00:00:00.000 the world.
00:00:18.000 A tragedy.
00:00:20.000 A man struck him in the head with a hammer.
00:00:21.000 I mean, it's a brutal attack.
00:00:22.000 I'm glad that he's getting better.
00:00:24.000 Nancy Pelosi gave a heartfelt interview saying that this was a contributing factor into why she may retire.
00:00:30.000 Or it could be that the Democrats just lost the House formally.
00:00:34.000 It is now confirmed.
00:00:35.000 Republicans have taken control.
00:00:37.000 They knew they had control.
00:00:38.000 They were already having those meetings.
00:00:40.000 But now something interesting has happened.
00:00:42.000 A story came out from the Today Show.
00:00:43.000 They deleted it.
00:00:44.000 They never issued a formal retraction.
00:00:46.000 They said it just wasn't up to their standards, but didn't give an explanation.
00:00:49.000 Where Paul Pelosi apparently opened the door for the cops.
00:00:54.000 Well, they pulled that video down.
00:01:01.000 We now have a new report coming out confirming much of those details, leaving many to question why it was that NBC pulled their story.
00:01:10.000 Could it be they pulled it before the midterms and now the midterms are over, the story is fair game again?
00:01:15.000 I don't know, man.
00:01:17.000 But we're going to talk about it because it is weird to say the least.
00:01:21.000 We also have some other stories that are quite fun and funny.
00:01:24.000 The Democrats are already trying to invoke the 14th Amendment to stop Trump from being able to run for office, which is just nonsense, insanity.
00:01:32.000 And Zelensky is, I can only say, I guess, trying to invoke World War III.
00:01:37.000 Because even after NATO said, hey guys, that missile strike, actually, Ukrainian, big mistake, Zelensky's like, no, no, no.
00:01:45.000 So hopefully this man doesn't drag us into World War III, but he's now being criticized by even members of NATO that he's too overzealous and needs to calm down.
00:01:53.000 We get it.

00:02:50.000 And so we decided to make it a t-shirt, ka-ma-ga-ma-ga, and it's Donald Trump going Super Saiyan.
00:02:55.000 No joke, that's an AI generated image.
00:02:57.000 I thought that was really cool.
00:03:00.000 If you wanna get Donald Trump going super saiyan.
00:03:02.000 I noticed a lot of people were sharing the image and I'm like, cool, I'm glad I typed something random into an AI image generator.

00:03:32.000 This is awesome.
00:03:33.000 Thanks for coming, man.
00:03:34.000 Well, my claim to fame is I joined the Misfits in 1995, left in 2001 and continued my musical journey onward.
00:03:46.000 Gleefully canceled in 2004 for a host of things, including saying the word Jesus.
00:03:55.000 Yeah, I know.
00:03:55.000 How dare you?
00:03:56.000 I know.
00:03:57.000 In Hollywood?
00:03:57.000 I know.
00:03:59.000 Yeah, well, My family's very upset with me.
00:04:04.000 But yeah, you know, I'm like the Forrest Gump of music.
00:04:08.000 There you go.
00:04:09.000 Yeah, that's who I am.

00:04:15.000 Super excited to have you here.
00:04:16.000 It should be fun.
00:04:17.000 We also got Luke wearing a shirt with Karl Marx on it.

00:04:35.000 That is awesome.
00:04:38.000 If you want to experience this amazing moment with your fellow baristas, you could get the shirt on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.
00:04:49.000 Because you do, this is why I'm here.
00:04:51.000 And this is definitely worth a real-life troll that is really fun to put on the yuppies.
00:04:57.000 I like that a lot.
00:04:58.000 Gibs me dats.
00:04:59.000 Guys, I want to echo what Tim was saying about Cast Castle.
00:05:04.000 It's awesome.
00:05:05.000 This last weekend I shot with Corin Nemec.
00:05:07.000 We shot over the weekend a hilarious episode.
00:05:10.000 If you don't know, Corin Nemec from Stargate SG-1, Parker Lewis.
00:05:13.000 I mean, he was on the show last week.
00:05:14.000 The guy's amazing and it was really fun to make.
00:05:16.000 The week before we did a hilarious long-form, longer-form one about a chess tournament you were going to want to see.
00:05:22.000 So if you haven't signed up for that yet and got a whiff of this stuff, get involved.
00:05:25.000 It's freaking hilarious.
00:05:26.000 It's a joy to be a part of.
00:05:28.000 And Wesley's a genius director.
00:05:29.000 He's really easy and fun to work with.
00:05:31.000 I'm looking forward to making more.
00:05:33.000 And I'm Ian Crossland.
00:05:35.000 You know that.
00:05:35.000 See ya.
00:05:36.000 What's up, dude?
00:05:37.000 Oh, look who's back.
00:05:37.000 Hey, what's up, YouTubers?
00:05:39.000 I'm still here.
00:05:40.000 I'm still alive.
00:05:40.000 Nothing crazy happened.
00:05:41.000 Don't worry about it.
00:05:42.000 I'm at surge.com as well, by the way.
00:05:44.000 Let's get into this first story.
00:05:46.000 Wow.
00:05:47.000 Bay Area NBC station is running report questioning the circumstances of Paul Pelosi's hammer attack, which include the same details as today's show segment retracted for inaccuracies and left star reporter Miguel Almaguer suspended.
00:06:05.000 This is particularly interesting.
00:06:07.000 They say NBC News is under mounting pressure to explain its actions after suspending star reporter Miguel Almaguer over one of his Today Show segments on the Paul Pelosi hammer attack.
00:06:18.000 It took the action despite a second report on the company-owned and operated NBC Bay Area Station that repeats many of the same points in Almaguer's report.
00:06:27.000 They're going to mention that NBC removed the footage from its website hours after airing on November 4th.
00:06:31.000 Now, we do have another report from Fox News.
00:06:34.000 And this is what they mentioned that's very, very interesting.
00:06:36.000 I want to read this one.
00:06:37.000 NBC News national correspondent reported on November 4th for the Today Show that police didn't know they were responding to the Pelosi residence.
00:06:48.000 Pelosi opened the door for police but didn't attempt to escape or declare an emergency and even walked away from law enforcement and toward his eventual attacker.
00:06:56.000 They go on to mention, last Friday, exactly one week after Almaguer's report was mysteriously retracted, with little public detail, NBC San Francisco local affiliate, which is branded as NBC Bay Area, aired an explosive report with highly similar details indicating Pelosi opened the door for police and didn't immediately attempt to escape.
00:07:18.000 So, the initial story, someone broke into the Pelosi residence, screamed, where's Nancy, in his underwear with zip ties, and struck Paul on the head.
00:07:27.000 Now, that then turned into, okay, he was actually clothed.
00:07:31.000 Okay, a third man opened the door, but we don't know who it was.
00:07:33.000 They changed the story again.
00:07:35.000 And now, the Today Show comes out and says, Paul Pelosi opens the door, doesn't try to escape, walks back to the guy who says there's nothing going on, and then who strikes him.
00:07:45.000 And now the story is being confirmed, again I should say, after the Today Show retracted, not even formally retracted, just deleted the video.
00:07:56.000 I have to wonder.
00:07:57.000 What really happened?
00:07:59.000 Of course, the theory from the right is that it was a late-night either drug deal or love romp gone wrong, and the police responded, and, you know, lover's quarrel of some sort.
00:08:10.000 I think drug deal makes more sense, which is why they're, you know, look, it's 3 a.m., Paul Pelosi's like, send in the crazy weirdo guy who's got the drugs, fight breaks out of her cash or something like that, who knows.
00:08:21.000 Or, Maybe the police didn't know they were spawning to Paul Pelosi's house.
00:08:26.000 They opened the door and they attacked Paul Pelosi because he was in his underwear.
00:08:30.000 And they assumed it must be a crazy guy or something.
00:08:33.000 Maybe the cops are the ones who hit him and then they're trying to cover up their story.
00:08:37.000 I feel like if the cops hit him we would be seeing like Defund the Police Part 2.
00:08:43.000 Nobody knows what happened.
00:08:43.000 Right.
00:08:44.000 It sounds like two drunk dudes at a bar, like just, you know, people can get belligerent late night when they're both really hammered and they don't even know what they're talking about.
00:08:51.000 The one guy just gets angry and then they're like, and then they just start to bump into each other.
00:08:56.000 Like, that's what it sounds like.
00:08:57.000 Well, David and Paul were doing.
00:08:59.000 Well personally I'm just sick of the speculating I don't ... want to speculate anymore release the body cam footage ... release the surveillance footage then we can actually ... know what happened here otherwise you don't give the ... government any benefit of the doubt we're talking about ... career criminals who parade themselves around like some ... high-level politicians and officials they're not these ... people are up to some really nasty stuff we're talking about ... so much corruption within the Pelosi family we're talking ... about so much money that they earned off of America's back ...
00:09:26.000 When it comes to government officials and people connected to them, we should always think the worst possible scenario.
00:09:32.000 Always go with that until we actually have some actual evidence.
00:09:34.000 They were doing unspeakable things to small babies.
00:09:37.000 They were sacrificing children.
00:09:39.000 Let's just go with that.
00:09:40.000 If we're going to be speculating what happened here, let's think of the worst thing, because we shouldn't be giving government any kind of credence, any kind of leeway here.
00:09:47.000 And with this story being so crazy insane, they were doing god-awful things to small babies.
00:09:52.000 That's it.
00:09:54.000 I just assume the worst, I guess.
00:09:55.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:09:56.000 And you should with government.
00:09:57.000 Because what government does is probably usually a lot worse than what we actually know actually really happens.
00:10:01.000 But Paul's not government.
00:10:02.000 He's only government adjacent.
00:10:04.000 Government adjacent.
00:10:05.000 Well, that's just as bad.
00:10:06.000 That's just as bad.
00:10:08.000 How did he make all of his money?
00:10:09.000 Because of his connections to government, obviously.
00:10:12.000 Allegedly.
00:10:12.000 It's pretty clear.
00:10:13.000 Allegedly.
00:10:14.000 It's not even alleged.
00:10:15.000 They make better calls on the stock market than Warren Buffett, okay?
00:10:18.000 You don't get that lucky.
00:10:19.000 It's impossible to be that lucky like the Pelosi's have been.
00:10:22.000 So, come on.
00:10:23.000 We know what it is.
00:10:24.000 Maybe this guy, this DePopp guy, was his inside source on Wall Street, and that's how he was making his money.
00:10:30.000 And he was telling him to invest in FTX, and Paul was like, no, you screwed me!
00:10:35.000 That's the problem, is that we're able to speculate on this story.
00:10:39.000 We're able to sit here and try to figure out what happened, and how did everybody get in their underwear, and why weren't the cops there, and the third in line to the presidency, there's... How did everybody get in their underwear?
00:10:52.000 Yeah, where did the hammer come from?
00:10:54.000 And I can't believe that nobody is selling hammers online, like the Paul Pelosi hammer.
00:10:59.000 It's pink and it vibrates.
00:11:01.000 Right, yeah.
00:11:02.000 It'd help you win a chess match, perhaps, if you deploy it correctly.
00:11:06.000 There you go.
00:11:06.000 There's some insider humor here.
00:11:10.000 But that's the thing.
00:11:12.000 All of this speculation could be over with if the government released the body cam and released the actual information that is out there and give us the clear story.
00:11:23.000 And we are not getting the clear story, once again.
00:11:25.000 This is Paul Pelosi.
00:11:26.000 Is this an excuse for Nancy to retire and try and score points?
00:11:30.000 I don't understand what happened that they're trying to cover it up.
00:11:34.000 It really seems to me like it was something that went wrong.
00:11:36.000 Like you said, maybe it was a bad drug deal or they were getting weird together.
00:11:39.000 Who knows?
00:11:40.000 And then the cleanup team came in.
00:11:42.000 They were just like, all right, what are we going to do?
00:11:44.000 We got to make this look like something.
00:11:46.000 And then the script writers came in and said, all right, well, let's make it like this.
00:11:53.000 Because think about how much power is being wielded by these people.
00:11:56.000 And many times Hollywood does work with the Pentagon when it comes to scripting narratives.
00:12:01.000 We have seen time and time again something happens in Iraq and they're like, okay, what can we say actually happened?
00:12:07.000 What really happened?
00:12:08.000 Those are two completely different things.
00:12:10.000 How can we use this event and change it for the best PR purposes?
00:12:14.000 We saw that with Jessica Lynch.
00:12:15.000 We saw that with Mainline Hollywood directors and producers getting involved ... in saying you know what this story of of the Iraqis taking ... her to a hospital and trying to help her doesn't really fit our ... narrative let's send in the tanks and let's say that they ... were holding her hostage again they made so much things ... up when it came to war they make so much things up when it ... comes to just our everyday life everything from them ... should be seen as fake.
00:12:40.000 Nothing should be believed by government or the authorities until we actually have some real-life evidence that we can back up their statements on because they are pathological liars, satanic individuals, some of them, that do awful things that we can't even imagine how terrible they are.
00:12:54.000 Okay, you know, I'm sitting here and I see this story, and it's a crazy story, and I'm trying to figure out why whatever it is they're doing matters so much they don't want anyone to know about it.
00:13:05.000 Like, they suspended a star reporter from the Today Show for reporting what now sounds to be fact.
00:13:11.000 What is so important about this moment, this incident, that they don't want us to know about it?
00:13:16.000 This is the crazy thing.
00:13:18.000 Because I kind of look at this and I'm like, whatever Paul Pelosi's doing, I don't care about, right?
00:13:24.000 But to go to this degree?
00:13:26.000 It sounds like something they were doing must have mattered, like politically or something.
00:13:30.000 I think it's an effort to fend off who these people really are, the depravity.
00:13:37.000 They just don't want their true colors to show, even though we all know it.
00:13:43.000 Obviously this man It abuses some sort of substances.
00:13:47.000 There's something going on.
00:13:49.000 These people are not on the up-and-up.
00:13:50.000 At least booze, from what we know about publicly, on the record.
00:13:53.000 He got busted driving drunk, like, within six months ago or something, and that's a problem.
00:13:58.000 If someone, especially in their 80s, is driving home drunk enough to get... I mean, not even drunk enough, just drunk in general.
00:14:04.000 I've driven drunk a couple times in my life.
00:14:06.000 It was probably some of the worst... I was, like, near suicidal at that period of my life, too.
00:14:09.000 Like, step on the gas and just wait for it to happen, kind of suicidal.
00:14:13.000 And that is a bad state of mind to drive drunk.
00:14:16.000 If you don't have that kind of self-control where you can be like, actually I have to drive, I'm gonna put it down, that indicates a big problem psychologically.
00:14:24.000 So I imagine the guys got obviously some problems.
00:14:27.000 Look, the midterms.
00:14:28.000 This happens right before the midterms.
00:14:31.000 They pull the story.
00:14:32.000 After the midterms, story pops back up on an NBC affiliate.
00:14:35.000 It could just really be it makes the Pelosi's look freaky and weird, and it was bad for Democrats.
00:14:42.000 Republicans were running the story that there was a gay love romp or something, and they wanted to shut it down.
00:14:47.000 So NBC colluding, you know, or seeking to help, maybe not colluding, Democrats pulls the story until after the midterms.
00:14:54.000 That could be it.
00:14:55.000 It could really be as simple as Paul Pelosi is a weirdo who does freaky things in the middle of the night.
00:14:58.000 Yeah, I think that's for sure.
00:14:59.000 I mean, not for sure, but I think that's the case.
00:15:01.000 But the connection to January 6th, see how it's connected to January 6th?
00:15:05.000 He walked in there and was saying, where's Nancy?
00:15:08.000 Where's Nancy?
00:15:09.000 Oh, well, of course he was saying that.
00:15:11.000 That's another point.
00:15:13.000 That's all those people are going to hear.
00:15:14.000 That's all the libs are going to hear.
00:15:16.000 Like, oh!
00:15:17.000 But so the question is, did they twist an existing story to make it sound like insurrection?
00:15:22.000 Sure.
00:15:23.000 Or did they fabricate a story to try and win points before an election?
00:15:27.000 I think it's exactly what I said before.
00:15:30.000 Something happened.
00:15:32.000 The truth happened that was something that has to do with depravity.
00:15:36.000 Nobody broke into that house.
00:15:39.000 Nobody just broke into that house, started walking around with a hammer, held up in the bathroom.
00:15:43.000 That's craziness.
00:15:44.000 it's not you know it keeps changing so at this point i'm not inclined to believe what their version is yeah and
00:15:50.000 the fact that paul pelosi was not threatened when the cops into the door and
00:15:52.000 that's the new detail now being confirmed because you know clearly uses a get
00:15:56.000 news is that he's got to be cameras in that house or is that if that he was
00:15:59.000 running around his underwear gone where's nancy
00:16:01.000 Where's Nancy?
00:16:02.000 We would see it over and over and over.
00:16:04.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:16:05.000 For their propaganda purposes, they would of course weaponize that footage and have it everywhere so we couldn't ignore it.
00:16:12.000 We would have to see it everywhere.
00:16:13.000 And we saw the corporate media after this being like, it's the conspiracy theorists that are the problem here.
00:16:18.000 They're the ones that are crazy.
00:16:19.000 They're the ones that we have to stop.
00:16:20.000 They're the ones that we have to go over.
00:16:22.000 We have to make sure that people can't be able to speak to each other.
00:16:24.000 And now they're punishing journalists like this Miguel reporter.
00:16:28.000 By the way, this reporter, Miguel Alamargar, hasn't tweeted since November 4th.
00:16:33.000 He's the one that got suspended for originally reporting the story which we talked about on the show that was specifically based on police sources.
00:16:40.000 What's happened to him?
00:16:41.000 I want to hear from this guy.
00:16:42.000 Miguel, if you're out there, what's going on here?
00:16:45.000 Because this is absolutely crazy what kind of story you're involved in.
00:16:48.000 I'll tell you about conspiracy theories.
00:16:49.000 There was a tweet I can't remember who—I saw this was a verified Twitter account saying that Putin is pushing an insane conspiracy theory that the missile that hit Poland was Ukrainian.
00:16:59.000 We can't allow Russian disinformation, blah blah blah.
00:17:03.000 Sure enough, turns out even the West is now saying exactly that.
00:17:07.000 So we'll definitely get into the Ukraine stuff in a minute, but I just want to point that out.
00:17:10.000 When they come out and they're like, it's a conspiracy theory, don't believe it, typically that means, you know, I better look into that because you can't believe these people.
00:17:18.000 But I think Politics may have played a role.
00:17:21.000 Let's jump into the next story, because I think it's funny that the lead for this podcast was not, Republicans take control of the House, NBC News projects.
00:17:31.000 So it is now formally confirmed.
00:17:34.000 We knew this was going to happen.
00:17:36.000 That's why we were all saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it.
00:17:38.000 Republicans won the House.
00:17:39.000 But now it's formalized.
00:17:41.000 There's no recounts on this.
00:17:42.000 Nothing's going to change.
00:17:43.000 The only question now is, how many seats will the Republicans actually gain in the end of this?
00:17:49.000 It's looking like 219, but it could actually be a little bit more, depending on recounts, and we'll see.
00:17:53.000 But I just want to point out, this is massive.
00:17:56.000 They're already talking about investigating Fauci.
00:17:58.000 And the lead for this show is like, Paul Pelosi has weird, you know, lovers, tryst, romp, hammer attack, or something like that.
00:18:06.000 Because I kind of, well, I guess, I guess we kind of knew the Republicans were going to take the house.
00:18:10.000 But the question that I guess for everybody else is, how excited are you on a scale of one to 10?
00:18:16.000 I am three only because when I think of this issues and what we're going through right now, we've talked a lot about left and right and blue and red, but I'm starting to think it's actually like an economic plan that's happening right now.
00:18:28.000 It's very It's complicated.
00:18:30.000 There's lots of people with lots of different ideologies making moves and trying to take control, and they want us to think that it's a binary thing between them and us.
00:18:37.000 But really, it's a bunch of different economic pressures.
00:18:41.000 So this stuff is kind of like the mask that we are talking about that is being created, in my opinion, by the villain.
00:18:49.000 If it's a villain, you know, if there's going to be a villain.
00:18:52.000 Maybe I'm the villain.
00:18:53.000 One to ten, how much I'm excited for the Republicans?
00:18:56.000 Is that what you're asking?
00:18:57.000 For them gaining control of the House.
00:19:00.000 Zero.
00:19:00.000 I don't think it's going to matter.
00:19:02.000 I didn't say zero to ten.
00:19:03.000 I said one through ten, Luke.
00:19:04.000 Come on.
00:19:06.000 Zero point one.
00:19:07.000 He won't do it.
00:19:09.000 Negative one.
00:19:10.000 They're not going to change anything.
00:19:11.000 They're not going to do anything.
00:19:12.000 And the Republicans have been pathetic.
00:19:13.000 You don't think they're going to go after Fauci?
00:19:16.000 In the House?
00:19:17.000 Yes.
00:19:17.000 They have subpoena power and investigatory power now.
00:19:19.000 I'd be very surprised if they do.
00:19:21.000 They've already started talking about doing it.
00:19:22.000 Come on, you've got Thomas Massey in the House.
00:19:25.000 He'll do something.
00:19:26.000 Rand Paul is apparently having meetings as well.
00:19:28.000 He's in the Senate.
00:19:29.000 I know he doesn't have the same power, but...
00:19:31.000 It's not looking too good.
00:19:32.000 What do you think, Dad?
00:19:33.000 They did choose McCarthy and McConnell for leadership.
00:19:36.000 Exactly.
00:19:37.000 I echo Luke's sentiment.
00:19:39.000 I would go with a one.
00:19:40.000 I just don't think, it just does, I don't think that they, I hate saying they, I just don't think that they will let us win.
00:19:49.000 I think it leans towards like the QAnon stuff, like where you go, alright we got the house now, we got all our people in, here we go, we're gonna investigate, Fauci's going down, we're going after this guy, we're coming out with our hammers.
00:20:05.000 Touche, touche.
00:20:06.000 You know, and once again, it's setting us up for this disappointment when we need to be saying, looking at the reality of it.
00:20:15.000 Unless, well, look, I'm certainly not a one.
00:20:19.000 I'm not gonna pretend like Republicans coming in, pushing McCarthy and McConnell to the top again is any kind of real victory, but 31 members of the House did reject McCarthy, so there may be some leverage from the, I think it was mostly the Freedom Caucus, that they were basically like, nope, Yeah.
00:20:35.000 I think we'll see some stuff.
00:20:37.000 Look, we're not gonna win everything instantly, but I'm feeling pretty good.
00:20:41.000 I mean, look, it's better than Democrats doing January 6 hearings.
00:20:44.000 I agree.
00:20:45.000 And I think, and I'm not completely sure on the process, but the vote for leadership doesn't take place until January, I think, until they reconvene.
00:20:55.000 You mean for the House?
00:20:57.000 Yeah.
00:21:01.000 Oh, it's right, it's nomination, I think.
00:21:03.000 Is that what happened?
00:21:04.000 I think so.
00:21:05.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:21:06.000 I think McConnell, he did win, didn't he?
00:21:09.000 I don't know.
00:21:09.000 So I'm fact-checking.
00:21:10.000 I'm pretty sure they've already had the vote.
00:21:13.000 Matt Gaetz, I think, maybe not Matt Gaetz, and someone, I can't remember who in the Senate, were trying to get it postponed, saying like, I think it might have been Hawley, I'm not sure.
00:21:20.000 Yeah.
00:21:21.000 Saying like, we should wait on this, but I'm pretty sure they did.
00:21:23.000 Yeah, maybe I'm thinking of the House.
00:21:26.000 It says, Mitch McConnell wins secret ballot election to continue leading Senate Republicans seven hours ago.
00:21:30.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:31.000 From CNN.
00:21:33.000 That's just my wishful thinking.
00:21:35.000 I've got like this feeling like if we're talking about the future of humanity, that it's a big global project.
00:21:40.000 And we as Americans, a lot of us are stuck in the American perspective where we're only looking at ourselves.
00:21:46.000 And that if we can do this, then the whole world will win.
00:21:48.000 But like, I think a lot of people in the rest of the world are looking at us like goofballs obsessed with the circus that we're in right now.
00:21:54.000 And like, hey, you know, let's exit the circus and look around.
00:21:58.000 Sort of.
00:21:58.000 So, one to ten.
00:21:59.000 What are you, Tim?
00:22:01.000 For McCarthy.
00:22:02.000 Well, so, for McCarthy?
00:22:05.000 I mean, this is essentially what you tried to get me to answer to.
00:22:07.000 No, no, no.
00:22:08.000 This is why I said zero.
00:22:09.000 I'm excited that there's a small handful of Republicans who can have some pressure ability.
00:22:15.000 But I'll put it this way.
00:22:17.000 If one is, I'm extremely disappointed.
00:22:19.000 Ten is, I'm excited as I ever have been.
00:22:21.000 And five is kind of, eh, I'll say six.
00:22:24.000 You know?
00:22:25.000 Like, when you say one, you're saying like, I'm mad about this, this is the worst thing ever, this is bad for us.
00:22:30.000 Five is where you're like, meh.
00:22:32.000 I say six.
00:22:33.000 I'm cautiously optimistic that the circumstances we have to look forward to with Democrats is more January 6th nonsense, waste of our time, things that no one cares about.
00:22:43.000 With Republicans, it's like, okay, I guess, hopefully, they'll start talking about Fauci or something.
00:22:47.000 Maybe not, but whatever.
00:22:48.000 The January 6th stuff is done.
00:22:50.000 It's subjective because I just don't see any kind of larger solutions out there I don't I don't see them making life better for the average American especially with McCarty.
00:22:57.000 Just controlling everything he's going to be protecting a lot of people inside of the establishment and making sure that the Republicans aren't too wild aren't too crazy don't make too much.
00:23:06.000 Crazy moves.
00:23:08.000 So he's there to keep everyone in line, and I think that's exactly what they're going to be doing here.
00:23:13.000 And it's not like they have a lot of wiggle room here.
00:23:15.000 They barely were able to win this.
00:23:16.000 So as far as my optimism in politics, it's none.
00:23:19.000 My optimism is with the people of the United States.
00:23:22.000 It's with local officials, local individuals taking charge of their life and being responsible for themselves rather than giving all of their power and authority and money to politicians that don't give a damn about them.
00:23:31.000 Okay, okay.
00:23:32.000 No, I agree on a lot of those points.
00:23:34.000 We have this other story from TimCast.com that goes along with this.
00:23:37.000 House Democrats Maneuver to Stop Trump's 2024 Presidential Bid.
00:23:41.000 House Rep Cites the 14th Amendment's Insurrection Clause as Basis to Deny Return to High Office.
00:23:47.000 This is what we have to look forward to if the Democrats retained control of the House.
00:23:52.000 That's a good point.
00:23:53.000 They'd be just going, the 14th Amendment, man!
00:23:55.000 They'd be banging on the walls.
00:23:57.000 We ought to pad the walls to help them out.
00:23:59.000 You think they can't get a Republican to flip in the House?
00:24:01.000 I think they can.
00:24:02.000 I think they still could go forward with this and then they just go to the Republican and be like, you know that trip you made to the island?
00:24:08.000 You know those videotapes we have on you?
00:24:10.000 Are you going to vote with us, or do you want some larger expose on TMZ?
00:24:15.000 What do you want there?
00:24:16.000 Or they'll go to McCarthy and be like, look, McCarthy, we'll give you, you know, something.
00:24:20.000 We'll give you a little bit, but we want to make sure this happens.
00:24:22.000 McCarthy would be for this.
00:24:23.000 We got to understand this.
00:24:24.000 The old Republican base would be for this.
00:24:26.000 So this is why, again, I don't have a lot of hope.
00:24:29.000 Right.
00:24:29.000 And meanwhile, they have the media in their pocket.
00:24:32.000 And so as they're doing that, they're churning out the narrative and they're just once again corralling the truth.
00:24:38.000 Which puts us in a very difficult position when we have things like nuclear war, what's happening in the medical side of things, what's happening to all of us.
00:24:48.000 Our country is being destroyed.
00:24:52.000 By the Democrats and Republicans.
00:24:54.000 By both sides.
00:24:55.000 By both parties.
00:24:55.000 It's a duopoly.
00:24:56.000 It's a two-party system that pretends to be fighting each other most of the time.
00:25:00.000 Sometimes they really do fight, but most of the time it's all pretend.
00:25:02.000 It's all WWE.
00:25:04.000 It's all entertainment.
00:25:05.000 It's all showmanship.
00:25:06.000 But that feels a little archaic to me.
00:25:07.000 I mean, I agree mostly, but since Donald Trump got into office, we started seeing a whole bunch of Libertarian and America First candidates.
00:25:15.000 I'm not saying they overlap.
00:25:16.000 They're both anti-establishment factions.
00:25:18.000 The House Freedom Caucus, where Ron DeSantis, I believe he helped found it, has been pushing back and expanding within the Republican Party.
00:25:26.000 So that's what I'm looking at.
00:25:27.000 Obviously, I'm not excited for Mitch McConnell.
00:25:30.000 No one likes this guy.
00:25:31.000 This is the funny thing.
00:25:32.000 I pulled up the civics polls and went through every single demographic, not a single demographic views him favorably, not even Republicans.
00:25:42.000 How's this guy leading the charge?
00:25:45.000 Because they're all cowards.
00:25:47.000 Exactly.
00:25:48.000 There's a reason FTX was donating not only overwhelmingly to Democrats, but also to the GOP.
00:25:54.000 People don't forget.
00:25:55.000 When it comes to this larger FTX story, which is, I think, very important, you don't just see the Democrats being bought off here.
00:26:01.000 You see about $23 million going specifically to the Republicans as well.
00:26:06.000 So a big money piece Plays a lot of influence in our politics and we have to ... understand once we get rid of that influence once we get ... rid of that money then we can actually have some real ... conversations but at the end of the day these ... representatives aren't representing us they're ... representing a special interest that bought them off ... paid them off and they're going to be doing their bidding ... no matter what.
00:26:24.000 And there is some infighting, sure, but even before that, there was the Tea Party, there was essence of people saying, this is crazy that we're dealing with these two parties here that are controlling our dialogue, that are controlling our life.
00:26:35.000 We need to stop this because this is how they fool and kid everyone to vote for the lesser of two evils, while always presenting evil.
00:26:42.000 And I'm just sick of it.
00:26:43.000 I'm not going to sit here and defend the GOP leadership or their party or anything like that.
00:26:47.000 I'm only excited for the small faction of like the Freedom Caucus and the people who are actually pushing back.
00:26:53.000 Obviously, the fact that they've chosen McCarthy and McConnell for leadership, it shows you exactly where this Congress is going to be.
00:27:01.000 And it's unfortunate.
00:27:03.000 That's reality.
00:27:05.000 You're going to get a whole bunch of Republicans saying like, no, no, no, we can't go off investigating Joe Biden because we're going to take the high road and just let him do whatever they want.
00:27:13.000 Or it's going to be more like, we got to take the high road on this and not investigate.
00:27:17.000 Heaven help me if they find out how I was involved.
00:27:21.000 There definitely are a lot of good people that are making inroads, that have been elected, that are making decisions based on the right things and not that videotape coming out of that trip you made last week or how much money they're going to get or things like that.
00:27:40.000 They're working for the treasure here on earth.
00:27:44.000 You think there are people that have actually good intentions and aren't bought off?
00:27:47.000 I think so, sure.
00:27:48.000 Somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene, I think, you know... Thomas Massey.
00:27:52.000 Yeah, sure.
00:27:53.000 Both independently wealthy, I think, too.
00:27:55.000 Marjorie already had a successful business when she ran.
00:27:57.000 I think Thomas also... I don't think Thomas Massey's rich.
00:28:01.000 Okay, I don't know what his sister's situation was.
00:28:02.000 He's got like a farm.
00:28:03.000 Yeah, he's a... MIT, he built the cluck capacitor.
00:28:06.000 That's it.
00:28:06.000 Yeah, the chicken thing.
00:28:07.000 An inventor.
00:28:08.000 My friend has one of those in New Hampshire, Jane Yu, and he's an awesome human being.
00:28:11.000 Cluck capacitor.
00:28:12.000 He builds cluck capacitors.
00:28:14.000 They're incredible.
00:28:14.000 I said this before on the show, I talked to Thomas Massey after he was on the show last time, and he was like, dude, Congress is, it's like a, I don't know how he exactly described it, he's like, it's like a fraternity, it's like a, not a fraternity, but like, it's like high school.
00:28:25.000 Yeah.
00:28:25.000 Like people emotionally yelling and like, I'm not gonna talk to that bitch.
00:28:29.000 You know, like that kind of stuff.
00:28:30.000 And he's like an engineer scientist and is like, we, this is insane.
00:28:33.000 We need more science.
00:28:35.000 We need more engineering.
00:28:37.000 And he's just like, wow.
00:28:38.000 But you know, you do it anyway, because you know, you're called to it for whatever reason.
00:28:42.000 But let me ask you guys this.
00:28:44.000 On a scale of one to 10, how excited are you that Trudeau is not our leader?
00:28:49.000 We have the story from the Daily Mail.
00:28:50.000 President Xi humiliates Trudeau as he is caught on camera tearing strips off Canadian PM.
00:28:56.000 That their conversation at the G20 has been leaked to the papers.
00:28:59.000 It's not appropriate.
00:29:01.000 This was the most epic cringe I've seen.
00:29:05.000 And let's be real.
00:29:05.000 So in this video, Trudeau is trying to talk to Xi Jinping.
00:29:09.000 Cameras pop up.
00:29:11.000 And man, Trudeau looks weak.
00:29:13.000 It looks like a mouse staring at an elephant.
00:29:16.000 Xi Jinping won't even look at his face.
00:29:18.000 That's how little respect he's giving him.
00:29:21.000 Look, I get it.
00:29:22.000 Canada's a small nation.
00:29:23.000 Xi Jinping's probably like, why is this guy thinking he can talk to me?
00:29:26.000 But talk about humiliating.
00:29:28.000 I don't know.
00:29:28.000 Did you guys see this one?
00:29:29.000 Yeah.
00:29:30.000 It's definitely an example of a language barrier.
00:29:32.000 Poor Trudeau.
00:29:34.000 The poor guy.
00:29:35.000 I mean, he probably had his socks ruffled from this interaction.
00:29:39.000 That's probably the most confrontation he got in his entire life.
00:29:43.000 And this is sad for him, mainly because He loves China.
00:29:47.000 He talked about how he adored China, being able to change the economy on the dime.
00:29:51.000 He adores what China is doing and is replicating those same policies inside of Canada, of course, imprisoning his protesters, debanking people who dare speak out against him, disarming the local population there, and now, of course, offering euthanasia.
00:30:06.000 To of course the poor people there and the depressed ... people there who does it what kind of political leader ... does that despotic leaders and when he was looking to see his ... his his his his beautiful Overlord that he wants to ... replicate all of the policies he just got smacked.
00:30:21.000 down right in the face.
00:30:22.000 And it was incredible to see the body language there, because it said a lot.
00:30:26.000 And when Xi told him off, you see you see Trudeau be like, I hope you have peaceful, rational discussions in the future.
00:30:31.000 And then Xi's like, what?
00:30:33.000 And then he walks off like Forrest Gump.
00:30:36.000 It was pathetic.
00:30:37.000 It was sad.
00:30:38.000 And it shows you how weak a lot of these individuals are that do create the bad times that we have to live through.
00:30:43.000 It's kind of like when someone raises a pet alligator.
00:30:46.000 Some people are like, I'm going to have the most dangerous animals pet.
00:30:48.000 And then one day the animal grows up and bites him in the leg and like, and they have to euthanize the animal.
00:30:52.000 And you just see that, like the disbelief and sadness in the owner's face, like.
00:30:56.000 This can't happen!
00:30:57.000 This can't happen!
00:30:57.000 Remember when the monkey ate that woman's face?
00:31:01.000 I feel really bad for Trudeau.
00:31:03.000 I do.
00:31:04.000 I feel a deep sadness.
00:31:05.000 It reminds me of that time that, I don't know if this story is true because I'm having trouble finding source on it, but it's Elon Musk was asked about Neil Armstrong criticizing him and Elon cried because, you know, Elon really looked up to Neil Armstrong, had this dream of expanding the space program and all that stuff, and to hear You know, that one of your heroes was mocking or criticizing you.
00:31:26.000 It must be so brutal for Trudeau to finally get to meet his hero, only to be just poo-pooed and shoot aside.
00:31:33.000 Must have been truly devastating for the man.
00:31:35.000 What was it exactly that happened that caused this conversation?
00:31:35.000 Absolutely.
00:31:39.000 Did you guys hear, like, something was leaked?
00:31:41.000 It was mad because they were supposed to be having private conversations between them the topics of those conversation was leaked to the Canadian press obviously from Trudeau who didn't keep his word and and promised to keep conversations secret and private between the two so this is also something that Emmanuel Macron did to Vladimir Putin Vladimir Putin was also mad at him.
00:32:00.000 Because Emmanuel Macron had a documentary film crew recording some of the conversations that they thought was private, that they thought wasn't going to be discussed to the general public, and they were talking very frankly.
00:32:10.000 And this shows you that Trudeau wasn't a man of his word, wasn't a man of honor, because they agreed.
00:32:15.000 Hey, what we say here stays between us.
00:32:18.000 It was leaked to the media by Trudeau.
00:32:18.000 It didn't.
00:32:20.000 And then Trudeau's like... Trudeau leaked it!
00:32:22.000 uh... someone in in the to do administration if not to do himself
00:32:26.000 initially he was like yes not cool i'm i'm paraphrasing was like yeah that's
00:32:29.000 not cool dude and then true does like we like to have a open dialogue and make sure and she's in
00:32:35.000 his life buzzer like to turn it walks up with a term of open
00:32:38.000 dialogue that's not a concept that i'm familiar with no eyes what someone should
00:32:41.000 take that that interview of the on must crying in deep fake
00:32:44.000 trudeau's face on it and then have the interview ask the question like
00:32:48.000 you met your hero she's in pain he was critical of your your efforts how does it make you feel and he's
00:32:55.000 like He really cried, huh?
00:32:56.000 Elon?
00:32:57.000 Yeah.
00:32:57.000 So that's the story that I read.
00:32:59.000 I remember seeing it a while ago.
00:33:00.000 I mean, I actually, I feel for Elon in that regard.
00:33:04.000 I guess the story was back in, you know, at the beginning of SpaceX, Neil Armstrong was critical of Elon Musk's attempt at a private space business.
00:33:14.000 And then sometime later, after Neil Armstrong died, Elon was asked about it.
00:33:19.000 And Elon, apparently a big hero of his, was Neil Armstrong.
00:33:23.000 I mean, that's real.
00:33:24.000 Absolutely.
00:33:24.000 That's kind of sad.
00:33:25.000 That makes me feel a little sad.
00:33:26.000 I know, me too.
00:33:27.000 That's a big bummer.
00:33:28.000 Imagine being a little kid and seeing something so profound as a moon landing and space travel and saying, when I grow up, I'm going to change the world.
00:33:34.000 And like, you look at what Elon's doing now with SpaceX and how powerful and amazing it is, and Neil Armstrong's never gonna see that because he died 10 years ago.
00:33:43.000 But leaving this world critical of Elon, that's gotta hurt, man.
00:33:47.000 So I can understand how Trudeau feels, you know, being shunned like this.
00:33:50.000 Can you imagine the bootlicking that Trudeau's gonna have to do now to get into the good graces of the Chinese king?
00:33:57.000 Or maybe he'll snap back.
00:33:58.000 Oh yeah, the other night, Donald Trump, this is last night, referred to Xi Jinping as the king of China, king for life, and Xi Jinping's like, I'm not the king.
00:34:06.000 He's like, well, you have all the power, you're in for life, so you're basically the king.
00:34:08.000 He's actually a viceroy.
00:34:10.000 This is when the emperor would designate someone to become a king for life.
00:34:13.000 They're actually the viceroy.
00:34:14.000 They don't have familial, they can't pass the land onto their kid.
00:34:21.000 Upon death, it goes back to the empire, and then the emperor can designate another viceroy to lead as the king instead.
00:34:26.000 But there's no emperor.
00:34:27.000 Well, there's the CCP as the party is in control, and there's probably one of them.
00:34:31.000 It's a bunch of oligarchs, I think.
00:34:33.000 Sure, sure.
00:34:33.000 I think... I like viceroy.
00:34:35.000 I wonder if there's a better word, though, because the emperor would determine the viceroy.
00:34:38.000 The viceroy would die, and they'd choose someone else.
00:34:40.000 Or not.
00:34:41.000 Or they would take the land.
00:34:42.000 So it doesn't have to be a family thing to... Correct.
00:34:42.000 Right, right.
00:34:42.000 Or not.
00:34:46.000 Anyone could become the viceroy.
00:34:46.000 Anybody.
00:34:47.000 ...be a successor.
00:34:48.000 If there's no emperor... There are no secession rules with viceroys.
00:34:50.000 If there's no emperor, we could say viceroy, but maybe there's a better word for it.
00:34:55.000 I just don't know.
00:34:55.000 I mean, maybe there's a better word to describe.
00:34:57.000 It's not king, but you know, viceroy.
00:35:00.000 Viceroy Xi.
00:35:02.000 Call him that.
00:35:03.000 It's better than president.
00:35:05.000 The thing about president, we talked with the, I think, I can't remember who we had on.
00:35:07.000 We had some China experts and they said president is the wrong word.
00:35:12.000 Chairman.
00:35:12.000 Chairman is the correct word.
00:35:13.000 Right.
00:35:14.000 But then all of a sudden the media started calling him president for some reason.
00:35:18.000 Because they're trying to normalize it, make it seem like they're trying to equate what he is to our president who's elected.
00:35:24.000 I heard that they changed the definition of the word president in China to make it so that what he was, and I don't want to get this wrong, did you hear anything about this?
00:35:31.000 Wait, did you say Sith Lord?
00:35:33.000 Yes, they changed the definition of Sith Lord in China.
00:35:36.000 They changed the definition of something, this is what I heard about six years ago, so that he could now be literally called the president and it made sense, whereas like 30 years ago the word meant something else.
00:35:45.000 Chairman.
00:35:46.000 So just to be clear, in 2013 Trudeau said that he most admires China when asked specifically which country he admires.
00:35:46.000 Yeah.
00:35:53.000 He said, quote, there's a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say we need to go green, we need to start, you know, investing in solar.
00:36:07.000 And then he went on and of course saying there is flexibility that I know Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who was Prime Minister at the time, Quote, must dream about having a dictatorship where you can do whatever you wanted.
00:36:19.000 That I find quite interesting.
00:36:20.000 That's a direct quote from Justin Trudeau from 2013.
00:36:24.000 And then just about 10 years later, he meets his hero and it's disappointing.
00:36:28.000 He's probably bawling his eyes out.
00:36:30.000 With fire, you get burned, you know?
00:36:31.000 And this happened publicly, so you can imagine what happens not publicly.
00:36:35.000 Because you could see Z and the translator.
00:36:37.000 The translator even kind of moved out of the way when the cameras were filming so that we could get Trudeau's face in the interaction.
00:36:43.000 The translator was aware of the camera.
00:36:45.000 He was like, we need this on tape.
00:36:46.000 We need the world to see this.
00:36:47.000 So this is what's happening publicly.
00:36:49.000 What's happening behind the scenes when the cameras aren't there?
00:36:52.000 You can only imagine how much more brazen, how much more brutal these politicians are to each other And I wouldn't be surprised if she went up to Chido and just slapped him up a couple times, saying, listen here, boy!
00:37:04.000 You're gonna do as I say!
00:37:05.000 And Chido's like, yes, sir, yes, I will, yes, no problem!
00:37:09.000 And I could actually see that happening.
00:37:11.000 Again, that's not my own theory.
00:37:12.000 I could be wrong.
00:37:13.000 I wanted to do a Winnie-the-Pooh joke, but I don't know how many people know the Winnie-the-Pooh meme about Xi Jinping.
00:37:18.000 I think they actually polled what people thought that he looked like Winnie-the-Pooh, and there were memes of it, and then in China I think they banned Winnie-the-Pooh because... Yeah, right.
00:37:25.000 And then he mentioned it on WeChat, and any photos.
00:37:28.000 Yeah.
00:37:28.000 Wow.
00:37:29.000 Yeah, that's the thing.
00:37:30.000 He looks happy.
00:37:31.000 Xi Jinping actually looks like a really happy, friendly guy when I see his face.
00:37:35.000 He does.
00:37:35.000 I feel like I could laugh it up with him.
00:37:36.000 He does.
00:37:37.000 He does.
00:37:37.000 The most annoying thing about doing segments on China is that when I'm looking for photos of individuals, You can usually see a range of emotion that represents part of the idea.
00:37:50.000 So like, if there's a story where it's like, you know, Joe Biden says X and it's like an angry thing, you could find a picture of Joe Biden like giving a finger wave with Xi Jinping.
00:38:02.000 It's like stone face on every context.
00:38:06.000 It's just a picture of him and he's just...
00:38:08.000 Just flat-faced.
00:38:09.000 Like, dude should play poker.
00:38:11.000 I'd love to see him play Texas Hold'em.
00:38:13.000 He should be like, I can't tell what he has.
00:38:14.000 Putin's similar.
00:38:15.000 It's probably because he's like ex-KGB.
00:38:16.000 It's like, do not show any emotion.
00:38:19.000 Yeah.
00:38:19.000 Your job is to hold all the cards.
00:38:21.000 Yeah, just compartmentalize.
00:38:23.000 Just keep it all in.
00:38:24.000 But you're right.
00:38:25.000 You're right with Xi Jinping.
00:38:27.000 Have you seen the montage someone made where it's all the different handshakes he's given?
00:38:32.000 And the video is going through every photo really, really fast.
00:38:36.000 And all the people are flickering and changing, and she is the exact same position the whole time through, like, hundreds of photos.
00:38:43.000 The way his body is, the way his face is, the way his hand is, like, never changes.
00:38:46.000 Yeah.
00:38:47.000 Dude's a robot or something.
00:38:48.000 Well, I bet they practice that with something, because I don't think Joe Biden—he might practice shaking people's hands, but I bet the CCP's choreographed it.
00:38:55.000 Like, they have, like, meetings, and, like, you learn how to present yourself, and how to stand, and how to be, like, represent tallness next to sluts.
00:39:01.000 Quick correction.
00:39:02.000 People are saying, Elon didn't cry, he almost cried.
00:39:02.000 Sorry, sorry, quick correction.
00:39:05.000 He almost cried.
00:39:06.000 I want to make sure we're clear, because I want to say he cried if he didn't.
00:39:09.000 He teared up, like Rachel Maddow when she found out Trump didn't collude with Russia.
00:39:13.000 What kind of person, you know, cheers on and admires a Chinese dictatorship?
00:39:19.000 A person like Bill Gates, who also admires the Chinese dictatorship, who previously, just a couple months ago, said that they were doing a great job with their zero sickness policy, and of course also does work business with the Chinese government.
00:39:32.000 And also, you know, what's it called?
00:39:34.000 What does he do?
00:39:37.000 Works officially... the thing when you give someone advice.
00:39:41.000 Consulting.
00:39:42.000 Consulting!
00:39:43.000 Yeah, sorry, I got a brain fart.
00:39:44.000 He consults the CCP as well.
00:39:46.000 Speaking of Bill Gates, I want to pull up this tweet that I have, and credit goes to Luke on this one, actually.
00:39:52.000 I saw Luke tweet this out, so I actually went and checked, and it's true.
00:39:56.000 The World Government Summit 2022, that's what it's called, has a video titled, Are We Ready for a New World Order?
00:40:04.000 In it, the host, Becky Anderson, says, Are You Ready for a New World Order?
00:40:11.000 And this channel, World Government Summit, is verified by YouTube.
00:40:16.000 And YouTube added a context fact check that says, the New World Order is a conspiracy theory which hypothesizes a secretly emerging totalitarian world government.
00:40:27.000 They have that tag on a video that is from the verified channel, World Government Summit.
00:40:34.000 You can't make this stuff up.
00:40:35.000 I'm sorry.
00:40:36.000 Many people are saying we're in a simulation.
00:40:38.000 We're in a sitcom.
00:40:41.000 What is that called?
00:40:42.000 Where it's like, you know, you're holding the book.
00:40:42.000 Double speak?
00:40:44.000 This ain't a book.
00:40:45.000 I mean, it's a book, but it's not a book.
00:40:48.000 All right?
00:40:49.000 It's the book, but it's not.
00:40:51.000 That's so good.
00:40:52.000 Yeah.
00:40:52.000 Two plus two equals five.
00:40:53.000 Accept your reality as we tell you it is.
00:40:56.000 Don't you dare question it.
00:40:57.000 We're building a new world order, but we're not building a new world order.
00:41:00.000 Because if you say we're building a new world order, you're going to get punished and screwed and demonetized and downranked in the algorithm.
00:41:05.000 And we're going to make sure no one sees your videos.
00:41:07.000 Fact check.
00:41:08.000 Fact check.
00:41:09.000 I have to apologize.
00:41:10.000 Correction, everyone.
00:41:12.000 I now recognize why I'm so wrong about this.
00:41:16.000 The context provided says, a conspiracy theory which hypothesizes a secretly emerging totalitarian world government.
00:41:24.000 This is overt, stated, and in your face.
00:41:28.000 Not a secret.
00:41:28.000 It's a different New World Order than the public-facing one.
00:41:31.000 Well, no, no, quite simply put, the conspiracy theory is that they're trying to keep it a secret.
00:41:35.000 No, they're straight up telling you they're doing it!
00:41:37.000 I almost tweeted at you last night.
00:41:39.000 I don't normally tweet right at you guys, but I think that what's happening is the global economic system is like, in order to avoid World War III, this is like Sidney's trap, we're going to just transition the new world superpower to become China.
00:41:53.000 So now they're moving, they're corrupting our economy, they printed us out of a bunch of money.
00:41:58.000 I think people really don't understand or care about the American Constitution that aren't from here.
00:42:03.000 Free speech is like, dude, I'm a corporate executive.
00:42:06.000 You don't have free speech in my corporation.
00:42:09.000 If we're going to run the world like a corporation, if we have order, we need to stamp down on some of these people that are thinking too freely.
00:42:17.000 And then there was more to the tweet.
00:42:18.000 I'll come up with it later.
00:42:20.000 How did we get to this point?
00:42:22.000 For the longest time, they said, New World Order is a conspiracy theory.
00:42:25.000 There was that meme.
00:42:27.000 Shame is over at Freedom Tunes, he did a meme correction video, it's hilarious, where he's talking about the reverse pyramid of conspiracies.
00:42:33.000 And at the top, in like their anti-Semitic, I think it's in the anti-Semitic point of no return section, this leftist wrote, New World Order is in this conspiracy theory bracket.
00:42:42.000 And I'm just like, yo, they actually have the World Government Summit.
00:42:46.000 They're telling you they're doing it.
00:42:48.000 They're not hiding it.
00:42:49.000 I think it's when Rockefeller and his buddies... It's not a theory!
00:42:51.000 Yeah, when they started the Federal Reserve in 1913 on Jekyll Island, they basically were trying to run the world.
00:42:57.000 They didn't ever want to get their companies broke up again like Standard Oil was by the U.S.
00:43:00.000 government.
00:43:01.000 They're like, we're done with this government crap.
00:43:03.000 And then we had a chance to be like, Federal Reserve's busted.
00:43:06.000 We're not using it anymore.
00:43:06.000 Like 2007, Ron Paul was like, Hey, everyone, everyone in the world focus on this.
00:43:10.000 And we kind of did, but then that was our moment to be like, all right, we're done with it.
00:43:14.000 We don't need it anymore.
00:43:15.000 People might've got killed, but we don't need it anymore.
00:43:17.000 And, uh, we didn't, we didn't do it.
00:43:19.000 We just sat around, played video.
00:43:20.000 At least I just sat around, played video games.
00:43:22.000 I was afraid I was going to get assassinated if I spoke up.
00:43:24.000 Silly me.
00:43:25.000 So I just keep my mouth shut and now I'm facing this.
00:43:28.000 So we have to speak up.
00:43:30.000 Yeah, I think the Great Reset equals the apocalypse.
00:43:34.000 I think when people think about the end of the world, or when they think about the apocalypse, they think about this great big explosion, then everybody's gone.
00:43:43.000 And certainly, perhaps, I mean that could be an outcome.
00:43:48.000 But I think that the Great Reset for us equals the apocalypse.
00:43:51.000 It's this ushering in of what we're seeing as evil.
00:43:56.000 We're not building anything.
00:43:57.000 We're destroying something, or they're destroying something, to rebuild something that we don't recognize, this postmodern, this very pagan, you know, this whole world sort of thing, this new system.
00:44:18.000 I also, you know, you think about, again, like the Islamic religion, where the apocalypse has to come in order for their savior to come back.
00:44:30.000 I think that's true for Christianity too, right?
00:44:32.000 Like, there are cultists...
00:44:33.000 Yes, absolutely.
00:44:34.000 They're trying to invoke Revelation.
00:44:36.000 Absolutely, sure.
00:44:37.000 In some corners of Christianity, yes, you want to sort of root for the apocalypse for our Savior to come back.
00:44:45.000 But it's just, everything trends towards destruction.
00:44:48.000 We're not building anything.
00:44:51.000 You know, we were just talking about Trudeau and what was in the news today about... I forget what the acronym for it is.
00:44:59.000 It's like government assisted death or something.
00:45:04.000 MADE.
00:45:05.000 Yeah, it's called MADE.
00:45:05.000 What is that?
00:45:05.000 Medically assisted...
00:45:10.000 Something dying, yeah.
00:45:12.000 Induced death or something like that?
00:45:15.000 It's an awful, awful thing.
00:45:18.000 Medical assistance in dying?
00:45:20.000 M.A.D.?
00:45:21.000 Like, that's the solution?
00:45:23.000 There are people who are in pain, people who are... Because Canada's doing this, I think.
00:45:27.000 And there are people posting on Tumblr and forums saying, as soon as I'm 18, I'm getting it right away.
00:45:33.000 Yeah, the pod just shows up at your house.
00:45:35.000 It's like Futurama, man.
00:45:37.000 Bender, you walk in with the coin and suicide booth.
00:45:40.000 The New World Order, it's not a conspiracy.
00:45:42.000 It's something that we're going through right now.
00:45:44.000 It's a buzzword used by many powerful people as a way to try to centralize more power, money, and authority for themselves.
00:45:52.000 It's been talked about for a very long time, predominantly from the David Rockefellers of the world and other very powerful individuals.
00:45:59.000 David Rockefeller, in his own autobiography, by the way, said, quote, This is his own words in his own book that I actually ... confronted him with one-on-one face-to-face he said quote ... some even believe we the Rockefeller family are a part ... of a secret Cabal working against the best interest of ... the United States characterizing my family and ... me as internationalist and conspiring with others around ... the world to build a more integrated global political ... and economic structure one world if you will if that's the ... charge I stand guilty and I am proud of it.
00:46:32.000 David Rockefeller, his own autobiography.
00:46:34.000 I asked him about it.
00:46:35.000 I went up face-to-face and I was like, you still believe in this?
00:46:38.000 Let's talk about this.
00:46:39.000 He, of course, you know, freaked out.
00:46:40.000 I assume he said yes.
00:46:42.000 But there's many of these comments throughout history.
00:46:45.000 So let me ask this.
00:46:46.000 Why is it that Rockefeller writes that in his book?
00:46:49.000 That George H.W.
00:46:51.000 Bush said, we're beginning to see a new world order.
00:46:55.000 And they're specifically saying, A world order and a new one.
00:46:59.000 There's the liberal economic order and they're talking about launching a new one.
00:47:03.000 This is overt.
00:47:04.000 I think the Council on Foreign Relations was it?
00:47:06.000 The website has it discussing the liberal economic order.
00:47:09.000 Why then does the media, YouTube, Wikipedia, all come out and say it's a lie and a conspiracy when they're telling us they're doing it?
00:47:16.000 I think it's because that people are afraid we will establish a new world order with American constitutionalism and that could be upending Klaus's dream.
00:47:27.000 Basically, the liberal economic order is over.
00:47:29.000 It's done.
00:47:30.000 It's ending.
00:47:31.000 We need to pull a George Washington.
00:47:33.000 socially, where we say, we give the power away.
00:47:36.000 We give it back to the people because we trust the world and we trust humanity.
00:47:40.000 To answer your question, Tim, it's to demoralize people.
00:47:42.000 It's to show them that we're going to overtly have these plans.
00:47:46.000 We're going to talk about them, but you can't talk about them because we're more powerful than you are.
00:47:50.000 And this is a part of the larger kind of psyops that's being played here with these mind games.
00:47:56.000 This is essentially a mind game saying, I could do what I want.
00:47:58.000 I could say what I want.
00:48:00.000 You can't.
00:48:00.000 That right there is showing the true power of what the New World Order is in its essence, this kind of larger hypocrisy and abuse of power as they're using it to gain more power for themselves.
00:48:10.000 I want to stress this point.
00:48:12.000 Do not think of the phrase New World Order as a proper noun.
00:48:16.000 And that's what a lot of people do.
00:48:17.000 They think of new world order as like a proper noun.
00:48:19.000 No, no, no, no.
00:48:20.000 It is break each word down to their root meanings and that's actually what the phrase is.
00:48:25.000 There is the liberal world order or liberal economic order.
00:48:29.000 Ian's brought it up many, many times.
00:48:31.000 We've pulled it up, the website from, I think it's CFR.
00:48:34.000 Is that the Council on Foreign Relations?
00:48:36.000 Yeah, and there's also the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group.
00:48:38.000 They're all coalescing with each other and they all talk about the same thing, building a new world order.
00:48:42.000 And they have websites published on this, NewsGuard certified.
00:48:46.000 And when they say new world order, what they're saying is, we're currently in the liberal world order.
00:48:51.000 Now we need a new version of the liberal world order.
00:48:54.000 A world order that is new.
00:48:56.000 The new world order doesn't specifically refer to anything other than they want a global system of control.
00:49:03.000 It's not a secret.
00:49:04.000 They've said it over and over and over again.
00:49:06.000 Perhaps they're arguing the conspiracy is that people believe weird things about it.
00:49:10.000 I don't know, whatever.
00:49:11.000 But they're doing it, and they're having summits called the World Government Summit.
00:49:15.000 It's verified by YouTube!
00:49:17.000 So there you go.
00:49:17.000 And at the end of the day, what they're calling for is more centralization, more bureaucracy, more power being held in fewer hands.
00:49:26.000 Which, of course, is always ripe for abuse.
00:49:29.000 Whenever we have fewer and fewer individuals of more people, of more land, of more things that they could conquer and subject, this is essentially a form of domination.
00:49:41.000 And that's exactly why there's so much mind games to this, where you can't talk about this, but they can.
00:49:47.000 You know, we need freedom, and I think part of this mad dash towards global governance is because Antarctica's about to become melted and a big, giant continent that people are going to try and colonize.
00:49:57.000 And when they do, there will be a global war of China and America and Russia all trying to take it at once.
00:50:02.000 It could destroy the Earth.
00:50:03.000 Maybe.
00:50:03.000 So they're trying to say, no, only one of you is going to get it, I think.
00:50:06.000 Before Antarctica becomes available for player use, the last update patch in the simulation has to occur. So that's the final story
00:50:16.000 arc, which is going to be probably Trump 3,
00:50:20.000 you know, A New Hope or whatever you want to call it. And then
00:50:23.000 we're going to get the expansion pack, Earth Simulation 2, the Antarctic Campaign. Well, you can only rent the
00:50:29.000 expansion pack, you never actually own it.
00:50:31.000 Yeah, you'll license it, and then you can create new characters
00:50:34.000 starting in the Antarctica continent.
00:50:36.000 Really excited for this, plus the new skill sets that are being released.
00:50:39.000 I hear that journalists will get the ability to communicate via Neuralink in the latest expansion.
00:50:43.000 I like freedom, man.
00:50:44.000 I don't like the idea that cops are on the street corners watching you whenever you walk around.
00:50:47.000 I don't want it.
00:50:48.000 If you don't want it, then join me.
00:50:49.000 Now imagine the crazy insanity that you'll have to deal with when everything's online and they have control of what you see and what you say and what they don't say and what they do to you and what can you call on and can't call out.
00:50:59.000 But as you said, Tim, the CFR website officially says we're calling for global governance and they have an article on their website, what is the liberal world order?
00:51:08.000 And they go on and explain, hey, we need everything in the hands of all these private international corporations and banks, and we need less representation, we need less people being able to decide their own lives, and we need that decided by central controllers.
00:51:21.000 I always like pulling up this article from world101.cfr.org, what is the liberal world order?
00:51:28.000 Because it is NewsGuard certified, 100 out of 100.
00:51:32.000 And it's like, how do you get that rating?
00:51:35.000 And especially, like, CFR?
00:51:37.000 They're not a news organization.
00:51:39.000 Why are they rated a hundred out of a hundred?
00:51:41.000 Sure, whatever.
00:51:42.000 But liberal world order, it's on their website.
00:51:45.000 They say, after World War II, the deadliest conflict in human history, countries sought to ensure the world never again would devolve into horrific violence.
00:51:51.000 Blah, blah, blah.
00:51:51.000 Here's why we did it.
00:51:52.000 Here's what we're doing.
00:51:54.000 So when they say we want a new world order, they're saying to advance beyond their old liberal world order.
00:52:00.000 When did that article come out?
00:52:01.000 Because it sounds like something I wrote.
00:52:04.000 They've been talking about it for a very long time, ever since Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller helped fund and start the Council on Foreign Relations, and they're a quasi-private, not private club.
00:52:15.000 They have some public meetings, but in private they also have big members of the corporate media.
00:52:19.000 They have a lot of politicians, even weird politicians like Tulsi Gabbard and other, of course, mainline big politicians that are a part of their meetings.
00:52:27.000 They meet in secret and also talk about and decide policy.
00:52:31.000 Let's jump to this next story, actually.
00:52:36.000 And Luke, I want to throw this one to you if you want to talk about this.
00:52:39.000 Yeah, I mean, this is a little bit more... I mean, this story, I don't even know where to begin, to be honest with you, because there's a lot of emotions here, but you can start.
00:52:46.000 So, Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine claimed Russian missiles hit Poland and then immediately started ramping up, calling for reciprocation, calling for more aid and more military, directly blaming Russia before too much was known.
00:53:00.000 Now, you know, fair point, this was AP reporting it because a U.S.
00:53:04.000 official said so.
00:53:05.000 For a world leader to then call for an escalation of war and try and drag us into World War III is horrifying.
00:53:10.000 Now we even have NATO countries saying, like, yo, this dude's kind of losing it.
00:53:15.000 So, maybe it won't be a new world order.
00:53:18.000 Maybe it will be Ukraine sparking World War III, our foolishness, NATO, joining in the fight, getting into a war with Russia, nukes get fired.
00:53:27.000 But, uh, some people have pointed something out interesting.
00:53:31.000 So some missiles hit Poland, right?
00:53:32.000 Initially it was reported that they were Russian.
00:53:34.000 Everybody loses their minds.
00:53:35.000 Some people said it was a false flag.
00:53:37.000 Some people are now saying it was a false flag done so poorly that not even NATO could pretend it was actually Russian missiles.
00:53:46.000 But if it was Ukrainian missiles that struck Poland, then do we invoke Article 5 against Ukraine?
00:53:52.000 I thought that too.
00:53:53.000 It's up to Poland, I guess.
00:53:55.000 Poland's like, we declare war on Ukraine!
00:53:57.000 Good, let's stop giving them money at the very least!
00:53:59.000 Yeah, I mean, this is just such a crazy situation that could have escalated so fast, and thank goodness it didn't.
00:54:06.000 I mean, I'm from Poland.
00:54:08.000 I love my country.
00:54:09.000 I don't want to see war.
00:54:10.000 It's already horrible that there's war in Ukraine, that so many people have to suffer through this nonsense, and to have people try to escalate this conflict, trying to get other countries involved in this conflict, Trying to expand this proxy war between the east and the west is extremely reckless.
00:54:24.000 It's extremely dangerous.
00:54:25.000 There's an article that I just tweeted on my Twitter page from the Independent talking about how Zelensky is certain that this blast in Poland came from a Russian enemy missiles.
00:54:36.000 Again no one was certain no one knew what was going on here but of course the corporate media didn't wait MSNBC was talking about retaliation immediately I have an article here pulled up by the Daily Mail saying the West plots their response against Russia.
00:54:51.000 And again we don't know exactly what happened here as right now the president of the United States the president of Poland the head of NATO are coming out and saying.
00:54:58.000 It actually wasn't a Russian missile it was most likely a missile that was provided to Ukraine by the West in order to act like a defense system that could have accidentally or purposefully depending on what you believe here could have been a potential false flag could have not been a flag could have been a real legit accident here but with Zelensky's comments here it really makes you wonder because they were aggressive they were hyperbolic and they're extremely dangerous Not only to the people of Ukraine, but the people of Poland, the people of the world, and this situation is reckless and needs to stop immediately.
00:55:30.000 We have this article from the Daily Mail.
00:55:31.000 Zelensky insists missile that hit Poland was Russian despite NATO, US, and even Polish president saying it was a Ukrainian air defense misfire, but all agree Putin to blame for nearly sparking World War III.
00:55:44.000 Oh, how about that, huh?
00:55:46.000 Putin did start the war and we have to understand here his major calling card throughout all of this is like it's him specifically saying there's going to be a new world order we want Russia to be a part of this new world order so that's one of his major stances that he's always been making as he's been calling out the West here but this proxy war is again reckless.
00:56:05.000 Stupid dangerous and and the corporate media ... organizations that spread fake news automatically after ... this didn't offer any retractions didn't have any ... edit statements didn't have any corrections on their ... articles the AP literally just change their article from ... Russia attacks Poland to something else I'm I'm I'm I'm ... some icing here I'm not exactly saying the exact ... titles here but you get the drift of what I'm trying to ... say here that they were normally spreading dangerous ... fake news that could have started a global war and I ...
00:56:35.000 When you don't know what happened, you can't automatically jump to conclusions and state it as fact.
00:56:40.000 That's what they did.
00:56:40.000 When the stakes are as high as they are.
00:56:43.000 Exactly.
00:56:43.000 And that's exactly what they did.
00:56:44.000 They said, automatically, this is it.
00:56:46.000 We don't know what happened here.
00:56:47.000 And you see how thirsty these people are for a global conflict, which should be prevented at all costs here.
00:56:54.000 Another thing to really consider here is the fact that You know, governments and militaries make mistakes all the time, and it could just be a dumb soldier.
00:57:01.000 It could be an accident.
00:57:02.000 It could be a miscalculation, and boom, we have World War III.
00:57:05.000 This is why this conflict needs to be de-escalated, needs to be stopped.
00:57:08.000 People need to come to the table, sit down, and negotiate a peace deal immediately now, before it's too late.
00:57:14.000 I agree.
00:57:15.000 I agree that Again, the stakes really are so high with all of this and it's become just sort of passive like something else happened today.
00:57:27.000 You know, it's just a headline.
00:57:29.000 But meanwhile, Literally, the whole world is at stake with nuclear war and it's right on our doorstep.
00:57:41.000 And again, as I was saying before about this trend towards destroying everything, why aren't we trying Why aren't we investing 60 billion dollars or whatever it is in peacekeeping efforts?
00:57:55.000 We're trying to keep the peace and just stopping all of this.
00:57:59.000 Whoever's dying on both sides, it's just awful.
00:58:03.000 Again, it's the energy that's being created there is sadness and destruction and just awfulness that projects out into the world and beyond in a different realm and it just makes everything sour and leads us towards I wish it were as easy as to just say, you know, we shouldn't have war.
00:58:25.000 But the challenge, I guess, is when you see some of the things that we've seen with ISIS, for instance, and they're not stopping and they're expanding and the caliphate was growing and growing and growing, at a certain point it's like you can cross your fingers and hope for peace all you want, but dangerous people Start pushing and doing crazy stuff.
00:58:44.000 Now, I'm not arguing the U.S.
00:58:45.000 should have intervened in the Middle East in the first place.
00:58:47.000 I think U.S.
00:58:47.000 intervention caused the rise of ISIS.
00:58:49.000 But I use this as an example of, what do you do when you see a country expand?
00:58:54.000 Like, China's expanding dramatically in the South China Sea.
00:58:57.000 We can sit back and just be like, you know, let's just keep the peace and hope nothing happens, but they keep expanding.
00:59:04.000 The same thing is true, and look, here's the issue.
00:59:07.000 NATO's doing the exact same thing.
00:59:09.000 So, I'm not saying there's any good guys here, but if you're trying to be noble and honorable and just say, I'm gonna do everything I can to keep the peace, but the person across from you is just cheating, lying, and stealing, at a certain point it comes to blows.
00:59:21.000 I understand that war is certainly a part of our existence in this space and in this realm, but I do not believe, in this instance, that war is...
00:59:37.000 Could have been averted, or it should be averted.
00:59:40.000 I don't understand why everybody, our administration, our country, leans into these sort of things.
00:59:47.000 The anti-war effort, where is everybody that was so upset about war when it was happening in Iraq and Afghanistan?
00:59:54.000 Yeah, 2014, right after the Crimea annexation is when it kicked back up, all this anti-Russian stuff.
01:00:01.000 Well, so I'll give you the gist, I suppose, and this is coming from somebody with no clearance, so I have no idea, but I do know that the U.S.
01:00:07.000 wants control of Ukraine, Western forces, NATO, because Russia controls a large percentage of natural gas flowing into Europe, which means that the economy of Europe is staggered by Russia.
01:00:20.000 So, the U.S.
01:00:21.000 basically wants to take control of Ukraine, control the valves of natural gas into Europe, and then put the pressure back on Russia.
01:00:27.000 Russia refuses.
01:00:28.000 War happens.
01:00:30.000 So, I suppose you can argue NATO should not have been expanding the way it was.
01:00:35.000 And we'd avoid war.
01:00:36.000 And high gas prices is better than war.
01:00:38.000 I think that's a part of it.
01:00:40.000 But we wouldn't have high gas prices.
01:00:41.000 We would have lower gas prices if we had just better relations with other countries and more free trade.
01:00:47.000 In the market, Russia was charging a lot.
01:00:49.000 And so, Western forces tried to build a pipeline through Syria, through Turkey, into Europe to compete with Russia, but Syria wouldn't allow it.
01:00:58.000 Surprise, surprise!
01:00:58.000 Syria destabilizes, how fortunate.
01:01:01.000 And, like, the point is, it's not just about the cost of the gas.
01:01:04.000 It's about how much energy are we getting.
01:01:07.000 So, they say the EU was formed explicitly to unify Europe against the growing threat of China.
01:01:13.000 And they need gas, not so much just cheap, but they need more so that they can expand their economy, grow, and be able to compete with a growing Chinese economy.
01:01:22.000 Russia was causing problems in that regard because Russia tacitly works with China, so the U.S.
01:01:26.000 was like, we're not going after China first, Russia's the weak target, and went after them.
01:01:31.000 Donald Trump was right when he was like, China is the bigger threat, and they freak out because they're like, yeah, but we want to go after Russia first.
01:01:38.000 So, look, I don't like any of it.
01:01:40.000 I don't think any of it's justified.
01:01:41.000 I think it's a bunch of paranoia, and I understand the arguments people make about the fear of a multipolar world where you could potentially get World War III.
01:01:51.000 But this is what it boils down to.
01:01:53.000 The liberal world order people do not want Russia and China to gain enough power to compete with their new world order, their liberal world order, because they fear World War III would happen if that was the case.
01:02:03.000 So they will do everything they can to dominate and crush their opponents by any means to maintain dominance, because they think if we're not in charge, war happens.
01:02:11.000 This is what gets me, though.
01:02:12.000 The liberal economic order, the best thing for that, if they really want that to succeed, is to have an alliance with Russia.
01:02:18.000 Russia's in the center of the world, essentially, if you're looking at China and the United States and Europe and all that.
01:02:23.000 Russia's right there.
01:02:24.000 Whichever side Russia goes to is going to gain 60% more, like, they're going to gain so much power.
01:02:31.000 There's so much land that's hard to travel that is like, if you can put troops in Russia, you're good to go on a conflict.
01:02:38.000 So why would they?
01:02:40.000 antagonize.
01:02:41.000 So that makes me think that people... Russia has the GDP of Italy, okay?
01:02:44.000 But they also control a lot of oil.
01:02:45.000 People need to understand the context here.
01:02:47.000 They control oil, and if they shut off the oil, it's not just about how much they're charging, it's about, are they even going to give it to you at all?
01:02:53.000 But the more oil we have on the market, the cheaper the oil is.
01:02:56.000 Now deliberately denying the oil makes the price of oil go up even more than it automatically would.
01:03:02.000 Even if Russia was price hiking it, they would still have to compete with other markets.
01:03:06.000 But right now, the price of oil has gone up so much, Mainly because of this proxy war, this proxy conflict.
01:03:12.000 What gets me is, I think that people are manipulating the liberal economic order to go to war with Russia, to lose its power, and so that they can be like, well, see, it didn't work out, kind of thing.
01:03:24.000 And there are people in the liberal economic order that are like, they think they're doing the right thing.
01:03:28.000 They think that they're preserving democracy and making freedom, but what's really happening is they're antagonizing one of their potentially greatest allies.
01:03:36.000 All of this may be depressing, so let me get into the good news.
01:03:40.000 The good news, the white pill.
01:03:42.000 I want you all to feel much better with this report.
01:03:45.000 CNN head Chris Licht admits layoffs on the horizon as anxious staffers grill him during town hall.
01:03:51.000 Huge nerves.
01:03:52.000 Oh no, CNN's gonna be laying off more people, guys.
01:03:56.000 Uh-oh, what's this story?
01:03:58.000 From Deadline, Vice Media cuts around 2% of digital news and publishing staff as part of latest consolidation efforts.
01:04:06.000 That's what they call it.
01:04:07.000 Consolidation.
01:04:08.000 I call it the end of the old guard.
01:04:11.000 Vice was supposed to be the edgy new media, but they went woke so fast.
01:04:15.000 Now CNN is crumbling down, and I want to stress this as it pertains mostly to CNN.
01:04:21.000 Donald Trump has announced he's running for president.
01:04:24.000 CNN has been brought to heel, is in shambles.
01:04:30.000 Twitter is under the control of Elon Musk.
01:04:32.000 It's going to be a Donald Trump rematch, but without the establishment cultural powers at the level they were in the past several election cycles.
01:04:40.000 So, should be interesting, to say the least.
01:04:43.000 But I know Luke is the most sad about CNN's layoffs.
01:04:47.000 I know, I need a violin here to reel in this moment here.
01:04:52.000 I can't believe, you know, we can't have so much greatness.
01:04:55.000 Where else are we going to get the memes from?
01:04:56.000 Where else are we going to get all the inspiration from?
01:04:58.000 Whoa, hold on there.
01:04:59.000 That's actually true.
01:05:00.000 I know!
01:05:01.000 You weren't kidding.
01:05:02.000 We need the opposition.
01:05:03.000 Yeah.
01:05:03.000 If there's no CNN.
01:05:05.000 We need the hacks.
01:05:06.000 We're not the hacks.
01:05:07.000 I mean, what are we going to do?
01:05:09.000 I guess I can make memes about Luke.
01:05:12.000 You can make memes about me.
01:05:13.000 He'll be the only one else in media.
01:05:15.000 Yeah.
01:05:16.000 I'll play the antagonistic idiot for you.
01:05:18.000 But the narrative machine is breaking.
01:05:20.000 At a time when we're going to see Donald Trump come back, the narrative machine is going full swing.
01:05:25.000 They're saying he's a drag on the party.
01:05:28.000 He's not.
01:05:29.000 They're saying there was no red wave.
01:05:30.000 There was.
01:05:31.000 And they're trying to blame Donald Trump and say he's gotta go, when in reality what happens is media manipulation and ballot harvesting.
01:05:40.000 And I'll stress this point, too.
01:05:41.000 There was a red wave.
01:05:42.000 Five million more Republican votes than Democrat votes.
01:05:45.000 Sorry, that's just a reality.
01:05:47.000 Just because it wasn't in the right places doesn't mean that there was no red wave.
01:05:51.000 But I get it.
01:05:51.000 If you're arguing red wave meant a wave of victories across the country, agreed.
01:05:56.000 If you're arguing that Republicans turned out in massive numbers, then they did.
01:06:00.000 It just didn't hit the places that mattered most.
01:06:03.000 Did you see how the New York Post covered Trump's announcement?
01:06:06.000 Uh-huh.
01:06:07.000 They put it on page 26 and their title was Florida Man Makes Announcement.
01:06:13.000 That's how they covered Donald Trump.
01:06:14.000 They're all terrified of this man.
01:06:16.000 They're saying, look, at the same time... The New York Post.
01:06:19.000 New York Post, I mean, they're the ones that broke the Hunter Biden story.
01:06:22.000 Sure, sure, sure.
01:06:23.000 But at the same time that these media outlets are claiming Donald Trump is done and it's over, they're also claiming he's a dangerous insurrectionist who must be stopped at all costs.
01:06:31.000 We get it.
01:06:32.000 I see you.
01:06:33.000 They're terrified.
01:06:34.000 And they're just... Here's what happened.
01:06:36.000 The first time around, CNN and these other woke outlets went for the, Trump is evil, Trump is evil, everybody stop, stop, stop.
01:06:45.000 Well, all that did was embolden Trump.
01:06:47.000 Now they're trying to play it cool.
01:06:48.000 Trump?
01:06:50.000 He's so six years ago, he's not cool.
01:06:52.000 You like Trump?
01:06:53.000 Here's all I am.
01:06:54.000 That's not gonna work either.
01:06:55.000 When Trump gets on stage and then starts going after these people, calling them out, people are gonna laugh at it.
01:07:00.000 I think that even though we see CNN, MSNBC, these different outlets sort of sizing down, as long as they can still get their message out, and there's little competition against that message, then mission accomplished.
01:07:20.000 Because they can put out a narrative, they can put out a story, they can put out some sort of spin, and then go on all the socials, Where there's a lot of conservatives and people that are no longer allowed to voice back and so therefore their narrative, their lies, their truth, depending on how you look at it, is able to take root in that way.
01:07:46.000 And you know I don't see these like CNN actually making a pivot towards let's actually Tell the truth.
01:07:55.000 I mean maybe now every now and again just for Just just for fun.
01:08:00.000 They will or maybe just water it down So it's kind of like Fox News where you're kind of thinking you're watching the right, you know the the the actual news, but you're not Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
01:08:14.000 I just want to make a really quick point because there is some rumors that CNN viewership did go up during the Trump announcement.
01:08:22.000 And if you look at CNN's viewership, it's pretty much reliant on Donald Trump.
01:08:27.000 So now, will the corporate media get a revival from Trump?
01:08:32.000 Or will they ignore him?
01:08:33.000 How will this play out?
01:08:34.000 I don't know.
01:08:34.000 2,430,000 views.
01:08:39.000 CNN, as compared to 5,157,000 on Fox, as compared to... For last night?
01:08:45.000 Yeah, for the Trump speech.
01:08:46.000 These are last night ratings.
01:08:48.000 Yes, 1,127,000 for Newsmax.
01:08:52.000 And this is, CNN's owned by Warner Brothers Discovery.
01:08:55.000 So it's, I think at this point, which is owned by BlackRock, State Street, you know, international marketing firms and investment firms.
01:09:00.000 And I think that they're using it as like a form of impact investment at this point, the CNN News brand.
01:09:04.000 They're just going to use it to spread their ideology and let the company be damned.
01:09:10.000 Like, they'll let it go under and dissipate.
01:09:13.000 They got bought out, you know, I don't know when.
01:09:16.000 Oh, this year.
01:09:17.000 Warner Brothers bought them this year.
01:09:18.000 This is going to be interesting.
01:09:19.000 Do you see Trump giving a revival to the media?
01:09:22.000 Press 1 in the chat.
01:09:23.000 Press 2 if you don't see that happening, because I'm curious what the people think out there.
01:09:27.000 Because I don't know.
01:09:28.000 It could go either way here.
01:09:30.000 So this is, uh, what is it?
01:09:32.000 Last night, CNN had a total of 2.43 million viewers at 9 p.m.
01:09:38.000 Hannity had 5.157.
01:09:40.000 Wagner on MSNBC had 1.8.
01:09:42.000 Uh, so let's do this.
01:09:44.000 Let's go back.
01:09:45.000 And then we'll take a look at, uh, if Adweek loads.
01:09:48.000 I don't know if the website ever loads.
01:09:49.000 Monday, to see what their ratings are.
01:09:51.000 Maybe it won't, won't actually allow us to see it.
01:09:53.000 We'll see what happens, but I'd love to compare.
01:09:55.000 There's a lot of ones in the chat.
01:09:56.000 A lot of people... Take a look at this.
01:09:58.000 The, the, the views were double.
01:10:00.000 The day before, the views were half for Hannity and for CNN.
01:10:06.000 So I have a feeling that CNN is going to lean back into Trump stuff.
01:10:10.000 But I don't know if ratings is what's going to sell for them.
01:10:13.000 I think that they're using it as impact investment.
01:10:15.000 They're looking at it as a loss.
01:10:16.000 They don't want money out of it.
01:10:17.000 They just want to change people's minds to get them to support the New World Order.
01:10:21.000 So just really quickly, when the news came about that missile strike in Poland, I automatically had social media up, but just to be aware of everything, I was like, let me just turn on the TV, see what they're saying.
01:10:33.000 And I went on Fox, and on Fox, during this key important breaking news moment, they had an anchor celebrating his own birthday, talking about his achievements, right?
01:10:41.000 I went on MSNBC, and they were talking about, we need retribution, we need to act right now!
01:10:46.000 And then I went on to CNN, and they were talking about, can you guess?
01:10:50.000 Donald Trump and January 6 during this key moment, and they weren't breaking the news.
01:10:54.000 They weren't talking about what was happening in Ukraine, in Europe, with Russia, with this larger war at the G20.
01:10:59.000 They were talking about Trump and January 6.
01:11:03.000 And I'm like, really?
01:11:04.000 This is what I'm tuning into?
01:11:05.000 This is insane.
01:11:06.000 I get more reliable news on Twitter than I do, of course, the corporate media.
01:11:09.000 I'm also looking at these layoffs that I've been noticing in the last week.
01:11:13.000 Amazon is about to lay off 10,000 employees.
01:11:15.000 And that'll laid off 11,000.
01:11:16.000 11,000.
01:11:17.000 Twitter.
01:11:18.000 Twitter.
01:11:19.000 Laid off half their staff, which is a slightly different situation.
01:11:20.000 Bro, the end is nigh.
01:11:21.000 Well, it's a shrinkage of the economy right now because of what we did for the COVID money
01:11:25.000 print scam or scheme, whatever you want to call it.
01:11:29.000 And now we're starting to see like 10,000 people.
01:11:32.000 What in the heck?
01:11:33.000 That's a lot of layoffs.
01:11:34.000 There was a bunch of corporate layoffs.
01:11:36.000 Were you guys following all these corporate layoffs over the last week?
01:11:40.000 Well, I mean, CNN and Vice.
01:11:42.000 CNN and Vice.
01:11:43.000 What else is there?
01:11:44.000 Amazon.
01:11:45.000 of a meta. Oh, you know what I really want to know about?
01:11:48.000 This is a little off topic, but Larry and Sergey, the guys that created Google and now Alphabet, where are they?
01:11:53.000 What are they doing?
01:11:55.000 They are in control of the world's largest media apparatus ever created.
01:11:59.000 And they were supposedly free speech advocates, but are they just gone full technocrat?
01:12:03.000 Like, where are they?
01:12:04.000 Full technocrat, probably.
01:12:05.000 Living on an island somewhere in the largest giant mansion ever created with a smart home and they're just like, whatever.
01:12:11.000 I like to imagine that the rich people built a city underwater, called Rapture, and they're all experimenting with gene editing technologies.
01:12:18.000 We need you dudes, you guys, you bought YouTube, man, you know.
01:12:22.000 Yeah, but Ian, they've been down in this underwater city for so long and the gene splicing has mutated people and the society collapsed, so.
01:12:28.000 They're living in the shower.
01:12:29.000 Isn't that a video game?
01:12:31.000 That Bioshock is one of the best games ever.
01:12:34.000 Yeah, it's a video game.
01:12:35.000 But the general idea is, um, Galt's Gulch.
01:12:39.000 The powerful elites basically leave, let the system rot because it's gone astray and people want stupid things.
01:12:45.000 And then the people who are productive dip out.
01:12:47.000 I don't blame them.
01:12:48.000 We talked about this the other day when we talked about the exodus from cities.
01:12:54.000 Think about all of the people who fled New York or California because of the COVID policies or whatever.
01:12:58.000 That's a brain drain on these places.
01:13:00.000 The most productive people are moving to Texas and Florida.
01:13:03.000 Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Texas.
01:13:05.000 So they're going to bring all of that enterprise and ingenuity into these other states.
01:13:09.000 The economy of those states is going to skyrocket.
01:13:11.000 It's going to create this new, I don't know what you'd call it, but effectively like a business rush.
01:13:18.000 There's going to be new opportunities, new money, new inventions, new tech.
01:13:21.000 And these other blue states are going to turn into wastelands.
01:13:24.000 They've lost their top talent.
01:13:26.000 Where are you, Michael?
01:13:27.000 And where do you see things going financially as well?
01:13:30.000 Well, obviously there's a massive contraction happening.
01:13:38.000 I was just out for the past month and a half all across the country, all over really.
01:13:47.000 And you see it everywhere, the hurt, the economic hurt, whether it's gas prices or people just going to the supermarkets.
01:13:57.000 I don't see us going in a good direction economically because of the system and because of what we're not doing.
01:14:09.000 As well as the things that we're doing.
01:14:11.000 I don't have a positive outlook on the economy.
01:14:16.000 Unless, and I know that that's what we, everybody's trying to do, is get people into these positions of power that can then create a system and make the changes that we need to make so that The economy does work for everyone because I think the way to peace and prosperity and happiness and joy and good things is when people are happy and productive and they're doing things and, you know, pursuing happiness, pursuing the things that they want to pursue.
01:14:47.000 When you have people that are trying to figure out, how am I going to feed my kids?
01:14:51.000 How am I going to keep the lights on?
01:14:52.000 It's going to get cold in the winter.
01:14:54.000 Wonder how I'm going to heat my house.
01:14:56.000 That really takes away from the things in life individually and collectively that then
01:15:03.000 create a society where we can start to gain those levels in the simulation and get higher up in
01:15:10.000 this instead of everything burning up and breaking down. Let's talk about
01:15:16.000 the cultural stuff.
01:15:17.000 So watching CNN and these other outlets fall apart is good because they're narrative machines, but one of the most important things that's often overlooked by the right, conservatives, libertarians, or whatever, is creating culture that inspires young people.
01:15:30.000 So right now with you here, we have a lot of people chatting how they're huge fans of the Misfits, but you're also here challenging the establishment.
01:15:36.000 I'm curious your thoughts on how do we create an anti-establishment cultural apparatus, and more importantly, how is it that so many anti-establishment musicians just flipped and went full pro-war, pro-lockdown?
01:15:50.000 That blew my mind.
01:15:51.000 How did that happen?
01:15:52.000 I think that, and it's not just because I'm here, I think that you and your team and everybody here is the perfect example of what needs to be built for this parallel economy or these parallel structures that will push, that will build what needs to be built.
01:16:11.000 Not only do you do this sort of thing and have conversations about all this, but you're creating shows and music and entertainment, all these different things, and intention has a lot to do with that.
01:16:25.000 Your energy and where your perspectives and your friends and your colleagues, where they're coming from, they're coming from a good place, and so that resonates.
01:16:36.000 Um, you know, so I think that that's that's that's a good thing when we see these CNN or MSNBC when we see the viewership going down and these companies starting to shrink in size.
01:16:49.000 That's a good thing because we can fill that vacuum or we need to fill that vacuum with these things out that we're building.
01:16:56.000 Well, so so one of the reasons.
01:16:59.000 We here at TimCast.com, Become a Member, are focusing on cultural investments like Pop Culture Crisis is a show very similar to this format hosted by Brett Dasovic and Mary Morgan, but it's pop culture.
01:17:10.000 Because we were like, not everybody likes politics.
01:17:12.000 We want to create a show where we can build influence in other areas.
01:17:16.000 Tales from the Inverted World is Huntress Thompson meets the X-Files, and of course we're doing music, we've got some skateboarding and rollerblading and scooting plans.
01:17:25.000 We're doing this though mostly because I'm looking at, you know, like some of the bands that I grew up listening to that were basically saying, F the Machine, are now saying, Yay the Machine.
01:17:34.000 Yes.
01:17:35.000 Like, how did that happen?
01:17:37.000 Well, I think a lot of that comes with ignorance.
01:17:40.000 I think a lot of that also comes with people like us, and I hate saying that, but people that It takes a certain person to say, maybe I'm wrong.
01:17:51.000 Like I'm going to take this position about whatever.
01:17:56.000 Maybe I'm wrong.
01:17:57.000 Let me go see if I'm wrong and then spend time Finding out if you're wrong and recalibrating your position if it needs to be.
01:18:06.000 Because doing that, you gain knowledge, you're able to articulate your position, you know what you know and why you know it.
01:18:16.000 And not just, well, you know, because Gender Queer Book told me that and so therefore that's the way that I feel.
01:18:23.000 But in order to do that, I think that there's certain, you know, morals and integrity that needs to be built into someone.
01:18:30.000 And that goes into a whole conversation about parenting and everything.
01:18:34.000 But, you know, with the musicians in the entertainment industry, a lot of it certainly is ignorance.
01:18:40.000 But also, I think that there's some people that perhaps they might... I know that there's some people out there that know what the truth is and know what is kind of going on.
01:18:54.000 But there's fear and there's selfishness involved in it because they don't want to lose anything.
01:19:01.000 They don't want to lose their contract.
01:19:03.000 They don't want people saying bad things about them on their Facebook.
01:19:08.000 Oh God forbid they lose their Facebook.
01:19:10.000 What would they do?
01:19:11.000 Oh my God!
01:19:12.000 And so they just go along to get along.
01:19:17.000 Regardless of what their heart is saying, you know, the believers believe, you know, when you have the Holy Spirit inside and you have that discernment, that at some point if you continue, if you just keep rejecting that, your heart hardens and then you don't hear that anymore.
01:19:31.000 And so you're able to just go full-on to, you know, any port you want.
01:19:40.000 And so there's a lot of that in the entertainment industry.
01:19:44.000 There's a lot of that in the music industry because everybody wants to be popular and loved and be that person and have the lights on them.
01:19:54.000 That's what it's about and will take any route they need to to get there and hold on to it.
01:20:00.000 Same thing in politicians.
01:20:02.000 No leaders.
01:20:03.000 It's power.
01:20:04.000 You want that power.
01:20:07.000 It's difficult to take a position and find yourself completely alone, or to feel alone.
01:20:12.000 If these bands...
01:20:15.000 Shout out to The Offspring for firing their drummer because he was unable to get vaccinated due to medical condition.
01:20:19.000 If bands like that stood up and said, sorry guys, all of our shows are being cancelled.
01:20:25.000 To all of our fans who spent all this money, we are unfortunately unable to do the show because the venues won't allow our drummer in.
01:20:31.000 What do you think would happen when 5 million ticket holders call Ticketmaster all at the same time?
01:20:39.000 Ticketmaster is going to be like, why is our system breaking down?
01:20:42.000 They're going to contact the venues and be like, what are you doing?
01:20:46.000 Why are these shows getting canceled?
01:20:48.000 And they're going to say, well, we told the offspring they weren't allowed to have their drummer in the building.
01:20:52.000 What are you?
01:20:52.000 Well, we have a contract.
01:20:54.000 Well, well, the government passed a law.
01:20:55.000 Then everyone's going to start calling up the local governments.
01:20:57.000 What are you doing?
01:20:58.000 We got five million canceled.
01:20:59.000 Contracts are falling apart.
01:21:02.000 If one band just said, we will cancel every show, it would cause a chain reaction that would make it all the way to the point where large lobbyists and investors would be standing at the desk of the mayor of New York saying, I will destroy you politically unless you fix this problem.
01:21:19.000 And they'll be like, okay, okay, we'll rescind this.
01:21:21.000 But no.
01:21:22.000 The whiny, pathetic establishment loses the offspring said, how about we just fire our drummer of 17 years?
01:21:29.000 Our families have hung out together.
01:21:31.000 Screw him!
01:21:32.000 I'd rather make money and fire him!
01:21:34.000 These people are fucking pathetic.
01:21:36.000 Okay, now I'm swearing.
01:21:37.000 You're right, though.
01:21:38.000 I mean, at least that was a pathetic move.
01:21:40.000 I don't want to judge their personalities because I don't know them, but I think it was a weak move, if anything.
01:21:45.000 They have so much power to control culture.
01:21:48.000 I've said this about a lot of things.
01:21:50.000 I agree with you.
01:21:50.000 I agree.
01:21:51.000 Patreon.
01:21:53.000 They banned this guy, Robert Spencer.
01:21:55.000 He's an Islamic scholar and he's controversial, I guess.
01:21:58.000 I'm not sure.
01:21:58.000 Not Richard Spencer.
01:21:59.000 Robert Spencer.
01:22:00.000 Different guy.
01:22:01.000 And the reason was, MasterCard made us do it.
01:22:04.000 If we didn't ban him, then we'd have to shut the whole site down.
01:22:06.000 And I'm like, I dare you.
01:22:10.000 MasterCard, I dare you to have the hundred million plus subscriptions on this site Disappear and have each and every one of those people calling you on the phone asking you why you did it.
01:22:20.000 But no one has the balls to actually be like, I'll go for it.
01:22:24.000 Let's see what happens.
01:22:25.000 There were some performers that would refuse to play.
01:22:28.000 Did Dave Chappelle do that?
01:22:30.000 Was he like, I'm not performing if you're gonna have a vax mandate?
01:22:32.000 Was he one of those guys?
01:22:34.000 I know Chrissy Mayer wouldn't perform.
01:22:36.000 Not that she's at Dave Chappelle's fame yet.
01:22:39.000 I think Crowder and Rubin were explicit I'm not sure, uh, they said they moved venues.
01:22:44.000 I think it was Ruben, specifically, was like, we won't do a show here and moved it.
01:22:48.000 I'm not sure, maybe it wasn't Ruben.
01:22:49.000 Yeah.
01:22:49.000 But, um, look, I like Joe Rogan, but even he said, here's what we'll do.
01:22:54.000 I'll give you a refund if you didn't want, if you didn't know that they were doing these rules.
01:22:58.000 And perhaps the argument is that there were contracts that locked Joe in, and if he canceled, it could have caused him major damage or something like that.
01:23:07.000 But it's just like... But that's... I understand that there's a lot at stake when you take these positions.
01:23:16.000 However, I agree with you that if some... like Offspring or some of these larger acts... I mean, I didn't play the Whiskey A Go-Go.
01:23:25.000 For that reason, because they had a vaccine mandate in the city at the time, and I said that I didn't want to play to a segregated audience, nor did I want someone to make a decision, a medical decision like that, to come see me.
01:23:37.000 That's crazy.
01:23:38.000 And so I just said, I'm not going to do it.
01:23:39.000 When things are different, I'll go back.
01:23:41.000 And I did.
01:23:41.000 I just played there a couple weeks ago.
01:23:43.000 Cool.
01:23:45.000 I wish I had that power to, you know, like the Offspring and some of these other bands, where if they just stood up and said, we already have so much, and all of their fans would, not all of them, but a lot of the fans would get behind them, or at least say, Well, what do you mean?
01:24:04.000 And then you can have the larger conversation, and that would then put that pressure on the record companies, on the management companies, on the lawyers, and all of the system that is the industry that pushes back on these things.
01:24:17.000 Let me tell you, let's go back to that earlier segment where I was making fun of Trudeau, meeting his hero.
01:24:22.000 and uh... the ilan musk thing where you almost cried when told about neil
01:24:26.000 armstrong the first album ever bought was americana by the offspring the first
01:24:29.000 tab book i ever got was americana by the offspring the second was it's now on the
01:24:32.000 armory by the offspring followed by the tab book for ex man the armory
01:24:35.000 and then of course there's ignition then that then i said wow i better go back even further i
01:24:40.000 got there uh...
01:24:41.000 smash was obvious right so you're a fan yeah this was the first that this was the band that got me
01:24:46.000 into music This was the band that, at the time, all we had was pop.
01:24:51.000 So whatever was on the radio was what it was.
01:24:53.000 I didn't even know the names of these bands, and then my friend said, listen to this, and handed me an Americana CD, and I learned all the songs, and I still have them on my playlist.
01:25:02.000 I love all of their 90s stuff, and some of their 2000s stuff, and I even like a lot of their later stuff.
01:25:08.000 And then, what a letdown.
01:25:10.000 For them to be at a point where, I think Dexter sold the catalog for like 30 million or whatever, to be so rich, you want for nothing, and then to look into the eyes of someone who's been there for you for 17 years, their drummer, and say, get out.
01:25:27.000 Because that's the dirtiest, most vile, inhuman, It's cold, man.
01:25:35.000 Not only that, they could have actually just been like, bro, they're not going to let you in the building.
01:25:39.000 I'm sorry, but don't worry.
01:25:41.000 We will get someone to play with us, but we're not going to let you down.
01:25:44.000 You're good.
01:25:45.000 And we'll do studio stuff with you.
01:25:46.000 And that's still, in my opinion, not the strongest thing they could have done.
01:25:50.000 But I'd still be like, I get it.
01:25:51.000 I get it.
01:25:52.000 You know, the fans want a show.
01:25:53.000 You don't want to let them down, but you're not going to leave someone hanging.
01:25:56.000 Instead, they were just like, later, bro.
01:25:58.000 And the crazy thing about this whole story is that Pete Pirata is the drummer.
01:26:01.000 He's awesome.
01:26:02.000 He's done work with us.
01:26:03.000 His doctor was like, I recommend against this because of the potential medical condition you have.
01:26:07.000 And he goes, okay.
01:26:09.000 And then they're like, get out.
01:26:10.000 It's dirt.
01:26:11.000 And if he would have listened to them, he could have got seriously hurt or could have died.
01:26:14.000 But they still wanted to force him to do that, to stay in the band.
01:26:18.000 That is cruel.
01:26:19.000 That is absolutely evil.
01:26:21.000 Jim Brewer, I think, did it the right way.
01:26:23.000 Whenever people were discriminating against somebody, whenever a venue had a VAX mandate and were segregating people based on government compliance, he said, no, I'm not going to be performing here.
01:26:33.000 I'm only going to be performing at places that don't discriminate against bodily autonomy, against individuals deciding their own pathways, their own life.
01:26:40.000 So shouts out to Jim Brewer.
01:26:42.000 He was a real one.
01:26:43.000 We should get him on the show.
01:26:44.000 He does incredible work and I love his work anyway.
01:26:46.000 He's a funny guy.
01:26:47.000 He's a leader, man.
01:26:48.000 That guy's... Jim, you are awesome.
01:26:50.000 Yeah, Jim's incredible.
01:26:51.000 Shout out to Jim, because as much as we criticize these horrible people, we got to shout out the good people and promote them and all the good stuff that they do as well.
01:27:00.000 Yeah, Brewer's tremendous.
01:27:01.000 He's got a great heart.
01:27:02.000 He's a family man.
01:27:03.000 He's great and absolutely has taken the right path in all this and obviously has a hilarious perspective on it that he puts in his routines.
01:27:14.000 But You would think certainly that somebody like Pete, you know who played with these guys came up with these guys There's a brotherhood when you're on tour with somebody and you know, you're in a band like that Maybe it was 14 years.
01:27:28.000 I don't know.
01:27:29.000 Was it 14 or 17?
01:27:29.000 Maybe it was 14.
01:27:31.000 That's a long That's a long long time a big difference a long time.
01:27:34.000 It's not just being on tour and It's not just the tour thing and playing in a band.
01:27:39.000 Families and friends.
01:27:41.000 It's your whole life!
01:27:43.000 It's your whole friggin' world!
01:27:45.000 And then all of a sudden it's just, well, see you later dude!
01:27:49.000 Dude, you gotta look up Pete Parata on the internet.
01:27:51.000 The face, the picture of his face.
01:27:53.000 He's like, he's awesome looking.
01:27:54.000 He's hitting it so hard.
01:27:56.000 He's on the drums.
01:27:56.000 I'm trying to figure out when he joined the Offspring.
01:27:59.000 Officially joined face-to-face in 98, and then offspring in 2007.
01:28:06.000 So that'd be about 14 years ago, 15 years ago.
01:28:09.000 The guy's amazing.
01:28:10.000 2007?
01:28:10.000 Yeah, 15.
01:28:10.000 Okay, I was wrong.
01:28:12.000 I was thinking like, wait a minute, did I give him extra years?
01:28:14.000 Maybe it was 14 or so.
01:28:15.000 Before that, he's with Saves the Day.
01:28:17.000 I couldn't believe that story when I heard it.
01:28:20.000 Because my attitude is, if something happened like that, and my response was, okay, well, we're going to keep moving forward, I wouldn't turn Terminate like if I had somebody was working for me for six months.
01:28:31.000 I wouldn't fire him.
01:28:32.000 I'd be like you're cool, dude We'll figure it out.
01:28:34.000 Yeah, you know crazy and that's a scary thing the people that you think have your back are In the past couple of years at least in my experience and I've lost people in my life that walked away from me that I've known for decades you know 20 years people that I was very very close to that again because of the pressure because of well I might lose my Facebook and because you know I don't know you've gone crazy or you know people that know people that fell for the delusion that believe the delusion is
01:29:08.000 And the lies, knowing me, like knowing who I am and knowing my heart, but then saying, yeah, no, well, we're going to go with this whole thing.
01:29:22.000 And we're going to... That's scary.
01:29:26.000 When you hear stories about, you know, when the Nazis rolled into some of these, the different cities, where just overnight, you know, the pogroms, these people, they went to school together, they were family, and then they're dragging each other into the streets and they're ripping their clothes off and they're beating them.
01:29:44.000 That's where we're at.
01:29:46.000 It's almost like we're practicing for it.
01:29:48.000 And it's just we're doing it online.
01:29:51.000 Because essentially you're assassinating people.
01:29:52.000 You're killing them.
01:29:53.000 You're ripping their whole world away.
01:29:56.000 Everything is gone.
01:29:57.000 All the people that you love, your business, these things that you've worked for, gone.
01:30:01.000 Boop!
01:30:01.000 Gone.
01:30:02.000 And we're doing that in that synthetic world that's built, and it's not very far from reality, the physical part of this.
01:30:12.000 Let me just multiply the concerns here, the fears here.
01:30:19.000 We used to have brick-and-mortar stores.
01:30:21.000 We still do, sort of.
01:30:23.000 You drive down any main street in old cities, what do you see?
01:30:25.000 Most of the stores are closed.
01:30:26.000 Yeah, it's true.
01:30:28.000 First there was Walmart.
01:30:30.000 Now there's Amazon.
01:30:31.000 It's all online.
01:30:33.000 So people start building their businesses on Twitter, Facebook, and Google.
01:30:36.000 I knew a guy who would sell things on his web store, and all of his traffic came from Google.
01:30:41.000 People would search for something, and he would be in the top five.
01:30:44.000 Google changed their algorithm one day.
01:30:47.000 His search dropped to the second page.
01:30:48.000 His business evaporated.
01:30:50.000 There's no second page.
01:30:51.000 Now here's where it gets crazy.
01:30:53.000 Many people are building businesses on Twitter, Facebook, and Google.
01:30:56.000 Selling things, promoting things, being commentators.
01:30:58.000 Oops, you got banned.
01:30:59.000 Your business is erased.
01:31:01.000 Imagine this.
01:31:03.000 When we live in Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse fake reality that he desperately wants us to live in.
01:31:08.000 And you create a store with a virtual environment that sells t-shirts and people can walk in and they can buy stuff and they can chat.
01:31:13.000 And then Mark Zuckerberg walks in with a smile on his face and says, I'm deleting your store!
01:31:18.000 And then you're gone.
01:31:19.000 Everything you worked for ceases to exist.
01:31:21.000 Like that.
01:31:22.000 You have a brick-and-mortar store?
01:31:24.000 It's a lot harder to do.
01:31:25.000 You go into the metaverse with digital business?
01:31:27.000 They can ban you outright.
01:31:29.000 We launch a store.
01:31:30.000 We sell t-shirts.
01:31:30.000 We got a t-shirt pinned.
01:31:31.000 You can buy it if you want.
01:31:33.000 The company that hosts it could just erase that store instantly and then we're not selling any products.
01:31:38.000 It is a nightmarish potential future unless we stay conscious of what's happening and fight for rights for rules.
01:31:46.000 Where this crypto story comes in, right?
01:31:48.000 We see the dollar coming apart, our economy coming apart.
01:31:52.000 We see this what's happening with FTX.
01:31:58.000 And now that there's going to be the big push for the cryptocurrency regulations and everything, they've got to get their hands in that and cash isn't going to work and we need these regulations and we're going to attach that to the social credit score and we're going to take away everything That's in this physical, all the brick and mortar, gone.
01:32:14.000 So that then, that ultimate control, you say something that is not part of the narrative, you say something that goes against, you're, whoop, you're gone, whoop, sorry, what are you, what are you gonna do?
01:32:26.000 You know how to grow corn?
01:32:27.000 No, no, no, don't worry about it.
01:32:29.000 You will own nothing and you will be happy.
01:32:31.000 You will live in the pod and you will eat the bugs.
01:32:32.000 You will eat zee bugs.
01:32:35.000 My favorite meme right now is the chicken that says, I will live in the pod, I will eat the bugs, and I will give you eggs.
01:32:44.000 That's a good one!
01:32:45.000 Chickens are great!
01:32:46.000 You're talking about female human eggs?
01:32:48.000 Are they going to be harvesting people's eggs to reproduce in a laboratory?
01:32:52.000 Yeah, right now you are, but I wonder if the metaphor extends to the next 70 years.
01:32:56.000 Those goofy little things run around eating bugs, living in their little pod, and then we, you know, Kim goes out there and she collects all their little butt bounties, crack them open, have breakfast, sprinkle a little black pepper on them, mmm, can't be beat.
01:33:06.000 Yeah, I've raised chickens too, yeah.
01:33:08.000 How many chickens you got?
01:33:10.000 Well, we just had a weasel attack.
01:33:11.000 So we're down.
01:33:12.000 Yeah, I raised ducks too and weasel got in there big time.
01:33:15.000 So I lost upwards of nine ducks and three chickens.
01:33:19.000 So my flock is down.
01:33:20.000 What percent of your flock was that?
01:33:23.000 About 30%.
01:33:23.000 One weasel.
01:33:26.000 It was actually two.
01:33:27.000 My wife saw two.
01:33:28.000 A team of weasels.
01:33:29.000 Yeah, a team of weasels.
01:33:31.000 They were working together.
01:33:32.000 Wow.
01:33:33.000 Funny metaphor when they call people weasels.
01:33:35.000 Some kind of auto-defense turret that can identify what a chicken looks like using an AI and it pans past the chickens and sees the weasel and... It's crazy.
01:33:43.000 It's crazy.
01:33:43.000 Airsoft though.
01:33:44.000 Airsoft.
01:33:45.000 It gets so frustrating sometimes.
01:33:46.000 I just say, let's just burn it all down.
01:33:51.000 I just want to burn the whole barn down.
01:33:54.000 It's incredible, such a little creature can cause so much damage.
01:33:59.000 Yeah, we had a snake get in a couple times, it was eating eggs.
01:34:03.000 But the chickens were mostly fine.
01:34:05.000 The bigger issue we had is that Roberto Jr., who is the son of Roberto, obviously, and he's in charge, his mom died.
01:34:14.000 She had ovarian cancer.
01:34:17.000 Yeah, yeah, nothing we could do about it.
01:34:18.000 Just didn't know that.
01:34:19.000 She just had cancer.
01:34:20.000 We didn't see any signs.
01:34:21.000 She died.
01:34:22.000 Then we got to the, the vet got it checked and they were like, there's nothing you could have done.
01:34:25.000 It just happens.
01:34:26.000 Yeah.
01:34:26.000 Yeah.
01:34:27.000 I think you're, you're, how you're saying sometimes you get so frustrated that you want to burn the barn down.
01:34:31.000 A lot of people are feeling that like sociologically, like they're so frustrated with the system and a lack of hope that they say burn it all down.
01:34:37.000 But like, Then you get a chance, hopefully you get a chance to remember how awesome it is to be alive in this experience of love and pleasure and like learning and protecting other life and you're reminded that it's worth keeping around.
01:34:54.000 That's a good note, Ian.
01:34:55.000 That's a good note.
01:34:56.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:35:09.000 And let's see what you guys got.
01:35:11.000 Kenneth Hart says, No way, Michael Graves!
01:35:13.000 Man, it was so cool exchanging emails during Bush's re-election campaign.
01:35:16.000 What changed?
01:35:17.000 How did you evolve from there?
01:35:21.000 Um, you know, I'll be honest with you, I started to work more and get involved in the military sphere of things and talking to soldiers and really becoming aware of what was happening with the war.
01:35:40.000 And, you know, September 11th, after what happened with September 11th, and great work like Luke Rudowsky had done in learning What was happening with 9-11 really started to wake me up.
01:35:57.000 I fell asleep when those towers came down and I was living close enough to where I could see the smoke in the sky to New York City and I immediately became entrenched in the propaganda and got angry and got mad and forgot a lot of the stuff that...
01:36:15.000 You've been following Luke for a long time?
01:36:17.000 I know Luke, yeah, of course, sure.
01:36:19.000 He's a hero, yeah.
01:36:21.000 Oh, gee.
01:36:22.000 First YouTube channel to be demonetized, I'm pretty sure.
01:36:25.000 Bill Ottman was telling me one time he was in, like, New York at some rally, and he was like, dude, Luke was on a statue, like, we are going to the building!
01:36:34.000 And all these people were like, yeah!
01:36:35.000 Right, 9-11 was an inside job, you know, you'd always see Well, we had 10,000 people, including family members, rescue workers, survivors of 9-11, asking for some serious questions to be answered.
01:36:48.000 And we were all over New York City without a permit, marching.
01:36:52.000 Not an easy thing to do during those times, man.
01:36:54.000 No, no.
01:36:55.000 There was agent provocateurs.
01:36:56.000 There was people trying to, of course, make us seem like we were crazy or spread disinformation and bad messaging.
01:37:02.000 There's a lot of Cass Sunstein types.
01:37:05.000 But those days, we were in the streets.
01:37:07.000 The internet wasn't as prominent.
01:37:09.000 People didn't have cell phones that you could interact with.
01:37:11.000 They had flip phones.
01:37:13.000 So during those days, we had to do everything in the streets.
01:37:15.000 We were bullhorning.
01:37:17.000 We were giving out leaflets.
01:37:18.000 We were giving out DVDs.
01:37:19.000 We've been doing that for such a long time, and the streets is where it was at.
01:37:23.000 We're gonna read some more.
01:37:23.000 We got Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:37:25.000 says, Tim, you know I'm game.
01:37:26.000 I learned lots from going out earlier this year.
01:37:28.000 I'll knock on doors and harvest the eff out of ballots.
01:37:31.000 Not for Republicans.
01:37:32.000 For MAGA.
01:37:32.000 For America.
01:37:33.000 Folks, we got two years.
01:37:34.000 We can still win.
01:37:36.000 That's right.
01:37:36.000 Make sure you check.
01:37:37.000 In, I think it's 26 states, there's regulations on how many you can ballot harvest and if you can.
01:37:43.000 Some states, it's like you can only bring in ballots if they're your family members.
01:37:47.000 There's many states where there's just no regulation at all.
01:37:49.000 So people are literally just going door-to-door, be like, I'll take it from you, and they'll just take the ballots and go drop them off.
01:37:54.000 Is it actually called ballot harvesting officially?
01:37:56.000 Or like, do they call it ballot collection?
01:37:58.000 Because harvesting sounds dirty.
01:38:00.000 Yeah.
01:38:00.000 I mean, it's whatever you want to describe it as.
01:38:05.000 Designated, what is it called?
01:38:07.000 In a lot of states, they have like a designated agent or something it's called, where you sign saying this person can take my ballot from me.
01:38:14.000 You know, it really sounds like the Democratic ground game, right?
01:38:17.000 That sounds like a ground game sort of thing.
01:38:19.000 And I always hear a lot about how Uh, you know, you have to get into the Republican, you know, Frank Cavanaugh, uh, bass player, Filter, who's a good friend of mine, is always talking about that, about, you know, getting in at the, at some sort of level where that sort of ballot harvesting thing, um, could be implemented, you know.
01:38:42.000 Waffle Sensei says, really disappointed Daily Wire is losing the plot.
01:38:46.000 How so?
01:38:47.000 I saw that super chat.
01:38:48.000 I didn't understand though.
01:38:49.000 Yeah, I don't know.
01:38:50.000 Are they like anti-Trump or something?
01:38:51.000 Is that what it is?
01:38:52.000 Probably.
01:38:53.000 I'm gonna look at their website now.
01:38:54.000 I think Candace said she's gonna be interviewing him again at some point or wants to.
01:39:00.000 Okay, what do we have?
01:39:01.000 Jay says, did you guys hear that the New York lawyers who threw the Molotov at the cop car got disbarred during the not-peaceful George Floyd protests?
01:39:09.000 I didn't hear that.
01:39:10.000 I did hear that some woman got sentenced to six years.
01:39:13.000 And also, in the video I did talking about how they're going after Trump with the 14th Amendment, I pointed out how Joe Biden basically, his campaign assisted the 529 insurrection.
01:39:24.000 And there was a story, and it's absolutely hilarious.
01:39:26.000 I think it was NBC.
01:39:28.000 That said, something like, uh, temporary barricades removed and damage to church after peaceful protest becomes destructive.
01:39:38.000 I was like, wait, what?
01:39:42.000 Peaceful protest.
01:39:43.000 Right.
01:39:44.000 Depends on who's doing it, is how it's characterized.
01:39:47.000 Right.
01:39:48.000 Dan Brockman says, Michael, famous monsters in American Psycho were huge influences for my band Screaming Torso from 06 to 08.
01:39:56.000 Please look us up.
01:39:57.000 Soundcloud.
01:39:57.000 Our album is called There Will Be Torso.
01:40:00.000 Thank you, Michael.
01:40:01.000 Screaming Torso.
01:40:02.000 I love it.
01:40:03.000 All right.
01:40:04.000 Oh yeah, man, dude, we'd go skating and they'd be blasting your stuff, like my friends would just put it on.
01:40:08.000 We'd listen to that and a bunch of other punk rock stuff as we went to go skate at the local parks and stuff like that.
01:40:14.000 How did it work?
01:40:14.000 Misfits had been around before you joined the band?
01:40:17.000 Yeah, Misfits were formed 1977, Lodi, New Jersey, by Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only.
01:40:25.000 They broke up in 81, I think, something like that, and then they really gained popularity From bands like Metallica, Cliff Burton, the bass player always had the skull on, and Rob Zombie.
01:40:40.000 So when I got into the band, there was a lot more legend behind the band than anything else.
01:40:46.000 They really only had played a handful of shows, and so everything was sort of word of mouth.
01:40:52.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:40:53.000 So I got in the band in 1995.
01:40:55.000 Started writing fresh stuff when you hit, or did you play a lot of the old catalog?
01:40:59.000 When we first went out, we did a tour called the Resurrection Tour, and we did like every song they ever wrote.
01:41:05.000 You know, it was incredible.
01:41:07.000 It was like 30, 40 songs, I think, a night.
01:41:11.000 Back to back.
01:41:11.000 Back to back.
01:41:12.000 One, two, three, go!
01:41:13.000 And then we would go.
01:41:15.000 Crypto.
01:41:16.000 Cryptorath says, Michael, your music saved my life, brother.
01:41:18.000 You are one of the greatest poets of our time.
01:41:20.000 New album soon.
01:41:22.000 Wow, bless you, thank you very much.
01:41:24.000 Again, I'll take that over fame and celebrity or nice fancy cars and everything.
01:41:32.000 I'm so blessed that, like I said, I just came back from this tour in the United States, an acoustic tour, and I hear that all the time.
01:41:40.000 I hear these profound stories about people's lives and the things that they've gone through.
01:41:46.000 And how they've overcome or what they're currently going through and for them to then say that my music or something that I've created has affected them or it's bound to them in some sort of way is just... That's treasure in heaven.
01:42:01.000 That's not treasure down here.
01:42:02.000 It's an amazing, amazing thing and it really helps propel me forward.
01:42:08.000 Right on, man.
01:42:09.000 So I don't just hide in the woods and never show my face again.
01:42:13.000 No, keep it up.
01:42:14.000 Seth Weathers says, Shameless self-plug, our Let's Go Brandon Christmas wrapping paper is back for 2022 with new designs, and it won't let me post the full link.
01:42:24.000 Brandonwrap.com.
01:42:26.000 That is the Seth Weathers there.
01:42:28.000 Seth Weathers.
01:42:29.000 Yeah, he was on the show.
01:42:30.000 Love you, Seth.
01:42:31.000 We gotta get some of that.
01:42:31.000 We should order some of that, the Let's Go Brandon wrap, and then I can send out presents to my family members and see who gets triggered.
01:42:36.000 What was the website again?
01:42:39.000 Brandonwrap.com, I think?
01:42:40.000 Brandonwrap.com.
01:42:41.000 I'm gonna do the hammer thing.
01:42:43.000 I think at officialmichaelgraves.com I'm gonna sell hammers.
01:42:46.000 Pelosi hammers.
01:42:48.000 We made jokes about, like, banning hammers and, like, hammers with tactical forward grips and, like, sights on them and stuff like that.
01:42:55.000 People started making memes.
01:42:57.000 Alright, let's see.
01:42:58.000 Potatoes for Seamus says, Surge Feetcast, IRL.
01:43:02.000 Oh, hey.
01:43:03.000 What's up?
01:43:03.000 Hey, I'm still on, guys.
01:43:05.000 I can see that.
01:43:08.000 Alright, Grim Pickens says, Alright, hear me out.
01:43:11.000 What if Underwear Man is Corn Pop?
01:43:14.000 He'd be too young.
01:43:15.000 David to pap?
01:43:16.000 Too young to be corn pop.
01:43:17.000 What if Paul Pelosi is corn pop?
01:43:19.000 That's actually a conspiracy theory.
01:43:23.000 That the pap guy has in my mind has this weird resemblance or something that's that's similarly strange, strangely similar to the to the FTX crypto guy.
01:43:35.000 I don't know why.
01:43:36.000 Those FTX dudes were doing a lot of drugs.
01:43:38.000 I'm reading that he would encourage his employees to try different drugs.
01:43:41.000 Yeah, maybe it's something in the eyes.
01:43:42.000 Like, you know, they have the crazy eyes.
01:43:45.000 Something.
01:43:46.000 Pluto the Ninth says, Mr. Graves, you're an incredible singer.
01:43:49.000 Started listening as a teen and had American Psycho on repeat for years.
01:43:53.000 My four-year-old son loves it too.
01:43:55.000 Can you say Giant Spiders prepare to take over for Abram?
01:43:58.000 Giant spider.
01:43:59.000 Yeah, giant spiders prepare to take over.
01:44:07.000 David Toronto says, why are there no pictures of Paul Pelosi after the attack?
01:44:11.000 If they tried to blame it on a right winger, wouldn't they want people to see he was hurt?
01:44:14.000 Yeah.
01:44:14.000 Or they can just say whatever they want.
01:44:15.000 People believe it.
01:44:16.000 Yeah.
01:44:17.000 He's charging that dude with attempted murder.
01:44:19.000 yeah he played not he's pleading not guilty alright what is this uh... we got
01:44:27.000 ryan philpott says just saw the misfits in dallas with danzig Jerry Only, bassist, is my cousin.
01:44:33.000 No matter who was the singer, Misfits rock.
01:44:35.000 I'm excited to see Graves.
01:44:37.000 So Danzig rejoined or what?
01:44:39.000 Yeah, those guys buried the hatchet and have been doing shows for a couple years now.
01:44:48.000 It's called the Original Misfits.
01:44:50.000 So they got Glenn, Jerry, and Doyle.
01:44:54.000 I don't know who they have drumming.
01:44:55.000 They had Dave Lombardo from Slayer drumming for them for a while.
01:44:58.000 Do they play your songs too?
01:45:00.000 No, no, no, no.
01:45:01.000 They don't even mention me.
01:45:02.000 It's kind of, you know, I'm sort of memory hold.
01:45:05.000 Yeah, it's old stuff.
01:45:06.000 I think now they're doing like Walk Among Us and I think, yeah, yeah.
01:45:11.000 Do you retain the rights to the stuff you wrote while you were at the band?
01:45:14.000 Yeah, I go out, I play it.
01:45:16.000 I'm going to South America in about a week and a half and I do Famous Monsters.
01:45:20.000 I do American Psycho Famous Monsters back to back.
01:45:23.000 Cool.
01:45:24.000 So I still wave the flag.
01:45:26.000 People love the music.
01:45:28.000 But those guys...
01:45:32.000 Getting me back in the—can you imagine if—you know, I'm kind of under the radar right now with what I'm doing.
01:45:40.000 For them to get me back in the band and do like American Psycho Famous Monsters with those guys, it wouldn't work because of all the BS that would come with it.
01:45:49.000 Bayleon says, when even Marjorie Taylor Greene voted for McCarthy, my positivity on Republicans doing anything meaningful fell to zero.
01:45:57.000 I get it though.
01:45:58.000 MTG wants to be on committees.
01:46:00.000 She wants to be able to actually get something done.
01:46:03.000 And so they're probably saying, look, don't go up against the RNC.
01:46:08.000 Give them what they want and they'll give you something back.
01:46:11.000 I kind of just think the GOP needed to go in and be like, nah.
01:46:15.000 But we'll see if Marjorie can get things done.
01:46:18.000 Look, I trust Marjorie Taylor Greene.
01:46:20.000 So.
01:46:21.000 That one threw me a little bit.
01:46:24.000 I was like, really, man?
01:46:26.000 Is it just like a big group of like a fraternity sorority type thing where they all know each other and it's all kind of understood like, Mitch, you got this, we're not going to turn our back on you?
01:46:34.000 No, it's probably more like the people who have been in the party the longest and have been in office longest have more control over funding and who gets money and how it gets spent.
01:46:42.000 So they basically say, I'm going to be party leadership, vote for me, otherwise I cut your funding and you don't get re-elected, and we go up against you.
01:46:49.000 Look at what we did to these candidates and these candidates, and then they're like, okay, okay.
01:46:53.000 So someone just needs to be like, eh, I'll take two years.
01:46:56.000 I guess the problem is everybody really, really wants to be in office.
01:46:59.000 They want to get re-elected.
01:47:01.000 Maybe term limits would be good?
01:47:02.000 I don't know.
01:47:02.000 Yeah, I think so.
01:47:03.000 If it were me, I'd be like, dude, you don't want to play a game of chicken with me, because I'll go nuts.
01:47:07.000 Like, if I'm going to be here for two years, it's going to be a really bad two years for you.
01:47:10.000 So how about we make it four years, but we kind of compromise there?
01:47:13.000 That sort of thing is very rare in people, in men, and in women.
01:47:21.000 I mean, you see what's happened the past two years.
01:47:24.000 Look at January 6th.
01:47:26.000 All the pressure that came down on people, whether it was Proud Boys or anybody else, everyone just scattered.
01:47:35.000 Everyone just scattered because of the downward pressure and because of the fear.
01:47:41.000 It really takes a certain someone to stand on their two feet and be firm in their position and say no.
01:47:49.000 This is the right thing.
01:47:50.000 I'm doing this because of integrity, because of morals and my alignment, and I don't care what you take from me.
01:47:57.000 That's the whole give me liberty or give me death.
01:48:00.000 People don't understand that.
01:48:01.000 Give me liberty or give me death.
01:48:03.000 Take everything from me if you want, because it's not about me.
01:48:08.000 I mean to a certain point it's about individualism, but it's about the people that came before us and what they did and what they built and sacrificed, and it's for the people that are going to come after us.
01:48:18.000 My children, your children, everybody's children.
01:48:20.000 That's true.
01:48:21.000 I don't feel like that's my motivation necessarily, maybe a little bit.
01:48:24.000 Mine's more like I'm more willing to sacrifice than you are.
01:48:30.000 You know, so if somebody wants to get involved in a game of chicken, that's the game.
01:48:36.000 The cars are speeding at each other.
01:48:37.000 Who's got more to lose?
01:48:38.000 Who's got less to lose?
01:48:39.000 And who's going to bow out first?
01:48:41.000 I remember I learned this important lesson from my dad when he was driving his Wrangler, which was a giant hunk of steel with, you know, rust holes in it.
01:48:51.000 And some luxury sedan was trying to basically cut him off and push him out of a zipper.
01:48:56.000 And he started laughing.
01:48:57.000 And he was just like, this guy's not going to touch me.
01:49:00.000 And then, sure enough, the guy slammed the brakes on and we kept going.
01:49:03.000 And he was like, you think the guy in that expensive car is gonna risk damage to it?
01:49:08.000 I'm in a giant bucket full of metal.
01:49:10.000 I don't care if someone hits it.
01:49:12.000 And I'm like, that's a funny way to look at things.
01:49:14.000 So when I see somebody come at me and I'm just like, bro, you gotta understand how leverage works.
01:49:21.000 Right now we've got 31 members, I think, of the House Freedom Caucus who are challenging McCarthy, and good for them.
01:49:26.000 But we need more people who are gonna be like, If I'm here for two years, I'm here for two years.
01:49:31.000 You better work with me or you're going to regret it.
01:49:33.000 They might be able to come out and be like, we're going to campaign against you, we're going to work against you, we're going to ship you off committees, and I'm going to be like, then I'm going to make sure the next two years are worse off for you for it.
01:49:42.000 Or we can just say, truce, let's get through this one and make it work.
01:49:45.000 You know what I would do if I got into Congress?
01:49:47.000 First thing is I would get 432 headshots.
01:49:48.000 Is that how many people are in the house?
01:49:51.000 And I'd put them on my wall and I would memorize everyone's name and face.
01:49:51.000 432?
01:49:55.000 This is what I did in theater school.
01:49:56.000 When the new class would come in, I was like a sophomore, all the freshmen, I would stare at their headshots and memorize all their names and it created a community.
01:50:03.000 So I knew everybody when they would walk in.
01:50:04.000 I don't know.
01:50:05.000 I kind of feel like they maybe were just scared of you.
01:50:08.000 Like I'm imagining walking to a school and like some dude I know walking up being like, hey Tim, I'd be like, uh.
01:50:13.000 No, they were glad because they were all nervous and they were new and like you can be there for people and help people, you know, find comfort in these crazy high stress situations.
01:50:22.000 And I think just being there for them, the people in Congress, they need that right now.
01:50:25.000 They need like emotional support in addition to awesome policies like pulling carbon dioxide out of the air and turning it into graphene.
01:50:33.000 Let's read some more.
01:50:34.000 Christopher Hunter says, Yo, Michael, great to see you on.
01:50:36.000 I'd love to bring you back to Waco again.
01:50:38.000 It's been too long.
01:50:39.000 Much love to Tim Cast and crew.
01:50:40.000 Keep it weird, Ian.
01:50:42.000 I went to Waco not that long ago.
01:50:43.000 Went and checked out the Branch Davidian compound and got to see all the stuff there.
01:50:49.000 Yeah, tremendous.
01:50:49.000 Me too.
01:50:50.000 I was just up in Waco.
01:50:51.000 I did a private show.
01:50:52.000 Yeah, for sure.
01:50:54.000 I stopped by the Branch Davidian compound there where they have that church.
01:50:58.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:51:00.000 It's crazy to read all that stuff.
01:51:02.000 Things the U.S.
01:51:03.000 government is willing to do, and for what reason, I have no idea.
01:51:07.000 Mark Jones says FTX funded the Democrats someone needs to investigate and report.
01:51:13.000 And, uh, how much do you want to bet the Republicans don't?
01:51:17.000 Because they were also getting investments from FTX?
01:51:20.000 Well, a little bit.
01:51:21.000 Reportedly.
01:51:22.000 Not as much as the Democrats, but they got a lot of money as well.
01:51:25.000 They should give back that money.
01:51:26.000 The politicians who got the money from FTX right now should give it back to the people who had their money stolen from them immediately.
01:51:31.000 But it's not the politicians, it's the PACs.
01:51:34.000 The politicians are legally restricted on how much money they can receive from an individual.
01:51:37.000 So what happens is you get these super PACs that just take in 200-400 million dollars and And it gets a little seedy because it wasn't just FTX, it was a company called Alameda Research.
01:51:45.000 It was a sister company and it was being CEO'd by Sam Bankman-Fried's girlfriend.
01:51:50.000 And what it looks like is that FTX was funneling money to Alameda, Alameda was doing the investment for them.
01:51:57.000 DonkeyParadise says, Timothy, with all due respect, you know better than to give a pass on OnlyFans and the like.
01:52:02.000 Just ask yourself, the whole crew in fact, just ask each other, how would I feel if my daughter were doing this, my son supporting this?
01:52:09.000 Horrifying much?
01:52:11.000 An emotional con job evil.
01:52:13.000 I get it.
01:52:15.000 The challenge is, would I want my family on OnlyFans?
01:52:18.000 Absolutely not.
01:52:20.000 Do I want to deprive the right of consenting adults to exchange in goods?
01:52:25.000 No, I don't.
01:52:26.000 But that's the difference between libertarian and conservative.
01:52:28.000 Conservatives, of course, have no problem saying, like, dude, we are not going to allow a society where women stop working as police officers and nurses so that they can become porn stars for subscription fees.
01:52:38.000 And libertarians are kind of like, As long as you're not infringing on the rights of others, consenting adults can agree to do what they want.
01:52:43.000 I don't know, what do you guys think about all these things?
01:52:45.000 As long as there is informed consent.
01:52:48.000 I think people don't know about the long-term kind of negative consequences, especially when it comes to online pornography.
01:52:54.000 There's also another argument to make here that men wouldn't have access to women if it wasn't for that, that men's depression would go down because of that.
01:53:02.000 There's a lot of different arguments to make here, but it's a very complicated one.
01:53:06.000 Since this is such a new phenomenon that is taking society by storm, and it's really hard to quantify as of right now.
01:53:12.000 But overall, I don't think enough people know about the dangers of pornography.
01:53:17.000 Yeah, I'm kind of with you about consent.
01:53:19.000 I think it's a big part of this.
01:53:20.000 Do you know what you're getting into?
01:53:22.000 Here's the challenge.
01:53:23.000 This is based on a story I did on Twitch.
01:53:26.000 There are groomers who are going into the channels of young people and then offering them donations and money and subs in exchange for Certain activities that grooms them into doing worse and worse things.
01:53:39.000 Young people.
01:53:40.000 Young people.
01:53:41.000 So the study found some of these are even pre-pubescent children, but they're typically like young teenage girls.
01:53:45.000 Yeah.
01:53:46.000 And so they'll say, hey, do a handstand.
01:53:47.000 Hey, take your socks off.
01:53:49.000 And they increment and get it crazier and crazier.
01:53:49.000 Show me your feet.
01:53:52.000 And what they're doing is they're grooming kids into becoming only fan porn stars.
01:53:57.000 That's a major problem.
01:53:59.000 It's one thing if some adult is like, hey, I want to send some pics and get paid for it, and it's like, well, consenting adults.
01:54:04.000 It's another thing when you have people actively grooming children for these things, and it causes social degradation.
01:54:11.000 Yeah, and then we're going to look in the metaverse, and OnlyFans can easily morph into, like, your digital avatars having sex with their digital avatar for money.
01:54:18.000 And is the kid even, like, 18 yet?
01:54:20.000 Well, a lot of this boils down to the destruction of the family unit, which is one of the key factors when it comes to the larger takeover of society.
01:54:27.000 Sorry, go ahead.
01:54:28.000 That was all, yeah.
01:54:32.000 I have three children, and I have a 13-year-old and a 10-year-old.
01:54:35.000 Both have access to the internet, and I know, certainly, what they're doing and what they're looking at.
01:54:41.000 So, again, it does.
01:54:43.000 It comes down to the degradation of the family and the parents.
01:54:48.000 Where are the parents?
01:54:49.000 That's where I get conservative.
01:54:51.000 I kind of know the answer to that, I'm saying.
01:54:53.000 I actually find myself to be a little obsessively authoritarian about family life.
01:54:57.000 I try not to be.
01:54:58.000 But, like, I used to be lax a days ago and do whatever you want to do, go do it.
01:55:01.000 But then she starts, you know, stripping and, like, where do you say no?
01:55:05.000 Like, where do you draw the line in a relationship?
01:55:07.000 Like, how?
01:55:08.000 Informed consent.
01:55:09.000 We don't have any of that.
01:55:10.000 Yeah.
01:55:11.000 All right, Yardbird says, unpopular opinion and I don't care.
01:55:14.000 Michael Graves' Misfits is way better than Glenn Danzig's Misfits.
01:55:17.000 I bought American Psycho the day it dropped and I still jam to it this day.
01:55:21.000 Thank you.
01:55:22.000 There you go.
01:55:23.000 Bruce Sobolvaro says, if you pre-order Earth Simulacra 2, you get Pre-Dementia Joe Biden for the corruption DLC and extra campaign.
01:55:33.000 I need to get Pre-Dementia Joe Biden.
01:55:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:55:36.000 It's a limited edition.
01:55:37.000 It's rare.
01:55:37.000 He has that plagiarism ability.
01:55:38.000 He has that plagiarism ability.
01:55:40.000 Yeah, he can plagiarize foreign diplomats.
01:55:43.000 Can we make a game like that?
01:55:45.000 That'd be hilarious.
01:55:46.000 It'd be a great card game.
01:55:47.000 I wonder if they can add, you know, into, like, Civilization so I can make an expansion.
01:55:51.000 That'd be so funny.
01:55:52.000 A mod.
01:55:53.000 Yeah, with a bunch of, like, modern world leaders.
01:55:56.000 You know what?
01:55:57.000 Just let's be real.
01:55:58.000 Tremendous.
01:55:59.000 Think about how amazing it would be if you could play Civilization and play as Trump or Biden.
01:56:04.000 Or Obama or Hillary.
01:56:05.000 That'd be hot.
01:56:06.000 Like trying to negotiate with Trump and civilization would just be hilarious.
01:56:09.000 It'd be cool to play as corporations and play as Klaus Schwab.
01:56:11.000 You're gonna give me all your uranium or we're going to war.
01:56:14.000 It's like, I would prefer to avoid that.
01:56:16.000 I'm going to nuke you.
01:56:18.000 You could slap Trudeau.
01:56:20.000 Oh yeah.
01:56:21.000 I mean, I wonder if they probably had, it sounds like a reasonable thing they'd actually have.
01:56:25.000 Maybe there's a, no, they have to be able to do that.
01:56:27.000 Maybe there's like a likeness issue or something or copyright.
01:56:30.000 I don't know.
01:56:33.000 Okay.
01:56:36.000 Bree Sullivan says, Luke, you've said that we have to hold our politicians' feet to the fire, short of an actual fire pit.
01:56:41.000 How do we actually do that?
01:56:43.000 Don't support them unless they actually are doing the right things.
01:56:48.000 I think anyone... I think we also have to culturally, you know, make fun of people that worship politicians and then make them their whole entire personalities.
01:56:59.000 I think people need to be ostracized for saying, the politician's going to solve everything in my life.
01:57:03.000 I think culturally that's important.
01:57:06.000 I think also understanding our power and building communities and networks where we aren't dependent on government is also another way to do that.
01:57:14.000 And I think being open to criticizing your own side and all politicians is another key step that's important towards not just going along with the cult of personality.
01:57:25.000 Waffle Sensei says, do you think Trump could beat Putin in a fistfight?
01:57:29.000 Putin is like a trained assassin, I know, but he's so tiny and he acts afraid of Trump.
01:57:33.000 Oh, Putin would rip him up in a fight.
01:57:35.000 He's a ball of muscle.
01:57:36.000 I think he's a jujitsu.
01:57:37.000 I think he's a black belt.
01:57:39.000 Yeah, and in a fistfight?
01:57:42.000 Okay, fair point.
01:57:43.000 If grappling's out of the question and we're boxing, I mean, that's a good question.
01:57:46.000 Because Trump's got height and reach and mass.
01:57:50.000 But they're both really old.
01:57:52.000 They're so old.
01:57:55.000 Money's on the train, fighter.
01:57:57.000 Yes, I agree.
01:57:57.000 If it was a straight up fight, Putin, no doubt, because he's got the grapple techniques.
01:58:03.000 Even if Trump got the jump on him with like a chair, I think Putin would still take one and then be like... It looks like Putin might be quicker than him, too.
01:58:09.000 He's just got to get on the inside.
01:58:11.000 Work the inside.
01:58:12.000 Yeah, if he gets close.
01:58:15.000 Trump's bigger though, size matters.
01:58:17.000 But like Tyson, you know, Tyson would get in there and blow.
01:58:20.000 Trump could sit on him.
01:58:21.000 Trump would be like the Hulk or the Blob in X-Men.
01:58:24.000 And he'd like walk up and Putin would like hit him in the chest and Trump would just jiggle and go... And be like, oh no, you have to use special techniques on this guy.
01:58:34.000 I don't know though, I remember when that guy tried... It'd be a good fight.
01:58:38.000 Yeah.
01:58:38.000 What if, what if this, what if instead of war we had world leaders fight each other?
01:58:41.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:58:42.000 That'd be freaking great.
01:58:43.000 And then you basically just like, you want a world leader who's ripped and a well-trained fighter and who's got experience in combat.
01:58:50.000 And then, land dispute?
01:58:52.000 What are we disputing?
01:58:53.000 This territory?
01:58:53.000 How far in?
01:58:54.000 Okay.
01:58:55.000 Here's the arena.
01:58:56.000 Joe Rogan's commensating.
01:58:58.000 We get Dana White to run the whole thing.
01:59:00.000 They used to do it out of necessity.
01:59:01.000 Just like Rocky.
01:59:02.000 Two opposing armies would come up and rather than kill each other, they'd be like, send their best warrior to the front.
01:59:06.000 They'd duel.
01:59:07.000 Whoever won would win the battle.
01:59:09.000 Then they wouldn't kill each other and they'd be like, okay, you've made your point.
01:59:12.000 But when it but now then they invented ballistics and now they're like any any monkey can blast somebody.
01:59:17.000 Yeah.
01:59:20.000 I'm in the middle of some important administrative work.
01:59:22.000 Yes!
01:59:23.000 All right.
01:59:25.000 Back to where we were.
01:59:26.000 We'll grab we'll grab a couple more Super Chats.
01:59:30.000 Lillian May Briggs says McCarthy is the same as Ryan.
01:59:34.000 Yep.
01:59:35.000 Yeah.
01:59:35.000 There you go.
01:59:38.000 Juice Cyber Newtype says the media will get revived.
01:59:41.000 Willing to bet certain investors will make sure they can while Trump runs.
01:59:46.000 Perhaps, perhaps, but I don't know, I mean, what's, Twitter?
01:59:50.000 I'm also, here's what I'm worried about.
01:59:52.000 Meta is laying people off and on the downturn.
01:59:55.000 Twitter is laying people off and people are questioning, you know, what's going on, is it gonna last?
01:59:58.000 TikTok's expanding.
02:00:00.000 Yeah.
02:00:00.000 Interesting.
02:00:01.000 But even Democrats are now talking about banning TikTok, so they better.
02:00:04.000 Yeah.
02:00:05.000 Yeah, that's just funneling all your data to China and then messing with your kids.
02:00:09.000 It's a mind control device, 100%.
02:00:13.000 All right.
02:00:14.000 Dirtnap66 says, Tim, Biden is as a ghoul in Fallout.
02:00:17.000 I mean, it wouldn't take but a slight skin tone change.

02:02:01.000 Thanks, Ian.
02:02:02.000 Hey guys, check out Cast Castle if you haven't seen it yet.
02:02:04.000 TimCast.com.
02:02:05.000 This week's episode is lit.
02:02:07.000 It was an honor to have Coren Nemec do an episode with us.
02:02:10.000 I mean, Parker Lewis can't lose.
02:02:12.000 Stargate.
02:02:13.000 We had someone in Super Chat tell me a while back, they're like, Tim, if you're a fan of Star Trek, watch Stargate SG-1.
02:02:19.000 I did.
02:02:19.000 It's an amazing show.
02:02:21.000 Coren Nemec, of course.
02:02:22.000 Jonas Quinn in the show.
02:02:23.000 And so having him come here and do a bit with Ian was awesome.
02:02:27.000 He's a blast to work with.
02:02:28.000 So fun.
02:02:28.000 And I think it shows up in the movie itself, in the show itself.
02:02:32.000 So check it out.
02:02:32.000 Definitely gotta check it out.
02:02:34.000 We watched a couple episodes before we got on here.
02:02:37.000 I had never saw it before.
02:02:39.000 The one where Ian jams stuff up his ass was also very funny.
02:02:43.000 Yeah, that's last week's episode, no joke, and you should definitely check that out as well.
02:02:47.000 That was my idea!
02:02:47.000 You think we're joking, that's actually what he... I'm the mind genius behind that, just a heads up.
02:02:55.000 And iamstard.com.
02:02:56.000 Hope you guys liked today, it was a good one.
02:02:58.000 We will see you all over at timcast.com.
02:03:00.000 Become a member, and once a week we're gonna, I don't even know if we're gonna do five people, we're gonna try and grab just a handful, five, a minimum five, but maybe more, of the people who comment on our members-only content, and we're just going to hit you up and be like, where can we send you some, some schwag and knickknacks from the show?
02:03:16.000 And, um, it might often be a funny thing.
02:03:19.000 Like, you might get a piece of garbage.
02:03:21.000 Like, nothing gross, but like, I don't know, like, Luke's notepad or something.
02:03:25.000 Ian inserted into himself.
02:03:26.000 I would love to send you that.
02:03:28.000 But like Ian's rocks or something like that, whatever, whatever we're trying to get rid of off the table.
02:03:32.000 So thanks for hanging out everybody and we will see you all over at TimCast.com.
