On this week's episode of Conspiracy Theories, we discuss the possibility that the government is trying to get Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to fight like gladiators at the Colosseum, Joe Biden bypasses the Supreme Court, and a Republican congressman says alien spacecraft may be from a lost civilization.
00:01:15.000This is a, uh, comic produced by one of the TimCast members if you go to turkeyrobot.com You can check out more, excuse me, and support the Silence Do Good comic.
00:01:26.000We have here their Indiegogo project for Silence Do Good time travel agent.
00:01:30.000They say, what if America's most prolific founding father found himself trapped inside a VR program controlled by AI?
00:01:37.000If you want to support the comic, again, turkeyrobot.com, Salty, Alan Rhodes, Charles Knopf, special thanks to you guys for being members.
00:01:45.000And I want to just shout out the best image I've seen so far.
00:01:49.000This right here is part of the comic, and clearly it's an allusion to Joe Biden, but the symbol of the authoritarian regime is a red line with a blue line going up, jumping above the red line and moving forward.
00:03:09.000It's his birthday, but I think he died as well.
00:03:12.000Let's jump into the first story, the only story that matters.
00:03:15.000Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, Italian government offer, fight like true gladiators at the Colosseum.
00:03:22.000The Ministry of Culture's office issued a statement saying, there have been no... Okay, so they're already raining on our parade.
00:03:26.000This is the update literally as of right now.
00:03:29.000There has been no formal contact from the Ministry nor any written document, even if the news appears tasty, it is unfounded.
00:03:35.000The initial report was that an official from the government of Italy contacted Zuckerberg about staging a UFC fight against Elon at the most legendary battleground in the world.
00:03:43.000You know why I think it's more likely they did make the offer?
00:03:46.000I think they're panicking and they're saying, no, no, no, no, we never, we never made this up.
00:03:52.000I think someone was like a preliminary.
00:03:54.000Look, if someone in Italy was going to entertain the possibility, the first thing you got to do is figure out if Elon and Zuckerberg would do it.
00:04:01.000You can't go to the government and say, hey, let's prepare the Coliseum for a UFC fight.
00:04:07.000The first thing we do is they'll go to Mark Zuckerberg and say, hey, how would you feel about fighting at the Coliseum?
00:04:11.000Zuckerberg tells somebody, the story goes viral, and it was preliminary in the sense that you need to know for sure they want to do it before you make any moves to prepare for it.
00:05:08.000You know, Lex Friedman sparred with both these guys, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and at the end of it all he said, I love these guys, I had so much fun, I want them to be sparring partners.
00:05:18.000I don't want them to actually fight, because, you know, you break Elon Musk's brain, that's a big problem for a lot of people.
00:05:42.000Do you think Elon would consider a performance-enhancing neural link to help him in the fight if he hooked himself up to a computer to give him an advantage?
00:05:50.000His neural net versus Zuckerberg's meta net?
00:05:52.000Yeah, I mean they could be each other's... Somehow they both need to hook up to a computer and fight in the metaverse and then nobody gets hurt.
00:05:59.000If you were gonna do a boxing match and you could somehow have like an augmented chip or system so that you could read your opponent's algorithm, like you could see their muscle, you could see what part of their muscles were getting hot How fast parts of their body were moving, would you augment?
00:06:13.000Well, yeah, I mean, I think the future, you know, we joke about this a lot, Ian, but I really, I'm a conspiracy theorist, I'm a tinfoil hat wearing, but I do believe that that is the future, that they're going to tell people to plug into a computer, some sort of vanilla sky fake world, and you're going to live in some sort of pod, but on Earth, they're going to say, you only live until 70 years, but in this pod, you're going to live for a thousand years.
00:06:34.000Because, more than that, or more than that, no, no, no, but I mean, more than just being immortal, they're going to say, in the pod, you can fly.
00:06:40.000Yeah, you can be quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
00:06:48.000Imagine somebody being like, I just feel like I was born in the wrong body, I'm a carrot.
00:06:53.000And then they plug you in, and you go into a fake world where every other person is an AI-generated NPC, and they're carrots, and you live in a world where everyone's a carrot.
00:07:02.000That'd be better than what's happening right now, to be honest.
00:07:09.000They want you to have such a terrible life, you know, just be totally basically destitute, can't make any money, so that your only option is that you live in this computer where you're a millionaire.
00:08:22.000I don't have it as much anymore where I wake up in the middle of the night and it's a friend calling me and he's like, why aren't you at the exam right now?
00:08:30.000Yeah, I don't have that because I didn't go to school.
00:08:31.000Do you guys have regular dreams about missing exams?
00:08:33.000No, it was like, I always had this dream when I was in college that I had signed up for a class and then somehow forgotten about it and on the last day of the semester you remember and you have to go take a final or something.
00:08:42.000Yeah, or it's like- Just that you have something you have forgotten.
00:08:51.000Yeah, I have dreams like that, but it's more like I miss the show.
00:08:53.000Yeah, that's exactly like I'll have a dream where it's like we're our car broke down in DC and it's like we're not gonna make it back in time.
00:09:00.000And I'm like, wow, I'm gonna miss it mine where I'd be have a play that night and I didn't know my lines.
00:09:05.000I forgot to memorize my lines, but I'm all going on stage in the dream and it's like I have this recurring nightmare where Alex Stein is boxing a guy.
00:10:22.000I got a question about everybody getting put in pods.
00:10:25.000You guys were talking about that earlier.
00:10:26.000So you said they think they want people in pods just because they want you to... At least I've talked about this.
00:10:31.000They want to control people and make sure they don't go crazy and put them in the pod.
00:10:34.000Do you think that people really believe that if we were happy and we started pairing up and having families and communities, that that would actually be a bad thing?
00:10:43.000Is there a thought that that would be bad somehow?
00:11:07.000They're like, look, we're over here trying to worship Malik and, you know, create a one-world currency, and this guy Ian Crossan's making these videos about abolishing the Federal Reserve.
00:12:19.000When we're talking about powerful wealthy elites and people who run corporations, if you went to the average CEO and said, which group of people would you rather have?
00:12:28.000Rural conservatives or urban liberals?
00:12:30.000They'd say rural conservatives hands down.
00:12:57.000It's not absolute, but what I'm saying is, conservatives don't protest.
00:13:01.000They live on little farms and mind their own business.
00:13:03.000The amount of pollution produced by the average conservative is substantially lower than produced by the average liberal.
00:13:08.000So if you look at everything these global elites are talking about, all the problems they're experiencing, it is dense cities, not rural populations.
00:13:32.000So when you have these Democrat politicians and people like Bill Gates or whatever being like, I think people should be allowed to remove their children and abortion should be available for all of these people.
00:13:42.000I kind of think you hate them and you're trying to have less of them.
00:14:45.000The advocacy for, in blue states, things that stop liberals from having kids.
00:14:52.000So it may be they really don't care about us at all, and all they're saying is, let's enact policies that result in less people, but those policies disproportionately reduce liberal populations.
00:15:01.000Yes, but I also see a disdain from the elites for people who are self-sufficient, and they continue to pass legislation that is contrary to people being self-sufficient.
00:15:14.000You can't even collect rainwater, for God's sake, in many states.
00:15:18.000That's true, but there's a lot of reason for that.
00:15:52.000You know, in the 80s, you couldn't get guns.
00:15:54.000And it wasn't until 2008, the Supreme Court, I think it was Heller, it was a Heller versus DC, when they were like, actually, it is an individual right to keeping bare arms, you know, outside of your home and stuff like that.
00:16:35.000Statewide in all jurisdictions is below average.
00:16:38.000So if you want to live in New York where they're releasing criminals and justifying it, where they're allowing lewd and lascivious performances, advocating for people to terminate their kids or sterilize their kids, those things all result in the destruction of that population.
00:16:49.000Meanwhile, in red states, they're doing things that allow the individual to thrive and to flourish.
00:20:23.000There are many people that we are friends of and fans of that previously did align themselves with the traditional LGBT stuff and Trump I believe it was correct to be like, hey, those people are good.
00:20:34.000What we're seeing now is very, very different.
00:20:36.000To smear him over that, I think is wrong, but Trump absolutely was not as harsh.
00:20:41.000Ron DeSantis is absolutely going after this in the culture war more so than any other leader.
00:20:46.000But the American Psycho bit and the Chad meme stuff, it's just, it's, it's too, like, if they took that out and just showed clips of DeSantis, like, pointing to the press and, like, answering questions with news articles, I'd give it an A+.
00:21:00.000The weird meme things is too much like, I'm with it!
00:22:11.000RFK I love because he challenges the system, but he's still anti-2A.
00:22:18.000But I will support him just because I think he has an important message.
00:22:22.000He still is a Democrat, so if you leave a Republican, you're not going to like him.
00:22:27.000This Trump stuff, I didn't know that Trump was all in on the inviting... See, this is the thing.
00:22:33.000If someone had asked him, are you okay with letting a trans political movement indoctrinate children into becoming trans and having sex surgeries, he probably would have been like, no.
00:23:53.000But why are we going to put it in the kindergarten classroom?
00:23:55.000That's where and I think even though they're kind of trolling Trump, I think Trump, like you said, would probably have that same feeling like obviously gay people exist, but I just don't want you grooming my children.
00:25:55.000It's one thing when you have these political videos that are like, did you know that, you know, John Smith voted for the Hating Puppies Act?
00:26:04.000Or like, you know, Alex Stein voted against the We Love Puppies bill.
00:26:18.000They were editing videos out of context, lying about his quotes, and I spend almost the better part of a decade constantly talking to everybody saying, that's not true, that never happened.
00:26:29.000And it is annoying, and I hate having to do it all the time.
00:26:32.000And then Ron DeSantis comes out with a video, his team did, where they made deepfake images of Trump hugging and kissing Fauci.
00:26:41.000And so now it's just like, all of that stuff I'm angry about, they just decided to one-up it, so I'm pissed.
00:26:47.000I think it's bad precedent, too, right?
00:26:48.000Like, we're gonna have a Republican candidate attack another Republican candidate by fabricating something.
00:26:53.000Like, that would never work for journalism.
00:26:55.000Why are we allowing it to stand for social media?
00:26:57.000Because otherwise we just open the door for it.
00:26:59.000I would be a hypocrite if I said, ah, it's no big deal, because I've been complaining about the media lying about Trump non-stop the entire time.
00:27:06.000Now, don't get me wrong, people are like, yeah, but Trump lies about DeSantis, and I'm like, and he should not, but he did not create fake images to smear Ron DeSantis.
00:27:13.000Well, he kind of did, and again, I have a preference for Trump, again.
00:27:19.000He didn't, no, he didn't do an AI, but they were posting photos of the empty DeSantis booth, saying nobody came by all day, but that wasn't the case, and they ended up getting community noted on it.
00:27:29.000It's all dishonest, and I think on both sides it's wrong.
00:27:32.000And I hate all of it, and the Trump camp shouldn't be posting misleading things, but it is substantially worse to have someone go onto a computer and create several different iterations of fake images to trick people into thinking a thing happened that didn't happen.
00:27:46.000Well, to be fair, and I'm not trying to be contrarian or white knight for DeSantis, I love Donald Trump.
00:27:53.000But Donald Trump was If they didn't do that, the video's fine.
00:27:57.000I mean, I know those are artistic. I agree with the point.
00:27:59.000I know I mean they were kind of made even though they used a
00:28:02.000fake artificial Photo they were making a true point, so it's kind of I know
00:28:07.000I'm just saying that to be contrarian But they didn't do that the videos fine. Yeah, but instead
00:28:13.000They do it I say, hey, that's not cool, you should take that down.
00:28:52.000Ron DeSantis has has really done a lot as it pertains to the culture war and in protecting kids and and putting up barriers to protect the cultural values and the moral values that we do have.
00:29:43.000And I know Trump says he'll fight till the end or whatever, but I think there'll be a time where they'll say, hey, I mean, this is just pure speculation where maybe he does get in trouble for a crime.
00:29:53.000And I think they're kind of laying the groundwork for Biden to get in trouble for a similar crime.
00:29:57.000And then maybe they both get pardoned.
00:29:58.000So Candace Owens tweeted, sorry to say, sorry to the say, sorry to the say it, but the DeSantis campaign was dead on arrival and it's time to admit it.
00:30:09.000Needed to be more upfront about his intention to run.
00:30:11.000Doesn't come across as honest and he's boring.
00:30:13.000You can say it shouldn't matter, but it does.
00:30:15.000He also needed someone more like Kaylee McEnany rather than Patty Christina Pasha running comms.
00:30:21.000The influencers that are still cheerleading for him are those that recently moved to his state and want to reap the benefits for standing firm beside him through his inevitable loss.
00:30:31.000I'm not knocking the influencer hustle, just calling it as I see it.
00:34:03.000Well, Veep, the show Veep on HBO, that's like a documentary.
00:34:06.000Like really, I'm telling you, the people that are working in these staffs, even the high people that I meet with, you know, that run Marjories or any politician, these people aren't that exceptional, Tim.
00:34:17.000I mean, I'm not, I'm just being honest.
00:34:18.000So they're just trying to figure it out.
00:34:20.000This is probably Christina's first presidential campaign.
00:34:23.000So they don't have any idea what the hell they're doing.
00:34:25.000I mean, I don't think someone like, I don't think Michael Malice would take a job doing something like that with them.
00:34:30.000He would with the Libertarian Party or whatever, but they need a Michael Malice.
00:34:33.000Yeah, Michael would be good for them, yeah.
00:34:35.000Like, I don't think he would work with the Santas, maybe if the price is right, whatever.
00:34:39.000I don't, you know, Michael being an anarchist, he might ideologically say, I'm not interested.
00:34:43.000But for the Libertarian Party, that was the thing, that he was gonna be the press secretary.
00:34:46.000Someone like Michael Malice is so culturally, historically, and press savvy, If the DeSantis campaign were to hire someone of his caliber right when they started, he'd be the frontrunner.
00:35:50.000I don't need the title to change the world.
00:35:52.000It's also very disheartening getting involved in politics on the campaign level because you realize that a lot of these people are just kind of circle jerking each other and that's why nothing gets done.
00:36:05.000And by that you mean it's a circle of jerks who are patting each other on the back.
00:36:23.000Seriously, when you're walking through the halls of Congress, it's like college dormy.
00:36:26.000Yeah, no really it's like you walk through Longfellow Hall and those halls are it's very weird though because I actually did an official tour and I don't know if I said this last time but as soon as you go on the official Capitol tour they bring you in for like this 20 minute video that gives you the history and like within the first minute it's like these are hallowed grounds that was built on the backs of slaves like Like, literally, immediately they make you feel so guilty.
00:36:48.000But then, after I watch that video, then I'm walking around everywhere in D.C.
00:36:51.000for the rest of my trip, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is Built by a Slave.
00:37:42.000I think he's just kind of like... I love him!
00:37:44.000Didn't he say something like, I didn't say I was Jewish, I said I was Jew-ish.
00:37:50.000I'm kind of Jewish, I kind of vibe with that too, but no, you know, there's this weird thing now where the conservative movement is the counterculture, so George Santos being like an openly gay man that is like, you know, he's worn drag, but he's like, did he really though?
00:38:54.000They blocked users in Virginia from accessing the site in reaction to the state's new age verification law.
00:38:59.000According to 8News, the new law, which takes effect July 1st, would require porn websites to verify users in the state are at least 18 before they can access adult content.
00:39:08.000So instead of verifying age, they were just like, then you don't get any porn.
00:39:13.000They did the same thing in Utah in early May.
00:39:16.000They are so desperate to show children adult images, they boycott the state when they can't?
00:39:23.000I just, because they don't want to deal with any of the legal ramifications and having to certify all these people, because then now they're liable if they show kids porn.
00:39:31.000So I just think that's why they do it, because the law is even.
00:39:33.000So what you're saying is Pornhub has no problem operating in the state if it means children can access their content.
00:40:06.000They said that this is a ridiculous way to handle it.
00:40:08.000So like strip clubs that don't check IDs?
00:40:10.000Yeah, but Tim, we're joking about this, but the United Nations came out and saying they want to get rid of age of consent laws.
00:40:15.000So it's like they really do want to show kids adult content.
00:40:18.000And then when we talk about porn up, like, you know, they say it's so crazy for a kid under 18 to look at porn, which I agree with, but like a 14 year old can get a mastectomy.
00:40:53.000Another weird twist in the Pornhub thing is that Louisiana also has an age verification law, but Pornhub never blocked them and did comply.
00:41:04.000It's because they're so backwards, they wouldn't be able to prosecute it or something.
00:41:07.000Louisiana, I went to LSU, it is the wildest place.
00:41:09.000Have you guys been any time in Louisiana?
00:41:11.000Because it was the last state to change its drinking age laws from 18 to 21, they were like the last state to get federal funding for the roads.
00:41:18.000So the roads and highways suck in New Orleans.
00:41:39.000There are tons of things you can't do in public that you can do online in public, which makes no sense.
00:41:45.000There are tons of things we wouldn't allow someone to do at a brick-and-mortar establishment we allow them to do online, which makes no sense.
00:41:50.000I think it's because... You can't walk into an adult bookstore, you get your ID checked.
00:41:55.000You can't walk into a sex app, you get your ID checked.
00:42:11.000Well, there's an interesting discussion going on about Twitter in that regard, too, because you can create a Twitter account at 13, but they also allow porn on Twitter.
00:42:43.000I don't understand the argument for, yes, I understand you can't play videos of porn out in the public, but I should be able to play it in the public on Twitter where children can see it.
00:42:57.000They would see an account post the illegal content, then subpoena the company and say, under this law it's illegal, and a judge orders you to hand over the data of the individual.
00:43:28.000Hold on. Shoplifting is rampant in San Francisco because we're letting it be.
00:43:32.000Just because we never enforce the law doesn't mean we just don't do it anymore.
00:43:36.000We have to be like, yo, we gotta stop it.
00:43:38.000We need more resources for cyber crimes though.
00:43:41.000I was gonna say, do you think we need to expand cybercrime resources?
00:43:43.000Because what you're saying with shoplifting, you send a police officer in person.
00:43:47.000Like, do we have a gap in law enforcement where they are not trained to... It's not that.
00:43:55.000Because many of these people post their own videos to the public under their own names.
00:44:00.000It's that law enforcement and government can't keep up with technology.
00:44:04.000So, like, they don't have a big enough presence on Twitter to catch these things?
00:44:07.000No, it's that if you go to a cop and say, uh, if you go to a police officer, a police station right now, and say, there's a guy who lives a block away from here who is posting, he was showing pornographic images in public and children could see it, that cop's gonna go, whoa, okay, let's write this on, where was it?
00:45:06.000Yeah, but Tim, my- If you want to legalize it, by all means, go to legislature and have them all vote to make that legal.
00:45:11.000Yeah, but my buddy Cassidy Campbell and another guy, Alex Rosen, they do these predator poaching videos, Tim, and I'm sure you've seen those, where they'll go- in some cities the cops do get involved, but they'll show cops A whole cache of these are text messages.
00:45:23.000This guy thinks he's messaging a 13-year-old kid and the cops, they have the evidence.
00:46:19.000You want to open your gym so people can exercise?
00:46:21.000Because you disagree with the edict issued by the governor?
00:46:24.000The cops will show up with smiles on their faces and arrest you.
00:46:27.000But heaven forbid any one of these cops, when they're standing outside of a club that is doing a sex show that they've invited children to, the cops in Texas said, sorry, we won't do anything about that.
00:46:38.000I think it's the difference of putting up, like, porn in a front window facing out onto the street and putting it on Twitter is that on Twitter it's parentally supervised.
00:46:54.000To kind of agree with what Ian's saying, though, there is a difference between posting a picture and then sending that posted picture directly to somebody, if that makes sense.
00:47:02.000I'm saying if you post a tweet of porn, as many people do, I view that the exact same as taking a big sign with a porn picture and sticking it in the ground outside.
00:48:44.000So the issue is, law enforcement knows that adults are publishing images in public that children can get access to, but for some reason, they don't care.
00:48:59.000Go back 30 years and watch what happens if a guy would print out a big poster with people having sex on it and stand in the town center waving it at people.
00:52:14.000He was saying that before the internet and print, this was the art medium.
00:52:19.000To see the great works was the buildings we would produce.
00:52:22.000Then, as we move into newspaper and radio, art and creativity moved into those spaces, buildings started becoming less and less relevant in the discussion.
00:52:37.000It's like to make everyone feel like there's no regional significance, right?
00:52:43.000Like if you're in New York City, you can tell by the buildings and they're supposed to be different than the buildings that are in San Francisco, which are supposed to be different than the buildings that you might find in like A major city in Montana.
00:52:54.000Whereas now you get major corporations that put up the same blank building everywhere so there's no sense of identity and therefore you can't cultivate any sort of regional pride.
00:53:04.000And it's like when people build new houses, there's always problems, but houses built in like the 70s and 60s just last a test of time, it seems like.
00:53:10.000So, there's something, there's like a degradation of the carpenters.
00:53:14.000Like, look at this, the gargoyles and stuff outside of these buildings in New York City, they can't even repair them.
00:53:19.000We don't even have the same people, the stonemasons that can even do that.
00:53:22.000Plastering, which used to be like the big thing, there are very few true plastering crews left.
00:53:27.000On the issue of porn, let me give you guys a very simple scenario.
00:53:31.000If you want to post it to your Twitter account, your account has to be age verification locked.
00:53:38.000So, you will make a post, and if you publish it to people, now you're in trouble.
00:53:44.000If, like, open to the public for children.
00:53:47.000If you want to do adult content to make it safe and legal, you put an age restriction filter on it, and then if a kid comes across it, they can't access it.
00:53:56.000And the only people who can are those who verify their accounts on Twitter.
00:54:01.000You walk into a 7-Eleven back when I was a kid, and there were some magazines.
00:54:06.000But those magazines were in black plastic.
00:54:08.000You could not see the magazine, you could see the top, that it would say the name Hustler Playboy, but you'd like, oh man, you couldn't see it.
00:54:14.000And kids weren't able to buy it, they'd be like, I can't sell you that.
00:54:17.000So you couldn't actually open it up, it was wrapped, you couldn't see, you could only see it was a product.
00:54:21.000So it was in public, but not displaying anything for kids to see.
00:54:25.000What about if someone's sitting on a park bench with a Playboy, reading it, and there's a kid like 500, 100 feet away walking by?
00:54:32.000Yeah, typically then a cop will be like, hey buddy, Come on, there are kids around here.
00:54:36.000But if the kid walks up behind the guy and looks at the magazine over his shoulder, then typically someone will say, hey, buddy, put that thing away.
00:54:42.000And ultimately, the kid would be the one that made the mistake.
00:54:46.000Now you're talking about simple judicial discretion.
00:54:49.000I guess the question is, is it illegal to have a Playboy open in a public park?
00:54:53.000The question of legality is the interpretation of the judge.
00:54:56.000A cop could say disorderly conduct for anything you do.
00:55:00.000You can fart in public and a cop can be like, that's disorderly, you're under arrest.
00:55:23.000When it comes to the porn stuff on the internet, I think that's kind of the The most cancerous thing of the reason why kids are so sexualized and I think that's why we have a lot of this and depressed Well, not just a depression but this sexual confusion because you look at like a trans person You might be attracted to boobs and then you see a penis because they go to a drag queen story time at a young age So I'm just saying we're over sexualizing our children and that's having just it's having an effect that we can't
00:55:52.000We can't figure out what the hell that's going to equal because we don't have any past generations that were exposed to all this pornography.
00:56:49.000But I think you could use AI to do that, because if a person's like, oops, I forgot, you don't want to throw them in prison for that, necessarily.
00:56:57.000I forgot to post 18 age verification on that on mine and you're like whoops I accidentally threw a playboy in front of a bunch of kids like what?
00:57:05.000That's when you bring up like wanting to read a pornographic magazine in a park for me it's like but why do you want to if you're going to park we're presumably our children whoever like why?
00:57:30.000It is unreasonable in my opinion, so...
00:57:35.000If you get pulled over, and it's an honest mistake, and you weren't speeding that much, the reasonable thing to do is a warning, and cops do that a lot.
00:57:43.000That's police discretion, and many officers do a good job.
00:57:47.000I have had some negative encounters with police officers, as most people have, where one time I was not speeding, I got a ticket, cop told me to basically screw myself, and that got my license suspended.
00:57:59.000It bothers me that that kind of thing can exist.
00:58:01.000Where a cop can screw your life up through no fault of your own, but we can't get him to arrest people who are exposing children to adult sex shows?
00:58:09.000Like, that's ma- Like, I recognize- Pencils have erasers.
00:58:13.000Bad cops exist and these things happen.
00:59:17.000Yeah, because cops are just going to follow orders from whoever is telling them the order, you know, whether it's like the chief or, you know, go down different levels.
00:59:23.000So these cops aren't going to go out of their way to actually do any vigilante justice or stand up for what's right.
00:59:27.000They're just going to literally follow procedure.
00:59:30.000Check out this story from the Postmillennial.
00:59:32.000Michigan House makes using wrong pronouns a felony.
00:59:35.000The bill makes it a felony for someone to make an individual, quote, feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and is punishable by up to five years in prison and $10,000 fine.
00:59:45.000They write, on Tuesday, Michigan State House passed a bill making it a felony.
00:59:49.000HB 4474 is designed to replace Michigan's Ethnic Intimidation Act to expand categories of protected classes to include identity, gender identity, expression, and sexual orientation, and it passed 59 to 50.
00:59:59.000It is not yet law, but I guarantee you.
01:00:07.000If this passes, I'm not so sure that it will, but maybe, I mean, it's Michigan, you got, you know, I think Whitmer's still there, right?
01:00:13.000You will see people arrested for this.
01:00:15.000And you know why I have absolute confidence in saying that?
01:00:18.000Because Jordan Peterson warned us, how many was it, seven or eight years ago, and then, in Canada, we have seen several instances where people have been criminally charged for using wrong pronouns.
01:00:29.000I imagine this violates some sort of free First Amendment issue.
01:00:33.000Like you can't tell me what I can and can't say to you.
01:00:38.000That's my right to say whatever I want.
01:00:40.000There might be, you know, I'm not saying that the person is not going to throw a punch if I if I anger them, and then they'll go to jail or whatever.
01:00:46.000But that's like the essence of this nation.
01:00:50.000The Supreme Court ruled on 303 Creative, this Christian web designer who said, under Colorado's anti-discrimination laws, I feel as though I would be compelled to make wedding websites for same-sex couples if they approach me about it, and I don't think that's fair.
01:01:09.000And one of the things that came up in the decision today was, the justices wrote, Colorado, under the interpretation of the law Colorado currently has, they would compel this woman into speech that she doesn't agree with.
01:01:21.000And so it's kind of similar to what you're saying.
01:01:22.000I wonder if in some way there is already legal precedent that, you know, this is Michigan, so they can't necessarily take Colorado law, but if we have federal law that says you can't compel speech, like, at what point do you prioritize the First Amendment?
01:01:36.000What they're saying with this is that if you, it's like, I'm pretty sure the bill is specifically about in the act of committing a crime, if you do this thing.
01:01:46.000It's a, it's a, it's a, what do they call it?
01:02:45.000They'll say that you are a right-wing terrorist and all that stuff.
01:02:49.000Can you get arrested for it, or is it just an additional charge that you would get, or it makes the charge more severe if you're also misgendering them?
01:02:57.000I think this in and of itself is a hate crime, to make someone feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.
01:03:05.000Literally, I don't think it specifies.
01:03:07.000To make someone feel afraid, is that what it says?
01:03:09.000Intimidate means willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.
01:03:20.000Intimidate does not include constitutionally protected activity or conduct that serves a legitimate purpose.
01:03:25.000Well, constitutional protected activity is calling a man a woman.
01:04:50.000He was found in contempt of court and arrested Tuesday for calling the teen his daughter and publicly referring to him with the pronouns she and her.
01:05:01.000That's already happening here, though, in California.
01:05:03.000They want it to be child abuse if you don't affirm your child's perceived gender.
01:05:07.000Exactly, I'm telling you, it is coming.
01:05:09.000Everybody got really mad at Target for the tuck-friendly bathing suit, but then when you really looked at it, their marketing of VP was giving $2.1 million to GLSEN, which actually is a corporation that helps kids transition behind their parents' back.
01:05:26.000They've been partnered with organizations like that for like over a decade, though.
01:05:30.000Target is one of the headline sponsors for New York City's Youth Pride, and was one of the founding sponsors of New York City Youth Pride.
01:05:37.000So it wasn't just... I'm just surprised it took this long for people to realize.
01:05:41.000But I think the narrative- How far their tentacles were reaching.
01:05:44.000I think the narrative around pride in these organizations shifted over time.
01:05:47.000Like over the last decade it went from being like you're gonna come out to your parents and they're not gonna accept you and you need a chosen family who will embrace you and love you to being like you're gonna tell your parents that you want to undergo medical intervention surgery to alter your sexual characteristics and they're gonna say no and that's terrible and you're gonna have to look for people to support you.
01:06:04.000Like, the conversation has dramatically shifted as our leftist progressive counterparts have embraced gender ideology.
01:06:54.000Like I said before, this is a specific thing the Supreme Court just ruled on yesterday, that state laws shouldn't compel you to do something that violates the way you would otherwise speak.
01:07:07.000They're sort of saying like, Well, we're not saying that you can't say something, we're just saying that we'll punish you if you don't say this other thing.
01:07:13.000Well, I think the dad was really disappointed because if you notice in this particular situation, this was a female to male transition, giving them no advantage in sports.
01:07:24.000Now, if this was the other way around, where it was a male transition to a female, maybe she would have been a great athlete, like Leah Thomas, and then he would have been more proud of her.
01:07:34.000It's on the dad, that's what I'm saying.
01:07:44.000Well, that's the thing, Tim, they literally, this has happened with Chloe Cole, they'll tell the children's parents that the child is going to kill themselves if they do not get this gender reaffirming surgery.
01:07:56.000When in actuality, desistance rates are between like 65 and 98 percent, so your best The best course of action, seemingly, for the child, this is what Europe found, is nothing.
01:08:10.000And when they say stuff like, if you don't do this, your kid will take their own life or harm themselves, it's actually the inverse.
01:08:16.000If the suicidality, ideation and action is higher among the transgender population, but children are 60-90% likely to desist with no intervention, then intervention actually increases the rate of suicidality.
01:09:04.000To confirm what you're saying, Alex, antidepressants and suicide risk from the National Institute of Health, 2005, systematic review, controlled trials, compared SSRIs with other active treatments or placebos found almost two-fold increase in the odds of fatal and non-fatal suicide acts among those exposed to SSRIs.
01:09:26.000And I'm not a doctor at all, but I'm telling you, not once during the pandemic did they ever tell anybody to go get some exercise and eat better.
01:09:33.000I mean, I think that's where it comes down to a lot of our mental health problems, too, is the crap that we eat and we don't exercise.
01:09:37.000And just because I'm sure a lot of people are like, what's an SSRI?
01:09:40.000It's a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor.
01:10:25.000I don't think the human body is designed for a sedentary lifestyle.
01:10:28.000And that's unfortunately, you know, one of the nice things about having, you know, non-manual labor jobs is that you get to be in the air conditioning and, you know, whatever else.
01:10:36.000On the other hand, now you are putting your body at a permanent state of rest, which is not good for it.
01:10:41.000So unless you actively try to find ways to be active, you are more likely to Harm your body, essentially.
01:10:49.000I think that's why a lot of people are just more mentally ill in general, because our entire society and lifestyle is antithetical to the human condition, both mentally and physically.
01:10:59.000Yeah, well you mentioned birth control, and that's one of the things that I find super interesting, because you probably say this too, there's this study that says if you start birth control before the age of 20, you're 130% more likely to develop depression.
01:11:12.000commit suicide and all women. This is like a one of the largest studies ever done on
01:11:17.000this was 260,000 women is published by Cambridge Press University Press. They found that women
01:11:24.000any of any age are 90% more likely to develop symptoms of depression if they take birth
01:11:28.000control and to me one of the interesting things about this and maybe you can talk about the
01:11:34.000two but my anecdotal experiences all know girls who it's not to sleep around. I know
01:11:39.000that's the thing conservative men always bring up and it's not an unreasonable thing to question
01:11:42.000about society but they're told oh you have bad really painful cramps it's disruptive
01:11:47.000to your education to your job get on birth control your skin anything.
01:11:50.000They'll use it as this treat-all pill.
01:11:52.000But really, those are symptoms that your hormones are out of whack.
01:11:55.000So instead of treating the hormone imbalance through diet, through food, through exercise, they just say, cover that and prolong the problem.
01:12:03.000And then we don't talk about the consequences.
01:12:06.0002020 was the 60th anniversary of when the FDA signed off on birth control as a form of contraceptive or the pill.
01:12:13.000And yet we're still just now acknowledging that women become extremely depressed because of it.
01:12:20.000You put your body's hormones on pause for years on end and expect there to be no consequences?
01:12:25.000No, and that's the issue, is that there's not informed consent for women for so many things that are given to them, especially birth control.
01:12:33.000These young girls, I was put on it at 14 for acne, for something minuscule, and I wasn't told, hey, you might get really depressed.
01:12:49.000And so they, but female unhappiness, nobody's talking about this.
01:12:53.000Relative, their subjective wellbeing, our subjective wellbeing as women has fallen
01:12:58.000both absolutely and relatively to that of men, despite there being so much progress.
01:13:03.000And there's actually a really funny Yale study that talks about this, the paradox of declining female happiness, female unhappiness, because they talk about it.
01:13:12.000They're like, wow, we're making so much progress, but women are more unhappy than ever!
01:13:17.000Because we're severing women from their biological nature, from femininity, and pumping them full of hormones and telling them the only way you're happy is if you're like a man and you don't have And then if you get depressed, they're like, and have some SSRIs, which we now agree.
01:13:30.000Then they're on a pharmaceutical cocktail.
01:13:35.000If I'm on birth control and I go to my doctor and I say I'm depressed, they do not even ask you most of the time or mention that it might be the birth control.
01:13:43.000They just pop you on an SSRI or they pop you on something else.
01:13:46.000And now you're on a pharmaceutical cocktail and it gets even worse.
01:13:49.000Well, I look at a doctor a lot like a mechanic, basically, where they don't actually want to fix a problem, they just want to cut off the check engine light so you can't see what the problem is, and that's basically why they just medicate you.
01:14:00.000Instead of actually trying to fix the problem, fix the engine, you know, actually do the hard work, they just want to give you this, you know, placebo cure-all.
01:14:07.000Yeah, but are you talking about bad doctors?
01:14:09.000Yeah, but most doctors are, because they'll just give you an SSRI, you just walk in and say, oh, I'm depressed.
01:14:12.000They don't even ask you ten questions about why you're depressed.
01:14:14.000I don't know, maybe you're going to bad doctors.
01:14:17.000Yeah, but this is the problem with doctors, though, Tim, is that you know this.
01:15:49.000My point is, and I don't know about 99%, but the overall majority.
01:15:55.000It's just, it's not an answer to say, because most people in this field are bad, we're screwed.
01:16:01.000It's just, it's your responsibility to make sure the people you are working with are doing right by you.
01:16:09.000It is not my or anyone else's responsibility.
01:16:11.000If you go to a bad, insert any trade, that is your fault.
01:16:16.000I think that's multifaceted, though, because most people don't know that their doctor may not be giving them the best advice.
01:16:22.000And I don't think it's just... I think a lot of doctors are becoming dishonest and they're doing brand deals, but I also think because they're focusing on volume and getting people in and out.
01:16:31.000I think a doctor should be sitting with you for an hour or two, really diving into... But they don't do that.
01:16:36.000I just... I feel like it's not really arguing what I'm saying.
01:16:39.000So many people said, I went to my doctor and they gave me bad information.
01:16:43.000I checked online and found a different doctor.
01:17:17.000Well, this is how it works, because I actually have my dealer's license.
01:17:20.000How it works is, in Texas, if you buy a car through a licensed dealer, you have to give them basically a post-sale inspection.
01:17:25.000You have to make sure that it passes inspection, and if not, you have to tell them it's as-is.
01:17:29.000So, in that sense, it is good, because, listen, I don't like the government getting involved in business, but at least when I sold a person a car, they knew it was either as-is, with no warranty, or the car was perfectly fine.
01:17:38.000If the argument is Big Pharma is corrupt, and many doctors just accept whatever they say, and Big Pharma sponsors universities, there's no question.
01:17:47.000But I do not accept the argument that it's not a person's fault for not taking the responsibility to do research on who they're hiring to treat their bodies.
01:17:56.000Yeah, but I wouldn't know how to treat cancer.
01:17:59.000I wouldn't know how to... I mean, there's a lot of stuff... But let me tell you, if you went to a doctor and they prescribed, like, splashing bleach in your face, you'd be like, hey, wait a minute.
01:19:00.000I'll be like, dude, why didn't you do any research before?
01:19:04.000I don't know what the argument is that...
01:19:07.000Well, doctors take an oath to make sure that they have their patients' best interests, and I don't think doctors follow that oath.
01:19:13.000I think I'm viewing it from an individualist, and you're viewing it from a collectivist perspective.
01:19:16.000It's more fair to think of it as a fireman than a plumber, because the fireman, it's life and death.
01:19:21.000They come, they have to put the fire out the right way.
01:19:24.000If they go in there and they create some sort of arson or do something faulty, you're gonna know immediately, and it's the same way with doctors.
01:19:30.000I mean, plumbers, obviously, it's just not life and death.
01:19:39.000Doctors in Canada right now are literally prescribing people medically-assisted suicide because they can't afford the chairlift in their house.
01:19:46.000And we also found a guy who said, give us 10 grand, we'll give him stem cells.
01:20:10.000It's just... No, I don't trust a doctor that says, kill your cat, and then if you say no, he says, okay, then give it this medicine until it dies.
01:21:45.000No, but I'm just saying, all doctors are basically corrupt.
01:21:48.000Do you think that, like, there's no Trump-supporting doctors?
01:21:51.000Of course, but I think that they're in the, I think that's the, they're in the major minority, for sure.
01:21:55.000It's that they're centralized through the AMA and the FDA.
01:21:57.000Listen, we can only talk about so much stuff because of medical misinformation.
01:21:59.000There's a lot of stuff I'd like to be talking, I would sound like RFK, but I think if you just look at RFK and you look at correlation and causation and you could look at a lot of stuff, Tim, you could see some numbers.
01:22:10.000He's also, I think he's wrong about a lot of stuff.
01:22:12.000Well, I think about childhood vaccines.
01:22:15.000I mean, we can, like I said, medical misinformation is going to say so much, but I do think it's weird some of the schedules of vaccines for young children at that young of age, and then you look at the occurrence of autism at a rate that we've never seen.
01:22:29.000I'm not saying that They're totally connected, but, I mean, it's hard to not, you know, put the two together.
01:22:41.000Raise the yellow flag and let's take a look at all this stuff, man.
01:22:44.000One of the biggest issues when it comes to any of this stuff is If there are 50 variables in a problem, and you're aware of two of them, you might think those two things are correlated.
01:22:56.000But you don't know the other variables.
01:22:58.000So, the trans kids, for instance, is a good argument.
01:23:01.000Conservatives often talk about social contagion, and then I immediately say endocrine disruptors.
01:23:05.000Like, there are other things that are disrupting the hormones of children.
01:23:13.000Speaking of... Are we... But it's like cancer clusters, they can usually figure out what's causing something if there's a cluster of people getting sick from the same thing.
01:23:20.000You can, and especially with AI, you can put that data in and very quickly... So we should be able to figure this out, but... So, the answer is not that we know for sure, but that we should take all the data available, not... It's... I think we should... Not eight mice.
01:23:36.000Right, we should take We should have any kid diagnosed with autism and we should talk about where they live, environmental factors, density of like uraniums or selenium or whatever may be in their water, medications, vaccines, not just any one but all, load that into an AI and it'll show us the patterns and then we can assess that move forward.
01:23:56.000My main point with doctors is I do not disagree that most doctors just say, this is what we're told to give you.
01:24:03.000My point is, that is the reason why it is incumbent upon you to go to a doctor, ask questions, and then shop around.
01:24:10.000Well, do you think most doctors would listen to Peter Hotez?
01:24:14.000The answer is yes, but to what degree?
01:24:17.000Because if you go to rural areas and MAGA country, you'll find most doctors there probably would not.
01:24:25.000I actually think you'll find a lot of doctors who... You're gonna have a higher density of doctors in major urban liberal centers, and as Democrats, believe what CNN tells them, and just march in lockstep.
01:24:38.000But I guarantee you, if you go to a Trump-supporting doctor, he's going to agree with you.
01:24:48.000If you are distrustful of the medical system, find a doctor who politically aligns with you, and then do your research.
01:24:53.000I don't think politics is enough, though, because I think there's Trump-supporting doctors who still will prescribe birth control to young girls.
01:25:04.000It is not the responsibility of everyone else.
01:25:07.000Yeah, but if you come to me, Tim, and you say, I have cancer, I need help, and I'm a doctor, you're going to take whatever they give you because you're going to trust them.
01:26:33.000The world is not fair, the world is not perfect, the world is not safe.
01:26:36.000If you are in New York City- But isn't it a bad system that if you have an emergency you're gonna go to a doctor that's more than likely bad?
01:26:40.000No one is arguing against that, but you said all doctors are bad.
01:26:44.000Not all, but I'd say the majority of them are.
01:26:45.000And the majority could be what, 51% or 99%?
01:26:48.000I think that they're given bad information because they're not- that's why I think it is.
01:26:52.000I think they're actually probably good inherently, like morally they're probably good, but they're going off bad information.
01:26:57.000Yes, we need- The average person to take responsibility for their health and not just go, oh, that means instead of saying all doctors are bad, it's pointless.
01:27:08.000We say, no, you just have to work hard.
01:27:12.000And if you don't, you don't deserve it.
01:27:14.000If you blindly trust someone to inject you in a 7-Eleven parking lot, you deserve whatever happens.
01:27:19.000But it's if you do research, and to the best of your ability decide what is right for you because the responsibility is incumbent upon you, then, sure, malpractice I believe kicks in.
01:27:28.000Well, what if you can't afford that, Doctor?
01:27:30.000If you can't afford medical treatment, welcome to real life.
01:27:34.000If you can't afford a spear and you're in the woods and a bear attacks you, that's not my problem.
01:27:38.000Not to be a contrarian, even though I am conservative, I actually do believe that our
01:27:42.000medical industrial complex is totally crooked and that we need to have caps or we should have some
01:27:47.000sort of socialized health care. I know that sounds crazy and that's not a conservative viewpoint,
01:27:51.000but I think the basic necessity of having insulin, the fact that insulin is $200 in Texas,
01:27:56.000but it's $2 in Mexico, that's because of corruption. So we have such a corrupt system.
01:28:02.000I think it is corrupt, and that means... You can't fix it.
01:28:04.000That means you have to personally do the work to find a good doctor.
01:28:07.000But I can't change the price of insulin.
01:28:09.000You can go to Mexico, you can go to Canada.
01:28:39.000You can hire a security guard, you can hire a cop, and then that cop runs away from the mass shooting event and gets criminally charged for it.
01:28:45.000That's true, because a cop and an attorney, they take an oath to, you know...
01:28:49.000An oath is... the world is not a rigid mathematical system.
01:28:53.000It is a system of people and fallibility.
01:28:55.000A cop can fail at his job, and then you sue.
01:28:57.000A doctor can fail at his job, and then you sue.
01:28:59.000You as an individual have the responsibility to make sure you are doing everything you
01:29:05.000require, and it's... to me, the point is this.
01:29:08.000I guarantee you, if you walk into a random clinic and say, Doc, whatever you say is law,
01:30:47.000But I'm talking about if somebody's in pain, and we have a cheap thing that'll fix their pain, I think that they should be able to have access to it.
01:30:54.000Instead, doctors are saying, no, we can't, because you know what?
01:30:56.000A few years ago, we over-prescribed Oxycontin, and then we got in trouble, and so now we can't actually give people with pain pain medicine.
01:31:08.000I don't know if you guys saw, the World Health Organization just classified aspartame as a possible carcinogen.
01:31:14.000And that's another thing we need to talk about.
01:31:15.000The level of cancer in young people now is at the highest levels it's ever been.
01:31:19.000So we're talking about autism earlier, like you were talking about all these different factors that could happen in the 80s, the amount of aspartame that pregnant mothers were taking.
01:31:25.000Look at me, I'm drinking it right now!
01:31:42.000Reagan put Rumsfeld in with this and got it with like a, they wouldn't vote to make it a food because it was like, I don't know if they used it as rat poison or something in the 60s.
01:31:51.000And then when Reagan got in, it was like the day he got into office, he stacked this five-man panel and then they made it legal.
01:31:58.000I think it's a little bit ridiculous, though, that they're coming out, ooh, aspartame causes cancer.
01:32:48.000And then Doc had said, Tim, failing miserably, this is embarrassing, you are wrong, I am right.
01:32:54.000The fact is, it doesn't matter if docs are corrupt.
01:32:57.000You are not entitled to a system that works as you want it to be unless you work to build it.
01:33:02.000If it is truth and reality that most doctors shill for big pharma, and we all accept that, it is incumbent upon you to find someone you trust to prescribe you medication.
01:33:12.000And if you simply go, nope, no such thing exists, then you are entitled to nothing.
01:33:16.000Hey, but Tim, Tim, I can kind of be your argument right now.
01:34:56.000But assuming that's the case, there might have been... Assuming that's the case, let's assume... That might not be the reason.
01:34:59.000Let's just, just for hypotheticals, let's just assume that... I never, I never do that.
01:35:03.000But even if that's true, Alex... I never, I never say, let's choose a country I know nothing about, did no research on... The overarching point is that a country with less medical supplies did better during the pandemic than the one with access to every single medical supply and medical expert in the world.
01:37:19.000It could be a better diet, or just that they have a less bad diet.
01:37:26.000Here we have a lot of plastics, like food colorings made from coal tar, aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, which is like a franken chemical, and obesity, 60% obesity rates.
01:37:37.000That's a big part of COVID was obesity.
01:37:40.000Maybe they didn't have that in Africa.
01:37:56.000I'll tell you another issue I take with RFK's stance.
01:37:59.000He's taken the false stance that ivermectin was not approved because if there was a treatment for COVID, it would ruin the vaccine emergency use authorization, which makes literally no sense at all.
01:38:42.000The reason why they're able to not do the standard testing, the protocol, that they would normally do, is because of the emergency use authorization.
01:38:49.000And so everyone keeps saying... So if ivermectin would have been effective, they would have not been able to use it with an emergency use... E-U-A.
01:38:55.000They could have put it under EUA the same as- You're talking about putting an ivermectin?
01:38:58.000Yeah, but they don't want to do that because it costs two cents and everybody can get it because they wouldn't have benefited financially from doing this.
01:39:05.000So what I said was, the argument from RFK that the reason it was not approved is because that would end the EUA is wrong, and you agree with me, right?
01:39:13.000Well, it would have- if- Ivermectin would have been given to more people.
01:39:17.000I don't think Ivermectin is just some cure-all for COVID.
01:39:24.000And so that would have maybe lessened the vaccine's emergency use.
01:39:28.000The position taken by RFK and many others that Ivermectin was not approved because it would have affected the EUA is an incorrect statement because there were treatments approved under EUA outside of vaccines.
01:39:40.000If the argument is that it couldn't make money off it, I agree.
01:39:44.000If it had been approved... I think that's what this all comes down to for Big Pharma is money, though, Tim.
01:39:49.000I think if Ivermectin had been approved not for emergency use, but actually just approved as a functioning therapeutic, then maybe it would have disrupted the EUAs for the others.
01:39:58.000And so long as monoclonal antibodies, which were exorbitantly expensive and unavailable to the average person... Yeah, Ivermectin costs one cent a pill.
01:40:05.000...did receive an EUA, Then they could have put it under EUA.
01:40:08.000So the problem I have with this is it is a false argument, and if you want to make the argument it was because of price, I agree.
01:40:16.000They don't want to approve cheap, free drugs, because Big Pharma is corrupt and evil.
01:40:51.000The idea that we would give no-bid, no-liability contracts to massive multinational corporations and mandate medication is psychotic.
01:40:58.000Yeah, but that's what's ruining the world, is that we're not run by human beings, and I think I said this last time, we're being run by multinational corporations that don't have the ability to feel empathy when they can buy and sell these politicians.
01:41:07.000Even Donald Trump, I love Donald Trump, but he's inviting the Johnson & Johnson family on stage.
01:41:12.000I'm saying every politician has a price, and these multinational corporations Yes.
01:43:06.000My personal thought is that he was threatened, maybe not threatened, but asked politely not to do it by some of his compatriots in the medical industry.
01:43:41.000Listen, and Tim, I think what you said is exactly right because, once again, medical misinformation, but Peter HOTAS has an autistic daughter and he wrote a book saying that vaccines do not cause autism.
01:44:07.000What is your basis for that assumption?
01:44:08.000Well, if you look at the MMR vaccine, if you look at the scheduling of MMR vaccine, and Dale Bigtree did a really good video about this called Vax, and there was a time when Robert De Niro had this playing in the Tribeca Film Festival, and they got it taken out.
01:45:02.000They said correlation does not mean causation.
01:45:03.000And then we have to consider every other variable that exists in human development and the environment.
01:45:09.000I would agree with Tim there, and Cernovic talks about that a lot, but we do need to look into why there's a rise in special ed kids, kids with autism.
01:45:32.000Because what people do is, there's a big painting before you, and they'll look at one portion of it and say, that proves it.
01:45:41.000And I'm like, listen, if you want to talk about the transgender youth issue, if you want to talk about autism rates, there are A thousand variables that need to be assessed in this before we can say we know for sure.
01:45:52.000You certainly, 5G perhaps, the advent of cellular technology over the 90s, I believe absolutely has some degree of impact on the human body.
01:46:05.000So my issue is this, if we know that plastics are causing problems, birth control in the water, seeping into the water causing problems, and these are proven, we know that there's phthalates, PCBs, we have an increase in vaccination scheduling, all of those things are true, I will not come out and be like, but this one thing I will say definitively did thing.
01:46:25.000We need a, and this is impossible to do, It's not necessarily impossible.
01:46:31.000We need a long-term study looking at children born in the 80s in a plastic-heavy country and children born in a country with no plastic.
01:46:40.000Then, we need to take a similar data set.
01:46:43.000Kids born in a country with no plastic but high vaccination rates, specifically from this brand, and kids born in countries with no plastic and no vaccination.
01:46:51.000It is very, very difficult to accurately get the information that we need to figure out what's really going on.
01:46:56.000This is the most effective measure, and I do think, no disrespect to Alex here, but I think connecting autism and vaccines is counterproductive to actually figuring out what's going on with our kids, because then they just say, oh, you're just a conspiracy theorist, like you said, but instead we should demand answers.
01:47:13.000It very well may be that vaccines, that is the issue, right?
01:47:17.000But until we demand answers and say, hey, why is this happening?
01:47:21.000Why is there a dramatic increase in kids with autism?
01:47:23.000Why do we have a dramatic increase in kids with learning disabilities?
01:47:28.000We need a demand for that research and that information.
01:47:30.000I think it could be a combination of both, but, I mean, listen, just, everybody, do not listen to me, I do not want to keep spewing medical facts on here, but everybody needs to go watch the documentary Vaxxed with Del Bigtree, and that, I know Tim, I'm just saying, that will have some stats in there.
01:47:43.000You're going to say, even when they question Big Pharma, they have to say, oh well, you're right, these numbers are weird, and the scheduling is different, if we give them this at a lower age, they have less autism.
01:47:52.000But they say correlation does not mean causation.
01:47:55.000I mean, I've watched documentaries with the numbers in it, whatever.
01:47:57.000But my point is, these are real numbers from real agencies, and they look us in the face and say, oh, well, I know you're putting two and two together, but sorry, it equals five, not four.
01:48:07.000Yeah, rather than say that it causes, I think saying it may be contributing to it.
01:49:03.000It's clearly, you know, Biden standing there going, ah, but the symbol for the authoritarian regime, it's a red line and then a blue line going up and over.
01:49:40.000What DeSantis did in that video that I disagree with is that he conflated the current issue of the weird grooming of kids with eight years ago Trump being like, hey, if you're gay, it's all right.
01:50:11.000I'm not saying it was that bad, but that is the vibe it gave.
01:50:13.000Like, Trump holding a flag, and I put him in jail!
01:50:17.000First I heard Trump say that he would encourage a trans woman to use a bathroom with other girls, so I don't know how he still feels about that.
01:50:26.000With Caitlyn Jenner, what did he say about Caitlyn Jenner?
01:50:27.000Well, that was a big deal when Caitlyn Jenner went and pooped in Trump Plaza or whatever, but he would let Caitlyn Jenner go to his house, so Caitlyn Jenner is probably a one-off.
01:50:35.000Yeah, I think he really doesn't care, but once you start to understand what is happening to kids, then... I don't like the way they prop up Caitlyn.
01:51:25.000Neboop says, Megan Kelly, when she grasped it, if you think these MAGA people will vote for anyone but Trump, you weren't paying attention.
01:51:56.000Remember you joked, if I could just sit in my basement in my sweats and talk on the phone and have a frontman, you guys laugh and think it's Joe Biden?
01:52:02.000No, no, it's Michelle, and she will be president, and it will be Obama, Barack, running the country for eight years from his base.
01:52:06.000Barack was just at the White House with Joe Biden for lunch earlier this week, I believe, so there's something going on.
01:52:12.000It's like they know each other or something.
01:52:15.000They give us the impression that the Bidens and Obama's get along.
01:52:58.000What if you have it in, like, a pile of trash out on your front lawn?
01:53:01.000There's, like, a picture, a nude picture, but it's stacked in a big pile of papers, and some kid goes up to it and sifts through the papers and finds it.
01:53:08.000Yeah, that's different, because if you threw it away, I think that's... But we can create a million different scenarios, and ultimately it's just, ask the judge.
01:53:14.000Ask some random guy that happens to be a judge.
01:53:56.000The creator wasn't comfortable doing the dystopian stuff, so he's kind of changed gears.
01:54:00.000But in the first episode, there is a, I'm not going to spoil the story for you if you haven't seen it, there is a woman and she has her lawyer going over her contract and she goes, how can they do this to me?
01:54:08.000And he goes, that's right here in the contract.
01:54:32.000People don't understand that A judge can literally just be like, nope, have a nice day.
01:54:37.000They don't like being overruled in appeals and things like that, so they try to be correct, but it's a human being who says, I don't think the law was intending that, so get out.
01:54:45.000We should get some judges on the show.
01:54:46.000But you know where that's a real big deal, though, Tim, is where the parent's getting divorced and one parent wants to transition their kid behind their back, and it's a judge who gets to decide, you know, who's right and who's wrong.
01:54:56.000So it's, you know, some judge that has nothing in, you know, Sean says, ATF's frame and receiver rule was vacated.
01:55:06.000The ATF tried to regulate the sale of 80% receivers, which aren't firearms by law.
01:55:10.000Firearms policy coalition just kept bending the ATF over a barrel.
01:55:14.000Does that mean that guy, uh, what was this?
01:55:17.000Uh, there are people who got arrested over that, weren't there?
01:55:18.000Are they, are they going to get their charges dropped now?
01:55:23.000You could buy kits where it was legally not a gun, and then you could get the parts to make and build your own gun, and they started going after people for it, so... Interesting.
01:55:48.000Endometriosis is a rather painful condition, and it helps some women.
01:55:55.000I believe scar tissue developing along your uterus.
01:55:58.000Yeah, so it makes your time of the month very painful.
01:56:01.000It can cause infertility, things like that.
01:56:03.000And that's helpful for some women, and if that's the trade-off they want.
01:56:07.000Yeah, I think you have to weigh the cost.
01:56:09.000The problem with birth control is that women aren't really informed about the cost of birth control.
01:56:14.000So if you have extreme pain because of endometriosis, maybe this is the best course of action.
01:56:19.000But if you have bad cramping because you're not getting enough of a vitamin and they never test your vitamin levels, then probably birth control is not worth the risk.
01:56:28.000It helps with cysts, too, birth control.
01:56:39.000And it can't just be like, oh, you might gain weight, because I think that's the biggest risk that doctors warn women about, which is not enough.
01:56:44.000Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus.
01:56:51.000Oh, and that's another side effect of SSRIs is sometimes you overeat, weight gain, so that's not good if you're depressed to get fatter.
01:56:59.000Alright, TKZ Graham says, while I'm for minimizing kids watching porn, jail for posting porn on Twitter is a bit much, why not just ban the account?
01:57:07.000My response to this is, I find it remarkable that our society has eroded to the point where that is the assessment.
01:57:13.000That, well, it's only people, you know, posting pictures of lewd and lascivious activities in public that kids can find, but maybe we should just ask them to stop.
01:57:20.000It's like, okay, if that's your position, fine, but understand, 20 years ago, you'd get arrested if you did something like that.
01:57:59.000The law says that you can't take pictures of children and, you know, lewd pictures of children and share them.
01:58:03.000So they've begun arresting teenagers for posting on Snapchat.
01:58:07.000Yeah, even if a kid, if someone under 18, sends a picture of themselves to someone, they're distributing child porn.
01:58:12.000The law does not say, not of you, there's no exception for it.
01:58:16.000So they've arrested kids for this stuff.
01:58:18.000And then judges need to, and they have, said, okay, no, the purpose of a judge is to be like, the law is not intending to destroy the lives of children because they're doing dumb things on the internet.
01:58:30.000They'll get a slap on the wrist, don't post this stuff again, but it's very, very different from what we're trying to stop.
01:58:35.000Well, in states like Massachusetts, they're trying to just totally make it okay for peer-to-peers to send nudes to engage in sexual intercourse.
01:58:49.000So there's this girl, Michelle Evans, I'll just tell the story real quick.
01:58:52.000She's actually being charged in Travis County because she was at the protests at the Capitol in Texas and she just took a picture of a trans person in the bathroom.
01:59:00.000They weren't peeing, they were at the sink.
01:59:02.000And because it is legal to take a picture of a person in the bathroom, even though she didn't take it, she transferred it and transmitted it.
01:59:10.000Wait, is that the photo where there was...
01:59:13.000No, it's just a trans person in the capital, in the capital, the Texas state capital, and they were just using the sink.
01:59:19.000And because it was a picture in a bathroom, even though it wasn't pornographic, she's being charged.
01:59:24.000MichaelTB says, Tim, you're wrong on the doctor thing.
01:59:27.000There are many dirty doctors out there.
01:59:29.000If you're not rich or you're in an insurance plan, you don't have the choice.
01:59:34.000And then Jason Hudgeson says, Tim is arguing ownership of self, of mind, and termination, and everyone else is going, Ree, someone should do the work for me because I want them to.
02:00:19.000When people are scared and they are going to a doctor and they feel like they have to make a split-second decision because their body's health is on the line, that's when I worry the most that bad information can really screw someone.
02:00:38.000I'm just saying, generally, these doctors don't have... They don't have... They're not legally allowed to actually, basically, doctor with their mind.
02:00:47.000They have to follow certain protocols.
02:00:49.000And if they don't, they lose their livelihood.
02:01:02.000I just say this, you know, I remember the story where some kid had a genetic disease and there was a cure for it and it cost a million bucks.
02:01:09.000So the family sued the state being like, you have to give it to us because, you know,
02:02:05.000All right, everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.
02:02:09.000You can follow the show at TimCastIRL.
02:03:13.000I think, we're not doing an uncensored one tonight, but what I've been thinking lately is like, if we're fully uncensored, we might not get the ad revenue, but we'll get more subscribers.
