On today's show, we discuss the latest in the Daunte Wright and Jesse Smollett cases, the removal of the Cuomo brothers from CNN, and the controversy surrounding Johnny the Walrus, a new book about a trans walrus. We also hear from Luke Welsh, creator of the We Are Change T-Shirt.
00:01:46.000We charted number four, my story about a trans walrus.
00:01:50.000And we sold out, but we're going to restock it.
00:01:52.000Go to johnnythewalrus.com and get the book.
00:01:55.000And I saw the reviews are all pretty good.
00:01:58.000People being like, hey, this is a great thing.
00:01:59.000Yeah, I think all the reviews are people that didn't actually read the book yet, but still, you know, they could just tell based on the cover.
00:02:07.000I think we got sent one, and I'm pretty sure I did read it.
00:02:21.000So they're upset about the implicit narrative.
00:02:25.000It's also funny because the book is about a little child who's imaginative and creative and, you know, he pretends to be different things.
00:02:33.000And then he pretends to be a walrus one day and he's got, like, wood spoons in his mouth as tusks.
00:02:37.000And then his mother endeavors to actually raise him as a walrus, because she's been told by the internet that you have to raise a child however they identify.
00:02:46.000So I don't say anything about trans in the book, so the critics that are saying it, they're the ones kind of making that connection.
00:03:03.000My YouTube channel is We Are Change, and one of my core principles is that If you need violence to enforce your ideas, then your ideas are worthless.
00:03:13.000And I was like, hey, that could make a really good t-shirt.
00:04:03.000I'm excited to talk about this kid's book because I was listening to Matt talk about it on the way on my commute and I was like, this is actually a really good idea and I think people are liable to dismiss it and think it's silly but at the same time... Just because the pages are cardboard, people think it's not serious literature.
00:04:32.000Well, he's kind of in the same position I am because he's written like real books and he's got his blank book and he'll never sell as many copies of any real book as he will the blank book and I'm in the same.
00:04:43.000I wrote two real books and nobody read them and then I write this and it sells out in one day.
00:04:49.000I think it's useful to parents who want that message so it makes sense.
00:04:53.000But, uh, alright, before we get started, ladies and gentlemen, go to Lightbug.com.
00:04:57.000L-Y-T-E-B-U-G.com for probably the simplest product we've ever had sponsor the show.
00:05:06.000It is a solar-powered LED light with multiple settings.
00:05:09.000It's got this little solar panel here.
00:05:11.000and it can actually fold up 180 degrees you can use to prop it up so if you need an emergency light or emergency kit for your car or your cabin or maybe you're going off-roading or something and you want it this thing's really cool because not only is it a light it's also a USB phone charger so it's kind of like a big bulky version of what we shouted out yesterday which was the solar charger It's a solar-powered battery.
00:05:30.000This one, it's actually a solar-powered light.
00:05:32.000And it just so happens, you can charge your phone off it.
00:05:49.000Shout out to these companies that are willing to sponsor shows like this, because of course we talk about We talk about things that the mainstream, the establishment, the corporate press aren't big fans of.
00:05:58.000So any one of these companies that wants to get behind the work we do, we're eternally grateful for.

00:06:19.000We put them up every night around 11 or so PM, so you're not going to want to miss it.
00:06:25.000A lot of swearing, a lot of nasty stories, but you know, this is the real, the dark stuff that we like to get into.
00:06:30.000But don't forget also to smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, and I'm also extremely excited to announce YouTube actually approved our Step on Snek and Find Out shirt, and now it is pinned in the chat.
00:06:41.000Because we put that up over a month ago, it's a month and a half, and YouTube was not approving it, and then all of a sudden it appeared, and now we're able to pin it.
00:06:49.000So if you haven't I haven't seen that yet.
00:06:51.000Actually, I don't think I have it pulled up, but you should check it out.
00:07:00.000We got this story from the New York Times.
00:07:02.000CNN suspends Chris Cuomo after new details on help he gave his brother.
00:07:08.000The cable news network's top-rated anchor was an enthusiastic advisor to Andrew Cuomo in the last 18 months of his governorship, but I love how they don't use the headline, Chris Cuomo suspended indefinitely after stalking the victims of his creepy Cuomo brother.
00:07:24.000Instead, they're like, well, he was helping his brother.
00:07:26.000It's almost like they're trying to make it sound like a good thing and get people to be like, how could they do that to Chris Cuomo?
00:07:31.000But this is an example of media collusion, Democrat-friendly media.
00:07:42.000And they not only give favorable coverage to their Democrat buddies, Chris Cuomo not only helped cover up or at least Not report on, to be as fair as I can, the elderly who are being killed in these nursing homes, but he actively assisted his brother.
00:07:57.000It's a conflict of interest for the network, it's a conflict of interest for him personally, but the craziest thing about it was that he was actually trying to dig up dirt on those who were accusing his brother.
00:08:07.000I'm surprised to hear it, that CNN's actually suspending him.
00:08:11.000Nobody believed it was gonna happen, I don't know what you guys think.
00:08:19.000He's gone already, but there's also a potato head in there and other Vanderbilts.
00:08:24.000There's a lot of different people in there, but regardless of that, it's interesting to see him suspended because it's also going to be interesting to see if he got paid vacation for this.
00:08:34.000But with the way CNN has been behaving, I wouldn't be surprised if they pull off another Lubin-Tubin Kind of incident and he comes back in six months and then gives kind of a half-assed apology and then kind of continues on with his trauma-based mind control that he kind of spews to the general public.
00:08:50.000So I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.
00:08:52.000A lot of people are saying why wasn't he fired?
00:08:54.000I do think he's gonna come back but that's just my own personal opinion later down when everything kind of dies down.
00:08:59.000Yeah, I think for me, I wish I could join in the parade of celebration.
00:09:04.000And I don't like Chris Cuomo either, and I'm happy that, I mean, I think he deserves to get fired.
00:09:08.000It couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.
00:09:10.000But at the same time, you just know that they're going to replace him with someone who's 50 times worse.
00:09:15.000It's the same thing that happened in New York, and everybody on the right was celebrating because Andrew Cuomo got the ax.
00:09:20.000And I was, I'm usually taking the cynical view of things.
00:09:24.000So in that case, I'm thinking, well, There's a reason why the left has decided to throw this guy into the bus, because they never throw their own guys into the bus.
00:09:32.000And they're only going to do it if they know they have somebody waiting in the wings who's going to be even more their servant on the far left.
00:09:37.000And so then Cathy Hockule gets in there.
00:10:00.000So certainly, I know it's, you know, a little silly to bring up, but I'm willing to bet that there are culty wokists who are just like, what can we do to remove these guys?
00:10:12.000Now, truth be told, Andrew Cuomo, there's pictures of him grabbing people.
00:10:17.000And then my favorite thing about his whole scandal was he was like, let me show you all a montage of me grabbing more people to prove that I do it to everybody.
00:10:26.000But Chris, as a staff member at CNN, we all assumed, even yesterday talking about this, that he was going to be protected.
00:10:34.000The fact that they're suspending him indefinitely, it could mean that they could decide to bring him back and say, pending further review or whatever.
00:10:41.000But yeah, they're going to have to have someone fill that slot immediately.
00:10:44.000Then how much you want to bet it's going to be someone who's particularly woke?
00:10:48.000Yeah, I bet there's probably some inner politics that we don't even know about that kind of unfolded here because to see both Cuomo brothers taken down by the establishment kind of shows that there's something else happening here that we don't know about.
00:11:01.000I mean, it was the New York Attorney General that released the private messages between him and his brother.
00:11:08.000So obviously something bigger here is at play.
00:11:11.000I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bigger power move.
00:11:13.000And if there was a request for the Comos to do something, and then they kind of turned it down.
00:11:17.000I think there's a possibility for that.
00:11:19.000But again, we're kind of speculating here.
00:12:03.000The only thing is he didn't know that people were watching him.
00:12:05.000So that's a really serious infraction when it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace and somehow he survives that.
00:12:11.000At CNN and women at CNN have to like go into the break room and be around this guy, you know, drinking a cup of coffee, knowing he's at a meeting with other women and he's lubing the tubing.
00:12:23.000I mean, and imagine your conversations with someone.
00:13:08.000I think it was from a deceased person, if I remember correctly.
00:13:12.000The video's still up on YouTube, and YouTube still actively promotes CNN, even though they cause so much irreversible harm to female employees and other innocent people.
00:13:51.000It's going to be divulged, all the details, so it's going to be...
00:13:54.000And now, and then we obviously have Cuomo's conflict of interest trying to dig up dirt on the accusers against his brother.
00:13:59.000And now, we've got to get into this Toobin thing, because you brought up a really good point, and I want to stress this.
00:14:04.000Imagine you are, you know, so here's what happens with Toobin.
00:14:08.000He's in a virtual, it was like a Zoom meeting, right, with a bunch of people, and he decides he's going to crank it out while watching all of his co-workers.
00:16:58.000Yeah, Republican spouts, and they'd have like a roundtable of like, you know, the strategy here is really to diminish the role we do in holding power to account and speaking truth to power.
00:17:08.000Yeah, remember when they compared themselves to active military members?
00:17:39.000The difference is back then, they didn't pretend otherwise.
00:17:42.000They embraced the fact that we have a point of view.
00:17:44.000So the problem with CNN is that they, if they would just admit that, look, we come from a left-wing perspective, this is what we care about, this is our perspective, then fine, do your thing.
00:17:53.000It's weird though, I mean, I don't think the current left-right phrasing, you know, I've said this for a while, it makes literally no sense, but I've kind of come to an understanding, the reality is there are two realities.
00:18:06.000And so I think all of us in this room exist in one political compass reality, and that is honest and true reality.
00:18:14.000Of course we believe that, that's why we're all sitting here, but what I mean is, You know, we fact check things.
00:18:19.000We try to make sure we get things right.
00:18:25.000We're the kind of people, whether we agree or disagree on certain political policies or, you know, certain, you know, economic policies, we all agree on what is real because we've looked at it and said, oh, okay, Trump didn't really do anything wrong when he was throwing the food into the koi pond.
00:18:39.000He was just doing what Shinzo Abe did.
00:18:40.000But then you have this other political compass of people who live in the matrix.
00:18:43.000It's almost like a blue pill, red pill political compass.
00:18:46.000So it's funny when you see these people will say like this show is right wing, but they're really saying is they exist in a separate reality.
00:18:53.000Because I certainly think I'm to the left of you, Matt, you know, and like, we can agree on the truth, but we probably disagree on policy positions.
00:19:00.000But we can sit here and have conversation because we agree on what is real.
00:19:04.000So that's kind of the point, you know, to talk about the leftists, and to mention CNN.
00:19:09.000Well, Populist socialist types would be like, CNN is not left-wing.
00:19:58.000But more often, the bias comes from deciding what to tell us about what bits of reality to bring to our attention.
00:20:05.000And I think about that scene in the Truman Show, which I brought up, when the director was asked, like, why hasn't Truman ever questioned his reality?
00:20:15.000And the director said, well, we accept the reality of the world that we're presented.
00:20:23.000There's a lot of truth to that, that you just kind of accept it.
00:20:24.000Also that word presented is important because that's how most of us, it's not that we're like encountering reality or discovering it.
00:20:30.000We kind of sit back and we stare at our screens all day and we have reality presented to us.
00:20:34.000We have people, usually corporate media, telling us, well, this is reality.
00:20:37.000This is what's true, but it's all, it's all curated based on what they want us to believe.
00:20:41.000And so Waukesha, for example, is a good example of something that, that doesn't fit into the reality that they want us to understand.
00:21:17.000Well, there's a reason they call it programming, and I think there's something to say about echo chambers and the carefully curated algorithms that give us information that, of course, enforce a particular viewpoint and the power that big tech social media has.
00:21:32.000They have the will to impose people's perceptions and ideas, and there should definitely be a bigger discussion about this.
00:21:38.000But earlier, Tim, I think you said something that definitely is important to talk about.
00:21:43.000is that it's not really left and right.
00:21:45.000It's whether you believe in authoritarianism or if you believe in freedom.
00:21:49.000I think that's the true kind of bigger political compass that people should be talking about, that people should be understanding.
00:21:56.000And when it comes to even calling them content creators, I think that's giving them too much credit because they're not creating content.
00:22:01.000They're regurgitating, repeating corporatist talking points that, of course, special interests feed them and they just regurgitate it back to the general public.
00:22:10.000We know, but content creator is meant to irk them.
00:22:17.000Look, when it comes to the different political compasses, you know, idea of like the blue pill, false reality within the corporate press, I don't think that adequately explains, you know, the phenomenon we're experiencing with the culture war.
00:22:59.000But, you know, we were having a discussion about Kyle Rittenhouse, and he's very much in the corporate press version of what Kyle Rittenhouse was doing.
00:23:06.000He was posting on Facebook saying the prosecution's case is super strong.
00:23:11.000He was repeating the prosecution's talking points.
00:23:13.000You'd probably hear on MSNBC or things like that.
00:23:16.000And we were talking about it, you know, he said, we got to this point where he said something.
00:23:21.000I was talking about the prison system, it being broken anyway.
00:23:24.000And I don't understand why he would be on the side of the state in this regard.
00:23:26.000And he was like, the state is illegitimate.
00:23:28.000And I was like, okay, well, hold on a minute.
00:23:30.000I was like, we can agree on almost everything.
00:23:33.000We come to this point where we're like, When you say the state is illegitimate, I'll be a bit facetious and say we agree on that.
00:23:38.000And what I mean is, like, we disregard the establishment, the authority, and the lies and the manipulation.
00:23:43.000But when you're in this different version of reality, we don't—we can't work together towards, like, solving any problem.
00:23:50.000Because his version of reality is, you know, Kyle Rittenhouse was a violent reactionary who showed up to hurt protesters.
00:23:58.000And I'm like, but that's just not— True.
00:24:01.000If you live in the world of the corporate press, it doesn't matter if you think the state is illegitimate and you're an anarchist.
00:24:07.000You live in a false reality where your motivations are fueled by incorrect information, leading you to cheer for the state, like he was doing.
00:24:15.000So I mean that with all due respect, you know, I think he's a cool dude, but there we very seriously disagree on what is even true or not.
00:24:23.000As curation, like you were saying, these companies are basically curating what we see.
00:24:27.000Deep fakes, when people, they're going to be able to be like, they're going to show you something that's not real and they're going to tell you it's real.
00:24:33.000And then they're going to be able to be like, we wash our hands of it.
00:24:38.000We were just reporting on what we thought was real.
00:24:41.000And then people are going to be seeding all these deep fakes that are like, Yep.
00:24:44.000It might even be the news organizations that create the deepfakes we find later, but then they're just telling us they didn't know they were fake.
00:26:04.000You're gonna get people trying to write as clickbaity, cessational stuff as they can, and eventually you'll find people who... Here's a good example.
00:26:16.000Jake Gyllenhaal, and he's a sociopath trying to find a way to make money, and he stumbles upon nightcrawling.
00:26:23.000It's when you go out in the middle of the night and track down crimes, fires, crashes, hurt people, and things like that.
00:26:29.000And he begins actually staging... I don't want to ruin the movie because it's so good, but he's a nasty sociopath who stages some of these photos.
00:26:40.000Then you give them the virtue signal ability to like pretend to be political, and they will run with it.
00:26:45.000Now they've got a safety net, a barrier, to where they can make things up, write garbled nonsense to get massive clicks, make money, and they're protected when they do it.
00:26:57.000Their competition is eliminated and, of course, fact-checked into oblivion and downranked in the algorithm where you can't even see them even if you're subscribed to them.
00:27:06.000I think it was BuzzFeed that had an infographic at their office studio showing the articles that are getting the most amount of shares and a live number update graphic showing everyone working there what's getting the clicks, what's not getting the clicks.
00:27:19.000And once you kind of Involve yourself into pleasing the algorithm you're involved in pleasing of course the agenda of the people who are creating the algorithm who's creating the algorithm who's running the algorithms what's the response and result of these algorithms well I think superficially we could look at it and see there's a lot of depression there's a lot more suicide there's a lot more self-hate there's a lot of other psychological issues that are encroaching and becoming more of a problem every single day
00:27:47.000And when we look at these algorithms, they rule our lives because they rule perceptions and understandings.
00:27:52.000And once you have control of that, in my opinion, you have control of everything.
00:27:55.000And that's why the world is in one factor so messed up as it is right now because of this tightly controlled small viewpoint that they're doing everything in their power to make sure that you don't see outside of it.
00:28:09.000And when you do, you see that it's full of crap.
00:28:11.000Yeah absolutely and one of the things that I was noticing today was that Twitter, I know we were talking yesterday about how their new CEO might be worse than the old one, it turns out that this is definitely gonna be the case because one of the things that they're gonna do is like remove the right of these independent journalists to post Material that's not approved, right?
00:28:29.000So it's going to be a serious issue as far as journal- actual journalism.
00:28:32.000Because I really feel like the Rittenhouse trial was such a triumph for places like the Daily Caller, people who- right-wing journalists who are actually on the ground, and like unbiased journalists who really went out there and did the work.
00:28:43.000I feel like Twitter's really twisted it.
00:28:44.000Yeah, Dorsey is not the demon that he had been made out to be.
00:28:47.000He was- he was like- has 5% of Twitter and was like basically holding on for dear life trying to make it something.
00:29:12.000It's finding that regular person who maybe doesn't pay attention and being able to pitch them on their own intrinsic value, life, liberty, and happiness.
00:29:24.000So when you have people who just say, look, man, I just want to fit in.
00:29:28.000They're going to walk right to, you know, uh, to Brian Stelter or whatever, you know, other content creators at CNN and just say, tell me what to think.
00:29:36.000And I'll think it cause I just want to fit in.
00:29:45.000Maybe what's really happening is a sorting algorithm of people who just want to follow and people who want to be independent.
00:29:49.000And I think the other really what we're talking about the real division is we're now living in a in a country where there's basically two different at least two different realities that we're living in and two different universes really so when we when people talk about are we headed towards a civil war that sort of thing I think we're not just because For a civil war, you need like a geographic divide, which there isn't as much right now as there was in 1861, I would say.
00:30:19.000But I do think that we're more divided than we were in the Civil War.
00:30:23.000The conditions are there in that sense.
00:30:27.000100 Americans into a room from all over the country and you start talking to them, you'll find that they have absolutely nothing in common at all, at no level.
00:30:35.000You talk to them about their fundamental priorities and values, what things do they care about the most, all that kind of stuff.
00:30:42.000You're going to find that there is almost no common thread bringing them all together, no commonality, nothing uniting us.
00:30:48.000And there has to be something, some uniting principle, and there isn't.
00:30:52.000It's two different moral frameworks at the end of the day.
00:31:18.000So in America a lot of our foundational rights Inalienable rights granted by God.
00:31:23.000That was the perception of the Founding Fathers.
00:31:25.000Even people who were growing up in the 80s, 90s and becoming prominent might not believe in any of that stuff, but they hold those moral frameworks still within them from the traditions that they were given.
00:31:37.000But now you have a new moral framework completely removed from all those values.
00:31:40.000They don't believe in the right of the innocent until proven guilty.
00:31:43.000They're something completely separate if they even have a moral framework.
00:31:46.000I do want to mention though, I disagree with you on the need for a geographical divide.
00:31:51.000That's an American perspective on Civil War.
00:31:55.000If you look at a lot of other countries, Spanish Civil War is a really good example.
00:31:58.000They didn't have a geographical divide in the same way.
00:32:01.000They had cities versus the rural areas.
00:32:03.000Rural nationalists and urban communists.
00:32:06.000So I believe that's what it was. I believe the communists were centered around cities. I could
00:32:08.000be wrong, but it was essentially fascists and communists.
00:32:12.000And if you look at the initial battle maps where the ideology started gaining power, it
00:32:15.000was splotchy. It was like the left-wing group was here, then it was over here, and they were not
00:32:21.000So we actually, that we do have in the United States.
00:32:24.000But in America, the civil war here was based on, you know, we have each individual state siding on a specific, you know, states' rights, slavery versus, you know, more United Federalist power, which ultimately resulted in states breaking apart.
00:32:38.000And then the interesting thing, I think it was Texas, was like, we have no choice because we're surrounded by Southern states who hold these values.
00:32:45.000We wouldn't be able to be on the side anyway.
00:32:48.000So in that sense, I think there's a, you know, you're sort of correct.
00:32:54.000So I guess I would go to my other, my other reason why I don't think there's actually a civil war is that nobody wants to leave their air conditioning and their TV for very long.
00:33:01.000Like we all, we all, there's just, there's not the, there's not the wherewithal or the will for that sort of thing.
00:33:13.000So they say it's like every 80 years there's a conflict.
00:33:16.000We had the American Revolution, 80 years later the Civil War, 80 years later World War II.
00:33:20.000Now it's 80 years later, and what are we expecting to see in this fourth turning period?
00:33:24.000There's four separate 20-year periods.
00:33:26.000I'm not saying that's definitively true, but I certainly think we're headed towards a period of great strife.
00:33:32.000And I think that one of the other challenges with civil war is that people believe they look to history to get an example of what war is.
00:33:41.000And so we look back at the American Civil War and see people fighting.
00:33:44.000We look back at World War II and people are running through the fields.
00:33:46.000But we're in the era of social media manipulation and it's fourth and fifth generational warfare.
00:33:51.000So they're using propaganda, they're using corporate press, they're using censorship, they're using economic control.
00:33:56.000They don't need to point a weapon at you to convince you to do something if they can take away your ability to communicate with anyone else.
00:34:03.000Or make you think that a weapon's being pointed at you, even though it's not.
00:34:06.000Or you're going to face some repercussions if you commit wrong thinking.
00:34:13.000You notice that especially if you travel the world and you compare our lifestyles to how everyone else is living, but that is rapidly changing right now, especially with the economic turmoil that's being created by the centralization of economic forces by the federal government by the Federal Reserve that I believe deliberately is trying to create havoc on the world economic market.
00:34:34.000That is creating not only inflation shrink inflation meatflation but just the other devaluation of the US dollar and I think soon America will have to live like the rest of the world.
00:34:45.000I think there will be a shock and in that shock in that kind of.
00:34:50.000Larger transfer of wealth that has been happening since the beginning of this pandemic.
00:34:54.000I do think there is a potential for conflict.
00:34:58.000I'm not saying it is going to happen, but I think there is a window where that potential opens, especially with the economic havoc coming our way, which I believe is deliberately being pushed on by a lot of centralized big powerful players.
00:35:12.000Let's talk about the Twitter thing that, you know, Lydia just brought up a second ago.
00:35:33.000And they say in the rules explicitly that if you are not abusing someone, then they can still remove you now because they have a new rule set.
00:35:42.000This will mean independent journalists.
00:35:44.000It will mean that reporters on the ground who happen to be filming certain activists doing something will get all of that content removed.
00:35:51.000They then came out and said, well, we'll clarify, we'll clarify.
00:35:55.000If it's a big protest or it's newsworthy, we'll consider the context.
00:36:02.000Andy Ngo is a journalist and the left absolutely despises him because he reports on what Antifa and these other individuals are doing.
00:36:08.000So, naturally, Twitter's probably gonna say, oh, this is exposing activists, and it's really dangerous, because they literally, in their rules, say activists, dissidents, women, and minorities are the most vulnerable.
00:36:21.000Now, if you, Matt, for instance, you went to Loudoun County, right?
00:36:25.000And you spoke there, they're not going to protect you.
00:36:29.000They're gonna say, you know, if a video comes out of you, and you say, hey, look, this is a private video from an event, it's really bad for me as an activist, they're gonna say, shut your mouth.
00:36:38.000They're gonna say, oh, you don't count.
00:38:26.000They get rid of all these undesirables.
00:38:28.000Now, they gotta contend with the fact that there are still dissident voices that are doing pretty well because people want and crave freedom and honesty and information.
00:39:38.000We tell everyone, we beg, we drop on it, we get down, and we say, please, listener, share this video because we aren't being promoted the way CNN is by YouTube.
00:39:46.000And they get free money, free promotion, You're thriving in spite of everything that YouTube, it's the same thing that the Daily Wire, you know, where I work, where I work at the Daily Wire, we do really well on Facebook.
00:39:57.000And the media is there, the corporate media is always putting out these, these like exposes about Oh, look how well the Daily Wire is doing on Facebook.
00:40:20.000The reason why we do well is because people actually want this content because they're looking for just common sense and truth and that sort of thing.
00:40:29.000It may be that You know, we are wading through the muck in the mire and the water seems to be rising, trying to hold, you know, hold us back.
00:41:22.000Another thing to really kind of think about here is that a lot of CNN viewers are force fed CNN.
00:41:27.000People have to go out and find alternative media.
00:41:31.000People have to go out and find Tim Cast, Daily Wire, We Are Change, and that in itself is a huge victory that we're still able to survive when, of course, in the cyber gulags, they're literally shoving it down your throats and people are still spitting it out and saying, wait, wait, hold on, there has to be something There has to be something more nutritious for my body and my mind out there that actually has some semblance of truth and responsibility in it, and that's when they find other people.
00:41:58.000And they're making it more and more difficult for them to find us, but people still are.
00:42:02.000Yeah, because I think that the corporate media is really fighting with their free market right now, which is really interesting to me because they're trying to throttle it.
00:42:10.000And I'm a little bit concerned that the next step is going to be something like a government monopoly.
00:42:17.000Watching the collusion between the Democrats and the corporate media, as Luke reminds us to call it, it's very, very troubling to me to watch and see the reflection that, like, the parents in Loudoun County are talking about how this very much reminds me of the Cultural Revolution in China.
00:42:33.000And I can't imagine that the government was exactly, you know, easy on the media when they were trying to compel every single person in the country to conform with their will.
00:42:43.000I'm not sure what the next step is, but it's a little bit unsettling.
00:43:46.000And he says in that poem that the center cannot hold.
00:43:49.000That is so interesting to me because I've heard the expression, you know, if you stay in the center of the road, you're gonna get run over.
00:43:54.000So I wonder if these values at the center holds, it's possible that the edges are being whittled away enough and that their beliefs are weak enough that they're just gonna, you know, collapse.
00:44:04.000There was a left and a right in this country and it started to split further and further apart.
00:44:09.000There's an amazing graphic by, uh, graph by Pew Research where it shows from 1994 till today how the left and right have moved and the right has moved like a teeny bit to the right and the left has shot super far left.
00:44:21.000At that point, you know, I always thought, it's like, okay, well, we're really polarized.
00:44:24.000When in reality, what actually happened is it got so far that it broke off into two different realities.
00:44:31.000There is no, there is no center or moderate position anymore because in between that is sort of like a, an abyss.
00:44:37.000And you look at any, the issue that I've written this book about, Johnny the Walrus at johnnythewalrus.com is, is just like this because there's a question here.
00:46:25.000Yeah, I think I would even draw, I don't know if this is a real definitional distinction or not, but there's a difference between a religion and a cult.
00:46:32.000And I would look at WOCUS or whatever we want to call them.
00:46:37.000It's kind of like Scientology, because the thing about a religion, say the Christian religion, for example, is that it has a lot to say about the world, about human nature, that even if you're not part of that religion, you can still understand And gain something from it.
00:46:48.000You don't have to be a Christian to read the Gospels and derive something from it and find it quite beautiful and useful.
00:46:54.000Whereas this WOCUS stuff, I mean, I just, on my show, I read there was this, I forget who shared it, but it was a gender studies master's thesis from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
00:47:06.000That someone found online and they just shared it and just the intro of it.
00:47:10.000And it's, it's woke, you know, CRT garbage, but it makes no sense at all.
00:47:15.000It's totally, it's this like insular thing where you have to be in it to even understand what they're talking about.
00:47:21.000So if you're not with, with, with a real religion, you can gain some wisdom from it, even if you're not, even if you're not in it.
00:47:26.000With a cult like Scientology, you have to be in it first to be indoctrinated into their kind of logic to even know what the hell they're trying to say.
00:47:35.000It's a good word you gotta learn the definition of before you can start to understand the language.
00:47:41.000One phrase that was used in this thing was the phrase, anti-racist racist.
00:47:45.000It means nothing, it makes no sense, but you have to be first, you have to be indoctrinated into the cult first and then you kind of can make sense of it.
00:47:52.000This is kind of what I was meaning to get to, right?
00:47:55.000Or trying to explain with a good example is V for Fandetta.
00:48:00.000When Evie goes to that comedian's house and he shows her his secret, you know, room where he's got, I think it's gay porn or something like that.
00:48:23.000I don't think you have to believe in the religion to read it and understand some of the ideas, to agree or disagree with some of these things.
00:48:30.000But when I've tried reading woke science, like woke theists, you know, reports or whatever, or like scientific, I don't know, humanities, whatever you call them.
00:48:42.000It's like, they'll say something like, extrapolating the anti-whiteness of white reasoning in white supremacist agriculture through the medieval archetypes.
00:48:51.000And you're like... It doesn't mean anything.
00:48:56.000No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:48:58.000What I'm saying is, quite literally, it doesn't mean anything.
00:49:01.000And what you get are people mindlessly saying things that don't mean anything to each other, just to try and sound like they know more than they do.
00:49:20.000You know, you clearly don't understand.
00:49:22.000Look, when I wrote my thesis on the archetypal white supremacist anti-racist racist conflating with Antifa and the Wemexin of northern medieval tribes, If you don't understand that, then certainly you must step back and give me the room and the floor to speak, because you are not an expert here.
00:49:39.000As an official person of color, I decline your... I'm mixed race, Luke!
00:50:13.000Look, I do defer to you on the progressive stack because I'm actually German, Irish, British, and then part Korean, so I'm actually more white, and you're Slavic, so you're all, you know, 100% personal color.
00:50:22.000Exactly, so I definitely trope you on that.
00:50:25.000I'll stop speaking, I'll just give you the floor.
00:50:26.000Thank you very much, I mean, we should call this show what it is, you know, the Radowski Hour, but anyway.
00:50:37.000And there's also no redemption in this kind of church of the cult that's being promoted on individuals that is absolutely just spewing nonsense.
00:50:44.000And I think this nonsense is done deliberately in order to acquiesce the general public into compliance, into having them on their knees, literally saying, yes, I will obey whatever crazy whims you decide for me.
00:50:59.000Because when you have someone at a state where they don't even know what they believe in, You have a state where they can be very easily controlled and manipulated at the whim of a mob that, of course, is also manipulated on social media and weaponized in a way where it creates people's actions to be manipulated by them.
00:51:17.000So I think that's an aspect here that we also should entertain with big tech's involvement in the kind of pushing of this cult.
00:51:23.000I saw this hilarious meme, I guess, and it said, Capitalism.
00:51:27.000Everybody is poor and a few people are rich.
00:51:54.000The means of production are owned by the people, what tends to happen is the same thing, powerful elites gain control of everything, and then everyone is poor and suffers, and centralized planning doesn't work.
00:52:03.000But they use language manipulation to be like, we're not communists!
00:52:28.000This is the Kim Potter trial, manslaughter charge, and taser, taser, taser, shooting death of Dante, right?
00:52:33.000So the news today is they're doing jury selection.
00:52:36.000This story is important because this is what happens when you start losing your core moral framework.
00:52:41.000So one of the things we were just talking about is the Judeo-Christian moral framework, how within it, I believe, you know, in the past there were some, you know, a lot of bad ideas in culture, but a lot of good ideas persisted.
00:52:52.000A lot of bad ideas felt, you know, were no longer carried on.
00:53:02.000We have the innocent until proven guilty.
00:53:04.000And a lot of people don't know this, but the concept of being innocent until proven guilty is literally in the Bible.
00:53:10.000And the formulation of this idea expanded throughout history.
00:53:14.000Blackstone's formulation is better than 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
00:53:18.000To Benjamin Franklin, it is better than 100 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
00:53:22.000Literally comes from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah if there is but one righteous person I will not destroy the you know the city or you probably know better than I do Matt I bring this up as we get into this story because as we begin losing these values To a cult as I like to call it.
00:53:37.000I think I don't know Matt you refer to him basically the same way and Uh, they don't care about justice.
00:54:04.000I think most legal experts say if someone's wanted on a felony weapons charge and flees and jumps in their vehicle about to grab something, then the police are justified in assuming it's a deadly threat.
00:54:14.000But because she said Taser, and because they said it was an accident, she's getting charged with manslaughter.
00:54:18.000Like many of the trials we've seen so far with Rittenhouse, with Chauvin, with Ahmaud Arbery, all of these cases are political.
00:54:25.000are not based in whether or not we're going to try and find the facts.
00:54:29.000It's based on whether or not we can win in the public's jurors, the businesses.
00:54:34.000They're all gonna say, just give the left what they want.
00:54:35.000Dude, I gotta say, if the cop was justified in killing this guy, deadly weapons charge, he dives into his car, assuming he's gonna grab a deadly weapon.
00:54:42.000If she yells out, I love you, before she shoots him, it's no different than yelling out, garble, garble, or taser, taser.
00:54:49.000Doesn't matter what you yell out when you're using justified deadly force beforehand.
00:54:54.000Yeah, the other thing to keep in mind, and you already know this based on the track record, but the one thing we know about BLM martyrs, especially the ones from George Floyd and on, is that almost all of them have a history of really horrific, violent crime, and almost always against women.
00:55:12.000So Dante Wright is no exception there.
00:55:14.000I think it was a felony weapons charge that he was wanted on, but that also stemmed from, or was related to, An armed robbery where he, you know, allegedly put a gun to a woman and robbed her and also committed sexual assault, by the way, because he stuffed his hand into her bra looking for the, I guess, for the money.
00:55:34.000So very similar to what George Floyd did, you know, barging into a woman's house, forcing his way into a woman's house at gunpoint, robbing her.
00:55:41.000So Dante Wright did that as well, allegedly.
00:55:46.000And also, the other thing is, I look at this as From Kim Potter's perspective, you know, I would I would equate it almost to like a medical error or something that maybe would happen with a surgeon.
00:55:57.000People die from medical errors all the time.
00:55:59.000Sometimes it's reckless and then you get litigation.
00:56:02.000People die from medical errors all the time.
00:56:04.000Sometimes it's reckless and then you get litigation.
00:56:07.000But oftentimes it's just it's a life or death situation.
00:56:16.000We can't lock surgeons in jail every single time a surgery doesn't go the right way.
00:56:20.000And so in this, I look at it, it's kind of a light, she's thrust into this life or death situation that she didn't create.
00:56:26.000Dante Wright created it, number one, by being a felon and wanted on a warrant, and then number two, by fighting the cops.
00:56:32.000So now he has taken what should have just been a normal interaction, where he says, okay, I'm gonna go with you, I'm wanted on a warrant, and that's it, and I'll go to jail.
00:56:41.000But he turns it into this life-or-death struggle.
00:56:45.000He decided to do that, and then she makes a mistake in the midst of that.
00:56:49.000And it's unfortunate that she did, but the idea that now we're going to put you in jail for that, I think is absurd.
00:56:57.000She's heard on the body camera footage saying, I'm going to prison.
00:57:00.000And I think the reason she said that is because of the political landscape.
00:57:04.000So my attitude, you know what really bugged me is when all of these leftists came out and started saying defund the police, my attitude was like, cops you just quit.
00:57:16.000Now I understand when activists go and say abolish the police or whatever, you ignore it.
00:57:19.000When they say abolish the police and then start burning down police departments, and then Kamala Harris fundraises for them and Joe Biden wins an election after his staff had been bailing these people out and 25 people die, You get to a point where you're kind of like, maybe you should give the people what they want.
00:57:34.000And a bunch of people on the left got mad at me for saying it.
00:57:37.000Because I was like, abolish the police?
00:57:45.000But does it matter if I agree with you?
00:57:48.000So when I see Kim Potter, and even she seems to know the political ramifications of what's happening today, and they still want to remain cops, the problem I have is that the people of Minneapolis, the people in Minnesota, the people in New York, will not stand up for the officers.
00:58:02.000And then the officers get thrown into the bus, they go to prison for these things, and I'm just like,
00:58:07.000give the- if the people of these towns are unwilling to take responsibility for their own communities,
00:58:11.000maybe they should be given a defunded police department to see what happens.
00:58:14.000Maybe then they'll realize and they'll change their vote.
00:58:17.000Wasn't this officer, correct me if I'm wrong, on desk duty her entire career,
00:58:22.000and because of defunding efforts, she was put on duty here?
00:58:27.000And what do you guys make of the argument saying that she should have never been there and that she should be held responsible for making that accident?
00:58:34.000Because it clearly does seem like she was going after a taser, but she went after a firearm.
00:58:39.000She didn't have much experience in the field.
00:58:41.000Do you think there should be some kind of accountability for that?
00:58:44.000Or what's your rebuttal against people I think if you look if she's obviously done on the force and so okay fine so there's accountability there but but I would stick by this that he at Dante right as the wanted criminal and no they didn't arrest him I think what was it what was the original story they told us that he was arrested for like a an air freshener or something some totally bogus right BS
00:59:23.000When you start fighting and physically struggling with a cop, that's what's going to happen.
00:59:27.000That doesn't mean that the cop has every right to just pull out a gun and shoot you no matter what.
00:59:31.000The moment that you, especially as a wanted felon on a weapons charge, the moment that you decide to make that decision, you have now taken your life in your hands.
00:59:38.000And I don't think that we should put all that onus on Kim Potter.
00:59:59.000I think when we look at a lot of these stories, there's a big factor in whether or not the individual was the person who instigated or created the harm.
01:00:06.000Now, of course, the left is now lying about... First, they lied here.
01:00:09.000He was pulled over for an air freshener.
01:01:13.000Yeah, and it's made, I've talked to cops all the time, I'm sure you have, and I still, I have the same question.
01:01:19.000I respect the hell out of police officers who still decide to do this job, but they're in a position right now, I can't imagine doing this when you know that the moment, like you said, Kim Potter said, I'm going to prison for this.
01:01:32.000They know that the moment a criminal decides to turn things physical, The police officer is in a no-win situation.
01:01:41.000No matter what happens after this, they lose possibly everything.
01:01:45.000Either they could die, and if they don't die, if they commit the sin of not dying, then they could lose their whole life and go to prison.
01:01:54.000We can't have a functioning civilization when our law enforcement officers are put in positions like that.
01:01:58.000This is why I'm almost entirely for abolishing the police.
01:02:02.000Almost entirely because, you know, part of me is like, the police, law enforcement makes sense.
01:02:07.000We need, in my opinion, good functioning law enforcement.
01:02:10.000I think many of our anarchists and, you know, our ANCAP friends might be like, But I do.
01:02:15.000I think if you have a functioning legal system, you basically have what is supposed to be a neutral arbiter for conflict in our dense environments.
01:02:33.000The problem I have now is that, with that, you know, proposition you've mentioned, the police know, okay, I pulled this guy over, now he's giving me the business?
01:02:42.000He's a violent criminal, wanted on a gun charge for armed robbery, but I will not be Kim Potter.
01:02:47.000But what happens if you get caught with a weapon?
01:02:50.000What happens if you live in New Jersey, and like this woman from Pennsylvania, she drove across the bridge to go to Atlantic City, didn't realize she couldn't do this, and had her legal gun with her?
01:03:00.000In Pennsylvania, you're allowed to have weapons.
01:03:02.000She drove across the bridge, gets pulled over, and the cop gleefully said, ma'am, you are going to prison for four years, and tried to actually destroy her life.
01:03:11.000The problem I have now is, you do have these police like Kim Potter saying, I'm going to prison because she knows the political power of Black Lives Matter, but You had these, you had cops in Minnesota traveled south 20 miles to find a salon, I believe it was a salon owner, who refused, a cafe owner, she refused to close her business during the COVID restrictions, and the sheriff shows up with a smile on his face and arrests her.
01:03:33.000If these cops are scared of Black Lives Matter to the point where they will let them get away with riots and murder, but they're not scared to arrest regular Americans, working-class citizens, and conservatives, because these people never do anything to resist, We have a police force that will disproportionately imprison good, honest Americans.
01:03:49.000And at that point, I'm like, you know what, screw it, abolish the police.
01:03:52.000Yeah, I'm, I'm, I am sympathetic to the idea of, uh, in these cities, we're just saying, well, okay, give them, give them what they want.
01:03:59.000If this is what they want, then let them, you know, you look at San Francisco and all the looting and everything.
01:04:04.000And I know there are a lot of people on the right who are saying, well, hey, that's, that's, this is what they voted for.
01:04:10.000Um, and I understand that, but then also I can't.
01:04:14.000As fundamentally a law and order and justice kind of guy, I just hate the idea of bad guys winning.
01:04:19.000And so, yeah, I understand that you live in San Francisco, you voted for this.
01:04:23.000But at the same time, these are really bad guys who are doing the looting and the stealing.
01:04:27.000And I just don't like the fact that they win.
01:04:30.000And the bad guys, you get rid of the cops in the middle of the city, and it's going to be really bad for Whatever good people decide to stay there, but the bad guys will love it.
01:04:38.000The cops are acting like bad guys in many instances.
01:04:41.000A lot of times there's been a lot of incidences where police officers don't respond to crimes.
01:04:45.000A lot of times police officers just stand by and watch crimes happen because of this kind of chilling effect which you correctly pointed out.
01:04:51.000But when it comes to political issues, when it comes to going after people for not doing the mask mandate or not locking down when they're supposed to, they're on people like White on Rice and they go after them and they go after them for the fullest extent of the law.
01:05:03.000And I think there's an argument to make here that the ... police forces have been politicized to a point where ... only certain crimes based on your ideology get punished ... while others get ignored I would call that behavior the ... behavior of bad guys enforcing bad edicts and decrees.
01:05:19.000I think there were a lot of good cops, a lot of good cops quit.
01:05:22.000I think when it got too hot, you had a lot of cops saying, I'm not going to enforce these mandates and lockdowns, I'll resign.
01:05:27.000A lot of who are saying, I will not enforce or be part of vaccine mandates, they resign.
01:07:02.000My opinion is, very much thanks to, you know, credit to Michael Malice, who's going to be very excited by the shout out, because I'm going to say it again.
01:07:08.000The police, and we were talking about this when we were in Austin, a police officer who arrests a person who is constitutionally keeping and bearing a gun and doing nothing else is a bad guy.
01:07:19.000And the problem I have now is... If he's constitutionally doing so, yeah.
01:07:42.000But many people correctly pointed out that the Constitution's rights can be rescinded through due process, meaning you can lose your right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness if you commit a crime.
01:07:54.000And so you can lose your right to keep and bear arms if you commit a serious crime, you go through due process, and then we say, as a felon, you cannot keep and bear arms.
01:08:05.000I think there should probably be some, you know, a time limit.
01:08:08.000It's not just indefinite for the rest of your life.
01:08:10.000It should be like, and you're now a registered felon for three years and after that we allow you to go back to having all your rights or whatever.
01:08:19.000We have a lot of cases where a 35-year-old dad, he's got two kids, Chicago's gang territory, he lives on the South Side, and he's like, I need a gun to protect my family.
01:08:30.000So he gets a gun by driving to Indiana, buying it legally, going home with it.
01:08:34.000The cops show up at his house, you are going to prison for the next, you know, six years for illegal gun possession, which I don't believe should exist.
01:08:41.000Those cops, in my opinion, are bad guys.
01:08:43.000There's good working-class people who just want to defend themselves, and they get targeted in this way.
01:08:49.000You have, in Chicago, a 60-year-old woman from Tennessee, or from Kentucky, I'm not sure, was going to Chicago for a vacation, and she brought her snub-nosed 38 or whatever, And when she was at this year's Tower, now Willis Tower, they asked, before she went up to the observation deck, do you have, you know, if you have any weapons, do you want to go to the metal detector?
01:09:10.000She said, yeah, I have my concealed carry with me and my permit.
01:09:13.000And the cop was like, all right, ma'am, turn around, hands behind your back, you're under arrest.
01:10:18.000If cops are scared of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, that means it's going to be independents, conservatives, libertarians, who are going to be shuffled into prisons, and they're going to be releasing Antifa or refusing to prosecute.
01:10:30.000Yeah, I think, first of all, the whole following orders excuse is never, that never washes.
01:10:35.000And we know that historically, and that goes for cops too.
01:10:37.000And I would agree that, you know, finding someone who's made some, basically that's like a paperwork mistake where someone held the gun legally and they crossed state lines.
01:10:46.000And then you just decide, okay, I'm gonna ruin your life.
01:10:48.000Just because I can't, I'm gonna ruin your whole life.
01:11:23.000And I'm always sympathetic to that because I have four kids myself.
01:11:28.000I haven't been in a position where I've had to think about, am I just going to leave all this behind and I won't have a way to feed my kids?
01:11:36.000But when you really have to think about it, I can certainly understand someone deciding, I'm staying in this because this is my livelihood.
01:11:46.000And I don't think, I think many of the cops that are enforcing this stuff are mindless in that they don't know, they don't care.
01:11:53.000But I think that means the good cops that remain and those who say, look, I know that's bad, but I have to support my family.
01:12:00.000They need to start enacting police nullification.
01:12:03.000Like jury nullification, the officers should refuse to enforce laws, and many are, that are unconstitutional or unjust.
01:12:09.000So we have sanctuary counties, sanctuary states for gun rights, where the police have straight up said, we are not going to arrest anybody for guns because they have a right to keep and bear them.
01:12:18.000Now, I think it's reasonable if I've got some kind of long gun or a handgun on my person.
01:12:23.000I think if a cop comes up to me and says, you know, we want to check out the weapon to make sure, you know, it's safe and we want to talk to you about it within reason, I think that's acceptable.
01:12:33.000But I also think then if you're, if I was in an area Where, say, the open carry is not allowed.
01:12:59.000They do it in favor of BLM, they do it in favor of Antifa, and we have to call it out for what they're doing.
01:13:05.000And that line, I have to disagree with you a little bit here, Matt, that line, I'm just doing my job, I'm just doing this just for my kids, just for my family, this is what led to the worst human atrocities all throughout recorded human history.
01:13:17.000I'm not just talking about Germany, I think that's overplayed, overused, but when we look at, you know, for Soviet Russia, as an example, with the KGB, Even if we look at what's happening right now in ... Australia people are being hauled off into camps because ... they were around people that tested positive for covid ... and police officers are literally ruining people's ... lives telling them that they can't go to the supermarket ... denying them basic human rights to food and water all ... because they didn't comply with the whims of the state and ... the state is only willing to pull it off because officers ... saying well I'm just doing my job I just have to feed my ... family I think it's dangerous and it's like I think that ...
01:15:43.000He said, this is Gunnar, this is the Minister of the Northeast Territories.
01:15:46.000He said the authorities had identified 38 close contacts in Binjari, a number he said would likely rise, who were transported to Howard Springs on Sunday.
01:15:56.000Mr. Gunnar said cases in Binjari were very concerning, but not surprising, yada yada.
01:15:59.000He went on to thank, he thanked the military, the ADF, for sending, I think they sent out 20 individuals to help transport these people.
01:16:07.000He's urging them all to get vaccinated.
01:16:10.000And let me see if this is in the article as well.
01:16:13.000Authorities have identified, okay, so that's not it.
01:16:16.000There's another article, I don't have it pulled up, where they say, in the speech he gave, he said that Benjari will be entering hard lockdown.
01:16:24.000That means the citizens no longer have the five reasons to leave their house, which is exercise, food, visiting your one contact or whatever, whatever the five reasons are.
01:16:34.000Quite literally, this man has said, If you are in this this territory, you cannot leave your
01:16:42.000Then they've started transporting close contacts and suspected cases to the quarantine facilities.
01:16:48.000Now I'm reasonably assured by Claire Lehman of Quillette that this is impoverished communities
01:16:55.000who need desperate help and are being brought to to hospitals.
01:16:58.000And I'm a blowhard who has no idea what he's talking about.
01:17:00.000Jesse Single, the reporter, says Tim Pool is pushing dangerous conspiracies or some other garbage nonsense.
01:17:06.000In reality, it's Jesse who hasn't done a single Google search of this before regurgitating garbage nonsense.
01:17:12.000What I have said is quite simply, if you tell indigenous people they can't leave their homes to eat, and then say, but by all means, get in the military vehicle or whatever vehicle being driven by the ADF to go to the quarantine facility, it's not voluntary.
01:17:26.000And if it was, we wouldn't see people absconding.
01:17:30.000And if the people did abscond from the facility, you wouldn't see police putting out press releases saying they've started an investigation to search for those who scaled the fence and escaped.
01:17:42.000Yeah, they had a national manhunt for a man that sneezed in an elevator in Australia.
01:17:47.000This was also the same guy, I believe his name was Gunner, who came out and publicly said that if you took the vax but you don't like the mandates, that you're an anti-vaxxer because you're providing aid, support, and comfort to anti-vaxxers.
01:18:01.000That's his definition of an anti-vaxxer now, is aiding and supporting anyone who doesn't like what the government is doing on their whims.
01:18:07.000And they literally took, this was a couple days ago, 38 indigenous people had the military haul them off into these quarantine camps because they had close contact with someone who allegedly tested positive.
01:18:20.000So there's also indigenous people coming out and making videos alleging that they are being kidnapped, that they're also having forced to be medicated.
01:18:30.000So, again, it's still untrue if any of these allegations are true or not, but these are some of the allegations against the state of Australia that is becoming more Orwellian and more dangerous by the day, and I wouldn't be surprised if these accusations were true.
01:18:53.000Is that how you would say it properly?
01:18:55.000There's that saying that the lowest level is reserved for traitors, disloyal, I think.
01:19:02.000I don't know, but I'm reminded of that great line from Pirates of the Caribbean where he says... Yeah, it's the inner circle of hell, yeah.
01:19:24.000So I mean, this was very much an intellectual dark web publication a few years ago, challenging wokeness and the orthodoxy of the cathedral and the state.
01:19:32.000And now, Claire Lehman has become an overt state propagandist, literally posting pictures of bikini-clad women enjoying their stay at the forced quarantine facility where we are now getting indigenous people transported to, and the police now putting up press releases to try and find those who've absconded from them.
01:19:50.000Yeah, uh, can I read the definition of abscond real fast?
01:20:50.000And he's like, I don't know what's going on.
01:20:52.000They're telling me I've tested positive for COVID and I guess I'm going to go in this van and go with them.
01:20:56.000And they announced that he will be indefinitely quarantined.
01:21:00.000That's literally what they said in the press reports.
01:21:02.000I'm like, I don't know where they brought him, but this video exists.
01:21:05.000My point was, if they build camps to house people they say are a danger or undesirable, how long Until they are concentration camps, where they go to a community and say, you are being transported to this facility.
01:21:21.000How long until there's a protest against the lockdowns and they say, oh, the anti-lockdown protest was a super spreader event, gotta round up all those protesters and send them to quarantine because they could be infected.
01:21:31.000And I was told by a reporter for ABC, I was told by Claire Lehman, that I was a conspiracy theorist, I was told that these were just international arrival bungalows.
01:21:42.000And now, more and more we're learning, they are forcefully denying people food, forcefully relocating them with military assistance, and people are trying to escape these facilities.
01:21:52.000I don't care if the photos look lovely, and they've posted great little photos of the beds, and little welcome packs, and sandwiches, and smiling hot babes in bikinis.
01:21:59.000You wanna put out propaganda, by all means do it.
01:22:01.000But when you put out reports about people trying to escape this place, yeah, I'm gonna call it a concentration camp.
01:22:06.000That was the cops on words, I think, escape, right?
01:22:14.000Yeah, I think people, when you use words like concentration camp, and I think you can make an argument for that phrase in kind of a literal sense, it's a camp where there's a concentration of people there.
01:22:25.000But and then we get into the semantics of you can't say that it's we're calling it a rival bungalow.
01:22:29.000I think one thing is that people there's a lot there are a lot of people who they just cannot wrap their heads around the idea that things could really get that bad or be that bad.
01:22:40.000You know the idea that the government would put people into camps at all.
01:22:43.000It's like, we don't, you know, that's in the past.
01:22:45.000That's not a thing that happens anymore.
01:24:03.000The state is empowering themselves with powers that they shouldn't have.
01:24:07.000God-like authority over individuals, sovereignty over individual bodily autonomy.
01:24:13.000And when that happens, historically, bad things Yeah, we should just be able to say that if we're in a position where the government is forcibly containing people against their will who have not committed a crime or even been accused of a crime, then that leads to very bad places.
01:24:28.000And people get upset about Holocaust comparisons and everything.
01:24:31.000And sometimes they get calls like, well, it's anti-Semitic, which of course is absurd because the point of the comparison is that this is a really bad thing.
01:24:36.000And the other point of the comparison is that we don't want it to get like we've seen in history how bad it can get when you allow the government this kind of leeway.
01:24:47.000But also, the response to my tweets was that people were saying, well, is there evidence they're taking these people by force, Tim?
01:24:55.000Is there evidence that these indigenous people were forced by the military to go?
01:24:59.000And I'm like, why is that even a question?
01:25:03.000That is a propaganda manipulation in an attempt to try and make it seem like people are happily going into forced lockdown where they're not allowed to leave.
01:25:16.000If you are told you can't leave your home, you're told that you're not allowed to go outside for food, and then we do have a van waiting outside to take you to a quarantine facility where you will not be allowed to leave, but we do have food.
01:25:30.000Like, if you lock someone in their house and starve them and say, you can only come out when you agree to go to the camp where you'll never be allowed to leave, well, for two weeks or however long they hold you, then you are forcing them.
01:25:42.000So it's interesting that you mentioned concentration camps.
01:25:44.000I was just reading about Hannah Arendt, and she was one of the Jews who managed to escape the Nazis.
01:25:50.000She talked about how hope was very much one of the Jews' worst enemies during the Holocaust because people would get on the trains voluntarily.
01:25:57.000Which is real freakin' interesting that Claire mentions that people are voluntarily doing this, and that she's spreading this propaganda.
01:26:05.000What happened was, she said... Interesting.
01:26:07.000She admitted, she agreed, that these people are being relocated, and she said it was because they're from poor communities that don't have access to hospitals.
01:26:16.000Other Australians commented, what do you mean?
01:26:18.000It was called the Catherine Hospital or whatever is right there.
01:26:20.000The immediate response from the propagandists is, oh, it's not good enough.
01:26:26.000I thought you said there was no hospital.
01:26:28.000I thought you said it wouldn't happen.
01:26:29.000Now it is happening, and you're saying it's a good thing.
01:26:32.000Then, of course, when there was a massive backlash, because in no context is this good, the media in Australia and the government officials started saying that me and a few other people were conspiracy theorists, and I am proud to say that in one of her tweets she referred to Majid Nawaz and I
01:26:48.000as conspiracy theorists putting up false information and I'm honored to be named alongside Majid
01:26:54.000Nawaz. He's a great thinker, he's a brilliant guy, he's a good dude and wow, you know, I
01:27:03.000And it turns out they can lie all they want, but all I'm doing is literally quoting their official news sources, The Guardian, and their own police releases.
01:27:13.000I'm just critical of what they're doing, and they don't like it.
01:27:18.000I just saw a chat that said Auschwitz had a... Wouldn't you have an opera house?
01:27:48.000And not only that, I was reading about this, and the craziest thing was that there were a lot of Jewish people in Germany who didn't believe it.
01:27:55.000When the op-eds were coming out saying the Nazis wanted to do this stuff, were planning on doing it, they were like, eh, that'll never happen.
01:28:02.000This is exactly what we're seeing now with Australia.
01:28:03.000You know what happened when the American troops came in and the French and the British came in and liberated those camps?
01:28:08.000You know what they did to those German people that pretended like they didn't know what was going on?
01:28:12.000They put them into forced labor and made them clean the camps.
01:28:37.000Uh, the Stasi beat up my great-grandfather, killed him, they sent my great-grandmother to a work camp, and they sent my grandmother, who's still alive, into one of the work camps as well.
01:28:48.000And, of course, they didn't tell him, like, hey, this is where things are, you know, they didn't tell him, like, hey, this is where, their plan, obviously.
01:28:56.000They always said what people wanted to hear or needed it to hear in order to comply and go along and then You know the story I'm told by my grandmother is once my great-grandmother Resisted and was trying to organize something at one of the labor camps They sent her to a different camp and that was one of the concentration camps located near Gdansk Poland and that's where she went missing while my grandmother stayed at that work camp and and then was there ever since, of course,
01:29:23.000then Russians came in and then the Soviets came in and then took over Poland and then ruled
01:29:45.000But that was 1800s, With World War II, concentration camp came to take a very serious meaning, which typically refers to camps where people are brought to eventually die.
01:29:56.000So of course, I'll be the first to say, when I said asterisk concentration camp, I am of course being hyperbolic.
01:30:08.000Bad things happen whenever that happens.
01:30:10.000I think it would also be helpful, maybe just as a collective, as a culture, if we... One of the problems is we go to the Holocaust analogy all the time, because it's one thing that we know that everybody will... It's one of the few historical facts that we know that everyone knows, but...
01:30:26.000But maybe we expand our historical analogies because there are many examples.
01:30:29.000In fact, you don't have to go that far geographically or in terms of timeline to find, I think, maybe even better comparisons to what we're going through right now in Stalin's Soviet Union.
01:30:37.000There are some parallels there as well.
01:30:41.000So part of the problem is that we always go to the Holocaust.
01:30:44.000And that's because of the kind of like, in our culture, the historical illiteracy that we can't talk about.
01:31:22.000They're pushing their ideas through institutions.
01:31:26.000And it's worrying what that would mean for the rest of us if we don't stand up, speak out now, and challenge these institutions and try and get jobs there.
01:31:34.000There's so much that needs to be done to try and push back on this stuff.
01:31:37.000My grandmother, who literally saw her father killed by the Stasi, said that the Soviets were way worse than the Germans, comparatively to what they did to the Polish people.
01:31:47.000There's also a lot of Polish intellectuals, a lot of professors, a lot of scholars that were literally taken away in the middle of the night by the Soviets and then executed in the middle of woods.
01:31:56.000No one really likes to talk about that as well, but there was a large number of executions, a lot of people sent to labor camps, which of course eventually led to them dying in these labor camps because of the conditions there.
01:32:08.000And truly, you know, Germany is one aspect of it, but there's a whole other aspect that absolutely is being significantly underplayed, and that of course is what communism has done to the world.
01:32:20.000The Gulag Archipelago, that should be a signed reading in public school.
01:32:24.000Of course it isn't, but that's something that, at least the first two volumes, And it's kind of, it seems like a daunting task to read, but it actually, it reads, you could read through it pretty quickly, given what it is.
01:32:35.000And of course, Solzhenitsyn in the first, I think it's the first chapter of the first volume, kind of plays in a lot of what we're talking about here is because he talks about how, you know, the secret police would show up and they would just, you know, they would, they'd show up one day and they'd just arrest you and they're gonna send you off to a labor camp and you'll be gone for 10, 15 years, or you'll never come back, maybe.
01:32:53.000And everyone knows that this is going on and yet everyone just still convinces themselves that it won't happen to them.
01:33:01.000And so he talks about how somehow, even though like you see this happens to your neighbor, it happens to your cousin, your aunt, the person across the street, and yet when they come for you, you're still shocked and in a panic and surprised this is happening.
01:33:14.000uh... because it's something psychologically we just can't believe
01:33:17.000that it'll happen to us i think that when they finally do come for you
01:33:20.000it's under the guise of it's just come with us it's a it's a temporary thing
01:33:24.000it's for your safety and people just go okay and they grab their bag and they peacefully go along with them
01:33:29.000they hope it'll work out Yeah, because people just they keep saying it can never
01:33:33.000happen here and look at so much that has happened here It's literally happening right now all around us the
01:33:38.000lockdowns the restrictions the mandates and people are still saying it's fine. It's normal
01:33:42.000It can't happen here the illegal mandates that were again Shirked by the courts are here living in good times and
01:33:49.000living in peace is an exception to the rule The rule of history is conflict, it's fighting, it's democide.
01:33:57.000I mean, my uncle, not so long ago, kidnapped by the Soviets, tortured by, of course, the government there for not having his paperwork at a random paper please checkpoint in Poland.
01:34:21.000I mean, a lot of people who lived through it are saying the same exact thing is happening.
01:34:26.000Repeating people are making a lot of references to the Cultural Revolution in China people are making a lot of references to what happened in Soviet Russia and I think there are some very scary lessons to learn there that I do believe in a smaller instance are repeating and could fully Roll downhill towards even worser versions of what we ... saw in China in the Soviet Union because of the ... technocratic angle that is a full-on track trace and ... database society that sees everything imagine if Stalin ... if Mao Zedong if Hitler had the power of total information ... control total dominance and was able to control what people thought.
01:35:08.000That power right there is absolutely frightening.
01:35:10.000I just want to stress that point, you know, talking about, you know, Luke being born in Poland when the Soviet Union existed.
01:35:26.000Like Luke mentioned, it was throughout the 20th century.
01:35:30.000You had World War II and then you had the Soviets.
01:35:32.000It was a hundred years of authoritarianism and just horrifying, horrifying things.
01:35:37.000And we have this period now where it's kind of been okay, but now it's bubbling back up to get bad again.
01:35:43.000So if we don't fight for our values and stand up and say no, And protect yourself from cult worship, obsession with Trump, Biden, Fauci, anybody really.
01:35:52.000But that's why a lot of these communist regimes came to power totalitarian, like Hitler, Mao, Stalin.
01:35:58.000They were a cult of personality in a lot of ways.

01:36:10.000But now we're gonna read your comments, see what you got to say.
01:36:13.000One person said, don't forget about the Uyghur Muslims.
01:38:20.000My wife got me a banjo I think it was like maybe a year after we got married and she went out got me a banjo because I've been talking a lot of game but I wanted to learn it and then she got it.
01:38:30.000And she did, and she got it in for me, and then she got me a little booklet to learn how to do it, and then it just kind of sat there for years in the corner of the room, looking at me, judging me, because I never learned it.
01:38:41.000And then I put it in my studio, and that's it.
01:39:59.000I still think it applies, depending on... Well, the question, forced into it, like you're stranded on an island... Well, Reza Aslan, apparently, when he was sitting down with these religious types, if he didn't eat the brain, he could have been attacked by them.
01:40:14.000So the argument a lot of people have is like, he did this interview and then they told him, eat it now.
01:40:19.000And his perception was like, these people will chase, beat, and potentially kill us unless I do as I'm told.
01:40:42.000I wouldn't call Kim Potter a murderer.
01:40:44.000I think that's an extreme statement for someone who is like in a life or death situation and forced to make a move they don't want to make, you know.
01:40:50.000As for Reza Aslan, he chose to enter that situation with these cannibals.
01:44:09.000Jacob Howard says, Tim, you will not have my respect until you have Shapiro, Clavin, Walsh, and Knowles in your podcast at the same time in a van.
01:44:15.000By the way, Matt, just bought your book from My Little Brothers.
01:44:32.000They were trying to get us to come out.
01:44:33.000We went to Austin, and they were trying to get us the week before we went to Austin.
01:44:37.000So we'd bring our mobile studio, then we'd do the show from the RV with the Daily Wire, like many people from the Daily Wire.
01:44:43.000And in Austin, we did the Super Show, the Austin show, with Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Blair White, Michael Malice, Drew Hernandez, Luke, me, Ian, everybody else.
01:44:55.000If we could figure out a way to have, you know, you, Clayvon Knowles, Ben, Candace, all like popping in and just having this rowdy, obnoxious thing.
01:45:04.000We got 2 million, you know, views already.
01:45:32.000I like how you guys rent out those big event spaces.
01:45:35.000Yeah, we did it at the Ryman in Nashville.
01:45:38.000That'd be cool to rent that out while we're down there.
01:45:40.000Well, that was actually one of the plans we had was if we could do a Friday night live Timcast IRL in the venue and set up a studio table and get everything so there's like a live audience watching.
01:45:57.000Doug Kaplan says, Matt Walsh, awesome guest, and I think you two should infuriate CNN, get on camera in disguise, and show facts on CNN lie off their own camera.
01:48:30.000I don't follow any theistic religions or anything like that.
01:48:33.000But I think it's, like you said, historically illiterate to claim that 90 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed, this country had a strong atheist movement trying to abolish slavery.
01:48:44.000It's actually a real problem for atheists, and I'd be curious to I've yet to hear an atheist really sort through this, because one of the reasons why the abolitionist movement was definitely Christian is that it's based on this idea that we're all created equal in the eyes of God, that we all have inherent human dignity, human rights.
01:49:03.000The doctrine of human rights is a doctrine.
01:49:05.000It's a religious doctrine that stems from this idea that we have human souls, that we have this kind of eternal significance.
01:49:12.000If you take that out of it and you're left with Darwinism, What do human rights even mean?
01:49:55.000It's really fascinating to be completely honest, because for the longest time growing up, there was the religious argument of, you know, without faith and religion, then where do your morals come from?
01:50:03.000And a lot of, you know, Bill Maher would be like, that's a scary prospect, that the only reason you're not killing people is because you have this religion.
01:50:10.000And I'm like, yeah, honestly, I kind of understand that.
01:50:13.000Because you can see people who might not be religious, who might be atheist, but their values still came from parents who held these traditional values.
01:50:23.000Things like, I mean, you know what, man?
01:50:26.000Too many people today haven't read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, right?
01:50:30.000Do you know the actual name of the story?
01:50:44.000See, I don't know, it's been a long time since I read this, but I read it because I was trying to understand the Fifth and Sixth Amendment, I was trying to understand the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the inalienable rights, and it was pulling on a thread.
01:50:56.000It was like, here the Founding Fathers had these discussions about why these rights needed to be included, And they reference God, and they reference religion in the Bible, and they reference Blackstone's formulation, and I start reading about it, and then, sure enough, you discover that the story is quite literally, you know, God was like, this is a wicked, you know, these wicked cities will be destroyed, and Lot is like, but what if there's righteous people there?
01:51:17.000And ultimately says, if there's but one righteous person, I won't do it.
01:51:20.000And the idea from that is, you can't condemn the innocent because you're mad at the guilty.
01:51:25.000The fascinating thing is, if you look, if you read about the philosophy, of innocent until proven guilty, dictators and tyrants tend to hold the inverted view.
01:51:35.000I think Otto von Bismarck was his name.
01:51:37.000He said it is better that 10 innocent people suffer than one guilty person escape.
01:52:23.000My wife and kids never made the move, so that was a little bit of a... I didn't consult my wife before renting a... She never agreed to live in someone's basement in Loudoun County.
01:53:10.000Yeah, well, at the Loudoun County thing, it was so ridiculous because, you know, they give you 60 seconds to speak at the actual school board meeting, which like, no one could say anything in 60 seconds.
01:53:24.000It's like this whole ridiculous scene they had set up.
01:53:27.000If you wanted to speak in the meeting, you had to wait in a single file line outside of the room where the meeting was actually taking place, because they wouldn't let any spectators in the room.
01:53:36.000And they would call you in, and you'd hear your name over the intercom, and you'd come in, and they'd set the timer.
01:54:05.000Look at a lot of the, you know, the early feminist YouTubers doing like GamerGate and listen to what they're saying.
01:54:10.000And it's like, they're not saying anything.
01:54:14.000It is just buzzwords strung together to make it sound like they're smart, and then they'll give you their point at the end, which is a simple statement.
01:54:20.000It's like, now that I've said all these things you can't understand, this is why we have to do X. And they go, oh, sounds smart to me, I guess.
01:54:28.000And there are people who just want to fit in and be a part of it.
01:54:32.000If they think it's popular, they will get on board.
01:54:38.000Sparty Matt says, I live in Oxford, MI and teach school nearby.
01:54:42.000Please everyone, tell your kids you love them, especially the hurting and broken young men who desperately need to know that someone, anyone cares about them.
01:55:38.000Christian Bale and it's a society where everyone takes a drug every morning that suppresses emotion. Okay, do that
01:55:45.000and then sure You know, you might have a perfectly working communist
01:55:48.000society. We're of a brave new world. Are those called SSRIs?
01:55:52.000Yeah, something like that you get situations where like one there'll be human for humans
01:55:56.000But one of them will solve the problem so quick And you're like, wow, that's great.
01:55:59.000Then the second time it happens, he does it again.
01:56:01.000And you realize, okay, if we put our faith and power behind this guy, we're going to survive as a group.
01:56:08.000If we let, no, I'm not pointing at any one of you guys, but like random people stumble around and make mistakes trying to lead us, then we're going to die.
01:56:15.000So like, it's this natural tendency towards centralization of authority and powers.
01:56:19.000I think it's the same thing that drives humans to innovate, actually.
01:56:30.000So, through evolutionary biology, through the gradual natural selection, the changes, Humanity favored those who conserved energy to the greatest degree.
01:56:40.000That meant people who would have higher access to food, who were smarter, who were stronger, who were faster, who could run.
01:56:46.000So that way we'd have more energy to procreate, and those who had less energy couldn't.
01:56:50.000And that means when it comes to politics, people are like, the least amount of work I have to do is better for survival, so if you want to take care of it, I'll just do whatever you say.
01:56:57.000You end up with a lot of people saying, that's confusing, complicated, hard, and I don't want to be involved.
01:57:03.000And then they give up all their power.
01:57:06.000Simon Eric Alexia says, Hey Tim, did you know that you are mentioned in the book?
01:57:10.000This is a Swedish tiger written by Aaron Flam.
01:58:21.000I'm not saying that, you know, every cop that comes out is a smiling officer friendly.
01:58:26.000I'm saying if two people are screaming at each other and threatening violence, the cops come and say, I don't know or care who either of you are.
01:59:26.000Claire Lehman, she responded saying, I found this hashtag about Howard Springs full of hot babes enjoying the quarantine camp that TimCast calls concentration camps.
01:59:36.000And then I think it was Jack Murphy who said, I couldn't help but notice that there's no photos of any regular people.
01:59:41.000It's all like hot babes and smiling families waving at the camera.
02:00:40.000Home B says, I'm more or less concerned if terrorists actually try and start hitting this country with roadside bombs and American highways or some other off-book things I can conceive.
02:00:49.000I mean, in terms of civil war or conflict, we're definitely not at any point like that, and I hope it never happens.
02:01:01.000We have to be persuasive and peaceful.
02:01:04.000The reason Antifa gets away with it to a certain degree is because a lot of people are scared, but they do lose public support, which has a backlash to it.
02:01:12.000That being said, my friends, go to TimCast.com, become a member.
02:01:14.000We're going to have a members-only segment coming up around 11 or so p.m.
02:01:18.000Don't forget to smash the like button.
02:01:34.000I'm a best-selling children's author, which is what I will be referring to myself as for the rest of my life.
02:01:41.000That's what this was all about, actually.
02:01:43.000It was just so that I could call myself a best-selling children's author and start every sentence with, well, as a best-selling children's author, I think.
