Joe Biden could be embroiled in the FBI probe into his son's finances, experts say. And a man whose daughter was abused in a bathroom by a transgender student is taking matters into his own hands. Plus, a judge might have inadvertently funded the president s drug binge.
00:00:15.000Joe Biden could be embroiled in the FBI probe into Hunter's finances.
00:00:20.000Experts say emails reveal they shared bank accounts and they paid each other's bills.
00:00:27.000And wow, that's a huge red flag, especially if Hunter Biden is doing deals and he's being flown out on air force to buy his dad to China for private equity.
00:01:05.000Most of us knew the story before we even got to this point.
00:01:08.000And of course, this is why Twitter was shutting the story down back during the election, because it was really, really bad for Joe, and now we're stuck with him.
00:01:14.000But regular people are, they're fed up.
00:01:17.000I mean, we got 4.3 million resignations in August.
00:01:21.000We've got shortages of basically everything.
00:01:24.000Cargo ports, railways, everything is jammed up.
00:01:35.000So now we are seeing Joe Biden with the worst aggregate approval rating of his nine months, and he's already at 43.
00:01:45.000When Donald Trump was being impeached, he actually had the highest approval rating of his term, so I can't understand how someone could be so despised at this point.
00:01:54.000And not be impeached when Trump could be.
00:02:06.000We have a major scandal in Loudoun County with these parents who have been challenging critical race theory.
00:02:12.000Turns out, and we gotta keep this one family-friendly, this is a disgusting story, a man whose daughter was abused in a bathroom by a transgender student.
00:02:20.000...tried to bring the issue up and was tackled and dragged out.
00:02:24.000The scandal was covered up, and now it is all being revealed thanks to reporting by the Daily Wire.
00:02:29.000So we're gonna get into all this stuff.
00:02:57.000I want to find, dig up, and explain the intellectual and academic roots of what we call wokeness and the woke movement so that people can understand exactly what they're dealing with when woke people say things to them which to the rest of us might not seem
00:03:15.000to make a lot of sense, but how within their own internal system it can be coherent. Some people,
00:03:20.000one easy way to explain is you've done work with James Lindsay. Yes, yeah, James Lindsay is a
00:03:25.000good friend of mine. We were at a retreat some time ago.
00:03:30.000ago. The pictures are out there with some other people and James is an excellent source.
00:03:34.000He's helped his book, Cynical Theories was very instructive and him and I go back for
00:03:40.000a few years now and we've been working on this problem. He's excellent.
00:03:44.000We got a lot to talk about. We also got Luke Rudkowski.
00:05:25.000I was just using the bank account, paying my bills with it while my son was actively taking money from foreign governments, and then I went to Ukraine and got a prosecutor fired who was investigating the company my son was a director at.
00:05:37.000Yeah, I think we know where this is going.
00:05:51.000But before we get started, my friends, go to TimCast.com, become a member, and you'll get access to exclusive members-only segments of the TimCast IRL Podcast.
00:05:57.000You especially want to go check the website right now and the members-only section for the TimCast IRL Podcast, because there is big news.
00:06:04.000But we're going to wait until the end of the show to announce what's going on.

00:06:09.000We're going to have a member segment coming up around 11 or so PM.
00:06:27.000Joe Biden could become embroiled in the FBI's probe into Hunter's finances, experts say.
00:06:34.000Emails reveal they shared bank accounts, paid each other's bills, and the president may have even funded his son's 2018 drug and prostitution binge.
00:06:45.000We're going to be a little careful on this one, because we try to be a family-friendly show.
00:06:48.000But when it comes to the President and his son, it's anything but family-friendly.
00:06:53.000From Joe Biden touching children and sniffing them inappropriately, to his son doing crack.
00:06:58.000I'm sorry, we can only cover up so much in an attempt to protect your children's ears.
00:07:03.000The Daily Mail says President Joe Biden could become embroiled in an FBI investigation.
00:07:06.000Let me just stop and say, yeah, right.
00:07:10.000Emails recovered by DailyMail.com from Hunter's abandoned laptop between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, his business partner at Rosemount Seneca, show Schwerin was working on Joe's taxes, discussing the father and son paying each other's household bills, and even fielding requests for a book deal for the then-Vice President.
00:07:32.000It is unclear why Schwerin Had the intimate role in the vice president's affairs rather than government officials in the office of the vice president.
00:07:39.000Hunter's claim that he and his father shared a bank account also raises serious questions whether funds from the alleged joint account were used for Hunter's May 2018 week-long bender.
00:07:56.000And then if you take a dollar out, yeah, sorry, we don't play that game.
00:07:58.000This is how, like, you know, when the feds go after money laundering, you can't just be like, it's one bank account, but all of our money is different.
00:08:04.000They're gonna be like, nah, you're mixing it all together.
00:08:07.000They say, last December, Hunter admitted in a public statement that he was under federal investigation over his tax affairs.
00:08:13.000All right, let's slow down for a second.
00:08:15.000So now we're learning Joe Biden, sharing a bank account with his son.
00:08:20.000Hunter Biden, on the board of Burisma, getting paid, what was it, $83,000 per month?
00:08:43.000establishment mainstream media is, oh, they fired him because he wasn't investigating this guy.
00:08:49.000So Hunter Biden, who has no business being on the board of this company, a company that's under investigation, getting paid 83 grand, sharing a bank account with his dad.
00:08:57.000His dad then goes in, fires a prosecutor who was investigating the company.
00:09:02.000We know this from Matt Taibbi's reporting.
00:09:04.000Sounds like Joe Biden was protecting his own assets by going to Ukraine, getting this guy fired.
00:09:23.000Fortunately, we already have the TV show, so let's talk about it.
00:09:26.000We can all shake our fists in the air and then tomorrow wake up because nothing changes?
00:09:29.000No, this dude's a scumbag, and I think this is going to be big news.
00:09:34.000They tried to hide the laptop scandal with the Post story.
00:09:37.000Yeah, you brought up a very important point here, Ian.
00:09:40.000The fact that there was so much censorship, especially around the Hunter Biden email stories, because this, I mean, the Daily Mail says that they got this story from the emails.
00:09:49.000So the fact that there was so much suppression shows that they actually do care about what the public thinks about them.
00:09:55.000They actually do need the public to acquiesce, and there's a large number of voters that said that if they knew about these emails, they would have voted differently.
00:10:03.000So this, of course, has a lot of implications.
00:10:05.000I mean, we know he lied about the ATF form when it comes to buying firearms.
00:10:12.000He lied about a lot of other things as well that he should have been held responsible for, liable for.
00:10:19.000I mean, the guy is on video committing acts.
00:10:22.000There's photos of him committing acts that we can't even mention here on YouTube.
00:10:26.000Let me read this portion of the story, because y'all's jaws are going to hit the floor.
00:10:31.000Hunter and Schwerin privately discussed the potential to ingratiate themselves with, quote, CEOs of the major banks if they helped arrange the request.
00:10:40.000This is to Senator Robert Menendez, who requested VP Biden host the US-Spain's Council 2010 Annual Meeting at his official Naval Observatory residence in D.C.
00:10:48.000They contacted Schwerin rather than Joe's White House office.
00:10:53.000Hunter complained that half of his salary went to paying his father's bills while he was VP, casting doubt on Joe's previous claim that he's never benefited from his son's business dealings.
00:11:04.000In a 2019 text to his daughter Naomi, he wrote, I hope you all can do what I did and pay for
00:11:09.000everything for this entire family for 30 years. It's really hard, but don't worry, unlike pop,
00:11:14.000I won't make you give me half your salary. So that's previously uncovered information.
00:11:18.000Now we have Joe Biden sharing a bank account with his son.
00:11:33.000You cannot do anything special for family, for the most part, for the most part.
00:11:37.000There's certain things like friends and family, you know, with investment stuff.
00:11:40.000But if you want to give someone money, it's taxed.
00:11:43.000It's either a gift up to a certain limit.
00:11:45.000Right now, I believe the limit is $15,000.
00:11:47.000And after that, you got to pay taxes on it.
00:11:49.000If they're splitting bank accounts and they're as wealthy as, you know, we know they're wealthy, then this is, what is this, tax avoidance?
00:11:56.000How much money went into this bank account?
00:12:31.000Look, it's kind of funny when under Trump they were like, Trump won't be investigated because Bill Barr is his lackey and it's never gonna happen and I'm sitting here like, and Merrick Garland?
00:13:01.000I mean, if you're Hunter Biden's father, you can't be telling other people how to raise your children.
00:13:07.000You can't be telling people to, you know, giving them specific...
00:13:11.000He came out and said, you know, if you're if you're not following the science, if you're not taking these procedures, you're not raising your children right.
00:13:18.000And again, there's a lot to say about that.
00:13:21.000But there's just so much corruption, so much dirtiness.
00:13:40.000It's just weird hearing your own voice, but there's so many instances, and as I said yesterday, this country has been sold for pennies on the dollar, and the way you buy influence, the way that you buy off politicians, the way that our system works is incredibly easy for a third party to come in and to manipulate this for their own benefit in so many different ways.
00:14:02.000Having dirt, having videos of Biden doing unspeakable things with Women, with relatives, with family members.
00:14:10.000I mean, that's top-notch, top-level extortion-level material that could be leveraged that we know many foreign countries had before.
00:14:23.000What wasn't in the emails that we still don't know about, that maybe foreign countries have, that could be used to exploit the current president of the United States?
00:14:33.000I feel like, you know, we get this bombshell revelation, oh Joe Biden's sharing banks, like they're funding each other, and Joe Biden potentially paying for hookers and stuff.
00:14:42.000I feel like I just burst into the room and I'm like, everybody listen!
00:15:46.000I think it would have made a big impact in the elections, and I think it's going to make an impact Later down the line in this political spectrum and people
00:16:05.000I would like to make two points about that doesn't ...
00:16:09.000chatter going nuts about my not being.
00:16:11.000I would like to point out, I would like to say that Jean Baudrillard is going to be spinning in his grave over that stunt that Kamala pulled.
00:16:21.000Absolutely unbelievable because every ounce of that is fake.
00:16:26.000The whole thing is a prefabricated commercial where you're supposed to bring people in so that Kamala has a chance to go out and impress them.
00:16:51.000So they have actors who are paid to act like they're real people so that Kamala can come in and act like it's a spontaneous moment that's not set up and prefabricated ahead of time.
00:17:46.000It's all meant to fool you into this larger kind of illusion that they actually have power over you when they desperately need to have that conviction.
00:17:54.000Well, we have more news, ladies and gentlemen.
00:17:57.000Joe Biden's aggregate approval rating is just getting massively worse, breaking a new record high disapproval and a new record low approval.
00:18:22.000His leadership is failing this country.
00:18:24.000We got a southern border crisis, an economic crisis, a jobs crisis, a mass resignation crisis, an inflation crisis, stagflation, shrinkflation, just any kind offlation, just make up a word.
00:19:16.000And what I mean by that is an administration that is actually going to do the job, that is actually having the meetings.
00:19:21.000Joe Biden is probably asleep with a burlap blanket on his laps in the sun snoring all day, while Kamala is just like, what do I got to do to make it seem like I'm working?
00:19:31.000Give me some child actors or something, and I'll just pretend.
00:19:38.000So Biden was unelected and we're seeing the result of choosing people based on like the color of their skin and their gender and sexual orientation.
00:19:45.000We're seeing Pete Buttigieg being totally incompetent.
00:19:48.000Kamala Harris just cackling her way through being a terrible vice president.
00:19:52.000Cackling her way through the vice presidency.
00:21:29.000We're going to stage a genuine moment for the people so that the people can have a genuine moment to look at while they're watching President Biden get vaccined in the White House, in the fake room in the White House.
00:22:57.000I think James O'Keefe really characterized this well where he compared what's happening now to 1984 when they're asking you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
00:23:07.000So I think we're at that particular phase right now where literally we have evidence, we have photos, we have documentation, we have witnesses, we have whistleblowers coming forward Screaming saying hey there's some awful things ... happening in this world there's some really bad people ... doing horrible things and then the mainstream media is like ... it's weather there's bad weather and and regurgitating ... all this nonsense and lies that is absolutely nonsensical ... and anyone paying attention to to anything that's happening ... it's just an insult to their intelligence.
00:23:34.000I got a feeling that, because it seems like since the internet, I started noticing them lying and creating a mass narrative that's not real.
00:23:41.000But before the internet, I never realized it, but I think they were just doing it then anyway.
00:23:45.000They're just using ABC news to push it.
00:23:47.000And now at least it's obvious that there's no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
00:23:51.000And it's not just child actors that they're hiring.
00:23:53.000They're hiring social media influencers.
00:24:17.000You guys know the story, we've talked about it a lot, Kierkegaard's clown, you know, he comes out and he's like, there's a fire in the back, and then everyone starts laughing, and he's like, no seriously, there's a fire, and they laugh even harder, and he says, I think that's how the world will end, you know, or whatever.
00:24:29.000It kind of feels like it's the other way around.
00:24:31.000You know, there's a small group of us and we're sitting in the audience and on TV is
00:24:36.000all of these people that are all pretending like there's no fire and we're the ones yelling
00:24:41.000back like, there is a fire and they're like, no.
00:24:46.000And they just, they're just, they're putting on a show.
00:25:45.000Suppose we go back in time and we find some original, natural, organic strawberries.
00:25:51.000We pick them, we eat them, they taste pretty good.
00:25:53.000Fast forward to the 1960s, and all of a sudden we can farm strawberries, and we only take the biggest, reddest, juiciest strawberries for consumption.
00:26:03.000Well then someone comes along and says, hey, we're eating those big, juicy strawberries, well we can make a strawberry candy out of it.
00:26:09.000Okay, well then we go a little further and someone else says, yeah, we can make a strawberry candy, but we're going to add some sugar.
00:26:14.000Okay, then someone else comes along and says, yeah, well, we'll make a strawberry candy, but we'll use corn syrup instead of sugar.
00:26:20.000Then someone else says, we'll make a soft drink of the candy.
00:26:23.000And then somebody else comes along and says, we are going to make a strawberry slurpee that is flavored Like the soda that is flavored like the candy that is flavored like the straw and all of a sudden you're so far away from the original thing that they're not even comparable.
00:26:40.000The flavor of the strawberry Slurpee is nothing like the flavor of the organic thing.
00:26:46.000What we have right now for a presidency is nothing like what it's supposed to be.
00:26:51.000It's entirely, entirely what they think people expect a presidency to look like.
00:26:57.000That's why they have to build a set, so they can get the perfect angle, so that they can create the image of what they think people expect a presidency to be, at the cost of what an actual presidency might actually be, if one was really occurring.
00:27:09.000I do got some bad news to add to that.
00:27:12.000I think raspberry might be a better example, because you guys know where they get the flavoring for a raspberry artificial flavor?
00:30:06.000For the CEOs, for the establishment, they're like, I'm imagining the CEO sitting there and he's like, he's trying to do this vaccine mandate.
00:30:12.000And like the CEO from some other company, like, you know, AA's there.
00:30:44.000I think this is a continuation of the same thing.
00:30:46.000This is them wanting the appearance of the thing without the actual thing.
00:30:50.000They want the appearance of bowing to the superior, you know, having some kind of responsibility to what Biden has told them to do, even though they haven't actually made a law or rule or even a mandate.
00:31:00.000So they're just taking the appearance.
00:31:02.000They don't really care about what's actually true.
00:31:11.000But the executive order from President Biden mandates all federal employees and then all federal contractors, which covers all major airlines, have to have a vaccine mandate in place by December 8th.
00:31:31.000Southwest said last week that 56,000 employees need to be vaccinated by December 8th in order to keep working for the airline under federal mandate.
00:31:38.000Southwest's announcement came a few days after other carriers, American Airlines, Alaskan Airlines, and JetBlue, informed employees of the need to adhere to federal vaccine rules.
00:31:47.000In August, before the Biden administration's action, United Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines instituted COVID vaccine requirements for their staffs.
00:31:54.000United said earlier this month that more than 96% of its 67,000 U.S.
00:31:57.000employees have shared proof of vaccination after its late September deadline.
00:32:01.000What was the amount of employees they had before this was announced?
00:32:04.000And also, just to throw back to what Ian said, around August is when Joe Biden announced the vaccine mandates and that's when his approval rating flipped the inflection point, when all of a sudden people were like, I don't like this guy.
00:32:14.000Because I'll tell you, I mentioned this on the show several times, I know somebody who is like Biden and waving Biden flags and now he's freaking out because he's like my job is going to force me to do this and I don't want to.
00:32:26.000Some people are saying that the Southwest CEO is in the World Economic Forum, is a part of that group, and it's also just very convenient that he's just lumping everything on Biden.
00:32:39.000There's a lot of big companies saying, we're not going to comply with this.
00:32:42.000And there was even a statement saying that Southwest will not be using the Texas exemption as a way to implement this vaccine passport, this vaccine mandate, which they're imposing.
00:32:54.000There's also a very interesting date that they're setting ... not just with Southwest but many other corporations are ... setting the date of December 8th as the deadline it's all ... kind of done in unison which is oddly strange as well but ... again no one is forcing Southwest to do this it's an ... executive order executive decrees are argued they go to ... court there's a lot of very important court battles.
00:33:18.000So he's moving forward with this and clearly a lot of his employees, a lot of the people who work for him aren't happy with this and they're protesting in their own kind of unique way that we're seeing with this freedom.
00:34:36.000That, along with other disruptions in our supply chains, in our labor workforce, is something that's only going to start from now on, since these deadlines are just encroaching in just a few days from now.
00:34:51.000There's a big conflict happening and whether it's organized or not organized, it's happening.
00:34:56.000And there's a formidable force of individuals of people saying enough is enough.
00:35:03.000I believe in being able to make the right decisions for myself as a human being and the media is acting like these people don't even exist.
00:35:13.000There's a lot more of them than we would even even know about because they don't want you knowing about this.
00:35:17.000They don't want you even talking about the major demonstrations and protests that have been happening all over the world in New York, in Italy, in France, in Australia, in the United Kingdom.
00:35:27.000There's been major huge rallies with thousands of people hitting the streets saying, hey, this is an unpopular I want to point something out too.
00:35:35.000The Southwest CEO is really coming out against the mandates.
00:35:37.000from the government. I don't want big fat bureaucratic agents who work at the DMV
00:35:42.000relegating every aspect of my existence and what I could do and where I could go.
00:35:45.000I got I want to point something out too. The Southwest CEO is really coming out
00:35:49.000against the mandates. Sounds like he knows what's really driving the work
00:35:54.000strain. Right. Could I just ask you said that there actually isn't a
00:37:08.000And he's trying to shift blame on himself, his personal decisions, and blame it on Biden, which I think many multinational corporations have been doing, many powerful interests have been doing, when they implement a lot of their policies that they would never dare publicly even speak about.
00:37:23.000But when you have a guy who's not really even there, who can't even speak properly, that's the perfect opportunity to ram through your bullcrap, blame everything on him.
00:38:00.000Father of five, 20 year Navy vet, 4,000 hours Southwest Airlines and a heart that's broken.
00:38:09.000So those two images are going viral right now and whether this was You know, organized or not, I don't think it even matters at this point because I think it's clear with the mandates encroaching, especially on December 8th, for many people all over the world, for many people in the United States, for many corporations, that these kind of actions, that these kind of
00:38:30.000Disruptions are only going to get more intense.
00:38:33.000There's some people calling for a national strike.
00:39:06.000It's right when everyone is going to hope to have money to give their loved ones gifts.
00:39:12.000So that's some of the speculation out there.
00:39:14.000You're saying they want the system to crash?
00:39:17.000I believe there is an element that will profit off of the system crashing and they're making protocols and restrictions and mandates that will create a situation that will put us there.
00:39:27.000I do believe that is somewhat done deliberately by the, you know, special interests and powers that do set to gain from hurting everyone else.
00:39:36.000That's part of why I can't stand tradition, man.
00:39:39.000People feel locked into this Thanksgiving-Christmas thing when you could be celebrating with your family anytime.
00:40:23.000Boeing also announced that all employees quote must be vaccinated by December 8th as well.
00:40:29.000Many other corporations are doing this as well.
00:40:31.000But this is all because they're allegedly Biden's federal contractors.
00:40:36.000And this is how again, they're making it so just weird with their mandates with their quote, alleged executive orders, that it's very hard to follow a lot of this.
00:40:51.000I think there's a big agenda to make people feel alone, to make them feel scared, to make them feel like resistance is futile when in many instances it's not.
00:41:26.000Let's go, Brandon, for the mass resignations during a supply shortage, cargo ships being jammed up, trucker shortages, labor, food, gas prices skyrocketing.
00:41:37.000Now 4.3 million people in August quit their jobs.
00:41:40.000I wonder what the numbers for September are.
00:42:13.000They say approximately 4 million people per month have been leaving their jobs since the spring as part of a trend that has become known as the Great Resignation.
00:42:22.000Under Joe Biden's presidency, for some reason, everybody's quitting their jobs.
00:43:24.000That's a lot more friction on an already stressed system.
00:43:27.000That bottleneck is going to back up in a real hurry.
00:43:30.000And the question is going to be, what's it going to take to be able to get out?
00:43:34.000These vaccine mandates, if they are the cause of these resignations, this is going to hit supply chain stuff, and that supply chain stuff is going to get way worse before it gets better.
00:43:44.000And the question becomes, at a certain point, how do you even unload those ports?
00:44:51.000It's because of big fat cat bureaucrats intervening, making the situation that much worse, and not really helping anyone out.
00:44:57.000Especially when you look at the scientific data, and you see direct intervention, mandates, restrictions, lockdowns, and you see places that didn't follow it.
00:45:05.000You look at the cases, you look at the numbers, the hospitalizations, the deaths.
00:45:08.000There's not a big difference there at all.
00:45:11.000And some would argue that the situation has been exacerbated to its fullest extent with the ports.
00:45:17.000There's there's literal ships that are ready to dock.
00:45:20.000They can't because one of their workers tested sick.
00:45:23.000What do many of these boats have to do?
00:46:41.000So again, we talked about his approval numbers, and we said it's probably the Taliban, it's probably the cartel members that are the ones that are saying, we're very happy with what's happening right now.
00:46:52.000Because everyone else is just looking around and I think a lot of people are ashamed that they even voted for Biden.
00:46:57.000I'm not seeing anyone support Joe Biden.
00:46:59.000I'm not seeing anyone make any defenses except for sellouts who get hired to do it.
00:47:05.000Whether it's influencers, actors, they're the only ones publicly supporting them.
00:47:09.000They're having a hard time even pulling that off.
00:47:12.000Now that Joe Biden's approval rating is in the gutter, it is once again punk rock to oppose Joe to support supportive to support Joe Biden. Yes,
00:47:22.000because now most people don't like him.
00:47:24.000So now that most people don't like him, I am, I actually like him. Oh, okay,
00:47:29.000because I'm I'm punk rock. What do you like most about him?
00:49:01.000We're seeing Trump support go up in a lot of key areas.
00:49:03.000I want to correct you a little bit because Biden wasn't running.
00:49:05.000The media was running for Biden and Biden was literally in a basement and they were keeping him there, making sure he wasn't out there to the general public.
00:49:13.000So now the media is even questioning Biden and being like, wait, wait, wait, hold on.
00:49:29.000We're shilling for a guy that literally doesn't even know what's going on, doesn't even know where he is, that literally created one of the worst disasters in geopolitical history with Afghanistan.
00:49:41.000And they're looking around at the utter chaos and devastation.
00:49:44.000And I think even a lot of people in the media are going to have a very hard time shilling for him again in 2024.
00:49:50.000And I don't think he's going to be running.
00:49:51.000I think he's not going to be the candidate.
00:49:54.000It's impossible with the havoc that he is wrecking on the American people.
00:51:02.000And we just pull out the old postmodern analysis of Joe Biden and say, they're not voting for Biden, they're voting for the symbol of what Biden represents.
00:51:10.000They're voting for the media-created image of what Biden would be if he was actually in charge and running things.
00:51:39.000But I would love a comic of the media's version of Joe Biden.
00:51:43.000Like, the Joe Biden that exists in the hearts and minds of the most zealot Democrats, he's like ripped and chiseled with his aviator sunglasses and a leather jacket and he's in a convertible and he's like, get in loser, we're saving America!
00:52:49.000journalist and whistleblowers more than any other president before him with this one particular law
00:52:55.000I forgot the name of it the espionage act the espionage act he's been more than all other
00:52:58.000presidents combined exactly so like there's so many things to talk about the Biden presidency
00:53:04.000and a lot of people have said that a Biden presidency is a continuation of an Obama presidency
00:53:13.000and there might be some merit to that but this would be kind of an unmasked Obama push that
00:53:20.000literally is just the perfect representation of everything globalists ever wanted in the
00:53:25.000It's their epitome of their wet dream when it comes to, when you see what they're able to achieve, A lot of people are saying, oh, it was just a mistake.
00:53:32.000Oh, this is, you know, there's just an accident.
00:53:35.000I think when you're at that high level of government, I think when you have that much money, that much power, I think they play things off as accidents and mistakes, when in reality, a lot of this stuff was deliberate.
00:53:47.000And when you look at whose interest it serves, who it helps, it's usually the people backing these individuals.
00:53:54.000It's usually a lot of the people that are behind the scenes that usually are very influential in governments, but they're the ones that don't get voted on.
00:54:02.000They don't get elected, but they're still there.
00:55:12.000What happens if OSHA does drop this rule?
00:55:14.000Let's say you're a business in Texas, and you're told by the governor, if you mandate vaccines for your employees or customers, we will fine you $1,000 per infraction.
00:55:23.000But then you get the Fed saying, if you don't, we will fine you way more per infraction.
00:55:29.000So do you think this is why the Southwest CEO is saying what he's saying about not liking vaccine mandates or mask mandates or whatever?
00:56:13.000No, the mandate specifically says that individuals are allowed exemptions for religious, personal conscience, or medical reasons.
00:56:21.000So this is what's effectively shutting down the vaccine mandates, that people can just choose not to get them due to personal conscience.
00:56:27.000There's already laws in the book saying you can't discriminate for medical or religious reasons.
00:56:31.000As far as I can tell, and correct me if I'm wrong, Abbott's telling every private company in Texas that they're not allowed to mandate vaccines now.
00:56:38.000Should they be allowed to ban people if they're black?
00:56:59.000So if you need somebody to work in a grocery store, and there are jobs that can be done in a grocery store that someone in a wheelchair can do, should they be allowed to say no wheelchairs allowed?
00:57:17.000Yes, and there's also the ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act.
00:57:21.000So now you've got medical reasons, and we shouldn't have to present our papers to the store to prove... Should a person who's got some kind of... Should someone have to go and prove that they're the right race?
00:57:35.000And they say, oh, you know, I'm not firing you because of your race, because you, I don't even know if that's your real race.
00:57:39.000Should they have to go then go pull up lineage?
00:58:11.000I mean, it's different to me and you because we pay attention, but...
00:58:14.000You know, in the mind of a business owner, who's who's the governor to say who they can and can't?
00:58:19.000That's a different question, because in one case, you're asking about somebody who already has a disease.
00:58:23.000In the second case, you're asking about not whether someone has a disease, but whether or not they've been vaccinated, not whether or not they're sick.
00:58:31.000So in the case of the leprosy thing, you'd say, well, you already have it.
00:58:47.000What I would ask is whether or not, for all the people who are pushing the COVID thing, Could a bar owner say, nobody with STDs is allowed to come to ladies night.
00:59:09.000Or would people be comfortable saying, look, you have to have your vaccine for Hep C before you can come in.
00:59:15.000Would people be comfortable with that?
00:59:17.000For me, the question is, how far can these things get pushed?
00:59:23.000And I understand Vax Passports, I understand why people want them, but the question that no one has been able to ask, to answer for me is, where is the hard and fast line that it stops?
00:59:38.000No one's been able to give me an answer to that, and that's why I'm so skeptical of them.
00:59:42.000Let's talk about this, you know, vaccine that stops STDs.
00:59:46.000The vaccine that stops this hypothetical that we're talking about doesn't stop STDs.
00:59:50.000It doesn't prevent the spread of STDs.
00:59:52.000It doesn't stop people from having STDs as well, on top of all of this, which people need to understand the greater point here.
00:59:58.000So, you know, there's so many different ways that people could take this.
01:00:02.000If we're starting to discriminate against people because of their medical personal choices and decisions, you know, let's first discuss that.
01:00:10.000And even on those merits, whether the, you know, the effectiveness of the vaccine, the transmission of the vaccine, Natural immunity.
01:00:17.000I think that conversation needs to happen in its first place.
01:00:19.000The second thing is, no one should be telling me what to do.
01:00:22.000A government shouldn't be controlling every aspect of my existence because if they could do this with the vaccine, they could do this with almost every other aspect of our existence.
01:00:30.000And Abbott's basically telling business owners what to do.
01:00:33.000He's saying you cannot... He signed an executive order saying that vaccine mandates are not allowed by any entity.
01:00:43.000I disagree because he's standing up for people's civil rights.
01:00:46.000He's standing up for people's personal decisions.
01:00:49.000He's standing up to the current kind of HIPAA laws that are out there that says that people can't be discriminated against and have to divulge their medical history anytime.
01:01:40.000Then you had the social, you know, people fighting for civil rights, specifically saying, public accommodations are shared by all.
01:01:48.000If we're all paying taxes into it, then we should all be able to utilize these services.
01:01:52.000My view of it is, if there is limited space in the commons, And there is a building occupying space in that commons and my tax dollars go towards infrastructure, plumbing, fire, department, EMS, and all that.
01:02:03.000They should not be allowed to discriminate against me or anybody else on specific grounds that of course we need to sort through an outline.
01:02:09.000Now we have outlines, many of them, religious reasons.
01:02:12.000You can't put up a sign saying no Muslims allowed.
01:02:15.000You can't mandate that people eat bacon to enter your store.
01:02:18.000Because that would very seriously... someone walking... I mean, maybe you can, but then if someone who was Muslim walked up and they said, do it, you'd be like, you can't do that.
01:02:25.000That's discrimination on the basis of my religion, and you'd probably get in trouble.
01:02:28.000There's a guy who went to jail for throwing bacon at a mosque.
01:02:31.000So right now, Abbott is basically saying, these mandates just violate so many of our non-discrimination laws.
01:02:42.000If we are paying taxes into it, we are a community.
01:02:44.000To maintain social cohesion, you cannot restrict access to someone on the basis of their medical reasons or religious reasons or personal moral conscious reasons.
01:02:54.000Because personal moral conscience is a broad term.
01:02:57.000But he said that in his executive order because it's basically about religion.
01:03:01.000There's a lot of people who are saying, oh but the Pope said you can get the vaccine even though they use fetal cells to make it in the testing process and it's other vaccines.
01:03:08.000They literally use it and they use it in testing for a bunch of other medicines.
01:03:36.000You mean decades of civil rights work to get laws put on the books through legislation and elected representatives who then voted on it is authoritarianism?
01:03:43.000No, I'm saying him making a decree like this is authoritarianism.
01:03:45.000Making a decree to reinstate, to reaffirm what is already law.
01:03:54.000Desegregating schools was the part of a long process that resulted in a republic having a vote on an issue.
01:04:00.000So, authoritarianism was when everyone just falls in line and adheres to the authority, like the woke cult.
01:04:05.000When people have strong objections and disagreements, and then we say, hey, we all have finally agreed, this is the line, you have to, you can't discriminate.
01:04:15.000And it was through a democratic, representative process.
01:04:21.000Sure, you can argue that people are, oh no, they have to adhere to the authority of the state because we all agreed to it, but there's a big difference between we fought long and hard, we won over hearts and minds, we got our elected representatives put in office, they voted for it, then the Supreme Court upheld it, and now we're at a point where the governor is saying, guys, the law is clear, you can't do this.
01:04:41.000I am not going to allow you to because as the head of the executive branch of my state, I am here to enforce the laws that already exist.
01:05:17.000I don't think this is authoritarianism, Ian.
01:05:20.000I think this is simply him reinforcing the fact that we have civil rights, and that no one should have the right to require someone to get a medical procedure if they don't want it.
01:05:39.000If a bunch of businesses in Texas started banning black people, and then he issued an executive order saying the banning of black people is prohibited, would you call that authoritarianism?
01:05:54.000You know, you can suspend habeas corpus in times of great disease.
01:05:58.000I mean, you maybe can, as obviously you can, but... I don't think it's not about disease, it's about vaccination.
01:06:05.000If this was about, if There's nothing in there that prevents a company from saying, we'd like you to take a rapid antigen COVID test before you enter our business or present a rapid antigen COVID test.
01:08:00.000Florida's doing a similar thing, saying you can't discriminate against someone, you can't force them to do this.
01:08:05.000Especially if they have religious exemptions.
01:08:07.000A judge in New York just upheld religious exemptions for healthcare workers.
01:08:13.000So legalese, right now this is being decided in the high courts and a lot of people are siding with you have a right not to comply with this mandate that they're trying to force on you.
01:08:26.000And this is something that's, you know, imperative.
01:08:29.000This is something that provides people liberties and freedoms that, historically, throughout life, they never really had, ever.
01:08:36.000And now, they're finally given this ability that's slowly being eradicated, slowly being taken away from them, and people are saying, no, this is just absolutely ridiculous, this is over the top, this is draconian, this is totalitarian, and people trying to stand up against it are not using that same kind of force and energy They're trying to stop a lot of that intrusion into our personal lives.
01:09:00.000We have the story from Gothamist actually.
01:09:02.000Courts side with New York health care workers seeking religious exemptions reject vaccine appeal by NYC teachers.
01:09:09.000They report that New York can't stop hospital and nursing home workers from seeking religious exemptions to the state's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
01:09:18.000Requiring workers to get vaccinated without allowing such exemptions conflicts with long-standing federal protections for religious beliefs.
01:09:25.000District Court of the Northern District of New York wrote in his decision, The policy requiring all hospital, nursing, nursing home, and home care staff to get vaccinated against COVID was initially issued under Cuomo.
01:09:56.000Yeah, when you look at the implications of both of these policies, you clearly see one where you have government agents intruding into people's lives, punishing them, taking something away and issuing fines for not going through another hoop that they literally made up.
01:10:15.000It's a very big one, and it has a lot of big implications, because if the government could do this, people could argue, based on health policy, they could also do it to obese people and fat people, because of the same kind of health guidelines for the greater good of everyone.
01:11:53.000This is the company saying, we're not firing you, we're just telling you, like, if you want to be the guy who gets to go to Venezuela, like, yo, you gotta get a yellow fever shot.
01:13:32.000We all are trying to figure out where the line is and what we're willing to accept when we take certain actions.
01:13:36.000When it comes to an airborne Ebola, like people's insides are being liquefied, we're like, yo, we gotta do something about this.
01:13:44.000And if you're looking at a 20% mortality rate and a vaccine that has like a 0.01% risk factor, most people are gonna be like, I'll take it.
01:13:52.000But when you're dealing with, there's one report saying that the risk factor for a boy under 18, there's one study that came out saying the myocarditis was a higher percentage risk than getting COVID itself.
01:14:04.000Some studies showing eight times higher.
01:14:06.000I don't know if that one study is good enough to say definitively.
01:14:10.000That's why I tell people go talk to a doctor and figure it out.
01:14:15.000The point is, when it comes to issues of what we're willing to give up our freedoms for, there's some things I think most people recognize.
01:14:22.000If an alien invasion happened, man, there's a really tough question about what we need to do to rally everyone together to survive.
01:14:29.000If it's like, you know, a series of crimes and it's in one city, why should the people of New York mandate everyone in the country lose their right to bear arms because of the crimes in their city?
01:14:55.000But then there's other people that won't leave their house because they're afraid for their life.
01:15:00.000And so for Abbott to tell everyone in Texas, you can't mandate it, even though they might feel like afraid for their life, is where I was like, well, there's the authoritarian flag.
01:15:11.000I'm just saying, But I think you bring up a good point.
01:15:14.000I think regardless of whether or not there's a severity to the disease, no one should have to give up their freedom for someone else's fear.
01:15:21.000And that means even if there is an airborne Ebola, you can choose to go get vaccinated for it.
01:15:27.000And other people who don't, well, then that's their issue, I suppose.
01:15:30.000And we should be operating on a more, you know, liberty-minded and personal response.
01:15:34.000We need personal responsibility and liberty, even in the face of something like an airborne Ebola.
01:15:38.000Look, man, if there was an airborne Ebola, 50% mortality, people's insides were liquefying, I would go to the mountains.
01:15:45.000Like, I'm not gonna go anywhere near the city.
01:15:46.000I don't think that'll help you escape those kind of things.
01:15:48.000If you ever watched The Stand, you would know.
01:16:13.000Unless people want a great reset, I think at a certain point you need to recognize that we need to strip... Look, ultimately I'll say it like this.
01:16:42.000When we talk about, you know, vaccines like for MMR at schools and stuff, I'm like, yeah, but these are vaccines that have been around, researched for decades.
01:16:50.000They've been around for even longer than that.
01:16:52.000A lot of these vaccines went through very serious and rigorous studies over seriously 20 to 30 years.
01:16:57.000Now, when it comes to the COVID vaccine, Operation Warp Speed, it's one of the fastest projects ever done.
01:17:03.000I don't think, personally, a lot of people think that there's like, you know, the vaccine is dangerous.
01:17:30.000It is a fair point, absolutely, to say the lines between what we're willing to accept are different for everybody.
01:17:36.000And there are some people who are staunchly libertarian, and even if there was an airborne zombie virus, would be like, you cannot force me to do anything, no matter what.
01:17:45.000And there would be other people who were, like, seemingly libertarian before, now being like, at this point, lock everyone in their houses.
01:17:51.000So I think everybody has their line, how much risk you're willing to assume.
01:17:55.000It's a gradient scale, and to make laws as a white or a black or a yes or a no or a one or a zero, that's tough.
01:18:04.000But when it comes to what Abbott is saying, like, I thought about this, I've said this before, I'm like, I don't like the idea that, you know, DeSantis was like, nobody can mandate masks.
01:18:13.000And I'm like, well, that should go through the legislature, right?
01:18:16.000However, You know, masks are different from the vaccine thing.
01:18:19.000The mask thing, I think, is interesting.
01:18:21.000If somebody wants to require a mask in their store, like, what's your justification for saying they can't require shirts, or they can't require shirts?
01:18:29.000It's an irreversible medical procedure.
01:18:31.000And there are people with medical issues over the fetal cell use, and there are people with religious issues over the fetal cell use and medical issues that You can't force it.
01:18:41.000I have religious problems with it, personally.
01:18:44.000It violates everything I hold dear to my spirit.
01:19:47.000The question that I have about the vaccine mandate is if they're going to say, well, you have to have a vaccine mandate.
01:19:52.000Why don't them and come along and say, OK, you have a vaccine or a negative covid test.
01:19:57.000And it's the lack of or a negative covid test that knocks it out for me, because if you said or a negative covid test, that would mean that the mandate was really about covid.
01:20:09.000The fact that there's no or a negative COVID test means they're just wanting everyone to be vaccinated come hell or high water.
01:20:16.000So again, this leaves us in the absurd scenario where someone who has COVID Right.
01:20:21.000but is vaccinated can go into a restaurant and breathe as much as they want.
01:20:27.000And someone who can prove that they don't have COVID is kicked out.
01:21:56.000So then, if he's gonna vote for what he wants, lockdowns, and we're gonna refuse that, I don't know.
01:22:03.000And maybe the real simple solution is if you're scared, you stay home.
01:22:06.000You know, the beauty of the United States is that each state is a, is an experiment.
01:22:11.000And this is an opportunity to watch it happen in Texas and see if that, if I, maybe, maybe I'm misusing authoritarianism.
01:22:18.000I know it's not an extreme authoritative thing, what he did, but this is an opportunity to see if what he's doing works.
01:22:23.000I mean the experiment was there in Sweden, it was there in Florida, it was there in many places around the world that said we're not going to be playing ball.
01:22:30.000There's a lot of other experiments right now happening in places like Norway.
01:22:33.000Just released a lot of their restrictions, their lockdowns, their mandates, masks, all of that.
01:22:39.000So there's so many examples of experiments.
01:22:43.000I always said from the beginning of this, Sweden's going to be the true test of this.
01:22:46.000Because if you remember, They were saying that Sweden's going to end up in a bloodbath.
01:22:50.000There's going to be bodies stacking on top of bodies.
01:22:53.000There's going to be a massacre of unprecedented proportions.
01:22:56.000Everyone's going to die in Sweden because somehow Sweden's not following along with the programming.
01:23:02.000They're not going along what they're told to do by the World Economic Forum, by the World Health Organization, by a lot of these quote experts.
01:23:29.000Walgreens is closing five San Francisco stores due to organized retail crime.
01:23:35.000They say, they give the addresses, I'm not going to read the addresses, but they're going to close five more stores.
01:23:40.000A company spokesperson confirmed Tuesday, citing ongoing organized retail crime as the reason.
01:23:45.000Organized retail crime continues to be a challenge facing retailers across San Francisco, and we are not immune to that.
01:23:50.000Retail theft across our San Francisco stores has continued to increase in the past few months to five times our chain average.
01:23:56.000During this time, to help combat the issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment.
01:24:06.000We also heard Target, I believe it was, is going to change their hours because they can't handle all of the theft.
01:24:12.000There's an interesting conundrum here.
01:24:14.000You've got in New York City, right, AOC, they want to do away with cash bail.
01:24:21.000I think that if someone is accused of a crime, non-violent of course, and they're poor, holding them and demanding cash for them to leave is punishing someone who can't afford it.
01:24:32.000So we're innocent until proven guilty.
01:24:35.000You can't hold me and lock up before you've proven anything.
01:25:05.000Stop taking away their ability to defend themselves.
01:25:07.000You fight back in New York City against someone who is a clear aggressor and attacker, you will be going to jail.
01:25:13.000That's an absolutely absurd law that creates more victims, creates less personal responsibility, and creates a situation where criminals thrive.
01:25:21.000Criminals literally have the carte blanche many times in New York City to do whatever they want because there's many instances of police officers just standing back watching crimes happen Watching people get hurt, and they're saying well.
01:25:34.000I'm having an argument with the government, so I'm just not gonna do anything You know they'll arrest you in two seconds if you got a gun though They'll arrest you in two seconds if you have a political sign in the wrong place and you're saying the wrong message as well.
01:25:45.000So there's been many instances of businesses that got shut down by police officers, by sheriffs, all throughout New York City because they just wanted to have their business open.
01:25:57.000Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter protests, even on Fox News, cops standing around the corner with their arms hugging themselves as businesses are being looted and the cops are just standing there.
01:26:10.000No, I believe in personal responsibility, and if you're going to be incentivizing people to get away with crimes, you should incentivize people to defend themselves and to be able to not be victims of those crimes.
01:26:20.000I guess the theft is a non-violent crime, so it's tough to authorize, like, a store owner to open fire.
01:26:25.000Depends if someone's stealing something right in front of you, right out of your hands.
01:26:28.000I mean, there's an argument to be made here.
01:26:31.000Like, if you're a store owner and they were robbing your shelves, it's not really ethical to fire your weapon at them.
01:26:38.000I struggle with this idea that I have to restrict myself to the amount of force that's being used.
01:26:43.000I mean, I'm not necessarily sure if someone comes into my store and starts taking my things out that, you know, I have to say, restrict myself to in the amount of force I use to put a stop to that.
01:26:53.000For example, I don't think it would be fair to say, well, you're a lot bigger than that guy is, so you'll have to find someone smaller to tackle that thief.
01:27:02.000I don't think that that's a good ethical principle.
01:27:05.000Now, that said, I also don't think that Because what you're saying, this is how it's gonna turn out.
01:27:12.000Someone's gonna be like, stealing a package of lip gloss and some guy's gonna open fire with a shotgun.
01:27:17.000Part of what happens is... I think that's acceptable.
01:27:23.000I'll just say, sorry to interrupt, but if someone is committing a crime in your store, this is one of the things you learn right away when it comes to home defense.
01:27:31.000You had Dave Chappelle, he did that stand-up bit where he's like, birdshot, birdshot, buckshot, birdshot, buckshot, and everyone I talk to says, absolutely not.
01:27:43.000Because you don't know, that person breaking into your house, if you point a weapon at them, they could end you.
01:27:48.000And if someone is in your store committing a crime, and you think, it's just lip gloss, I'll be nice to them, and they pull out a revolver or whatever, There's that video that went viral of the cop, just recently, he's outside taking the guy out of the car, and the dude pulls out a rifle and just starts shooting at him.
01:28:04.000So the difficulty is, I think the point you're making is restricting someone's use of force.
01:28:10.000I certainly think that if somebody is committing a crime, you should be able to use force to stop them, to protect yourself, because you don't know to what extent Right.
01:28:21.000There's no universal answer, but I think it's clear that crime is rising where crime is allowed, where prosecutors aren't going after people, where police officers are looking the other way.
01:28:31.000And I think there's also other societies that are polite societies, that they know a lot of people are armed, a lot of people are willing to defend themselves, and there's an effect knowing that, hey, There's a responsibility here that is known by everyone that if you do cross a certain line, there are ramifications that you will have to pay for those specific lines.
01:28:51.000And I think the more people are able to assert themselves, the less aggressors they would have against them.
01:28:57.000There would be less harm, there would be less violence, there would be less crime, there would be less people hurt overall in the long run than in the current system that we have right now.
01:29:10.000No, the point I'm getting, though, is a big one about institutional trust.
01:29:14.000If you don't trust the cops to enforce the laws, if you think that the cops are actually going to make
01:29:18.000things worse, which is a number of what people from,
01:29:20.000I don't know, Black Lives Matter might argue, that the cops make things worse,
01:29:24.000when that institutional trust in the prosecutorial system, in the jail system, in the police system,
01:29:31.000degrades and erodes and people start removing that away, and the ability for cops to enforce the law goes,
01:29:40.000the incentive structure is such that someone's gonna say, look, I'm gonna run into this store,
01:29:44.000I can just go with my duffel bag and go through the jewelry section and just,
01:29:48.000you know, five or 10 of us will just go in and then walk out.
01:29:51.000And if you're not going to prosecute crimes, say under $1,000 or under $500 because it's not worth it, it incentivizes those crimes because the guy's going to say, well, what are you going to do about it?
01:30:02.000So what needs to happen is you have to be able to bring about a situation where the police are able to enforce the law without abusing the authority given them to enforce the law and that's the difficult point because on the one hand There's an awful lot of people and I think they're I mean, I think I would get some sympathy for me and with this to say man Have you seen how some cops behave when they're enforcing the law the way that they they treat citizens?
01:30:29.000The way people are treated in prisons.
01:30:31.000I mean, it's absolutely abhorrent But if you say, well because of that we're going to take away the cops power to be able to arrest people and we're going to try and reduce people's engagement with law enforcement under those circumstances by taking away police power, all of a sudden
01:30:50.000There's now no incentive for somebody not to rob a store.
01:30:53.000And so I see this as in large part as a function of the destruction of the trust in the institutions that are enforcing justice.
01:31:02.000So now what's happening is that On the one hand, the police were viewed to have gone too far, and in places like San Francisco, Seattle's another one that has a huge problem.
01:31:12.000People said, no, we don't want the police doing that.
01:31:15.000Defund the police, defund the police, defund the police, defund the police, pull the police back.
01:31:19.000We are now seeing the fruit of those seeds beginning to bloom in the disorder and the chaos.
01:31:26.000So, I thought it was an interesting question then, on levels of acceptable authoritarianism, as it were.
01:31:33.000Police are allowed to stop you, detain you, ask you questions, and they make an arrest based on, you know, if they believe you've committed a crime.
01:31:42.000And sometimes they're wrong, and innocent people get locked up.
01:32:17.000If people can't have confidence that in their innocence they will be presumed to be innocent and will have a hope that they will not be falsely accused or imprisoned, then the system has no... they'll have no confidence in the system at all.
01:32:30.000The problem with that is 10,000 people go into Walgreens and rob 500 bucks each and knock the business out, completely destroy the business legally.
01:32:37.000Well, not legally, but unprosecutorily.
01:32:47.000It's like I was saying, I talked about this with gender segregation, and we'll probably get into this in the member segment where we get into this very serious story about Loudoun County, which is very, very gross.
01:32:57.000But the same arguments made today about gender segregation were made about race segregation back in the day.
01:33:03.000We have, men and women have different rooms.
01:33:05.000Oh, they're biologically different and they should have their own spaces if they want to stay safe.
01:33:08.000And a lot of, it's a lot of similar arguments.
01:33:10.000A lot of people reject it saying, oh, come on, the difference between race is marginal and biology is, you know, between men and women is very... I'm not saying one thing or another about any biology.
01:33:20.000I'm saying quite literally the arguments.
01:33:22.000People used to say back in the day that they have race segregation because they're different.
01:34:01.000It's never going to be easy, but at the end of the day, I would argue that less people would be hurt out of that system than they are right now.
01:34:08.000I don't think so, because if you remove the state, Walgreens will hire a militarized army to go over to, you know, Radio Shack and mow everybody down and take the building.
01:34:47.000We don't have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
01:34:48.000We have peace, order, and good government.
01:34:50.000I think that good and effective government is necessary, as we've seen by the shoplifting thing.
01:34:55.000I don't think anyone benefits from saying, well, we're all going to have our own personal security guards at our own stores to combat theft.
01:35:03.000That's that's just not and I I'm gonna upset the libertarians in the crowd, but I also don't think that things like city planning can be done decent in a decentralized way and in a way that's necessarily effective so Planning roads planning sewage Planning electrical grids a lot of this has to be centrally planned It's very difficult to do if not impossible to do in another way, so I don't think that's a solution but I do think that Once you have a state that is not exercising its power judiciously and fairly and properly and competently, once you live in what we're in, in a hyper real fake simulation or simulacra as Tim put it, once you get into that kind of a situation you end up with a scenario where the trust in institutions is broken and so those very institutions that we institute, that we create in order to take care of
01:35:56.000very very important matters are not trusted and people pull back from them
01:36:00.000They they're gonna start stepping outside the the norms that those institutions upheld and those things held
01:36:06.000together so what you end up is you end up with a breakdown of not
01:36:09.000just the Trust of the institutions, but that leads up to a cracking
01:36:13.000of the organizational structure as well What was that movie with Natalie Portman Portman?
01:36:42.000So you're saying when the state gets too grotesque, we need to, or maybe not need to, but we would be good to break it down into an era of no state for a moment as we reform a new state, which is inevitable?
01:36:54.000Well, I think the Jordan Peterson solution is you have to burn off dead wood.
01:36:58.000Haven't you seen the meme of V from V for Vendetta?
01:37:02.000And he's got a headphone with a microphone on it, and he says, your government is doing what?
01:37:07.000Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
01:37:10.000Well, let's go to Super Chats, everybody!
01:37:13.000If you haven't already, my friend, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and go to TimCast.com, become a member, and you'll get access to all of our fun and fancy members-only segments of not just this show, but soon to be, Tales from the Inverted World and a couple more shows working on it.
01:37:28.000As you noticed, we're in a new studio, which means there's an other studio.
01:37:32.000Because we're going to be doing more shows.
01:37:34.000So definitely become a member at TimCast.
01:37:35.000We'll have a special member segment coming up later, but let's read y'all Super Chats.
01:37:40.000All right, YouTube has this fancy little bar that blocked me from reading your name, but I'll read your chat.
01:37:45.000Super Chat says, Hey Tim, you're right about the Globetrotters comparisons.
01:37:48.000Now let's sneaking stack the Washington Generals with some all-star players and win.
01:37:54.000It was, um, I think someone said it the other day that the Republicans are the Washington generals and the Democrats are the Harlem Globetrotters.
01:38:01.000Like, that's, that's like a really great, you know.
01:38:03.000All right, TacticalChiller says, all are welcome in Springwater Village.
01:38:08.000When it hits the fan because nobody wants to see where this globalist plan is heading.
01:38:11.000I'll be starting a new community out at my place.
01:38:14.000160 acre woods in AR with spring water.
01:38:41.000It's going to be a geodesic dome, ideally built from recovered plastic, broken down with mushrooms, pestiolopsis microsporae, into sugar mixed with graphene.
01:38:50.000Then we can 3D print some joints and legs.
01:38:52.000Ian will literally live in graphene and mushrooms.
01:40:00.000quote, if you say you're opposed to the vaccine mandate, but you comply with it, you are not
01:40:04.000opposed to the vaccine mandate. Also, Tim complies with YouTube censorship. I seem to recall hosting
01:40:09.000Alex Jones several times has been banned. I seem to recall hosting Steve Bannon who's been banned.
01:40:13.000I seem to recall hosting Enrique Torrio who is smeared by the media over and over again,
01:40:18.000and he's banned from basically everything.
01:40:20.000And so there's a big difference between, say, like, actively participating in the censorship and actively opposing it.
01:40:27.000If someone says, I hereby oppose this, now let me go to the store to participate in their vaccine mandate to uphold it, versus me being like, no, if we're gonna host these people, we will, and we're gonna create a speakeasy over at TimCast.com.
01:47:09.000So, yeah, so Ryan Long's gonna be doing stand-up, Danny will be doing an opening stand-up routine, and they'll be hanging out with us there because they're awesome, good friends of the show, and we wanted to put on a cool event.
01:47:19.000It is free for all the members, if you're a member, at 25 bucks or more, boom, you sign up, it's right there.
01:47:24.000And then what we're gonna do is tomorrow, assuming we haven't sold out, which we probably will, We're then going to open it up to all members, $10 or more, and here's the plan.
01:47:34.000Day of, there's going to be an open doors for one hour for people to show up who have RSVP'd, you get a plus one, and we'll check membership at the door, and then you come in, you get your wristband, whatever, and I think we're doing two drink tickets.
01:47:54.000After this, in the rare event that we don't actually sell out and fill up, because it's going to be Ryan Long performing.
01:48:01.000I think even if it was just Ryan Long, it would sell out.
01:48:04.000Then we will allow people from the public to come in.
01:48:07.000So what will probably end up happening is we will have, there's 200 available tickets, which means members and a plus one.
01:48:16.000And then, once that fills up, let's say we have 100, you know, 200 people in the venue, if someone says, hey, I can't stick around, I'm leaving, and they leave, then we'll be letting people in, but at that point, if you're, if you haven't, if you aren't a member, you gotta buy a ticket for the event, which I think will be 25 bucks.
01:48:30.000I'm not entirely sure exactly how that's working out.
01:48:33.000But, that being said, over at TimCast.com right now in the members section is the link.
01:48:40.000You need to be $25 or more because that's basically what you got.
01:48:44.000That's why we didn't announce at the beginning of the show to give everybody, you know, sort of a chance to go through and get those tickets.
01:50:06.000I would love if Alex was ever in the neighborhood just to sit down with Ian and just the two of them.
01:50:10.000Yeah, I would party with him every week.
01:50:12.000I would love to work with Alex every week, but he's in Texas and we're up by Harper's Ferry.
01:50:17.000I feel like if it was just Ian and Alex on one members only thing, it would be kind of like when you point a camera at the TV and it creates that recursive loop.
01:51:35.000So probably won't be active until the beginning of next year because we're waiting for our 501c3 status, but it's going to be a fact-checking organization which will fact-check fact-checkers.
01:51:45.000I mean, it's going to be generally fact-checking everybody.
01:51:47.000And that means fact-checkers are news outlets, same as anybody else.
01:51:49.000And we're going to fact-check the reports, but we're also going to be doing ethics checking.
01:51:54.000That means if someone falsely frames something, we're going to give them a strike.
01:51:57.000So when Snope says, did Luke Rydkowski, you know, eat ice cream?
01:52:15.000James O'Keefe had this big story, Pfizer emails, showing that they use fetal tissue in the testing process for the Pfizer vaccine.
01:52:24.000And I said to James, what's going to happen is they're going to come out and fact-check you by saying, Do a viral story from Veritas is, you know, has people
01:52:34.000believing that there's fetal cells in vaccines. False.
01:52:38.000This is fake news. It's not true. There is no fetal tissue in the vaccines.
01:52:43.000When James's story is actually in the testing process, they used fetal cells.
01:53:21.000No, there's a point here that Tim just touched on that's really, really important that I want to just kind of drag over slowly so that people can get it.
01:53:28.000When they're checking for the facts, very often what they don't do, I mean, we joke a little bit about they're checking to see, we make sure we use the facts that they like.
01:53:35.000But there's another thing that they do, and that is when you say such and so,
01:53:43.000because of this and that, you make a point and then you bring up a fact to back it up.
01:53:48.000Instead of checking the fact, whether or not the statement that you said is actually true,
01:53:54.000what they do is they check whether or not they think you took the appropriate angle on the fact.
01:54:00.000So instead of, so you might say, look, we didn't always have an IRS.
01:56:50.000That's very important Let's go Brandon someone super chat I don't know if you came across it that to look up Kaiser Permanente hit by strike votes in California Oregon and I looked it up and according to GV wire I think it was AP More than 24,000 nurses and other health care workers at Kaiser Permanente in California and Oregon have overwhelmingly authorized a strike, threatening to walk out over pay and working conditions strained by the coronavirus.
01:58:45.000However, I don't completely agree with it, but I understand the argument.
01:58:49.000There is certain things we don't expect them to do, and the mask mandate, I don't agree with DeSantis being able to mandate businesses don't allow masks.
01:58:56.000What if he came out and said, no one can wear shirts.
02:00:09.000One of the things I've asked and I've wondered about mask mandates is how much of the mask mandate is because the mask is being employed properly and correctly in an environment which it makes a difference?
02:00:22.000And how much of it is because it makes people feel safe?
02:01:46.000And then we'll ration it off and, you know, no video games.
02:01:49.000I think that the supply line thing is a bigger deal than maybe that we're making it out to be.
02:01:54.000It's not just a lack of goods, but I think that's kind of one of the things that shows people
02:01:58.000what happens when competence steps aside.
02:02:01.000That it's now, oh like there's literally things in my grocery store that I can't get because of decisions that are being made at a very high level that are affecting supply chains.
02:02:32.000Sometimes they might happen, but send those emails.
02:02:37.000We'll make sure somebody gets them as soon as possible and make sure you guys get squared away.
02:02:41.000And if you have any issues, just, we'll make sure we work through it and figure it out.
02:02:46.000And I will say, uh... We'll make sure everybody is fairly taken care of.
02:02:50.000If you emailed tonight saying you're having issues, then we're gonna put you in.
02:02:54.000Like, if you were trying to get a ticket but you couldn't get in and you emailed us about it, we're gonna make sure that... Oh yeah, we'll figure it out.
02:03:00.000Yeah, we're not gonna leave you hanging because the whole point is, we've been trying to do events since March.
02:03:04.000And we got red-taped up, so we decided, you know what, we can't just not do it.
02:03:07.000We need to do something and let's just book a venue and do it and there's a really fun venue we found and they're like yeah cool do whatever and we're gonna do it's gonna be free if you're a member and you RSV show up no and and then you know I mentioned so I'll just do one more time real quick for those that didn't hear it's gonna be in the Harper's Ferry area Go to TimCast.com if you're a $25 member, you will see it there.
02:03:28.000And you can bring a plus one, so if you're a member, then you bring one more person with you.
02:03:33.000We're gonna check memberships at the door.
02:03:35.000Tomorrow, assuming we don't sell out, it will then open up for all $10 members to RSVP, so if you think you can wait for it, by all means you can, but I really do think we only have 200 tickets.
02:03:45.000And then on the day of, as people are leaving, we'll allow members of the public to come in after they purchase a ticket or something like that.
02:03:51.000We've got to figure out the ticket laws and how that works.
02:03:53.000It's not so easy just to have an event, but Ryan Long is going to be performing along with Danny Polishchuk, who is in all of his videos.
02:04:00.000You guys probably know them from their videos.
02:04:02.000We're huge fans, we're good friends, and we're really excited.
02:04:05.000The first person I thought of was like, we've got to get Ryan to come out and do stand-up for everybody.
02:04:27.000Vocal, did you want to shout anything out?
02:04:30.000I'm just want to say like, subscribe, follow the Center for Renewing America on Twitter.
02:04:36.000I'm vocal distance at on Twitter at vocal underscore distance and I talk about postmodernism and critical theory, critical race theory, all that kind of stuff.
02:04:44.000If you're looking for an in to understand that world, hopefully I can help.
