In this week's After Show, we discuss the resignation of FBI Director Anthony Fauci, the West Virginia bomb threat, and the assassination of Alexander Dugin s daughter. Plus, we're joined by the new Surgeon General of Florida, Joe Latipo.
00:01:36.000Donald Trump is suing to block the FBI from reviewing seized materials, according to some people who worked in the Trump administration.
00:01:43.000They believe that these materials are related to the Russiagate investigation, which makes a lot of sense.
00:01:48.000And we've also seen reporting that the FBI group that went after these documents was the same group that actually led the Russia collusion FBI investigation.
00:01:57.000So it sounds like things are pretty corrupt across the board.
00:02:07.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com to become a member if you'd like to support our work.
00:02:12.000We are going to have a members-only show coming up for you at 11 p.m., and this one's going to be very good.
00:02:18.000We're going to get in deep details about COVID and vaccines because... So first, let me say, smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and the after show is going to be particularly important because we are being joined by the Surgeon General of Florida, Joe Latipo.
00:04:44.000He doesn't have any swelling, but he's got some laxness in some of his wrist joints, and he probably just needs to kind of have it immobilized.
00:05:02.000You know, you're not, you're not arthritic when you're, when you're a little bit, you know, we got a, we got a music video coming out on Friday.
00:05:10.000So now's not the time to immobilize my wrist.
00:05:13.000So I actually just submerge it and let it just float in the tub.
00:06:20.000What's the next chapter of your career?
00:06:22.000I mean, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but it's like, bro, get your rocking chair, sit on your porch, rock back and forth with a nice sweet tea and enjoy your sunny days, man.
00:06:30.000But he's saying he's still got a lot to do.
00:06:33.000Now, the big thing here is, let me see if I have it pulled up.
00:06:36.000Newsweek writes, Fauci resigning out of fear of GOP investigations, say Republicans.
00:06:43.000In December, Fauci will forfeit his roles as the chief of the NIAID, Laboratory of Immunoregulation, and President Joe Biden's chief medical advisor, saying he wants to pursue the next chapter of my career.
00:06:53.000Republicans believe Fauci is leaving government due to the possibility that the GOP will take control of the House in November.
00:06:58.000Quote, Dr. Fauci is conveniently resigning from his position in December before House Republicans have an opportunity to hold him accountable for destroying our country over these past three years.
00:08:46.000That is that is the creepiest thing to me about a lot of this is that during the pandemic, people had had pointed out quite extensively vitamin D, you know, getting sunlight, getting exercise, getting fresh air.
00:08:56.000And these things were really important.
00:08:58.000But this was never the official guidance.
00:09:16.000Well, it's, you know, vitamin D is very mysterious because there is study after study that shows that if you have low levels of vitamin D, you're at higher risk for everything.
00:09:27.000Depression, high blood pressure, cancer.
00:09:53.000And what gets me, actually, is that, you know, Maybe it doesn't work, but there's a class of doctors who are just rabid about trying to stop people from using medications that are low risk and are uncertain.
00:10:12.000They just want to keep saying, no, that doesn't work.
00:11:18.000The FDA actually reviewed it recently and they decided not to give it the thumbs up.
00:11:24.000And, you know, that was criticized by some advocates of the of the medication.
00:11:28.000And, you know, the FDA, it wasn't that they didn't make the right decision, but they took forever to make the decision.
00:11:34.000And this thing, we could have had the answer to this like two years ago, literally.
00:11:39.000But there was, you know, there was very little interest in treatment during the pandemic, as many people know.
00:11:43.000There's several treatments that have become notorious and YouTube explicitly bans people for advocating for things like that.
00:11:54.000The strange thing to me about a lot of it is if the argument was always talk to your doctor, Why is it that if a doctor recommends something publicly, it's unacceptable and it's bannable?
00:12:27.000Like he wasn't practicing for 30 years?
00:12:29.000I don't think he still sees patients, certainly not actively or frequently.
00:12:33.000So the issue I take with Fauci over the past several years, notably during the peak of the pandemic, was the wishy-washiness, the flip-flopping, which he justified as, oh, the science is changing.
00:13:07.000But he's coming off on TV as if he is the expert.
00:13:09.000And because of the things he says, you end up with these really weird tribalist positions where, very famously early on, he said, don't wear masks.
00:13:17.000Later on, he said, the reason they were saying that was because they needed the masks for the nurses and the doctors and it was more important they got it.
00:13:24.000You know, were you, did the science change or were you aware and you didn't want people buying masks?
00:13:30.000Either way you cut it, he's dishonest.
00:13:33.000By the way, the science didn't change.
00:13:35.000But either way you cut it, he's dishonest.
00:13:36.000Because the thing is, the clinical trials before the pandemic, almost all of them found no benefit from regular folks walking around with masks.
00:14:02.000I mean, you know, what he said, of course, was that he was trying to save the masks for healthcare workers.
00:14:07.000But how can you even believe... I mean, it's hard to... Well, so I'll say this.
00:14:12.000We've had conversations about masks before.
00:14:16.000We're outside of all of this pandemic stuff now, so I don't know where any of YouTube's policies sit on this stuff.
00:14:22.000But we've pulled up the CDC's website, and it actually... It's not as crazy as a lot of... There's the pro-mask people and the anti-mask people.
00:14:34.000I mean, moderate when it comes to masks.
00:14:36.000Like, the CDC said there's a marginal benefit.
00:14:39.000It's decent enough that they would recommend it in some circumstances.
00:14:42.000Like, the obvious thing I would say, you know, obviously if you're sick and you're wearing a mask, you're gonna stop some coughing, sneezing, and spitting on people, and something like that, right?
00:14:49.000Sure, but that's different from whether wearing a mask reduces the chance of someone else getting a virus.
00:14:57.000And even, you know, I get it, like the idea that you think something's going to work and therefore it should work, but that's why we have clinical studies.
00:15:05.000Well, but the CDC on their website now says that there was a moderate reduction in like 70 different studies.
00:15:11.000At least this is the last time we pulled up this huge list of studies.
00:15:35.000They pull up these observational studies, and they hang their hats on them, and the observational studies are finding these huge reductions, and then they say, oh, look at this, the masks work great, you know, and make those, you know, everyone should wear them, including kids, like the most ridiculous part.
00:16:09.000Like this is, you know, you randomize people, you give, you know, and you, that's the gold standard for testing stuff, whether something actually works.
00:16:18.000That's how, you know, if it really works and it should work in a clinical trial too, And one study found zero, no benefit.
00:16:25.000There was so much spin, by the way, when that study came out by medical doctors trying to explain why there wasn't a benefit.
00:16:32.000The second study basically found no benefit.
00:16:35.000There was no benefit for a cloth mask.
00:18:21.000When I came in, I said, you know, the number one indication of why someone is resigning is because they failed.
00:18:28.000I don't know if that's why he's resigning, because he's now admitting defeat and failure, or if he's realized, I've come to the point in my career where I can no longer serve, I'm resigning.
00:18:56.000So in some ways it is interesting to me that he is not.
00:18:59.000opting to retire because he'd still make a lot of money off of retiring.
00:19:04.000In some ways to me it's hard not to read vanity into this.
00:19:07.000Retiring means that you're old and retiring means that you like are no longer supposed to have an opinion and right now he wields a lot of influence so if he retires he is acting as if he's going to step back and he doesn't want to.
00:19:19.000I mean this is the man who while by the pandemic filmed a documentary about himself with Disney.
00:19:25.000It's a It doesn't seem like he knows where he wants to go, but he does not want to leave the limelight.
00:19:31.000And of course that's subjective, although...
00:19:34.000Retiring does seem like a totally plausible option for him.
00:19:38.000He did, I think I was talking about this before the show, in July, there was this report from Politico.
00:19:43.000He'd done this interview and Politico reported that Fauci intended to retire at the end of Biden's administration.
00:19:48.000So that would be next December, not this one.
00:19:51.000And then the day after they published, he was like, no, I'm not going to retire.
00:19:54.000I didn't say that, even though they have him on record saying that.
00:19:57.000So, it seems like, again, this idea of retiring has a lot of fear for him, and whether it's because he thinks he opens the door for an investigation or it's vanity, it's hard to say.
00:20:06.000Are you saying that he could have stayed at the job longer and then retired and got a monetary package?
00:20:11.000Yeah, he's entitled to a government pension, and because he's been working for the federal government for, I think, four decades, it's very sizable.
00:20:18.000And even though he's resigning, is he still getting the same package?
00:20:20.000I believe he still has access to it, but again, he's not publicly retiring, and to me, that speaks to vanity.
00:20:25.000He doesn't want to seem like the old out-of-touch doctor.
00:20:28.000I want to ask real quick, because I don't want to stick around on this subject too much, but I pulled up the CDC.gov and they mentioned, so explain to me what these studies mean.
00:20:37.000It says, this is from the CDC, the CDC still recommends wearing masks if you're going to be in large gatherings.
00:20:43.000This is a large, well-designed cluster, randomized trial in Bangladesh in late 2020 found that surgical or cloth mask distribution Role modeling and active mask promotion tripled mask use by 42.3% in intervention villages compared to 13.4% blah blah blah.
00:20:58.000In villages receiving mask interventions, symptomatic seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 was reduced by approximately 9% relative to comparison villages.
00:21:07.000In villages randomized to receive surgical masks, symptomatic seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 was significantly lower, 11.1% overall.
00:21:14.000The results of the study show that even modest increases in community use can effectively reduce symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.
00:21:21.000So that sounds like they do, you know, like I was saying, you know, the CDC often says it's marginal nine to 10%.
00:21:32.000Like, so, so that nine or 10%, so the seroprevalence that they mentioned.
00:21:38.000What does that mean by the way, seroprevalence?
00:21:39.000So they test people's blood for antibodies to the virus as an indicator of prior infection, right?
00:21:48.000So so 9 or 10% that's called a that's a relative reduction.
00:21:53.000So if you have the villages that get the the villages that get the masks and Their seroprevalence is is 12% and you have the villages that don't get the masks and their seroprevalence is 11% That's a 10% reduction Oh, 10% of 12 is 1.
00:22:19.000And that, by the way, is just another... that's just an example of why doctors like Myself, and I think probably some of the other doctors you've had on your show, are just fed up with the lies and the misrepresentation of science.
00:24:17.000I mean, that is an extremely weak finding.
00:24:20.000Well, I can only say that, you know, the CDC still has on their website the recommendation and several studies, but I don't know how to reconcile that with the NewsGuard-certified Los Angeles Daily News saying that scientists, doctors from USC and UCLA, saying that masking had a limited effect.
00:24:37.000It sounds like they're saying more in line with what you were saying.
00:25:13.000Well, you know, actually there are some studies that show some evidence of harm, potential harm.
00:25:19.000You know, they don't get a lot of, they don't get any media attention, but there are some studies that show harm.
00:25:24.000In fact, There was a clinical trial of cloth masks among doctors, healthcare workers in Thailand, I think it was Thailand, that was published years ago in the British Medical Journal, which is a very good journal, that compared cloth masks to surgical masks.
00:25:41.000And basically, the people in the cloth mask group got more infections.
00:26:22.000Observational studies, you know, you go around this room and you measure, let's say you measure, you know, what's a good one for this room?
00:26:35.000Yeah, okay, so you measure sugar consumption and you have each one of us go out and skateboard, okay?
00:26:42.000So, you know, I don't know, let's suppose that I don't drink, I don't have much sugar consumption, or energy drink consumption, okay?
00:26:51.000So you got guys like me who basically don't consume energy drinks.
00:26:56.000Say one of you guys do and let's say that Tim consumes a lot of energy drinks and then you like you go and see how well we skateboard or we fill some survey that says how well we skateboard and then you conclude that hey look at that you drink more energy drinks you're gonna be a better skateboarder.
00:27:12.000That's how observational studies work.
00:27:14.000So they're not, like, taking into account he might have been practicing skateboarding.
00:27:28.000So I think, you know, with observational studies, you would need substantially more And all you'd really do, it sounds like, is find anomalies.
00:27:35.000Find things that may be that you'd want to test further.
00:27:41.000I mean, there's so many examples of misdirection from observational studies.
00:27:48.000In regards to vitamin D, which we brought up earlier, is there a difference?
00:27:50.000I've heard there's a difference in endogenous vitamin D and vitamin D that you take, meaning the vitamin D you get your body to produce naturally from like sunlight causing it to happen as opposed to eating a vitamin D vitamin.
00:28:01.000Is there a difference in the way it biochemically interacts?
00:28:05.000So, you know, biochemically, not sure.
00:28:09.000I mean, the process by which they, it's, you know, when your body creates vitamin D versus taking it from a pill, I mean, that is different biologically.
00:28:17.000But, you know, in terms of things like if you break your wrist or something and it's because you've got, you know, low bone density, whether you take supplemental vitamin D or you get more sunlight, the benefits of the vitamin D to your bones are going to be the same.
00:28:34.000But there are people who believe that there are differences in the effects from whether it's sunlight or from a pill.
00:28:42.000I don't know that science well enough.
00:28:43.000We're gonna do a, like, very hard segue.
00:28:53.000The next story we have, because I'll just mention this for everybody, we're going to get into way more detail on all of this stuff at TimCast.com, the 11pm members only show, for a variety of reasons, some of them are fairly obvious, but we're going to get into a lot of deep detail, especially with Florida's response and what Florida's doing.
00:29:08.000And then we've got some other stuff I want to talk about when it comes to medical practices in Florida pertaining to trans kids, but we do have some breaking news that we put off for a little bit.
00:29:17.000We have this story from Metro News West Virginia.
00:29:20.000Explosive devices reported at two locations in Bluefield.
00:29:24.000There were no injuries after the discovery of two explosive devices in Bluefield on Monday morning.
00:29:29.000West Virginia State Police, the Bluefield Police Department, and other law enforcement responded to a call at the federal courthouse in downtown Bluefield around 9.40 a.m.
00:29:37.000Officers evacuated all people from the building and an adjacent department building as they dealt with the device.
00:29:42.000Apparently, they detonated police-yell fire in the hole before a loud boom was heard.
00:29:47.000It was destroyed around 1140 inside the federal building.
00:29:50.000An explosion was heard from the building.
00:29:52.000Another device was found at, I believe it's down here, Westminster Presbyterian Church in Bluefield, West Virginia.
00:30:00.000So, the reason I thought this was, you know, this story caught my eye, and it's not really getting a lot of attention, is someone planted a bomb at a federal courthouse.
00:30:09.000I mean, we saw in 2020 the riots with the far left.
00:30:12.000They were attacking the federal courthouse in Portland.
00:30:13.000And then I saw it was West Virginia, and West Virginia is MAGA country.
00:30:17.000You know, it's the second most Trump-supporting state in the United States.
00:30:20.000So I wondered who or why would someone do this?
00:30:25.000It's an isolated incident pertaining to local matters, and it's only getting national attention because of the tensions and the conflicts that have been happening at the federal level or with the FBI, for instance.
00:30:59.000This could have been someone from another country that wants to instill agitation in the people's minds.
00:31:07.000And that it's a church and a courthouse?
00:31:09.000Two different buildings about a mile apart.
00:31:11.000Yeah, like you don't have far right religious zealots bombing churches ever, really.
00:31:17.000I mean, so that doesn't make it doesn't seem like I am very hesitant to start blaming groups or ideologies for this because it could be anybody that wants to see chaos in the United States could be doing stuff.
00:31:44.000I haven't had a chance to look into him too intensely.
00:31:47.000I mean, there is The instinct, and I hesitate to tie it to any specific group, although it's incredibly disruptive, but there's also a chance someone had something personal.
00:31:59.000I was saying before the show that I wonder what was on the docket in the courthouse that day, and we looked it up, the church and the federal building are about a mile apart.
00:32:08.000So there's a question of like why those two places, because Roe v. Wade.
00:33:12.000It's scary stuff considering the escalation we've seen around the world and the United States.
00:33:16.000My first thought was when the news broke that it was a federal courthouse, that they were going to start saying it was Trump supporters because of the FBI, because they're going after Trump, and because this judge, this federal judge in Florida, Yeah, I mean, I've read the stories.
00:33:30.000I don't know if you're familiar with this guy, right?
00:33:57.000Democrats, Roe v. Wade, the federal courts, the churches, the religious people.
00:34:00.000And I'm wondering if this is just more likely to be at the very least, not saying we have evidence, but left-wing radicalization and attacks.
00:34:09.000Why would it happen in literal MAGA country though?
00:34:16.000West Virginia is such an interesting state because it does have such a tie to the Democratic Party.
00:34:20.000It was a Democratic stronghold for a long, long time.
00:34:23.000And so I think that native West Virginians, while they are often MAGA supporting, It's a more complex state than people give it credit for because they ultimately like every county in the state went for Trump.
00:34:38.000I do say like it's very hard to tell I wouldn't be surprised at all if this had left-wing ties and again I would really like to know what was going on in the courthouse today.
00:34:47.000The church is what's interesting to me because it feels more personal.
00:34:51.000Again, a mile away, a 20-minute walk, that means that you could have probably... I mean, it's West Virginia.
00:34:55.000There are probably four other churches within the vicinity.
00:35:18.000They said that the suspect who's in custody is going to undergo evaluation, so they might be arguing that there's some sort of psychological disturbance.
00:35:26.000But again, this is a functioning- Anybody who's putting a bomb anywhere is going to have a seat right.
00:36:28.000Because one bomb in central West Virginia now is global notoriety, whereas in the 70s it was like, good luck if you read about it in the paper the next day.
00:37:01.000Three days later, maybe it happens on a Friday, you don't watch the news until Monday, and then the Monday news report comes out, and you're like, huh.
00:37:20.000If it took a week, I mean, you go back to the revolutionary period.
00:37:24.000If it took a month or two months for someone in a different state to find out that someone got shot in a different state, they could not react to it or escalate because they didn't know it happened.
00:37:33.000But now with social media and with instant communications, the moment it happens, you see a protest, right?
00:37:39.000Like, you get a video of a dude being beaten by cops, hour later, Black Lives Matter is out on the street protesting.
00:37:45.000That wouldn't be possible without the internet, without cell phones.
00:37:48.000Before even when we had cell phones, that wouldn't have happened.
00:37:55.000It was only after the iPhone made it possible for people to pull up Facebook and see community organizing instantly did we start seeing that kind of phenomenon.
00:38:27.000But I'm wondering if relative to political conflicts, it's not as much violence that will trigger a civil war, civil conflict, or something like that.
00:38:54.000It's not making me snap to attention, maybe like it should be.
00:38:57.000The downside is people are going to go nuts faster.
00:39:00.000The upside is people can mobilize faster if there's a real emergency like some sort of flood or whatever.
00:39:06.000There are, just to tie this up, 10 churches closer to the courthouse than the Westminster Presbyterian Church, which is actually a little bit farther away.
00:39:26.000I mean, I think you're still right that it could be tied to ideology and they know they have access to a federal courthouse in their town.
00:39:34.000Earlier I pitched like, well, we have to see how far the church is because what if the church is outside?
00:39:38.000So when you evacuate the building, people come outside and it's even more of a dangerous situation.
00:39:43.000I think, just to tie it back to what you're saying about the news cycle, I think that these moments that feel like breaking news, you know, for us, because we're watching the news, it is really interesting and for some people they'll remember it.
00:39:58.000But they won't start to pay attention until there's a pattern, until there's another federal courthouse in another small town in another part of America.
00:40:04.000And then it will start to seem like, oh, wait, is something going on?
00:40:07.000And at that point, we really have to ask ourselves, like, are we too late?
00:40:12.000Are we missing something that's really significant that's going on?
00:40:15.000One of the mistakes people make is when you hear stories about small rural towns being targeted in this way for whatever this was.
00:40:22.000They say, well, it's probably not political because why would they come to this small town?
00:40:26.000And it's like, okay, you know, that's one way to think about it.
00:40:28.000But we have seen Antifa go to small towns.
00:40:32.000And the idea behind that is, in order to inflict maximum terror, if you're engaged in political violence, you have to go to small towns because people feel safe when they're far away from the cities.
00:40:44.000If the riots and the attacks are happening in small towns, So that was the logic around why far-left extremists were going to these towns.
00:40:52.000It's the logic behind why a terrorist would attack a small town to make sure that everyone feels terrified of it.
00:43:37.000Because Dugan is the man of influence, and now all of that pain that he has will be channeled into the influence he uses, and it will be heard over and over and over again by all of his followers, and his followers that are in the government.
00:43:50.000So this has now given him a reason to call for more war, more retribution, more anger, and he will drive that to his followers.
00:43:59.000On its, I don't know, on its face it looks like Ukrainians killed Dugin's daughter as retaliation for the war in Ukraine.
00:44:07.000But I was reading an article and they were like, ah false, this is a, this is a textbook Russian false flag, could be a textbook Russian false flag operation.
00:44:14.000And then I started picturing like a conversation between Dugin and Putin and Dugin's like, I would give everything for this country, Vladimir, everything!
00:44:21.000And Vladimir's like, you would give everything?
00:44:25.000And then Putin's like, all right, well, then I'll kill his daughter, because he just, he, and I don't even feel guilty about it, because he already said he'd sacrifice everything for it, so.
00:44:32.000Reportedly, he has said things about sacrificing everything for the cause and things like that, but to this extent, I would just say, It is the simple solution that they blew up his car, and it was the wrong person.
00:44:46.000It's the simple solution that this guy is a nationalist, powerful influencer, and they wanted him gone.
00:44:54.000I mean, people in the West have interviewed him.
00:44:56.000His ideas have spread all across Europe.
00:44:59.000Not saying they're completely dominant across Europe, but a lot of people have listened to this guy.
00:45:04.000And if you take a look at the expansion of right-wing nationalism across Europe, Well, there are certainly many people who don't like nationalism, or the right, who would look at him as one of the key components of pushing those ideas.
00:45:18.000So, Occam's razor would suggest, in the absence of evidence, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions, that's it.
00:45:26.000Anti-internationalist forces, probably Ukrainian, targeted him in Moscow.
00:45:37.000The reason it's simple solution that it's Ukraine.
00:45:39.000I'm not trying to blame them to call them any names or anything, but to point out it's probably them.
00:45:45.000When you are the weaker fighting force, typically you see these groups engage in more terroristic activities and targeted assassinations and things like things like this, because it's the best they could do in the conflict.
00:45:56.000For Russia, they're looking at a conventional war.
00:45:59.000You go in, send in the tanks, send in the troops, drop the bombs.
00:46:03.000For Ukraine, which is, I think, like the poorest country in Europe, and it's like the only country to get poor after the fall of Soviet Union, they're thinking, we have to do whatever it takes, and we don't have much capabilities.
00:46:19.000It's the simplest solution for sure, but in war propaganda, they will use the simplest solution against you to make you think that that's what it is.
00:46:26.000I think if they had assassinated Dugan outright they would have risked a more serious retribution from Putin.
00:46:35.000Well my thought here is that his daughter, Dugan's daughter, was involved in his influence and she was also seen like not on the international level that she was but within the country she is an advocate for his policies of belief so in some way they are maybe Effectively hurting the morale of the Russian people by targeting, by choosing to detonate the car when she was in it as opposed to him, while still being able to like say it wasn't quite as aggressive as outright detonating, you know, this person who has tremendous influence in a relationship with the nation's president.
00:47:09.000The one thing that I would say that is a counterpoint that suggests it may actually be a false flag, or, you know, Russians doing this, because we actually have a story here.
00:47:16.000I mean, let me pull this up from Daily Mail.
00:47:18.000Car bomb attack on Putin's Rasputin, who Vladimir deemed uncontrollable, has all the hallmarks of a Russian GRU execution because military spy group often include a target's family.
00:47:28.000I don't see why they would go after Dugin, they're saying, because the Kremlin deemed him unruly.
00:47:34.000The one thing I would say that makes me think it could be a false flag, although I don't think it is, Getting his daughter was the worst possible thing you can do in terms of escalation.
00:47:44.000So to disagree with you a bit, Dugan's voice would be lost if he died.
00:47:49.000If your goal was to amplify his message of nationalism, and get a martyr, you'd go after his daughter.
00:47:57.000Because now you've got a martyr, someone who holds the same ideas as him,
00:48:00.000who speaks the same ideas, who is considered by the West a propagandist,
00:48:04.000who is considered by Russia as a journalist.
00:48:07.000You get your martyr, you keep Dugin's voice.
00:48:11.000You amplify Dugin's voice with a major story about how he's now a victim targeted by the excesses of the West.
00:48:19.000Now you've exemplified his message, amplified his message, and created a martyr all at the same time.
00:48:24.000It's the worst possible thing for escalation.
00:48:26.000Well, unless you're Putin and you want to get the Russian people excited about attacking Ukraine, because if they think... That's exactly what I'm saying.
00:48:50.000I'm picturing Putin going to Alexander and being like, I'm so sorry about your daughter and then making full eye contact and Alexander knowing that Putin killed her and just look at Adam like, thank you, sir.
00:49:07.000I think in some ways we believe that Vladimir Putin, and for good reason, is like an intense leader who has committed crimes that like the West finds horrifying.
00:49:19.000But I don't think that There would be any benefit, especially if we already think this guy is unruly, then like being like, and then I killed your daughter, like, they deemed him unruly, how do we know he's not gonna flip and be like, I hate Putin now, you know what I mean?
00:49:31.000Like, it doesn't do anything for Putin to try and antagonize or play with a variable that isn't dependable, if they really do believe he's unruly.
00:49:40.000I think that I mean, to me, the most straightforward answer is, like, this was an attempted assassination.
00:49:47.000I haven't read enough to know where Dugan was in relation to the car.
00:49:53.000To me, it makes more sense that they are trying to both be aggressive and also passive-aggressive at the same time, and they see taking out his daughter as an aggressive move while still being able to say, well, we're not the aggressors in this war.
00:50:07.000So to your point, Ian, you're saying, you know, it's like you're imagining Putin looking me in the eyes, and it's very Hollywood-esque.
00:50:12.000My counterpoint to that would be, The reality is likely some fat middle-aged Ukrainian dude with a couple bombs like waddling over to the car and then like slapping it with duct tape and then walking away and then waiting for it again and then pressing a button and going oh and like running away like scraggly dudes no like I'm not imagining you know spetsnaz like commandos like going in and like the earpieces and they're like do it and then it's probably it's probably it's roguish it's guerrilla stuff it's probably like hobo looking dudes you know who are angry who are zealous and
00:51:08.000I don't even like the word probable now because war fog is so, it's ripe for disillusionment and you want to trick people and you want to create that.
00:51:18.000So the most obvious answer a lot of times in war is not the right answer.
00:51:22.000The open field that looks like the best path is probably the kill zone.
00:51:26.000So you don't want to go through it kind of thing.
00:51:29.000And I'm gonna wait and see if they use this as a reason to go harder in Ukraine, then that's like, well... Russia is saying Ukraine did it.
00:52:01.000The Federation, which is the main characters, are being defeated by... they're slowly being pushed back, and they're losing the war to the Dominion.
00:52:09.000There's another race called the Romulans, and they're typically... there's an armistice between the Federation and the Romulans.
00:52:31.000So the commander stages a false flag where he blows up a senator in a spaceship and plants evidence to make it seem, I could be getting this wrong, but something like this, makes it seem like the Dominion did it, forcing the Romulans to join the war on the side of the Federation.
00:52:46.000Now that we've gotten the fictional fun writing out of the way, there's a very real possibility that the goal here was a false flag and it was to rally the Russian people saying, look, they killed this young woman.
00:54:11.000They'll write the history for us, the history books, and then they'll let us read them.
00:54:14.000With all the details, don't even worry about it.
00:54:16.000Do you think that the Russians are going to just end up taking the eastern part of Ukraine, get access to the Red Sea, and then it'll be over?
00:54:41.000And not, of course, it doesn't even end with this, right?
00:54:43.000There's so many examples in history where it's still unclear what exactly happened, who gained,
00:54:50.000who lost, who was behind, sort of who was pulling the strings to create a series of events.
00:55:00.000It certainly does have the feel of that, that, you know, not an accident.
00:55:04.000I mean, it could have been, and I agree that that's sort of the simplest answer, you know, Occam's razor.
00:55:10.000But, boy, it seems awfully dastardly to just have a simple explanation.
00:55:16.000Let's jump to another hard segue and jump back to the medical stuff.
00:55:21.000It was a bit tough, I'll just, you know, as an aside, because we've got, you know, obviously big stories with Fauci's resignation, but also the war, and they're, like, very distinct, and so, like, trying to segue between them is not really possible.
00:55:35.000But we'll jump to this one from the post-millennial.
00:55:38.000Seattle Children's Hospital offers medicalized gender transition to nine-year-olds.
00:55:43.000Quote, we accept new patients ages 9 to 16, the site reads, patients ages 17 and older, and patients who have not yet started puberty will be directed to community resources.
00:55:53.000This is part of a long-standing story.
00:57:31.000The data, you know, people, advocates say that, oh, this is the standard of care and it helps people, you know, it makes them less likely to commit suicide and things like that.
00:57:42.000But the data actually don't show that at all.
00:57:45.000So for, we did a members only segment where we read detransitioner statements.
00:57:53.000And there were a lot of teenage women, because I think it's like overwhelmingly teenage girls who are getting these surgeries, double mastectomies and things like that.
00:58:01.000At least there was actually one study from the NIH we pulled up showing that 90% of what they reviewed were double mastectomies on females.
00:58:10.000And the average age I think was like 15 or something like that.
00:58:13.000So we read these stories where they're suicidal.
00:58:26.000I think there are kids who are transgender.
00:58:28.000And I think we have to pay attention to, there was one article I read last week from Psychology Today.
00:58:35.000A PhD researcher saying, we know that phthalates and PCBs are hormone disruptors.
00:58:42.000He cited a study showing that certain birth control had a masculinizing effect on female fetuses, on their brains, and it resulted in women who preferred the company of women and did not prefer child-rearing and things like that.
00:58:57.000And so that point was, there's an environmental factor coming from the chemicals and the pharmaceuticals we use that is likely contributing to this.
00:59:14.000But this does mean there are going to be trans kids.
00:59:17.000And how do we effectively solve for this problem?
00:59:19.000How do we make sure these kids are going to be happy, healthy, not suicidal?
00:59:23.000And the issue seems to be The accepted medical treatment across the country in the United States is at odds with what Europe is now doing, with the Scandinavian countries who have rejected all of this stuff.
00:59:32.000And the end result for a lot of these people, I'm not saying all of them, we're seeing them post online saying after undergoing these surgeries and these medical treatments, they are worse than they were before.
00:59:46.000We want to make sure that kids who are suffering from dysphoria or whatever the issue may be, hormone disruptors, be it the case, how do we help them when you've got these extreme policies that are all going in one way and ignoring the science that we can see in other places?
01:00:19.000But that is a different issue than what to do about in terms of medical or surgical therapies and standards of professional care.
01:00:29.000And that's the issue that Florida is focused on.
01:00:33.000And standards of professional care, you know, it's just, I've actually, I mean, I, you know, COVID before this, like I was a mainstream doctor, researcher, very mainstream, right?
01:00:45.000I, you know, I, Like, and I did, you know, fortunately I did well, but I was, there was nothing controversial about me.
01:00:53.000And since COVID, it's just opened my eyes to examples of medical organizations, just completely misleading people.
01:02:04.000Well, off-label means that, you know, the FDA, when they approve a drug, they approve it for specific indications.
01:02:13.000If a drug company wants to expand the indications, you know, they have to provide data, give it to the FDA, and the FDA has to approve it for that new indication.
01:02:26.000So my point here is, And without mentioning any other treatments other than this, because, you know, my point is, there are mainstream narratives that if you mention off-label use on some drugs, you're a dangerous conspiracy theorist.
01:02:42.000Meanwhile, the narrative from the establishment is to actively promote this particular off-label use, which we are seeing ramifications of, and they're kind of devastating for a lot of these kids.
01:02:52.000So, ultimately, I think, you mentioned it, the hypocrisy, the lies and all that, it's all here.
01:02:58.000My question is, what is Florida doing differently?
01:03:01.000And so I guess I wanted to get this very much at the beginning.
01:03:05.000I watched the live stream where the medical board was discussing this.
01:04:26.000Not just that, we have 37,000, almost 40,000 people on a forum, D-Trans,
01:04:32.000where there are prominent posts every day of people saying they are suicidal now.
01:04:39.000I don't want these people to feel that way I want them to be happy and healthy and we got to figure out how to help them and this certainly is not resulting in that Well, there was a woman who spoke at the Florida Board of Medicine during the public comment section.
01:04:51.000Her name was, I think, Sophia Galvin, and she specifically talked about her experience, like, as a minor being encouraged, not, I don't want to say encouraged, but she was, when she decided that she wanted to transition, her school was supportive.
01:05:05.000She was the president of their LGBT community.
01:05:08.000She was encouraged to undergo a mastectomy.
01:05:10.000She went on years of testosterone and was not happy or afterwards and through spiritual and personal growth ultimately decided to de-transition and is now a really strong advocate against this.
01:05:21.000I thought her testimony there was really powerful.
01:05:26.000I mean it was interesting to me That when it was, I think, the American Academy of Pediatrics decided to sort of block the issue.
01:05:34.000They had doctors saying that they wanted to talk about it and they suppressed the motion.
01:05:38.000All of the doctors there were pointing to studies from Europe that were like, look, I think it's Finland just went back to saying the first treatment for minors who are experiencing gender dysphoria is to go through psychotherapy.
01:05:52.000There's a tremendous amount of gaslighting.
01:05:55.000Sweden this year released, they've been doing this for years, longer than we have in the United States, these gender transition therapies.
01:06:02.000They released their equivalent of sort of the NIH released a new guidance this year and they said they're not going to do it anymore for children because they just didn't know whether they were doing more harm than good.
01:06:15.000They literally said that, but you have doctors and some in Florida who say that, no, we know better and we're helping every patient that we see who undergoes this.
01:06:26.000I think, have you read about endocrine disruptors and hormone disruptors?
01:06:38.000There was a birth control women would take it and in the rare chance taking it.
01:06:42.000They still got pregnant It was having a masculinizing effect on on their fetuses.
01:06:45.000And if it was a female, you know, it was it was causing issues I think when you look at the the great words of Alex Jones, they're turning the freaking frogs gay and But to get more specific and not play the silly game, he was talking about, I think it's a pesticide called Atrazine, we've talked about this before.
01:07:02.000There was a study, this was like 10 years ago I think, showing that it was interfering with the endocrine systems of frogs, turning ovaries into testes, testes into ovaries, causing population collapse.
01:07:16.000I see stories like that, and I'm like, yeah, we've long known that there are, like, hormones in our drinking water in cities, and plastics are leeching into our water, or, you know, some people have argued that soy is doing these things, although I'm not sure that's correct.
01:07:30.000But okay, there's probably serious hormones and hormone disruptors being consumed and affecting kids who are developing.
01:07:37.000So when Bill Maher says, they're in California, they're not in Ohio, either we're shaming them or creating them, I'm like, the argument from Bill misses a big picture there.
01:07:53.000It sounds like he's making the point that it's trendy in California, and it probably is.
01:07:57.000But my point here is, it could be that California uses specific chemicals in agriculture that Ohio doesn't, and it is causing these children to become, you know, have hormonal imbalance or disruption in utero, which results in trans kids.
01:08:14.000That's something we absolutely need to talk about considering the science is there to show that's a possibility.
01:08:18.000So, that being said, I think what we're seeing is a mix.
01:08:22.000I think we're probably seeing a natural phenomenon of people who are transgender.
01:08:26.000I think it probably naturally exists in humans, to some degree.
01:08:29.000I think we're seeing a large uptick in trans kids, probably because of the pesticides, the chemicals, the pharmaceuticals, as these other studies have pointed out.
01:08:37.000And I also think we're seeing social trends, which affect some kids.
01:08:40.000So the problem is if you approach this with a one-size-fits-all, start with the surgery, then you're going to wrap up kids who do not need this and create suicidal teenagers.
01:08:51.000We probably need to approach this and figure out what is the underlying cause of the gender dysphoria in this child.
01:08:56.000Is it a social issue or is it a naturally, you know, a developmental issue?
01:09:00.000I hear you, and I think that it's definitely an interesting scientific question, but I think it's probably not the priority.
01:09:16.000You look at and I totally agree with you frankly, you know, I mean we try and eat organic as much as possible But it's it's really sad how much junk like poison really in terms of some of the pesticides and some of them are hormone disrupting and some of them increase the risk of cancer that get into food and then you've got you know, their financial interest to try and maintain a The use of these chemicals but you look at Europe and my understanding is that they don't use they don't nearly use nearly the type of the intensity of pesticides that we use and they have also seen in some areas the same explosive growth in terms particularly in girls who feel like they should be boys.
01:09:56.000So, you know, I hear you and I think that area is important, but I don't think that's what, you know, that's not what the focus ought to be.
01:10:09.000I think it's likely that there's a substantial social component and it's, you know, the curves in terms of the growth, it's just not really consistent with, like for example, one of the things that's been noticed is that the age of puberty was changing, right?
01:10:25.000It was getting lower for different age groups and that was a sort of a gradual process and that's kind of how biological processes tend to be, right?
01:10:50.000We've somehow reached a critical mass.
01:10:52.000We're like, you can eat salt, but if you get too much salt, it will kill you.
01:10:55.000Like you can't do over salt will destroy your body.
01:10:57.000So like if the now the levels of phthalates are, we just hit the ceiling of what we can handle.
01:11:05.000I'm not trying to prescribe a treatment based on the idea.
01:11:08.000What I'm simply trying to say is that, for one, I oppose sex changes for kids.
01:11:14.000I think you've got to be 18 before you start doing this stuff.
01:11:17.000There is a question about, you know, the limits on when government can intervene to stop parents from engaging in certain medical treatments.
01:11:24.000But at a certain point, you know, I'm just like values over where, you know, My values are we don't give kids sex change surgeries.
01:11:33.000That's where it is for me, for whatever reason.
01:11:35.000But my point is, there's likely a natural phenomenon of causing gender dysphoria.
01:11:41.000Now, I'm not saying we should be giving kids sex change surgeries because of it.
01:11:44.000We clearly look at the Scandinavian countries, they're not doing that anymore.
01:11:47.000But I think the issue of the social factor is also obviously playing a role, whether it's, you know, you're saying it's explosive, so that's likely the case.
01:11:56.000Either way, that's evidence enough that we should not be doing this to kids.
01:11:59.000To Ian's point, I think it's entirely possible there's a combination of, we were seeing hormone disruptors in our food supply, plastics or whatever, increasing, but also serious social discouragement from anyone mentioning it.
01:12:16.000You know, the left says there's always been trans people, and the reason there's a massive explosion of them is because now it's finally okay for them to speak up.
01:12:26.000It could be that in the past 10 years, past 20 years, we've massively increased the amount of PCBs, phthalates, what is it, polychloride something?
01:13:09.000Is it because you have moms like a generation of moms who've been on birth control for longer and that disrupts their hormones which disrupts how their fetus I mean I don't know anything about medical science so this is all speculation on my part.
01:13:21.000I defer to the doctor but I wonder if Ultimately, we just don't know what causes any of these issues because we are not studying it holistically.
01:13:33.000Like, we are looking at it as social intervention when they reach school, but what if this is something that has to do with mom's nutrition?
01:13:42.000So, what you said earlier resonates with me in terms of, you know, in terms of attention on studying it.
01:13:49.000And I'll tell you that, just to your point, one of the problems, right, with these hot-button issues is that it becomes taboo to even ask the questions, right?
01:14:02.000Looking at what I do know is that pharmaceutical companies are administering for-profit surgeries and chemicals in reaction to whatever is happening.
01:14:13.000There's no incentive to not encourage it.
01:14:15.000If you have kids that you're treating for more and more things, plus when you go on hormones, there are side effects, you take more medication.
01:14:20.000I mean, like, this becomes a mass industry in and of itself.
01:14:23.000Why would you discourage it if you are a pharmaceutical person?
01:14:35.000Well, we pointed out there's an article about Goldman Sachs.
01:14:39.000They said they were advising pharmaceutical companies.
01:14:41.000I think, I could be wrong because we don't have the article pulled up, but they were saying curing diseases is not a long-term, you know, financial gain for us.
01:14:49.000Yeah, yeah, yeah, that like you're better off just treating the symptoms and letting people stay sick, which is just so horrifying.
01:15:25.000This might be a good time to mention, by the way, that there was a study that came out in a good journal about reproductive health and hormones that followed some men after they underwent COVID-19 vaccination with one of the mRNA vaccines.
01:15:43.000And that was followed by a decrease in sperm count and in sperm motility.
01:16:12.000So, the levels at, I can't remember whether it was 12 weeks afterward, the measures are still lower than baseline and at least one of the cells in the, one of the areas in the table was substantially lower than baseline.
01:16:30.000I will just, I'll state, just because we segment, we create segments, so previous statements won't be heard in this one.
01:16:38.000We've got to be careful about single studies.
01:16:41.000When one study comes out and shows something, you need way more than that before you can draw heavy conclusions as to what they mean, correct?
01:17:06.000Ultimately, the truth is one of those studies is accurate.
01:17:11.000I think from what I've seen, there probably is a decrement in the activity and the counts of the sperms.
01:17:20.000Coming back to your point, in terms of these testosterone, So that fits the pattern of something that isn't environmental, some environmental exposure.
01:18:07.000You know, you joke around, but guys, that's actually, I mean, that's a legitimate question, right?
01:18:14.000I mean, you know, to give one example, I don't know if this is correct, but If this is true, but some, you know, I've read, for example, that the increase in people with nearsightedness is related to, you know, the fact that we are looking at screens more and kind of doing close stuff instead of looking things further away or hunting or whatever.
01:18:34.000So, no, I don't, I mean, it's funny, but something real is happening.
01:18:39.000Those testosterone levels are substantially lower than they were in the past.
01:18:42.000Have you seen the infamous Try Guys video?
01:19:05.000You know, from the top looking down, if someone's in the computer all day, that's kind of like them telling biology, you're not going to need my sperm.
01:20:50.000This one is a greater male variability hypothesis states that among men, there'll be a greater variation in physical traits as opposed to women.
01:21:00.000And that's because, you know, men, the best, the strongest, the most successful will reproduce with the women, right?
01:21:07.000And so if you have a wide, if you have zero IQ to a thousand IQ, That wide range allows the best of the best to have stronger and better children and to try and fight, you know, fight for the women and then women can choose whichever man is better or the, you know, depending on what year it is, if it's the caveman era, it's not so pretty for the women.
01:21:29.000But so, in that, the idea basically is, I forgot what I was starting on, now that we're talking about greater males.
01:21:38.000The idea is that among the greater variability of males, the Y chromosome changes substantially.
01:21:45.000So, you know, to create a higher chance of mutations and alterations in the human body.
01:21:51.000And then the failure mutations cease to exist, die off, don't have kids.
01:21:55.000The successful mutations end up having kids.
01:21:57.000Feminists have taken this to say, oh, because the Y chromosome is smaller now than it was before or whatever, that means men will eventually disappear instead of, well, the reality is it could get bigger and larger and just come back in force.
01:22:28.000You know, I'll tell you that I haven't heard of, I'm not familiar with that sort of theory.
01:22:34.000I'll tell you what kind of along the same lines is concerning are individuals who believe that the differences between boys and girls don't have a natural root.
01:22:50.000And I've read these people's writings and they're just completely, they're disconnected from reality because boys and girls are different.
01:22:59.000Oh don't get me started man, you know.
01:23:00.000I read this study once that said at birth, like within 24 hours, female infants and male infants react to things differently.
01:23:09.000Like female infants are much more interested in faces and male infants are much more likely to be looking at like what's beeping.
01:24:03.000So Tony Hawk was like 30 when he landed the first 900 which is two and a half spins Followed by a 12 year old boy to the first full three rotations adding an extra half spin to it Now you've got little kids in the single digits landing this once insane move No girls No girls.
01:24:24.000But I mean, it's anecdotal, but maybe it's a little bit more than that if you're doing an observational study, and you take a look at all of the ten-year-old boys and girls who have been skating for the same amount of time, and you wonder why it is that even before puberty, boys are landing historical feats in skateboarding and the girls don't come close.
01:24:43.000And when I say don't come close, I mean with all due respect.
01:24:48.000When you watch tennis, I couldn't tell you the difference.
01:24:51.000If I see two guys playing tennis, I see them hitting the ball.
01:24:54.000I see two men play tennis, I see them hitting the ball.
01:24:58.000You show anyone skateboarding, and you show them a 12-year-old boy jumping a 70-foot gap, then going up a 25-foot-tall wall, a half pipe, quarter pipe, and landing a 1080, 45 feet up in the air, and you're going, wow!
01:25:14.000And then you watch the girls skate it, and they don't do it at all because it's too advanced.
01:25:19.000And at the same age, with the same year's skateboarding, there's clearly something there.
01:25:26.000The first thing that's really obvious is fast-switch muscles as a result of prenatal testosterone, which is, as my understanding, a huge factor in muscle development.
01:25:38.000This idea that if you give these sex changes to these children, or hormonal therapies, before they hit puberty, they can become the other, you know, at least to a greater degree, passing, whatever they want to call it.
01:25:52.000That's all in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.
01:25:54.000The issue is, even before puberty, from birth, there are distinct physical differences that are very obvious and discernible between males and females.
01:26:03.000I mean, you would know better than that.
01:26:05.000I always think about this tweet that I saw and it was a dad being like, there was a there was a time and it probably still true, but when it was really big to be like, you got to you got to give your kids not like a mixed array of gender toys.
01:26:21.000So if you have a daughter, buy her Barbies, but also buy her Tonka trucks.
01:26:23.000And if you have a son, get him a play kitchen as well as like tools or whatever it is to encourage you know not being trapped in gender stereotypes and this dad was like oh i did it and he takes a picture and it's his daughter who has tucked her tonka trucks into bed into like a barbie bed because for whatever reason like
01:26:40.000The trucks are her babies and she's going to take care of them and that is really inherent.
01:26:44.000This dad is actively trying to not reinforce gender stereotypes and she's doing it anyways.
01:26:48.000I think physiologically and in the brain there are clear differences from an early age and it is confusing for children to be told, well you shouldn't behave that way because it's sort of bad in a way that is complicated to explain to you.
01:27:00.000I don't know why this also occurred to me.
01:27:01.000One of the things I think about the Try Guy video when they test their testosterone, I don't know a ton about them, but I know that the only, the guy who scored the highest on the test, not that it's like a winning, but sort of winning, is the only one who's married.
01:27:15.000And he might still be, I'm not sure, but like at the time he was the only married guy.
01:27:20.000So, testosterone marriage correlation here?
01:27:22.000So the question is, was getting married what caused his testosterone to go up, or is it because he had high testosterone he got this marriage?
01:27:29.000Or are our marriage rates falling because our testosterone rates are falling?
01:28:26.000High testosterone correlates to the way you present, right?
01:28:29.000Like, I don't know if this is true, but someone told me once that men going bald is actually a sign of high testosterone in men.
01:28:36.000And so, like, there are things that socially we wouldn't necessarily think Think of that we are subtly picking up on the way people present or, you know, you probably can do this better.
01:28:45.000I don't like quoting medical advice in front of a doctor.
01:28:49.000Speaking from experience, the baldness thing is sensitivity to, I think, DHT.
01:29:18.000What I will contribute to this conversation is that we've got three boys, and we do exactly that.
01:29:24.000You know, whatever, like, we just let them play with what they want, right?
01:29:29.000So what some of these people believe is that, well, it's all a construct.
01:29:35.000Boys only like, you know, they like the toy cars because that's all you give them, and girls like the dolls because that's all you give them, and obviously there are exceptions to everything.
01:29:43.000But that is literally factually incorrect.
01:29:47.000Yes, I think the right thing to do is to let your kids play what they want, because guess what?
01:29:52.000That's who they are, and you can fight it as long as you want, but that will never change.
01:29:56.000And so you ought not fight it, and you should go with whoever they are.
01:29:59.000There's something interesting to be said about not knowing things exist, they can't ask for it.
01:30:07.000So what we do is we let them play with what they want It just so turns out that you know One of our boys likes this type of toy the other way and they all you know, they all like kind of boy stuff But um, you know, so anyway, I agree with letting them play with whatever they want Yeah.
01:30:22.000I think it's funny that there are like, you know, girls play with dolls and boys play with action figures.
01:30:30.000I had Barbies growing up for a little while and all of my brother's G.I.
01:30:34.000Joes would occasionally come by and either murder my Barbies or marry them.
01:30:37.000It was really hard to tell what would happen.
01:30:38.000I want to encourage people not to, well, one of the things I'm concerned with is that people will overcompensate with this conversation of testosterone and then go for the high tea, because I think a balanced tea.
01:30:47.000You see, I think John McAfee, I don't want to put the guy on blast, John, if you're still out there, I love you, man.
01:30:52.000What do you mean if he's still out there?
01:31:10.000What I do recommend is that people eat as clean as possible in terms of avoiding the, you know, pesticides, eating as organic as possible, which, like, used to be how all food was, but now you actually have to go seek it out, and exercising, right?
01:31:24.000You know, some resistance training, too.
01:31:26.000I mean, you know, that's probably as good as you can do overall these days.
01:31:32.000All right, we're gonna go to Super Chats in like one second because YouTube keeps crashing on us, so we found a new way to read Super Chats.
01:31:40.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com.
01:32:02.000Raymond G. Stanley Jr., what's up, man?
01:32:03.000He says, hey guys, just wanted to thank you again for having Mike Glover on IRL and Uncensored are worth a second, IRL and Uncensored are worth a second watch.
01:33:11.000I just want to know if Harvard and Yale are like, please come to our medical schools, and if that's going to be the sign that they are no longer credible institutions.
01:33:20.000Not that they are, I'm just suggesting.
01:33:22.000They're already recommending booster shots in healthy young people, so how credible is that?
01:33:29.000John Diaz says, Tim, lately you've been saying you guys are winning, you can beat the establishment in your vids, and I wanted to thank you because you're right!
01:33:35.000I had lost hope, but you helped me see it.
01:33:37.000Yeah, um, in one week, I mean, this is like the greatest white pill moment.
01:33:41.000Liz Cheney loses her election, then we get, uh, Brian Stelter is fired from CNN, they cancel the show, you know, fired, whatever, colloquial term, or I mean, uh, opinion, let's call it that.
01:34:21.000I liked your idea of, like, tell all your friends you're gonna get pizza, but insist that you drive and drive them to the polls really quick.
01:34:50.000No, I worry about Tim generally, but you guys have to admit, it would be sad if the best news site of all time, TimCast.com, could not function because Tim had brain damage.
01:35:01.000WuxiaGameCentral says, you really need to wear a helmet.
01:35:03.000A car once kicked up a rock that flew at my head.
01:35:06.000Luckily I was wearing my scooter helmet, got a concussion.
01:35:59.000And so I went up it with some good speed and I accidentally kicked too hard off of the wall because you either jump a little bit before the vert or you wait till the vert.
01:36:25.000I'm never wearing a helmet, says Tim Poole.
01:36:27.000There's the trope of the warrior king that fights with his men for years and then eventually they're like, you have to go back and stay in the capital and we need you alive and smart because you're our leader.
01:37:42.000Alright, I don't know what this means, I'm gonna read it.
01:37:43.000Bruce Maximus says, Hey y'all, I'd like to ask Dr. Latipo whether he has any stance on the seemingly artificial lack of seats in med school.
01:37:51.000I've heard anecdotally there are some 50 qualified applicants per seat.
01:38:09.000There are so many applications for EC.
01:38:13.000People end up going to medical school even kind of out of the country because that's where they get in.
01:38:18.000And it seems to be a problem that's only getting worse and the medical school classes don't expand at the, they don't seem to expand at the rate of applicants.
01:38:27.000But it's regulated and you can run into issues.
01:38:33.000So for example, there are only so many residency spots.
01:38:36.000So if you have, say you double the number of medical students, well maybe half of them won't have anywhere to train when they're done with medical school.
01:39:07.000You know, I'd love to believe that Biden is going to resign or retire and then something happens, but it's just... I mean, I think... I think that's an emergency card.
01:39:16.000Like, if he really couldn't make it, that would make him resign.
01:39:19.000But like, I think they're going to try and make him get through an entire first term.
01:39:23.000I do think a second term is very clearly off the table.
01:39:50.000It was like, a year ago it was supposed to be done, then it got delayed, and then... The framing is going up, so they are building it.
01:39:56.000Maybe in a week or two, the structure will be done, then we gotta do the internals, and it's like...
01:40:00.000But I'm really excited for this because we'll be able to like put a big projector up and play this and just have it running in the background all day and cool stuff like that.
01:40:07.000So I'm very much excited for all that.
01:41:15.000So the bombing may have been right-wing or what?
01:41:18.000There are a lot of left-wing leaning churches.
01:41:20.000I mean, I grew up Episcopalian, and the Episcopalian Church just came out in part in favor of gender-related treatments, both surgical and medical.
01:41:30.000So I don't think that Necessarily clarifies anything.
01:41:33.000I stand by my speculation that this was personal on some level.
01:41:39.000No Saint 317 says, in 2019 a man attacked Kyoto Animation Studio.
01:41:44.000He set fire to the building and stabbed people as he ran out, killing 36 people.
01:43:11.000And who else in your field would he recommend go on IRL?
01:43:18.000Well he's, I enjoy working for him and frankly part of the reason is that it feels more like, I mean I don't know that I've ever felt like I'm working for him.
01:43:34.000He doesn't try and sort of manage or micromanage.
01:43:37.000He's really about getting the job done.
01:43:41.000That's just his focus is the outcome and and not sort of the kind of the the political stuff that Seems to you know that mostly dominates politics in terms of how how politicians Carry themselves and what they do.
01:43:57.000So it's been a lot of fun working with him.
01:43:59.000I I mean I think he is, like I said, he cares about the outcome and it would be great to have someone, it's great to have him and that's why he's been so successful in Florida is that he actually cares about the outcome and doesn't care what people are going to think about unpopular opinions or names they're going to call him or things like that.
01:44:20.000Those are great qualities and those are really great qualities for a leader.
01:45:54.000I mean churches that have liberal factions and like I said there's an Episcopalian church within close proximity.
01:46:00.000You have to like you have to look at the map but like if the federal building is close to what's called like a center of town and there are 10 churches close by there you have to travel 20 minutes on foot three minutes by car to this other church.
01:46:17.000I'm not saying that, but it does feel like if you were against churches that had left-leaning ideology, you could have picked one closer to the other place and made a faster escape.
01:46:42.000The funny thing about pronouns is, like, we use pronouns as generic placeholder words so we don't have to say your name over and over again.
01:46:49.000But if everyone has their own, then we might as well just call you by your name.
01:47:39.000No, I mean, you know, it's, it's, it's, you know, some of these, some of these kind of agendas, they start in one place, but they're really headed somewhere else.
01:47:51.000And that's a, that's an example of one.
01:48:22.000All right, Fiend V, for Joe, what is your take on the Florida medical marijuana program and possible legalization in the future, if you could speak on it?
01:48:33.000I mean, so I, in general, Favor people, you know being able to use marijuana if they want But I wouldn't want my kids to use it and it's not The risk-free Medicaid sort of drug that it was portrayed at portrayed as initially So, I don't know if you guys saw these articles.
01:48:56.000So the New York Times Washington Post they were all big pushers of legalization of marijuana and But just recently, like, New York Times has run multiple negative articles about it.
01:49:07.000But basically, oh yeah, in young people.
01:49:09.000So they've run, you know, very prominent articles about how, you know, some individuals kind of develop mental illness, other harms, something called hyperemesis syndrome that we see not infrequently in the hospital.
01:49:53.000So, in other words, you know, the implication is that people are using it and driving and, you know, and unfortunately injuring themselves, injuring other people, having car accidents.
01:50:39.000And I feel like I dodged a bullet because as a kid, I, a lot of the kids I knew that did it in high school were just had hard, hard time paying attention in school.
01:50:46.000Basically their minds, you know, your intelligence goes down, your wisdom might go up, but it's like, you really got to love what you're, Paying attention to if your wisdom's not going up if your intelligence is going down.
01:50:57.000No, I think that's actually an interesting point.
01:51:11.000I mean, the saying is that intelligence is knowing that, or was it knowledge, is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, and wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
01:51:23.000I mean, I would say I would, you know, to get a little bit kind of, um, uh, I dunno, more medical and psychological on this, right?
01:51:31.000So if you take a drug that reduces your inhibitions, that reduces your attachment to sort of held beliefs that you have other beliefs that, you know, that may not be true, that may be false or may be very rigid and usually rigid beliefs aren't, they're usually, there's usually something behind them.
01:51:49.000That's not authentic when individuals have sort of rigid beliefs about things.
01:51:54.000So when you take those away, your sort of clarity I could see, your ability to identify a belief that is more in line with who you might be or what is closer to some truth or insight, that can increase.
01:52:16.000But that's a funky way to say that you're I don't know.
01:52:20.000I'm thinking about this whole wisdom thing.
01:52:56.000Yeah, no, it's not that extreme, but he's definitely out of balance.
01:52:58.000Well, I think we all know people who can quote really interesting things or recite studies or do math in their head, but if you drop them in the middle of anywhere, they would not be able to find their way home because they have no common sense or they're just not able to use the knowledge that they have to make make their life go forward I guess.
01:53:15.000I found with weed and meditation, it's a good combo, because when I would smoke, it would be, I would get, my thoughts would race, so it was more challenging to meditate, and when I could, if I could do it with THC in my system, I was way easier to do it without it, all of a sudden.
01:53:29.000All right, Brian Cooper says, fifth paid comment, will you read it?
01:53:32.000Y'all are against gender surgeries, yet y'all remain quiet about circumcision.
01:53:42.000I will also mention we haven't had any news stories about the prominence of political controversies surrounding circumcision, but I'm against it.
01:54:51.000On the other side, there's pretty good research that shows that it reduces the risk of sexually transmitted illnesses when people get older.
01:55:19.000I mean, I think this is kind of a uniquely American debate because we have a blend of cultures in America, whereas like if you are European, like both my parents are European-descended immigrants, you know, it's not a question because culturally it's not as normal for them.
01:55:35.000I remember my parents like having this, telling me they would have this discussion with their friends and being like, it had never even crossed their mind to get a child circumcised because it's just culturally not normal.
01:55:46.000I've got this theory that when it happens, it exposes the nerves at the end of the penis, basically, you know, and then makes people more sensitive to sex and then more aggressive.
01:55:55.000It actually cuts like half the nerves off.
01:55:58.000Are you saying that this is where the testosterone is going?
01:56:22.000I like that their wisdom is the application of knowledge.
01:56:25.000If you can, but the problem is, if you're if you don't have high intelligence, you get the knowledge wrong, and then you apply it properly, but you got the wrong piece.
01:56:45.000You guys, all of that, you know what I say about losing a dog is all that pain you're feeling is all of the love for your dog being expressed all at one time.
01:56:55.000And you're gonna remember that feeling forever.
01:59:08.000We'll grab one more here from Waffle Sensei.
01:59:11.000He says, wisdom is animal handling, insight, medicine, perception, survival, and whatever else the DM allows you to add your proficiency bonus to.
01:59:19.000Yeah, I think bluff might be a wisdom check as well.
01:59:21.000You can tell when someone's lying and you can lie yourself.
01:59:24.000Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com.
01:59:31.000We're going to have an amazing members-only show.
01:59:33.000We're going to talk about Florida's policies, COVID, vaccines, and things like that.
01:59:48.000It actually comes out tomorrow, Tim, called Transcend Fear.
01:59:52.000And it's about, you know, just really briefly, personally for me, you know, I It's like a miracle that I'm in the position that I'm in and it started with a traumatic event that I had when I was a kid and long consequences of that that went on for years.
02:00:18.000until I fell in love with my wife and had to actually sort of face them because one
02:00:24.000of the things about love, all of us, you know, many of us have different types of traumatic
02:00:29.000events in our past and all of us experience daily stress and all of these things affect
02:00:37.000And for me, when I fell in love with my wife, it was sort of like a volcano erupting because one of the things about love is that it forces things to the surface.
02:00:51.000And so the things that don't work in your life, well, if you fall in love, you can't just kind of keep them in the closet.
02:00:58.000And that led to, you know, sort of a journey with my wife where I was driving her nuts, and she referred me to different people, and I finally met a guy named Christopher Mayher, who's a former Navy SEAL.
02:01:11.000And he used techniques from Chinese medicine, stuff related to meridians, stuff related to qi and the flow of energy, things that, like, and what that translated into is kind of physical manipulations, verbal stuff, lots of different things.
02:01:28.000And I experienced a priceless transformation that basically let me do what I did in terms of the communication, the thinking, the clear thinking, other things that led to what I'm doing now and will lead to heaven knows what.
02:01:46.000Next, but you know, but that's really the core of the book.
02:01:50.000I talk about kind of leadership and making decisions under uncertainty and kind of how why decisions were wrong and should have been recognized as being wrong at the time they were made.
02:02:02.000and how leaders can avoid making similar blunders that are quite costly in the future.
