Transcript

00:00:00.000 61 Antifa activists or whatever you want to call them have been indicted on RICO charges
00:00:13.000 out of Georgia.
00:00:14.000 And this is on top of the 20 or so that have already been charged with domestic terrorism for the actions they took at Stop Cop City, which includes firebombing and throwing bricks and other objects, as well as, you know, there was a shootout and there was a bunch of violence and destruction that happened all around the area in Atlanta, outside of Atlanta, where they burned down houses, flipped over vehicles and destroyed them.
00:00:36.000 Really interesting these charges dropped today when we're getting news that Enrique Tarrio received 22 years in prison.
00:00:42.000 He was sentenced despite not actually being at January 6th.
00:00:47.000 Why did he get 22 years in prison?
00:00:49.000 Because he texted other Proud Boys cheering them on during January 6th.
00:00:54.000 And that's it.
00:00:55.000 Ladies and gentlemen, There's a lot of news today and trying to figure out which one is the one to go is really tough.

00:01:01.000 Joe Biden's saying he's gonna start wearing a mask again.
00:01:03.000 Fauci's saying he'll be really upset if nobody wears masks and they recommend it.
00:01:07.000 You've got Tucker Carlson dropping a trailer for an interview with the guy who claims that he was having adult relations with Barack Obama.
00:01:14.000 Man, Elon Musk is suing the Anti-Defamation- or threatening to sue the Anti-Defamation League, and then, of course, Russian TV personalities have threatened to nuke the United States in retaliation if the U.S.
00:01:26.000 engages in war with Russia.

00:03:18.000 Right on.
00:03:19.000 Should be interesting, considering we have that story going around about that personality saying they're gonna nuke the United States.
00:03:25.000 I think it's BS, but of course, you know, we'll get into it and we'll break that down.
00:03:27.000 So, should be fun.
00:03:28.000 Thanks for hanging out.
00:03:29.000 Thank you.
00:03:29.000 We got Hannah Clare hanging out.
00:03:31.000 Hey, I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow.
00:03:32.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.
00:03:34.000 It's the best news on the planet, and you should read it all the time.
00:03:36.000 Ian's here, too.
00:03:37.000 Actor, musician, writer, Ian Crosland.
00:03:37.000 Hi, everyone.
00:03:39.000 Happy to be here at Ian Crosland.
00:03:41.000 Hit me up on the internet, but let's get rolling.
00:03:42.000 What's up, Kellan?
00:03:43.000 Hello, everybody.
00:03:44.000 I'm filling in for Serge.
00:03:45.000 He's under the weather today, but I'm here pushing buttons.
00:03:48.000 Let's get started.
00:03:49.000 We got this story from the Associated Press.
00:03:52.000 61 indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges connected to stop cop city movement.
00:03:59.000 I love this stuff.
00:03:59.000 They say 61 people have been indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges.
00:04:03.000 In the sweeping indictment released Tuesday, Republican Attorney General Chris Carr, interesting name, alleged the defendants are militant anarchists who supported a violent movement that prosecutors traced to the widespread 2020 racial justice protest.
00:04:16.000 The August 29 indictment is the latest application of the state's anti-racketeering law, also known as a RICO law, that comes just after Fulton County prosecutor used the statute to charge former President Donald Trump.
00:04:28.000 and 18 other defendants. The stop cop city effort has gone on for more than two years,
00:04:33.000 and at times veered into vandalism and violence. Opponents fear the training center will lead to
00:04:37.000 greater militarization of the police, and that its construction in an urban forest will exacerbate
00:04:42.000 environmental damage in the poor majority black area. I love that qualifier.
00:04:47.000 That defense of these far-left extremists.
00:04:50.000 Let me just pull up their Wikipedia entry on StopCopCity, and they say, domestic terror charges.
00:04:55.000 20 people in all were hit with these charges going back to January and December.
00:05:00.000 On March 6, it was reported, 23 people had thrown large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and threw fireworks at police, as well as having set buildings and equipment on fire, had been charged with domestic terrorism.
00:05:12.000 Only two of them were from Atlanta.
00:05:14.000 One was from France.
00:05:16.000 And one rush from Canada.
00:05:17.000 But thank you, AAP, for adding that needless caveat, or not caveat, but qualifier, that they're worried it will make environmental damage worse in this poor majority black area.
00:05:29.000 This is the issue when it comes to the left, when it comes to the right.
00:05:32.000 Even when you get serious criminal charges, now 81 it appears, the media will do everything to protect them.
00:05:39.000 Take a look at this from NPR.
00:05:41.000 Domestic terrorism charges in Georgia are prompting concern over political repression.
00:05:45.000 And they start the story by saying, when Luke Harper went to Atlanta in early March, he thought he would be staying the weekend.
00:05:51.000 A 27-year-old copywriter from Florida was just going to go there to join a demonstration in opposition to the police.
00:05:56.000 But on a second night, after attending a music festival with other protesters, he was ARRESTED and accused of being a domestic terrorist.
00:06:03.000 Maybe it was like, I don't know, when that dude opened fire on police, I think more than one, and the cops shot back and one of them died, or when they went around burning buildings.
00:06:11.000 But this is what you get.
00:06:12.000 Right now, the other big news, which we'll get into in a second, is that Enrique Tarrio, who is not even at January 6th, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison, and what do you think the media is saying about him?
00:06:21.000 Well, they're definitely going to call him a domestic terrorist.
00:06:23.000 I mean, the contrast between the treatment of these two groups or two types of people is insane.
00:06:30.000 It's impossible not to see it as inflammatory and an attempt to try and push differences.
00:06:37.000 I mean, yes, the AP has an article about this, but it's not being picked up the same way.
00:06:41.000 So few people know about what's going on in Georgia.
00:06:44.000 I mean, I honestly think, Tim, you're one of the people who talk about it the most.
00:06:47.000 And that's crazy because it's a year long, essentially, It's interesting.
00:06:52.000 that's all that has repeatedly come to violence. January 6th, while complicated
00:06:57.000 and obviously made a national impression, was one day and did not cause nearly the
00:07:02.000 destruction that this is happening to Fulton County. So I just don't understand it.
00:07:05.000 It's interesting, I think you know a lot of people are celebrating the indictment
00:07:09.000 but this came from, I think this indictment is coming from the state
00:07:12.000 level, not from the local level and it's unsurprising that you know the Atlanta
00:07:16.000 area which is left-leaning Democrat isn't doing anything for the most part
00:07:22.000 And it's the state-level government.
00:07:24.000 But I'm curious.
00:07:25.000 I don't know exactly where this goes.
00:07:26.000 I will say I am surprised and shocked that any charges came about.
00:07:31.000 But then again, Georgia is a weirdly... How do you describe it?
00:07:36.000 It's a red state, right?
00:07:37.000 Kind of?
00:07:39.000 It's red but it has several major democratic strongholds.
00:07:44.000 It's a more interesting and demographically complicated state than a lot of red states which are majority white or something like that.
00:07:51.000 It makes sense that it's a battleground state because it's in conflict with itself as much as it is with many other parts of the U.S.
00:07:58.000 I think it's always good to just take it back to the point, like these people are going to get maybe a few years behind bars if that, you know.
00:08:05.000 It's a slap on the wrist and they're literally committing domestic terrorism, they're treasonous maybe even, and look at that, they get a few years but they're trying to lock up Julian Assange for the rest of his life.
00:08:15.000 Oh, I mean, the Julian Assange thing is an assassination.
00:08:18.000 Yeah.
00:08:18.000 Right?
00:08:18.000 Yeah.
00:08:19.000 And with this Antiva thing, they've not even been sentenced.
00:08:22.000 These are charges.
00:08:24.000 Don't be surprised if, like, in D.C., on, it was the January 20th, 2017 protests, yes, they criminally charged 200-some-odd people with conspiracy, and it was a big, like, oh, heavens!
00:08:35.000 And then what happened?
00:08:36.000 They all got acquitted, charges were dropped, and then they were paid millions of dollars in a lawsuit.
00:08:41.000 So we're seeing this now, but at the same time, the inverse story is about people who are being raided.
00:08:46.000 This is the crazy thing.
00:08:47.000 They're starting to raid more people over January 6th.
00:08:50.000 They were waiting for an election year.
00:08:52.000 So yeah.
00:08:52.000 And then, you know, to your point, Julian Assange.
00:08:54.000 Oh boy.
00:08:56.000 Yeah.
00:08:57.000 Look, Julian Assange is a real threat to the established order.
00:09:01.000 Julian Assange did everything appropriately, and unless any information has been kept secret, I can only see him doing journalistic activities.
00:09:10.000 And that is really damaging.
00:09:11.000 So what do they do?
00:09:12.000 Oh, they lock him up, and they essentially try to... Let's just say they silenced him, right?
00:09:18.000 What these lunatics are doing in Atlanta is just chaos.
00:09:21.000 They've killed people.
00:09:23.000 They've killed people.
00:09:23.000 I mean, there's... In Atlanta, they killed people?
00:09:25.000 You said they've shot... They've, uh... They shot a cop.
00:09:28.000 The cop didn't die.
00:09:29.000 Okay, well, they've shot more bullets at Americans than Putin's army has.
00:09:33.000 We'll leave it at that.
00:09:34.000 Alright, fair point!
00:09:35.000 I mean, that's true.
00:09:36.000 But you hear nothing about it in the press.
00:09:38.000 Actually, there are Americans on the ground fighting in Ukraine, so they are getting shot at by Putin's forces, but they're not, like, I guess, declared U.S.
00:09:47.000 personnel?
00:09:48.000 They're not there doing official business of the U.S.
00:09:50.000 Yeah, I don't think that matters, to be honest.
00:09:53.000 Like, the U.S.
00:09:54.000 intentionally has people there, is intentionally engaging in this conflict.
00:09:57.000 What do you mean?
00:09:58.000 They're not in war with Ukraine, we're just sending them tons of money and military support.
00:10:02.000 Yeah, and intelligence and volunteers and weapons for those volunteers and training for those volunteers.
00:10:07.000 Well, we love service in this country.
00:10:09.000 We think it's great to help other people.
00:10:10.000 I think the Antifa story is so interesting because this is sort of the heaviest hit that I've seen to Antifa.
00:10:19.000 I mean, Portland cannot get their situation under control.
00:10:22.000 And in contrast, it's the same day that we see the longest sentence handed down to anyone involved in anything related to January 6th.
00:10:29.000 I mean, if you can't see that the justice system has favorites, I don't know what we'll tell you.
00:10:35.000 I don't know.
00:10:37.000 How people can have faith in any sort of judicial branch, if state or whatever, or anything.
00:10:43.000 I mean, the federal government is sending thousands of people.
00:10:47.000 They've charged thousands of people.
00:10:49.000 I think it's 1,106, the last DOJ number I saw, in connection to January 6th.
00:10:54.000 600 people at least have been sentenced.
00:10:56.000 And in contrast, you know, Justin Jones, who's a state representative in Tennessee, got reinstated
00:11:02.000 after he led a, you know, protest on the floor of the chamber that disrupted official proceedings.
00:11:09.000 I assume that's also a form of seditious conspiracy, but Tennessee has not gone after him for that.
00:11:13.000 I mean, well, it just shows that, like, there are some things that we are willing to let
00:11:17.000 slip by depending on what you're promoting.
00:11:19.000 I do want to give a shout out to Christopher Carr of Georgia.
00:11:24.000 It's funny because our executive editor is named Chris Carr.
00:11:28.000 He was absent last week.
00:11:29.000 He was on vacation.
00:11:29.000 I wonder what he was up to.
00:11:30.000 Maybe he's actually moonlighting as the Georgia Attorney General.
00:11:34.000 We often talk about how it's like we see not a single Republican or conservative do anything as the left runs rampant, firebombing.
00:11:41.000 Well, he is!
00:11:42.000 He is!
00:11:43.000 Shout-out!
00:11:44.000 Now, I mean, B-C+, right?
00:11:47.000 It's good that these psychopaths who are firebombing buildings, burning them down, flipping over vehicles, shooting at cops, it's good they're being criminally charged, and he's going after them with some, like, he's going after these, Rico, good!
00:11:59.000 They conspire, they plan these things.
00:12:01.000 There's the crazy video of like a hundred plus people, I hope he gets all of them and arrests all of them.
00:12:06.000 There is a difference, however.
00:12:07.000 I don't...
00:12:09.000 I don't much care for, like, tit-for-tat in the sense that, you know, in Georgia, they indict Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican Party, and then you get a guy saying, oh yeah, I'm gonna arrest some extremists who are at this cop thing.
00:12:20.000 I'm like, those are totally different territories.
00:12:23.000 I'm still glad that it's happening.
00:12:24.000 It's not exactly what everyone is asking for when it comes to corruption.
00:12:28.000 You've got Democrats who have complained about the election, who lobbied election officials, who begged people to vote for somebody else, who claimed Trump was a Russian spy.
00:12:36.000 That's seditious conspiracy.
00:12:38.000 When you have Hillary Clinton, you know, effectively, correct me if I'm wrong, but funding the Steele dossier, resulting in a fine and a bunch of other things, I mean, that's seditious conspiracy.
00:12:48.000 Accusing the President of being a spy to try and win an election, that is stealing power, trying to... I guess the only argument is Trump wasn't in office at the time.
00:12:58.000 And Joe Biden was.
00:13:00.000 But the problem is we see all of that, and there's no action being taken against any of the Democrats who are in office who are pushing this stuff.
00:13:08.000 Yeah, it seems crazy.
00:13:09.000 One step at a time, I suppose.
00:13:11.000 I'm with you.
00:13:12.000 I'm glad that these violent protesters are facing justice, but I am concerned that... Protesters.
00:13:19.000 Yeah, you could call it that.
00:13:20.000 A violent protest riot.
00:13:21.000 These people that were shooting at the cops.
00:13:23.000 Terrorists.
00:13:23.000 Yeah, for sure.
00:13:25.000 And, uh, but what concerns me a little bit is that it's, uh, I think you mentioned tit for tat that the bar is getting raised.
00:13:31.000 Like, okay, now we've decided it's okay to charge someone with 80 counts of this.
00:13:36.000 Now we're going to go with someone over there.
00:13:38.000 Okay.
00:13:39.000 Because like you said earlier, there's the left, the right, and the establishment.
00:13:41.000 The establishment don't care what side of the culture war you're on.
00:13:45.000 It will use that side's justification to go after that side, and then that side's justification to go back after that side, and then happily stay on top of the hill.
00:13:53.000 So, I don't like this escalation of lawfare, but, you know, the guys that are shooting at cops, they need to go.
00:13:59.000 It is lawfare, but the last thing I'll say is that, like you said, the people that have committed all these war crimes in Syria or in wherever, you know, they're never going to be held accountable.
00:14:10.000 Those are the untouchables.
00:14:11.000 I'm pretty sure Obama won an award called the Peace Prize.
00:14:14.000 Yeah.
00:14:15.000 And, you know, he blew up kids.
00:14:16.000 He's such a peaceful guy.
00:14:17.000 Airstriking, you know, wedding processions, all that stuff.
00:14:20.000 Yeah.
00:14:21.000 Here's an important piece of the AP news that y'all are going to love.
00:14:24.000 They say among those charged with domestic terrorism in March, near the music festival, an indicted last week is Thomas Juergens, a Southern Poverty Law Center staff attorney.
00:14:32.000 Juergens' lawyer said his client wore a bright green hat, a well-known identifier used by legal observers, and his arrest alarmed many human rights organizations.
00:14:39.000 The law center called an example of heavy-handed law enforcement intervention against protesters.
00:14:45.000 DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston, a Democrat, mentioned her concerns about Juergen's prosecution in announcing her June decision to withdraw from criminal cases connected to the movement.
00:14:56.000 Listen, my friends.
00:15:01.000 Just explain to me where you think this country is currently at when the Democrat district attorney outright says they are not going to prosecute or be involved in criminal cases against terrorists, and Fulton County is trying to indict the frontrunner for their rival political party and his lawyers.
00:15:19.000 Just call it whatever you want.
00:15:20.000 I don't care.
00:15:21.000 Literally don't.
00:15:21.000 But, uh, yo, something crazy is going on.
00:15:25.000 Something absolutely insane is happening.
00:15:26.000 We have 81 people being charged with either conspiracy or domestic terror by a Republican, and a Democrat being like, I'm not going to be involved in any of those criminal charges.
00:15:34.000 Like, these people, shut it, cops!
00:15:36.000 And then they're like, the January 6th should be rounded up.
00:15:39.000 Enrique Tarrio gets 22 years in prison.
00:15:40.000 Dude wasn't even there?
00:15:42.000 Wasn't even there.
00:15:43.000 Well, and the majority of the people arrested are out of state in Georgia, for Stop Cop City, right?
00:15:49.000 So, Georgia's literally under attack from people who are not from Georgia, and their attorney general is like, no, it's fine, I'm not interested in taking part.
00:15:58.000 Yeah, what is this, domestic?
00:15:59.000 They call it domestic terrorism, but if a guy from France comes to the United States and commits an act of terrorism, that's not domestic terrorism.
00:16:05.000 Domestic means that they are Americans attacking America.
00:16:07.000 Yeah, but there's a French guy and a Canadian guy.
00:16:09.000 Yeah, apparently, so it's just straight up...
00:16:12.000 International terrorism.
00:16:13.000 These guys came to the United States to wreak havoc on cops.
00:16:16.000 That's international terrorism.
00:16:18.000 If this was happening in Hungary or some other country, they'd be sending in Victoria Nuland to go and launch a coup and install a new government.
00:16:27.000 We're literally living in a banana republic right now.
00:16:29.000 It's insane.
00:16:30.000 I used to shop at a store called The Banana Republic.
00:16:32.000 It was like they were softening me, getting me ready.
00:16:34.000 I never understood why they named that store that.
00:16:36.000 It's like, it sounds like, I think I got my first suit from Banana Republic.
00:16:38.000 They were making it cool.
00:16:39.000 It's like, hey, it's okay.
00:16:40.000 It's owned by the same company that owns like Gap.
00:16:42.000 Yes.
00:16:43.000 That's their name.
00:16:43.000 Well, then when someone says something like, you ever hear of Banana Republic?
00:16:47.000 They'll be like, yeah, for sure.
00:16:48.000 And in their mind, they're thinking of like a shopping mall.
00:16:49.000 Chiquita Banana.
00:16:51.000 And they're like, I remember that store.
00:16:52.000 They've been conditioning us for years.
00:16:53.000 I'm wearing Banana Republic right now.
00:16:55.000 Isn't that crazy that we named one of our corporate capitalist... Well, we didn't, the company didn't.
00:17:00.000 Yeah, this fascist thing, they named it the Banana Republic, like, after the countries that we were ripping off.
00:17:06.000 So, let's jump to this story.
00:17:08.000 Around the same time that we were learning that several anti-FUD, far-left extremists were being indebted on RICO charges, we also got this news.
00:17:17.000 Proud Boy's leader, Enrique Tarrio, ex-propositor, sentenced to 22 years for January 6th riot roll.
00:17:25.000 And that roll was... He was texting people, cheering them on.
00:17:30.000 That's it.
00:17:31.000 This is freaky, man.
00:17:32.000 Look, if you want to argue someone incited someone else to violence, like, what do you get for that?
00:17:35.000 A couple years?
00:17:36.000 If that, depending on the seriousness or nature of the crime.
00:17:39.000 Charles Manson, for instance, got life for inciting those guys to go F it up.
00:17:44.000 I mean, telling people to go...
00:17:46.000 Murdered somebody.
00:17:47.000 He just said, go F it up.
00:17:48.000 And they took that to mean, okay.
00:17:50.000 So they went and then they ended up killing these people.
00:17:51.000 And they're like, nope, Manson incited it.
00:17:53.000 Manson's going away.
00:17:54.000 I don't trust any of these charges.
00:17:56.000 Enrique Tarrio was not there.
00:17:58.000 This is insane.
00:17:59.000 Here's the story.
00:17:59.000 They say he's been sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role on January 6th.
00:18:04.000 He was one of six Proud Boy leaders to be charged for conspiring to stop the certification of the 2020 election.
00:18:09.000 Tarjo's originally scheduled hearing was postponed, blah blah blah, they wanted 33 years, he got 22.
00:18:16.000 They highlight a few things, and also they gave a whole bunch of other dudes 15 to 20 years.
00:18:22.000 Biggs got, uh, 17.
00:18:24.000 Tarrio was convicted for obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging their duties, obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, and destruction of government property of the value over a thousand.
00:18:35.000 Tarrio wasn't at the actual Capitol riot because he'd been arrested days earlier and he'd been told to leave the city, so he did.
00:18:40.000 Apparently he went to D.C.
00:18:42.000 instead.
00:18:43.000 Prosecutors say from a hotel outside of DC, Tarrio directed his Proud Boys to attack the Capitol without him.
00:18:48.000 Tarrio's attorneys have said he wasn't in contact with any members of the organization during the riot, and pointed to Nordian and Biggs as being the orchestrators of the riot.
00:18:54.000 Further, they said, And that's the issue.
00:18:56.000 in a plan for the Proud Boys to protest on January 6th is not the same as directing others
00:18:59.000 on the ground to storm the Capitol by any means necessary.
00:19:02.000 And that's the issue.
00:19:04.000 Apparently that's it.
00:19:06.000 He wasn't there.
00:19:07.000 There was no actual plan among any of the Proud Boys to do anything.
00:19:09.000 They were unarmed.
00:19:11.000 Many of them just did dumb things.
00:19:12.000 And if you riot, yeah, you riot especially at the Capitol during the electoral vote count, I think you get some serious charges.
00:19:20.000 But like what?
00:19:20.000 A year?
00:19:22.000 Sixteen months, maybe, for knocking down barricades or smashing windows.
00:19:26.000 I do think, it is fair to say, it is personally offensive to smash the windows of our Capitol building.
00:19:32.000 You know, man, I look to American history and all the stuff.
00:19:35.000 I reject and despise the corruption, but it is amazing to go to D.C.
00:19:39.000 and see all the art and all the history, and people smashing stuff and bashing windows and trying to break their way in.
00:19:44.000 Really, really bad.
00:19:45.000 I say criminal charges, and we'll be really harsh.
00:19:50.000 Let's be really, really harsh.
00:19:51.000 A rider who does this should get 18 months.
00:19:55.000 And they've already served that, right?
00:19:56.000 That's time served.
00:19:57.000 They've already been there.
00:19:58.000 Free to go.
00:19:59.000 So you look at these guys who, this guy burned down a police station in Minneapolis.
00:19:59.000 It's crazy.
00:20:03.000 He gets four years.
00:20:04.000 You look at some of the, what is it, the Molotov cocktail lawyers.
00:20:08.000 What do they get, a year?
00:20:10.000 I think.
00:20:10.000 22 years?
00:20:11.000 They're effectively ending these dudes' lives.
00:20:14.000 Yeah, I mean, that's something Tarrio said today when he spoke.
00:20:16.000 He said, you know, he's 39.
00:20:18.000 He said, please don't take my 40s from me.
00:20:20.000 I would love to get married and have children.
00:20:22.000 And you're going to be, he's not gonna come out.
00:20:24.000 He's like, what, 60?
00:20:25.000 It's sad.
00:20:28.000 It's sad to see someone have to be the scapegoat.
00:20:32.000 I mean, that's what the US government has done to him.
00:20:34.000 I'm just gonna, I'm gonna play the time travel game again, because I love this game.
00:20:39.000 Let's go back to 2017.
00:20:42.000 And I want you all to imagine going to one of your friends and telling them, in 2023, six Proud Boys will receive multi-decade sentences in prison for what the government describes as an act of domestic terror to overthrow the seat of government.
00:21:00.000 And they would laugh harder than anyone's ever laughed and they'd say, you're a nutjob.
00:21:05.000 The guys singing in the bar and marching around in polo shirts and doing, what are they saying, like Aladdin or something?
00:21:11.000 Proud of your boy or whatever it was?
00:21:12.000 That's their slogan.
00:21:13.000 Seriously?
00:21:14.000 You're out of your mind.
00:21:15.000 Now look where we are.
00:21:18.000 There was one guy who didn't get charged who was in the Capitol that day and that was Sergei Debedin and he was actually a Ukrainian Azovite soldier who happened to find himself in the Capitol that day and some photos were uncovered of him this week by Laura Loomer and I find it crazy that you have Ukrainian spies that are in our Capitol Infiltrating our seat of government, and they're not charged, they're allowed to come to the US, they're allowed to go protest in Orlando this week with all those guys, they're allowed to go back to Ukraine, but then we have, you know, American citizens that weren't even there, and they're getting 20-year sentences.
00:21:53.000 So this is interesting, Laura Loomer posted this.
00:21:56.000 She says, I have exclusively confirmed the FBI identified Ukrainian operatives and neo-Nazis who were at the U.S.
00:22:00.000 Capitol on January 6th and even questioned J-6ers about Ukrainian spies during interviews with the FBI.
00:22:05.000 The New York Times, actually, I'm sorry, this is Daily Dot, not the New York Times, said, why Ukraine is now being accused of secretly orchestrating the Capitol riot.
00:22:13.000 Can I just, I want to explain to you what they do.
00:22:16.000 It's one thing for Laura Loomer to be like, hey, look at this dude, who is a Ukrainian spy, who appears to have been at the Capitol.
00:22:23.000 Isn't that something crazy?
00:22:25.000 What do they say?
00:22:26.000 Ukraine is now being accused of orchestrating the Capitol riot, which is a MASSIVE leap from what Laura Loomer said.
00:22:32.000 This is how they try to debunk the narrative.
00:22:34.000 They create a conspiracy theory that no one brought up, and then claim it's obviously insane, right?
00:22:42.000 Yeah.
00:22:43.000 Here's the tweet from Laura Loomer.
00:22:45.000 She says, during the private interview with America Shaman, the FBI asked him how he knew a Ukrainian operative who took a photo with him the day of J6.
00:22:52.000 Chansley didn't know the guy.
00:22:53.000 And the FBI confirmed the Ukrainian Serguy... How do you pronounce his name?
00:22:57.000 Debenin?
00:22:58.000 Debenin?
00:22:59.000 Something like that.
00:23:00.000 There's three Y's.
00:23:01.000 Yeah, it's a lot.
00:23:02.000 Uh, was a Ukrainian spy who was affiliated with the Nazi Azov Battalion.
00:23:05.000 This means the U.S.
00:23:06.000 capital was penetrated by Ukrainian spies.
00:23:07.000 Well, I don't know about spies, but at least a spy.
00:23:11.000 And the U.S.
00:23:11.000 government and FBI have still not arrested these people or made the public aware of the foreign penetration.
00:23:15.000 It's an act of war by Ukraine against the United States, and the U.S.
00:23:18.000 government has sent $200 billion to Ukraine in the last two years.
00:23:21.000 The CIA is funding a color revolution in the United States by Ukrainian Nazis and American Nazis who are being recruited by the CIA, etc, etc.
00:23:28.000 I do think a lot of this is a bit of a stretch.
00:23:30.000 I think there's a fair question of, this does look like the same guy.
00:23:34.000 Are we absolutely sure it is him?
00:23:37.000 Well, they said that the FBI and the CIA asked him about this guy being a Ukrainian.
00:23:41.000 Right.
00:23:42.000 So, I mean, make of the, you know, extrapolation what you will, but the fact that this guy was in our capital when all these other people are being charged with insurrection, what do you call that?
00:23:52.000 I mean, that is, at its core, an act of war.
00:23:54.000 If there was Chinese spies doing that, we know what we would call that.
00:23:58.000 But because it's Ukraine and Ukraine is good, we have to just sit here and accept it?
00:24:03.000 Yeah, he just wandered in.
00:24:04.000 He was a tourist.
00:24:05.000 He couldn't have been there for any other reason.
00:24:06.000 Nothing could be malicious.
00:24:08.000 I mean, this is the question about all of January 6th, which is like, we know the FBI had informants from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers or different groups.
00:24:17.000 We know that they had people on the ground that day.
00:24:19.000 We know that the mayor of D.C.
00:24:20.000 and Nancy Pelosi were offered to have additional security and support of the Capitol, and that was turned down.
00:24:25.000 So, if the government intelligence communities knew this could potentially happen and it was such a big deal, why didn't they stop it?
00:24:32.000 Why did they let it happen?
00:24:35.000 For me, that's just evidence that it wasn't.
00:24:36.000 I mean, one of my favorite lines from the opening statements for the Proud Boys trial was one of their lawyers, can't remember who at this moment, said, you know, she was reading these texts where these guys are saying, so what time should we meet up in the morning?
00:24:48.000 Where are you going to be?
00:24:49.000 Like, they didn't have a plan and she just said, this group couldn't organize a group order at McDonald's.
00:24:54.000 Like, they did not The plan and insurrection, they did not try to overthrow the US government.
00:25:00.000 But I think ultimately, that's the narrative that, you know, our intelligence community really needed to be the case.
00:25:05.000 That's why they didn't intervene when theoretically they should have if they knew it was going to happen.
00:25:09.000 I do think things are gonna get a lot crazier in 2024.
00:25:13.000 I think it'll be more heavy-handed on the side of the left, seeing these far leftists be criminally charged with domestic terror in Rico.
00:25:21.000 Good, interesting.
00:25:23.000 They're criminals who stormed a government facility and firebombed buildings, houses, shot at cops.
00:25:27.000 Yeah, they need to be locked up.
00:25:28.000 The rioters in front of, at January 6th, who were smashing things and trying to break their way in.
00:25:33.000 Yeah, they should be criminally charged too, but that's what, 16 months for a violent riot and attacking cops?
00:25:37.000 Not 20 years?
00:25:39.000 The heavy-handedness is fairly obvious.
00:25:41.000 The fact that Enrique Tarrio, according to Defense, they said he wasn't even in contact with them that day.
00:25:46.000 They gave him 22 years.
00:25:47.000 You know what I'll tell you is really interesting about this is that apparently there was a statement released by... Tarrio gave a statement to the judge saying he regretted his actions.
00:25:55.000 Did you see this?
00:25:56.000 And that, you know, he was remorseful and he shouldn't have done it.
00:26:00.000 He said that he's not a political zealot and he didn't even know that you could change the results of an election.
00:26:05.000 And that, you know, he shouldn't have compared people to founding fathers or anything like that.
00:26:09.000 I think, and then the judge apparently said he doesn't see any reason why Enrique would be remorseful over his actions or actually believe it.
00:26:16.000 Look, man.
00:26:17.000 It's gonna get crazier.
00:26:18.000 In 2024, it will get crazier.
00:26:21.000 We're already seeing a whole bunch of videos of people having their homes raided by feds.
00:26:25.000 Now.
00:26:26.000 In 2023, two and a half years later.
00:26:29.000 How many people were there at the Capitol?
00:26:32.000 We know that people who wandered in clueless, you know, a few hours after the start of everything, were criminally charged and sentenced to a year or more.
00:26:39.000 We know that the people who were storming the front and actually engaged in violence have been criminally charged, but there are hundreds more, maybe even a thousand more, who have not yet been charged, who were there, and we're starting to see these videos pop up.
00:26:53.000 It seems that they waited until the start of the election cycle.
00:26:56.000 Joe Biden just announced, I guess what he's doing, a $25 million ad buy for the next campaign around the exact same time.
00:27:02.000 The fads are starting to raid more people for January 6th.
00:27:05.000 And don't you forget it.
00:27:06.000 There were a lot of media personalities Social media figures who were cheering on what was going on outside of what Enrique Tarrio did.
00:27:15.000 If they're claiming, I'll tell you this you guys, if they're claiming Enrique Tarrio was organizing and inciting and encouraging it so that he gets 22 years, think about what's going to happen to the people who are on these alternative social media platforms with thousands of viewers and they were saying more, more, more.
00:27:32.000 Do you think that the fads are going to ignore that?
00:27:34.000 No, I think next they're gonna come for media personalities.
00:27:37.000 We know that James O'Keefe is being investigated in New York, not necessarily related to January 6th, but I think a large component of what they're doing is going to be the people on social media encouraging it, calling for more, and cheering people on.
00:27:49.000 They're gonna say we're part of a criminal conspiracy and they were inciting and they knew what they were doing, etc.
00:27:54.000 Yeah.
00:27:55.000 I mean, this case is precedent setting.
00:27:58.000 I mean, so Judge Kelly, who was overseeing this trial, said that he said this in all of the sentencings, but today he was specifically saying our country needs a peaceful transfer of power and you broke our tradition of the peaceful transfer of power.
00:28:13.000 And so he's basically saying These are the people that ruined democracy, which seems bizarre to me because it seems obvious that they did not actually have a plan to do anything.
00:28:22.000 Yes, they were going to a rally.
00:28:23.000 Yes, they were in D.C.
00:28:24.000 Yes, things got out of hand.
00:28:25.000 They might need to face some charges.
00:28:26.000 But the idea that it was a conspiracy seems weak anyways.
00:28:29.000 And in fact, we have had peaceful transfers of power since, right?
00:28:33.000 We had midterms elections.
00:28:35.000 Nobody rioted at the Capitol when Congress was sworn in for the newest term.
00:28:38.000 Like, It seems actually fine.
00:28:40.000 You want it to be that there is more tension.
00:28:42.000 That's my editorial take on it.
00:28:45.000 That there is a desire for there to be contention between different political factions and the only solution is we have to lock some of you up.
00:28:53.000 Right.
00:28:53.000 I mean, like I've been saying, if your politicians can only campaign on, vote for me and I will go after your enemies, then that just continues the escalation.
00:29:02.000 By the way, it's what I think Biden can only campaign on because we're about to have student loan debt repayments.
00:29:06.000 He couldn't get those wiped away.
00:29:08.000 We're about to have, I mean, inflation is not great.
00:29:10.000 We have tons of millennials who are saying, I would love to buy a home and I cannot.
00:29:14.000 Biden is not.
00:29:17.000 A healthy person.
00:29:19.000 Polls consistently show people think he is too old to run again.
00:29:22.000 He is the oldest sitting president in our nation's history.
00:29:25.000 I think he is actually very weak going into this campaign and that's why magically this timing all lines up where Trump's indictment, the Proud Boy results, I mean all of this is happening at once.
00:29:34.000 I got my bribe from the Biden administration over the weekend.
00:29:38.000 I got a letter that says they forgave $7,000 of student loan debt.
00:29:42.000 I didn't ask, I didn't sign up for it, I didn't want it, and they did it anyway.
00:29:46.000 Because it had been 21 years, the debt's older than 20 years, so they just wiped it off.
00:29:50.000 It's just such a bribe.
00:29:51.000 I mean, it's just disgusting.
00:29:52.000 I thought there was programs like that that have existed for a while, for like a decade at least.
00:29:57.000 There's been programs to help people who are lower income or whatever the circumstances may be to help with student loans.
00:30:02.000 So that's like, I know that's been a big point of contention with people who are now finding fault with Biden's plan because they're like, there's programs to help us.
00:30:10.000 They already exist.
00:30:11.000 We're already doing handouts.
00:30:12.000 He just wants the feather in his cap.
00:30:13.000 He wants to say, I'm the president that did this.
00:30:15.000 Yeah, he wants the bribe.
00:30:17.000 Well, let's talk about this next story from CNN.
00:30:19.000 Outside of the criminal charges and prosecutions we're seeing, there is another path
00:30:24.000 that Democrats may take to try and win in 2024, and that is mandates and lockdowns.
00:30:28.000 First, from CNN, First Lady Jill Biden tests positive for COVID-19.
00:30:33.000 And I have to wonder, why report this story?
00:30:36.000 Why did the White House think it necessary to tell the world?
00:30:40.000 They could have just done nothing.
00:30:41.000 They could have said, you know, Jill's taking a vacation.
00:30:43.000 No, they wanted the world to know that she is positive for COVID-19.
00:30:47.000 Well, a lot of people immediately speculated this is it.
00:30:50.000 It's how they reintroduce COVID politically at the start of the election cycle.
00:30:54.000 Guess what, everybody?
00:30:55.000 Joe Biden announced something like $25 million ad spend.
00:30:58.000 It is beginning.
00:31:00.000 You're going to start seeing all the news stories get planted.
00:31:02.000 You're going to see political contention.
00:31:03.000 You're going to see criminal charges.
00:31:04.000 You're going to see conspiracy theories.
00:31:05.000 You are going to see it all because after this, we got another story.
00:31:10.000 Biden tests negative for COVID, will wear mask when close to others, White House says, and thus begins the normalization of everyone wearing masks again.
00:31:20.000 Now, Joe Biden will be wearing masks in all of his videos.
00:31:23.000 We've already- all the videos that he's in, all the press statements and everything he gives.
00:31:28.000 You've already got schools and hospitals bringing back masks.
00:31:31.000 Now the president is doing it.
00:31:33.000 And lastly, Dr. Fauci, concerned people won't comply if masking recommendations return.
00:31:42.000 I hope they abide.
00:31:43.000 I love this story because Fauci was saying, the CDC doesn't mandate masks.
00:31:48.000 And what he said was, they recommend them.
00:31:50.000 It's actually the states or the private sector that mandate the masks.
00:31:55.000 So when we talk about mandates coming back, y'all need to understand it is going to be the chain store or restaurant that says, based on the recommendation by the CDC, you now must wear a mask when you come into our store.
00:32:10.000 That is how they will bring back mandates.
00:32:12.000 And they will say, it wasn't us who did it.
00:32:15.000 We didn't lock you down.
00:32:16.000 The stores are choosing to do it.
00:32:18.000 Yep.
00:32:19.000 A keyword private sector, right?
00:32:21.000 The airlines are going to implement this when the government says, ooh, remember the last time we bailed you out?
00:32:25.000 Not going to happen again unless you make some changes to your policies.
00:32:29.000 So the private sector has their arms being bent by the Biden administration.
00:32:34.000 So that's their tool to, you know, enforce and get these things through to the general public.
00:32:40.000 Tucker Carlson said he doesn't think that they're gonna do the mandates again.
00:32:44.000 But, uh, more and more evidence starting to pile up that they're gearing up for lockdowns now.
00:32:49.000 The other news, of course, ladies and gentlemen, this may come as a shock to many of you, Whoopi Goldberg was absent from The View.
00:32:55.000 That's right.
00:32:56.000 And, uh, because she tested positive for COVID.
00:32:57.000 There was a second one, too.
00:32:59.000 One of the other ones tested positive, apparently.
00:33:01.000 What if all The View ladies have to quarantine because they have COVID?
00:33:04.000 What do they do then?
00:33:06.000 Let me, uh, let me play the video for you guys.
00:33:08.000 This is, uh, we have this from ALX on Twitter.
00:33:12.000 Listen to the reaction by the audience of The View when they get the news that Whoopi has COVID and Joy Behar claims it's back.
00:33:19.000 As you can see, Whoopi is not here.
00:33:22.000 She has COVID.
00:33:23.000 Yes, it's back.
00:33:26.000 It's back.
00:33:26.000 It's back.
00:33:27.000 But she's on the mend.
00:33:28.000 She's on the tail end and she'll probably be back this week, but I'm sorry she's not here for those of you who are looking forward to seeing her.
00:33:34.000 It's back.
00:33:35.000 They never left.
00:33:36.000 It's endemic.
00:33:37.000 It's back.
00:33:37.000 They made a point of saying it was endemic, like it's here forever.
00:33:41.000 So, there it is.
00:33:42.000 You know, I just feel like the culture war is divided amongst people who seek out information to challenge their views, for the most part, not always, and those who desperately don't want their views challenged at all, and just want to be told what to do.
00:33:57.000 The people who watch The View, They just want to be told what to do.
00:34:00.000 What to think, what to feel.
00:34:02.000 Just tell me when to jump.
00:34:02.000 I don't know.
00:34:03.000 I want to fit in.
00:34:03.000 It'll be easy.
00:34:04.000 And then everyone else is like, let me figure it out for myself.
00:34:08.000 You brought up the point from Tucker Carlson that he does not believe that mandates are going to come back.
00:34:13.000 He did say that he'd be willing to bet his house that we're going to enter a hot war with Russia and that Biden's going to use that as footing for the election to manipulate control.
00:34:21.000 However, you know, they see best fit, but I'd rather have this.
00:34:24.000 I don't, I don't want to have anything, but I'd rather have this than hot war with Russia.
00:34:28.000 I think both might be true.
00:34:30.000 Yeah, could be.
00:34:31.000 I mean, if we get involved in hot war with Russia, hold on, let's slow down.
00:34:35.000 Even Tucker did say, we are at war with Russia, that we understand, but like a formal, actual
00:34:41.000 confrontation, you know, full scale or whatever, if that is to happen, that's what they'll
00:34:46.000 do to try and win, yes.
00:34:48.000 And if that does happen where Biden comes out, there's going to have to be some kind
00:34:51.000 of attack on America.
00:34:53.000 It's going to have to be whatever may be a legitimate, maybe a false flag.
00:34:56.000 I'm just saying, before the U.S.
00:34:58.000 can actually formally engage in any way, I'm not saying formally declare, but engage, there's got to be some public support that results in a lockdown.
00:35:06.000 They will have to control things with an iron fist in this country if they're going to engage in direct conflict with Russia.
00:35:12.000 But I don't know if they can.
00:35:13.000 I mean, if that was an audience of just average Americans, when the ginger lady, when she said, you know, it's back, you would have heard average Americans laugh.
00:35:22.000 That's what you would have heard.
00:35:24.000 That's not your average American right there.
00:35:26.000 So how do you impose that if most of America is not on board?
00:35:30.000 I guess it's a question of, will enough people just ignore it, or not?
00:35:35.000 Is Fauci, are his fears correct?
00:35:38.000 That people will not comply?
00:35:39.000 Look, I gotta tell you, out in West Virginia, that's just not gonna work.
00:35:44.000 You're not gonna get it.
00:35:45.000 It's not gonna happen.
00:35:46.000 They can try.
00:35:47.000 In Maryland, yeah, in Maryland it'll definitely happen.
00:35:50.000 Because the people in Maryland, it really is interesting, this divide.
00:35:54.000 There are a lot of people in Western Maryland who are, you know, it's MAGA country, but then you go to the businesses and they are on their knees begging, begging the government to tell them what to do.
00:36:05.000 And it's just like, weird.
00:36:07.000 You cross that river and then they're just like, we don't care what you do.
00:36:10.000 It's just very different cultures that live next door to each other.
00:36:13.000 Perhaps it's because, you know, Baltimore, more resources, more money, more likely to be enforced.
00:36:18.000 People are terrified.
00:36:19.000 West Virginia, you're not really going to see heavy enforcement.
00:36:22.000 So people just do whatever they want and say, I don't care.
00:36:25.000 Do something.
00:36:26.000 When we when during the lockdowns and the mandates.
00:36:30.000 I went to Maryland's Panhandle.
00:36:33.000 There was a bar in the middle of nowhere, and they had a sign on the door being like, you know, masks are required as per state, like regulation or whatever.
00:36:39.000 And then you walk in, no one's wearing a mask.
00:36:41.000 And the bartender's just like, washing a mug, and he's like, looking left and right, like, you know, shrugging, like, whatever, dude.
00:36:45.000 Nobody cares.
00:36:47.000 But the closer you get to DC, the more the businesses are terrified, screaming at you and kicking you out.
00:36:55.000 I think it happens.
00:36:56.000 I liked the conservative boomers during the mask mandate period, because I knew so many who would wear, like, a mask off their ear and be like, they should have had to wear it, but they don't want to.
00:37:04.000 Like, there was this funny resistance around, there were certain people who complied, they wanted you to wear four masks, and then there were other people who were like, This is dumb and I don't want to be doing it.
00:37:13.000 And how effective can these masks really be?
00:37:15.000 I think some of the issue will come down to the state governors.
00:37:19.000 I think we, I mean, one of the reasons we all know Ron DeSantis's name is because he was like, yeah, we're not doing this.
00:37:24.000 And he deserves a lot of credit for that.
00:37:26.000 I think this time around, if there were to be some sort of pressure for mandates, there would be a lot of governors who now see that if they say no, they are putting themselves in favor of the majority of their constituents.
00:37:38.000 It's all about the vision, you know, in the lead up to, uh, you know, 2020, East Tennessee did not look like Portland, you know, there was not the same protest there and it's all about the vision and this time they're probably going to have some sort of a lockdown or mandate or whatever, but it's going to be by area to create the vision and just cause unrest and chaos right before the election again.
00:38:01.000 I'd love to see the inter-US migration change too, like if there is a second lockdown.
00:38:06.000 That was one of the biggest trends.
00:38:07.000 I mean, U-Haul was constantly reporting this, that the places people were leaving were places that were more interested in enforcing mandates.
00:38:15.000 I mean, this could be a way that especially rural states see a population boom that they are not expected to get.
00:38:20.000 But it's very hard with the economy the way it is and these interest rates.
00:38:24.000 How are you supposed to leave right now?
00:38:26.000 I'm not saying it's easy.
00:38:27.000 I'm just saying there are people who will be like, I'm not doing this again.
00:38:30.000 This is worth the investment to do.
00:38:31.000 Well, I think it was very easy to say that the first time around with the housing market just being an absolute boom.
00:38:37.000 Now, it's much harder.
00:38:40.000 I shouldn't say it's very hard.
00:38:41.000 Everyone's got different circumstance, but it's a lot harder than to just be like, all right, here we go to West Virginia.
00:38:45.000 A lot of people are gonna be stuck.
00:38:47.000 We saw a lot of people leave places like California and New York and Illinois and go to Texas and Florida.
00:38:55.000 I'm wondering how that affects their state.
00:38:59.000 These states are not swing states by any stretch of the imagination.
00:39:04.000 Texas was turning purple, now it's red.
00:39:07.000 Florida, the same thing.
00:39:09.000 New York, Illinois, and California were never going to be red.
00:39:12.000 So these moves they're making are actually helping Donald Trump.
00:39:14.000 And Trump only lost 20-20 by 42,000 votes between three states.
00:39:18.000 If more people start moving to, I don't know, Wisconsin, Georgia, or what's it, what's the other, what's the third state, Arizona?
00:39:24.000 Arizona.
00:39:25.000 I don't see how Trump loses.
00:39:27.000 I mean, look, Californians are moving to Arizona.
00:39:30.000 And these are more moderate to left-leaning people who are fleeing their own policies, and they're gonna bring it to Arizona, and they're gonna vote to make things worse.
00:39:38.000 Wisconsin, I'm wondering, are people from Chicago leaving and then going to Wisconsin and voting for the same thing?
00:39:43.000 There was that famous tweet where the guy was like, I'm leaving, finally, I'm leaving California, it's bad, I'm going to Florida.
00:39:48.000 And then people were like, you're going to Florida, but Ron DeSantis is bad, and they're like, oh, don't worry, I'll keep voting the same way.
00:39:52.000 It's like, oh, okay, and then you're gonna turn Florida into California.
00:39:55.000 Yeah.
00:39:55.000 Thanks so much for your support.
00:39:57.000 When it comes to these talk of government mandates, I feel like this is, once a body develops an immune response to a virus, it just is totally ready for that virus the next time it comes around.
00:40:08.000 And this mind virus of, everybody get ready to be afraid, get ready to hide in your house from this invisible thing.
00:40:14.000 Like, people are immune.
00:40:16.000 It doesn't mean that we're impervious to it, but people are done with it.
00:40:18.000 They're done with the bullshit.
00:40:19.000 They're done with being told what to do.
00:40:21.000 They're done with fucking sitting in their house, being told they can't go outside.
00:40:24.000 They've had it.
00:40:26.000 This society is resilient.
00:40:28.000 I'm not convinced.
00:40:29.000 I witnessed it when I would go to D.C.
00:40:33.000 or Frederick in Maryland, and you would see these businesses drop to their knees in two seconds.
00:40:40.000 Perhaps the people who moved feel the way you're describing it, Ian, but now those people are in Florida, and they're in Texas, and they're in West Virginia.
00:40:48.000 The people who stayed are going to do the exact same thing.
00:40:52.000 Govern me harder, daddy!
00:40:53.000 I was very positively influenced by being at the airport and seeing how few people actually had masks a couple weeks ago.
00:41:01.000 Yes, but there's no mandates at the airport.
00:41:02.000 There's like six people.
00:41:03.000 There's no mandates.
00:41:04.000 I was at the Library of Congress today and they have the big rotunda where, you know, only researchers are allowed.
00:41:09.000 No one's really allowed in there with all the books and documents and stuff.
00:41:13.000 There was only three people in that massive area.
00:41:16.000 These are supposed to be like smart, intelligent Ivy League people that get to go into that room.
00:41:20.000 Two out of the three had masks on.
00:41:22.000 So bizarre.
00:41:23.000 It's insane.
00:41:24.000 Every one of those people in the view, they're saying, oh no, the mandate's coming back, COVID's coming back.
00:41:29.000 But I guarantee you, they went home and started to pull up recipes for, you know, homemade, you know, loaves of bread again, as they're waving their Ukraine flags.
00:41:37.000 It's like, these people are happy.
00:41:39.000 They want to see it happen because they love the control.
00:41:42.000 People that are really intelligent but very low wisdom.
00:41:46.000 They're very good at being told what to do and immediately doing what they're told and mimicking and remembering and then, you know, playing back.
00:41:55.000 I'm very good at this.
00:41:56.000 See, now reward me.
00:41:57.000 I'm very good at doing what I'm told.
00:41:58.000 That's the danger of intelligence.
00:42:00.000 Dude, people love ratting on their neighbors.
00:42:02.000 People in these cities are going to be vile, they're going to join the mob, and if the mob says mask, they're going to say mask, and then they're going to celebrate anybody who's dying who doesn't.
00:42:13.000 It's tough to make this conversation from the top, I mean just the top down, like talk about other people.
00:42:17.000 Because I think people, my guess is that if anyone feels as remotely as fed up with it as I do, that there's no way in hell this is going to get off the ground again.
00:42:26.000 I barely had to touch the masks the last three years.
00:42:29.000 People didn't like it in the first place.
00:42:31.000 But they thought they were doing good in the first place, and now they know they weren't.
00:42:34.000 And there was fear.
00:42:34.000 I mean, people were told, if you come anywhere near your grandmother, she'll immediately die.
00:42:38.000 There was an insane amount of information.
00:42:41.000 It's not even that.
00:42:42.000 It's that the government came and issued fines and arrested people.
00:42:45.000 A woman who was selling her Products from her store, on the internet, on Facebook had the cops show up and threaten her with charges unless she stopped doing Facebook Live.
00:42:56.000 The reason these people cave and gave up is not because all of them are celebrating, it's because these cops are going to come and they're going to beat the crap out of you.
00:43:05.000 There's a salon, how many salon owners, like two or three got arrested?
00:43:08.000 A guy giving haircuts in Michigan got arrested?
00:43:10.000 A woman in, what was it?
00:43:13.000 She fled Minnesota to Iowa, and then the sheriff tracked her down and arrested her because she opened her coffee shop during lockdowns.
00:43:22.000 There will be some people, but that terrifies people.
00:43:25.000 So you go to these big cities where it takes one guy to destroy your life by destroying your business, and these people will drop to their knees in two seconds and say, we will do whatever you say, government.
00:43:38.000 Except the government really fucked up last time.
00:43:40.000 The cops going in there.
00:43:42.000 It pisses me off so much, dude.
00:43:43.000 I get it, man.
00:43:44.000 The cops would go in there and be like, you can't open your business.
00:43:48.000 People would be like, yeah, I can.
00:43:49.000 And they'd be like, no, in fact, we're doing what's good for you.
00:43:52.000 We're shutting your business down.
00:43:53.000 The person's like, no, I'm out of money.
00:43:54.000 The cop's like, good, we've done our job.
00:43:58.000 You can't do that to someone twice.
00:43:59.000 You cannot.
00:44:01.000 You've already shocked everybody awake.
00:44:02.000 Yeah, but the cops either quit or fired the ones that were on the side of freedom, I'll say, right?
00:44:10.000 I mean, we had mandates not just to wear masks, but also to get the vaccine.
00:44:14.000 So it's like a lot of people said no, and they lost their job over it.
00:44:17.000 Those cops are gone.
00:44:18.000 We don't have them.
00:44:19.000 The cops that are still employed are ones that are just doing it for a paycheck or said, yes, government, I'll do whatever you want.
00:44:26.000 Look at these videos of how they arrest these J6ers.
00:44:29.000 It's like there's some, just like a dude, there's like a video of a guy going to a grocery store or something, and they run up with like rifles pointed at him.
00:44:36.000 Like, dude, these are drone Gestapo morons working for these agencies.
00:44:42.000 They don't care, they don't know, it feels good to be in charge of you.
00:44:47.000 It feels good to them.
00:44:48.000 I mean, these are people who are not satisfied by their own accomplishments.
00:44:53.000 They're satisfied by feeling like they can do whatever they want to you.
00:44:58.000 So what ends up happening is you get a small business, and they might say something to you like, I really hate it, but I have no choice.
00:45:03.000 They're gonna fine me.
00:45:04.000 That's what everyone kept saying.
00:45:06.000 And I see this now.
00:45:08.000 We talk about it quite a bit.
00:45:09.000 James O'Keefe had a really great tweet, and he posted it on Instagram, and he said, you are responsible.
00:45:14.000 For whatever life your children inherit, that all of these people who are saying, I can't stand up for what I believe in because I have kids and they're putting my kids at risk, then you are directly responsible for what the lives your children inherit.
00:45:27.000 When they are living under the boot of communists who are laughing at them, the party members who get special favors or food, it's going to be because You, you allow this by saying, you know, I'll just, I'll just, I'll just comply.
00:45:41.000 I'll just, I'll just give in.
00:45:42.000 I'm not saying I have all the answers.
00:45:44.000 I think typically...
00:45:46.000 You know, I think come 2024, the reason we're seeing a lot of this extreme action is because if Donald Trump's right, as of right now, if the election were held today, Trump wins.
00:45:56.000 That's what the polls are saying right now.
00:45:58.000 That's what the analytics are saying.
00:45:59.000 That's what the forecast models are saying.
00:46:00.000 It doesn't mean he does win.
00:46:02.000 but that's why you're seeing the machine of the democrats panic and need something
00:46:07.000 to force people into fear
00:46:11.000 i guess more extreme action when i look at these videos of the jay sixers being
00:46:14.000 having the feds come up and point guns at them, i'm like they're hoping for some kind of
00:46:17.000 reaction from from these people don't give it to them
00:46:21.000 all you gotta do is just make money
00:46:24.000 succeed push back and resist where you can
00:46:27.000 and then make sure you're spreading the word as much as possible
00:46:30.000 There are a lot of people who are like, there's this weird game where they're saying, Tim's saying not to do anything.
00:46:35.000 No, I'm quite literally saying, resist where possible, succeed, make money, build influence, build culture, and then come 2024, get everyone you can to vote in overwhelming numbers.
00:46:47.000 Trump only needs 42,000 votes, and Biden's gonna lose a lot more than that.
00:46:51.000 That's not a guarantee that Trump fixes anything.
00:46:53.000 It's not a guarantee that Trump actually comes and saves the day at all, but it is a start.
00:46:57.000 I think that's what they fear.
00:46:59.000 That's why they want a reaction, and you can't give it to them.
00:47:04.000 Yeah, we gotta govern ourselves outside of politics, that's for sure.
00:47:08.000 Ian, I got a question.
00:47:09.000 If you've been traveling a lot all over the country recently with, you know, let's say for this year so far in 2023, what happens if they start bringing, you know, they bring back mask mandates for trains and planes?
00:47:19.000 What, I'm curious to how you'd handle it because it would derail your life or you'd have to comply.
00:47:24.000 Well, I try not to answer questions with premises I don't agree with, and I feel like accepting the premise that there's going to be a shutdown just makes it more likely.
00:47:34.000 Well, a shutdown is different from mask mandates.
00:47:36.000 I'd just stop flying.
00:47:37.000 I'm about ready to stop traveling anyway, but yeah, I'll just completely stop.
00:47:42.000 Or fly private only.
00:47:43.000 You know, a lockdown, a COVID lockdown, is very different from mask mandates.
00:47:46.000 The mask mandates seem very likely.
00:47:48.000 There are still businesses all over Maryland with signs saying you must wear masks.
00:47:52.000 And those colleges in Atlanta were like, please put a mask on.
00:47:55.000 I mean, some institutions are already rolling it out in some capacity.
00:47:58.000 So it doesn't seem impossible that it'll spread.
00:48:00.000 I just think it'll be very regional.
00:48:02.000 I think that there will be, you know, certain sectors of the country that say yes and certain that say no.
00:48:07.000 And, you know, I hope that everyone gets to live in a community that reflects their values.
00:48:11.000 And I think Tim's totally right.
00:48:14.000 It's sort of like testing the boundaries.
00:48:16.000 There's going to be a push to see what you will be okay with.
00:48:19.000 And what your reaction would be, and you have to just stay in control as much as possible.
00:48:23.000 It'll be interesting, because I think if Biden already saying he's wearing masks, it does please a lot of partisan liberal types, but it will push away moderates and independents.
00:48:34.000 So in that regard, I don't know how this plan is ultimately going to help them unless they're using it to ramp up some kind of new, expansive voting policy for 2024.
00:48:44.000 It is kind of late, though.
00:48:46.000 We're a few months away from 2024, and the election cycle's already begun, so any rule changes will have to come really quick.
00:48:53.000 They can do it quick.
00:48:54.000 New Zealand, Australia, whatever, they had those COVID camps, blink of an eye.
00:48:59.000 You know, things could change very quickly.
00:49:01.000 I want to jump to this next story from Newsweek.
00:49:04.000 Russians start a hot war with Russia.
00:49:07.000 Tucker does mention this.
00:49:07.000 I think it's fair.
00:49:08.000 We're at war with Russia.
00:49:10.000 And anybody saying otherwise is lying.
00:49:12.000 U.S.
00:49:12.000 personnel are on the ground.
00:49:14.000 Volunteers.
00:49:15.000 They're using U.S.
00:49:16.000 equipment.
00:49:17.000 They're trained by NATO.
00:49:18.000 They're trained by the U.S.
00:49:19.000 They're provided intelligence by the U.S.
00:49:21.000 Missiles by the U.S.
00:49:22.000 The U.K.
00:49:23.000 is sending depleted uranium tank busters.
00:49:26.000 Yeah.
00:49:26.000 It is NATO versus Russia.
00:49:27.000 It's a proxy war.
00:49:29.000 Well, now we have this story.
00:49:31.000 This could be Newsweek and Western media trying to ramp up fear that there is a reason to go to war with Russia.
00:49:40.000 I'll give you the long story short of it.
00:49:42.000 You have this guy.
00:49:44.000 It's Korchenko, right?
00:49:46.000 Yes.
00:49:47.000 Editor of the newspaper National Defense.
00:49:49.000 He basically said, Russia is being warned and threatened that if we misbehave, or if, you know, Ben Hodge's opinion, we exceed what he considers to be the necessary permissible lines, for the use of all types of Russian weapons, he threatens us with more than just strikes on the Crimean bridge.
00:50:04.000 He responds by basically saying, if you engage in war with us, we will not go to war with the US in Europe.
00:50:11.000 We will go to war with the U.S.
00:50:13.000 on U.S.
00:50:14.000 This is in response to your attacks on Russian military or civilian facilities.
00:50:14.000 territory.
00:50:18.000 The first strike will be a preventative limited strike against targets on the territory of the United States of America.
00:50:25.000 I think it's BS.
00:50:27.000 They point out in Newsweek and a couple other outlets the most effective way to use nuclear weapons by the Russians is to claim they have them and that's it.
00:50:35.000 But it makes no sense to target US civilian territorial targets because all that would do is make their position in Eastern Europe worse.
00:50:44.000 I agree.
00:50:45.000 Russia has no reason to do this.
00:50:46.000 This is some random guy that goes on Russian state TV, maybe he's looking for a better paying job and he's trying to come out and say it, but the fact of the matter is Russia controls 87,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory.
00:50:59.000 The, you know, the ratio of Russian troops to Ukrainian troops loss is insane.
00:51:03.000 Ukraine's lost 400,000 plus men, Russia maybe 150,000.
00:51:06.000 They have no reason to do something as extreme as this and that really wouldn't be in Putin's, you know, line of governance either.
00:51:14.000 Let's make all of the corporate media outlets happy and give them an article to write about.
00:51:19.000 What's the likelihood you think that the U.S.
00:51:21.000 would engage in a false flag to justify expanding the war in Ukraine?
00:51:27.000 I mean, that was 2014 when the Maidan massacre took place.
00:51:27.000 I think they already did.
00:51:31.000 The Western press all said it was a bunch of, you know, Ukrainian government, Yanukovych-aligned individuals that rained down with sniper fire on the protesters in Maidan Square.
00:51:43.000 Twelve years later, we learned that it was actually Georgian Legion snipers that were out there.
00:51:47.000 Nine years.
00:51:48.000 Nine years.
00:51:48.000 Nine years later. 2014.
00:51:51.000 Nine years later, it was Georgian snipers that were out there at the behest of the Ukrainian, now new Ukrainian government, you know?
00:51:58.000 We know that for sure, I've not heard that.
00:52:00.000 Yeah.
00:52:01.000 Canadian researcher, look him up, he did the study.
00:52:03.000 It was Georgian snipers that did it.
00:52:05.000 Also, in Oliver Stone's documentary, he touched on that subject.
00:52:10.000 The snipers were firing from the buildings around Maidan Square that were controlled by the Ace of Aligned individuals within the Grab for Power.
00:52:22.000 So, here's all I can say as to that claim.
00:52:26.000 Western media outlets say that it's propaganda issued by Russia, and Russian outlets say it's confirmed.
00:52:32.000 So, this is war.
00:52:34.000 It's war.
00:52:35.000 People will die.
00:52:36.000 Yeah, but just like the idea that, I will say, it's not above Any warring nation to engage in a false flag, especially as it pertains to overthrowing a government.
00:52:47.000 The U.S.
00:52:48.000 is going to claim, and Western powers are going to claim, this is what the Russian-aligned government was doing, and Russia's going to claim it was Western forces trying to overthrow the government and stall their puppet.
00:52:58.000 And then also, I mean, look at this.
00:52:59.000 You have the, uh, you know, I won't give my full opinion on YouTube, but you have the Nord Stream Pipeline incident and you had everyone in the West who's saying that was Russia.
00:53:08.000 It was definitely Russia.
00:53:09.000 And I think everyone knows who it really was.
00:53:11.000 You can look at the, uh, the Kremlin drone attack.
00:53:14.000 They were saying that was a false flag by Russia.
00:53:16.000 Then we turn to find out that the Ukrainian government put a postage stamp out celebrating a Ukrainian soldier flying the drone over the Kremlin and bombing it.
00:53:25.000 I mean, the list goes on and on.
00:53:26.000 I'm sure Russia, maybe they, This is war.
00:53:28.000 False flags happen, but... Absolutely, and let's clarify.
00:53:30.000 We have this from the Washington Post.
00:53:32.000 U.S.
00:53:33.000 had intelligence of detailed Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline.
00:53:36.000 The CIA learned last June via a European spy agency that a six-person team of Ukrainian special operations forces intended to sabotage the Russian-to-Germany natural gas project.
00:53:45.000 They claimed, over and over and over again, that Russia did it.
00:53:48.000 They even speculated that Russia could have dropped a bomb through the pipeline, so when it got to that point, it blew up, which makes literally no sense!
00:53:55.000 Russia, Vladimir Putin being like, I have the perfect way to defeat my enemies.
00:53:59.000 I'll blow up my own oil pipeline.
00:54:01.000 What?
00:54:02.000 Didn't make any sense.
00:54:02.000 And yet this was the all of the Western media was like, that's the only explanation Russia must have done it.
00:54:08.000 And then slowly it sort of sort of came out that, oh, actually, that's this thing that seems improbable is actually probably not true.
00:54:15.000 Yeah, it was a, you know, it was what it was, whoever did it.
00:54:18.000 I mean, that's the CIA Washington Post saying it was Ukraine who did it.
00:54:22.000 Seymour Hersh has other ideas, you know, Biden administration.
00:54:25.000 But at its core, what happened with that?
00:54:28.000 I mean, it was an escalation of war.
00:54:30.000 It prevented Germany from being able to negotiate with the Russians by turning the taps back on for the Nord Stream pipeline.
00:54:37.000 And it made a real big issue for Europe.
00:54:40.000 They had to buy Russian liquefied natural gas.
00:54:43.000 They bought 40% more liquefied natural gas from Russia in the EU over the past year.
00:54:49.000 So, I mean, it just caused prices to go up.
00:54:52.000 You have the German economy, you have the French economy, you have the Italian economy that are all in shambles right now.
00:54:57.000 Europe is in an inflationary crisis.
00:54:59.000 They're about to be in a recession.
00:55:00.000 Germany's already in a recession.
00:55:02.000 I mean, it's quite clear what's happening.
00:55:04.000 What do you think is the ideal circumstance right now related to the war in Ukraine?
00:55:12.000 Like a peace deal.
00:55:13.000 Resolution, yeah.
00:55:15.000 Well, I think if you listen to Putin, which no one in the Western press and Western governments, they try not to, you know, I think he's quite clear about the fact that this 87,000 square kilometers of territory they've already taken is formally now part of the Russian Federation and it should be respected as such.
00:55:15.000 But what is it?
00:55:34.000 The former French president has come out last week and said that, you know, there should be formal referendums in these regions to actually decide whether or not they want to join Russia.
00:55:42.000 We've already seen these elections, though, and they weren't internationally regulated, but these people said they wanted to join the Russian Federation.
00:55:49.000 And I think Russia is not going to stop and try for a peace deal again until they get Nikolaev and Odessa, which will landlock Ukraine, and also get the Kharkov region in the northeast.
00:55:58.000 I think once they get that, maybe they'll try to push for peace proposals again.
00:56:02.000 But until then, I mean, It's going to be the same old, same old.
00:56:07.000 People, unfortunately, are going to die because no one in the West is serious about pushing for peace.
00:56:12.000 Can I ask, what are the major differences between Soviet Union and modern day Russia?
00:56:19.000 Well, the main differences, I think, I don't know, I think the Soviet Union was a pretty base, but I think that the Russian economy today, if you look at the economy, if you talk about that, what is the basis of the Russian economy?
00:56:33.000 Well, you know, Soviet Union at its start, the country was at its knees, you had basically a feudal society, and the Soviet Union took it from its knees to a war superpower, won the Second World War at the cost of 27 million people, but it also centralized the important sectors of government.
00:56:50.000 And we're seeing that in Russia today.
00:56:51.000 Instead of in the United States where we have all these rapacious private companies that are hoarding our resources, hoarding our oil, hoarding our gas, hoarding our coal, whatever, in Russia they have it under a public structure.
00:57:05.000 It's under the government.
00:57:07.000 And they can actually utilize these systems to benefit the people and negotiate with other countries like BRICS partners in terms that are going to be beneficial to the Russian economy and the central bank.
00:57:17.000 And that's what's happening with BRICS.
00:57:21.000 Wow!
00:57:23.000 This matters a lot.
00:57:24.000 Take a look at this from the BBC.
00:57:27.000 Russian military control.
00:57:30.000 Look at this!
00:57:31.000 They have going all the way down to Kursan, nearly to Odessa.
00:57:35.000 All of Crimea and everything is under Russian military control.
00:57:38.000 We keep getting told, or we've been told over and over again that the Ukrainians are pushing back, but it really feels like what they're doing is, for every ten conflicts that arise, let's say ten battles, Ukraine wins one, that gets reported in the press.
00:57:52.000 And so everything we hear is like, their counter-offensive is working, they're gaining ground.
00:57:56.000 This is crazy.
00:57:57.000 To anybody who's been keeping track of this, I mean, look, Russia's basically won.
00:58:01.000 They've taken the Donbass, they've taken the land bridge to Crimea, they've got it.
00:58:04.000 And it's not over yet?
00:58:06.000 And not just that, but the cities that Ukraine is taking, if you look at the pre-war populations for these cities, it's like 50 homes, 400 people, maybe a few farms, it's nothing.
00:58:18.000 In this big counter-offensive that we put all this money to, Ukraine hasn't even reached the first line of Russian defense fortifications.
00:58:25.000 They have three lines of defense fortifications that they've been building up since last November.
00:58:29.000 Behind those three lines, they have tens of thousands of reservists.
00:58:33.000 And then back in Russia, they have even more reservist soldiers than Russian soldiers in the whole of Ukraine right now.
00:58:40.000 So, it's only going to go in one way.
00:58:42.000 It's going to go, I guess, two ways maybe.
00:58:44.000 However, Russia wants this to end.
00:58:46.000 or mutually assured destruction.
00:58:47.000 Whatever happened with the Bakhmut situation, because I know that just was in the news for
00:58:52.000 the Ukraine war for a while, and now Prygosian, which I'm also curious to your thoughts about
00:58:56.000 how that's all played out.
00:58:57.000 What's the deal with Bakhmut?
00:58:59.000 Because I feel like we've almost seen a stalemate.
00:59:01.000 There's been no progress either way.
00:59:03.000 At least someone from, as a casual observer of what's been happening in the war.
00:59:08.000 So yeah, I'm curious to your thoughts.
00:59:10.000 Wagner, under the leadership of Purgosian, so when he was still alive, you know, months ago, they fully liberated the city.
00:59:17.000 They took it 100%, so none of it remains in Ukrainian control.
00:59:20.000 There's still some firefighting on, like, the flanks, the outside regions of Bakhmut or Artimovsk.
00:59:27.000 Basically, what's going to happen over the next several months is the Russians are about to start an offensive of their own because they defeated the counteroffensive from Ukraine.
00:59:35.000 They're going to focus on the flanks of Bakhmut.
00:59:37.000 They're going to focus on maybe Kherson, and they're definitely going to focus on taking back the whole strip of land in the northeast, the Kharkiv region.
00:59:44.000 They're going to probably take all of that back.
00:59:46.000 And then we'll have some down period and then next spring is when you're going to have the large blowout of the Russian soldiers pushing in the south all the way through Kherson to Odessa.
00:59:55.000 They're going to completely landlock it and take all of that.
00:59:58.000 Okay.
00:59:59.000 It's kind of crazy to see, you know, because I've not been actively tracking the maps of control, but they kept saying that Ukraine's winning, Russia's losing, they're on the verge of defeat.
01:00:10.000 They kept saying that Russia's suffering massive casualties, and now, like, let's operate under the assumption that the reporting about massive Russian casualties was correct and Ukraine was winning.
01:00:19.000 How does Russia now have total military control of the land bridge to Crimea, and then some?
01:00:24.000 And it's not like this is, you know, under contest.
01:00:26.000 In Mariupol, Russia's already gone in, they've built new schools, new grocery stores, new hospitals, they've built free apartments for the people there.
01:00:34.000 They're happy, you know, and the numbers are lies, as I'm sure we can all assume.
01:00:39.000 They lie about everything in the mainstream press.
01:00:41.000 I mean, Ukraine's like a generation of men.
01:00:45.000 400,000 men.
01:00:46.000 Russia's got four times the population of Ukraine.
01:00:49.000 How could anyone ever expect that Ukraine was going to win?
01:00:51.000 I saw a meme that could be propaganda, who knows, and it was a 4chan green text where it was a Ukrainian dude and he was like, you know, one year ago, I'm engaged, about to get married, I'm working at my job, making an okay wage, everything's fine.
01:01:08.000 He's like, today, log on to social media and see my fiancé dancing in a slutty dress in Germany having a party at a rave, and I just got my draft papers, I'm gonna be sent to the front lines where I'll probably die, why is my life like this?
01:01:22.000 Yeah, the people there, I mean, I gotta be honest, the people I knew fled.
01:01:28.000 The people that I knew from Ukraine aren't there anymore.
01:01:30.000 And they're posting pictures on the beach and other places, and I'm just like, what is...
01:01:34.000 Russia's moving in.
01:01:36.000 They're taking.
01:01:37.000 And I'm just seeing the media lie about what's going on every step of the way.
01:01:41.000 How do we end this and just say enough?
01:01:43.000 Because at this point, I don't see an argument based on this map for Russia gives up territory at one in a military conflict.
01:01:50.000 You lost.
01:01:51.000 Perhaps a peace deal could have happened a long time ago before Boris Johnson destroyed it.
01:01:56.000 And then you could have actually preserved some of this land under Ukrainian control or prevented the death of people and ceded it in the first place.
01:02:03.000 I don't see how this ends well for the rest of Ukraine or for NATO.
01:02:06.000 I do honestly think that if US interests and NATO refuse to let go of this, it's going to escalate into a more direct conflict.
01:02:17.000 I think it depends on who gets elected.
01:02:19.000 Trump said, he sounds insane when he says, I'm going to end the war in 24 hours, right?
01:02:24.000 I believe it.
01:02:25.000 Yeah, of course we believe it because if you withhold funding for Ukraine, Their government collapses in hours!
01:02:31.000 Their government employees, their soldiers, their pensions, their firefighters, their police, the corrupt people, you know, stripping people off the streets to go on the front, they're all funded by the U.S.
01:02:41.000 taxpayer.
01:02:42.000 So they collapse within hours if we stop.
01:02:46.000 And Trump said he's going to put a peace deal forward if Ukraine doesn't like it.
01:02:49.000 That's the end.
01:02:50.000 I think that the moment they announced Trump as the projected winner, Russia immediately says ceasefire because we know what happens when Trump comes in and we want good faith efforts to put an end to this.
01:03:01.000 And I think Ukraine agrees knowing their funding is about to end and it's time to find a safe way to retreat.
01:03:08.000 Donald Trump gets on the phone.
01:03:10.000 I bet the moment Trump wins, he's on the phone saying, once I'm officially in and hands on the Bible, this is done.
01:03:19.000 You know, I bet they'll try and get him on the Logan Act or something before he's brought into office.
01:03:23.000 They'll try and stop it.
01:03:24.000 But I think the moment Trump is in office, he gets on the phone and says, there's no more war.
01:03:28.000 We're negotiating tonight.
01:03:29.000 I'm flying out.
01:03:30.000 He flies out.
01:03:30.000 It's over.
01:03:31.000 Like you said, the US cuts off funding to Ukraine.
01:03:33.000 There's no war anymore.
01:03:34.000 Yeah.
01:03:35.000 Either that or it continues to escalate, as you said.
01:03:39.000 I mean, the Russians, there are 27 million people serious protecting their civilization.
01:03:44.000 That's how many they roughly lost in World War II.
01:03:46.000 And they see this as a similar threat.
01:03:48.000 So, They've lost 100,000 men so far?
01:03:51.000 Who cares?
01:03:51.000 I mean, that's sad, that's terrible, but they're willing to go a lot further to protect their country, their civilization, and their land than 100,000 men.
01:04:00.000 And they have the population and resources to commit to that.
01:04:03.000 So we've heard, what we've heard from the press, the corporate press in the United States, is that Vladimir Putin's evil, and he's like Hitler, he wants to steal land.
01:04:13.000 That seems a bit one-dimensional.
01:04:15.000 Even if that is the case, and you genuinely believe Putin is just evil and says, now's my chance to steal land, there is a goal to the land they're taking and a strategic value to what they're doing.
01:04:24.000 We don't hear it that often in the general messaging from the press.
01:04:27.000 Much like with the war in Iraq, they hate us for our freedoms!
01:04:30.000 Which was completely meaningless to people who paid attention, but sure, worked for those who didn't.
01:04:36.000 I'm curious, from your point of view, why did Russia invade, and what is their goal, and what are they ultimately hoping to achieve now?
01:04:44.000 Put it as quickly as possible, Ukraine is not a sovereign country.
01:04:48.000 It's just not a real country anymore.
01:04:50.000 It wasn't since the U.S.
01:04:52.000 came in and toppled their government in 2014.
01:04:54.000 You have a sovereign government topple your country, do away with any form of, you know, elected representation, say this guy's leading your country now, if you don't like it, you know, they're gonna stick these Azovite or right sector thugs on you in the Donbass.
01:05:09.000 They killed 15,000 individuals in the fighting, many of whom were civilians in the Donbass from 2014 when the coup took place in 2022.
01:05:16.000 The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is the second largest party in Russia.
01:05:21.000 They were begging Putin to go in and save these people in the Donbass for the past eight years.
01:05:24.000 They were saying, you're insane, why are you doing anything?
01:05:27.000 Why are you withholding energy to Ukraine?
01:05:28.000 Why are you doing something?
01:05:30.000 So they were very critical.
01:05:31.000 The other fact here is that In 1991, Secretary of State James Baker said NATO is not going to extend one inch east pass of Germany.
01:05:39.000 They violated that promise I think like 16 or 18 times now.
01:05:43.000 They got all the way to Ukraine.
01:05:44.000 That was the red line.
01:05:46.000 Boom.
01:05:46.000 I mean, that's that.
01:05:47.000 And the violence didn't stop.
01:05:50.000 The escalation continued up until the week in which this war started.
01:05:54.000 Again, I don't think this war started on February 24, 2022.
01:05:57.000 I think it started back in 2014 when a foreign government came in, seized power and started to commit violence against any dissidents in the state of Ukraine.
01:06:08.000 But is that, do you think that the goal of Russia is to oust the Ukrainian government and to establish like a legitimate government?
01:06:15.000 Or is it actually to control the land into Crimea?
01:06:18.000 That's what it strikes me that that's what they're looking to get.
01:06:20.000 I think multiple things can be true at once. You can also acknowledge that the land that
01:06:25.000 Russia sees, it's resource rich. That's 12.4 million or 12.4 trillion dollars in resources
01:06:32.000 in that 87,000 square kilometers. So multiple things can be true at once. But yeah, I think
01:06:36.000 the end goal here is to have a government in Kiev that is not backing Nazi thugs that are killing
01:06:44.000 And I think Yanukovych was a guy who was couped.
01:06:47.000 He wasn't explicitly pro-Russian, but he was also looking at EU contracts, doing deals with the EU and integration with the EU.
01:06:55.000 I think Russia just wants someone that's going to be fair in there, but if it comes to force and forcibly putting someone in, I think we can all assume it's going to be someone who is going to be pro-Russian.
01:07:03.000 Do they ever talk publicly about their war goal, the Russian Federation?
01:07:08.000 Of course.
01:07:08.000 What is their stated goal?
01:07:10.000 Uh, stated goal is denazification of Ukraine, uh, do away with all these, you know, these Nazi battalions, Nazi political parties.
01:07:20.000 From 2014 to 2018, there was a good deal of Nazis within the Ukrainian government.
01:07:26.000 2018 onward, it wasn't the case.
01:07:28.000 But the chair of the Verkhovna Rada in Ukraine from 2014 to 2018, uh, he was a self, I mean, self-described Nazi.
01:07:35.000 This guy said, well, I don't know if I should say that here.
01:07:37.000 I'm not going to say it, but you can look it up online for yourself.
01:07:41.000 These are people who really profess these views.
01:07:43.000 You see the videos that Laura Loomer posted in Orlando this week of these guys with swastika chains and they're saying, you know, we support Joe Biden because he's sending rockets to the Ukrainians.
01:07:54.000 These are the guys that are fighting over there.
01:07:55.000 These are guys in government in the Verkhovna Rada and they're trying to strip the Russians of their ability to speak Russian in Russia.
01:08:02.000 So denazification, demilitarization is the other goal, stated goal of the Russians.
01:08:02.000 All that stuff, right?
01:08:07.000 That's just simply dealing with NATO and saying you can't come over here.
01:08:11.000 You can't put nukes right on our border with they're going to be so close.
01:08:15.000 You know, they said that the U.S.
01:08:17.000 said that during the Cuban Missile Crisis that the nukes in Cuba or the missiles in Cuba, that was, you know, a threat.
01:08:24.000 Those were putting missiles right in our backyard.
01:08:28.000 Well, I mean, like, if you look at Ukraine, there, how close they are to Russia, I mean, it's right on the border and you're gonna put nukes there.
01:08:34.000 That's basically putting nukes in someone's living room.
01:08:37.000 How do you think this ends?
01:08:39.000 However Russia wants it to end.
01:08:41.000 Based on, well, so what does that mean?
01:08:43.000 Does that mean Russia takes all of Ukraine?
01:08:46.000 I think if the warmongers keep doing what they're doing, you're going to have Poland, because they're building up Poland as an economic power.
01:08:54.000 They're trying to topple Germany, France, Italy.
01:08:56.000 They're restructuring the EU.
01:08:57.000 Poland's going to move into Western Ukraine, Lviv, with the consent of the US and the deep state.
01:09:03.000 Russia will take, again if this happens, Russia will take everything including Kiev.
01:09:08.000 And, um, you know, Kevin Russo used to be Russian.
01:09:11.000 Yeah.
01:09:12.000 So, it could happen.
01:09:13.000 Right on.
01:09:14.000 Well, let's, uh... Look, I was just gonna ask where Zelensky goes, but we can move on.
01:09:16.000 Ah, I mean, a prison?
01:09:19.000 I'm imagining?
01:09:20.000 We take him as a refugee?
01:09:21.000 Because he's on this, like, PR tour, you know?
01:09:23.000 Hollywood.
01:09:24.000 He's an actor.
01:09:25.000 Sure.
01:09:25.000 Yeah.
01:09:26.000 Well, let's jump to this next story with a hard segue.
01:09:28.000 Axios reports Elon Musk threatens to sue the ADL after blaming it for ex-ad sales slump.
01:09:36.000 The long story short is that he said that, uh, ad revenue is still down by 60% primarily due to pressure on advertisers by the Anti-Defamation League.
01:09:43.000 That's what advertisers tell us.
01:09:44.000 So now he's talking about potentially suing the ADL.
01:09:48.000 And this is big.
01:09:49.000 Part of this, Elon Musk has said there will be a data dump on all communications between the ADL and Twitter before he took over.
01:09:57.000 Holy crap.
01:09:58.000 If there are people who ran businesses on Twitter, who use Twitter for a marketing tool
01:10:03.000 or for awareness building, whatever, that's real monetary value.
01:10:07.000 And if the ADL contacted Twitter to have them banned, I'd argue there's a very strong, tortious
01:10:12.000 interference claim.
01:10:13.000 And if Elon Musk releases all the communications the ADL had with Twitter, the ADL thought
01:10:19.000 We talk to Twitter, we tell them, hey, this person should be banned.
01:10:21.000 Twitter says, okay, they get banned.
01:10:23.000 ADL is not scared that Twitter would ever leak those communications.
01:10:26.000 Elon Musk buys Twitter, and now he can open the floodgates.
01:10:30.000 If he releases these communications, the ADL could be sued into oblivion by every account.
01:10:35.000 Your username could have been MAGATRUMPFORLIFE773 whatever, with underscore seven.
01:10:43.000 And your avatar was just a cartoon of Trump.
01:10:47.000 They go to Twitter and say, ban this person, and you can argue they're interfering, they're defaming me, and they're interfering in my agreement that I have with Twitter that I'm using for my business or whatever it may be.
01:10:59.000 Now, that may be a bit of a stretch, but there are a lot of accounts that had 100,000 followers that made money on the platform.
01:11:04.000 Either selling t-shirts or doing streams or collecting donations, and their business was destroyed by the ADL interfering in the existing agreement they had with Twitter.
01:11:13.000 In fact, if you look at Alex Berenson, this one's really interesting.
01:11:15.000 Not that the ADA comes into play a role here, this is the government, but this is a guy who has, I don't know if at the time he had a Substack, but presumably you're selling subscriptions on Substack.
01:11:25.000 The government comes in and says, ban this guy, even though he didn't break any rules.
01:11:30.000 So what happens?
01:11:30.000 He files a lawsuit.
01:11:31.000 He wins.
01:11:31.000 His account gets reinstated.
01:11:33.000 Imagine all of the accounts targeted by the ADL who did not break the rules but got taken down because the ADL threatened to lie about Twitter and claim they were sowing hate or whatever.
01:11:43.000 Elon Musk's about to open the floodgates again.
01:11:44.000 This could be really, really big.
01:11:46.000 I hope he does sue.
01:11:47.000 I think that's one of the best things that could happen.
01:11:50.000 I think one of the, uh, one of the kryptonites of the American social media general culture is that there are people who can say, this person is bad and you should never speak to them, you should never have them on your platform, and that can have a rippling effect.
01:12:05.000 I mean, maybe it's anonymous account, but maybe it's just someone who posts under their real name, the ADL.
01:12:11.000 Which has its own political bias, doesn't like them.
01:12:14.000 Well, if you're banned from Twitter, what stops you from being banned from PayPal, from MailChimp, from all of these other organizations that say, well, we heard that you were bad.
01:12:22.000 We heard that you're not, we're not allowed to support you.
01:12:24.000 I mean, there is a really serious ripple effect that damages free speech in this culture, and the ADL has been at the center of it for a long time.
01:12:30.000 I love the idea that the ADL, Anti-Defamation League, could get sued for defamation.
01:12:36.000 Yeah, so people are calling them the Defamation League.
01:12:38.000 But they've been sued, I guess, for defamation before.
01:12:40.000 20-some-odd years ago they had to pay out a fine.
01:12:42.000 I don't know exactly what happened with that.
01:12:44.000 But this is a key component to the narrative manipulation in this country.
01:12:49.000 Organizations like the ADL and the SPLC lie.
01:12:52.000 Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie all the time.
01:12:54.000 And, um, that's a fact.
01:12:56.000 Southern Poverty Law Center has had to apologize.
01:12:58.000 The ADL has also had to apologize for putting out false information.
01:13:04.000 But this is what they do.
01:13:05.000 The example I gave earlier is that there's this group called the Election Integrity Partnership that accused me of being a super spreader of fake news and this is why I use NewsGuard.
01:13:13.000 Because now my response to them is just, oh I don't know, take a look at NewsGuard who certified everything you said was fake news and then ask them why they claimed it was legitimate news.
01:13:21.000 Don't look at me.
01:13:22.000 All I can do is use NewsGuard.
01:13:24.000 But the game they play is They never exactly said what fake news it was I was spreading.
01:13:30.000 The ADL will accuse you behind the scenes.
01:13:31.000 You won't even know about it.
01:13:33.000 And then the news reports come out saying you did thing or were accused of it.
01:13:37.000 They'll come out and say, after being, uh, you, uh, so-and-so got banned for hate speech.
01:13:41.000 And then it's just like, what did you actually say?
01:13:43.000 Doesn't matter.
01:13:44.000 Then the media can report it.
01:13:45.000 Then regular people hear it.
01:13:47.000 And then they start making assumptions about you.
01:13:50.000 For a lot of people, like for instance, we had Steve Bannon on the show.
01:13:53.000 The first time he was on this show, I got tons of messages from people saying they thought he was crazy.
01:13:58.000 They never actually heard him speak.
01:14:00.000 There was a meme that they had on Reddit circulating, and it was a picture of Bannon that said, this man thinks his race is superior to yours.
01:14:06.000 And it's like, Steve Bannon's not a white supremacist.
01:14:08.000 He doesn't think that.
01:14:09.000 They make this stuff up.
01:14:11.000 They hire people to spread disinformation.
01:14:13.000 Then they attack social media organizations to get you banned so you can't defend yourself.
01:14:18.000 And it's able to happen because it's government utilizing private companies to attack what would otherwise be definitely free speech.
01:14:29.000 The Ukrainian government put me on a kill list and then I got banned from PayPal, Venmo, Twitch.
01:14:34.000 I got banned from all these things after that.
01:14:37.000 So, I don't know, maybe we could talk, but I think the most interesting answer to this, and obviously any solution is going to have problems, but if you fully nationalize big tech and take it away from these private corporations, wouldn't free speech have to be, at least in maybe a better way than it is today, protected on these platforms?
01:14:55.000 I don't really want Biden administration administering free speech.
01:14:58.000 They have their own position on who gets to speak freely and who doesn't.
01:15:01.000 But they don't take like Medicare away from people in the United States because, at least yet, because you have different political views.
01:15:07.000 Maybe in Canada they do that.
01:15:08.000 But they do target your taxes based on your political views.
01:15:12.000 They do do that.
01:15:13.000 Right.
01:15:13.000 Not a perfect solution, but you... I don't know.
01:15:16.000 It's worth thinking about.
01:15:17.000 I don't think... I think it would create another monopoly controlled by the government, but the idea of forcing these private companies to free their software code to the people as like a government action could work.
01:15:28.000 Because once you have access to the devices or the material software code, you can make your own version of the site and they can't ban you.
01:15:34.000 I was gonna say, if the government owned social media platforms, it's too much like Ministry of Truth for me.
01:15:39.000 I'd rather have someone private.
01:15:42.000 Neither are ideal, but government's like the worst option.
01:15:45.000 Yeah, it's just not going so well in China, you know?
01:15:47.000 No, I don't necessarily agree.
01:15:50.000 If there was a social media that was run like a public utility that was maintained by government workers, It's very difficult for them to come and shut off your water or something like that.
01:16:01.000 The idea would be only under strict, specific regulations could they take your account down, like, with a warrant.
01:16:09.000 Right now- Don't get me wrong, sorry, just- There will be corruption, search warrants are required to break into your house, or for the cops to come in, and they might be able to get a bunk warrant signed by a bad judge.
01:16:18.000 But...
01:16:19.000 If your account is up and you incite or commit a crime through, you know, saying, hey, everyone go do this at this time, they go to a judge, get a warrant, the judge says, take it down, they take it down, then you go and they can arrest you or whatever, but it could theoretically work.
01:16:31.000 I think it could, and it's... The problems you guys brought up, it's the same exact problems we have today.
01:16:36.000 Like, when I got banned from Twitch, one of my viewers at a FOIA request found out the organization that wrote the whole article to get me banned from Twitch Was in communications with the Department of Homeland Security.
01:16:47.000 They were going back and forth and suggesting names to get taken down from these platforms over Russian disinformation.
01:16:54.000 So you still you have those problems today and I think you would have those problems if you nationalize Twitter or Facebook or whatever, but I think they would be far less.
01:17:02.000 And if they did happen, you could always do a FOIA request.
01:17:04.000 Kind of like with healthcare, like a public-private thing where you still have private healthcare insurance, you still have private social media, but then you could have a public social media free software.
01:17:13.000 It'd still be called X, but yeah, you'd have some sort of regulation.
01:17:17.000 But you don't actually need government to run it.
01:17:19.000 You could simply have regulation that states accounts cannot be taken down without a warrant signed by a judge.
01:17:27.000 So we've talked about it quite a bit, actually.
01:17:31.000 In New York, for instance, Occupy Wall Street took place on what's called a POPS, a publicly owned private space.
01:17:37.000 So, the land is owned by an organization, an entity, but you can use it because of an agreement they have with the city, which grants them certain liability protections, but also grants you free speech rights, even though it's owned by somebody.
01:17:46.000 So, Elon Musk can monetize, can put ads up, he's the owner, but he can't remove people because he's made an agreement on liability.
01:17:54.000 That's the way it should be.
01:17:55.000 When Occupy Wall Street happened, they said, we want to remove these people, and they're like, there was a lawsuit, and they're like, you can't.
01:18:00.000 It's a public space, so free speech is allowed.
01:18:02.000 You can't just claim private property after the fact.
01:18:05.000 The same thing should be true for Twitter.
01:18:07.000 Once you're signed up and on, you have free speech.
01:18:09.000 They can't remove you unless you commit a crime and they get a warrant.
01:18:13.000 I was going to say, it seems like social media, your rights, the rights of free speech aren't being extended online fully as, you know, like you can go outside of a Starbucks and you can say whatever you want.
01:18:13.000 Yep.
01:18:23.000 You can't say whatever you want, uh, you know, on Twitter.
01:18:26.000 So I think if we fully extended those rights, we wouldn't need to even have, you know, the government take over.
01:18:31.000 But you don't even need government maintaining it.
01:18:33.000 Like, these privately owned public spaces are maintained by the organizations that own them.
01:18:37.000 And there's some benefit.
01:18:38.000 Usually they get a tax write-off or something.
01:18:41.000 They're not going to pay taxes on it because it's open to the public, but then they pay to maintain it.
01:18:45.000 In the instance of Twitter, They get the lawsuit protections.
01:18:49.000 You're not responsible for what anybody says.
01:18:50.000 You can sell the ads, but you also can't remove people unless they're breaking the law.
01:18:56.000 There are challenges with that, but I think the issue then gets to what we've talked about before.
01:19:01.000 If you go out in public and you have a big poster with porn on it, you're going to get arrested on obscenity charges or something.
01:19:07.000 They're going to take it, they're going to pull the sign down, they're going to say you can't do that.
01:19:11.000 Twitter should be the same thing.
01:19:13.000 I don't understand how we got to the point where we as a society still recognize you can't go out in public and show lewd images and wave them around in the air, but on Twitter, you can.
01:19:22.000 On any social media platform.
01:19:24.000 Why is it that you have to show an ID to get into a bar?
01:19:27.000 You have to show an ID to get into a casino.
01:19:29.000 You can't even walk through a casino unless you're 21.
01:19:32.000 You can't even bring your kids to the restaurant.
01:19:34.000 So a lot of casinos will do this thing where the restaurant is actually just on the other side of the security line so families can actually bring their kids.
01:19:40.000 Yet when it comes to looking at adult graphic content on the internet, there's no requirements?
01:19:45.000 Yeah.
01:19:45.000 That's nonsense.
01:19:46.000 Yeah.
01:19:47.000 No, it's crazy.
01:19:49.000 You know, other countries aren't like that.
01:19:51.000 In Asia, China, you don't have that sort of stuff.
01:19:53.000 Russia's doing away with that stuff.
01:19:55.000 And I think at its core, the question of this issue of hashtag ban the ADL, it's like all of these issues of foreign or domestic interference in private companies is completely legal.
01:20:12.000 There's no First Amendment protection.
01:20:13.000 But Tim, like you said, if you have some sort of a structure in place there that guarantees free speech, It would do away, anytime you have someone getting banned or taken off for something other than explicit content or illegal claims.
01:20:27.000 Criminal activity.
01:20:27.000 Criminal activity.
01:20:28.000 You know, that's immediately a free speech issue.
01:20:31.000 I want to jump to this story.
01:20:32.000 Let's get cultural.
01:20:33.000 We have this one from TheGamer.com.
01:20:35.000 They say, Starfield isn't woke.
01:20:37.000 You're just afraid of the future.
01:20:39.000 Now, many of you may not be familiar with Starfield.
01:20:41.000 It's a video game.
01:20:42.000 And a controversy has emerged because you can choose your pronouns in the game.
01:20:48.000 Another game just came out called Baldur's Gate, which is also sparking some culture war outrage that I think is worth talking about.
01:20:54.000 Because there was a funny meme and it said, gamers are entering the culture war, you know, what's going to happen now?
01:21:00.000 And it's like, Gamergate was the beginning of the culture war, when people playing video gamers got upset over a variety of issues, including gaming companies paying media outlets to write favorable reviews for them.
01:21:14.000 But this is what happened.
01:21:15.000 Here's a story.
01:21:16.000 Starfield has pronouns.
01:21:18.000 Actually, Ian, can you explain what Starfield is?
01:21:20.000 Starfield is a game by Bethesda.
01:21:21.000 It's their newest launch, so like Elder Scrolls and Fallout, this is the new one and it's a space game where you can fly around from planet to planet and experience different biomes.
01:21:30.000 I think it's first person.
01:21:31.000 First new IP by Bethesda in 25 years.
01:21:34.000 You've actually been playing it, Kellen, you said.
01:21:36.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:21:37.000 I've not really encountered any wokeness.
01:21:40.000 I mean, the pronouns thing was already default to he, him, so I didn't even touch it when I started the game.
01:21:44.000 But I'm curious what this article talks about because so far I've enjoyed it.
01:21:48.000 I haven't run into any nonsense.
01:21:49.000 Is it like Fallout?
01:21:51.000 Exactly.
01:21:52.000 So what Fallout 76 should have been, except in space.
01:21:55.000 Like it just works well.
01:21:56.000 You know, it's very in-depth.
01:21:57.000 I like it so far.
01:21:58.000 They say, shortly after early access began this weekend, a clip went viral featuring a bald British man screaming about how Starfield is desperate to remind us of the current day with its use of pronouns and body diversity.
01:22:09.000 They say, hundreds of years in the future, a universe that reflects the progress made within our own allows players to select the pronouns people in their lives choose to address them.
01:22:16.000 This choice is respected and is an obvious component of making your character in the RPG's opening moments.
01:22:21.000 So, uh, I got a question.
01:22:24.000 Pronouns are only used not in your presence.
01:22:27.000 Or if someone's speaking about you with you not privy to the conversation.
01:22:30.000 How does it work in a video game when it's a first person game and you're involved in every conversation?
01:22:36.000 They'll probably talk about you in front of you.
01:22:38.000 To prove they're doing it.
01:22:40.000 Z doesn't want to go over there anymore.
01:22:43.000 Can you type in your pronoun or do you have a list you can select from?
01:22:46.000 I think it's a list.
01:22:49.000 Dude, I gotta say, I watched the intro, I watched MF Pallytime play, I think it was Pallytime play the intro, and it was rough, man.
01:22:57.000 It was like woke.
01:22:59.000 Girl boss, this old woman... Starfield was?
01:23:02.000 Yeah, is like the boss and she has no charisma and you're like, why is this woman the main character?
01:23:07.000 And then this dude, this beta dude comes up and he's like, I'm gonna give you my ship for no reason!
01:23:13.000 And that's the beginning of the game and then it just dumps you and it's like, wow, this is like... Well, that's the beauty of the game is you can completely take a left turn if you don't want to follow that.
01:23:21.000 That's how, you know, that's how fast... Oblivion, Skyrim... Right, so you can...
01:23:25.000 You don't have to follow that storyline if it's rubbing you the wrong way.
01:23:28.000 I like having the option, you know?
01:23:30.000 Here it says, Starfield doesn't even push the progressive boat all that much, from what I can tell.
01:23:34.000 Most of its companions abide by the sexuality of the player when it comes to romance, while going with the non-binary gender option will also lock you to a specific protagonist voice that can't be changed no matter how you might sound or look in reality.
01:23:45.000 Which brings me to the next story, which is, um, Baldur's Gate, which I also, uh, I just started playing Baldur's Gate, um, and...
01:23:53.000 This was silly, and I almost just couldn't do it.
01:23:55.000 Sorry, whatever.
01:23:56.000 I'm 37.
01:23:57.000 The wokeness in this game was beyond... was almost just... I just... I just... Okay, look.
01:24:04.000 Usually when I play these games, I just do, like, random character.
01:24:07.000 I don't care.
01:24:08.000 And the name will be, like, random letters.
01:24:10.000 Whatever, dude.
01:24:10.000 It's a first-person game.
01:24:12.000 You know, you're sneaking around.
01:24:13.000 With Baldur's Gate, it's more of, like, an overhead turn-based RPG.
01:24:19.000 But with Baldur's Gate, you can be... When you're creating, you create two characters to start with.
01:24:24.000 And you create one more directly, and then one as a companion.
01:24:27.000 And so I'm like, okay, you know, Baldur's Gate, Ian tried playing it.
01:24:30.000 I'll play this one.
01:24:32.000 And so in the character creation, you can choose body type 1, 2, 3, or 4.
01:24:35.000 I think there's four body types.
01:24:36.000 There's basically thin woman, man, fat woman, and fat man.
01:24:40.000 Or like, wide body, I guess.
01:24:43.000 Then there's gender identity.
01:24:45.000 And voice.
01:24:46.000 So you can have, like, a Type 1 body, which is female, with a dude's face and, like, a female voice, like, you know, I don't know.
01:24:55.000 Or you can have, like, a woman with, like, a dude voice who identifies as a man.
01:24:59.000 Identity is actually a character characteristic in the game.
01:25:02.000 So you can take a female, totally female character in every possible way, and then say, identifies as a man.
01:25:06.000 And I have, I just, I, I'm like, what is the purpose of this?
01:25:09.000 So here's what ends up happening.
01:25:10.000 I always just do, like, random character creation.
01:25:12.000 Like, yeah, I don't care.
01:25:13.000 Now, Baldur's Gate is like D&D, so there's a lot more complicated choices you have to make.
01:25:18.000 But let me just tell you something funny happens in the woke future of video gaming.
01:25:22.000 Let me explain.
01:25:24.000 When you play Fallout 3, and you can choose your character male or female, if you choose male, and then click randomize, it will choose a random haircut with random facial features, and make a random looking guy.
01:25:35.000 If you choose female, you can do the same thing.
01:25:38.000 Random looking woman with random looking hair, like the hair could be long, could be short, could be spiky, whatever, you could have scars, you could have tattoos.
01:25:44.000 But when you mix it all together, and I pressed randomize, the first thing I got was a purple haired Man, big masculine man face, with a female purple haircut, bright pinkish purple, with big boobs, who talked like a dude, and then I was just like, if the character can be male and female at the same time, random typically gives you something that is particularly
01:26:12.000 What's the right word?
01:26:13.000 Egregious?
01:26:14.000 No, no, no, like, atypical, not normal.
01:26:16.000 Like, if you chose guy, and then a randomized guy at the end of the video game, you'll get some, like, random guy, and he'll be like, hi, I'm a guy.
01:26:21.000 You pick a woman, she'll be like, hi, I'm a woman.
01:26:22.000 But with Baldur's Gate, it's like, every character was some weird amalgam of male and female.
01:26:29.000 Yeah, I couldn't get my guy to stop looking like a woman.
01:26:31.000 It was really frustrating.
01:26:32.000 And there's like, I press randomize one and it's like a dude's buzz cut with a female face and a super ripped man body but talking like this, like a woman.
01:26:40.000 And I'm like, identifying as a woman but looking like a big ripped guy or like the fat woman body with a big bearded dude's face talking like this.
01:26:48.000 I'm like, it's just...
01:26:51.000 You know, look, it's one thing to make a character based on you, but the issue is when they mix it all together, and then when I was creating the next character, who apparently is like a main character or something, similar, it's similar.
01:27:03.000 It's just like random features that don't mix, and it's, I don't know, it's just crazy.
01:27:08.000 It's just pure chaos.
01:27:09.000 Other than that, the game's fine.
01:27:11.000 I actually enjoyed the mechanics.
01:27:12.000 I wanted to spend no time on character creation, so I kept hitting random, and it kept giving me these, like, these bla- I don't know if blasphemous is the right word, but these, like, things that were, like, abhorrent to rea- to nature.
01:27:21.000 They were, like, horrible.
01:27:23.000 And I just kept hitting random until a normal person appeared, and I took the first one I saw.
01:27:26.000 That's what I did.
01:27:28.000 I was just, I'm like, I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with this.
01:27:31.000 Maybe it's just like, uh, it's supposed to emulate what game devs look like.
01:27:35.000 Like, they're building it off themselves.
01:27:38.000 People have pointed that out, that characters in movies tend to look like the writers of these movies, or the graphic designers.
01:27:45.000 Like, seriously, there's like a meme about it, where it's like, there's a woman and she's got like frizzy hair and glasses, and she's like, I made a game!
01:27:50.000 And the character is literally her, and it's like... But this one, I agree with you, abomination might be the word?
01:27:56.000 Yeah, hideous.
01:27:57.000 The physical characteristics that you get don't affect the character's ability, right?
01:28:00.000 Sometimes.
01:28:01.000 So if it looks really ripped, it's not more strong than if it's not.
01:28:04.000 No, in some games it matters because of hitboxes, like how big your character is determines if someone is like attacking you, but not this game.
01:28:12.000 This game is like a turn-based RPG with a bunch of different stats.
01:28:15.000 The game's actually really fun.
01:28:17.000 It's kind of like, I don't know, I'm only like an hour in, and it's a bit nonsensical, like random things are just happening.
01:28:23.000 But I'm having fun with it, and it's cool mechanics, and I like the RPG style.
01:28:28.000 It's basically D&D.
01:28:29.000 But I almost turned it off right away when I'm playing this game, and it's just like, I don't understand the purpose of identity in the game.
01:28:37.000 Like, seriously.
01:28:38.000 The character doesn't seem to be influenced or anything by this, but there was a funny meme.
01:28:43.000 Which, uh, actually got me, you know, I found after I started seeing all this stuff where a guy is complaining that he bought the game but all of the dude characters keep trying to bang his dude.
01:28:53.000 He's like, my character's just like a ranger guy and all of the companions keep trying to have sex with me, like, what is going on?
01:28:59.000 Why are they all gay?
01:29:01.000 And that was really interesting to me in this concept of where woke gaming goes.
01:29:05.000 In most games, there was the protagonist, his allies, and then maybe his love interest, maybe.
01:29:09.000 But now, because these games are becoming more open world, and they want to entertain all identities, every interaction has to have a component of some sexual or romantic endeavor, whereas games did not used to have that.
01:29:21.000 They would have, like, one love interest that you could maybe, now it's just like, you've made a guy character, well, all the guys are gay and they want to do you.
01:29:27.000 And do you want that in your video games?
01:29:29.000 Like, is that, do you want it?
01:29:31.000 I feel like if you wanted it to be like, who are you in love with, you'd play like Sims 2 or whatever.
01:29:37.000 You wouldn't play this game.
01:29:39.000 Seems strange to me.
01:29:40.000 That's been my biggest issue with this.
01:29:41.000 I could really care less.
01:29:42.000 It's just like, tell me a good story.
01:29:44.000 I want to play a good video game to learn a good story, not spend 15 minutes in character creation.
01:29:48.000 Like, I just feel like they're hiring these teams to focus on love interests and purple hair when it's like, yo, like Tim said, I want to just fight the Dragon Man.
01:29:57.000 Seriously, give it a try if you have the game.
01:30:00.000 Anybody who has the game probably experienced this already.
01:30:02.000 But if you haven't, I'm not suggesting you buy it just for this.
01:30:05.000 I'm having fun with the game so far.
01:30:07.000 It's pretty fun.
01:30:08.000 It's a tad complicated in a lot of ways, but it's worth it.
01:30:10.000 But just go to the character creation and hit random, and you're gonna go, uh-uh!
01:30:14.000 If it's anything like Divinity 2, there's a lot of combinations, so one guy can squirt oil on the ground and the other guy can shoot fire at it and make it explode.
01:30:22.000 Yes, I believe you can do that.
01:30:24.000 That's what the game's all about for me, not who is the character you're going to have sex with.
01:30:28.000 Not for kids, like if you want to let your 12 year old play a game, keep in mind that there's nudity in that game that you can turn on and off.
01:30:35.000 The first thing it asked me when it turned the game on, I was like, do you want nudity, yes or no?
01:30:38.000 Yes.
01:30:39.000 And yes is the default.
01:30:40.000 I said yes.
01:30:40.000 I'll say this, do not give your kids this game.
01:30:44.000 It's like real life Sodom and Gomorrah.
01:30:46.000 Yeah, look, the game's fine.
01:30:48.000 Uh, like, the gameplay's pretty great.
01:30:50.000 I'm enjoying it.
01:30:51.000 It's a lot of fun.
01:30:52.000 Uh, you, like, roll a d20 and see.
01:30:54.000 I have some critical successes that are really fun.
01:30:56.000 Yeah.
01:30:57.000 But, uh, I would not give, uh, anyone, like, any child in my family, my future child, or, like, my, you know, my nephews or nieces or whatever, I wouldn't give them this game.
01:31:06.000 Because they're going to be confused by why the character, like, the character creation stuff.
01:31:12.000 Pronouns, identity, and all that stuff, that's creepo indoctrination.
01:31:15.000 And so that story about Starfield's interesting, they're like, it's not even that woke, it's just in the future they respect pronouns.
01:31:19.000 Bro, pronouns are cult garbage nonsense.
01:31:22.000 Not even every language has pronouns.
01:31:25.000 That's the crazy thing.
01:31:26.000 It is your weirdo, Americanized, white liberal cult.
01:31:30.000 That's not what the future is.
01:31:31.000 Sorry, have a nice day.
01:31:32.000 Yeah.
01:31:33.000 From what I've seen with Starfield, I'm trying to play devil's advocate here because to me that was only a tiny component was the pronouns.
01:31:40.000 To me, they gave that project to a small team or one or two employees and said have fun.
01:31:46.000 I think it's a two-edged sword.
01:31:47.000 For that same reason, I think the game's so great.
01:31:49.000 I think they've had a lot of people just be able to create their own stories and storylines that you can play through in the game.
01:31:55.000 So you're going to get some weird stuff, but you're also going to get some really unique gems, in my opinion.
01:31:59.000 Do you think it's better than Fallout 4?
01:32:01.000 No.
01:32:01.000 No.
01:32:02.000 I don't think it's Fallout.
01:32:04.000 I don't think it's better than Fallout.
01:32:05.000 Are you a video game guy?
01:32:07.000 It's still good.
01:32:07.000 I like it, though.
01:32:08.000 No, but I think whoever made this game... Russia and China never would allow anything like this within a thousand miles of their border.
01:32:18.000 And I think in America we have a really big problem with this sort of stuff, indoctrinating the youth, confusing them, like Tim said, at a young age about all these things that they shouldn't be thinking about.
01:32:27.000 They should be... When I played video games when I was younger, it was like Wii Sports.
01:32:31.000 You know, it was just dumb stuff like that.
01:32:34.000 Now you got all this, I mean, there is a vested interest that is pushing this, trying to push people down this path, and that path ultimately is about not having babies and doing freakish stuff.
01:32:43.000 Yeah.
01:32:43.000 Like, Mario would save the princess.
01:32:46.000 You'd be like, I saved the girl.
01:32:47.000 There, my male, like, my ancestral DNA is lit on fire because I saved the princess.
01:32:53.000 But now it's like, Mario walking in with his shirt, he's kind of sweaty, and like, I don't want to see him pushing the princess up against the wall and like, them making out.
01:33:01.000 Like, you don't need to add that stuff to Super Mario Brothers.
01:33:04.000 And a lot of these new games are like, They're going so cinematic, but like... to a fault?
01:33:11.000 I don't know, I mean, I guess... How many of these games or shows really need that component in it?
01:33:16.000 I don't think you need it at all, but I'm from an era where they didn't have it, so... Well, and I think it's because some people are just more... they expect sexually explicit content more casually all the time now, and I would blame that on pornography and the readily available access to that.
01:33:31.000 I mean, people are like, it's not compelling unless you see this, but actually you guys are testament to the fact that, like, video games were compelling when they had strong storylines.
01:33:38.000 They're for sure moving us to a game that's a movie that is a porn where you are the main character in VR, where you have an open world with abilities, but you can also have sex.
01:33:48.000 That's where we're headed.
01:33:50.000 We're heading to a world which is going to be open world VR, anything you want at all.
01:33:55.000 You're gonna eat ice cream all day, you're gonna eat chocolate cake.
01:33:59.000 Now, like, for the time being, the VR stuff that exists, there's no point in playing a game where you eat cake because you don't actually experience the dopamine hit from eating the cake.
01:34:06.000 But once they get that neural link going, then people are gonna be eating chocolate cake all day.
01:34:10.000 What about drugs?
01:34:11.000 If they could induce, like, a dopamine reaction in your brain by taking digital heroin in the game, you're like, my character's gonna shoot up a jet or whatever the hell it is.
01:34:20.000 I think they'd make that a- yeah, that's what they do in Fallout.
01:34:22.000 They breathe it in.
01:34:23.000 I think that'd be illegal.
01:34:25.000 Because it would cause the exact same problems triggering dopamine release or whatever would cause the same artificially or through chemical induction.
01:34:33.000 I think it would just cause you serious problems that have to ban it, but don't know how you do it.
01:34:37.000 You're going to go to like Neuralink drug dens where they're like, we can bypass the patch and security features to trigger whatever feeling you want.
01:34:45.000 Yeah, because at first, in the game, you'll be taking the drug and then you'll be getting the feeling in real life, but then they'll be like, no, no, no, in the game, it's illegal to take the drug in the game, and they'll be like, okay, I'm just going to stare at flowers in the game, but you're still going to get the feeling, and then they'll be like, we can't stop.
01:34:58.000 Because basically, clicking like, like looking at all your likes on social media is producing dopamine, kind of like a drug, scrolling and scrolling.
01:35:05.000 Have you guys watched The Peripheral on Amazon?
01:35:07.000 Yes.
01:35:08.000 Negative.
01:35:08.000 Yeah.
01:35:08.000 Wait, I think so.
01:35:09.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep.
01:35:10.000 And she's got that weird, like, it's almost like she's hungover when she comes out of the, uh, I forget if it's a computer game or whatever it is.
01:35:17.000 They're in, like, a branch timeline.
01:35:19.000 But when she disconnects, she's all disoriented and, like, weak and everything, so I wonder if we'll get something like that, even if drugs aren't related, that people are just so used to being in the VR when they come out.
01:35:29.000 Dude.
01:35:29.000 It's just a total shock to the system, you know?
01:35:32.000 Guys, I have a confession to make.
01:35:35.000 Last night, I went to go live Moss.
01:35:38.000 I'm proud of you.
01:35:39.000 You deserve it.
01:35:39.000 And when I walked when I walked in, they had big touchpads.
01:35:44.000 And I did not talk to a human.
01:35:46.000 Where?
01:35:47.000 Taco Bell.
01:35:48.000 Oh, live mas!
01:35:49.000 Live mas!
01:35:50.000 And I got I got a cheese yogurt dita crunch.
01:35:52.000 And it was delicious.
01:35:55.000 It was worth it.
01:35:55.000 Have you seen their- But I ordered on the- I ordered on the kiosk.
01:35:58.000 Yep.
01:35:58.000 And then it just made and they're like, they yell out my initials.
01:36:01.000 DP.
01:36:02.000 They got your order right?
01:36:03.000 Yeah.
01:36:03.000 I think it's kinda nice.
01:36:06.000 But I'm just saying like, this is the- like, you're- in the future man, I'm talking like very soon, there's not gonna be a counter.
01:36:13.000 You're gonna walk in to the kiosk, you're gonna hit the buttons, and then it's gonna go, order 17.
01:36:19.000 And then you're gonna walk over and it's gonna open up and the food's gonna slide out.
01:36:22.000 I don't want some smelly, freakish, blue-haired, who knows, you know, like, Starbucks worker taking my order at 7am when I'm trying to wake up.
01:36:32.000 Like, just give me my order, put that person to work on an oil rig or something, do something.
01:36:37.000 Do something useful, you know, and if you can't do that, then sucks, but we need an economy that is oriented around human prosperity, not around, like, degenerate freaks expressing their identity, handing me a latte that they didn't even do anything to me.
01:36:50.000 But I don't know if that has to do with AI takeover.
01:36:54.000 Oh yeah, it does.
01:36:54.000 I mean, like, the dudes who are working there- I want full AI takeover.
01:36:56.000 But the people working there were not like you're describing, it was like a regular dude.
01:36:59.000 And it's just like, I don't interact with him, though.
01:37:01.000 His labor is better used elsewhere.
01:37:06.000 Yeah.
01:37:07.000 I think the issue, though, is there's a finite amount of better-use-elsewhere labor.
01:37:11.000 So when we automate away all the low-skill jobs, what are you gonna do with all these immigrants?
01:37:15.000 What are you gonna do with all these high school students?
01:37:18.000 They're gonna be locked in the Neuralink pod eating bugs and they're gonna be like, life is good.
01:37:23.000 I think the answer to that is... I think the answer to that is A, having a shorter work week.
01:37:28.000 I mean, you don't really need people working 40 or 80 hours a week, as so many are, to make this country run.
01:37:35.000 You could have way more free time for the average American.
01:37:39.000 That American that is Has that free time?
01:37:41.000 I mean, I'd hope most people, God-fearing people, family-oriented people, are gonna start new businesses.
01:37:47.000 I mean, it's what's happening in China right now.
01:37:48.000 They've got more millionaires than ever before, they got more billionaires than ever before, more people being lifted out of poverty, and their country's not going down a path of social degeneracy and lunacy and chaos like we are here.
01:38:01.000 That's what's happening in America.
01:38:03.000 China's going in a direction of Actually increase prosperity for the average person, despite what you think of the characteristics of the country itself and what they value there.
01:38:12.000 I've heard that the way that they responded to COVID by shutting down annihilated their economy.
01:38:17.000 Is that not true?
01:38:20.000 I mean, their economy did take a slight hit, but you know, there's certain things you talk, you can't talk about on YouTube.
01:38:26.000 They viewed COVID very differently than every other country viewed COVID.

01:38:59.000 Crazy Blake says, love you guys.
01:39:01.000 Keep up the good work.
01:39:02.000 Rip Roberto.
01:39:03.000 Roberto's still alive.
01:39:03.000 It's Roberto Jr.
01:39:04.000 I have bad news.
01:39:05.000 Vanessa passed away in her sleep.
01:39:07.000 Oh my gosh.
01:39:08.000 Yep, yep.
01:39:09.000 Man, so few OG chickens remain.
01:39:12.000 What is a typical chicken lifespan?
01:39:15.000 10 years.
01:39:15.000 Oh wow, so these ones are going quickly.
01:39:17.000 But, I mean, they die for a lot of reasons.
01:39:22.000 Yeah.
01:39:23.000 So one had cancer.
01:39:25.000 The chickens that we got, we were warned, were a weak batch.
01:39:29.000 We got him in the winter and he was like, you know, you're going to lose some of them because they're fairly weak, you know, in the winter and all that stuff.
01:39:36.000 But I don't know.
01:39:37.000 Vanessa's been around for almost three, she was three.
01:39:40.000 Yeah.
01:39:41.000 And it's unfortunate.
01:39:43.000 Roberto Jr.
01:39:44.000 we knew had issues.
01:39:45.000 When he would crow, he would collapse.
01:39:47.000 And so we didn't know what to expect.
01:39:48.000 And then he had a heart attack and died suddenly.
01:39:51.000 It's unfortunate.
01:39:52.000 It's very sad.
01:39:52.000 But I think we've only lost maybe like five out of the massive amount of chickens that we have.
01:39:57.000 So, you know, and yeah.
01:39:59.000 How's his heir doing?
01:40:01.000 We have Roberto the third and he's got a brother too.
01:40:04.000 So, uh, they need some names.
01:40:06.000 Let's figure it out.
01:40:06.000 And Roberto's in there as well.
01:40:08.000 We just, you know, we don't want him banging his daughters.
01:40:09.000 So he's good.
01:40:10.000 He's got to stay separate for the time being until we get, uh, until we move some, some everybody around.
01:40:15.000 All right.
01:40:17.000 Zimemaru says, I like you Jackson, but you had one bizarre take on the Avatar movie.
01:40:21.000 Also, have you guys seen the first day out Trump rap song?
01:40:24.000 AI is going to make 2024's meme war next level.
01:40:27.000 I have not seen it.
01:40:27.000 I will look into it.
01:40:30.000 I started playing Fallout 3 again, so I'm interested in trying Starfield, but I just don't think you could ever beat Fallout 3.
01:40:36.000 Yeah, I'm gonna give Starfield a try, I think.
01:40:38.000 I mean, it'd be silly not to.
01:40:39.000 I've been playing Bethesda games since the beginning.
01:40:41.000 I don't know, I like Baldur's Gate.
01:40:42.000 Baldur's Gate's fun.
01:40:42.000 They're close by, too, in Bethesda headquarters.
01:40:45.000 Bethesda, Maryland.
01:40:45.000 Well, they're actually not in Bethesda, Maryland, but they're right down the road.
01:40:48.000 They're not far.
01:40:48.000 Field trip, let's go.
01:40:50.000 When's the new Elder Scrolls coming out?
01:40:53.000 It's gonna be a couple years, because this one they were putting everything into in Starfield.
01:40:57.000 And they're doing Fallout 76, and they're just pushing more of that.
01:41:01.000 I don't know if that game's still getting updates.
01:41:03.000 It might be.
01:41:03.000 Yeah, it is.
01:41:04.000 I'm pretty sure they just put out a new update.
01:41:05.000 Not gonna be wrong.
01:41:07.000 It's decent.
01:41:08.000 Fallout 3 is one of the best games ever made, if not the best video game ever made.
01:41:12.000 It's just, it's a masterpiece.
01:41:14.000 It's got Liam Neeson in it.
01:41:16.000 It's got Malcolm McDowell in it.
01:41:18.000 Yeah, where you go on like the old aircraft carrier.
01:41:20.000 Felicia Day's in it, yeah, Rivet City.
01:41:21.000 She is?
01:41:22.000 I didn't know all those actors were involved.
01:41:23.000 I'm pretty sure Felicia Day's in Fallout 3.
01:41:24.000 Wow.
01:41:25.000 Yeah, that was groundbreaking, that game.
01:41:27.000 What's your take on the Avatar movie?
01:41:29.000 Uh, the blue people were the bad ones.
01:41:33.000 What were they bad about?
01:41:35.000 They're hoarding all the resources.
01:41:36.000 These guys are just trying to come in and make life a little bit better, develop a little bit.
01:41:41.000 Real quick, no, no, she's in New Vegas.
01:41:42.000 I was wrong about Fallout 3.
01:41:44.000 Anyway, continue.
01:41:44.000 They're just the bad people.
01:41:46.000 This is Wall Street, City of London.
01:41:48.000 They're trying to hoard all the resources from the working man that's trying to get by.
01:41:53.000 So if they don't know they have the resources, it's like oil that they aren't able to synthesize yet, but they're living on top of it.
01:42:03.000 I want to do short films that show the opposite perspective of these famous stories in movies.
01:42:09.000 Star Wars is about a young kid from a desert planet who's radicalized by religious zealots.
01:42:14.000 They hijack a cargo ship to go blow up a military base.
01:42:17.000 Darth Vader's a disabled war veteran.
01:42:20.000 Like, that's the story right there.
01:42:22.000 But that's overt.
01:42:23.000 Like, you literally watch that movie and that's what it is.
01:42:26.000 This kid's like, oh wow, you're gonna fight the rebellion, they call it, against the Empire?
01:42:31.000 The Death Star was called Project Stardust.
01:42:33.000 It was a military base.
01:42:34.000 Anyway, I digress.
01:42:35.000 There's a whole bunch of ways you could interpret other stories.
01:42:38.000 With Avatar...
01:42:39.000 I'm like, the short film version from the perspective of the US or the Earth interests, is that they come to this planet, and they see a bunch of natural resources, and the natives are brutally sacrificing children and putting them on the altar and flaying them alive, and then they're like, Do we ignore this, or do we intervene?
01:42:59.000 And then, you know, on Earth they're like, we need to stop them from sacrificing children and pulling their hearts out, and then the activists are like, you're stealing indigenous culture!
01:43:09.000 And one more thing, if you look at the Indian Collective in the United States, that's the organization that's fighting land back for all the indigenous tribes across America right now.
01:43:18.000 Guess who's the one who's funding it?
01:43:20.000 It's Jeff Bezos.
01:43:21.000 Jeff Bezos is funding the Indian Collective Land Back for the Indigenous People.
01:43:25.000 They just want to protect the land, but there's something more sinister at play.
01:43:29.000 Alright, let's read some more Super Chats.
01:43:33.000 What have we?
01:43:33.000 Where are we at?
01:43:35.000 Noah Sanders says, Jackson, just wanna let you know there's a fake profile of you going around following people you follow.
01:43:40.000 He says, I posted a photo on Axe and tagged you.
01:43:42.000 Don't want someone giving you a bad name.
01:43:45.000 You know, to be honest though, that happens all the time.
01:43:47.000 I get messages from people who are like, did you know that there's 87,396 accounts that are imitating you?
01:43:51.000 And I'm like, dude, whatever.
01:43:52.000 Like, what are you supposed to do?
01:43:53.000 And they're all on YouTube and they're trying to get people to download, like, some crypto app or something.
01:43:57.000 Whatever, man.
01:43:59.000 That's the conspiracy theory why Elon Musk actually bought Twitter.
01:44:02.000 Because people kept making fake profiles of him and then doing bit- Bitcoin scams.
01:44:06.000 And he kept telling them to, like, stop and then Twitter was like, well, whatever.
01:44:10.000 So now he's like, everyone's gotta be verified!
01:44:12.000 No more of this!
01:44:14.000 Someone copied my profile on Instagram earlier this year and it was like crypto advice and they messaged my older brother and were like, hello, I've gotten interested in the stock market or like something like that.
01:44:24.000 And, you know, it was a very close copy that changed like one letter in my username, but I definitely would not want to be mistaken for a crypto expert.
01:44:32.000 All right, Kalashnikov says, Tim, you said you like the Fallout games.
01:44:34.000 Have you tried Starfield?
01:44:36.000 If not, save your time and money.
01:44:37.000 It's absolutely dreadful.
01:44:39.000 Oh.
01:44:39.000 Really?
01:44:40.000 I need to know why now.
01:44:44.000 Okay, here's my theory.
01:44:45.000 My theory is that for the last 10, like I said, first new IP from Bethesda in 25 years, well, you raised a whole generation on Call of Duty and Fortnite.
01:44:52.000 So you have a lot of this rhetoric online, in my opinion, is coming from people who are addicted to multiplayer games.
01:44:58.000 They see the single player, how in-depth it is.
01:45:00.000 They're like, this is a chore.
01:45:03.000 See, here's the thing.
01:45:05.000 Bethesda purchased Fallout, the IP, and then they took the isometric game, applied its lore, which is awesome, to their basically Elder Scrolls engine.
01:45:18.000 I think they bought it from Obsidian, right?
01:45:21.000 I think it was Obsidian who made Fallout.
01:45:24.000 And then Fallout New Vegas, which everyone said was way better, was when Obsidian used their engine and added the storyline the way that they wanted it.
01:45:31.000 Fallout 4, I thought, was dreadful.
01:45:33.000 It's like, you no longer had speech options, you had, like, one of four buttons to press.
01:45:40.000 It just was not enjoyable.
01:45:41.000 And so, while I can respect Elder Scrolls, I like Skyrim.
01:45:44.000 That's fine, I'm looking forward to the new one.
01:45:46.000 I thought Fallout 76 was kind of bad.
01:45:47.000 They're like, there's no people in it.
01:45:49.000 Like, you're the people.
01:45:49.000 I'm like, no.
01:45:50.000 Yeah.
01:45:51.000 So I am willing to bet I probably will not like it.
01:45:55.000 Do they have a good alchemy crafting system?
01:45:57.000 Yeah, it's very in-depth.
01:45:59.000 A bunch of different crafting stations you can do for different things.
01:46:02.000 It is like choose one of four options, but once you choose one option it snakes into another three or four.
01:46:08.000 So it's not bad, and it's a new game engine that they designed.
01:46:11.000 I don't know.
01:46:12.000 I just don't want to be black-pilled on everything.
01:46:14.000 I do enjoy it.
01:46:15.000 It's a video game.
01:46:16.000 You're supposed to have fun.
01:46:17.000 Let's read some more.
01:46:18.000 I mean, Baldur's Gate, I'm having fun.
01:46:19.000 Yeah.
01:46:20.000 It's pretty good.
01:46:21.000 David says, Ian, give us a flex.
01:46:23.000 You look like you've made progress.
01:46:25.000 Thank you.
01:46:26.000 I gained about...
01:46:30.000 Uh, 15 pounds.
01:46:31.000 Wow!
01:46:32.000 I clocked 152.
01:46:34.000 152?!
01:46:34.000 Yeah.
01:46:35.000 I've been carrying weights around with me throughout the day.
01:46:38.000 Just a couple of 15 pound dumbbells and then this last weekend I ate for like 48 hours.
01:46:42.000 I just kept eating.
01:46:44.000 I went outside and Ian's sitting on the porch curling and I was just like, wow.
01:46:47.000 I took him with me over to Keith's house.
01:46:48.000 He looked at him and he was like, MAGA man.
01:46:51.000 He's got a MAGA hat on.
01:46:52.000 It feels so good.
01:46:52.000 Do you feel, like, more energy and everything?
01:46:55.000 Yeah, immediately.
01:46:55.000 The body, like, um, remembers.
01:46:57.000 Like, this morning I felt all groggy, but I started doing, um, just core exercise, and that soreness starts off sore, and then it starts to feel really good, and then it starts to wake things up.
01:47:07.000 Yeah.
01:47:08.000 In, like, six months Ian's gonna be massive.
01:47:09.000 He's gonna be like, yeah, I've just been lifting all day!
01:47:12.000 The new Libra King?
01:47:13.000 Yeah.
01:47:16.000 When we hit the organ meat phase, I'm gonna be really, uh, really interested to see where we go from there.
01:47:20.000 Yeah, bring Luke in.
01:47:21.000 He's all about that.
01:47:22.000 All right, Crazy Lemur says, Georgia is blue.
01:47:25.000 We tried to build low-income housing in Savannah, Georgia, and they said they won't approve our project because we are white.
01:47:30.000 The city council is corrupt, and we need an OMG undercover.
01:47:35.000 What's Seamus doing down there?
01:47:37.000 Just draw him cartoons, like he's going to contribute to society one of these days.
01:47:42.000 Cartoons.
01:47:43.000 Although I do say, I will say, his latest cartoon was really, really good.
01:47:47.000 I, of course, was the voice of Fauci.
01:47:49.000 And you should really check it out on Freedom Toons, because it's clever.
01:47:52.000 Basically, COVID is a comedian who doesn't want to be political anymore.
01:47:55.000 And everyone's like, huh?
01:47:57.000 And they're like, shocked by it.
01:47:58.000 And then he basically, COVID basically explains, you know, it was always like, ha ha, that unvaccinated maggot shud die, that's what he gets.
01:48:05.000 But then when it's a Democrat, it's like, ha ha, he got vaccinated, you know, X amount of times and then he still gets sick and then dies or whatever.
01:48:11.000 It's never just the virus that's killing people, it's always some political angle to it.
01:48:15.000 And then Fauci is basically like, what does he say?
01:48:19.000 He's like, did you forget who made you?
01:48:22.000 You should check it out, it's funny.
01:48:24.000 And then he threatens, threatens him.
01:48:26.000 There you go.
01:48:27.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.
01:48:31.000 Wilson Fields says, Riley Gaines will be speaking at West Virginia University this Thursday.
01:48:36.000 The event will be taking place at 7 p.m.
01:48:38.000 at the Mountain Lair on campus.
01:48:39.000 You do not need to be a student to attend.
01:48:42.000 I, of course, will be doing Timcast IRL on Thursday, and I will be here.
01:48:45.000 I wonder if Taylor's going to be there.
01:48:47.000 But, uh, yeah, I don't know.
01:48:48.000 West Virginia, where's, is that, but which, which campus, is that in Shepherdstown?
01:48:52.000 I think they're talking about Morgantown.
01:48:53.000 Morgantown?
01:48:54.000 Yeah.
01:48:54.000 Yeah, okay, that's really far away.
01:48:56.000 Yeah.
01:48:56.000 What is it, like, three, four hours?
01:48:58.000 Two and a half hours, three hour drive, maybe?
01:49:00.000 Well, a lot, if you're, uh, if you're watching, maybe you should go cover it.
01:49:02.000 I'm sure there's gonna be some type of protest, even at Morgan, you know, even at WVU.
01:49:08.000 Morgantown.
01:49:09.000 I'm always curious.
01:49:10.000 Just shy of three hours.
01:49:11.000 Yeah, I'm always curious to see what's happening on the college campuses, or at least, uh, nearby the college campuses, if they're not allowed on.
01:49:19.000 Ligama says, Mr. Hinkle, I have seen you described as a Marxist-Leninist and MAGA-Communist, among other things.
01:49:25.000 I have read your Twitter, and it's full of things suggestive of a rejection of classical liberalism.
01:49:29.000 I don't, however, want to put words in your mouth.
01:49:31.000 Care to comment?
01:49:32.000 True.
01:49:34.000 Which one?
01:49:34.000 MAGA-Communist?
01:49:35.000 Both.
01:49:37.000 Do you identify as communist?
01:49:38.000 Yes.
01:49:39.000 What is the value of communism?
01:49:42.000 Orienting government and the economy for the public good.
01:49:47.000 Yeah, but I think that's like an oversimplification.
01:49:52.000 Well, you said simply.
01:49:54.000 Simply, that's what it is.
01:49:56.000 I mean, I think that any communist state that takes form in America is going to have communist values, or American values rather.
01:50:06.000 It's going to be based on the history of our country, the constitution.
01:50:10.000 I think it would be a Christian communist state.
01:50:12.000 And I think that we can learn a lot from China and from the Soviet Union.
01:50:16.000 But you look at China today, Their economy is outpacing ours.
01:50:20.000 It's gonna beat ours totally probably within the next five to ten years.
01:50:24.000 You know, Europe is going down.
01:50:25.000 The US is going down.
01:50:27.000 China lifted 845 million people out of poverty in the last 40 years.
01:50:31.000 I think that we shouldn't be China, but I think we can learn things from China and the Soviet Union and other countries that have done it successfully.
01:50:39.000 Successfully.
01:50:41.000 Soviet Union didn't do it successfully.
01:50:43.000 They fell apart in 69 years.
01:50:45.000 But what did they do successfully?
01:50:47.000 They took their country from its knees, from dirt, from a feudal society, basically, to the economic powerhouse that defeated Nazi Germany.
01:50:55.000 The bloodiest, largest battle in all of human history.
01:50:58.000 Yeah, but we're already an economic powerhouse.
01:51:00.000 So how would communism benefit us?
01:51:02.000 Are we an economic powerhouse or are we this Byzantine labyrinth of insurance companies, law firms that utilizes Wall Street power, utilizing the dollar as a tool of financial pressure on the rest of the world?
01:51:17.000 Without the dollar, America is not nothing, but it's nowhere near as strong as it is today.
01:51:23.000 And when you see BRICS rising up, you see Russia, China, India, South Africa, Brazil, you see Saudi Arabia, the UAE, you see Iran, Egypt, seven of the top ten largest oil producing in the nations today, working to create a new global reserve currency that's going to challenge the dollar.
01:51:41.000 I mean, it's not the end of America, but it's not going to be pretty for us in the future.
01:51:46.000 You think that centrally planning an economy is a more effective strategy?
01:51:52.000 I think that every economy is planned.
01:51:55.000 This economy in the U.S.
01:51:56.000 is planned to enrich Wall Street, rich legacy families in our country.
01:52:00.000 It's built to enrich the largest monopoly capital powers that reside within the U.S.
01:52:09.000 I think China is a country that Plans the economy to lift people out of poverty in regions like Xinjiang and also focuses on giving people tax relief, helping them create new businesses, making sure that they have enough money to afford homes and healthcare and stuff like that.
01:52:25.000 I think America is a country that prioritizes every single interest of the ruling class over the interests of the working man.
01:52:32.000 That's why we have 60,000 homeless veterans, 600,000 homeless individuals.
01:52:36.000 We have a higher ratio of homeless in our country compared to any industrialized developed nation on the face of the earth.
01:52:43.000 What about property rights?
01:52:45.000 Would you suggest doing away with them?
01:52:47.000 I think that we should, I think we should just give property to the people.
01:52:51.000 Trump's talking about this new plan for America cities.
01:52:54.000 He's talking about 10 new cities across the United States.
01:52:56.000 We'd have, you know, top elite architects, architecture specialists throughout the country that submit plans to build new cities where people, young Americans with families are basically going to get the opportunity to buy land, buy homes for pennies on the dollar for super cheap.
01:53:15.000 And I think we should do that right now.
01:53:17.000 I mean, why is it that every American is governed by debt?
01:53:21.000 Every American is in debt when it comes to their home loans.
01:53:24.000 Every American's in debt when it comes to student loans.
01:53:27.000 Even medical debt is insane right now in the United States.
01:53:31.000 Why is it?
01:53:32.000 This is the last thing I'll say.
01:53:34.000 Everything about communism is about taking power away from the wealthy hordes, the Sacklers, the Rockefellers, the Bushes, all these families that are hoarding our wealth, our resources in America right now, and keeping it for themselves for who knows what.
01:53:50.000 Why is it that Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are allowed to buy up all the land in this country?
01:53:55.000 And no one questions that.
01:53:57.000 But the idea of giving every American enough land to get by and maybe have a small garden or a farm or something like that, that's insane and no one's allowed to talk about that.
01:54:06.000 And that's some communist conspiracy that no one's ever going to imagine ever taking shape here.
01:54:11.000 I think that's insane.
01:54:12.000 Well, compromise.
01:54:13.000 All of the land seized by the Bureau of Land Management, we break it apart and we give pieces of it to various American citizens.
01:54:22.000 I was going to say, this doesn't really sound like communism.
01:54:24.000 It almost sounds like just a form of socialism that you're describing, that you want the government to do more for the American people.
01:54:30.000 Because communism would be the government owns all the land.
01:54:32.000 We're not getting it.
01:54:33.000 Yeah.
01:54:34.000 Well, that's not the case in China.
01:54:36.000 China, they've given land to the people.
01:54:37.000 But what I think you can say... But they're a weird kind of like post-communist, like authoritative state.
01:54:42.000 Yeah, it's like land leases, right?
01:54:44.000 Yeah.
01:54:45.000 Well, China is 100% ML line.
01:54:48.000 I mean, you look at Mao, you look at Deng Xiaoping, you look at Xi Jinping, I mean, you read his books, Governance of China.
01:54:56.000 It's all an ML line.
01:54:58.000 It's 100% Marxist-Leninist.
01:55:00.000 And there's a lot of people who try to say, well, China's like semi-capitalist.
01:55:04.000 It's a capitalist communist state.
01:55:06.000 It's because they don't want to admit that communism is actually winning, whereas pure capitalism here, or corporate capitalism, whatever you want to call it, is failing beyond belief.
01:55:15.000 And the last thing I'll say is about government takeover.
01:55:19.000 I think that there should be government takeover, like what Russia is doing.
01:55:22.000 Russia has Gazprom.
01:55:24.000 They're utilizing the interests of the country, oil, natural gas, to benefit the public.
01:55:30.000 I mean, you look at some of the finest infrastructure that's been built in Russia, it's happening because of the revenue generated by their utilities.
01:55:41.000 We have utilities here that are only enriching these shareholders of these massive corporations that do nothing in the interest of the working man, and they actually indebt many Americans based upon how expensive basic utilities are.
01:55:54.000 Let's read some more Super Chats.
01:55:55.000 Heron Gaming News says, Tim, how much closer do you think we are to seeing people who voted for Trump being arrested?
01:56:01.000 I don't know, several weeks past?
01:56:03.000 I mean, two and a half years past?
01:56:06.000 How many people got arrested for being at the Capitol on January 6th but didn't actually go in the building?
01:56:10.000 How many people were just there at the rally, walked up the steps confused, didn't know what was going on, and are being criminally charged?
01:56:17.000 I think that qualifies for people who just voted for Trump.
01:56:19.000 We're not talking about someone who smashed a window and fought cops.
01:56:22.000 Yeah, I understand charges for those people.
01:56:23.000 Maybe two decades.
01:56:24.000 A little bit extreme.
01:56:25.000 But there are a lot of people who are, like, walking around confused, bumbling about, and they got criminally charged.
01:56:32.000 And they got two- even just two months is insane for someone who had no idea what was going on.
01:56:37.000 So, yeah.
01:56:38.000 That, I think, is already happening.
01:56:42.000 All right, Matt's Magic Emporium says, can I come on and play Tim in MTG?
01:56:46.000 Depends.
01:56:47.000 We can play multiplayer commander.
01:56:49.000 What do you think is good, four players?
01:56:51.000 Yeah.
01:56:52.000 Four is good for commander.
01:56:53.000 And maybe once we finally get the club up and running, which is just, everything just takes a million years.
01:56:59.000 Because my job day-to-day is doing this, and then everyone else is doing everything else.
01:57:03.000 So it's like, if I want to open a club where we can play cards and hang out, that's on the back burner.
01:57:08.000 Everybody's doing their specific job, and then, like, first thing that happens is the coffee shop.
01:57:12.000 It's getting delayed because we have to do remodeling, and there's permits, and historic society.
01:57:16.000 Once that's up and running, then we move to second floor.
01:57:19.000 Then we gotta install, like, handicap stuff.
01:57:21.000 Once that's done, we do third floor.
01:57:22.000 So, it'll be really cool to have, like, uh, uh... What would you call it?
01:57:26.000 Like a hobby shop?
01:57:27.000 We're gonna have, probably, trading cards.
01:57:31.000 Um, we'll see if we get poker legalized.
01:57:33.000 Got some really awesome stuff happening on that front.
01:57:36.000 We gotta figure out how to do poker properly.
01:57:38.000 I don't think... I don't know what the argument is to have it regulated at all.
01:57:43.000 Why shouldn't it just be if you want to play a game where you can put chips on the table, you can.
01:57:46.000 I don't understand what the point of any kind of regulation on it is, but we'll see what happens.
01:57:50.000 I'm talking with the government about how we move forward with that.
01:57:53.000 But then we're gonna have a skate shop, and it's gonna be a place you go to, you know, hang out, watch movies, and engage in fun hobbies.
01:57:59.000 Play music, maybe?
01:58:01.000 It'll be red.
01:58:02.000 And then, yes, we will have Commander.
01:58:05.000 And we'll have prizes.
01:58:06.000 Really awesome prizes.
01:58:09.000 We'll grab some more Super Chats.
01:58:12.000 Raymond G. Staley Jr.
01:58:13.000 says, Tim, did you see Biden walk out of the Medal of Honor ceremony?
01:58:16.000 It's becoming commonplace for politicians to disrespect the nation they represent.
01:58:20.000 Everyone, please run for any and all local offices.
01:58:22.000 Local offices are where it's at.
01:58:24.000 That's what you need to win.
01:58:26.000 Yep.
01:58:28.000 What do we got?
01:58:29.000 Jason Hutchinson says, it's not stealing land.
01:58:31.000 You can never own what you can't defend.
01:58:34.000 Yeah.
01:58:35.000 I think when you look at the arguments, if you look at movies like Harry Potter, and we're talking about doing these, you know, alternate views, Harry Potter, Voldemort's a one-dimensional villain they never quite explain.
01:58:45.000 He's just a supremacist who is evil for no reason.
01:58:49.000 He's just like an arrogant, creepy guy.
01:58:51.000 It's like, okay, well like- They gave him like a tragic backstory.
01:58:53.000 Sort of.
01:58:54.000 He was an orphan, and he was a sociopath.
01:58:56.000 Mm-hmm.
01:58:57.000 And his mom, like, conned someone into falling in love with her, so he's up from this, like, terrible family.
01:59:01.000 But there's no logical rhyme or reason described as to what he's doing and why, other than he's just a supremacist.
01:59:07.000 But that is horribly one-dimensional.
01:59:10.000 Look at modern reality, and actually look to a white supremacist.
01:59:14.000 They will tell you a whole bunch of stuff about why they believe what they believe.
01:59:18.000 They should have gone into that with Voldemort.
01:59:19.000 J.K.
01:59:20.000 Rowling should have had Voldemort and, like the Death Eaters, explain exactly what it is they don't like about people of, you know, mixed wizarding families or whatever.
01:59:28.000 Instead, it was very, very one-dimensional.
01:59:30.000 Imagine if... Imagine Harry Potter from the perspective of the right.
01:59:34.000 We know the left says, everyone's a Nazi, everyone's a supremacist.
01:59:37.000 Imagine what Harry Potter would look like if you inverted it based on the culture war today.
01:59:41.000 Voldemort is actually just like, we shouldn't be allowing people, you know, through our borders when, you know, we can't maintain this economically, things like that.
01:59:50.000 It would be, it would be about national sovereignty, and it would be about economics, and it would be about fighting for the people of his country.
01:59:58.000 It's not about whether or not you have magic or don't, it's about are you paying taxes to this government, blah blah blah blah blah.
02:00:05.000 Wizarding taxes, and those that marry the non-wizards don't have to pay.
02:00:10.000 Or, but like, it's fine that Voldemort's a supremacist.
02:00:13.000 You can totally go with that line.
02:00:14.000 He's basically Magic Hitler, but just, they should have, like, she needs to elaborate on, like, what it is they really wanted, and it was, you know, overly simplistic.
02:00:23.000 Not to mention, the Great Wizarding War, it was a civil war.
02:00:26.000 It was not, it was, it was kind of like a political uprising within their country.
02:00:30.000 We know that in Harry Potter Universe, there's a bunch of other countries at different schools.
02:00:33.000 They weren't fighting the war.
02:00:34.000 So come on!
02:00:35.000 Do better!
02:00:36.000 Anyway, what were we talking about?
02:00:37.000 Harry Potter or something?
02:00:39.000 Alright.
02:00:41.000 Because the reason I brought that up is we were talking about Avatar and what land you could own or whatever.
02:00:45.000 All right, everybody.
02:00:47.000 Let's see.
02:00:48.000 Austin Fairbank says, Tim, since you're so obsessed with the modern-day American Civil War, you should give The Darkest Path book by Jeff Hirsch a read or listen.
02:00:55.000 It has an interesting take on a very plausible future.
02:00:58.000 Right on.

02:01:27.000 And any Twitter or anything else you want to shout out?
02:01:29.000 Well, Twitter, Elon doesn't like me, so I'm not shouting that out.
02:01:32.000 Fine.
02:01:33.000 Fair enough.

02:01:55.000 He's the worst, but you get to see me break off to cover some breaking news.
02:02:00.000 He is the worst.
02:02:01.000 He is the worst.
02:02:03.000 I'm glad he's gone.

02:02:09.000 Ian Crossland.
02:02:10.000 Follow me on the internet at Ian Crossland and Jackson.
02:02:12.000 Cool talking to you, man.
02:02:13.000 Especially, we barely got into the communist stuff.
02:02:15.000 I like talking to people with different political ideologies.
02:02:17.000 I don't know a lot of people that self-identify as communists.
02:02:19.000 I like talking especially with you guys, because usually people just soy out, but Tim's like, well compromise, let's do this.
02:02:27.000 And with the Twitter nationalization conversation too.
02:02:31.000 We have to work through the logic of what the idea is, not just...
02:02:34.000 Yeah, because I thought, as you were talking, like, oh, I see the goal that you're looking at.
02:02:38.000 I have a similar goal that I'm aiming at, and the methodologies that we use may end up being different.
02:02:42.000 I think people hear the label and they freak out.
02:02:44.000 Well, maybe we go deeper into it at a future date.
02:02:44.000 They don't ask the questions.
02:02:47.000 Good conversation, man.
02:02:48.000 Maybe we could do a culture war and get a bunch of...
02:02:50.000 Different politics involved.
02:02:52.000 See you later.
02:02:53.000 You took the words right out of my mouth, Ian.
02:02:54.000 Maybe we can get, like, Phil Labonte on here next time, because he's, like, the libertarian guy around here.
02:02:59.000 It'd be really interesting to hear that conversation.
02:03:02.000 You guys can follow me at kellenpdl.
02:03:03.000 I'm mainly active on X. But yeah, follow me there.
02:03:06.000 Thanks, guys.
02:03:07.000 We will see all of you over at timcast.com in a few minutes for The Uncensored Show.
