Richie McGinnis is running for mayor of Chicken City, and his mom is mad at him because he s running against a woman who is running against him. Also, a man tried to set himself on fire in front of the Supreme Court, and a woman accused Mike Pence of being in on a coup.
00:00:22.000I think the craziest story today, actually, was that Marjorie Taylor Greene was testifying in an administrative trial To determine whether or not she should be disqualified from re-election, which just says to me, yo, this is a sign of the collapse of the Republic.
00:00:40.000Robbie Starbuck was booted off the primary because the Republican GOP played some BS.
00:00:48.000Now you've got them trying to disqualify, the establishment mind you, it's not just Democrats, it's Republicans as well, trying to disqualify People like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Madison Cawthorn.
00:01:17.000It's like the left is accusing Mike Pence of being in on a coup because he refused to get into a car.
00:01:24.000So I don't know why the story is for some reason getting prominence now, because the story is actually very old, but we'll talk about it either way.
00:01:30.000And then some guy tried lighting himself on fire in front of the Supreme Court.
00:02:45.000We're going to have a great talk about chickens and elections.
00:02:50.000I like that you talk about work because work scientifically is like an expression of energy.
00:02:56.000You can measure it in joules and so like right now we're working, if you're thinking you're producing work, so this is just another kind of work.
00:03:03.000Whether it's a job or not that you get paid for is kind of irrelevant at that point.
00:03:29.000Well, that's that's why we thought it was important to have your mom on so we can all collectively scold you for this dangerous line of work.
00:04:00.000I really enjoyed talking to Tina before the show and I'm delighted to get more into it.
00:04:04.000It reminded me a little bit of talking to Ricardo Lamas's dad where we get into some of the history and get some of the background that we really lack kind of as Millennials.
00:04:19.000You know, I thought I needed a little blue, a little red, you know?
00:04:21.000If you haven't already, before we get started, head over to TimCast.com, become members, because as members, you keep our journalists employed.
00:04:27.000We're actually looking at hiring two more journalists to our news team, so I'm really, really excited about that.
00:04:32.000And your membership is what gives these people jobs, so they work for you!
00:04:37.000And that means that whenever you see them, you can yell and be like, hey, I pay your salary!
00:05:16.000Let's read this first story and talk about weird whatever with Florida.
00:05:20.000The Daily Mail reports Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis is applauded by children as he officially strips Disney of its 55-year-old special tax and land privileges after Biden slammed ugly GOP for going after Mickey.
00:05:34.000I kind of feel like this country is pretty much falling apart.
00:05:39.000I will say it's funny that they bring in a bunch of kids.
00:07:14.000I mean, if there's something that I don't know, civil libertarians and conservatives are interested in, they're just gonna be like, well, we hate that.
00:07:21.000And so, if that means they're gonna side with tax cuts for massive multinational corporations, apparently that's what's happening.
00:07:27.000But, you know, this is why I think it's great to have you here, Tina, because I'm curious.
00:07:32.000With everything we've been seeing over the past several years, with the rioting, with the political partisanship, with now children clapping and cheering for this stuff, with critical race theory in schools, I'm wondering if you have ever seen it this bad.
00:08:30.000You mean by clear, like you don't know what's going on?
00:08:34.000I don't know where, I don't know how to think about a lot of things anymore,
00:08:38.000because I don't, I'm very mistrustful of pretty much everything I hear.
00:08:44.000And we were talking earlier about, just about newscasters in my day,
00:08:51.000and it was Walter Cronkite and I'm going to go to the next slide.
00:08:56.000Chet Huntley and David Brinkley and Edward R. Murrow and you respected those men and you didn't really know much about them except the pitch of their voice when you knew when something was serious you know if I'm sure you've all seen the clip of Walter Cronkite taking his glasses off when he announced JFK had been assassinated it was a I don't know things were it's almost like Things were serious then, and everything's made to be serious now.
00:09:29.000I don't know if that's the right way to put it, but I don't know if things are better or worse.
00:09:37.000We were talking, Lydia and I earlier, about my mother saying, you know, the world has always been bad.
00:09:45.000I wonder, though, how do you know you can trust those men, like Walter Cronkite?
00:10:23.000I mean, they have picked the CIA and, you know, there was always a subterranean text that you, well, you didn't question it, I think is also.
00:10:35.000We also talked about in the past how at that time the young people were part of the counterculture, which was counterculture.
00:10:42.000And now, you know, with a lot of the protests that have happened over the last two years, you have, like, corporations on board with those and, like, using it to prove that they're virtuous.
00:10:51.000Oh, I went to a skate park and I saw Black Lives Matter tagged.
00:11:49.000Yeah, they were planning on talking about him being Jewish and using it against him and stuff in the emails.
00:11:53.000Like, how is this not causing a Watergate-level landslide of reprisal?
00:11:59.000Because there's a military industrial complex and now the spy network, it's like they've been trying to build this technocracy since 1913, the Rockefeller, you know, the military, basically the Federal Reserve was the first, the beginning of it with, what's his name?
00:13:10.000Third wave, I think, was what we saw in the 2000s.
00:13:15.000So this is all just considered to be waves of feminism.
00:13:18.000So what happens is third wave feminism started asking these questions about privilege, intersectionality, and race.
00:13:26.000And so what started very much with, if you're a woman, a biological female, then you have certain rights and things you're not granted access to, so those rights are fought for.
00:13:39.000And it's like workplace, pay parity, things like that.
00:13:43.000And then you get into the late 2000s, early 2010s, and feminism all of a sudden starts adopting what's called intersectionality, which is... I don't know what that is.
00:15:07.000It's a way of talking about it in a complicated way.
00:15:11.000It's a way of making sense of the world.
00:15:13.000It's a way of basically identifying the reasons for why people face struggles and why certain people have to overcome more.
00:15:25.000At the same time, just those exterior immutable traits really don't have anything to do with people's individual situations in terms of what they might be born into that's beyond that.
00:16:40.000It's the movies I grew up with that my mother, you know, knew all the words to all the songs to.
00:16:48.000And they have adapted this position of, you know, there's this whole conversation about, say, Gone with the Wind as an example, and just erasing it because it represented a bad thing about, you know, whites and slavery.
00:17:07.000But there's no point in erasing any of it.
00:17:14.000Isn't it a similar kind of conversation?
00:17:17.000Well now, California just tried repealing their civil rights provision from their constitution.
00:17:24.000The Democrats in California wanted to repeal the anti-discrimination provision which prevented discrimination on the basis of race.
00:17:33.000And their argument was, we need to discriminate on the basis of race to help minorities.
00:17:40.000And so my response there is to go back in time to the pre-1960s.
00:17:49.000You think it was better when that's how the laws were structured, but that's what they're doing.
00:17:52.000That's the Democrats that are doing that, not the Republicans.
00:17:54.000And then it's a question of how far you go back in time, because, you know, if you go back on a long enough timeline, like for example, the Irish were being enslaved by the hundreds of thousands per year in Baghdad in the 800s.
00:18:07.000And at that time, the Arabs were the dominant culture in the world.
00:18:55.000Yeah, that's the other problem with applying like immutable, you know, characteristics to cultures and stuff like that.
00:19:00.000Like, oh, because you're born like this, then you're...
00:19:02.000Because you're like this, you're going to face this challenge.
00:19:06.000Actually, I think if you look at the Nordic countries, it's a really good example for why we should not blame a group of people for the sins of their past.
00:19:13.000To say like, you know, right now, that's the big thing with critical race theory is that white people are evil, settler colonialism is wrong, and English is an oppressive language.
00:19:22.000And it's like, I don't know if the, you know, the Vikings can figure things out and become, you know, I don't know, equitable and peaceful or whatever.
00:19:31.000Why are you going to blame them for what other people did?
00:19:35.000And I mean, that's really the question is like, what is, um, you know, America is a very like young country.
00:19:42.000And I think that a lot of times our collective understanding of culture and history is very much shorter than like in Europe, for example, like if you next to your school, you have a cathedral from the 1200s, you have a tendency to like, think of things on a longer timeline.
00:19:56.000And so, yeah, we have this very kind of like, it's our understanding of like the history of progressivism is like three generations long.
00:20:03.000And, you know, it's like, I think that that neglects to realize if you think back a little bit further than you realize more progress than you think has been made.
00:20:11.000Yeah, you're making me think about second wave feminism, which is the one from the 60s.
00:20:14.000The first wave feminism was the end of the 1800s.
00:20:31.000It's just being a woman and being proud of being a woman and not having to defend yourself because you are.
00:20:42.000Whether or not you decide to have children, you have five children, you work, you don't work.
00:20:48.000I think that we've kind of been led astray.
00:20:53.000The women after me, I think, got kind of mixed up with it because what my generation was trying to do, I think, was say, whatever it is... Oops.
00:21:08.000Yeah, you need to keep it a little closer.
00:21:40.000Kitanji Brown-Jackson, who was just nominated to the Supreme Court and confirmed, said she could not answer the question of what is a woman.
00:22:25.000I never felt like I had to fight for that.
00:22:30.000And at the same time, I wanted to be out there in the world and work, and it made economic sense, and it just made sense in terms of whatever my ambitions were.
00:22:42.000And I was very fortunate because I had the resources to And it's mostly because I had very understanding employers who happened to be mostly men, who were liberated, you know, who allowed me to have my children, keep my job and carry on.
00:23:24.000It's hard for me to talk about it in terms other than being someone who bears children and works
00:23:33.000and just, you know, fends for whatever it is is important to me in the world.
00:23:42.000I think W-O-M, the letters womb and woman.
00:23:46.000I mean, the W-O-M is part of both of those words.
00:23:48.000I don't know if that matters, but I'm not going to say it doesn't.
00:23:51.000And I'm not going to, I can't criticize, but I can't criticize someone who, you know, has, has a struggle with figuring out what gender they are.
00:24:06.000I'm lucky, you know, I guess, or I'm, I was never taught to challenge it.
00:24:12.000So, with our incoming Supreme Court Justice who doesn't know what a woman is, how can you have feminism, how can you have women's rights if a Supreme Court Justice doesn't even know what a woman is?
00:25:09.000Well, so for instance, California tried repealing the non-discrimination provision from their constitution.
00:25:14.000If that were to be removed, then an employer, it was public contract, and they could literally say, you're a woman, get out.
00:25:21.000So that sounds like going backwards from civil rights.
00:25:23.000The 1964 Civil Rights Act granted those protections.
00:25:26.000California enacted a similar provision in schooling and public contracting in the 90s, and the Democrats are trying to be rid of that.
00:25:32.000So all of a sudden, you know, the argument from Democrats and these progressives is that if we have the ability to discriminate, we can actually discriminate against men.
00:25:43.000So we can help women by removing men, but that just means that a man could do the same thing in kind.
00:25:48.000And you'd come back to the point where the people who are more aggressive and more ambitious will dominate the industry.
00:25:54.000And then if they have the ability to discriminate, you have a tendency to see it at least to a certain degree.
00:25:58.000I think that makes the struggle for men worse.
00:26:00.000I mean it gets even more interesting like if you're talking about the case of California removing those civil rights protections is right now in like I'm 32 like our age group and lower women actually in like academic scenarios and early work environments are more successful than men.
00:26:18.000So, you know, if more women are enrolling in college and getting better grades, then in that case they would actually be, right, at a disadvantage for, you know, getting the, you know, having the, whatever the intersectional... I think the whole thing is just...
00:26:50.000They're going to be laden with more debt.
00:26:51.000Young men aren't taking these... are less likely to take out this debt, and they're going to be more... well, they're going to be less restricted.
00:26:57.000They're going to be able to go into trade jobs, which will make Maybe not as money, but with no debt, they're going to be unrestrained.
00:27:04.000So it really feels like everything that's happening.
00:27:07.000Yeah, but don't you think it's a pendulum?
00:27:09.000Just the way historically everything has been for hundreds and hundreds of years.
00:27:14.000You know, you go too far and then you come back.
00:28:35.000I mean, the Constitution does not protect our rights.
00:28:37.000So you want to talk about free speech, but when private corporations control the public town square, I guess technically you can go outside and talk.
00:28:43.000But now they've even arrested people for posting rap lyrics.
00:28:47.000If I have to go to the government and ask permission to keep and bear arms, the Constitution has not protected my rights.
00:28:53.000And that's true for New York, New Jersey, Maryland, what other states?
00:29:03.000And then we talk about the Fifth Amendment.
00:29:05.000I mean, look at the stuff they do to Julian Assange.
00:29:07.000He's not an American citizen, but certainly when it comes to matters of, you know, extradition or whatever, people coming to this country, you are afforded rights, no matter whether or not you're a citizen.
00:29:16.000But you look at what's happening with January 6th.
00:29:18.000The defendants who are kept in solitary confinement for a year, there's no constitutional rights.
00:29:23.000It's rights for those who have power, and the Constitution's become a piece of paper that's only being upheld by one side that desperately wants to believe it still exists.
00:29:29.000Do you think it's because we've been lulled into a comfortable place where we don't realize how important carving those things out is?
00:29:39.000Everything's so safe and easy right now that it's like, okay, well, maybe the government can go ahead and do whatever they want.
00:30:05.000We had the worst riots we've seen in 50 years in 2020.
00:30:09.000And it was by the people claiming to be the left.
00:30:13.000The left is now pro-corporate when they want to be.
00:30:15.000There's like, there's no principles backing this.
00:30:17.000The right tries to maintain this idea that there's a constitution and that we have rights and these things are being upheld.
00:30:23.000But when every major institution is corrupt, you just got a group of conservatives who are like, there's a constitution as long as it stands.
00:30:30.000And it's like, bro, you live in the past.
00:30:32.000Like Hollywood, schools, like the CRT in school stuff is a perfect example.
00:30:50.000More than 2 million people have tested their racial prejudice reads one textbook's math problem.
00:30:55.000So Florida got rid of a bunch of math books because they said they had critical race theory indoctrination in them.
00:31:02.000Now, prominent progressives and leftists are saying the right is banning math because they don't want people to learn math.
00:31:10.000What you actually see in these books is it says things like, the bar graph shows the differences among age groups on the implicit association test that measures levels of racial prejudice.
00:31:21.000Higher scores indicate a stronger bias.
00:31:43.000When they remove those books from school, Democrats, corporate press, and progressive activists make up insane lies Yeah, but everybody, I mean, it's all propaganda.
00:32:38.000But it seems like it's mostly only in Florida, right?
00:32:43.000So Disney comes out, and what's happening in Florida, if you're not familiar, is they passed a bill called the Parental Rights and Education Bill, which grants parents the right to know.
00:33:16.000The only people fighting back against this are for the most part in Florida.
00:33:19.000We did see after this, I think Texas, Idaho, Mississippi, we're starting to see statewide hyperpolarization to push back, but it's really polarizing.
00:33:29.000So a better example is probably abortion, where Oklahoma, I think, outright banned abortion.
00:33:33.000Just literally banned it, unless it's for the life of the mother.
00:33:37.000And Colorado now allows abortion up to the point of birth, meaning a fully developed nine-month-old baby can be... Two extremes, yeah.
00:34:44.000So one of the most notable is one of the biggest political streamers for the left is Hasan Piker, who I've repeatedly invited on the show, but he's always got a different excuse.
00:34:51.000The first time it was, you know, I said, I tweeted out, we invite these people on the show, they always say yes, and then ghost us.
00:34:59.000And then Hasan tweets out, I'll come on your show.
00:35:56.000They're each given like, I don't know what it is, like an hour and a half.
00:36:00.000And there's no like, you know, you have 30 seconds to answer this question.
00:36:03.000And they actually, they insult each other, they talk to each other, but they have enough time to actually have a conversation, which is a debate.
00:36:22.000He's a leftist socialist YouTuber who a lot of people on the right hate, especially because of his views on children and adult content for children.
00:36:31.000But he came on the show twice and that's that's that's pretty much there's also Jen Perlman shout out to Jen
00:36:36.000She's a progressive and she's come on the show We've had great conversations
00:36:39.000But this this this guy who was recently arguing that something that literally happened and messaging me saying
00:36:44.000he'll come on the show I say here email us so we can set it up and then he goes to
00:36:47.000us. It's just it's a recurring Well, that's cowardly. I think mom what it is is like you're
00:36:52.000so we talked earlier before the show about like are we inheriting,
00:36:57.000you know, the tail end of the counterculture progressive movement that you guys initiated
00:37:02.000in the late 60s and Like I think to a certain extent what we're talking about
00:37:07.000I mean to a certain extent it has become orthodoxy of this kind of like monolithic
00:37:12.000you know mainstream idea of what it is to be a good person to be a moral virtuous person and
00:37:18.000And so, anybody who engages with a Tim Pool is stepping outside of that orthodoxy, and nobody wants to be that person who, you know, steps outside of where everybody is, you know, thinking right.
00:37:31.000But I did, and a lot of my old friends won't talk to me, or don't talk to me, they unfollow me and stuff, because it's like Ian's a part of the fascist movement of the United States, where I'm like, yo, the Federal Reserve, shout out to everyone in the chat that loves that one, is fascist.
00:39:19.000So for, you know, Richie to experience things on the ground, I'll give you one of my favorite examples of the hyperpolarization is a man named Daryl Davis.
00:40:22.000And we booked him for an event to headline because the event was about, essentially, civil libertarianism.
00:40:28.000It was called Ending Violence, Racism, and Authoritarianism.
00:40:30.000We wanted people to be like, we want to get rid of this stuff.
00:40:34.000Far left extremists showed up and threatened to burn down the theater.
00:40:37.000So the theater canceled our contract within I think it was like three weeks of the event.
00:40:42.000We were forced to move the event to a casino with half the capacity because the casino had the security and they were willing to do it.
00:40:47.000Another venue nearby told us, we love what you're doing, But we will have our venue burned down if we host this conversation.
00:40:55.000The protesters showed up to the after party, and Daryl Davis, having de-radicalized over 200 Klansmen, said, I'm gonna go talk to these guys and see what's up.
00:41:05.000They screamed at him and wouldn't let him say one word.
00:41:07.000He was so shocked, he wrote this post on Facebook where he said, I can't believe it.
00:41:11.000I've never experienced anything like this.
00:41:14.000What is going on with these people and it ended up going massively viral because the current state of politics in this country is the younger left generation, we call it the left, whatever we call it, group A, group B, whatever, they are unwilling to compromise, unwilling to talk, they are angry, chaotic, and destructive.
00:41:32.000So, for example, the guy who said, the Washington Post never posted a private address, and everyone's showing the image of them doing it, and he's like, no, they didn't.
00:41:41.000These are people who don't care about what's true.
00:41:42.000They know that they can say it, and they're people gullible enough to just believe it, and that gives them power.
00:41:48.000So you have, it was the late David Graeber who said, elements of the left have adopted the fascistic tenet, there is no truth but power.
00:41:55.000And this guy was called the anarchist anthropologist.
00:41:58.000He was one of the progenitors of Occupy Wall Street.
00:42:02.000Later in his life, he said, I'm watching the left embrace fascistic tenets.
00:42:07.000And that's where we are now, where the corporate press will outright make something up.
00:42:13.000Their allies and nonprofits will make things up.
00:42:16.000The whole insurrection narrative, all of this stuff are outright lies.
00:42:19.000My favorite example in this capacity is that in January, I said, it's going to be very difficult to convict someone of trespassing at the Capitol when the police opened the doors for them.
00:42:30.000The Young Turks then make up a lie that I said people who are violent shouldn't be charged because there were no signs.
00:42:49.000I think that's a good point, though, Tim.
00:42:52.000It's like a lack of any initiative to engage with the other side.
00:42:57.000And I'm wondering, back in the 60s and 70s, You know, somebody who was like a Bible thumping, you know, whatever, World War Two veteran who had the white picket fence and then their kid went off to Vietnam and they were all for, you know, were you not willing to engage with somebody like that?
00:43:15.000Like, was it, you know, if you're this, then I won't even talk to you.
00:43:18.000I think, you know, when earlier we talked about it being more generational than, Partisan, because we were filled with hope about the fact that we could make a change, we could make a difference, we could end the war.
00:43:35.000And it might have been naive, but that's how we united.
00:43:40.000I tried to talk to my father about it.
00:43:43.000was the enemy because he perpetuated the war.
00:43:48.000But would you talk to a Nixon supporter?
00:43:51.000I tried to talk to my father about it.
00:43:54.000Well, the feminists today are pro-war.
00:45:13.000For the first time in my life, a president did not start a war.
00:45:15.000In fact, with Kushner's guidance, we got the Abraham Accords, which brought economic stability between countries like Saudi Arabia or just countries with Israel.
00:45:27.000So now planes are allowed to fly over Israel.
00:45:47.000And that's one of the reasons I did not vote for him in 2016, but I did in 2020, because he's had a timeline for the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
00:45:53.000But today's feminists of my generation oppose that.
00:45:59.000And they voted for Joe Biden, who was part of an administration that caused, I think, seven wars, started seven wars.
00:46:05.000So whether tacitly or directly, and tacitly I say, you look at Donald Trump's body of work as an activist and you say, I'd rather vote for the guy who starts war as opposed to the guy who ends them.
00:47:12.000It's like, it's almost as if, I mean, that is kind of embedded in exactly what you said is kind of the substance of a paradigm shift, which is like, it used to be the right that was always reactionary and always responding from what the left did.
00:47:23.000And, you know, whatever they do, we have to oppose because we need to retain our traditions and values.
00:47:28.000But now it's almost like once Donald Trump took control of the Republican Party, it's like the left has to react to everything that they do and say, no, that's gotta be banned.
00:47:40.000Trump and Bernie were a generational flip that just shocked the whole system.
00:47:45.000Now Bernie lost, and Hillary won that primary.
00:47:49.000Donald Trump stormed his way into the Republican Party and brought with him a wave of You know, very much a shift from the traditional conservative model to a more left economic model.
00:48:00.000What about North Korea and the fact that he was palsy-walsy with... That's fantastic.
00:48:05.000I nearly cried when he was negotiating peace.
00:48:08.000My great-grandfather is from what would now be called North Korea, and the prospect of de-escalation was fascinating.
00:48:17.000Donald Trump crossed into North Korean territory with no security.
00:48:21.000That was one of the most profound anti-war moments of my life.
00:48:25.000We've been palsy-wowsy with the Saudi Arabians for generations, and nobody's called that into question because it's not one of the... But just think about this.
00:48:32.000Donald Trump crossed into North Korea with no security and walked peacefully up with Kim Jong-un, and my jaw hit the floor.
00:48:41.000I was like, they could have snatched him up.
00:48:43.000They could have grabbed him and said, now you give us what we want.
00:49:17.000I think they took advantage of Trump in many ways, but that was incredible.
00:49:21.000I'm looking at, uh, just as clarification, it looks like Bosnia's wasn't involved in the peace deal, but it was, it was, uh, Serbia and Kosovo.
00:49:33.000He wasn't definitely wasn't perfect, but it's nice to see somebody that's not part of the war machine.
00:49:37.000Look at the people who came out and were like, oh, the Obama administration, the ones who signed the indefinite detention provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act, Barack Obama, who authorized extrajudicial assassinations of American citizens, and they were like, I would rather have that guy, his vice president, than Donald Trump, who signed peace agreements and worked towards ending conflict internationally, no new wars, and they voted for Joe Biden.
00:50:33.000I remember marching in protests over the war in Iraq, and I was a teenager, so I knew very little, for the most part, about what was going on, other than, why are we invading this war over weapons of mass destruction and all that stuff, and we were told it wasn't true.
00:50:44.000People were marching with signs saying George W. Bush was Hitler and all that, and I was mostly just kind of like, yeah, punk rock, ooh, screw the system, George W. Bush is bad.
00:50:53.000And, uh, boy, was it a cold splash of water when we did it.
00:50:59.000And then I said, all right, well, the first thing Obama did, one of the first orders he signed was bombing a village full of women and children.
00:51:06.000And I said, guys, guys, hey, let's keep this protest going.
00:51:11.000All these anti-war protesters were gone.
00:51:13.000I think what happened was, this is the emergence of overt tribalism.
00:51:19.000Around the same time, Facebook and Twitter and these other social networks started emerging, and people developed tribal identities, which is, I support Barack Obama.
00:51:35.000Barack Obama authorized a drone strike on a civilian restaurant in Yemen, killing a 16-year-old American citizen named Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki.
00:51:44.000And the response from the White House when asked about it was, oops, we were trying to kill a different terrorist by bombing a civilian restaurant.
00:51:51.000Just so turns out, though, Anwar al-Awlaki, his dad, was an American citizen who was also killed in an extrajudicial assassination signed off by Obama.
00:52:00.000And to me, it sounded like Obama was sending a signal, we will kill your children.
00:52:25.000So here you have a guy who is quite literally killing not only children in these countries.
00:52:30.000Under the Obama administration, in order to get around the fact that it was being reported they were executing civilians by drone, they said, if the male is over 18, we don't care what they're doing.
00:52:40.000Carrying water, harvesting crops, raising goats, they're enemy combatants because they're military age.
00:52:45.000When our good friend Luke Rutkowski confronted the administration on the execution of the American citizen, I can't remember the guy's name.
00:53:12.000To beat out all warmongers, she ain't getting my vote either.
00:53:15.000And then in Donald Trump's presidency, we saw a return of American manufacturing, we saw a $3 billion investment in Michigan, we saw a challenging of the racist policies coming out of critical race theory, and we saw no new wars, we saw historic peace agreements and attempts at other historic peace agreements, and I said, I gotta vote for this guy.
00:53:33.000And now what we have is the people who are supposed to be anti-war are the ones who are going around smashing windows and starting fires, cheering on intervention and bombing in Ukraine, calling for no-fly zones.
00:53:45.000There was never in my life, I think, I was taken for a ride early on when these people claimed they were anti-war, but the whole time they were just, I want power and I will say whatever I have to say to get it.
00:53:55.000Obama did run on a platform of, you know, non-intervention and pulling out of Middle Eastern conflicts, and ultimately it was quite the contrary, you know?
00:54:20.000With respect to Ukraine, I actually think that that's probably correct, which is the majority of, you know, progressives.
00:54:27.000Yeah, if you, um, Bette Midler, she posted a picture of like a three-year-old Ukrainian girl waving a flag and she's like, we have to do it for her.
00:54:35.000You know, it's like, be, you know, be brave or whatever.
00:54:37.000Just seeing the call, like, uh, I think it was Chris Coons.
00:56:25.000So the people who are like, you know, the feminists on YouTube, the people who claim to be feminists were the ones saying we should elect the warmonger president with a corrupt son who was doing illicit business dealings in China and Ukraine.
00:56:37.000And I'm just like, these people have become just overtly evil, overtly.
00:56:42.000Not like Trump's core cult members are good people, but Donald Trump did such tremendous good.
00:56:48.000I would rather the United States have internal problems than be blowing up kids in foreign countries.
00:56:55.000Well, we definitely have internal problems, so you're winning on that one.
00:56:58.000I'd rather, if it was one or the other, you bring these problems here, we can work to solve them.
00:58:56.000Now, when I say that, they say, you're conservative.
00:58:58.000And I'm like, I didn't say anything about abortion or taxes, and that doesn't matter.
00:59:02.000And if you tell the truth, they don't come on the show.
00:59:05.000Because if they do, we can show them the facts, and it's forcing them, with their audience in tow, to acknowledge that they were lying to their audience.
00:59:14.000Yeah, but to continue talking us-them doesn't help anybody.
00:59:19.000Well, I was just going to say that, you know, you said the left's consensus on truth is, like, truth is power.
00:59:27.000I think it really did come out of, like, the counterculture movement of the 60s and 70s and post-World War II Europe, where, like, critical theory was this idea that modernity and all the institutions that have been built up around it were like, we need to reexamine this.
00:59:40.000All of the great works that propelled Western civilization forward, all of these ideas about science, we need to question all of it.
00:59:48.000And so critical theory is like, you know, the waves of feminism that we're talking about are successive waves of critiquing and critiquing.
00:59:55.000And at a certain point, the critique becomes the mainstream.
01:00:01.000I suppose my question is, why do you think it is you didn't know that Barack Obama ordered a drone strike on a civilian restaurant killing an American child?
01:00:10.000I don't know, and I'm still listening with half an ear.
01:00:54.000And Tucker's had his goofy segments where he's like, M&Ms aren't sexy or whatever.
01:00:59.000Rachel Maddow, however, like for years just egged on insane conspiracy theories about Russia that were just so over the top and without basis.
01:01:08.000Any rational person should have stopped for a moment and say, is this lady lying to me?
01:01:12.000The thing about truth and honesty is if you believe something is real, but it's not, and you tell someone it's real, you're wrong, but you're not lying.
01:01:20.000You don't because you're not intentionally deceiving them.
01:01:24.000So a lot of people are just wrong because they haven't done the research or they haven't seen the research or it's been obfuscated from them or all the above.
01:01:30.000So when Taylor Lorenz of the Washington Post She puts a direct link to the private home address of an individual in her story and then there's a backlash.
01:01:42.000So the Washington Post removes it and then issues a public statement, statement, we did not link to private details.
01:01:52.000That is a lie because they removed it, which means they knew it was there, which means the statement after the fact is a provable lie.
01:02:00.000And for whatever reason, these Democrat voter progressive activists, people like Matt Binder, who never emailed to come on the show even though he agreed to, just pretend like it's true.
01:02:10.000Because these people are, they have the fascistic tenet, there is no truth but power.
01:02:16.000And that's me citing the anarchist anthropologist, the late David Graeber.
01:02:23.000You've always followed the traditional news sources, and we always have conversations where it's like, wait, what are you talking about?
01:02:29.000What is this thing that's going on that's apparently a problem that I haven't heard about?
01:02:33.000And it's because all of those corporate institutions that tell people what's going on in the world, it behooves them not to pay attention to those things that are upsetting to the status quo.
01:02:44.000Well, the rules of the game have changed.
01:02:46.000I mean, there aren't any rules anymore, it seems.
01:02:49.000And it seems like the only people following the rules are what is colloquially known as the right.
01:03:13.000I look a little bit like a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal who would, you know, be like one of those, you know, Trump-supporting monkeys.
01:03:21.000And so then they saw the photo of me after being pepper-sprayed and they, you know, took that surface level assumption but really if they had have looked you know even for 10 minutes they would have realized that they relied on my reporting in Kenosha so really what it was there is oh he's you know he's a rioter he's a Trump supporter we don't even need to do our due diligence because he's you know he just doesn't deserve and the photograph was taken in front of that you know that famous photo with the door punched that was shattered and they said who punched the door yeah so if they if I mean can you imagine my mom was so pissed she was like who is
01:05:35.000When Ben Shapiro went on this show, he was sitting next to a trans woman, and when he gave his opinion, the trans woman grabbed him and threatened to put him in the hospital.
01:05:43.000Ben Shapiro still will invite people to come debate him.
01:05:49.000To be fair, Ben told us, he's like, I don't ask for debates, I ask for conversations.
01:05:55.000When he tried showing up to DePaul in Chicago, The police told him if he took one more step, he would be arrested because it's a safety risk.
01:06:03.000These people have been burning down buildings to prevent conversations.
01:06:07.000They threatened to burn down the theater where we were hosting our event because they wanted to stop.
01:06:14.000The theater said, sue me, I don't care.
01:06:16.000The damages I'd have to pay you are cheaper than me rebuilding my theater.
01:06:20.000So we had to move the event because there's a certain level of threat and pressure that normal people cannot tolerate.
01:06:27.000When Antifa is allowed to kill these Black Lives Matter rioters at Antifa, their rioting resulted in the death of between 26 and 32 people.
01:06:39.000She solicited donations on Twitter to bail these people out of jail.
01:06:43.000Joe Biden's staff member solicited donations, or actually gave donations to bail these people out.
01:06:48.000When you have the January 17th rioters, I'm sorry, the January 20th rioters in 2017, Trump's inauguration, they torched a limo that belonged to an immigrant, they smashed a bunch of windows, and when the police arrested them, They all got off.
01:07:06.000In fact, not only did they get off, they sued DC and won millions of dollars.
01:07:10.000So now you have somebody who owns a venue and they get a phone call and they say, we're Antifa and you know what'll happen.
01:07:17.000They'll say anything you say because the right isn't going to do this.
01:07:23.000But if a bunch of right-wingers go to the Capitol, they'll get a year in solitary confinement.
01:07:28.000If you get 90 to 100 plus days of left-wing extremists firebombing a federal building in the Pacific Northwest, a handful of these people get charged for sure, but only the ones who really push the boundaries.
01:07:43.000For the most part, it's like anybody who even walked in the building, you know, befuddled, are getting called a violent terrorist extremist and having their jobs destroyed.
01:07:53.000A woman who didn't even go in had her home raided in Alaska.
01:07:56.000It's very obvious that when, you know, Bubba, what was his name, Bubba Wallace?
01:08:00.000Has 12 FBI gents, or however many, storm NASCAR over a garage pole rope, but you can't get the FBI to investigate, you know, very serious crimes like, you know, That we've seen with Antifa, then you have to wonder.
01:08:15.000I want to keep that one a little vague, but I've had my dealings where we're wondering, like, why isn't, you know, with our security issues, where's law enforcement?
01:08:23.000Like, there's an active investigation, maybe something will happen, but we've had death threats, we've had people call in fake police raids to this building eight times, and the bomb squad has shown up.
01:08:47.000I mean, well, my point is that now it's the, you know, that those groups aren't the ones that are representing the same existential threat.
01:08:58.000Those people were pro-free speech, right?
01:09:02.000Which side is pro-free speech and anti-war right now?
01:09:04.000So those who are for free speech, the rights of the people, who are for pushing back against corrupt corporate power and war, that would be described as, today, the right.
01:09:15.000The left is, they're not protesting, I don't want to confuse that protest we saw in the chamber because that was debunked, but there are people outraged that DeSantis stripped Disney of their tax privileges.
01:09:28.000A massive multinational corporation, the left is like, we should give tax cuts, these people should be allowed.
01:09:33.000Ron DeSantis, what he's doing is wrong.
01:09:35.000It's just like, why are you cheering for the corporations?
01:09:38.000They're outraged that Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter, saying, oh no, we can't let billionaires get social media, but they've been defending these same billionaires for a decade, saying it's a private company, they can do what they want.
01:09:50.000So I don't think, I think left and right are just Tribal signifiers.
01:10:00.000There's so many different people with so many different thoughts.
01:10:03.000If someone thinks that they're another to you, particularly for you, if you're like, the left is horrible and that guy's a leftist, that guy's going to be like, well then, dude, I don't want to be near you if you're going to call me that.
01:10:13.000Ian, I think you have an issue with trying to dissect for the sake of argument instead of actually engaging with the argument.
01:10:21.000Well, I think this is a part of the reason why you're having trouble inviting certain people on.
01:10:25.000If you predispose them as being part of this evil idea or group, then it's going to be a lot harder to get them to be like, okay, he's cool.
01:10:32.000Well, you are very passionate about it, Tim.
01:12:16.000Well, we're in a paradigm shift, right?
01:12:18.000So like some of our definitions of things like left and right, Republican and Democrat are changing.
01:12:23.000And so I think a byproduct of that is always going to be some degree of uncomfortability where people are like, oh, I'm outside of my comfort zone.
01:12:29.000This isn't exactly the way that I grew up that I knew everything to be.
01:12:32.000So, like, on the one hand, you're saying, oh, we can't be using these terms because it kind of casts people in these, whatever, antiquated boxes.
01:12:40.000But also, if you don't use words, then how can you communicate, you know, any kind of ideas, like, about these political, you know, ideas?
01:13:00.000Like, you know, you gotta kind of understand people and listen to them as they are without labeling them.
01:13:06.000It's tempting to want to put people in boxes so that you can understand them maybe better, but it's just about calming people down, really.
01:13:24.000It doesn't matter what you want to call it.
01:13:26.000The point is, what I'm showing you here is there's many different lines, and there's many different points.
01:13:31.000And they're all very far away from each other.
01:13:33.000But some of them, there's still a very clear split between the two groups.
01:13:38.000But you'll notice in the middle, they overlap a little bit.
01:13:40.000The point is, using terms like left and right, as I often say, are not absolute, which you seem to think they are.
01:13:48.000It's a description of the spheres of influence that exist and have a slight merger at the point where there's some, you know, maybe, what do they call it, the stressed sideliners, what Pew Research called them.
01:14:02.000For the most part, however, everyone seems to fall on one side either by 0.1 degrees or by 100 degrees.
01:14:09.000The fact remains, left and right are simply things we use to describe the umbrellas that surround the two different parent factions.
01:14:19.000I thought Thomas Massey came on the show a few months ago and he was pretty said something pretty profound where he said in the back of like the chamber where the Congress hangs out there's two dressing rooms specifically like they built it to have two political parties.
01:14:40.000They want to be like two teams trying to win.
01:14:42.000Well it's an easy way to have a huge democracy where people have the air of you know things going back and forth when in reality They're not.
01:14:49.000It's like people think that they, you know, represent, oh, this side's fighting for me, but then in reality, it's just two sides that are basically going in the same direction.
01:14:58.000So right now, leftists are posting fake tweets and fake quotes from me that say things like, Tim Poole has called for the death of this person, or that dude the other day on Tim's show, he was saying that people need to go out and get violent against this group of people.
01:15:21.000So what happens is the people in that sphere of influence now typically believe these things.
01:15:26.000And it's really remarkable when, for some reason, conservatives think I'm an atheist, which I've never said, and people on the left claim that I'm a far-right religious conservative, which I've also never claimed.
01:15:38.000But a fair point, from your perspective, if you want to think I'm more religious because I do believe in God.
01:15:43.000But when they say things like, You know, Tim believes this thing about taxes.
01:15:47.000And I'm like, every time I've talked about taxes, I've talked about, like, the need for higher tax brackets and a stronger progressive tax on the wealthy.
01:15:54.000Even Steve Bannon has said, tax the rich.
01:15:56.000But they'll lie and make fake quotes, and then in that sphere of influence, which is absolutely split between two parent umbrellas, they all believe that.
01:16:06.000So when I get into a conversation with someone on the left, which I recently did, He said something like, You're pro-doxing, Tim.
01:16:13.000You would absolutely dox Antifa at a moment's notice.
01:16:19.000Docs means to publish the private details of an individual, like their phone number, their home, their name.
01:16:24.000And I said, no, I actually have a huge policy against that.
01:16:27.000And I often avoid saying names on my show to prevent what's called a brigade when everyone targets an individual.
01:16:34.000And he was like, no, I heard you say, he's like, I remember during Occupy Wall Street, you were trying to film people's faces and publish their names.
01:16:45.000Everybody knows it because they lied and made these things up.
01:16:48.000What really happened is during Occupy Wall Street, I was walking down the street and I saw three people wearing masks deflating police tires.
01:16:59.000And I said, transparency is what matters.
01:17:01.000If something is happening in public, I'm going to film it.
01:17:04.000If you don't want your identity revealed, wear a mask.
01:17:08.000So what they did was, okay, that's a tenet most people would actually agree with.
01:17:12.000If you are in the public and you are causing damage, we have a right to know what you're doing for whatever cause.
01:17:18.000You can wear a mask if you want to protect your identity.
01:17:20.000But if you're in public during a protest doing these things, people will see you do it.
01:17:24.000What grounds do you have to violently assault on someone who happens to have a camera?
01:17:28.000Knowing that they have no winning argument, they changed it and just lied and said Tim Pool was trying to take their masks off and publish their names.
01:17:56.000Is you can propagate whatever you want and it won't, you know, like you were saying with Barack Obama blowing up an American citizen and not being properly reported on why my mom didn't know about it.
01:18:08.000It's like I was working at NBC during Obama, the end of Obama's second term, and it was like the degree to which, you know, these people had gotten their jobs in the White House press corps specifically because they asked all the right questions.
01:18:19.000You ask a question about that drone blowing up that American citizen in that White House briefing, you can say goodbye to asking any more questions to the, you know, the press secretary.
01:18:27.000So it's like after 40 years of us going like, you know, kind of in the same direction, left or right, didn't matter because you had this institution of the media that was just wasn't going to question it.
01:19:22.000It was when Gordon Sondland was testifying in the Ukrainegate scandal to impeach Donald Trump.
01:19:29.000In his statement, he said, there was no quid pro quo, but I felt like there was one.
01:19:37.000So CBS reports Sondland confirms quid pro quo.
01:19:42.000Fox News, quote, Sondland, no quid pro quo.
01:19:46.000The reality is that the Fox News statement was the correct statement because the opinion of someone and how they thought or felt is immaterial to what was actually occurring at the time.
01:19:55.000Yet people who watched that network Uh, well, they believe fake news.
01:20:02.000Whenever I try to pull it up on the show, it doesn't let me.
01:20:05.000What was it like when Kennedy, I mean, you were pretty young, but like with Kennedy, you know, was he like a transformative, like, did he upset the discourse and kind of half the country in the same way that Trump did?
01:20:16.000Yes, mostly because he was a Catholic.
01:20:51.000They're making us play political football with each other.
01:20:53.000But who was against the Iraq war and the WMD narrative at that time?
01:20:57.000CNN and MSNBC were just as on board as Fox.
01:20:59.000And that's what we were talking about earlier, which is like, there is a certain, you know, No go zone, and it's politically incorrect to not, you know, you can't mention anything about anything other than pro-Ukraine.
01:21:13.000Same thing during the Iraq war, which was like, if you're, if you support the hijackers on 9-11, then sure, you might question the Iraq war, but otherwise, you know, and there was such a fear from people in the public eye.
01:21:24.000I remember sitting with dad, like switching between the channels and being like, yeah, look, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, they all say the same thing about the war.
01:21:32.000Because like you said, the left used to be anti-war.
01:21:35.000Yeah, Luke Rutkowski did phenomenal work about 9-11, and all sorts of evidence that the war in Afghanistan was full of it.
01:21:41.000All this evidence that it wasn't what the mainstream media told us, the buildings fall in freaking free fall, it looks like sometimes, and like... No, Ian, you're unqualified.
01:21:50.000Even people like Tim has to yell out, or chooses to yell out against, but it's like, how honest can you be on this?
01:21:54.000No, because I don't like to say things you don't know.
01:21:56.000I just watched a long documentary on it.
01:21:58.000Can I go back to feminism for a minute?
01:22:00.000I want to hear what Lydia has to say because You are of a much younger generation than me and how do you perceive feminism in your generation?
01:22:45.000I've done the same thing with Instagram.
01:22:47.000I made a tweet about how or I commented on Instagram that I thought that modern women were like lost and Instagram immediately took my comment down.
01:22:58.000It's really weird, but women think that everybody's on their side and they feel like they're winning this war, but at the same time, they're being introduced like transgender athletes and men are kind of taking over these things that were once sacred spaces of women, like these spas where women are being exposed to men in their locker rooms and all these strange, weird, gross assaults are happening.
01:23:24.000We're going to go along with it because we're nice and we're friendly and everyone's nice to us.
01:23:28.000I think that people have really taken advantage of women's caring, compassionate, safety oriented nature to get the better of them and to get their political aims through.
01:23:37.000So this means things like opening the border.
01:23:40.000This means things like bringing people in from other countries instead of focusing on the people who live here first and foremost.
01:23:47.000It seems to me like Jordan Peterson talks about how we've never before seen Feminine political pathology.
01:23:53.000We've seen masculine political pathology.
01:23:56.000That's when things get wild and crazy and bellicose.
01:23:59.000But we haven't seen the feminine form.
01:24:01.000And I think this is what we're seeing.
01:24:03.000And I think it's a different kind of sickness that we don't really know how to handle, just because it is so new.
01:24:08.000And I think this might be one of the things that kind of disorients you about it, because I think that's what underpins a lot of the problems we see now.
01:24:16.000And like when we talk about, you know, feminists want to go to war or whatever, it's true that it's not all feminists, but it's the loudest ones.
01:24:25.000They've got the Ukrainian flag in their Twitter bio and they are out there saying, we have to defend these poor children, even though it's in the best interest of Americans to stay out of that.
01:24:35.000Do you know the Greek, I don't know if it's a play, it's called Lysistrata.
01:24:53.000Women have a kind of soft power that influences cultures.
01:24:57.000And I feel like there are Kind of like dark forces that have kind of manipulated that so that they get women to do what they want by being nice, by being friendly, by saying, we're going to protect queer kids.
01:25:09.000We're going to make sure that everyone's safe.
01:25:11.000We're going to bring all these people into our country.
01:25:14.000And because women aren't having children and they don't have their own families to defend anymore, they're like, you know what?
01:25:29.000So is that your free love movement that screwed over the women in the long run?
01:25:33.000Because that, I mean, what Lydia just, what you just mentioned in the play is, you know, women using the power that they have as women, which is as the gatekeepers to sex and the free love movement got rid of that.
01:26:38.000I think that's the perfect example, though.
01:26:40.000The example that Tim just gave, which is the fear that I think, you know, like a lot of our generation has, like a lot of my peers is like, Oh, okay.
01:26:48.000Unless I'm following the current thing, unless I'm up to date on where I should be on feminism and the war in Ukraine, if I say the wrong thing, then they're going to call me right-winger.
01:26:57.000And that's the worst thing that can be called pejoratively in polite societies.
01:27:01.000But don't you think there's something to taking all of this seriously?
01:27:32.000Which totally manipulated the vote, in my opinion, because it diluted the numbers of votes for whomever, you know, might have won, in my opinion.
01:29:27.000So now you have millennials who are just saddled with debt It is predatory interest rates where people who have taken out a $20,000 loan are now, 10 years later, they've paid back $50,000 and they owe $100,000.
01:29:54.000And then so what's happening now is millennials, Basically indentured servants in many, many ways are looking at the boomer generation who own all this property and keep buying it up and they can't move.
01:30:07.000So they're getting more and more extreme.
01:30:09.000They've dealt with two major economic crises, 2008 and now the pandemic.
01:31:36.000The kids that are born after 9-11 are born thinking that it's normal to be at war across the ocean, and I think that's twisted people beyond measure.
01:31:43.000Yeah, I don't think of it that way, but I guess that's true.
01:31:49.000And that's why when Joe Biden is running against Trump, the majority of the youth vote goes Democratic, for the ones that do vote, because they're like, I don't know, war's normal, right?
01:32:00.000So when Trump's like, let's stop the war, they're like, no, why should we change that?
01:32:04.000We like getting free oil by, you know, blowing up kids, right?
01:32:13.000So, you know, I remember My grandpa was talking about social security numbers, and he was saying how back in the day, you didn't have to get one until you were like, when they first implemented, people were outraged.
01:32:24.000Like, I'm going to register a number with the government?
01:32:59.000It just isn't the same as it ever was.
01:33:01.000In Vietnam, they implanted journalists in with the soldiers and you would see guys getting carried out on stretchers and just the most vile stuff.
01:33:07.000And that was like, that was enough to bring about the consciousness to end that thing.
01:33:10.000But here they just have dudes like riding on tanks with a flag, waving a flag and be like, we're going to Baghdad.
01:33:15.000They don't see the doors getting kicked in, the people getting...
01:33:19.000Annihilated by the troops, which is what also what was happening It's been hidden from the people Man, I want to put body cameras and help helmet cams on soldiers live stream it I think people need to share this show with their parents Because, you know, I was hanging out with a good friend of mine over the holidays whose parents were totally in disbelief at even the most basic things I could say, like, Victor Shokin, the prosecutor in Ukraine, was fired because Joe Biden threatened to withhold illegally U.S.
01:33:48.000aid to Ukraine, so the president intervened on Joe Biden's behalf.
01:33:51.000And Joe Biden likely did this, in my opinion, because Victor Shokin was investigating a company called Burisma, where Joe Biden's son, Hunter, was on the board, earning $83,000 a month.
01:34:20.000Mom's been having, she's been having like, just like not a red pill, but just like, just like, you know, how like you have a pill with little granules in there, like one granule a day.
01:36:24.000I think I want to hire maybe like five people to go petition in like New York or Chicago or LA.
01:36:32.000And the petition would be for international immunity for Barack Obama over the extrajudicial assassination of a 16-year-old American citizen.
01:36:41.000And they would say, well, look, you know, Obama did this, but we're looking for support to say that he should be immune from prosecution.
01:37:04.000So back in, you know, the Obama era, Barack Obama ordered what's called an extrajudicial assassination.
01:37:13.000Now, this was when a drone went to Yemen and blew up a civilian restaurant.
01:37:19.000Now, there was a 16-year-old American citizen in that restaurant who died named Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki.
01:37:25.000We want to make sure that, moving forward, that Barack Obama will not be charged with war crimes or crimes in the United States, because, I mean, you know, killing U.S.
01:37:35.000citizens is illegal, so we're hoping you would sign this document.
01:37:50.000We used to do those all the time, like Man on the Streets during the Trump years, which is like you read a bunch of Obama quotes, you know, because the things have swung so far left that you read a bunch of Obama quotes and you say, what do you think about what Trump said?
01:38:02.000And then, you know, they say it's terrible.
01:38:04.000And then you say, actually, Barack Obama said that.
01:38:06.000But this one will be funny because it'll be a guy wearing a vest and it'll be called like, you know, defend the Dems and it'll be like, hi, I've got a petition here.
01:38:13.000We want to make sure Obama is immune from prosecution for the 16 year old that he murdered.

01:41:27.000Give us your humble and loyal fans a graphene fun fact.
01:41:30.000And Tim, please make some TimCast brand beanies.
01:41:33.000You can take a 64 sided piece of graphene and turn it into a ball.
01:41:38.000And I believe that's called a bucky ball.
01:41:41.000Created by Buckminster Fuller or popularized by the man and you can put stuff inside it like medicine and then send it through carbon nanotubes also made of graphene to their destination.
01:41:52.000Alright, Nicholas Stalter says, I watch you almost every single day, and I'm always bored going through YouTube during work outside, and being able to come here right when it starts was amazing.
01:42:01.000Keep up the good work, and glory to Chicken City!
01:42:04.000Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.
01:42:08.000So, Timcast IRL is the number two most super-chatted show in the United States, followed by number three, Fresh and Fit, followed by number four, Rikada Law, followed by number five, The Enforcer, followed by number six, Chicken City!
01:42:34.000I would like to point out I was wrong about that fact just a minute ago about the graphene.
01:42:40.000There are 60 pieces of carbon in there.
01:42:44.000My understanding, maybe I'm wrong, but I believe that Timcast IRL is the uh number one human like live action super chatted show in the world i could be wrong about that there may be one might be but i'm pretty sure everyone above us are vtubers which is like animated women chicken city is now number 31 in the world for those who didn't see it i posted an instagram the last chicken city stream has 245 000 views so a lot of people on twitter are demoralized and they're like what am i doing wrong people love chickens dude do you know that chickens used to be a religious symbol
01:43:25.000Because chickens would lay eggs every day, it was a symbol of life and fertility.
01:43:30.000So they used the chicken and the rooster as like... Yeah, because chickens originated in Southeast Asia, the red jungle fowl, were first bred to fight.
01:43:40.000But because they lay eggs every day, you get eggs every day.
01:44:24.000And if you make me sheriff, I'm going to put an end to that and I'll make sure that the money gets back into the hands of the hens and the chickies.
01:44:30.000Richie, not only are there no open borders, the chickens are literally being interred.
01:44:56.000We're gonna have, um, I think we're gonna have, like, a big announcement next week I'm really excited about, because, um, let's just say we, a lot of what we've been working on has been infrastructure stuff, so you guys are gonna be super excited for this.
01:47:44.000At the base of the tower, it's just swinging a little bit.
01:47:46.000They actually didn't talk about it collapsing in the Bible.
01:47:48.000They just talked about it going up and then God scattering people.
01:47:51.000I think the birth of this nation started with an unstable foundation.
01:47:59.000And it's quite literally that Thomas Jefferson made a compromise with slave states because
01:48:03.000they needed the support to win the revolution.
01:48:06.000As much as many of these northern states did have slaves, there was initially a provision.
01:48:11.000One of the statements in the Declaration of Independence was that the king had taken people from a different country and brought them there to wage war on them.
01:48:19.000They had to take that out because Jefferson was worried the southern states, which were very dependent on slavery for their economies, or I should very much just say preferred that and didn't want to do the work.
01:48:29.000He was like, whatever you guys want to join our effort.
01:49:04.000You look at the polls for what's happening in December, and whatever it is the Democrats have decided to embrace is becoming widely rejected by the American people.
01:49:15.000But at that time, at the time that you're discussing, that was the left and the right were Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian, which in a weird way were almost, you know, agrarians versus industrial.
01:51:09.000I always think like we, I was like, we, you know, we should do for, um, I wanted to use chicken city chat as our like members only chat on the website.
01:54:37.000So within the spectrum of the political compass, like of political ideas, there's a window of socially acceptable thought that moves around.
01:54:46.000And the idea is that today it's being pulled all the way to the left.
01:54:50.000So if you are a moderate Or a conservative, they say, you are far right.
01:54:56.000You're not, but to the Overton window, you're on the right edge or outside of it.
01:55:43.000Keith McCracken says, if the fans of the show really want Elon on the show, then y'all should do a massive flood of tweets of, go on Timcast IRL to Elon.
01:55:56.000When, um, I was like, the original beef with Joe, where he, Joe Rogan invited me on his show and then canceled, and then I flew, I flew out, he canceled, then he invited me on again, then I flew out and he canceled.
01:56:06.000I was just like, dude doesn't owe me any favors.
01:56:08.000Like, Elon, the richest man in the world, owes me nothing, and I don't think tweeting at him is like... I don't think everybody just blasting him.
01:56:21.000It would be amazing if we had Elon and Jack Dorsey on the show.
01:56:25.000So, but I think it's impossible because Jack's on the board of Twitter.
01:56:29.000Never really seen Elon in this kind of like, I mean, you've seen him on Joe Rogan and you've seen him on like Babylon B, but like in terms of like, I mean, like you just asked Tina, you know, like what, you know, like these political questions that nobody wants to answer specifically because they're hot button issues.
01:56:48.000That would be interesting to hear him, you know, voice his opinion on a lot of those things.
01:56:52.000Like, I think the one thing I really love to bring up in this context is the Ahmaud Arbery case, because it feels like I'm the only one.
01:57:00.000There's like a small handful of people who are actually challenging the results in that case, but even conservatives are on board with, you know, what I would describe as gross injustice.
01:57:10.000So it's because of the window that you're talking about, which is like, well, that's just that's something you don't talk about.
01:57:15.000I think it's because conservatives are cowardly, like obviously not every single one.
01:57:21.000But when Kyle Rittenhouse got acquitted, they all celebrated and people were crying.
01:57:27.000And then when the Ahmaud Arbery case went down and the McMichaels and that other guy got convicted, they were like, well, You know, we got our win already, so we'll say, see, the system worked, and I'm like, are you nuts?
01:59:50.000Luckily my dad is a doctor so... He walked right over and just pulled it and said, you're fine.
01:59:55.000Yeah, his thing was he would like have me come in for my cast and then I'd bring in my hockey stick so he could mold the hockey stick around the cast.
02:00:11.000I'm thinking that when they booted Robbie Starbuck off of the primary ballot because they claimed he wasn't a Republican, they should earn the ire of angry people who are outraged over the corruption of the Republican Party.
02:01:20.000You want to contact the people that are in the offices, and you want to contact their secretaries, and you want to overload them with information so that they have no choice but to listen.
02:01:30.000It was 14 vouchers, or 14 affirming vouching people?
02:01:49.000I'm extremely livid about this because I've been telling people, hey, vote in the primaries.
02:01:53.000Make sure we get real people, young people, active people to get involved in politics, to help change this world.
02:01:59.000And then when you get someone who is prominent, respectable, successful like Robbie, they play dirty games to make it so he can't be on the Republican ballot for the primary.
02:02:11.000So, you know, the Republican Party does not have my vote.
02:02:19.000I voted for Trump only because I did not like Biden, and Trump had really good—he had proven himself, as I explained earlier in the show.
02:02:25.000But if the Republicans think in the midterms they're getting my votes, it ain't gonna happen when they play games like this.
02:02:31.000Now, I understand this is the Tennessee GOP.

02:05:09.000I was told it's not family friendly to have poop and fart jokes.
02:06:12.000Would either of you like to shout anything out?
02:06:15.000I just shout out my mom for giving birth to me and also my campaign to take over Chicken City.
02:06:21.000I think the issue is, as mayor of Chicken City, there'd be like labor laws involved, like I'd have to pay you money and Roberto is... I'm just grateful that you had me at this table at age 70, so thank you.
