been some time now.We've all sort of figured out that Trump won and why and what's going on, but we're learning more and more.And wow, news to MSNBC who still can't seem to figure it out.
This, my friends, is a truly incredible story of how leftist liberal elites, white affluent liberal women, have no idea the struggles of the working class, and that includes white people and minorities.
MSNBC star shocked to learn the price of butter as he tries desperately to reconcile Kamala loss.Now I know you might laugh at this.You might be like, I know the price of butter, but this one is for all of my woke liberal affluent friends who don't.
Chelsea Handler sitting there saying, I wake up late.I don't need a family.I can do whatever I want.They're rich.Look at every single celebrity who endorsed Kamala Harris.You think they know how much it costs for milk and eggs?
There was a really amazing post.I will say it.I will sing it to the high heavens.Democrats are learning the hard way that women buy milk and eggs more than they get abortions.That's what the Democrats plan was abortion.
They screamed and it went nowhere. Joe Scarborough tries to say, butters what, three bucks?Micah Brzezinski's like, it's seven.And he goes, what?Listen to this, it'll blow your mind.
To understand that seeing ad after ad after ad in NFL football games, saying that taxpayers were going to be funding transgender surgeries for inmates, it's not something that's gonna play well. in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, among men.
Nobody's saying to be anything but kind to all Americans.This just had to do with responding to the ad and saying, hey, wait a second, that was Donald Trump's policy that they're attacking.But they wouldn't even do that because, again,
They were afraid to offend, always afraid to offend.Somebody who was going to be voting for Kamala Harris came up to me and said, oh, my God, Trump's going to win.I go, why is that?
He goes, I just I went to the grocery store, butters over three dollars.I kind of laughed and I said. I said, well, that's kind of reductive, isn't it?Said it to myself.To him, I smiled and I said, good point.
But it actually, everything we're hearing after the election is... I'm just saying, the seven.What's that?
Butter is $7?Yeah.What, is it framed in gold?Yeah, we're getting butter.It depends on where you go. Okay, well, yeah, okay, well, anyway.
Is it framed in gold?Why is butter $7?Is it framed in gold?Uh, holy crap, my dude. Butter actually is averaging, it depends on where you are.If you include lower cost of living areas, it can be around $3.
I don't know who he was talking to, but dude, in cities, butter is over five bucks.I don't know where she's getting that $7 number from, but it's really high.But did you hear the laughter?I got the hard numbers for you.
You want to see the hard numbers?You want to see why people said I've had enough of this Kamala Harris, Joe Biden economy? I can't believe this dude.Someone comes to you and says, butter $7, and he goes, what?Is it framed in gold?
When was the last time you went to the store, my dude?This guy's salary is reportedly over $8 million.Let me show you those numbers.Before we get into all that, go to casprew.com, where coffee is $15, or you get a bag of coffee.Support the show.

Let's go grab a drink. and then you're sharing the news.Timcast.com support the work, but let me show you those hard numbers.This, my friends right here from the federal reserve, the average price of butter right now is five bucks.I'm not kidding.
In September, the federal reserve has butter costs per pound.That's when you go to the store and you buy that little box, it's got four sticks of butter.That's one pound of butter.It's $5.And I know this because I go buy butter.
You know, it's funny because people comment, they'll be like, shut up, Tim.We know you're rich.When was the last time you went to the grocery store?I go to the grocery store every week.I get my coconut milk.I get my half and half.
And then I get my guac, my little avocado, so I can make my goat cheese omelets in the morning.And of course you can say, you're eating goat cheese omelets?Yes.But I also buy, well, I don't buy eggs.Cause I got chickens, you know what I'm saying?
But we get butter too.And we usually, I'm not going for the crazy organic, I don't know, I just grab butter.As long as the ingredients are butter, cream, salt, or whatever it is, cream, salt, I don't know.Yeah, it's five bucks.
I've been telling you this.You guys watch these videos.I'm like, yo, I went to get strawberries and whipped cream.It is ketogenic.You don't wanna eat too many, but like one big strawberry is only a half carb with a lot of fiber.
So it's actually pretty good for you.You put some whipped cream up on that, And you got keto dessert.Don't overdo it.Don't overdo it.You want a lot of fat in those keto diets.But I'm not a nutritionist, so you go talk to your doctor.I'm just saying.
Six bucks for a can of whipped cream.Six dollars.We used to buy these packs of salamis for our guests.We have them in the fridge.We have salami, cheese, and dip.
So when people are coming in the green room, we're like, we got a bunch of different snacks.We got Cheez-Its.We got M&Ms or whatever. Three years ago, it was $7 a pack for like these, this big thing of little salamis, like just like various flavors.
Like, you know, it's like, you got the spicy one, the red pepper one, the garlic one.I remember this was like a year ago.We go to the store and I grab a bunch of them and we're ringing it up and it was like 200 and something bucks.
And I was like, wait, this can't be right.And they were like, the salamis are now 13.50, they're $13.And I was like, what, they doubled in price? Now I'm not sitting here being like, oh no, it's so hard for me.
I'm telling you, I go to the store and I can see the price spiking.And thanks to the work that we do, I'm afforded the opportunity to buy these things for my staff.We stopped buying the salami.Dude, look, I stock this stuff up for our office.
We're ordering these things, we get the spin drifts, we try to get low sugar, healthier options for everybody and people love it.We get these coconut waters because it's good for you and we're trying to avoid a lot of the garbage.
Most of it's got plastic in it, what are you gonna do?I see these prices.Joe Scarborough's like $7, what is it, framed in gold?That was it right there.Dude, how about I go to Walmart? Here we go.
I chose Walmart in New York, not, okay, this is New York, not New York city.Actually, let, let, let, you can see right there.Let me do this.Let me, let me actually give you the, uh, actual zip code because, um, so, uh, let's see, this is.
So this, okay, so this is basically New York City.That's what I was trying to do.I was trying not to get like Manhattan, because I feel like Manhattan is not representative.But this is Valley Stream, which is basically Long Island.
And it's the Walmart near the airport.So it's kind of suburban New York.It is $5.28 for a pack of Lando Lakes. And if you wanna go with the great value, it's a dollar cheaper.It's $4.
If you go on average, across the board anywhere, Walmart, not in New York, I was like, here was my point.
What is going on for Joe Scarborough when he's like at $7 when we're looking at New York City and we're looking at urban places where we saw across the board, there was a big shift in all demographics for Donald Trump.
How do cities shift their votes in this direction? Yo, it's because if you live outside of New York City, you're on Long Island, and you're trying to get by, what is the guy doing there for work?He works on the train system.He works for the airport.
He's making 15, 20 bucks an hour.He's trying to have a family, trying to pay his bills.Good effing luck.Your butter's $5.Dude, I was talking, there's this viral video where a guy is, he's like, I got two daughters.
They were like seven and 10 years old.I used to spend 300 bucks a week on groceries.Now that $300 only covers two days.But let me, let me, let me, let me, I'll keep it simple for you guys.Yo.
This is the sound of your ride home with dad after he caught you vaping. Awkward, isn't it?Most vapes contain seriously addictive levels of nicotine.And disappointment.Know the real cost of vapes.Brought to you by the FDA.

Joe Scarborough is laughing.What is it, framed in gold?Is it framed in gold?My guy, $5 is the average, is the U.S.city average.Can I stress this?A butter stick per pound, a average price according to the Federal Reserve as of September is $5.
So it's not seven, maybe in New York City it's $7.Micah's right.And he says, is it framed in gold?The dude is so detached from the suffering of the average person.And he's telling you to go vote for Kamala Harris.
And they're sitting there being like, my guy, I can tell you right now.Let me give a shout out to Don Lemon.He goes to Atlantic City and he walks up to a guy and he's like, who are you voting for?And the guy says, Donald Trump.
And he goes, whoa, Donald Trump, why?And he goes, the economy, I'm getting killed.And Don Lemon goes, actually, the economy is really good.And the guy laughs like, oh, okay, buddy. Wealthy Don Lemon, who probably has someone buy groceries for him.
I'll tell you this, Don Lemon probably buys his groceries, but I'm gonna tell you what he does.
He walks in with his little hand cart, throws the butter in, throws the cream, puts the eggs in, grabs some bread, walks up and goes, boop, boop, boop, scans his cart, and he never looks at the price. because he doesn't have to.
So let me tell you, you say, but Tim, why do you look at the price?Are you trying to make a point here?Like, no, I look at the price because we have budgets.
Because when I'm buying groceries, we're trying to track to make sure that when we get stuff, so I go out. I say, here's the stuff I want.I want my coconut milk.
I want my half-and-half because I have to do a little half-and-half, a little coconut milk because you want to get the extra fat in there for your keto diet, right?That's what I do.Then I do my Jocko Milk protein powder.
In the morning, I put my espresso, my Appalachian Nights Brutus Espresso right on top, and this is legit what I do.I got a little shaker.You press a button.It's got a little blender in the bottom.Make my eggs.
When we go to the grocery store, I'm buying stuff for the office too.So I'll say, okay, let's grab like cheese and meat.Let's grab, you know, jerky or whatever other snacks people want to eat while they're working.
And, uh, and we often do, uh, like once a week we do a big order of food for everybody.Unless Allison's out of town and then I eat chicken wings or whatever.And I'm not, I'm not eating as well. So that's all in my budget.I can see it straight up.
I'm looking at those prices.Like, how did we just spend $500 on snacks for the office?That's wild, man.We're trying to have budgets and make sure we're not just wasting money and spending money.
And I can see it, but you know what Joe Scarborough does?He probably just, he don't even look.I'm willing to bet Scarborough doesn't buy his own groceries. And it's not just about him being rich.I think it may be security issues as well.
Like he goes out, people might be yelling at him or something.Cause I get that, I get that.I live in a rural area, so I mostly don't worry about it.Most of the people who are like, you know, who recognize me are fans and I'm not really worried.
If I was in the city, I'd be a little bit more worried, but I gotta be honest, in Nashville especially, depending on the city, like everybody's just like, oh yo, what up, fist bump.And we're cool, we're cool.
But this dude probably has somebody get the food for him. And that's why he thinks $7 butter is framed in gold.Butter's over $3.Actually, it's $5, my dude.On Thursday, the host also said Harris' loss was partly to Democrats being afraid to offend.
That's true, too.Illegal immigration, the mass border crossings.Yes, they put a bill out there.Yes, that was good, but there wasn't anything more definitive on that.No, it was bad.And everybody knows it.You lied.
That was something that concerned Hispanic voters.It's something that concerned black voters.That is something that concerned all voters.
Scarborough said Republican ads highlighting Democrats' stance on transgender surgeries were successful in driving voters from Harris, and that liberals were too afraid to fire back at the GOP.But this is what they actually believe.
He said they didn't respond to it because they were afraid to respond to it, because it might offend some small subset of their base.The thing is, nobody is saying to be anything but kind to all Americans.Okay, well, I tell you this.
There's a viral video right now. Donald Trump is saying that he's going to end the gender surgery stuff.Everyone's sharing it.It's not new.It's from almost two years ago.
When Donald Trump was announcing he was running for office again, one of his principal positions was the end of the gender ideology nonsense.But you know what?I it's fine.I agree, but I'm going to put it like this.
Look no further, my friends, if you're trying to understand what happened this election, and I hope all of you share this with a liberal, you know, because they're right now saying things like, it's racism, it's sexism, it's misogyny, it's transphobia, cast that all aside.
It's the economy, stupid.That's what we're dealing with.So when MSNBC is telling everybody to vote for Kamala, and you believe them, And Joe Scarborough doesn't even know the cost of basic goods that people buy every day.
If you are an uppity, well-to-do liberal in some suburb, and you are watching Joe Scarborough and CNN, you believed it all.
I'd like to give a shout out to our good friend, Kyle Kalinsky, who actually entertained, he said, my bearish prediction for Kamala is that she wins Iowa and Florida.He didn't say it specifically, he had a map.
He said she's gonna win every swing state, Florida and Iowa. Nobody in their right mind actually believed she could win Iowa.He said my what I think will likely happen is that she wins every swing state.
Okay, no sane person thought Kamala would win literally every swing state.He said my worst case scenario is that she wins 276.Trump maybe gets Arizona.The funny thing about it is Arizona, you know, so he had her winning Arizona.
Arizona wasn't a swing state. said it was, it is listed as a swing state, but by the time we approached the election, it was lean Republican.
Well, it was not a toss up, I should say, but he's watching MSNBC and CNN and they're just vomiting into his face and he believes it.And he was so insanely wrong.So you share this with your liberal friends so they can understand.
Joe Scarborough is lying to people. Well, let me put he's wrong.I think he lies a lot.I think many of them do.But I think largely he's wrong.He was just wrong about what was going on.He did not know.He said butter was three bucks.
It was almost double that.So for regular people to watch MSNBC, I tell you this. Scarborough goes, butter's three bucks.There's probably a guy sitting there going, no, it's not.It was 5.29.I just went to the grocery store.
I bought a four pack of butter for my family and it was five bucks.Imagine you make $20 an hour.You got to work.If you want to buy butter for the month and you have a family, one hour of labor.
And look, I don't know, is a pound of butter too much for a family?I think a pound of butter you're probably gonna go through in a week if you have an average size family.So who can live off 20 bucks an hour?
No wonder they're saying we want a $20 minimum wage.Nobody can afford rent and food.And then these Democrats, these millionaires on TV who don't do their own shopping and don't know the cost are sitting there telling you, nah, nah, nah, it's fine.
The economy is fine.That's the sad reality for so many liberals. live in the suburbs.Maybe they come from a family that makes 100 plus.I'll tell you this.Trump won among working class voters.Democrats won people who made $100,000 or more.
And I tell you this exactly why.Because the people who make a lot of money don't look at the price of butter.They don't.The people who are making above six figures go to the grocery store, fill up the cart and go, wow, it's 300 today. That's it.
And the people who are making 50 K voted for Trump because they're coming back from the grocery store.And I'm like, I just can't, I can't make ends meet, man.
You know, when I was, when I was young, when I worked for a O'Hare airport, I was getting paid 1175 an hour as an acting crew chief.I could not afford rent.I was working 40 hours a week.I could not.And sometimes with overtime.
So it maybe came out to like 45 hours, five hours of overtime. I could not, it was, it's mandatory overtime.So you don't get paid after, uh, it, you could work eight hours, but if they make you work longer than one day, you get paid overtime.
And, um, with my paychecks, I remember one day I had to choose between paying, uh, for license, my license plate registration, which was like, I think it's like 40 bucks or something.I don't know.Maybe it was 25.I, uh, couldn't afford rent.
So I was crashing at a friend's house.A guy who worked at the airport had a house and he was like, we got a room in the basement, it's all yours.And I owed him money, but he knew I didn't have any.
And I'm sitting here being like, how do I work 40 hours a week?And I have to choose right now between food or shoes. Fortunately, I called my dad and I was like, I need shoes.And he's like, well, look, you're working.At least you're working.
I'll get you a pair of shoes.$30, got a pair of shoes.And I thought to myself, something isn't right.I'm an acting crew chief.It's not a high level position.It's a second tier.It's like assistant manager.
It means that if a crew chief is sick, you can fill that role, but you're not a crew chief on a normal basis. And I was like, I'm getting almost 12 bucks an hour.I'm working 40 hours a week with overtime and I can't afford my car.
I can't afford my car payment, my insurance.I can't afford gas.It's impossible.And I don't know what to do.So ultimately it just really just fell apart for me there.I ended up quitting, ended up being a homeless and living out of my car.
The car got repossessed.It's a struggle, huh? I can't imagine what it must be like for the average working class person who knows these situations and says, every day, I am wondering how I'm going to pay my bills.
And I am juggling between late payments, late fees, overdraft fees.I have to choose gas for my car to get to work or food for my family.I went to the grocery store and my milk was $4. I couldn't get whipped cream this time.No splurging.
We just, we didn't get the butter.We got the margarine.We got the margarine garbage plastic.It's garbage food.It makes your family sick and it costs you a dollar 50 and that people just wanted butter.
Reminds me of V for Vendetta, when that character Evie is like, is this real butter?I haven't had it since I was a kid.How'd you get it?It's like I stole it from the chancellor's cart.
That's the world they want to build, where the powerful elites can get any product they want.They have the finest foods, fresh Wagyu beef, never stored in plastic, only in glass, shipped overnight, never frozen.It's incredible.
The average person is eating hydrolyzed soy protein emulsifications called cheese.They can't legally call it cheese, but you know, they'll call it American pasteurized processed cheese product.And it's going to be made with soy oil.
And it's basically plastic.I go to the restaurants, I go to the diners every day.They don't use butter anymore.They're spraying the pan with hydrogenated cottonseed oil or some other nasty garbage.And I don't want to eat it.
So I don't want to go to these diners.It's not real food.And, you know, regular people are willing to eat whatever garbage they can, and it's making everyone sick.And then you get the wealthy elite saying, what's the problem?
Just vote for Kamala Harris. I got news for the Democrats.Go look at the prices and compare them from yesterday to today.And what are you going to see?Can you believe this?When Donald Trump was president, butter was averaging four bucks.
Yeah, absolutely.But guess what?Into twenty nine, twenty nineteen butter prices dropped.This is pre covid.When covid struck, butter did drop down, but it was still lower.The moment Joe Biden and Harris get in, prices start going up.There's a dip.
There is.And then look at this.It's insane.Butter prices skyrocketing.And then right before an election, they hit $5.I know, I know.Butter, butter, butter.It's everything.So that's why it happened.

You may have seen the news that Dragon Age the Veil Guard is getting dragged because they have this weird scene where a character misgenders a god, I think, and then has to perform a barb, it's called, where they do push-ups because how dare you?
How dare you misgender someone?You may also be saying, Tim, holy crap, it's election week, why?Well, look, You know, there's only so much you can do.
Sometimes we want to talk about our cultural issues, and admittedly, this is a pre-recorded segment from earlier in the week because I want to make sure I have segments for you guys.
Considering this week is pretty crazy, I figured it'd be fun to talk about some popular culture and shenanigans.So we have this game coming out called Dragon Age.
If you're not familiar, it's supposed to be a big triple-A release, one of the best games, and the previous Dragon Age games were pretty awesome.The story is that there's a couple right now.
Where a cutscene went viral, where I mentioned this character is like, she said this, oh, heavens me, I mean, they better do push-ups.And it's like two and a half minutes long, and everyone's like, dude, we get it, geez, chill, it's kind of creepy.
But now you have this story where apparently critics, people who are critical of the game, are not getting review codes, which means they can't play the game. because they were not too nice about what they were saying about the game.
And look, some of these guys are saying, that's reality, man.If you want to criticize a game, the marketing department's not going to give you access.But that just goes to show, people are not happy with the direction of this game as of right now.
I don't know.A lot of positive reviews, though.But we'll start here.And then we'll talk about Get Woke, Go Broke, and This game is so psychotically absurd.The story, of course, that I believe is outside of just them withholding review codes.
Top surgery scars for character creation in a game where you can turn into a giant spider.Yeah.Okay, let's break down the deranged psychotic mentality of these leftists.First, take a look at this. This one is more normal, but this is where we begin.
WolfheartFPS says, three creators, myself included, were a bit more critical than others with their hands-on time with Dragon Age The Veil Guard.Not a single one of us will be getting a review code with time to actually give opinions before release.
It's obvious.You criticize the game for being weird and creepy, they're not gonna let you review it because you'll negatively impact sales.I get it, I don't blame them.Take a look at this post from KotakuInAction.
They say these reviews all have the same phrasing in it because it's a cult.Dragon Age The Veil Guard is a triumphant return to form, says Checkpoint Gaming.Places Universe says, without a doubt, a return to form.
Digital Trends says The Veil Guard is a return to form.IGN Portugal says a return to form.Pure Xbox says it's a return to form.Weird.Why are they all saying the exact same thing?Dude, this is creepy.
But let's talk about the fantasy elements of a game that's supposed to be fantasy but needs top surgery scars. The new Dragon Age game will include customizable top surgery scars.
An early look at character creation system includes plenty of options for transgender fans of the franchise.So here's a character you can make, and of course, there are mastectomy scars under the chest.And I immediately thought, why?
Most of these RPG games exist in a reality where people turn into other people. Like in Baldur's Gate, for instance, there's an extremely common ability where you can transform into any other person, male or female.
And it's used by illusionists and rogues with magic powers to trick.So, I mean, Baldur's Gate's a fantastic game, by the way. But let's say you play a character who is, there's a drow, right?Drow is one of the races in Baldur's Gate.
They're dark under-elves.They're elves, but they're like Nazis or something.And so, when you're walking around on the surface, people frequently in the game, other characters, will just be like, a drow, here?
But you have strange views, and you're considered evil. So you can change your form so that you appear differently and then these things don't happen.You see how that works?
But quite literally in the game, you can choose to change from... You can cast a spell to make yourself a female elf or a male elf or whatever you want to do.Here's what they say.Half of the fun of a role-playing game is in character creation.
And in Dragon Age The Veil Guard, players will find a wealth of riches available to them when the game drops on Halloween next month.Dragon Age, blah blah blah, Electronic Arts, blah blah blah.
Players may also select from a variety of facial scars, including an on-off toggle for top surgery scars, a boon for transgender fans who want their character to reflect their own identity.
I just, if you identify as a man, why not just make a man character?Why do you need to have a female character who has top scars?I don't know.
I was absolutely blown away that Scottish transmasculine Twitch streamer Ooni Fadewalker, aka Eddie, in a video on his YouTube channel showcasing his experience with the creator.
It's beautiful to see inclusion in the game and see yourself represented in the game in this way is wonderful.It's a fantasy game.Why would you not just like... Just make a character that represents the character you want to play.Okay.
You know what this says to me?It says that trans is its own identity for these people, and this is true.You take a look at that story where there were two females who had an OnlyFans, and what they were doing, they stuffed their underwear.
Yeah, it's weird.And then were selling subscriptions, and trans women were like, stop mocking my gender!It's like, what? It's just so weird, isn't it?
The idea that a person would want to identify as a man, or literally identify as a man, but they'll make a character that's female, with scars, who got surgery, shows that their true identity is that in and of themselves.
A transmasculine person, that's what they call it, or a transman.Not a man.But then they demand you call him a man.Okay.Let's talk about how stupid this is.The mirror of transformation in Dragon Age, ooh, what could this be?
The Mere of Transformation is part of the Black Emporium downloadable content for Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition.It allows the player to return to the character creator menu and change their character's appearance.Oh.
The Mirror of Transformation is an insidious and twisted device.When you alter your appearance as a device, it doesn't just change who you are, but it changes who you were and will be in the future.
It selects from one of the infinite possible universes where you were brought up with a different lineage, and twists that thread of history into the current experienced reality.
The ripples of this action affect your family and other people's memory of your appearance as well.Heavens me!So in this lore of Dragon Age, the Mirror will change your appearance into anything you want.Ah, ah, ah! Yeah, but only like your nose size.
You can't actually change your gender or race.No kidding.There's a post, I don't know if I have it pulled up.Is this it?No, it's not.Where people were saying like, can I use this to change gender or race?Like, no, you can't.
It can change your hair color, your facial features, your eyes and all that, but not gender or race.Okay, the same is true for Baldur's Gate.The question is why? For real, why?
It could be because of relationships in these games, but if you're able to just, I don't know, have a relationship with whoever you want, why would it matter in these games when like dudes are with dudes and chicks are with chicks?
I honestly have no idea. But here it is.The lore of a game that makes quite literally no sense, that's resulting in people saying, uh, maybe it's not a good game and doesn't quite make sense.This is what I'm saying about this stuff.
You gotta watch your kids when they play games like this.Because they will inject the ideology into the minds of your children.
Now, for one thing, I don't know that I'm a big fan of the overly sensationalized fictional realities that we instill in our children.
I think there's a time and place for fantasy and adventure and movies, but I really do feel that it's becoming very heavy.
And it's driving weaker-willed individuals into wanting to live in virtual worlds where they can be dragon slayers and they play video games all day.It's more fun.As an adult, I think it's fine.
I think for kids, kids need to understand what the world is, how to do hard work, and how to survive.If you put kids in these fantasy realities too soon, their brains break.Not all of them.
But man, you know there are actually people who believe Harry Potter is real, I'm not kidding.They think that Harry Potter is real and that J.K.
Rowling is a witch who wrote the history of the Great Wizarding War so that everybody would know their history but think it wasn't real and the Muggles wouldn't, they're nuts.But there are people who believe this.
There are people who wanna be cartoon animals.If you take a young kid and you keep telling them, look at these magical worlds, look at these heroes, look at the things they do, they're gonna wish that's what they were.
So how many kids wish they were superheroes and grew out of it?That's totally fine.How many people didn't, and they don't, and they become depressed because the world doesn't align with the worldview that they wanted?
Yeah, I think that's kind of bad.Ultimately though, I'm not saying it's that big a deal.
The bigger point here is, they're going to instill this worldview in kids, where it's like, you can be a wizard who can turn into a spider and a bear and like, that's like a huge point of this game or whatever.
Shapeshifters, I don't think they actually have it pulled up or whatever.You can like, in the game, you can turn into a bear.It's like a normal, it's like, I'm a shapeshifter, I'm a bear now.Ah, then you fight.
But heavens be, if you want to change genders, you need to get top scars, top surgery. The reason they're doing this is because they want children to associate the world of fantasy and magic with this stuff.
They want kids to see it and normalize it and accept it and make it a part of their worldview.That's literally what they're doing.There's no debate.That's the point.They say we want kids to be exposed to this.I'm saying it can be confusing for kids.
It's fine if adults do what they want to do, but I don't think you should be jamming this stuff down children's throats.Hence, Some people are not too thrilled with the latest release, and it's a bummer.I'm a big fan of the Dragon Age games.
There's some cringe stuff in them for sure, but this has gone way over the top.Who are they marketing to?I don't know, but you know, hey look, I am a wealthy late 30s guy.
And I am someone who's got disposable income and wants to spend it on things that are fun.I periodically play video games, sometimes, not all the time. Fine.Sell your video games to early 20-somethings who don't have the money to pay for it.
Seems weird to me.That's why they say this is a key demo.It's the money-spending demo.It's 18 to 34.They're going for the younger bent in that.If they just did Top Scars were available, I'd say nothing.I'd be like, that's weird.
But that weird cutscene with the pronouns, I'm like, I ain't playing it. I'm not gonna play this game.Dude, get woke, go broke.Keep your weirdo creepy garbage out of my fighting dragons, okay?
Now there's a big controversy with Magic the Gathering because they're having a Spongebob set, I guess, but I'm stoked on that!I can't wait to make a Squidward deck!Screw you guys, I'm making a Squidward commander and you can't stop me!
It's actually silly, but whatever, man.Anyway, it's a special, I recorded this early.Look, I'm gonna tell you guys, I like to record certain segments early that are more evergreen.
So I have the weekend show up and I can spread out recordings for other shows.But considering election week, yo, I have no idea what's gonna happen.Come Friday, we could be living in a bunker.Have fun, play your video games.Maybe it's what you need.
