On this week's episode of the Uncensored After Hours show, we're joined by Adam Johnson to talk about the latest in the ongoing saga of the Hunter Biden laptop saga, and the fallout from it. We also hear from Marjorie Taylor Greene, who claims she got SWAT'd again, and we have a new song we're launching at midnight at midnight on midnight at TimCast Records.
00:00:51.000SWATing is when you try to get the SWAT team to show up.
00:00:54.000Now, we were planning on leading with this and talking just about how the escalation's going.
00:00:58.000And then just a moment ago, we got a big breaking story.
00:01:02.000Mark Zuckerberg, I believe it was on Joe Rogan, right?
00:01:04.000Because we're just picking this up right now.
00:01:07.000Mark Zuckerberg said they censored the Hunter Biden laptop story at the request of the FBI.
00:01:13.000There is currently a lawsuit against the government, the U.S.
00:01:16.000government, Democrats, and it is led by a bunch of plaintiffs, including the state of Missouri, arguing that Section 230 is a violation of the First Amendment because it gives broad censorship authority to these platforms and immunities, as well as the Democrats and members of the government directing censorship to these big tech platforms.
00:01:35.000I imagine that they're gonna have to amend that complaint and be like, here's a new exhibit.
00:01:40.000Mark Zuckerberg admitting they censor stories at the behest of the government, of the DOJ.
00:01:58.000Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com, become a member.
00:02:01.000If you'd like to support our work as a member, you'll get access to exclusive segments of the TimCast Uncensored After Hours show at 11 p.m.
00:02:08.000Monday through Thursday, as well as our other shows.
00:03:43.000So just for people who don't know, that means from Getty, which is a photo distribution network, and these people who don't know anything about this saw the photo from Getty Distribution and thought via Getty was a name and they were like, this guy via Getty!
00:05:39.000So the first story we have is actually, you know, we're getting set up for the show.
00:05:42.000And, uh, when, when news breaks right before the show, it's, it's tough.
00:05:46.000Cause you know, I, I'm reading the news up until like four and then I get to exercise and eat.
00:05:50.000And so we're getting up here, we're pulling stories and it's just right before the show.
00:05:53.000We get this clip, Jack Posobiec posted it.
00:05:56.000Breaking Zuckerberg says Facebook limited distribution of the Hunter laptop story based on a general request from the FBI.
00:06:04.000We're going to play this clip for you now and hear what Mr. Zuckerberg had to say.
00:06:09.000How do you guys handle things when there's a big news item that's controversial?
00:06:15.000Like, there was a lot of attention on Twitter during the election because of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the New York Post.
00:06:24.000Yeah, so you guys censored that as well?
00:06:26.000So we took a different path than Twitter.
00:06:28.000I mean, basically the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us, some folks on our team, and was like, hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert.
00:06:40.000We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election.
00:06:44.000We have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump of Uh, that's similar to that.
00:07:02.000What we do is we have, um, if something is reported to us as potentially, um, misinformation, important misinformation, we, we also have this third party fact checking program because we don't want to be deciding what's true and false.
00:07:18.000Five or seven days, when it was basically being determined whether it was false, the distribution on Facebook was decreased, but people were still allowed to share it.
00:07:31.000So you could still share it, you could still consume it.
00:07:33.000So when you say the distribution has decreased, how does that work?
00:07:38.000Basically, the ranking in News Feed was a little bit less.
00:07:40.000So fewer people saw it than would have otherwise.
00:07:45.000In other words, Mark Zuckerberg has admitted that the FBI came to them and said, hey, watch out for this Russian misinformation.
00:07:52.000So they went, OK, hey, look, here's a negative story about Biden.
00:07:56.000Let's censor this, because people have to determine whether it's false.
00:07:58.000And people, of course, are their chosen sources.
00:08:03.000I don't want to make it seem like the FBI went to him and said outright, censor the Hunter Biden laptop story, which is kind of what my understanding was, but it's more so they came to them and said, watch out for this kind of misinformation, which triggers Facebook to then say, we're going to censor some of these stories interfering in the election.
00:08:22.000Man, dark days indeed is one way to put it.
00:08:40.000They downranked it in the algorithm, which is a, you know, you could say it's an insidious form of censorship because the people don't even know it's being censored.
00:08:47.000At least when it won't go through, you know it won't go through.
00:09:21.000I'm going to wash my hands of this publicly.
00:09:23.000It's not me that's the bad person in the room.
00:09:25.000It's definitely someone else, and we're not going to tell you who that is and kind of bury that information.
00:09:29.000But censorship is good for us, because how will we know what's true if we're not told what's true?
00:09:35.000You know, I'm one thing I don't like about this is like, Mark, it's not a it's not a publisher, the Facebook's not a publishing platform.
00:09:42.000It's a it's like a general platform that's allowing people to publish their own stuff so that they take I don't know, man, we're in we're in very strange times with new technology.
00:09:50.000So laws and things need to be rewritten.
00:09:52.000This would be like your phone company sending you a notice being like, hey, if you have a phone conversation about Hunter Biden, we're gonna shut your call down.
00:10:00.000But it's different because it's public, so they're downranking its visibility, which is different than not letting you have the phone call.
00:10:20.000They were stopping me from even sharing it between people, which is more so like, you can't call people and tell them this.
00:10:25.000But what if I do a phone call to a conference room?
00:10:28.000Maybe it's a university with a thousand people, you know, sitting in an auditorium and we do a phone call so that everyone can hear what I have to say.
00:10:34.000Yeah, it'd be like them saying, your call is not going to access speakerphones.
00:10:37.000We're not going to let any speakerphones take your calls.
00:10:39.000Only individual people can hear it or something like that.
00:10:42.000I guess the big question is turning the volume down.
00:10:45.000I'll say this too as kind of a, it's just a correction on how I opened.
00:10:50.000My understanding was that the FBI made a request for the Hunter Biden laptop story to be censored.
00:10:54.000What Mark is saying is they gave them a general request about, hey, you should basically, like they basically told Facebook to censor information.
00:11:03.000They said that Russians are trying to interfere.
00:11:07.000I think it was more direct than that, but Mark is clearly trying to downplay what's going on.
00:11:11.000So I just want to make sure we're clear.
00:11:12.000I don't know that the FBI told him to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story explicitly, but the FBI did go to Facebook and said, watch out for this stuff.
00:11:21.000Which they know would result in Facebook censoring tons of information, regardless of where it came from.
00:11:26.000I mean, the fact that the FBI said any information should be under watch is a First Amendment violation, and any action taken after that, I would argue, is Facebook acting on behest of the U.S.
00:11:38.000It's funny, like, we as Americans have First Amendment rights, but do Russians have First Amendment rights when they're in Russia using Facebook that Americans are reading?
00:12:14.000Well, as far as I'm concerned, the FBI stepping in and saying anything to this so-called private company just removes the argument that of course the government's not the one censoring, it's just Facebook saying that you can or can't share this.
00:12:25.000This is 100% the government deciding what people could or should see, and it's not even about Russia at this point because I'm fully convinced the FBI knew that this wasn't Russian disinformation, they just wanted to wink-wink-nudge-nudge Facebook into being like, oh, okay, so we'll keep this on the down-low.
00:12:41.000They say, Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan that Facebook algorithmically censored the Hunter Biden laptop story for seven days based on a general request from the FBI to restrict election misinformation.
00:13:00.000There's got to be some lawsuits or something to stop this because, you know, I was reading recently is that August 2nd, state of Missouri, I think, Gateway Pundit, I think Jim Hoft, several other people are involved in this lawsuit against a bunch of Democrats, Biden, I think Biden and the government.
00:13:14.000saying that Section 230 is a law that gives special clearance to big tech to censor and
00:13:21.000suppress information. But that is only possible because the US government has given them this
00:13:26.000special access, which is a First Amendment violation. I completely agree. You've also
00:13:32.000got stories like Alex Berenson. He, I think it's confirmed now, right?
00:13:36.000He reported this, that the government requested he be censored, specifically.
00:13:40.000And then the government went to Twitter and said, why aren't you censoring this guy?
00:13:43.000And they're like, okay, and they banned him.
00:13:45.000Files a lawsuit, gets his account back.
00:13:57.000We've always considered that the government is taking information and withholding some of it from us, maybe to protect us because we don't know what's best for ourselves.
00:14:04.000And now we're getting more information that's readily accessible to all of us.
00:14:08.000And it's making things spiral because people can go search anything now.
00:14:14.000So if we want to learn about something, we can.
00:14:16.000And I think this is just the veil's being removed and people are getting so much information that it's hard to stop it.
00:14:22.000So we're seeing these hard stops being put in place.
00:14:25.000It's like, you ever see one of those cartoons where they're on a boat and then like a hole breaks and the guy sticks his finger in the hole and another hole breaks and then his toes and then his tongue and then his eye goes in?
00:14:35.000They can't stop the flow of information and they keep trying to and it's just getting, it's making things crazier and it's making things worse.
00:14:40.000Well, even so, it was the Sam Harris problem anyway.
00:14:43.000They had decided that this is our guy.
00:16:17.000So you've successfully broken half of the people, and they'll just parrot whatever they need to parrot, whether they believe it or not.
00:16:21.000I've got a bunch of friends that, you know, a couple years ago, they had different stances, and we could have a rational conversation, walk away and shake hands, but we can't do that anymore.
00:17:26.000It's about people feeling like, I just need to say what they tell me to say because I don't want trouble.
00:17:32.000So the example that I think really hits the nail on the head that I've brought up several times now ad nauseam is a woman asking three other men, what is a woman?
00:17:41.000And again, I think it was, I should probably check who said this, I think it was Matt Walsh.
00:17:44.000These young women know what a woman is, but they're trying to reconcile that with what they're supposed to say it is.
00:17:49.000And so they end up stuttering and stammering and making no sense.
00:17:52.000Because it's like, there's an obvious logic, and then there's, but I'm not allowed to say it.
00:17:57.000Yeah, the fascist word is one of those.
00:17:59.000Like, I feel like I had a buddy told me he said I was supporting fascism by doing this show.
00:18:04.000And then the other night we had Joe Latipo on, who's the Surgeon General of Florida.
00:18:08.000And I'm like, how is interviewing the Surgeon General of a state fascism?
00:18:15.000But like people, this whole like Trump is a fascist narrative is like, if you don't, I think if you don't fall into that, then you start to get left behind.
00:18:48.000I think that that kind of helps bring us to where we are.
00:18:51.000But but a big component of it is just that you can really see now who.
00:18:58.00010, 20 years ago you were talking about people who are friends.
00:19:01.000Now you know who actually was your friend, who actually believed what they were saying, and now you can tell who was just saying what they thought was socially acceptable because they wanted something.
00:19:12.000Yeah, maybe it's always been this way, but social media is almost like a room you can go vent in.
00:19:18.000And now you're just allowed to say it.
00:19:20.000Well, it's not real there, but I mean, it's real.
00:19:22.000You have your opinions, you post them.
00:19:24.000And now we know people for who they are.
00:20:08.000We just kind of chatted about what happened.
00:20:09.000So, uh, you're the podium guy and this is an egregious, incorrect statement because it was a lectern and everybody is telling us that in the chat.
00:20:19.000But, uh, so, you know, for those that aren't familiar, there's this famous photo that comes out of the January 6 riots or whatever.
00:20:25.000It's you and you're carrying a lectern while smiling and waving to the camera.
00:20:39.000So, um, I wasn't really into politics a few years ago.
00:20:42.000I'm busy raising kids, changing diapers and doing common core math, you know, and, um, COVID struck and I started listening as I had more free time.
00:20:49.000I was just trying to find a hobby and, uh, you know, followed the elections and everything, you know, listen to a bunch of stuff.
00:20:56.000And, uh, I had never voted before I voted and, uh, I voted in 2019.
00:21:01.000For the first time, I registered independent forever.
00:21:03.000I just didn't really have much stake in getting out there and doing something because my life was pretty good.
00:21:08.000I listened to what was going on, started getting some opinions, some ideas, and I decided I'm going to go to a Trump rally.
00:22:58.000When I first got there, they were kind of just arguing back and forth, you know, protest rhetoric, you know, you've betrayed us, you know, defend our country, this and that.
00:23:06.000And at some point, just things popped off.
00:23:09.000You know, one side started pushing, the other side pushed back.
00:23:12.000There was tear gas, mace, there was a flashbang at a point, you know, but people were hitting cops.
00:25:33.000And this group heads down towards, I think it's the Senate chamber where they were.
00:25:37.000And so I kind of tag along with the group, you know, I'm texting my wife, texting my friends, you know, like, oh, I'm inside, you know, and like, you should leave.
00:25:43.000I'm like, ah, I'll leave in a minute, I'll leave in a minute, I'll get some more pictures.
00:25:47.000So we get down to the doors and, you know, they're banging on the doors and stuff and kind of just, you know, looking around, taking pictures.
00:25:53.000I talked to a guy next to me and I'm like, what are they doing?
00:26:25.000And the cop tells me, well, you know, go down the hallway, take a right, there's an officer out there, he's taking people exiting outside, so just go over there, you'll be done.
00:26:34.000And that was my experience inside the Capitol.
00:26:36.000And so then you leave, you leave the Capitol, and then you had no idea, did you have any idea what was about to come in terms of the national attention, the photo?
00:26:45.000I knew a photographer had taken my picture because, you know, professional photography is pretty easy to spot, you know, but I didn't think anything would come of it.
00:26:51.000I thought, well, I trespassed, you know, worst case scenario, I can't come back again.
00:26:54.000But I got my photos, I saw the building, I'm good.
00:27:17.000I had it charging in my backpack on a battery pack, and I made it outside, got a couple hot dogs, was walking back to the hotel, and turned the phone back on after it hit like 10-15%, and my phone just started blowing up, man.
00:27:29.000Couldn't even use it because there were so many messages coming in.
00:27:32.000Eventually I put on airplane mode so I could go through and see what was going on.
00:27:36.000It struck me because there were so many people like, dude, you're famous, there are memes of you.
00:27:41.000I was like, well that didn't go as planned.
00:27:46.000Before I even made it back to my hotel, I was getting recognized on the street.
00:27:50.000When did you find out that you were in serious trouble?
00:27:54.000So I made it back to the hotel room and it was when I started watching CNN and CNN had told the people that this is an insurrection.
00:28:03.000These people should go to prison for 20 years, you know, and then I found someone got shot and I'm like, Oh my Lord, that's, that's really, really bad.
00:28:11.000And things started devolving from there.
00:28:13.000When did you first make contact with law enforcement?
00:28:16.000How did it come to be that you end up facing charges?
00:28:19.000Well, I'm friends with quite a few Leos, so I called a couple.
00:28:23.000I'm like, hey, is this going to be a big deal?
00:28:26.000And they did allude to, they did say, they're probably going to want to have a conversation with you at some point, because what you did is what they're saying you did.
00:28:34.000And so I called a couple of friends of mine, a good buddy of mine.
00:30:09.000The AUSA, which is the Assistant United States Attorney's Office, was already in contact with my attorneys and vice versa, and they were talking about these are the charges we're bringing, and he's going to have to go to jail until we figure something out.
00:30:21.000What were the initial charges they wanted to get you on?
00:30:23.000Uh, it was, uh, violent entry, which is a misdemeanor.
00:30:26.000It was, um, entering and remaining, uh, restricted building, which is a misdemeanor.
00:30:50.000I get my voting rights back, which are very important to me.
00:30:53.000And I also get my firearms back, which are equally important to me, which is good.
00:30:57.000I did 75 days in a federal prison camp.
00:31:02.000And then I did a $5,000 fine and I got 200 hours of community service.
00:31:06.000But I'm enjoying my community service.
00:31:08.000What kind of stuff are you doing as community service?
00:31:10.000I am working for an organization called Adopt-A-Cop, which was founded for, it was after George Floyd, I believe it was after George Floyd, I get to read the statement again, but basically training cops in jiu-jitsu to be able to seduce suspects in a non-lethal manner.
00:31:27.000So I work with law enforcement officers doing training programs, rolling with them.
00:31:31.000I've got a big function I'm organizing in a couple weeks I can't talk about yet, but I'm enjoying it.
00:31:43.000Is that not a big cell block with razor wire, or what does that mean?
00:31:48.000So, I didn't know anything about prison before this started, so my idea of prison is like Shawshank Redemption, you know?
00:31:55.000And Green Mile, so I was not super thrilled about it.
00:31:58.000They have, I guess, four... I think it's four different levels of prison.
00:32:01.000So there's, like, max security, where, like, the murderers go.
00:32:05.000There's medium, which is, you know, not as bad, you know, scalable.
00:32:09.000And then there's low, and then there's camp.
00:32:12.000And they place you based on your charge, and there's, like, five different levels of things where it's, like, you know, or you have gang ties, you know, is your... is it a violent record, how many times you've been arrested, recidivism, and... there was something else, can't recall.
00:33:21.000And, uh, you make your way into the Capitol kind of just bumbling and not really understanding what was going on around you.
00:33:26.000Like a little bit, like you knew there was fighting, you knew there was trespassing, but you were just kind of like, Oh, I left the group of people who were fighting because that's not what I am.
00:33:38.000So I went and I found something else to do.
00:33:41.000I think, you know, the reason why I want to hit on that is obviously the narrative is insurrection and all that, and while I certainly think there are people who are rioting and, you know, trying to do something.
00:33:50.000The reason I don't like the phrase insurrection is that the idea that several hundred people can stand in a building and change a government is, like, absurd.
00:35:48.000But I tell them, you can't just call all the Black Lives Matter all rioters, because there are a lot of people there that were just protesting, you know?
00:35:56.000And so I won't blanket statement that at all.
00:35:58.000But I want the same courtesy also given to some of us that were there, that were just protesting.
00:36:02.000But there is still, at these Black Lives Matter protests, and on January 6th, there are people who... I guess January 6th is a little bit different, but for these protests where Black Lives Matter, for instance, in Portland, were throwing firebombs, there were people who were providing cover, whether intentionally or not, and at a certain point, it's kind of like, if you're standing there and you're watching people throw firebombs at a building, and you're like, well, I'm going to remain a part of whatever this is, at a certain point, you are playing a role in that.
00:36:38.000And I want to draw the distinction between the people who were let in by cops and the people who were there watching the fighting or fighting themselves.
00:36:45.000The issue with that is, I certainly don't think you deserve to be called an insurrectionist or be charged with felonies because other people were fighting, but you were part of a riot.
00:36:55.000The police have to deal with you as much as they have to deal with people who are fighting, but the people who are fighting are the ones causing the problem.
00:37:00.000And then, you know, be it Black Lives Matter or January 6th, being part of this big crowd and coming in and coming out is straining the resources to try and stop the violence.
00:37:09.000And I think it's a, I don't know why they're putting so many reasons towards it.
00:37:12.000I mean, there's plenty of other things that I think most people would rather have solved than a couple of people who are walking around taking selfies.
00:37:21.000You know, that photo of you is iconic.
00:37:24.000Everybody's seen it, and it's, you know, the look on your face is confidence.
00:37:29.000So for the left, they view you as this arrogant guy who is engaging in this behavior with no remorse, and on the right, they view it as defiance.
00:37:46.000I mean, you can feel multiple emotions at the same time, you know.
00:37:48.000So there's part of me where it's like, holy cow, look where I am, you know.
00:37:52.000So a smile will definitely come from that, where it's, you're witnessing history and things are going crazy.
00:37:57.000So maybe it's a nervous smile, you know, maybe it's anxious, but at the same time, I mean, there's also fear that I'm feeling at the same time, because where is our country going and what the heck is happening here?
00:38:07.000So you somehow managed to, you got approval to come on the show, is that what happened?
00:38:15.000I requested my PO office, it's probably gonna get me in trouble, it's fine.
00:38:19.000I requested my PO office, hey, I'd like to go travel to do this podcast, it's, you know, I watch you guys all the time, I thought that'd be a really good experience.
00:38:27.000And he seemed pretty cool with it up front.
00:38:30.000And the reason I had to ask to travel is because part of my restrictions being on probation or supervised release is I have to stay in the middle district of Florida.
00:39:09.000But He's like, you know, we got some emails we got some information that maybe it's not the best time you do that You know, like they said, you know, you can't make any money right now This would you would be profiting if you can like, oh, no, I'm buying my own plane ticket I'm renting my own car and get my own hotel I mean, I won't even eat food from you guys because I just don't I don't want anything, you know, and and he's like well I
00:39:30.000The timing's also bad, you know, midterms are coming up, you know, you gotta consider your wife's job, you gotta consider she may lose it if you get in the media again, you know.
00:39:38.000They'll write stories about you again, and, you know, the death threats will come, and I'm like, all those things are still happening.
00:39:45.000You know, doing this or not, I still get letters in the mail, you know, threatening my family.
00:39:50.000My wife still gets reviews from patients that are not her patients, giving her one star, messing with her credibility.
00:41:27.000I reached out to my attorneys and they are magicians.
00:41:31.000Within an hour of a phone call and conversation, I won't speak about who they talked to or what they said, I got an email saying, send me your travel itinerary.
00:41:42.000I kind of feel like the email was, if you don't let him speak, the story will be even bigger when you denied him the right to speak.
00:41:49.000I think it's definitely that because they had hinted, well, we'll take it before the judge, you know, a Pontius Pilate effort.
00:41:53.000It's like, we're not telling you no, but we're going to ask the judge if we can go.
00:41:56.000And, um, and I, again, I explained it to my attorneys and he's like, there's no way a judge is going to put his name on, you're not allowed to speak, you know?
00:42:04.000And that's kind of what we chatted about.
00:42:06.000And lo and behold, within an hour, I get an email.
00:42:08.000So here you are, and how have things been since?
00:42:12.000You mentioned you're still getting death threats, people are going after your wife and things like that.
00:43:04.000You know, I have people saying like, I wish you would have taken the lectern and, you know, shoved it, you know, somewhere to this who owns it.
00:43:27.000Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel came out and said, showed my picture that this guy stole a podium, you know, and it was like the day after or something.
00:44:46.000But I said I wanted to revise that because it may actually be more revolutionary.
00:44:49.000You know, James Lindsay mentioned that we're in some kind of revolution.
00:44:52.000You take a look at the splitting factions within law enforcement and the federal government.
00:44:56.000And then I started reading more about Weimar Germany because I've read a little bit.
00:45:01.000And I've read it before about the Beer Hall Push, which is Hitler went into the Munich Beer Hall and then fires a gun in the air and is like, we're taking over!
00:46:26.000You know, with Carrie Lake winning, and it was a nail-biter, because the night before, it looked like she was down a little bit, and everyone was like, no way.
00:46:34.000And the next day, she swept every county, and it's like, ah, okay, there it is.
00:46:52.000Now's the time to go out, rally your friends, go vote, because you are winning.
00:46:55.000Yeah, you know I sense like it's a global revolution is kind of what we're in the middle of right now It's a conscious what I've started YouTube in 2006.
00:47:02.000My channel said a revolution of the mind I found out years later.
00:47:06.000That's what Mao called his And I'm glad I got away from that leftism cult mindset because I was really like family is whatever you're familiar Whatever you want it to be kind of weird, you know, like going that Post-modernist route.
00:47:19.000But I definitely think because of the internet or along with the internet, people around earth are realizing that they're under a boot of totalitarianism.
00:47:26.000A lot of people are and they want out.
00:47:29.000They love the idea of free speech and second amendment rights.
00:47:33.000A lot of people are able to communicate.
00:47:36.000through their governments without their government intervention and are kind of there's a desire for a new world order i mean it's very obvious that the old liberal economic order is is faltering yeah but i think both factions have their own desire for a different type of new world order that fits their own ideologies and i think that's where we are right now Yeah, there's at least two.
00:47:54.000There's so many different ideas of how it could come.
00:47:59.000There's the liberal international economy, and that's the powerful elites, the banking cartels, the IMF, you know, swift payment systems.
00:48:05.000Bank for International Settlements, that's the brand.
00:48:07.000Yeah, then there's the left, and they want a socialist utopian revolution, worker rights.
00:48:12.000And then there's the right, they want a national, you know, re-emergence, nationalist re-emergence of sovereign nations that have international treaties and ties and things like that.
00:48:23.000Yeah, you know, my attitude is like, hey, I like the idea of global governance via treaty, meaning like no council of elites who can strip your rights from you, but potentially a world court is preferable to world war.
00:49:00.000I'm saying there would be no global court that could go into Illinois and arrest someone for an international thing.
00:49:05.000It would be up to the country to actually go and do it.
00:49:09.000But if there was an issue of like a U.S.
00:49:11.000plane flying over to another country and then doing something, that's when a world court would intervene and be like, we're going to stop this and not allow it.
00:49:18.000So it would only be a direct international matters.
00:49:20.000And my point there is like, for one, maybe it needs some thinking and maybe there's an argument and debates to be made over it, but I'm kind of like, hey, how do you stop world war?
00:49:28.000How do you stop people from blowing each other up?
00:49:30.000Well, I don't want anybody coming to America and being like, you can't do this, you can't do that.
00:49:33.000No, we're our country, we have our borders, we will function the way we deem is right for us.
00:49:39.000Instead of us going and bombing each other, maybe there is a mediation system in world court that will One of the mediation systems that's being pushed is this, what do you call it, social credit score.
00:49:50.000They think that if you can, like, get people to self-censor and kind of control people's money, that then you will pacify them.
00:49:57.000But, you know, pacification oftentimes means, like, destruction and death of people when they're like, we're going to pacify the population.
00:50:03.000That's very nice, because pacifists don't want war.
00:50:05.000But in reality, when you see what happens when someone pacifies a country is oftentimes bombs are being dropped.
00:50:10.000The military is no longer able to fight back, kind of.
00:50:23.000From the Daily Mail, Democrats' civil war over student loans explodes.
00:50:27.000Biden is blasted as out of touch and told he is punishing those without a degree by his own party as new projections say it will cost Americans $500 billion.
00:52:05.000Secondly, I just posted on Twitter earlier, I'm having issues with this loan repayment thing because I'm in this bracket under $100,000 salary.
00:53:51.000They're devaluing our currency by doing it.
00:53:53.000If they were going to the loan companies and saying, OK, you're not getting your usurious interest back because it was unethical in the first place, that I'd be fine with.
00:54:02.000Then I'm like, yeah, let's erase what they think they deserve.
00:54:05.000But I'm not going to tax the citizens by printing more.
00:54:13.000There's a meme where it's that meme of the guy and he's like looking all happy and it says when they forgive 10k in student loan debt and the next one is him looking shocked and it says when your tuition goes up 10k next year.
00:54:24.000Dude if you know so Biden apparently is saying like we got to make sure they can't raise tuition but you can't?
00:54:43.000If the government came out and said they were going to cover $10 of everyone's memberships, if they had one, I'd be like, oh, it's $20 now.
00:56:30.000But I will say, the way they're going about it is wrong.
00:56:33.000What I would say is, interest payments should be forgiven, because interest is where it's like, someone takes out a $50,000 loan, and then 10 years later they're like, I've paid $70,000 back in 2030.
00:59:15.000And there's this whole industry of just putting butts in seats because it makes the colleges look like they're this exploding business.
00:59:25.000There's lots of people going to school.
00:59:26.000You get a lot of crap degrees that mean basically nothing, flooding the market with people, a labor force, who really don't deserve to have these degrees, I dare to say.
00:59:37.000So, they just kind of fail their way through college.
00:59:40.000They accept loans from whatever people are going to give you.
00:59:45.000I don't know, I'm going to give you a loan and you're going to pay me this much in interest in a few years.
00:59:49.000They can't pay it because they can't find work.
00:59:52.000Inflation's happening, so now those loans are basically, I don't know what's happening to the value of the loan, but you still have to pay the interest.
00:59:59.000We, the taxpayers, are going to be left with the bill anyway.
01:00:01.000Maybe that was the plan from the beginning.
01:00:03.000But there's this fake industry of, I'm a college dropout, so I'm biased, but I don't believe in this idea of, I own a piece of paper that says I'm qualified, therefore you should hire me, as opposed to, I'm just a hardworking person, hey, maybe apprentice me, hire me for a few years, and then I'll be qualified.
01:00:44.000The guy who has a picture, I'm like, I like how that looks, make me one of those.
01:00:48.000Not the guy who's got a piece of paper and a degree.
01:00:49.000And who paid tens of thousands of dollars to have that piece of paper, which doesn't necessarily prove that you're able to do any of this stuff.
01:00:57.000Which is, I think, we're being sold, our generation especially, was sold this idea of you have to go to college in order to get a job.
01:01:06.000Employers were convinced that there was value to that piece of paper.
01:01:09.000I'm sorry, I'm a little bitter about it.
01:01:12.000Leaving people like me who I think, you know, I was very hardworking and stuff and I really wanted to do what I did, you know, comics and stuff.
01:01:19.000But I don't think a lot of places even considered me when I was, you know, sending my CV to people.
01:01:24.000They didn't even consider me a candidate.
01:01:27.000It's also made a high school diploma worthless.
01:01:30.000So a lot of kids are, you know, they're pretty much decided by 9th or 10th grade if they're going to college or not.
01:01:36.000I mean, I know I was that way when I grew up.
01:01:39.000I was in high school, didn't really have a lot of interest in going to college, so I kind of just played video games and hung out, you know?
01:01:45.000And now having kids, you know, there's that social pressure.
01:01:47.000It's like, I have to go to college because I want my kids to go to college.
01:01:51.000I know it's just it's social engineering and I'm supposed to want to do that because good fathers do that.
01:01:56.000They make sure their sons have good degrees and they can take care of their kids.
01:02:01.000I think that this is fully systemic and I think it stems from the problem of encouraging kids.
01:02:06.000I think the reason we have so much underwater basket weaving and so much student loan debt right now is because kids have been told that college is the only way to go.
01:02:35.000It was very important that all these things went together.
01:02:37.000The fact of the matter was that the people who are super committed would be the ones who would end up going to college for that specialty and then who would end up going into that profession and being really focused and really talented at what they were doing.
01:02:49.000Well, high school doesn't really specialize you or set you up to go into college.
01:02:55.000It trains you to go to, it teaches you how to school, right?
01:02:57.000But anyone who's got an associate's degree will tell you the first two years of college are the last two years of high school, you know?
01:03:03.000But again, the high school diploma is meaningless now.
01:03:05.000So maybe a solution is to make high school meaningful.
01:03:08.000These kids after ninth or 10th grade could be taking a two year apprenticeship program and be coming out as a plumber's assistant or an electrician assistant.
01:03:15.000We can, we can make meaningful solutions with public high school.
01:03:21.000I don't see the desire for them to do that because they want you to go to college.
01:03:25.000No, and the scary thing is that I see this pattern for the past few years, but it's been happening for a long time of borrowing from the future so we can pay the bills of today.
01:04:04.000It used to be that you could issue a loan creating money up to, what is it, 90% of your holding?
01:04:11.000And then, yeah, the way it would work is like, I put $100 in Bank of Ian.
01:04:15.000Ian then issues a loan for $90 to George, But he still has the $100.
01:04:21.000The $90 is created upon issuance of the loan.
01:04:24.000Then George gives me the $90, and then I create... Well, George then can take that $90 that... So, Tim, you give me $100, I have $100, I can give you $90, I keep my $100.
01:04:32.000You keep your $90, but you can loan out $81 to someone else.
01:04:36.000They can keep their $81, but they can loan out $73 to someone else.
01:05:17.000It's gonna be a silly pours that end up paying it.
01:05:19.000I mean, I definitely think it's gonna go down to a two-class system.
01:05:22.000The middle class continues to shrink, and I think what they're afraid of is generational wealth, right?
01:05:27.000It's very difficult to amass generational wealth to set yourself up.
01:05:31.000And I think the problem with Generational Wealth is that you eventually start gaining power and influence.
01:05:36.000And the less people that can have power and influence, the less we can change the system.
01:05:42.000I just saw that PayPal is changing their terms of service so that soon, like within a month, you're not going to be able to send money to an offshore business, and an offshore business is not going to be able to send money to your personal PayPal account.
01:05:54.000So that makes me think that they're trying to stop people from using offshore banks.
01:05:58.000Yeah, I got a notification on one of my things of they're trying to do anti-money laundering stuff.
01:06:03.000They're really pushing this, which I think is the funniest thing in the world because they're allowed to money launder.
01:06:28.000Well, Bitcoin is fully trackable, and with the right AI, you can see who is doing what, where, when, and how, and you can even infer as to why.
01:06:44.000I was gonna say, I read an article, and I read a headline that said that BlackRock had bought into crypto.
01:06:51.000These institutions keep coming out and they say things like, don't don't buy crypto.
01:06:55.000And then people panic and they sell it all to them, to these institutions.
01:06:59.000There are hedge funds also that a couple of my Reddit last year that were actually telling people with bigger portfolios to make sure you start buying crypto now.
01:08:02.000Trump White House exerted pressure on FDA for COVID-19 emergency use authorizations House report finds.
01:08:09.000The report by House Democrats examining the pandemic says Trump officials sought vaccine approvals to sway voters before the 2020 election.
01:08:32.000Last night we had James Lindsay on and on the after show we talked about the Galean
01:08:34.000dialectic and I was like, what's a dialectic?
01:08:36.000A dialectic is when you create an opposition to what you're doing so that you can create a conflict, which will get a new thing that you want.
01:08:43.000So this, now they're creating a dialectic.
01:08:46.000Now what they're expecting is information's going to come out, oh, I got damaged by the vaccine.
01:08:52.000Now they're trying to be like, okay, here's going to come the thing to be a push against this Trump so that we're going to get our outcome.
01:11:28.000You'd be like, no, I'm going to leave.
01:11:30.000But, but here's what I want to get to.
01:11:31.000You mentioned that the Hegelian dialectic, like maybe they're now teeing it up for people to make claims about vaccines causing injuries and things like that.
01:12:16.000I don't remember where I heard this from, so you guys are welcome to correct me in the chat.
01:12:19.000I'm sorry, I just gotta squeeze this in there, because I heard a theory that they're starting to realize that things are going to start coming out.
01:12:25.000People are going to start filing lawsuits, maybe against Pfizer.
01:12:29.000I don't even know how that works, and they're trying to get ahead of it.
01:12:56.000We had on the Surgeon General from Florida.
01:12:58.000And even he, you know, I don't want to put words in his mouth, but the idea seems to be, look man, if you give 200 million people four shots, like there's a propensity for injury.
01:14:07.000But that's why I'm not convinced it's changing.
01:14:10.000I don't know why the Democrats issued this report.
01:14:12.000If Nate Silver is going to come out on TV or something and then actually use that against Democrats, that's going to help swing states vote Republican or swing districts.
01:14:22.000This is also assuming that liberal elites or Democrats, they might not even be American.
01:14:27.000Well, he's talking about Democrats, because they issued this report where they're going after Trump.
01:14:32.000But my point is, you're a swing district, right?
01:14:36.000We go down to Loudoun County, for instance, and there's a lot of people who are, like, leaning conservative, but they don't like Trump, they don't like MAGA and stuff like that.
01:14:43.000Democrats are trying to bank on that and get those voters.
01:14:46.000If Nate Silver's coming out now and saying this and using their own report against them, those moderate, right-leaning individuals are going to be—they like the vaccine.
01:14:54.000They're going to be mad at Democrats for... I mean, this is a weapon for Republicans in swing districts to come out and be like, Democrats delayed this.
01:15:11.000Lydia's point was the point I was going to make, is I think a lot of things are sinking and falling apart and someone's going to be left holding the bag.
01:15:18.000And at this point, I think people are like, it wasn't me though.
01:15:25.000Quote, Trump pushed for the vaccine approvals too fast is the worst possible critique of the Trump administration's COVID policy, Silver, founder of FiveThirtyEight, tweeted.
01:15:35.000He then said, that probably saved a lot of lives.
01:15:38.000If anything, approval should have been faster.
01:15:40.000In a subsequent tweet, he wrote, liberal public health elites pushed Pfizer to change its original protocols that govern its authorization of vaccines so that the decision would be put off until after Election Day two years ago.
01:15:52.000That is a brutal condemnation of the Democratic establishment that they would let you die to beat Donald Trump.
01:16:05.000What surprises me is that the Democrats came out with a report claiming Donald Trump was rushing unproved treatments and the vaccine as if it was a negative, instantly having that weaponized against them to show that Democrats were willing to let people die during a pandemic because they hated Trump that much.
01:16:47.000They think they deserve whatever it is they're getting and you know, it's gonna get better one day if I just keep coming home and you know, dinner will be better next time.
01:16:54.000Mandatory basic training for all Americans at age 18.
01:18:07.000And they've got these numbers and they're trying to like move puzzle pieces around.
01:18:11.000If I do a vaccine that prevents 36% and I do it to this percentage of the population, they have no... And that's not how medicine functions.
01:18:18.000Realistically, that's why they're looking at 3D printing medicine individually tailored to the individual.
01:18:22.000I think that's the future of medical practice in a lot of ways.
01:18:25.000We were talking about the other day how It wasn't until like 1993, clinical trials had to include females.
01:18:33.000So it used to be that they would take men, give them a drug, see what happened, and then said, there you go, women by body weight.
01:18:40.000And then eventually people were like, hey, you know, like women have different hormones and different body structures, and these drugs aren't working the same way.
01:18:46.000So we started to discover that painkillers, for instance, weren't working on women.
01:18:51.000The painkillers we would give to men would work.
01:18:53.000They'd give the same ones to women, and women would complain, and the doctors would be like, ah, they're just whiny women, you know?
01:18:57.000And in reality, it's like, hey, wait a minute, it's not working.
01:19:01.000So then, I think it was in 1993, they were like, we need to have separate clinical trials for male and female.
01:19:07.000And that's kind of amazing, and now that's probably gonna go away because of weird... Yeah, how do they know what's a female, though?
01:19:20.000Gender dysphoria is now covered by disability law, federal court rules.
01:19:25.000The ruling could become a powerful tool to challenge legislation restricting access to medical care and other accommodations for trans people, advocates say.
01:19:32.000And this pertains to the Fourth Circuit Court, which is Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia, but will inevitably be cited in cases in other states.
01:19:41.000Now, obviously this will go to the Supreme Court.
01:19:45.000The story has to do with prison inmates.
01:19:49.000I believe this was a transgender... Here we go.
01:19:51.000They say, the decision came in the case of a transgender woman who sued the Fairfax County Sheriff in Virginia for housing her in a jail with men.
01:19:58.000The decision is not limited to transgender people challenging jail policies, but also applies broadly to all areas of society covered by disability rights law, including employment, government benefits and services, and public accommodations.
01:20:10.000The decision de-stigmatized a health condition, gender dysphoria, and it says that what Congress did in 1990 wasn't okay.
01:20:18.000Now, I can't see this standing because your mental state is not used in terms of your physical state.
01:20:30.000So, if you are suffering depression, they're not going to be like, you can't go to this facility, right?
01:20:39.000If you are having a mental issue of some sort, or I guess, look, with all due respect, they're calling it a disability, it's protected under disability law.
01:20:47.000Your mental state doesn't determine whether or not you go to one facility or another in many circumstances, so this is interesting.
01:20:53.000I suppose you could argue if someone's mental state was lunacy, psychosis, you would go to a care facility or a hospital instead of a prison.
01:21:03.000Many people are clearly unwell, deranged, depressed, or insane, and they don't send them to hospitals.
01:21:09.000Why would it be now that someone with a mental issue, they could use that to actually affirm that mental issue and be transferred to a separate facility?
01:21:23.000I feel like if this did stand, you would have like jails that were strictly for depressed people because your mental state is not something that is a fixed feature of your attribute.
01:21:31.000Like it doesn't stay the same from day to day.
01:21:33.000And I wonder if they're trying to push us toward the slippery slope of, you know, your external genitalia is not necessarily consistent with who you really are inside.
01:21:41.000So I feel like it's just opening or setting a really bad precedent.
01:21:58.000Well, so look, for people who are trans, gender-affirming surgery, as it's called, would be the reconstruction, removal of your reproductive organs, and then the cosmetic alteration of them.
01:22:40.000I mean, a doctor is not going to cut your hand off.
01:22:42.000This is so interesting to me because most people don't know this about JK Rowling, but she under a pseudonym wrote an entire, she wrote like a series about a veteran who had lost, you know, the lower half of his leg in the war.
01:22:55.000And he came back to England and he was dealing with murderous psychopaths who wanted, who had body dysmorphic disorder and who wanted to like amputate their hands and whatnot.
01:23:04.000And he was incensed by this, obviously, because he had an involuntary amputation.
01:23:11.000So I wonder if that's a little bit off topic, but I wonder if that's contributed to their view of her as a TERF because she's been like, no, if you want to amputate something, that's not necessarily just something we should accept.
01:23:22.000I have no issue with disability law covering this.
01:23:26.000The DSM-5 lists it as a disorder, whatever.
01:23:28.000That's the opinion of the medical experts.
01:23:30.000And so if someone is experiencing this, then I don't know if that Does disability law give you guaranteed access to government funded treatments?
01:23:40.000That's what I feel like this might be aiming at, is it's a funding mechanism.
01:23:45.000But think about any other... I think body dysmorphic disorder is the best analogy because we are not granting those protections to these people.
01:23:56.000If we're going to allow individuals to undergo cosmetic surgery and the removal of organs due to a disability, would that not apply to any other disorder?
01:25:58.000But the point is, if... So, look, what they're saying here is that if you're biologically male, identify as a woman, and go to a male prison, that's a disability discrimination.
01:26:10.000If I have persistent depressive disorder caused by being in prison, it's causing me a disability, that's a violation of my rights as a disabled person, right?
01:26:19.000I should be moved to a different facility to be accommodated for this?
01:26:23.000It's really funny how prisoners... Well, we're talking about prisoners' rights.
01:26:34.000But then I'm thinking about like the horror of war and like war prisoners and like... We're in such a luxurious time in history that we're able to kind of demand how we want to be treated in prison.
01:29:03.000So in a camp the only reason you can't be in a camp is if you're a It can't be like a violent crime and you can't be a chomo So, um, what's that?
01:29:59.000So, let's say you have a company and you have someone that, you know, it's like they do your business dealings, you know, because you've grown so much.
01:30:06.000You send someone they have an illegal conversation about possibly doing something, right?
01:30:10.000Or let's say you're having a conversation about buying drugs, but there are no drugs, you know, it's not actually happened yet.
01:30:18.000If two people come together and say he had the intention of doing this, that's a charge.
01:30:25.000They call it um, oh Conspiracy to commit either fraud or conspiracy to do something Wow So if two two inmates you're saying two inmates tell a guard that a third inmate is doing said something This is in the free world.
01:30:37.000This is this is out of prison So the people that were there right a lot of them are like a conspiracy to commit mail fraud conspiracy to to do You know regular fraud and stuff I mean I was I wasn't there long enough to get full details of everything was a pretty short stint but If two people say this guy had an intention to buy drugs or have a shady dealing, and they're C.I.s for the federal government, they can arrest you on conspiracy.
01:30:59.000So you'll get, you could be some dumb dude who's sitting, playing video games and drinking a beer, and then some guy goes, hey man, you know what we should do?
01:31:06.000We should do this, that, or otherwise, right?
01:31:38.000And they go to the range, so they drive it to West Virginia, and then they're leaving, and so they're like, we're gonna go chill at my buddy's house.
01:31:44.000And they go to a chiller's house, and then someone says, hey, you wanna bring some of this stuff over to us?
01:31:52.000Talking about crossing state lines with something illegal or whatever and you're like the only you might not even know where the state line is You said it's called ghost ghost crime ghost drugs.
01:32:01.000So ghost drugs is a really prominent one on there So if the drugs were there or not, you still committed the crime so they're gonna arrest you with no drugs Just the well, they said they were going to they showed up to meet to go buy it And the other one was ghost.
01:32:49.000I don't want you to spill the beans on anyone's actual life story, so could you make up something that's akin so we understand what it would be like?
01:32:58.000What's a fictitious example of what a tragic story would be in these circumstances?
01:33:03.000So, like, uh, when I was in, I tell you what broke me.
01:33:06.000Everyone's got a cell phone where I'm at.
01:33:21.000Yeah, um, but, uh, there was one guy, um, I was staying behind, uh, reading a book and I heard a guy, uh, singing happy birthday to like his three-year-old on the cell phone.
01:33:36.000I've wanted to put webcams in these prisons for about 15 years.
01:33:40.000I just, even if the guards, if the guards are watching you have, or anyone have a conversation with their family, I mean, at least they're having a conversation.
01:33:47.000That's why I asked you about isolation earlier, like psychological isolation.
01:33:51.000Well, I know the place I was at used to be a women's camp, and they actually had the ability to FaceTime their families.
01:33:56.000Like, women have different treatment than the men do in prisons.
01:33:59.000Well, that sounds like a Title IX violation.
01:34:01.000Yeah, well, the only thing I hate about that last story is that it came out, you know, a couple months late, because I would have much rather preferred going to a women's prison.
01:34:09.000I think we're going to go Super Chats pretty soon.
01:34:11.000Yeah, we're going to Super Chats right now, actually.
01:34:12.000We only touched on surface on level at that last story, but I think your story was actually really interesting.
01:34:16.000All right, we're going to go to Super Chats.
01:34:17.000If 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.
01:34:21.000Become a member because I have a members-only uncensored show coming up for you at 11 p.m.
01:36:43.000Baelian says, so are you going to criticize MTG for her hypocrisy in demanding the censorship of Kiwi Farms due to the fact she's being tricked into believing one of their mods is responsible for her swatting?
01:36:54.000If you want to know more, check out Rikada's video.
01:36:58.000If Marjorie Taylor Greene is wrong about this, because I don't know the full details, for one, I do not believe Kiwi Farms should be censored, and I do think that whoever's doing the swatting is absolutely lying because we've been experiencing something similar, and I'll reach out to Marjorie and make sure she's not making a mistake.
01:37:16.000She should not be calling for censorship, and if that's the case, that would be hypocritical and bad.
01:37:22.000Maybe we'll have her back on the show at some point when we can.
01:37:26.000Joshua Marks says, GPrime85, on the one show I've caught live all year, that's karma for buying the completely awesome Breaking Bread Club Print, I bet.
01:38:58.000A large portion of our viewers are actually on the West Coast, too.
01:39:00.000Not the biggest, but, you know, so that'll be easier for you guys.
01:39:03.000If it works, If the songs we put out succeed and generate revenue, and it's also about building culture, that means if the song succeeds in getting play to a certain degree, I'm not super worried about returns profit-wise if we get returns marketing-wise.
01:39:21.000But if the songs can generate revenue to the point where we can expand the operation, we will.
01:39:26.000Otherwise, the reality is us putting out songs becomes like a vanity project of a thing we like to do that helps generate buzz for the projects we're working on.
01:39:34.000To put it simply, marketing value will exist in all of the music stuff we do.
01:39:39.000If it generates revenue, then we start signing more and more bands and ramping up production.
01:39:44.000Otherwise, it'll be like the people who are here in-house and have songs they want to publish will make and publish.
01:39:49.000But I really do want to at least sign a few people for a few deals to a certain degree.
01:41:15.000Well, I think it's fair to spoil the first season.
01:41:17.000It's a fairly old show, but basically, like, the show is people live in this big triple-walled city, and there are giant humanoid monsters that eat people outside.
01:41:53.000but yeah it's it's uh super i remember it was like super nihilistic and dark and gross oh the art is incredible yeah well jordan peterson said watch it i'm definitely gonna watch it i'm trying to be a better man i think it was a jordan peterson deep fake that says to watch it but i could be wrong all right i gotta ask jordan to his face chuck taylor says please read this super chat Okay, moving on.
01:42:14.000KM says, Bree Larson's version of Metric's Black Sheep is way better.
01:42:18.000The song from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
01:43:00.000It doesn't really fit in with the rest of the songs.
01:43:02.000And so when they were making Scott Pilgrim, they were like, hey, this band is based on you guys.
01:43:07.000And then they were like, oh, that's great, even though the woman in the movie is like a dick.
01:43:11.000and so they're like hey we have this song it didn't fit on an album you can use this one i remember the first time i saw scott pilgrim and i heard black sheep i was like wow this song is really good for like a movie song i was like i wonder why i like it so much and i looked it up i was like oh it's metric it's like one of my favorite bands i would say actually right now metric is my favorite band they're amazing all comes crashing is like all comes crashing is like the best song they've ever made and i love like all their albums so I remember I got invited to a screening of that one, and I was a huge fan of the comic at the time.
01:43:39.000Well, okay, so the version I saw, he ended up with knives at the end, and I thought that was a huge... it was a completely different ending.
01:44:58.000He finally finds one universe where Christine gets to live and it's where he sacrifices his hands and his legacy to become Doctor Strange, but keeping her alive.
01:45:07.000And that would be the prequel to the actual first Doctor Strange movie.
01:46:03.000And then, like, I gotta be honest, like, that made no— like, Multiverse of Madness ends up making no sense.
01:46:08.000They're turning every movie into an Avengers movie, and it's really boring.
01:46:11.000Like, the first Doctor Strange was good.
01:46:13.000It's about a guy, and he goes on this journey.
01:46:14.000Now it's like every movie is an Avengers movie, and I'm just like... Anyway, let's read some more!
01:46:19.000Regil says, G Prime, excited to see your amazing art in Death Mask, the second book in the Night Vale series by Hugo, nominated excellence of Elocution.
01:46:27.000RazörFist, available for pre-order now.
01:46:33.000I don't know if this is, like, widely known, but yeah, RazörFist, the YouTuber, the smack talker, was kind enough to ask me to illustrate his second book in the series.
01:46:48.000Max S. says, I would like to point out that in the New York 19th district race from earlier this week, the Democrats and media are bragging about beating the Republican by 2%.
01:46:57.000In a district, Democrats won by 12% in 2020.
01:48:12.000They have a left and a right side cam, a front cam, a back cam, a dash cam, and a cabin cam.
01:48:17.000I remember I parked once next to a Tesla, and I was close to it, but I didn't hit it or anything, and I opened my door, and then I see on the dash it says recording.
01:48:42.000I'm gonna get a Tesla. Dude, the remote control feature is crazy. I never used it because I've
01:48:46.000had Tesla for a while, but you can control the car remotely.
01:48:49.000You can be far away and then press a button and the car will move with nobody in it. It's
01:48:54.000really slow for obvious reasons, but it's kind of weird. One of his plans, Elon's plans, I believe is
01:48:59.000to, you know, displace Uber by allowing you to set your Tesla to go Uber for you while you're not
01:49:04.000using it and it'll drive around, pick people up and take them. Uber, Uber.
01:49:07.000Uber is really, really bad, in my opinion, because these people who are doing this don't realize the wear and tear on their vehicle is eating away at the money they're making.
01:49:16.000You're basically just selling the value of your car for a short-term gain, and then your car breaks down and runs out of gas.
01:51:05.000And then, I don't know exactly when, but we have another version.
01:51:08.000So this song has rock in it, but it's not a rock song.
01:51:10.000I guess the best example, the closest I could probably get it to, is Cosmic Love by Florence, maybe.
01:51:17.000But we have another version that's piano and violin, and then we're probably going to do a performance in here, in the studio, and then put that up.
01:51:23.000We should do a lounge version of Will of the People, where it's like, this is the will of the people.
01:51:55.000The FBI, a whistleblower came out and said that they were told by the top brass not to investigate the laptop because they didn't want to interfere in the election.
01:52:01.000Then, right before a midterm, they raided Trump's house.
01:52:35.000Like, they're trying to, like, my favorite conspiracy theory in this regard is that China created wokeness and, like, pumped it up through the media to destabilize the country, and now they're trying to get rid of wokeness by creating fake opposition.
01:52:52.000Max Stahl says the Sandman is woke garbage, Dream Homie is naked in a bubble for all of the first episode, and one of the only straight couples in the show chains a black kid up in the basement.
01:53:03.000I mean, the show's got its cringe, but the death episode is one of the greatest pieces of visual media I've ever seen.
01:54:09.000I'm like, Whoa, who invited you to this conversation?
01:54:11.000And he was like really like he jumped on me like wow I think I had said something like I like only one of his stories or something like that.
01:54:19.000I liked Coraline and Stardust or something.
01:54:22.000He's like well you know I'm not gonna pretend like I know what he said.
01:54:53.000For a while I've been doing Indiegogo campaigns in my Etsy shop and stuff, so I have a series, a comic series, that I don't really have time to work on.
01:55:18.000Um, not under their current leadership.
01:55:20.000Um, I don't, I mean, first of all, I don't even think it's like remotely possible, uh, because of my reputation and stuff.
01:55:27.000But even if for some reason they would hire me, um, I don't work super well with other people, especially like editor types and like, um, they have IPs already.
01:55:36.000So you have to work within the bounds of what they would, uh, Oh, the character would never do this.
01:55:42.000And I don't really like working within boundaries like that.
01:55:50.000So I have a couple of series that I've been writing and drawing.
01:55:55.000I have one black and white horror slash romance slash action story.
01:55:58.000I have another one with like a derpy mecha suit pilot.
01:56:05.000It's called Mary Sue, but the idea is that I want to take the tropes of like They complain about how there's not a lot of strong female characters Or they're too perfect and my idea was I want to take a character who's nothing but imperfections she has this power suit that she doesn't deserve and the joke is that she goes on these amazing quests and and fights monsters and pirates and stuff, but she She keeps failing and nobody wants her to save the day because she keeps ruining everything around and the joke is that She does not deserve to have this power suit and it's kind of like a comedy action But also I think it's quite well written if you ask me It's like I like the idea of a character with imperfections and especially a female character with imperfections because so many like she Hulk and stuff like that the conversation is
01:56:52.000There's all these lady characters that have, their biggest problem is that they're compared to like male characters or society is against them.
01:57:00.000It's like, no, no, let's have a female character with real imperfections.
01:57:04.000You know, she's a derp, you know, she's clumsy or she's, she's terrible with guys, but she wants to have, you know, dates, but you know, guys look at her like she's a disease, you know, they avoid her.
01:57:15.000Yeah, there'd be a lot of relatedness to that.
01:57:16.000I think it would actually reach a lot of people on a real level.
01:57:19.000Yeah, and it would be funny, it would be amazing for me to work with a publisher.
01:57:23.000I've talked to a couple of publishers, but I think it's either the rejection for some reason, or I don't know if they are allergic to my name.
01:57:30.000All right, let's read some more Super Chats.
01:57:31.000Kevin Billa says, I wish Tim was on this latest episode of JRE with Mark.
01:57:36.000You would have asked the real questions.
01:57:46.000That's how it happened the first time on Twitter.
01:57:48.000People were critical of Joe because he didn't get to the core of these deeper cultural issues, and then Joe and I ended up having a conversation, and then Joe invited me on his show, and then Joe was like, bro, you wanna come back on with the Twitter CEO?
01:58:31.000I view it as, you know, it's painful at first, but you have to realize that it's a good feeling because all of that feeling only exists because you had that dog for as long as you did or that loved one or whoever.
01:58:44.000And it is just like it was all built up, all that goodness, and then all at once.
01:58:49.000So you might be crying, but you'd be smiling because that pain you're feeling is proof of the amazing best friend you just had and lost and all the great times you shared.
01:59:01.000He says, Ian, please say something about how much of a good girl Bama was.
01:59:25.000The only thing that's up on our Spotify is the theme songs for Inverted World, which the Season 2 one actually is a really good song that I love playing, and Will of the People, and then the retro 8-bit Will of the People that Carter made.

02:01:52.000It's just pictures of my family and me doing terrible, hilarious things.
02:01:57.000It's AdamNotThatOneGuyJohnson with periods in between the words.
02:02:16.000And I'm Ian Cross, and I want to tell you, if you do like Marvel or want to like Marvel or want to understand why people like Marvel, it is because of things like this.
02:02:23.000This is the Infinity Gauntlet, episode number one, or issue number one.
02:02:26.000This is one of the greatest comics ever written, in my opinion.
02:02:28.000I haven't read them all, but this is...
