On this week's show: A new FBI agent has come forward with evidence of political bias in the agency, a man who got lost on stage at a Democratic National Convention, and more! Guests: Republican consultant and internet troll, Michael Duncan, joins us to discuss all that and much more.
00:00:00.000FBI agent has come forward, blown the whistle on overt political bias in the agency, saying that most of
00:00:33.000these cases against right-wing extremists, they claim, are entrapment.
00:00:37.000Now I think this is the same FBI agent that's been suspended after calling out overt violations of the Fourth Amendment and the Constitution and surprisingly the Sixth Amendment.
00:00:47.000But I think for most of us it was obvious it was happening.
00:00:50.000But I do want to commend this agent for coming forward and doing the right thing.
00:01:08.000It was out yesterday, but we're talking about it today.
00:01:10.000Where Biden is on stage, and the thing that's crazy is after he walks on the podium, he has Cornholio hands.
00:01:16.000You know how, like, Mr. Burns hands, where his hands are like this, and he's, like, looking around confused, like, and they try and gaslight us in the media, like, no, that's normal.
00:01:25.000It's like, dude, it's not normal when he tried to shake hands with nobody and then he looks around confused.
00:01:38.000The reason that's important is because Vladimir Putin is mobilizing 300,000 troops, preparing to mobilize up to a million, threatening nuclear weapons.
00:01:47.000And our commander in chief is, as explained, but more importantly, the Air Force is now doing diversity, inclusivity, and equity training or whatever, telling them no longer to use gendered words like mom and dad.
00:01:57.000And I'm just like, okay, you know, We're not going to win this one because if that's our military and Putin does nuke Ukraine, I don't see the U.S.
00:02:40.000And if you want to see that stuff, don't have your kids in the room when you play it because we swear a lot and we talk about naughty things.
00:02:45.000So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, Joining us tonight to talk about the news and much more is Mr. Comfortably Smug.
00:02:57.000Well, I would say that I'm probably best known as being kind of like an internet troll who antagonizes the left online, and now I've even got my own show, Ruthless.
00:03:20.000Met this guy, Comfortably Smug, on Twitter, and we started this podcast.
00:03:24.000We have two other co-hosts, John Ashbrook and Josh Holmes.
00:03:28.000We've got a consulting firm, we deal with a lot of Republican politicians, and he trolls people on Twitter all day, and so naturally those two things fit together like a hand in a glove, and so we started a podcast.
00:03:39.000Yeah, I think it works well for a podcast.
00:03:41.000You're like, hey, those zingers you're throwing on Twitter, we can say those words into a microphone and people will listen, huh?
00:04:18.000That's an interesting shirt you got there.
00:04:20.000Well, yeah, I wanted to shout out, you know, Mr. Epstein's friend, Bill Gates.
00:04:23.000He just had another product launch today supporting new lab-made GMO corn, which will allegedly help Africa in its hunger crisis and help the climate in Africa.
00:05:33.000All right, ladies and gentlemen, here's the first story from the Washington Times, FBI whistleblower, counter-terrorism cases against alleged right-wing extremists, mostly entrapment.
00:05:44.000It doesn't matter that he's saying it, because people on the left don't want to hear it, won't believe it, and they'll tell you the news report is fake news anyway.
00:05:50.000So we've learned nothing, and there's no new developments.
00:05:52.000Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all next time.
00:05:58.000With all due respect to this FBI agent, the reality is that we do need this and we need more of it.
00:06:03.000And so I really do want to commend this agent for coming out because we rag on the FBI a lot because of what the Washington field office has been doing, especially with Trump.
00:06:12.000But Donald Trump, I think in his Hannity interview, he said that a lot of the FBI agents voted for him.
00:06:19.000I think that there's a lot of FBI agents who are good people but are too scared to speak up.
00:06:22.000So I can only say, first and foremost, James O'Keefe's got your back.
00:06:26.000I mean, you look at what Veritas does for their whistleblowers, they make sure that they're not going to be left high and dry.
00:06:31.000So I would only recommend anybody, not just the FBI, but anybody, That if you're witnessing illegal or unethical, you know, actions at your company or whatever, within the confines of the law, blow the whistle.
00:06:44.000I mean, you know, I'm not a fan of just, like, leakers for the sake of leaking.
00:06:47.000And there's been a lot of people who have done that in the past, and I'm like, no, no, no, no.
00:06:50.000If you're there, and dude is, like, violating the Constitution, and you're like, no, and they're like, we will punish you, you'd be like, hey, someone, help!
00:07:23.000And what he's saying is absolutely mind-boggling.
00:07:25.000He's talking, I mean, not mind-boggling to us, everyone knows this, but this is official confirmation of them cooking the books, exaggerating the threat of domestic terrorism, using overzealous January 6th investigations to harass conservatives and also innocent Americans.
00:07:41.000He talks about how he was specifically, he himself, was taken off human trafficking and child abuse cases to the point where he says there was real-life effects where children were hurt Because the FBI changed focuses from investigating human traffickers and child abusers to going after innocent people, according to him, that were just even around Washington, D.C.
00:08:46.000These are the heroes who are Look, I think a lot of people get into law enforcement for the right reasons, but the systems themselves are fairly broken.
00:08:55.000So if you're like, I'm gonna come out, expose this, and that means I'm out, then good, good, that's what needs to happen.
00:09:01.000Just really quickly before I give it to you guys, the New York Post is reporting that there's over 20 FBI whistleblowers And they're talking about, especially with this friend guy, he's talking about specifically the FBI post-de facto designating a grassy area outside of the Capitol as a restricted zone when it wasn't a restricted zone in order, of course, to prosecute innocent civilians that were there on January 6th.
00:09:23.000And this is a huge, huge, massive allegations that I think are worth listening to.
00:09:28.000And the fact that this friend guy was fired is absolutely a huge misjustice.
00:09:33.000Well, I think number one, you know, just think about being a normal, you know, FBI agent wants to do their job.
00:09:39.000And you see what's happened to the Bureau and the Justice Department writ large over the last five, six years.
00:10:34.000I mean, that guy went to President-elect Donald Trump and said, you know, congratulations, Mr. President-elect.
00:10:41.000Hey, did you urinate on some Russian hookers?
00:10:46.000Um, because there's this dossier and, you know, look, I mean, this is salacious stuff, you know, but I just want to share this with you for your own good, for your own good.
00:10:54.000He walked downstairs and he got into his limo and typed up all the notes, right?
00:11:00.000Because he was trying to entrap the president.
00:11:02.000He wanted to see how the president would react to it.
00:11:06.000There's no difference between that and this.
00:11:08.000I mean, you look at the priorities of the FBI at this point, where they're spending more time going to school board meetings, trying to call parents as domestic—like, anyone basically who opposes this regime is a domestic terrorist.
00:11:20.000Joe Biden, in that speech, basically said, if you oppose me, you're a radical domestic terrorist.
00:11:25.000So, you know, exactly like Tim was saying, is you end up with these cases where you have a liberal who just runs over a kid for being A Republican, but that's intentional.
00:11:35.000The first step for them in this process is to dehumanize the out group, right?
00:11:41.000Well, that's the path towards genocide of that list we saw go viral, right?
00:11:46.000And also, Steve Friend, he's specifically also saying that FBI domestic terrorism cases are being opened up on innocent American citizens who were quote, nowhere near the Capitol on January 6th, based on quote, anonymous tips and Facebook spying on people's private messages.
00:12:02.000The fact that people are getting raided, the fact that people are getting swatted for just expressing messages that were political is such a nasty thing that the FBI would be partaking in that of course is destroying any semblance of any form of justice which of course they have long since forgotten what it even means in my opinion.
00:12:19.000Well, they have a problem with the FBI where they're looking for, like, white supremacists, domestic extremists, but the demand's outstripping the supply.
00:12:26.000So, you know, this is what they're left to have to do.
00:12:29.000And they're talking about pressures from higher ups saying, hey, we need more white supremacy cases.
00:13:02.000So their good friend, the good friend of the Democrats, Lindsey Graham, comes out with that bill, the 15-day nationwide abortion ban, and like every Republican collectively goes, we literally just argued states' rights on that issue, and now what are you doing and why?
00:13:15.000And it's just, he's holding up a sign saying, vote Democrat, basically.
00:13:20.000If you ask any voter, if you look at any poll in any of these key battleground states here ahead of the midterm election, the top issues are the economy, inflation, crime, and the border.
00:13:35.000So what Lindsey Graham did there is he just Highlighted the one issue that mobilizes their base and distracts Republican candidates from talking about the things that are actually going to win them elections.
00:13:47.000And if you look at what the Democrats are running on with this upcoming election, it is abortion.
00:13:52.000And very interestingly, according to a lot of different sources, they spent tens of millions of dollars propping up right wingers, specifically Donald Trump, right wingers, and also local elections as well.
00:14:03.000Yeah, I mean, they spent millions of dollars in the Colorado Senate race trying to elect O'Day's opponent, the guy who ended up winning the primary.
00:14:11.000I mean, the Schumer's PAC spent millions and millions of dollars to elect these folks.
00:14:16.000And then they cry every day on television about how democracy is on the verge of ending in this country, but they try to elect the most right-wing candidates in these Republican primaries.
00:14:28.000And how do you square those two things?
00:14:29.000Of course, it's all theater at the end of the day.
00:14:32.000They're giving them millions of dollars.
00:14:46.000I don't know what you do at that point, because if it really does come down to an election of people who are not even paying attention to the most basic of news, Democrats and their PACs are funding the MAGA Republicans that Democrats and Joe Biden are claiming are the apocalypse.
00:15:03.000But there are people who are just so ignorant and don't pay attention that they're sitting out there being like,
00:15:08.000Oh man, these my Republicans are bad. Why are they getting so much attention? Oh, we got to vote. We better vote
00:15:13.000It's like bro, they're being, you're voting for the people who are propping them up in the first place.
00:15:17.000I think the vast majority of voters don't agree with the Democrats framing of any of this.
00:15:23.000And if you actually look at, you know, who voters trust on various issues, like restoring faith in democracy isn't actually an issue that Democrats lead on, funny enough.
00:15:34.000Despite all them talking about restoring democracy and stopping Donald Trump from, you know, subverting the election and yada yada yada all this stuff.
00:15:41.000You know, Republicans actually lead on issues surrounding the election and securing the election and all of those sorts of things.
00:15:47.000So I think it's going to fall on deaf ears.
00:15:49.000And I think the reason why they're pushing that message so hard is they don't have anything else to run on.
00:16:45.000I don't understand how there's even a competition in the polls at this point.
00:16:49.000With the economy on the verge of imploding, you'd think that people would just be like, okay, we're done with this.
00:16:53.000But I guess the issue is Republicans suck, so what are you going to get?
00:16:57.000A lot of people are saying third party, younger people too.
00:17:00.000I think a part of the problem is okay well what's what's you know this group of Democrats got going for him is basically every major news organization on on in the country will push whatever line that they need they can pretty much you know the tech companies will kick off anyone who, you know, left wing groups want gone, like the number
00:17:21.000of people who have been censored from social media, whether it's shadow banned, you know,
00:17:25.000permanently, if they can ban the former president of the United States, like, you know, they
00:18:13.000You look at the right track, wrong track in the polling in this country, or you look at his approval, and man, he's like 37, 38 percent approval, right?
00:18:21.000But they don't necessarily associate that with their Democratic senator or whatever.
00:18:25.000But now, little by little, those voters are looking around, they're saying, well, how can I express that frustration with Joe Biden?
00:18:45.000And so I was just checking my phone and I got an autopost outside of the video stream, some kind of unique YouTube autopost that says, can you spot the manipulation in some weird little cartoon?
00:18:57.000And it's a video, but it's like, YouTube created a special post only for them, it looks like.
00:19:03.000And then it's just like some guy watching a video, and then when you click it, it's like, how to fight misinformation.
00:21:06.000I was like, what does this have to do with the election?
00:21:08.000And so they include me still in this story.
00:21:11.000And so what I think's happening is that YouTube, they're politically biased.
00:21:17.000What I think's happening is we keep getting these stories where they try and claim that we've broken the rules.
00:21:22.000But no matter what, if YouTube took us down claiming we did, I'd sue them in two seconds for breach of contract because I know the rules and we did not break them.
00:21:31.000In the background, they can shadowban.
00:21:33.000They can do things like this to suppress the views, make sure people can't see it.
00:21:37.000And then they can try and appease the activists and be like, oh, look, we're doing everything we can to reduce misinformation, but they can't explicitly take action against us.
00:21:46.000Well, and the other thing is, who do they choose to elevate, right?
00:21:50.000And it's not just YouTube, but like, if you look at the recommended videos, or recommended podcasts, and the Apple podcast app, or the stuff they're highlighting for that month.
00:22:01.000Have you ever seen a conservative show up there?
00:22:05.000So, people have pointed this out all the time.
00:22:08.000We regularly will, you know, we had, like in the past month, 60-something thousand concurrent viewers, it's political off-season.
00:22:14.000During the 2020 election, we were getting 150,000 concurrent viewers on the show, never trending.
00:22:21.000Like, that should have been featured as their top trending live show, or one of them, and they just would never do it.
00:22:26.000So, like, outright, they try and silo shows like this, content like this.
00:22:30.000Now that we're into the October surprise timeframe, it's no surprise that we're now hearing people being like, I can't find the show, it's not popping up.
00:22:38.000Some people are saying it doesn't even appear on our page itself.
00:22:41.000That they have to go to Timcast.com or type in the URL manually.
00:22:56.000Yeah, YouTube essentially decides if people will ever see your content or not, and there's many different underhanded things that they could do to make sure people never see you.
00:23:04.000Even though you have a large subscription base, even though you're consistent, even though you have a schedule, it doesn't matter.
00:23:09.000I've been through it all throughout my entire YouTube career.
00:23:12.000And they could mess with you in the search.
00:23:14.000I remember I couldn't even find my YouTube channel.
00:23:29.000Horrible organizations that I don't even call news organizations.
00:23:33.000They are propaganda organizations that have been caught multiple times lying on purpose.
00:23:39.000Spreading disinformation, hurting people with the misinformation that, of course, they spread to the general public, and having a huge negative effect on the general public, pushing, of course, partisan bullcrap rather than, of course, actual news.
00:23:52.000And the people who do promote actual news, we get hurt by the algorithm, since, of course, there's this favoritism on YouTube, which elevates those voices that you were just mentioning.
00:24:02.000So I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on this, but what do you think is the answer to that?
00:24:06.000Because, I mean, the way I see it is, You know, you want to diversify, number one, and be available in multiple places, lots of places, hopefully, across many different platforms.
00:24:16.000But I also think, like, you know, the conservative movement, you know, anybody who cares about liberty in this country should get invested in creating our own platforms and our own tech and do everything.
00:24:29.000Like, like Mao said, let a thousand flowers bloom, try a bunch of different things.
00:24:34.000But like, Also, build your own ecosystem at some point for when the day comes where, like, no notifications go out for the show, right?
00:24:45.000I mean, I think so, you know, part of me thinks that maybe 10 years ago, five years ago, maybe even, that would be, you know, something that would be possible.
00:24:55.000But it's gotten to the point where the left has gone on offense so effectively that, like, OK, you can try to start your own platform, but they're going to make sure that you can't bank anymore.
00:25:06.000It's a really good point, because they get to the root of the internet, right?
00:25:10.000We're not even just talking about front-end platforms now.
00:26:07.000And this is, one of these videos was in my feed automatically, but it was like... When you open the YouTube app, you can see like the username, the video, and then the name of the video or whatever.
00:26:17.000These have like, had like their own special box.
00:26:20.000Let me actually see if I can pull it up on my phone and then actually just show you this way, because...
00:26:25.000It's certainly not, I don't know, I wouldn't call it normal how it popped up on my feed.
00:26:43.000And it's happening right when the election is going on.
00:26:45.000and are about to kick off. I mean, early voting is starting relatively soon.
00:26:49.000This is YouTube manipulating the election.
00:26:51.000Hands down. Big Tech is manipulating the election on purpose. They're interfering.
00:26:56.000But you know what? I'm willing to bet there's going to be like one, I'll say one,
00:27:02.000maybe upwards of five Republicans who actually say anything.
00:27:07.000And even if they do, they're going to sit down in front of Big Tech and they're going to be like, so you're choosing what can and can't be seen.
00:27:13.000And they're going to go, well, you know, we're trying to combat misinformation.
00:27:16.000They're going to go, oh, I shake my fist at that.
00:27:17.000I'm going to write a sternly worded letter to you.
00:27:25.000So I think, in terms of the political arena, I think the important part right now is we're in a situation where Democrats have the House, the Senate, the White House, right?
00:27:34.000We need to take control of at least one branch.
00:27:51.000So, so the thing is, is that we have to take a majority in either, you know, the House or the Senate, or both, hopefully, that we can get a majority.
00:27:59.000And that's when we start holding our representatives, our senators' feet to the fire.
00:28:05.000Because without having a majority, you're just, you know, what can you do?
00:29:52.000More about the topics that interest them.
00:29:55.000We have a responsibility to increase access to good information while decreasing the bad.
00:30:00.000To make sure that we're doing that, we tackle misinformation on our platform based on what we call four R's of responsibility.
00:30:07.000We remove the most harmful content that violates our policies.
00:30:11.000We reduce recommendations of borderline content.
00:30:14.000We raise up authoritative sources for news and information.
00:30:17.000And we reward trusted creators and artists.
00:30:20.000You can learn more about how we enforce our policies in a separate video, but the bottom line is that we aim to enforce our community guidelines consistently using a combination of machine learning systems, content reviewers, and user reports to detect, review, and remove content that crosses the line.
00:30:40.000We strive to remove content that violates our policies before it's widely viewed or viewed at all.
00:30:46.000For more information about The issue right there is that they reduce recommendations on what they deem to be borderline while propping up authoritative sources.
00:30:55.000How do you become an authoritative source?
00:30:59.000That's why it was I think like four years ago, a whole swath of YouTubers noticed the recommendations collapsed from like 7 or 8% of their views to like 0.1.
00:31:10.000Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN shot straight up.
00:31:14.000Yeah, they're pretty much saying, hey, you don't have a billionaire corporate, a millionaire, you know, agenda for your cause?
00:31:23.000Well, that 4R thing was pretty horrific to see them break it down.
00:31:26.000And the thing is that that's actually not unprecedented at all.
00:31:30.000We saw in a previous cycle where Hunter Biden's laptop is labeled misinformation or propaganda from like over from a Russian propaganda machine.
00:31:40.000And so those so-called authoritative sources are the ones who agreed, like almost like a cartel of information that like, we will not cover this at all.
00:31:51.000So when they say authoritative sources, are they going to hold accountable the people who told us two years ago that this is a Russian misinformation?
00:31:59.000Is YouTube going to go back and flag all the videos from the New York Times and the Washington Post and Buzzfeed all on the Russiagate stuff that wasn't real?
00:32:13.000Are all of their accounts going to be blacklisted or downranked?
00:32:16.000How many strikes do those channels deserve, like the New York Times, for misinformation?
00:32:21.000There were four years of Trump's presidency where it was basically one after the other conspiracy theory that the media is running wildly with and irresponsibly with while trying to do everything they can to silence the other side.
00:32:34.000It's just wild to me we've gotten to the place in this country where we need to preemptively determine in a conversation, in a debate, who preemptively is correct.
00:32:58.000Who will make life a living hell for everyone if they don't get their way.
00:33:01.000Oh, this borderline content doesn't work for my own political beliefs and biases, therefore we have to take it down, even though it doesn't violate the rules or the terms of services or the code of conduct.
00:33:11.000They're like, this person's content is to the right of Bernie Sanders, so it is dangerous and could kill me.
00:33:17.000Like, everything's always framed as being dangerous.
00:33:19.000That person hasn't left their house in two years, though.
00:33:47.000A lot of people are reporting they're not getting notifications.
00:33:49.000They're also reporting that the app is crashing.
00:33:52.000And we've noticed some interesting things, the live show that is completely atypical.
00:33:56.000We'll have like 40,000 live viewers, and then in 10 minutes, or not even in 10 minutes, but in like one jump, it'll go like 40, 41,000, 38,000, which it makes no sense.
00:34:08.000That 3,000 people all at once, all just like decided, you know what, at this point I'm turning the show off.
00:34:13.000But people are telling us it's crashing on them.
00:34:15.000The challenge is, let's say we are being negatively impacted by this and it's a breach of contract.
00:34:24.000When I sign up for YouTube and I agree to do this business, and a portion of my ad revenue goes to them, they have to abide by their side of the bargain as well.
00:34:32.000If they're telling me now that they're altering the terms without saying anything to me, and I sign an agreement, they're changing?
00:34:40.000I mean, if we sue, the court's gonna be like, YouTube's gonna say, it's not happening.
00:34:44.000And then I'm gonna say, well, I want Discovery to see exactly how their algorithm is doing this, and then it's probably gonna get thrown out because the court's just always, look, big corporations win.
00:34:54.000I mean, that's the thing, is that at the end of the day, You know, Google owning YouTube is going to have an army of attorneys who 24 hours a day will fight to ensure that no one can ever see a lick of the algorithm that they have that determines any of this, you know?
00:35:10.000They absolutely can't let any of that out.
00:35:23.000Look, already Alex Berenson got an opinion from, I think it's a federal court, that Big Tech does not have the ability to censor arbitrarily, or something to that effect.
00:35:53.000What can we do to get discovery or anything like that?
00:35:56.000We can argue that around this time, we saw a reduction in our live show viewership, and that's censorship, and they might just argue, no, your show sucks.
00:36:07.000The judge is going to be like, unless you can prove something was actually done, so... Well, maybe in Discovery we could see, hey, they're talking about limiting these and these channels.
00:36:16.000You won't even get to Discovery unless you can say, they did a thing to damage my business in violation of a contract.
00:36:23.000Everything that- Ian brings this up all the time, and this is right about.
00:36:25.000The one thing I don't agree with Ian on is he says, we gotta free the software code.
00:36:29.000I know if you guys have watched the show, you've heard him say it, and I'm like, why, why, why?
00:36:33.000But the- when he's talking about this just, we're gonna free the code and it's gonna fix everything, I'm like, you're wrong.
00:36:37.000But, when he says we gotta free the code, because otherwise you don't know what the corporations are doing, he's completely right.
00:36:43.000So I don't know if you, you know, freeing the code might not necessarily be the right thing, but there is a problem in that Facebook has been experimenting on people and manipulating people.
00:36:51.000We got that report from the Washington Post that their psychological operations targeting, you know, people, that it was mostly pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia.
00:36:59.000If we don't know what these platforms are doing, they could be doing illegal things.
00:37:25.000I mean, from the very beginning, I've always been talking about the intelligence agencies and their influence on big tech social media, and I think that's becoming more and more apparent.
00:37:35.000There's Fauci parody accounts that are being taken down because the U.S.
00:37:38.000government is saying, hey, this is not OK.
00:37:40.000We don't like you making fun of our Lord and Savior, Dr. Fauci.
00:37:43.000Hey, this former New York Times journalist bringing up scientific facts and studies and research, we don't like that because it goes against our agenda.
00:37:51.000And they're bending The rules of society and screwing everyone else over providing a huge disservice to everyone online by limiting the amount of information that could go into their ears and mind.
00:38:02.000That to me is godlike authority that they are absolutely abusing.
00:38:06.000They should have never been trusted in the first place with this power and authority, but yet here we are today, which is crazy.
00:38:12.000I'll tell you the one thing that we can do for the time being.
00:38:14.000Obviously, you know, so we had an issue with NewsGuard.
00:38:53.000They emailed me about TimCast.com and said that you had two stories alleging that Hunter Biden was helping secure funding for biolabs in Ukraine or something like that on your YouTube channel.
00:39:05.000And my response was just like, Those two stories that you're talking about are cited by two NewsGuard certified sources.
00:39:12.000And they went, oh yeah, sorry about that, never mind.
00:39:15.000So they tried claiming, falsely, that the Hunter Biden laptop story was fake, to me, that the emails weren't real, to me, NewsGuard, and I said, NewsGuard certified these two outlets who have independently verified the emails are real.
00:41:02.000Imagine if AT&T, as the example everyone uses, was intercepting your phone calls and they were like, I don't know, he said something I didn't like that I didn't think was true, so they hang up on you.
00:41:13.000For the time being, here's what y'all can do.
00:41:16.000YouTube is powerless against a popular show.
00:41:20.000They're completely powerless against it.
00:41:22.000They could shadow ban the channel, so that it could only be viewed if you type in the website URL, and then we post it on TimCast.com, and if you're a fan of the show, you find it.
00:41:32.000They are presumably trying everything in their power, and it's, I think other people have it worse than me, don't get me wrong, I think, you know, they've been going after Crowder, like, way harder than they go after us.
00:41:42.000So long as people actually like the show, actually tune in and be the notification, share the URL wherever you can.
00:41:48.000Oh, they'll start banning people one by one for sure, but you genuinely cannot stop a show that's popular when people decide, I'm going to tune in every day at eight, regardless of whether or not YouTube notifies me.
00:41:57.000So they're trying to stop people from finding it.
00:42:00.000But if people watching it say, no, I'm going to share it because it's a good show.
00:42:05.000I mean, to me, I think what is long overdue and what's going to be necessary is for Congress to not be toothless for these organizations, and it's going to take a consent decree, the same way that you've seen, you know, monolithic companies in the past where the government says, you've gone too far.
00:42:19.000There needs to be a consent decree on Google, consent decree for Twitter, especially given that we now know, and it's become widely apparent to anyone who's willing to see the truth, that in an election cycle, All these companies, the big tech companies, the large corporate media companies, banded together and created a cartel of information and said, no, voters aren't allowed to know this.
00:42:52.000Yeah, an end run around all the traditional gatekeepers that you see on cable news every night to information that you can seek yourself.
00:42:59.000I mean, it's the biggest threat to their entire business model.
00:43:01.000Yeah, it temporarily allowed a free market where people got to choose ideas and individuals and trusted individuals that, of course, did their work, did their homework over, of course, the propaganda.
00:43:12.000But there's a lot of cross currents in this, too.
00:43:14.000And it's just fascinating, this whole debate on tech and the media and everything and censorship.
00:43:19.000because some of the biggest proponents of a lot of the tech regulations that are working
00:43:24.000their way through Congress are the legacy media folks themselves, because it's a market
00:43:31.000They think if they can regulate tech more that they'll restore their position in this,
00:43:37.000you know, new ecosystem where Congress can sort of work the refs a little bit at all
00:43:42.000the platforms, and maybe CNN gets ranked higher, and like, you know, people on Facebook will
00:43:47.000see CNN's content more in their feed rather than Ben Shapiro, for example.
00:43:52.000So I think we got to be really careful here.
00:43:54.000I think there's two distinctions, right?
00:43:56.000There's putting government more in charge of refereeing that whole thing.
00:44:02.000And the sort of blanket things that you said, Smug, which I think is fantastic, where you could say, look, I mean, if there's a direct call to physical violence, a media call to physical violence, yeah, I mean, maybe you can censor that.
00:44:21.000And you don't have a right to censor anyone, regardless of their political opinion.
00:44:25.000And I mean, I don't know what normal person in this country could look at the last couple of years and everything that we were fed, you know, on COVID or anything else, and think, um, we don't need a free market of ideas.
00:44:38.000We don't need a debate that lingers for a long time.
00:44:40.000That people should be allowed to say stuff that's wrong.
00:44:43.000That people saying stuff that is wrong and not being censored for it is actually probably healthy for our democracy.
00:44:49.000So, uh, what, what, what, what was the internet the eighties?
00:44:52.000Like the first iteration was an early 80s.
00:45:07.000And it was like, hey, I need to send information for a database really quickly or whatever, so we'll connect these computers.
00:45:11.000And then you get the early 90s, and I remember watching this video where this guy is saying, maybe you guys have seen it, he's like, the internet's not going to catch on.
00:45:27.000So back then, The powers that be, the legacy, not just the media, the politicians, the financial institutions, the wealthy elites, they were like, who cares?
00:45:38.000Then the internet became ubiquitous and they were like, who cares?
00:45:42.000Then Donald Trump won the election and they went, my God, what have we done?
00:45:45.000And now, since then, they've been doing everything in their power to reverse this.
00:45:49.000In 2018, we saw the synchronized banning of Alex Jones.
00:46:17.000The Sun has an article talking about how, you know, the videos came out and they were plotting essentially to stop Donald Trump's reelection after 2020.
00:46:26.000And you could see that they rigged the game, because I think a lot of people who helped start these big tech social media companies, well, a lot of them are connected to, of course, intelligence agencies.
00:46:37.000I've been talking about this for a very long time, and we have been seeing big tech social media act on the behest of them more and more, and it's becoming more clear and more obvious.
00:46:45.000And I think They realized that if they could control the algorithm, they could control people's perceptions, they could control people's minds.
00:46:52.000And that's a power that is extremely addicting.
00:46:55.000I think that's a power that has influenced a lot of these major decisions.
00:46:58.000And I think what we're seeing right now is a slow squeeze.
00:47:01.000First, you got to get the radicals, you got to get the crazies, you got to get the racist.
00:47:04.000And everyone's like, Yeah, sure, this crazy guy who believes in flat earth or whatever, get rid of him, whatever.
00:47:28.000CNN, Anderson Cooper, come on in with your CIA connections.
00:47:30.000You could say whatever you want with us.
00:47:32.000We'll even do deals with you, which they did, which is absolutely crazy.
00:47:35.000When we had Dr. Drew on the show, this was really funny, because we started talking about the pandemic, and then all of a sudden, on YouTube's side, interruptions, the stream is freezing.
00:47:54.000And I'm just like, dude, at this point, you're not convincing me this is a coincidence.
00:47:57.000We had someone on the show, I can't remember who it was, but Luke started talking about the CIA and then all of a sudden the stream freezes.
00:48:04.000And then people came back later and they're like, you know, there's like a minute missing from your show.
00:48:28.000We fact check the manipulations in the media, particularly with things like Russiagate and Ukrainegate repeatedly.
00:48:33.000We rag on Barack Obama for killing kids.
00:48:35.000These things are all true and in the mainstream press.
00:48:38.000And they just really wish, the people running big tech who wish Trump never won, the politicians, they really wish that we would just shut up and say the things they tell us are approved to say.
00:49:05.000We all agreed it was going to be Hillary, right?
00:49:07.000Like they were they were so shocked and they're like, OK, this is such a legitimate threat
00:49:12.000for our ability to be able to kind of like prognosticate what's coming next and help
00:49:18.000steer it in the way that we need it steered.
00:49:21.000And so when when Trump shows up and it's just an absolute just it crumbles what they needed
00:49:26.000to happen is when you started seeing these things at Google where they're having like
00:49:29.000a struggle session to be like, how do we prevent this from ever happening again?
00:49:33.000Because we don't want anything to happen that we can't predict and control.
00:49:36.000And the connections are a lot more obvious than people think.
00:49:39.000Even Eric Schmidt, the former head of Alphabet, now working with the Weaponized Information Pentagon Board, by the way.
00:49:46.000But when he was head of Alphabet, he was working with Hillary Clinton on her campaign, and he even bankrolled a lot of the early think tanks that came out with the term fake news before the 2020 election.
00:49:59.000I was like, all right, don't you see this as a huge bias as you starting and weaponizing the term fake news and using it against predominantly the Republicans with this larger push for censorship when you're a part of Alphabet, Google, and YouTube?
00:50:14.000And he ended up cursing at me because this was also outside of the Bilderberg meeting.
00:51:24.000Well, just real quick, I'm going to pull up this story from TimCast so you can all see that we here at TimCast IRL, we're an opinion show, but our home-based website, TimCast.com, is also certified by NewsGuard.
00:52:02.000We try very much to make a family-friendly show debunking the lies and exposing this manipulation.
00:52:07.000The most important thing here, and the one thing they really don't like, is that we are outright exposing how they're poisoning the well to make you see this and say, Republican, Republican equals fake news.
00:52:18.000No, the reality is there's a video outright show... Look it, here you go.
00:52:21.000Let me play the video for you and you tell me what you think.
00:52:25.000I'm not going to tell you what to think.
00:53:37.000Well, I think what's happening in that video, and I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that Joe Biden is sort of looking off camera to some handler in the back of the room.
00:53:47.000You know, because they probably primed him for this, like, oh, you're going to go up there, you can give a speech, and then you're supposed to sit down or whatever.
00:55:25.000I care about knowing the truth, and people having the ability to make decisions for themselves based on the best information they can get.
00:55:33.000I don't care what you do with your life, just don't hurt other people, and that's the right way to go about things.
00:55:38.000Let me give you information to the best of my abilities that's accurate, so you can survive.
00:55:42.000Hey, learn how to have chickens, learn how to have goats, watch out, there might be a recession coming, all that good stuff, and then you do you, I do me.
00:55:48.000They don't like that, because they think, If you shatter confidence in Joe Biden during a time of war with Russia, you're putting our efforts at risk.
00:55:57.000If you come out and question the Ukrainian propaganda, and don't toe the line 100%, because I don't trust Vladimir Putin either, but I'm not going to sit here and believe all the garbage lies they spew about Ukraine just so I march behind war.
00:56:14.000But it's because the consensus reality gets people to march in lockstep behind them as they go and blow up kids and wage war for pipelines and oil and conquest.
00:56:31.000That really, and this isn't just the media, it's your run-of-the-mill liberals on the internet now too, that, you know, they put the right flag at the right time on their Twitter bio, you know, they're enforcing this sort of lockstep thing, Tim, that you're describing here, and then they've sort of made it their lives work to sort of attack people who challenge that. I don't know
00:56:54.000where that comes from, why people dedicate their lives to this, but it's fascinating and it's
00:57:00.000And then, you know, I mean, that DHS disinformation board that Nina Jankowicz, remember they were
00:57:05.000going to create that? The government was going to tell us, you know, what the truth was.
00:57:09.000They actually tried to institutionalize this current thing in Forrester.
00:57:15.000Her job was basically going to be to be the Karen of the internet.
00:57:20.000So, tomorrow, I'm going to see an armored truck pull up, two guys in suits are going to walk out with a couple briefcases, and they're going to just pop them open with a contract, and they're going to be like, we agree.
00:57:43.000It was the book was called economic hitman.
00:57:48.000I forgot that his name is So what he said was basically, you know first they'll go to a country and say hey do X then the person says no then they come back and say okay if you do X will give you Y and Then the person says no, then they say, okay, we're invading you to remove you to get someone who will do it.
00:58:04.000So it's like, we want oil or we want bananas or who knows what.
00:58:07.000There's something similar in the United States with everything.
00:58:32.000So I really do think what we're seeing now is After the banning of Alex Jones, it caused a massive ripple effect, and that had negative consequences.
00:58:41.000The rise of Parler, Gab, Minds, now Truth Social, and they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that was bad.
00:58:59.000They've got to do it silently and slowly.
00:59:02.000The strategy now, I had a guy from, a former Trump administration guy, tell me this.
00:59:06.000He said the goal is, if conservative media is effective 60% of the time, that means over a long enough period of time, Democrats lose.
00:59:14.000So what they need to do is hobble the conservatives only by 11% to put them at 49% so that Democrats hit 50% and over time Democrats win.
00:59:23.000So they're avoiding now the hardcore overt banning.
00:59:27.000They're doing it very, very slowly to create a narrative like, oh Crowder got a strike because he did this, then they're gonna wait, then they're gonna... Every time they give him a strike, they're knocking him off YouTube for two weeks.
00:59:58.000Confessions by an Economic Hitman, a great book by John Perkins, and in the book he detailed exactly how the IMF, the World Bank, were working with US Intel agencies to extort, coerce, and manipulate developing countries for the benefit of an unaccountable, ruling, corporate, banking elite.
01:00:14.000So he talks about invested interests of governments not working for the benefit of the people but working for the benefit of the people who put them in charge and that of course are the special interests and the big powers that of course are there behind the scenes and of course these same powers are obviously doing the same thing understanding that now on the internet people have a lot of power people have a lot of influence they want that power they want all that influence and they're going to do anything And everything, just to make sure that they have a monopoly on it.
01:00:41.000And then you see other countries see that model and put it into effect themselves, like China with Belt and Road.
01:02:32.000Kissinger, Ben Bernanke, these powerful elites are like, this guy, this salt-of-the-earth dude challenging me in the things I do is not someone who's supposed to be standing next to me on top of the mountain.
01:02:45.000And at some point, for some reason, they lost control, and here we are.
01:02:49.000And that's the thing, is there is a class that thrives on predictability.
01:02:54.000That it's absolutely for them to maintain what they have.
01:02:57.000I mean, you see right now, it's become crystal clear that there is absolutely an academic, coastal university class of individuals who demand that the world exist in the way that they want.
01:03:08.000And if you have any sort of a viewpoint which opposes that, you're a bigot, you need to be silenced, you're a danger, you're a domestic terrorist.
01:03:16.000And an extension of this is whenever they see something that did not go how they planned and doesn't ensure that the boat is not rocked, I mean, goes right back to Trump getting elected, it just outrages them.
01:03:27.000And seeing the swing back, like, the amount of force that they brought to bear against Trump is unprecedented.
01:03:35.000When a former president can get kicked off of social media, I mean, that's gotta be stunning.
01:03:41.000I mean they decided because Hillary Clinton lost an election they would break the internet.
01:03:55.000I think it's probably partially true to a certain degree.
01:03:58.000It's the idea that around 2016 the internet slowly transformed into a completely astroturfed platform where very few real people actually exist.
01:04:12.000The reason I think it's probably true is because whenever I go to events, I meet people, regular people, and they're just like, oh, I'm banned from Twitter, so I can't follow you.
01:04:28.000I'm wondering if at some point there was a real concern with regular people being able to organize online, particularly, look, you look at the Arab Spring.
01:04:34.000Then Trump's victor and they went, uh-oh, it can happen here?
01:04:42.000That's why when Elon Musk was like, I'm gonna buy Twitter, all of the right-wing voices and libertarian, moderate type saw huge gains, and all the left and celebrities dropped dramatically.
01:05:13.000Let's do another segment exemplifying exactly why they want us censored.
01:05:18.000From the Daily Mail, exclusive Hunter gone wild!
01:05:21.000Unhinged videos show the president's son dancing shirtless, slipping down a water slide naked, and entertaining hookers at debauched pool party in $4,140 per night Malibu rental.
01:05:32.000Wasn't the government paying for that?
01:05:59.000See, this is the kind of thing that makes them panic.
01:06:02.000When you expose, there's another story, which is probably more important, that Hunter Biden's being accused of working or being under the control of foreign influence.
01:06:13.000And so, actually, they're probably more happy for us to talk about Hunter going wild and, you know, I don't know, just living his best life with group sex and hookers.
01:06:22.000Because the thing is that when they can try to make the story that conservatives mad Hunter lives a salacious life, Yeah, they can completely distract from, well, he was doing a lot of negotiations and offering access to his dad for a lot of money.
01:06:37.000Yeah, they want to make it a tabloid story when the truth is, Joe Biden said, and I don't know if people remember this, Joe Biden said, you know, I had no knowledge of Hunter's business dealings at all.
01:06:47.000And then all, you know, the leaks come out of all the emails of, you know, he's going to meet with
01:06:54.000Biden's business partner on a trip over to China. And then the other emails of Hunter Biden
01:07:01.000setting up the family office in Georgetown, where he's going to need keys for Joe Biden
01:07:40.000I think the whole story also goes down to the relationship that Biden has with his family.
01:07:45.000I think there's a lot of contention there, especially with the latest kind of diary that also has been corroborated by the federal authorities that also have a lot of serious questions.
01:07:53.000I think At the end of the day, there was a lot more to this father-son relationship that is very troublesome, that I think is worth investigating more as well, because if you truly look at Biden, I mean, there's so many instances where you could say, holy cow, this is leading down a pathway of something very dangerous, of something very nefarious, of something really nasty and bad, that I think we're still only scratching the surface of.
01:08:18.000And as we're investigating every little detail about Donald Trump's private life, We're not even looking at what Biden's been doing.
01:08:25.000I'm so glad you said that, because it's absolutely fascinating that we're talking about a court case in New York on Donald Trump and the raid of Mar-a-Lago.
01:08:36.000Meanwhile, you know, the current president of the United States, his son selling access to his office.
01:08:41.000We know all this stuff to be facts now, and there's no investigation in Congress right now on any of that stuff.
01:08:47.000But I know that Republicans have said, and they've promised, if we retake the House, that they're gonna subpoena people, and we're gonna start to have investigations on this.
01:08:55.000And I mean, the greatest irony to me is that, like, you hear case after case that's been filed against Trump, all the allegations that the media was told to go and report on all these things that Donald Trump did in Russia.
01:09:06.000Well, actually, Hunter Biden was doing all along while arranging deals with the Vice President of the United States to capitalize on this.
01:09:14.000And when they talk about, oh, Donald Trump must be compromised, there's all this compromise.
01:09:17.000Meanwhile, the vice president's son is doing a lot of compromise stuff while setting up business deals.
01:09:23.000It's the censorship and stuff like this that makes me want to vote for Trump more than ever.
01:09:28.000I really do think DeSantis would be better, especially with the Martha's Vineyard thing.
01:10:07.000You know, I tried that, I was like, hey, maybe, you know, maybe we'll find a good Democrat, and then you're just, no, you know what, just send in Trump.
01:10:14.000And then let Trump do whatever he wants.
01:10:17.000I think, you know, if Trump does run again, I think the one issue he's going to run into is if he centers his campaign around 2020 and the personal politics of grievance and that sort of thing.
01:10:30.000I just, I don't think it's going to resonate with Republicans the same way as when he was coming down, you know, the golden escalator and was saying, I alone can fix it.
01:10:38.000Because a lot of people believed I alone can fix it, but now he's been president, and he's going to have a record that he accomplished or didn't accomplish while he was president, and there's going to be other people on stage attacking that.
01:10:49.000And of course, I, speaking on behalf of all women everywhere, they view DeSantis as dreamy and attractive, and they would vote for him over Donald Trump any day.
01:10:58.000So DeSantis is a real path to victory, because he's going to get all those ladies hot and bothered.
01:11:02.000I mean, why DeSantis is having a lot of success right now is because he's fighting on the issues that animate the Republican base.
01:11:10.000Like, you saw recent polling in Florida.
01:11:12.000Six months ago, Trump was above DeSantis, and now you see DeSantis is- DeSantis is talking about- he's putting up dubs, and Trump's talking about Ls.
01:11:21.000And there's a lot to criticize on Donald Trump, especially with his record when he was in office.
01:11:25.000There's a lot of things you could point to, especially even as a conservative or Republican, being like, yeah, that was not a smart decision.
01:11:32.000I don't want to get into it here because I'll be talking for a while.
01:11:35.000But DeSantis also is being attacked very severely.
01:11:40.000The corporate media came out and they all called him a kidnapper today.
01:11:43.000They all called him a human trafficker when, of course, he did what essentially the Biden administration has been doing for months, shipping migrants all across the United States.
01:11:51.000But when he does it for a political reason, he's now being labeled.
01:11:55.000He's going to be dragged into court just like Donald Trump has, just like Alex Jones has.
01:11:59.000And he's being sued by an activist organization that, of course, receives money from a George Soros fund.
01:12:05.000That is connected to the Open Society Network and of course he's going to have more legal battles now and I think this is something important to note here because a lot of the major opponents against the current establishment, all of them are pretty much in court right now and I don't think that's a coincidence.
01:12:19.000Well this is a bit of a hobby horse for me is that the issue of left-wing dark money where you have billionaires you have a Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss right who funded these various left-wing groups and this is an overseas billionaire this is a foreign national who's spending hundreds of millions of dollars here in the
01:12:39.000U.S. He's given over three million to Stacey Abrams, over 16 million to Joe
01:12:42.000Biden, to influence what he wants to happen. So these groups are allowed to exist
01:12:47.000outside of normal politics in the sense that they don't have to report. The
01:12:52.000Russians spend $100,000 on Facebook ads and the Hillary Clinton and the
01:12:56.000Democrats want to break the Internet because of that fact.
01:12:59.000And this Swiss billionaire can spend hundreds of millions of dollars impacting our elections, and the media's like, well, you know what?
01:13:08.000And it goes to all these left-wing groups that, there are various things, like Demand Justice, who basically wants to just pack the Supreme Court.
01:13:15.000So, there is, no matter what they can do, you know, there is still one body in this country that has to follow the Constitution.
01:13:24.000And that just enrages them to no end, is that, wait, we thought if we control the media, and we control, you know, big tech, and we control Hollywood, that means that, like, everyone had to listen to us.
01:13:35.000Why is the Supreme Court not following what we want?
01:13:37.000So they now have this left-wing group pushing to pack the Supreme Court.
01:13:40.000And you see, like, so many groups, whether it's these, like, fake news left-wing agencies who try to decide what is truth, what is false.
01:13:50.000It's all funded by the same, like, Open Air Society.
01:13:52.000All the left-wing groups are all funded by these billionaires.
01:13:56.000Arabella Advisors, remember that name.
01:13:57.000The umbrella organization that feeds cash down to all of these groups in this fake news
01:14:01.000network that the left wing has created through Courier Newsroom and States Newsroom and all
01:14:07.000of these, you know, the Michigan Advance.
01:14:11.000It's this Michigan local media thing and actually it's funded by George Soros and this entire
01:14:16.000network and it pushes left wing propaganda, the news feeds of Americans every single day.
01:14:21.000But, you know, the thing that's interesting is, like, you look at the left, the left-wing, you know, dark money folks who are, like, financing things like this DeSantis, the lawsuit against DeSantis, you know, where is the lawsuit for all the migrants who died in the back of that boxcar in Texas?
01:14:38.000That sheriff didn't care about that at all, did he?
01:15:06.000They don't care about the reality that millions of Americans have to live, you know, live under when you have to absorb millions, now millions of, we're breaking records, millions of people coming in across the border.
01:15:17.000You know, the schools are overwhelmed, the social services, and they can't take care of 50 migrants in a beach community?
01:15:24.000You have the coastal elites who they show up to like their various book parties and everything
01:15:29.000and they have to let each other know I'm a good person which means I you know I support
01:15:34.000uh sanctuary cities and in this house we believe in science and sanctuary cities
01:15:38.000because they never have to live with the consequences of their beliefs that they
01:15:45.000Just the same way that they're willing to take private jets and demand everyone else eat worms, you know?
01:15:49.000Like, it's the exact same situation where now they're having to live with the consequences of their beliefs that they want imposed on everyone else.
01:15:56.000And they're like, whoa, did it even take two days before they could do it?
01:15:58.000Like, the military needs to get these people out of our vacation area right now.
01:16:03.000So I'm going to give a shout out real quick before we move on to the next segment.
01:16:07.000They said that I should set up an email address where people can email so that we can compile evidence of shadow banning and use that in any potential lawsuits.
01:16:14.000So if you, as a viewer of Timcast, have encountered any Suspected shadow banning or strange anomalies.
01:16:24.000That's shadow B-A-N-N-E-D at timcast.com with screenshots and an explanation.
01:16:31.000I understand for a lot of people, it may, some people make mistakes.
01:16:35.000And how do you send a screenshot of not getting a notification?
01:16:39.000And then they can always argue like, well, we don't always send notifications for everything, but people are saying it's a new phenomenon.
01:16:44.000But some people are pointing out they can't comment.
01:16:47.000That the videos are being listed as children's videos, so they can't interact at all, which is just insane and not the case on our end.
01:16:54.000So there are clearly strange happenings.
01:16:56.000And I suppose the argument is, if we compile enough of this and show a pattern occurring among our viewers, we may be able to at least convince a judge something discernible is happening and we should have a review as to what?
01:17:12.000But I suppose if we can show a pattern of activity, then YouTube would have to do a review or we'd be able to get discovery on any communications about restricting our show.
01:17:21.000Do you have multiple Wi-Fi's here with different IP addresses?
01:17:28.000Well, I'm just saying, I mean, the video evidence is the best evidence.
01:17:32.000Theoretically, you could like, you know, post a video and this notification will go out and on a separate screen have, you know, set up somebody as a subscriber and try to see if you can catch it that way.
01:17:46.000For the past couple of weeks, we've had this phenomenon where when I launch the live stream, we create a special little thumbnail.
01:17:55.000Before the show, I press record and we have a staring contest because we're basically lining up this thumbnail.
01:18:02.000For some reason, and it's thanks to Ian for catching this, the video for IRL is just a gray box with nothing in it.
01:18:10.000And so that is, I believe, intentional.
01:18:13.000Because what happens is people will be scrolling YouTube and they see a gray box, because the thumbnail is what attracts people, and they just scroll past it.
01:18:19.000And so, you know, why is this happening?
01:18:22.000Why did all of a sudden, randomly, our thumbnails just stop appearing?
01:18:26.000To me, on my end, I see the thumbnail.
01:18:29.000I pull up my account, I go over, I see the thumbnail.
01:18:32.000I wonder if this is for people who are passive, like, if you're a passive viewer, if you're not subscribed, you watch regularly, you're just seeing a grey box.
01:18:41.000That, I think, has been a huge detriment, and I think it's intentional.
01:18:44.000Well, the power that these companies can wield using algorithms and their technology to get the outcome that they want is unbelievable.
01:18:52.000I saw this research paper that a gentleman did where he went to China, he purchased a phone there, he signed up for a TikTok account, and then he saw what kind of videos it was recommending.
01:19:03.000of videos over there were like the triumph of the Chinese people and like, look at all these
01:19:47.000Well, I mean, that's what I'm thinking is that you look back to World War 2, you know, the Battle of the Bulge, you've had these, like, massive tank battles.
01:19:54.000There had to have been a time when, you know, before a shot is fired, everyone hops out of the tanks and says, okay, what are your correct pronouns?
01:20:03.000I watched an old war documentary about D-Day.
01:20:06.000And actually, before they even fought, the U-boats laid land, everybody walks out peacefully, shakes hands, and the Americans asked the Germans their pronouns.
01:20:14.000They all agreed, then they went back in the boats, backed up, and then stormed the beach.
01:20:20.000I mean, I have to be honest, like, if the reality of future warfare was arguments, I'd be okay with that.
01:20:27.000I'd prefer that, actually, because, you know, war sucks.
01:20:29.000And so if, like, boats crash land on the beach and they run out and they're carrying, like, you know, plushies, and then they run up to each other and they're like, you smell!
01:20:43.000Honestly, like at this point, I think something that, you know, we've seen from the past 20 years when it was the US engaged in the global war on terror, and then I think the Syrian conflict was a great example, is you're seeing less and less of, you know, large world actors, the United States, major powers, China, trying to engage in actual, like, Open warfare, right?
01:21:05.000They'll fund a side, they'll arm a side, but they don't want to necessarily get entangled in the conflict themselves.
01:21:13.000Like, I think prime example is you bring up China and Taiwan.
01:21:17.000People are like, oh my god, when is China going to like have their ships hit the beaches of Taiwan and storm it?
01:21:22.000And Well, I mean, I think China's, it's become pretty clear to them that we can just strangle countries at this point with economic might, you know?
01:21:31.000Like, what's the need to have to invade America when we can use Amazon to make this country dependent on us?
01:21:41.000If you were going to come to me and talk about some kind of nightmare dystopian future, and then tried claiming Neuralink and all that stuff, and I'd be like, yeah, yeah.
01:21:51.000But if you come to me and tell me that, you know, if a guy came to me and said he was from the future, a nightmare dystopia with Terminators and everything, and they're all run by Amazon, I'd be like, yeah, makes sense.
01:22:28.000When Yang ran on the UBI thing, what I'm surprised more people didn't question is, OK, if you create This dependence on making sure that like, okay, I will get this, you know, dole from the government.
01:22:41.000The next step for them then becomes, what if you do something that displeases me?
01:22:46.000You know, what if your social score or social credit score goes down?
01:22:49.000We're going to cut how much money you get and you're gonna have to be hungry.
01:22:52.000And maybe that'll teach you a lesson of what happens when you don't follow the regime's orders.
01:22:55.000Yeah, it's a carbon social credit score.
01:22:58.000It's what the World Economic Forum is talking about.
01:23:00.000They literally just wrote an article bragging about how everyone complied with the lockdowns, which means the next climate change lockdowns are more likely to be complied with as well.
01:23:09.000That's literally the thinking of a lot of these people.
01:23:11.000Did you see the power companies, I think it was in Nevada, maybe California as well, that was sending notifications during the blackouts and the heat waves, that they were sending out notifications on the thermostat, smart thermostats in people's houses, saying, I'm sorry, but you can't turn down.
01:24:30.000The poor people don't deserve refrigerators or clean water or showers.
01:24:36.000Y'all can have cold crickets and cold showers because I ain't giving up my steak.
01:24:41.000I imagine that's what Bill Gates is saying.
01:24:43.000And I mean, like I've always said, is that to a certain extent, they want to say you have to eat the bugs, not because it's ecologically sound, but because they'd like to be able to show their power.
01:24:54.000Like, you can make your enemies or your subordinates eat bugs.
01:25:10.000It's not immediately bad, but there are some concerns.
01:25:14.000The idea is that you can be cremated, you can be embalmed or whatever, or you can be dropped into this vat, you know, of dirt and you get turned into dirt, right?
01:25:23.000It doesn't immediately mean they're going to use the dirt for food, the soil, I should say, because it's going to be fresh human compost soil.
01:25:30.000In, uh, I think Colorado, I'm not sure.
01:25:32.000They ban the sale of this soil for, uh, food for human consumption.
01:25:36.000But, questions then are, is the soil being transferred to farms for grain for cow consumption?
01:25:42.000To what degree are you okay with eating former human?
01:25:45.000Like, is it, if a corn grows from the human, is then eaten by a pig, Are you okay eating that?
01:25:50.000I've seen The Lion King, uh, The Circle of Life.
01:26:23.000What it really should have been is all the poor people on Earth working, eating crickets, and everyone up in the big ring are trafficking children.
01:26:54.000And Epstein's on his island sitting there smoking a cigar next to his picture of Bill Clinton in a dress.
01:26:59.000And there's like this 18-year-old kid who's a newbie in the whole trafficking kids thing, you know, a new recruit.
01:27:05.000And he goes, you know kid, before the internet, nobody knew we were doing this.
01:27:10.000Now it's like, I had to have a run-in with the FBI.
01:27:13.000Then 2020 comes along, this kid's now a bit older, and he's like, man, how much fun, how cool would it have been back in the 60s when no one knew you were committing atrocities against children, right?
01:27:24.000I think these people know this, and they're really talking about like, when we were younger, nobody knew we were doing it.
01:27:32.000No journalist was allowed on the island.
01:27:34.000Anybody who tried to write about it would be ridiculed, or we would simply go to the boss of the company and say, do not write it, and they would.
01:27:41.000Look at ABC News with that Amy Rohrbach woman.
01:27:43.000Yep, she said we had this guy dead to rights, like on video.
01:27:50.000I was talking to a guy, and I passively bring up Veritas, and he goes, ah, but they're all lying, you know.
01:27:55.000And then I was like, what do you lie about?
01:27:56.000And he was like, well, I don't know, I read somewhere, and I'm like, no, I'll tell you what.
01:28:00.000James O'Keefe got leaked this video exposing Epstein, and boy were they pissed.
01:28:05.000So I'm willing to bet they pulled out all the stops with their billions of dollars trying to fame that guy.
01:28:09.000And he was like, well... And I was like, do you think these elite pedos who are on private islands, you think they wouldn't spend at least a million dollars lying about somebody?
01:29:40.000So they don't like when we call that out because they want the narrative to be like the FBI whistleblowers are pointing out that it's a bunch of MAGA extremists but the reality is we got Antifa and BLM who've destroyed cities across this country a couple years ago and like yeah there are some creepy weirdo right-wingers that and there's some really extreme stuff that's happened around the world but the overall terror in high numbers comes from the left hands down and they're desperately trying to lie about it and they play dirty games like the ADL claims that like It's the weirdest thing.
01:31:09.000Next time there's gonna be, like, a protest, we just need, like, 500 people to join Antifa.
01:31:16.000No, I mean it, because it's all about the mob, right?
01:31:19.000If there's gonna be like a hundred people at an Antifa thing, and they're all wearing hoodies and stuff, and then we're like, okay, we'll get 500 people.
01:31:25.000Those 500 people can be like, we vote not to throw the brick.
01:31:30.000Then they're gonna be like, someone will throw it, and then the other Antifa will be like, you're a fascist!
01:31:34.000So basically, if you go in there, and you're like, yeah, I'm on board with this Antifa thing, the moment you see someone trying to get violent or doing whatever, call them a fascist.
01:31:43.000Be like, hey, let's play the game too!
01:32:27.000Just I feel like it's just in like the last five years, maybe in the beginning of Trump, it went from like we disagree on policy to if you don't want this policy, you're for violence or you're killing people.
01:34:20.000But what you get with the left is, on a daily basis, people getting punched in the head, shoved, attacked.
01:34:25.000Benny Johnson just had his podium kicked over by an unhinged lunatic.
01:34:29.000Now it's starting to get more serious where this guy in North Dakota rams a kid.
01:34:34.000And he was drunk, and I'm just imagining, you know, maybe it's my bias, but I'm imagining this guy is seeing this kid, and they're having a dance party, and he thought the kid was part of a Republican extremist group.
01:34:46.000But the fact that he even thought being a part of a Republican group made the kid extremist in some way, he was paranoid and delusional and drunk.
01:35:45.000So, you know, I see a lot of conservatives actually saying that on Twitter.
01:35:48.000I'm being a tad bit facetious, that's the point, but I'm sure they'll take it out of context anyway.
01:35:52.000But there's a fair point when you see the DOJ being weaponized and going after Trump supporters and Biden doing this stuff that, you know what?
01:36:09.000When they say our democracy, they ain't talking about you.
01:36:12.000They're talking about them and the cult.
01:36:14.000And they have their weird little system, and we have a republic that has stood since 1776, technically longer if you want to talk about American culture not developed, and they want to end that.
01:36:24.000If we want to preserve it, Yeah, their quote-unquote democracy, whatever it is they're actually doing, their cult, that cult can't be allowed to persist.
01:36:32.000And it's very clear that they do want to destroy that way of life, that they actively see it.
01:36:37.000When they describe America to them, it's an irredeemable fascist state that requires this complete new order to come in.
01:36:45.000What they hate is representative democracy, our republic.
01:36:49.000What they want is a controlled system of elites, this collusion between, you know, tech and the intel community, DOJ, the media, the bureaucrats who have been there 40 years.
01:37:00.000They want to be able to control all of that and be accountable to no one.
01:37:03.000And that's what Donald Trump was so great at.
01:37:05.000And I think We may be seeing the end of the Republic and moving in a direction similar to Rome with the launch of a true Empire, which hopefully won't be the Deep State, but I don't know.
01:37:16.000We've talked about the fall of the Roman Empire and how this is very similar to it, and I'm like, maybe it's the fall of the Roman Republic actually into the Empire.
01:39:37.000And so we saw it with cops resigning when they didn't want to pander, didn't play these games, when they didn't want to be demonized, and we're seeing it now with FBI agents blowing the whistle, being like, yo, that's unconstitutional.
01:39:46.000People who swore an oath of constitution, I think, for the most part, did it for the right reason.
01:39:50.000But when you got bad bosses and you don't speak out, well, then you're part of it.
01:40:16.000Nobody wants to be in a woke military.
01:40:17.000Imagine getting drafted into a woke military.
01:40:20.000I mean, and instead of prioritizing how to fight, you get prioritized about gender pronouns.
01:40:26.000And I mean, I think I think it's a complete like, you know, parallel between what's happening in the law enforcement in the FBI and in the military, where the top brass, the upper echelons have all been completely politicized.
01:40:38.000And they see that the way to advance is to agree with this regime of like okay well why don't we just condense power we decide what's good and we punish anyone who makes who rocks the boat yeah let's throw out the field the field manual we're going to go read white fragility exactly that's that's how we're going to handle things in the army
01:40:56.000Ian bought Genderqueer, that book with the graphic images in it.
01:41:07.000But I mean, I think it's important, like I've tweeted out images from that book so people realize when, you know, you'll see the headline in like New York Times or Washington Post of where it says, Republicans banning, you know, like transgender authors book, right?
01:41:23.000And then if you actually show images of what's inside this book and the demands that it be placed in children's libraries, like we're talking like five, six-year-olds to be seen showing these images.
01:41:32.000Yeah, they act like it's like, you know, Huck Finn.
01:42:10.000Well, I said on the Howl 100, but that is a bold thing to try and accomplish.
01:42:14.000But Tom McDonald's Riot reached number three in sales on on billboard so that's that's awesome glad to hear it we got a bunch of new music in the works too but we got a lot of stuff we're gonna be working on so you know it'll come out when it comes out i guess i'm not gonna you know it's kind of a bummer because we've been playing music for a long time we used to play music on the show and so a lot of people have requested it
01:42:34.000So I hate to be like, ah, it's going to take another year to get anything done, but it is what it is.
01:42:38.000That might be something that you consider for like, you know, you're saying a concept album or something is a band named Shadow Band.
01:43:10.000Yeah, it kind of feels like we're in They Live, you know, with how weird the agenda's become.
01:43:14.000Like, are there aliens secretly, you know, manipulating people?
01:43:18.000Well, I mean, that story of how they're like in the Air Force, we don't want you to say the words mom or dad.
01:43:23.000I mean, that's insidious on a number of levels of separating them from family, of trying to create this, like, your family is the state.
01:43:31.000It's, you know, Joe Biden is your father now.
01:43:33.000And if you look at the falls of empires, specifically the Soviet Union, it predominantly failed because it prioritized ideology over merit.
01:43:41.000And I think that's what we're doing here in the United States.
01:44:23.000It's important to wear the t-shirts because it's one of the few ways that a political message can't be censored.
01:44:28.000A lot of the shirts I can't even wear on this show because if I do, the show would get hit.
01:44:33.000So thebestpoliticalshirts.com, one of the best ways to kind of do your lazy form of activism.
01:44:38.000There have been moments where Luke will walk in from his trailer after work, and we'll get ready for the show, and I'm like, he's wearing a shirt, and I won't give any specific example, but I'll be like, bro, you can't wear that, are you nuts?
01:44:54.000Maybe it is going to start becoming like they live, where in real time, YouTube's just going to start blurring out the shirt, because it doesn't agree with you.
01:45:02.000All right, Max Reddick says, Tim, I'm watching a debate between Anna Kasparian and Dennis Prager.
01:45:14.000The challenge with getting anyone like David or Anna or anyone else is that they do their own shows.
01:45:19.000So I would be saying like, hey David, don't do your show, come do mine!
01:45:23.000And that's why it's like, I can respect why getting left pundits on the show is difficult, but it's no excuse for a lot of these activists who won't come on, you know what I mean?
01:45:30.000But I'll reach out to David, I've known David for like 11 years, and I think we would have an interesting conversation.
01:45:38.000I've had conversations with him many times.
01:45:41.000And one example is, he published a story where he said something.
01:45:45.000I'll keep it vague, because it was a few years ago.
01:45:48.000And I messaged him on Facebook, because I've known him for a decade, and I said, hey David, here's the source, and I sent him a link, and I'm like, that was incorrect, and he just ignores it.
01:46:08.000We published a story that said, North Dakota man confesses to killing teenager for being Republican.
01:46:14.000And I said, we probably shouldn't say it that way because What he really did was he said he killed him and the kid was part of a Republican extremist group, so let's make sure we're being as specific as possible.
01:46:25.000Because, you know, what his real reason was in the affidavit was that he was threatened by the kid who happened to be a Republican extremist.
01:46:32.000I think that is an admission into his motive and everything like that, but I want to make sure that we're getting everything as precise as possible.
01:46:38.000You take far less editorial license than CNN and MSNBC do.
01:46:43.000You know, look, I'm not in charge of editorial at TimCast.com on purpose because I don't want to go to them and tell them, you know, like what stories to do at all.
01:47:23.000So we'll have conversations on editorial policy, but for the most part, I would say it's 95% independent.
01:47:29.000And all I'm trying to do is frame check things.
01:47:32.000One example is, I said we shouldn't say pro-life or pro-choice because those are political terms.
01:47:38.000We should say pro-abortion or anti-abortion.
01:47:40.000If someone's arguing in favor of a bill that would allow abortion, they're pro-abortion.
01:47:43.000If they're arguing against it, they're anti-abortion.
01:47:45.000Pro-life and pro-choice mean different things to different people.
01:47:48.000Even among people who support pro-life, it could mean something slightly different.
01:47:51.000and it's amazing that like that you know that process you described is what basically used to be journalism and now it's the washington post and taylor lorenz writing something and then for the next week there's like letter an editorial correction editorial correction Tanner Reeves says, Kyle Serfin is being interviewed on the Dan Bongino podcast.
01:49:39.000And then he makes it this big thing where it's like my fault or whatever.
01:49:43.000I think his whole shtick is just drama.
01:49:45.000And the reason that I'm not interested in following up with him is simply because, you know, we like talking about politicians, presidents, culture, comment on it, and ideas.
01:49:58.000I think his whole thing is just ragging on people.
01:50:00.000Like, he would rag on Dave Rubin all the time, and I'm just like, why?
01:50:10.000Like, I don't talk about Sam ever because he's just another guy who complains on the internet.
01:50:13.000That's not affecting anybody, you know?
01:50:15.000But for him to want to come on here at this point, I'm like, dude, I think you're just gonna come on to do petty drama stuff, and I'm not really interested in that, you know?
01:50:23.000I'd like to have a conversation about ideas, but I don't think it would actually happen.
01:50:26.000The other issue too is, and this one will be to throw a little salt, when I asked him about deontology versus utilitarian ethics, he didn't understand it.
01:50:35.000And then when I tried using a pop culture reference, his fans or whatever used that as a meme.
01:50:41.000So it's like, what's the point of trying to have a conversation with someone who doesn't understand concepts and then laughs at the idea when you try and explain it to them?
01:51:28.000Because I know for a fact I did not unfollow him, because he's a lawyer, and there's like a handful of lawyers I follow on purpose, because I want to see their legal takes on things.
01:51:37.000And then one day I can't remember what happened, Ron tweeted, I think, about me not following or something like that, and then I was like, what?
01:52:14.000Rain20J says, today I got an advertisement warning me Lee Zeldin will try to repeal Dunn restrictions and red flag laws paid for by Hathie Hochul for governor.
01:52:23.000I now lean even more towards Zeldin after that ad.
01:55:03.000Julian Assange deserves a medal and a large cash prize and a nice comfortable mansion for which he can retire in because he's done a lot of really important things for this world and they've destroyed his life because of it.
01:55:16.000You don't got to agree with everything when he got called out.
01:56:17.000And WikiLeaks has a way better record than, of course, all the corporate media out there.
01:56:21.000They're doing what journalists used to do, especially when it came to all the whistleblowing and all the important things that journalism used to expose.
01:56:28.000You know, right now we got the window open, can hear the trees rolling, the leaves are starting to fall.
01:58:20.000You're gonna get in your car, and it's gonna be controlled, it's not gonna be charged, all that stuff's coming.
01:58:26.000Everyone's gonna get really excited for their Teslas, and then you're gonna sit down, and it's gonna be like, I'm sorry, Dave, I wasn't charging.
01:59:02.000Actually, what I think might happen is you're gonna have energy credits.
01:59:05.000And you're gonna have an app on your phone, and it's gonna be like, where to put your energy credits, and you're gonna be like, I need my car.
01:59:11.000And then when you slide the slider bar up on your car to 100%, everything else starts going down.
01:59:15.000It's gonna be like TV, phone, carbon credits.
01:59:18.000And then the car auto-drives to the human compost, and automatically the Lion King circle of life starts playing.
01:59:27.000I mean in that future I'd imagine you're in the car and you're driving and it's gonna go It's gonna show fanfare and like horns playing on the screen.
01:59:59.000And then the car is just gonna go straight, it's gonna drive, it's gonna zoom to 120 and then it's gonna turn and the door is gonna open, flinging you out into the compost.
02:00:14.000There was a movie, there was a dystopian movie, I forgot the name of it, maybe someone in the chatroom could remind me, but that everyone, all the poor people were trying to, of course, win an award, and the award was they were all murdered.
02:00:25.000And they didn't know it, and they just thought they would move on to the elite place in society.
02:00:31.000There's a movie called The Island with Scarlett Johansson and I think Ewan McGregor and it's like this colony and every so often someone will win and it's like, they're like, I did it, I won!
02:00:44.000And in reality, spoiler alert, it is a cloning facility for celebrities and rich people and when you win you're having your organs harvested.
02:00:52.000But how do you, like, it's, look, with sheep You know, we had Dan turn around and explain, like, the sheep don't know they're going to slaughter.
02:00:58.000And so, they'll go there, and they're happy, and they love you, because you take care of them, you walk them in, no one can see anything, and ka-dum!
02:01:08.000Alright, let's just grab one more really important one.
02:01:13.000Halo Mizuman says, let's see if this gets through.
02:01:17.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and be the notification you want to see in this YouTube.
02:02:14.000My website is youtube.com forward slash wearechange.
02:02:16.000And someone a lot smarter than me said this.
02:02:19.000They said, quote, they wouldn't need to censor us if we were wrong.
02:02:23.000And I think that's definitely worth thinking about.
02:02:25.000The Washington Post, the CIA, Amazon, Jeff Bezos paper wrote four years ago a very interesting article that was entitled, The New Censors Won't Delete Your Words, They'll Drown Them Out.
02:02:35.000And I think that's almost exactly what's happening here.
02:02:38.000I've been dealing with this issue for way too long, and you can check out my struggles with YouTube for the many years on youtube.com forward slash we are change.
02:02:45.000I'll give y'all a quick little explanation of how the media works.
02:02:48.000I get an email from the Washington Post, as I explained earlier.
02:03:20.000I directly addressed everything you said.
02:03:23.000And the best part was, she then quoted me as saying, evidence of fraud does not prove fraud altered the election.
02:03:29.000And I'm like, so you agree that I, like, you took my quote, directly answering your question, included it in your piece, but then claim I sidestepped it, because this is the game they'll play.
02:03:39.000Let's say someone asks you a question, they email you, smug, and they say, you know, you said this about Trump.
02:03:47.000If you give them the perfect, let's say they say something like, you've been accused of being an anti-vaxxer, and then your response is, the vaccines are safe and effective, and I advise everyone to follow the advice of their doctors.
02:03:58.000They will say, OK, well, I can't run that.
