On this week's show, the boys talk about the new vaccine mandate in D.C. and why they think it's going to kill us. They also discuss the latest in the Elon Musk vs. Joe Biden debate, and some stories from around the country.
00:01:18.000I wanna talk about the story with Elon Musk.
00:01:19.000He's saying that he is paying more taxes than anyone in history, which is effectively defanging a lot of these leftist arguments against him.
00:01:27.000And then we've got some, I don't know.
00:04:41.000I've just been feeling better, I've been skating better, and the weird thing was, and this should be fairly obvious, when there was like, I think it was, we did a little party, And there was some, you know, sugar and people are like, you can have a cheat day, it's no big deal.
00:04:52.000The next day it was like being smacked in the face with a 2x4.
00:04:55.000And I'm like, dude, I'm not doing that again.

00:05:43.000And I know who they are and what they do, and I'm like, man, we got a lot of people working here.
00:05:49.000But I'll tell you this, most of the people who are working here, they're doing editorial stuff, they're doing journalism, they're doing fact-checking, and then we have a couple other shows, and it really is about expanding and doing more work and making sure that you as members are helping us to make sure we build a powerful foundation and I mean, look, I'll just say it for better or for worse.
00:06:11.000Become the dominant, you know, media institutions.
00:06:15.000And maybe at some point we will have to be supplanted by someone else, but for the time being the establishment is broken and that's what we seek to challenge, and with your help we will do it.
00:06:23.000So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and I know there's already people putting in a bunch of super chats.
00:06:29.000And they're saying that, you know, we've got to read them because there was an issue with Jack last week on Elijah and Sidney Watson's show.
00:06:37.000And look, I'll say first and foremost, we're not a drama channel.
00:06:56.000Like, if you have legitimate questions and legitimate conversation to be had that will move things forward, definitely we'll be into it.
00:07:01.000If you're posting memes and jokes and, like, having a laugh or whatever, we'll read one or two maybe, but I'm not gonna read for half an hour because you guys want to make, you know, jokes or whatever.
00:07:11.000Like, I mean, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything.
00:07:13.000The goal of the show has always been can we like maximize the conversation and get the best ideas across as possible.
00:07:19.000And I think that's why we get so many super chats because people are usually offering up really good questions and helping us have that conversation.
00:07:25.000So I just try to keep, I try to stay out of the weeds.
00:07:30.000There are a lot of YouTubers They talk about me all day.
00:07:33.000They're like, oh, Dimple did this, Dimple did that, and you know, the Young Turks did it recently, and I'm like, I don't, I don't, I'd rather not do that.
00:07:39.000I'd rather talk about the things that are impacting our lives, the things that are causing us strife, the things we need to overcome, what we can do to improve ourselves, and typically, things that just I feel like are important, worth talking about.
00:07:51.000So we'll, we'll, we'll address it simply because I think it, you know, should be because, you know, people are asking for it, but I will say for the most part, Don't expect we're going to have some ridiculous, I don't know, joke fest where we just make fun of people or anything like that.
00:08:03.000But at any rate, if you want to get your Super Chats in, by all means, you're free to do so.
00:09:08.000Because that was one of the most villainous statements on vaccine mandates from any executive.
00:09:16.000I don't know, that one from Biden was pretty bad.
00:09:18.000They're like, if you don't get vaccinated, you face a long, dark, cold winter, and you're going to overwhelm the hospitals, and basically you're going to die.
00:09:25.000I don't, I don't, yes, it was bad, but I don't agree, right?
00:09:28.000When I, when I saw it, so that was from Zients or whatever, the Coronavirus Task Force guy on Biden's administration.
00:09:34.000He said, the unvaxxed can be expecting a winter of death and, you know, like suffering or whatever, because you'll overwhelm the hospitals.
00:09:41.000But that's more like, you know, I imagine that as, if I was watching a movie, There's like a hooded figure issuing like a prophetic warning and like shaking a bony finger.
00:10:10.000Bill de Blasio was like, we're going to take away your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness unless you inject yourself with this, you know, this medication.
00:11:06.000And, uh, you know, I wish people would understand that when they come at me about the vaccine, it's like, also I have split custody and this is a thing divorced families are facing all across the country where the parents don't agree on what to do about the vaccine.
00:11:18.000Well, now you, now there's no question.
00:11:40.000It's one thing to be like, if I want my kids to play sports, they got to get the vaccine because of these rules.
00:11:44.000Now they're just going to be like, if you want your kid to go to a restaurant, if you go to a gym, to go to the schools, to do any of that stuff, they have to be vaxxed.
00:11:49.000So it's either they stay at home all day or they get the vaccine.
00:11:53.000So I think that when it comes to a court, like a court argument where you're saying, you don't want your kids.
00:12:07.000And they give me a hard time about our conversation that we had a couple of months ago.
00:12:12.000And I'm just faced with the fact that I'm no longer and I'm no longer be able to go to restaurants, museum bars, nightclubs, theaters, music venues, whatever.
00:12:20.000And even in the adjacent counties, Montgomery County, Arlington County, they're going to be doing the same thing.
00:13:23.000I do have TSA Pre, so I don't have to take my shoes off when I go on the airlines, but I still watch all those people go through the line, taking off their shoes, taking their laptops out of their bag, all these things.
00:13:47.000And despite the fact that two CEOs of airlines came out and talked about how the air filters inside those planes make for like the cleanest possible air you could ever be in, possibly like takes out 99% of any possible COVID, uh, you know, infectious particles and whatnot.
00:14:02.000These things are never going to change.
00:14:53.000And so I bring this up because it should be true for anything, including, you know, the droplets.
00:14:58.000Yeah, you turn the fan on, you have it below next to you, and you got a little wind barrier pushing away the air, and it pulls in air from other directions.
00:15:04.000So not only that, but you're right, you got the filters in these airplanes.
00:15:48.000And then all of a sudden they're like, federal law says, there's no federal law.
00:15:52.000There's a federal law that grants the president right to issue executive orders, and the president issued an executive order, and now they're claiming a federal one.
00:16:00.000And this is emblematic of the problem of the bureaucratic state, where they create these vague laws, and then they empower this whole administrative state to then administer the laws in whatever way they see fit, and then they issue these rules, these mandates, and then the courts will adjudicate them, and effectively it becomes law at that point.
00:16:18.000But you have basically an army of technocrats deciding the way that we have to live our lives today, and it's out of the power of the legislature.
00:16:27.000Why hasn't Congress sat down and actually debated these very things on the floor of Congress and decided whether or not the people want to have that?
00:16:38.000You see the Babylon Bee article, it was like in terrible blow for democracy, majority representatives make decision for country or whatever.
00:16:47.000Right, they're blaming it all on the one West Virginia senator.
00:16:50.000And it's like, well, what about the other 50 guys that didn't vote for it as well?
00:17:08.000And the fact that they try to lay it all on him is just a ridiculous cop-out.
00:17:12.000It's part of the Olinsky strategy of isolating targets and funneling all of the energy onto them and hopefully making it personal and hopefully getting them to crack.
00:17:23.000It's in the book, Rules for Radicals, and they do it.
00:17:26.000They isolate people, they target them.
00:17:28.000Hell, I've seen people do that in my personal life.
00:18:16.000Yeah, I think the vaccine mandates will become law and people will get their routine injections and they're not, you know, give it five years and no one's going to even question it.
00:18:27.000And the reason is, I think you've got cult members and cowards, and that makes up the bulk of what this country is.
00:18:33.000So I can't remember who well first there was Clifton Duncan who had an amazing tweet
00:18:37.000He said something to the effect of my disdain for covid. It's has been you know
00:18:42.000Superseded by my by my disdain for those who know something is wrong and refuse to speak up. Yeah
00:18:47.000so, you know every single person who Watched this in in the beginning and said I'm not gonna I'm
00:18:55.000not gonna say anything I'm not going to put any risk to myself and are now suffering the consequences.
00:19:49.000Even in your own home, you must be vaccinated.
00:19:52.000So they're hiring inspectors to do research and track people down and then issue them a 3,600 euro fine every quarter if they do not get vaccinated.
00:20:00.000Well, in DC, not only now can they issue you a fine, but they can revoke your business and driver's licenses.
00:21:45.000Yeah, when Claire Lehman of Quillette Is one of the cheerleaders for arresting people without due process and bringing them to a camp and saying it's normal?
00:21:58.000Because she was posting Instagram pictures from like, I guess the Olympic team, like stayed there briefly and saying like, this is who's staying there, Timmy.
00:22:10.000Don't you want to be there with the hot babes?
00:22:11.000Do you remember when there was a hot minute when Quillette was like, oh, right on point, right on the cutting edge, like really doing the thing that they're supposed to do, really saying the right things, doing like actual science and thinking about it and reporting on real anti-woke stuff.
00:22:28.000And then now she's like, it's just the Olympic team, man.
00:22:40.000So they have these... Do you think she did that unwittingly or is she an agent now?
00:22:47.000I think she's scared that the state will take everything away from her.
00:22:52.000And she's in this position where she's not that famous, but she's famous enough, and she knows it.
00:22:57.000She knows her option is stand on principle and be persecuted, or get on your knees and fillet the state, and at least you'll be fed irregularly.
00:23:07.000Look, all this does is confirm to me that what we're doing in the liminal order even makes more sense.
00:23:11.000We're building an independent network separate from the institutions.
00:23:14.000We're finding ways to do our business with each other, invest in each other's companies.
00:23:18.000All this drama that's going on around me right now, I literally could not give one single F.
00:23:23.000Because all we're doing right now is like building businesses that are going to change the world.
00:23:27.000We're building ways that people can get independent access and direct access to beef.
00:23:34.000He's working on getting a way to get direct access from the consumers to the beef producers so we can cut out the middlemen.
00:23:41.000We're trying to find all kinds of ways to solve education problems, communications problems, Because you're going to have to get meaning, safety, security, entertainment, culture, and arts all from independent networks instead of the institutions.
00:23:56.000Because institutions want you fat, sick, jailed, or you know, tied to your desk in debt for the rest of your life.
00:26:37.000They are absolutely going to go national with the mandates.
00:26:40.000I don't see the red states escaping this.
00:26:45.000But at the very least, you know, in West Virginia, we are so far removed from everything that I really don't see enforcement as being possible.
00:26:53.000And it comes down to the county sheriff, ultimately, right?
00:26:57.000Is the county sheriff going to enforce these things?
00:26:58.000And one thing that I remember when the Virginia governor was making noise that they were going to try to pass legislation that was going to really curtail Second Amendment rights.
00:27:09.000A bunch of county sheriffs got together and were like, we will not enforce this.
00:27:16.000And at the same time, uh, the West Virginia legislature, or at least one of the legislators there was like, Hey, all your county is in Virginia.
00:27:24.000If you don't want to do that, come on over here to West Virginia.
00:27:26.000And people act like it's such a crazy thing, but, um, hello, why does West Virginia exist in the first place?
00:27:50.000Because in Boston and Chicago, I know people in Chicago, because I'm from there, and a bunch of people I know have been posting things on Facebook like, I'm scared.
00:29:06.000I'm like, this is what makes America great.
00:29:08.000You go off and you do your thing, and as long as you're not hurting other people, just, you know, leave kids out of it, leave us out of it, and you do your thing and you'll be happy.
00:29:15.000But when it comes to leadership, I think we need somebody with leadership experience.
00:29:19.000And this state almost went for Gillum instead of DeSantis.
00:29:23.000There's a lot of things about DeSantis.
00:29:24.000I don't agree with everything DeSantis does.
00:29:26.000He's been criticized over free speech issues.
00:29:29.000But I would take the military veteran over the drug-abusing partier guy.
00:29:34.000Don't you think, though, if it comes down at a federal level that Gillum, or not Gillum, DeSantis, he'll resist.
00:30:21.000But when cities start saying you must undergo a permanent and irreversible medical procedure, people flee those cities and they go to red areas.
00:30:32.000And some of these people are, you know, normies.
00:32:12.000Then you get the June 2022 Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade.
00:32:19.000The left seems to think Roe v. Wade is done for, and if that's the case, now you have hard leftist, overtly progressive or communist or socialist factions in cities, and red states that have become overwhelmingly red, and then you get a wedge issue.
00:32:35.000Blue states saying, we are going to run, you know, abortion clinics in violation of, you know, federal law or whatever, and then you'll end up with people fighting over it.
00:32:48.000So have you heard my assessment on that regard, my potentialities I've stated about this?
00:32:53.000So NBC News, Slate, a bunch of left journalists said that based on the oral arguments on Roe v. Wade on the Mississippi law, the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade June 2022.
00:33:44.000You now have geographically polarized regions.
00:33:48.000The cities have become overwhelmingly blue and subservient to the state, and the red states have become overwhelmingly libertarian and anti-establishment.
00:33:56.000And then you get a Donald Trump victory or a Ron DeSantis victory, and they say, the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to sign the federal abortion ban.
00:34:03.000And the moment they do, like John Podesta asked of the West Coast, you will see blue states start to act overtly in defiance of federal law and seek to secede.
00:34:14.000Maybe modern sensibilities prevent them from doing it.
00:34:16.000I guarantee you, though, if we ever get to the point where there's a federal abortion ban, you will see blue states defy that, and then you will probably see Conservative and Republican executive authority going in and shutting these things down, which results in a dramatic escalation of conflict.
00:34:32.000When you have geographical polarization plus states defying federal law to the point where it's the issue of babies, you know, and abortion, I think it's very simple.
00:34:45.000When it comes to marijuana laws, you are not going to see a conservative be like, we have to stop these dispensaries.
00:34:51.000When it comes to abortion, you absolutely will have conservatives being like, we have to go in and stop them from killing babies.
00:34:57.000You know, there is an interesting moral argument to be had here about making a union with somebody who has a different moral framework.
00:35:06.000For example, when the union was being formed back in revolutionary times, there was a lot of people, plenty up North, who didn't want to be in a country with the slave states.
00:35:16.000But there was a moral argument to be had which is if we don't form a country with the slave states they will then form their own country and then their country will be based on this immoral thing and it'll be left alone to prosper.
00:35:29.000And so the moral argument was actually to incorporate those slave states into the Union so that over time the idea of natural law and natural rights would be able to overcome slavery.
00:35:50.000I think it resolved slavery in the sense that that was it.
00:35:55.000And then it took a couple years before we finally totally purged it.
00:35:59.000But the conflict of the Civil War has never stopped.
00:36:02.000It's really interesting how... It's probably a bit reductive to frame it this way, but, you know, just reading history and following the presidency and the elections, when I see, like, everyone's like, this is all because of Obama when Obama got elected.
00:36:15.000And then I'm like, OK, so I read about Obama and everyone's like, Obama got elected because of Bush.
00:36:44.000And they say how geographical formations from the Paleolithic era affects modern-day voting practices.
00:36:51.000And what they show is that in the American South, there used to be a coastline which layered a bunch of minerals in a band across southern states.
00:37:00.000This created the most fertile farmland.
00:37:03.000So then when the plantation owners moved there, they brought all their slaves to this fertile farmland.
00:37:09.000Then, when slavery ended, and today, that area is overwhelmingly Democrat and always votes Democrat.
00:37:15.000So people are pointing out how this geographical formation ultimately resulted in this band of Democrat voters in the South.
00:37:21.000So what I mean to say is, I read about the Civil War.
00:37:24.000Read about was it 1872 or 1876 where they where they they decided the president by committee
00:37:30.000I don't recall this one. So this is let me see if I can pull this one up. I think it was 1872
00:37:36.000I could be wrong. It might have been six the 1872 election, let's see
00:37:41.000No, maybe it was the next one One of these elections was decided by committee.
00:37:47.000And it was because there was a dispute among the states as to which electors were real and which ones were like the legitimate ones.
00:37:55.000And this resulted in a compromise that ended the reconstruction.
00:38:00.000Boy, that sounds awfully familiar to a memo that I heard was written and presented to Mike Pence sometime in January.
00:39:09.000Electoral Disputes and the Compromise of 1877.
00:39:10.000So, I started reading about this, and then I'm like, oh wow, they were still fighting.
00:39:15.000Then you read about how the Democrats, you know, fought back after losing the Civil War with the Klan.
00:39:19.000Then you read about how this resulted in the Civil Rights, like, this ultimately brought us the Civil Rights era, and how the Democrats decided to change their strategy in other ways.
00:39:27.000And history is really dependent upon which political tribe you believe in.
00:39:30.000The Democrats will tell you that it's at this point in the civil rights era that Democrats
00:39:35.000realized the folly of their ways and decided to help those who are minorities because that
00:39:39.000was the path towards winning and the Republicans adopted the Southern strategy and decided
00:39:43.000to start working with the racists and I don't believe that's true.
00:39:48.000The other the other the other idea which is a bit more conspiratorial is that Democrat
00:39:52.000politicians realized the path towards suppressing minorities and maintaining their racism was
00:39:58.000to control these groups and thus they felt that that was their path forward.
00:40:03.000I mean, Matt Stoller, we've talked about Matt before, he wrote an amazing book where he outlined, I believe the guy's name was Fred Dutton, I could be wrong on that, where he was a democratic strategist in the 60s and he wanted to capture the vote of minorities and homosexuals and independent women and feminist women.
00:40:23.000Because he believed that that was the way to gain power, and they wanted to become anti-white male.
00:40:29.000And that was the turn that happened in the 60s and the 70s, and we still see that play out today.
00:40:34.000I mean, the stats are really freaking clear.
00:40:49.000Mondale was the guy who was like, I'm gonna form a coalition of the minorities and the women and the downtrodden, and then he got, like, obliterated in the election.
00:40:57.000Here's what people need to understand about these elections.
00:40:59.000So this wasn't 1980, this was 1984, right?
00:41:23.000Yep, it was Walter Mondale and Reagan.
00:41:25.000And you know what people don't realize first?
00:41:27.000When I say 49 state landslide, what do people imagine?
00:41:30.000They imagine out of 100 million people, 90 million people voted One Direction and everyone's cheering and celebrating and saying, this is the guy we wanted, we're all in agreement, this country is unified?
00:42:45.000This is about keeping the union together.
00:42:47.000And this is what people don't understand about being hardcore ideological, even on a moral level, versus statesmanship and prudence.
00:42:56.000How are you going to actually get something done?
00:42:59.000And is it okay to make compromises on certain values here and there in order to have your primary values or the one that's most important to you have success?
00:43:08.000Statesmanship is an entirely different thing than being an ideologue and statesmanship requires prudence and prudence is difficult.
00:43:16.000Prudence by its very definition is about making tough decisions between two competing interests that you have.
00:43:22.000And that's what people are facing all across the country right now when it comes to do I comply with this VAX mandate?
00:43:27.000Do I have my kid take the VAX if he doesn't take the VAX and he can't go to school if he doesn't get educated that he can't get a job if he doesn't get a job etc etc or do I stand up for this?
00:43:35.000I mean this is why prudence It's such a difficult thing to teach.
00:43:58.000There's like, I guess there's some interview where he says, we realized that everything was indoctrination, so we decided, why don't we indoctrinate?
00:44:35.000You know, we're not talking about ideologies.
00:44:38.000I don't like the idea of banning books because of their ideology.
00:44:41.000But I don't like the idea of teaching the ideology.
00:44:44.000And you know, what's funny is even the book burners don't even really think about that because they're like, oh yeah, there's this, the book, the Marx Marxist book is in the library, Communist Manifesto, Das Kapital.
00:45:08.000I remember, uh, My whole life, there's never been a real issue, as far as I could tell, about... I mean, there's been some peripheral issues about prayer in school, like, oh, it shouldn't happen.
00:45:18.000But most people were like, okay, public schools shouldn't do that.
00:45:30.000Well, it's a really fascinating thing to see how the woke thing is really a religion with sacrament and ritual and visual representations and all these things that echo religious experiences.
00:45:44.000And what it really tells me, which is something that I have learned over these last several years, is that God, man, you need it.
00:45:54.000There's a hole in us that needs to be filled and we all yearn for some sort of understanding of the universe that makes us not feel insignificant.
00:46:03.000One of the most incredible things that I've discovered as I've been reading the Bible and praying and trying to understand Him and come to some level of faith, Is that, uh, instead of like coming up with a model of the world to justify my behaviors or justify my actions or, or perceptions, there's like a ready-made model that unites you with the universe, with creation, with living a good life, with having good outcomes.
00:46:28.000And that is actually really comforting to know that the system has been in place for a long time and it works for a lot of people.
00:46:34.000And when you come across somebody that really believes and really practices, you can feel that energy come right out of their face.
00:46:40.000I don't think everyone needs religion or needs God, but I think most people probably need something.
00:46:48.000They need some version of this faith system.
00:46:52.000I've talked to a lot of people about psychedelics and psilocybin and stuff like that, and they're like, man, people really need this stuff.
00:47:59.000Maybe some people find their purpose through God and some people have nothing.
00:48:04.000And so they create purpose and ideology.
00:48:06.000You know, what's interesting is that mood follows motion, activity is life, and the Christians say, love thy neighbor.
00:48:12.000So if you love your other neighbor and you act it and you put it into motion and you become active in this regard, you get filled with the love and energy that makes those questions go away.
00:48:25.000You just don't think about it because you're filled with good energy.
00:50:46.000It's like capitalism just very plainly means, and I believe capitalism came from Marx anyway, very plainly means the private trade of goods, meaning an individual can trade freely as they choose, period.
00:50:59.000We are not in a pure capitalist system, by the way.
00:51:49.000And that got my interest a little bit.
00:51:52.000And you know, the guy's a little crazy and he's got some seriously out there ideas and he's done some probably pretty bad things.
00:51:57.000But he was interesting to talk to because, you know, he's an influential guy.
00:52:01.000And I can see how inequality, the concentration of wealth in the hands of very few people, leads to negative outcomes.
00:52:10.000And of course, we would want more people to share in the bounty that we've created.
00:52:15.000But if you believe in humanity, if you believe in individuals, then you will believe in individual outcomes, and you will believe in differing outcomes.
00:52:22.000And the founders were very clear on this.
00:52:24.000Different faculties lead to different outcomes, and we need to preserve that.
00:54:19.000So what I was going to say in the Babylon Bee interview, he talks about how he came to be worth so much money and the richest person in the world.
00:54:26.000And he said, he doesn't have the money.
00:55:22.000There's provision in there to create a pilot program to test out the best way to tax people on their mileage driven.
00:55:29.000And the number that they were tossing around was insane.
00:55:31.000It was something like eight cents a mile.
00:55:33.000That's like 2000 bucks a year for the average person.
00:55:36.000Elon basically is coming out now saying, I've paid more taxes than any other person in history and Elizabeth Warren doesn't pay taxes.
00:55:45.000But she'll still keep lying because these people are evil.
00:55:48.000And Elon Musk did this to make a point, but it doesn't matter, dude.
00:55:52.000There's a very interesting analysis to be made of who, where, is it for the betterment of society that the government now has that 11 billion or if Elon Musk had that 11 billion?
00:56:03.000So the Young Turks had on Ari the Rugged Man to capitalize.
00:56:33.000And I'm like, I just find it really funny that like they admit and acknowledge I am mixed race.
00:56:38.000They admit and acknowledge he is a white man and that they agree with him when he laughs at someone who says I'm mixed race and I experienced racism.
00:56:46.000I want that, that narrative to persist.
00:56:49.000I'm glad the young Turks made that video.
00:56:52.000So I did a video with my sister, and I put it up at 1pm on youtube.com slash timcastnews, 40 minutes long, where we basically talk about our childhood growing up and why I wanted to address the Young Turks.
00:57:04.000And I didn't do it to prove any point necessarily to them.
00:57:08.000I don't need the Young Turks to believe me.
00:57:15.000What I mean by this is, when the Young Turks come out and they say Tim Pool lied and made all this stuff up, there will be people watching saying, yeah, I wonder if he really did lie and make that stuff up.
00:57:25.000And I'll say, okay, I will have my sister on, and we will talk about everything we've been through, as embarrassing as it is for my family and whatever people end up thinking about us, because I'm telling you the truth.
00:57:36.000And I want people to then look at the Young Turks and see how they're despicable racists, and I want them to look at me and my family and say, these people are talking about the true struggles they've been through.
00:57:46.000The reason I bring that up is because when people started commenting and saying, like, you don't need to prove anything to them, they are 100% correct.
00:57:54.000I didn't do it to prove anything to the Young Turks.
00:57:57.000I did it so regular people can see it.
00:58:00.000I kind of feel like Elon might be doing some of that to sort of, like, let people know he's not that guy.
00:58:08.000He's not the dude who's going to exploit everybody and take all this money, and that he's more interested in going to space, and it just so happens he has this money.
00:58:17.000I do kind of feel like part of it, though, was to prove a point to the Democrats, and he gave the government money, which he didn't need to do.
00:58:23.000He did not need to sell billions of dollars in stock and then pay the government all this money.
00:58:29.000He could have just kept it in stock and said, I have no reason to take the money out.
00:58:33.000I mean, if he's paying $11 billion in taxes, how much did he liquidate and how much did he end up in his pocket?
00:58:38.000You gotta sell a lot of stock to pay $11 billion in taxes.
00:59:25.000As an individual, so if you as a business are seeking to build a factory that's a thousand football fields or whatever, the logistics in that is going to be way beyond one person making a purchase.
00:59:38.000This is going to be a massive undertaking of different companies and different CEOs.
00:59:44.000An individual would not be able to spend that money.
00:59:47.000Elon Musk liquidating this money, he's probably shrugging saying, I don't know.
00:59:51.000Because bro, a super yacht, what do those go for?
01:00:10.000You hire people to figure out how to manage it, you hire people to figure out how to spend it, and then you hire people to figure out how to defend it, and then where to invest it.
01:00:19.000This is where the idea of a family office comes in.
01:00:21.000These people literally have to hire folks to manage their money.
01:00:27.000You know, I feel like when you're at the point where Elon's at, I wonder why doesn't Elon take a billion dollars and say, who wants to start a media organization to go after the fake news and the liars?
01:00:37.000Well, I mean, isn't he, I know Peter Thiel at least has used some of his money to his foundation, which is for education, which is to produce new entrepreneurs.
01:00:46.000So, you know, they're, they're giving pieces back.
01:00:48.000I think maybe they have different priorities, you know, they have different priorities in terms of what their philanthropy can do and how it can affect the world.
01:00:55.000These are smart guys making calculated decisions.
01:02:38.000It's not like he needs to go on the show to sell anything or to pimp anything or whatever, you know, but he goes on the show because he's like, they, they, he, he quoted back to them their own headlines.
01:02:58.000Maybe he did it just for fun, but maybe it's the same reason that Northrop Grumman puts advertisements on Hulu, just so that we all just get accustomed to thinking Northrop Grumman is a good thing, because I'm not buying F-16s.
01:07:48.000And that's not the people that we know, but I just, you know, I think it's very easy for people to take the position of like, well, why isn't he doing it?
01:08:57.000We also have the Truth in Media Foundation, which is going to be a fact-checking website, and we are going to fact-check all of these deceptive and manipulative news articles.
01:09:07.000They say, oh, we're trying to stop misinformation.
01:09:09.000We're like, well, we're going to do that.
01:09:30.000As this company grows and more and more people become members at TimCast.com and support our work, those funds are being allocated towards expanding the work we do.
01:09:41.000So, like, what's the expense that we have?
01:10:01.000And West Virginia is one of the poorest states in the country so I thought this is an excellent opportunity because you've got good land, you've got good people, you've got freedom, we've got people who share values, and we can empower this in more ways than just having a news company.
01:10:15.000One of the ways to empower our ideals is to make sure there are good jobs and a good economy for the people who agree with us on our ideals.
01:10:22.000So for every dollar I put into this area, That's awesome, Tim.
01:10:25.000goes to a contractor who you know who lays concrete. He spends that dollar at
01:10:29.000the local burger shop for lunch. The burger shop then gets to hire a
01:10:32.000contractor to fix their building. All of that stays and circulates in that
01:10:36.000economy and I want to bring that economy out here. That's awesome Tim. I remember
01:10:39.000on our very first time when I was the first guest on the show back in February
01:10:42.0002020 I brought up my dream of having a building a village 80 acres with a river
01:11:11.000I'm not going to pretend like for the average person they can just snap their fingers and do it, but if you can get the loan to mortgage the property... My issue isn't like the act of acquiring the land.
01:11:22.000It's like, is it time for me to start tilling the land?
01:11:25.000Because I've got young kids and we've got kids in school and I'm tied to the area and I want to be with them.
01:11:31.000I'm hugely invested in their lives and being there every single day.
01:11:34.000It's just not time for me to move to West Virginia and start So, to kind of put a bow on what we were talking about, my main point is we do not have the level of resources anywhere near 99% of even other media companies.
01:12:44.000Because you're not gonna work forever, and I'm like, I wanna invest in things that are gonna have a long-standing impact for everyone.
01:12:49.000So, you know, when we build this building and this facility, I'll say, the improvements we do on it for actually this building for instance that we you know we have a loan on it of course the improvements we've done on it have made it less likely to be sold yeah of course you put an escape park in the basement well we want to we want to be exciting we want to inspire young people yeah we want to make it a fun cool place to be right we want everything we do to be right that's a loss that's a loss for you
01:14:29.000We tried and we tried and we tried and it was just like your risk assessment is 89% and we are getting denied insurance and all this stuff.
01:14:35.000With the new building, we don't have to worry about any of that.
01:14:39.000And so this is like, okay, we're going to once a week, we're going to have like a reservation list where you can choose, you know, as a member, you can come out and come hang out at the studio and be involved and get to meet everybody.
01:14:50.000And it's going to be this big building.
01:14:55.000You're going to be hanging out with a big projector screen.
01:14:57.000You're going to be able to see us in the studio through the big glass window.
01:15:00.000We are building this stuff because we want to inspire people and make sure our ideas are, you know, the seed is planted and they flourish.
01:15:08.000It's not so much about just giving back.
01:15:09.000It's about we get to enjoy what we do and the fruits of our labor, but we're going to leave something behind for everyone else, too.
01:15:16.000That's one of the reasons I think West Virginia is so important.
01:15:19.000If I were to set this business up in New Jersey and then 50 years from now I'm dead or whatever, who in New Jersey would inherit that and what would they do with it?
01:16:13.000We looked at, I was thinking about getting a small property in Texas and creating an Austin hub because there's so much activity going on with people moving there.
01:16:20.000And I looked at all the buildings and I looked at the cities and I was like, this is not a good idea.
01:16:38.000And they're on a path to not being what made me want to go there in the first place.
01:16:44.000But one of the things I was most struck by in Tennessee was going to the state capitol and going to monuments and stuff.
01:16:50.000And I live in D.C., a federal district with pretty limited history.
01:16:53.000You go to a state like Tennessee and you're at this capitol and you're at the monuments and you're like, All these people, they went and they died in these wars and all their pride that they have.
01:17:02.000And like, man, that was actually really intriguing and sort of romantic for me.
01:17:10.000I think about West Virginia and this big empty property.
01:17:15.000And I'm like, you know, I talk about how the colonists come to North America, and they land on a barren shore, and they're like, alright, you know, 20% of the people on this boat have died already from the trip, now we're all gonna start building on this shoreline, and another 20% of you are gonna die.
01:17:29.000And they basically come across undeveloped space, and I'm like, we gotta build houses, we gotta start farming, we gotta figure out how to survive.
01:17:36.000So I'm like, man, for the past several years I've been thinking, I don't want to go to a developed hub like Miami just because everyone's there.
01:17:45.000I don't want to go to Florida because they have been, you know, passing the right laws and everything and go to a place that someone else has done the hard work to make great.
01:17:54.000I want to go to somewhere where I have the freedom to make something great.
01:17:57.000Truth be told, it is better laws in West Virginia because people were voting for better laws.
01:18:02.000But there are a lot of people who need industry there.
01:18:04.000Some of the poorest people in the country live in West Virginia.
01:18:50.000But what happens when you get a giant skyscraper, for some reason, in rural West Virginia, surrounded by nothing, and the people who work there are all like regular, these are people with backgrounds in blue-collar jobs and tradesmen, and they have kids who can afford to live in the area, who grew up working on a farm, who started, you know, learning how to write or report or do videos, and then they come and work at a media organization.
01:19:12.000People are gonna call you a gentrifier, Timmy.
01:19:20.000The people who live there are gonna be like... Look, the people we'll attract for these jobs who live in the area are gonna be like, I worked with my hands.
01:19:28.000I know what a hard day's work really means.
01:19:30.000And then they're going to be those values will be coming out of that broadcast tower.
01:19:35.000I don't really think we'll build a skyscraper because I think skyscrapers are impractical, but we're going to, we were talking about finding an old, like decaying city and just buying up property and renovating and then expanding.
01:19:46.000And you should do that also in a place where then you can also run people for a county executive board and sheriff and have your own police and legislature and school system.
01:19:57.000I'm not a big fan of politics, but I recognize if we don't do that, bad people will come in.
01:20:02.000I have spent time researching counties that have a small enough population where I feel like we could bring enough people to move in there to take over the sheriff's office and the school system in order to ensure that our values and our beliefs are propagated.
01:20:18.000And you know, it was a, um, I was going to say wild, wild country.
01:20:31.000Oh, white and wild is a different documentary about West Virginia.
01:20:34.000No, this was a, about a cult leader, an Indian guy.
01:20:37.000Uh, and they bought up all this property in some area and then they tried to take over the council, the local board and all the real estate there.
01:20:45.000Cause quite a hubbub from the locals, for sure.
01:20:48.000But you know, that is that that's representation, representational government.
01:20:53.000If you own the land and you live there and your people live there and you vote for the thing, that's the way it's supposed to be.
01:21:19.000I was triggered and I was screaming, but I was at an impasse.
01:21:24.000I didn't know who to complain to, to get it banned.
01:21:28.000So, um, no, but in all seriousness, I'm only half kidding.
01:21:30.000I don't want to spoil the movie for people who want to see it, but a large component of the film, I believe, maybe it was unintentional, but it kind of casts the left as like, bad.
01:25:35.000The character Switch, in the first Matrix, you know the character Switch, was supposed to be a person who goes in the Matrix, and their residual self-image was female, and then in the real world they were male or something.
01:25:47.000And, according to the story, the studio thought it was too, you know, weird for regular people.
01:25:53.000I actually think that's a good idea for a film.
01:25:57.000Like, if the idea of the Matrix is you have an identity, and when you go in, you become an identity, the only issue is I think people should turn into giraffes, too.
01:27:27.000In the film spoiler warning again, because I really really want to make because I'm gonna actually give a hard spoiler Neo is a game developer he made a game called the matrix and He's sitting down with his business partner and his business partner goes oh Our parent company, Warner Brothers, has insisted we do a sequel.
01:27:47.000None of us want to do it, but they said, if we don't do it, they'll do it without us.
01:27:51.000Oh man, so they were basically looking into the camera.
01:27:56.000And so, in the movie, it's that they made a video game called The Matrix.
01:28:01.000Warner Brothers wants a new Matrix game, and they don't want to make it, but they have no choice, because either they do it, or it gets remade like trash.
01:28:09.000So they said, fine, we'll be involved.
01:28:12.000And that's the stu- I'm watching the movie and I'm like, this is so dumb.
01:28:16.000The first half an hour is literally them being like, they made us do it, we don't like it, don't be mad at us.
01:28:42.000That's when he's like, they're making us redo this and we don't want to.
01:28:46.000But the film, I gotta say like, The left will probably never admit it, but I don't know how else you explain it, that the movie is literally, now that we're in spoiler mode, it's literally, they're like, Neo and Trinity as a man and a woman, and the yearning they have for each other is what stabilizes the Matrix.
01:29:05.000And without them as the Patriarch and the Matriarch, the new Matrix will collapse.
01:31:07.000So you look at like, um, Contra points, I think, I think talked about this before that older trans people believe men and women are the binary and that that's why they're trans.
01:32:12.000And a lot of people are saying things like, you know, you know, you shouldn't have yelled at Sydney and all that stuff.
01:32:18.000And so we'll talk about that right now.
01:32:19.000But I do want to say one thing, too, because a lot of people who are saying things like, I can't believe I believed in Jack or whatever, and Jack's a fraud.
01:32:29.000We're going to address all those issues.
01:32:31.000But if your complaint is about an article that Jack wrote seven years ago, and you're now saying that you no longer like him because of something he did in the past, I don't care if it's a leftist who does it.
01:32:41.000I don't care if it's a right-winger who does it.
01:32:42.000If someone did something in the past and they're like, yeah, I don't think those things anymore or I don't like that I did that.
01:32:53.000If we're going to excise our own allies because of things they did in the past, well, you might as well be, you know, in the, in cancel culture mode or whatever.
01:33:00.000Not that, I mean, some people should deserve to be canceled and some people should have to answer for what they did and all that stuff.
01:33:06.000But, uh, I mean, should we just, do you want to outright mention the, you are here thing or whatever?
01:33:12.000Oh, well, just on that one point, like why was it so jarring for people to read that article about me?
01:33:18.000Because I don't ever talk about it because I don't ever push those ideas because it's not a part of my life.
01:33:38.000So I picked Jack Murphy as a pseudonym and I wrote an article about like one element of my sex life all those years ago that was meant to be seen by basically nobody and I deleted it like a few months later and now for years people have been digging through my internet trash to like bring it up and to wave it in my face and the only reason people are waving at my face is because We're having a good impact on society.
01:34:03.000And if it felt jarring to you to read this one thing, well, yeah, that's because I don't talk about it and it's not something I'm pushing and it's not something I advocate.
01:34:13.000After I got divorced, we just had fun, man.
01:34:16.000We did a lot of kinky and crazy things and I don't write about it and I don't talk about it anymore.
01:34:21.000Joey Salads hired black men to vandalize a car with Trump stickers in it.
01:34:41.000And now I have gone through a whole many years of growth and transformation and reading and studying and everything that I have said before up to this point is 100% accurate.
01:34:56.000Yeah, I think they're using a lot of people don't like the article.
01:35:00.000A lot of people are using that because they're mad at you.
01:35:02.000But I think the anger comes from you yelling at Sydney.
01:35:04.000Right, so here's what happened with Sydney.
01:35:05.000So I'm sitting on the show and we're talking and they're joking about reading superchats where people are building like gas chambers and she's reading out loud like, how did I build this gas chamber that didn't kill all the Jews that I was supposed to kill, right?
01:35:20.000It's like insane, the superchats that she reads.
01:35:23.000And so I'm telling her this whole time, I'm like, hey, you might want to read all the superchats before you read them out loud, right?
01:36:44.000And to me, this is such a nothing burger in my life.
01:36:47.000I am so focused on so many other bigger, more important things that, uh, people chipping and chirping away at me at this are just so annoying when I block people.
01:37:09.000And I'm aware, and I mentioned this last week, the one way to really piss me off is to send me a video about people saying things about me.
01:37:17.000Because I'm like, dude, I don't care about me.
01:37:20.000Like, what I mean by that is like, I don't care if, you know, so I saw the Young Turks thing where Cenk was like, he's literally looking into the camera saying over and over again, I'm laughing at you, Tim Pool!
01:37:39.000The Young Turks did their video, got 50,000 views.
01:37:41.000I don't, I don't, I'm not saying that, bring that up to be like, haha, I got more views than you.
01:37:45.000I'm saying when you focus on the work, when you focus on the ideas, when you are talking about what makes the world a better place and what we need to work on, people are interested.
01:37:54.000People are interested in like, what can I do to better my life?
01:37:57.000But Cenk Uygur and Anna Kasparian just insulting me doesn't improve anyone's life in any way and doesn't provide them with tools to make for a better world.
01:38:06.000And if you're out there and you're listening to rage merchants and all they're doing is stirring up drama and you're just getting angry enough that you seek out my email address and my Instagram and my YouTube and my Twitter and my personal phone number and my girlfriend, who's soon to be my wife, and you blowing us up with all this nastiness, like, dude, you're being misled.
01:38:25.000The idea and everything that we're working on here is to help men is to help their families is to help their community and their nation on the way up here today.
01:38:33.000Just let me finish on their way on the way up here today.
01:38:35.000I had a phone call with one of the LO guys and we're talking about this business that they started.
01:38:40.000That's literally going to change, change the world.
01:38:48.000So I'm driving up here and I'm talking to this guy about literally changing the world.
01:38:53.000And now we're talking about this thing that literally has no relevance in my life whatsoever at all today.
01:38:59.000And you know, it's just kind of annoying, but like, I'm just so over it and not interested in talking about it, which is why I was like, please, let's just not talk about it anymore.
01:39:08.000And, uh, she wanted to, so, Hey, But I'll tell you this.
01:39:10.000Some of these super chats are funny, but I think you even rolled with the jokes about calling your boy Matt and stuff like that.
01:40:20.000Dude, I have a lot of respect for Ben.
01:40:22.000I remember watching him just sort of growing up over at Breitbart back in the day, like 2014 and 15, and he's, man, that guy is doing things and he's going for it and he's putting himself out there.
01:41:19.000Alright, let's grab some superchats here.
01:41:26.000A lot of the superchats we got about the Sydney and Elijah thing are people genuinely being like, I don't understand what that was, what happened, what happened.
01:42:00.000And I just think everybody here should just sort of put this thing behind them and let's move on.
01:42:05.000HeathenAirsoftNJ says, No, that's actually not it.
01:42:11.000I don't know if you watched it or not.
01:42:15.000The reason why I did that segment was because the ideas were really important and the Young Turks gave me an excellent opportunity to show you what the left and progressives are.
01:42:25.000Like I said, I don't care that, you know, the Young Turks want to laugh at me or make fun of me, but I think it's important that when you have a regular person, who's sitting there saying like, who's right? Who's a good
01:43:12.000I will lay out my entire past with a family member for all embarrassment and for all of the bad so that you can know this is who I am and this is why I believe what I believe.
01:43:22.000The Young Turks can laugh at me and say I'm a liar and a racist all day and night, but they have no substantive argument.
01:43:28.000I don't care for the drama between the Young Turks.
01:43:32.000I think the bigger issue is letting regular people know, here's the people who aren't laughing in your face, and here's the people who are.
01:43:39.000If you're a working-class person on the South Side of Chicago, my story probably related.
01:43:42.000If you're a mixed-race person, I get it all the time.
01:43:44.000They're like, man, I've been through what you've been through, Tim.
01:44:08.000And one of the reasons that I am kind of happy that we're talking about this old article and my hedonistic past and the fact that I used to try to just pleasure-seek, I was just pleasure-seeking, is because ultimately at the end of the day, that's not enough.
01:44:22.000Like you're not going to be satisfied.
01:44:32.000And I am happy to be the guy that leads people who once lived a hedonistic lifestyle, who are looking for something more important, who are looking for something that means more to them.
01:44:43.000That's going to return a higher utility to them as a person and is going to benefit the nation as a whole.
01:44:49.000So if this is if this is my, you know, thing to bear, OK, fine.
01:44:54.000But like listen to my content now and understand where we're going, because I've moved past that and I'm on to something that's really good.
01:45:01.000And if you want to be on to something really good, let's go.
01:45:04.000All right, we got Ghost Crusader says Tim I had to get my first shot today.
01:45:31.000If you find yourself in that position, I give kudos to you and please just take some support understanding there's a lot of us in the same spot and you're not a bad person if you make a prudential decision.
01:45:43.000All right, Dee Thompson says, love your show, started watching Nightly a few months ago, just finished reading The Fourth Turning and wow, crazy accurate for being written in 1996.
01:47:05.000We could do something on the website where it's just like we all talk about Chicago and stuff like that, because those stories are really fascinating.
01:47:13.000And the more you can connect to other people's experiences, the more powerful it is to spread your message and to get people on the right track, man.
01:51:57.000Yeah, you know, because I think it's people who are coming in here and just Just throwing money at Timmy, hoping that you're going to embarrass me in front of all these people?
01:52:47.000I work in medicine and feel so done with being whipped around like a rag doll with mandates and exemptions.
01:52:52.000We are hiring and the difficulty is, you know, we're planting seeds of these new shows and we're trying to grow them and they're, you know, they're but baby birds that we are unable to kick out of the nest.
01:53:05.000So the core Timcast show is like subsidizing the growth of these new shows so we can hire But it's like everything we hire outside of this show is a loss, and that's what we've been doing.
01:53:16.000So it's like we're taking the risk to try and do more stuff.
01:53:18.000We have the book, Tales from the Inverted World at invertedworldbook.com.
01:53:21.000It's a bestseller now, which is amazing.
01:53:33.000So in order for us to keep hiring, those have to grow to a certain point, and it's not easy, and it's very difficult.
01:53:38.000Look, I put out the call all the time for conservative donors to fund media projects that don't have immediate returns right away.
01:53:45.000And Tim, I'm very proud of you for taking this route and investing in things that don't have returns right away in order to move the needle.
01:56:06.000And then hopefully in 10 years, we got big trees with beautiful shade and, you know, we'll have like a banana tree and we'll have, actually they don't grow on trees, they grow on bushes or something.
01:57:23.000We want to make sure that as the infection spreads, we don't overload our ICU beds because then tons of people will die because we can't treat them.
01:58:07.000So out here in West Virginia, just last week or whatever, I was with Allison.
01:58:12.000We went to a cafe and they had a big, huge thing on the door saying, please wear a mask.
01:58:16.000And I said, Starbucks over there doesn't require masks.
01:58:19.000So instead of going to the small business that needed our money very, very much, I went to the big corporate store because the big corporate store was like, do your thing.
01:58:55.000I went to the mall to buy my wife to be the one very gift I wanted to get her and I had got to the gate of the door and they were like, put a mask on.
02:00:24.000Eric A. says, Tim, I appreciate all the work you do in regards to the news, but your takes on entertainment suck more than a struggling actress.
02:02:06.000I want to talk about important issues and expanding and growing and, you know, whatever.
02:02:12.000All right, Ellen... Lynn Jin says, so as a billionaire, Tim, you would just be paying Michael Malice to be Michael Malice just on a bigger scale?
02:03:28.000I'm saying that if, so if we have thousands of dollars in Super Chats that we don't normally get, that means there's more people here giving us Super Chats than they normally do.
02:03:41.000And people who are observing, who are friends of mine or whatever, they're texting me about the chats are like, it seems like a different crew in there.
02:03:48.000Although I got to say, ordinarily the chats are pretty vicious.
02:03:52.000There's pretty, there's like bots in there.
02:03:56.000It's an interesting place for people to get their sort of jollies.
02:03:59.000I think it's funny that, you know, on, what was it?
02:04:02.000Like November 7th, I said, Joe Biden won the election.
02:04:04.000And all the Trump people were like, Tim Pool is a loser, and started yelling at me, and I'm like, well, I guess whatever.
02:04:10.000Like, I don't know, people think that I'm going to change my opinions because they're yelling at me in chat, and then people are saying, like, I'm unsubscribing or whatever, and I'm like, I guess.
02:04:19.000Yo, if you don't like me, like, I'm sorry, you don't like me.
02:04:21.000You're allowed not to, and you're free to watch other shows.
02:04:24.000The data doesn't bear that out though, does it?
02:04:27.000Well, no, look, I'll say this right now.
02:04:28.000If there's a bunch of people who are watching, big fans of the show, and they're mad at me over my stance on this, then with respect, I genuinely mean this.
02:05:09.000I don't want to sell likeness on a trading card.
02:05:12.000We just have portraits of people they signed and we want to post the pictures of them and then give people their, like, you know, NFT version of it, the digital version and the physical version.
02:06:41.000She in no way intended to put me in a bad spot and she acknowledged that she didn't pick up on the signals and the direct A request that I was making of her to not talk about that subject.
02:07:13.000The reason I want to read that last one just in case anybody who joined in and didn't know that they may have seen drama or whatever and didn't know that you guys had apologized and everything.
02:07:20.000Yeah, and I did publicly on my Twitter also.
02:07:48.000And if he's genuinely saying he's sorry, then I should absolutely work with him on this because we want people to be on the right side of freedom and liberty.
02:07:58.000And then people are like, yeah, but he's only apologizing because his career will end if he doesn't, and I'm like, well, okay then, if we can make him be a better person, because he's got a fear behind it, I'm like, at the very least, he'll be doing good.
02:08:10.000That's why I just say, man, anybody who apologizes, I'm willing to give forgiveness to a certain extent.
02:08:15.000With that being said, smash that like button if you like the show, and if you don't, feel free to not, like, smash the like button or whatever, but also go to TimCast.com, become a member.
