In this week's episode, the boys are joined by special guest Daniel Turner (Power of the Future, Power of the Past) to talk about the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, the Iran deal, and much, much more. Plus, a trip to a new bar, a new restaurant, and a whole lot more.
00:00:12.000Politico finally says the Hunter Biden laptop story is confirmed.
00:00:18.000A reporter's publishing a book where they actually corroborated emails with witnesses that the deals between the Bidens in China and Ukraine and 10% held by H for the big guy.
00:02:24.000For those that don't know what Malort is, it's a Chicago novelty liqueur that apparently people in Chicago, I've never had it, but people in Chicago always tell people not from Chicago to try it because it's kind of a prank on them.
00:02:38.000And the joke is that it's grown from the grass on the side of Interstate 55.
00:04:11.000And you'll get access to exclusive members-only segments of the TimCast IRL podcast, as well as a whole bunch of new content that is in the works.
00:04:37.000Because I don't know if you saw that episode last night, but I have no ability whatsoever to control a conversation when Alex Jones is here, but I asked Phil Labonte from All That Remains, like, Phil, I'm gonna need someone who's strong and capable to control- who can control a conversation, who can take charge in a room, and he's like, you got it.
00:04:51.000And then, when Alex went off, Phil starts laughing, YES!
00:06:04.000I'm not here to revel in a man's problems.
00:06:05.000The problem I have is it's not criticism of an earlier suppression of the story.
00:06:09.000It's criticism of Democratic operatives working in media, working at big tech, suppressing news that would have hurt Joe Biden in the election to a great degree, not because Hunter Biden does drugs, but because the emails showed that 10% will be held by H for the big guy, that there were nefarious deals going on.
00:06:33.000And we don't want a president going into office who has nefarious deals.
00:06:36.000Now, back when Trump was running, they're like, Donald Trump has a secret server communicating with Russia.
00:06:42.000So when their criticism was, we don't want a president entering office who has these ties to foreign interests and is beholden to them and these debts, I'm like, all right, you know, I can accept that to a certain degree.
00:06:51.000Now, it's one thing if you're a businessman like Trump and you have buildings with mortgages all over the world.
00:06:56.000That's like saying we don't want someone who runs international business to be president for the sake that they, just because they run international business.
00:07:02.000Now, to that extent, I will say true in some degree for Joe Biden, But when Joe Biden flies to Ukraine and says, fire the prosecutor, or you're not getting your billion dollar in loans, Joe Biden has no right to leverage the United States providing aid to Ukraine in a conflict with Russia, or potentially there's a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, threatening them, you know, we're going to pull out unless you fire this prosecutor.
00:07:27.000And as Matt Taibbi reported, the prosecutor was investigating BRISMA, where his son was on the board.
00:07:31.000That is dramatically different from Trump having debt in buildings.
00:07:47.000So that would have been dramatically different.
00:07:49.000Now, here we are, what's been happening?
00:07:50.000Economy, inflation's through the roof, border crisis, Afghanistan crisis, domestic agenda's failing, the squad members are, I mean, I'm already at five, squad members are ripping the Democratic Party to shreds, which they've been doing for some time, but now they're pulling funding for the Iron Dome.
00:08:04.000Wow, is the Biden administration completely Unfit.
00:08:14.000is most the 48%. So it's not the majority because it's 48% think he's not even mentally
00:08:21.000stable. Wow. This is where we are. When the meat.
00:08:25.000When the media manipulates and lies on news we knew to be true, that we had already confirmed, that was independently confirmed by people looking at the emails, corroborating it, and they suppress this, this is why you end up with a cult that believes insane things, like the economy is good, and regular people of different political persuasions, like everyone here probably has, you know, different political worldviews, but we can recognize the truth when we see it.
00:08:46.000I think what annoys me the most about this story is the media always is pulling their
00:10:40.000Well, what was the criteria and it seems to be well, I just don't like that person.
00:10:45.000It feels kind of like being in a band that was a one-hit wonder, and being like, you know, I had this big song back in the 80s, because a few years ago I went on the Joe Rogan podcast, and I was talking to Jack Dorsey, and it's like, people bring this up all the time, so that's kind of the point I'm making, but I showed them a tweet from Antifa, where they were like, everyone go to this place at this time to commit violence.
00:11:06.000And I was like, how has this tweet been up for months?
00:11:08.000And the replies to it are getting banned.
00:11:10.000So clearly someone at Twitter sees this, bans replies, but lets that one stay.
00:12:58.000There's no way there's going to be any meaningful legislation to deal with the suppression of our speech on these platforms.
00:13:05.000And the left likes to say, but my private platform, and I'm like, it's an inane argument, okay?
00:13:10.000They have conquered the commons, plus we're locked down in a lot of places, people can't go out, so this is how we're communicating.
00:13:16.000At a certain point, when they control too much, we have antitrust laws, or we come in and we regulate, we do these things, we always do it, we normally do it, because we don't want companies usurping the power of the citizenry and the people, and suppressing the rights of the working class.
00:13:29.000None of that's gonna happen, because there's no way that Republicans and Democrats will agree.
00:13:33.000Even when we had Republicans in 2016-18, they were too stupid to realize what was happening, and now they're all getting banned, and they're all... But those were mostly, like, neocons, you know, Paul Ryan, stuff like that.
00:13:42.000Now what we're seeing is, while the Republicans can't get anything done, Democrats are just cheating.
00:13:46.000They're trying to put immigration reform in a spending bill.
00:13:50.000Joe Biden is just ruling by decree, rubber stamping legislation as executive order, and then it just happens.
00:13:56.000So all I see is, I was reading about decline of civilizations before, and there's a period at which, it's been a while but I can't get into specifics, where you'll start to see autocratic rule because It becomes so dysfunctional that the only way to actually move forward is for a sovereign to decree and say, we have to do this now, otherwise we're doing nothing.
00:14:34.000But then there's the actual story itself, which is, how corrupt is this family?
00:14:39.000I mean, obviously they've got an awful lot of skeletons in their closet.
00:14:43.000And when you've got a sitting vice president who negotiated trade deals and planned for his future, and every president and vice president plans for their future, right?
00:14:52.000I mean, they all know it's not going to last forever.
00:14:54.000But he was using, clearly, the power of government to build himself a very profitable, very lucrative—heck, you saw it in his tax returns, right?
00:15:03.000His last year as vice president, his net wealth was $407,000 that year, and then the year after it was $17-point-something million.
00:15:10.000And you're like, wow, that's a really great profit margin.
00:15:30.000Well, actually, I don't, because he's a deplorable, vile human being.
00:15:36.000brother dies of cancer and within the year you were sleeping with his wife you're leaving your own wife and your children to sleep with your dead brother's wife and then while you're sleeping with your former sister-in-law making your cousins now stepchildren you're sleeping with her sister simultaneously and in top of the sister you impregnate a stripper in alabama You are a scumbag.
00:17:46.000They show when Joe Biden enters the Senate, And then James Biden operates Seasons Change Nightclub with help from unusually generous bank loans.
00:17:55.000In 87, he launches his first presidential campaign.
00:17:58.000So about eight years later, his brother James and Sarah Biden's Lion Hall Group hired to push Washington's agenda of tobacco trial lures for Mississippi.
00:18:06.000So the most important one, in my opinion, is... Let me try and find it.
00:18:38.000Joe Biden is put in charge of the Iraq operation.
00:18:41.000His brother gets contracts for building in Iraq.
00:18:44.000You look at this map put together by Politico, tracking his family's fortunes around him.
00:18:51.000And it's just, come on, it's just so obvious.
00:18:54.000I mean if the government, not the government, if CNN was able to track down through Facebook that old woman who shared a meme about President Trump and knocked on her door to ask her about it, you're gonna tell me the government can't put in some system to say if Chris becomes president Chris's sister can't get a 1.5 billion dollar contract?
00:19:14.000Like all these things were just like oh my gosh we had, there was no safeguards for any of this.
00:19:19.000I mean it's just, it's mind-boggling the level of grift and corruption and scumbaggery it's just it breaks your heart because it makes you think there's no one left but but to the if you were to argue the side of the people the people on the other side of the aisle the people that are really hard to reach they're just gonna say oh that's politics politics yeah that's just how it goes what's the big deal so joe made some money i mean that's just that's how the system works they all do it yeah they all do it they'll do it look at trump yeah i'll tell you
00:19:45.000They'll cite some stories about Trump that are not the same, as I mentioned, or fake.
00:19:51.000And this story from Joe Biden is from 2019.
00:19:54.000It's not like he was running for office and there was a smear piece against him.
00:19:57.000Now, I'm not going to pretend Trump's a saint, but there's a big difference between being some crazy real estate mogul who's got a bunch of buildings around the world and you have debts on them.
00:20:04.000Like, I think it's funny when this story came out where they're like, Trump owes $500 million in debt on his properties.
00:20:33.000But this is this is standard behavior for the media, where they either exacerbate stories that they think are interesting or fascinating or a narrative.
00:20:41.000You could look to we're going to talk about Miss Petito later on.
00:20:44.000There's a narrative they like to push of missing women.
00:21:07.000As you should have, because it is newsworthy.
00:21:09.000But this is where, you know, I think what bothers me about the media, just their level of disgusting behavior, because they push their narrative, is One of the very first things that happened when Trump was sworn into office, and I've followed Media Bias for a while, but this one I thought set the tone for his administration.
00:21:28.000January 20th, 2017, it was 5.30 in the afternoon, hours after, and it was Zeke Miller, on behalf of the White House press pool, who tweeted, President Trump has removed the Martin Luther King bus from the Oval Office.
00:22:42.000You know, the crazy thing is we can see it now and we're shocked by it.
00:22:44.000But imagine the stories you would have read in the paper in the 90s, the 80s, 90s, 2000s, before we had a strong Internet culture that was challenging and fact checking.
00:22:56.000Yeah, look at NBC News during the Trayvon Martin case, right?
00:23:00.000Remember they edited the audio of Zimmerman, and it was like, and he said, he looks like blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah black, and they just clipped it.
00:23:10.000He looks like he's black, and they were like, wow.
00:23:12.000He said something like, he looks like he's up to no good.
00:23:24.000Do you remember when the, on September 11th, when they said they found one of the guy's passports, one of the hijackers passports on the ground outside the wreckage.
00:23:33.000Like it fell out of the airplane and landed on the ground.
00:24:02.000That was like the end of the pre-internet news era, and then the weapons of mass destruction thing.
00:24:06.000Now we kind of have an ability to fact check stuff on our own, but before the first war in Iraq, I wonder how much was going on there that we don't know about.
00:24:14.000I got a really good example for you guys.
00:24:30.000And then he goes on to mention people calling him out, you know, saying that his mental capacity is an issue and it's a Republican game and blah, blah, blah.
00:24:47.000Well, that's not Saying mental capacity, like Crystal Lizzo was challenging, but it does show that most voters think he's not capable of being president.
00:25:28.000And then I'm thinking to myself, so I did a segment on this where I was like, not as much about the fact that Biden can't function properly and everything's collapsing and the country's basically on fire.
00:25:38.000And I was just like, I know the border's screwed up.
00:26:05.000Because we're at a point now where it is uninteresting to people to hear that the President of the United States is viewed as mentally unfit, not mentally stable enough, That we're seeing the catastrophe and the crisis across the country, and we've normalized to it to the point where it's not surprising to hear Americans don't see the president as stable, mentally stable.
00:26:32.000I have a slightly different theory, and I wonder, I was developing this idea while we were talking about the Hunter Biden story.
00:26:38.000So the laptop now is officially correct.
00:27:05.000Yeah, that's a great, that's a great theory.
00:27:08.000You mentioned Jen Psaki today and just again, The spinning of lives.
00:27:12.000What we need is, we need, like, your parents.
00:27:14.000Remember when you would get caught, like, either drunk or late or whatever as a kid, and you tried to tell your mom a story, and she was like, no.
00:27:22.000Like, tell me what the hell actually happened.
00:27:25.000Jen Psaki today, when Peter Doocy asked, so you are asking Europeans to show their COVID passport, but if you cross the border illegally, you don't have to show your COVID passport.
00:27:35.000And she said, well, yes, unlike the Europeans, the illegals are not planning to stay a long time.
00:28:27.000There's one guy in the diplomatic press corps, when I used to work at the State Department in the Bush administration a long, long time ago, and he's still there, Matt Lee, and he is by far the senior most foreign policy journalist.
00:28:39.000And he used to make our lives miserable because I worked in the press office and he was ruthless and he's the only one but again it doesn't get as much attention because it's the foreign policy beat but he will just take them to task and say no no no hang on you just said this you said this yesterday that doesn't make any sense like if you ever watch his exchange he does not By BS.
00:29:00.000It's really the difference between an investigative journalist and a reporter.
00:29:03.000A reporter's gonna say, you lied to him, and I'm just gonna report on the- Or the White House press pool, where they're all just like, oh, Jen Psaki said this, and they type it down.
00:29:10.000We need more investigative journalists in there.
00:29:30.000Because when we look at stories about, you know, like the CNN, Republicans are trying to make it an issue that Biden's not mentally... Republicans pounce!
00:29:45.000When I did the Russell Brand podcast and was talking about Civil War, And I just went to town as fast as I could on all the different points about like street fighting, January 6, all that stuff, and psychological warfare, fifth generational warfare.
00:29:59.000And the comments were like, Tim Pool is a leftist.
00:30:16.000There was this researcher who did this thing on YouTube years ago, where he was tracking the political persuasions of YouTube recommendations.
00:30:25.000And he was doing it because of this idea of the rabbit hole that they kept pushing.
00:30:28.000And so he had, I think he basically had four categories, left, center, right, and exclusively critical of left.
00:30:36.000And he initially put people like me and Dave Rubin in the category of exclusively critical of left.
00:30:41.000And so I talked to him and I pointed out like why is that the case when I do express my opinions that are I think the real issue was we are taught we are complaining about Democrats.
00:30:56.000So if I said something like, hey, a Green New Deal that actually rebuilds infrastructure is a good thing, but the Democrats are pushing some weird socialist garbage about Universal College, that's not a Green New Deal.
00:31:05.000He's like, you're just criticizing the left.
00:31:06.000I'm like, I'm literally supporting a leftist policy.
00:31:09.000But either the left was in favor of critical race theory, centrists were like mixed on it, and the right opposed it.
00:31:15.000So if you opposed critical race theory, you were just called a critical of left.
00:31:19.000I'm like, that's how people, even researchers, view what's happening right now.
00:31:24.000And I'm like, isn't it perhaps you're a centrist then?
00:31:33.000If a right-wing dude stands next to a left-wing dude, the left-wing dude is called right-wing.
00:31:38.000If a right-wing dude is hanging out with Antifa and they're all waving Antifa flags and he's got his arms around their shoulders with his thumbs up, they will say they're actually secret right-wingers.
00:31:49.000When I get into conversations with people, one of my favorite things to say is, OK, so you hear about the right wing a lot.
00:31:54.000The right wing is obviously a problem in your view, right?
00:32:47.000Everything, and throw it on a 4,000, and that's where we are, 4,000 page, $3.5 trillion, we will vote on it on Christmas Eve at 9 o'clock at night, and that's what we do, because all of these things, if they stood on their own, I don't want to get judged on that, so we throw them all in this crap sandwich, and we call it like the For the Children of Tomorrow Holding Hands Across America Bill, and then they're like, and if you don't vote for this, Chris, you hate the troops, and they're like, and you hate America!
00:33:12.000And it's like, I just want to vote on the water bottle!
00:33:38.000Actually, I don't know if I agree with that necessarily.
00:33:40.000We don't want weird But I get your point.
00:33:43.000But why are we giving our money away for ridiculous things like this?
00:33:47.000More importantly, when I see that, I'm like, Rand Paul, if you're listening, can you just write something very simple saying, and we abolish the Federal Reserve and just slide it in there?
00:34:21.000When they have power, they violate the rules left and right.
00:34:24.000But when we get power, we don't play by their rules.
00:34:26.000Now there's a growing movement on the right, I would say it's led by a guy named Jesse Kelly, There is a growing movement of the right that says, when we get power, we will double down on that.
00:34:35.000Because that is now what he is calling the new right.
00:34:38.000When we get power, look, they're trying to not abolish the filibuster.
00:34:42.000And people like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, a senator from Arizona, we're not going to abolish the filibuster.
00:35:43.000The only way Lawrence Douglas is able to convince people of this stuff is by omitting key information.
00:35:48.000Notably, that it is not about replacing a justice in election year.
00:35:53.000Mitch McConnell was specifically talking about, if you do not control the Senate, they will not confirm your appointee and we would be wasting our time by having everyone sit around and then vote no.
00:36:03.000Republicans are not going to approve Garland for you.
00:40:21.000I would just like to go back to single-issue votes like the water bottle.
00:40:24.000I can't understand why we can't get people in Congress who will say, this is the bill, and it's a page and a half, and here's how much it costs, and it goes through the appropriate committee, and it goes through markup, and it makes it to... Instead we get these monster, monster, monster We don't even do the appropriation process right.
00:40:43.000And that's why people like Joe Biden's brother get $1.5 trillion contracts.
00:40:48.000It's rolled up into the Defense Reauthorization Act and no one knows where it is.
00:42:39.000I think in the real world, the reality is that the information is circulating faster and faster.
00:42:46.000So the analogy I love the most is, imagine it's, you know, the Revolutionary Era and the Founding Fathers are like, We declare independence!
00:42:56.000And they fold up the letter and they pour the wax on it and stamp it and they hand it to the carrier who rides on horseback to the boat, who puts it on the boat, who then gets the boat on the water for three months to make it back to the King of England.
00:43:08.000And then in that three months after you send the letter, you're sitting there, you're working the crops or you're having meetings and discussions about independence.
00:43:15.000And then, the king, the boat finally lands, it takes a few days to make it to the, from the port to the, to the, to the, to the king, and to parliament, and then the king reads it, and says, he had, and then he drafts a letter, and he says, I reject this, we're sending in troops, and then three months after that...
00:43:32.000You would say, we're gonna have a policy position.
00:43:35.000How many times, like, if they were actually gonna go to D.C.
00:43:37.000and actually have a vote, they had to physically go there, they'd have discussions, and they weren't hearing all of this stuff all over the place.
00:43:43.000Like, if you lived in Virginia, and then someone came down from New York, you were hearing things for the first time.
00:44:01.000It was a reconstruction era, and he has newspapers from different cities, and he travels around the South with old newspapers, charging people a dime so they can sit down as he reads the news.
00:44:16.000What happens is, someone goes on Twitter and says, abolish the police, and then someone else says, I agree, AOC, why aren't you abolishing the police?
00:44:22.000And literally within like 10 minutes, she's like, I as a representative think we should abolish the police.
00:44:27.000I'm not saying literally, I'm saying as an example.
00:44:29.000So we're moving instantaneously, and then because she can't get it done in a session, because we're still using this old system of like, you know, Ian you're probably like this, we're meeting in person instead of doing things digitally.
00:44:42.000Then people demand, if we can all see the problem, why can't we click a button and fix it?
00:44:49.000And then when it's not getting done, they say, let's just bypass the rules of the legislature.
00:44:53.000Joe Biden says, let me just rule by executive order and bypass the Supreme Court, which told me what I'm doing is illegal, but I don't care, I'll do it anyway.
00:45:00.000Because we demand instant satisfaction.
00:46:25.000It's back in the, uh, let's, let's say, you know, 1800s at some point, early 1800s, and someone from Virginia goes to Congress and someone from New York comes down and says, we had a damn breach.
00:46:35.000And he says that I represent Virginia.
00:47:34.000You'll love it when you announce your re-election, or when you announce your election, or a wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
00:47:40.000And then all of a sudden, somebody in Virginia who doesn't care about New York says, I'm in favor of the Clean Water Usurption Act, the Theft of Water Act.
00:47:49.000I think it would be great if we could share the water with the country.
00:47:53.000And it's really just, you're bought and paid for.
00:47:55.000George Carlin, I think it was, he said we should put the patches all over their suits so we know who's sponsoring them.
00:48:03.000I don't think I will ever run for office.
00:48:05.000I just wish those who represented their areas had so much more pride and sense of ownership and sense of responsibility and sense of territorialness so that if another senator or congressperson was trying to pass laws or whatever about my area, the response is like, no, no, no, this is turf warfare.
00:48:23.000You know, and it just bothers me that everyone thinks they are the senator of the country.
00:50:33.000And they do recommend you get your concealed carry permit, meaning you take the test, you get approved and all that stuff because it does benefit you.
00:50:38.000That is your background check, so you don't have to go through NICS anymore.
00:50:44.000People in West Virginia live in a very different world from people in New York City and Chicago.
00:50:48.000So when you see national-level politicians, like basically what we were just talking about is that there are senators and there are congresspeople for the nation.
00:50:56.000They actually literally represent one state or one district, but they fundraise off of everyone in the world.
00:51:01.000So for those that missed the previous segment, we're basically saying like some guy in Virginia back in the day would go to DC, hear about a dam breaking in New York State, and be like, I represent West Virginia, I didn't hear anything about this, I don't know.
00:51:13.000Nowadays, you'll get big corporations trying to get votes to crush New York state law by getting a federal law to like supersede it or by getting support from other places.
00:51:35.000I can tell you what it was like living there.
00:51:37.000It doesn't make sense for you to pass a law based on Chicago's problems on West Virginia.
00:51:42.000Because in West Virginia, their crime went down when they told everybody, feel free to carry a weapon around.
00:51:47.000And the example I always give people when they're like, you know, uh, we, we obviously, you know, uh, we have different properties here for Timcast.
00:51:54.000And there are people who, you know, come from cities and they're worried about guns and stuff.
00:52:31.000People would put basketball hoops up to the street, they would play, and when a car comes, car, and they'd move.
00:52:36.000In Chicago, we would skate in the street, and when a car would come, car, and we'd move.
00:52:40.000Imagine looking at this gigantic mass of metal hurtling at you at 35 to 40 miles an hour or whatever, depending on what part of the city you're in, and then freezing up and going, there are cars everywhere!
00:52:58.000And I don't think a guy who's got a gun is going to pull out and just start shooting randomly.
00:53:01.000But there are people who live in cities who feel this way, and all of a sudden now they're using the weight of the federal government to go after states where it makes no sense.
00:53:08.000This is one of the biggest problems we're facing right now.
00:53:10.000And it's why even Sarah Silverman, in my opinion, is saying peaceful divorce.
00:53:14.000Because if we're at a point where you've got Democrats being like, we would like to pass laws for New York, but for the country, that makes no sense.
00:53:57.000You're going to be voting on cleaning up Afghanistan or coming back and cleaning up Syria.
00:54:02.000You want to change those issues, you vote for local politicians.
00:54:05.000What happens now is people are running for office on local issues nationally, And then they're saying, we've got a gun problem in Chicago, so we should ban guns.
00:54:16.000Do you think that these politicians and lawmakers started off as people that had local pride, and then they just got corrupted as they got involved in the process?
00:54:23.000Or do you think that they were just chills from the beginning to some extent?
00:54:26.000I think Kirsten Gillibrand is a great example of that.
00:54:30.000She was a congresswoman from upstate New York, moderate Democrat.
00:54:36.000Hillary Clinton moved on, her seat was vacant, and she got the job, and now Kirsten Gillibrand is as left-wing as Chuck Schumer.
00:56:19.000Look at the high-speed rail and no combustion engine.
00:56:23.000That is written by someone who thinks like a girl, AOC, who has only known the city.
00:56:30.000She is not thinking of someone who is from rural West Virginia.
00:56:33.000So she says, well, we'll just get rid of the combustion engine.
00:56:36.000And you say, well, in Alaska, a lot of people, like a lot of people have a little tiny airplane because that's how they get to the grocery store.
00:56:44.000Like it is not uncommon to jump in your little tiny plane and they buy planes for what you buy SUVs.
00:56:52.000I think I read somewhere that if we shut down all fossil fuel production within this year, you'd get like 60 million dead within a few months.
00:56:55.000they land they go to the grocery. Ban the combustion engine?
00:56:59.000I think I read somewhere that if we shut down oil, all fossil fuel production within this
00:57:03.000year you'd get like 60 million dead within a few months.
00:57:32.000It's a it's an energy requirement for standing this level of yeah, and they have no they have no idea how farming works how ranching works a manufacturer so they will say something like the PETA folks or the whatever folks like this is cruel what you do to animals and could we and should we treat animals humanely as we absolutely we should and we should always strive to be better but the thing is that you live in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and you think food is going to Whole Foods and buying stuff in a package and you have no idea what it took to get that thing look at this this this is water in a plastic bottle that was this is not possible but for fossil fuels
00:58:10.000I was talking to someone during the lockdown, and I mentioned something like, if we shut down the economy, how eventually we're going to run out of food at the stores.
00:58:26.000And I had someone who was pro, like a UBI guy, say, what are you talking about?
00:58:29.000We can just go to the store to get food when we need it.
00:58:32.000And then I said, if we do UBI, and people don't work and don't make stuff, and people aren't farming, then where will the food come from?
00:58:41.000And they're like, the store, what do you mean?
00:58:48.000And I'm like, there are people who are literally sitting there thinking that, like, one day, like, a little loaf of bread just appears on the shelf and slowly starts growing.
00:59:09.000We took the Iowa basics and I got not been the 99th percentile.
00:59:13.000So I was like, okay, I guess we all got in the 99th percentile because that's the easiest thing that just there's that's much question stuff.
00:59:18.000They already told me, but that's just not how society works.
00:59:29.000And when people are looking at why food prices are going up, and COVID has a lot to do with that, oil prices has a lot to do with that, inflation, but as you were saying with this guy who doesn't know where food comes from, we paid so much.
00:59:40.000And working in a slaughtering house is not glorious work, right?
00:59:46.000I'm sure it pays okay, but you know, it's not that, you're not going to make a huge living.
00:59:51.000It employs a lot of ex-convicts, right?
00:59:53.000It employs a lot of people with records because you're slaughtering cows.
00:59:57.000And I know this having talked to people who do this, who own these companies for a living, and they were making more to stay home the last year and a half with COVID.
01:00:05.000And so now you are bringing in beef that is not getting processed that we're throwing in the garbage.
01:00:10.000I have a friend who has five barns and each one of them has 75,000 little baby chicks that they raise to a certain size.
01:00:19.000And then the Tysons or companies like that come and take them off and they process the chickens.
01:00:23.000And that's why there's always chickens in the grocery store.
01:00:26.000But because of COVID, that was all shut down and the chickens got too big.
01:00:29.000And all of the machines that process chickens, the chicken has to be this big or this big.
01:00:35.000And now the chicken grew an extra two months.
01:01:02.000I want to talk about cascade... I want to talk about economic cascade failure.
01:01:08.000So you may have seen these stories over the past few months of people putting up signs saying, we all quit, right?
01:01:13.000You were just mentioning that for the past year or so, people were getting paid more not to work, so why would they work?
01:01:18.000I think that plays a role in people not working.
01:01:20.000So what happens is, we had a story recently, another one, where it's like, sign appears on a restaurant, we've been working for a month straight with no days off, there's not enough people here, so we all quit, sorry for the inconvenience.
01:01:30.000When you have a restaurant with 10 people, and that allows you to have rotating shifts of part-time workers, people get their days off.
01:01:37.000When three of them end up quitting for whatever reason, leaving for whatever reason, and now you have substantially less staff, people have to pick up shifts.
01:01:47.000Then you say, look, we have no one else.
01:01:55.000It's a cascade failure where the more people who quit, the more people will quit, meaning more people will quit.
01:02:03.000So even though we've ended the COVID unemployment benefits, you ever have like a drain, like a thing of water and you're like draining the tub and you swirl it with your finger for fun to make that spiral?
01:02:13.000That's what the Democratic establishment, the governors, and many Republicans did.
01:02:17.000They decided that as the economy was being shuttered, they would swirl the water as fast as they could to try and kickstart that little whirlpool to kick off.
01:02:26.000As soon as they got a certain amount of people to quit, it's ignition.
01:02:30.000A better way to put it is, they had the stick in the wood, and they were doing that little thing to get the stick to friction, and they were like, we just need ignition.
01:02:36.000Once we get to the point where we generate enough friction for the business, people will quit.
01:02:40.000Once people keep quitting, it becomes a self-sustaining collapse, a cascade failure of economics.
01:03:28.000Actually on the drive here they were already talking on the news about they have noticed an increase in hoarding tendencies again at big box stores.
01:04:27.000So look, I highlight this just to show, when they set policies in motion that create a cascade failure or collapse, This is just another example of the absurdity of the rules that make no sense that will just cause people to lose their minds.
01:04:44.000COVID doesn't live out in the environment for very long.
01:04:54.000Just whatever it takes to make people go crazy and burn it down.
01:04:57.000Middle-class people seeing the price... we went to the store the other day.
01:05:01.000We were like, we want to get some charcuterie, some meats and cheeses.
01:05:03.000We had the shopping cart maybe about 20% full and it was $400.
01:05:09.000I get it, you know, cheese and meat can be costly, but a year ago,
01:05:13.000we filled up a whole cart including our standard selection of meats and cheeses.
01:05:18.000We're not buying, like, fancy, you know, French imported meats, like a regular salami and stuff.
01:05:22.000We would fill up the whole cart for 400 bucks.
01:05:24.000I remember a year ago, we filled up the cart, and we had, like, beans and rice and meat and cheese and milk, and I was like, wow, 400 for this?
01:06:12.000And so I asked, I was like, how do you have none?
01:06:14.000And they were like, it just doesn't come in.
01:06:15.000And I'm like, yeah, but you got cheese and ice cream.
01:06:18.000And they were like, I guess, you know, they're prioritizing, they're not prioritizing the heavy cream because it's like a special use case.
01:06:24.000How many, how much, like, come on, if you go to the store and you want something with cream, you're going to get milk, you're going to get cheese, you're going to get yogurt, you're going to get ice cream.
01:06:32.000Heavy whipping cream is probably one of the last things people get.
01:06:35.000And not everybody puts cream in their coffee like that.
01:06:37.000But when you're doing keto, you know, things like that, you're like, you want to use fresh heavy cream, less sugars, less, you know, milk particles and stuff.
01:06:45.000So we had to go to a different store and we found a crummier version that spoiled much faster.
01:06:50.000But that's something that really freaked me out because aside from the cream, were these little stars they put up everywhere that said $500 sign-on bonus all over the store.
01:07:17.000But I'm like, I just want fresh cream.
01:07:18.000Like, I want to eat healthy and have...
01:07:21.000I guess if you were to ask someone what they were going to buy first, they'd be like, I'll take the ready whip, you know, whipped cream bottle over the fresh cream.
01:07:38.000I'm like, we like the good organic stuff.
01:07:40.000I mean, we've been doing this as a country for, you could argue, almost 400 years or not as a country, but as people on this land, our economy got to a stage of so well-oiled, so supply-line genius, so it is really Adam Smith in operations.
01:08:00.000You know, there's always that expression, or a running joke in the economic world of how many Chinese restaurants can you have on one block in New York City?
01:08:09.000And the answer is, As many as the market allows, right?
01:08:11.000Like there is no rule, like we got to the point that yeah, you could get your heavy cream, your fresh whipping cream without even thinking about it because all these literally millions of invisible hands were all working together making things happen and all we needed was just this one big government that thought they knew better for your own good.
01:08:31.000And we're never, it's gonna take a Another five years to recover from this.
01:08:36.000I feel like we're in the Rat Utopia experiment.
01:08:56.000The rat experiment, that's the hope experiment.
01:08:58.000But the rat utopia was that he created a space, put the rats in it, gave them unlimited food
01:09:01.000and water and said, do whatever you want.
01:09:03.000And eventually they just went nuts, started killing each other.
01:09:10.000There was one group called the Beautiful Ones that would just groom themselves and do nothing else.
01:09:14.000They would all huddle in the same place.
01:09:15.000Just behavior became very, very weird.
01:09:18.000So what you're bringing up now, because I know we mentioned the experiment stuff quite a bit, but the point I'm trying to make is the idea that I'm put out over the fact I can't snap my fingers and get my cream, it's kind of insane, isn't it?
01:09:30.000How about, back in the day, you had to actually go find a cream salesperson, or a farmer who had a dairy farm, and you'd be like spending a few days, or you'd know who the one person was who had it, and you'd be like, you know, oh hey honey, Jim says we should be ready to pick up our supply of cream, you know, in three days when it's ready.
01:09:50.000And you just couldn't get it because it didn't exist.
01:09:52.000Now we're so used to everything at our fingertips.
01:09:55.000having an overabundance of food and unlimited supply of ridiculous things like cream of all things
01:09:59.000and sugar candies and unlimited water and we are living in that utopia and that is the problem that
01:10:06.000unfolds a lot of the the hyperbolic social ills that the left likes to say are dividing this
01:10:11.000country you know systemic racism and and militants misogyny and sexism and the response often is we
01:10:19.000live in the not to say that there are not ills in society we live in the time of such privilege
01:10:25.000henry the eighth could not have imagined a more opulent lifestyle i know i mean you just look
01:10:29.000at how many pillow options you have yeah you know like just one promo code poso like the
01:10:39.000The level of privilege we have, the American poor, and this is another thing if you do any international travel, especially to developing countries or like real poverty, impoverished countries, which I have, Our poor have better quality of life than the vast majority, than literally half the world's population.
01:10:59.000Not to say that we shouldn't make our poor more prosperous or allow them to become more prosperous, but the level of prosperity and opulence and comfort we have is almost sickening.
01:11:12.000And, uh, I walked in and you get to the, like, there's a bunch of the, you know, doors and it's like, you get to the middle and there's the three stories.
01:11:19.000So you've got two stories, but that is an even higher dome of glass.
01:11:22.000And I was like, man, if you took someone from like the 1500s and brought them in, they would be like, for what God have you created this palace?
01:11:31.000I'm like, no, I'm just buying sneakers.
01:11:34.000I wanted to get an ice cream while I was here.
01:11:38.000Look at, I tweeted this the other day, look at, go to the grocery store and look at how many orange juice options you have based upon your tolerance of pulp.
01:11:47.000And the people who are like, oh, I don't drink pulp.
01:11:50.000It's like, you think we're going to abolish fossil fuels?
01:11:52.000It's like, I only do grovestand, no pulp.
01:11:56.000And no, we're never going to abolish fossil fuels because your lifestyle dictates that.
01:12:05.000This is one of the things we talked about with Alex Jones the other day was, I think we talked about it on the show, the chicken analogy I like to use.
01:12:13.000I don't know if it was on the bonus segment, so we'll tell you the story and then I like to hear your thoughts on this.
01:12:19.000So, you know, Alex likes to talk about the globalists and depopulation and the one world and all this stuff.
01:12:27.000And I said, you know, what if it's true that we're overpopulating and like yeast in a bottle, we're consuming the sugars and farting ourselves to death.
01:12:35.000And so when we talk about any kind of these conspiracies, here's what I say.
01:12:40.000Imagine you have 10 chickens and chickens like to take dumps in their water, you know, firsthand.
01:12:44.000Every morning when I clean out the water, I'm like, why do you keep doing this?
01:12:48.000I've hung it from string, I've put it on blocks, I've made it so to the point that all you can do is put your beak in
01:12:56.000it and they find a way to climb on top and turn around.
01:13:28.000Not the ones that keep crapping in their water.
01:13:31.000So I bring that up because you talk about the activists, the environmentalists, the ban fossil fuels and climate change and all that stuff.
01:13:39.000Those are the people in cities who are the chickens crapping in their own water.
01:13:43.000While they're being told to stop doing it and they keep doing it.
01:13:46.000At a certain point, someone's going to be like, I'm not going to choose to put resources into those communities that keep crapping in their water and destroying everything.
01:13:53.000I would rather invest in communities that are more self-sustaining.
01:13:57.000So it's like you were saying, these people are saying, I want to ban all fossil fuels, but I need 17 variety of orange juice based on my pulp consumption.
01:14:14.000Suburbs are becoming, which is why there is a big push to end suburbia.
01:14:17.000Heck, Gavin Newsom, the day after he won re-election, changed zoning laws in California to ban single-house dwelling zoning laws.
01:14:25.000So neighborhoods that you could only build a single-family house, that's no longer gone because they have to get rid of that shift. They need people concentrated in the cities
01:14:34.000because that concentrates their power.
01:14:35.000But people who are able to, a lot of them are going to other states or just like I did, left,
01:14:41.000I mean, 18 years in New York, 20 years in D.C. and now I live in the middle of the country because
01:14:47.000I wanted to get the hell away from those policies. You want to be an environmentalist?
01:14:56.000I mean, look, if you've got a septic system, in a lot of ways they're very self-sufficient.
01:15:00.000You do have to get them pumped, but done right, that the bacteria can take care of things for you, plus you get well water, you can get some kind of, you can get renewable energy sources to offset your energy costs, and even remove yourself from the grid.
01:15:13.000Yet you go to these cities, and they're the most wasteful.
01:15:16.000They like the air conditioning costs for some of these cities is so absolutely insane because they're completely inefficient.
01:15:23.000And I don't know if you guys have been in New York.
01:15:25.000You ever see those big nitrogen tanks they have where they're blasting nitrogen underground and the vapor is coming up from the ground?
01:15:32.000What I was told and I fact check man this one because I did this was just scuttlebutt I heard from like a local guy in New York.
01:15:38.000Is that the underground cable infrastructure is so old, it's overheating and melting.
01:15:43.000So they just wheel in big tanks of nitrogen to blast.
01:15:47.000And they blast it to cool the cable so they don't melt.
01:15:51.000You've got infrastructure so old and decayed that we are wasting ridiculous amounts of energy to sustain this system and we keep building on top of it.
01:15:59.000Those are the people that are voting nationally to implement rules on West Virginians who have like very little carbon footprint and tend to their own chickens and goats and grow their own corn or whatever.
01:16:10.000They're the people who will, and I know friends who have done this and I do make fun of them so I apologize if anyone listening is that person, they are the people who will Postmates a bagel at 9am to their house.
01:16:22.000And they will talk about sustainability and you said you know how many fossil fuels you just how much waste there is that you couldn't either walk yourself or just you didn't buy bread and make your own little toaster not only that but I really wanted they have really good bagels in this one place and they will spend eight I know people who have spent up to $18 for like a bagel with cream cheese Because that's just what they wanted for breakfast.
01:16:43.000So it's like you're gonna abolish fossil fuels It's like Wall-E, you know, the big fat people sitting in the chairs.
01:16:51.000I know the story about postmating the bagels, man.
01:16:54.000I've seen in New York people being like, I've ordered a tea.
01:17:24.000Maybe we're, what, 20 years away from all that being automatic, but as of now, we still
01:17:28.000need, actually, it seems like we need the Uber world.
01:17:31.000We need a growing, unskilled labor, which is the, not pejorative sense, I mean it in the economic sense, unskilled labor workforce.
01:17:39.000And why are we importing tens of thousands of them every month?
01:17:42.000Because that keeps part of that economy going, and people like it.
01:17:46.000I'm thinking about human behavior, and you mentioning, like, maybe we'll get to the point of the AI making the bagel or whatever.
01:17:51.000In Star Trek, you know, Captain Picard goes, T, Earl, computer, T, Earl Grey, hot, and then it just appears in front of him.
01:17:58.000I wonder about what humans would do if we had access to that stuff.
01:18:02.000I think people would gorge themselves to death.
01:18:04.000I think it would, so I think there's a lot of people in this country that have the ability to eat whatever they want, whenever they want, because they have access to enough resources to do so.
01:18:12.000And I don't even mean that much money.
01:18:14.000Somebody makes, you know, mid five figures and they decide to use their access cash to just eat, eat, eat, eat, eat.
01:18:20.000But there's a lot of people who don't have the money to spend to do that, and so they end up thinner simply by virtue of not having the ability to buy the food.
01:18:29.000What if everybody had the ability to walk up to something and just be like, entire cheesecake, caramel on top, extra whipped cream, pumpkin spice.
01:18:37.000and you could just keep doing it and they would gorge themselves.
01:18:39.000I wonder if people would just, if they really did have that kind of level of technology,
01:18:43.000if we reduced the cost to near zero or did a UBI and we had AI producing everything,
01:20:09.000Now, I know what my tastes are, and I don't know what I would ask for, but I like to think that by the third day, I'd be like, well, I'm not going to have dessert again.
01:23:34.000I think you'd be curious to see if people would gorge themselves, if they were given unlimited options.
01:23:40.000The question is, does the human individual have the ability to regulate itself, or is it, again, we're back to Locke and Hobbes, or is it the society that regulates you?
01:23:50.000Is it you looking at me when we have 2 p.m.
01:23:53.000check-in that you're like, whoa, Turner, you got a little chunky there.
01:23:56.000Am I not eating because I see that you see that I got fat, or am I not doing it because of my own self-awareness?
01:25:23.000I wanna get a big, huge, maybe like 50-gallon food thing.
01:25:27.000That we just fill up, and they just eat the food, and the food comes down, and they keep eating it.
01:25:31.000I think it doesn't spoil as long as it stays dry, right?
01:25:33.000Yeah, I've, my chickens, I have every now and then gone out, and there's still food in their bowls, cause they're just, they like to peck at the grass, and they like to peck at bugs.
01:25:42.000I don't see them eating to the point that the food is gone.
01:25:47.000But the point is, if we give chickens access to unlimited food and water, and they keep having babies, will it turn out like the rat utopia?
01:25:55.000Will chickens, as a different kind of animal, have a different... ZW or something?
01:26:12.000Even your three chickens that are too small to be in the public but are a little too big, they want out because their space is getting small.
01:26:20.000So yeah, if their space is limited, they'll start getting crazy when they get on top of each other.
01:27:17.000Yeah, people keep trying to go higher, but you're still Yeah, you're still stuck.
01:27:21.000Yeah, if we could somehow remove that from the study.
01:27:24.000That'd be interesting study Might not be any social issues at that point.
01:27:28.000I have tried to convince people as you know, I'm About two hours outside of DC and I've had a lot of friends come for the weekend and they talk about how it's Almost therapeutic, right?
01:27:39.000I think I think one of the biggest problems with DC or New York or any city is that many people never get a chance to not live in that environment.
01:27:47.000When I think of New York, I think of gray, like looking through gray air because it's so dirty from the I just imagine the grayness of that city.
01:33:33.000We're actually planning on doing, uh, we have portraits of all of our guests and creating digital NFTs of all of the portraits from all of our guests.
01:33:47.000We've got like, I didn't see, we have an Alex Jones one though, I'm pretty sure.
01:33:51.000We have an Alex Jones one, we have Polaroids that we take, and it's really an opportunity to create lots of crazy little bits of art and then just sell them, you know?
01:33:58.000But basically, I was explaining to somebody how revolutionary an NFT is.
01:34:03.000So when it came to cryptocurrency, cryptocurrencies for the most part are fungible.
01:34:08.000Back in the day of the internet, you wrote a song.
01:35:43.000I mean, if I was really a coward, why wouldn't I just do, like, political consulting for big networks where I can tell them, like, here's how you build a big network.
01:35:53.000Why should I challenge the establishment and put a risk on my neck?
01:35:56.000I'll tell you what, if I wanted to work as hard as I do, why wouldn't I just make, I don't know, like a Minecraft channel?
01:36:02.000Why bother getting involved in the culture war and Defending liberty and freedom and critical thought, there are a lot of people who would prefer to chop the tree down today so that they may have a comfortable chair to sit in tomorrow.
01:36:18.000And there are a lot of people that would plant a tree whose shade they know they will never sit beneath so that their children will have a beautiful tree with fruit and shade.
01:38:48.000We try to make sure anything we talk about on this show is true and honest opinions.
01:38:53.000But if we're going to talk about certain issues, we want to be open, and we're worried about getting shut down or censorship, we put it on TimCast.com.
01:39:01.000So there is a conundrum to YouTube being censorious and violating the rights of people to express themselves.
01:39:09.000I suppose the challenge is YouTube is the culture war battleground.
01:39:13.000We can say on principle, I quit, and then completely lose all resources and access and influence in the culture war.
01:39:19.000Or we can say, I'm going to reallocate a large portion of the workday towards a private place, a speakeasy as it were, and then show people on YouTube, here's how you find the speakeasy, and here are the ideas where you can go.
01:39:32.000And more importantly, When people are like, Jim, you know, you're on YouTube and you should quit.
01:39:36.000And it's like, yeah, and I had Alex Jones on three times.
01:39:49.000You know, I wouldn't, I would like to get off YouTube and we're working towards building up TimTaps, TimGast.com for that reason.
01:39:53.000But I still think there's value in having a platform where we can have guests like Alex Jones and Steve Bannon, who actually aren't a lot on the platform.
01:40:00.000They're not allowed to have their own platform, but we can host them.
01:41:14.000Nanya Business says, Tim Pool, quote, big tech and media won't attack the left because they'll literally show up and burn their houses down.
01:41:20.000Also, Tim Pool, the right must not use violence because it doesn't help.
01:41:25.000What you missed in that quote, Nanya Business, is Tim Pool, quote, also, The left controls the cultural institutions, and when Antifa gets violent, they're defended by big tech and by media.
01:41:35.000The right doesn't have that opportunity and is fighting an uphill battle.
01:41:38.000We're in an era where, after the Black Lives Matter riots happened, they went from 25% net support to 3%, losing 7% from the year prior, which were their gains.
01:41:50.000They have generated a massive opposition because of their riots, so the last thing you need to do is create propaganda for your enemy, especially when you know That the right could go outside and wave a little flag and they'll scream, Nazis marched!
01:42:02.000And Antifa can burn down a cafe killing a guy and they'll say, peaceful protest.
01:42:06.000So when you gain control of cultural institutions, come back and make arguments.
01:46:10.000We've already filed paperwork for our non-profit.
01:46:12.000It will do fact-checking, it'll do a general analysis of news outlets, like, we're gonna take a hundred articles, we're gonna look for ethics violations using the SPJ's ethics, and then if it's an opinion piece but it's not labeled opinion, they get an X. If they're falsely framed or factually incorrect, they get an X. If they tried to harm people, like, here's the address of a man who posted a meme, then they'll get an X.
01:46:37.000And then you'll see like out of the hundred articles we read, 37 were deemed to be ethical journalism.
01:46:43.000And then we'll list a spreadsheet of all the articles, each with an explanation that you can read and assess yourself.
01:46:49.000Now let me explain frame checking in the easiest way possible.
01:46:54.000You might believe, well you guys probably don't because you're smart people, but there are a lot of people that believe that Border Patrol agents were whipping migrants.
01:47:03.000Instead of publishing headlines that read, Border Patrol did not have whips and were not whipping migrants, all these outlets said, White House condemns Border Patrol whipping migrants.
01:47:36.000Border Patrol agents did not have whips and did not whip migrants.
01:47:39.000Within the story, you would say, the White House, when asked, not knowing the context, erroneously concluded that it happened and that the photos were shocking.
01:47:47.000In reality, they were not equipped with whips.
01:48:19.000But it's like, yeah, spinning the reign is a big cry from having a whip and slapping somebody in the last minute.
01:48:27.000Oh yeah, defending a horse is different than attacking a migrant.
01:48:29.000But these media outlets know that they can legally get away with saying White House condemns Border Patrol agents whipping migrants because we didn't say they whipped migrants.
01:48:57.000You made a good point, Daniel, that bad optics, bad media leads to bad policy often, and that they could end up making some dumb rule like Border Patrol can't be riding on horses anymore.
01:49:44.000Exponential increase the higher you go.
01:49:46.000Once you get to 7, it's Nasty, nasty, like bringing buildings down.
01:49:49.000I don't know the full numbers, but I read somewhere that, like, the difference between a 9.0 and a 9.1 is the difference between, like, a 6.0 and, like, an 8.9.
01:50:33.000You guys want to go to Alaska and film?
01:50:36.000Actually, we have talked about doing it, especially to tell the story of those people in the Pebble Mine Village, and I think he's interested in doing it.
01:51:46.000Danimal Bungie says, I would 100% take a Kamala Harris presidency over a Biden presidency, because at least then we could have a chief executive who has something to lose.
01:52:14.000Lacey Ferguson says, Joy Reid claims the only reason everyone is talking about Gabby Petito's death is because of missing white girl syndrome.
01:52:21.000I can still feel my brain cells dying.
01:52:23.000You know, so one of the Castle crew members, Brett, he made a point earlier, he was like, didn't we just have people riding nearly burning down the country because a black man was killed by the police?
01:52:35.000I'm like, that's actually a really good point.
01:52:38.000I do think the Gabby Petito story is, like, not national news.
01:52:43.000I'm sure it's news in the local area and news to the family.
01:52:46.000But when I've heard the story, and they were like, she was an influencer, I tried finding her pages, and it was difficult because she has, like, her Instagram got big afterwards.
01:53:07.000But like, you know, social media entrepreneur, you know, I, I was like, why can't I find anything on this person while they're claiming, they're claiming this person was like a prominent influencer.
01:53:17.000And I'm like, I, but I guess it's tick tock was tick tock.
01:53:21.000I don't know if she was on TikTok, but people on TikTok were.
01:53:23.000What a waste of mind space, that stupid story.
01:53:26.000I'm so angry that that is up and about.
01:53:29.000Like, it's two idiots beat each other up.
01:53:31.000One of them got killed, the other one, and like, now we're not talking about the surrender in Afghanistan?
01:53:35.000Like, this is something to twist everybody's focus onto.
01:53:40.000I when I saw it when I peep when the story started trending again like any big I just google-searched woman missing minus Gabby and there's just like an endless list of stories always local outlets were like 23 year old woman gone missing 25 year old woman missing with husband and I'm like This one for some reason caught fire.
01:53:56.000I do wish joy read stopped getting any notoriety.
01:55:23.000I was like, wow, this guy's doing a service.
01:55:25.000These people are testifying to Pfizer.
01:55:28.000One of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
01:55:30.000And the crazy thing about it is, when you look at their faces, when you see the faces of them like, on the verge of crying with their eyes closed like, Pfizer!
01:55:41.000All my whole life, I was a musician and an actor, but I can't stand going to shows and standing there and watching, and then at the end, everyone's like... It's like these monkeys, like, screaming and dancing.
01:56:37.000Dan Gander says, Tim, the AP is officially censoring negative news re-Venezuela.
01:56:42.000Minutes of the 2019 meeting show a resolution to that end, intro'd by Gloria Lariva, presidential candidate for the Maoist and VZ-funded PSL, easily verifiable.
01:56:57.000It's hard to read when you use acronyms for everything, but you're trying to cram too much into a super chat, so hopefully I did my best.
01:57:04.000All right, Robert Knight says, I've been trying to relay information to you regarding Evergrande.
01:57:08.000To the info email, Blackrock owns a good-sized stake in Evergrande.
01:57:56.000government can be like, no, you can't do these things.
01:57:58.000Well, to be fair, China is investing in property, and they're buying up large swaths of farmland, and they're buying up companies, and they're paying off professors to leak, you know, scientific research to them, so sure, whatever, I guess.
01:58:11.000At this point, we don't have a strong enough central government to do anything about it, so maybe decentralization would be the better thing for us.
01:58:44.000Dan Boot says we need to repeal the 17th amendment and the reapportionment act to dilute the votes in Congress and for senators to represent their states.
01:58:52.000I think repealing the 17th is a good idea.
01:58:59.000I mean, we've tinkered so much with the original structure of our government that we're surprised it doesn't work, so we just keep tinkering with it.
01:59:06.000Well, I mean, we can make amendments, that's what they're for, but I think at this point we can be like, hey, that one wasn't a good idea.
01:59:11.000But if your two senators were working on behalf of the governor, For the good of your state?
01:59:30.000So they're complaining about local issues.
01:59:33.000Voting for a senator to go to Washington to represent them to fix issues that aren't going to be done at the national level.
01:59:40.000So what you need to do is focus on who your local people are, and then they send people to the federal government.
01:59:46.000I think that makes more sense because you're still voting for representation, but it's only about where you live and your specific local area.
01:59:55.000Right now, people are ignoring all the local issues and it's becoming a disaster.
01:59:59.000But I suppose the people who want a stronger centralized national power like that idea.
02:00:34.000Biggest fascists, most fascist president.
02:00:37.000I don't think it's fair to say Biden yet because I do think history requires a little bit of, of removal from, uh, that only comes with time.
02:00:44.000So he's, as of now, he's an awful president.
02:00:49.000I didn't think he could be worse than Obama.
02:00:51.000Um, so I would have to go Wilson, but come back to me in 20 years.
02:00:56.000Mustang Sally says, us ladies of the night prefer the term sex worker.
02:01:01.000I know because I am one and have been a huge fan for over a year.
