In this episode of the Timestamps podcast, we talk about the New Hampshire Free State Project and the impending breakup of the United States. We also talk about Alex Jones and his new show on Alex Jones Radio, and we have a special guest on the show this week, Bill Ottman!
00:00:20.000If you've not heard of it, you probably should be following our good friend Luke Rudkowski on Twitter or his YouTube channel because I'm pretty sure he's up there right now.
00:00:28.000He'll be coming back soon, but he's a big fan of this.
00:00:30.000Basically, the idea is they want everybody who's libertarian, liberty-minded to move to New Hampshire and pledge to support a free state.
00:00:38.000And now a state rep has filed paperwork to secede from the union or whatever.
00:00:45.000However, you know, you got to be really careful with this stuff because they're like considering a proposal drafted to be up for debate or something like that.
00:00:52.000But basically the paperwork would put on the ballot that New Hampshire should be a free independent state.
00:00:57.000It's a sovereign nation independent from the U.S.
00:01:14.000If the Free State Project works and people keep moving there that are staunch libertarian, anarcho-capitalist, or even some people are anarcho-communist and leftist, being like, yo, we'll take a free sovereign nation and build our own little commune.
00:01:26.000If all of the true anarchists and libertarians do that, it's only a matter of time until you actually have a vote that passes and you have a state saying, we hereby secede.
00:01:36.000So I'll tell you this, as much as this we can expect, there's a lot of stuff going on in this country that says to me, country's falling apart.
00:01:42.000I mean people have been predicting divorce.
00:01:44.000There was this tweet by Mike Cernovich earlier where he said something to the effect of it's the first time in history that the elites have tried to Subjugate an armed warrior class or like like take their children or something like that And we don't know how that will play out because there's no historical examples of this and like it's a good point You know people who leave the military and they're loaded up on guns like crazy are not gonna sit back.
00:02:07.000So it's possible States just start breaking apart.
00:02:10.000We already have in Texas They passed this bill with like, we're gonna make our own suppressors.
00:02:14.000And the federal government has no jurisdiction over this.
00:02:16.000And the federal government, the ATF, is like, yes we do.
00:02:18.000And now they're arguing, you've got sanctuary gun laws, you've got sanctuary immigration states.
00:02:24.000More and more, the federal government seems to be slowly fizzling in a lot of ways.
00:02:29.000Joe Biden comes out and gives his announcements where he's basically only speaking to blue states.
00:02:34.000We've seen it from NPR data on vaccination rates in states.
00:02:37.000The states with the highest vaccination rates are all Biden states, and the states with low vaccination rates, like 40% and below, are all red states.
00:02:45.000So when Biden comes out and says, our patience is wearing thin, He's looking right into the faces of the people in red states and saying, you better do what I'm telling you.
00:02:54.000He's not saying to people in the blue states.
00:03:49.000Before we get started, my friends, go to TimCast.com, become a member to get access to exclusive members-only segments of the TimCast IRL podcast.
00:03:56.000We're gonna have an amazing members-only segment.
00:03:59.000Usually it goes up around 11 or so p.m., but there's a huge library.
00:04:48.000All right, and smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
00:04:53.000If every single person who is watching right now took that URL and posted it on every platform, on Facebook, on their YouTube tab, in Minds, on Gab, wherever it is, Twitter, Instagram, we'd be bigger than the mainstream media overnight.
00:05:07.000But I mean, like, seriously, if we had, like, 50,000 shares instantly, we'd be, like, trending everywhere.
00:05:12.000People don't, for the most part, do it en masse, but, you know, it's true.
00:05:19.000Yeah, there was a thing where they would tell everyone to sign up, and it would, like, get access to send a tweet on your behalf.
00:05:27.000And then this app, once everyone lined up and agreed, and they had like 100,000 people, it would fire off a tweet on every account at once, instantly creating a worldwide or global trend.
00:06:17.000CDC and Prevention's eviction ban, Joe Biden's mandate, which requires federal workers to get the COVID vaccine as examples of federal overreach.
00:06:25.000He also mentioned that New Hampshire, which has no state income tax, is obligated to pay federal income tax.
00:06:30.000We are a donor state that pays out more in federal income taxes than we get back.
00:07:03.000So what Jack Murphy was saying the other day, we're not a republic anymore.
00:07:06.000Laws are made when the sovereign decrees, and then the plebs are awarded a chance, if they are negatively impacted, to file a petition to the courts to challenge this new law.
00:07:19.000That's the way this country's been run for the past two years, with all these lockdowns and everything.
00:08:12.000If a federal building is operating a business that sells merchandise in a state that says you cannot legally do this, which means the federal government is violating the law in the state.
00:08:24.000Can state troopers go in and shut them down?
00:08:27.000I'm pretty sure federal law supersedes, doesn't it, in a lot of cases?
00:08:30.000But there's no federal law mandating masks.
00:08:56.000So if Florida does have a law, or at the very least, if Biden says my mandate is sound, okay, then Ron DeSantis says my policy is sound, then what gives the federal government actors the right to operate business in the state under violation of the state's executive orders?
00:09:14.000Well, have there been any confrontations in Florida?
00:09:17.000Well, that's that's so interesting because so much of this is about enforcement.
00:09:48.000So there hasn't been any violence about it at this point because there hasn't been any enforcement other than civilian on civilian enforcement.
00:09:58.000We saw that in California when they were doing the lockdowns.
00:10:00.000It was health inspectors versus like a business owner, you know?
00:10:04.000If you're in a restaurant in New York, you live in New York, right?
00:10:07.000If you go in, and I don't think you have experience with this, but I'm just wondering what your thoughts are, and someone says, can I see your Vax card?
00:10:41.000So it's like systemic racism for everything except this apparently and you had the rest of the patrons in the restaurant saying like oh you need to show your vax card and he's like we're not vaccinated and Yeah, he was citing a religious exemption.
00:10:55.000But the reason I brought this up in reference to New Hampshire, because I don't want to veer too much off of you talking about secession from the United States.
00:11:03.000I think this family should move there.
00:11:05.000In the Civil War, what kicked it off was Fort Sumter, when these states were like, yo, we secede, screw you.
00:11:12.000And then Union soldiers were still there.
00:11:14.000And South Carolina, I think it was South Carolina, was like, yo, get your troops out.
00:12:12.000If we move into vaccine mandate territory, if Joe Biden says that anybody who wants to go into a federal building has to have proof of vaccination, then you get into crazy territory with Texas and Florida, South Dakota, or whatever, where we could potentially see states say, Now we actually want to secede, or we might get an original jurisdiction claim, which would be like what happened in the election with all the states going straight to the Supreme Court and challenging the federal government's authority.
00:12:38.000That would be so—it's so interesting, because we haven't seen any actual clashes, right?
00:12:44.000I mean, we— You know those videos are coming.
00:13:21.000It's like once you've accepted the tyranny upon yourself and then you really need to enforce it on others just to make sure that you're not the fool.
00:14:38.000It's just and it's it's terrifying to watch this happen and to watch civilians.
00:14:43.000That's the thing that I find so horrifying about it is the way that the enforcement works.
00:14:48.000So in New York City, this vaccine mandate thing, It's, there's no cops doing it.
00:14:54.000There's, you know, maybe the random health inspector is going to show up and you're going to have situations where, you know, somebody accidentally gets let in and it's like the, you know, serving people without proper ID situation or whatever.
00:15:09.000So I've talked to a bunch of people about it and they say they don't know how to push back against it because it's just pushing back against somebody else who is being pushed by the same rules.
00:16:45.000You go to your bank, you take out as much money as you can in cash, then you put on a stovepipe hat or whatever and a tuxedo, and you walk up twirling a cane, and knocking the door, and you walk in, and you've got all the cash in your hand, and you're flipping it around, and when they're like, do you have a VEX card?
00:17:20.000And I'm just like, if you still live in New York after literally everything you've seen, I'm going to put my feet back, grab a drink, and just laugh.
00:17:28.000Yeah, well, as someone who lives in New York, like, it's sort of, you know... How about don't?
00:17:37.000But... I mean, we have real world data now that psychologists are going to have an absolute field day with, because this is like what, you know, all of the classic studies on obedience were based around.
00:17:49.000And now, There's just data everywhere and real-world information.
00:17:55.000There's going to be crazy studies that happen based on all of these events.
00:18:16.000We said, hit me harder, Daddy, until I bleed, please.
00:18:19.000But maybe the test is, with a history knowing this, what happens to a population with a history of negative consequences to authoritarianism?
00:18:31.000What happens when you then reintroduce authoritarianism to a population that knows it?
00:18:48.000They're like doing, they criticize people who do research like, all you did was read a few articles.
00:18:52.000Did you do a double blind controlled study?
00:18:55.000And it's like, no, and you didn't even read the article.
00:18:58.000It's like, you've done less than I have.
00:19:00.000So those people in mass are demanding vaccine mandates, cheering for it, and we got so much on this stuff.
00:19:09.000I'm saying, this is why we started with the New Hampshire seceding from the union thing, because I'm like, yo, this is all just gonna fall apart.
00:20:08.000You can, you can, a vaccine card is not a negative COVID test.
00:20:13.000You can, you could actually have a vaccine card, have been vaccinated, contract COVID, and then go to this restaurant, show them your vaccine card and sit down?
00:20:30.000I was just at a music festival in Greenwich and basically, you know, unvaccinated people were required to have a test and vaccinated were not required to have a test.
00:20:39.000I mean, why wouldn't everybody be required to have a test?
00:21:08.000But this is the craziest thing when they say stuff like, we must protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated.
00:21:14.000And I'm like, I don't understand what that means.
00:21:16.000So the response from many of these people on the left has been, we're saying that the unvaccinated are loading up hospital beds and congesting the hospitals.
00:21:26.000And I was like, oh, so we should protect the fit from the fat?
00:21:30.000So fat people should get the boot from the hospital for triage for only the healthy people?
00:21:33.000Well, and of course, that was Mayor Michael Bloomberg's thing when he was the mayor of New York.
00:21:38.000He had, he wanted a, I think he passed it.
00:21:40.000There was like an extra tax on big gulps or something like that.
00:22:21.000But I think there was something, it was a study or whatever, or an article that said, when it does transfer to animals, it doesn't transfer back.
00:22:28.000But they said people got it from a bat, right?
00:22:31.000If that's the case, then there you go.
00:26:21.000When they bite you, it's not really quite a bite at first.
00:26:24.000It's like these little scissors, these scissors jaws, and they slice away at your skin and then they bury their face inside and suck your blood out that way.
00:28:54.000We know that the people... You know, I love to cite the poll on economics, that Democrats think the economy is doing fairly well, but independent Republicans think it's doing fairly bad, which is objectively true, especially with the latest inflation numbers and all that stuff, and the forecasting down to the GDP and things like that, which Jack still says is still pretty good.
00:29:15.000I want you to imagine these people who live in California who voted for Gavin Newsom.
00:29:20.000They adamantly believe YOU are in a death cult.
00:29:24.000And it's funny because you'll see it on Reddit, you'll see it on Twitter, they say, these people are in a death cult.
00:29:29.000And you're like, it's really weird how, in this political faction, we can have liberals, moderates, centrists, conservatives, religious folk, all having discussions and debates on a variety of issues.
00:29:42.000All disagreeing, but agreeing on liberty and principle, and then being told they're in a cult, and then you have the completely homogenous faction on the left believing they're not in the cult, but they just believe whatever they're told on TV.
00:29:54.000My favorite is when you go to, like, r slash politics on Reddit, and there'll be a headline that's an outright lie, and if you actually click the article, you'll see it's not true, but all of the comments are like, we're so smart, and it's true.
00:30:05.000So I want you to imagine those people.
00:30:07.000Then I want you to imagine an actual conflict breaking out.
00:30:10.000And they're telling themselves and their friends and their families the dangerous Trump death cultists are trying to take this country and we have to stop them.
00:30:19.000The insurrection, all of that stuff, which they genuinely believe.
00:30:24.000They're gonna fight believing that they're right.
00:30:26.000And then people like us are gonna be sitting here being like, yo, a bunch of crazy people are trying to push crazy nonsensical things on everyone else.
00:30:35.000The point I'm trying to make is, There is no remedying the divide.
00:30:46.000I'm thinking about Hitler abusing the media to drive people crazy and radicalize people, and now the media has driven people crazy and is radicalizing people, but there's no Hitler.
00:32:24.000I think we're, we're dealing with, with, with NPC lemming type, whatever the, look, you see Pendulet sitting there with, with Newsome giving a thumbs up.
00:32:46.000Well, they're using crisis as a reason to abandon our traditions and our representative government.
00:32:53.000And they're saying that because it's a crisis, we now get to abandon all the rules and do these executive and, you know, overarching things.
00:33:02.000And what's being missed, of course, is that it's during a crisis.
00:33:06.000It's when things are at their most dire that you have to hold fast to your principles and to your values.
00:33:13.000And to your traditions of government, for sure.
00:33:15.000What we need is a representative government.
00:33:17.000And what we have is executives all over the country making their own determinations.
00:33:23.000Even the governors where I agree with what they're doing, which I would say in a lot of cases I agree with DeSantis.
00:33:28.000I agree with some of Abbott's stuff as well.
00:33:31.000I don't agree with how it's being done.
00:33:33.000I think it's being done in a completely garbage way.
00:33:35.000It's being done in a way that undermines the very values of our nation.
00:34:16.000So I'm not saying your average sitting at home filling out a mail-in ballot Gavin Newsom supporter is going to be in the streets yelling and you know flinging torches or something.
00:34:24.000But a decent percentage of these people who go march in the streets with the doing the communist salute the red salute while they're protesting Those people will fight.
00:34:34.000Antifa will act as partisan, engaging in violence to gain political power and territory.
00:34:40.000The police who remain are gradually becoming more and more pro-establishment authoritarian.
00:34:45.000The libertarian-minded people are quitting and resigning from the military and the police departments, so it's only a matter of time.
00:34:51.000Well, there's also parallel economies and governments that are being formed right now in crypto and like the crypto economy that is forming in parallel is actually the funny part.
00:35:02.000You know, you brought up anarcho communists and libertarians in the beginning, like in New Hampshire, they both support Bitcoin and crypto because it's a fair sort of, you know, Permissionless system that anyone can participate in.
00:35:15.000So there are actually proposals for network states like Balaji, who's a really interesting crypto character, has proposed the idea of a network state.
00:35:25.000And so we have all the typical geopolitical stuff happening, but we also have a crypto digital situation forming.
00:35:33.000This is the piece of the puzzle people need to understand.
00:35:36.000When you bank, we were talking about this in the members segment last night, when you bank, there's no money.
00:35:43.000I talked to my bank after there was an error and it was a problem, and they basically said, we write down that you have this number, and then when you say you want to transfer it, we erase the number, and the other bank writes down you have the number.
00:38:44.000Like, how do you get someone... How does someone register into the system to be able to vote using crypto?
00:38:51.000Well, there would have to be some sort of connection between the decentralized identity like in the crypto wallet tied to like a driver's license.
00:38:59.000So, you know, if a state was actually going to become like a network crypto state, then it would have to be sort of connecting its database of identities with the actual crypto addresses.
00:39:15.000Yeah, you have to get people off the rules at a certain point.
00:39:17.000Yeah, and then all of a sudden you've got IDs, like someone passes away, and then a week later someone's like, I got access to their crypto, and you know.
00:39:24.000So there's definitely edge cases that have to get... Well, I do think there is some, you know, we should look at... Dead people are voting now anyway, but... Well, there was like, what was it, like a couple dozen people were found in one particular jurisdiction, but I don't want to make it seem like millions of... I'm saying... Well, there was an old joke in Philadelphia, which is notoriously shady politically, and there was a long-standing Republican on his deathbed, and his best friend is this Democratic operative, and the guy says, you know, well, at least as he's dying, at least I never voted Democrat.
00:39:59.000And his friend says, don't worry, you will.
00:40:03.000Yeah, but I heard that joke like 25 years ago.
00:40:06.000I think there is some promise with crypto in terms of voting, but I do think we can't overlook the fact that, let's say New Hampshire does, because they want to put this thing on the ballot.
00:40:27.000They don't got to worry about funding.
00:40:29.000They don't got to worry about being cut off.
00:40:30.000They don't got to worry about the federal government being like, we sacrifice blood and treasure for your admittance to the union and we will not let you leave.
00:40:35.000They'll be like, what are you gonna do about it?
00:40:38.000We get our funding through decentralized internet, you know, networks.
00:40:41.000We fund each other and people in New Hampshire are armed to the teeth.
00:40:44.000So, I mean, what would really happen in circumstance?
00:40:46.000Would the Feds storm in, the National Guard, the Army, and try and shut the state down and usurp civilian authority?
00:41:27.000But still, we're at a point where even Scotland, if Scotland really did vote for independence, what can they do?
00:41:34.000Are we gonna see a whole nother campaign to go claim Scotland for the crown?
00:41:37.000The only reason I think... I think they're working on that, right?
00:41:40.000So my point is, we are beyond the era of violence, to a certain extent.
00:41:46.000What I mean is, people will not tolerate Conflict.
00:41:51.000And so if New Hampshire says, here's our list of grievances, here's the problem, and then images start emerging of like New Hampshire residents being beaten and dragged, the rest of the country would be like, stop, stop, what are you doing?
00:42:06.000The federal government would freak out, but people in Idaho are going to be like, whoa.
00:42:11.000I'll tell you this, if people in New Hampshire really did vote to secede, and it was like, boom, there it is, we have people mentioning in Super Chat that they have it in their constitution that they can, then if the federal government moves in, a bunch of other states are gonna file lawsuits, they're gonna make declarations.
00:42:28.000Basically what happened in the original Civil War, the original, the first one in the United States.
00:42:50.000If they try and block the road from Massachusetts to Maine by taking it to a new country, then the government would try and take it back.
00:42:56.000And that would be like a Fort Sumter moment.
00:42:57.000There's another thing, too, which is southern New Hampshire is mostly just a bedroom community for Boston.
00:43:03.000So a lot of people who live in that little southern New Hampshire area that borders on Massachusetts work in Boston or work in Massachusetts.
00:43:12.000And I don't think they want to get cut off from their jobs.
00:43:15.000I don't think they want to lose their jobs because they can't get across the border if there's some sort of issue.
00:43:21.000Let me say, I'm not a historian to tell you about the Soviet Union or anything like that, but they lasted, I think, 69 years and then collapsed.
00:44:35.000government, I'm just like, man, did these dudes work it out.
00:44:37.000So, you look at, the reason we vote the way we do, we have districts, we've got counties, is that we want to protect, say there's a small town that's got a water reservoir, and the people all move there and they share and they bask in this water and they protect it.
00:44:53.000And then a neighboring county says, we want it.
00:45:14.000The problem is, We've become a completely nationalized information economy.
00:45:20.000So where it used to be that your local news outlet had your city that you would learn about, and they still exist, for sure, now people are increasingly getting their news from national sources.
00:45:31.000There was a joke, I think it was, I think it was 30 Rock actually, because I've been watching it, where they were like, and now back to national radio, that doesn't make sense for you because we're, it's hot out there, or maybe it's not.
00:45:45.000And so what happens then is people vote based on these overtly national issues.
00:45:51.000So when you talk about, you've talked to Ian before.
00:45:55.000Ian, you've talked before about direct democracy in a republic system, meaning I think what you mean is we still have the jurisdictions, we still have a defense for minority, you know, smaller, less populated areas to have their votes heard.
00:46:10.000But instead of sending a representative, they just issue a county yes or no, as opposed to having a rep go do it.
00:46:32.000And then it's like, oh wait, that's our water.
00:46:34.000I didn't know that because we don't pay attention locally anymore.
00:46:38.000So that's, regardless of whether they use your system or anything else, that is one of the key problems right now.
00:46:43.000Like AOC would not have gotten elected or reelected were it not for the fact that she's got donors all over the country in small pockets funneling money into her district, which she's supposed to represent, but she represents the interests of a mass of Twitter socialists.
00:49:00.000That's not what they've been tasked to do by the voters.
00:49:03.000That's not what they were tasked to do by the Founding Fathers, who all managed to find themselves in the same place at the exact right time.
00:49:11.000They tried to recall Newsom, and a bunch of conservatives said he's going to now punish the people of California with harsher lockdowns, and he's doing it.
00:49:20.000I mean, right after the election, that's when LA put in place their Vax Pass rules.
00:49:26.000They waited till right after the election.
00:49:28.000I gotta be honest, I really do think that, like, Newsom was sitting in his office like this, you know, looking at the TV, and then when CNN was like, we call—you know, Wolf Blitzer comes on, it looks like a landslide victory for Newsom, he went, mwahahaha!
00:50:53.000Yeah, so I don't know exactly what's going on, but I have family in the suburbs and they're like, everyone's like, you can't go anywhere without a mask.
00:51:01.000They've got mandates popping up all over the place.
00:52:12.000When I'm in, you know, people have asked me, like, if I was in West Virginia and I saw a guy walking around with, like, a bunch of guns and, like, an AR-15 and, like, a shotgun, would you, like, run?
00:54:05.000But look at what, look at what they want.
00:54:06.000They want to go to school for, they want to have secondary and whatever education for free.
00:54:12.000If they've paid for it, they want it too.
00:54:14.000They want that money back or they want to not have to pay for it. They want rent to be fully covered
00:54:19.000They want the government to pay out uh money
00:54:23.000Endlessly if you don't have a job or if you just don't want to get a job or whatever
00:54:27.000They want to require businesses to pay certain wages um, you know higher than the current minimum wage they want
00:54:34.000to do all of these things in order to Control society in order to regulate how everybody is to
00:54:40.000live their lives And there's no room to I mean where are the artists going
00:54:45.000to come from where are the entrepreneurs going to come from?
00:54:47.000Where are the explorers going to come from the left has completely forgotten that in our hearts. We are a race of
00:54:54.000explorers The left is a picasso painting
00:54:57.000And the right is like an ikea instruction If what you're saying is we have no conservative culture, you are correct.
00:55:05.000What I mean is, the right is like very straightforward and here's what we believe, here's why we believe it, here's what we want, here's what we're gonna do, and then they kind of just like, it's not used.
00:55:17.000It's tossed to the side and then someone tries jamming the thing together without actually... And crappy materials.
00:55:21.000And yes, and the left is a Picasso painting where you're like, I think that's a person?
00:55:26.000Your policies are a mishmash that come together and it's not a readable document.
00:55:30.000So I love the easiest example to understand why a lot of leftist policies make no sense.
00:55:49.000Oh, what if they start doing infrastructure projects to reduce our dependence on foreign energy and things like that and create maybe fusion ignition?
00:56:27.000But AOC's Green New Deal was like, and you'll get free college and people who aren't white will get reparations or something like that.
00:56:34.000I don't think she actually said reparations, but it was like, identitarian, free college.
00:56:40.000Then you had on her website saying like, we need to stop air travel and farting cows.
00:56:44.000And I'm not exaggerating, literally said farting cows.
00:56:46.000And I'm like, dude, I made a video where I was like, a Green New Deal sounds great because we've been nation building in other countries for so long.
00:58:09.000But I certainly think they should come out and be like, NFA, gone.
00:58:12.000I think a lot of this comes down to there not being any conservative culture.
00:58:15.000I mean, these values that you're talking about, you know, and I think freedom of speech is actually well under attack as well, but it's being attacked more from the corporate side, fully backed by the federal government.
00:58:29.000But we don't have a conservative culture movement that shows these values, that gives voice to these concerns in a way that shows up every day on people's, you know, TikTok streams or TV shows or movies or in books or anywhere, you know?
00:59:08.000And I think a lot of this has to do with the failure of the conservative movement to provide entertainment options or anything that people want to consume.
01:01:29.000Yeah, I don't know, but it was a bunch of young black people who were protesting, saying Nicki Minaj was correct, Fauci's lying.
01:01:36.000So what ends up happening is, you do have your overarching conservative ink, And then you have establishment left, which includes the faux-progressives, these big YouTube channels and streamers who claim to be on the left, but then, like, buy themselves extravagant houses, or try to union-bust in their own companies.
01:01:58.000You know, when someone says something, something, because I'm on the right, Jack said it a couple times last night, I didn't say anything about it, but when they do that, I'm, here's my label, they've lost, they've fallen in the swamp and they've sunk and they've died.
01:02:10.000You cannot label yourself and get through this.
01:02:12.000This is not a political... Alright, cult or not cult.
01:02:31.000You should question what you're thinking if you find yourself in line with the majority.
01:02:35.000Yeah, there are some things that I'm like, I believe this and I will stand by it.
01:02:40.000And that means I'm willing to criticize high-profile individuals who might, you know, be friends of mine or might have, you know, certain access that I would benefit from.
01:02:50.000But I'm not going to... Jim Brewer, best example.
01:02:53.000When he cancelled his shows over the vaccine mandate, he was like, I'm not going to be beholden to this system of money, you know, to do something I don't believe in.
01:03:04.000Well this is why language matters so much and like you know Huxley and Orwell were obsessed with it and it's just like we have to be specific in the language because obviously conservatism is a great principle.
01:03:13.000Liberty, liberalism should be a great principle.
01:03:19.000I know they don't mean anything but I'm just saying using them is so limiting and the language is being hijacked.
01:03:49.000I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but I agree with him on enough.
01:03:52.000At least we can identify a lot of the problems.
01:03:54.000And I'm like, if the Republicans won't even identify the problems, and the establishment Democrats are reveling in the problems, I'll take the Mises Caucus guys who are at least pointing to it.
01:04:05.000I'm like, I don't know if your plan is going to work, but at least you're going to put the... It's like the Republicans and the Democrats are ignoring the fire, or the Democrats are lighting the fire, and the Libertarians are like, we got a plan to put it out.
01:04:15.000And I'm like, I don't care what your plan is.
01:04:52.000And art also doesn't need to be about any of those things.
01:04:55.000I mean your values come through in the art that you create because you are a
01:04:59.000principled individual who believes in things and expresses with your heart.
01:05:03.000That's a lot of what we're trying to do with the new shows we're launching.
01:05:06.000It's not to make political content to convince anybody of any ideas, but it's to tell stories that will inspire and our values are conveyed throughout.
01:05:13.000I want to help teach people how to cook.
01:05:15.000I actually want to learn how to cook while I'm at it.
01:05:17.000Wait, you're really doing a cooking show?
01:05:34.000I do think that there's a possibility of a polar shift in culture that prevents a total collapse.
01:05:44.000I still think it's most likely there is a collapse, but what I'm getting at is, when it comes to the creation of culture, the establishment is failing miserably, and it's getting worse and worse.
01:05:54.000Since Gamergate and Comicsgate and all this stuff, it has continually just been rather bad in a lot of ways.
01:06:00.000Now some stuff's shined through and been okay, A lot of stuff has been bad.
01:06:04.000Like the new The Craft remake, which was actually like a sequel.
01:06:08.000And it made literally no sense and it was just jamming in a bunch of woke plot points that I'm very confused by.
01:09:23.000It was not profound, not thought-provoking, it didn't inspire me to do anything.
01:09:27.000It was like, it's really fun to see Riker and Picard hanging out.
01:09:30.000But when you watch the original Star Trek, like, well, that, but mostly I think that I like the next generation better.
01:09:36.000When you watch the next generation, it deals with the philosophical consequences of technological advancement and other societies advancement.
01:09:43.000Stargate does that really, really well as well.
01:09:49.000And it's like we had these shows in the 90s that were like, here's a civilization that dealt with that, you know, instead of Inventing electricity.
01:09:58.000They discovered, you know, plasma or something.
01:10:00.000And then it's like, how did how did they develop?
01:10:03.000There's that really, really, really great moment where Data asks Picard about terrorism.
01:10:09.000And he says, something troubles me about, you know, these people and their conduct.
01:10:13.000And it's You know, we say terrorism is bad, yet it seems their strategies are effective.
01:10:18.000And often throughout history, we have seen these actions actually bring about political change.
01:10:23.000And Picard is like, humans have been struggling with these questions for generations, and I do not subscribe to the belief that political power is derived from the barrel of a gun.
01:10:31.000And I'm like, that was like, who are these writers who are just like thought-provoking philosophers?
01:10:39.000When you hear about quotes from famous people like Ben Franklin, it's because only so many of his words could actually be translated through history.
01:10:48.000Because he would write books and he would write things, but of all of the words the man said, probably .001% of his ideas have made it throughout history.
01:10:57.000today you have these writers of these shows building culture and giving these profound ideas on like the make of a man when when when data is on when there's trial determined whether he's a sentient independent life form that's a great the people who wrote that are brilliant philosophers and we're not going to take their names and put the quotes down we're going to put Picard Data.
01:11:18.000You know, I think about the value that TV and radio has given us as a species.
01:11:21.000And it's so great because it's our ability to transmit information.
01:11:25.000And like you said, to pass the knowledge down.
01:11:28.000It's also created this danger where you see Hitler using the mass media to brainwash the people and like how the media today is kind of brainwashing.
01:11:35.000So but I think that the value outweighs the danger so greatly.
01:11:39.000So I imagine that that's a very, very good sign for our species.
01:11:43.000Do you think it's a coincidence that the best memes came out of that time of Star Trek?
01:11:50.000Like all the memes that came up on the internet are like from TNG?
01:13:06.000There was really good visual art came out of that period.
01:13:08.000But then China started to emerge as a greater power and then you had a bunch of problems here in the U.S.
01:13:14.000like the repeal of Glass-Steagall and then the economic crisis and now China's getting more and more power and now perhaps one of the biggest issues is that we as a nation have no ability to stop China from taking over as the global superpower and global economic power China?
01:14:37.000That makes sense that, you know, the people are not homogenous in terms of their perspective, but they are showing themselves to be relatively squashable.
01:14:49.000You know, there's a genocide going on.
01:14:51.000And Pelosi, I think from that same interview that you pulled up earlier, she was saying that, yes, China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs, but it's more important that we team up with them about climate change.
01:15:05.000We're idiots for letting this kind of thing happen.
01:15:08.000China also though had a long period of time while the West was engaging in the age of exploration and all of that where they were basically just isolationists.
01:15:20.000I think should have a lot more ability to control its own destiny in terms of One thing Trump did was he tried to get more pharmaceutical production in the U.S., localized in the U.S., which I think obviously we should be doing.
01:15:39.000Why are we, you know, for decades we let so many Asian countries basically be the factories of the U.S.
01:15:55.000I mean, except that Americans probably don't want to work any of these jobs, what with the free money being flooded out by the government.
01:16:02.000It's going to be a cold splash of water in the face when Americans who do these fake jobs... I tell that story when I first went to Vice and saw how much people were getting paid and what they did for a living.
01:16:15.000If working class people in this country could see inside New York media, there would be a revolution overnight.
01:16:23.000Could you imagine working $15 an hour doing labor only to discover that someone's getting paid $50 an hour to like scour the internet for pictures of a celebrity and then they don't show up half the time?
01:16:38.000The vice office would be like empty half the time.
01:16:40.000And I'd be like, Oh, where is, you know, so-and-so in the back at home?
01:16:44.000They'll just, they'll write something, I guess.
01:16:46.000I can only imagine the conversations they have with the board directors of CNN when they're behind the scenes at MSNBC.
01:16:52.000If we had access to that and we got to listen in on that, yeah, I think there would be a revolution overnight.
01:16:57.000The issue I'm bringing up is that there are people who work hard every single day, and they come home with calloused hands, sweat pouring, you know, drenched in sweat, and they sit down and their back hurts, and they go to the doctor, and the doctor's like, Jim, you got a slipped disc.
01:17:09.000And he's like, getting paid, you know, 40 grand a year doing this stuff, and it's like, his body is in pain.
01:17:17.000Then there are guys who it's like, they finally got that promotion, they're working really, really hard, and they're older.
01:17:23.000And then there's a 20 year old getting paid double their salary in New York to complain about you for voting for Donald Trump.
01:17:44.000And then they say you're a maggot and a plague rat and they get double the money you make.
01:17:49.000I find it still so shocking because it was it's what like the country's basically half and half at this point was like what 74 million people voted for Trump.
01:17:59.000The other half kind of voted for the other guy.
01:18:05.000But then also the thing with the I think there's been a number of polls coming out recently showing that it's like 51 percent of Americans are in favor of vaccine mandates and 49 percent are not.
01:18:18.000So it's definitely like half and half, and one half of the country is telling the other half of the country that they're garbage, and that half of the country is the one doing all of the work.
01:18:28.000So I want to talk to you about cancel culture and how it affects media companies, notably, That one of the sponsors for the Postmillennial, where you are the editor-in-chief, Surfshark, which is a VPN, I believe, right?
01:18:42.000They got a... Some Antifa guy tweeted at them that Andy No was all these stupid things they lie about.
01:18:48.000And Surfshark immediately was like, oh no!
01:19:09.000We're not supporting or dismissing anyone.
01:19:11.000Our core goal is protecting people's digital privacy and security, and we just don't want to be involved in someone else's conflicts or ideological disagreements, which is a lie.
01:19:22.000Because when Antifa tweets at you, and then you say, you got it, buddy.
01:19:25.000We'll sever ties with the business over your ideology, You're doing exactly that.
01:19:30.000And now that you're getting backlash for it, you have the nerve to come out and be like, we're not doing it, we just don't want to be involved.
01:19:37.000Surfshark violated the privacy of the post-millennial and Andy Ngo by publicly tweeting they would terminate a business arrangement over accusations made online.
01:19:46.000If they're willing to sacrifice or violate the privacy, look, if they wanted to sever, they could have privately called up and said, guys, we're not fans of this conflict, so we're not going to publicly call you out on anything, but we don't want to work with you anymore.
01:20:04.000So, that's me calling them out, but I'm curious because I still saw ads on the Postmillennial, and I was wondering if you had some more insight into this spineless company selling out their values out of fear from Antifa.
01:20:20.000Yeah, it was actually pretty interesting and shocking.
01:20:22.000So it was basically, you know, one tweet at this company saying that Andy is a violent person, which I don't know if you guys have ever met Andy, but he's like the furthest from a violent person that I've almost ever met.
01:20:38.000And then they said that they weren't doing that.
01:20:41.000They terminated our relationship with them.
01:20:43.000But they said that or they actually did?
01:21:20.000But yeah, so we took the ads down and, you know, they basically gave legitimacy to these violent extremists who wanted to silence the media and silence the press.
01:21:34.000And they actually, you know, they replied to customers too, and we have screenshots of this as well, because Andy reached out on Twitter and was like, hey, if you hear from them, And we have screenshots.
01:21:44.000They told customers that Andy was, you know, violent and they weren't going to be working with us anymore because of Andy.
01:21:51.000There are a lot of people on the right who said they've worked with Surfshark.
01:22:12.000I mean, so where do you, where do you guys see the sort of, oh, I'm only doing business with a certain type of political ideology going?
01:22:21.000Like, do you think that it's going to move into like a polarized corporate system?
01:22:26.000It's going to be, I mentioned this before, like parallel economies, but I think people need to boycott And tell all their friends and family to boycott.
01:22:35.000And the way I see it is, if a company is willing to defame someone privately and publicly, then whatever it costs them in PR to run those ads, it should cost them 100 times from the power of the people to say, you're bad and we reject this, and then going out and telling everybody.
01:22:57.000People don't, you know, there's this old saying, I can't remember exactly, but it's like this advice you'll get in media, like a negative experience is 10 times worse, you know, or it's like a thousand times worse than a positive one.
01:23:24.000They won't tell their friends about it.
01:23:26.000But if you have a cheesecake and it, like, is gross, they'll tell everyone they know.
01:23:31.000So if these companies want to play this game, where they're willing to step up, stand up, and shove themselves into an ideological conflict, and I'll mention this too, Andy is the editor-at-large.
01:24:10.000And by saying that they're not getting involved, they are very clearly getting involved on the side of this guy who, you know, just has it in for Andy because Andy exposes Antifa all over the place and is very honest about it and works hard at that.
01:24:23.000We got to get the post-millennial monetized with mines.
01:24:59.000I'm like, if a company comes out and does something like this, which is substantially worse than just posting stupid, you know, woke nonsense.
01:25:09.000If they actively defame people and enter the conflict, I say go nuclear.
01:25:37.000I actually started, there were some things that I was ordering on Amazon and I actually started ordering them from the company specifically.
01:25:43.000I'm not going to say it because what if they say they hate me and then I can't order their stuff anymore.
01:25:47.000But there's a, it's interesting what you were saying about the parallel economies because we switched, you know, we switched mostly from using YouTube for our podcasts and stuff at Postmillennial and now we're using Rumble for everything.
01:26:00.000And it's, you know, just fine and we like them quite a bit.
01:28:19.000Michael Malice has described this as the new right, new right personalities, and his position is, ask someone this question, and I'll ask you.
01:28:27.000Do you believe that some people are better than others?
01:28:59.000In terms of the political compass, my political ideology leans left in terms of cooperative, you know, I know right libertarians don't like the idea, but cooperative meaning non-transactional, more like I'll help you if you help me.
01:29:13.000It doesn't really scale up all that well, so mostly I defer to positions of liberty.
01:29:17.000However, in the culture war, I believe in free speech.
01:29:29.000Maybe there's some people on the left who are calling this out.
01:29:31.000But look at AOC going to the Met Gala with her Tax the Rich dress, where a guy carries it for her while wearing a mask.
01:29:37.000She is not... That's the hero of the progressive left.
01:29:41.000Then you look at the libertarian socialist YouTubers and streamers who are celebrating rule by decree.
01:29:48.000If you, when you come out and you're speaking colloquially in modern culture, the free speech, freedom of association, the right to read any book you want is considered right-wing.
01:30:03.000Yeah, I don't disagree, but that, again, it's sort of adopting their paradigm to accept that.
01:30:19.000And if people are going to associate that with the right, that's their decision.
01:30:24.000But, you know, liberty is not going to get taken away from the language.
01:30:28.000Part of the problem, I think, is that we need to be able to communicate with one another, and so we need to share words, and those words need to have common definitions.
01:30:36.000Do you not think that liberty is a more effective word than conservative?
01:30:40.000I mean, I don't want to say libertarian because that has... Libertarian is its own political party.
01:30:44.000But liberty, I think, I don't think is co-opted.
01:30:47.000So you would say you are... I'm not making the new term.
01:31:56.000The interesting thing, I suppose, is that, like, on my Wikipedia, for instance, it says I'm both left and right, and they're like... It's like his anti-corporate politics are fairly left-wing, and it's like, bro, left and right don't mean anything other than tribal signifiers at this point.
01:32:09.000Like, uh, I think left and right can probably be broken down very, very simply.
01:32:12.000Do you question the narrative, or do you blindly follow it?
01:32:16.000If you blindly follow it, that's what we consider left.
01:32:18.000If you challenge it, that's what's considered right-wing.
01:32:21.000So even if your positions are like pro-choice, tax the rich, universal healthcare, UBI, and you challenge official narrative, they'll call you right-wing.
01:32:29.000I just think there's a lot of people on the left that don't want that to be the case.
01:32:34.000The freedom sect of the left, they don't want that.
01:32:40.000So what's the freedom sect of the left?
01:32:43.000The anarcho-communists, the libertarian socialists.
01:32:52.000When the libertarian socialists are following prominent individuals who celebrate rule by decree, and the anarcho-communists are firebombing small businesses, they are just lying about what they represent.
01:33:28.000I used to, I've been taking those, those little, you know, Cosmo testers of political affiliation and it used to be like all over here and now it's over here, but it's the same stuff.
01:33:39.000Like I'm, I'm voicing the same opinion.
01:33:41.000They're changing the algorithms to make you think that you're in some kind of club or labeled some certain way to divide you.
01:35:34.000No, I forgot the analogy I was going to use.
01:35:36.000Anyway, the point is, the left as we know it, The ones that are pro-vaccine mandate, the ones that believe Trump colluded with Russia, the ones that never let that go.
01:35:46.000They refuse to believe the facts when stories come out and say like Biden did this.
01:35:52.000Mark Milley called China outside the chain of command.
01:35:56.000All of this is, this story is developing, being confirmed.
01:35:59.000Now we have the defense secretary saying, I never authorized that.
01:36:03.000Now we have the defense secretary saying, if Trump gave a military order, it should
01:36:16.000That they can tell you to your face they've shuttered the three branches of government, they have bypassed the standard process of legislation, and the priests of this, the so-called libertarian socialists, are celebrating the usurping of civilian authority, the usurping of the branches of our government.
01:36:35.000Now, if Republican voters like, if Trump voters, Republican voters and independents argue with each other all day and night, but agree on certain principles of freedom, clearly not a cult.
01:36:45.000Because I can have an argument with somebody about, like Jack the other day, about family and responsibility, and we're not unified, but we'll hang out, we'll have more shows and we'll debate these ideas.
01:36:54.000Look at what the left does on their shows.
01:36:58.000Brian Stelter won't have on Glenn Greenwald to question him in any capacity, but Tucker Carlson brings on Antifa all the time.
01:37:03.000If one side is saying, challenge the narrative and question science, because that's what science is supposed to be, and we'll absolutely entertain our rivals' positions, and the left says, never gonna allow it, let me tell you one more thing.
01:37:47.000You cannot fix it if you're going to play the fault.
01:37:50.000Okay, but here's the thing that happened.
01:37:52.000You have the, let's call them Democrats, because that's actually a political party and we can agree on the definition of that, right?
01:37:58.000So you have the Democrats, Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, all of these people, they assumed that, they decided that Trump's presidency was a sham presidency, right?
01:38:27.000They acted outside of legislative means because they believed that Trump was a sham president.
01:38:33.000And they assumed that everyone else believed it, too.
01:38:36.000Like, look at even when Biden was running for president and after he won and he started saying America is back, as though America wasn't here for the past four years the whole time.
01:38:45.000Look, we got to go to Super Chats, but I'll say one more thing.
01:38:48.000Joe Biden has come out on numerous occasions looking into the camera and addressing two nations.
01:39:49.000The issue is that when we can have three, we have a room with five people in it, and four people can say to you the definition of the word rights, and for no reason other than to just make a fake argument, you get into semantics, we're never doing that again.
01:40:03.000We had a conversation about what rights were.
01:40:05.000And no matter how many times we tried in good faith to give you a definition, you rejected it.
01:40:10.000Because you weren't interested in actually coming to an understanding, you were just trying to argue.
01:40:14.000People were telling me rights were derived from God.
01:40:16.000I was pointing out that I don't think that that's true.
01:40:18.000And when we tried to explain what that meant, because you're taking it to a theistic place instead of understanding the definition, you refused.
01:40:27.000So you think that just for practical purposes, it is worthwhile to just use the labels Even though they don't really mean anything, you think that it's just sort of a pragmatic thing to just do it.
01:40:46.000Like if you break down what left and right means on political compass, I'm clearly on the left economically and libertarian.
01:40:54.000If you're talking about the overarching culture war, Then the left is simply people who agree with what the left tribe wants, and the right is simply people who agree with what the right tribe wants.
01:41:05.000And if the right tribe includes libertarians, and even left libertarians, and the left doesn't include those people, then there's a clear understanding of what left and right means.
01:41:15.000There are very clearly states that have an overwhelmingly red population.
01:41:25.000Blue states, except for the ones that Trump challenged, the five states that were being challenged by Republicans, those are the only low vaccination rate blue states.
01:41:35.000But every state that voted for Trump outside of those states have low vaccination rates.
01:41:40.000Every state that voted for Joe Biden, aside of the anomaly, has high vaccination rates.
01:41:45.000When Joe Biden comes out and looks in the camera and says, our patience is wearing thin, it is impossible to believe that he is talking to the states that are already vaccinated.
01:41:54.000He's clearly, there's a delineation between what this country is, And he is telling the other group, we are losing our patience.
01:42:14.000Don Lemon on CNN keeps saying that people who are not vaccinated should be segregated from the rest of society and that they're bringing the rest of the country down.
01:42:22.000And now we have a landlord in Florida who's saying, I'm going to evict people who aren't vaccinated.
01:42:26.000So there's very clearly, what people need to understand is that we're not talking about a simple one, negative one, two completely isolated numbers mirroring each other.
01:42:37.000There's overlap in communities of people who believe certain things.
01:42:40.000There's conservatives who live in blue areas, but the area is still overwhelmingly dominated by a certain culture.
01:42:47.000And the idea that like, you know, when Bill Maher said, a civil war can't happen because the Mason-Dixon line would run through Nana's kitchen.
01:42:54.000Do you think that the states would just go...
01:42:56.000He has like no idea what he's talking about.
01:43:00.000If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, and go to TimCast.com because we will have that bonus segment coming up.
01:46:45.000And I think it's funny when, you know, people like these high profile comedians who are like in politics don't go online and they don't know how Twitter influences the world.
01:46:55.000And then you go on Twitter and like some random idiot tweets and then a media company loses a sponsor because some idiot lied on Twitter.
01:47:03.000I had a lot of respect for Nicki Minaj's statement last night that she came out with.
01:47:53.000Dema... Is that a... It's hard to read if it's an R, N, or an M. Demavend says, Article 10 of the NH Bill of Rights is the right of revolution.
01:48:53.000Ladies, small business, you're shut down.
01:48:55.000Me, by the way, I'll go to a restaurant violating all the rules and not wear a mask.
01:48:58.000I mean, if you zoom out, I think all of us as Americans are blindly giving money or supporting a system like this.
01:49:05.000It's not totalitarian, but it's like a world military.
01:49:10.000Whatever's taken over the United States, by us kind of passively enjoying the United States' benefits, we're supporting it.
01:49:17.000I think Trump voters voted for him on the basis of him saying he was going to be getting out of the Middle East, and then he gained something like 11 million new voters because he was actively getting our troops out of the Middle East and putting these deals in place.
01:49:31.000I think most Americans don't want these wars, do want to get out, don't want the tyranny.
01:49:36.000They want to have their homestead, they want to have their family, they want to be left alone and live peacefully and not be engaging in global conflict.
01:49:42.000The problem is, there is a cult that is willing to elect Joe Biden a warmonger and re-empower the establishment to go about blowing stuff up.
01:50:04.000We gave up our rights with the Patriot Act, the formation of the Department of Homeland Security, which now seems to believe that domestic white terror, white supremacy is the biggest terrorist threat facing the country.
01:50:17.000We just have systematically given up our rights ever since September 11th, willingly saying, you know, we're not going to hold our representatives to account.
01:50:30.000It's it's a and to divide the Americans up now is not good because it is there is a cult that put Joe Biden in power and it's not American.
01:50:41.000It's some weird global organization, dude.
01:50:43.000Like, I don't think the Great Reset is real.
01:51:11.000So when you have what we call the cult, and I will in good faith communicate with a journalist and provide them hard evidence that the claims made against me are not true, and they purposefully omit that because their real goal is destruction and pain, like, you're like, wow.
01:52:20.000Trump came in as a bull, smashing it as an insurgent candidate, causing a lot of problems for the establishment neocons, who immediately then joined the Democrats, the Lincoln Project, supposedly conservatives.
01:52:32.000Now they're pro-choice, because they have no principles.
01:52:36.000When you go and see Antifa throw an explosive at a 60-70 year old woman.
01:52:41.000When I watched in San Jose a mob of leftists, some with Bernie shirts on, shove a couple of old people in their 60s to the ground, take their hats off their head and set them on fire.
01:52:52.000You think you're going to unite with these people?
01:53:11.000And then he posted, he posted on Facebook, I've never experienced this before, that he walked up to clansmen and they allowed him to come and talk with them.
01:53:48.000It is not that the media one day, the guy who owns CNN, you know, Jeff Zucker, president, he didn't go to a meeting where they're like, we want to indoctrinate everybody.
01:54:01.000Jack Dorsey used to be the CEO of the free speech wing of the Free Speech Party.
01:54:06.000But then Twitter became this hive of scum and villainy where people were making money off of being assholes and then Jack ate all of that refuse and then espoused it back out and still does.
01:54:18.000They are being infected by their own algorithmic psychosis.
01:54:22.000And now you have people in the streets genuinely believing that black people are being hunted down by the police and murdered, which is not true, and they're burning down small businesses and killing people because of it.
01:54:32.000There is a problem in this country, and there are people who are standing up, criticizing the narrative and questioning it, and even challenging me.
01:54:40.000They'll say, Tim, you're wrong about this, Tim, you're wrong about that, every single day.
01:54:43.000But in that world, I can't even get a single leftist to show up to talk to Alex Jones.
01:55:01.000And if they stand up and ever associate with anyone on the other side, like we would like to, they will be destroyed, they know it, and they refuse.
01:55:09.000That's why so many of the anti-SJW YouTubers from back in the day during GamerGate flipped and are now leftists.
01:55:15.000Or at the very least, bowed out of the fight.
01:55:17.000Because they're more worried about them, their ability to make money, than to stand up for their principles, and they know.
01:55:23.000The encroachment of the CADEC destructive force is seeping into more and more institutions, and they've bet we will lose.
01:55:30.000I don't care if we lose, because I'll get in my van and go down by the river, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit here and be like the dude who threw a brick through the mom and pop bakery shop or burned it down and killed a guy.
01:56:37.000So you can't, you're not going to convince, you're not going to force someone to change.
01:56:42.000Daryl deals with people over years at a time, listens to them literally for months hating on him, and then eventually they start asking questions about him.
01:56:53.000Did you see the picture of the woman in the gorilla mask throwing eggs at Larry Elder?
01:56:57.000I thought that was actually, do you guys remember the Gorilla Girls?
01:57:02.000So the Gorilla Girls were a, you know, basically a leftist activist group where they would all wear gorilla masks to stage actions.
01:57:11.000And I think that that was actually, it looked to me like a gorilla girl mask.
01:57:16.000But also it was sort of amazing that this person was unaware, seemingly unaware that they were wearing... They're zombies!
01:57:38.000If you look at like Antifa, you know, you were talking about them and they were recently, I think it was in Portland, and they were attacking Christians and throwing, the Christians were having like a, you know, some sort of prayer thing and they threw all their sound equipment at I was in San Bernardino and there were Trump protesters and Antifa protesters.
01:58:01.000And a bunch of the people on the right, some of them knew I was a few years ago.
01:58:06.000I walked over to the Antipa people, and they were standing there holding signs, and I was like, hey, would you guys wanna... And as soon as I did, a woman came up and started going, Mike, check!
01:58:42.000There is no unifying with people who you can't even talk to.
01:58:47.000If you can't even invite them to sit down.
01:58:52.000So there are some people that I think of as reasonable on the left, that are leftists, that like hate Trump and all that stuff, they won't come on.
01:58:58.000Of all of the people, that's why I'm like, my respect to Vaush.
01:59:01.000People rag on him all the time, but he came here twice.
01:59:04.000And so there are a handful of people I know who follow me, they're on the left, and they refuse to come and have a conversation with people on the right.
01:59:21.000But just because you can't unify with somebody now, you know, it's okay to say, you know, okay, yeah, at some point in the distant future, someone who will refuse to have a conversation now, maybe in 30 years, they'll be ready for a conversation.
01:59:35.000I think part of what's going on though is it's not just about having a conversation.
01:59:38.000you know, 20 years to, you know, be willing to come to the table. At the end
01:59:41.000of the day, people need to be willing to have the conversation. I think part of what's
01:59:46.000going on though is it's not just about having a conversation. It's about there
01:59:49.000being entirely divergent worldviews. So these, you know, cultists, leftists,
01:59:54.000whatever the word is that we are coming up with this evening, they don't have,
02:00:19.000And you'd be shocked to find that they are actually in the same world, in the same country.
02:00:26.000And you'd be shocked to find that Joy Reid's lying half the time, and Tucker is opinionated.
02:00:32.000They're probably both represented by the same talent agency for gigs.
02:00:38.000When Tucker criticized Simon & Schuster, but then he has his book through Simon & Schuster.
02:00:42.000Well, that's why he was criticizing Simon & Schuster.
02:00:45.000Like he was criticizing Simon & Schuster based on his experience working with them.
02:00:51.000If we can look at all of the economic numbers across the board.
02:00:54.000I'm not saying he was right about that, by the way.
02:00:56.000If we can look at every economic number from the loss of jobs, job openings, jobs being filled, unemployment increasing, all of these things, and be like, these are bad indicators.
02:01:06.000If we can see that projected GDP growth is actually dropping down to slightly above average at a time when we're supposed to be in this massive recovery, and we're getting more lockdowns now, the vaccine mandates are causing businesses to decline, there's a massive labor shortage, so people are struggling to hire, and then the Democrats go, the economy's pretty good.
02:01:23.000Yeah, they don't live in reality, dude.
02:01:24.000No, media's twisting a lot of people, but it's coordinated from way beyond the United States.
02:01:29.000And you can't break them out of it because cult techniques... The way you get someone out of a cult is you remove them from the cult and don't let them communicate with the cult until they can snap out into reality.
02:01:38.000But now they have smartphones that assure them no matter what happens, they will always be hooked into the Matrix.
02:01:47.000I have family members who have lost their minds.
02:01:50.000I have friends who have lost their minds.
02:01:53.000There are people I grew up with who are going on Twitter and making things up about me.
02:01:58.000There was one story, my favorite story, was that at 2am, I went to an activist's house in Boston and turned their TV on, waking up everyone in their house.
02:02:20.000I have friends that I used to skate with every day that I grew up in Chicago that are going on Twitter and lying about me because they're in a cult.
02:02:27.000And I have actually messaged them like, I've known you for 15 years.
02:02:39.000They actually say that they don't care.
02:02:41.000They don't overtly say the words, I don't care.
02:02:44.000They just will put me on read and then say something like...
02:02:47.000Well, I'm reading the news, so... And then they... If I give evidence... So I have one friend who was posting lies about me based on a fake article, and then I showed him private business records like, bro, I've known you for decades.
02:03:23.000This cult metaphor is a lot easier to understand than left and right for me because they are kind of in a cult where the cult leader is this media apparatus.
02:03:33.000We gotta read some more Super Chats because we didn't do enough.
02:03:37.000The Raptor's Talon says, are you planning on hiring video games journalists?
02:03:40.000I would offer myself were it not for my complete lack of journalistic experience.
02:03:44.000Perhaps, but we have a whole bunch of irons in the fire right now, and we need to first launch the Mystery Show, which we've been working on for some time.
02:03:52.000We have to do graphics, we're coding the website to be able to handle the new members' content.
02:03:57.000Right now, TimCast.com has members' content, but it's all TimCast IRL.
02:04:01.000In order to launch a new show with members' content, we have to be able to separate the different shows when you go to the members' area.
02:04:07.000So it's gonna be like any one of these streaming services with different shows, and I think we have like seven shows in production.
02:04:13.000So I'm trying to make sure we're not spreading too thin and we're actually going to get these shows cranked out.
02:04:18.000But we've actually been filming to produce a lot of these.
02:04:21.000The next step is the website needs to be coded to handle the multiple shows.
02:04:25.000We have one show that's basically ready to go, The Mysteries Show.
02:04:34.000Zappler says, Tim, I completely agree with you about creating new culture.
02:04:37.000I'm working on releasing a new novel about vampire hunters called Wilting Blood that is both entertaining while also promoting good values.
02:04:50.000We'll try and grab some of these That person should look into the critical theory that was embedded into Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which is a very real thing.
02:05:00.000The creators of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were, you know, thinking about... The TV show?
02:05:22.000But, you know, I was talking about this, how many people in media are taking their resources and building and trying to grow a network.
02:05:29.000And, uh, Glenn Beck is like, he's the guy doing that, and then I'm like, we're doing that too, so I understand what you're saying.
02:05:35.000You're right about the FOIA task force.
02:05:37.000We already have two legal filings in for two different 501c3s.
02:05:40.000The one thing I will say is a 501c3 can't do political journalism, because they're not allowed to engage in political, like, campaigning stuff.
02:05:49.000But we're planning on doing fact-checking and Investigatory journalism through the nonprofit.
02:05:54.000We're also filing the the open networking nonprofit Which is going to create open source networking tools so that people can't be banned anymore utilizing the Fediverse I'm sure all of the wackos who use the Fediverse are very happy to hear that All right Rick Howell says Red, blue, right, left are labels like man and woman.
02:06:16.000All can be generally defined and generally true, but all have exceptions and corner cases.
02:06:20.000Arguing the exceptions is valid, but often not worthwhile.
02:07:22.000The cult is the Dominion in Deep Space Nine, and they were shapeshifting, massive empire, and they were basically like, the Federation was losing.
02:07:31.000Well, the shapeshifters were in charge, and then they had all of their Dominion, their minions.
02:07:37.000And so the Federation was losing, and on the verge of collapse, the Romulans refused to get involved.
02:07:44.000The Romulans hate the Federation, but then they eventually, you know, Cisco effectively tricked them.
02:07:48.000Well, it was a great episode where he got the Romulans to join the side.
02:07:53.000Like, whatever this side is, it's comprised of a bunch of small different factions with the Republican Party probably as one of the biggest components of it.
02:08:01.000But I can't stand the Republican Party for the most part.
02:08:03.000But there are a lot of people like me who are probably left liberal politically, who think the cult is a dangerous, destructive Borg force that needs to be stopped.
02:08:12.000So, I'm willing to vote for Donald Trump, who says, I'm going to stop these things specifically, and promote values that will prohibit this in the future, and I'm like, we need to stop this.
02:08:22.000So, you know, in the primary, two years ago, I was like, Yang and Tulsi, I was, Yang had a huge list of proposals, it was brilliant.
02:08:32.000Like, he went through policy like no one I've ever seen.
02:08:35.000Too many of these people just bend the knee to the Borg, as soon as it comes down to it.
02:08:39.000So, all right, we'll just grab a couple, we'll just grab a couple more here.
02:08:42.000Because we got to do the member segment.
02:09:09.000Michael Rutherford says, I'm a leftist, and it's hilarious since we are saying the same thing about you guys, that you have all been radicalized and need deprogramming.
02:09:26.000When I can do research and look into the Ukraine meddling and the corrupt actions of Joe Biden, and then look into the Russia stuff and be like, hmm, It seems like Donald Trump is an asshole.
02:09:38.000He's got bad mannerisms, but he's not a racist.
02:09:43.000He's an old man who's lewd and lascivious.
02:09:45.000I can accept all of those things because I looked into it.
02:09:48.000Joe Biden has a magazine article from Politico called Biden Inc.
02:09:51.000that maps the corruption of his family.
02:09:54.000And then they delete the news articles from Twitter, proving that the son's laptop Proving that Hunter Biden's laptop had all this stuff on it, and that he was doing crack with hookers, and that Joe Biden was meeting with him, and then Tony Bobulinski comes out and says Biden was the big man who was getting cut in on the deal, and I'm like, all those things happened, and all the news is there.
02:10:12.000And then they come out and say, but you're in a cult.
02:10:33.000They have no influence and no institutional power.
02:10:36.000So when the media highlights the fringe as the boogeyman and says, the alt-right... Vox wrote an article saying the alt-right could be as large as, you know, 40 million people or something like that.
02:10:50.000NBC wrote a story, it was Brandy Zdrozny, wrote a story in the spring about how the lack of white supremacists at white supremacy rallies was evidence of how deep-seated white supremacy is in the United States.
02:11:03.000That there weren't white supremacists there was the evidence.
02:11:07.000No, but honestly, that super chat is amazing because that's someone calling themselves a leftist
02:11:12.000willing to throw up a few bucks to say that. And like, yeah, it is true that they're using the
02:11:19.000cult word as well. But I think that it's pretty clearly. Is it radicalization to be like,
02:11:25.000the founding fathers were right. The basis of our country.
02:11:29.000That's racist. The basis of this country that's been around for 250 years that we learn in
02:11:35.000history class and it is regular American culture is not radicalization in any sense of the
02:14:06.000I have a video on my main channel from a long time ago when I was in Berkeley, and I was filming the street with my camera when, and talking to someone, when a woman forced herself in the conversation and started making a bunch of leftist points, so I turned with my camera and let her speak.
02:14:21.000Then afterwards, I asked her some questions, And then, what I basically said was, a woman was attacked and she was off bloody.
02:14:56.000They're scared that if they say the wrong thing, they'll get attacked.
02:15:00.000The left will come for them because it's a cult.
02:15:02.000Meanwhile, I can come out and argue with Glenn Beck on his show about why I'm pro-choice, and it ends with us shrugging, shaking hands, and saying, that was a really great conversation.
02:15:42.000We got Mines token battle going right now.
02:15:45.000Next person to a thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand subs So 100,000 subs gets 10,000 tokens, you know, and proportionally.
02:15:55.000So if you're new to the platform and you get 1,000 followers, do you get 100 tokens?
02:17:03.000I will say before we go that I appreciate Ian's concept of not trying to divide people into groups, but I will say that there comes a point when people are dividing you against them and you don't have a choice anymore.
02:17:14.000And if they're putting you into a group like unvaccinated or in my instance it would be something like pro-life, something they will really come after me for, I don't have a choice.
02:17:38.000I'll give one final shout out to Michael Rutherford, who responded, saying, Tim, you are just as delusional as the people you hate.
02:17:46.000I would say that I don't hate 99.999% of people.
02:17:51.000There are journalists who work for websites like BuzzFeed and Vox and the Daily Beast and Slate who are evil people, who make things up and lie.
02:18:01.000Now, as for the delusional thing, I'll tell you this.
02:18:05.000When Micah Brzezinski goes on her show and says, our job is to tell people what to think, you can think whatever you want about what she said, sure.
02:18:12.000When I can read a story from Politico that says Ukraine scrambles after aiding the Democrats in the 2016 election, and then later writes another article saying there was no meddling from Ukraine in the election, I have to wonder why Politico didn't just retract the first article and how both things can be true.
02:18:30.000When you have four years of Russiagate that I accepted in the press and said, wow, look at this evidence.
02:18:36.000I actually met with a very high profile journalist who told me all this stuff.
02:18:40.000And I was like, man, it sounds like Trump did this.
02:18:48.000When the FBI comes out and says there was no coordinated insurrection and there was no plan, I got to say, how many times are you willing to be wrong?
02:18:54.000Or is the fact is you don't actually research anything.
