The January 6th Committee has a list of prominent Trump supporters, activists, and members of Congress. They want access to their private communications. Is this a government list, or is this a list put out by the government targeting political dissidents?
00:00:16.000Today, the January 6th Committee put out a list of people for whom they demand the private records of, and it includes tons of prominent Trump supporters, activists, I think it's what, members of Congress even, right?
00:00:29.000Well, I'm looking over and the person nodding at me is one of the people on the list.
00:00:36.000I am on the official regime enemies list.
00:00:39.000It is not the first time I have made a regime enemies list.
00:00:42.000I have so many people I need to thank for for allowing me this moment but but in all seriousness.
00:00:51.000This represents a turning point, right?
00:00:54.000This has gotten, and for me and for my family, you know, I've had conversations with my wife, who's actually here tonight, and my parents, you know, what does this mean going forward?
00:01:05.000Because here's the thing is that this is a first step.
00:01:23.000You've got Alex Jones, you got Steve Bannon, you got Scott Pressler.
00:01:26.000Donald Trump, his entire family, a huge slew of Trump officials to include Kash Patel, who if anyone has seen Plot Against the President knows what Kash did behind the scenes.
00:01:37.000So he's been put on the list, by the way, to neutralize him.
00:01:40.000So that puts him in a bind that he can't now go and operate out.
00:01:44.000You've got people that were part of the administration, people are in and around the administration.
00:01:49.000It's basically, if you are a public Trump supporter, you have now been put on this list.
00:01:54.000And they are now requesting and I say requesting it is a subpoena for your private communications between April 2020 all the way back April 2020.
00:03:12.000So we were like, you know, we should have you guys come in and talk about energy independence and obviously what's been happening in the U.S.
00:03:42.000Yes, so this is the January 6th, the select committee, the commission that they've set up for the investigation into the January 6th, you know, it was a riot at the Capitol.
00:03:52.000And they're now targeting... And keep in mind that the vast majority of the people on this list, and I have to go check it again, were not participants or members in any way.
00:04:16.000I'm going to be super quiet today because I'm really ready to listen to what's going on with this weird and crazy list and why Jack's on it and what did Jack do.

00:06:34.000From CNBC, January 6th committee demands a huge trove of Trump White House records, burying the lead here.
00:06:42.000This is the official reporting from CNBC, but what they're not telling you, as much as the key point is the House committee investigating January 6th assault on the Capitol, formally demanded records related to at least 30 members of former President Donald Trump's inner circle.
00:06:56.000What they don't include in this is that the list includes a ton of other people.
00:07:01.000We're talking like run-of-the-mill activists.
00:07:03.000We're talking about, look, you got Scott Pressler.
00:07:06.000Why is Scott Pressler on this list for a demand for records?
00:07:10.000Scott Pressler is an activist who registers Republicans to vote and cleans up garbage.
00:07:16.000What does he have to do with January 6th?
00:07:41.000They want all documents and communications within the White House on January 6th, 2021 relating in any way to the following, and they say the January 6th rally, the March, Donald J. Trump, Sarah Matthews, Hope Hicks, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, Pat Cipollone, Mark Short, Patrick Philbin, Eric Hirschman, Stephen Miller, Greg Jacob.
00:08:12.000From April 1st, 2020 through January 20th, 2021, all documents and communications concerning the 2020 election and relating to the following individuals.
00:08:23.000And that's where we see, you know, Ali Alexander, Brandon Strzok, Rose Tennant, Vernon Jones, Michael Flynn, Alex Jones, Owen Schroyer, Scott Pressler, Jack Posobiec, Angela Stanton King, George Papadopoulos, Mark Burns, Roger Stone, George Flynn.
00:08:37.000I mean, I don't even know Enrique Tarrio, Michael Caudry.
00:08:41.000I don't even know who some of these people are.
00:08:54.000Why do they want communications going back a year before?
00:08:58.000And keep in mind, what it says, and my legal team has been over this with a fine tooth comb, what they're requesting for, if you look at this specific subsection where it names the activists, It doesn't even mention the actual January 6th event itself.
00:09:16.000It just says, all documents and communications concerning the 2020 election from April to January 20th.
00:09:24.000So essentially, if you had any comment whatsoever, any communication whatsoever with the government
00:09:32.000from that entire, it's almost a year that they're asking for, of the private records,
00:09:36.000personal communications that they are trying to subpoena, this has nothing to do with January
00:09:42.000And I'll tell you very quickly, what they're trying to do with me, and I know exactly what
00:09:46.000they're trying to do with me, is they are trying to go after my White House sources.
00:09:51.000They want to know who it is that I've been in communication with at the White House that, of course, is being done in a way where I'm keeping them private.
00:10:02.000It's a network of people that send stuff to me and then I get it out, right?
00:10:06.000They know that this has been a thorn in the side of the Biden administration because there are some people that are even in the Biden administration that are looking at this.
00:10:14.000They want to get into my records and they want to get that out.
00:10:16.000Well, I'm here to say right now to Nancy Pelosi and anybody else, you're not getting it.
00:10:31.000They're telling me the truth about what's going on when it comes to COVID and the government's response.
00:10:35.000They're telling me the truth about what's going on on the ground in Kabul.
00:10:38.000They're telling me the truth about what's actually going on behind the scenes at the White House, as opposed to the lies that you people are putting out in your press briefings.
00:10:46.000And so if you want to come for it, you better be ready.
00:12:00.000Right, so what it is, is this is the first step in the process.
00:12:03.000What they're doing now is they're going for internal government documents that would have been held under the Trump administration as pertains to the Presidential Records Act, as well as anything else that might be on file regarding this, you know, regarding the election.
00:12:20.000At least there's different subsections and there's different types of things that they're asking for for different groups of people.
00:12:24.000And so but by and large, it's a letter to the National Archivist.
00:12:28.000So what that is, is all those records.
00:12:30.000So when you go to a presidential museum, and you'll see that you have the entire records of that administration there, if you go to the Kennedy Museum or the Roosevelt Museum.
00:12:37.000And so what they've done now, obviously, Trump doesn't have a museum yet up.
00:12:41.000Obama doesn't even have his museum up yet.
00:12:42.000He's getting some legal trouble with that.
00:12:44.000But what they do is the National Archivist will set all of those records aside.
00:12:49.000So then the question becomes, does and will Trump come back?
00:12:55.000And I think they know what's going to happen is that he'll exert what's called executive privilege over either all of these records or a portion of these records.
00:13:03.000And then, of course, that's where the politics comes in.
00:13:05.000And they're going to demand, well, hey, these people were outside the administration.
00:13:09.000Like myself, I wasn't a member of the administration.
00:13:11.000I was working for One American News at the time.
00:13:13.000Now, I have a trivia question for you.
00:13:14.000phone call with today and and we you know we talked about everything and we
00:13:17.000said and they said you know we got your back Jack now I have a trivia question
00:13:20.000for you if you wanted to avoid the presidential records act and you set up
00:13:26.000a separate email server in what room of your house would you put that service I
00:13:33.000would I really want to basement basement bathroom Right, the basement bathroom.
00:13:41.000That's actually a great way of explaining this.
00:13:43.000You set up jackpasobicworld.com and you have everyone and I am Steve Johnson at Jack Pasobic and we all use this and it's run out of my basement and that way when the big power of FOIA comes in and says we want to see your records you say I'm not using any government records.
00:13:58.000To be fair I'm using That was the whole purpose of it.
00:14:28.000Because when an activist, partisan group gets together and they decide that they want to
00:14:34.000expend and it's a complete overreach, a massive overreach of political capital and government
00:14:39.000capital where they want to go into people's private lives like this.
00:14:43.000This is one way that if you are somebody like Hillary Clinton, who's running these off the books operations, we saw that what Sidney Blumenthal was running around Libya right before the invasion and all of this.
00:14:53.000right, that she's able to do that mixing classified information in and out. But if you're someone,
00:14:59.000you know, and that's totally fine when you're Hillary Clinton. But if you're someone in the
00:15:02.000Trump administration, right? Imagine if you know, Donald Trump had a private email, another guy
00:15:07.000doesn't use email, but you know, we know what happened.
00:15:10.000This is what happens when you're on the other side of that.
00:15:13.000They will come after you with the full force of the federal government.
00:15:16.000And what I've been told, what I've been told from a lot of people is, okay, that's the Presidential Records Act.
00:15:36.000So I have already picked out my Gulag job and it's already taken, but it's actually going to be providing a service to everyone else who's on the list and probably everyone in this room who will be there with me.
00:16:34.000It's calling for records related to the election.
00:16:37.000What they want to do, what they've been trying to do, every step of the way has been They've just literally gutted and mutilated the American
00:18:09.000They'll say, okay, well, how about we have the archivist start checking to make sure those records exist, and then the judge will be like, well, before they can be released, there has to be a challenge and there's an injunction, and then they leak.
00:18:23.000And then private communications start leaking out of context.
00:18:26.000All of a sudden, news stories emerge accusing people of very serious wrongdoing, and it's used to seed very, very bad press and shock content through the midterms and into the next presidential election.
00:18:37.000Well, and how they'll do this also, and this is just how the Justice Department works when it's pursuing a lead, is they will say, all right, well, this is only official government correspondence.
00:18:45.000So any .gov, whitehouse.gov email address that mentions Jack by name, and then they'll read the email and they'll say, Jack was at the Christmas party on Thursday.
00:18:54.000And they'll say, well, we need to know more about the Christmas party.
00:18:56.000And who else was at the Christmas party?
00:19:49.000Like, I'm under no, I'm under no aspersions that they, what they want to do, what they're trying to do here, is, remember, George Papadopoulos, the fact that he's on this list as well, he was caught up in this, he got a date wrong.
00:20:03.000He got a date wrong in the first one of these witch hunts during Russiagate.
00:20:07.000So he got the date wrong in Russiagate.
00:20:08.000And so he went to jail for a week because when he sat down and had that conversation, he couldn't remember when he met the guy who talked about Hillary's emails.
00:20:17.000You know, I said it was this day was actually a month before, you know.
00:20:20.000You know a year later right that's how they get you that's what they're looking for is perjury traps
00:20:24.000That's why Trump refused to go in person and said he'd have his lawyer draft a letter written only right so my lawyers
00:21:09.000I want to... Lydia pulled up this graphic.
00:21:12.000This is an image that we've seen before on the show, and we debated whether or not it was true and correct, but it's the Ten Stages of Genocide.
00:21:19.000Now the first thing is that this graphic we have is an oversimplification of the actual Ten Stages of Genocide that was initially written, I think it was written by a historian or academic, talking about what we see through various authoritarian dictatorships.
00:22:51.000So the conversation we're having before was about, you know, the obviously, you know, January 6th, they put out this list of a bunch of people, including Trump activists.
00:22:59.000But when you think about it in terms of the vaccine, oh, this list is It's scary.
00:23:44.000And then official action to remove and relocate people.
00:23:46.000I'll tell you this, I don't think we're there yet in terms of the vaccine, but you have various aspects of this across the board.
00:23:51.000We gotta be careful we don't play into this either, because the first one Us and them.
00:23:55.000I've noticed when I have conversations here and in general, I talk about them like they are the Biden crew or whatever, the deep state, whatever, they, I'm feeding this.
00:24:04.000And if I keep talking, lazily acting like that, they're going to keep acting like, see, I just did it again.
00:24:14.000Well, but if we don't go that direction, we're going to start dividing people.
00:24:17.000It's very easy to lead someone who's thinking in those terms.
00:24:24.000By the way, what you just said is, if you tune into MSNBC or CNN right now and you listen to how they talk about these medical mandates, They always use terms of we and us.
00:25:08.000We are... You know, Bill Maher made this five, six, maybe it was about a year and a half ago on one of his monologues where he talked about Middle America.
00:25:29.000But I fear that if I don't have a they versus us, they're going to kill me.
00:25:34.000Like, they talk about me, you know, what they're doing to you with this January 6th commission right now.
00:25:41.000They have complete desire to eradicate me from the political space, from the discourse space, from what I do for a living.
00:25:49.000And so if I don't put up boundaries, they're coming after me.
00:25:52.000And remember, what we've also seen that's going on, and this is something that I'm going to get into if they want to pursue this with me, is they will set up operations.
00:26:03.000We've seen this even just last year, where the federal government and the FBI will use a system of informants and plants that will go into various groups, these sort of like edge case groups, discord chats, Facebook groups, and then they will become accelerants.
00:26:20.000So they will accelerate what's going on.
00:26:23.000They will become accelerationists for that specific unit, that specific group of people, whether it's a militia or something.
00:26:30.000And we are going to get onto all of that, Nancy Pelosi.
00:26:33.000I want to find Nancy Pelosi's personal communications that were members of these militias.
00:26:38.000I want to go after all the communications that her and her staff have had with Stuart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers.
00:26:45.000I want to make a point to wrap up what Ian said.
00:26:48.000There's only one thing you need to understand so you know that this is just not correct.
00:26:52.000Go tell the Taliban what you just said.
00:26:54.000Go walk up to them outside of the airport in Kabul and say, we're all in this together.
00:26:58.000There's no us and them, and see how they treat you.
00:27:53.000I see partly what you're saying because there are situations where it can become so volatile that if you insert yourself, you'll be destroyed in a moment.
00:28:01.000What do you think is happening when they put together a list of people?
00:28:05.000This is part of creating that volatility.
00:28:07.000We can also create that volatility if we want, so it's like, you can acknowledge that it's there without propelling it.
00:28:13.000Ignoring the problem won't make it stop.
00:28:14.000I'm not saying to ignore it, I'm just saying don't feed it.
00:28:16.000I'll put it this way, as a Catholic, I believe that there is a heaven in that wonderful, you know, the new Eden, the new kingdom, that it will be us, and we will all be one, and we will all be together.
00:28:30.000In this current moment, in this part of the movie that we're in right now, in what we're living through, what I am personally living through, when I look at my kids, when I put them to bed and think, is this the last time I'm going to see them because somebody's going to come knock on my door and take me away?
00:28:45.000With CNN getting tipped off because of my opinions, right?
00:28:49.000I don't really have that luxury right now.
00:28:51.000But I do have my rosary, and I say that every day, but that's all I got.
00:28:54.000You raised an interesting point, and I think this is where our system is rigged, and it is very messed up, in that you said, I'd love to see Nancy Pelosi's correspondence, but Congress is exempt.
00:29:04.000Congress doesn't have to share their records.
00:29:05.000No one has the authority to ask for Nancy Pelosi's records.
00:29:08.000Now, she has the authority to ask for the President's records.
00:29:12.000I find that a huge flaw with our problem, right?
00:29:15.000FOIA does not exist in the legislative branch.
00:29:19.000You can't ask your senator, your congressman... I'll get him.
00:29:43.000And that is a huge problem with the way things are structured right now.
00:29:48.000And so you can subpoena you, you can impeach the president twice, but what authority does the president have to say, I would like to know how Nancy Pelosi is coordinating with X, Y, or Z to come after me and my administration?
00:29:59.000Oh, and another one, by the way, Chuck Schumer.
00:30:04.000Did you see what happened to your boy, Andrew?
00:32:08.000And then they go and they interview somebody and it's this like, you know, pasty white guy with a mask going, well I just had to call the police on this church and what they were doing was just so wrong and it was terrible.
00:32:37.000I mean, it's like folding chairs and like, not well off church, but it was a place where people were going, because they were looking for some semblance of connection to the eternal and to the infinite, something positive, a sense of community where they could get over.
00:32:53.000And you should hear the way, I don't know if you have the clip of it, but the way they're talking about this church, they call them arrogant and they call them greedy and self-interested.
00:33:04.000And I'm like, these are Christians you're referring to this way.
00:33:07.000People who are not affluent, people who aren't on fancy news networks like Peter Overton.
00:33:12.000You raised a great point of how it is punishing the poor, and when Obama had his birthday party a couple weeks ago and people were saying, you know, hypocrisy, etc.
00:33:21.000I took a very different approach, and another thing that happened at the birthday party, John Kerry showed up in his private jet, right, and people said, shame on John Kerry, hypocrisy.
00:33:28.000And I said if I had John Kerry's wealth and married a rich widow, the old-fashioned way you make your money, right?
00:34:26.000You know, they went to bed one night and woke up.
00:34:29.000And now they're getting the restrictions, they're getting the mandates, they're getting everything they wanted to take away people's liberties and people's freedoms through the threat of, it's almost cliche to say it at this point, but the Rahm Emanuel's famous quote, never let a crisis go to waste.
00:34:46.000Yeah, and COVID is for your good, for the good of society.
00:34:50.000Therefore, you have to follow these prescriptions.
00:34:52.000And the environmentalists have wanted that forever.
00:34:55.000COVID shut down people's ability to go to church.
00:35:15.000When I say literal, I'm saying... $1,000 fines if they catch you outside after curfew.
00:35:19.000And at what point do the police, the Australian police, who I hope are listening to this podcast on horseback, say, I am not going to hit this person with my... But you see the video of them hitting the people... Well, did you see the truckers' videos?
00:35:32.000At what point did the Australian police say, I am not obeying this order?
00:35:35.000I saw a couple of videos where it was truckers saying, you know, we run this country.
00:35:42.000And people realize, so you look on the map, Australia is pretty big.
00:35:44.000But if you look at the actual, you know, I always do map breaks on Twitter.
00:35:49.000If you look at the actual populated areas, it's only around the coast, right?
00:35:55.000And so Those truckers are absolutely necessary, as much as they are everywhere else, but really in Australia, when they're shipping those goods, when they're shipping that food, and you're starting now to hear these truckers, and they're saying, we will shut this country down over this if you keep pushing us over this.
00:36:14.000You know, because we like to talk about the police and, you know, the big movement to abolish the police.
00:36:19.000This is why I'm saying right now, I've been on the abolish the police train for a little bit, mostly talking to Michael Malice, and it has a lot to do with watching what happened with the lockdowns.
00:36:29.000How many cops, not all of them, you know, NYPD actually.
00:36:31.000I think a lot of people on the right had a moment.
00:36:35.000They went through something watching those videos.
00:36:37.000Yeah, but they're going right back to back the blue.
00:36:40.000You know, there's a period where we saw people on the right throwing the thin blue line flag on the ground and stomping on it because the cops were now turning on them.
00:36:48.000But you look at what's happening in Australia, and who's enforcing it?
00:37:50.000But what I'm saying is, is you to get a conservative to kind of go wholeheartedly and join hands with like a BLM member on that you it would take a lot of conversation and a lot of looking at issues like what you're talking about, by the way, and getting them to actually sit down and say, wait a minute, perhaps there were and I actually had Nico House, who's a BLM guys like Amanda left, but he's someone that I've become friends with and someone that I talked to.
00:38:17.000And one thing that he always says is, Jack, I'm not against the rule of law.
00:39:01.000The cops are playing their role, I agree with you.
00:39:03.000But step one is when the mayor says, as of today, no church is allowed to be open, you need priests and ministers and parishioners to say, I'm just gonna say screw that, I'm gonna go to church.
00:39:33.000If all of these people in New York said, I will not abide by illegal activities because violating, discriminating against someone on the basis of a disability is a violation of New York City state and federal health and non-discrimination laws.
00:40:26.000We are a few months behind where they've been.
00:40:29.000Now we have a constitution which does provide us some shielding in this, but if police officers have already been willing to arrest and fine and block people from going to church, it's the First Amendment.
00:40:44.000So it is the role of individuals individual police officers and individual ministers priests parish priests and individuals restaurant owners and and bar owners it is the role of the individual to say i am not following this when you say abolish the police we are talking about institutions and i would argue that the institution is not the thing at flaw right now
00:41:09.000So I disagree with the abolish the police movement because we are talking about institutional flaws.
00:41:24.000And then enough cops are eventually going to say, I'm not doing, but teachers are already quitting their jobs saying, I'm not following that.
00:41:29.000As Jack just mentioned, it's an individual problem.
00:41:55.000I was joking with Michael Knowles that he had that Reasons to Vote for Democrats book and it's all blank on the inside.
00:42:01.000And that I was like, I should take a page out of your book and do a Get Out of Cities book, and then just have one page, Get Out of Cities.
00:43:12.000When you have small business owners... We locked up Japanese in World War II.
00:43:16.000When you have small business owners being arrested while prisoners are being freed, and far leftists went around causing billions in damages in big and small cities across this country, it's not a suspension of habeas corpus.
00:43:32.000We already see the stories of the sheriff in Minnesota who arrested that woman because she had a cafe and she refused to shut down.
00:43:38.000If you purchase a weapon, as is your Second Amendment right, to protect yourself as riots are going on, I guarantee you these police will go to your house and they will arrest you.
00:43:50.000If you are concerned that a 70-year-old man was bashed over the head with a rock and left bleeding on the ground, which happened in Kenosha, and you say, I'm scared for my community, and then someone comes to you and says, you're a young man working at the YMCA, how would you like to help protect our business?
00:44:05.000And then when a man chases you, trying to steal your gun, you flee.
00:44:09.000And then when someone else fires a gun at you from behind, you turn, and when that man reaches for your gun, you fire in defense, they will lock you up.
00:44:16.000They will go to your house in Wisconsin, Black Lives Matter, and when you brandish a firearm to show that you're acting in defense of your home, the police will go into your house and arrest you, and Black Lives Matter will celebrate it.
00:44:28.000When Black Lives Matter went to a house in Milwaukee and set fire to it because they thought two girls were kidnapped there, and they weren't, This is why a guy in his house sees the same group, and it was the same group, same activists, and thinks, I better, you know, let them know I'm armed.
00:44:43.000Now, he shouldn't have pointed the weapon at them, that I can say, but Black Lives Matter, they were the ones who were complaining about the cops, but when the cops showed up, they celebrated it.
00:45:21.000So I look at right now, when we see a lot of these cops quitting after the defund the police stuff, I tell you this, man, the videos we see now, like the one in Seattle, Antifa is chasing a guy, he's backing up and he's saying, get away from me.
00:45:33.000And the cops come and arrest him and then say, I'm so sorry, man, would you mind?
00:45:38.000I think though, To only blame cops and to single out cops solely, right, is maybe a little bit, you know, limiting in terms of how you're looking at it, right?
00:45:52.000We are looking at, in our cities, a symptom, a symptom of a broader societal collapse of moral values, of national institutions, national identity.
00:46:03.000No, and I don't think you are, but I think a lot, I think there are a lot of people are who do that.
00:46:07.000And I think that a lot of what we're, what we're seeing now is the collapse of this very, and a lot of this started in the 60s.
00:46:15.000You can argue it went back further, but when it really comes down to it, if we do not have a national shared vision of what our morals are, what our, our national identity is, what does it mean to be American?
00:46:27.000When we're starting to destabilize these societies, like these groups, like Antifa, I just wrote a whole book about Antifa, but And I pointed out their role is not, like they have their stated role, but then they have their actual in practice role.
00:47:06.000But when I look at our we institutions, you take something as simple as this is a minute and a half of your time that we're going to say the darn national anthem and you sing it and you're going to be quiet.
00:47:18.000And for this minute and a half, whether you like it, don't like it, you think it's stupid, this minute and a half is not your minute.
00:47:25.000It's the National Anthems minute, and we're all going to shut the hell up.
00:47:29.000Just like at your wedding, when you were doing your vows, if I stood up and was like, you know, I want to make a comment right now, people would be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:48:00.000There are no more shared images because we are told that they are up for grabs.
00:48:05.000Let me throw this out there as well for grabs to kind of put put a pin on that is
00:48:08.000What and what you were saying earlier in?
00:48:10.000What do you think would happen if you went to Afghanistan right now and tried to set a Taliban flag on fire?
00:48:16.000You probably get gunned What do you think would happen if you went out there and you saw a Taliban Shura Council meeting and you walked up and started protesting?
00:48:28.000What do you think would happen if, after the Taliban took over, you took the Afghan national flag and started carrying it through the streets?
00:49:40.000Ian, there's gotta be something that unites a community so that when it comes to conflict, they say, we may disagree on X, Y, and Z, but because of the overarching umbrella, we are here for each other.
00:49:51.000America used to be, they would talk about diversity, the great melting pot.
00:49:55.000But American culture and values always superseded.
00:49:57.000So, when people talk about multiculturalism, there's two definitions.
00:50:01.000The left definition, well, I should say the original view of multiculturalism was, you can come and have Chinatown, you can have Ukrainian Village, Little Italy, Little Russia, whatever, but you followed the rules and the overarching culture of America.
00:50:16.000But maybe they spoke Ukrainian and wanted to live by their relatives, but they still were free speech, they still were Second Amendment, they still wanted to, you know, live in this great country.
00:50:25.000What started happening now is that multiculturalism has come to mean something different.
00:50:30.000That there are pockets that exist outside of Americans' values and cultures.
00:50:34.000When those start growing, a completely separate moral framework, there's nothing uniting two groups.
00:50:41.000You end up with two national anthems within the same space.
00:50:45.000Two objects cannot occupy the same space.
00:50:48.000So when you have people who are under an umbrella all saying, okay, you know, I like skateboarding, you like BMX, and he likes snowboarding, but we're all Americans, we believe in free speech, and we like watching, you know, Michael Jackson music videos or something.
00:51:01.000Now you have people who say, all of your movies are racist and bad, and you're not allowed to like them anymore.
00:51:06.000We're gonna sing a different national anthem.
00:51:08.000Okay, you have a completely different worldview, a completely different moral framework, and these things struggle to coexist with each other.
00:51:14.000That's the thing about the national anthem.
00:51:16.000I don't think it's necessarily that we, like, force people to undergo it.
00:51:20.000But it's more a sign that when we come to a point where we cannot agree the national anthem is something that we'll listen to and like and we're proud of, that half the people are like, play a different one.
00:51:31.000Now in one arena people are fighting a symbolic or ideological war.
00:51:36.000When they say they're gonna do two national anthems.
00:51:38.000Well, it's also, you know, I mean, you think of it, right?
00:51:40.000Any sporting event is already two teams and two groups of fans that are there in opposition,
00:51:48.000right? They're there to, I want to defeat you. You want to defeat me. Look, I'm from Philadelphia.
00:51:53.000So, you know, whenever, you know, whenever we were playing, you know,
00:51:55.000where the giants were in town, you know, it got pretty rough.
00:51:58.000Like we literally had a... I almost was attacked at a sports game.
00:52:01.000Yeah, we literally had Baltimore screaming for the Browns.
00:53:01.000Now you go into these, well I don't know how much the fans actually care about this stuff, but now you'll actually have, with the Olympics for instance, and the soccer and the kneeling and everything, you'll have some people being like, America is evil and racist.
00:53:12.000The other person will be like, I like America.
00:53:14.000I think it was a Daily Caller or Campus Reform.
00:53:17.000They went to Georgetown, and they were asking about this.
00:53:19.000They were asking about the Olympic team, and they went around interviewing students, like man-on-the-street interviews.
00:53:25.000Now of course there's editing and selection bias, etc.
00:53:29.000They went through student after student and they couldn't, they, every single one was getting up there saying, I just don't know how I can root for this team.
00:53:36.000I can root for individual, you know, I can root for Simone Biles.
00:53:39.000I can root for, you know, various, um, uh, different athletes that are in this, but for the United States, no, I couldn't.
00:53:45.000And if you notice, that's how they marketed the Olympic team this year.
00:53:47.000And what annoys me about that is that then those athletes, though, Megan Rapinoe, they flew over on American tax dollars, right?
00:53:54.000Like their team was funded by the taxpayers.
00:53:57.000So so they will take all of the good that comes with it.
00:54:00.000But then for just that, you don't have to say Megan Rapinoe, you love America.
00:54:04.000But for that one moment, as a courtesy to all of us who pay our damn taxes and allow this to happen for you.
00:55:46.000Was it Forrest who said that, it might have been Forrest, maybe it was you, that we're actually in this country having a debate as to whether this country should even exist?
00:56:08.000It's this is all for show by the way, right?
00:56:11.000What's going on on an economic level in this country is far beyond anything that we've seen before the divergence.
00:56:19.000of when you talk about class when you talk about a new aristocracy all of that's going on behind the scenes and yet they throw all these things at you in the foreground to make you forget about it but when you go back and you actually look at things that have happened in just the past 10 years or you know we're talking about the fall you know the fall of Kabul the end of Afghanistan right you know if you could start with 9-11 and then just go through everything that's happened in the past 20 years And then, you know, you combine that with the rest of the 20th century, right?
00:56:50.000And I know you guys were talking about that last night, that you really realize there's been a whole lot that's going on that actually matters, that we are being distracted about, that we are being told, you know, oh, they want you fighting, you know, amongst yourselves over the different national anthems.
00:57:06.000Because they know what they're doing behind the scenes.
00:59:35.000It was that, but also more than just that.
00:59:37.000And so when we look at these discussions like Afghanistan, the Middle East, rare earth minerals, these elements that China is gobbling up around the world, One Belt One Road, the petrodollar, you know, which obviously Bitcoin is a huge hedge against, right?
00:59:52.000All of these various discussions that go on, then we never seem to turn around and actually have the discussion of Well, why does all of that stuff matter so much?
01:00:04.000Why are we so beholden to all of these various things?
01:00:07.000Is this really the best way to run our country?
01:00:10.000What if, you know, and I say this on Twitter, and I've been saying it more since I got back from Alaska is what, you know, I don't want to go straight full Fortress America, right?
01:00:19.000You know, I want to have commerce, obviously want to have trade, but at the same time is Are we running our country in a way that's most beneficial for the American people who live here now, today?
01:00:31.000And are we developing our own resources for the benefit of our people versus putting ourselves at the mercy of these cartels like OPEC, which is a cartel, literally, Um, the actual Mexican cartels, et cetera, et cetera.
01:00:45.000And all of these other various things, because we've gotten ourselves head over heels for these international agreements, rather than just looking internally, seeing what we have here and helping the people of this country.
01:00:57.000What if we spent $2 trillion and deployed our military to Alaska to nation build in Alaska, the resources, the potential energy?
01:01:31.000The amount of copper we have mined over the past 5,000 years, we will need twice that If we are going to all drive electric vehicles by the year 2030.
01:02:40.000And the reason why we wanted to do this trip is because when you meet Alaskans who say,
01:02:43.000I would really like a job because there's nothing going on here.
01:02:46.000But if we open up this mine, I could maybe do something right.
01:02:50.000And we'll do the mine responsibly because we are Americans.
01:02:53.000So let me tell a story about how you actually get us to the mine, right?
01:02:55.000This is, this is like the, you know, we wake up and we're in Anchorage and he said, Jack, we're going to go see the, you know, and it's not a mine now.
01:04:29.000And then we fly about an hour, so we're going across two bays to get to this tiny, little, remote, middle-of-nowhere village that's just sitting there.
01:04:53.000And then the helicopter is what another 40 minutes or so.
01:04:56.000So now you're in the helicopter, you're going 40 minutes and you're just out and there's no roads, right?
01:05:00.000So aviation is actually huge in Alaska because it's so big.
01:05:04.000I think they have like one of the highest per capita of private aviation, pilots licenses and everything.
01:05:09.000Because you have to you just if you want to get from point A to point B, the roads are They're not great or they're not, they don't exist in many cases.
01:05:17.000And so you've got, so we're in the helicopter and a New Zealand pilot, actually, Kiwi.
01:07:57.000Yeah, Wyoming and Montana, how about that?
01:07:58.000The reason why we're doing it is not environmental reasons.
01:08:01.000That's the facade, is environmental reasons, environmental concerns.
01:08:04.000The reason why, which is why I started this organization and got into the business, because the people who own copper rights in other countries fund groups like the Sierra Club and the National Resources Defense Council and Earth First and Environmental Defense Fund.
01:08:20.000They fund these groups to say, we have to protect the earth, because they own the mineral rights in Chile Afghanistan, the Taliban is going to now sell them all to
01:08:53.000You are a puppet of a huge conglomerate that does not want 1.3 trillion dollars worth of copper on the market because it will affect commodities prices and so they want to keep it in places that have no OSHA have no Imagine a copper mine in another country.
01:09:48.000It turned out, you know, but we just we just pretend we it's not happening now
01:09:52.000We could mine cobalt in other countries, but it would be expensive
01:09:56.000So let's just use the slave children in the Congo because no one cares about the slave children in the Congo
01:10:02.000So when we want to open up a lithium mine in Alaska or a cobalt mine or a gold mine or a copper mine
01:10:07.000Rather than hurt prices. We hire a bunch of hippie kids to say protect the earth
01:10:12.000And we start a group called Moms Against Asthma and we fund all of these different people and they go and they bang and they cry and they talk about raping the earth.
01:10:33.000And plus, if you actually look at the history of Alaska.
01:10:35.000So Alaska was a territory for a very, very, very long time, since like post civil, almost 100 years, like post Civil War on out.
01:10:43.000And people didn't want to make it a state originally, because they were concerned that it wouldn't be self sustaining.
01:10:49.000Because they're thinking, hey, this whole area is just a wasteland.
01:10:51.000Why should we give them statehood, we're going to have to completely carry them, they're going to pay their way on the way this before, but then oil is discovered up there.
01:11:10.000There is a reason we are going to give you statehood because then that will give us access to the resources down here that we need in the lower 48.
01:11:17.000So the whole idea of Alaska was that you will be given statehood and that we will then be able to develop these resources for the betterment of the American people throughout the country.
01:11:58.000You know, and, um, she didn't come with us to the, uh, you know, the wasteland.
01:12:03.000And, um, but then he took us to the village and I got to tell you that of everything that we did, and we went to also went up to Prudhoe.
01:12:10.000We did some of the touristy stuff while we were up in Alaska.
01:12:13.000But this, this village that we went to the native village.
01:12:18.000I can't get some of the images out of my head and I can't get some of the stuff that, so we met with the leaders of the village and I can't get some of the stuff that they told me out of my head.
01:12:29.000The amount of poverty that they live under, 60% unemployment in these towns, right?
01:12:37.000Correct me if I'm wrong, but there wasn't even a doctor there.
01:13:38.000The government is kind of like, oh, I asked you this before the show, you guys, that they basically are ignoring these people because they're the descendants of natives.
01:13:47.000I don't think that's why, but that is also what's happening because they'll...
01:13:52.000Now, what's different though is, and Daniel, you know this better than me,
01:13:55.000they don't have the same type of, I guess I could say, agreements that were made between the U.S.
01:14:04.000government and the natives that you're more used to seeing in... Not that natives are treated well
01:15:21.000Here's a line that here's a line that somebody said and that we met up there and they were like sort of a lot of there's a lot of transplants to Alaska.
01:15:29.000You know, from the low 40 people go up there and I I can't wait to get back, honestly.
01:16:03.000And so I'm going to oppose every single effort to do anything that might disrupt my potential dream of being there someday.
01:16:13.000Because I have no idea what I'm talking about, but every time I've watched a, you know, a documentary or a reality TV show, they always show these.
01:16:22.000And there are some beautiful parts of Alaska that I do agree should be preserved, right?
01:16:27.000And we're not talking about those areas.
01:16:30.000We're not talking about those national parks.
01:16:31.000We are talking about these wastelands.
01:16:38.000Arctic deserts that have resources that are incredibly valuable to our people, number one, to our development, to our progress, and At additional benefit, we don't have to deal with China.
01:16:50.000We don't have to deal with the Taliban.
01:16:52.000We don't have to care about any of this stuff anymore because it's right there under our own soil.
01:16:56.000And we can do it with environmental stewardship.
01:16:57.000We can do it with respect for the earth and native communities.
01:17:02.000And we get the taxes and we get the jobs.
01:17:05.000I mean, the fact that the president was on the one hand closing down ANWR leases and then saying we want OPEC to produce more oil.
01:19:06.000You talk about food shortages, this is where it's going.
01:19:10.000One of the women said soda is cheaper than milk.
01:19:14.000And when you are seeing American moms put Sprite in a baby's bottle because they can't afford milk, we have a problem as a country.
01:19:23.000But we're saying, but you can't open a pebble mine because it's bad for the environment, but the local native women who are literally putting Sprite in their kids' bottles because they can't afford milk, that's not my problem.
01:19:33.000How far is this mine, what do you call it, pebble mine?
01:19:54.000I think there's potential for geothermal everywhere, quite frankly, but I'm not positive how Alaska's looked into it.
01:19:59.000I just looked up Iceland, and they're 64 degrees north, and Ileana is 60 degrees north.
01:20:08.000I look at Iceland and, you know, having been there and talked to a lot of the locals, they said that geothermal energy really revolutionized and pulled people out of poverty.
01:20:16.000It used to be a bunch of coal miners, just very, very poor.
01:20:20.000And then with geothermal, now they have greenhouses and they can produce more of their own food in their own country.
01:20:26.000I wonder if the issue is just Alaska is severely underdeveloped, not even in terms of a copper mine, just in terms of sustaining human life.
01:21:03.000And there's a problem we're facing as a country.
01:21:06.000And I know I've talked about this before on the podcast, and it really has come in full circle to a lot of what we've been talking about tonight.
01:21:10.000And you said get out of cities early on.
01:21:13.000All of our policies are focused on Living in big cities.
01:21:16.000You just said, what about revitalizing small town America, right?
01:21:19.000There's a reason why Akron came about.
01:21:21.000And you're like, well, it makes more sense to build brake pads in Mexico now.
01:21:25.000But for the people who are in Akron or whatever the industry was, that doesn't solve their problem.
01:21:30.000And what they're left with is poverty and unemployment and opioids.
01:21:34.000But all of our policies are forcing people to America.
01:21:38.000They're forcing people to learn to code, to learn modern... We don't want people to live in rural America.
01:21:45.000And rural America is dying as a consequence.
01:21:47.000We met this one small business owner, and not to get into all the details that we met, just a local guy who ran a business out in one of the more rural towns.
01:21:56.000And he was told, he said, oh, well, if you move to the city, we'll give you tax breaks,
01:22:00.000we'll give you incentives, we'll build you a road, we'll hook you up to power, it'll be great.
01:22:06.000And he said, no, I don't want to do that. I want to be, this is where I choose to run my business.
01:22:10.000I want to be here. And they say, okay, then you'll have to pay us to get your road,
01:22:16.000to get your waste, to get your electricity hooked up.
01:22:19.000You'll have to pay us to build all that infrastructure and put it out there, but we'll give you all the incentives if you come and move into the city.
01:22:26.000Look at the way we bend over backwards when we want to build a baseball stadium or a football stadium.
01:22:30.000Look at the incentives that Cuomo and de Blasio gave Amazon to move into Queens.
01:22:35.000Imagine if they had made that for Buffalo or Utica or one of those upstate New York cities that is dying.
01:22:42.000No one cares about those cities because what do they want you to do?
01:24:19.000And I know this because I have some solar gates on my farm.
01:24:22.000And when the snow caps cover, when we get good snow storms and it snows on the panels, if you don't go out and clear it off, and you let a whole day go by, and then you try to open the gate, the gate's not opening.
01:24:33.000I can't remember when I got my Tesla, but maybe it was before winter.
01:24:56.000But, you know, when I worked at O'Hare Airport for American Eagle Airlines, they had, you know the tugs that they used to cart around bags?
01:25:06.000They had electric ones, and they had gas ones.
01:25:09.000The electric ones barely worked in winter.
01:25:12.000Yeah, so you'd have to charge them up and you'd be driving.
01:25:29.000But again, these are just the policies that our government is forcing on us that when you question them, kind of like when you questioned COVID, you're ostracized and you're told to shut your damn mouth, right?
01:25:38.000We have policies that are saying we're all going to be driving electric vehicles, but our strategic brownouts and blackouts because of electric shortages, like they don't care about that.
01:25:48.000Well, what happens in California when whole neighborhoods are without their consent?
01:25:53.000They are shut off from the grid to protect the integrity of the grid, and you're plugging in your car, and you wake up, and now your car doesn't work, and you say, well, you're the one who forced me to get the damn electric car, and at the same time, you're turning off my power?
01:26:06.000But the future they want is where no one owns a car.
01:26:16.000You'll pull up an app, and you'll type in your address, and a self-driving car will pull up, and you'll get in, and it'll take you where you want to go, and you'll get out.
01:26:21.000I'm never getting in those on your list of on your list of approved, common approved locations, approved destinations.
01:26:34.000And then when and then when Nancy Pelosi wants to find out all my movements from April 2020 to January 2021, you should have been giving them ideas.
01:26:42.000But why can't just goes over to all of your Uber?
01:27:59.000That area that we're talking about right now in Pebble and Ileana, BlackRock is all over it.
01:28:05.000Oh, no, they have been because they were telling us they said they had a private plane that flew it was like a week before we were there and they had this private jet that came in and then there was another one that came a week just just a week ago like just last week and then I was getting tech because I'm in communication with some of the people we know share contact info and And they said BlackRock just came back again.
01:28:26.000Probably to make sure it never opens, because they probably own mining rights in other countries.
01:29:14.000The day after that happened, and we were going to go on our way up to Prudhoe, so that's all the way up the North Slope of Alaska.
01:29:23.000And the, you know, I wake up, I do my morning, I'm sure you do the same thing.
01:29:27.000You wake up, you do your morning news scan, right?
01:29:29.000You know, it's what's hitting, what's popping, what's out there, what I want to talk about, you know, for the timeline.
01:29:35.000And I see this one that hits and it's like, is this a simulation?
01:29:39.000Bezos, Bloomberg and Gates have all gone in and invested in an energy and mineral exploration firm, lithium and cobalt, lithium and cobalt in Greenland.
01:31:18.000I have a real loathing for him because he pushes the green envelope very, very hard.
01:31:23.000He's all about the green issue, but he is one of the largest investors, his hedge fund, in Indonesian, Chinese, Malaysian coal and mineral rights companies.
01:31:33.000And it's like, you have no problem if an eight-year-old girl in China works in a coal mine.
01:31:36.000What do you think BlackRock's investing in?
01:32:24.000If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, and go to TimCast.com to become a member so that you can get access to the exclusive member segment coming up around 11 or so PM.
01:32:34.000Before we throw that out, could I tell one quick other story just from Alaska?
01:35:52.000We're lower on the East Coast, so they're saying late this year.
01:35:55.000So we're a month or two away to getting Starlink.
01:35:59.000100 100 megabits up and down you can put it you're not supposed to do this But apparently you can put it on a car and so long as you're within the satellite range because there's you got to be under the yeah My internet is awful.
01:36:10.000So once it goes nationwide We'll be able to drive around the entire country and always have high-speed internet even right so you know the difference the difference is that you would be instead of so when you're when you're Traveling now, you're switching between towers as you're constantly going.
01:37:02.000Jurassic Josh says, when Saki said that no Americans are stranded in Kabul, does that mean she's lying, or did she mean that 15k Americans are just dead already?
01:37:11.000So it is a lie, and it's a lie because she's using weasel words, right?
01:37:17.000When she says they're not stranded, she's, you know, then trying to say, like, well, because we're there to help them.
01:38:02.000And just to throw this out there, I've actually been told that you're hearing a lot about these private groups that are trying to go over and get people out.
01:38:11.000Um, it's the State Department that's shutting down a lot of this stuff.
01:40:39.000You're not wrong, but that would be like the first week, and then all of the commando ex-military veterans who are anti-woke would laugh at their failed tactics and their inexperience, and they'd get swept out into the forest.
01:40:51.000But we're saying just America's gone, Canada's fine, England's fine, Australia... I think America's slow to the wokeness.
01:41:09.000And he says whenever I bring up violence, you'll have woke refugees away forward.
01:41:13.000He keeps reminding me that when it comes to violence, 1% of the people are extremely good at it.
01:41:20.000And that is who's going to take control if there's ever a vacuum.
01:41:23.000Look, I always say this and I'll say it again, you know, people want to get into that conversation about, oh, you know, country versus cities, what would happen?
01:41:30.000It's, it's, and, and yeah, I, there obviously are a lot of guns in, uh, in the country and rural areas.
01:41:37.000There's a lot of guns in cities too, right?
01:41:39.000And there's groups called gangs and you can't overlook that.
01:42:22.000So there was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq prior to the invasion and the toppling of Saddam's regime.
01:42:27.000Saddam's regime had been against them, you know, sort of like these radical Islamists.
01:42:33.000And then when you forced the Ba'ath party, and keep in mind, if you were a party member, you were out, right?
01:42:39.000You're out of government, you're out of the military, right?
01:42:40.000So you've got all these people now who are trying to figure out something to do, and they see the oppressors, they see the occupiers, they view the U.S.
01:42:48.000as this occupying force, and this gets into the failures of COIN, this gets into fourth-generation warfare, that, you know, if you look like the occupier, and this is, by the way, the same for the Taliban, right?
01:42:57.000you know, in a sense, and I'm just talking about the, the 4GW aspect of it, that if you are an 18 year old,
01:43:04.000right, an Afghan boy, and you are 18 today, you have no idea what 9-11 was.
01:43:09.000You just know that there has been some country that's occupying your land, that doesn't speak your
01:43:14.000language, that doesn't believe in your religion,
01:43:17.000that has all sorts of values and demands that they're making of you, that have no connection
01:43:25.000whatsoever to your cultural experience or the way that your people live.
01:43:30.000And they are walking around marching around with their guns telling you how to live.
01:43:37.000All right, DJM says, keep up the good work, Tim.
01:43:39.000Regarding COVID and vaccine mandates, what worries me is if vaccines and boosters are mandatory, a tyrannical government can put undesirables on no-vax lists.
01:43:52.000Well, it's not about vaccines, but what it is about is they call you valids and invalids.
01:43:59.000So if you are a valid, that means it's about eugenics, right?
01:44:03.000So it's you have good genes, you are a designer baby, your parents set you up for success, versus if you are a natural birth, or what they call a faith child or a love child, then you're considered an invalid and you are sent to, you're a second-class citizen.
01:44:21.000Because, well, I mean, you didn't even have your booster.
01:44:24.000Is there like a pilot who's lying or something?
01:44:27.000Well, so yeah, the whole crux of the story is Ethan Hawke.
01:44:30.000And he is, so he was a natural birth, but his brother was a designer baby.
01:44:37.000And then what he does is he becomes a, I think they call it a borrowed ladder is the phrase they use, where he actually steals the identity, not steals, but he takes the identity of someone else so that he's able to get into this, it's sort of like this space program.
01:44:54.000And then he has to compete physically and mentally and do everything at the level of one of the Valids.
01:45:00.000all while protecting his own genetic material because if anyone finds any DNA, etc, or if it all's in it, by the way,
01:45:05.000it's like what they're doing now when you try to steal someone's
01:45:07.000COVID passport to get into a bar in Manhattan. Exactly.
01:45:10.000That's a felony. Because what happens is that somebody, somebody who
01:45:14.000was an athlete in Jude Law's character gets into a car
01:45:17.000accident. Well, don't give away the whole story. It's just this
01:47:51.000Or often what they do is they'll, they'll change the translation a little bit because they think it contextually makes more sense to Americans.
01:47:57.000You know, we've got my, my wife, the linguist who's sitting over here, she's like, speaks eight languages, you know?
01:48:02.000So like, that's really the one you asked that question.
01:48:04.000And she just said that, yeah, like a lot, cause she watches a lot of things that where she speaks, she knows both languages.
01:48:11.000And she just says like, no, that's like.
01:48:24.000You know, so it was really, really interesting when there's like, there was one specific part and he was like, oh wow, they cut out like a whole sentence.
01:50:00.000Well, the officers, there's a big difference between saying, there's a 50-year-old woman with a firearm who accidentally crossed one of the borders.
01:50:08.000And someone being like, hey, they're censoring us, so I set up a website where we can speak uncensored.
01:50:13.000I want to keep this channel running so we can keep reminding people that these conversations will continue to happen in a place where we're safe and protected.
01:50:20.000So, big difference between resist and, well, I'm going to blindly enforce violations of the Constitution.
01:50:27.000But, you know, look, am I happy with YouTube censoring everybody?
01:50:39.000The big challenge with censorship is do we sacrifice the 99 things we need to say for the one thing that we need to say?
01:50:45.000And it really isn't easy to just say yes or no.
01:50:47.000If the solution right now is we can create a website, use YouTube as a main platform to show people that we're here and we're talking, and then let them know the website exists where we can do independent journalism, it works.
01:51:30.000You know to your point as well that you know there are other localities that are actively trying to recruit police officers that number one aren't enforcing stuff like this and number two aren't going to persecute you the way they persecute like a Derek Chauvin for doing your job and following the guidelines that are set up before you.
01:51:51.000And you could then have the option of going to one of those where A, you're going to be treated better and B, you're probably not going to be asked to enforce these kinds of things.
01:52:01.000Well, we got a super chat from Adam Wayne.
01:52:03.000So I'm not saying, by the way, you know, for all the cops that, you know, follow me, I get it.
01:52:36.000In this instance, Maybe to the cops out there, and a lot of them have already done this, so I'm not trying to disrespect literally every person who's a cop.
01:52:43.000I'm saying that there are cops who do these things.
01:52:45.000If you are a cop and they say, hey, violate the Constitution, just go, I'm not going to do it.
01:52:49.000And then be like, well, then, you know, fire me or, you know, go to your union or resist.
01:52:55.000And then if they boot you, they boot you.
01:52:59.000Perhaps they should just refuse unlawful or unconstitutional orders as much as, I won't quit YouTube, but I'll create a place where we can continue to do the right thing.
01:53:08.000If YouTube bans me, we've got an alternative and we'll accept that.
01:53:12.000And if you get fired because you refuse to violate the law or the constitution, you know, well then you stood up for what you believed in.
01:53:18.000I've had people that I used to serve with in the intel community that have come up to me since I left and they've said, Jack, you know, What you do now is what you were meant to do.
01:53:31.000And we love every minute of serving with you, but what you're doing now is, you know, everybody thought I was crazy.
01:53:39.000Like you should have seen the looks I got when I was like, I'm putting papers.
01:56:23.000I saw one they had like a it was like a meme but it was like a you know those Facebook marketplaces and like 80 million dollars one used helicopter.
01:56:34.000Could you imagine it's like, we've had to abandon our Air Force base because American citizens have overrun it, I guess?
01:56:39.000We're going to ask them nicely to not?
01:56:42.000Yeah, and the State Department earlier, they made some comment like, well, they do have a lot of that equipment, but you know, they'll have a hard time getting parts.
01:56:49.000They'll have a hard time keeping it up.
01:56:51.000And someone was like, Iran still uses the equipment they stole in 1979.
01:56:55.000Iran still uses the Epoch Phantom IIs.
01:57:10.000Brian Knowles says, I understand your argument, Tim, but these restaurants and mom-and-pop shops in New York have been crippled for over a year.
01:57:16.000Their businesses are hanging on by a thread and probably near bankruptcy.
01:57:40.000If you do that... Nonviolent civil disobedience is like an American pastime.
01:57:45.000Yeah, and I'm saying this lightly, I realize I'm not a restaurant owner, but I mean, how many bars did I go into starting at 15 that they never carded me once?
01:57:54.000You know, now all of a sudden it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we need to see your ID.
01:57:58.000It's like, you know, like, there are a lot of laws that you kind of turn a blind eye to in that industry.
01:58:05.000So no, I'm not going to stop people at the door and say, I'm sorry, I need to get your... Everyone here vaccinated?
01:58:17.000Well, and actually what you just said, that nonviolent civil disobedience, right, this is, you know, I say this as a Catholic, and a lot of people get this part of the Bible wrong when someone slaps you, turn the other cheek, right?
01:58:29.000Jesus isn't saying that, oh, you should just submit and be tolerant and let people do whatever they want.
01:58:34.000No, he's talking about defiance, right?
01:58:36.000It's that defiance of, okay, you've slapped me.
01:58:41.000I've heard that's because the Romans would use one hand to wipe their butt, and so they didn't touch people with that?
01:58:47.000Not the Romans, but the people of the region.
01:58:50.000So if you hit them with one hand, it was natural to strike someone with one hand, you'd turn the other cheek so that they had to touch you with the other hand?
01:59:03.000But the, the idea being that then they would have to strike you with the other hand.
01:59:07.000So that's an insult to them because you would have had to lower, because if you were not someone of the same social status, then I wouldn't be able to treat you as someone of the same social status because you're just someone I can slap around.
01:59:20.000Steven Schalk says, Tim, geothermal works great in Iceland because it's a volcanic island and is a dividing point for tectonic plates, so the crust is thinner there.
02:00:51.000I don't know if he ever picked up a rifle and killed anyone, but he stayed positive and wrote documents that would allow us, like, we're working on the Fediverse, and I know that we're getting closer to completion.
02:01:00.000This can, like, He was kind of like the old, you know, the wise old man of the group at the time.
02:03:28.000Oh, because I actually, somebody was telling me, I just got in the comments, that they had ordered some towels and they were having, um, they hadn't come yet.
02:03:34.000Big ol' box came and I was like, awesome.
