Jon Rich joins us live in Nashville to talk about the food shortage crisis in China, and the potential return of COVID lockdowns in the United States. Plus, we make fun of our good friend Joe Biden.
00:01:00.000I'm not telling you that the end is nigh and to scream or anything like that, but we're gonna look at some of these videos, and it's pretty scary stuff.
00:01:06.000We got a bunch of other stories as well.
00:01:08.000COVID lockdowns may be coming back to the U.S.
00:01:10.000I know our good friend Luke Rudkowski had said to us, it's not gonna happen, they're gonna ease up.
00:01:15.000I said it was gonna happen, but then when we started seeing all the lockdowns get lifted, I said, I guess I was wrong.
00:01:20.000Philadelphia is reintroducing their mask mandates.
00:01:22.000We're getting warnings again from the CDC that COVID is spiking.
00:01:25.000So it's entirely possible we do get more of these mandates.
00:01:28.000Plus, you know, we're going to make fun of our good friend Joe Biden, who, uh, what did he say?
00:01:32.000He said tobacco companies wouldn't be able to sue prostitutes or something like that.
00:01:42.000Joining us today as we are live in Nashville, we are at the Daily Wire studios, but you know, we're actually in our mobile command center 2.0.
00:01:57.000You might know me from a duo called Big and Rich, which I think we have one of the silliest songs of all time called Save a Horse Riding.
00:02:04.000If you've never heard it, go look it up.
00:02:06.000It'll probably put a smile on your face.
00:02:08.000I've been here a long time, written thousands of songs in this town, and I'm a son of a preacher, grew up in a trailer park in Texas, and I have a high school diploma.
00:02:20.000You can carry it around with you when you move back.
00:02:21.000Nothing fancy here, but I'm a fan of you guys, fan of your show, and was excited when I saw you coming to town, so thanks for having me on the trailer.
00:03:02.000It seems like, yeah, I mean, when Daily Wire, I heard Daily Wire was coming to Nashville, I didn't know anybody really there at Daily Wire, but I just kind of blind called them and said, hey, when you finally get to Nashville, let me throw you a welcome to Nashville party at my house.
00:04:12.000So I'm so excited to kind of talk about current events with a guy who has some music background.
00:04:16.000Also, I mean we talk a lot about building culture.
00:04:19.000I think it's great to see people in the entertainment industry who actually have positive values and aren't acquiescing to the nonsense that the left is telling everyone they have to submit to.
00:04:39.000I own my songs, I own my recordings, I own all my stuff.
00:04:42.000And you know, I'm very fortunate that I had a career that went well enough for long enough that I could get to the point where I could afford to do my own stuff.
00:04:50.000You know, I didn't need the big companies anymore.
00:04:52.000And so, you know, when it comes to artistic expression, I now have nobody telling me what I can say or when I can say it or how I put it out or anything else.
00:05:00.000So it's the ultimate artistic freedom, I think, to be where I'm at.

00:06:46.000But don't forget, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and let's jump into this first story.
00:06:52.000And I find it fascinating that this article from Newsweek is, it's all bright, and the image they show just shows like a nice blue sky, when the reality of these videos is actually horrifying.
00:07:02.000They say, Shanghai residents scream from windows, get drone lockdown warnings.
00:08:28.000I think what's really striking about this story isn't just what's happening in China.
00:08:32.000I think it's the fact that even without saying it, there are some number of Americans who would have absolutely no problem with this being the policy in the United States.
00:08:40.000We've clearly given up any drive to have freedom.
00:08:44.000And it is sad to say that it looks like there is a real chance the lockdowns could be coming back.
00:08:49.000So a couple of years ago, In August of 2020, these videos started going around showing people screaming.
00:08:56.000When I first saw this video on Twitter, I said somebody got hoaxed.
00:09:00.000Somebody took an old video and sent it and said, look what's going on in China, and it was a rerun.
00:09:12.000So this is new, and we have multiple sources confirming this, several news outlets reporting on it, and it appears to be true because there's more than just this one video.
00:11:47.000China, it looks like this could be... I mean, do they even care about the... Does the CCP care about those people or do they want less of them?
00:11:54.000They had the one child policy before, they wanted less people that way?
00:11:57.000The only thing communists are good at producing is human misery and food shortages.
00:12:01.000And then they just sit on top and revel in what they have, the food.
00:12:05.000Because I'm thinking like, oh, Kim Jong-un's got plenty of food.
00:12:09.000Xi Jinping's got plenty of food right now.
00:12:27.000So I'm sure they don't care when they're looking at how can we streamline the machine that is the Chinese Communist Party and this country, whatever they want to call it.
00:12:36.000So, you know, the Republic of China, People's Republic of China.
00:12:39.000If we want to streamline this, okay, we can stand to get rid of excess and then bring specialists in.
00:12:45.000They don't view the individuals that they starve out.
00:12:49.000Yes, and on top of that, it's totally impossible to centrally plan a supply chain like that.
00:12:54.000You just can't know where resources should be allocated without people being able to engage in free trade.
00:12:59.000One issue we saw during the beginning or at the beginning of the COVID lockdowns is that even though food production was considered an essential service, which wasn't shut down, there were still food shortages in some areas.
00:13:09.000We were getting less meat produced because the packaging materials that people used to send their meat to market were considered non-essential.
00:13:16.000Small details like this are just going to inevitably slip past politicians and the bureaucrats they appoint to essentially plan the economy.
00:13:22.000So even if they're making a good faith effort to get people fed, they're just not capable of doing so.
00:13:27.000Well, there are quantifiable facts in this country, in America, that would lead you to believe the only ending, which is there are people that want to see food shortages happen in America.
00:14:47.000Yeah, and it's in the last few years he's been buying it up.
00:14:49.000And why did China start buying corn futures like crazy over the past two years for Chinese investors?
00:14:55.000In the important context as per Bill Gates, he may own the most as an individual, but it's not that much relative to the grand scheme of total available farmland.
00:15:04.000So, a lot of people assume when they hear that it means like, Half the country is owned by Bill Gates.
00:15:09.000No, he owns a very tiny percentage of the total, but he owns more than any other individual.
00:15:15.000Which still raises the question, why is this guy buying up farmland?
00:15:20.000What's he looking at in the future for an investment?
00:15:24.000What is it about food production that he thinks is going to become particularly lucrative very soon here?
00:15:43.000I think if you've got a bunch of people who, you know, Bill Gates has given speeches on population control, you know, different from reduction, but, you know, I wonder about his thoughts on that.
00:15:56.000A lot of people speculate, by all means.
00:15:58.000But control, where he talks about how we need to reduce the amount of people being produced.
00:16:25.000I'm not saying he wants anybody to die, I'm just saying, like, I'm not gonna take health advice from a guy who sells computers who talks about how there should be less people.
00:16:35.000If you're an individual who doesn't believe that human life is intrinsically valuable for its own sake, I'm not taking your advice on anything.
00:17:13.000You can only sell so many computers, but you can get a lot of viruses out of those computers.
00:17:18.000We need to get that software going over and over and over.
00:17:23.000You wonder why it is that so many computer viruses exist sometimes?
00:17:26.000Because, you know, nobody's going to my neighborhood and just randomly attacking people.
00:17:32.000Not every neighborhood, but we don't see, you know, maybe it's not as easy to say these days, but you don't see overt political terrorism in the United States to a great degree like you do in other parts of the world.
00:17:44.000And when you see computers being so often attacked, you have to wonder what the motivation is and why.
00:17:49.000Why don't people in public engage to the same degree?
00:17:57.000The same amount of people commit crimes as make viruses, but viruses can spread more and do more damage, and that's why we see it more often.
00:18:03.000But it is a lucrative business, so I certainly wonder how many of these companies back in the days, antivirus companies, We're making viruses.
00:18:10.000Well, we're like Antifa window repair, like Ryan Lowe's comedy sketch, where the Antifa guys go around smashing windows and then come back the next day and say, window repair.
00:19:36.000No, no, but I'm talking about a true laissez-faire free market where, you know, buyer beware, covet emptor, people are... There's a lot of good arguments I've heard about how competition will solve a lot of these issues, but you also will get planned obsolescence.
00:19:49.000The counter argument to that is, well, then the company that makes the better light bulb that lasts forever will sell more.
00:19:55.000But then my argument to that is, what if one person discovers the creation, you know, invents the light bulb, And then they're making it and other people haven't figured it out for 10 years, so they create planned obsolescence.
00:20:06.000And what's to say that the other companies don't just say, well, why would I step on the toes of a guy who's figured out how to get people to buy light bulbs nonstop?
00:20:13.000Why wouldn't they just say, I'm going to do his same business and just lie to customers and say it's better?
00:20:22.000I mean, healthy patients don't make them any money, and dead patients don't make them any money, but patients that we're keeping alive make a lot of money.
00:20:30.000Check out... Let me show you this post here from BBC World Service.
00:20:47.000Well, just that there are a lot of people in America and in the West who are completely comfortable with these kind of tactics to eliminate COVID.
00:21:00.000Yeah, well then the question is, are they trying to zero COVID?
00:21:02.000Let me, you know, let me just say to the point, this is, this BBC story, I guess it's like a podcast, so I'm not gonna play their podcast, but this Dr. Eric Ding guy saying it's in everybody's interest, I hope that's out of context.
00:21:14.000I sincerely hope what he means is specifically for China and not for us.
00:21:19.000Because if the reference, if the idea is we here in the United States should be locked in our homes for a week and told we cannot leave for any reason and we will not be given food, Well, Americans, I think, would act quite a bit differently than the Chinese, you know.
00:21:40.000I think in the cities, they would do as they're told.
00:21:42.000I think out in the country, people are gonna be like... Depends on the neighborhood you're in.
00:21:45.000In the cities, they're gonna be getting the hell out of their apartments and coming out to the country to see where all the people have the resources, and that's where you're gonna have the problems.
00:21:54.000starving migrants well yeah but hungry desperate people leaving cities going out to where there is resources so yeah what happens when that happens yeah like so this is something you want to think of so this is this is the question then what we see in china is Horrifying.
00:22:11.000People screaming out their balconies, the drones saying, control your souls, you know, urge for freedom or whatever.
00:22:18.000If people in big cities, if it does come to the point where, you know, what did Joe Biden call it?
00:22:23.000If the food shortages do get that bad, if the food inflation is as bad as people think it is, and it's bad, if it's as bad as people think it is, Are these city people going to run out of the country?
00:22:32.000Because then the question becomes, Second Amendment, if I've got chickens, and I do, Chicken City, ChickenCityLive.com, and someone comes and they're hungry, you're not touching my animals, because we have these animals, we cultivate livestock so that we can survive.
00:22:52.000If someone comes and thinks, I'm gonna steal that, well people out in the country are gonna be like, I gotta defend my property, my friends, and my family.
00:22:57.000You can't just let anybody come and steal your stuff.
00:23:15.000But when you're looking at the neighborhoods with high crime rates, where people do, you know, own guns, or at least the criminals own guns, and there's more of a gang presence, they will absolutely start moving out into more rural areas in search for food.
00:23:26.000And you'll see some ugliness if we ever get to a point where there is massive food inflation that's starving people.
00:23:31.000So let me ask real quick, Chicago, What city?
00:24:27.000Your thoughts, being from Texas, I wouldn't call it a small town or anything like that, but I'm curious what your thoughts are on just Second Amendment people defending their property.
00:24:37.000Well, what you're talking about is not defending your property.
00:24:40.000At that point, what you're talking about is defending your survival of your family and of yourself.
00:24:46.000It's no longer Hey, those chickens, if somebody stole those chickens or took my chickens or whatever, we're not in a famine.
00:24:52.000It's not as big of a deal, but if I'm depending on that or whatever else I have for my kids and my wife and my parents and whoever's around me to survive, then it's not a question.
00:25:02.000Because then if you take my stuff, we die.
00:25:05.000So it becomes, uh, the stakes go all the way to the top when you start talking about famine.
00:25:10.000I mean, you know, people forget that electricity is what makes the water move through the pipes into your apartment or into your house unless you got a well.
00:26:11.000Which you don't even need to run a freezer for 16 hours to keep everything frozen.
00:26:14.000Yeah, you're saying you do it 8 and then leave it off for 16 and then 8 and then leave it off.
00:26:16.000Yeah, you just don't open it very often, you know.
00:26:18.000So, there are ways to get around it, but people need to think about it right now.
00:26:21.000Yeah, so there's this funny hit piece on me and a bunch of other pro-Trump personalities from 2020, like, where are they now?
00:26:29.000And they're like, Tim Pool is selling emergency food.
00:26:33.000And then I'm just like, well, it's kind of crazy.
00:26:35.000The mentality among the left is that it's an insult to want to have emergency supplies.
00:26:41.000Because I'm just thinking, like, if you think it's, like, a point of shame, like, I would be ashamed of telling people, like, make sure you get some emergency supplies.
00:26:51.000I'm not telling people to set up a bunker underground with 30 years worth of beans or anything.
00:26:55.000I'm being like, you get one of these buckets and put it in your closet, you forget about it.
00:26:57.000I also think you should have a first aid kit.
00:27:00.000I think you should download a survival guide onto your phone.
00:27:03.000But man, when we have these conversations about people in big cities being like, oh, they're so dumb, you bought emergency supplies.
00:27:09.000I'm like, I don't want to be anywhere near that city if it really does get bad.
00:27:14.000And the funny thing is, I'm not even prepper level.
00:27:17.000The preppers are sitting on their bunkers, you know, smoking their cigars, laughing at everybody else because they got nothing to worry about.
00:27:23.000And really the question is, if you were a prepper, if you built a bunker, If you bought a bunch of guns, if you've got stored food, you know how to start a fire and hunt animals, are you stressed by this lifestyle?
00:27:34.000Is there something wrong with that lifestyle?
00:27:36.000Sure, you might believe crazy things like, the end is nigh, if you're one of these caricatures.
00:27:41.000But really, if you're somebody who lives out in a rural area, and you know how to survive and you take care of yourself, I'm sure you're living your best life.
00:28:13.000Now, I'm not saying that we're going to be seeing anything of that magnitude, right?
00:28:18.000And of course, you have to make that perfectly clear because they'll clip you and go, look, they're saying because people should have emergency food, they think the world's going to flood.
00:28:25.000Also, global warming is going to flood the world, guys.
00:28:36.000I mean, even if there isn't some cataclysm, is it totally unthinkable that there might be a situation where you need a couple weeks worth of food?
00:28:43.000And that's actually a really good point.
00:30:26.000The ones that are in the cities, that are up in a skyscraper apartment complex, They're the ultimate betas because they're at the mercy of anything that comes their way that's not right.
00:30:35.000But the ones out in the woods, they're going to be all right for a long time.
00:30:39.000I think they're threatened by it and they don't understand it because nobody ever taught them how to actually take care of themselves.
00:30:46.000I know this is a recent thing in America that people don't know how to take care of themselves, don't know how to grow food, don't know how to defend themselves.
00:30:53.000You know, the way I think about it is, how long ago was it where a father was armed everywhere he went and if he was with his family he was ready to fight for his survival like a wild animal how well you know you go back a couple hundred years cities are substantially smaller you look at uh the revolutionary period there's only i think two million americans within the 13 colonies fighting for independence two million across the entirety of the eastern seaboard so if you're a family man and you've got your your homestead or whatever
00:31:26.000And you're probably wearing thicker leather of some sort.
00:31:28.000You're not just walking around in short shorts and a t-shirt with sunglasses on because everything's safe and fine.
00:31:33.000When you compare a couple hundred years ago to today, it is the epitome of good times make weak men.
00:31:39.000But over a several hundred year period, and now, You know we talk about what would the founding fathers think if they were if they came here today and saw the government it's like well aside from the fact they'd probably freak out at what happened with the government they're gonna look at people and be like you walk around in short shirts some people walk like women walk around in bikinis and they're gonna be like
00:31:58.000There's animals, there's predators, there's- there's- there's bandits, robbers, and you just- nobody cares about any threats or danger.
00:32:05.000And we can brag and be like, we've mostly done away with so much of this through advancement technology.
00:32:10.000We're safe, we have fat homeless people, and they'd probably be like, wow.
00:32:16.000Until they see any potential dastard- disaster coming ahead.
00:32:19.000Until they see these people are completely unprepared for any kind of survival.
00:32:24.000Although, maybe they'll just come back and eat big bowls of ice cream and be like, Yeah, we should hope not, and I wouldn't think so, but it is very bizarre how we've been sold this idea that the best possible way to live is to move as far away from your family as you can, to live in a small box next to a bunch of other small boxes full of people, to not have a yard, to not have space, and to not have children to just perpetually consume for the rest of your life, without ever orienting any of that consumption towards preparing for whatever might go wrong.
00:33:37.000The centralized power grid, it's like we were rolling the dice every day and I hope I don't roll a one because if I do and the power goes out, and if the power goes out for six weeks, I have no backup plan and I hope the roads aren't jammed so I can get out of the city.
00:33:49.000This is the crazy thing about emergency supplies, is I just tell people sometimes it rains.
00:33:54.000You know, we saw this big, huge flood in, I think it was in Houston, I'm not sure, where people were trapped in their houses.
00:34:00.000You never know what you're going to need.
00:34:20.000In cities, everyone is packed on top of each other, and yet there's virtually no community.
00:34:24.000And this is the question you have to ask yourself.
00:34:26.000If inflation gets really bad, if, as Biden promised, there are going to be food shortages, do you want to have neighbors who know who you are and care about you?
00:34:34.000Or do you want to be another face, another name, someone that they have no responsibility to once they're hungry?
00:34:39.000I want to give a shout out to our good friend Joe Biden over here, because he's got this tweet that just went up today.
00:34:44.000He said, we need Congress to pass universal background checks.
00:34:47.000That's insane, because they already exist.
00:34:49.000Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
00:34:52.000Assault weapon doesn't mean anything, and he wants to ban 100 round magazines, or I guess that would be a drum.
00:35:26.000You see, what he's trying to say is, if you live in the mountains of West Virginia, and you want to sell a gun to your neighbor who also lives in the mountains of West Virginia, he wants you to be forced to drive to a local gun store, FFL, federally licensed, and do the transfer that way.
00:35:41.000Personally, I think you're usually better off doing that.
00:35:44.000But I understand why you want to give your neighbor a weapon because you live in the middle of nowhere and there's wild animals or you just need to defend yourself and your property and there's no police.
00:35:54.000Banning assault weapons is meaningless because what they're talking about is like it's a pistol grip versus a rifle grip and it's just meaningless.
00:36:44.000You can go after Colt, you can go after Remington, but you can't go after Pfizer or Moderna.
00:36:48.000Pharmaceutical companies should not, in my opinion, have liability.
00:36:51.000I think that if someone takes a vaccine from a company and gets really sick, that there's a court that'll protect these things is ridiculous.
00:36:57.000These companies, like, they feel like they really... Wait, you're saying they shouldn't have liability?
00:37:01.000I think that they should be able to be sued.
00:37:03.000No, I don't think they should be immune from damaging people with their medicines or with their drugs or whatever you want to call them.
00:37:11.000There's going to be side effects for basically everything.
00:37:14.000And, you know, you might be allergic to something and not know, or you might be the one in whatever many.
00:37:19.000Let's say you get some kind of swelling treatment and they're like, there's a rare side effect that gives you rash, you get a rash.
00:37:25.000Yeah, I think top-down medicine production isn't the way of the future.
00:37:28.000A lot of it's like, we're going to start 3D printing medicine that's tailor-made for your chemistry, your body chemistry.
00:37:33.000And so this whole top-down medicine where they make one drug and give it to everyone is obviously not working because a lot of people aren't doing well with it.
00:37:40.000So I have a story about Nancy Pelosi asking me about guns in a backyard in Beverly Hills.
00:38:56.000And Pelosi goes, now I'm not a hunter, but I'm pretty sure that if I shot that first bullet at whatever I was hunting and I didn't hit it, it would run away.
00:39:16.000And I held up my cell phone and I said, well, Madam Speaker, right now back in Nashville, Tennessee, I have a wife and I got a three-year-old son and a five-year-old son and we live right in the middle of town.
00:39:26.000I said, now if she had called my phone right now and said, John, I hear footsteps coming up the stairs.
00:39:31.000I said, Madam Speaker, would you advise me to tell my wife to grab the one with seven rounds or the one with 30 rounds?
00:39:38.000And her eyes kind of got big and she said, is that the way you look at that?
00:41:05.000It's that mentality that allowed us to build this country the way we did.
00:41:09.000If we were all getting picked off at home and the government had total control and they weren't afraid of the population, we never would have had this beautiful liberal society that we organized.
00:41:23.000No, I mean, look, the founders make it perfectly clear in the founding documents of this country that owning a gun is a right that is available to all people.
00:41:31.000It is not a privilege for the ultra-wealthy who can have formed armed guards and whatever paperwork these bureaucrats would try to put you through in order to be able to defend yourself.
00:41:39.000But now, John, would you agree with me when I say that the Second Amendment guarantees our right to have nuclear weapons and biological weapons?
00:41:49.000Yeah, so I got in trouble because I pointed that out and they take this clip of me where they cut my full statement and say Tim Pool calls for people to have nuclear and biological weapons.
00:41:59.000What I said was, the Constitution says the right to keep and bear arms.
00:42:16.000Well, yeah, we now cannot get our hands on weapons that are equal force.
00:42:19.000But the Second Amendment didn't change.
00:42:21.000They just started passing laws without any, I guess, legitimate questions as to what the limits should have actually been.
00:42:29.000And this is what Joe Biden is doing now.
00:42:31.000Now, I would not want people to have nuclear weapons or biological weapons.
00:42:35.000That's a scary thought, some lunatic guy with a bioweapon, because of how much destruction could be wrought.
00:42:41.000But there's a very serious question about When do we draw that line and say, regardless of the constitutional amendments, we've decided you can't have things.
00:42:50.000You'd have to amend the constitution to change that.
00:42:54.000And I think we could easily amend it to be like, yeah, we've decided nuclear weapons and bioweapons, like we're not going to include in the second amendment.
00:43:01.000Well, I think there's also another serious question to ask, which is, why did Biden just decide recently that this was going to be his next moral crusade?
00:43:07.000The country's falling apart, we have runaway inflation, he's acknowledged food shortages are coming, and he's going to sit here and tell us that his goal is to end gun violence?
00:43:15.000It's because he thinks there's going to be gun violence if there's famine.
00:43:19.000He wants to try and stop it by taking the guns away, so there's criminal gangs running around creating mafia?
00:44:32.000If the store still exists, and if they still have records going back that far, we can find out who purchased the gun originally.
00:44:39.000Then we have to go find that person, and if that person no longer owns the gun, we have to see if they have any records of who they sold it to, and on and on and on.
00:44:47.000He said we would have to do that with literally every single weapon in the United States to know who's got what guns.
00:45:10.000I was going to say, there's something interesting about those states as it pertains to their gun laws.
00:45:15.000They also have a whole lot of gun crime.
00:45:18.000Look, Baltimore has got serious gun crime as well.
00:45:20.000It's not just those states, but when I hear Illinois, I'm like, they call it Chirac because of how many gun deaths there are.
00:45:28.000There was a year where there were more gun deaths in Chicago than the entirety of Iraq.
00:45:32.000Yeah, and their laws don't seem to do anything to stop that.
00:45:35.000Granted, I think it was in the 2000s, there was a court ruling, I think it was a Supreme Court ruling, so now you can actually get a gun in Illinois, though it's damn near impossible.
00:46:43.000Yeah, the early ones, they had to pull the trigger with a string from like eight feet back so it didn't explode in their hand because they didn't know.
00:47:21.000I can see a totalitarian regime would use that as a game of whack-a-mole to just write more and more laws of how to go after more and more guns.
00:47:27.000It's like, dude, at some point, like, you're stepping on your own foot.
00:47:30.000You know, we're working together here.
00:47:33.000There's real problems out there and it comes down to do you have enough water and do you have enough food and do you have enough space to move around?
00:47:40.000With the internet, one of the things that's pushing back on the establishment cult woke nonsense is that people who live in rural areas now have the ability to build community.
00:47:52.000It used to be that the message, the narrative, would come top down from big cities with big city intellectuals, and that was it.
00:47:58.000Community was formed around their broadcast tower.
00:48:01.000But now, because of the internet, people can build their own communities, which is allowing more conservatives to coalesce around certain personalities, certain media outlets.
00:48:10.000You have the same thing with 3D printing.
00:48:14.000And I think, when you look at what's going on now with the culture war, I'm fairly optimistic, especially when you look at a lot of the data.
00:48:46.000But under today's maps, that means a GOP trifecta with 60 or 61 senators.
00:48:52.000Yo, I read this today and I was just, it's shocking.
00:48:55.000I mean, looking right now at the current data based on all the aggregate polls, and assuming we don't see changes from now until the election, it looks like Republicans not only will win Congress, But that if this track remains steady, by 2024, they'll have 60 or 61 seats in the Senate, which means they're going to steamroll through basically whatever they want.
00:49:18.000It's not absolutely perfect because the Republican Party is kind of... Yeah.
00:49:21.000Maybe if people go and vote in their primaries, this will have a bigger impact.
00:50:14.000And now people are shouting out Alex Jones, who what he said was, they're gonna ease the restrictions, get everybody to calm down, and then they're gonna slam them back down on us.
00:50:24.000And then I'll give myself some credit by saying, aha!
00:50:27.000The rat hope experiment we talked about.
00:50:57.000That if they just didn't give up, they would make it.
00:51:01.000So, based on what Alex said, you know, based on what Luke said, what I said, I'm like, maybe what's gonna happen is these restrictions being lifted in the calm-down period are so that people can have a sense of hope that it will eventually come to an end, but maybe this next lockdown is the lockdown that just goes on for a long time.
00:51:17.000Isn't that the definition of a Psy-Op?
00:51:25.000You know, but I think Americans have woken up to that and I think it is to such a degree that it's now not
00:51:31.000Republicans or Democrats. It's just Americans period waking up to it going these people are playing us in a psyop right
00:51:37.000now Listen anybody that identifies I've raised a lot of money
00:51:41.000over the years for Republicans. I've campaigned with Republicans
00:51:44.000And in the past two or three years I have witnessed heard and learned
00:51:50.000Things about so many Republicans that I had supported that blew my mind how much they were betraying the people
00:51:58.000oh, yeah that they represent and And I've gone out and told people that are hardcore Republicans or whatever, I go, if you're an American, you better not identify with either party, just be an American.
00:52:10.000Vote for what you think is best for your family.
00:52:16.000If I had to guess a percentage, I'm going to say 85% of all politicians are not worth the paper that they signed when they got that office.
00:52:24.000Did you see the governor of Utah using his pronouns and saying latinx?
00:52:32.000This is a Republican and he's just all on board.
00:52:35.000I would not be surprised if people don't go out and vote in their primaries and we end up with just more neocon, establishment, uniparty trash.
00:52:45.000Give it a year or two and Mitch McConnell will be like, I'm Mitch McConnell, he him, and I'm here to give a statement about taxes, and that's it.
00:52:53.000Unless people actually vote in the primaries and get rid of these establishment party players.
00:52:57.000If we don't have them force you to put a mask on your kid, we won't be able to cut taxes 2% for three years.
00:54:18.000There are acts of real terror, but the whole 9-11 terrorism thing that got shoved down my throat for 20 years, I'm fed up with.
00:54:25.000So someone's saying, like Ron Paul, we should go after the terrorists and not have these regime change wars, I don't think is a pro-war position.
00:54:35.000Because I think Ron Paul's position was we just need to pull out entirely and we shouldn't even have foreign bases.
00:54:39.000Ron Paul, uh, yes, but he also talked about how instead of invading Iraq and Afghanistan, we could have issued letters of mark and reprisal.
00:55:26.000Proof that blue states did fail their people during the pandemic.
00:55:30.000Harsh lockdowns caused huge death rates, ruined kids education, and destroyed business.
00:55:35.000Bombshell research finally shows with New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois all receiving an F minus grade.
00:55:41.000Are you telling me that JB Pritzker of Illinois' brilliant plan to give $300,000 of federal COVID relief money to Black Lives Matter didn't make the virus go away?
00:56:12.000Well, I mean, you know, if they lock everybody down and the red states push back and they exercise their 10th Amendment and go, yeah, we're not locking down.
00:56:18.000We're going to have the election as planned.
00:56:20.000And all the blue states are locked down and nobody can get out and go vote.
00:56:23.000Maybe that actually plays to the other side.
00:56:25.000It's interesting, the boomerang effect and somewhat of the whiplash coming back.
00:56:29.000How do you lock everybody down now knowing how much they hate it and still win an election?
00:56:35.000Also, with people seeing the effects of the lockdown, this is part of why it was so important for them to try to scapegoat Putin and Russia.
00:56:41.000This is part of why they had to say the inflation and the food shortages were his fault.
00:56:45.000It was the result of a foreign adversary, not the fact that they printed trillions of dollars, not the fact that they shut the economy down for two years.
00:56:50.000Because anyone who's really paying attention knows that this is only going to get a whole lot worse if we lock down.
00:56:56.000Is there actually evidence that they're saying they're thinking about locking or shutting down?
00:57:44.000But we were down there and I'm watching the news and then we get the email like three or four days into spring break that the schools are shut down.
00:58:25.000And so, yeah, they don't have to worry about it.
00:58:27.000You don't have to worry about where their food comes from.
00:58:29.000You might own land on paper, but if someone, an armed militia, goes there and sits on it, then you're going to have to take an armed militia to get them out of there.
00:58:34.000And that's going to cost you probably more than the land is worth.
00:58:37.000So it's also about other assets and other resources.
00:58:39.000But just having a substantial amount of resources, you command access and power.
00:58:46.000Depending on how you transfer it, what you trade, a diversified portfolio, or whatever you want to call it, wealth asset management.
00:58:52.000For these people buying land, yeah, in the event that we do go more riotous because of lack of food, the property you own is meaningless.
00:59:00.000You got a piece of paper that says your name on it, some dude kicks the door and says it's mine now, what are you gonna do about it?
00:59:05.000Look how people were rioting before we had any food shortages, just because the media told them they should be upset.
00:59:09.000Yeah, I think they were doing that because they didn't like being locked down.
00:59:12.000The George Floyd riots, that thing, it was like it was an excuse to get out of the house and party.
00:59:16.000Burning Man got cancelled, so let's do it on the street of New York.
00:59:35.000I think that would be bad, but then I think they would get universal mail-in voting, and then in a completely unrelated story, I think then the Democrats will win.
01:00:19.000Do you think strong states that are led by conservatives would push back now that they know what they've known and you've got stories like that about what a fail, an F minus.
01:01:35.000I think we were driving somewhere recently, like we were out here in Nashville, we're driving around.
01:01:38.000And I just, I think I was saying something to you, Ian, about how The left can be told that Joe Biden sniffs little girls and posted videos on it, and they'll say, I don't care.
01:02:17.000E3 was cancelled in the physical form because of COVID, according to them, and then they cancelled the actual event all around, and they said they're prepping for 2023.
01:02:43.000So John, you told us a story about being at this party with Nancy Pelosi.
01:02:51.000I'm just wondering, you're here, you're speaking out, you seem rather fearless on these issues, but are there ramifications to being in mainstream U.S.
01:02:59.000entertainment and challenging the establishment, smack-talking them?
01:03:03.000As we say in the country, does a bear shit in the woods, right?
01:03:06.000That's a big West Virginia saying as well.
01:03:08.000Yeah, you know what happened with me was is I was becoming that guy that would yell at the TV.
01:03:17.000But then I would go out at the industry events, a red carpet, an interview, whatever, and understand that the majority of people running our industry were absolutely hated people that thought like I think.
01:03:29.000And so I would just shut my mouth, bite your tongue, don't say it in here, and just go back home and yell at the TV again.
01:03:35.000And at some point, I felt like I was sacrificing my integrity.
01:03:44.000Because hundreds of thousands of Americans have died and bled and sacrificed and did whatever it took to keep those freedoms alive.
01:03:50.000That's why the lines are coming into the country and there's no lines going out because we have those freedoms and I'm gonna sit here and not say what's on my mind and speak what I know to be true because I'm afraid Somebody's not gonna give me an award or somebody's not gonna play my song at the radio station or whatever.
01:04:16.000That's what it took to get this country up and running.
01:04:19.000And if they ever found those guys that signed the Declaration of Independence, they ever found them?
01:04:24.000They're gonna hang them from a tree, burn their houses, kill their families, and erase them from the memory of the earth.
01:04:30.000But now we're worried about somebody throwing us off of Twitter, or somebody calling us a bad name, or in my case, the music industry not giving me everything that I want to get out of it.
01:05:50.000If you said, John, you were them, snap your fingers and take me out of here.
01:05:54.000I mean, right now, as my daddy would say, who's a quasi-Pentecostal-style prison preacher, that I would charge hell wearing my gasoline suit with my water pistol blazing.
01:06:07.000And that's what they don't understand in this country, these liberals and people running our country, that there is a fierce love and dedication and responsibility that we have as parents that you step over that line and you start messing with my kids.
01:06:22.000There is no boundaries anymore between us.
01:06:33.000Why don't you try to assault me one time?
01:06:35.000I'm going to step in front of these little kids.
01:06:36.000Now you're going to deal with a, with a grown ass man and a grown ass woman who got nothing to lose and don't care what you have to think about it.
01:06:50.000That is what tens of millions, if not more Americans are feeling right now, regardless of their politics, regardless of who they voted for or what they think about Trump or Biden.
01:07:05.000You've got, you know, these teachers now bragging on social media about how they want to talk about their sex lives with children.
01:07:11.000And it's the weirdest thing to me that they're trying to normalize the idea that 5, 6, 7, and 8-year-olds are talking to their teachers about their teachers' marriages or relationships.
01:07:24.000That never happened for me when I was in those grades, because Florida is where the big conversation started, the Parental Rights and Education Bill.
01:07:31.000When I was five, I remember the names of all my teachers.
01:07:34.000Actually, I don't remember the name of my second grade teacher.
01:08:04.000I mean, first of all, the parents can.
01:08:06.000And this can be handled during normal sex ed if the parents think that's what the school should be doing.
01:08:11.000But they're actually arguing for the right to have conversations with your kids about sexual issues in secret, telling those kids, don't tell your parents.
01:08:30.000But let's just take that conversation out of the classroom, shall we?
01:08:34.000Let's go to a public park and your kids are playing over by the monkey bars and a couple of adults walk up and start showing them those books with those pictures and having that conversation with them.
01:08:43.000What would happen to those adults in that public park?
01:08:47.000They would be arrested and hauled off to jail.
01:08:49.000So, if you look under the American Bar Association, when it goes into the word grooming, which is the big word right now, which is accurate in my opinion, it says, and 7th Circuit Court of Appeals actually has this perfect, please go look it up.
01:09:03.000That it is not a defense to say that you are putting explicit pornographic or obscene material in front of a child under the guise of education.
01:09:20.000You do not get to hide behind the veil of education and that shields you from something that outside the school would be considered a felony.
01:09:31.000So this game they're playing, the only way you short-circuit that is at some point, parents are gonna have enough of it and they're gonna go, you know what, did you show this to my kid?
01:09:39.000Alright, turn around, put your hands behind your back.
01:10:32.000On top of that, another thing that people are failing to acknowledge here is that one of the core elements of grooming is trying to separate the child from their parents.
01:10:39.000So by definition, having secret conversations with children, especially secret conversations about sexuality, is grooming.
01:10:46.000And I think everything you just said a moment ago was put very beautifully and so many people in this country feel that way and I think the left is going to start to realize that they've really woken a sleeping giant because they're completely incapable of understanding other perspectives.
01:11:01.000All they know and understand is obedience to the party line and loyalty to their sick set of principles and what their ideological allies tell them to believe.
01:11:13.000I think many of them don't have close familial relationships which is part of why statistically they actually are more likely to experience mental health issues and so they can't comprehend the bonds that exist between good and healthy families.
01:11:27.000They have no idea what's coming their way if they continue to push on this.
01:11:30.000Well, I think if you go back in time, we were talking about several hundred years ago where the dad's armed, maybe he's got a single shot, you know, flintlock or something like that or a sword or a knife or something because you never know, you gotta defend yourself, your friends, your family.
01:11:44.000People without families were much less likely to survive.
01:11:47.000That's just, humans are social beings.
01:11:50.000Our families and our tribes are how we survived, and that's why we have such a strong social desire to be a part of the culture and the tribe, because if you weren't, you didn't survive.
01:12:00.000We now have an expanding society of family-less individuals.
01:12:06.000They have some friends, they hang out, they're in their 30s, they're not in relationships, they're single, they live in apartments.
01:12:14.000I gotta say, I don't think these people would survive the actual wilderness.
01:12:17.000They're a product of the good times we've created and the security and the safety that allows this individual, ultra-individualist, you know, I guess, lifestyle.
01:12:26.000Probably also a bunch of drug addicts on Adderall, Prozac, who knows, legalized pharmaceuticals so they're like distorted and aren't able to understand love with their mother.
01:12:33.000You know, it comes from like, well, I didn't get along with her to begin with.
01:12:36.000I'm just assuming a type of person, but there's a lot of legalized drugs out there that people are on.
01:12:42.000Well I mean also statistically we know that children that come from two-parent homes fare better than children who don't.
01:12:48.000They have absolutely destroyed and gutted the family.
01:12:51.000It's been a very long-standing project on the left because they can't have competing power structures and they know that good Tightly knit families that genuinely love and care for each other and have a strong sense of loyalty, and parents who will legitimately protect their children, solve the problems that the state claims it needs to be in a position to solve, though it never solves them well.
01:13:11.000It usually ends up creating more problems than it's addressing.
01:13:14.000But, the point is, they're not gonna stop, right?
01:13:17.000Like, they see your connection to your family as a threat.
01:13:20.000Like, it is a threat to their way of life, and what they view is what's necessary for their survival.
01:13:25.000Like, we have to stop them is the point.
01:14:09.000Back in the early 2000s, conservatives were having about two kids for every two parents, so it was stable.
01:14:17.000Liberals were having 1.7 kids, so typically a family would have one kid, maybe two.
01:14:23.000Now, we see in the polls that Gen Z is a tad bit more conservative than Millennials, but Millennials and Gen Z are still relatively progressive compared to Gen Xs and Boomers.
01:14:53.000You know what happened when the Roman... And immigration.
01:14:55.000When the Roman Empire failed and all the slaves were basically... When the Roman slave system ended, a bunch of those people went out to the farms and started working for the farmers and became their workers.
01:15:05.000Uh, it's more nuanced than that and I would highly recommend, um, looking into this because if this happens, if this really, if the economy fails and all these people come out of the cities, these liberal weirdos that don't have families or whatever, they're going to be looking for work and they're going to be basically put down, put on the farm to get to work and they're going to be overseen and then they're going to be, you pay them whatever you want at that point.
01:15:23.000Do you think they're useful enough to use on a farm?
01:16:32.000I, you know, these people, Yeah, but when the owner of the house has rifles and you're in a fenced-in area and there's nowhere to get out and you chose to be there because you need food.
01:16:40.000Like, I'm saying we might be on track to see another serfdom rise in this country.
01:16:43.000Look, you're not going to be able to take entitled, gaunt millennials.
01:16:49.000I'm not saying everybody's gonna make it either.
01:17:19.000So if one day the roads just, the roads were gone, and it was like, you're only gonna get food which you can find, they'd make it, I'd be in serious trouble.
01:17:28.000So people in cities, there's a lot of smart people in cities, but they're not gonna know the first thing about how you grow crops.
01:18:05.000But I wanted to see your white pill and advance you one pill.
01:18:09.000Because there's something I have, I think I've had a realization about, about what the future looks like when it comes to the conservative population.
01:18:19.000All these kids who were forced to wear masks eight hours a day.
01:18:25.000Day after day after day after day and hated every second of it.
01:18:28.000And they saw their mother lose her job because she wouldn't take the vaccination.
01:18:32.000And they saw their daddy lose his job because he wouldn't do XYZ that the government man was telling them to do.
01:18:41.000And watch their own person be violated.
01:18:45.000Over and over and over, day after day, year after year now, I believe that they grow up and when they become of voting age, they remember What that was, and they go, they're not doing that to my kids.
01:18:56.000I'm not voting for anybody that I ever think would have a shred of a chance of ever pressing down on us that hard again.
01:20:25.000And spelled all that out and put the links on there and highlighted what it said right off the government websites and guess what I got five minutes later?
01:20:49.000If you're gonna cough or spit on somebody, the mask will stop you from doing it.
01:20:52.000But then there's questions about forcing everybody, even people who aren't sick, to be wearing one.
01:20:56.000You know, we used to see all the time, people in Asian countries, if you get a cold, they put a mask on just so that they don't cough or spit on somebody.
01:21:05.000But then they come in and they say, five-year-olds who may or may not be sick, we don't care, just they have to do it.
01:21:09.000And then there's serious questions about, okay, well, what are you doing to the development of their mind if they can't see mouths move, if they can't see human expression while they're communicating at one of the most formative years of their lives?
01:21:23.000Or, not only that, but they're substantially less likely to get sick.
01:21:26.000I can certainly understand if a parent wants to make a choice for their kids.
01:21:31.000That should be on the parents, not the government.
01:21:33.000And this is why I just say the simple solution really is getting your kids out of these schools, getting them in pods.
01:21:37.000But it sounds like you found a solution, which was an opt-out form that they... Well, so I think it goes back to the point that these people are generally bullies.
01:21:46.000Whether it's talking about masking your kid up or it's talking about grooming them in a school room or whatever, they are not willing to go the full distance of what that fight actually looks like if we've got the backbone to take it there.
01:21:59.000They don't want to go in a courtroom and have a, let's go back to the school that's being taught in the schools, hold up the book in front of a jury Read the state and federal statutes as to what it says about exposing kids to obscene material.
01:22:12.000Then show the jury the pictures, read the jury the book, and ask the jury, are they guilty of violating these statutes?
01:22:25.000Because people are too afraid to stand up again.
01:22:27.000And that is the problem with getting too blackmailed about this stuff.
01:22:29.000Your average person goes around thinking, I know that what they're forcing on me is nonsense, but I can't make a difference.
01:22:35.000But like you said, and like you were able to show in the situation with your kids in the school, if you stand up to these people, it's not always going to work out for you 100% of the time, but you're never going to know unless you try.
01:22:45.000Yeah, it sounds like the evidence that you accrued that you sent to them would be valuable to put public so that other people could grab the evidence and send it to their- Dude, I have a high school diploma.
01:23:25.000There are so many people who are so over-educated, and then they can't even think to do the simplest possible thing when it comes to protecting their own children.
01:23:44.000Liv, what were you, did you do college, Lydia?
01:23:47.000You were like homeschooled too for a long time, right?
01:23:48.000Yeah, so I actually started to take classes that were the equivalent of prereqs for nursing, because I really liked biology and that kind of thing.
01:24:08.000It's funny because I went to Catholic school from kindergarten until the end of fifth grade, and I wouldn't even call any of that indoctrinating.
01:24:14.000Like, they didn't even do a good job teaching me about Christianity.
01:24:17.000Of course not, it was Catholic school.
01:24:19.000They teach you how to learn, which is sit, raise your hand, don't speak unless you're called on, which first of all is like, are you kidding?
01:24:45.000So when I'm a kid, we had religion class, take out your religion book at 9am or whatever, and they wouldn't really actually teach us about the complex ideas around spirituality, faith, and the universe.
01:24:57.000It was kind of just like, read the paragraph, I'll be reading my book.
01:25:02.000I'll be collecting my salary at the end of the week.
01:25:04.000Imagine if Catholic schools were as interested in teaching the students about Catholicism as public schools are at teaching kids to become transgender.
01:25:12.000If someone has a deep love for Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin and my faith, you can't assume that a Catholic school is going to be good for your kid.
01:25:21.000I'm a big advocate of homeschooling, probably because I've never done it.
01:25:24.000being facetious i'm sure it's it's easy for someone who doesn't have kids but also i know i'm a huge advocate of homeschooling i think these institutions are are terrible there are some really good institutions you can still find but for the most part you can't say oh well it's like it's a catholic school therefore they're going to teach my kids good things So I grew up in Chicago with a fairly liberal family, but my mom still wanted to homeschool me and my siblings.
01:25:48.000And then once, I went to Catholic school, kindergarten to fifth grade, then public school sixth to eighth.
01:25:54.000Spent a couple months, freshman year of high school, and my parents pulled me out saying it was bad.
01:26:00.000We did a correspondence thing where my dad would come in every day, and this is when my parents were getting divorced, but my dad would come in.
01:26:10.000Me and my brother sped through the entirety of high school because we could go as fast as we wanted.
01:26:15.000And I look at the school system as just corrupt for a lot of reasons, outside of what they're doing now with the creepy conversations with these children.
01:26:22.000And they're like, we have to talk about our relationships and our significant others.
01:26:30.000They don't do a good job of actually teaching kids.
01:26:33.000I believe that every human has potential.
01:26:39.000That if you take a kid from anywhere, and you give them access to knowledge, and you teach them, and you show them, here's how you hammer a nail, here's how you, you know, build a bicycle, they're gonna learn that.
01:26:48.000I still remember the cheat code from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 on Nintendo.
01:27:15.000What happens when you go to a school and you got a kid who's ready to learn and absorb information, and they just waste their time?
01:27:21.000They talk about nonsense and politics.
01:27:23.000These kids are gonna grow up without critical thinking skills.
01:27:25.000And not just waste their time, but groom them.
01:27:27.000And then on top of that, let's say we had public schools which functioned effectively and were really teaching kids the things they needed to be taught.
01:27:34.000The idea that you're going to sit a kid in a desk for six hours a day and end up having any kind of productive outcome from that is insane.
01:27:41.000I used to stare at the clock and just wait to be done because I was like, what are you doing?
01:27:45.000I want to talk about grooming a little bit because it doesn't have to be, firstly, I don't think it has to be sexual.
01:27:49.000You can groom someone to be a psychopath to do other bad things.
01:27:52.000And it doesn't have to be non-parents.
01:27:53.000I think parents can groom their kids to do evil things if they're bad people.
01:27:56.000Yeah, here's the fascinating thing is there's this big like the big push now from the left is they're saying uh parents are are grooming kids into heterosexuality by talking about like marriage and things like that and i was like okay let me let me just make this clear uh the parental rights and education bill prevents a teacher from talking to a five-year-old about traditional marriage i mean the bill does that and then you can't encourage the kid to keep it a secret So no, that's a ridiculous argument.
01:28:27.000The reality is, people are just like, hey, I don't want you talking to my kids about adult content, adult issues.
01:28:34.000Also, one thing that we just have to be able to acknowledge is, if you think that's even remotely true, your brain just doesn't work properly.
01:28:40.000Telling a child that they can someday grow up and get married and have a family is absolutely not equivalent to trying to encourage them to engage in sexually depraved behaviors when they're older, or render themselves infertile with experimental hormones.
01:28:51.000I'm taking their position on this, where it's like, a guy says, My kids might ask me, you know, my students might ask me about having a boyfriend.
01:28:58.000And it's like, yeah, that's not banned.
01:29:00.000You can literally be like, yes, it's a photo of my boyfriend.
01:29:02.000Now, if you want to understand, but you're a boy too, well, maybe you should talk to your parents and they can help you understand these more adult concepts.
01:29:11.000Instead, they're like, let me tell you about all of it.
01:29:14.000That's not... If the kid's confused or doesn't understand because they're not exposed to it, you just simply say, maybe it's something your parents should talk to you about.
01:29:21.000I'm not here to teach you about that stuff, but, you know... It's the guys of education.
01:29:28.000They are hiding behind the guys and the excuse of, and the shield of, they think, education.
01:29:33.000If you take the same exact situation, same exact scenario, same exact people, And you put them out in a public park, or you put them at a mall, or you put them over at somebody's house, or whatever, and the same exact thing went down, you would have the right to go after those people.
01:29:47.000I feel like the politicians are wrecking the economy under the guise of politics.
01:30:26.000Yeah, and then it got polled because people were like, what does that mean?
01:30:29.000I do believe there's solar age, it's how many times your body's been around the sun, but then there's your genetic age, and some people age faster and slower depending on how much damage you're doing to your telomeres.
01:30:38.000My point is just simply, In any other industry, all of these people would have retired.
01:30:44.000Not every single one, but like Pelosi?
01:31:20.000That now that's a tidal wave that's coming though is on the local level.
01:31:23.000I can tell you right here in Middle Tennessee, every single county in Middle Tennessee has parents and grandparents who are running for school board positions, county commissioners, you name it, all the way up and down the tickets.
01:31:36.000And they, these guys are running for the hills.
01:31:38.000They don't know what to do because the parents are so fired up that the schools won't listen to them.
01:31:43.000And are just running roughshod over their rights as parents.
01:31:46.000They're just going, well, I'm a stay-at-home mom, but I'm running for the school board.
01:32:45.000I think you should treat kids like adults, within reason, obviously.
01:32:49.000You can cuss at an adult, you can get in an argument with them, you can show them certain things you wouldn't show a kid, but you talk to them on matters age-relevant, as if they were adults.
01:33:00.000So if they say hey, what is this if Ian said, you know, how do I how do I fix the mic?
01:33:04.000I'll be like, okay take the XLR plug it that's the cable right there.
01:33:06.000I would I wouldn't say to the kid Okay, this is a microphone a microphone.
01:33:11.000No, you just talk to him like normal so they can learn I like it when the kids can come in first of all, it's fun We've got ski ball, we've got a skate park, and I want them to be like, this is exciting.
01:33:21.000I want kids to look up to success and say, if I work hard and I believe in myself, I can accomplish cool stuff too.
01:35:41.000If you have not already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show, click the share button if you really do like it, and head over to TimCast.com.
01:35:48.000We're going to have that members-only show coming up around 11 or so p.m.
01:35:52.000Eastern Time, so you don't want to miss that.
01:35:53.000And I'm saying Eastern Time because we're in Central Time right now, so just so everybody knows, but a lot of people are often like, what time zone are you in?
01:35:59.000We're currently in Central, but it'll be up 11 p.m.
01:36:58.000Like, is Tim Pool, is Sir Timothy Cass turning children into chicken wannabes with his programming?
01:37:04.000I've got some... Is it a bad influence?
01:37:06.000Some far-left activist is, like, posting screenshots from our vlog channel, which is, like, skateboarding, rollerblading, um... And hand-faking cookies.
01:37:14.000Interrogation techniques, you know, the usual.
01:37:16.000It's like making cake, making, getting a cake for Ian's birthday, and they're like, look at the fart, right?
01:37:21.000Love what look at this the people supporting them and it's like a guy playing guitar and singing it's like someone singing kumbaya and i'm like yo you've lost it exactly well and i'm gonna say something that if they were ever gonna act on would be like you know bad for us but they're too stupid to uh it's actually really good for us that they're doing that because the whole point of the vlog is we're just trying to show people you can Have fun, build culture, etc.
01:37:43.000while still being conservative, or at the very least not on the left.
01:37:46.000And so for them to try to make it sound like it's scary that we're doing everyday normal things is just going to make us seem more appealing and likable to an audience.
01:37:53.000It feels like people are throwing pebbles at a rocket ship as it's taking off.
01:37:56.000And it's like, you know, throws me off.
01:37:59.000But also, you look like a lunatic when you do that.
01:38:01.000Yeah, and history will show that, so stay strong and keep going.
01:38:05.000I can only imagine the advertisers are getting these emails from people like, look at what you're supporting!
01:38:10.000And it's like someone playing a guitar for chickens, and they're like, I really don't understand how this is bothering anybody.
01:38:15.000High-fiving, tipping really well when we go out there.
01:38:17.000Did they just show them Tim's ad-friendly chicken show?
01:38:29.000So it's only, we've only been hitting good super chats for the past week, but at the current rate, it will be one of the highest grossing super chat shows in the world.
01:38:38.000Because of how just ridiculous people are just throwing money at the chickens, they love it.
01:39:52.000But I gotta be honest, the chicken parties, there might be like 30 or 40 that come out, and people keep doing it, so I'm like... I know, because the other option would be to raise the cost of the chicken parties up, because the more people that come, otherwise it's going to be a chicken party 24-7, which I'm not against.
01:40:16.000My idea is right now we're using very rudimentary code, but I would love to get dynamic code where when the chicken meter fills all the way up, it doesn't just trigger.
01:40:26.000It starts at 100 and then counts down to zero.
01:40:28.000So the party goes on for the duration of the meter, which means while the party is happening, if you super chat, it'll bounce back up and keep partying.
01:41:17.000And this song, I was telling you before we went on, This song went number one on the sales chart across all genres and knocked Adele out of number one for eight days when her new record had just come out.
01:41:27.000So you know they're sitting over there in London, New York going, Mike Rowe and John Rich, Santa's got a dirty job.
01:41:45.000All right, Matthew Hammond says, I thought country music was safe until I started hearing some big acts coming out for gun control after Sandy Hook.
01:41:52.000How do we keep these ideas out of our culture?
01:42:09.000And every now and then you'll hear somebody poke up and say something from the industry side and the fans go, I don't think so.
01:42:16.000Well, that's only happened a couple of times because they understand what the backlash is like.
01:42:19.000But in reality, a lot of the people on music row here in Nashville, not all, but many, majority, They would be the ones that would call those people out there that listen to country music, the deplorables.
01:42:30.000Anybody that voted for Trump, there have been major record producers in Nashville that after Trump was elected, the guy walks in, he's got all these musicians sitting in a room in a big session, he goes, if anybody voted for Trump, raise your hand.
01:42:44.000Two guys raised their hand, and he fired them on the spot and kicked them out of the studio.
01:42:48.000I mean, that's the culture now of Music Row.
01:42:50.000It's not the culture of a lot of the artists, but it is a culture of the industry.
01:42:53.000Well, take a look at, uh, you're familiar with what happened with The Offspring and their drummer?
01:43:16.000Cause they had an early drummer who wasn't there for that long.
01:43:18.000And, uh, he plays with them for almost two decades and then they disrespect him like that, that, you know, he, he, he couldn't get vaccinated because of, uh, uh, Guillain-Barre syndrome.
01:43:51.000Now it's the other way where all the tough guys out there, the Bruce Springsteens and so forth are out there going, you better do everything the government tells you to do.
01:44:00.000Or, you can't come to my concert if you don't follow it to the letter.
01:44:03.000I'm like, what happened to outlaw musicians?
01:44:06.000What happened to the rambunctious punk rock?
01:44:09.000Hey, take two of these and call me in the morning attitude from all of our American artists.
01:44:51.000This was before we had had a record deal.
01:44:54.000And this guy tells us a story about a battle, November 8th, 1965, the first major ambush of Vietnam.
01:45:00.000All 27 out of 30 guys were killed except this one guy and two others, but they shot him up so bad that he went to Walter Reed for two years getting over his injuries.
01:45:10.000He limped out of Walter Reed and guess what this guy does?
01:45:13.000He signs up and does three more tours of Vietnam for the United States Army and then retires back in his home state of South Dakota.
01:45:29.000So we wrote this song the 8th of November.
01:45:31.000We took him all the way back to the... We had former communist Vietnamese guys take us back up to Mekong Delta and out into these fields into a crater that was made by one of our bombs right in the field where all those guys got slaughtered.
01:45:44.000Took him down in there, had a shot of whiskey, sang the 8th of November.
01:45:47.000It's on YouTube if you look up 8th of November documentary.
01:45:52.000But that's what country music really is to me.
01:45:55.000That's why I make it because I can experience something real and I don't have to filter it.
01:45:59.000I can just tell you about this incredible guy or tell you about this incredible situation and the fans eat it up and they love it because even though it's not their granddaddy, not their uncle, it reminds them of the people in their family that they love so much.
01:47:11.000No, I think it's our culture that homogenizes them.
01:47:13.000It's what we've been talking about this entire podcast, that this system, this machine that's in place is trying to break out any individuality whatsoever.
01:47:21.000Break it down, flush it out, get rid of it.
01:47:23.000Everybody's got to think the same way, do the same thing.
01:47:26.000And when those kids grow up and start making music, that's kind of how they think.
01:47:30.000They don't really have the nerve to step outside of the box and take chances.
01:47:34.000Alright, we got Amanda who says, Today is my daughter Sophia's 7th birthday.
01:48:48.000Phillip Hughes says, question for John, are you going to take Tim on a sightseeing tour of Nashville in your Cadillac convertible like you did Ben Shapiro?
01:49:10.000Take you right down Broadway, hooping and hollering, pull right up in front of Redneck Riviera, and let's get you on stage to jam a little bit with one of the bands.
01:55:14.000So there's also questions about who has a right to, you know, on your property use a weapon.
01:55:19.000And so what I'm told in some areas which by the way the cops are like in the in an emergency someone can take the weapon but you know they're like but you someone shouldn't be bearing a weapon that they can't come in your house and take a gun that doesn't belong to them for no reason there's like rules and stuff I suppose they try to be more lax about it like depending which state you're in but there are some states that are ridiculous and strict So that's one way to... You mean somebody coming into your house and taking one of your weapons?
01:55:43.000Like, if you own a gun, and then someone else who is hanging out at your house takes that and starts using it, some states are very, very strict on you're in possession of a firearm.
01:55:58.000But you're talking about using it in self-defense, not someone taking it and committing a crime with it.
01:56:02.000I don't I don't trust these these states the 70 states or whatever when they're like oh no no you're not supposed people who don't own the gun aren't allowed to use it because it's got you got you got to have a handgun license but in self-defense it's fine I'm like nah I don't trust you you're you're you're not Yeah, you might say that, but am I gonna trust the DA or whatever government official?
01:56:23.000If it's self-defense, defend yourself and let's go hash it out down the road.
01:56:27.000I mean, don't stand there worrying about somebody's statute if it's your life on the line, right?
01:56:31.000It's just ridiculous that it's even a factor, to be honest.
01:56:34.000Yeah I know that they would tell you don't defend your life like no you're better off just sitting there and letting it happen like come on yeah no man welcome to reality in the United States.
01:56:42.000This is a culture that is literally bent on punishing people for trying to protect themselves and trying to prepare for the future it's insane.
01:56:49.000I think it's because of aggressive protection like the Romans they would kill everyone around them to protect their home city so that there's a it's a whole discussion about that.
01:56:56.000I want to read this one, but I'm going to paraphrase it a little bit.
01:56:59.000Liberty Bell says, When the city libs get desperate enough to work on farms, the jobs will be taken by the immigrants they fought to protect.
01:57:08.000Many of these undocumented, illegal immigrants, these people coming through the border, who are doing day labor or working on farms, have more skills.
01:57:19.000So, I've been to the farms in California, where illegal immigrants are working and they're getting paid.
01:57:53.000I'm gonna read this one because I said I was right.
01:57:55.000Donut fighting says Tim is kind of right here masks work when used properly
01:57:59.000I started as a nurse right as Kovat started masks need to be disposed of between patients. Yes, correct, but it's
01:58:06.000also like Look if I'm talking and then I I spit because sometimes you
01:58:11.000do yeah, you can get people sick that way And if you're wearing a mask, you're not going to spit on them.
01:58:16.000But mandating that every single person, whether they're sick or not, has to wear it, and mandating every single child, whether they're sick or not, has to wear it, now that's just government overreach.
01:58:25.000Yeah, but you know that if you sneeze or something in a mask, the kind of mask that we all wear, and somebody's standing next to you, they could have a mask on too, if their eyes are even open.
01:58:35.000And those particles, it's like the joke of, if you can smell the fart, you're not protected from the virus.
01:58:41.000It's like the particles of that virus are so smaller than scent particles, you know, they're going to get out, they're going to float around in the air for a minute.
01:59:54.000You're the last guy who should be advocating for that stuff because... Well, I guess, actually, most people would assume you would, so... If you're trying... So, he's got these quotes that are suspect, and he was like, no, people are taking it out of context.
