A new story published by The Intercept may be one of the biggest stories of our lives. According to new documents released by the Intercept, along with documents revealed through a lawsuit filed by the Missouri Attorney General, we now have hard proof that executives at big tech companies were colluding with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI to manufacture consent, manipulate public opinion, censor certain information deemed hurtful to U.S. financial institutions, and influence the elections in the way they wanted.
00:00:31.000Well, it is one of the biggest stories in the world.
00:00:32.000It may be one of the biggest stories in the history of the United States.
00:00:36.000According to new documents released by The Intercept, along with documents revealed through a lawsuit filed by the Missouri Attorney General, we now have hard proof that executives at big tech companies were colluding with DHS and the FBI to manufacture consent, manipulate public opinion, censor certain information that was deemed hurtful to U.S.
00:01:00.000financial institutions, and influence the elections in the way they wanted.
00:01:06.000Now I know that most of us knew this was happening because we've seen so many grains of sand forming that heat.
00:01:11.000But now we actually have leaked text messages where you can see the DHS talking with Microsoft and the Microsoft exec saying we need to get more companies on board with government.
00:01:42.000And a week before the election, no less.
00:01:44.000I kind of believe that this leak was intentional because Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter meant that he is sitting on a trove of evidence.
00:01:50.000And it was only a matter of time before he got it.
00:01:52.000And so they're basically thinking, we better get in front of this one.
00:01:56.000It was reported the Biden administration was seeking to have a national security review of the Twitter sale to Elon and then ultimately didn't.
00:02:03.000And I wonder if that was because they knew something bad was going to happen.
00:02:07.000The information would be released and now it is.
00:02:10.000This is a direct violation of the Constitution.
00:02:13.000And that's probably putting it lightly.
00:02:15.000Some are calling it treason and sedition, considering you've got elements of the government actively colluding with people like Vijay Agade to manipulate information, to censor people, to violate their rights, and manipulate our elections.
00:02:45.000We're gonna talk about that, plus we have another really ridiculous and insane story about Paul Pelosi and the conspiracy theories around what really went down with his house, because you either believe that a QAnon cultist tried to murder Nancy Pelosi but only found Paul, or you think that a leftist Black Lives Matter flag-waving male prostitute was having a good time with Paul Pelosi and I think both stories are a bit over the top, to be completely honest.
00:03:10.000I think we can break down, if you're really looking for what happened, you can come up with some reasonable explanations.
00:03:17.000But all that matters, we need the information, we need the evidence, we need the surveillance footage, so we'll get into that.

00:06:09.000I did have a Halloween costume, but it was a bit inappropriate for this show.
00:06:13.000If you want to see it, you can on my Twitter or Instagram, at LukeWeAreChanged, but I'm just wearing, you know, just a regular Jojo Biden t-shirt.
00:06:20.000If you get the reference, you know exactly what's going on.
00:06:58.000But we're going to have that up tomorrow on the Castcastle vlog showing you all of the ridiculously offensive, like everybody just decided to be offensive.
00:07:18.000Leaked documents outline Homeland Security's plans to police disinformation.
00:07:22.000I'm kind of surprised they put it that lightly.
00:07:25.000Let me show you this Twitter thread from Lee Fang, one of the writers on this article.
00:07:29.000He says, Docs show Facebook and Twitter closely collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security and FBI to police disinfo.
00:07:37.000Plans to expand censorship on topics like withdrawal from Afghanistan, origins of COVID, Info that undermines trust in financial institutions.
00:07:46.000FBI agent Laura Demlow was in communication with Facebook that led to the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 over the false allegation that it was disinformation.
00:07:56.000This year, she met with Twitter DHS to stress, quote, we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.
00:08:04.000Facebook and Twitter created special portals for government to rapidly request takedowns of content.
00:08:11.000The portal, along with the NGO partners, used to censor a wide range of content, including obvious parody accounts and content disagreeing with government pandemic policy.
00:08:22.000The government doesn't like that your dissenting was colluding with communications platforms, private collusion, literal conspiracy, to silence you for your dissent.
00:08:33.000Check this out, there's text messages right here.
00:08:35.000The emails and documents show close collaboration between DHS and private sector.
00:08:40.000Twitter's Vijaya Gade, fired by Elon Musk last week, met monthly with DHS to discuss censorship plans.
00:08:47.000Microsoft exec texted DHS, quote, platforms have to get comfortable with government.
00:08:54.000He says, how does DHS justify its evolving mission from countering foreign terror groups to policing domestic disinfo on social media?
00:09:02.000Leaked planning docs show the agency argues false information is a source of radicalization and violence.
00:09:07.000And of course, I really want you to see this.
00:09:10.000This right here is the Facebook URL for the Facebook, what is this, the portal is for onboarded partner requests pertaining to content issues on Facebook and Instagram.
00:09:20.000If you are an onboarded partner, Please put in your request through this portal.
00:09:53.000And Twitter executives, Facebook, Microsoft were meeting with the DHS to police what they deem as disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation.
00:10:05.000This is the government colluding with big tech social media in order to make sure that they have all the power, all the influence, and anyone daring to just question them.
00:10:14.000Not just about racial justice issues, as you mentioned here, but the topics here that they specifically decided to intervene on make them look bad.
00:10:34.000They clearly show something that the government got wrong.
00:10:39.000They clearly led people down a wrong pathway.
00:10:42.000They clearly screwed the people of Afghanistan over.
00:10:45.000They clearly screwed all the soldiers there.
00:10:47.000But they wanted to control the narrative so they could still look like they did something good when they obviously did something horrible.
00:10:54.000And when you're doing that, when you're creating godlike power and authority to silence people, to censor people, and to control narratives, we're talking about huge amounts of power that is almost virtually impossible to hold anyone accountable to.
00:11:10.000I'm trying to elevate my perception to the level of global governance.
00:11:14.000Like, if I was in control of American military, and there's like a world, because like, for me, I'm an American citizen, American politics, and the Constitution, that's key.
00:11:23.000If you violate the Constitution, you're messing up.
00:11:25.000But then you elevate to the next level of like, I'm now in control of the military.
00:11:29.000And they interned Japanese people during World War Two, though they will violate the Constitution in times of great stress, to make sure that we all survive.
00:11:53.000Because when you look at all the censorship efforts that they were doing throughout the years, it all made sense that this was organized not for the benefit of big tech social media, but for the benefit of the people in charge, in power.
00:12:07.000To me it's, I feel sorry for those who still believe we have a truly private sector because really this is the government, they're outsourcing, you know, their dirty work to these giant tech corporations.
00:12:20.000And, you know, we saw it during COVID, you know, we saw it, I think it really started during the 2016 elections, you know, because Trump, I mean, Trump won in large part, in my opinion, due to his influence on social media.
00:12:31.000He was able to You know, go around the corporate legacy media, you know, go around that distorting prism of their influence and go directly to the people.
00:12:43.000And they kind of had this Rubicon, this never again moment.
00:12:45.000We're not going to let this happen again.
00:12:47.000You know, we can't let these America first populist types go around our gatekeeping mechanism and go straight to the voters.
00:12:55.000And so that's where it started, in my opinion.
00:12:57.000I'm sure it happened before that, but 2016 was kind of the collective never again moment.
00:13:02.000And I think it was accelerated through Trump's administration.
00:13:07.000They took it exponentially higher during COVID, during 2020.
00:13:11.000And it's just, it's really sad because there's so many politicians and people in the GOP Our leaders, who are supposed to be representing us at the highest level, who are still fighting the same battle they were pretending to fight back in the 80s.
00:13:29.000It was a give and take on corporate tax rates, and we're the party of small government, and we're the party of freedom of enterprise.
00:13:40.000And so now we're seeing this terrifying union of big government tyranny And outsourced to these big tech corporations.
00:13:50.000And nothing can be more subversive to liberty.
00:13:54.000Until we recognize that, until we as a people, and we as a Republican Party, those on the right, until we just come to grips with that new reality, we're never going to be able to even, much less defeat it, even fight back against it.
00:14:10.000They say that the stepped-up counter-disinformation effort began in 2018 following high-profile hacking incidents of U.S.
00:14:16.000firms when Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, forming a new wing of DHS.
00:14:31.000He probably had some advisor just be like, this is good, it's gonna protect our infrastructure, and he was like, makes sense to me, and he signed off on it.
00:14:37.000Little did he know that all of a sudden now, damning information that was bad about, say, Joe Biden's family would be suppressed because the FBI was going to Facebook and being like, look out for this.
00:14:46.000Yes, and not only that, but this is specifically referencing this story by The Intercept, and these leaked documents are specifically mentioning the Hunter Biden story, which they even named the FBI agent in this story that went to Facebook and said, hey, this is disinformation, you got to take this down, when the FBI knew that they were lying through their teeth after their interview with Tony Bobulinski.
00:15:08.000They knew that the Hunter Biden story was legit, it wasn't Russian disinformation, but Trump signed into law what essentially Was a major component and part of him getting kicked out of office, which is absolutely crazy.
00:15:20.000And not only that, but a lot of the nonsense that the American people had to go through within the last two and a half to three years when it came to COVID, the lockdowns, small businesses being shut down.
00:15:29.000They were only able to get away with it because they dominated the conversation.
00:15:33.000Anyone speaking out against them would be censored, would be kicked offline.
00:15:37.000Doctors would be kicked out of medical boards, would have their licenses taken away for even questioning what was going on here, and now we're finding out that was what the DOJ and the FBI were making sure was happening, because now we're finding out that they were at the head of making a lot of these decisions, pushing for censorship, pushing for disinformation, in an alleged fight against fighting it, but in reality they were really pushing it.
00:16:21.000To be specific, And to be very careful, Mark Zuckerberg, maybe the one time that the FBI didn't have to go through this portal and they were talking to Mark on the phone, maybe he was referring to some very specific moment and that's how it went down.
00:16:37.000You're not going to convince me when Facebook has an active portal for government takedown requests that They went to Mark and said, there may be a story.
00:16:56.000And when you look at the story and specifically the tweets, they, they mentioned an FBI agents, Laura, uh, Delma, uh, uh, Delmo low, uh, Dem, Demlo was at Demlo and specifically referencing the Hunter Biden story to the FBI.
00:17:47.000And I just don't hear enough from people who are in politics on our side, on the right, kind of the old right, as I say, who truly grasp that.
00:17:56.000There's no nipping around the edges of the FBI.
00:18:00.000There's no nipping around the edges of the DOJ.
00:18:01.000There's no nipping around the edges of DHS.
00:18:05.000Because they are in cahoots with permanent Washington, with the left-wing media, with big tech.
00:18:11.000And until we understand the power of that union, we can't defeat it.
00:18:14.000Yeah, you gotta build systems that are indiscernible, that are decentralized, that are mesh networked, that aren't relying on centralized services, that run under the radar.
00:18:23.000Because I don't think you can compete with global government military force.
00:18:27.000You mean like the LavaBit email servers, Ian?
00:18:29.000that specifically where it were started that Edward Snowden was using where the NSA came to and gave them an official
00:18:35.000national security letter saying shut up give us all your information or you're going to jail the love a bit story
00:18:41.000actually interviewed the founder a few years ago Lidar Levinson absolutely stood up to some crazy insanity when it came to
00:18:48.000the federal government coming after him trying to of course spy on whistleblowers and he leaked that story and he
00:18:55.000actually safeguarded a lot of very important data and information.
00:18:58.000This is Lava Bit is an open source encrypted web mail service founded in 2004 and it was 2013 the government
00:19:06.000ordered it to turn over its SSL private keys so that then they were yeah I think the service should not be holding on
00:19:11.000to the private keys that those should be the only the sender and receiver should have those keys that's a big part of it.
00:19:16.000I want to say did I call it or did I call it?
00:19:24.000In a March meeting, Laura Demlow, an FBI official, warned the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S.
00:19:41.000Demlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter, And JP Morgan Chase stressed that we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.
00:19:54.000That the reason Elon tried backing out is because they showed him confidential information saying we have these arrangements with the federal government and you can't disclose it and you now have to buy it.
00:20:05.000And Elon probably was like, no way dude, no way.
00:20:10.000But what I did get right was that Twitter was actively working with the government on what they deemed to be national security issues, albeit bunk ones.
00:20:17.000What may have happened now, because also I won't say I got 100% correct, what may have happened after this, Elon Musk buys Twitter.
00:20:39.000The Obama, I'm sorry, the Biden, well, the Biden administration panics.
00:20:45.000They leaked this information because they know Elon is now sitting on a trove of evidence and he probably will publish it or it will get leaked and they can't control it anymore.
00:20:53.000He knows how the federal government manipulated the public landscape, manipulated the elections, manipulated national tragedies, manipulated what happened in Afghanistan, manipulated what happened with COVID.
00:21:05.000That's a treasure trove of information that he has as his fingertips right now that could show us the direct manipulation by government, the direct manipulation and interference of government when it came to, of course, destroying free speech in this country.
00:21:20.000And again, I've been screaming about this for years, and everyone always was saying, but it's a private company, it's a private company.
00:21:24.000I still remember, you know, even three years ago, being on the show, and then there was a guest saying, but there's a private company, they get to do what they want.
00:21:30.000And I was like, they're not a private company.
00:21:56.000We hear from the left, the Democrats, they're like, this election could be the death of democracy.
00:22:02.000If the Republicans win, the republic is over, whatever.
00:22:06.000Well, they don't say republic, they say the death of democracy.
00:22:08.000I genuinely believe, and this story got exposed, that this election very well may be a battle for the soul of the republic, to which I don't even know if Republicans can save it, to be completely honest.
00:22:21.000But certainly Democrats are going to rip it to shreds.
00:22:24.000And the last line of defense is going to be some of these MAGA Republicans who might actually push back against this.
00:22:56.000Trump signed the CISA Act around 2018 with Democrats in control.
00:23:02.000If they retain control of Congress, these programs will manipulate and subvert public discourse, manufacture consent, and interfere with our elections.
00:23:11.000If there is not an effort in any way, I'm not saying Republicans are guaranteed to do anything about it, but they're certainly the only ones who are able to.
00:23:19.000If the Democrats win, this is going to ramp up tenfold and then that's it.
00:23:24.000But hold on, I want to kind of question that a little bit because it was Donald Trump who put this into place, right?
00:23:29.000And if you're a Republican coming into power, right?
00:23:32.000That's like the Ring of Sauron right here.
00:23:34.000You have the ability to navigate and control speech online.
00:23:39.000You have the possibility to fortify elections.
00:23:42.000Why would Republicans give out that power?
00:24:14.000So what's going to be different about it this time?
00:24:16.000You know, if we take the House, you know, we'll have Kevin McCarthy as the Speaker.
00:24:20.000If we take the Senate, we'll have Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader.
00:24:23.000And I'm not saying it's a good thing to have the Democrats in full control for two more years, but I just want to hear how this is going to be different this time.
00:24:31.000And what frustrates me to no end is we don't treat our voters with respect.
00:24:36.000We don't treat the right-leaning people in this country, our constituents, we don't have the humility to look them in the eye and say, hey, what we've been doing has been failing and we're going to try something different.
00:24:47.000I don't see them doing anything different.
00:25:09.000It's two heads of the same snake at the end of the day.
00:25:12.000We also have to understand our public opinion matters on this.
00:25:16.000What we say, what we think, how we respond to this story, how we share this story absolutely matters.
00:25:20.000And I say that specifically because, if you remember, not so long ago, The federal government tried to pass the disinformation government board and they had a disinformation czar that they were putting forward.
00:25:30.000Essentially what they were trying to do is codify what they were doing in secret.
00:25:34.000And then the wide response to that was, hell no!
00:26:12.000If an individual is good, we should support them.
00:26:14.000If an individual sucks and is a corporatist and is a banker and is a little sellout status chill that will screw you over, don't support that person. I don't think that the solution
00:26:24.000is in the government, though I think that as always in the United States it comes
00:26:28.000from the public, the private sector, the people that are willing to build
00:26:31.000systems that adhere to the U.S. Constitution.
00:26:33.000The government's there to protect us if things go wrong.
00:26:35.000And I think social media in general, you're never going to be able to ask it, stop manipulating,
00:26:47.000So that's one kind of flaw in the United States' freedom and democracy.
00:26:51.000It lets people come in and just twist it around and say whatever they want and spread communism and spread authoritarianism and so... That's... Oh, I think that... Anyway, continue.
00:27:03.000Actually, one of the big conspiracy theories of history is that The British didn't actually surrender the Revolutionary War.
00:27:10.000They realized that we were attempting to build a government of, for, and by the people.
00:27:14.000And they said, wait, we can finance control of the colonies.
00:27:50.000And then they put them on the $20 bill.
00:27:52.000But you're talking about something here that's very important here, because this DHS board, this information board, was also working to, of course, make sure that information wasn't being released that would undermine our financial institutions inside of the United States, and trust in the financial institutions that literally have bankrupted this country.
00:28:11.000It's not a recession, it's a robbery, what's happening right now with the banks and what they've done to the American public.
00:28:30.000I'm one of, like, make a better system so that we can transition away from the Federal Reserve into, like, a decentralized system of banking.
00:28:36.000The great thing about the Federal Reserve is if someone robs it and takes your money, they'll cover it.
00:28:40.000FDIC insurance, like, if you lose your bank card, you can go get another one.
00:28:45.000With crypto, if you lose your keys, all your crypto's gone forever.
00:29:12.000But who's going to be who would be in control of the crypto wallets?
00:29:15.000Who would be there to be like, I'll make sure I'll be the one that will hold your keys for you.
00:29:18.000I think anything's better right now than the current system we have now where the government literally prints money and just hands it to the richest people in the world.
00:29:25.000I think that specifically the people who promote the ESG score and use that kind of leverage and power in order to push woke nonsense onto people.
00:29:54.000Everybody thinks that they have all the answers.
00:29:56.000And actually, interestingly, it tends to be that the only answers come from decentralization.
00:30:00.000When everyone is actually arguing and then the ideas that make the most sense rise to the top and then end up succeeding.
00:30:07.000There's like value to like minimal centralization, like nodes of centralization all over the place, proliferative, you know, like you don't want more than 60 people involved in a node or something like that.
00:30:16.000But Tim, what you're mentioning right now is extremely important and exactly what the Department of Homeland Security is preventing.
00:30:22.000They're preventing the best ideas from going out there.
00:30:26.000They're preventing a lot of this nonsense to be stopped in our lives.
00:30:30.000The pain and suffering that a lot of people are going through is because of the disinformation out there that they are spewing actively, and they are not fighting it.
00:30:37.000They are making sure that they are codifying their agenda, their narrative, which goes against you and everyone else.
00:30:42.000That's a great point, because that was the original concept of our government, was a very decentralized system with very little power vested in a central government.
00:30:52.000The states could be the incubators of liberty, as I think one of the founders said.
00:30:56.000But of course, the powers that be, they understand that when people are presented with the truth, with an opposing narrative, they're attracted to it.
00:31:05.000It gets them thinking, and it reduces their own power.
00:32:02.000Yeah, Robert Reich immediately, with the Elon thing, like, lit him on fire, like, not, but just set him off, like, Rob, All of a sudden now he's screaming about Elon being an oligarch and we need to break it up.
00:32:15.000Wait until they find out about TikTok in China.
00:32:17.000Wait until they find out about Facebook and, you know, the Department of Homeland Security is what we just found out about right now.
00:32:24.000Again, this is clearly an attempt to punish Elon Musk as he is presenting an opportunity to fight back against all of this nonsense and provide the best ideas to rise to the top.
00:32:34.000That's an idea that's scaring the crap out of the individuals who have a monopoly on ignorance and violence.
00:33:44.000And the reason why I bring up those magic words is because when the Democrats overlook Or defend things like foreign influence in our social media platforms when it favors them, and then seek to weaponize the US government or the DOJ when all of a sudden that power shifts.
00:34:07.000It's not possible for this country to exist if one political party is actively weaponizing law enforcement and the weight of the federal government to target their political rivals, and that's the only way it ever goes.
00:34:19.000Eventually, confidence shatters, and it doesn't have to be Civil War-like people charging at each other.
00:34:24.000That's not how the first Civil War started.
00:34:27.000Would you consider what Gandhi did with India, a civil war, when they just stopped saying, sorry Britain, passive disobedience, we're not following anymore?
00:34:37.000My beef with the national divorce crowd, I'm open to that concept, but I think that fundamentally misunderstands the nature of the radical left.
00:34:46.000They're never going to let red states just go off and do their own thing.
00:34:50.000The left, they get off on rubbing your nose in it.
00:34:56.000As we're seeing now, just look at the, one example out of many, look at the way that
00:35:04.000the gay pride movement has evolved over the past 20, 30, 40 years.
00:35:10.000You know, it started as, you know, just, you know, do what you want in your own bedroom, to civil unions, to gay marriage, to the pride movement, to transgender, to grooming children.
00:35:21.000It's about rubbing it in the faces of their political enemies.
00:35:25.000And so I just, I think that the concept that we're going to have this very civil national divorce, I think that's a bit naive.
00:35:32.000Nothing civil, but at the same time, I agree with your point.
00:35:36.000There are statists that love to tell people what to do.
00:35:39.000But when you have a centralized, big, federal, bureaucratic government, you have a vessel to allow them to do that.
00:35:45.000And I think we're seeing the results of that.
00:35:46.000And I think we're seeing such divisiveness.
00:35:50.000So many people fighting each other because of other people pushing their ideas onto other individuals.
00:35:55.000That's why I think a decentralization, a moving away from a big federal government and enforcing state governments could be something like a peaceful divorce that could eventually happen in a way where it's not really a divorce, but at the same time, we don't have other people forcing ideas onto other people because there's no vessel in order to do it adequately.
00:36:14.000And that's why I would always argue, because I am for a peaceful divorce, but a peaceful divorce in a way that doesn't rely on the federal government telling states what to do, states deciding for themselves what they should be doing themselves.
00:36:53.000This is, by the way, the same Saudi prince that has an investment with tens of millions of dollars with Bill Gates.
00:36:59.000Why isn't Bill Gates being investigated by the federal government with his Saudi Arabian collusion, especially with his Chinese collusion, especially with his energy companies, especially with his nuclear companies and his technology that's helping the Chinese build new weapons?
00:37:14.000Why isn't he being investigated for that?
00:37:29.000I mean, if you want to outlaw all foreign investment in American companies, yeah, let's have that conversation.
00:37:35.000But it's the selective enforcement that Senator Murphy, I mean, obviously they're just, they're trying to, you know, attack a political enemy.
00:37:40.000As I see, Musk is now a political enemy of the left.
00:37:43.000Do you think it would be righteous to ask the Saudi prince to recuse himself from the stock holdings of the American companies?
00:37:50.000I mean, in general, you think that's a wise move?
00:37:52.000He's invested in a lot of things in the United States, by the way.
00:37:55.000And I mean, are we going to single out this one guy?
00:37:58.000I don't want to single out this one guy.
00:38:00.000I mean, there is no universe in which the Chinese Communist Party should have any stake in American companies, period.
00:38:05.000American farmland, American companies, like we should treat them the way we used to treat the USSR during the Cold War.
00:38:11.000And before that, there was essentially zero trade relationship between the American government and the American marketplace and the Soviet marketplace.
00:38:18.000I think there could be some trade, but probably a lot of sanctions.
00:38:32.000You've got the interventionist versus anti-interventionist, and the lightest form of it is still like, hey, you're doing a thing we don't like, so we're going to sanction you.
00:38:38.000But I'm telling you, in Arkansas, you know, like rural, deep red, you know, God's country, Arkansas, we have a lot of Chinese-owned land in our state.
00:38:45.000We have a lot of Chinese oligarchs and Chinese government investment in our state.
00:38:52.000We had a Chinese native who was a professor at the University of Arkansas who was convicted of espionage on behalf of the CCP.
00:39:00.000I mean, it's the University of Arkansas.
00:39:02.000Let me ask you, why should any American citizen have to compete with the finances of Chinese oligarchs?
00:39:09.000If you're in Arkansas, if you're in any state, and you want to buy a plot of land to start a business, raise a family, why are you competing in the market with a foreign country?
00:39:16.000I mean, that shouldn't even be a debate.
00:39:42.000If they wanted to create animosity towards the Chinese, which right now I don't think they want to create animosity towards the Chinese.
00:39:47.000It seems like they're very in cahoots that they want to sell Taiwan to the Chinese.
00:39:51.000Which, by the way, you could always sell Eastern Ukraine to the Russians if you really want to go deep and just kind of peacefully sell out.
00:40:12.000There's still a question of whether or not this Saudi prince is saying to Elon, like, I gave you some of this money, so I expect favor, something like that.
00:40:19.000So the funny thing is, look, I don't trust this Democrat to actually have a legitimate investigation, but I think we should know exactly to what degree this Saudi Prince has influence on Twitter.
00:40:28.000Did Elon not pay the $44 billion then?
00:40:31.000He got debt financing, he had other stuff.
00:40:34.000So this Saudi Prince had this nearly $2 billion piece of Twitter.
00:40:38.000He said, hold on to that, but give me control of the company.
00:41:11.000I don't I don't think it's I don't think it's wise to to have foreign nationals if they can't run for office to own our social networks that we use probably more than Especially how we've just demonstrated they're not even free enterprise private companies anyway.
00:41:50.000We have government intervention with tax incentives, with subsidies, with them giving money from the poorest people and giving it to the biggest corporations that pay off the politicians.
00:42:00.000So we don't have a free market system.
00:42:02.000If we did, I would think that this system would, of course, fix itself naturally with incentives and better business practices and better competition, but we don't have any of that.
00:42:11.000So I think before making any laws, first we've got to get the government out of business, and then business will fix itself.
00:42:30.000They call it free market to appease the masses, and they're like, don't worry, it's free, but when you realize what's happening, it's controlled by the... Well, the same with communism, right?
00:42:39.000The idea of a free market is... I don't think anyone... If you believe in a utopian view of things, you're probably wrong.
00:42:44.000But in the general sense of a free market, it means that someone from the lowest class can find a way to make money, trade, and eventually become the upper echelon and gain significant control over that system.
00:42:58.000As opposed to like a centralized market, yeah, or caste system.
00:43:02.000Yeah, whenever you have the government not involved in private business, businesses expand, but also quality of life expands.
00:43:08.000But whenever the government centralizes a lot of the stuff, as we've seen throughout history, this is not always the case, but correlation historically says less government, more economic freedom, more prosperity for human beings.
00:43:20.000And then the opposite of that is also true historically.
00:43:22.000Because the free market, really all it does is just harness human nature.
00:43:46.000But they're not gaining a free market.
00:43:47.000They're going to the government and be like, we want to make sure we have no liability when we give you this product.
00:43:52.000We want to make sure that no one could sue us if we hurt people when you help us, promote for us, and do our PR in making sure people take our product.
00:44:04.000It would originate with two guys selling apples and they're like, we're going to compete.
00:44:08.000Whoever wants to buy my apples at a cheaper price will do this.
00:44:10.000Then eventually the two apple sellers get together and they collude and they're like, yo, let's set the price of apples.
00:44:15.000So then the government comes in and they're like, no, we need a free market.
00:44:17.000We're going to make sure no one violates the law.
00:44:20.000And then the government sets the laws and sits there as an arbiter.
00:44:23.000Except now what you're saying, they're like giving people subsidies.
00:44:26.000Not just that, the federal government is selling a product For the benefit of Big Pharma, selling it, shilling it, and then using their monopoly of violence in a way to get protection no matter what happens in this scenario.
00:44:43.000Guys, I just want to give a shout-out, considering the episode and the subject matter, to all of the feds who are watching.
00:44:50.000And feel free to, you know, set the record straight if this stuff is not correct or whatever, you know, you guys can send emails and send information.
00:44:59.000Project Veritas, I'm sure, would be really interested to hear what's really going on behind the scenes, so thanks for watching.
00:45:03.000I bet a lot of people are out of control in their heads, like, what do we do?
00:45:07.000I want to preserve American constitutionalism.
00:45:09.000We are globalizing, and it's happening like a snowball, and they're like, what do we do?
00:45:13.000Do I just go along with what's already been in place?
00:45:16.000Like, are we Coagulating with the Chinese, becoming an uber-state?
00:45:20.000They don't believe in the Constitution.
00:45:23.000They believe that this country was founded not in 1776, but in 1619.
00:45:28.000They believe a whole bunch of insane historical manipulations, lies, misinterpretations to justify their weird cult.
00:45:36.000So when they're like, in the meeting report from the story from The Intercept, they're saying things like, people lack critical thinking skills these days, and that's a problem.
00:45:46.000It's funny, because these people writing it are the example of those who lack critical thinking skills.
00:45:52.000Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what the next step in your actions is?
00:45:56.000Like, you do a thing, what happens next?
00:46:18.000I always forget who the guy is, but he said something like, if the idea is that people aren't smart enough to govern themselves, so a smarter person needs to control them, what makes that person smarter than anybody else?
00:46:31.000I mean, he said, I'm butchering it, but he essentially said, I don't fear the tyrant who wants to torture me.
00:46:37.000I fear the tyrant who wants to do something for my own good.
00:46:41.000And that's what the left is really doing because I think deep in their hearts, you hook them up to an EKG lie detector, they would tell you they're doing this for our own good.
00:46:48.000They're censoring this for our own good because we lack their critical thinking skills that they have in spades.
00:46:54.000And so that's what's so terrifying is because I think, obviously there are some who are, you know, sadistic and just want to hurt people.
00:47:00.000But I think there is a large portion of the left that are truly doing this from, in their own perspective, a sense of justice or a sense of, you know, do-gooderism.
00:47:08.000And that, to me, is so insidious because, in their hearts, they think they are helping you by crushing your freedom.
00:47:14.000That's the low-level guys, in my opinion.
00:47:16.000I think there's sociopaths on top that are truly calling the shots.
00:48:08.000And that's how they would approach national divorce in my mind.
00:48:10.000They would say, we can't let them go their separate ways because we have to help them.
00:48:15.000They would just go harm themselves or harm others.
00:48:18.000I think there are a small percentage of people that need to be guided, that if they see two opposing views, that they'll fall for it.
00:48:27.000But there's a huge amount of people that are discernible, that can tell, like, you give me the Hunter Biden story and the evidence that shows not... Well, those people, I think, actually wanted to hide that story.
00:49:39.000I don't think Shane said anything about them telling him what to report on, but they're in direct communication over the stories they're doing.
00:49:46.000And he said something like he told them, like, you got to talk to this guy in North Korea because he was Western educated.
00:49:56.000It doesn't matter if you're in government, it doesn't matter if you run a big company.
00:49:59.000Powerful elites want to hang out with powerful elites.
00:50:01.000That's why they have big conferences every year and they all hang out with each other in secret.
00:50:07.000You know, the story that we read in the beginning of today's broadcast is extremely important and really should make people aware of the larger manipulation that the government is conducting behind closed doors.
00:50:17.000But if they're doing this to big tech social media, what do you think they're doing to the corporate media?
00:50:33.000The way it works is there will be a reporter, young, 24, fresh out of college, gets a job writing for like a blog and they're doing blog articles or something.
00:50:46.000And all of a sudden, they publish this big scoop.
00:50:49.000Their bosses are like, whoa, how'd you get this story and have a source?
00:50:53.000Within a few years, they go from having only a few thousand followers on Twitter to reporting on major breaking stories about Russia, about social media manipulation, Russian disinformation, seemingly just dumping evidence appearing on MSNBC and these other channels.
00:51:08.000All of a sudden, they say, look, we know that Donald Trump did this, that, and this, fueling the Russiagate narrative.
00:51:15.000The reality is there's a young journalist who is stupid and government actors and agents say, hey, I'm going to be a source for you.
00:51:53.000It's a lot more insidious, especially when you look at the 1975 church committee meetings that literally talked about how the intelligence agencies were at the head of the major broadcasting companies deciding what stories they were going to cover and not cover.
00:52:08.000There was another famous journalist award-winning German reporter who worked for some of the biggest publications in the world, Udo of Keti, who came out and said essentially they would send me articles that I would just put my name on that they would write for me.
00:52:23.000I was essentially just regurgitating what the intelligence agencies wanted me to say.
00:52:28.000He died under, of course, mysterious circumstances.
00:52:31.000But again, this shows you that the government has the corporate media, and it's obvious.
00:52:41.000They're essentially trying to set up mind control in a way that works to their benefit.
00:52:46.000And that is clear as day when you watch the corporate media.
00:52:48.000It's not as clear on social media, but it's becoming clearer by the day, especially with the big reveal that we just found out about today when it came to the DHS.
00:53:52.000The right that I'm seeing the memes is that the guy who attacked Paul was a gay prostitute, the glass on the door was broken from the inside so the glass went outside, and that Paul Pelosi called the police and said he was a friend.
00:54:05.000I think both of those stories go a little too far.
00:54:07.000I think it's fair to say we don't know exactly what happened, and it's probably what they're saying about this guy being a Q cultist.
00:54:16.000But before we get into it, I just want to say a couple things.
00:54:19.000The reason why I think Paul Pelosi said he was a friend, if you listen to the police report, the 911 dispatch call, you wake up in the morning, some guy breaks into your house.
00:54:59.000I don't think Paul said to the police on the phone, Hi, I just want to let you know there's a guy I don't know in my house and he's a friend.
00:55:38.000I don't think ever, if there was a break-in, that you would tell the police your friend is over.
00:55:43.000If a crazy person broke into your house and started telling you, Ian, that you needed to help him right now to stop the gnomes who stole your spoons, would you be like, let me call the police and they'll get us on the phone?
00:56:05.000There's also a couple things that make you kind of wonder what's going on here.
00:56:09.000The Pelosi's are some of the richest people in the world and some of the most powerful and influential people in the world that have had their home targeted before by political activists and they had no security.
00:56:31.000Especially after the congressional leadership.
00:56:33.000If you're doing something shady, like they do in House of Cards, which, by the way, Bill Clinton said is 99% accurate, Maybe then I would understand that but there's also another another thing that happened here specifically with the political reporting that police told him that there was an unknown person that let them in political is now reporting that this is a baseless claim when they originally reported on it.
00:57:19.000Because once everyone starts posting memes about this crazy story about a leftist gay prostitute, it makes any regular person be like, what?
00:58:00.000And also they don't prove anything if they did.
00:58:02.000And just having someone tell me that a guy screamed something political is like, that just sounds like a red herring.
00:58:08.000Well Cass Sunstein, Obama's disinformation czar, openly talked about how they need to spread fake conspiracy theories in order to make the legitimate conspiracy theories look bad.
00:58:20.000He also talked about the importance of infiltrating 9-11 This is what I'm saying, right?
00:58:24.000who were victims of the attacks that happened in New York City in order to, of course, send
00:58:28.000in more propaganda, more disinformation in order to confuse everyone and make everyone
00:58:32.000look bad who were legitimately asking questions.
00:59:29.000Do you think it's possible that a drug deal could go bad, a small one, like a guy's dropping off at 2 in the morning some blow or something?
00:59:37.000Okay, so do you think it's possible this could be something like that?
00:59:40.000Yeah, maybe, but the guy was reportedly a Q cultist.
00:59:42.000I'm like, what do you think is more plausible?
00:59:45.000That one of the most secure places in the country, the third in line for the presidency, had no security, and a fringe conspiracy theorist was able to break in, and the government didn't know about it, or it was trying to buy some blow and it went bad?
00:59:58.000And there, to me, it's clear that the social condition that's going on, everything the left does right now is blamed on, you know, MAGA terrorism, white supremacist terrorism.
01:00:07.000They're trying to, I mean, if you, any four-star general from the military or any corporate CEO,
01:00:15.000whatever it is, they're all gonna tell you in a congressional hearing,
01:00:18.000the number one threat to America these days is MAGA terrorism, white supremacist terrorism.
01:00:22.000And again, I think if there's gonna be an explanation for this incident, whatever it is, that's their go-to card.
01:00:29.000And I just think they're playing that card every single time because they're conditioning everyone
01:00:50.000I just think that is a more shocking and difficult to believe story.
01:00:53.000And it's really the worst case scenario that Paul was doing some blow with some dude that got out of hand, and then he grabbed a hammer, I guess?
01:01:24.000No, double check me on this because that was the original story I heard was that the cops were there doing a wellness check and then that escalated because the hammer didn't come out.
01:01:33.000In the original Politico article, they said that Paul was not attacked with a hammer until the police arrived.
01:01:39.000It wasn't like they broke up a hammer attack.
01:01:42.000It's like the police showed up And then the struggle over the hammer ensued.
01:01:46.000That was what I heard. So like this, I got dispatcher Heather Grimes had sent something
01:01:49.000was wrong with the situation and ordered officials to conduct an expedited wellness check on the home.
01:01:54.000Look at this, the glass is broken. So the glass on both the outside and the inside people need
01:01:59.000to understand it. I'm seeing a lot of people say the glass on the outside, you can see the glass
01:02:02.000is clearly inside and outside. You got to pull it out as you as break. Right, right, right. So I
01:02:06.000know a dude who wants kicked a glass window, your foot, his foot went through it because it was
01:02:10.000safety glass. And when he pulled it out, he raked it out.
01:03:59.000I'm just saying, tell that to one of your normie friends and see how quickly they dismiss you and think you're insane.
01:04:04.000Yeah, stay away from non-factual proven things right now.
01:04:08.000Yeah, that's why I'm always like, look, sometimes the conspiracies are true, like the DHS story we have right here, we've long had this evidence.
01:04:15.000But if before these documents were released, even now it's probably hard.
01:04:19.000You go to someone and say, the government is colluding with big tech, we've got this from this lawsuit, people are going to be like, you're crazy.
01:04:26.000Now we have the Intercept reporting, a leftist publication.
01:04:28.000It's still going to be hard because the story sounds so nuts.
01:04:49.000Yeah, naked, you know, having done all kinds of drugs, you know, with a gay escort.
01:04:53.000And, you know, if those, if the photographic evidence of that rendezvous didn't exist, that would all be dismissed as a right-wing conspiracy theory.
01:05:00.000So, I mean, that's why it's so important.
01:05:01.000And then the DHS and the FBI would go to the big tech social media companies, be like, you got to center this right now.
01:05:35.000It's starting to sound a little less nefarious now that he called the cops, spoke in code.
01:05:39.000That's exactly what I, see, when I, when I heard the dispatch call and they said, he says he doesn't know him, but he's a friend, you know, and he's waiting for his wife.
01:05:48.000And I saw everybody being like, why would he say he's his friend?
01:05:50.000And I'm like, it's like those pizza phone calls.
01:05:53.000Where the woman calls and says like, you know, we want pizza and they're calling 9-1-1.
01:06:57.000And she's like, oh, they're coming to get me.
01:06:59.000And then she lied about when it happened to make it seem like the January 6th rioters were coming for her when her story took place a full hour before the Capitol was even breached.
01:07:07.000Well, not in the Capitol, in the building.
01:08:50.000Gas is higher in some places than other places because of the gas tax, of the government already taxing it.
01:08:56.000The government could make gas lower by just not taxing it, but now they're deciding, we're just going to tax it even more, which is absolutely ridiculous.
01:09:03.000I've heard that oil companies have been maintaining record profits.
01:09:08.000Oil companies get record profits amid global crisis since August 11th.
01:11:24.000Well, Lula is another World Economic Forum member, so I'm sure Brazil's gonna be, you know, protecting the globalist policies that, of course, are pushing the UN 2030 vision.
01:11:35.000Russia's all, let me sell you our gas through the Mediterranean, United States.
01:11:39.000And the United States is all, nah, nah, can't, nah, don't, don't compute, nah.
01:11:45.000And Russia's like, yo, let's be trade partners.
01:15:08.000I think Republicans are fairly bad in a lot of ways.
01:15:11.000But you sit down here and we talk with some of these various politicians and they will articulate their positions about why they want to do what they're doing.
01:15:20.000And then you take a look at the modern Democrat narrative, and it's MAGA Republicans are evil.
01:16:10.000More importantly, Ben Shapiro actively tries to have conversations with people he disagrees with and come to an understanding, and they refuse.
01:16:16.000And I respect that, but they don't care.
01:16:50.000I told the story, but we've actually had some instances for TimCast.com where people are like, I've changed my mind.
01:16:55.000And it's like, dude, you said in public in front of everyone what you said.
01:16:58.000Like, you walk up to us, we're filming it, you can't come later, but I revoke consent to being filmed.
01:17:04.000I'm not sure if you guys saw, it was Matt Walsh, he was doing a speech, and this young trans, it was a man, I don't know what gender the person was, but they were trans, and they were talking to Matt, and like, I don't know what to do, you say these things, I'm upset, and I don't want to put words in their mouths, you should watch the interview, it's great.
01:17:20.000And then Matt was like, I don't hate you.
01:17:33.000You could see he really cares about these people.
01:17:36.000That was an example of someone from the left expressing their emotions and someone from the right understanding and communicating in their language in an emotional way.
01:17:45.000But also displaying some facts about the pharmaceutical companies.
01:20:11.000I think that verification should be literally for the purpose of verifying users, so you know who I am, so there's no impersonators, so that I can be like, this is my official account.
01:20:21.000Then, TimCast News will also, by its verification, say this is the official account of TimCast News, so that you don't follow the wrong account.
01:22:36.000You can do whatever you want, and it's going to be interesting because this is a way to fight against the pressure that Elon Musk is facing from Bill Gates, the Washington Post, and a lot of people in the establishment that are calling for an advertiser boycott.
01:22:49.000Now, with this new system, yeah, Boycott all you want.
01:24:46.000If you don't want to be in the adult section, go into the little playground pit here.
01:24:50.000On Mines, I built a gamification model for Mines where you would basically get tokens for using the site.
01:24:56.000You could use these tokens to buy or to hire avatars that you'll send out on missions, and then every day you'll get a notification throughout the day.
01:25:03.000If you click the notification, it's like, Your hero found a sword if you're there.
01:25:07.000If you don't click the notification, he doesn't find it.
01:25:09.000So you'll be like, it'll create, generate attention for the site.
01:25:12.000And then when they come back from their mission, you get a trophy that goes in your profile.
01:25:16.000So if you want to turn on gamification mode, you can play and then that'd be a good way to integrate utility tokens.
01:25:21.000Well, let me just invert, invert that on you.
01:25:46.000And it could be an overlay where you flip it on and then just turn it back off if you don't want it on.
01:25:49.000Or not even, I'm just saying like literally, I bet someone's gonna comment saying it exists, but I'm saying like a website where you create a profile, you friend people, and your profile is also a leveling up character with notifications that like you can engage in scenarios and play games.
01:26:19.000It's a good token sync, because the thing about utility tokens and giving them out is you need a way to deflate the currency, so it's a good way for people to put tokens back into the system.
01:27:30.000Because the journalists like the gamified retweet counts, like bragging about their follower counts, and they like the fact that the verification badge is a status symbol that's granted to you, like knighthood.
01:28:44.000And I think these organizations have been doing that deliberately.
01:28:48.000They have been pushing, I think, a divide and conquer agenda that makes people hate
01:28:51.000each other and fight each other based on trivial differences that don't really matter in our
01:28:56.000And I think at the end of the day, it wasn't an accident.
01:28:59.000I think the FBI, DHS is like, hey, we got to make sure that these people fight each other so they don't really see what's really happening to them.
01:29:05.000And that's a perfect way of doing that.
01:29:08.000The government has been controlling the big tech social media companies, so it's fair to assert right now that they are the ones pushing for ratios, pushing for hatred, pushing for all the divisiveness and all the drama that of course captivates big tech social media.
01:29:23.000I just hope Elon's ready for the storm.
01:30:46.000It's like he's in a position like George Washington was after the revolution where he's the... Now he's the president and they want him to become king.
01:30:53.000People will be like, hey, just you be the one in charge.
01:31:34.000But when it comes to the battle of ideas, he is proposing amazing ideas, important ideas that no one else is, and they're crucially important for our existence right now.
01:31:47.000So his battles against Bill Gates, his battles against depopulation, his battles against You know, the real things that are coming and are going to be hurting humanity, I think, are important.
01:31:58.000And, you know, I'm still not 100% convinced.
01:32:27.000A system where everybody holds their own private keys and can log in with their own private data and log out, and there's no central repository of data that the DHS can go after.
01:32:36.000You just say because I can't give you the info because I don't have it.
01:32:44.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com.
01:32:50.000We're gonna have a members-only show coming up for you at about 11 p.m.
01:33:14.000Cabo Rojo says, Tim and crew, shameless plug for both of us, Single Grain of Sand just released our next song, Oracle, exclusively on Rumble, all about MSM corruption, mass formation, hypnosis.
01:33:25.000Looking forward to your next song on 11.4, music saves the world.
01:33:29.000Ah yes, earlier in the show, I received top secret documents for the new song release for the music video we're putting out, which is gonna ruffle feathers.
01:34:01.000Jubilant for the story, angry at the government, weary the cult will stay the cult, and worried someone will do something stupid so the media can brush the story under the rug.
01:34:08.000I mean, this Pelosi guy is a crazy guy who did something stupid, you know?
01:34:13.000They can say what the story is anyway, so.
01:34:16.000Christina H. says, scary news on Halloween, how appropriate.
01:39:33.000I think that the definition, like protests have changed to online now.
01:39:37.000If you make an internet YouTube channel and you get 100,000 views, that's a big protest.
01:39:42.000You're able to protest things with your voice and then people will listen and change.
01:39:46.000And you don't have to stress out the militants by gathering tons of people because that's when they start to get really concerned is when there's large groups.
01:39:55.000Jason Take says, on the Joe Rogan show, Vijaya's smug answer to you about the government being comfortable about Twitter's actions make a lot more sense now.
01:40:31.000But then when people are scrolling through YouTube, they see a gray block and they don't realize it's the show and they don't, you know, they ignore it.
01:41:15.000People don't understand, it's not just gasoline fueling this country, it's diesel.
01:41:18.000I think this Members Only segment is going to be particularly lit, because I've been watching a bunch of stuff over the weekend, plus some of the stuff we were talking about, so sign up at TimCast.com for the Members Show.
01:44:25.000Apana Nicola says, basically, Tim, my gripe with Electric Dreams episode is that you made it sound like a Twilight Zone thriller, but it wasn't nearly as interesting.
01:45:35.000Just like the Americans couldn't win the revolution without the French, we can't do this without the world's support.
01:45:40.000We need all of the anti-establishment force from all these other countries to come together to form a coalition to compete against those who are trying to form this international coalition.
01:46:08.000Ian Kinney says, Obama, through the NDAA, got rid of the Smith-Mund Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987, which prevented the US government from using propaganda on the American public.
01:47:23.000Yeah, when I was in college, probably the play I'm best known for, my senior year against South Carolina, came on a blindside sack and literally knocked the quarterback unconscious.
01:47:32.000He fumbled the ball, scored the next play, kind of ended the game.
01:47:37.000I let off my campaign launch video with that hit, just to kind of set the tone.
01:48:19.000So there was some Goldman trader who literally retired off of doge speculation.
01:48:23.000He saw what was coming and he put like, you know, a couple million doge at like one penny and then sold it at maybe a dollar or whatever, like maybe 60, whatever the peak, he sold out the peak and made, you know, nine figures.
01:48:50.000Yeah, and you know what's funny is like, you'd think that because we're in the news, we would be really good at these trades.
01:48:55.000Because like, we're sitting here going like, oh look, you know, Elon, there's rumors of him integrating Doge, and now Doge's, you know, value is spiking.
01:49:01.000And then we just don't do anything, we don't buy any Doge, and then a week goes by and they're like, oh yeah, I doubled my money on Doge.
01:49:06.000And it's like, How are we the ones doing the show and not capitalizing on it?
01:49:09.000Some crazy dudes put like all their money into that kind of thing, that gamble.
01:49:14.000The highest it's ever been is 63 cents.
01:54:03.000I love that guy's name, Pinochet's Helicopter Tours.
01:54:06.000I was in Chile and it's so fresh in the memory.
01:54:08.000Pinochet was like this autocratic dictator that would take people on helicopters and drop his political—or people he didn't like—out of heli—like, they just had black helicopters, and people would go up, they'd never come back.
01:54:17.000They would drop them into the ocean and stuff.
01:54:20.000It's pretty dark, but I like the name.
01:55:54.000I had an idea that they could, because they're like, we need more Chile, they want to make the size bigger, so I was like, you can tap the volcanoes with a sieve, get the lava to flow down to the ocean, and to create more land, like cool into the water, and then you grow Chile out into the ocean.
01:56:08.000Or, here's an idea, give guns to your people, and then just take the land from someone else.
01:56:36.000Cain Abel says, Tim, are you and Luke using Ian to speak in code because the FBI told you not to report the facts and truth of the matter of the Pelosi?
01:56:44.000Ian is actually making more sense here.
01:56:47.000Well, you know, sometimes, you know, Ian rolls 20s.
01:57:03.000Shlongathan McTwinkletwot, good name, says, question for Luke, how do you feel about regime libertarians actively ruining the ideology?
01:57:14.000My favorite meme is like the two people fighting and then the one person, you know, with the bong laughing, and it's like libertarian fighting a libertarian with a libertarian laughing at the libertarians fighting each other.
01:57:25.000I do believe there's a lot of, you know, a COINTELPRO kind of like behavior inside the libertarian party that has kind of made it the larger joke that it is.
01:57:34.000The candidates that they had within the last few years were just utter jokes.
01:57:46.000And again, we shouldn't be prioritizing a lot of this nonsense.
01:57:49.000We shouldn't try to placate Black Lives Matter or the national security state.
01:57:54.000We should just be promoting personal responsibility.
01:57:57.000Just having people that are going to be the strongest, best versions of themselves.
01:58:01.000If we just focused on you being the best version of yourself, health-wise, physically, Mentally, spiritually, man, would that party, you know, take off because there wouldn't be a need for the party.
01:58:13.000And that's essentially what libertarianism is, according to my own opinion.
01:58:18.000says, Ian, Exxon made more profit last year than in 2020 and 2021 than in 2020 because COVID killed demand and oil companies took a loss in 2020 because of it.
01:58:29.000Pay attention to why it happened and how the narrative is framed, please.
01:59:24.000So one reason for the Pat's success over the years was that Brady played for a substantially sub-market contract.
01:59:32.000He was the best quarterback in the game, whereas other QBs like Joe Flacco or Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, whoever, they take these massive contracts that cut into the salary cap.
01:59:42.000Because the NFL, unlike the Major League Baseball or the NBA, there's a hard salary cap.
01:59:47.000So each team can only spend a certain amount of money.
01:59:50.000When your QB1 is taking up a $30 million per year cap hit, that really hamstrings the rest of your roster in terms of talent acquisition.
01:59:58.000So Brady, he played for I think an average of like $8 to $10 million a year when he was worth $30.
02:00:04.000It helps when your wife is, you know, independently wealthy, so it wasn't like he was, you know, missing any meals.
02:00:10.000But also, at a certain point, it's like you're worth millions and millions of dollars.
02:00:18.000So it is legit that he's doing it, but it's a lot different from someone who makes like $100k, being like, I'm gonna go
02:00:34.000So the NFL Players Association had a lot of beef with that because ultimately what the NFL Players Union wants is to eliminate the NFL salary cap.
02:00:45.000And the best way to do that is to make, because there's, not to get too deep into this, but there's a divide amongst NFL owners.
02:00:51.000There are some NFL owners, like the super wealthy ones like Jerry Jones, who want to get rid of the salary cap so they can be like the New York Yankees and spend $400 million a year to get the best players.
02:01:03.000There are other owners who are cheaper who like the salary cap because it keeps costs down.
02:01:07.000So when someone like Tom Brady plays for a sub-market deal, he's in effect helping the owners who want the hard salary cap because that overall depresses the market value for quarterbacks.
02:01:17.000So in a way, yes, he was helping the Patriots.
02:01:20.000In another school of thought, he was hurting the rest of the league in terms of the players because he was artificially depressing NFL salaries.
02:01:28.000You think they should keep the salary cap?
02:01:31.000I think baseball has the best system in a lot of ways because it lets teams like the Yankees or Dodgers or Red Sox spend whatever they want to spend to get the best players.
02:01:42.000That obviously enhances the market for players.
02:01:46.000It increases their salaries because there's a pure competitive environment.
02:02:09.000The Oakland A's, they were one of those lower spending teams, and Brad Pitt's character in the movie, Billy Bean, he devised this, or he used this system, Saber Metrics, to try to identify better, cheaper players.
