On this week's episode of the podcast, we discuss the latest in the Biden/Bannon saga, the attempted assassination of a Republican congressman, and the potential for a Supreme Court challenge to Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress conviction. We also hear from comedian and author Konstantin Kissin, who joins us to talk about his new book, An Immigrant Letter to the West, which is out now.
00:01:35.000But this whole political circumstance around the Biden administration and Democrats targeting former administration officials with arrests and investigation, well, it brings us to a dangerous territory with this other story last night.
00:01:49.000Lee Zeldin, he's a Republican congressman.
00:01:53.000Now I'm seeing all these news outlets saying allegedly tried to stab but there's a photo of the guy holding a blade in his hand it's got like two-pronged blade and Zelda is grabbing his arm to hold him back I'm like you can see the guy on camera like try to go at his neck so I'm like attempted or alleged well attempted yes but like alleged I was like you watch you watch the guy do it Crazy, crazy stories, man.
00:02:14.000I did some cursory digging into this guy's background and I think he might be, I could be wrong about this, but just like a default liberal kind of guy, like a regular guy doesn't pay attention to politics all that much but votes Democrat, radicalized by the January 6th committee and Democrat rhetoric around extremist MAGA stuff.
00:02:32.000Because we know that Democrats have been funding GOP candidates while simultaneously claiming it's an existential threat.
00:02:39.000We also got probably the best story ever.
00:02:42.000It has been leaked, or apparently it's being reported, that Donald Trump, should he win in 2024, he will purge up to 50,000 government employees.
00:02:52.000And it's funny because the media and the Democrats are like, oh no, he's going to dismantle our government.
00:03:01.000Before we get started, my friends, why don't you head over to TimCast.com, become a member to support our work.
00:03:07.000And if you go to that members only section, you can see the wonderful Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:03:11.000We had her on last night, giving her thoughts on what the Republicans may do In 2022, uh, or I'd say 2023 in January when they win as it pertains to the election in 2020.
00:04:37.000I'm a former stand-up comedian turned YouTuber and just written a book called An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West, which is a Sunday Times bestseller as of today, which I'm pleased about.
00:04:47.000But I co-host a YouTube show called Trigonometry, And it's two things.
00:04:52.000We interview people, so it's serious interviews, and also we do something called the Raw Show, which is me and my co-host Francis, both comics, just joking around the events of the day.
00:05:01.000We do every ridiculous accident under the sun, just to make fun of everything and don't take anything too seriously.
00:06:06.000I am worried that in the West we're moving in the direction of the society that I grew up in, which was the late Soviet Union, in terms of many of the things that I'm seeing.
00:06:14.000And I wanted to give people in the West a warning not to go down that road, because it's not a very good one.
00:06:54.000They're gonna say two months to run concurrently for both counts, but we'll see the story.
00:07:00.000Steve Bannon said, we may have lost a battle here today, but we are not going to lose this war.
00:07:05.000Bannon is the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, as well as a former advisor to President Trump.
00:07:10.000The conviction comes after a four-day trial during which the Justice Department argued Bannon believes he's above the law, and showed he chose to show his contempt for Congress's authority and its processes by refusing to comply with the January 6th Committee's subpoenas.
00:07:24.000Well, instead of just reading this, let me just ask Hannah Clare, what's going on with this story?
00:07:28.000Are there any other developments, or, you know, what's your reporting on it?
00:07:31.000Yeah, well, the major thing is that he has been following this line that he was exercising executive privilege from President Trump, that Trump's lawyers had encouraged him not to testify before the committee, not to submit any documents.
00:07:45.000And they're saying this is within, you know, Official protocol, it's acceptable.
00:09:48.000They claimed that Trump supporters were encouraging people to go down and get violent.
00:09:53.000And they put me in their montage of people because I commented on a comment Trump made as I was reading a news article.
00:10:01.000I said, Donald Trump says this will happen and has called for his supporters.
00:10:04.000So they put me in this montage because their goal is just to lie and drive escalation.
00:10:09.000What we've been seeing the Democrats do is they've been putting money into Trump-supported candidates, like Trump-endorsed candidates, so that they win, because they believe come November, they will then beat the Trump candidate, right?
00:10:22.000They're coming out on January 6th and saying, it's an existential threat to our country, but then funding the message and propping it up.
00:10:29.000So Steve Bannon gets a subpoena, and first and foremost, he didn't just say, screw you.
00:10:33.000He said, the president has executive privilege, meaning, you know, we don't have to comply with Congress.
00:10:39.000There's got to be some negotiation, right?
00:10:42.000Their argument that Trump's not the president therefore doesn't count, but I'm like, but he was.
00:10:49.000You lose your executive privilege the moment you're out of office, then we'd be going after every single president ever.
00:10:54.000Why aren't they going after Bush over the Middle Eastern war stuff?
00:10:58.000This is purely, I think, we're getting into authoritarian, fascistic, communistic, whatever you want to call it, where there's the Uniparty, neocons and neolibs.
00:11:10.000And if you oppose them, they will destroy you.
00:11:13.000And the people who work in government are just going to, you know, turn along with it.
00:11:17.000Well, let's remember that the two Republicans on this committee are Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, who are notoriously unpopular in the Republican Party.
00:11:24.000I mean, they'll say it's bipartisan, but you have to question why they didn't appoint someone who had a more opposing perspective from the Democrats that are leaving this committee.
00:11:36.000It's clearly not something that they were interested in doing.
00:11:39.000I think with Bannon, ultimately, he has just become a man with a target on his back. They
00:11:46.000know that if they can make this advisor to Trump who is outside of he represents to a lot of normal
00:11:52.000Americans a lot of normal liberal Americans sort of the fear of who Trump is cultivating or who Trump
00:11:58.000works with and I think by fine I mean I think if he goes to jail for let's say 60 days they also
00:12:59.000Now you've got seditious conspiracy charges, and I think it's all fake for a variety of reasons.
00:13:05.000One, you've got They had this unnamed co-conspirator and the guy actually like revealed himself saying like here's the chat messages we were saying no violence it was like it was like criticizing people who are arguing for violence you've got Ray Epps for instance this guy who's out in the street on camera telling people to go in no charges the media defends him the reality is
00:13:27.000There were no cops protecting the perimeter.
00:13:30.000Like, there was no substantial police force.
00:13:37.000There was a riot at one side, and there were people shoving their way in some areas, and maybe half of the people who walked in were invited in by the police.
00:13:45.000The cops opened the doors, waved them in.
00:13:47.000Oh no, all of this I agree with and I totally accept.
00:13:50.000I guess what I'm saying is, I think from their perspective, a more plausible explanation is, they thought Donald Trump was Hitler, right?
00:14:36.000The Democrats—it gets kind of vague, because when Marjorie Taylor Greene was here last night, I listened to you guys talking.
00:14:40.000She was saying the Democrats want to—she's talking about the Democrat congressmen and women, but when you say the Democrats, you're talking about, like, the Governor's Association.
00:14:48.000Yeah, the Democratic National Committee and the voters are a bunch of naive, ignorant people who are marching in lockstep with fake news.
00:14:55.000Because the people that assign themselves Democrat when they vote are considered Democrats, but they're not the Democratic Congress people.
00:15:14.000The point is there's democratic leadership and infrastructure, and the infrastructure and leadership and money has an agenda and a goal.
00:15:21.000True, but to say that because the Democratic Governors Association is funding Trump candidates doesn't mean that all Democrats are funding Trump candidates.
00:15:29.000No, it means the Democratic establishment is applying resources in that direction in many ways, while simultaneously the same establishment is screaming that this is the end of democracy.
00:15:38.000So who controls the Democratic establishment?
00:15:41.000I mean, you can point to a handful of people.
00:16:15.000But you look at the Biden administration, it feels like the Democratic Party is a chicken with its head cut off, running around randomly, spraying things around.
00:17:04.000That's kind of what I'm... Like, a big problem on the left that I see is people exaggerating the nature of everything that happens.
00:17:10.000They're so obsessed with being a victim, everything makes them extra victim.
00:17:14.000And that's why I was just asking the question, right?
00:17:16.000Because I don't know that much about this.
00:17:18.000I was just sort of posing it as a question, which is, is it not their perspective that this thing that nearly happened would have been absolutely awful, and they really, really, really, really, really want to prevent it from No.
00:18:27.000They talk down to black people when they're talking to them.
00:18:29.000So the fact that, I mean, if you would make the assumption that the numerous times AOC's fabricated stories, and I can give you like five at the top of my head, that it's all accidental or the result of trauma, that is a conspiracy theory.
00:18:43.000Like, that is on par with like, you might as well go buy a lottery ticket because if all those things are coincidences, you've won the lottery by now.
00:18:49.000No, the simple solution is, if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, you've got a duck.
00:18:56.000She lied when she led the protest in the financial district to get Amazon booted from New York, and then when Amazon jumped out of New York, dropping, I think, what was it, like $30 billion in revenue over 10 years, she goes, I had nothing to do with that.
00:19:09.000You look at January 6th, you look at changing her accent, you look at faking her handcuffs, the woman literally just fabricates things with a smile on her face.
00:19:38.000Exaggerating would be like, if AOC said that when the cop knocked on her door and said, where is she?
00:19:45.000She got scared because she didn't know who this person was and felt threatened by it.
00:19:49.000I would have been like, that's an exaggeration probably.
00:19:51.000Instead, she claimed she thought that the rioters got to her a full hour before the rioters breached the building and no one had any idea they would have done that.
00:19:59.000That's a fabrication, not an exaggeration.
00:20:01.000Like, no one even came in the building.
00:20:03.000She turned one circumstance into a different circumstance because she had hindsight.
00:20:08.000She knew the circumstances of the day, and she knew most people did not know the timeline.
00:20:12.000So when I saw that story, I said, this doesn't make sense.
00:20:49.000There was no breaching of the Capitol.
00:20:51.000She's just sitting in her office one day and someone knocks on the door and she's like, oh, you better go hide in the bathroom because she fabricated the story.
00:20:57.000I agree with you that witnesses to crimes can, under stress, misremember things and things become confusing or hyperbolic.
00:21:36.000This was huge breaking news yesterday.
00:21:38.000Lee Zeldin, a Republican from New York, someone tried to stab him.
00:21:41.000And they're saying it was an alleged stabbing.
00:21:43.000And I'm like, there's a picture of the guy holding I don't know what it's called, but it's got two blades on it in his hand as he's, like, going, and then Zeldin's holding his arm back.
00:22:09.000Which Lee Zeldin predicted that night.
00:22:11.000But we're talking about a man who attempted to assassinate, at minimum, attempted to stab in the neck a Republican running for governor and they just cut him loose right away.
00:22:28.000It's interesting because Lee Zeldin, one of his major platforms running, he's challenging Kathy Hogle, is that the crime laws in New York are terrible and that they don't keep people safe who need to be kept safe.
00:22:41.000So it's just irony of irony that he was like, I can tell you, he said this at 1.30 in the morning, like, under New York state law, this man will be released.
00:22:49.000And he was completely right because he knows the law.
00:22:51.000They charged him with attempted second degree assault.
00:22:54.000You jump on stage to a sitting member of Congress, when a sitting member of Congress is there, with a blade in your hand and go for his neck and that's it?
00:23:05.000I've heard some arguments that he was actually reaching for the microphone and that the blade, it's not a knife.
00:23:12.000Because the governor, Zeldin, said that he said you're done to him before he came at him.
00:23:17.000Maybe he was going to try and grab the microphone.
00:23:18.000Well, why does he have a weapon in his hand?
00:23:20.000See, if you're approaching a guy with a weapon, that's attempted murder.
00:23:23.000I've heard other people say, well, those are like self-defense keychains.
00:24:05.000And in the video, you can see his arm go up and around towards the neck.
00:24:08.000And that's what a lot of people reported, that he took a swing at his neck, at Zeldin's neck, and then they grabbed his arm, and then someone bear-hugged him and pinned him down.
00:24:16.000You jump on stage wielding a weapon saying, you're done, and then move your arm around with the blade in it.
00:24:43.000And this is based on some of his family, but it seems like they're default Democrat types, like naive, ignorant, not really paying attention.
00:24:50.000My personal assumption is that this guy is probably a dude who watches MSNBC and CNN.
00:25:08.000This is what I wrote about in the Newsweek article about January 6.
00:25:12.000The reason Raskin included me Out of context, in his video, is to drive escalation.
00:25:18.000So already, we've had people who work for me and people I know say they saw, like, the reason that the Newsweek article came to be is because I got hit up by Newsweek and they said, the moment we saw you in that clip, we knew something's not right here.
00:25:33.000Well, this is the point I made earlier.
00:25:34.000this and there were a bunch of people who hit me up and said like my family saw that and they were
00:25:37.000like whoa that's the guy you watch and they had to explain to them that it was fake that they're
00:25:42.000lying about this but it's radicalizing people. Well this is the point I made earlier if you
00:25:46.000remember when we started with Bannon it's like this worries me because your country is being
00:25:51.000radicalized against itself it's and the two sides are being encouraged to see each other as enemies.
00:26:53.000And how do we prepare for it to protect ourselves against attacks, not to attack?
00:26:57.000You look at the left and they're talking about how to go and arrest people and shut them, and they're mocking Bannon.
00:27:02.000They're wielding the power of the federal government against the previous administration.
00:27:06.000They are wielding law enforcement power to destroy their enemies.
00:27:09.000My worry is, though, Tim, is if you think about this story, right, if that politician who's a Republican, right, if he gets stabbed, that will radicalize people on the right as well.
00:28:54.000I'm not gonna say I know what he was thinking, but he had a blade in his hand and he motioned for his neck.
00:28:59.000And people often make these mistakes because they base their views on movies.
00:29:02.000In a movie, you see the guy jump up and, ah, I'm gonna get you!
00:29:05.000When you look in real life, assassinations could be very, very simple.
00:29:09.000And I'll tell you, I'll tell you about, uh, I was, you ever see those theaters, those theater events where they have the ninja and, uh, or actually as a better example, I'll start this way.
00:29:19.000You ever see those, those comedy routines where there's a black, a black background on a stage and then the guy will get fake slashed and then his body splits cause it's actually two people wearing, you know, a white, white pants and a white shirt, but then they're wearing all black.
00:29:32.000The idea of why ninja wear all black was because they would do plays.
00:29:36.000And to make the ninja not be able to be seen on stage, she would wear all black against a black backdrop.
00:29:42.000Then when they popped out and did something, you'd go, oh, it was a ninja!
00:29:44.000In reality, ninja would dress like a farmer.
00:29:47.000If you want to infiltrate to assassinate someone, you have to blend in, not wear all black.
00:30:58.000Zeldin addressed it, and he said, like, I could see this guy coming out of the corner of my eye.
00:31:02.000Like, I could see he had a hat on that maybe had a veteran's thing.
00:31:04.000But like, when this is happening, you can't really Stop to be like, oh, I'm gonna reason with him.
00:31:09.000Like, you just have to deal with what's going on.
00:31:11.000Like, grabbed his wrist, things like that.
00:31:13.000I will also note that the HOKL campaign specifically called out this event in an email saying, like, it's a MAGA Republican bus tour.
00:31:22.000That big line lead is like, like, they drew attention to this event.
00:31:26.000They're radicalized people and then pointed them in this direction.
00:31:28.000Yeah, because that's the big I mean, we are very divided country and especially in New York.
00:31:33.000You see it as HOKO lining up behind a lot of the more liberal policies that New York has carried through the pandemic and then.
00:31:41.000Zeldin is a vocal Trump supporter, so they are a perfect contrast.
00:31:46.000And to have this become something that's happening in their state, and then for him to correctly call out that the guy who attacked him is going to be released, it doesn't look great.
00:31:54.000They're not really looking for a mediation between these two sides.
00:33:15.000I don't know if there is a there is a way to solve it.
00:33:17.000I think it may end up being some kind of natural selection phenomenon where those that have the perspicacity to see what's happening start preparing for the winter and those that don't will starve in the winter.
00:33:51.000And then when we went back to the culture war, but it did.
00:33:54.000I think a genuine— Yeah, if aliens came, you'd have the left being like, we need to accept diversity, and the right being like, they're literally invading, and they'd be like, you don't know that, they're bringing us technology.
00:34:07.000Well, then it would be the right being like, hey, these guys aren't so bad.
00:34:09.000They'd wait to see what CNN told them to feel about the aliens, and then that would be the cult mindset, and everyone else would be like, what are you doing?
00:34:16.000The aliens would come down and go to the uniparty establishment elites, and they'd say, we're gonna give you immortality, cures for all your diseases, we're gonna give you levitation boots, tell your people to serve us, and they're gonna go, done!
00:34:29.000Real talk though, what would you guys do if aliens came?
00:34:31.000And were peaceful, and were like, we're here to coexist.
00:34:34.000I don't think aliens that would come would be peaceful, ever.
00:34:37.000Yeah, that doesn't seem like their vibe.
00:34:39.000And in a situation that they were, and they came and they're like, we're here to help.
00:35:58.000Like, you think they're going to be people.
00:36:01.000Let's just say aliens show up, and there's a gigantic ship, and it's filled with water, and the aliens are gigantic fleshy sacks with no eyes or ears or mouths, and they consume by sucking water in like filters, but they also have big brains.
00:36:31.000Well, this is why I said to you it would never happen that they'd be peaceful, because if they made the effort to come here, there'd be a reason for it, I think.
00:36:38.000My idea, I want to do a short film where an alien ship comes down over New York, and then everyone's like, wow, aliens!
00:36:44.000And then, you know, they go up onto the skyscraper, and they look, and they're like, You know, come make contact!
00:36:51.000And then all of a sudden, a gigantic laser beam just slices a building in half.
00:36:54.000And then a tractor- and then it just falls, and a tractor beam grabs it and strips- rips all the copper and metal wiring out, and the rest just crumbles and falls to the ground, crushing people.
00:37:02.000Then a bunch of ships come down and start mowing down buildings and ripping out the metals.
00:37:06.000And then people are like, oh no, they're attacking us!
00:37:09.000And then it switches to the perspective of the aliens, and it's just some fat lumberjack alien going, We got a big crop here, get the critters out of there, and then we'll just strip the copper out, bring it back to the ship.
00:37:19.000Like, we don't go there and negotiate with squirrels.
00:37:22.000You know, we don't go into the fields of wheat and negotiate with the field mice and the bunnies.
00:37:40.000So, you know, if that's life as we see it on Earth, and it's indicative of most life, like invasive life, invasive organisms take the opportunity to invade when they can, but natural predators curtail them, why would any alien race coming to Earth be any different?
00:37:55.000It's possible they could be, we just have no reason to believe that based on life on Earth.
00:38:07.000We've been able to, uh, technologically advanced intelligent species that we've been able to, to work with, but take a look at how we deal with whales.
00:38:15.000Like whales are intelligent, very intelligent, and we just shoot them and kill them.
00:38:18.000I just, you know, I read a story about whales that they're actually land mammals that went back into the ocean.
00:40:23.000It is his anger over Russiagate and being impeached for Ukrainegate, where I think he's going to go and just be like, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired.
00:41:13.000Like, the Fallout universe, the video game, we have this, like, post-nuclear apocalypse.
00:41:16.000No, I'm talking about, with the corruption of our government, when Marjorie Taylor Greene told us that there's, like, two people sitting in the House, and then they're just like, yay, passed.
00:41:58.000Donald Trump was going to bring in people like Peter Navarro and Kash Patel, who we've already seen, who are actually pretty good.
00:42:03.000And so it's like, okay, he guts—they're saying that they don't have to gut 50,000 people, just enough to where people stop being corrupt, because they know they'll get purged, it'll straighten things out.
00:42:14.000Alright, well, I'll take whatever I can get.
00:42:21.000Donald Trump says we're gonna go in and we're gonna arrest all these people and get them out of there and we're gonna deal with the police department.
00:42:54.000I'm going to get killed if I get near it.
00:42:56.000No, it's we got to do something about this.
00:42:58.000You know, maybe the transmission is a little bit old on this old rickety country, and you gotta take it apart, clean it out, and reconstruct it, you know what I mean?
00:43:54.000They've already written articles saying Ron DeSantis is worse than Trump.
00:43:58.000Numerous- They will, of course they will.
00:43:59.000So, if the argument is that Trump winning escalates it, well, they're claiming Ron DeSantis is worse than Trump, so wouldn't that escalate it more?
00:44:07.000One article doesn't mean they all believe that.
00:44:08.000It's not one article, it's numerous articles from numerous personalities all coming out in lockstep, knowing, over the past several months, they're saying Ron DeSantis is even worse than Trump, Ron DeSantis is, he's got the sly, slick tongue which makes him even more dangerous.
00:44:22.000Like, they said Trump was worse than Hitler how many times?
00:44:26.000If that's the escalation they have, Trump is bad.
00:44:28.000They're trying to claim DeSantis is worse and they've been doing it for months.
00:44:32.000If DeSantis wins, it's the same thing.
00:44:55.000Amendment for term limits on the deep state.
00:44:58.000I don't see how any of these things stop the escalation.
00:45:02.000A convention of states would be the same thing as Trump getting elected.
00:45:05.000If we could get the governors together and actually be able to convene on a regular basis, enough of us governance, we could take control and solve a lot of issues, I think.
00:45:14.000I think it's mostly a cultural thing anyway.
00:45:16.000It's like we all know, politics is downstream of culture.
00:45:18.000It won't change until the culture changes.
00:45:20.000The culture, it can't be changed because there's two distinct, fortified cultures.
00:45:58.000I don't see how you convince when right now you've got Twitter and Reddit saying you can't call people groomers and you've actually got people grooming children.
00:46:09.000You've got a government administration official saying we should give sex change surgery to children.
00:46:19.000My concern is, again, just speaking as an outsider, I don't comment on American politics in the sense that I don't live here, I don't pay taxes here, it's your country, you do with it what you want.
00:46:28.000But the conversation I'm hearing here and with a lot of other people that I meet is like this conversation takes you to a point of no return.
00:47:29.000So, it doesn't matter what you're interested in because we're going to take it anyway, and if you don't listen, we're going to throw a brick through your window.
00:47:33.000That's the point being made right now in the United States.
00:47:36.000So, when someone comes out and says, we should be able to terminate a viable baby at eight months, if we want to or not, There's literally no compromise.
00:48:17.000But Roe v. Wade made it so you couldn't ban abortion pre-viability.
00:48:21.000So it was initially a trimester standard changed to a viability standard.
00:48:26.000Democrats tried codifying a bill that would allow for—I shouldn't say elective—abortion in the instance of health of the mother up to nine months.
00:49:35.000There's no circumstance where... Well, so the compromise was the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
00:49:41.000Conservatives saying, how about your state can do what you want, our state can do what we want.
00:49:45.000The problem there is that's one more domino being knocked over towards a civil war.
00:49:49.000Because the scenario I've presented is what happens when a man and a woman hook up, woman gets pregnant, and then eight months later, she says, you know what?
00:50:06.000They have an abortion trafficking law, meaning that if you aid or traffic in abortion abortificiants or tools or helping someone get an abortion, it's a crime.
00:50:15.000How will Texas deal with the fact that there's a man saying, she kidnapped my baby at eight months gestation who's viable and could survive?
00:50:22.000If we just deliver instead of killing it, I'll take it.
00:50:28.000What happens when she flees to Colorado for an eight-month elective abortion, which she can get, and the father in Texas says, Texas government, please help.
00:50:41.000I mean, the way I see it is, trying to explain it to pro-choice people would be, imagine a woman kidnapped a baby the day it was born and then went to a state where they were going to let her chop its head off.
00:50:55.000The conservative pro-life people view it the exact same way when it's in the womb at eight months versus when it's out of the womb at eight months.
00:51:02.000So what do you do when there's no federal intervention and the states are forced to decide how do we save that child from execution?
00:53:00.000We had a guy on from the Tavistock Clinic in the UK on my show on trigonometry, who was basically a whistleblower saying what was happening in this clinic.
00:53:16.000People are actually getting to a healthier position on that issue.
00:53:19.000And I think we're making progress, right?
00:53:21.000So I do think shining a light on some of this stuff will help over time.
00:53:26.000But if you want an instant solution, yeah, you're not going to get it.
00:53:29.000So, I'm not saying there's an instant solution, I'm saying you go to someone and tell them something very simple like, hey, I don't think children can consent to this stuff, I don't think they know, and they call you a transphobic and try to get you banned.
00:54:00.000You're not going to get straight to where you want to go right away.
00:54:03.000But we're seeing people winning cases in court, saying that, for example, the belief, I don't know if you followed in my four starter case, It was a case in the UK where basically she was, I think, fired or denied a promotion because she said that trans women aren't women or something like that.
00:54:20.000And the court actually found in favor of her and it's now a protected philosophical belief or whatever.
00:54:24.000So you can make progress by what we're doing here, which is having a conversation, exposing certain things to the light.
00:55:12.000We have a problem in the UK now because what happened was Boris Johnson resigns.
00:55:16.000The way that the elections happen is the MPs, the members of Parliament, pick the two top nominees and then members of the party pick from out of those two.
00:55:26.000And what they did of course is they had a great candidate who was super popular with the membership.
00:56:55.000I say, please just leave me alone over and over and over again.
00:56:58.000And then I'm told, well, if you don't talk to these people and what's to talk about at this point, I retreated and they're still burning down, throwing bricks through windows and trying to assassinate people.
00:57:39.000Those people are the vast, overwhelming, silent majority, right?
00:57:43.000And I think they're coming over to our side with every single one of these instances that you're talking about.
00:57:49.000And to me, I don't want to talk to the crazies on either side.
00:57:53.000I'm interested how do we get the sensible people in the middle to see sense, to stop legislating for all this crap that we've got going on, and actually have policies that make sense for the majority of the people in this country.
00:58:05.000Because the majority of people in any country are not crazy.
00:58:09.000And this is why we may be seeing a red tsunami in November that Latinos, for instance, in the Rio Grande Valley, they're all, but this is the election of Trump.
00:58:19.000This is the election of Trump supporters and Trump Republicans, his endorsements.
00:58:24.000Do you know what his ratio is on endorsements?
01:00:19.000It was like $2.13 national average, but we saw it go down to like $1.50 in some areas.
01:00:23.000Yeah, people at this point are going to be like, don't take a ham sandwich over the Democrats.
01:00:26.000But what do you think happens with the wealthy elites in the Democratic Party who know they're facing probably criminal investigation and prosecution like Hunter Biden?
01:00:50.000But look, come back to my point, which I think is actually... You tell me how true it is, because I don't know that much about the United States.
01:00:57.000But I do believe there's a sensible majority of people in the middle who are there to be won over by either side, either side, as long as they start talking sense on a lot of these issues.
01:01:11.000It depends on the data that you look at.
01:01:13.000Right now, I think the latest data I saw in factioning, it's a bell curve.
01:01:18.000So it's actually not 80% are in the middle.
01:01:21.000It's 30, you know, 20 to 30 percent are in the actual middle, and then you have left-leaning, right-leaning, then you have left-right, then you have hard-left, hard-right.
01:01:31.000What we saw with Pew was that the sideliners, the regular people, are actually, you know, I think it was like 15 to 20 percent, and they're center-right.
01:01:40.000So like, it's obvious when you look at what the left is, that regular people would be center-right relative to them, because you need a baseline for what the left is, and clearly the regular people aren't there.
01:01:53.000But I think these people for the most part still aren't wanting to vote outside of the Democrats or vote for anything.
01:02:00.000We saw this in 2018 when I think it was 31 moderate Democrats got elected in Trump districts because they promised to actually entertain real issues and then they just went for impeachment and they just became culture warriors and it was like abandoning regular people.
01:02:14.000But I don't know if these people... I'll put it this way.
01:02:46.000Maybe this is the way in which our countries are different, but I do think that one of the reasons people on the center-left would never vote Republican in the conception of it as it has been is because of the way that Trump was.
01:02:59.000They may well vote for someone who's a little bit more, not sensible necessarily in terms of policy, but sensible in terms of the way that they comport themselves.
01:03:07.000Because you know that triggers the hell out of them.
01:03:12.000We need to fire the administrative state.
01:03:15.000It is the biggest threat to this country, in my opinion.
01:03:19.000The swamp does not convey the slime and putrescence of the corruption in this country.
01:03:25.000I don't think you can fire them, though.
01:03:27.000I agree that it's a problem, for sure, but if you go up and you're like, I want all 10,000 of you to be fired tomorrow, they're like, well, we control all the spy networks and all the sub-military machines Like, you really want us to, you're really going to try and get us, dude?
01:03:49.000Those are the people that run the shadow government, basically.
01:03:52.000Trump wants to appoint a new head of the CIA and FBI that's different from the general civil servants, the two million of which operate in all facets of government.
01:04:02.000And yes, Trump's attempt was to schedule F them so they would be fired.
01:04:05.000So my point is, rather than be like, you're all done tomorrow, be like, you've got term limits now.
01:04:10.000You've got two more years to finish out your term.
01:04:12.000Well, the idea would be to fire the people who are redundant and replace them.
01:04:17.000Wait, if they're redundant, you wouldn't replace them?
01:04:22.000I'm open to that, but we should cycle them out in two years, rather than come in and be like, tomorrow's... I don't think he would really, all in one day, be like, everyone go, but I think it would be in quick succession.
01:04:32.000That's why I gave, like I was saying, if he can do it in one, his first year, let's say Trump gets reelected, all of 2024, he's cleaning house, you know?
01:05:09.000Yeah, like anybody else in this country.
01:05:10.000I am concerned with what you're saying, Hannah-Claire, about who's coming in next because, and I don't want to be too hard on Trump, but one of the things that really bothered me about Trump was the way he handled COVID and how he just handed power to Fauci and was like, this unelected body can now control the whims of the people and make decisions.
01:05:27.000I don't want Fauci in this medical industry deciding what I have to do with my daily life.
01:05:33.000Medical tyranny is as dangerous as banking tyranny or as martial tyranny in a lot of ways.
01:05:37.000What bothers me more about it is who is attracted to that kind of bureaucratic federal position.
01:05:42.000I mean in some ways you're not running for office, you're getting appointed and maybe you lead a department and you oversee the budget and you get to sign the paperwork that can really make a tremendous difference in people's lives.
01:07:38.000The sentiment in Maryland was to join the South, but They just couldn't do it for a lot of reasons.
01:07:45.000One was that the union went in and arrested 31 reps in the state who supported secession, and the rest were like, well, do whatever you say, man.
01:07:53.000And then Lincoln suspended Hapia's corpus in the corridor from D.C.
01:07:56.000through Maryland up to Pennsylvania so they could arrest whoever they wanted without charge or trial.
01:09:11.000And then goes to provide aid to Texas.
01:09:14.000One by one, you'll see dominoes falling down.
01:09:15.000No, I hear what you're saying and this is why we're having this conversation because what I'm saying is people in positions like yours and mine who are having conversations about these issues, I think the way we've got to look at it is what is the outcome that we're trying to achieve or the outcome that we're at least trying to prevent, right?
01:09:29.000Now, if we accept that civil war is bad, do we accept that?
01:09:44.000It is, especially with Antifa, these people have never seen grievous injury.
01:09:49.000I will say trigger warning for people listening, because I know there are people who have dealt with real trauma, and I mean like a real trigger, not some stupid, you know, oh, it's offensive word, no.
01:10:00.000I've seen people whose legs have been turned into ground shuck, and the feeling you get when you see that kind of stuff, or the feeling you get when I saw, the first time I saw a dead person being carted away from me in a conflict, It's a feeling that I'd never felt before.
01:10:19.00027 years old, and I was like, this is an emotion I've never experienced.
01:10:22.000Now, I imagine back in the day, it's an emotion people experienced quite a bit, because people died, you know, in front of them, and there was war, and we grew up in this safety bubble.
01:10:31.000So I tell you, when these Antifa people actually see it in front of them, when they start to see that, it's going to change, it's going to twist their brains in ways they did not expect, the feeling they get.
01:10:40.000But it may make many of them more radical.
01:11:25.000I agree with the strategy and it, you know, some people say it's pessimistic when I'm like, I think it may be inevitable or the dominoes are falling over and that seems to be the outcome or We're in some kind of civil war, as it is.
01:11:43.000So, when we were starting, when we were expanding the company, I took a look at a bunch of what other companies had done.
01:11:49.000And you look at every single commentary and podcasting network, and what do they do?
01:11:54.000They load up on commentators and get a big roster of commentators who all have similar opinions.
01:11:59.000That's not what we did, because my goal isn't just to make money, my goal is to affect change.
01:12:02.000So the first thing we did, I think the first show we launched was Tales from the Inverted World, which is paranormal true crime mystery with Shane Cashman.
01:12:08.000Because I said, what we want to do is we want to create a space where people who are hearing nothing but this stuff can kind of chill out with fun entertainment.
01:12:18.000So we're not just creating a hyper-polarized commentary space.
01:12:21.000We launched Cask Castle, comedy and silliness.
01:12:25.000We launched Pop Culture Crisis, conversations about celebrities and gossip, so that it's an eclectic space.
01:12:31.000So people who are worried about this stuff that we're talking about, They'll have a space to actually talk about normal things.
01:12:36.000And the culture we want to build excludes the woke insanity in Antifa.
01:12:40.000They won't be a part of the world that we're trying to create.
01:12:43.000So what I'm hoping to do is... We're running ads right now.
01:12:46.000We just launched one simple ad so far as a trial run for Tales from the Inverted World.
01:12:51.000We saw tremendous, tremendous results among 18 to 24 year old men and 65 and up women.
01:12:59.000So 18 to 24 year old men, we get 18 to 54 year old men on this show really, really well with the spike being I think 25 to 34.
01:13:09.00018 to 24 is low, so getting a big response on Tales from the Inverted World is huge on 65 year old women.
01:13:14.000Not to mention, women across the board really responded well in the ads.
01:13:18.000The reason this is good is, I want people to come to Timcast.
01:13:22.000I want them to see these stories and be pulled away from Disney and Netflix and Hulu and the weird woke stuff.
01:13:27.000And then just watch Pop Culture Crisis and Cast Castle and the other shows we're going to launch, comedy specials.
01:13:32.000I don't want to bring them into a space that is dominated by conservatives or even libertarians screaming the end is nigh.
01:13:40.000It is bad enough that that's what we're essentially doing, so we want to create a space that slowly starts carving out Something that's more relaxing.
01:13:58.000You can scream about politics all day long and you can change some things but culture, that's where you get masses of people who are not political but who do, you know, they feel like they can't say what they think at work or they've got some kind of other issue going on and they don't want to be a sort of culture warrior or in this space.
01:14:16.000That's why we do our raw shows and we make fun of everybody left and right because that's how I think you get people to that from that middle to that middle.
01:14:24.000And I think it's really great that you're doing that.
01:15:13.000And maybe there won't be a great flood, but we'll have this big, really cool community space that people can come hang out in.
01:15:19.000If the end result is the world falls apart and everyone's fighting, well, TimCast.com will still be producing a plethora of content from a variety of subjects.
01:15:28.000We are going to be launching more political shows of slightly different political persuasions, but still similarly in the libertarian kind of space.
01:15:36.000But I don't want to just do a bunch of shows about politics.
01:15:40.000Like, we have a show we talk about politics.
01:15:43.000We want people to be able to just get a... I want people to say, Disney+, get woke, go broke, I don't like this, I'm gonna give my money to TimCast.com instead.
01:16:19.000There are people who become members because they believe in the mission, but that's not enough.
01:16:24.000What we need to do is just have the better show.
01:16:26.000We need to get a show, we need to get to the point where we have a comedy special, and then people are like, they go into work one day, and they're like, oh, did you watch that new show?
01:17:34.000I remember when they brought in the woman to be the first female doctor.
01:17:39.000And then what I had heard was that the show basically became Magic School Bus.
01:17:42.000So, like, instead of an episode where they go to a... The one episode I really remember fondly was when the robots had killed everybody, and they had the smiles.
01:17:58.000But the robots all had smiley faces, and the robots killed anybody who was sad to stop sadness from spreading.
01:18:05.000And that was like an interesting plot.
01:18:07.000And then what I heard when they brought in the woman, the plot lines were like going to India to talk about partition and like colonialism.
01:18:16.000And it was like, okay, you know, I want to see a dragon fight a time wizard, not learn a history lesson.
01:19:08.000But the youngest generation of, I think, Americans, I don't know if the poll was done globally, they said if they could only have one social media platform, they'd have YouTube.
01:19:17.000And YouTube, I mean, you are probably a great example of this, has so many different creators.
01:19:24.000You know, if you are interested in something, any niche thing out there, you can find it.
01:19:28.000I mean, TikTok has really evolved into this too, but this poll was done, I think, in 2017, and they all pick YouTube.
01:19:35.000They watch YouTube more than they watch television.
01:19:38.000And again, that is specific power to creators to be able to reach an audience that is really interested in what they have.
01:19:44.000Real quick, there's something interesting too that I want to mention that we talked about earlier today, because we've heavily focused on treating Timcast like a subscription service.
01:19:53.000The goal is just to make content that's sustainable, and some people have pointed out we could put our episodes on other platforms.
01:20:02.000Instead of requiring a membership, you could just buy the episode for a couple bucks or something, and I was like, that's actually a really good idea.
01:20:07.000So there's still a way for some of our content to be on these big platforms in a way that they're supported.
01:20:13.000But I will I will add to that idea too because people mentioned it like hey, can you make the Tim cast uncensored segments?
01:20:19.000You know available for one-off purchase and it's like we don't know we don't have the tech on down the website We could build that and we can't do it on YouTube because YouTube would ban us So what we're trying to do with YouTube is effectively a be a pipeline where?
01:20:33.000Someone on YouTube will see us they can come to the website and get unfiltered uncensored content Bingo.
01:20:38.000And this is what I think is happening in the media online space.
01:20:42.000It's kind of like when the printing press was invented.
01:20:44.000Before that, the church had complete control over literature, which was the Bible basically, right?
01:20:49.000Then the printing press comes along, and suddenly you've got the ability to make a newspaper.
01:20:53.000And a lot of the people who now own a newspaper are not people who had any control over that space before, right?
01:20:59.000So you've got essentially the same thing happening now, where people like us are creating new platforms now.
01:21:06.000You're going to get your own platform where you've got the entertainment, you've got the comedy, you've got the movies, you've got the political analysis.
01:21:12.000And I think a lot of the companies that are going to get built in the next five years, they're going to be the next big things that actually end up being some of the biggest contributors to the space.
01:21:34.000And so I'm not going to claim that the shows we have on TimCats.com are the greatest shows of all time.
01:21:40.000No, they're better than that, and everybody should sign up.
01:21:44.000I think we start, it's a little rough, and we're trying to just earn our place into doing better and better and better and figuring out what works.
01:21:58.000But compared to what Amazon and Netflix and Hulu pay for shows, I'm just like, we can sustain a full show with only a few thousand paying members.
01:22:08.000Whereas Netflix has like, what, a ridiculous, like tens of millions or something like that.
01:22:12.000And then their shows, they're like, it costs us millions to make.
01:22:36.000So if there are people who like the show, and there are people who like the job, and that's the best the show can do, why cancel it?
01:22:41.000And then I look at these other networks and they cancel it, and I'm like, I don't know.
01:22:44.000If the fans sustain the show, the show can be forever.
01:22:47.000This is what's interesting about the way the model used to be that TV shows on cable needed a certain number of viewers, otherwise they were canceled.
01:22:54.000And the fans would be like, no, don't cancel.
01:22:56.000They'd say, sorry, 300,000 fans isn't enough because the ad dollars doesn't pay for this show.
01:23:01.000If those 300,000 fans paid $10 a month for the show, the show would be making a massive profit.
01:23:07.000And then they'd be able to make the show even better.
01:23:09.000I think this is why The Daily Wire made the big shift, and they're focusing on VOD content, because they were like, you don't need that many people to support you to make a massive platform and be successful.
01:23:29.000I was like, you know, we've been treating it like a bakery trying to give away a million free cakes and then telling a business, but we'll put your name on the cake and pay for us instead of just being like, hey, the cake costs five bucks.
01:23:55.000And this is how you change the culture.
01:23:57.000And that's why I'm going to make you an optimist by the end of this conversation.
01:24:00.000This is how you change the culture and then things will change.
01:24:03.000Well, so, I guess my point is, I'm not entirely convinced that what's to come is going to be, when I say civil war, I don't know if it's going to be the way people, the way it used to be.
01:24:15.000Like, a fifth generational civil war is people posting memes online.
01:24:21.000The fact that we do shows, we argue our points, and other people go on TV and lie and try to manipulate, that could be the extent to which war exists internally in the modern era.
01:24:31.000Because violence actually turns people off.
01:24:33.000When Black Lives Matter, after George Floyd was killed, Black Lives Matter net support hit like 50-something percent.
01:24:48.000And so I'm like, you know what does work is false flags, like framing your enemy, or you just make something more fun, more entertaining, and something people want to be a part of.
01:24:58.000So it could be that the conflict we're in, this is the peak culmination of it, and it doesn't get to the point where it's, you know, people shooting each other or something.
01:25:05.000Yeah, even I'm not that optimistic, but I hear what you're saying, yeah.
01:25:37.000Like people are sitting in a fake place where they don't hang out and it's fake in every way, right?
01:25:42.000And what happens with podcasting and things like that is we kind of weaponized authenticity.
01:25:47.000Like people watching the show know that I'm saying what I'm saying because that's what I believe and you're saying what you're saying because that's what you believe.
01:25:52.000And they may dislike what I'm saying or they may dislike what you're saying but they at least know it's authentic.
01:25:57.000So the internet has enabled that authenticity in a way that wasn't possible before and that's what's making the difference and that's why people will happily pay a subscription fee for something otherwise they would never pay for.
01:26:06.000It's like reality TV was just literally not reality?
01:26:18.000And then usually it's really funny because when we're getting ready we're doing pre-production for the show We have conversations that I'm like, we probably could have recorded and just used because it was really good.
01:26:27.000We never let our guests talk about anything before we do the interview because that's where the interesting stuff always gets said if we're not recording.
01:26:34.000Well for us, it's mostly current events.
01:26:38.000So we just have the news stories lined up and then we're like, we can talk about whatever.
01:26:42.000For depending on the guests, one thing we try to do is like, if the guest has a specialty or a certain thing they really want to hit on, then we'll do news.
01:26:50.000And then at nine, we'll get half an hour in of just like, which reminds me, you have a book you do.
01:26:57.000Well, I talk about growing up in the Soviet Union, I talk about my grandmother being born in the Gulag, I talk about my grandfather being a slave during those times and I'm trying to, well not trying to, I'm contrasting many of the things that I see in modern society in the West now with the things that my family went through and I'm saying Like I've been saying to you, and you agree with me, this is not a good path to go down.
01:27:20.000And most people don't understand that the path we're going down has... You know, all Eastern Europeans I talk to in the West, they all say the same thing.
01:28:04.000And so when I see the shutting down of freedom of conversation, the shutting down of freedom of research, the inability of scientists to say their opinion about a medical treatment or whatever, That worries me not because I'm just like I am in favor of that treatment or against that treatment.
01:28:18.000I'm just worried because to me that's like an alarm bell.
01:28:23.000And the same thing, you know, my grandfather, I talk about this in the book, he was a Soviet dissident, you could say.
01:28:29.000He said in the 1980s that the Soviet Union was wrong to invade Afghanistan.
01:28:34.000Immediately lost his job, ostracized by his friends, many of whom, Tim, you'll like this, by the way, said, no, no, we agree with you, we just can't do it in public.
01:28:42.000Did you see the cartoon where the guy's burning the woman at the stake?
01:29:25.000And this is one, you know, the last part of the book, my warning to people, and this is why I'm trying to hit that middleman, because you're not going to get the crazies on either side.
01:29:37.000But the vast majority of people you can persuade, and that's what, you know, I'm trying to tell them the story.
01:29:42.000So my grandmother, born in a gulag, and I don't know if you know this, but once you were released from the gulag, You wouldn't be allowed to live in any major city in the country.
01:29:52.000You had to live in a small town in the countryside.
01:29:56.000And the only people that lived in these Siberian towns or the miles out of the way of anything were former guards from the gulags and former prisoners.
01:30:57.000I'm sure some of those guards shot themselves because they were scared of what other people would do to them when they found out what they were doing.
01:31:02.000I don't think they were, man, because nothing happened to them.
01:31:04.000They just realized what they'd been a part of.
01:31:07.000And this is what I'm saying to people who are going along with, whether it's cancel culture or demonizing people or attacking people online.
01:31:13.000Like, we have a friend in London, we had him on the show, James Caverini.
01:31:17.000He runs the oldest family-run Italian restaurant in London.
01:31:20.000He did a fundraiser for Ukrainian orphans with J.K.
01:32:49.000And that's why I'm saying you're not going to reach a person like that because by virtue of the psychology, trauma, experience, whatever you want to call it.
01:34:19.000I have friends who are relatively woke.
01:34:22.000These are people I knew from a long time ago in Chicago.
01:34:25.000And then the last time I went on Rogan, You look at their profiles, and it's BLM, it's the Black Square, it's Pride Flags, and they're hitting me up saying, like, that was awesome, you're so great, like, it's good to hear from you.
01:34:35.000And then I'm just like, it's weird to me because, like, all of the stuff you believe in, but you heard me and you understand that, like, I wonder if that's gonna change your mind.
01:34:43.000But at the very least, they listen to Rogan, they trust Rogan, they believe.
01:34:47.000That's why I'm optimistic somewhat, because do you know how many people I get that I used to gig with on the comedy circuit?
01:34:53.000Who hated me, who complained about me, who criticized me when I turned down this contract, blah blah blah.
01:34:59.000Do you know how many of them hit me up now going, oh, I love your show?
01:35:05.000Not all of them, but a lot of them, right?
01:35:08.000So I think that there is a sensible majority to be won over.
01:35:11.000That's what I believe, and that's what I'm trying to do.
01:35:13.000We're gonna go to superchats and I really I want to give a quick shout out to Adrienne Curry because we're big fans and she said reality TV was reality until 2003 then it died.
01:35:32.000So I explain this to people about YouTube.
01:35:34.000You'd see these videos on YouTube where like a guy saves a homeless person and it's like he brings them food and they hug and it's like, oh, and he gets 10 million views.
01:35:44.000She's got a year in jail, a year in prison because she faked, the homeless man gave me $20, his last 20 so I could eat and it was a scam and they raised money.
01:35:52.000What happens is these YouTubers were like, somebody made a real video where they're like, I'm gonna go help homeless people.
01:35:58.000And then they filmed it and put it up and it was okay.
01:36:00.000And then someone else said, why bother trying to find a homeless person when I can pay a guy 20 bucks to pretend to be homeless and get it done in an hour.
01:36:06.000So they just started faking it because it was faster and easier.
01:36:09.000But let's read some super chats, everybody!
01:36:12.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com, become a member to support us for everything I explained a moment ago.
01:36:23.000We've got Tales from the Inverted World.
01:36:26.000It's a fascinating show to put on on like a Sunday night with the lights turned low, and you're getting ready for bed, and you just let it play, and it's a spooky story, and it's fun stuff.
01:37:19.000Oh, that'll be interesting, I suppose.
01:37:22.000AOC advocated for using heat-resistant gloves in protests, so, you know.
01:37:26.000Grofty says love you all buck buck buck in the ad we have with Roberto jr.
01:37:29.000on it it just very quickly says buck buck buck down like the side like in really small and then it's two ads actually so the one on the right side is the cartoon version of Roberto and Roberto jr.
01:37:39.000and the anime fighting it's really funny I'm really excited for that all right Were you always a big chicken fan?
01:40:15.000So Michael Svetov is a Russian YouTuber and I think politician and he interviewed me a couple of times about how I see what's happening in Russia, Ukraine.
01:42:08.000So basically Boris Yeltsin, who was the president before him, needed someone to replace him that had no power.
01:42:15.000That had no power because anyone who came in who already had power, the first thing they do is they put Yeltsin in prison, confiscate all his ill-gotten gains, etc.
01:42:23.000So he found this guy that nobody had heard of.
01:42:25.000Like Vladimir Putin in Russia before he became president had less profile than anyone in this room has in America right now.
01:42:41.000And then right before the election, Yeltsin said, actually, I'm a bit ill.
01:42:46.000Why doesn't this nice guy take over and see what we can do?
01:42:49.000And that's what he then did with Medvedev as well, remember that?
01:42:52.000So Putin serves a couple of terms, that's when he's supposed to leave, he puts Medvedev in place, Medvedev comes in, changes all the laws so Putin can serve more longer terms, and then they do the switcheroo back.
01:43:30.000But things got so soft and so protected in the United States that we had a period where nothing was happening and we were like, this is great.
01:44:20.000If a guy goes up on stage holding cat ears, if that's what they're called, and reaches around for someone's neck or whatever, you're allowed to interpret that.
01:44:29.000That being said, if it turns out I'm wrong, outright okay.
01:44:34.000But this is not a Covington Catholic situation where we got a small snippet.
01:44:39.000I watched the video of the guy walk up on stage and go around and reach around and I saw the thing in his hands and then I read the reports and I'm like, I don't know what he was trying to do.
01:44:48.000So I understand maybe why it was second degree attempted assault and that does explain it.
01:44:51.000So, you know, I will accept that for sure.
01:44:53.000I still think we got to be careful with this stuff, right?
01:44:59.000I just don't think I really want this scenario playing out all the time.
01:45:02.000Like this is wild that he just like strolled onto stage and was like, I'm going to carry a weapon and that's, that's okay.
01:45:08.000And if his intent really was to try and do a slow roll, you know, neck shot or something, but masquerade as, I'm just going for the microphone.
01:45:47.000C Recipe says, I had almost 300,000 subs and 60 million views on YouTube, and they deleted my channel, Just Informed Talk, two weeks before 2020 election in YouTube purge.
01:45:57.000I've started over with a cooking show, Sea Recipes.
01:46:57.000I just think, like, even if an alien life form comes down and they seem peaceful, like, they are so fundamentally different from us, like, do we really think it would be a sustainable pairing forever?
01:47:06.000Like, what if they eat their young and they're like, but we just eat our own.
01:47:15.000Alright, Tyler Price says the Aztecs and them believed the Spanish were the return of Quetzalcoatl, one of their gods that was prophesied to come back, then were slaughtered.
01:47:24.000Yes, and the Aztecs also did ritualistic human sacrifice too, so it's like just a couple of bad groups of people.
01:47:30.000It's kind of why you also want to shake out of like fantasy mode of any kind, whether it's like, whatever you believe, guy in the sky floating down.
01:47:37.000Like if aliens do come, don't mistake it for like God.
01:47:40.000Cause that's like, we got to take it very seriously.
01:47:42.000It could be an invading force, but also don't be flipped out by the, when CNN tells you there's an invading force.
01:48:03.000Araftis of Stet says, my dog Roxy just died today and I just wanted everyone to know she was the best little dog in the world and I'll miss her.
01:48:51.000But that's why I never used, when we were having that conversation, I never used the word compromise, because I don't think it's about compromising with the woke extremists.
01:48:58.000I think it's about hitting that sensible middle that I was talking about, right?
01:49:02.000You're never gonna compromise with the extremists on either side, because it's not possible.
01:50:43.000You know, the thing about billboards is they're like extremely regionally, you know, targeting and it's like, is Rhode Island really gonna, you know, is that really a market we should be buying ads in?
01:52:28.000And so the thing is, someone pointed out that there's a Resident Evil TikTok for their ad in Times Square, and you can see the edge of the Timcast one in it.
01:53:49.000Storm Viking says Chris Hayes on MSNBC just was lying through his whole segment, saying the Capitol officer was killed by rioters and saying Donald Trump didn't condemn the rioting.
01:54:07.000Apparently the New York Times, they ran a story about the cop having the stroke or whatever.
01:54:11.000The narrative was that he was hitting that with a fire extinguisher and then you find out later it's just like, it wasn't true.
01:54:16.000He had like a stroke the next day and they're like, oh!
01:54:18.000Well then for a while they were saying like, the stress of the day's events triggered these things that wouldn't have happened without them.
01:54:36.000James Nelson says, once he declares, start naming appointees he would put in place and have them start lining up staff so day one they can swap out the corrupt lifers, then move agencies to cities across America.
01:55:24.000So what happened was basically for decades, gangs of men predominantly of South Asian background.
01:55:30.000So I think Pakistani and Bangladeshi, I think.
01:55:34.000were basically finding vulnerable predominantly white and Sikh girls who were not adults usually and raping them for years.
01:55:47.000There were a few that were actually killed during this process and what compounded that problem is the police, the local councils, the authorities, they didn't do anything about it because of quote-unquote sensitivities about race.
01:56:05.000We interviewed a woman, a brave woman called Dr. Ella Hill, who was one of the victims of these.
01:56:11.000So the video is on our channel about it.
01:56:14.000Yeah, well, it's a terrible thing and it happened.
01:56:17.000I think it's still happening to some extent.
01:56:20.000But again, It takes time and it's awful that it happened, but we are, even on that issue, slowly making a bit of progress because now it's being talked about.
01:56:29.000But I remember Tommy Robinson, what was he there for?
01:56:32.000He was there when they were sentencing or something like that?
01:58:30.000I would love to get, I mean, we've had atheists on the show.
01:58:32.000We've literally, the quotes I've made about the atheists we've had, I'm sorry, the quotes I've said about atheists have been the ones who are on the show and said things.
01:58:41.000But, none of these people I think were like, atheists, theologians, or, you know, religious scholars.
02:00:49.000You know, I think we're approaching like 35 employees, and so we need managerial power, but then managerial power costs a lot of money, and so it's like we can only grow as fast as we can grow, and I'll put it this way, if we had the Roku apps, we'd probably get way more members.
02:01:03.000To make the Roku app, we need to grow to a point where we can hire a couple devs to build it out, and so we're bursting at the seams.
02:01:12.000We can only go as fast as humans can go, and budget constraints allow.
02:01:16.000And as you expand, you grow in every direction.
02:01:18.000So it's like we get a dev, we get Roku, all of a sudden now we need content to fill it, so we, you know, we just start expanding.
02:01:23.000Long story short, we want Roku, we want Chromecast, we want Apple, we want LGTV, Samsung TV, all those apps take a long time to do, and we need a mobile app.
02:01:35.000That fell through because we were a relatively small operation, and we are... I imagine it like we have a 10-ton boulder with a chain, and we are pulling that boulder uphill.
02:02:04.000So I will say this, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.
