On today's show, we have a special guest, Dinesh D'Souza, a writer, filmmaker, and speaker. He joins us to talk about the latest in the ongoing protests in the United States, including the latest on Black Lives Matter and Palestine. We also discuss a new report from Reuters that says the U.S. must be prepared for World War III, and we have scenes from all the protests that have occurred today.
00:00:18.000Now, reportedly in the video they say they don't kill kids, but that's not really the point.
00:00:21.000The point is, they're basically sending a warning to Israel, they're making a statement that if they're targeted, there are children of their victims, children being victims as well, with them, and it is absolutely horrifying.
00:00:34.000A new report from Reuters says that, uh, essentially, the U.S.
00:00:51.000I would say grand scale absolutely crazy happening today.
00:00:53.000Of course, everyone's kind of relieved.
00:00:55.000But there were some incidents that had it happen.
00:00:58.000Some disturbing videos, which we'll get into all of that.
00:01:02.000But we're gonna be talking about what's the current state of what's happening with obviously protests in the U.S., leftist support for BLM and Palestine.
00:01:12.000We have The View claiming Hamas is like the Proud Boys, despite the fact that Black Lives Matter is overtly supporting them.
00:01:19.000So we will talk about these absurdities.
00:01:21.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to smithcreekfarmstead.store.

00:02:45.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and a whole lot more is Dinesh D'Souza.
00:02:59.000Well, I'm a writer, I'm a speaker, I make films, documentary films.
00:03:04.000I'm now done, well, I'm coming out with number seven, which is called Police State, and it's in theaters October 23rd and 25th.
00:03:13.000And there's a virtual premiere, watching from home, on October 27th.
00:03:16.000So that website is PoliceStateFilm.net and actually talks about a lot of very bad things that have been happening in the United States in the last few years very quickly, one by one, our basic freedoms put into jeopardy.
00:03:46.000D'Souza is a Portuguese name, and the Portuguese came to India, this was going back to the 16th century, and they converted a bunch of Indians to Christianity.
00:03:58.000And the Indians who converted, originally Hindu, took Christian names.
00:04:02.000So, one of my ancestors was obviously converted by, probably by a missionary named D'Souza, and so we became D'Souza.
00:04:23.000Sickening footage released by Hamas shows terrorists holding Israeli toddlers and children during Saturday's massacre, which shocked the world.
00:04:31.000Sickening footage released by Hamas today allegedly shows a terrorist holding Israeli toddlers.
00:04:35.000The video shows Hamas members holding the youngsters as they sit around a table.
00:04:38.000One is seen rocking a prom as an infant cries.
00:04:42.000Others are carrying the distressed children, rocking them and patting their backs.
00:04:47.000The footage was recorded during as Hamas gunmen carried out their mass infiltration of Israel last Saturday, according to Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post.
00:04:56.000The attack saw Hamas, prescribed as a terrorist organization by the EU and the US, burst through the heavily militarized border around the Gaza Strip, as we all know, took an estimated 150 Israeli foreign and dual nationals, national hostages, back to Gaza during its initial attack.
00:05:10.000Hamas said on Friday that 13 of them had been killed in Israeli airstrikes.
00:05:14.000It has previously said four hostages died in the bombardments.
00:05:17.000So you can see here they have images of them taking the children.
00:05:20.000Now I suppose the claim they're trying to make Is that they didn't kill the kids?
00:05:25.000There's also videos where Hamas fighters are indiscriminately firing into porta-potties.
00:05:31.000So this is all propaganda from a group that is out of control.
00:05:40.000If one Hamas guy or Palestinian activist comes out and says that they believe in peace, it doesn't matter.
00:05:45.000Because, clearly, there is no unified message as to what they're doing.
00:05:47.000They're going and indiscriminately just killing and capturing civilians.
00:05:51.000And we know they use them as bargaining chips.
00:05:52.000So, here we are again, in this circumstance.
00:05:55.000And the craziest thing is, right now on the left, the only thing they're saying is, Israel's killing babies.
00:06:02.000This is, it is, this is the nightmare scenario of war.
00:06:06.000But, I gotta be completely honest, they will make, the left makes the argument that Israel started it when, quite literally, Hamas broke the barriers down and went and started targeting civilians.
00:06:17.000So, you know, you wanna take this back thousands of years, fine, so be it, but Hamas is targeting civilians and children.
00:06:24.000Israel targeting militarized sites or whatever is not the same thing, though we are all distressed when civilians die.
00:06:33.000What the defenders of Hamas in this country and the West are doing is they're trying to dispute a wholesale truth by making sort of retail objections and what I mean by that is they'll say this particular image is distorted or this is not a valid video as if to say, and maybe they're right because we're in an age where there's so much fog of war, there's so much confusion about whether this video was digitally altered, sometimes difficult for you or I to know, But the implication is that if the video is invalid, kids are not being threatened by Hamas.
00:07:09.000And I think we shouldn't lose sight of that bigger truth.
00:07:12.000Sort of like that picture of the burned baby that Ben Shapiro posted yesterday, and then the AI machine said, hey, it's actually fake, and it's like, yo, maybe it's real, maybe it's fake, it doesn't matter.
00:07:21.000It is real apparently now, but who knows if that's even true, but ultimately it doesn't matter, because they did kill babies, and very likely burned them alive, I don't know.
00:07:30.000It doesn't matter if that picture is real or fake.
00:07:33.000These videos of Hamas storming these houses, and then you can see one guy lighting a house on fire, they're not checking the bedrooms to make sure innocent people aren't dying, they're opening fire on closed porta-potties, With people in them, they don't care.
00:07:46.000And I should say, it's very, very self-righteous of me to say that they are.
00:08:03.000There could be kids in there, there could be women.
00:08:05.000When we see them, in one video, waiting at the gate of a kibbutz, And then a car pulls up, they wait for the gate to open, run up and execute the people inside the car.
00:08:13.000They're not checking to see if that's an elderly woman or not, they're just opening fire on the car and then running in.
00:08:18.000They're not checking to see if there's people in the room.
00:08:19.000They walk into the house and then start setting things on fire.
00:08:22.000So when we see photos that are being published that don't show the bodies, they show blood and they show gore and stuff like that, I really don't think That the Israel government is manufacturing scenes when we can see the videos, and we know that even journalists of a more pro-Palestine bent are saying, yeah, they target civilians, it's one of their tactics.
00:08:44.000There's videos of them holding children!
00:08:46.000My guess is that civilians are making fake content, governments are making fake content on all sides, but that also there's lots of real content as well, and it's terrifying me.
00:08:55.000I was saying earlier, I want to go look at the most gruesome stuff.
00:08:59.000And then as I was thinking about it, I was like, I don't, I don't want to get tricked into seeing gruesome stuff from two years ago or things that like fake gruesome stuff that makes me crazy.
00:09:08.000So I don't even know if I want to look at any of it now.
00:09:10.000So I don't want to not know what's going on.
00:09:12.000So the big controversy the other day, which everybody gets mad about, you've got the very pro-Israeli side, anger that anyone would dare question the authenticity of this photo posted by Israel.
00:09:24.000You've got people on the left arguing that it's not real, and if you're saying it is, oh no, you're posting fake nonsense.
00:09:33.000What had happened was, I did an AI or not analysis on the photo that was posted by the Israeli Prime Minister, and Ben Shapiro had posted the same image, and it said it was AI.
00:09:42.000I then put an AI-generated image in, it said it was AI.
00:09:44.000I then put in a graphic designed by humans, it said it was made by humans.
00:09:48.000I then put in a photograph of John Fetterman that we got from a news story we used for a thumbnail, and it said it was a human-generated photo.
00:09:56.000I don't know if the photo of the baby in this regard I should say definitively right now, it was inaccurate as it pertained to the charred remains of that baby.
00:10:07.000There has been a much deeper analysis where they actually posted the forensic analysis of the image and the other manipulations that were made to it.
00:10:14.000It appears to be, beyond a reasonable doubt, the photo is real.
00:10:19.000It is a real photo of a real doctor showing the remains and it's kind of horrifying that this is what happens.
00:10:25.000First, it's horrifying that people are like, I demand to see the photo to prove it.
00:10:29.000And that's, that's sad, and that's horrifying.
00:10:32.000At first they're like, look, for privacy reasons, we don't want to show these things, but people demand the proof.
00:10:37.000So it gets posted, and then what happens is propagandists and people trying to, to...
00:10:43.000I guess when an information war, then claim it's all fake.
00:10:47.000And then finally we get a bunch of different AI forensic analysis.
00:10:51.000One of the things they did was, there's some tools where it shows you like pixel patterns and like things like that, that you can't see with your own eyes.
00:11:25.000If you go back to the 70s when you had the IRA and you had the incident at Entebbe and so on, the idea of taking hostages The idea of exploiting the other side's reverence for human life.
00:11:42.000They know that the Israelis care about human life.
00:11:44.000If the Israelis really didn't care, the hostages would be meaningless.
00:11:47.000The reason that they grab your kid as a hostage is they know that you're gonna go, okay, you know, I'm gonna... So it reminds me a little bit of how in this country, you know, they use the accusation of racism.
00:11:58.000I'm not... Think of this just by way of analogy.
00:12:00.000When somebody comes to you and says, you're a racist, Their hidden assumption is that you're not a racist.
00:12:06.000Because if you were really a racist, you'd be like, thank you very much!
00:12:17.000So the fact that you go, no, I'm not, is you don't believe you are, and you don't want to think of yourself as a racist, so the charge of racism only works on anti-racists.
00:13:08.000India was a colony of the British, if you say decolonization.
00:13:12.000But over the years, the Indians have sort of reassessed, because they've now realized, yeah, there were some bad things from the British, but guess what?
00:13:20.000You know, we still wear suits, we still have British laws, we still have parliamentary systems of government, we got a lot of things from the British.
00:13:29.000But nevertheless, this trope of anti-colonialism is driving this whole narrative.
00:13:33.000That's what makes the Palestinians into heroes and the Israelis into villains.
00:13:37.000How bloody was the Indian revolution, if it was even considered a revolution, against the British when they seized control?
00:13:43.000It was one of the unbloodiest revolutions of all because Gandhi recognized that the Indians were, they outnumbered, the British were ruling India with a very small contingent of people.
00:13:55.000And so Gandhi realized, listen, all we need to do is sort of paralyze the country with non-violent demonstrations, and it'll be too difficult for the British to kind of manage this Indian elephant.
00:14:07.000And so the British sort of essentially let it go.
00:14:11.000But again, the only reason the Indians could pull that off is because the British were not Hitler.
00:14:17.000I mean, if the British were Hitler, Gandhi would be, you know, a lampshade.
00:14:25.000But the Indians could count on the fact that they could go light on the tracks, the railway tracks, and all the British trains would go eeeerrrr, they'd grind to a halt, because again, the British are not willing to run over Indian kids.
00:14:36.000And so that ultimate, the British, their own morality was the undoing of the empire.
00:14:41.000And I think we're seeing, in the United States, elements of the liberals and the left that are anti-America and hate this country.
00:14:50.000There's a video right now going around of someone on, I think it's on Fox, I'm not sure, where they're asking a person at one of these protests in New York supporting Hamas, saying, you know, do you believe America should take care of itself first?
00:15:49.000It's not like you have to discuss, is it a good idea to be India first?
00:15:52.000I mean, no Indian would even know what that means.
00:15:55.000And yet, when I came to the United States, suddenly I realized, and this is in some way a legacy of the Vietnam War, suddenly I realized a lot of Americans actually are not on the American side.
00:16:03.000They actually want the Vietnamese to win.
00:16:06.000They are America at last, and they see America as a villainous force in the world, even though America's been a very benign force in the world.
00:16:15.000Any other country that had this kind of power that the U.S.
00:16:17.000has had since World War II would have used it far more tyrannically.
00:16:30.000Like, even, I bring this up when I went to Sweden.
00:16:33.000They try to claim they're very progressive, but they're super racist.
00:16:36.000They're like, we scuttle all the poor people into these ghettos and then tell everyone how awesome we are, but then we only hire white natives.
00:16:42.000And in the United States, you've got white liberals without group preference.
00:16:46.000And there was a story that came out that found, I think over the past several years, something like 90 plus percent of mid to high level jobs were all given to non-white individuals because of the DEI push.
00:16:58.000So it's like, that's clearly racist and in violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
00:17:19.000must prepare for possible wars with Russia and China by expanding its conventional forces, strengthening alliances, and enhancing its nuclear weapon modernization program, a congressionally appointed bipartisan panel said on Thursday.
00:17:30.000The report from the Strategic Posture Commission comes amid tensions with China over Taiwan and other issues and worsening frictions with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
00:17:38.000Another thing that many people have brought up to us that came up yesterday was something called the Samson Option.
00:17:44.000Considering the conflict with what's going on with Israel, I think it's particularly relevant to this story.
00:17:48.000For those who aren't familiar, the Samson Option is the name that some military analysts and authors have given to Israel's deterrent strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a last resort against a country whose military has invaded and or destroyed much of Israel.
00:18:03.000Commentators also have employed the term to refer to situations where non-nuclear, non-Israeli actors have threatened conventional weapons retaliation such as Yasser Arafat.
00:18:10.000Now what's interesting about that concept of the Samson Option, the general idea being, if, so we have this convoy of Hamas storming in, killing civilians, Israel then starts targeting Hamas bases and weapons depots and things like this, civilians get caught in the crossfire, they die.
00:18:27.000We then get fake videos, there was a fake video today apparently of Qatar saying that they were going to cut off gas supply, not real, it's been debunked, my understanding.
00:18:34.000But you have threats from Iran, you have Lindsey Graham saying war with Iran.
00:18:38.000If there is an invasion of Israel, the fear is that they're just going to say, we refuse to be destroyed and they'll fire a nuke at their enemy.
00:18:46.000But I think the reality is any country with a nuclear weapon that is invaded and is facing extinction or non-existence is going to launch a nuclear weapon.
00:18:54.000So the fear here is Israel being particularly vulnerable.
00:18:58.000If they launch a nuke, then what happens?
00:19:00.000I mean, it's going to be all out World War III, massive nuclear warfare.
00:19:05.000I mean, when I think about it, the Samson option was essentially the core of what in the Cold War we called Mutually Assured Destruction.
00:19:15.000Because Mutually Assured Destruction is the United States has 10,000 nuclear warheads and the Soviet Union has 10,000 nuclear warheads.
00:19:22.000And the reason you have peace is each side makes a public declaration that if the other side launches nukes, You will do the same and cause, essentially, the extinction of mankind.
00:19:34.000And it's that mutual fear, oddly enough, that keeps both parties reasonably well behaved.
00:19:40.000Now we're in a post-Cold War era, of course, but I don't see why that logic disappears.
00:19:46.000It remains actually identical, except now it has to be applied You know, more regionally or more locally.
00:19:52.000But why would a country allow its own extinction without wanting to visit exactly the same on the people who perpetrated that?
00:19:59.000I mean, this is a case where, I mean, I suppose there's a certain, at a certain theoretical level, you could go, well, listen, they've already launched these nukes.
00:20:16.000I've never been through nuclear war, but it's not just like the nuke hits, and then that's the end.
00:20:20.000Like, a nuke will set up the stage for an invasion.
00:20:22.000Like, you can level the ground, level all the defensive capabilities, and then invade the city that got nuked, like, two days later or something, or a day later.
00:21:14.000Since the seventies, we've had ICBMs and MIRVs and things like this.
00:21:18.000The US, 10 years ago, funded a very, very small megaton gravity bomb.
00:21:25.000Basically, pocket-sized version of the Fat Man.
00:21:28.000And we also have these ICBMs, we have hypersonics.
00:21:31.000But I think people need to understand that a lot of the research has been in targeted biological weapons.
00:21:36.000And the real scary thought is, not that Israel says, we're gonna fire a nuke, but that they're like, we're going to unleash a virus, or something like that.
00:21:45.000I think that people have been using insects also.
00:21:47.000I mean, let's think about this realistically.
00:21:51.000You've got ethnic conflict in the Middle East, right?
00:21:54.000These are groups that hate each other based on their ethnic heritage.
00:21:59.000Wouldn't they be specifically trying to target... If you've got groups of people saying that they want to eradicate Israel, would they not make weapons specifically to do so?
00:22:09.000If they had the capabilities, they probably would.
00:22:11.000I do believe that it's more about territory and less about genetics at the core.
00:22:17.000I think it's about who owns that area of the world.
00:22:20.000But what I'm saying is the majority of the people in Israel are Jewish, and many of these people in, say, Iran or in Gaza, Lebanon, explicitly say the Jewish people.
00:22:47.000They stuck people's arms into sub-zero temperatures.
00:22:49.000They're in a room and they put their arm into a vat or whatever with sub-zero temperatures, and then pull it out and shatter it with a hammer to see what would happen.
00:23:21.000And then it would end up dropping bombs.
00:23:23.000I mean, we just get a small insight into how nuts these people are just when we think about gain-of-function research.
00:23:30.000I mean, just think of something so explosive as to take highly contagious viruses and start screwing with them to make them more lethal to, quote, study them.
00:23:41.000And this is going on in laboratories all over the world.
00:23:44.000And the probability of these viruses getting out when you add up all the laboratories and all the procedures is actually pretty high.
00:23:52.000So it ends up that you create a worse plague than you started, or that you started out to try to diffuse.
00:23:58.000And all of this is, this is all in peacetime.
00:24:01.000And now you put in war and the aggression and the competitiveness of war and the massive resources devoted to the military, which is much bigger than the resources available to the NIH.
00:24:13.000And you can only imagine what scary stuff is going on there.
00:24:16.000Yeah, and honestly, it's beyond just biological weapons or directed energy weapons.
00:24:22.000When the U.S., during the Manhattan Project, nobody knew what they were doing.
00:24:28.000was working on some kind of technology, and some of the speculation was a laser beam, a death ray.
00:24:35.000And some people, I believe, did speculate that there was going to be a nuclear bomb.
00:24:39.000I think it was because The initial publications of nuclear reactions, quantum mechanics, and things like that was like 20 some odd years earlier.
00:25:02.000I shouldn't say beyond our comprehension.
00:25:03.000I mean, like, we'd be like, oh, wow, they did what?
00:25:05.000It's just that If they, I'll put it this way, I bet they could come out and be like, yes, the large, you know, international, multinational, military industrial complex corporations have a weapon that is based on, you know, X. You'd be like, wow, I never thought of that.
00:25:19.000You might, I might say that there are the weapons that are being used now are beyond our perception.
00:25:24.000That might be, that might be an interesting way to look at it because like lasers, you don't see them.
00:25:28.000They're just heat, it's just heat that you can't see.
00:25:29.000What I mean is like, we're not even thinking of what they've already developed, so we're We're talking about, like, biological weapons, and they're like, that was 20 years ago.
00:25:36.000Molecular disassembly through vibration.
00:25:38.000I mean, some people's skin just fall off just by hitting them with a low frequency, stuff like that.
00:25:43.000Or just, like, renders you not able to think at all.
00:25:45.000Well, look at the, was it the Havana Syndrome?
00:25:52.000But people would hear, like, a loud hum, and then they would lose, they would start losing vision in one eye and getting headaches, and they couldn't think straight.
00:25:58.000I mean, interestingly, with every major war, the magnitude, the scale, the horrific nature of it was completely unanticipated before the war.
00:26:09.000I mean, World War I, nobody had any idea that it would last as long, that trench warfare, you'd have people who are basically fighting for two and a half years for like 50 yards of land.
00:26:20.000And you're sitting in a trench, knee-deep in water, you sleep there.
00:26:24.000People are being shot up and their bodies then just dissolve right next to you.
00:26:28.000And so just the sheer horror of it and, you know, the thing about it is we haven't had that kind of a war now in all of our lifetimes because we have to go back to World War II for a comprehensive war.
00:26:38.000So it makes people, in a sense, Lose sight of what war actually means.
00:26:44.000The first one, first world war, was the machine gun.
00:26:48.000So they'd get up with their rifles and run towards what was assumedly dudes with rifles, as they had done for thousands, hundreds of years.
00:26:55.000And then the machine gun changed that.
00:26:56.000And then World War II, the air power, like the force of an air bomber changes everything.
00:27:35.000I don't know if Napoleon had new tech other than like if the Dutch tech that the Dutch didn't have or tech that the Austrians didn't have or whatever but he had he invented the core system the core you know the the core military core where he'd Divide command amongst his generals and give all of his marshals, basically they were called, total authority amongst themselves.
00:27:55.000And so they were able to move much more rapidly and respond to battlefield activity much more fluently.
00:28:03.000I mean, there's a very interesting study of Western civilization which tries to understand how the West became the dominant world power, which it has been over the past five hundred years.
00:28:13.000And the argument was that the Western countries were always fighting.
00:28:16.000And as a result, each side had to keep innovating in terms of warfare to get the edge over the
00:28:48.000In fact, that's how the Portuguese got to India.
00:28:50.000They were the leading power in the West at one time.
00:28:52.000Then the Spanish, then the French, then the English.
00:28:56.000Hitler's actually basic point was he was kind of envious of the fact that the British and the French had sort of dominated the world in the previous hundred years.
00:29:36.000Because exactly as you described, you get innovation.
00:29:39.000There was one story I read where, I can't remember what battle it was, but one side made their arrows with very tiny notches, so that when they fired the arrow towards the enemy, the enemy could not put the nock, or whatever it's called, the notch, or whatever it's called, into the string, and they couldn't fire it back.
00:29:56.000But theirs, with the larger hole, they could pick up, so they could use both arrows, but one side, like that kind of innovation.
00:30:02.000Now here's the thing about North America.
00:30:49.000They didn't really, that I know of, build armor and things like protective, because it was always like attack and retreat, attack and flee, attack and run away.
00:30:57.000It's such a massive landmass with tremendous farmland in the Great Plains that you didn't have to have such dramatic fighting over resources and effectively, you could leave.
00:31:10.000If they were chased out and the land was taken by a warring tribe, they would run away.
00:31:14.000And they didn't, I don't know, I assume that they didn't farm, not as readily as they did in Europe.
00:31:21.000You had the sedentary farming tribes and the Hopi, the Pueblo, but of course they were always at the mercy of the Comanche and the Apache and the nomadic, more vicious, tomahawk-carrying tribes which would have their way with these other... I mean Columbus noticed this when he got here.
00:31:40.000The first Indians that he ran into were really nice guys and Columbus went back to, you know, he went back to Spain and he's like, these people are like, they're like Adam and Eve, they're like living in the Garden of Eden.
00:31:51.000The second time he came back he ran into a whole different crew and in fact a lot of the allegations against Columbus, oh Columbus turned vicious and so on, Well, the reason he turned vicious is he ran into tribes that were into mass slaughter and that opened his eyes.
00:32:07.000This is the thing that the left ignores when they were like, the colonizers, the European colonists called the Native American savages.
00:32:15.000And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:32:17.000The French cooperated with many of the tribes in the Canadian territories, fur traders, they got along just fine.
00:32:23.000The Aztecs, however, who were pulling people down on altars and ripping their body organs out, they were a bit shocked by that.
00:32:30.000I mean, we're shocked about these hostages.
00:32:32.000Now, think about Cortez in Mexico seeing this stuff.
00:32:38.000Imagine the psychological impact on the Spanish.
00:32:41.000And so, yeah, I think that is... I'm unsurprised the left takes the view that the Aztecs were doing something acceptable.
00:32:49.000Because sacrificing children, like, literally just killing children, would, like, any one of us would be, watching that happen, would probably start crying.
00:32:58.000And you imagine Cortez, the historical view from the left is that Cortez is on this boat, sailing to the Americas, going like, and he's got, like, devils behind him, like, when really he's a European guy.
00:33:12.000He lands here, and yes, there's conquests involved, they're warriors, they're fighters, and then he comes upon children being mutilated, for no reason!
00:33:20.000I wouldn't be surprised if he started bawling his eyes out, and then was like, we have to stop this.
00:33:28.000Also, you mentioned, interestingly, about evolution and natural selection, and that's an interesting framework for looking at human nature and warfare, because the premise of evolution is that self-protection and self-interest is the primary grounding of human behavior.
00:33:43.000And I think even ethical systems, and Christianity is no different, you know, love thy neighbor like thyself, right?
00:33:52.000If you didn't love yourself, then the whole thing makes no sense.
00:33:55.000You have no compass for deciding how to love your neighbor.
00:33:57.000Whereas liberalism is, as far as I know, the only ideology in existence that treats self-interest by itself as something bad and something to be guilty about and apologetic about.
00:34:10.000And they deploy it selectively against the white man and against the West.
00:34:59.000People would actually ask you, how much of the money am I giving you is going towards the program?
00:35:03.000And legally, you're supposed to be like, oh, it's 20% administrative costs and 80% to the cost, which makes literally no sense.
00:35:10.000Because no one at the nonprofit is getting ridiculous salaries.
00:35:14.000Even among the CEOs at nonprofits, they're getting substantially less than corporate CEOs, though they sometimes, like the big ones, they get millions of dollars, for sure.
00:35:20.000You're running a massive organization.
00:35:22.000But I'm like, I would tell people like, my guy, All of your money is going towards a cause.
00:35:28.000Now, you want to give me the tax filing amount, I'll tell you, but this idea that we can't pay for the staff to file the paperwork, that we can't have food to eat or pay our rent or buy a car while we're doing this work is absurd.
00:35:42.000No, you doing the work should do it for free.
00:35:45.000The left has really, however this emerged in this country is crazy to me, they've got people being like, profit is bad.
00:35:52.000Now I think mostly conservatives are more attuned to realizing that's BS, we're capitalists here, and profit means your cut of what you're worth, the labor you did.
00:36:01.000But people need to realize you're allowed to make money.
00:36:35.000Greed is not, I made an incredible product, lots of people wanted to buy it and so they all gave me $10 a piece and so now I'm a multi-millionaire.
00:37:53.000I'm just falling short of worthy moral standards.
00:37:56.000Is it if you accept that you're falling short and don't try to change it, then you become hypocritical?
00:38:03.000No, because, well, at least in Christianity, you acknowledge that you are falling short, and your job is to be aware of your falling shortness, and your job is to be aware that you constantly need to strive to do better.
00:38:22.000I think that's often hard for people to gather, or to grasp, I should say, rather.
00:38:27.000It seems innately inhuman to say that profit is something to be bad, but it's like, because normally in hunting you'd get what you need for an animal, but if you think about it, you're hunting an animal, you're getting not only food for yourself, but for your family, for those around you, etc.
00:38:40.000That's what profit really comes from underneath everything, and it's weird, Tim's right, that this has taken root in America, but...
00:38:45.000Usury is part of it, is banking profit.
00:38:47.000They're taking so much interest and it's unethical, you could argue.
00:38:52.000They call it usury because it's unethical, unethical interest.
00:38:55.000So people are like, see a lot of people making profit, I put it in quotes, because they're just sitting in their luxury apartments getting 20% on every loan that they've got out.
00:39:04.000And you're like, yo, you ain't doing anything for that money, bro.
00:39:08.000You just born into that banking family.
00:39:11.000Yeah, although even that's very questionable, because if you think of money as... money is the stored value of your earlier labor, right?
00:39:19.000So let's say, for example, I'm now 62 years old, I've accumulated money all my life, I've worked really hard for it, and I could have spent it then and had instant gratification.
00:39:28.000But I chose deferred gratification, so now I have the stored value.
00:39:32.000And there is a time value of money, right?
00:39:35.000So now if I invest that money, I don't have to work, but it does represent work I've already done.
00:39:41.000That's how I got the money in the first place.
00:39:43.000Now you're right when it becomes generational and it's coming down from family to family but you know one of the remarkable things about the United States is that in this country the vast majority of people did not become rich that way.
00:39:55.000In other countries it is true that in Europe by and large you meet a really rich guy, chances are he's from a rich family.
00:40:02.000But in the United States, self-made people all over the place, and not to mention, within the same family.
00:40:08.000I mean, one guy's a millionaire, and another guy's like pump and gas.
00:40:12.000In the same family, same, you know, I mean, think of it, same gene pool, same socialization, and they end up so different in the walk of life.
00:40:20.000Let's jump to this story from Fox News.
00:40:21.000We're going to expose Harvard for the liars they are.
00:40:24.000GOP Harvard graduates send scathing letter blasting school's response to pro-Hamas students.
00:40:41.000Despite being the most acclaimed academic institution in the country, Harvard received a 0.00 point free speech ranking on 100 point scale, a full 11 points behind the next worst school.
00:40:53.000And then the response from the Harvard president.
00:40:59.000Our university embraces a commitment to free expression.
00:41:02.000That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous.
00:41:06.000We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views.
00:41:09.000That's absolutely hilarious because they have criticized and condemned conservatives in the past.
00:41:15.000The fact that they're unwilling to criticize this group and they're actually saying, well, you know, they're allowed to do it, shows Harvard overtly supports what these students are saying.
00:41:25.000The institutions are absolutely corrupted, but as horrifying as this situation in Israel is, we are now seeing the left overtly supporting acts of terror, killing of children, capturing and killing of civilians, and I appreciate their free speech.
00:41:42.000I'm glad they're saying the things they're saying.
00:41:47.000It is so poignant for me to see liberals, liberals of the old stripe, and here I'm actually thinking of the former Harvard president Larry Summers.
00:41:54.000I don't know if you saw his statement.
00:41:55.000He's like, I'm so bitterly grieved that an institution to which I have been affiliated with for most of my adult life is, you know, has sort of broken with the principles and is now taking the side of the terrorists.
00:42:10.000And I was thinking, wow, Larry Summers, If anyone would say, who's the embodiment of Harvard over the last 50 years?
00:42:17.000You're the example of the kind of classical liberal that surrendered to the left.
00:42:24.000That enabled the leftist takeover of these institutions.
00:42:27.000Because conservatives never ran these institutions.
00:42:30.000When I was a student at Dartmouth, I would say it was the old-line liberals who were in charge and the new left pushing up against them.
00:42:37.000And the change in the college to today would be that that insurgent group is now completely in charge and the old-line liberals have been pushed aside.
00:42:46.000But the old-line liberals let it happen.
00:42:49.000And they're now, in a sense, living with the fruit of it.
00:42:51.000It's a little bit like some of these women on the subway.
00:42:54.000You know, these bohemian women who are approached by people who, like, punch them and slap them.
00:42:58.000And you feel sorry for them, but you're like...
00:43:18.000When it happens to them, suddenly the rules change.
00:43:20.000It's like when Elon Musk banned, like, those five journalists leftists on Twitter for, like, one day.
00:43:25.000Not only did they go nuts, I mean, they were quoting John Stuart Mill, I mean, they were discovering Yeah, and therein lies the big challenge.
00:43:39.000But now, I mean, some of them stayed true to their principles.
00:43:41.000There's that woman whose boyfriend was murdered in front of her, and the reports are that she's refusing to identify the murderer.
00:43:55.000You know, I don't know about that, but I gotta be honest.
00:43:58.000Are you really gonna come out and claim to the police that the reason you're not identifying the killer is because that would be racist?
00:44:03.000Are the cops gonna believe that and be like, really?
00:44:06.000Someone murdered your boyfriend in front of you and you're like, but if he goes to jail, it's racist, so whoopsie!
00:44:11.000So a lot of people are convinced, like, there's no way someone watches their loved one die in front of them and then says, but because of racism, I think the killer should be free.
00:44:22.000I mean, it's easier if you're a journalist and, you know, the suspect is black, but you leave that fact out of the article, which we've been seeing in recent decades.
00:44:31.000But then at least you are not facing the consequences.
00:44:55.000Many years ago, Irving Kristol said that neoconservatism, which we've got a lot of problems with these days, but neoconservatism is when a liberal is mugged by reality.
00:45:48.000You guys think that's natural and actually a good thing?
00:45:50.000That we become more authoritarian when our livelihoods are threatened by war?
00:45:54.000Well, I mean, look, I'm making this film, as you guys know, Police State, and I had to think to myself, how did this come to America?
00:46:02.000Because a police state is very alien to America.
00:46:05.000And then I realized that Paradoxically, this was a bipartisan creation of the aftermath of 9-11, because a lot of Americans, out of fear, were like, listen, we got these foreign terrorists, who knows when this is going to happen again, we need to stop the next guy, so we're going to give the government all these new surveillance powers, we're going to basically give them a carte blanche, do whatever you want,
00:46:30.000Never thinking that 10 years later they would take all that armory of resources and then turn it domestically and say, all right, we'll now have a new target.
00:47:35.000You defer to people who supposedly are experts on all this.
00:47:39.000And so this is a wonderful way for the left to make political advances.
00:47:44.000Operating through the fear of the American people.
00:47:46.000Do you think there are environments where you can kind of change your society into a military society, a militocracy, without it turning on itself?
00:47:57.000Well, the Spartans did that for centuries.
00:48:00.000They had a very militaristic culture and they would train kids.
00:48:04.000They essentially had martial academies as a substitute for schools.
00:48:12.000And they developed all these amazing techniques.
00:48:14.000Basically, you'd have a phalanx and everybody would hold a shield.
00:48:17.000You're not defending yourself with your shield.
00:48:20.000Your shield defends the guy to the right.
00:48:22.000And you're defended by the shield of the guy to your left.
00:48:25.000And so the Spartans would move in a phalanx.
00:48:27.000I mean, they were so formidable that in the Peloponnesian War, the Greeks could not fight them.
00:48:32.000So the Athenians decided, when the war started, we're going to abandon all our land and go to sea, because we can't fight the Spartans one-on-one.
00:48:41.000We'll let the Spartans come and take all our land.
00:48:44.000Eventually, the weakness of the phalanx was discovered, and they began flanking them.
00:48:49.000Well, not only that, but the Spartans also didn't like technology.
00:48:52.000Apparently, someone came to the Spartan king, Archidamus, and told him, we've invented a way to launch a projectile, so we don't actually have to fight man-to-man.
00:49:01.000And the Spartan king said, I will give you a reward.
00:49:03.000Speak to no one about this invention, because if this invention becomes widespread, Basically, military valor will disappear in Sparta.
00:49:32.000As soon as you had... So, obviously with the musket, you start seeing more and more of it.
00:49:36.000There's always some kind of, we have to go and fight to varying degrees, but then when you got the reloadable cartridge, you end up with the U.S.
00:49:44.000going to all these countries and being like, not necessarily the U.S., but many weapons manufacturers and saying, now your farmers can fight.
00:49:51.000Hand them this, tell them to point and click.
00:49:52.000All they need to be trained is how to reload.
00:49:55.000And they're gonna miss a whole lot, but it doesn't matter.
00:49:57.000You don't need to know technique anymore.
00:49:59.000I watched that movie, I think it's The Last Samurai, I could be wrong.
00:50:31.000You're going to be in a factory and you're going to be in a conflict zone and then it's
00:50:34.000going to be like the alarm's going to go off and it's like, flee!
00:50:37.000All the humans are going to evacuate and then it's going to be a bunch of weird drones just
00:50:39.000crashing into each other and robot dogs shooting at each other.
00:50:42.000And we'll see another Sparta-like situation where the people from the military-industrial complex and the governments are going to be like, no, we want to use the weapons that we have.
00:50:51.000We've got to use our long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles.
00:50:53.000And at the same time, you're getting ripped apart by drones or some stupid new tech that's like, well, if we use that, then we're not going to be able to use our toys.
00:51:15.000It leads me to believe we're probably going to build warp engines and go travel the galaxy because in the 80s when computers were trash they were like one day computers will be so strong and so smart they'll take everything over.
00:51:24.000Now we're looking at AI and it's terrifying.
00:51:27.000I mean, the genius of that movie, Terminator 1, I think was the best, but 2 was pretty good too, is that it made an accurate call in a way that earlier science fiction never did.
00:51:40.000Wells, you know, in the early part of the 20th century, and he has the idea that you'd have these massive lumbering robots, like 20 feet tall, with big legs, you know, and they'd be doing all this work for us.
00:51:51.000But Terminator, I think, was a very thought-provoking movie in its own way.
00:51:56.000And underestimated at the time, but in retrospect, I think it's like one of these movies like Shawshank Redemption, over time it gets better.
00:52:04.000I think Terminator 2 was the big one, like Terminator was good, they made a sequel, and Terminator 2 was just like it.
00:52:35.000No, but I think it changes the rules of the game in so many ways.
00:52:40.000I was telling Tim earlier that I walk into my podcast, you know, and the guy who does the technical work on the podcast, he took my last podcast and he put in some AI and there I am speaking fluent Spanish.
00:52:56.000And my mouth is moving and my wife who's Venezuelan, she's like, oh my, she was like stunned, you know, speechless for a moment because, so think about, think about the, just from that simple idea, the possibilities of manipulation.
00:53:10.000I mean, I can see the promise of it, but I can also see the peril of it.
00:53:14.000Within a couple of years, YouTube rolls out the auto-translate button that will just press a button and then all of a sudden everyone's speaking Spanish or German or Japanese.
00:53:22.000And then, from there, you have the technology to just create a podcast.
00:53:27.000You could literally just... We're almost to the point where you can type in to one of these AIs, give me an episode of TimCast IRL with Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, and Donald Trump, and it will AI-generate the whole thing, and it will seem real.
00:53:46.000But I will say very quickly, as of today, today probably not, because Seamus Coghlan, Freedom Tunes, he put out this hilarious video called asking ChatGPT to make a Freedom Tunes cartoon.
00:53:57.000And he basically asks ChatGPT to write a script for a Freedom Tunes cartoon based on ones he's already done.
00:54:03.000And one of them is Ben Shapiro having Thanksgiving with his family.
00:54:07.000And it's actually really funny, and he's, like, surprised.
00:54:11.000There's, like, one of the kids goes, when I grow up, can I be a conservative?
00:54:28.000I was picturing, I mentioned Napoleon earlier and how he, one of his greatest achievements was the ability to decentralize command among his marshals and create a core system, that a military, a victorious military government is going to do that with drone, with artificial intelligence, and decentralize its command amongst a bunch of different artificial intelligences, because it's going to be so effective, they're going to win, but it's so risky that one of the AIs is going to go rogue and take over, and then it's going to become man-on-machine.
00:55:29.000And then that ultimately becomes the way of the world.
00:55:32.000I watched a documentary on the ironclads.
00:55:35.000And then because we drove down to a national park where we actually got to see like a bunch of the rivers and stuff.
00:55:42.000Look at the stories and then I went we went to a an aquarium that actually there's like a crashed ironclad Yeah, dude when people Realized we can coat the top of our boat with metal and then put an engine underneath a steam engine we can we we own and there's crazy stories where like the confederates had this ironclad and and they're firing on a Union ship and then the
00:56:07.000I someone's gonna know the story better than me cause I'm not a historian or anything but
00:56:10.000one of the guys in the Union ship runs over and he's like he pulls the cord or
00:56:14.000whatever to fire it hits the ironclad bounces right off and then lands back
00:56:17.000on a ship blowing him up and killing him.
00:56:18.000Oh man. That's wild. Yeah crazy stuff and then there's but it's also like
00:56:23.000they eventually figured out that the the smokestacks or whatever on the ironclads
00:56:27.000were the weak point if you got rid of it the airflow couldn't come in and keep the fire
00:57:12.000So the Spanish built a better ship, and they crossed the ocean and got to the Americas.
00:57:16.000They changed the whole balance of power, not just toward Europe, but inside of Europe.
00:57:22.000And then Venice could never recover from that, so they said, basically, let's party.
00:57:27.000And that's the origin of... And they've been doing it for 300 years.
00:57:31.000So the Spanish prioritized exploration over destructive capability, and that ended up making them more powerful.
00:57:37.000Yes, well the Spanish, and it wasn't just the love of exploration, I mean the Spanish wanted to find a better way to get to India, to despise riches of India, and also gold.
00:57:48.000So a combination of religious devotion, commercial enthusiasm, and also just love of exploration, all those things came together in Columbus.
00:59:03.000It's because we bought the Wagyu we had one time, and so you get the lava salt, you put it on the Wagyu beef.
00:59:08.000And it's got carbon in it, I guess, so it turns black.
00:59:10.000So we conquered, well, we, I say this, this imperial conquest of Earth, basically, to compile all the foods for one of the war score goals, or one of the victories that we got was all this food.
00:59:22.000But like, now I'm concerned about Klaus Schwab saying you're going to be eating bugs in a pod.
00:59:26.000If they really want to control and unify the world, What's the incentive?
00:59:30.000Like, you're going to have to make things better if you want to control Earth, not worse.
00:59:35.000Well, not necessarily, because I think one of the things that struck me, I was really surprised by, is as I was working on, you know, police state, police state in America, I thought to myself, wait a minute, a lot of the COVID restrictions, for example, that we saw in America, we see them in Canada.
00:59:54.000A lot of the issues of election fraud that we are debating in America, we see in Brazil.
00:59:59.000So suddenly, we realize that our danger isn't just a police state, but a police planet.
01:00:06.000Because there's the risk... A prison planet!
01:00:08.000Yeah, a prison planet in which the entire population of the world is under the control of some Decentralized elite, but it's an elite in communication with each other.
01:00:19.000I mean, the marvel of today is that you have collaboration without conspiracy.
01:00:24.000I mean, here's a crazy example of that.
01:00:26.000The suppression of the Hunter Biden story.
01:00:42.000Everything is under the control of the state.
01:00:43.000But in America, we have hundreds of news organizations, thousands of journalists, and normal libertarian theory would tell you, okay, If people don't want to publish the Hunter Biden story, some guy at the Sacramento Bee or the Denver Post or the Dallas Morning News is going to be like, you idiots can be my guest and not publish the story.
01:01:09.000Think about the level of regimentation there has to be where the ordinary reporter, who's not that political, goes, I cannot touch that story because if I do, the sword of Damocles will fall on my head and chop my head off and I can't do it.
01:01:24.000The Post, didn't the New York Post report on it?
01:01:26.000Right, so when the New York Post, being the only one to go out forward, suddenly it was almost like there was a massive media mobilization to shut those people down, to take them off the internet, to shut down the story, and the media was applauding.
01:01:41.000Have you found that these news organizations are working in secret behind the scenes, like a lot of them?
01:02:17.000I was reminded of George Carlin saying, there doesn't need to be a formal conspiracy for people to act with the same interests or the same underlying interest towards doing something.
01:02:25.000And that's exactly what you're talking about.
01:02:27.000People just did it because they were just like, well, I'm too scared to fall out of the flock or I'm too scared to be attacked by my neighbor because of what I say and do.
01:02:46.000I think the internet caught the powers that be by surprise and they can't control it anymore.
01:02:52.000They're desperately trying, but they just, they've lost the grip.
01:02:55.000For a little bit there, it appeared that when they had Twitter and YouTube and Google and Facebook, and those guys were working in coordination.
01:03:05.000I mean, interestingly, Alex Jones was banned on those platforms within five minutes of each other.
01:03:15.000I think that for this reason, what Elon Musk has done is very significant and I think has historic significance.
01:03:22.000When you look back, it's pried open the closing Can a free speech and with the development of mesh networking and things like that and where our networks can go phone device to device without some sort of central authority.
01:03:37.000It seems like we're headed in a path towards bypassing central authority.
01:03:42.000When I was on a, I mean, anybody who's gone on a cruise probably has noticed this already depending on the cruise, but I went out to, there was a cruise called Summit at Sea.
01:03:49.000And this is billed as like a bunch of influential people all buy a cruise ticket and then everyone interacts.
01:03:54.000But when you go, they told everyone, download this app.
01:03:58.000It creates a mesh network through Bluetooth so that everyone can chat with each other as if there was a cell tower nearby.
01:04:04.000So basically what happens is you're on one side of the ship.
01:04:07.000You send a message to your friend, John, That message, sir, your phone, connects to any nearby Bluetooth in the network, and then it ricochets off every device until it finds his, and then he gets the message.
01:04:24.000And so it only seeks out the encryption key from the person who has it.
01:04:28.000Yeah, I think in the future, your computer, you'll be able to click a little switch in the bottom right where it'll say, like, activate mesh, and then your computer will just be part of the network, the mesh network.
01:04:36.000Anyone else who wants to mesh into it?
01:05:00.000So if you have low accuracy and it doesn't know where you are, it says point your camera out the window and then it uses Google Earth data.
01:05:08.000So by you filming the trees as you drive down the highway, it'll be like, found you.
01:05:12.000Yeah, when I learned that, it blew my mind.
01:05:16.000Dinesh, are you concerned about the metaverse?
01:05:19.000Not necessarily Mark Zuckerberg's, but just the concept of going into a neural net universe and kind of living your daily life in this thing?
01:05:25.000Or do you think it's a good benefit for the species?
01:05:32.000The problem, I think, is bigger than that.
01:05:35.000The metaverse is like the latest chapter of this, and that is that we have visual and virtual reality, and I admit, as a filmmaker, I create the same, that if you don't, it has the risk of pulling us away from real human feelings.
01:05:52.000And so our feelings become increasingly simulated.
01:05:58.000And by that I mean we're accustomed to a certain type.
01:06:01.000Let's take, for example, a politician who sees some of these horrific images, right?
01:06:06.000He goes, Oh my god, there are children who are being held hostage and are being slaughtered, and you feel that emotion as if it was your own kid, but like, for three seconds, right?
01:06:17.000Because then somebody goes, hey, I got a hamburger here, you know, you want cheese?
01:06:20.000You know, and so we're now in this world where we have this extreme reaction But then we go right back to a mundane reality.
01:06:29.000And so, the metaverse just takes this concept to a whole new level, where you can have a surrogate identity, you can have a virtual girlfriend, you can buy real estate in the metaverse, so suddenly you have a surrogate life!
01:07:26.000You're gonna come home from work, if you're even going to work, and some people will still have reality-based jobs, but most people will work in, like, white-collar jobs in the pod.
01:07:38.000You'll go inside and lock the door, lay back, and then your eyes will roll back in your head or whatever, and then you're instantly in a gigantic mansion.
01:07:45.000Where your e-dog runs up to you and your dog never dies, your cat never dies.
01:07:50.000We took a scan of your old cat from when you were a kid and made a fake version of it.
01:07:54.000wife walks up to you, she'll never leave you.
01:07:56.000She's everything you ever wanted her to be.
01:07:57.000We were talking about that at the event last Friday at Evercrack.
01:08:01.000I was talking with the guys from PBD Podcast and Everquest, the video game, and he was like, When the power would go out, like, no, I lost my life!
01:08:12.000And we were talking about the, like, getting into the metaverse and the danger of, like, if you have a surrogate, if you're really in love, and that gets turned off, like, what in the hell?
01:08:22.000You're a complete slave to that system at that point.
01:08:24.000Two of the great dystopian works of the 20th century were Huxley's Brave New World, which is actually this, what you're just describing, and the other of course is Orwell.
01:08:34.000And interestingly, at that time I thought we may go this way or we may go that way, but it never occurred to me that we would actually go both ways.
01:08:43.000So we're now getting a hybrid of Huxley and Orwell.
01:08:47.000So Orwell says that the police state is a boot stamping on a human face, right?
01:08:55.000I mean, I want the ordinary citizen to see that because Americans have a great difficulty getting their heads around the fact that that could happen here.
01:09:03.000But the Huxley part of it is another way a police state lulls a citizen into sort of complacency.
01:09:10.000It's like, we'll give you manufactured experience.
01:09:12.000Now, manufactured experience is not real experience in the sense that it's not the real thing, right?
01:09:18.000I mean, living your life with a real woman and going through all that has a texture and complexity that an e-girlfriend or even a porn video cannot supply.
01:09:28.000But Tim's point is, what if you don't know that?
01:09:31.000What if you think that this porn experience is actually sexual experience?
01:10:19.000But don't worry, in your pod, you're eating nothing but cheesecake.
01:10:21.000You're eating creme brulee, cookie dough, caramel fudge, cheesecake, triple dipped, deep fried, every minute of every waking hour, whatever you could want.
01:10:30.000It's like pulsing your abs, and you wake up stronger, and it's safer, because we're always at war!
01:10:37.000There's all the information removed from your existence because everyone's shocked and offended by it.
01:10:43.000So in your private reality, you have whatever you want, but no one dare go outside of it or interact.
01:10:48.000There's gonna be the solo player pod, your own private universe, sometimes you can invite friends in, but it's just for you.
01:10:54.000And then there's gonna be the interactive PvP version, but no one dare do anything exciting there because it's too offensive.
01:10:59.000I mean, think of the irony right now on campus.
01:11:02.000You've got people who for a decade have been talking about being triggered and needing a safe space and microaggressions and you offended me by not using my pronouns and those same people are like, Hamas!
01:11:23.000And yet, these rhetorical offenses were evidently so intolerable and unbearable to them and morally offensive, and those same people, when confronted with real atrocities, are like, hmm, we're okay with that one.
01:11:37.000Yeah, I don't imagine that the Hamas government would use their pronouns.
01:11:42.000It's also like I was thinking about that when we were watching that video where they were chanting Basically, you know Hitler's thing and I'm like, yeah, we're literally fighting against fascism and now they're On for Hitler's fascism.
01:11:56.000It was crazy how fast they were able to adopt a Nazi phrase and turn a phrase just to say that.
01:12:01.000This is why I say it's like an inversion.
01:12:03.000That's why I say the left has no moral framework.
01:12:15.000We here as moral people are like, innocent people shouldn't die, but offensive words may be necessary because sometimes offensive ideas are the right ideas and sometimes inoffensive ideas are the wrong ideas.
01:12:45.000When they say, like, if a homeless white person A homeless veteran, a white man, on the ground, they say he's the oppressor and Oprah Winfrey is the oppressed.
01:13:05.000removal of that is that is the logical extension of systematic racism right and in fact it's the nonsensical logic or illogic of intersectionality right so intersectionality is that this was actually a very clever device thought of by a law professor a black law professor in the midwest and she was she's a black woman and she's like listen You know, I don't want all the civil rights prestige to go to Martin Luther King and all these black guys.
01:13:32.000How do we get the black women ahead of him, right?
01:13:48.000female lesbian, or have one leg, then I've got three points, so it becomes like a inverted totem pole.
01:13:55.000But this was actually not even hypothetical.
01:13:59.000You're quite literally describing the algorithmic machine that was built on social media.
01:14:04.000So, Facebook launches their algorithm for the first time, and we see a wave of police brutality videos, because people don't like injustice, and so they're like, wow, I can't believe this is happening.
01:14:14.000Of all people, police shouldn't be doing this, right?
01:14:41.000What ended up happening is you get some of the most absurd articles imaginable, where it's like Vice writes, Black trans lesbians personify Black Lives Matter and denounce police brutality from white supremacy.
01:14:53.000They jam all of these words into the headline, so the algorithm will promote it more.
01:14:59.000Oh yeah, because it's going to different groups.
01:15:01.000So the idea of intersectionality actually emerges mechanically through our social media platforms because that's what the machine would share the most.
01:15:10.000If someone clicks on racism, the algorithm says, people like this, show them more.
01:15:14.000If someone clicks on sexism, they like this, show them more.
01:15:17.000But you put them both together, everyone's clicking on it now.
01:15:20.000So intersectionality fit the mold perfectly for promotion algorithm.
01:15:26.000It's technology meets ideology and so the ideology came first because these ideas go back to the late 1980s but of course at that time they were not powered by this sort of, there were no algorithms to drive them and then the algorithms, well I mean, the algorithms were programmed in this way because it's obviously, you know, inputs and outputs.
01:15:49.000Right now, we're watching human identity fracture and shatter into a million pieces, to the point where, for the past 10 years, you've had the emergence of otherkin.
01:16:04.000There are people who identify as elf dragon lords and stuff like this, and it's like, you might assume it's nonsensical, and it's not as in the realm of reality, but a lot of people do say, like, I'm an owlkin, like, I have an owl spirit in me and things like this.
01:16:19.000As we watch reality break down, human beings, you know like, someone who is male is identifying as female, people identifying as animals, there was one very prominent individual who was male but identified as a female tiger and got surgery to look like a tiger.
01:16:35.000As we're watching the chaos rise and identity fracture, if we move into a metaverse reality, give it a couple generations and what you will see inside of people's pods... We make the joke, I made the joke that you're going to live in the pod and you're going to be in a mansion with a woman.
01:16:55.000So, in a couple generations of this continued fracturing of identity, you will take a look, the government will say, let's go spy on, you know, this person's pod experience, and they're gonna click it, and they're gonna be a piece of cake vibrating on a bowling ball that's spinning around a moon with a bunch of carrots twirling in the air, and you're like- It'll be like code.
01:17:16.000No, it's gonna be- What the hell are they even- It's not even that, it's gonna be nonsensical abstractions- That's what I mean.
01:17:21.000Of complete fractured identity, and the cake person has been going, That's what I meant by, sorry to interrupt.
01:17:27.000It's going to be expanding complexity of nonsense.
01:17:30.000It's the end of human nature, isn't it?
01:17:32.000There's an important book from the last century by the Harvard biologist E.O.
01:17:53.000He goes, but I mean, not just I identify like a toad, like I want to look like a toad or wear a toad costume or something, but I want to be a toad.
01:18:16.000Now, imagine if someone actually did that.
01:18:19.000Now, I think most of us, at least the libertarian streak in us would be, that's interesting, let's go check that dude out, you know?
01:18:25.000But it would be a whole different matter if that guy then began to demand that the whole of society recognize him as a toad, right?
01:18:36.000And so this effort to not only say, my mind has given me this new identity, but I'm now insisting that you Subscribe to this, and you buy into my illusion, so to speak.
01:18:52.000If we do go into this metaverse, we had that Lex Fridman, Mark Zuckerberg interview, did you guys see it?
01:18:57.000I think you pointed out where- I saw clips of it.
01:18:59.000Where their animated CGI figures, it looks just like them, and they're talking from across the country, but they're in the same room sitting down, and you can see their bodies and face moving as if they're not, you know, it's real-time generation.
01:19:14.000You think it's absurd to recognize the toad person?
01:19:17.000When the whole world is in the metaverse, you're going to walk into your business, you're going to put on your headset, and you're going to grab your controllers, haptic feedback or whatever, your avatar will be you!
01:19:28.000Walking, you'll sit down at this table and be like, everybody ready for the production meeting?
01:19:31.000And there will be a giant toad, and there will be a giant carrot person, and then there will be a Godzilla, and that's how they identify.
01:19:38.000And so, the frog man will be like, I've been continuing to remind people that if you're a human man and you identify, whatever, as a woman, as a brick wall, you're both a woman and a human man.
01:20:14.000There's an imprecision here, because the person who's saying that wants you to believe, even though they use the sly word identify, what they really mean is, I am a woman in the wrong body.
01:20:27.000They're not saying, I am imagining myself to be a woman.
01:20:30.000I'm a man who imagines myself to be a woman.
01:20:33.000What they're saying is, I really am a woman, but I am, in a sense, I've been ascribed the wrong biology.
01:20:39.000And that's why I have to undertake all these.
01:20:42.000Surgeries and hormones and all this stuff.
01:20:44.000This matters now, but when we are in a digital reality, there will be no question.
01:20:49.000Because you'll be talking to, as far as you can tell, in virtual reality, a woman, and you'll have no idea that it's a middle-aged, morbidly obese man behind the screen.
01:20:59.000It's the movie Surrogates with Bruce Willis.
01:21:03.000This is the first thing they introduce.
01:21:04.000It's like there's some hot woman and some dude at a club making out.
01:21:07.000The movie is about people who use robots to pilot the world for them because it's safer.
01:21:12.000And then when the person dies, the surrogate of the female dies, they're like, let's go track down the owner and see what happened.
01:21:20.000They walk into this very beautiful apartment and there's a 500 pound man in the machine who's dead.
01:21:31.000You get that a little bit in role-playing games, like World of Warcraft and stuff, where a dude chooses to play as a female half-elf, or a female night elf, and I'm like, well it's... But I don't see that as the same way.
01:21:41.000It's a question of, when you play with dolls, are you controlling the doll, or are you becoming the doll?
01:21:47.000And everybody kind of does it differently, right?
01:21:58.000If you're playing in World of Warcraft and you're role-playing, and you're like, I would like to be a half-elf, half-elf female or whatever, people would get married... And not reality.
01:22:55.000I mean, we, everybody knows who we are.
01:22:56.000We're hanging out together and it's like, we're, I, it's like playing with action figures.
01:23:00.000It's almost as if what's happening in our society is that at one level we're seeing increased clampdown, regimentation, control, governments, elites, and it's not just governments.
01:23:14.000I mean our police state is a little bit unique in that it sprawls across the private sector too.
01:23:21.000Censorship involves academia, It involves the media, it involves non-profit institutions, it involves the government and the digital platforms.
01:23:29.000So an academic will make up a list, right?
01:23:32.000And let's just say Tim Pool and I on the list.
01:24:18.000I think Stanford claimed that I was one of the largest Me and a few other people were the biggest promoters of disinformation during the 2020 election, which is the weirdest thing to say I did, because I have the most tepid opinions on these things.
01:24:30.000And we use NewsGuard, which is Microsoft-funded.
01:24:35.000They have a contract deal, so they're getting a lot of financing through a deal with Microsoft.
01:24:39.000I put out a story where I'm like, hey look, local Fox outlet says X, and they're like, Tim Pool spreads disinformation.
01:24:44.000You ask them where or how, they don't have to tell you, and they don't have to argue what is or isn't, and you can't zoom over it.
01:24:49.000I mean, to me, the most creepy word that came out of the Twitter files was malinformation.
01:24:55.000So malinformation is information that's true.
01:24:58.000But harmful to the ideology of the regime.
01:25:02.000Kind of something like, you can take the vaccine and you can still get COVID and you can still give COVID.
01:25:09.000Well, people go, wait a minute, how is it a, quote, vaccine?
01:25:12.000Vaccines, by definition, prevent you from getting it.
01:26:01.000But disinformation, again, that term was ripped out of its original context.
01:26:06.000I mean, I would assume that a citizen could provide disinformation, as if they were a Soviet government.
01:26:14.000Like, one brilliant guy that has access to a lot of data could definitely, with a lot of followers, could seed, like, a false narrative.
01:26:23.000But the argument was that in a free marketplace of ideas, your peers could check you, they could challenge you, so the idea that you could monopolize disinformation, it wouldn't really work.
01:26:32.000Whereas on the other hand, if a government was doing it, then they could sort of control the flow of it.
01:26:52.000You've got multiple news organizations and a government saying, actually, we checked, it's real, and users being like, we ran algorithms and said it's fake, people are gonna be, it's just nonsense world, there's nothing that's true anymore.
01:27:22.000There were people who climbed through windows and up Up the banisters and so on.
01:27:26.000At other stages, you have people wandering very carefully through the ropes, making sure not to deface or damage anything.
01:27:32.000And so all of this was right there in front of you to see.
01:27:34.000But then a whole manufactured narrative came up, which was quite different from what we saw, and the January 6th committee is, believe this, don't believe what you saw.
01:27:46.000When I watch those buildings fall in near free fall speed, Well, you take a look at January 6th being a good example.
01:27:52.000We did on this show, I think this was almost two years ago now.
01:27:55.000I talked about how on January 6th, we would likely end up, with January 6th, we would likely end up seeing acquittals because you can't charge someone with trespass unless they've been warned they're trespassing.
01:28:06.000And so the problem with January 6th is that many people arrived later on in the day when the fences were removed, the doors were opened by the police, and they walked in confused.
01:28:14.000The young Turks, particularly Cenk Uygur, Made a clip insulting me, saying that's the stupidest argument ever, Tim Pool's a moron, as if these people are fighting with police and walking over broken glass and don't know they're trespassing.
01:28:28.000You see, the problem was that Cenk and Anna did not actually know what happened on January 6th.
01:28:32.000They had only seen what CNN wanted them to see, and they didn't know on the other side of the building, cops opened the door and fanned people in.
01:28:38.000Well, sure enough, a couple months later, there was a hard acquittal.
01:28:42.000One man argued to the judge, the police fanned me in.
01:28:45.000The defense plays a video of the cops going like this and waving them in.
01:28:48.000And the judge said, you are correct, sir.
01:28:52.000Another man got acquitted on the trespass charge because the police... No, he got acquitted on a bunch of charges, including the trespass without warning.
01:29:02.000But then he got a lighter charge because he climbed over a barricade later on or something to that effect.
01:30:25.000And so, you defer to these authorities and we have been doing it.
01:30:30.000But suddenly, a lot of these institutions, the FBI, the CDC, we've realized are not above lying to us bald-faced, and also not above the most nefarious motives.
01:30:44.000Like, you know, here's Fauci, and he goes, oh, shoot.
01:30:49.000This virus might have come out of the Wuhan lab.
01:30:52.000I've been funding this gain-of-function research in North Carolina.
01:31:33.000He goes, you know, I've just come across this important paper by these world-class virologists saying that the virus came from a wet market.
01:31:43.000So, Fauci, what I'm getting at here is that police states, when they are under construction, when you're building them, you need a lot of subterfuge.
01:31:52.000You need a lot of flim-flam, you need a lot of smoke and mirrors, you need a lot of lying.
01:31:56.000Now, when you've got a full-fledged police state, you don't need any lying.
01:31:59.000You just walk into a train station, grab a guy, you don't give him any reasons, you beat him over the head, he'll never be seen from again.
01:32:05.000But while you're building the police state, you need to fool people.
01:32:44.000It will be very bad if we get a fervent, zealous war machine emerging from what we're seeing.
01:32:49.000But the potential good is that the anti-war faction, people with a more libertarian streak, become what the left used to be.
01:32:58.000So what happens is the modern version of the identity left ceases to exist because of their overt support for terror.
01:33:05.000And then what's left is the dominant factions in the culture war become moderate, libertarian-leaning, freedom-folks, anti-establishment, being like, hey, we don't want war, but we agree Hamas is bad.
01:33:17.000Versus, no identity politics, you're right about that, but we want to defend Israel and we want foreign intervention.
01:33:22.000And so it reverts back to the old-school left and right of anti-war versus... I'm concerned that it would be an identitarian authoritarian party.
01:33:33.000Tim is saying we might be able to root those guys out and replace them with a new two-party system in which you have sort of a pro-war authoritarian party and a more libertarian anti-war party.
01:33:49.000I think pro-intervention versus anti-intervention.
01:33:51.000I mean, we were talking earlier about Trump, and I think part of the ingenuity of Trump is that he was essentially, I don't want to get our country into a war, but I'm not against administering a well-deserved ass-kicking from time to time.
01:34:10.000And I think that's where most Americans are.
01:34:12.000You know, Americans are like, look, we're not looking for a big ground war here, but on the other hand, there are really bad guys in the world, and we have to figure out ways to teach them a lesson.
01:34:23.000amount of cocktail parties and quote negotiations and you know giving them money in pallets
01:34:34.000I mean it wasn't so much an ass kicking, it was the threat of one by a crazy guy and you
01:34:40.000know the thing about Donald Trump is that he's got 20 charisma so when he shows up and
01:34:49.000he negotiates it actually starts getting things done.
01:34:52.000You've got the Abraham Accords, despite the fact, you know, Max Blumenthal said he thought they were bad and they set up the situation we have now.
01:34:58.000I'm not so sure I agree, but, you know, he's allowed to have his opinion, he's done a lot of research on the area, though he has his biases.
01:35:04.000But what Max did agree with me on, he made a very funny joke, but I'll reserve that for his right to say.
01:36:07.000They said he's becoming friends with evil men and dictators, and it's just like...
01:36:11.000Should we just go to war and drop bombs?
01:36:14.000Well, the military-industrial complex would love that.
01:36:16.000Now, I don't know about Blumenthal, but with regard to the Abraham Accords, in a weird way, you could say that they set up the current conflict, but not in the way I think that is normally meant.
01:36:26.000They set up the current conflict in that they produced a fear in Hamas that Israel is now cutting deals.
01:36:35.000And so, what happens is Hamas goes, we can't allow this to happen, so what we need to do is we need to do something really bad Which will then cause Israel to do something in retaliation that will then inflame the entire Muslim world and will crash down the Abrahamic Accords.
01:36:54.000In fact, it is essentially saying kind of what the left thinks.
01:36:57.000We have to undo everything that Trump did.
01:37:00.000And in a weird way, Hamas is trying to do that also.
01:37:03.000We're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com.
01:38:19.000We also, I will say, the music setup for Friday Night Music is here, and we're getting ready for that to exist, which means we're gonna actually have musical guests, and then Friday nights... It's not just like, you know, back in the early days, we'd play music, we would just jam a couple songs on the acoustic guitar.
01:38:36.000No, we're actually planning on asking, like, booking musicians, like...
01:38:39.000Hiring them being like hey, we'll pay you X you've come on and then some people will just be guests on the show if
01:38:44.000they're More politically minded and then we'll jam and play songs
01:38:46.000do the song we're actually talking about We'll pay him like a rate to come and play a studio band
01:38:50.000that can cover like any song would be so great because then we
01:38:53.000Just do all sorts of covers you do a cover and then you instantly lose all monetization on the show
01:38:59.000Guys, you have not been listening to your own comments about AI.
01:39:47.000The other one, the guy that mentioned... I forgot where it was, but it was probably towards the bottom.
01:39:51.000Right, there's a bunch of people, I don't know which one you're referring to, but there's a bunch of people who are saying like they didn't realize that the stream on YouTube was being ripped and taken from our website.
01:40:37.000It is three straight weeks of nonstop work to do an event.
01:40:41.000What we're looking at now is for, we're looking at Pittsburgh.
01:40:44.000This is because Pittsburgh's so close, it's only about two and a half to three hours away from us.
01:40:47.000We could literally just send out a crew Friday morning, everything's set up by a production company, and then we drive in that one day, and it makes it one day, and then that Saturday we're back and everything.
01:40:59.000Flying out requires us to build up a temporary studio in the city, and it's a nightmarishly stressful thing.
01:41:05.000So the issue was someone went on, and this is funny, this is not a, this was not, my understanding is that it was not a new member, this was someone who was actually donating a larger sum of money, ripped the show and published it on YouTube for free, spiking it basically, because we were trying to do like, hey, become a member to watch this, it costs a lot of money, it's a lot of work, and we sacrificed a lot for it.
01:41:25.000And then they basically spiked the show.
01:41:27.000And the issue is, it's not so much about the money, it's about if we are not making it work, and we are losing money from it, I can't justify the level of stress on the crew and the people involved and I've already got some pushback saying we shouldn't I don't know if we should we should keep doing this maybe we'll just do it once a year or something whereas I'm trying to be like how do we make it once a month?
01:41:48.000How do we do smaller events on the east coast we can drive to so we have once a month a lot easier and I'm already getting like hey man you probably shouldn't like there's nothing we can do to stop people from ripping the show and taking it and we're gonna keep losing money and stressing people out no one's gonna want to do it and so it's like We'll see what we can make happen.
01:42:06.000I don't think, to be honest, having, like, more money come in changes the fact that people are stressed out by this, but I gotta be honest, when, after the show, like, right when I got off stage, they're like, oh, by the way, 14,000 people are watching live for free, just basically spiked the whole membership drive thing.
01:42:23.000You now have demoralization and people being like, we shouldn't break our backs over this because we just got spiked, and it's like...
01:42:30.000Well, okay, but we'll try and figure it out.
01:42:32.000The alternative is, do we have to implement DRM on TimCast.com to make, yeah, so it's like if you try and screen grab, it just turns off or something.
01:42:41.000And I'm like, that's so crazy, but that's why it exists.
01:42:44.000The reality is this, a lot of people were like, you should have made it free, you should have given it away, and it's just like, okay, well then we'd stop doing it.
01:42:54.000We're looking at other ways of making it feasible, and that would be, We're actually looking at like a bigger conference, doing like three days maybe, making bigger venues with multiple shows, because then it becomes something people really want to be at.
01:43:06.000Still, the ticket sales are always going to be at that level, because it's just the only way you can do it.
01:43:10.000Oh yeah, like $1,000 for a three-day weekend or something like that.
01:43:14.000Yeah, like it was, I think it was like $150 for Austin, and we lost $20,000 or something doing it.
01:43:19.000And then Miami was $175, and we only broke even because Public Square sponsored the show.
01:43:24.000Shout out Public Square, you guys rock.
01:43:26.000Yeah, and so that that sponsorship base basically made it work if not for that it would have been like six figures
01:43:32.000lost doing the event and It's it's a difficult thing to do. I like really hard
01:43:38.000I like the weekend concept because the one of my favorite parts of the event was meeting people before and after the
01:43:42.000show and the Networking and that was that was like four hours on
01:43:45.000Saturday in the afternoon if we If we were doing like a daily, we had a conference center.
01:43:49.000Like if we did a conference center, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and you could go hang out for six hours on Saturday, have lunch, meet tons of people, see them again Saturday night, see them again Sunday afternoon.
01:45:05.000That being said, I am ideologically driven.
01:45:08.000What I want for these events, like when we lost money on Austin, I was like,
01:45:11.000hey, that's cool though, man. We did something really important.
01:45:14.000We still need to be able to keep doing it.
01:45:16.000So I'm like, break even, you know, like we break even, we're good.
01:45:19.000But when someone goes on the website, restreams it on Twitch and YouTube, and then we can't make our money back, you get people being like, why did, like, did we lose a bunch of money on this?
01:45:30.000And I'm like, I think we theoretically could have lost between like 100K and a million bucks based on how this ripped us off.
01:45:37.000Because like, imagine this, 14,000 people watching, If all 14,000 signed up at 10 bucks a month, you're looking at over a million bucks in the year if they remain members for a year.
01:45:47.000Now, the reality is most people would sign up for the month and then cancel right away because they want to watch one event.
01:45:52.000So you're talking about 140 grand at minimum that could have been made, and all of that money goes right back into our events company that pays the salary and the ongoing costs of running events.
01:46:03.000We're trying to make... So we have a company that runs events that we've created.
01:46:07.000It has staff, and we're trying to make that company functional.
01:46:10.000For now, it is losing money and I'm putting my money into it to get it going.
01:46:15.000With the Miami event, thanks to Public Square, we just about broke even.
01:46:19.000But understand, that means I worked two extra weekends and I personally got nothing from it.
01:46:27.000Other than, the way I describe it is, if I won the lottery and someone said, what would you buy with all that money?
01:46:33.000If you could buy anything, what would you buy?
01:47:05.000I was like after two weeks of non-stop work and sign this paper and sign this paper and this one got rejected now way to get multiple forms notarized to be able to do it like the Florida government and making us do tax stuff by the time I'm there I'm just like I'm just like seeing weird shapes and there's like you know I'm just hallucinating there's so much that goes into it and you guys know if you pay money towards it gets better and then it gets cooler and you can meet us and stuff and blah blah blah it just gets better it's the only thing that happens We'll read some more.
01:47:28.000We got Andrew Lingnell says, I think you inspired Meet Kevin to do a TimCast-style YouTube live channel.
01:47:34.000Must have been all these superchats giving him a good impression.
01:47:38.000I mean, everybody's doing a live stream, though.
01:47:41.000I do think it's funny when I meet people and they're like, hey, I'm doing a new live show, but don't worry, it's not at 8pm.
01:47:45.000And I'm like, bro, there's a million live streams.
01:47:48.000But there's a lot of people, I guess, are worried.
01:47:51.000When we first started the show, Crowder was doing Thursday night live streams, and it was painfully obvious.
01:47:56.000We'd get like, you know, 50,000, 50,000, 50,000, 37,000, 50,000.
01:48:01.000And it was like, when Crowder came on, a large portion went to watch Crowder instead.
01:48:05.000When Crowder switched to morning shows, we get a consistent spike in viewership.
01:48:09.000So I think a lot of people are just like, what's the point of launching a live show at the same time as IRL, when it's just like, people are going to leave my show to watch that.
01:48:35.000I mean this is a case where... I mean for a while there we were getting the kind of Clinton body count of all the people mysteriously dropping dead who had some questionable association with the Clintons and now with Obama we've got these... and I haven't really looked very closely at all this but there's been a guy on social media who keeps releasing documents, police reports and things Basically, making the thing seem really pretty fishy and leaving the idea that the Obamas might have had something to do with this.
01:49:07.000Now, I will say, I do think Obama is, to this day, the most protected man in America.
01:49:15.000Because even with Biden, you get the impression that the left is sort of... their view on him is, listen, as long as you're willing to sit in the canoe and do your part, we'll row the boat for you.
01:49:26.000But there's a little bit of a conditionality there.
01:49:28.000If things get out of hand and if somehow there's a smoking gun and you got the Chinese money going right, it says Joe Biden on the check, you know, we're out of here.
01:49:37.000But with Obama, it's almost like, no, we have a pact.
01:49:56.000So they went and killed civilians and kidnapped them to make a statement.
01:49:59.000The funny thing is, I already stated this, if Hamas broke the fence down, Landed with paragliders in the music festival, rounded up all the civilians and said, everyone, make it back to your cars now before the conflict starts.
01:51:18.000I mean, I think for the Israelis it's not only the moral thing to do, but it's actually the prudent thing to do, because there are all these international organizations that are actually waiting to pounce on Israel.
01:51:28.000They're just waiting to be able to show that there is a moral equivalence between what the Israelis are doing and what the Hamas guys are doing.
01:51:38.000And so the Israelis, to the degree they can, have got to be really careful to say, we are hitting military targets, there might be some civilian casualties, But we're not aiming at the civilians.
01:51:48.000They just announced they were going to, for the people of northern Gaza, to evacuate to the south.
01:51:52.000And then people were like, please don't start a ground invasion.
01:51:54.000The Americans were like, we are officially requesting that you do not start the ground invasion.
01:51:58.000The UN's like, do not start a ground invasion right now.
01:52:00.000Because I agree, if the Israelis go in there and start massacring women and kids and kids on their bikes, the whole world's going to go to war with them.
01:52:44.000If Israel goes in and starts- Israel right now is bombing Gaza.
01:52:48.000And the West will still defend Israel, and Eastern nations will still defend the Palestinians in Gaza.
01:52:54.000My concern is I don't think you can defend against drone swarms and nuclear weapons.
01:52:57.000You can kind of blow them up in the sky, but it's one of those things where the attackers are the ones that are going to win.
01:53:02.000The defenders are all going to get destroyed.
01:53:05.000Maybe it's hyperbolic, but it's like a war where only offense, offense, offense, offense.
01:53:12.000I was just going to say that I think the reason that Netanyahu was very careful to sort of insist that this is a declaration of war is because when you declare war, you remove the old logic
01:53:52.000That's kind of what the Israelis are saying.
01:53:54.000Let's read this one from TakeVideo, he says, Tim plays Civilization peacefully on Prince difficulty, but on Immortal or Deity, or in PvP, you would lose without violence.
01:54:03.000I don't know if this reflects real life.
01:54:33.000But when I play Civilization, I didn't say that I was just peacefully minding my own business, for the most part.
01:54:39.000What I said was, I would focus on developing my country's technology to become superior, and then anyone who came at me would get stamped out or crushed immediately, but I was never the aggressor.
01:54:51.000It was always like, I'm minding my own business, leave me the eff alone.
01:54:54.000And then as soon as I tried to attack, I just... And then one thing I really loved doing...
01:54:59.000Was if I was playing peacefully in Mining Mound Business and Civilization 2, and then for some reason, just like an opposing nation decided to just come down on me, I would just cheat, give myself one nuke, and then blow up one of their cities and be like, back to Mining Mound Business.
01:56:03.000I don't know if somebody... Weston Kramer says, the people who voted for these policies in the cities are like the peasant in Monty Python.
01:57:24.000Apparently the woman that gave him the sword was a watery tart.
01:57:27.000That was the line you were looking for in Monty Python.
01:57:29.000Alright, AngryMarsupial says, at Gettysburg, breach loaders only figured into the first day when Buford's cavalry held off a 3x force due to fire superiority.
01:57:38.000Infantry was issued muzzle loaders on both sides, tactics and numbers won.
01:57:43.000Um, I watch- you go to Gettysburg, it's amazing.
01:57:45.000Gettysburg is like 40 minutes away from here, and it is just one of- not only is there awesome food there, but there's tons of haunted houses.
01:58:15.000I think the crazy thing is that they had repeaters during the Civil War, but they weren't widespread.
01:58:20.000But man, could you imagine being commissioned a repeater?
01:58:24.000It's like, I think they loaded through the stock.
01:58:28.000Because I went to the antique store and they had a bunch and they like the back opens and you push them in the back and then you lever action.
01:59:37.000Brett ain't dead says Terminator epic 2001 a space odyssey life-changing everyone should watch and contemplate man's origins and future truly ahead of its time.
02:00:10.000I gotta say, watching The Passion was fascinating, because I never watched it until a few months ago, and the politics of the story is what I found truly fascinating.
02:00:18.000I mean, for a lot of people I'm sure it's like divine inspiration, you're watching the story of the Christ, but watching the politics of, you know, Rome and the Jewish leaders and the followers of Christ, it's a fascinating political story.
02:01:11.000You know, and right now in Israel they're digging up a large pool called the Pool of Siloam.
02:01:15.000Now this is the pool where the Jews bathed ritually before walking to the temple.
02:01:21.000So think about it, this large pool, which is an Olympic-sized swimming pool basically, Jesus of Nazareth would have had to have bathed in that pool because we know that he went to the temple and walked that exact road.
02:01:34.000And this is not, again, a matter of probability.
02:01:36.000They debate whether the crucifixion occurred over here or did it occur over there.
02:01:39.000All right, but there's certain facts that are coming out to light that are now absolutely indisputable.
02:02:14.000You can follow the show at TimCastIRL.
02:02:16.000You can follow me personally at TimCast.
02:02:18.000Dinesh, do you want to shout anything out?
02:02:20.000I'd like to just do another plug for the movie, PoliceStateFilm.net.
02:02:24.000Go to the theater if you can, October 23rd or 25th, and really fun to see it with like-minded people, just like you were just saying.

02:02:41.000But the one-stop shop to get tickets, you can't get them from Fandango, go to PoliceStateFilm.net, buy your tickets there.
