the next... Maybe two. Maybe two in the next four years. And so hopefully, if things go right, we can get two more, you know, Clarence Thomases. Yeah. Unfortunately, he's going to be one of the guys who'll step down. Unfortunately. So, you know...

So that means we got to get another one of him and maybe a second, maybe a, you know, someone that's reminiscent of Scalia, but someone, you know, an originalist. You got to invent cloning. Wouldn't that be great? I mean, I understand it's probably harder to find someone that has that kind of pure understanding or that pure look on, on, you know, the originalist ideas, but that is really what we need because it's,

because Judge Napolitano says this all the time, either the Constitution, either the words mean what they say or they don't. And if they don't mean what they say, then they're meaningless. So there's no point in having a Constitution unless it means what it says. - I love that. - Yeah. - Whenever we get these favorable rulings in the Supreme Court, the left is like, "The Supreme Court is white supremacy." And it's like Clarence Thomas with the majority opinion. - Yeah. - Well, I wanna say two things about this. Firstly, this clip, and then secondly, something about how the left is responding to this generally.

She makes an argument that I don't think she realizes is a complete and total self-owned. She says Kamala Harris was a great candidate. She raised over a billion dollars. Yeah, she had a lot of money thrown at her and still lost. That's what you're saying. Her campaign having significantly more money than Trump and her still losing is not...

A fact in her favor. And I also want to mention this. Donald Trump is a unique candidate. Donald Trump is a unique candidate because he's the only candidate in decades to win two elections despite being overspent by his opponent. That doesn't usually happen. But the second thing I want to say is we're getting this hilarious take from a lot of left wingers where they're posting all over Twitter.

you know, I'm very confused. How can it be the case that I am correct about everything all the time and that Donald Trump won? I'm trying to square this. They're like basically saying this without any irony. How could it be the case? It's like, because you're wrong about everything. They're incapable of introspection. You know, they actually do, there actually is a Marxist idea, direct from Marx, that you can tell something is right or true if it helps the revolution come about. So in other words,

- You can't ever be wrong. - It's zealotry. It's religious or it's a cult like fervor. - Tim's exactly right. It is religious. And it's also speaks to the idea that there are no, without a God, and again, I'm not the guy to speak on religious things. - We're gonna change that. - I'm fairly innocent. But without a God to actually dictate what is moral and what is good, then there is no moral or good other than what helps you

the ends that you're after. And that's one of the things that the left does all the time. Can I ask you something? Because without a God, and I don't believe in God because I think he makes me nice. I don't believe in God because I think it's good for the republic. I believe in God because I think he's there. You know, I actually believe he's there. And one of the reasons I believe he's there

there is if you take them away, everything goes away. The meaning of your body, you know, when they say, oh yeah, you can become a woman, they're right if there's no God. The reason you can't is because your body has meaning. So I say that I'm not the best guy to speak on religion because I'm not someone that has a...

Not someone that has like the actual faith. Like I believe that you, I believe if you're going to speak on faith, you actually have to believe it. You're going to speak on a religion. Yeah. And, and I'm, I'm, I've got way too many questions and I'm way too agnostic to say that I know. I, I used to be, used to think I was an atheist, but I call myself agnostic because there's way more that I don't know than I do know. Yeah. So, um, real quick, real quick. Cause we had, we had a super chat come in and just remind him of something. I didn't Rudyard say Trump would win.

Yeah, I think he did. Rudyard Lynch of What If Alt History, Serge is nodding yes. We had him on the show a couple times over the past few weeks, and he's predicting 1,000 deaths, politically related deaths, by April. And part of his prediction was that Donald Trump would win. Would win?

What do you mean? Deaths? Political death? Yeah, he believes... What does that mean? He believes that we're going to see insurgency and violence from the left following Donald Trump's victory. Oh, wow. You know, I actually don't agree with that. I was saying that Trump would... I've been saying that Trump would win the popular vote and the electoral vote for weeks. Really? Yes. Oh, yeah. You called it. I did call it. And the reason I called it was not because I'm good at observing polls. It's because I'm good at observing the culture. And I think the fact...

has actually changed everything without people realizing it happened. Kind of-- it kind of came in slowly, and so we don't really realize how much the culture has changed. But I think because of that, they can be seen now. They used to move in a, a...

shield of invisibility created by the media. And they realize they can be seen. If they go out and burn down buildings, we see them. And we think, oh, that's the left. You can't have these kind of George Floyd things where everybody goes, oh, we deserve this anymore because they did it once. That's all you get. You get to burn down buildings once. Now we get it. They're the ones who silence people. They're the ones who burn down buildings. The internet was the daylight onto that. There hasn't been much

like rioting or violence today. No, no, no, not at all. There's just a lot of whining on Twitter. And like my favorite part has just been seeing the horseshoe theory borne out where all of these women who voted for Kamala and call themselves radical feminists are now like vowing to lives of celibacy because they're worried. No,

that there's going to be a federal abortion ban. And not just that, it's not just a fear of an abortion ban. It's really just their anger at men who are collectively to blame for Trump's victory. So they're like, you don't get to have sex with me anymore.

It's like I'm taking away the carrot. Conservatives are like, oh no. Please don't. We've been telling you not to have sex with men who you wouldn't have children with. Please listen. Well, the white dudes for Harris threatened a sex strike if Kamala lost and then she lost. Women are talking about getting sterilized. They're talking about getting their tubes tied right now. It's the most insane response. Despite the fact

that blue states still are completely unrestricted across the board. They don't understand. And have been this whole time. They don't know it's true. They actually genuinely don't understand. I want to jump to this tweet that Phil had sent me earlier. This is from Kaneko the Great. He says, I'm assuming it's a he, in 2016 there was no peaceful transition of power. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party weaponized the FBI, DOJ, and legacy media to frame Donald Trump as a Russian agent. I'm going to pause there and just insert as a traitor to this country. Mm-hmm.

They lied to a FISA court multiple times to secure wiretaps and surveillance on Trump and his team. For years, federal agency heads fed disinformation to the media to undermine the duly elected president, the first populist outsider in recent history. The same media that dismissed Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation perpetuated the very fine people hoax. Portrayed Joe Biden as sharp as a tack.

Lied to the public about the integrity of the 2020 election. Russiagate, along with disinformation campaigns and social media censorship from the left, fueled widespread distrust and deep frustration with our institutions, ultimately leading to the events of January 6th.

Meanwhile, the left supported BLM protests that caused billions in damages across American cities. I'm going to add to this, as also resulted in 30 plus deaths. Yeah. Yet continues to focus on January 6th because they are obsessed with the smearing of President Trump and his supporters while projecting moral superiority. For Trump supporters who now represent the majority of the country, there was no peaceful transfer of power in 2016. Russiagate was always seen as the real insurrection, a coordinated attempt by the Washington establishment, unelected bureaucrats,

and national institutions to overthrow the American people's choice for president. And they framed Donald Trump as a Russian asset, a traitor to this nation. So now I say this, we must be reasoned, but there must be accountability. I do not think it is good if people are saying, haha, abuse this, abuse that. No, no, no, no, no, hold on. We are going to be like stern parents. Donald Trump must appoint

a great AG, a deputy AG, a good head of the CIA, a good FBI, head of the FBI, and we're going to get warrants and it's going to be legitimate. And the people who lied to fabricate evidence and arrest their political opponents shall be held accountable as our Constitution and codified law prescribes. Absolutely. The fact that

It had not occurred to me, and I was aware of all of the things that had happened, but until I read this, it hadn't actually occurred to me. This is true. There was no peaceful transfer of power. When the establishment and the existing government

or the outgoing administration in conjunction with the administration that thought that they were entitled to power, used their connections with the bureaucracy, the existing bureaucracy, to attack the incoming president. That's an attack on the United States. That's an attack on America's choice for president. And furthermore, all of the behavior that happened, all of the violence that happened in 2020,

- All of that. - So like the media-- - The whole point of it was to attack America and make Americans afraid. They perpetrated the biggest attack on America since 9/11

It was an attack on the American people without question. And it was done invisibly. Yeah. The media industrial complex covered for them. And they made them, the governments of Obama seem like the victims, right? And then they projected onto Trump that he was the one doing all the bad things with the transfer of power. Anyone that knew what was going on, anyone that knew that they were lying about all of

all of the George Floyd stuff, all of those people should be investigated. All of them should be investigated. And if they are found to have actually knowingly lied to the American people and that led to riots and stuff like that, they should be prosecuted. It's amazing that they hunted down people who were passing by the Capitol on January 6th, put them away for long sentences, but nobody has been put away for burning down Minneapolis.

Yeah. Unfathomable. But not even Minneapolis. It was the insurrection of May 20th. I call it, what is it, M29? In 2020, when they firebombed the White House grounds, firebombed St. John's Church, forced the president into an emergency bunker, and the media collectively laughed and called him bunkers.

Right. They raided the Kavanaugh hearings. And they said it was really, really mean that he used the police to get the protesters out of the way, the rioters out of the way, so that he could go to the church across the street. And they lied about that, too. They lied about it. Yes. That's right. And I just want to make this point here. Yeah.

about what the regime has been doing because it's not just the case that all of these horrible things happen. We also know that Obama was wiretapping him when he was running for president and everyone laughed at that. But when Obama does something like that, it's never considered dictatorial. And I actually think that there's a really important reason for that, which is everybody knows

that the left-wing machine is not about any singular personality. And it's true that no political movement should be about a single human person besides Jesus Christ. But...

The reality is it's this conglomeration of ideas. It's about the revolution. It's about forwarding their cause. And there's actually something I would argue fundamentally satanic about that. The venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said that God says, I am who I am. And so Satan says, I am who I'm not. He convinces people he doesn't exist.

And the regime as it currently exists doesn't ever want to have one specific personality that they can point to as their sole figurehead. It's always someone who's continuing the revolution. Whereas Donald Trump, while he is supporting our cause, is clearly a once-in-a-generation political figure who is acting of his own volition as well. He was a wrecking ball.

So his behavior is actually seen as personal rather than some kind of vague adherence to systemic mechanisms. There's two things about that. First of all, it's operational. It allows people to avoid consequences. If you don't have someone you can blame, then if there are multiple people, which is

Part of the reason why everyone is so happy with Joe Biden being an empty suit, all of the people around him were making the decisions, all of the people in his security council and secretary of state, et cetera. They were making the decisions, but then you could never really pin anything on Biden.

on who was actually to blame. And two, the fact that there is no one person to blame, it's just like you were saying, like it is kind of the operation of like the

what you would call like evil people, right? Can I not blame Hillary Clinton? No, Hillary Clinton's never done anything wrong. But that's the reality, right? Like the people who do the bidding of the revolution and of their movement are never going to get in trouble for anything that they do. But it's also the case that their actions aren't seen as personal in any way. Like it's never indicative of their character, right?

It's like, well, they were doing what they had to do in this position that they were put in. Well, that's because they're always trying to forward the revolution. Exactly. Exactly. It's also redefined our manners, our manners and morals. So if they say, oh, you're a Nazi, they're not being boorish or cruel or unkind. Where Trump says, you're an idiot, then suddenly, oh, my God, that's how could he say that? We saw this guy.

You saw this guy cry over a pager joke being made on CNN after he just called the guy who was talking to a Nazi? Yeah, funny. That was a funny joke, too. It was a very funny joke. It was like, grow up, dude. Get over it. But then you had, I believe it was a day later, on...

the hills rising, the conservative host walked off the show at their break, didn't come back, show was canceled because this woman, this lady was calling other ones, said, you have Nazi writings. I'm not gonna bring that up. So when the hills rising, no, no, no, no. This is some lady. And it was, I believe Amber Duke. And then after the show went to break, we'll be right back. She didn't come back. And she's like, I'm not gonna sit down with someone who calls me a Nazi. If those are the rules they wanna play by, those are the rules we're gonna play by. Yeah.

And we should. We really, it's amazing. I can't tell you how amazing it is that we don't need them anymore. We do not need them anymore. We don't need to get their information, their misinformation. They have a couple of things. They have tremendous computing, reporting power. So the New York Times can still dispatch reporters to places we can't get to yet. And that's important. And they have this cultural machinery, infrastructure that

You know, I've been banging this drum for 20 years. 20 years ago, when I first went to a conservative meeting, because I'd been out of the country, I'd lived out of the country for seven years, I came back and I thought, oh my God, we've lost the country. I went to conservative meetings and I said, don't you understand, we're not losing the country at the ballot box, we're losing it at the movie theater. And they looked at me like, what are you talking about? And we don't have an infrastructure. We have no awards. We don't give artists awards. We have no movie awards.

company. We keep thinking, well, can't we get Hollywood to do this? I worked in Hollywood for years. No, we can't. We have to do it. We have to do it ourselves. Do you think something else will now take its place because Hollywood's dead? I mean, all these celebrities, they trotted out. None of it meant anything to anyone. Oh, no. Yeah. I mean, why do you want to hear when it's a working class movement that's raising Trump, why do you want to hear from George Clooney, who, you know, broadcasting from his...

mansion. I was undecided until I heard from Oprah. Well, it's also so hilarious how in locks that they are. It's true that the Democrats are better in some sense at cooperating than the Republicans are just because we have different instincts. But it almost seemed to be the case that you had fewer members of the Democratic Party endorsing Kamala than you had members of a Diddy Party endorsing Kamala. They all came forward.

And they're all going to say exactly what the line is. Because what's kind of hilarious about it is Democratic politicians, they're accountable to the American people.

People in Hollywood, I mean, they're accountable to producers who also share those opinions. So it's a much narrower thing. And they don't have as much room to say, well, I can't make a statement like that. Because we're so used to Hollywood celebrities having these perspectives, too, that no one's going to boycott them. But at this point, we kind of don't have to. People don't really care anymore. I want to jump to this tweet from Zero Hedge, who says, sorry to beat a dead horse, but can we go back to what happened here? And we got this picture. It says, U.S. presidential election popular vote, Democrat versus Republican in millions.

And we can see in 2012, Democrats had just above 65 million. In 2016, they had just about 65 million. In 2020, they had 81 million. And in 2024, they have 66 million. So the question is, what is this? Where did, as of right now, let's make sure we get the popular vote numbers, because it is getting a little bit closer. Kamala Harris has 68 million. We're talking about 13 million votes. Donald Trump's got 72. So he's about 1.5, 2 million shy of where he was in 2020.

And with some coming in that may be around the number. So Trump's about where he was. Where did 13 million Democrat voters go? Do you think something weird happened? Well, it was voter suppression. It's hard to get an ID. And they expected all of those people to. Now we just know the havoc that that wreaked. That's right. Yeah. Half their voters. But more people voted in this election than in 2020.

See, I'm a little worried about this chart here. More people voted in this election than in 2020. And the people who showed up were Trump people. So he should have about what he had. I don't think that's true. I mean, the numbers that we have from Decision Desk right now is Harris 68 million and Trump's 72 million. And Biden had... How many were counted of all the votes? So... Because the...

It is true. California is not completely in yet. Only 60% reporting. So we are waiting for more. Perhaps California is going to come in with an additional $3 million for Harris. Because that's what the decision desk was telling us all night during the election. This is a much higher...

than 2020. Yeah. And that was where the difference was. Actually, we caught that early on. They gave Florida 100 million residents. Yes. So we're halfway through the night and we were like, wow, Trump already has 88 million? I mean, this is massive. And then they corrected and reduced everything back down. So it is possible with California. Let's hit refresh here. California's got 59% reporting. Perhaps we're going to see...

If we're a little bit more than halfway there, we're looking at what may be six million from California that have yet to be counted. It was my... It could really be that simple that they've just not counted the votes yet. It was my kind of guess or inclination that the reason there was such a so many more votes counted in 2020 was because they were literally mailing them out to people's homes and

They were filling them out and then they were going and collecting. It was a total mess. Yeah. So it's like as much as there were more votes, they weren't real. They were phantom votes because they were people that would never get off the couch and go vote in the first place. And if you go out and you mail people ballots and then they fill them out and then they go ahead and you go and collect them, you're not going to get a vote.

a vote from an informed populace. You're going to get a vote from people that are doing what their friends said or what their mother said or, or, or something that they didn't even fill out. Because if you've got five people living there, maybe dad just fills them out for everybody and hands them to the guy that comes to the door. So the idea that, that it's, that it's some kind of accurate vote to have those, I think that's absolutely ridiculous right on its face, just because it was a novel way of, of,

of carrying out an election in the first place due to the COVID lockdowns and everything. It is insane that no other country that has a responsible democracy has this problem. No other country. It's incredible. And we'd mentioned, or someone had mentioned this. Responsible democracy. Well, I'm not saying like in Russia, in Russia there are votes, but who knows? The reason I highlight that is what we're basically saying here, what you're saying here is it is apparent to us that any country with these problems is not a responsible democracy. Is not acting responsibly in this democracy.

And you know, it's bad just to undermine people's faith. I'm not, I don't even know. I won't even guess because no one has ever proved what happened in 2020. But the fact that we don't know is unnerving. Here's a quick question though. Should we have immediately, I think we should, an audit, special counsel investigation of the 2020 election? Absolutely. Absolutely. It'll be impossible because they probably got rid of all the evidence.

Just watching what I saw in the Maricopa County Court was a mess. If we're going to spend $35 million investigating whether or not Trump secretly worked for the Soviet Union going back to the 80s, which is psychotic, we can at least say we will allocate similar funds to making sure our elections are safe and secure. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I do think that what should happen is there should be some kind of legislation from the federal government that says states must update

update their methods of doing the vote. Not that it has to be the same as everyone, but must secure their elections. After the 2000 election, Florida went and renovated their entire election system. And I don't remember who actually said it. It might have been Ben when he was talking about it. But everyone looked at Florida and was like, what?

What the hell are you doing? Right? Like after the whole hang and Chad thing. So Florida went and they renovated their entire election system. And yet, and yesterday they had every vote counted two hours and 45 minutes after the end of the closing of polls. And there is nothing that prevents any other state from doing the same thing. And I made this point yesterday.

The only reason that states have not done that is a lack of will, a lack of a desire to actually make that happen. We live in a society where a guy launches a rocket into space and it comes down and he catches it with a tower falling.

And it's the size of a damn building. Don't tell me that we can't figure out, that states can't figure out how to make elections work properly when there is an existing state that has done it and anybody that wants can say, excuse me, Governor DeSantis, what do you guys do down there? I would like my state to do that. The only thing that lacks is will. You're a racist. Yeah.

Touche. And that is the lesson Democrats learned. You see, the Democrats did learn an important lesson. They haven't been calling us racist enough. There you go. 100 times per hour. CNN's working on it. Well, in 2016, if you notice this, they kept calling everyone racist leading up to the election, and then Trump won anyway, so they started saying white supremacist instead. They're like...

Then everyone was a white supremacist. And now they're going to have to move on to something else. Turbo Hitler. It sounds like a video game. Turbo Hitler. This is kind of the other thing about this election, though, is that Trump won demographics that no Republican has ever won, which to me marks the end of this phase of the leftist strategy. This this identity politics, as they politely call it, because it's really just racist. You think they can give it up?

I don't know how they give it up, because what else have they got? That's all they got. What else have they got? The wonderful, the one thing that saves us is our policies actually work. They can make life better, and their policies immiserate everybody. I mean, life is just more miserable now than it was four years ago. I think it's just Democrats want short-term gratification, instant gratification. And so they're sitting there thinking, like, why can't I do drugs?

I'm going to vote for drugs. And then the right is saying, hey, over a long period of time, that's going to break down and destroy what makes this country function. So we were at a point in human civilization where

where we do... Let's just go back 200 years. Wake up, son. It's the crack of dawn. If we don't farm, we will die by winter. And that's life. And now it's, are you waking up, son? No, I'm sleeping in. Okay, there's cold pizza on the stove. You want for nothing. iPads charging. iPads charging. And so now...

Because people have separated themselves from the realities of nature and we have become so luxurious, they're sitting around being like, why do I have to work? The government should pay me for no reason. And then I can buy McDonald's whenever I want. And my rent is paid. Not realizing that labor has to come from somewhere. So this is what the Democrats policies are now built around. A disconnect between the reality of survival, the work requiring it. So when they're voting for things...

They're so far detached from what we need to do to survive. And it has changed over 200 years. It's no longer go farm because winter's coming. But it is similar to, hey, there has to be some degree of labor you do. They're saying, nah, vote so that we do literally whatever we want, get abortions whenever we want, do drugs whenever we want. And Republicans are just saying, yeah, in five years, society collapses if you do that, as evidenced by the border policy.

Let them all come in. They're poor refugees. Now women are being raped and murdered. You've got Trende Aragua taking over buildings. And Democrats can't seem to understand that they're insane. Because they support policies that promote nihilism. These people have no meaning. But how does any of this affect you personally? Why are you so obsessed with other people? Why do you care so much? Everything that Kamala was campaigning on boiled down to abortion and stocking stuffers.

This is the party that rolled out a human sacrifice truck at the DNC. We're just going to give you everything you want. The business loan for black Americans, that was insane. Black men's crypto. They're going to just give you money to buy a house because that's how that works. That's a great point. And I think that part of the problem is if you look back 20 or 30 years, all of the real things that the Democrats would have run on back then, they've got them all. Essentially, all of the reasonable policies that the Democrats have wanted...

have been installed and at least attempted all of the social programs, everything, even, even including some form of, of, of safety net for healthcare. Right. So in the U S because of the ACA, there is, it's not the, the single payer that they want, but it is some kind of, of safety net for healthcare. What? And so they've literally run out of things that are reasonable that to be able to achieve. They're charged up on role getting kicked back to the States. Yeah. So they got that, you know,

And that's but 20 years ago, they had that. So it's hard to catch up. But the point is, they had they had there was a time where there was a golden period for about five to 10 years where the Democrats didn't have anything to complain about. The left had nothing to complain about. And so the far left moved in and said, let's remake society so that way we become woke because they were bored.

I'm worried about Trump's victory because they're going to realize that they can't be woke anymore. So they're going to like whip themselves into shape and recalibrate as we were talking about last night. And I don't know what the right can do to compete with the left if they decide to be cool again.

I'm usually not very optimistic about the way the left is going to act, but I'm very optimistic about them never abandoning the woke coalition. I do not think it's going to happen. They have...

in the past shifted a little bit to the right on certain issues after they've gotten totally destroyed. But you look at the absolute landslide victories of Nixon and Reagan and the fact that the left only moved further and further to the left over the ensuing decades and they always inevitably overplay their hand. - I think it might recede for a bit and then it will come back bad. - It's possible that coalition will get pushed out. It's like possible that coalition will start to get pushed out

in a publicly facing way, but ultimately they're still gonna hold onto him. - But Kamala, obviously she had to like come closer to the center for the election, for the purposes of the election, and maybe was planning to go back to her rhetoric from before afterwards, but if she won, but she didn't win.

I'm thinking that they've been distancing themselves from wokeness for a while now, and they resent the people in their party who made that the norm. They definitely have. You're right about this. But no fight ever ends. That's the whole point about politics. There's no ultimate victory. And I think...

I do think there's a religious aspect to this because everything they say makes perfect sense if there's no God. I mean, everything that they talk about, that we have no identity, that... Why would you want to have babies? What on earth are you doing having babies when you could be having random sex and just...

you know, making a lot of money. And all those people who put out those videos, I'm so happy that I have no children. And you go like, yeah, yeah, I'm happy I have no life. You know, that's great. Well, that idea of like hedonism and licentiousness, dare I say, predated wokeness. What did? That, that,

that sentiment that you're talking about, like just licentiousness, hedonism. Well, it's, it's woven, it's woven into the idea. First of all, the, the death of the family is woven into the leftist idea because the family is a self-governing unit on which all free, you know, societies are based. You cannot have a free society without families and that they know it. They said, they said it. It's not that they, it's not that the Marxist didn't say this at the very beginning that we have to get women into the workplace because if they're in the home, they're

they're upholding a different set of values than the values of the workplace and they don't want that to happen. But still, at some point, at some point, you have to stop and think, is this the life that we really live? I mean, do people not want children? Do they not get, you know, meaning out of love and out of,

raising a family. Most of us are not going to leave anything behind but children. I mean, it gives you a life that goes beyond your own life. I think what women are really struggling with right now is that they don't need men anymore, but they're wondering why they still want a man. Why they want a man. It's very confusing for them. They also don't understand. They also don't understand. As somebody who's been not just happily but ecstatically married for longer than most of you have been alive, I

I can tell you, when they talk about marriage, they have no idea what they're talking about. But they do need men. Exactly. And so this is a false idea. Well, I mean, everything in their life is crafted to make it seem like they don't need men. They're relying on men in government and men in labor to do things, get taxed, and then give them money without any social attachments. Yes. So you've got liberal women literally going on camera saying, we don't need men. And okay, honest question. What happens if every single man...

phased out of existence for two days. I should clarify it. They know that they don't need to get married to survive. Yes. So they don't need a specific man. That is only if they're not having kids. Because what ends up happening is the story, a tale as old as time in the modern era, women who think they can have it all and struggle. I mean, things are going to change when they invent, which they soon will when they invent a womb.

exists outside of human. They already have. It's a question of regulation at this point. So they've already grown goats, I think. Yeah, they have. And so now we know that we can do it, but regulatory regulation. Elon Musk just told Joe Rogan that in 20 years there'll be more humanoid robots than humans.

Yeah. I'm not sure he's right about that. You know, one of the things about this, the AI and the robot thing, it's not real intelligence. They keep saying they're going to be more intelligent than people, but they're not intelligent at all. They're not doing what we do and we think. And they're actually just computing algorithms.

And also thinking without a body, without a flesh and blood body isn't thinking either. If you're not thinking about death, you're not actually thinking about anything. - It's also not a they, it's an it. - It's an it, yeah. - So when you have these lonely young men in these AI dating apps. - Someone's gonna click that by the way and say you're saying that about pronouns. - And when there are lonely young men using dating apps

And they think they're talking to this character. Did you hear about the young guy who killed himself? Yes, I did. Because he was dating Daenerys Targaryen. The way I describe it is a gigantic horror monster with tentacles. And each tentacle is wearing a mask and sticking in the face of a young person being like, I'm your friend, but it's one disgusting monster. But I feel like that's the fight of the future with Tarkov.

our country or the world is debating about whether humanoid robots have rights. Yes. And like, I'm not even kidding. Like that's what's going to happen. Can they vote? Well, it's going to get really, I don't obviously believe that, but I don't trust them. Well, and I think you and I and Mary and Andrew would all agree as, as Christians. And I'm curious what Tim and Phil think about this, but we would all, I would imagine agree that,

there is no there there that's it's not actually conscious it's just a robot that seems to emulate human behavior well enough so that we project consciousness onto it ourselves but it's not really there but sheamus and what i could foresee what's that are you not doing that with other people no because i have good reasons to believe that other people are actually conscious whereas i don't have reason to believe that circuits with electricity flowing through them can produce the phenomena this is a qualitative experience the philosophical challenge is

What is your reason? My reason is that I would have to make more assumptions than the null hypothesis to get to other people aren't conscious. Whereas with a robot... No, that's true. The most straightforward assumption is that other people are conscious. You're right. I can't actually know for sure other minds exist. There are assumptions you have to make. It's a relativity assumption. This is an object that doesn't exist, that hasn't occurred naturally.

as we exist, therefore there is a greater assumption that there is a consciousness within a machine than there is a consciousness within a person. - Yeah, exactly. You would have to do more mental jumps to get to that. And I just don't believe that it's a tenable position. - Also one of the most important things in philosophy is don't believe what you don't believe. In other words, nobody really, like I could say, how do I know that that bottle isn't sitting there thinking,

please don't bring me i'm trying to live yeah yeah yeah we thought we know we actually do know but i i don't have to be able to explain it we know it's it's the question when somebody says not losses what is a woman there is no real answer to that it's not has nothing to do with chromosomes as not into it we know what a woman right we know instantaneously woman as we could be fooled but then we're wrong you know i mean that that's just a how did that yeah let's jump to the story from the new york post new york attorney general leticia james says we are prepared to fight

in dumb and bizarre presser with Governor Hochul after Trump wins presidency. So the gist of this, which I care a little about, is that Donald Trump is waiting sentencing on the 26th of this month. New York Times says what to know about Trump's New York criminal case after the election. He's the first felon elected president, has a sentencing scheduled for November 26th. He has many ways to avoid punishment.

Interesting. They say more than five months after he's been convicted, blah, blah, blah. Trump, the first former president, they're wasting my time. If the judge grants his request to delay it indefinitely, 78-year-old defendant might never face consequences for his crimes, or at least not for years. And although he is still fighting three of the criminal cases, two are federal, he will soon have the authority to shut them down.

Here's what we know about the status of Mr. Trump's New York criminal case. Will he be sentenced? His victory provided him a way to wiggle out of his sentencing, and he might succeed. As soon as this week, he's expected to ask the judge, Marshawn, to grant another delay. After granting two prior delays, Marshawn might once again be amenable to postponing. And even if he's not, Trump can appeal his decision and seek an emergency pause in sentencing. This is the stupidest thing I've ever read from a bunch of morons, because I'll tell you this. Donald Trump will say, I'm not doing anything. I'm not

filing anything. I'm not going to do anything you ask me to do. January 20th, I will be sending federal agents to knock on your door and rip these documents from your courts and rip through each and every one to figure out what the fraudulent BS in this all was. And he has a popular mandate to do so. So I will stress to the morons at the New York Times, Trump won the popular vote. That means with 34 felony counts and everyone having seen the news about the claims against Donald Trump, we reject them.

The victims of this crime claimed it never happened. Falsifying business records is ridiculous. Trump had disclaimers to the bank saying these could be wrong. The bank said, yeah, we knew that this information could be wrong. He didn't falsify any. I'm sorry. This was that was the other case. This is Stormy Daniels. Yeah, this is Stormy Daniels. But nobody can tell you what he was convicted of. He wasn't. That's right. And this was the case where his lawyer, Cohen, was the one handling all of this. And Trump said, I don't know what he was doing. So all that matters is.

This criminal case, 34 counts, is Trump says to New York, the majority of the population of this country has sided with me. You choose, because I'm going to tell you what's going to happen next. We're going to go to a DOJ. We're going to appoint an AG. And we're going to open an investigation into what this case was. And they're going to rip through your documents. And it will be you sitting on trial. Yeah.

Well, there's something I'm noticing here, too. And I'm glad that you pulled this story up because earlier today, Kamala Harris conceded peacefully. And we've been seeing a lot of different Democrats, prominent Democrats congratulating Trump. There's been a lot of copium and a lot of salt with the actual voters. But prominent Democrats have been saying, oh, this was a totally fair election. We're conceding, which is a little peculiar.

to me because I haven't seen them do that before and so part of me is wondering if they're putting on the face they all got the talking points say it's legitimate say it's legitimate say it's legitimate so that when it comes time for him to be sentenced we can all say oh no no we believe the election was legitimate because we're fair and impartial but he does have to go to jail and now we're gonna call him an illegitimate president for not complying with New York state law that's their pivot yeah I don't I don't think this law this thing that he was convicted of in New York which will stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever

I think any appeal is going to tear it to pieces. The judge at one point literally said to the jury, you do not have to know what you are convicting him of as long as you are convicting him of something. You know, I asked John Yoo, you know, the lawyer from Berkeley, I guess, you know, I said, when I heard that, I felt my soul leave my body because I thought, what country am I in? Where am I? That you would say to somebody, you don't have to know what you're convicting him. And I said, was that me? And you said, no, no, that's actually...

the craziest thing ever. I mean, I think that the, the most likely thing is, is because of the situation with him being the president, the appeal, uh, will have to be, you know, moved up as fast as possible. They're not going to put him in jail until the end of the, the appeal. Cause that's, or until the appeal date, that's just ridiculous. First of all, I mean, I don't know that they, I think that that's not actually standard procedure anyways. Like if someone's still on appeal, they can still stay free. Usually you can. Yeah. So he's not going to jail. Yeah. Uh,

even though he's supposed to be sentenced, he's not going to be sentenced. And even if he is sentenced, he's not going to go to jail. And even if they tried to put him in jail, secret service is going to say, no, he's not going to jail. And there will come. And if necessary, it could come to a point where secret service is saying, try it. Like secret service has secret service. Like you can see this. I don't think it's going to come to that. No, no, I don't think so either. But,

My point being, Secret Service, like, it's not just the people in suits. Like, if you remember on the day that when Trump was shot at in Pennsylvania, there were the guys in suits, but there was also the guys in full-on body armor and kit that looked like an entry team. Like, those dudes are Secret Service as well. They're not going to allow you to just wrap

the president-elect up and put him in jail, first of all. And second of all, as soon as, like I said, because of the fact that there's a, because there's going to be an appeal and it's likely going to get overturned and anyone that looks at the circumstances is going to be like, yeah, this is probably going to get overturned. I imagine New York would be like, hey,

Let's chop, chop, chop this one. When's the next open date? We'll move some stuff and shuffle around. I think we can fit it in in December and make this problem go away. I have to confess that I'm a dissenting voice here. I'm a little bit soft on vengeance.

I know it's just, but I think it may be a mistake. I think that one of the best things that Trump did, and boy, people on my show yelled at me when I said this, when he said he wasn't going to put Hillary Clinton in jail. I'm going to yell at you. That is... No, I thought he was absolutely right. He said, this is not the right way. It's not the way we do politics here, that we put the last guy in prison. They did that. He's got to look better than that. And I actually think...

I predict this. I will make this prediction. I think this is going to be a great presidency. I want it to be about the future. I want it to be about making my life better. It doesn't really make my life better to put a bunch of bureaucrats away. That part doesn't bother me about Hillary, but I do want to see accountability big time for people like Fauci.

Yeah, I agree. Those people just, that's crimes against humanity. I think they mutilated society. They did. It was a terrible, terrible thing. I'm not sure what crime he committed. Maybe, I don't know what crime he committed. Well, you don't have to know what you're convicting him of, Andrew. Right. You just need to know what you're convicting him of. Oh, that's how the link does it. I feel relieved. But so I suppose the challenge is getting into bureaucracy, procedural crimes,

how we handle those. That is, if we had a ban on gain-of-function research and Fauci bypassed this ban by funding EcoHealth Alliance, who then went to China instead, do we make the argument that this was a circuitous method of funding gain-of-function research during a ban? That's why when Rand Paul was questioning Fauci and said, this is gain-of-function research, Fauci was like, no, it's not. And I love this hearing because Rand Paul is like,

Gain-of-function research is when you take a virus and you infect animals with the intention of gaining functions in those viruses to make them more viral, more contagious, etc. And Fauci's like, well, this was not... He's like, this was not gain-of-function research. It was just us taking a virus to make it more viral and to increase... And it's like, all you're doing is describing literally what it is. He lied about it. Rand Paul holds up a document saying, here's you calling it gain-of-function research. The question is...

Is there going to be a political appetite to go back to these things? So I've already heard people say, I don't care about 2020 anymore. Trump needs to get in and he just needs to start cleaning up the DOJ, cleaning up the FBI, getting rid of the political lawfare.

I think we're probably gonna be more focused on pardoning J6ers and commuting sentences of those. - That, I think, is hugely important. That's different, yeah. - And so I think there's gonna be a much less appetite for things like Fauci and all that stuff, especially considering Trump was the one who initially said, "Stop two weeks to slow the spread," and was the principal,

Principal pushing. Oh, yeah. I got questions for him about six people. I want those old ladies here. I'm just going to make my disgraceful exit. But before I go, I want to let everyone know to subscribe to Pop Culture Crisis, and you can follow me on Instagram and Twitter, at Mary Archived. Thank you for having me. Right on. So who do we got popping in? We got Ian. Is that Ian? Come on in. We got to wait till you get the microphone because no one can hear you. Mary Morgan is a superstar in hiding. Mary Morgan. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you, Mary. Thanks for coming, man. Good to see you again.

Actually, you're big time answer. Can I make a point about Fauci real quick? Yeah. Just that Sir Francis Boyle, who is the American legal expert who authored the American implementing legislation for the International Bioweapons Convention, said that what happened there was, in fact, illegal under our legislation. Right, because we had banned this dangerous practice. But let's talk then about J6ers, because...

I think there's a bigger appetite for the immediate. There are people currently in solitary confinement right now. It's insane. I saw a post where someone said, I learned Trump won on a smuggled-in radio. Wow. And there are people who are in jail right now who have never been charged. It's insane. And the old people, the old ladies who have been put in prison for protesting abortion by praying. You know, that's another thing that's got to be put in prison. You know what I want to see?

I want to see Donald Trump invite the pardoned and commuted J6ers to the White House. I would love that. By the way, if prayer didn't work, they would not have to throw pro-lifers in jail for it. I'm just going to say it. I'm going to put that out there. I like that. Totally. What do you think would happen if Trump pardons these people and then says, we're going to invite 700, 800 people to a party at the White House, a special event? It wouldn't be their first time in a federal building.

they would stay within the felt ropes. Most of them. I know how to, I know my way around. You don't need to show me where the bathroom is. I know where it is. But the reality is, even though that would seem like it would just destroy the left and it would be hilarious to see, they have actually run out of histrionics. Like,

I don't know that they can get more upset. They can't raise the alarm further than they've already raised it. How are they going to say that? They haven't already said it. People have literally said they don't care. This election, if it's about nothing else and it's about many other things, it is people saying, we don't care about your hysteria. They did not think that January 6th was an insurrection. People do not believe that. And why would they? I mean, they burned...

down cities over a drug addict dying while he was resisting arrest. They wanted to tear down statues of George Washington and put up statues of the drug addict. They actually did that.

Yes, but I do want to mention, because I have to mention this every single time, a mural of George Floyd with a crown on the side of a building was struck by lightning in the center of the building, and his image exploded, and this is real life. And I don't know if that makes you guys have more, if you think it's a miracle or God intervened or what that means, but... Yes, of course that's what it means. LAUGHTER

- What's wrong with you? - But let's just, I wanna mention this. The story is there's a brick wall. It's got a big mural across the board. Right in the middle is George Floyd. They put a crown on his head. During the day, several clouds started to appear slowly over the area. It was not overtly cloudy.

There was light rain and then lightning struck this one part of the building blowing up George Floyd's picture. My thoughts always been that he used electrically conductive paint on accident, but that's still God's will through the human doing that. He punished people for making a golden calf. Yeah. You know, with the J6, I think he should pardon everyone and have them to the White House. But I think instead of doing it all at once and having 800 people, which one might cause a panic that he's having is he's amassing a mob. But forget about that.

He could bring them in segments of 20 at a time every week, schedule. So he can actually meet them and talk to them and give them individual time and attention, which I think is the point. You really want to give these people. Appointments, cabinet positions, let's go. But that'd be cool. Like every, every couple of weeks, the election integrity over the next year or two, you could schedule like, Oh my

Where people could really go and get to know him because, like, God, these people have been through hell on earth. Like, what a reward to be able to spend some personal time with Donald Trump. Yeah. And the lines to which Enrique Tarrio deserves a full pardon. Yeah. And it's true. He wasn't even in D.C. He simply sent a message saying, don't leave.

And we don't even know the context of what don't leave means. We also need to remember a lot of these people were forced into saying that they were violent at these things when they really weren't. Yeah. Well, when the feds come after you, I mean, they have something like a 90% conviction rate. 99%. 99%. Yeah. So people confess. Which, by the way, is a red flag. That is a red flag whenever we look at any other country and go, oh, their justice system is a kangaroo court system because they convict 99% of whoever they go after. Right. But when it's the feds, we're like,

they sure are good at getting evidence. I want to jump to this story from NBC News. DOJ moving to wind down Trump criminal cases before he takes office. The step complies with longstanding DOJ policy that sitting president cannot be prosecuted. Two people familiar with the matter told NBC News. So this is absolutely hilarious. Trump's going to fire these people. I have to imagine

What do you think Trump does when he walks in to the DOJ and there's a guy standing there holding the I'm prosecuting Trump file? You think Trump's going to be like, it's okay, we're all good, just stop and then you can keep your job? Or is he going to be like you...

Out. Well, remember with Comey, like he left Comey and he is the one thing about Trump. I keep saying this over at The Daily Wire. They keep yelling at me for saying it because they don't actually believe it. He is really smart and he learns things and he's he changes over time with what he learns. He didn't fire Comey. It blew back on him. I think he's going to populate his cabinet a lot faster than he did before with better people. They're not going to come from the people, the

the rhinos who hate him. And then I think he's going to fight. If he doesn't clean out DOJ and FBI, then he hasn't learned anything. It's my personal opinion that everybody that's GS 13 and up needs to go. Get rid of them. Yeah. Get out of here because anyone in, in upper management, those people don't get to those positions unless they're ideologically aligned. Yeah. Right. If you're middle management, you might be ideologically aligned. You might not be, you might have your eye on those prizes, but if you're middle management,

You're not going to have the same kind of impact that people in upper management will. So if you're GS 13 at state, you're out. GS 13 at CIA, get out. NSA, get out. DOD, get out. Anyone that's a civilian that's, like I said, GS 13 or higher, beat it.

Fire them all. I'm scared where they're going to wind up in our society. Dude, where are they going to be able to do more damage? Because they're like domestic terrorists. McDonald's is hiring them. Wait, wait, wait. What, do you think they're going to storm the Capitol, Shane? That's a genuine concern. Like what happened in Iraq?

Excuse me, I'm chewing this delicious prosciutto. Charcuterie. Charcuterie. Thank you, Tim, for purchasing that. I did not. Thanks to whoever did that. Brought it in. Project 2025 provided it. When they overthrew the bath party, Saddam Hussein's party, they basically threw them all out and they...

they created ISIS. That was entirely debathification. And that was you. And the problem with that was like, there was no competent government to replace them with here. You're talking about like an existing structure. And I'm not talking about getting rid of everybody. I'm only talking about getting rid of the upper man. I'm just saying that those people really hate us. Yeah. And our way of life. And I, wherever they end up there in the minority. Yeah, true. But the, well, the point is, look, there's a, you, if you, if you, if,

what you're saying is true and they do hate us. I agree with you completely. They hate our way of life. They have nothing but malice for your everyday people. But leaving them in government is worse than getting them out. Oh, yeah. I'm not saying leave them in. We could exile them. I don't know. We don't want them to stay here. We could go ahead and toss a couple oil rigs or a couple dozen oil rigs out there and send them into the Mars. Martha's Vineyard. Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing. Hey, hey, hey, Martha's Vineyard.

Yeah. It's like Australia. Everyone there loves them. It's a beautiful place. They can go retire. Just bye-bye. Go away. Strip them from power and we're done with it. But I do think that it's important to get rid of the people that are ideologically possessed. I mean, Mike Benz talks about it as the blob. You know, people at state, people at CIA, NSA, DOD, the people that are

that are in these positions that have the impulse to try to shape currently the United States. There's always going to be

some kind of apparatus in the United States that wants to shape international affairs. The U.S. is still the indispensable nation. The U.S. is still, the U.S. should be the country that makes sure that the seas are free for everyone. That has been a, since the Barbary pirates, that has been a ubiquitous, unquestionable good for the world that the United States has done, keeping the seas open for commerce.

That's been something the U.S. has done for ages and ages. It's probably likely to say that the British did it for a while, but up until at the end of World War I or World War II, the U.S. took that position. And it's been a total good. It's not actually intervening in other countries. It's not trying to change who's in charge of countries. Overall, there is almost no bad that comes from the U.S. keeping the seas open and free for trade. Right.

So that's fine. There's probably I don't know that we're going to be able to or that we would we would be interested in having the U.S. not be the reserve currency. Because, again, no, it's important. Yeah. I think that that's probably something that we're going to have. It's possible that you could say maybe maybe a something like Bitcoin could be. But I don't know. But it can't be. Why? Because you can't control the production of Bitcoin.

Yeah, well, I think that's part of the appeal to some of the libertarians. But anyways, I'm not... Right, so the U.S. reserve currency would not... You can't use Bitcoin as a reserve currency. You need fiat so that you... Like, this is the benefit for the U.S. with the petrodollars, that we don't need to produce anything to buy anything we want. We literally just determine, if you want to buy oil, you have to get our permission. But that's done with Saudi Arabia breaking that deal and the BRICS nations launching their new currency.

I suppose Donald Trump's going to have a heck of a task ahead of him because I don't know how we come back from this. I mean, look, look, look, I'm not a big fan of this system of U.S. world police use our currency or else we're the only superpower. But warning to everybody, whatever you think is going to happen with Trump or Kamala or whatever's going on next.

The petrodollar is on the verge of collapsing. BRICS is launching their own currency. They're talking about trading, and they already started trading outside the U.S. dollar, which means everything will get more expensive. And the first impact will likely be imported goods will be ridiculously expensive. Also, our debt will be impossible to pay. Yep, that's it right there. Because we've been trying to, the game is to keep the U.S. under levered. The game is, it's really, really fascinating how these rich people make money. Check it out.

You take a million dollar loan and then you hope the million dollars becomes worth less. If I work, if I make 10 bucks an hour and I borrow 10 bucks from you, but then the value of that labor goes down, I only owe you $5 worth of buying power. The number is nothing, but regular people don't get this. So the U.S. is basically saying we can spend as much money as we want and grow and dump and amass the debt so long as we devalue the currency at a higher rate than

So that way, when we have to pay back labor, we have more supply of labor than we took in the first place. It's a ridiculous system and it's going to implode, especially now with the petrodollar going away. So and if that does happen, then we're looking at a situation where the United States no longer will be the indispensable nation and that power vacuum will be filled by someone.

And it's not going to be filled. It's exactly, it's not going to be filled by, by, by a country that has altruistic impulses, right? Like the U S for all of our flaws, the U S still is the best country in the world and the fairest country in the world in dealing with other countries. Not that again, not that the U S is perfect, but,

But do you want China to be calling the shots? Do you want Russia to be calling the shots? Because, I mean, it's not going to be good. I'm curious, your thoughts on this, Andrew. On which? On the state of the petrodollar. Will the U.S. be able to maintain this? And what happens with BRICS nations? We will only be able to maintain this as long as there's no competition. And so far, there's no competition. Because we're...

what what phil's saying is right we're trustworthy you know it used to be no we are i mean if you come here and invest and your money makes money we give you the money that your money made if you put your money into china and your money makes money you never see it property rights are important well that's the reason we have fracking and no one else has fracking is because when you own property here you own it right down into the ground not china then not and not in england you know but there there is the risk with the uh the

fraud case against Donald Trump in New York where they basically said we can seize your assets and make a fake charges against you. Yes they did. And seizing assets is one of the worst things we've got going now. I mean even when you do it against drug dealers, it's wrong. That's what they're doing. They're using drug enforcement against Donald Trump. So yeah, look, there's all kinds of problems with our government certainly and there's all kinds of corruption but still when you compare it to other countries, we're still the dependable country. And so

Because of our debt, if we lose our dollar as the standard reserve, we're screwed. We're deeply, deeply screwed. And Trump knows it. What do we produce? What are our exports? So I explain it a bit for those that don't understand. We'll keep it simple. If country A wants to buy oil, they have to use their currency, come to the United States and say – or someone selling U.S. dollars and say –

I want U.S. dollars. I'll give you X amount of my currency for dollars. The United States doesn't have to do that. In order to maintain the value of a country's currency against the dollar, they need typically to have more exports than imports. That's a simple way of saying they need to do work that others value so they can get U.S. dollars to buy oil.

The U S sits around, we get fat, we don't work. We produce very little. And then we point guns at other countries and say, we got the petrodollar. We can print it as we see fit to buy the oil. When we want, we could print graphing. I talk a lot about it. I've been talking about it for probably five years at this point. Um,

The hydrogen graphene production system is pretty cool. They do this thing called flash jewel heating. Okay, dude, I got to stop you right there. I'm sorry. I know you want to talk about it, but we're literally talking about foreign policy war. We're not talking about graphene. We're talking about exports. We're talking about currently right now, what is the U.S. doing? And that is not on the chart. I just told you, if you are asking about what can we export. That is not what I asked. I said, what do we export right now?

There is very little, unfortunately. Very little culture. And in the immediate of what we can export, it's not going to be graphene and hydrogen fuel cells and none of that. That is not an immediate... Well, what's your solution? Well, first thing we need to do is start manufacturing things here at home. We need to figure out how we can get rare earth minerals. We need to start going into Alaska where we can get oil and... We have plenty of where we just don't mine it. We need rare earth mineral mining, which we export to... which we outsource to China...

First thing we need is our own manufacturing base so that we don't have to worry about buying oil on an international market. When we produce it here at home, we produce various fuels of our own volition in which, sure, hydrogen could be a component, but we need to have a self-sufficient economy that's not reliant on a petrodollar. But instead...

The people of this country slowly stopped manufacturing things and we sent it all off to China. And the idea was they will do our dirt labor and we will be an intellectual base of producers. That's not what happened. What earth minerals? Rare earth minerals. Which ones? Literally rare earth minerals. What minerals? Rare earths. I'm asking you. Cobalt. What metals? Cobalt? Sure. So we're talking about rare earths. I'm just asking for specifics. I gave you a couple of chemicals that we could start making. Graphene is not a component of base...

infrastructure in the United States. You put it in roads, you can make buildings with it? And it's not something that any sane, irrational person is going to be sitting here saying, what can we do? They're going to be saying, we need fuel in the immediate, which is oil, coal, and that's typically it. Those are natural gas. And those are the... That's methane. Coil. Coal is the principal producer of electricity in this country. I think coal is...

- It's the steam, you're burning it, yeah. - All of it is. - It's the steam energy. - But it's energy return on energy invested. So with coal, you can generate more heat than, which creates steam, which more than other materials. Nuclear has the highest energy return on energy invested. So once we get a nuclear plant going, that makes sense.

But the question is, what is the labor force of the United States? What will sustain our economy and allow growth and development in this country? Right now, we export very little. If we don't have a petrodollar system, we better start drilling right now. And I think the first thing we do is we go to Alaska, which is a massive, massive area of natural resources that are untapped.

Because, you know, we had the conversation with Jack Posobiec and Daniel Turner. Rich people see it as their playground, and they don't want to use it instead. They want to go to Afghanistan to get cobalt. To your point, Tim, like once they start approving new licenses to drill into places like Anwar and stuff like that, that's going to affect the futures market, right? And then the price of fuel goes down in the future, because on the futures market, and that will affect like the global price of oil, doesn't it? Is that my thinking correct? That means...

That like if you just start signaling to oil companies that you're going to do those things, you're going to see a fairly fast return on your on your on your initiative by the price of oil going down. And that turns into the price of everything going down because we've talked about that on the show. Everything is transported with fuel and the cost of fuel is built into everything.

the cost of everything. And it's one of the, one of the most easily manipulated price costs, right? You can't change the cost of 18 wheelers. You can't change what you pay, you know, your drivers very quickly. Like those kinds of things take time to change the cost of a fleet, the cost of upkeep, the cost of maintenance and stuff like that. But the cost of actual fuel, if you can drop the cost of fuel by a buck a gallon, that's a real savings when you're using, you know,

50,000 gallons in a month. And that translates to real savings to the customer. The problem is we're talking about two different systems that are in conflict. It's not true that we don't produce anything or export anything. We actually export ideas and creativity. We have Silicon Valley, which is...

is massively creative and creates all kinds of... You know, all sorts of things come out of America that are intellectual property. It is true that we tried to move our manufacturing into other countries to get cheaper labor because we have unions and rules and things that they don't have. And that was... The benefit was supposed to be, now you have an iPhone that's affordable because it's being made by slaves in China. Yeah, basically a suicide factory. Now, the problem with that is we have a workforce.

our people who are out of work. And that's a different way of looking at things. One idea is we're one global community and we're all gonna just put different things in different places where they all go well. And the other is, no, America first. First we have to make sure our people are working and that's the problem. - Is it your sense that tariffs can actually help affect that? Because when people think of tariffs, they think, oh, well there's gonna be tariffs on everything. It's gonna be a blanket thing that happens to everything. And so every price goes up.

But we already have tariffs on stuff. Like there's tariffs that exist now, right? And so if you, is it possible to use tariffs to affect the prices and as to make it cheaper? If you use them, you can only use them for a little while because ultimately we pay for everything, right? You're going to pay the, it's a tax. It becomes a tax. So Decision Desk has finally called Arizona. That's it. Trump 312. I think that that means Ben Shapiro was right.

Yep. Yep. I think I think Ben at 316 is he thought New Hampshire might be in play. But this is, you know, 95 percent what he had projected 312 for Donald Trump. So there it is, ladies and gentlemen. There it is. So now now it's a sure thing.

I was a little bit worried. I mean, that's a pretty good margin. That's a really good margin. And the popular vote. That's insane. In the House and the Senate. I mean, it's unbelievable. The popular vote. What's the popular vote? 72.8 million. To Harris is 68.1. It's almost 5 million almost? Yeah. Yeah. Similar to the...

Four point six. It's a massive victory in every way, especially the demographics of it. I mean, the demographics have totally changed. He's completely changed the game and completely reformed the party. This is what we were getting into these big arguments because I was not a fan of the old Republican Party. I'm not a fan of the Bushes. I'm not a fan of... McCain and Romney were jokes to me. I mean, I didn't really know. When McCain was running against Obama, I couldn't even tell people.

to vote for McCain. You know, I knew what Obama was. I was, you know, I thought, like, this is going to be bad. But how do you tell somebody to vote for this desiccated old man who's more worried about the opinion of the New York Times than he is about what he's doing for the people?

That party was dead. And this is what we're seeing. What we're seeing is this massive transition, not just because of Donald Trump. We're seeing this party dying. And I think we're seeing the Democrats dying as well. The elitists. They're going to have to realign. But I want to jump to this story from the Daily Mail. Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth on Democrats in blistering statement after Trump's victory. And what, my friends, do you think the response from the left was?

Well, of course, Bernie Sanders has quote, he's a white man. It should come as no great surprise that a democratic party, which has abandoned working class people would find the working classes abandoned them. First, it was the white working class and now it is Latino and black workers as well. While the democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right. Followed by Ida Bay. Well, saying what policies is he talking about? Sincere question. And black working class voters did not abandon the party. And then Jen Rubin.

It's crap. She ran on the most progressive agenda in history. Maybe the problem is white men who blame others. And then, of course, that's my favorite. I'm personally hurt. From Ali Samarko, who is a Democratic strategist, she says...

If Kamala Harris had done everything the same, but she was a white man, she would have won. It's that simple. She's a strategist gives me hope for a long time, for a long time in the future. Cause she sounds like a moron. No, no. I think she's a, she's lying. She's a Republican strategist. You think if, if she's doing it, how the GOP win, you think of Kamala Harris said, vote for me because I'm a black woman while being a white man. Uh,

He would have won the election? Dude, histrionics is the best way to describe this. Yeah, they're nuts. A combination of images like this, where you've got Handmaid's Tale, and it says, I just wasn't convinced she worked at McDonald's. Oh, I love the image of the woman wearing the Handmaid's Tale outfit voting. She's like, ugh!

I'm the Handmaid's Tale. I'm going to cast my vote. Such a good point. No, it's true. Well, I mentioned this last night, but they dress up like they're characters in a Handmaid's Tale, and they wear this ridiculous Halloween costume when there are women who are actually forced to wear burkas in the real world because...

leftist women would rather stand in solidarity with imaginary characters than admit that men other than white Christian men mistreat women in some circumstances. And the novel was actually supposed to be a satire on Islam when it was first written. Wow. I think the author was mad that they even hijacked it. Wasn't it the Iranian revolution that inspired it? I've heard that. I want to stress as well the histrionics in this thread that Cassandra McDonald has posted. It is a massive thread. She's been compiling these videos online.

All day for the past 24 plus hours. Now, here's the question. Why are all of these women filming themselves crying? Yeah. Because it is narcissistic and histrionic personality disorder. That's right. They never, exactly. They never cared about politics. They cared about being victims and they got exactly what they wanted. So there it's you guys ever see the meme?

Where the guy is like boomers and he walks in and bumps his elbow and keeps walking. Then he goes Gen X, bumps his elbow, looked at the wall and keeps walking. Millennials, he bumps his arm and goes, ah, ah, ah, keeps walking. And then he goes Gen Z, bumps his arm, screams, flips over, falls down, cries and then goes boom.

Dude, honestly, no, it's all very real. And this is something I observed in 2016, which I found so fascinating. I remember after 2012, I was in high school, but I covered the

The election for a little local cable access station our school was running. And I remember when Romney lost, to think of it, that I used to love Romney. I agree with you, he's terrible. But at the time, he was what we had. And I was so depressed. But I didn't want to show it because I thought it would be really embarrassing to lose the election and then also look weak in front of everybody. And then in 2016...

when Hillary lost and the media was showing images of Hillary supporters crying, I thought, hold on a second, this is insane. They actually think this is a good look. They think that we are gonna see that and feel bad about how we voted. They think we're gonna see stupid people crying and go, oh man, we shouldn't have voted.

that way. We should have let the left destroy our lives. They did it today at the Kamala concession speech. They showed images of people crying. We are going to meme them until they cry more and then we will meme them again. But no, isn't it so bizarre? Because again, I would think that here's the thing. If right wingers were crying after an election turned out a way that they didn't like, the media would be

in hysterics laughing at it. There would be no sympathy. So it's so bizarre to me that I shouldn't say it's bizarre to me. It's expected. But just the fact that they lack the self-awareness to also know that we're not going to see that. They mocked us when they destroyed our livelihoods. Yeah. But the point is they believe that they are morally correct because

their goals are morally pure. Yeah, sure. So they can do whatever they want to us. No, hold on. It matters because there isn't, people say, oh, the hypocrisy, and we talk about the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is not the point. The point is for them to say, you cannot hurt us.

and it is perfectly acceptable for us to hurt you because you are the lower class you are the evil people you do not even rate humanity your maggots your deplorables your garbage so we don't have to

feel bad when we hurt you and you shouldn't even think that you're in a position to hurt us or mock us. Sure. No, I don't disagree that that's how they feel about it. But what I'm saying is you can recognize that or they can believe that, but still know that it's really bad for optics to be crying on television. They don't care about optics and because these aren't for us. These are for their fellow viewers.

So what they're doing is they're showing their fellow elitists that they're still committed, that they still care about these things. They're making themselves into heroes. I mean, one of the things about heroism is if you're tortured in a movie,

You want to grab the mic? We can't hear you. Oh, sorry. If you're tortured in a movie, you're Harrison Ford or some handsome actor who everybody is watching, everybody's paying to see, and you think like, well, that's not so... I would do that. If I were tortured, I'd be brave just like that actor is being brave. But when you're tortured in real life, there's no one there. And so what they're doing is they're basically turning themselves into a movie because they think that

that is what the heroism consists of. To have a broken heart and say nothing and keep moving is what heroism is. And this is the opposite of that, but it's what they think it is. That's why there's no longer any distinction between Hollywood and the politics. But that's why Hollywood thinks that they have something to say to us when they don't. These people

do not have actual feelings about the election. I would wager not a single one of them has a real political opinion on any of this. Or knows anything. Or knows anything about it. It's meant to be, there's two things here. One, how can I get clicks today? I will cry on camera and film myself. There's also another video during COVID where a nurse puts her phone up on a tripod and

And then she's leaning up against the wall and it says, lost another patient. And she's got her hands on her head and she's like looking back and forth and acting like she's all stressed. Like, man, you set up a scene to film. I don't believe you're actually feeling one way or another about this. Very creepy behavior. That's like very weird main character narcissism. Maybe some of these meltdowns are just poor attempts at them wanting to become memes from the right.

Oh, for sure. I want to see my face. You got to let it fade away. They want views. That screaming woman who fell to her knees. I've been avoiding this stuff all day. I don't think giving this attention is in any way healthy. But fun. You're missing the fun. It's like scratching an mosquito bite. It kind of feels good, but it's inflaming the problem. These people are doing, and this is also a trend. This is no different than a TikTok dance.

They see each other do it, and they're like, this gets you a million views. I'm going to cry on camera. Oh, and one of them's a dude crying on camera. It's all virtue signaling. To their cult. And to people that watch it with hate rage. Here you go. Here's the guy. Anything works for this. It's views, you know? He a bitch. He's crying because his daughter can't have a boyfriend. Just to put it bluntly. He's not even saying anything. He's just crying. Oh, he's just crying? Yeah. Why do they all choose that angle?

cry you baby it's just it's cult like behavior it's weird it is it's remember the story of the dance plague no

Where people were on a bridge and they started dancing until they died? You don't know that story Shane? I know real stories of hysteric outbreaks of dancing and laughing. Right, the famous story where on the bridge and you know like somewhere in Europe everybody was dancing. The 1300s or something, the dancing play. You're talking about the real one though? Yes. Okay, not a story story, gotcha. Yes. I thought you were talking about fiction. No, no. These people right here are doing the same thing as the dancing on the bridge. They see a group of people doing it so they go and they start doing it and no one stops.

They're they're mindless NPCs playing a copycat. So how do you feel about these people in terms of humanoid robots? Well, I also I mean, you know, when I see when I saw that video of that white guy for Harris crying and not saying anything, I thought, man, I'm really sad that he isn't having a say in policy decision making over the course of the next four years. It really is rough. It's bad for us.

I do think that these people are real and whether this is like, they're probably hyping themselves up. Some of them probably just really are low level thinkers and actually feel the pain.

And like, I don't revel in other people's pain. Well, people, people, I don't know. The pain of confusion. No, no, no, look, look. If you hang up a bunch of pictures of monsters and then fall on the ground shrieking that the monsters are here, I'm not, I'm not feeling anything for you. I'm not either. I'm not going to laugh at them. Just even because they're really in pain, even if it's for a silly reason, if they're really in pain, I'm not going to find joy in that. I disagree. I think one of the problems we have is that we've dismissed shame as a society and shame exists for a reason. Yeah, that's, I mean, this is,

should be met with shaming. But consider the people who poured out in universities with actual passion, shouting, you know, from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free. And when you ask them what river, what sea, they had no idea. You know, they didn't know. They literally didn't know. And where did the passion come from? I mean, it obviously is some kind of social, you know,

virus that comes through because they really didn't know what the issues are. They use words like genocide about actions that have nothing to do with genocide that are actually cannot be described by the word genocide. So ignorance is a powerful thing. One of my favorite stories is during Occupy Wall Street. The leftists would chant, "A anticapitalista."

And it's a Spanish thing, right? And so I'm filming. I know what they're saying. And I know that none of these people who are chanting it, the person who started it knew, seven of the people who are anti-capitalist anarchists or whatever knew. And the rest of the people were just marching because they saw at their university a flyer to go protest. So I go up to a guy and he's chanting. And then I was like, hey, what's going on, man? What are you chanting? And he's like, oh, I'm just doing the chant. I'm like, yeah, I know. What are you saying? And he's like, oh, I

I don't know. He was chanting gibberish. He was going, ah, ah, B, da, B, da, B, da, B, do. Because he had no idea what they were saying because anticapitalista is like, it doesn't register to somebody who's not looking for Spanish. It's like, there was a wonderful interview with a woman who was asked outside of Columbia University, what do you think?

why she was protesting the war in Gaza. And she said, well, it's got to stop. And the guy said, well, what? What's got to stop? And she said, there was this pause, and she said, well, I wish I were more educated. I thought, well, if you were inside the school, maybe you would get more educated. Maybe you need a different school. Yeah, I don't know about that. It's like Greta Thunberg. This is why we must shame...

And it's not because we're trying to be cruel. It's because there needs to be a social penalty for doing things that cause problems. So Greta Thunberg is a great example. Famously going up and saying, we cannot wait 30 years. We must get rid of fossil fuels now. If we shut off fossil fuels, as she had asked immediately, the estimate is I think 30 to 60 million people die in a week.

It's a ridiculous prospect, but she's too stupid to understand, and everyone just claps and cheers because she's a useful idiot for them. Yeah, I'm not sure that laughing at people who are being ridiculous is wrong. I understand the kind of hesitancy about schadenfreude, but, you know, people, you're right. There should be shame, and I think shame is an actual...

a corrective for a society as a whole. And I think the absence of shame, the idea, everything has been about removing shame. You know, it's like, don't fat shame me. Well, you know, maybe that would stop you from getting cancer. Shame is better than the force of law. And that's what shame has done historically was prevented the need for the force of law. When you have a society, like you look at the way that the Japanese behave.

They will police each other. If like the when the people like the people that go in and visit and they go onto the train and they intentionally are loud and noisy and blah, blah, blah. There's this dude. I forget. Johnny Somali, I think his name. He's he just got put in jail in South Korea and he ain't leaving. They ain't letting him leave because he went there and was so disruptive. And the reason is because they don't F around with that stuff. And that's not a bad thing.

Of course it's not. I hear those words like, you know, you're slut shaming me. And I think, well, if you're a slut, you should be ashamed. Shame is a... Shameful behavior. But what is the complaint? When they say, why are you slut shaming me? It's like, oh, I'm sorry. Do you feel bad that I hold you...

what you are doing in derision? - Yes. - Because that would imply that you understand what you are doing is bad. - That's true. No, well, I mean, so ideally, and by the way, Phil, you're right. Shame is actually more effective than law enforcement. This is something I've spoken with Sean, an actual justice warrior about when he did my podcast a while back and he's someone who has a degree in criminal justice and talks about it for a living.

And what he pointed out is that when it comes to preventing crime, there's three ways to do so. The first most important way is for the person to actually believe that the thing is wrong and not be okay with doing it. And if they don't care, they don't have a conscience about it, well, then the second most important thing is that the people around them think it's wrong. And then if not, well, then the last resort is we lock them up. But it's interesting because, I mean, the first...

line there we could just describe as guilt and the second one is shame it's better for people to feel guilty about bad things than to feel shame for them but some people just don't feel guilt for bad things and so we as a society have to recognize that shame is an indispensable mechanism yeah for maintaining social cohesion because shame is better than using the force of law yeah every time that you and we've talked about like the

the more laws a society has, the more likely it is for the law to, for the government to use law against you. And if there are, if the laws are, the founders have said, you know, if the laws are voluminous or whatever,

That means that you don't have a virtuous society. If you have a virtuous society and your intent is to have a virtuous society, your intent is to have a society of free people, then you don't need a lot of laws. And part of the way to avoid having a lot of laws and having to use the force of government is have society police itself. And the fallacy is that the shame is causing you to feel bad.

That's right. You feel bad because you're ashamed. Exactly. And it's just bringing it out. I mean, if there is a reason people feel shame, it's not because society tells them to. Society emphasizes things they already feel. 100%. You treat your body like it's nothing, that you will feel shame.

No, and I think there's a really dark thing that we see as a result of that, which is if a person doesn't want to get their life in accordance with reason and virtue, they end up feeling ashamed, not simply because people are telling them what they're doing is wrong, but just by observing people not acting the way that they do. And then they actually want to use the force of law against people who are just going about their lives in a normal way. They want to hurt people. One great example of this was Henry VIII.

and saint thomas moore saint thomas moore had no political power that was going to be able to prove i mean he had some powers a lawyer but he was not going to prevent henry viii from doing what he wanted to do but it was just the fact that somebody out there saw illegitimacy with his sexual decision making i.e locking his wife up and taking a new one he had to have that person executed and it is absolutely true i know a guy who won a politzer prize by exposing the mafia in a small town in connecticut many many years ago

And I asked him, how'd you find them? He said, I didn't have to find them. Once they knew I knew what they were doing, they came after me. Wow. Because they felt bad. It's, you know, you don't want people to know that you're doing bad things. I think that you can shame someone without enjoying it, I suppose. Interesting. Yeah. Like, I'm concerned of people reveling in others in the legitimate, but obviously it's ridiculous what these people are out of control, emotional about something that they're in control of with their own, you know, that's,

Yeah, I don't want the behavior to continue. I'd like to see it stop. And I'll put it on a pedestal and show everyone the ridiculousness of it, but I don't enjoy that. I don't want, I'm not like, I don't want, you know. Just calling out bad behavior shouldn't be shamed. Yeah, the left has used this too much against us. They've essentially said to us that we are bad for mocking people or shaming people. But that's not the truth. I mean, it is absolutely true. I always say that everything is funny except other people suffering. Right.

You know, that's where I stop. If you have been hurt, if I've been hurt, I can laugh about it, but if you've been hurt, I'm not going to laugh about it. That's fair. But there is a point where you start to use that, weaponize that idea so that you are now shutting down the normal, healthy reactions of the society that you're in. So you say, oh, you slut-shamed me, now I feel bad. You should feel bad. I should feel that you're ashamed. I should make you feel ashamed. And if I, whether I get

i get pleasure out of that or not may just depend on the situation may just depend on whether i like you or not genuine suffering is kind of masked by this crap that's right that's it there's a point that i've been making the past couple days is is and it speaks to this is the the democrats have run ads about masturbation about lying to your spouse encouraging encouraging encouraging yeah about

legalizing marijuana. Now, all of these things happen normally, they do, to some degree or another.

I mean, it's certainly don't. I don't think that we should we should be throwing people in jail for any of them. Right. I don't think that we should we should put people in jail for any of those things. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't shame them. And Dave's comic Dave Smith makes a great argument for this. The reason that we should shame people for these behaviors is so that we don't have to criminalize them. That's right. So that way we disincentivize these behaviors. Right.

And that way we don't have to use the force of law. And the fact that the Democrats literally ran...

With those as virtues. They weren't running. Yeah. They were running them as virtue saying, these are good things that you like and we will protect your ability to do them. That is a, that is a net negative for society. That is an absolute net negative for society regardless. And I, again, I'm, I say this frequently, I'm not a religious guy and I'm not coming at this from a religious perspective because

Stop it. Starting to make me think you are, though. You're starting to make me think you are a little bit. I think he's asking for help. But the point being...

If you can't condemn things that are bad for people when they are you when they are done irresponsibly and the way that you make sure that things are not done irresponsibly is by not encouraging them. And that's exactly what the Democrats are doing. Then you are going to have a society that looks at vice as if it's virtue. And those things are in those things in excess are bad for people. So you should not.

be endorsing them. Again, I can say that you shouldn't. I don't want to put people in jail for them. I don't want them to be outlawed. But I also don't want to live in a society that's saying, hey, go do these things as if they're virtues. It's a terrible idea for society. There is an open question whether things have to be outlawed

if they are bad. I understand, you know, it would be terrible to have people arrested for adultery, but I think adultery is very, very bad and very disastrously harmful to families. But I don't actually think people should be arrested for that. But there is a point where you say, oh, this is legal. You know, marijuana is now legal. I think marijuana is just a...

terribly destructive force. I don't even know what they were thinking when they unleashed that on people, especially now. When I was a kid, you smoked marijuana, you got a little fuzzy. They wanted you to be drunk. Yeah, this is... But there is a question whether you can legalize something

and still condemn it because now i mean i don't know if you guys go to new york at all but i i was from there in a cafe beautiful cafe enjoying this wonderful meal every 15 minutes somebody went by with this stuff smells it's so weird walking through new york and smelling weed yes i don't think my experience of the street should be subject to that

And they're just dangerous overall. Their right to smoke ends where your nostrils begin. Another thing, maybe edibles. You could focus on legalizing edibles and oils. The fact that the left doesn't have, and again, I think we're talking about God a little bit, but because the left doesn't have a moral compass that comes from

anything other than arbitrary, right? They think they can't make a distinction between illegal and immoral. And I think that comes from the fact that they don't have a moral compass that comes from anything other than this is what I think. And this is what feels good to me. So if I don't like it, it should be illegal. If I like it, it should be legal, which is why they're saying things like, oh, hate speech makes me feel bad.

hate speech the things that are that are considered offensive to them make me feel bad so that should be illegal but the drugs they make me feel good so they should be legal and it's that simple it's there's no thought beyond that there's how they come down there's a create their utopia a powerful meme that started in the gaming community about two and a half years ago where gamers would be like oh that that's so powerful that should be illegal they started using the word illegal right around the justice department started going haywire like they were

putting it into the memosphere of calling things illegal when they didn't like them. And underneath it all is this idea of equality, which is a nonexistent trait in human beings. Human beings do not possess the trait equality, except in their qualities of rights, essentially. You have the right to be treated in certain ways. But you're not-- nobody is equal. No two people are equal. I mean, it's just ridiculous.

categories of people aren't equal. Men and women are not equal. They're very, very different. And the idea that any time you say anything that suggests that, for instance, a community of people who can be defined by race are doing something wrong, you must be racist or doing something... You're not. You're just telling the truth.

I don't even think rights are necessarily equal in a granular sense in that men and women have different rights. They have different rights. Because we have different duties and capabilities. Exactly. Yeah. Absolutely. On the macro, we understand the basic function of rights, but when you get into the nitty-gritty, there's going to be things that are different for women and different for men. Except when it comes to rights, there are only two kinds of people.

of people, men and women. I mean, in fact, in some ways there are only two kinds of people, men and women, period. I mean, that is the great divide in human beings. - No, it's a very good point. And I would also add that when it comes to this question of equality, you know, you're correct, we're equal in dignity, right? We are made in God's image and likeness. But when I'm asked if I believe in equality,

i mean my response is i'm not superstitious we're told we're told that it is just defy day that everyone is equal and should have an equal say in all things and have equal access to resources i just don't know what you're talking about there's no society that's ever been able to achieve that it's literally impossible we don't see equality with anything that we measure anywhere um and of course as soon as you say that people accuse you of then suggesting you don't believe humans have equal dignity uh

or that it should be okay to hunt somebody down on the basis of their ethnicity or something ridiculous. But, you know, going back to what you were saying about the Democratic Party and these advertisements they were putting out, it actually ties into Bernie Sanders condemning the direction of the left. I don't like Bernie Sanders. I think he's very wrong about many things. But part of why he was so effective, particularly with young white men, was because what he was talking about, the carrot that he was holding in front of young men is racism.

Here's how we can get you a good paying job. Here's how we can put you in a position where you're able to buy a house. He was talking about things that do and should matter to young men. And he had a lot of young white male followers and the Democrats condemned him for that, for being able to capture a demographic that they desperately need. And so now what the democratic party is doing is actually putting advertising in, in political campaigning in young men's face that basically says, well,

What you should be most concerned about is ensuring that you're capable of being a porn addict, self-abuser whose only concern is whether you can have a one-night stand with whatever woman happens to be willing to look at you. So let's jump to this tweet. We got a couple of tweets going out. If you guys can confirm this, these are just some tweets we have that protests have begun in Chicago. And so let's see if we can play this. She sounds healthy. What?

so it says and the trump era then we have this other other tweet

And activists in Chicago are marching down Dearborn. Activists from Radical Police Abolition Group, the Chicago Alliance Against Racists, and political suppression. So I'm wondering if, can we get any more confirmation on this? Because I'm wary of someone pulling up old tweets and old videos because I don't trust anybody. We've had like a decade of Trump protests. I mean, I'm expecting some of this, but I'm also expecting it to be put down because the Democrats do not need this right now. That's not what they want.

Yeah, and this looks... They were giving up money to protesters. They can't afford anymore. It looked relatively tame, even if it was. Looks like we have a march in NYU chanting, hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go. Okay. That's part of the syllabus. So it does seem like there's definitely protest to some degree. Ryan, here we go. Ryan Fournier says protest in downtown, but once again, it's still citing the same guy. I think this guy, Stu, is down there. He's a citizen journalist. But, you know...

There you go, guys. Protesting democracy, essentially. Well, yeah, democracy is a bad thing now, apparently. All right, we're going to go to Super Chat. So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know. Become a member at TimCast.com. Join the Discord community. Hang out with tens of thousands of people who want to be your friend. No, seriously, the people in Discord are like, Tim, you need to shout out the Discord more because we want more people to come, hang out. They do shows. There's a pre-show. There's an after show. People are working on projects together.

All right, let's go. We got Michael Silberstein says, Wiki National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, Trump truly won nearly every electoral. Interesting. If we did the National Popular Vote, he would have taken it all. It would have been a landslide. All right. Nito says, anyone remember the ad years ago when the mom wakes her son up on the election night to tell him Trump won and the twist was that it was 2024 and it was his third term? Ha ha ha.

I remember that. She's like, son, wake up. He's like, what's wrong, mom? Trump won again. There are presidents who have had more than two terms, by the way. Louie Rodriguez says the House, the Senate, the presidency, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College and the popular vote. The Democrats got the biggest kick in the balls last night. Indeed. Indeed, they did. All right. Evan Baker. What was it? Hope it hurt.

Evan Baker says, time to win the culture war. Please consider buying my young adult fiction book, The Mythical Monsters of Mirosa. It was written for my daughter and she loved it. Found on Amazon. Would make a great Christmas gift. Well, thank you very much, good sir. Andrew uses, if abortion is illegal, then men abandoning women should also be illegal. Man slides over. Your terms are acceptable. I know how liberals reinvent conservatism in the face of consequences. No comment?

What? Shamus on that. Listen, I actually did a cartoon about this where it's like, I think it was like pro-abortion people become based and red-pilled. But...

It's basically just like a pro-lifer who's disguised as a pro-abortion person who's like, well, since they've banned abortion, we really need to have some kind of legal contract that men need to sign before having sex with women. Yeah, he's got to be like, hey, women, here's the thing. Punish the men by not sleeping with them unless they commit to a relationship. And consequences are why there is conservatism. That is what conservatism is about. Yeah, if you do certain things, there are certain consequences. And one of them is shame, by the way. Yes!

We're learning all kinds of things. Delaware X says, what if the left committed voter fraud in Trump's favor, investigate it, and then keep the result tangled in the Supreme Court? That was one of the hypotheses I had several months ago, that we would get an inverse on 2020, and then Democrats would launch their own stop the steal deal.

find evidence and go, aha, look at this. This proves that Trump was trying to steal it again. And then that way, the idea was, and it's a wild theory. I don't think it's true. The idea was that they knew they couldn't win. So what you do is you poison the well with some fraud so it looks like the whole thing could be in question. But Trump would win a contingent election anyway, so it doesn't matter.

One of the things that we have to remember is Donald Trump, who was actually a really good president until COVID hit, he did an excellent job. You know, Trump goes where people love him. I mean, it's one of his traits. I'm not sure he would do that again. But when Schumer and Nancy Pelosi refused to work with him, he was forced to go to the people who liked him, which was conservatives. If they had any wit...

at all. You know, they just like him, you know, the Democrats could have had so many things passed that they wanted. All they had to say was like, Donald Trump,

You look really great today. And he would have been signing their bills. He'd have been like, man, I'm on your team. I think it's also one of his biggest flaws is how much he wants to be loved. Yes. It's great because he helps him be a good collaborator, but he also just... He still, I think, wants to be loved by the press that he hates. That is... Especially in New York. He is a New Yorker to his soul. I mean... And people don't get that about him. It's one of the things...

I think he's like the least racist president we've ever had. And one of the reasons I think he is, is he's a New Yorker. I was a New Yorker for most of my life and when you, for most of my young life. And when you live in New York, you live with everybody. It's not like LA where you can stay in your car and never see a person of another color.

In New York, you're with everybody, and you develop a sense of humor. You rag each other like friends do. You make jokes about it. There's ethnic humor and all this stuff. And he's just that guy. I mean, he's from another generation, but he's still just that guy. And, yeah.

I want to read this as a good one. Derek Watkins says Hamas leaders call for end of war after Trump's election report as reported by Newsweek and Reuters. That's hilarious. He just gets elected. He's the president elect and he's already making the world more peaceful. Vladimir Putin said something. I didn't I didn't see the details about it, but he said something like, yeah, Donald Trump's going to want to end the war and I'll sit down to talk to him about it. There you go. That's a good a good bit.

Trump accomplishing everything but doing literally nothing. Nothing yet. Before he even gets to the White House. He's like walking to the White House and then they're like, we're ending the war. We're ending the war. I swear. He's like, what's going on? What war? And they're like, and they run away. And then he gets, by the time he gets to the White House, he's like, it doesn't seem there's any problems with foreign policy right now. Yeah, like he just makes the whole world like, is like, all right, we're done. Everything's all peaceful. And he's like, it's like January 1st.

All right, here we go. Amanda H says, it's my daughter's first birthday today. Last night she woke up just as they called it. There we were, all snuggled in bed, and then y'all made a toast to Liberty, which is my daughter's name. Happy birthday, Liberty Grace. Happy birthday, Liberty. Amazing. Wow, what a birthday. Yeah, good night. We put up the, Kellen put up a clip from the show right when they announced the winner, and it's got hundreds of thousands of views because it's all, it's all just all basically screaming and cheering and then, you know, singing and stuff.

And everyone wanted to enjoy that moment, I guess. Also, I saw people clipped all of us singing Proud to be an American. Except for me. As you see, I'm on the end not singing anything. I sang Harmony at the end and it was awesome. I was just like, I'm just concerned about what's next. What are we going to do now that we have the power? What do we do? How do we improve? That's all I'm thinking about.

Thanksgiving. Those are valid concerns. We sing. We go to Thanksgiving with MAGA hats. Did you see Trump wants to do a huge, what is it, birthday celebration for the U.S.? Yeah, we have that. Let me see if I can pull that one up because that's big. It's going to be what? It's big. What's up? Is it 250? A whole year. Is it 250? Yeah. Let's play this. Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country's history.

250 years of American independence. What a great country. And we have to keep it that way. But that's why, as a nation, we should be preparing for a most spectacular birthday party. We won't make it the best of all time. Here is my plan to give America's founding

In 1776, the incredible anniversary it truly deserves. On day one, I will convene a White House task force called Salute to America 250. It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure not just one day of celebration, but an entire year of festivities across the nation, starting on Memorial Day

2025 and continuing through July 4th, 2026. That's awesome. Second, I will work with all 50 governors, Republican and Democrat alike, to create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all 50 states. It'll be something. The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the union,

Promote pride in our history and put forth innovative visions for America's future. My hope is that the amazing people of Iowa will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa State Fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world to the heartland of America for this special one-time festival.

Together we will build it and they will come. Third, alongside the Great American State Fair, we will host major sporting contests for high school athletes. These are great

athletes, wonderful athletes from fantastic high schools all around the country. These Patriot Games will allow young Americans from every state to show off the best of American skills, sportsmanship and competitive spirit. Fourth, I will sign an executive order to bring back our National Garden of American Heroes, which we want to build very badly.

Commission artists for the first 100 statues to populate this new statuary park honoring the greatest Americans of all time. Fifth, as president, I will invite the leaders and citizens of nations around the world to visit the United States in honor of our 250th anniversary. It's going to be great.

America's tourist industry should get ready because we're going to have a lot of people coming. It will be a record year. And finally, and most importantly, I will ask America's great religious communities to pray for our nation and our people as we prepare for this momentous occasion. From the very beginning, America has been a country sustained and strengthened by prayer,

and by our communities of faith. As we chart a course toward the next 250 years, let us come together and rededicate ourselves as one nation under God

Thank you. Everything about that's awesome. That's one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Trump's giving us a birthday year. He actually loves the country. The man loves the country. Every state showcasing something about their state. This fair is going to be absolutely incredible. You're going to walk and you're going to be like, I want barbecue. And you're going to walk to the Texas area. You're going to be like, I want a Maxwell Street Polish. You can walk over to the Chicago area or a deep dish pizza. You go to get a big New York slice. You're going to say, I want to go to LA. Yeah, exactly. All right.

I want to see someone shitting in the street. Go to California. This is a total good. It gives people something to... Well, first of all, it's going to stimulate the economy of Iowa and stimulate the economy of all the states that are going to be involved. It's...

it gives people something to look at and say, you know what, I'm proud that I'm an American, which is something that I think that the government should do. The idea that the government has, without question, for the past 10 years, focused more on negative things about America and looked at America and Americans as the bad guys and as a negative force in the world, that's got to end. And then one of the things, just like Seamus said,

Donald Trump, whatever you think about him, he loves America. There's no question about that. He loves America. And I think that that attitude needs to be something that we hold in high esteem. The high school sporting event, I think, is massive because, you know, I was thinking about this a while ago. There's that video from the 50s where all the young men are swinging from the monkey bars or doing push-ups. And people are like, oh, that was like a national athletics competition kind of thing. And I'm like, why aren't we doing that? Why aren't we telling young people?

to be the best, giving them a goal to strive for so they're fit, healthy, active, and successful. You know that is now, in the New York Times, they call that a right-wing meme. Good. Then call me right-wing. People go to the gym and they get fit. That's a right-wing. Punctuality is also an extremist. They say working out makes you more conservative. Yeah.

It's because it's something that you have to actively do regularly, and it's hard. Yeah. And it has consequences. And it also makes guys better guys. All right. Lars Jobes says CNN has gooped on currently and is talking about how health experts are worried about RFK Jr.'s role in the administration. Enjoy the copium. Yeah, get the floor out of the water. Yeah.

get the fake clouds out of the sky yeah so i think one of the most significant things that rfk said he's going to advocate for the removal of fluoride from tap water in all of our cities and it's fascinating because i remember it's like 20 years ago my friend's house

And his sister had a kid. And I see on the counter baby water, nursery water with fluoride. It says with added fluoride. And I was like, why are you giving your baby fluoride water? And she was like, it's good for him. And I was like, in what way? And she goes, fluoride is good for babies. And I was like, I know in what way? She's like, I don't know. They just told me to do it. So I went on the computer. This is like pre-cell phone. And I Googled fluoride.

I went to like the New York Times and I was like, is fluoride good for babies? No, no, no, no, no. And then she was like, huh? And I'm like, all of these sites, like they say, don't do this. And we looked up recently and it was like, actually, fluoride is good for baby's teeth.

And I was like, I'm pretty sure babies who are nursing don't have teeth. That's right. And don't need fluoride water. So it's very strange. They put high fluoride water. Why? You saved that baby's pineal gland. Well, whatever that, we know there's a direct correlation between fluoride consumption and IQ. And the more fluoride you consume, the more IQ goes down. So it's very strange they give babies fluoride. Exactly. Why would they want to do that? And I will stress this fluoride does naturally occur.

Many people said it's an industrial waste. They put it in the water. Okay, they do add fluoride to water, but we got well water. I've run mass spectrometer tests on water, fluoride's in it. It's just low concentrations. And what they found was in areas with high naturally occurring fluoride, the IQs were lower. The fluoride.

The fluorine, the gas, fluorine gas is the most electronegative chemical. It's the chemical that's most likely to rip an electron away from any other molecule, causing free radical damage. So it's a very toxic. Fluorine is very, very rough. Fluoride, of course, is bonded with oxygen, so it has a different property. But fluorine itself is...

You don't want to breathe it in. It's supposed to protect your teeth. That was propaganda. It apparently hardens the enamel, but at the cost of being really bad for the endocrine system is the argument. So it goes through the gums into the bloodstream, and that's where you're supposed to spit out your toothpaste. They tell you not to swallow your toothpaste. But drink your tap water. It's so ridiculous. I don't know if it came from industrial waste. I just don't know. They argue the concentrations in tap water are so low.

that it doesn't matter anyway. And I'm like, okay, well, if I don't need to consume it, why would I? But where I live, I'm on well water. And it's funny because people are showing this, like the map of politics. And I'm like, you guys realize all those blue areas are the fluoride water areas, right? And all the red areas are the fresh well water areas.

And they're like, well, we're smarter than you because we went to college. And I'm like, I don't know. There's something about getting a degree in music business that you never used and racking up 40K in debt that makes me think you're not smarter than me. And 40K, that's kind of low on there these days. Yeah, that sounds nice. I just tweeted this because...

One of the Krasensteins was like, is MAGA proud of this? And he shows, you know, all the highly educated states are blue and all the lower educated states are red. And I'm like, yeah, I'm pretty sure like a tradesman who can actually build a house has more social value than the guy with the music business degree. No offense to music business, but you're not learning how to do music business in college. I agree.

Survey those professors and ask them if they think men can get pregnant, and then I will get back to you. You love how intelligent they are. And the professors were sent home during the lockdowns, whereas the plumbers still had a job in Flourish. People with real jobs still worked. They're in massive debt. They don't know how to build things with their own hands. And they're sitting there going like, but I'm smarter than you. The implication that people are smarter is a little on the dumb side because the...

They all are of the same kind of ideology. And the part of the problem with being like smarter is that you're E2, you're more easily influenced by like ideologies because you're like, Oh, well I'm an intelligent person, so I can't be wrong. So you're, you don't second guess yourself. You don't check your own thinking, especially when you're surrounded by people that are, that have the same opinions and that are ostensibly also smart. And also, um,

They're not talking about actual intelligence. They're talking about education. And there's no reason for you to believe that education is a substitute for intelligence. Education, you can go to college and you can be... And this is the midwit meme, right? So you can be a little bit smarter than average and...

and go and get a college degree and be completely and totally indoctrinated with the ideology and not be particularly smart, but you're well educated because you went to college. That doesn't mean that you're really all that smart. That just means that you have an education. - One of the formative experiences of my life when I was a kid, I was like a drifter for years. I just wandered around the country and I was a,

a coastal kid from an intelligent family. And I would meet all these people all over the country. And often, you'd be talking to them, and they'd say, look, I'm not a smart guy, but it sometimes seems to me X. And X was always really intelligent. Are you not a smart guy? You're not an educated guy? You may not be a sophisticated person. You may not be a coastal person. But you still know. And I saw this all over the place. It changed my entire viewpoint. I think a lot of people-- It's the saying that--

the ignorant are so confident and those who are more are you know more wise are so full of doubt I will I I've got a really great quote is a lot of times people substitute sophistication for intelligence exactly I've got a really great quote C.S. Lewis wrote this in 1945 why you fool it is the educated reader who can be gold all our difficulty comes with the others when did you meet a workman who believed the papers he takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips to the and skips the leading articles

I got one super chat that I want to get through. One last one. Angry Marsupial says, Phil, shame is good. Catholics hold our beers. That's hilarious.
