On today's show, we discuss a man who was shot and killed in a standoff with police in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Finally, we talk about the Keto Elevate MCT oil powder and how it's helping me lose weight.
00:00:59.000They're saying in the direction of FBI agents, so it's hard to know exactly how it all went down, but we know that after an alarm was set off, he fled.
00:01:09.000Ended up in a cornfield where he was opening fire on police The breaking news now is this man is dead He was shot and killed after about a five-hour standoff now.
00:01:21.000This man's name is being reported I'm not here to shout his name out but we'll get into the story because apparently he was on truth social and he made a bunch of posts talking about why he did what he did and And if this is the correct person who's posting on Truth Social, it was about the FBI raid on Donald Trump.

00:03:57.000And I'm like, yeah, I've been losing weight.
00:03:58.000So we gotta re-record our close-out clip for the clips on this channel, because the keto stuff's really been working.

00:04:49.000I think our timeline is... the rough is two and a half months from today.
00:04:53.000Maybe it'll end up being a little bit longer, but I'm really excited for this gun control documentary.
00:04:57.000So don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.
00:05:01.000Joining us today to talk about all of these issues is Bethany Mendel.
00:06:02.000If they're going to claim USA Today, which admitted to fabricating 23 sources and their stories, is more responsible than we are when we've had one article out of 4,000 that required a correction, that they noticed.
00:06:14.000We issue corrections all the time when we make mistakes.
00:06:17.000But they're like, we noticed one article, so you're irresponsible.
00:07:33.000Schifrin attempted to break into the office, prompting a five-hour standoff with authorities.
00:07:38.000The body armor-wearing suspect fled the office and was chased onto the highway before abandoning his car by a cornfield on a country road just off of Interstate 71.
00:07:49.000The confrontation came as officials warned of an increase in threats against federal agents in the days following a search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
00:08:00.000Investigators say Schiffer was also at the U.S.
00:08:02.000Capitol during the January 6th insurrection, they report.
00:08:07.000All right, well, they reported this stuff.
00:08:09.000I'm gonna pull up some tweets that we have.
00:08:11.000Travis View says, The New York Times identified the Ohio shooting suspect as Ricky Schiffer.
00:08:16.000There is a truth social account using that name.
00:08:19.000On the same day, the FBI executed a warrant on Mar-a-Lago.
00:08:22.000The account made a call to be ready for combat and, I'm not going to read what he said next, but he called for extreme violence.
00:08:29.000In the end, one of the last things he said was that, yeah, I don't think we should read exactly what he said, but he explained that he thought he had a way to get through bulletproof glass.
00:08:42.000But this could explain why it was reported that he fired a nail gun at the FBI.
00:08:47.000Now, I read on NBC he fired at the agents, but perhaps they said towards them instead of at was because there was bulletproof glass he was not able to penetrate.
00:08:55.000But apparently this Ricky Schiffer guy on Truth Social was saying that he did it, and if you don't hear for him, it's because they got him or something to that effect.
00:09:02.000So I guess my view on things, obviously, George Conway, all right?
00:09:10.000I'm going to make sure I cite George Conway on this one.
00:10:13.000He crossed the Rubicon with his troops, took the city, and they called it forever known as the crossing of the Rubicon is when you've taken that step, the one step too far.
00:10:23.000And that was the start of the Civil War.
00:10:26.000That was basically the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Empire.
00:10:30.000So there was this leftist outlet that they were like, the far right is saying this, that, or otherwise, or something like that.
00:10:36.000And they said, Tim Poole said they crossed the Rubicon.
00:10:48.000And first and foremost, obviously, let me just say one thing.
00:10:52.000This dude who went to the FBI field office must have really wanted Democrats to win.
00:10:57.000Because I mean, we're months out from the midterm election.
00:11:00.000And Surprisingly, he did exactly what the Democrats needed.
00:11:05.000He got violent, failed, and now the Democrats have their example of what's wrong with the right.
00:11:10.000That's why the craziest thing to me is like now is the absolute worst time for anything like that, and this is why I say violence doesn't work.
00:11:18.000We are months away from Republicans taking the House and the Senate in what the Misery Index predicts will be a crushing defeat.
00:11:26.000Except now, in the past few months, Democrats have evened out in the polling.
00:12:30.000And even if it turns out that this is the guy, I don't think blaming a political party or a movement or any of that makes any sense because this guy just went up the rails.
00:15:20.000Oh, I was gonna say is that to me this warrant, you know, we've heard the story that there was a room that had a padlock on it that had the documents that they're requesting.
00:15:29.000When you write a warrant you have to be specific about what you're asking for.
00:15:32.000So theoretically Garland signed off on a warrant that said we want complete and unfettered access and we want the right to not announce because we think that they'll hide stuff.
00:15:41.000That, to me, indicates that it's a grab.
00:15:45.000They want to get as much stuff as possible and then maybe justify it later when they're like, oh, but look what we found when we showed up there.
00:15:51.000In Melania's closet, there were all these secret things that we knew about.
00:16:02.000And this states that if your rights are violated and evidence is found, that evidence is inadmissible in court, So there was one story I remember reading about back in Illinois of a guy who had, they thought he was a murderer.
00:16:14.000And so a cop ran his plates, pulled him over, and then while he said get out of the car, illegally searches the car, finds evidence.
00:16:27.000You cannot use evidence seized in violation of someone's rights.
00:16:31.000With this, you get a warrant for something like classified documents.
00:16:35.000Then, once you're inside, if you have a warrant, and you enter a home looking for, say, classified documents, and you find pills and a gun, That's a bold claim.
00:16:43.000missable. So anything they found in the house, perhaps this was a fishing expedition and
00:16:48.000or Trump suggesting they're planting evidence. That's a bold claim.
00:16:51.000Yeah, that's the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about this story. What
00:16:54.000if they play like how can you confirm or deny if they did that?
00:16:57.000I mean, I wouldn't put it past them. I was gonna say, I think of all there's like been
00:17:01.000over 100 subpoenas that have been issued through the January 6th subcommittee.
00:17:06.000When you subpoena people's documents records you can ask broadly for tons and tons of stuff.
00:17:10.000They aren't being specific in what they want and that to me shows that they are kind of grasping at straws.
00:17:17.000Like they are wanting you to turn over stuff so they can figure out later what you did wrong.
00:17:22.000Is this the kind of thing where they can fabricate a warrant after the fact and make it look like they had it back in the day?
00:17:28.000No, we know this guy, this Epstein-linked judge signed off on it.
00:17:33.000And so a lot of people are asking questions about this, but a lot of people are bringing up now that they think this is a false flag right before the midterms for an October surprise or for this to be weaponized to help Democrats.
00:17:45.000Look, I gotta say, show me the evidence.
00:17:48.000I mean, I certainly understand the possibilities, but show me the evidence.
00:17:51.000Considering what happened with Ray Epps, I'm more inclined to believe there's malfeasance going on at the highest level.
00:17:56.000This is a guy who went out on January 5th and 6th telling people to go in, and they're just like, oh, this poor man is a victim.
00:18:03.000That's what the New York Times is writing about.
00:19:09.000I mean, the last two years have really shown me a lot of facets of human nature that I was just maybe in denial about, but people are sheep.
00:19:20.000They just kneel at the face of power and all common sense goes out the window.
00:19:25.000There's a lot of things in history that don't make sense.
00:19:29.000We're only a couple months away from a very, very serious election.
00:19:34.000You've got people saying, you know, let Trump's second term begin January 3rd, or whatever, 2023, or whatever they do the swearing in.
00:20:12.000The false flag narrative stuff, the reason I don't like it, as much as we've talked about Gulf of Tonkin numerous times, I understand the possibilities.
00:20:18.000I know all about Operation Northwoods and this crazy stuff that they've done in the past.
00:20:42.000Now we need to start from there and then see where we go, not decide where we want to be and then try and build our way up to it by, you know, by pointing out other things throughout history.
00:20:51.000Yeah, I mean, I am curious to see sort of how it plays out, but I imagine that they're going to try to paint him.
00:20:59.000There was another sort of recent incident where, you know, it came out like, oh, this guy follows Ben Shapiro and he was radicalized by Ben Shapiro.
00:21:05.000Like, yeah, yeah, the nerdy Orthodox Jew from L.A., that was definitely who radicalized that shooter.
00:21:12.000But I mean, they're going to ride this into the sunset, just like they have January 6th.
00:21:17.000But I think they blame radicalization on the introduction of any information that they don't agree with, right?
00:21:22.000So it's not that Ben Shapiro himself is like waving some crazy symbols and acting erratic, it's that he opens the door to a line of thought and a line of questioning that ultimately they would argue is always corrupt and always violent, which I don't think is ultimately Something is happening in this country with the rise of parallel economy, alternate payment processor system, censorship resistance, resistant, we use them, rumble, what you've got growing in Florida with not just the technology infrastructure but with, you know, Ron DeSantis, his worldview, what Florida's been doing in general in terms of governing.
00:22:00.000Something is amassing in this country that's starting to stop the insanity, stop the cult.
00:22:06.000Now I'm not saying it's a guarantee, you know, it's gonna, it's gonna, you know, it's gonna, wokeness is gonna be crushed or anything like that.
00:22:14.000But we're seeing a steady path, a light at the end of the tunnel where we are going to be reaching a good place.
00:22:21.000For something like this to happen completely undermines the opportunity for success.
00:22:26.000So it does make you wonder, why would anyone on the right staring down the barrel of a midterm election be like, I know, here's what's going to help?
00:23:06.000Yeah, a lot of times our high school classmates are like, yeah, that was the guy that beat puppies.
00:23:11.000Yeah and I think what happens now is that the the powers that be that want him to be representational of every MAGA supporter out there are gonna work really hard to say like he is just like that guy down the street from you who has a Trump 2024 sign you know they're gonna work really hard to make this We don't know anything about that.
00:23:40.000We don't know anything about him because he disappeared, but there was a point where people were saying like, hey, I think he is a registered Democrat, and then suddenly he disappeared.
00:23:50.000There's nothing I can do to fact check it.
00:23:52.000My point is just that ultimately we know that there are people who, whether it be for mental reasons or whatever else, pick extremist behavior, but that's not actually, number one, helpful to the political party that they're going to link him to, and it's not actually representational to most voters on either side.
00:24:09.000Yeah, guilt by association isn't real.
00:25:14.000And he spent a lot of money for his freedom with, for a very, very, very good lawyer who was like, I'm gonna bring this to trial because he has nothing to lose and y'all might not want this all to be out there.
00:25:28.000And his lawyer got him an amazing deal and he got out like a year later because the lawyer basically put him put the feds on the spot and were like he was 17 and an orphan like do you want to go into like how you entrapped him and then how you like the whole thing and Yeah.
00:25:45.000That was, for me, someone who was very back the blue.
00:25:49.000I never really knew that side of the FBI before.
00:25:53.000To hear his story, someone who I trusted implicitly, and see how it all went down up close was like, oh, they bad.
00:26:53.000There's confidential and top-secret information.
00:26:54.000So of course the official story is omitting information, lacking information, and probably obfuscating information.
00:26:59.000So it's crazy to me when, for one, there's obviously a lot of the conspiracy theorists who believe... I think they take leaps of faith to believe things they want to believe.
00:27:08.000But then also the people come out and say like, I will blindly believe whatever the government says.
00:27:12.000And then I'm like, dude, even that would require you to say the government was not honest about what happened.
00:27:18.000Because if you like, let's say it again.
00:27:21.000The United States government did not come out on 9-11 and say, here's a roadmap to how our security was undermined, and please, you know, can you read that?
00:27:28.000No, they were like, okay, we better not let people know that happened right there, because that's how they got us.
00:27:33.000So they're not gonna release all the information.
00:27:35.000But, you know, that being said, it's hard to know when secrets are kept from the American people, and then we're supposed to make decisions on who we vote for without complete information.
00:27:44.000And then you have the media organizations that intentionally obfuscate and manipulate Dark days indeed, I'll put it that way.
00:27:52.000It seems like there's a defense of the liberal economic order right now by American military and sub-military like FBI and CIA that they don't want it to get broken up.
00:28:03.000They want to make sure that we, the United States, we have like a police, not a police state, but like control of the earth.
00:28:35.000They just, I think they overhype Russia when China is a much bigger threat.
00:28:39.000But the fact is, we've got two distinct cultures in this country and they're headed for chaos.
00:28:46.000Yeah, I was going to say, maybe a lot of people want stability, but what they view as stable is not the same thing.
00:28:51.000There's such a division in how people ascribe their values and what they would describe as their ideal stable life, right?
00:28:58.000There are people who are Incompatible in a lot of ways in this country.
00:29:02.000Obviously, I don't think that's a call for like extremist violence or anything like that.
00:29:05.000But like you have to recognize that stability is almost impossible when you have people who need your life to be different and you see that as unstable.
00:29:39.000In today's radar, I argue that the left should take advantage of the right's new acknowledgment of systemic bias and push to abolish the FBI, an institution that has always protected elite power, not the people.
00:30:16.000This is an appreciation and understanding that the FBI, at least, is— Maybe Brianna Joy Gray and the left perspective on this is, we need to tear down the system to rebuild a new one.
00:32:10.000Was that his name? I don't know the NASCAR NASCAR driver said there was a noose in his garage
00:32:15.000And so they sent a dozen agents and what do they find it was a garage pull rope. It was the door pull rope
00:32:19.000It's in Wallace bubble. Yeah, it's insane and then what they go and and Merrick Garland signs off on
00:32:25.000raiding the former president's home and And we're sitting here being like, let's contemplate whether they're an organization worth funding.
00:32:44.000Or maybe, maybe we can start by reducing through a moderate defunding and reduction of the FBI force.
00:32:52.000I mean, I think the FBI, there's two problems.
00:32:53.000One of them is, it's the problem of every government institution.
00:32:58.000It's just bureaucratic bloat and stupid people get promoted and your expertise and your… it's not a meritocracy is basically what I'm saying.
00:33:10.000But I think that in the last five years, one of the things that has become extremely apparent is that the people who are in charge, like the grown-ups in charge, I always thought that there was grown-ups in charge.
00:33:40.000I don't know him personally, but I've been seeing his tweets and I think he's isolated.
00:33:43.000There seems to be like a bubble that some of these people are existing in right now, that they think it's really what life is about, is about red and blue Democrat-Republican thing.
00:33:52.000But that's like an infinitesimally small part of reality.
00:33:55.000This human thing is not that big a part of reality.
00:33:58.000We need to really kind of get outside of our own butthole, if you know what I'm talking about.
00:34:02.000And look out, bubble up, look outside, but that's what I said, bubble.
00:34:07.000Uh, we need to, we need to de-investigate ourselves for a moment and look around at the universe because things are flying around at a hundred million miles per hour.
00:36:07.000I mean, the people who go to the White House press conference, I'm just, do you really think any White House press secretary at any point ever is gonna tell you the truth?
00:36:20.000I'm sorry if you believe that, I got a bridge to sell you.
00:36:25.000I mean, the thing is, the government trades in strategically releasing information, so why would that be true in foreign policy and not true in our Like, why would we be like, oh, yes, American people, I'm taking myself, I'm going to be on national TV and I'm going to tell you the truth, but don't tell anyone else because that'll reveal our big plan.
00:36:46.000Like, we can't reasonably expect our government to be honest with us.
00:36:52.000And also be openly telling everyone, all of our adversaries, what's truly going on with us.
00:37:50.000They're like, well, she checks the LBGTQ and she checks the woman and she checks, but they didn't actually like have a check mark for... Charisma?
00:38:32.000I mean, I think that's actually a skill of, like, Pete Buttigieg, because he, like, was in middle America and had to actually talk to people with whom he disagreed.
00:38:58.000I mean, it's nice to have notes, but you don't need to look at them if you know, if you just glance down and then talk about what you know, you know, I mean, I'm here with the formula stuff.
00:39:44.000I mean, you have to get a journalist to a president to then put a paper out that would then, like, by the time it reached anyone, be like three weeks old.
00:39:50.000And I mean, radio and TV is the reason why Hitler was able to mass the population so fast.
00:39:57.000I understand why there's censorship and why the CIA is involved with, you know, the PRISM thing and they want to Oversee and make sure, but like, we should talk more about the power of TV and video, I think.
00:40:10.000TV was more powerful than social media.
00:40:12.000With TV, you had five channels starting with three channels and five.
00:40:17.000So all of the messaging was distilled through the trusted names in news or whatever.
00:40:21.000Then the internet happened and you can reach people faster, but now you've got too many channels and they're all just... All these poles busted on the dam and trying to plug them.
00:40:30.000Like, oh, we have conventional fingers.
00:40:32.000We don't know how to plug all these at once.
00:40:48.000But TikTok is especially talented at it.
00:40:50.000There was the Wall Street Journal story about young teenagers, 13-14 years old, and they lingered on one pornographic video and then they were just inundated with more and more pornographic content.
00:41:02.000That sounds like they're not better at it.
00:41:04.000No, they're very good at it because they got the kids hooked on the app.
00:41:08.000And it was because if you lingered 0.3 seconds longer.
00:41:11.000It's like every second on TikTok is more valuable to them, partially because the media is so short, which keeps you scrolling faster, whereas like YouTube, you may have to watch, you know, you watch one video, it might feed you another.
00:41:22.000You watch 10 videos, it'll feed you a lot more.
00:41:24.000Right, but I mean, these videos are over an hour, like you really have to invest some time, but you can have like total ADD on TikTok.
00:41:30.000On YouTube, I've noticed if I go to a video and I watch it for like half the length of the video or more, that it starts to hit
00:42:08.000No, I mean, it's better than dying children and I hate Meghan Markle, so I'm all in.
00:42:12.000I'm saturated with cats and it creates a compounding effect where I watch more cat videos because they're giving me more to look at and then I get even more and now it's all cats when I go through my stories.
00:42:21.000Instagram decided I was like a young Mormon bride because I was really interested in national parks.
00:42:27.000So I click on a lot of like photography in Zion National Parks and then it was like but you know who takes pictures in Zion National Parks?
00:42:48.000I really want to see Zion National Park, and I don't know if I'm willing to commit to Mormon Church.
00:42:51.000Did you linger on the Mormon videos, and then they were like, she's definitely a Mormon?
00:42:55.000I think it was like, here are photographers active in this area and then because Utah is an LDS you know stronghold it's like well here are people who are hiring photographers and then it was like well here are the mommy bloggers and i was like oh look at those kids and then it kept going and eventually i was like this is creepy i don't like it at all i know i love it i that's that's my jam i mean it's better than the dead kids that's for sure the algorithm you love or
00:43:18.000Well, no, that algorithm, because I get that algorithm too.
00:43:20.000I get all the, like, moms of... It's funny because I get all of the, like, big family people on Instagram because I follow a couple of them and then it sort of compounds.
00:44:21.000Like the new movies that are coming out.
00:44:23.000And then there's like a lot of music stuff.
00:44:25.000But it's usually just like a guy... I don't scoot, but they sent me a video of a guy doing a triple flare on a scooter and I just couldn't stop watching it.
00:44:31.000It was like the craziest thing I've ever seen.
00:44:38.000It's like... So a flare is like a backflip 180.
00:44:41.000So a triple is like three backflips in a 180.
00:44:44.000I'm just sitting there on the toilet and I'm like...
00:44:47.000When I started doing pop culture crisis I would occasionally look up like people who were involved in the stories on my phone and so then for a while it was sending me lots of like e-news and then it would send you like people who like do their own content about following various celebrities and I have never been so informed in my life.
00:45:05.000You know what the worst thing about Instagram now is?
00:45:09.000When you're scrolling through your feed, you get accounts you don't follow.
00:45:46.000They once advertised to me, so my older son had food allergies when he was younger.
00:45:51.000I once got a targeted ad for yarmulkes, because we're Orthodox Jewish.
00:45:59.000Kid yarmulkes for kids who are not really talking yet with allergy information listed on the yarmulke.
00:46:06.000I was like, you hit so many data points there that were Orthodox Jews with a young son with food allergies who is too young to verbalize them yet.
00:46:17.000It lined it up and it was like, we know what you'll buy.
00:46:21.000I won't buy anything off the Instagram.
00:46:23.000It serves me stuff I like, but sometimes I feel like I can't help it.
00:46:27.000I want to feed it because it's my personal shopper.
00:46:37.000You're being controlled by the machine.
00:46:38.000Because I think my mind is strong enough.
00:46:40.000I think that I'm able to tend information without believing it or disbelieving it enough that I could exist within the algorithm and function wrong peacefully.
00:48:05.000But you're, you know, I think for younger people, they're being inundated with very specific things.
00:48:11.000But is it like do people get their news from Instagram?
00:48:14.000Yeah I think they do and I think for especially some young people they'll follow like uh meme accounts on Instagram that'll be not political memes like silly like uh what it's like when you're 20 right and like then those accounts start to promote you know maybe they really believe them but maybe you know just part of the cultural narrative they know certain things will get more likes and so they start incorporating certain content that's more pro certain issues especially I saw this a lot after um Robbie Wade was um overturned and I had People jump on that bandwagon like there was no tomorrow.
00:48:45.000People who are not particularly political and maybe this is an important issue to them and they just don't vocalize it.
00:48:49.000I grant that some people are like that, but a lot of accounts picked up on the fact that it was correct to, you know, lifestyle kind of content.
00:48:58.000I think that that would have happened even without social media though.
00:49:00.000I think that your... I think social media reinforces it because people who don't seek out political information are served it anyways through this backdoor channel of like, look at these cute jeans I got!
00:49:10.000Also... There was interesting sort of Stuff that was leaked from marketing firms after Roe, I mean Dobbs, that a lot of brands were told like, don't touch it, that they went all in on Black Lives Matter.
00:49:24.000And so I know people who are like pretty big influencers on Instagram, and they got questions like, why didn't you post a black box?
00:49:31.000Where was your black box during Black Lives Matter?
00:49:34.000And I feel like the corporate pressure was not the same with Dobbs.
00:49:40.000I think because Dobbs is more complicated and they knew it from the beginning whereas with the black box thing it was like a you must submit I mean remember the culture that's run in some ways the leak of the Roe decision that came out like ahead of time I think was trying to build the same tension that we had during the summer of rioting after George Floyd's death.
00:50:03.000It sets the circumstances very differently.
00:50:40.000No, no, no, but the point is, like, who cares about what Twitter has to say about why they're going to be censoring and controlling the flow of information?
00:50:46.000I'd like to hear a little bit about it.
00:50:48.000The Civic Integrity Policy covers the most common types of harmful misleading information about elections and civic events, such as claims about how to participate in civic process, like how to vote, misleading content intended to intimidate or dissuade people from participating in the election, and misleading claims intended to undermine public confidence in an election.
00:51:36.000And so he tweeted, he retweeted the CDC's guidance about the kids vaccine between six months and five years old, saying like, absolutely get, you know, these young children vaccinated.
00:51:47.000And Polymath retweeted it and said, fire these people.
00:51:50.000This is unspeakable stupidity on the part of the CDC.
00:51:53.000That agency should be burned to the ground.
00:52:03.000They don't call it a call to violence.
00:52:05.000But if you look at the numbers of people who have had their young children vaccinated for COVID between six months and five years of age, I wrote about this for Deseret like two weeks ago, the numbers are like 3% right now.
00:52:18.000So, when I see a misleading tag on Polymath's opinion about the CDC's statement, it makes me be like, oh there is something up there.
00:52:29.000Yeah, because I see that and I think like, why are they gatekeeping like that?
00:52:33.000But I think a lot of this is just failed, it's, what's the right word, what's the politically correct word of saying your brain doesn't work?
00:52:41.000The people at Twitter are really dumb, and there are people at Twitter that are really evil, and then you have the government trying to get Twitter to censor people, which we've heard over and over and over again now.
00:52:52.000So what happens is they're like, hey, let's implement a policy.
00:52:56.000There have been several instances where people's tweets have been flagged, and the fact check is totally unrelated.
00:53:02.000And it's like this really weird thing, like, huh?
00:53:04.000There have been several instances where guidance has changed, and they've been like, hey, the CDC is like, we're revising our guidance, and then Twitter flags it as fake news.
00:53:12.000Here's what the CDC says, and then links to like an article from the year before.
00:53:15.000There was a famous incident on Facebook, where the, I think it was the CDC's own website was labeled fake news.
00:53:28.000They don't have up-to-date information.
00:53:30.000And so if someone's like, I got breaking news, the CDC says X, they'll delete you and say that was fake news and you're banned because our official fact checkers have not yet.
00:53:39.000So when they talk about getting involved in the election, at what point do we as a society do something about the interference and manipulation of our elections?
00:53:52.000The problem is there's no mechanism for solving this, and there's no political process for solving it.
00:54:52.000Better could mean generates more revenue, which means worse because now it's more algorithmic manipulation, making people click and get, you know, brainwashed.
00:55:01.000Better could mean more manipulation of the masses to get them to vote for who I want them to vote for.
00:55:07.000But I think better, uh, you know, I kind of think, uh, what do you, allotropically, I think that's not the right word, but I think like, you know, the betterment of the whole of, uh, the community, like, I don't want less constriction on who's controlling it, but I guess, I don't know, I'm not in the military.
00:55:26.000The military commander would tell you that you want to do the opposite with it, probably.
00:55:31.000That's the only reason you're not in the military.
00:55:32.000Yeah, I don't want to control people, but I mean, that's the military's job.
00:55:36.000But I think it's nice to believe that people would want to rally around common good and the betterment of other people.
00:55:43.000That's honorable and that's moral in a lot of ways.
00:55:46.000Why would Twitter, and I don't know a ton about freeing the code for sure, but like, why would freeing the code motivate people who are already... It wouldn't.
00:55:56.000Okay, so, Twitter has a history of wanting to manipulate people and control the worldview.
00:56:01.000Why would freeing the code suddenly change their mind?
00:56:03.000Why would they suddenly, if someone else made something that was similar but more moral, why would they be like, that's a good idea, we should do that too?
00:57:13.000Because they're allowed to talk about the CDC- But it's not happening, okay?
00:57:16.000Well, they haven't freed the code yet, that's what I'm saying.
00:57:18.000No, this is my- Let me at least state my claim here so you can argue it.
00:57:21.000You say your claim all the time, and the issue- Hannah Clare asked me the question, I want to answer it.
00:57:26.000So, then you- You make it so you can still see the people on Twitter from the new site, so you're not actually leaving.
00:57:33.000You're just expanding the process and you're creating a marketplace of the terms of service, essentially, instead of a marketplace of who owns the code.
00:58:16.000And so there's literally, there is no mechanism we have today other than like, all of the people of this country agree it's bad, so we pass a law saying ban Twitter.
00:59:07.000So Alex, if he got banned off Twitter, he could go on the new version and still see all the people on Twitter from his new version, and he wouldn't be banned off the new version.
00:59:13.000Why would their database be granted to you?
00:59:16.000Why would you get access to their database?
00:59:47.000So that's what I want to know, though.
00:59:49.000We don't know for sure, and I want to know.
00:59:50.000And we'd love it if Alex Berenson could tell everybody.
00:59:53.000And that's why people are really mad at him.
00:59:55.000Because the story goes and you know, I don't want to put words in his mouth or the mouth of his followers
01:00:00.000But what people are saying on Twitter in response to him is that he promised when he got to discovery
01:00:05.000He would expose what was going on instead. He settled with Twitter got his account back and then said sorry. Oh, that's
01:00:12.000yucky So people are like, you know, he said, in the future, there will be more to talk about in terms of government involvement and censorship and things like that.
01:00:21.000We heard from Naomi Wolf, she said that the CDC was going after specifically- She was kicked off, right?
01:00:27.000And so she was saying that it's... We've seen this before.
01:00:34.000Judicial Watch uncovered documents, I believe it was Judicial Watch, that Democrats were going to these big tech companies saying, ban these people.
01:00:43.000So it's very... At this point, I would say we're at probable cause or beyond.
01:00:47.000We have actual instances of evidence where the government is using third parties to violate people's First Amendment rights, but they're doing it circuitously.
01:00:55.000So this was the lawsuit that was just filed by a whole bunch of the healthcare people.
01:00:59.000I don't know a lot about it, but it was the, I think it was Jay out in San Francisco?
01:01:11.000Dr. Jay, and I can't say his last name.
01:01:13.000B. I'm so glad when people don't know things that I don't know.
01:01:18.000I'm so spaced out right now, I'm sorry.
01:01:20.000No, so there's a lawsuit that was just filed, and it's funny, I actually just did a radio hit about it, and the host did the worst thing in the world to me.
01:01:32.000You have to do the... and so I kind of like I muddled through it as best I could, but there was a lawsuit filed by a whole bunch of healthcare people about the fact that the CDC and the government worked in conjunction with the social media companies to silence them.
01:01:50.000Which is a violation of the First Amendment.
01:01:53.000The government does not have the right to go to companies and say, ban these people, don't let them speak.
01:01:58.000Now the issue is, as always, it's cultural.
01:02:02.000Cultural enforcement is more powerful than law enforcement, and cultural drives are more powerful than any platform could be.
01:02:08.000You can spin up as many platforms as you want, from TruthSocial, to Gab, to Parler, to Getter, etc., etc., and people don't use them.
01:02:19.000Why didn't Alex Berenson just go on TruthSocial and talk to those people?
01:02:22.000Why didn't he just go on Gab and talk to those people?
01:02:24.000He wanted to be on Twitter, so he sued to be on Twitter, he accepted being on Twitter, and then he didn't give the people what they asked for, because being on Twitter was more important to him, because people are on Twitter.
01:02:35.000Yeah, it's the people, it's not the platform.
01:02:37.000Can I correct myself now that I've Googled it?
01:02:55.000He filed a federal lawsuit against Facebook and Twitter and Joe Biden and the Surgeon General for violating his First Amendment rights to free speech.
01:03:03.000He claims that the federal government colluded with social media companies to monitor, flag, suspend, and even delete social media posts that they claimed contained misinformation.
01:03:12.000He's being represented by Liberty Justice Center.
01:03:17.000I didn't know that you were doing that.
01:03:18.000I will say there have been many circumstances where big tech has been sued, and I am flabbergasted by the weak arguments made in such strong cases.
01:03:27.000So, uh, there's just been a handful that, uh, I don't want to call anybody out specifically to impugn their honor, but there have been very, very strong cases where you're like, wow, look at the details of this case.
01:03:38.000Clearly the government said, ban this person.
01:03:41.000And then when they file a lawsuit, they don't mention anything about like, they don't go, they don't go after the government.
01:03:46.000They don't include them as part of the lawsuit.
01:03:48.000They don't even bring up the strong elements of the case as arguments.
01:03:51.000They just say something like our contract was breached.
01:03:56.000Because I've talked to dozens of lawyers about various issues, and, you know, to put it simply, I'm not a lawyer.
01:04:02.000I can't speak for why these lawyers have made weak cases that ended up losing, or settling, or just not accomplishing what they wanted to accomplish.
01:04:08.000But then when you listen to the lawyers on their shows, and you listen to high-profile people coming out and explaining what went down, they make it sound like they had a much better case than they presented, and I don't understand why they didn't go for it.
01:04:56.000They've violated their own correction policy.
01:04:58.000They've accused us of being irresponsible while holding themselves to a lower standard, stating that we get an 82 out of 100.
01:05:04.000I say that's a statement of fact, that they've rated us on the basis that they are giving a factual analysis, but they are not.
01:05:11.000They don't follow their own standards or policies.
01:05:14.000And the reason I take this so seriously, people need to understand this, NewsGuard is used by advertising agencies and big tech to reduce visibility of your content.
01:05:23.000So if you sit, so we're 82 out of 100.
01:05:26.000I mean, we're one of the best, but they arbitrarily gave our website a ding, even though our standards are greater than theirs.
01:05:36.000USA Today fabricated 23 stories, and they say that's fine.
01:05:41.000I want to be careful here because there's some behind-the-scenes stuff related to serious malfeasance, but I have already issued a demand to them, and it is very, very likely we will be filing a suit.
01:05:53.000And I will probably seek crowdfunding to help other organizations that have been defamed by them falsely and smeared in violation of their own standards.
01:06:02.000And there's a few things people need to know about the elements of defamation.
01:06:29.000That's very different from a mischaracterization.
01:06:30.000That's a false statement of their actions, defaming us.
01:06:33.000They accused our content of being fiction.
01:06:36.000And they did not, as per their own policy, which is their standard, admitted that they said we were wrong to say TimCast's content is fictional.
01:07:32.000You don't get to send me an email demanding we editorialize our content and then you omit from your own article that you had an error in your own assessments.
01:07:42.000When they published it, with six errors, right off the bat, I emailed them immediately and demanded retractions, corrections, and they have refused, every step of the way, to correct.
01:07:54.000NewsGuard fabricated a quote from me that pissed me off.
01:07:58.000You know, when it was accusing Tales from the Inverted World of being fiction, I said, that is a false statement.
01:08:03.000And they changed it, but never explained, as per their own policy, what they did wrong.
01:08:19.000They have dinged us simply because we are an independent media organization.
01:08:23.000USA Today fabricated 23 stories, and they give them a perfect score.
01:08:28.000Media Matters gets like an 80 out of 100, and they're a conspiracy crackpot website.
01:08:33.000So anyway, I'm frustrated because I'm pissed off at these institutions, but I believe we have serious standing and reason to prove That they have, there's actual malice in the insertion of words into a quote, knowing I did not say these things, and knowing I never implied them.
01:08:53.000I'll give you exactly what it is, because they're trying to argue, when we put words in your quote, we're implying something.
01:09:27.000And I want to see what they wrote when they were talking to their editors and lawyers as to why they decided to change the context of what I said.
01:09:33.000They did not admit, as per their own correction policy, they did that.
01:09:36.000So I think they outright defamed, libeled me, and so you have actual malice, and then reckless disregard for the truth in that they don't abide by their own standards.
01:09:45.000So in their fact-checking process, they three times incorrectly labeled my job at three different organizations.
01:10:08.000If in the end the suit is dismissed, I long for the day NewsGuard files in their federal response why they are allowed to have zero standards for their own journalists, why they're allowed to fabricate quotes, why they're allowed to smear and defame a plethora of independent media organizations, and why they give perfect scores to outlets like CNN and The New York Times, who publish fake crap all the time.
01:10:29.000Anyway, I'm pissed off about it, you can tell.
01:10:39.000I think that people don't care enough.
01:10:41.000You're very obviously not one of those people.
01:10:44.000But I think the other problem is that, and I think we saw it a lot with COVID, people are much more content to go along because they don't want to start things.
01:10:54.000And so even though they see things that are objectively ridiculous, like putting a cloth mask on a two-year-old baby, people are afraid to speak up because everyone is a coward.
01:11:06.000And so I think that there is a lot of that.
01:11:07.000We had Tucker Maxx on, and he said power likes to be hidden.
01:11:13.000I was asking them, because we bring this up quite a bit, where are all the powerful people to just come out, make powerful statements, buy commercials, put up billboards, and challenge the things we know they're privately complaining about?
01:11:25.000Where are all the Hollywood celebrities that privately complain about this stuff but then don't stand up?
01:11:30.000There's a really great comic where it shows a guy burning a woman at the stake and he says, psst, I just want to let you know I completely agree with everything you said.
01:11:37.000That's modern mainstream society, unfortunately.
01:11:43.000I imagine sooner or later someone's going to get pissed off enough with me and they're going to try and do something.
01:11:47.000We've already been swatted nine times.
01:11:49.000I'm a little nervous about that, actually, speaking of which.
01:11:50.000Well, we have armed security and things like that.
01:11:53.000I would say one of the other things I think happens is that it's expensive to make your legal battles a priority.
01:11:59.000And I think there are other independent media companies who are probably being treated... I mean, this is particularly horrendous treatment of our organization and of course I hesitate to comment on it because I've been with Tim Cass since the newsroom began.
01:12:14.000I've been here for like a year so this is a lot of my work that's being scrutinized and I am very glad that you're willing to do something about it because I think We do hold ourselves and all of our journalists to an
01:12:50.000James O'Keefe and Project Veritas, they've crowdfunded the finances required to file a lawsuit and they're going up against the New York Times.
01:12:58.000And regardless, this is what people need to understand too.
01:13:02.000Winning doesn't mean having a judge bang a gavel and say, for the plaintiff.
01:13:07.000Winning means getting these organizations to admit they're liars and they publish fake garbage.
01:13:14.000So all, you know, look, all I want is... I told NewsGuard right off the bat, how could you deem us irresponsible but have a lower standard than us?
01:13:24.000And they just said, too bad, so sad, go cry about it.
01:13:28.000We make our judgments based on the fact that we're looking for you to correct these articles without us coming to you for them.
01:13:35.000And I said, we've corrected substantial articles without you coming to us and telling us to correct them.
01:13:39.000You found five articles that you had questions on, only one of which had a factual inaccuracy, which we corrected right away, as per our corrections policy.
01:14:16.000I want them to answer to a judge why it is the New York Times can publish the exact same thing as us.
01:14:21.000In terms of the reporting and the quotes, and that's responsible, but for us it's not.
01:14:25.000It's because I think there may be a motive that is more attuned to causing harm, intentional injury and monetary damages to small businesses that might compete with the friends of these organizations and their investors.
01:14:40.000Anybody who tries to create a new media company, anybody who tries to report news that falls outside of the official cathedral narrative, for some reason, has a really rough go of it.
01:17:00.000They took no issue with any other quotes.
01:17:01.000What Blue Haven Initiative wants, otherwise they'll pull their impact investment out of NewsGuard, which is to, you know, what Blue Haven Initiative wants is to Uh, generate a measurable beneficial social or environmental impact alongside financial return.
01:17:16.000Oh, I wonder what their social impact they're trying to acquire.
01:17:21.000The institutions are as corrupt as corrupt can be.
01:17:24.000So people, people, again, you need to understand what their goal here is, is to go to advertising agencies and say, anybody we deem unworthy, do not sell with.
01:17:37.000So when NewsGuard goes after you, unless you're operating in the parallel economy, which is what a lot of people are trying to do, then you're going to be cut off from financial resources and that's their goal.
01:17:51.000It is cancel culture on crack, on steroids.
01:17:55.000So this is one of the most important fronts.
01:17:57.000Now, I will say this, and I'm very proud to say this, MSNBC is officially fake news according to NewsGuard.
01:18:05.000So look, I think NewsGuard does some good.
01:18:09.000I just think they're biased and the machine is broken.
01:18:12.000We are actually, you know, looking at how we can do a different kind of rating on journalistic ethics.
01:18:18.000So I think there does need to be some kind of system that says, like, here are things this company has done.
01:18:23.000The problem is, NewsGuard violates their own standards and publishes false information and then accuses other people of doing the same thing.
01:18:31.000That being said, when an organization as broken and biased as this calls MSNBC violating severe journalistic standards, that's still good news.
01:18:40.000Because when the machine itself is rejecting its own garbage, you can take this from NewsGuard and you can show all your friends and family when they claim MSNBC is real.
01:18:55.000This might be an interesting segue to the Barry Weiss thing with Chuck Schumer.
01:18:58.000Oh, let's pull up the Barry Weiss thing.
01:19:00.000Yeah, let's talk all about how the corrupt media operates.
01:19:03.000Daily Mail reports, Barry Weiss reveals New York Times editors wanted to check with Chuck Schumer before running an op-ed by Republican Tim Scott about his police reform bill after George Floyd's murder.
01:19:24.000Former NYT opinion editor Barry Weiss told Senator Tim Scott on Wednesday about an internal discussion around his op-ed.
01:19:30.000Scott's article was the subject of an internal debate, excuse me, Weiss said, and one of the senior editors questioned whether Republicans cared about minority rights.
01:19:39.000The New York Times denied her account, saying, I'm gonna call BS in the New York Times.
01:19:48.000Having worked for many of these, you know, organizations, this is the exact kind of stuff you see.
01:21:29.000Yeah, I mean, from the reporting, she was having a conversation with Tim Scott and she said, I don't know if you know this, but this is what happened.
01:21:38.000And so I think it was sort of a natural thing.
01:21:40.000I mean, it makes me wonder what other stories she has under her hat.
01:21:44.000And I think that there was a lot of—I mean, she was—I think she should have sued The
01:21:48.000New York Times, personally, because it was, you know, workplace bullying and intimidation
01:22:32.000I think it's the one where the politician, the senator is like super depressed and wants to kill himself so then he just starts telling the truth and like he doesn't care anymore but then he like decides he wants to live or whatever.
01:22:43.000He like goes up on stage at a black church and they're like, why didn't you deliver this bill?
01:22:47.000And he's like, Because we got your vote.
01:22:53.000And then people ended up really liking it.
01:22:55.000I think that with, you know, people like Barry Weiss, she's probably sitting on a whole bunch of other stuff.
01:23:01.000And I'd say like, come on, like, of course she is.
01:23:03.000That she's not going to talk about because she's probably scared about what will happen if she challenges the machine.
01:23:09.000And I mean if you were in a cult you participated in the cult right so there are there's probably stuff that she's I could imagine not proud of or not ready to talk about her involvement in right and I you know I don't necessarily hold that against her it's a complicated thing to come out of something or to dissociate or something from an ideology you've been wrapped up in for a long time but some of her stories you know she's in the rooms for a reason she's involved with the organization so I mean she was a junior staffer I mean I think that I think it's it's hard to to be in that moment.
01:23:43.000I mean she was she was in that newsroom and everyone around her was just they I mean they wanted to throttle her and I can't imagine what that feels like to go day after day somewhere where everyone hates you and one misstep like you didn't wash your hands after you left the bathroom can be become like a viral Twitter thread of your colleague who's sitting like our distance apart from each other.
01:24:09.000I don't know if she's scared of them anymore.
01:24:11.000I think that she's burned that bridge and she's not looking back.
01:24:14.000Didn't someone who works with her write that terrible article about Jordan Peterson and enforced monogamy?
01:24:21.000So you wondered to what degree they were participating, and they decided, like, I don't want to do this.
01:24:25.000I don't necessarily trust a lot of people, especially if it takes them two years to come out and be like, oh, by the way, this really crazy thing happened.
01:24:32.000That's the kind of thing where I'd be like, I want to quit.
01:24:35.000And in fact, when I worked for Fusion and they started doing this stuff, I tried quitting, but I was under contract, so instead I just stopped participating in their BS system.
01:24:43.000And then immediately started telling everybody about it.
01:24:50.000The fact that they would stealth edit articles and told me not to report on the New York Times doing stealth editing because they would get exposed for doing it as well.
01:24:58.000And I was like, I'm gonna tell everybody.
01:25:05.000Like, my goal is to inform people, not... not be, like, a tribalist for some corporation.
01:25:11.000You think I care about Fusion's bottom line?
01:25:14.000Like, I'm here to tell people what's going on in the world.
01:25:17.000So when the president of that company said, we're here to side with the audience, in reference to how we handle bias and perspective, basically said, you know, millennial, or he said, young people are progressive, so that's who we're gonna side with.
01:26:04.000Those people aren't coming out and explaining to everybody they're lying to their faces.
01:26:08.000But behind the scenes, they're saying in private, it takes a special kind of person to know you are engaged in operating an evil machine that destroys this country, but be like, I need the paycheck.
01:26:23.000Speaking up for Barry, I'm not going to speak up for the rest of them, but she and I had this experience as someone who wrote for Barry for the New York Times.
01:26:33.000She fought really hard to get sanity on the pages and to get different perspectives published in the Times that wouldn't have otherwise been there.
01:26:41.000And I think that she swallowed a lot of stuff for a long time that made her deeply uncomfortable.
01:26:47.000Because she felt like it was for the greater good and I think she got to a point where she realized that is a calculus that no longer But it's not equaling out anymore.
01:27:00.000I'm not doing more good inside the machine than outside the machine.
01:27:05.000But she fought very hard for a while to operate behind enemy lines.
01:27:11.000And I think it just got to the point where she realized it just wasn't tangible anymore and she wasn't having enough of an impact to justify Not just, you know, being part of the machine, but also just the mental health strain that she was under and the assault that she was under by all of her colleagues.
01:27:27.000But I respect her for saying as long as she did.
01:27:30.000But I mean, there's people at CNN that James O'Keefe exposed.
01:27:56.000And then they're like, but we're gonna stay.
01:27:58.000But I think they think, ultimately, it is for the greater good, because they are setting a narrative that they think is important to be changed.
01:28:12.000Undercover camera exposes, they're admitting they're doing wrong.
01:28:15.000Are you saying it's sort of like they're accelerationists?
01:28:17.000They're like, look, we got to burn it down and we are willing to burn it down in this way.
01:28:21.000No, like there's one famous guy who's like sitting in a chair and he's like, or one of the famous exposes is a guy who's like, we used to go out and report the news, man.
01:28:29.000Now all we do is just complain about Trump and just try and drive this And he thinks that's a good thing.
01:28:35.000I think they think that's a good thing.
01:28:40.000But ultimately, I think that given the choice between straight news reporting and trashing Trump, they don't... But this is a guy who's saying he wished they did real news reporting.
01:28:52.000I think he wants to say that, but obviously he doesn't actually believe it, or he would have left.
01:29:00.000Einstein said that's the definition of an insanity, is when you keep doing the same thing expecting a different result, and these people that are staying there expecting it, if they really are, they believe it's going to get better by staying there, they're insane, according to Einstein.
01:29:11.000It's a very general term, but it could be a form of insanity.
01:29:15.000I don't think that's a path to do it, but that could be an explanation of why.
01:29:19.000I agree with you in that regard, that a lot of people say they want things, but they really don't.
01:29:23.000Like, they either don't want it, or they actually just don't care enough to pursue going after something.
01:29:29.000So maybe for a lot of these people, they just think, you know, CNN's culture behind the scenes is to rag on the company for being garbage, but no one really cares.
01:29:43.000I mean, it's kind of like, you know, great sort of all the complaints that you hear about parents of kids in private schools, and they complain and they complain and complain.
01:29:53.000I'm thinking of the sort of the folks that are talking about like the wokeness and in all these private schools.
01:29:59.000And they stay because it's the pinnacle of achievement.
01:30:05.000And I think that these people at CNN, this is the pinnacle of professional achievement in their industry.
01:30:50.000She was a terrible PR for that company.
01:30:51.000Yeah, and they thought the controversy was gonna generate traffic or... So this is what... I heard this from someone who, you know, had, like, behind-the-scenes access or something like that.
01:30:59.000Is this at CN... This is... At Washington Post.
01:31:46.000I think that they realized that she has no loyalty and that any controversy that she conjures, it's often going to be at their expense because she doesn't care about the brand.
01:32:01.000And so I don't think that they were worried that people were going to quit.
01:32:04.000I think they were worried that she was a beast that was about to turn on them.
01:32:09.000Someone told me that when we put up the billboard in Times Square saying she doxed the libs of TikTok, that she immediately went and demanded they file a suit or something and file a legal thing to get taken down.
01:32:19.000And they were like, it's an opinion statement.
01:33:07.000And so they're just trying to keep the way they look about presenting the news palatable for the masses, as opposed to just directly reporting the information.
01:33:18.000And so that's why they have spin doctors and things like that.
01:34:11.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com because we got some stories for you coming up on the After Hours show, man.
01:34:22.000I'll just tell you, like, Boston Children's Hospital hysterectomies on children?
01:34:27.000Yeah, we'll talk about that because this is... The way she delivered it, too.
01:35:05.000Cantankerous says, Tim, you keep mentioning picnicking at the Battle of Fort Sumter, and you are confusing it with the First Battle of Bull Run, July 21st, 1861, which was the first land battle of the Civil War.
01:35:19.000I was reading an article online when they mentioned the picnicking, and they may have I may have misinterpreted what they were saying.
01:35:26.000I was reading a historical article and it was like, we know Battle of Fort Sumter, which started out the Civil War or whatever.
01:35:32.000People were so in disbelief, they were picnicking on the hillside, and I may have assumed it was the same thing.
01:35:38.000But you want to... Yeah, the first thing I typed, picnic battle of, and the first thing that came up was, was the first battle of Bull Run really the picnic battle?
01:36:00.000David C. says, From last night, does Ian understand that our politicians are like this because they aren't investigated?
01:36:06.000All of them should fear investigation and prosecution.
01:36:10.000Um, geez, I mean, there's so many reasons why people in control of the military and the power are doing what they're doing.
01:36:18.000I think maybe part of it is that they feel like as long as they're in that position that they won't be investigated for doing what we've basically asked them to do behind our backs, which is control the military.
01:36:28.000I mean, the amount of bombings and stuff that's going on in the world right now with our eyes blind to it is it's nuts.
01:36:41.000I feel like a lot of this is like the air, like you were saying about Barry Weiss, that maybe she feels guilty about what she had done while she was part of the cult.
01:36:50.000And like, maybe she said the N word and it's going to come out in 2017 at a meeting and like, just let it go, man.
01:36:56.000Let all this past crap go so we can focus on right now and the future.
01:37:02.000Alright, Jay says, while I can't help being nervous, I am still hopeful.
01:37:06.000I had to remind myself to breathe, slow down, and reset your thoughts.
01:37:15.000It's like getting traction with a wheel on a road.
01:37:17.000If it spins too fast, it's not gonna go anywhere.
01:37:21.000All right, a bunch of Super Chats saying that Ian and my mics aren't working.
01:37:26.000They were working, so the issue was that we turned up Bethany, because she was really quiet at first, and then she was picking up Echo from the room, so I muted the purple mic and turned yours down, and everything came out okay.
01:37:38.000Beavis McLean says, check out Executive Order 13292, section 13.
01:37:43.000Classification authority clearly states, authority to classify information may be exercised by the President in performance of executive duties.
01:37:50.000This includes declassification as well.
01:38:31.000They're going to learn all about Johnny Depp.
01:38:36.000I had the honor of meeting a local politician in West Virginia recently and we're in discussions about I'm going to be helping fund a micro school.
01:38:46.000Which believes in the traditional American values.
01:38:49.000And they do have a Bible study, but I'm told it's optional for parents who just want to get away from the woke stuff.
01:39:30.000It was one of the worst things about the Hope Scholarship issues that West Virginia is having is that it took away a lot of choice that parents had to opt into other education.
01:39:39.000The Hope Scholarship is like a program in West Virginia that would give money if you decide to pull your kid out of public school and choose an alternative route so you could put it towards all kinds of things and it got rejected by a judge in the state and that is a real blow to school choice in my opinion in West Virginia.
01:39:56.000E Rodriguez says, I'm catching up on one and a half playback speed and Tim is bordering on a rap god levels of words per minute.
01:40:05.000Like I mentioned before, like when I'm doing segments on my other channels, I'll be like, I'll have so much going on with work that I'm like, I got to get this done fast.
01:40:13.000But the segments are timed, not word count.
01:40:17.000So I'll start talking really fast and end up turning a 20 minute segment into a double timed 40 minute segment because I'll say, dude, I put on one of our shows last week at two times speed and was listening to you, and I could, it was so fast, but I could understand every word you were saying because of your enunciation.
01:40:34.000Yeah, you have incredible enunciation.
01:40:36.000I don't think you get enough credit for that.
01:44:09.000The cornerstones of this country are shattered.
01:44:11.000The next phase is mass attacks on, say, regular people.
01:44:16.000He's insinuating the government will be doing it.
01:44:19.000There was an article today that referred to the Gadsden flag as far-right extremism.
01:44:25.000When your own country's history is labeled by the corporate press, by the institutions as extremism, It kind of feels like your country is being worn like a skin suit, you know.
01:44:37.000Well, there was that New Yorker cover of the Republican House and the Democratic House.
01:45:11.000I mean, we get, so at Heroes of Liberty, we publish books about, you know, Alexander Hamilton, Ronald Reagan, And we tried to run ads on Twitter about our books in the wake of Roe v. Wade and we were sort of advertising like faith and freedom whatever we never said anything about Dobbs nothing and Twitter throttled us and now I mean like Facebook throttled us also right in the very beginning like this idea that patriotism is somehow political is I mean we've been told that directly by these social media companies.
01:45:46.000Yeah, it's a global technocracy, Jeff.
01:45:49.000Jeff was who made that last comment, right?
01:46:48.000And, like, the United States and the Chinese Communist Party are, like, going over history, and they're like, when the revolution started, it was thanks to Chinese intervention.
01:46:57.000And they make movies called, like, there's, like, a new movie called The Patriot.
01:47:01.000And, like, a Chinese general lands in California and is like, I will help you win.
01:47:43.000Otherwise, people are just gonna get angrier and angrier, and then you'll get crazy stuff like what we saw today, which we definitely do not want.
01:47:50.000We could have an FBI agent on the show someday.
01:50:26.000That's the funny thing, like, we have a song out already called Will of the People, and, like, half the comments are like, is this really Tim singing?
01:50:36.000Not that I was singing very well back then, because it's like, you can't record 16 hours a day, you know, work 16 hours a day, and then try and sing at the end of it, but... Eric Miller says, I watched your bit about Monsters, Inc.
01:50:48.000Is it just me, or is it a mockery of mainstream media, i.e.
01:50:52.000scared children as frightened viewers?
01:54:36.000So it's funny because we have three really big black star roosters, which are bullies.
01:54:43.000And so we, we have a chicken, we have a coop, and then in it are all the smaller roosters, and then Roberto's in charge, because he was the biggest and oldest.
01:54:51.000But the three Blackstar boys were just, they would gang up and spin around them.
01:54:55.000So we have them with an electrified fence outside the coop, and it looks like they're prison guards.
01:55:49.000I gotta tell you, it was 2019, I think, when I went on Rogan with Twitter, and I said at the end of it that if Twitter kept doing what they were doing with censorship, it was going to lead to civil chaos or conflict or something.
01:56:01.000And I was like, that's why I'm building a van!
01:56:02.000I can build in a van with all this equipment in it, and like, solar power, cause... Yo, I'm- I'm looking at what's going on.
01:56:09.000And you know, honestly, I knew people would think that was crazy.
01:56:12.000That I would say something like that, I'm gonna build a van and go live down by the river!
01:56:15.000They're gonna be like, this dude's off his rocker.
01:56:40.000When there was armed guards outside Costco and I had to buy freaking diapers.
01:56:45.000And then we had a formula shortage the next year.
01:56:47.000I think that our trust in the stability of our civilization is sufficiently rocked by everything we saw in 2020.
01:56:56.000That I don't think people would think you were crazy saying that now.
01:56:59.000I think the writing's been on the walls for some people who pay a lot of attention to news and cultural shifts for a long time, but people don't want to hear it because they can't conceptualize what a civil war would look like.
01:57:11.000That's like even now with everything that's going on with, you know, a recent attack on an FBI building, there's this question of like, is it starting?
01:58:48.000He was, I mean, he was also extremely intelligent and charismatic, but not like Alex.
01:58:52.000I think part of it is, like, Roberto had a different set of circumstances.
01:58:55.000He had to kind of make his way through life.
01:58:58.000It was a much harder time, and now, you know, he has given his son this kingdom to rule, and it's, you know, it requires a different set of skills.
01:59:52.000You think he's talking, he's told information about talking plasma?
01:59:56.000Where they triangulate lasers and hit a point in the sky where it shows up on radar and they think it's a craft, but they just move around a dot?
02:00:02.000I feel like I just set off the Ian Batt signal.
02:00:29.000You know, I just, I don't understand this kind of, like, conspiracy logic, I guess.
02:00:35.000What would be gained by swatting me when it has zero impact on us?
02:00:40.000We had a credible threat, which did cause an evacuation, but... That was the night after I was here last.
02:00:46.000Yeah, 40,000 people watched, and then Jeremy Hambly gave us a bunch of money.
02:00:50.000And so I was like, eh, it kind of sucks, but you make the best of it.
02:00:53.000We learned that Chercast was a viable option for the business.
02:00:56.000And also, I need to stress that the properties that are being targeted are known specifically to a group of people that we're aware of, and so evidence does not indicate there is the Feds coming after us, to put it simply.
02:01:09.000I can't give out too much information, but let me just say there's something called coloring the water.
02:01:14.000Where you have three cups on a table, and there's a pool of water under all of them.
02:01:18.000How do you figure out which cup is leaking?
02:01:20.000You put red in one, green in one, and blue in the other.
02:01:23.000And whatever color the water on the table turns, you know where the leak is in the cup.
02:01:27.000To put it simply, the people who are committing the swattings have made a series of errors in thinking that traps were not set.
02:02:55.000Bethany, do you want to shout anything out?
02:02:56.000Yeah, Bethany Schoendark on Twitter and Instagram and HeroesofLiberty.com for your children's book needs and Deseret.com for my other thoughts.
02:03:06.000We should get some of those books for the school I was talking about.
02:03:08.000I was actually going to try to plug that, but I thought... Absolutely.
02:03:32.000You know, it's easy to get things wrong when you talk a lot as your job in public.
02:03:35.000So if I ever say anything that's factually inaccurate, please tweet it at me and hit my app, Ian Crossland, on Twitter or on Mines so that I can attempt to correct the error on air live, like what I did about Zeta Reticuli earlier.
