On this week's episode of Power of the Future, the boys discuss the new anti-vaccination law in New York City, Juicy Smollett's testimony, and the departure of Devin Nunes from the House Intelligence Committee.
00:00:00.000New York City has implemented what is the most draconian lockdown we have ever seen.
00:00:12.000You now, if you live in New York City, need to have two vaccinations if you want to use any public accommodation, except for some exceptions.
00:00:19.000Now, all private sector workers must be fully vaccinated and All children ages 5 to 11 will need to have one dose of the vaccine.
00:00:30.000And this is where it gets a little murky.
00:00:32.000Do these 5 to 11 year olds need to have their IDs on them as well?
00:00:36.000Because the decree, as was put out by de Blasio, stated not only did you need a vaccination card, you needed an ID.
00:00:45.000Are parents going to get their kids ID'd or how is this going to work?
00:00:49.000This is the most extreme mandate we have seen in the country and it certainly won't be the worst we've seen yet or I should say only yet because it will likely get worse over in Europe, in Germany, Austria.
00:01:00.000They are implementing outright lockdowns for those who are unvaccinated and it's resulted in rioting which has been going on for the past several weeks And likely will continue.
00:01:10.000And I think, I don't know what'll happen in New York City because the deeply blue place where everybody just seems to be on board with getting, you know, three or four vaccines or whatever.
00:01:18.000But I think if this spreads beyond New York City into other areas, you might actually see these protests.
00:02:11.000And I'm wearing one of my favorite t-shirts that I absolutely love to wear.
00:02:17.000It was really fun wearing this t-shirt in Austin since there's a lot of communists and conservatives there.
00:02:22.000I remember meeting a young... I think he was a communist because when he first saw my shirt and he saw the picture of Karl Marx he was excited and giddy and talking and then midway he read the headline of what it says here and it says a quote from a homeless man which says, and I reach to you carefully, Gives me that's and then his demeanor change and the guy he got a whole week And then he didn't want to help me around the store Conservative kind of like jeered at me like and then he like finally read the shirt and he was like, I love this shirt It's freaking awesome And if you want this shirt You could get it officially on the best political shirts comm and support me and my efforts that way and Ian I have to say you look like you got jumped by some Teletubbies recently.
00:04:57.000But let's jump in to that first big story.
00:05:00.000Ladies and gentlemen, the most draconian lockdown we have seen yet.
00:05:04.000From NBC New York, NYC expands vaccine mandate to whole private sector.
00:05:09.000Ups dose proof to 2 and adds kids 5 to 11.
00:05:14.000Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the expansion Monday amid yet another COVID surge, driving case rates up across the five boroughs.
00:05:21.000All private sector workers in New York will be subject to the mayor's vaccine mandate starting December 27th, affecting 184,000 businesses.
00:05:29.000While vaccine proof for indoor dining, fitness and entertainment will be required for children ages 5 to 11, according to a toughened vaccine mandate announced by Bill de Blasio on Monday.
00:05:39.000The current rule will also expand the required two dose required to two doses instead of proof of only one.
00:05:44.000As for people age 12 and older, as they are concerned, the mayor said that excludes people who are vaccinated with Johnson and Johnson's single dose shot, which is interesting.
00:05:54.000Kids aged 5 to 11 only need to show proof of one dose when the requirement for them kicks in on December 14th considering they only first became eligible for the initial dose early in November and must wait at least 21 days.
00:06:04.000De Blasio hinted late last week the changes to these policies blah blah blah and I wonder if they're going to make the kids present their identification now.
00:06:12.000What this mandate means is that 30, I believe the number is 30.9% of New York state residents will not be able to use these public accommodations in New York City.
00:06:24.000I don't know what the full VAX rate is for the city, but that's the state.
00:06:27.000And nationwide, this means 40 point, I believe, what is it?
00:06:32.00040.1% of American citizens will not be able to go to New York City as tourists and use any of these public accommodations.
00:06:39.000So this is Outright setting up restrictions, controls, may as well put up borders and checkpoints around the city because they're basically saying a certain segment of the country will not be welcome in this place and you know what?
00:06:53.000The people who are not vaccinated most likely, we know this actually most of them are from the black community, and then I would imagine many of the others are more likely to be moderate or conservative.
00:07:03.000Those people will likely leave and New York City will just become a ridiculous mess of deep blue progressive leftist whatever.
00:07:39.000This is only going to further the political divide, further people moving out of New York City.
00:07:43.000And the mayor really used very interesting language to kind of describe what he's doing.
00:07:48.000He said that this is a quote, preemptive strike.
00:07:51.000Which is very fitting for him to do that because of preemptive start strike is when you attack people and kill them preemptively before doing anything else that was that was it my words that was literally build a Blasio saying introducing this policy say we need to do this because of Omicron Omicron here we have to do this even though.
00:08:07.000But all the initial reports are saying that people who have omnicrime are the people who are vaccinated
00:08:12.000So well, I don't know about that, but they're saying it's definitely mild and I think even Fauci brought that up
00:08:16.000But but also he's gonna be mandating small business owners All businesses in new york are gonna have to do this
00:08:22.000And so we've got this report out of the daily mail. These businesses are saying we are going to lose employees. So a
00:08:28.000battered economy People are already struggling and bill de blasio. Look I
00:08:33.000said it before i'll say it again I believe he intentionally is trying to destroy this city
00:08:37.000And people say, that's a bold claim, Tim, why would he do that?
00:08:39.000Because in the past, Bill de Blasio said, we are going to buy up these buildings for pennies on the dollar and convert them to public housing.
00:08:47.000So there you go, there's his motive, there's his intent.
00:08:50.000When you got a guy who's like, my intention Is to buy cheap property that's big and we can turn into public housing.
00:08:57.000And then all of a sudden he starts implementing policy after policy by decree that destroys property value.
00:10:27.000I mean, clearly what they're doing is unconstitutional.
00:10:30.000And this is already ruled by the courts numerous times as it pertains to Joe Biden.
00:10:35.000So Joe Biden's like, I hereby decree federal workers have to do this.
00:10:38.000And then multiple courts are like, nope.
00:10:40.000And the private sector lawsuits are already going through.
00:10:43.000And the Republicans are saying they're gonna vote this down through their special power that the Senate has to challenge an executive order.
00:10:51.000We know Joe Biden is pushing the boundaries.
00:10:59.000We need someone to run for office as a Democrat, make all the promises in the world, and then just go nuts and decree the most ludicrous things.
00:11:26.000No, I mean I mean like he could literally just be like it's for me I want to I want to go to a strip club give me the money and I do it I'd make everyone wear hats again You look at those old photos of New York in the 30s and 40s and everyone's wearing a hat I would make everyone in New York has to wear a hat outside have to wear a hat.
00:11:44.000And if you can determine any policy because it's for the good of people, whether it's their health, well, I think aesthetic is very, very healthy as well.
00:11:51.000Y'all think we're joking at home, but they actually shut down churches and mosques and synagogues.
00:11:58.000And they went to the Jewish neighborhood and shut down schools.
00:12:05.000So that the Jewish community couldn't have access to these things?
00:12:08.000Yo, if we have a politician who's outright like, you know that, what's the amendment where you're allowed to speak and practice your religion?
00:12:20.000Shut down the churches, and then even the courts were like, well, we're gonna allow this, and then no one did anything.
00:12:25.000That person will become the new CEO of Twitter.
00:12:28.000You know, if you have that philosophy, that's how you get a promotion.
00:12:32.000If we're at the point where these Democrats have literally just openly and assuredly and confidently violated the Constitution and the police said, okay, you know, man, I'm sorry if I'm a little pessimistic sometimes, but right there, no one, where were the people in New York to be like, we're not doing this?
00:12:50.000I mean, there were a lot of people who did, but certainly not enough.
00:12:52.000And it was a year ago, and you can all see the footage online, New Year's Eve, where de Blasio and his wife danced in Times Square and all of New York was shut down.
00:13:01.000They weren't allowed to go to the Times Square.
00:13:02.000There was no ball drop, but he was there with his wife dancing because he was the mayor and he was allowed and he wasn't masked.
00:13:31.000I mean, look, de Blasio dancing in Times Square after he mandated everyone be kicked out, and no one cares.
00:13:38.000I mean, I'm sure a lot of people care, but not enough to be like, hey, this guy's bad.
00:13:42.000Obama had a huge birthday party which was supposed to be limited in number and had hundreds of celebrities coming from all around the world flying on their private jets to celebrate this as the corporate media was literally making excuses saying that the sophisticated crowd don't have to follow the specific rules and regulations that everyone else does.
00:14:02.000That's pretty much what they're trying to establish here and they've been doing it pretty successfully because when you look at these kind of Decrees, and I call them decrees, these mandates, these supposed laws.
00:14:12.000They're just literally politicians saying, I'm going to play God for a day.
00:14:15.000When you look at who these decrees affect, it's small and middle-class businesses because they can't afford to now hire a security guard to check everyone's paper.
00:14:23.000They can't afford to keep employees on the payroll, especially with a labor shortage that's absolutely eviscerating and destroying their livelihoods and ability to even have a business.
00:14:33.000Who can be okay with these businesses, with these regulations, with these rules, with these decrees?
00:14:42.000They could afford a loss here as everyone else gets eviscerated.
00:14:46.000So this is not only perpetuating the larger transfer of wealth and recorded human history, this is also accelerating the political segregation that's forcing a lot of people in New York City.
00:14:55.000I used to live in New York City before COVID.
00:15:04.000I'm going to go somewhere where I'm respected, where I have freedom, where I have liberty, where I have sovereignty, where I am a human being and I could actually live my life without a jackboot thug officer looking over my shoulder demanding my paperwork identification with every little thing I do.
00:15:19.000What's happening in Europe right now, people are having dinners, police officers coming over them saying, give me your paperwork right now or we're going to punish you or we're going to steal more money from you or we're going to beat the crap out of you or we're going to put you in jail is absolutely insane and it's a violation of human rights.
00:15:34.000I would argue it's actually a bit worse in New York City because the people who are enforcing this are the citizens.
00:15:57.000But in New York, you look at Germany and you look to Austria and you know who the Nazis are.
00:16:02.000You see the video out of Austria where the cops walk up to a random guy in the mall and they're like, give us your papers, and he pulls out his papers.
00:16:08.000But in New York, it's the people themselves.
00:16:11.000And this is a very clever thing done by the Democratic establishment and the people in New York, that they're like, we're having this, and our enforcers will be you.
00:16:22.000So when you walk into the restaurant, it's the people who work there who say, no, no, no, you have to do this, otherwise we'll get in trouble.
00:17:01.000Yeah, you know what's fascinating is where New York is protecting the integrity of their healthcare system by mandating these requirements and the identification that you are compliant with the requirement, but when it comes to the integrity of their elections, if you propose an ID system, They would.
00:17:28.000And quite frankly, if I had a five-year-old and they were like, we want to take his picture for an ID, I'd be like, listen, creepy Jeffrey Epstein person, I don't know who you are taking a photo of my five-year-old, but we don't, he doesn't need a five-year-old ID.
00:17:40.000You get, they'll probably say, no, no, that's crazy, you don't need an ID for this, just your VAX card.
00:17:46.000Well, the VAX card is effectively a form of identification.
00:17:50.000But no, no, every place in New York City that does these, and they're becoming more rarer by the day, you need to show your identification with your VAX card so that people could validate that it's your VAX card.
00:17:59.000How else can you validate that it's someone's VAX card if you don't have a proper form of identification?
00:18:03.000And you've mentioned small businesses in New York, and I'm even born and raised in New York City, and my whole family is basically still in New York City, and you talk about living there.
00:18:11.000Like, you go to a deli or a pizzeria, the guy who owns it makes the pizza, does the cash register.
00:18:17.000If you have to add on top of his responsibilities, can I see your VAX card before I... I just, what do you want, a slice?
00:18:50.000So I recently, I did a fast over a day during the holidays, because actually the day before we were gonna have our Thanksgiving dinner, I'm like, I am not eating today.
00:18:58.000And then tomorrow, I am going to have Thanksgiving.
00:19:40.000They said what separates from concentration camps from normal prisons is that there is no due process and you are taken without any chance to defend yourself, go to trial, anything like that.
00:19:50.000So it is different if you fly in somewhere and you know by going here you will be subject to this.
00:19:56.000What's going on in Australia is very different.
00:19:57.000They're going to people's homes and taking them without due process.
00:20:00.000Now they say this woman from Edmonton, Alberta She had to stay in a quarantine hotel in Toronto after flying back from Ethiopia.
00:20:08.000The woman did not eat as the facility did not provide her with gluten-free food.
00:20:12.000Celiacs can become seriously unwell if they break their strict diet.
00:20:15.000The woman and her husband had to quarantine until they received a negative test result, as they had been to South Africa recently.
00:20:21.000This is despite the fact that her husband had three doses and she had two.
00:20:25.000They were quarantined at the Hilton Hotel.
00:20:27.000The woman said she had to be careful with the food she eats.
00:20:29.000So I've known people with celiacs who get, like, sick to the point of hospitalization if they eat gluten.
00:22:19.000There was multiple stories of women getting assaulted.
00:22:22.000There's multiple stories of security guards literally going into the rooms, which they have to keep open for security guards.
00:22:28.000Security guards having their way with people.
00:22:31.000Again, family-friendly show, so we're not going to go too into the details here, but absolutely disgusting things have happened all in the name of government looking out for your safety and security, and they're not doing any of those.
00:22:48.000This is all about slowly pushing you to comply with a bigger and bigger and bigger request.
00:22:54.000And it's only going to get worse from here, in my opinion.
00:22:56.000I think the message takeaway, if it's possible, is what we saw with a lot of the Biden mandates when people just said, I'm not going to comply.
00:23:03.000And then the courts ruled in our favor and said, yeah, this is a total violation.
00:23:07.000Hopefully New Yorkers, it's gonna take one small business to be the first one to say, you know what, we're not checking IDs.
00:23:16.000And then another will follow and another will follow.
00:23:18.000But that first person to take that risk, though, is... Well, it's happened.
00:23:47.000But businesses, especially if you run a business in New York City, you know you can't do everything.
00:23:52.000So to enforce this ridiculous decree where everyone has to give up their their ID and medical records just to go into a store I mean, even the people who do comply aren't for this because people forget their papers, they lose their papers, they lose their documents.
00:24:05.000Their whole identification system is on a piece of paper that literally anyone could print out, which the federal authorities have made illegal to do so.
00:24:12.000Well, using federal government logos or anything like that.
00:25:28.000And it's not just New York City that I experienced a lot of ... people just not complying not going along with this nonsense ... it's also being reported in Ottawa that by and large their ... vaccine mandate has failed because of the labor shortages ... and businesses not being able to be open because of these ... strict rules and regulations that they have on people and ... another aspect of these mandates that we have to ... understand here they're they're cruel and unusual ... because also of the larger question of liability.
00:25:54.000So if I get hurt and I get forced to take this vaccine, who's liable?
00:26:01.000The person who forced you to do this, the government that forced you to do this, the pharma that created this product, they're not liable for anything that happens to you if you are hurt or injured during the process of this Uh, you know, vaccine.
00:26:14.000So that's another aspect of it that people need to understand.
00:26:16.000And, and, you know, a lot of people are asking the very basic question, you know, you really want me to take this.
00:26:20.000Why don't you take some liability on yourself?
00:26:22.000So there's stories of people coming forward and saying, look, I'll print a liability form.
00:26:27.000You just guarantee liability for yourself if you're forcing me to do this.
00:26:31.000And many businesses are like, okay, you don't have to take the vaccine.
00:26:34.000I told people, if you work for a company that says we're doing a vaccine mandate, show up the next day and be like, I think it's wonderful.
00:26:42.000Now, this is a liability waiver saying that you as an employer are requiring this for me and you assume all risks associated with the medical procedure.
00:27:24.000And then you got to include it to something like, in the event of the dissolution of the business, the liability folds over to the company's owners and principal officers, et cetera, et cetera.
00:27:32.000And then see how fast they say, I can't sign that.
00:27:35.000They'll be like, oh, you wanted me to assume the liability for this medical procedure?
00:27:40.000Maybe you've got some great lawyer who's listening to the podcast right now who can make those Readily available online.
00:27:45.000They are available online and people have been printing them and they've been being shared and I've been hearing multiple stories of people printing this out and saying, you know, you want me to get this?
00:28:03.000If they say no to that, you have a backup and say, oh, okay.
00:28:05.000Well, the next one says that you are refusing to assume the liabilities for requirement of the vaccine and thus will not be punishing me because you decided you didn't want to sign this form.
00:28:17.000So, I mean, you could do clever things.
00:28:18.000You could say, like, the liability waiver is actually like a request form.
00:28:23.000Like, this is the document saying that you are hereby requesting I get the vaccine for continued employment.
00:28:28.000And then, you know, it also includes assumption of liability and all the standard legal stuff for your request.
00:28:33.000And then if they say, whoa, whoa, I don't want to sign that.
00:28:36.000You can be like, well, if you refuse to sign the document saying you require me to get the vaccine,
00:28:40.000sign this one saying you are hereby exempting me from the vaccine.
00:28:45.000They'll be like, oh, I won't sign either. You just gotta do it.
00:28:47.000Like, oh, then sign the one that says I gotta do it. Prove it.
00:28:49.000Yeah, or just respecting people's exemptions.
00:28:52.000There's people who literally can't take the vaccine because of allergies, because of previous medical conditions, because of religious beliefs.
00:28:59.000You have to respect people's, individuals' beliefs.
00:29:03.000And their own individual medical history.
00:29:05.000We get it, but we're so far beyond that at this point.
00:29:41.000So I don't know what else to tell you other than get out of cities because people in New York keep voting for the same thing.
00:29:46.000And so long as you've got people living in the matrix and you don't want to live there, well, you got to choose, take the blue or red pill.
00:29:50.000I would say New York City is copying Europe's homework Europe is copying Australia's homework and that's the plan that they literally have envisioned for everyone in particular stages they just call it different names but essentially when you see the larger implication of this social credit score police state that they're Putting on to everyone it's happening in different layers in different stages New York City is going where Europe is and in Europe it's it's going to such an insane level where Italy just joined Austria and Germany with their new lockdowns against the unvaccinated people and they just implemented their super
00:30:25.000Green Pass but Austria is literally putting forward a decree that by February 15th people have to be vaccinated or face penalties from the state which may include fines or jail time for not taking a vaccine which means if you're at home you don't even go outside you're on you're on lockdown because of the government you still will be punished for sitting at home in isolation by yourself the government is making legalese language Exempt from the Nuremberg Code to literally force their way into your life, even if you don't participate in society.
00:31:02.000The Nuremberg Code thing is hyperbole.
00:31:04.000It's people who don't understand what it says.
00:31:06.000A post-millennial put out an article saying that European Union chiefs want to do with the Nuremberg Code.
00:31:16.000She didn't say that, but they're implying it because... She said that we should maybe have a vaccine mandate.
00:31:21.000She didn't even say we should... She didn't say, we're gonna do this.
00:31:24.000She said, maybe this is something European countries should do.
00:31:27.000And then someone took that and said, well, that would violate the Nuremberg Code, because the Nuremberg Code says to participate in an experiment requires consent.
00:31:34.000And so I'm like, okay, y'all are playing semantic manipulation.
00:31:37.000Break this down properly, because here's what's going to happen.
00:31:39.000You're gonna get someone who's gonna see that story from the post-millennial, and I like them.
00:31:45.000But they're gonna be at a family gathering or whatever, and they're gonna say, the chief European Union lady said she wants to get rid of the Nuremberg Code now!
00:31:52.000And then they're gonna pull up on Google and be like, she literally never said anything of the sort.
00:31:55.000She said she wanted to start a conversation about mandating vaccines throughout all the European Union.
00:32:01.000Which then if you start from there and talk about what to what degree the vaccine is experimental.
00:32:07.000So you know the argument is that because there's no long-term testing and because they don't have the insert says like we don't know the risks to pregnant women people are arguing well that means it is experimental and it's like Sure, there's a big difference between saying we're going to force someone to drink vodka and watch Ratatouille, you know, because that's like some of the experiments they do at these universities.
00:32:26.000That's actually one of the ones I did.
00:32:28.000They gave me vodka and then I watched, I think I watched Ratatouille.
00:32:38.000The Nuremberg Code specifically is like, if we're going to bring you to a lab and do studies on you, you have to consent to it.
00:32:44.000To say that someone is getting an emergency vaccine and that's violating the Nuremberg Code is like, well, you could get your lawyers in there and make that argument, but all I'm saying is, call it whatever you want, make sure your language is precise, otherwise...
00:33:06.000I'm just saying, you know, people are talking about the Nuremberg Code without actually having looking into the source material, and you will lose arguments.
00:33:13.000You will not convince anybody by being hyperbolic.
00:33:16.000But can we just back up and recognize the fact that, like, Italy and Germany are making an alliance?
00:34:12.000It's not so much that a bunch of, you know, German military men of some degree are marching through the night with torches.
00:34:21.000It's that Germany is also implementing lockdowns for the unvaccinated.
00:34:26.000We're seeing in Australia, not this, outside of Germany, the internment camps where you will be taken from your home with no due process and then detained in a little tiny box where they tell you you can only go outside to do your laundry.
00:34:39.000You can't, or you have a balcony, sorry, but you can't cross the line, you'll be fined $5,000.
00:34:47.000Italy, Austria, all coming together and being like, we are going to mandate this injection upon the populace, otherwise you can't have food.
00:34:55.000And now they're marching around with torches.
00:34:57.000Does their camp have a little sign above it that says the vaccine sets you free or something like that?
00:35:04.000Those are the arguments that government bureaucrats have been making.
00:35:07.000Take this vaccine, do as you're told, and you're going to gain your freedoms back.
00:35:11.000You're going to gain your access to society back.
00:35:14.000You're going to be able to go to a restaurant and purchase food.
00:35:18.000Well, even Biden has hinted at that, you know, more than hinted at it.
00:35:23.000And that's such a such a backwards in our life kind of critical way of ...
00:35:27.000thinking that we have to we have to first understand on ...
00:35:30.000face value they're the ones who took away normal life ...
00:35:33.000they're the ones who take a took away economic prosperity ...
00:35:36.000they're the ones who took away our ability to live a normal ...
00:35:40.000prosperous happy healthy life they're the ones literally ...
00:35:43.000implementing policies that have created more depression ...
00:35:46.000more suicide black of economic opportunities have ...
00:35:49.000impoverished people and literally have stolen their ...
00:35:52.000dollar as it sits in their hands the value that the value ...
00:35:56.000of the dollar B is being extremely devalued.
00:35:59.000And people are finding that less and less, they have the ability to do anything that they want, and every aspect of their existence is being tightly regulated and controlled by bureaucrats who think they're gods ruling over you.
00:36:12.000The funny thing is, this is actually an old story.
00:36:44.000So the funny thing is, when they announced that they were gonna be locking down anybody
00:36:48.000who didn't get the vaccine, a lot of people were like, oh, there's Germany getting back to tradition
00:36:54.000and getting back to their roots of, you know, mandated medical procedures.
00:36:58.000And then this photo is actually old and people are like, hey, maybe something's been going on in Germany that we haven't been paying attention to.
00:37:31.000He was like, you started a war against- The world!
00:37:34.000So you don't get to be a country anymore, because look what happens when we just let them keep doing their things.
00:37:40.000It's a weird thing, but you know what I love the most about the European Union and Germany?
00:37:44.000Is that we literally have two wars and a cold war in an attempt to prevent the consolidation of power in Europe under one governing authority.
00:37:52.000And then Germany comes along and they're like, hey guys, let's do this union thing.
00:37:58.000Your currencies will all be devalued, and then you'll have to borrow from us, and Germany basically becomes the dominant power in the European Union.
00:38:06.000I have a pretty lit friend on the right who I won't say his name, but who has a whole theory that Germany is the worst country in the history of civilization.
00:38:13.000Because starting, and he's very, very Catholic, starting with Martin Luther and the Reformation, and he goes through every 1,500 years, something has come from Immanuel Kant, something comes out of Germany that is destructive to the rest of the Western values, ending with the Green Movement in Germany.
00:38:32.000He's like, I have evidence that Germany's, no offense to any of your German listeners, Germany is the worst country in the history of Western civilization.
00:39:20.000I think the white nationalists don't identify with the communists, but I'm like, yo.
00:39:25.000You guys need to rethink ideology because you have no idea what you're talking about because you just sound really dumb when we look at Germany and like, hey, all of the bad stuff, like the extremist ideologies of that era mostly came from like these places.
00:39:41.000You know, the people who came to the Americas were just kind of like, yo, we want to do our thing, even if it means like landing a boat on a barren shore in the woods and just building right there.
00:39:50.000And like these people would get on these boats and they'd be like, well, One-fifth of the people on these boats are going to die before we even make it there.
00:39:58.000And then once we do, another half will die before winter comes.
00:41:11.000And that privilege and that luck is slowly being taken away from us by a sinister group of really bad billionaire corporatists.
00:41:18.000But throughout history, when you look at history, they not only tell very interesting tales, but One common thread is always these crazy make megalomaniac people trying to rule the entire world trying to take over the entire world whether it was Caesar Napoleon Genghis Khan Alexander the Great Hillary Clinton Attila the Hun Vlad the Impaler there was always a
00:41:39.000A group of people that wanted the entire world for themselves.
00:41:44.000And I think it would be naive to think that there isn't another kind of person or group that wants to do that today.
00:41:51.000And I think a lot of the crazy policies that violate human rights are their way of doing it, of slowly incrementally putting it on us without us noticing that there is someone trying to have control of Every day.
00:42:41.000The point was, in that film, they make the point that during war, they'd be like, OK, we're all going to go out and march and kill each other, but spare the officers.
00:42:49.000And Cornwallis was like, could you imagine what battlefields would be like without gentlemen in charge?
00:43:31.000And I think the more we're moving from modern warfare, we're moving into a different form where I think it's psychological.
00:43:38.000I think people inflicting harm on themselves after being brainwashed and propagandized is an aspect of this that we should be entertaining because If you look at the kind of biggest increase in cause of death, suicide and deaths of despair are becoming more and more common and they're growing every single day.
00:43:56.000So I wouldn't be surprised if that's another layer, another aspect of fourth-generational warfare or some people would say fifth-generational warfare.
00:44:05.000I think we have to entertain all of those aspects especially because this concept of one person bombing and attacking and conquering another place has failed throughout human history and I think there's powerful people who are a lot smarter than that and they have started to implement it in a different way where it's not really that obvious because if it was too many people would resist them just like in recorded human history they resisted them and they weren't able to fully successfully take over.
00:44:33.000We have this story from the post-millennial.
00:44:35.000Trump's new media platform and rumble have distribution deal.
00:44:39.000There is a lot of good to discuss here.
00:44:41.000There's also a decent amount of bad and concern.
00:44:43.000And the notable thing here is they say, Howard Lutnick, The CEO of Rumble's parent company, Cantor Fitzgerald, stated on Monday that they have worked out a distribution deal with Donald Trump's planned Truth social media platforms.
00:44:56.000I want to say right now, when they say that, the CEO of Rumble's parent company is Cantor Fitzgerald.
00:45:03.000That means Rumble is now a subsidiary of institutional Wall Street investment firms that are one of 24 investment firms that can do direct dealings with the Federal Reserve.
00:45:14.000So this does not sound to me like an independent, free, safe place to run your business.
00:45:20.000It sounds just like they're building the B-side to big tech.
00:45:25.000However, that being said, you were saying earlier that this Lutnick guy was like a big Trump supporter?
00:45:29.000Yes, the CEO of Kenneth Fitzgerald is.
00:45:36.000I mean, we do need alternatives, and I think a plurality of voices is the way to go.
00:45:41.000But yeah, I share your concern that if it's just owned by another Wall Street company who is going to have to follow SEC regulations, and SEC regulations under this administration could be, unless 75% of the board of all of your subsidiaries are made up of people who we agree with their political persuasion, then you can't
00:46:00.000get your, you know, you can't trade on, you can't trade on the big board.
00:46:05.000There's a possibility here that this is a massive concerted effort among powerful interests
00:46:11.000to counter the woke establishment big tech.
00:46:15.000Because Rumble getting this access and getting this investment, getting this power, could be a good thing if you believe in this stuff.
00:46:22.000I think the bigger risk is, you know, Ian mentioned this, as soon as they open, as soon as they go public with the, they did a SPAC, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, Rumble opens the door to Vanguard, was it State Street, BlackRock, buying up percentages of the company and then putting pressure on them, and then they're basically just Google again.
00:46:38.000So it's almost like there's a fear of a controlled opposition.
00:46:41.000If the company remained private, we have more reason to believe that they'll actually stick to their principles and not censor and ban people.
00:46:48.000But let's read a little bit of the news here first, and then we'll get into the tech stuff.
00:46:51.000Truth and the 45th president are going to use Rumble's infrastructure, their technology,
00:46:55.000their cloud distribution capability, so they are going to be a service provider,
00:47:00.000a tech provider to the president's truth social, Lutnick told interviewer John Bachman on his
00:47:05.000John Bachman Now show for some—they got Joe Rogan here for some reason.
00:47:09.000Rumble, a video-based pro-free speech platform, works in a similar manner to other streaming services, and full disclosure, we here at TimCast, we use Rumble infrastructure, and we are more confident we won't get banned there, but that being said, we'll speak honestly.
00:47:22.000Let Nick continue during the interview.
00:47:24.000What this is, is people with political ideology being asked to leave YouTube.
00:47:30.000It's a broad group of people who don't want to be censored.
00:47:34.000They want to be able to speak their minds, speak their truths, and speak their opinions.
00:47:37.000So I think Rumble, which is neutral down the middle, I think it's going to get a huge following of people who just want to speak their minds.
00:47:44.000Lutnick further iterated that Rumble, after the deal struck with this company, will now have the money to now go do whatever they want to do.
00:47:52.000I mean, that's potentially good news, right?
00:47:54.000Right off the bat, this means that all the people who are worried about not having a way to compete with YouTube's infrastructure can now go somewhere else and there's going to be revenue there.
00:48:04.000What Rumble needs to do right now is they need to use as much money as they can To create a comparable partner program that YouTube has, because the number one thing that keeps people from leaving this platform is audience size, but more importantly, for newer creators and new talent, it's the fact that YouTube is subsidized by Google, Alphabet, whatever.
00:48:26.000So YouTube costs Google money, but they subsidize it so that people stay on this platform.
00:48:35.000If Rumble can do the same thing, and I also think they do gotta clean up their interface, and you know, their website needs a, you know, it's a little, little messy, then people are gonna be like, look, if I'm gonna start a channel somewhere, why go on YouTube?
00:48:47.000Someone is making a new channel who's gonna speak out and speak up against all this, you know, this BS going on around the world, they're gonna say, if I go on YouTube, I'll get a strike, right?
00:48:55.000Like Elijah Schaefer and Sidney Watson, for instance, on You Are Here, they've gotten how many strikes already?
00:49:01.000Already and the show's new so there's gonna be a lot of people being like I just do it on rumble I don't have you know people without big followings without a ton of followers We'll just be like I'll start a rumble channel And then at the very least I can make money there the exact same way I could make it on YouTube It's funny, the same article, I assume this is from today or the last couple days, this article, Axios has a totally different spin, where I think the headline is, I should pull it up, the headline is something like the right-wing echo chamber.
00:49:29.000And it's funny, first of all, to think that the left isn't just one echo chamber, right?
00:49:34.000Every single publication, newspaper, TV outlet is literally just saying the exact same thing as the DNC.
00:49:41.000And it's insulting to call it an echo chamber, because it's not, it's a platform.
00:50:06.000Just because different right-wing websites exist doesn't mean people don't read other news.
00:50:13.000An echo chamber would be a cultural phenomenon where people are like, I'm not going to watch any other news.
00:50:18.000But we know from the data, conservatives get about a third of their news from mainstream liberal or leftist sources, whereas liberals get 5%.
00:50:26.000So what we're actually seeing here, the news is, right wing media emerges.
00:50:30.000And it's not even right wing, it's independent, moderate, libertarian, and conservative.
00:50:36.000The YouTube front page you go on that and it's the same voices the same political opinions regurgitate
00:50:41.000Regurgitated to you in so many different formats. I'm skeptical news whenever you sorry
00:50:47.000Whenever you swipe to the left and you get to the news thing
00:50:49.000I look at Apple look at the top stories on Apple News echo chamber
00:50:52.000So sorry same talking points the same headlines same kind of narrative
00:50:56.000Nothing deviating from, of course, the larger agenda that's set against the American people.
00:51:00.000But, you know, I'm skeptical of Rumble, but it's going to be very interesting to see how they're going to kind of traverse this online landscape, where they're going to go, how they're going to be different.
00:51:10.000Or if they're just going to be sellouts.
00:51:11.000I'm skeptical because of things like the ESG, the Environmental Social Justice and Government Social Credit score that a lot of top companies have to be compliant with.
00:51:19.000And the more essentially woke you are, the more you sell out to the agenda and narrative, the better score you have, the more investment money you have, the more economic opportunities you have, the better evaluations you have.
00:51:31.000So this is a key indicator of how it's going to be playing out for many large corporations.
00:51:37.000So to see Rumble in this system, If it's going to be played by it, if it's going to be destroyed by it, I think it's worth starting a conversation about because it's going to be very interesting to see if this is just going to be another sellout major big tech company that has a bunch of people at the top who want to make a bunch of money, or if it's going to be something that actually challenges the status quo, challenges the current infrastructure that people have to fight with, that destroys free speech in the First Amendment.
00:52:37.000It's not, but I still think this is a big net positive, as much as I don't think it's a permanent solution.
00:52:42.000They mention at Post Millennial that Trump's anti-big tech social media startup raised $1 billion from investors over the weekend to fund the digital venture.
00:52:50.000Quote, $1 billion sends an important message to big tech that censorship and political discrimination must end.
00:52:56.000America is ready for Truth Social, a platform that will not discriminate on the basis of political ideology, Trump stated.
00:53:01.000This will be interesting because look, I signed up for a Rumble.
00:53:22.000Well, at any rate, this is one I will actually immediately sign up for.
00:53:26.000I'll be like, okay, you know, I'll use this.
00:53:29.000Because it's Donald Trump, there's power behind it, and there's gonna be a big push from everybody who wants to follow Donald Trump to be on that platform that makes it viable.
00:53:40.000One of the things that makes it really difficult for all these other alternative platforms is, are there people there to talk to?
00:53:45.000YouTube's got it, Twitter's got it, Facebook has it, but no one really cares about Facebook for the most part.
00:53:50.000Now these alternatives, they don't really have it that much.
00:54:12.000I actually think we might be saying what I've long been asking for.
00:54:16.000So I don't want to rain on the parade, you know?
00:54:18.000Now that we're seeing this deal and we're seeing this investment and this infrastructure, it looks like a lot of free speech voices, or at the very least people who are mad about being censored, are being like, if we don't do something against big tech, we will lose.
00:54:32.000And I've been saying that over and over again.
00:54:34.000They think they can go in and say, Section 230 reform, and I'm like, yo, You're sitting on fat stacks.
00:54:40.000Why don't you just be like, okay, here's $10 million to fund the initial infrastructure to get this going?
00:55:17.000The government is coming after Trump and a social media platform because I think it actually is a threat to their established narrative BS.
00:55:26.000It's gonna be it's gonna be interesting because Trump kind of plays like he's a part of the establishment and then kind of counters the establishment.
00:55:34.000I obviously don't have a lot of hope in him personally myself after his latest moves, especially with some of the interviews that he's been given on Fox News.
00:55:42.000Recently Schilling for of course big pharma.
00:55:47.000That's my understanding of it So to see the government kind of hit him I think it's more personal than it is anything else and I think there's a bigger fight here And we have to acknowledge that fight is happening But I still see it as one wing of the same bird kind of slapping each other at the end of the day From my own perspective.
00:56:04.000I think if you are the social media platforms Look at what Zuckerberg did in the 2020 election through Facebook, and how he, I mean, Molly Hemingway's book on that is just absolutely brilliant.
00:56:18.000Her book Rigged, and how Zuckerberg spent his way into flipping the election in key states for the Democrats.
00:56:26.000They're not going to give up that power pretty easily.
00:56:28.000So I'm not surprised that the FEC is going after this, or the SEC is going after it.
00:56:34.000Because they don't want to lose their power.
00:56:35.000And the Biden administration, I mean, they use government authoritatively whenever they get the chance.
00:56:41.000I mean, that's the lesson they learned from Obama also.
00:56:43.000Heck, today also, Merrick Garland announced he's suing the state of Texas again because they're redistricting, because they don't want the districts drawn that way, because they don't want it drawn that way, because they want to turn Texas blue.
00:57:04.000Republicans and Democrats, they're both establishment.
00:57:06.000The reason the Republicans haven't been doing anything for years is because they're just stopping the populist movement and the working class from actually getting anything done.
00:57:14.000And the Democrats, because they have a bunch of ignorant young people just marching blindly behind them, they're able to, you know, crack the whip and get away with it because of the tribal nature of what they're doing.
00:57:25.000But I mean, this should be alarm bells to anybody.
00:57:28.000Trump starts a media company and all of a sudden the SEC is investigating?
00:57:34.000We saw what happened with Obama and the Tea Party and the IRS using the power of the government to harass and coerce and go after anyone who opposes you.
00:57:43.000Yep, this is just them vying for power.
00:57:45.000And when they have power, they of course conceal it for themselves, use it for their own personal benefit.
00:57:49.000And when you see it from that perspective, these larger kind of spats and fights kind of do make sense because it's, you know, the left wing versus the right wing.
00:57:56.000So we have seen that this abused so much.
00:58:01.000And I remember even doing a news story about 10 years ago, talking about how social media could decide elections.
00:58:07.000There was numerous studies being done.
00:58:09.000That came to the conclusion saying, if you just tweak the algorithm a little bit, if you just tweak what people see and don't see, you could literally change the future of this country.
00:58:18.000This was something that we were talking about 10 years ago.
00:58:20.000I think this has become something that's not just a possibility, I think it's a reality.
00:58:25.000And I think we need to acknowledge what you mentioned is that big tech social media does
00:58:29.000affect elections, does affect who gets voted in, and of course they have a clear side with
00:58:34.000anyone who of course does their bidding, who of course anyone who works for them and is
00:58:38.000willing to help them out at the end of the day.
00:58:40.000And they have a pure financial interest, right?
00:58:43.000I mean look at some of the players in this, not social media but it's media.
00:58:47.000Michael Bloomberg, one of the top ten richest people in the nation.
00:58:50.000The two guys from Google, Alphabet, top five richest people in the nation.
00:58:58.000Eric Schmidt, who goes to Bilderberg and Burning Man.
00:59:03.000And then he's the man who helped start one of the major super PACs that of course spread the first kind of term of Russian collusion.
00:59:13.000So they're integrated in so many different ways.
00:59:16.000Eric Schmidt said that he supports Hillary Clinton.
00:59:20.000He backed her in so many different ways.
00:59:21.000But there's so many other things happening behind the scenes that aren't even public, that we don't even know about, that truly do highlight the bigger power plays at hand here behind the scenes.
00:59:32.000And obviously right now the power establishment that's in ... charge is the corporate neoliberal fascistic ... establishment that is parading itself as a social justice ... warrior woke ideology when in reality there they are ... technocrats and that's exactly what I would call them.
00:59:47.000Absolutely, and total authoritarians, because they also support Black Lives Matter, if you ask them.
00:59:51.000We're all behind the Russia collusion, they probably all support vaccine mandates, and they're all worth $65 billion.
00:59:57.000They only support Black Lives Matter when it supports their Divide and Conquer agenda, when at the same time they pass initiatives that largely discriminate against them, just like these larger vaccine mandates predominantly discriminate against black people.
01:00:10.000And now, not only their opportunity to go to places inside, but now their opportunity to even find a job.
01:00:16.000Where in New York City, predominantly, the majority of people who haven't taken the vaccine are Black.
01:00:32.000You support your agenda and they use the power of the government to crush their opposition.
01:00:37.000Exactly. But we got something interesting here. Devin Nunes is retiring. So he's going to be
01:00:41.000joining the Trump media firm. And I can't say I'm surprised that the feds are going after
01:00:46.000Trump's media firm, but he wrote a letter. He basically said, Nunes said in a letter
01:00:51.000to his constituents that he'll be leaving at the end of 2021 prior to the 2022 midterms.
01:00:56.000Recently, I was presented with an opportunity to fight for the most important issues I believe in.
01:01:00.000I'm writing to let you know I've decided to pursue this opportunity, and therefore I will be leaving the House of Representatives at the end of 2021.
01:01:05.000Rest assured, I have not by any means given up our collective fight.
01:01:09.000I'll just be pursuing it through other means.
01:01:14.000The Trump and Media Technology Group released a statement saying Nunes would be the company's chief executive officer.
01:01:19.000I would love to see, uh, to have Devin on the show to discuss this, Mr. Nunes, Congressman, and talk about what's going on with this because I certainly believe Devin Nunes is a fighter.
01:01:29.000So I've been concerned about what's been happening with, like, the acquisition of locals and stuff.
01:01:34.000Seeing this, I do think there's another risk of big tech.
01:01:38.000Just because they say they're going to protect us and protect our rights and allow free speech doesn't mean that in five years' time they actually will.
01:01:45.000It'll be other people with other interests and other agenda in power and the ability to censor you, so I'm all about decentralizing this stuff and then hooking it in the machine.
01:01:53.000What these people have been doing, have been building a centralized system just to give themselves power.
01:01:57.000So it's one thing to be like, I believe everyone should have access to communication.
01:02:02.000And that's another thing to see two warring factions arguing over who, which, which one of them gets to have control over the means of communication.
01:03:39.000And I think a stagnant government that keeps fighting itself and doesn't accomplish anything and doesn't pass new rules and laws is the best government.
01:03:47.000An inactive government is the best government people could ask for because it doesn't get involved in anyone's business.
01:03:55.000A government that begins repealing laws and adding sunset clauses to existing laws is the kind of government we need.
01:04:02.000If the Republicans had a backbone and actually did some of that, I would agree with you, but they don't.
01:04:07.000They usually comply and they just want to add new bureaucracies, new jurisdictions, and new regulations that gives them power and gives them authority.
01:04:15.000I wish there was a political system or a political party that represented repealing a lot of the bureaucracy, repealing a lot of the dumb regulations that hurt small businesses, that prevent people from competing with Amazon and Walmart and Costco and whoever it may be.
01:04:50.000Please, because there's so much bullcrap that the average American has to deal with every single day when it comes to
01:04:56.000a mafioso, middle-man, government thug interfering in their livelihoods.
01:05:02.000It's impossible to make ends meet for a lot of people.
01:05:04.000I wish the founding fathers added an additional amendment that the Constitution can be amended in these ways.
01:05:12.000However, statutory laws passed by Congress will all have a natural sunset period.
01:05:17.000And the reason for that is, and they could have done, like, a natural sunset of 20 years or something to recognize rules change by generation.
01:05:24.000And new generations coming in will need to assess the rules of the previous generation to determine if they're still, you know, applicable to what our society is like today.
01:05:33.000And I think then you have the Constitution, which is mostly immutable.
01:05:37.000It's very difficult to change, but can be amended if everyone comes together and mostly agrees.
01:05:42.000And then when it comes to statutory law, these things got to get reviewed.
01:05:45.000Because right now, if they put up, I would say this, in about 10 years, I'm willing to
01:05:49.000bet gun control is going to be in the gutter.
01:06:08.000That being said, they can go in and then be like, hey, we're all going to vote to throw this NFA thing in the gutter.
01:06:13.000So that's, in my opinion, a good thing.
01:06:15.000But I think with sunset clauses, it makes it happen a little bit faster, whereas you might need a certain amount of votes to get past a filibuster or get it through a veto.
01:06:25.000With the sunset, if they don't vote to uphold it, it's just gone.
01:06:29.000Whereas right now, if they say, you know, we're gonna pass the repealing the NFA Act,
01:06:32.000and then Biden's just like vetoed, get out of here.
01:06:35.000And then they're like, we can't get the two thirds majority to, you know, to get the, to override the veto,
01:07:54.000And I was surprised that he actually gave an interview because if you're under any investigation, the last thing you want to do is have more words that can and will be used against you.
01:08:03.000That's why you have the right to remain silent.
01:08:06.000So I don't understand why he did this interview.
01:08:09.000I also found it funny that he chose Stephanopoulos because Steffi probably thinks he is getting these big hits and he's got to have some cool feature, but really it's because they know he's just an easy interview.
01:08:22.000If you are in trouble and you're on the left, go to Steffi Stephanopoulos and you will get a cakewalk.
01:08:27.000But even with the cakewalk, I mean imagine if he went to a real journalist.
01:08:30.000Imagine if he sat down with someone who actually asked him hard questions.
01:08:35.000So he went to George Stephanopoulos for a cakewalk, and even in that cakewalk he said a lot of stuff, like the fact that he did or did not pull the trigger even.
01:08:43.000Well, a lot of people are saying that this is rude to the family that's still in mourning, that he's making this kind of big media spectacle around this.
01:08:51.000And it's also, you know, looking from the outside, it's also kind of psychotic to try to proclaim yourself as a victim here, which he was, in my kind of understanding of it, was trying to make himself out to be making him the center of attention around this, when in reality, you know, this was a very emotional issue that I don't think helps anyone in this situation.
01:09:45.000When you're handed a weapon, if I were to open the chamber or take the clip out, I know he said clip, he meant magazine, he's like, they would immediately take it away from me because it's been checked by someone else.
01:09:56.000You know, he probably thought that was a really good argument.
01:09:59.000He probably was thinking about doing the interview, talked to some people, and they were like, oh, tell them you can't check the gun because then they would take it away from you.
01:10:07.000The idea being, if they saw, if the armorer was checking the weapon, taking it apart, putting it back together, checking the rounds, hands it to Alec Baldwin, and then he opens it up and does something to it, the armorer is now like, yo, I just checked this, what did you do?
01:10:23.000Give that back to me, I'm checking it again.
01:10:25.000But that's a really dumb thing to say.
01:10:39.000Then why was it that when you were handed the weapon by the AD, who is not the prop person or the armorer, you did not find that suspect enough to call for the prop guy Hmm.
01:10:50.000say please check the weapon, someone had manipulated it. If your argument is you can't check it because
01:10:55.000they would take it from you to check, why didn't you call for that when it was handled by someone
01:11:00.000who wasn't the armorer? That, in my opinion, is incriminating.
01:11:04.000Additionally, he claimed when he was on the street and the people, the paparazzi were
01:11:08.000filming him, he was like, she was my friend.
01:11:23.000Why was Alec Baldwin having dinner with someone who wasn't his friend he had just met?
01:11:27.000Now it could be that they're working on set and they said, let's go grab dinner and talk about the movie, but at the same time we know that there was labor concerns, the crew was complaining about safety conditions and pay, and people were walking off.
01:11:39.000Then we find out Baldwin's having a dinner with a woman he doesn't know, and he describes her in the interview as intense, not interested in small talk, just getting down to business.
01:11:52.000You would have to believe that Alec Baldwin was handed this gun, popped open the, so these are single action revolvers, there's a little latch on the right side, you pop it open and then you can see, and you put the bullet in, spin, the cylinder doesn't come out like you see in like the video games where they flip it out, the single action, so we'd have to open the latch, one by one, load it, while spinning the cylinder, and if he wanted to put a bullet in it, he'd have to put one in and then close it.
01:12:16.000Very easy to do with, in my opinion, I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume that Alec Baldwin, with one hand, was holding a round, reached over because he had the gun on his side, and then popped it open, pushed the bullet in, pulled it out, and then shot her.
01:12:29.000But I also think it's even—it's still more absurd to assume that the gun had to be accidentally loaded with live rounds to be given to a guy who's not supposed to handle it, to be handed to Alec Baldwin, who's not supposed to use it in this set, to then—Alec Baldwin claimed that Helena Hutchins told him to point the gun at her and
01:13:14.000That he was saying, she kept saying, you know, draw the gun, he pushed from the side.
01:13:17.000Like Quentin Tarantino-esque type angle, where you're literally looking right at the camera.
01:13:21.000Or at a slight angle, and so the camera's here, and she's just to the right of it, and the gun is going slightly off.
01:13:26.000But, I'm sorry, if his argument is, she was telling me over and over again to draw the gun and point it at me, and then he says, she told me to pull the hammer back, and then I let go, and it just fired, I didn't pull the trigger.
01:13:39.000That's not possible on a single action revolver, unless he was holding the trigger depressed while pulling it back, which also seems like a strange thing to do.
01:13:48.000So, all of these weird... I said this last month.
01:13:52.000I was like, all of these coincidences had to have occurred for Alec Baldwin to have accidentally shot this woman.
01:14:04.000It doesn't go forward until you pull that trigger.
01:14:07.000So someone accidentally puts a bullet in it, gives it to the wrong guy, Alec Baldwin knows that's not supposed to be the guy who has it, and he's supposed to get the armorer to come check it because it was manipulated by somebody else, and then Helena Hodgins is like, yes, draw the weapon and aim it at me.
01:15:11.000And as we know, Alec Baldwin has been working with PR emergency companies that have been implementing a lot of the kind of fake news, have been implementing a lot of the kind of noise around this matter, allegedly according to a lot of sources surrounded in this case.
01:15:28.000So, it wouldn't be surprising to me if a crisis manager came to Alec Baldwin and said, okay, we're going to sit you down.
01:15:35.000We're going to get rid of all this public pressure.
01:15:37.000We're going to make sure you get back into acting very soon.
01:16:24.000She did work, as we have it here on our Wikipedia page, she has a degree in international journalism and worked on documentary films as an investigative journalist in Eastern Europe.
01:16:32.000So all of a sudden, you know, she now finds herself working as a cinematographer for the past few years.
01:16:42.000But if people start pushing these crazy theories about the secret undercover investigation she was REALLY pursuing, then all of a sudden you lose interest.
01:16:51.000CNN comes out and says it's a crackpot conspiracy, it was all an accident, and like that actor guy said, there's a propaganda machine trying to make us feel sorry for Alec Baldwin when he killed this woman.
01:17:00.000Yeah, and I think you raise a great point that if you're Alec Baldwin's agent and his PR staff, the question is, how do we get you back to acting as fast as possible?
01:17:08.000And you look at the history of some Hollywood unsavory actors.
01:17:11.000I mean, heck, Roman Polanski gets standing ovations at the Oscars.
01:17:15.000I mean, because his PR machine was so good.
01:17:18.000Now, granted, he's extradited in France, and he can't come back, and he won't come back because he knows he'll get arrested.
01:17:25.000But Hollywood actors and actresses will still applaud Roman Polanski.
01:17:28.000And yes, he raped a 15-year-old girl, but he's a brilliant director.
01:17:33.000And I'm sure if you're Alec Baldwin's people, you're like, what's that compared to Roman Polanski or Harvey Weinstein or so many other people in Hollywood who have these histories.
01:17:41.000Wasn't there a famous actress that made a speech about him saying, we need him back.
01:18:09.000I just think Alec Baldwin, if you know, look, I don't see how an accident, it's like Final Destination, you know that movie?
01:18:22.000The series of movies where the people die in really weird ways, like a truck is driving down the street, and then some guy spills his coffee, so he throws it out the window, and then it bounces, and then it hits a sign, which causes the sign to spin around, and then point in the wrong direction, and then the truck turns left, but then slips on ice and flips over, and then the logs fly off the truck, bounce through the air, hit a car, which makes the car fly off a bridge, and then hit a guy.
01:18:44.000Like, that's what it sounds like to me when they explain the scenario that happened according to Alec Baldwin.
01:18:50.000Or there's the really simple, like, more real-life angry crew members.
01:18:54.000Alec Baldwin was frustrated, tired, angry, has a temper, and he said, screw this.
01:18:59.000Was he not supposed to have a gun in that scene?
01:19:02.000The official story from the script supervisor and the electrician was that he was supposed to have a gun, but he wasn't supposed to draw it or aim it, and it wasn't supposed to be handed to him by this assistant director.
01:19:15.000So if he wasn't supposed to draw it or aim it, why would Helena Hutchins tell him to draw it and point it at her?
01:19:20.000Well, she's dead and she can't tell us exactly why that was happening.
01:19:24.000The weird thing is, and I'm sure everyone's afraid to go public because this is an ongoing investigation, with the exception of, I've worked on a lot of Hollywood scenes.
01:19:34.000It was one of my earlier little things a long, long time ago.
01:19:37.000There are no scenes that there are just three or four people.
01:19:40.000Porn shoots have staffs of 15 people, right?
01:19:45.000The fact that none of them have come out publicly and said what happened, they're probably all afraid, they probably all have This is definitely recorded on film.
01:19:53.000There's a lot of people who witnessed this.
01:19:56.000They're waiting for the investigation to go forward.
01:19:59.000And I will say one last thing, if you don't mind.
01:20:02.000I've worked on movies with Oscar-winning actors and Oscar-winning cinematographers.
01:20:08.000Oscar-winning actors don't have dinner with cinematographers.
01:20:51.000We're not, you know, we can only speculate from here.
01:20:54.000You know, the whole where Alec was saying, if I had taken the gun apart to check, they would have taken it away from me thing is such a pansy-like... That's what he would have done to someone as the producer.
01:21:04.000If he saw someone checking, inspecting their weapon, he would have taken it out of their hands and fired the guy.
01:21:21.000If Alec Baldwin is like, I didn't check because they told me I wasn't supposed to, it's like, well you realize that's still involuntary manslaughter, right?
01:21:31.000He probably thought in his mind, this one makes a lot of sense.
01:21:33.000And then all it does is incriminate him.
01:21:35.000Oh, so you're saying you knew the guy who was manipulating it wasn't supposed to hand it to you and you fired it anyway.
01:21:39.000You knew that if someone manipulates the gun other than the prop guy, it must be handed back to the prop guy, and you still took it, aimed it at her, pulled the hammer back, and fired it.
01:21:48.000But in his mind, the story was so good, just like our friend Jesse Smollett and his mind and story was so good.
01:22:36.000Experts were saying the only defense he has is for him to testify, and it's... You gotta hear this, if you've not been following this.
01:22:45.000Grab the popcorn, you are gonna laugh.
01:22:48.000So first, this guy claims The defense that the Osandairo brothers that he hired, according to the prosecutors, to stage this hoax are sophisticated criminals who framed him.
01:23:00.000They planned the whole thing, even though he paid them for workout training and then told the cops they were white.
01:23:06.000They planned the whole thing to frame him.
01:23:08.000Because they're homophobic and they hate him.
01:23:10.000Then you get the, uh, what happens is during, during testimony, The defense tries cross-examining one of the Osindaro brothers, and the judge said that it was, like, collateral or something in the move-on, and so... Just get ready for the suspense.
01:23:26.000The defense attorney calls for a sidebar to speak with the judge.
01:23:31.000Demands a mistrial because they were saying that they're not being properly allowed to cross-examine Then claims the judge lunged at her Demands a mistrial over that the judge says that's BS that never happened and you're not getting a mistrial and Then the defense started crying and left the courtroom with her mother I am NOT making that up!
01:25:00.000We got Breitbart and we got the New York Post.
01:25:02.000On Thursday, Smollett's attorney Tamara Walker requested a mistrial over her claims.
01:25:06.000Cook County Judge James Lynn physically lunged at her, CBS News reports.
01:25:11.000Reports say the encounter happened during a sidebar conversation with attorneys from both sides.
01:25:16.000The judge denied the accusations and also denied the motion for mistrial.
01:25:19.000Walker reportedly appeared to be close to tears while debating with the judge and left the courtroom with her mother while the rest of Smollett's team continued to ask for a measure.
01:25:42.000You know what happened was she went up and was like saying something to the judge and getting his face and he went, you're like, he leaned at her and went, I am the law here and got real serious.
01:25:51.000And then she considered that like an attack, but he's like establishing order.
01:25:57.000That's probably exactly what happened.
01:26:05.000Like it's her first trial and Jesse's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna give her a chance, you know on my life to like leave the defense.
01:26:12.000Yeah, the New York Post reports the same thing.
01:26:14.000She was near tears and she left the court with her mother who was in the gallery as the rest of Smuts team continued to ask for a mistrial.
01:26:20.000Did Jussie Smollett hire Elwood from Legally Blonde?
01:27:01.000They said, former Empire actor Jesse Smollett took the stand in the ongoing criminal trial
01:27:05.000Monday in a high-stakes attempt to rebut charges that he staged a fake hate crime.
01:27:09.000They say, under oath Monday, Smollett offered testimony over more than two hours that suggested
01:27:13.000the brothers, whom he knew from the Empire set, may have had other motivations.
01:27:17.000He said Bola Osundaira, who he called Ban, helped get him drugs, including cocaine.
01:27:23.000He also said they had a sexual relationship between them at a particular Chicago bathhouse.
01:27:28.000One night while the two were out and Smollett testified they got a private room and did drugs and like made out.
01:27:34.000On a separate occasion Smollett told jurors he and Bola snuck away from from his brother after the three were at a female strip club together.
01:27:41.000Smollett testified again they got a private room and made out a little bit and family-friendly show you know had fun together.
01:27:47.000Let's just I don't- I don't- I don't- I don't know how this is relevant!
01:27:51.000Imagine you're the jury and you're like- They Jeffrey Tubin'd together.
01:27:53.000What- What- What- If you're the jury, if you're the jury and he's just saying all this stuff, you're like, yo, I don't know what this has to do with anything.
01:28:02.000So they say, He kind of creeped me out.
01:28:05.000Every time we were around him, he didn't speak to me.
01:28:07.000Every time we needed to leave, he made it seem like we needed to sneak off.
01:28:10.000After a hate letter was sent to him, Smollett said Bola Osundaro approached him about becoming his personal security guard, something the actor told the jury Osundaro had repeatedly asked him.
01:28:20.000Following the letter, Bola Osundaro began asking him more about the need for security, Smollett said.
01:28:24.000The actor described being annoyed at the idea of always having a security detail around him.
01:28:28.000Around lunchtime, I would smoke my blunt and drive around the neighborhood of the studios.
01:28:43.000So it sounds like Jussie Smollett's argument is, this guy staged the attack because he was trying to convince him to hire him as a security guard.
01:29:03.000Yeah, so if they did this to convince you that you needed security, you called the cops but you didn't immediately point to them that these are the guys who did it?
01:29:12.000And you were still wearing the noose and you still had your soda and your Subway sandwich?
01:29:29.000Yeah, well on tomorrow's show if he is found guilty and you have this breaking news for the show, I tweeted a couple days ago that I think his punishment should be very simple.
01:29:38.000He should have to go to the next MAGA rally and he should have to look at the president, Trump, and he should have to apologize.
01:30:21.000He owes us an apology and we should get a sincere one.
01:30:23.000And a sincere one for me is being in front of tens of thousands of us.
01:30:28.000Don't write us a little letter or do a YouTube video.
01:30:30.000You have to stand there and face us and listen to us either heckle you or knowing Trump people, they'll probably give him a little applause and say, get him off the stage.
01:30:39.000I just feel like I'm kind of done trying to convince people who are in the cult.
01:30:43.000The people who believed this story, the people who believed the Covington lies, the people who believe Russiagate, Ukrainegate, all that garbage, who fell for the lie after lie after lie, and each and every one of those stories has been definitively debunked.
01:31:28.000Because, well, you had Big Bang Theory with the, you know, they did the group photo and everyone coming out and being like, I can't believe this happened and blaming Trump supporters and it was just very obviously not true.
01:31:38.000Yeah, and it's a frustrating thing because it also does an awful lot of damage to people who are attacked.
01:31:44.000I don't believe in hate crimes, I don't believe in hate speech, but we use that term, but it does do a lot of damage to people who Are victims of crime.
01:31:54.000You know, and also how many police resources were diverted, right?
01:31:57.000It's the same thing of like the Bubba Watson incident.
01:32:00.000How many FBI agents does it take to go investigate a NASCAR, right?
01:32:04.000If these resources are so limited and so expensive, how many people... Chicago this year just hit its 8th, and it's your home city.
01:32:12.000I like to talk about New York as well.
01:32:13.000Chicago just hit its 800th homicide this year.
01:32:17.000How many detectives could have been diverted to the streets to whatever, but we're doing the Jesse Smollett investigation, right?
01:32:24.000So those are the people who deserve the true apology.
01:32:27.000You stole resources from a very, very tortured city.
01:32:31.000It's true, it's true, but I also gotta say, like, Chicago's got very serious problems with police corruption, and they've always had.
01:32:37.000It's been a mob town as long as I've known it, and if you look at history, it's always been a mob town.
01:32:41.000And I'm kind of like torn between, yeah, maybe there could be some cops stopping, you know, some of these gun crimes and homicides and stuff.
01:32:48.000But then I remember when Chicago operated black sites where they arrested people without charge and held them there for 10 days without notifying anybody.
01:32:55.000Or when that one guy was electrocuting people to force confessions.
01:32:58.000So at that point, I'm kind of like, I don't know, whatever.
01:34:06.000I like the idea of, you know, the good local cop who's like, look, I just want to make sure people aren't getting hurt, and I've met some of these guys.
01:34:13.000But you look at some of these big cities like New York, Chicago, and L.A., and they are crooked.
01:36:05.000You put sweet peppers on top and then you take the whole sandwich and just dunk it in the whole beef thing with gravy and eat it and the bread's all soggy.
01:40:55.000If Walmart tries to do it, I'm like, nah, you're too big.
01:40:58.000But if you're a small business, old dude, and you've got like three employees, I'm like, maybe then we just say, let the old man do his thing.
01:42:23.000Harambee's Irish says you can tell it's mostly liberals and libertarians in here all scared of the government like they are God lol I I don't think that's the case liberals Libertarian me Like like us in here.
01:42:38.000I mean we're mad at that like government overreach, but I actually think I respect the power of the government. I think there's
01:42:46.000certain good things from government, certain bad things, but I think it's mostly been bad for a
01:42:49.000while. Yeah. I think the founding fathers had a lot of good ideas. Oh, here we go. Here's
01:42:52.000something interesting. Monkey Boy King says, is Tim going to take Dan Bongino up on his offer to
01:42:57.000let him explain what's going on with Rumble on Tim's show? Dan Bongino is welcome to come on my
01:43:00.000show anytime he wants. Ooh, what's up, Dan? Are you kidding? Yes. Yeah, Dan did an announcement
01:43:05.000about the Rumble sale, but it was like no details. Hmm.
01:43:09.000Like he was just saying, this is big, this is great, you know, we worked on this, awesome.
01:43:13.000And my attitude was very much just like, okay, well, you know, I don't see anything here other than we're becoming exactly what the problem was in the first place.
01:43:20.000But again, competition is always good.
01:43:22.000So like I said, net positive, a competing powerful force, like an alternative place, it's gonna force YouTube to be like, okay, okay, we're not gonna censor everybody, otherwise we're gonna lose them to competition.
01:44:07.000Yes, we actually did have that lined up.
01:44:10.000Maybe we'll do a members-only thing about that, because we didn't get to it.
01:44:13.000But there's a lot of news today, and I think I'm going to do a bigger thing on this tomorrow.
01:44:17.000I had it in the mix, but then New York announced their VAX mandate, and I'm just like, You know, it's here at home versus foreign policy stuff.
01:44:25.000So I'm like, we got to talk about what's going on with New York.
01:47:10.000And if that means the end of the world, so be it.
01:47:13.000It's true for some people on the right, but it's mostly true for many on the left.
01:47:16.000It's the rule on the establishment left, and the left in general, and it's the exception on the right for the most part.
01:47:23.000And that's likely because the right right now has a sort of tacit alliance with independents and moderates.
01:47:29.000And the more moderate individuals, be it right-leaning conservative types and independent types, really want to understand and solve the problems.
01:47:36.000But you absolutely do have the right zealous Trump must win no matter what and screw you and what you have to say.
01:47:43.000However, they're a small group without institutional authority, so they're allowed to have their opinions, same as the left.
01:47:48.000The problem is when the establishment left, aren't unwilling to have a conversation and hold the reins of power, Yo, we got a big problem.
01:47:55.000If you're in a conversation via text in that Discord chat, don't put too much weight on that.
01:47:59.000It's hard to get any good communication done via text.
01:48:02.000But if it was with words, try listening more.
01:48:06.000If you can understand your opponent, they tend to like you a lot more.
01:48:10.000And ask more questions rather than making declarative statements.
01:48:14.000And if they disagree with you, call them racist.
01:48:19.000Matthew Conley says, for your pop culture show, if you need some retro gaming hardware, I'm a collector that has 2.4K games across over 20 consoles.
01:49:29.000Spartan Bacon says, Tim, with a single-action revolver, he could not have been able to put a bullet in and then fire without spinning the cylinder all the way around.
01:49:39.000Yeah, but I still think it makes more sense than this wild scenario of crazy coincidences that culminate with Helena Hutchins being like, point the gun at me and pull the hammer back, and him going, you got it!
01:49:57.000No, I think the angry crew member was like, I'm gonna get back at that production company.
01:50:02.000Put a bullet in before they walked off set.
01:50:03.000But then, like they said, you have to rotate the cylinder around, or pull the trigger, you have to fan the hammer, pull the trigger, fan the hammer, or rotate the cylinder to get the bullet to go all the way around.
01:50:12.000So someone loaded it, and rotated it, and then put it on the table.
01:50:51.000The alternative that an angry crew member put a bullet in the gun, got it set up, and then through.
01:50:55.000And then Helena Hutchins was like, I know you're not supposed to use the gun right now, but why don't you point it at me and ban the hammer?
01:51:52.000And then, Helena Hutchins, who was shot and killed, told Alec Baldwin, you're not supposed to have the gun out in this scene, but I want to film you pulling it out anyway.
01:52:00.000Also, pull the hammer back right now and point it at me.
01:52:59.000Alec Baldwin was holding a gun that did not come from the armorer to be used as a prop, and then he pointed at a woman, pulled the hammer back, and she was shot.
01:53:05.000It's like giving a girl you don't know at a bar a drink and saying, like, here you go, the girl's gonna say, I'm gonna throw this on the ground, because I don't know where it came from.
01:53:23.000I'm still not gonna walk out on the street with a blindfold on.
01:53:25.000I'm gonna take the blindfold off and look both ways for myself.
01:53:28.000Let's just talk very simple fact right now.
01:53:31.000Alec Baldwin had a gun that did not come from the on-set armorer.
01:53:36.000He then pointed it at a woman in a scene that did not call for him to point it at someone or use it, pulled the hammer back, and the gun was fired.
01:53:46.000I didn't say he pulled the trigger or fired the gun.
01:53:55.000I don't know how the bolt got in there, but he had a gun that didn't come from the armorer, he pulled it out when he wasn't supposed to, pulled the hammer back and pointed it at a woman, it fired, and she was killed.
01:54:04.000Why would anyone make any assumption other than Alec Baldwin pulled out a gun that he did not get from the armorer, and he killed a woman with it?
01:54:12.000The immediate assumption should be, why did he kill the woman?
01:54:15.000Not, what strange Final Destination type circumstances can we build up to make it seem like it was all one big silly
01:55:14.000So if she told him to point the gun, he's gonna be standing there listening.
01:55:17.000I think it's just... Look, I think it's crazy to believe that Alec Baldwin killed the lady, but it's crazier to make up all this stuff to justify why he didn't.
01:55:24.000And it's also crazy that his wife pretended she was from Spain for years.
01:55:31.000Think about how desperate people are to claim Alec Baldwin did not intentionally kill this woman.
01:55:36.000She pretended she didn't know the word for cucumber in English.
01:55:40.000At the cooking show, in the Today Show, she was making gazpacho from her homeland and she's like, and now I add the, uh, how you say in English?
01:57:35.000I remember Ross Perot, and I didn't know what it meant, but the school asked us to type on a computer who we'd vote for, and I guess they were trying to figure out what our parents were saying about it, so I was like, Ross Perot.
01:58:00.000I think in 2000, that's what happened.
01:58:02.000Like my mom went Democrat, my dad went Republican.
01:58:03.000A lot of what he said has come to fruition.
01:58:05.000Ross Perot is a lot like Ron Paul back in the day.
01:58:08.000I mean, when he talked about NAFTA and this giant sucking sound of jobs leaving North America to go to other places and we're going to have a... He talked about how middle America will be decimated.
01:58:21.000Sorry wolf freak says hey tim that station.
01:58:23.000I was denied service at was in fort collins, colorado Wow All right ninja crazy ninja tanuki says if alex finger was on the trigger when he pulled the hammer back and it was original Are a original fixed firing pin model story is plausible still no excuse.
01:59:03.000Well, it is a very light press, a single action.
01:59:06.000A very light press, and then he pulled it back, and... Possible, but that would mean he's violating all standard safety protocols on top of the protocols he's already violated.
01:59:30.000He wasn't doing his job, he wasn't taking safety seriously, and he admitted to George Stephanopoulos he knew that if someone else other than the prop guy was manipulating the gun, they'd have to give it back to the prop guy.
01:59:39.000So he gets handed a gun from some random person and goes, haha, click, bang, oops!
01:59:43.000Involuntary manslaughter at the very least.
01:59:50.000Yeah, that's one of the things about COVID that's been driving me nuts is the amount of people coming across the border that aren't getting tested and then getting sent in.
02:00:05.000And I'm not like a bullish on COVID, but I'm just like that glaring hypocrisy is insane.
02:00:17.000I mean, that is like, if you would talk about a pandemic and national security, letting people into your country during a pandemic and just letting them fly.
02:00:25.000And then shipping them strategically all throughout the country, right?
02:00:29.000I mean, because they can't leave them all in Texas.
02:00:31.000And so they'll fly by night, drop 500 in Dulles, they'll drop a couple hundred in Miami.
02:00:36.000So yeah, this is such a serious pandemic that we're just going to spread it.
02:00:40.000We got one here, and I think this is a good one for Luke.
02:00:43.000End of Time says, I'm wanting to get into journalism.
02:00:45.000Would you by chance have any references on educational material which would help me with the craft?
02:00:49.000I feel like more honest people need to start getting involved.
02:00:52.000Yeah, I have Change Media University, which is now free for LukeUncensored.com members.
02:00:59.000It goes through all the basic kind of lessons and it goes through how to start your career, how to do things.
02:01:09.000It's becoming more and more difficult because of big tech's online censorship.
02:01:13.000So it's very difficult for anyone to make a name for themselves, especially with the algorithms being rigged against you.
02:01:19.000So my word of advice is if you really do have a passion for it, go after it, but also have a side hustle or a side job that will help you pay for bills and facilitate that kind of lifestyle of you doing what you really love to do.
02:01:34.000Because when you're in this business right now, you really have to love it.
02:01:37.000And if you love it enough, you can make anything possible and you can make it happen.
02:01:41.000And if you're committed enough, if you truly believe in yourself enough, you can make that a reality for yourself very easily.
02:01:49.000We just gotta work hard, and it takes work and sacrifice, and it's not easy, and you gotta figure it out and build it up, but you can succeed.
02:01:56.000So, with that being said, my friends, go to TimCast.com and support our work so we can continue to do this journalism.

02:02:13.000Those are going to be kicking up into full speed at the beginning of the year, when we can officially start bringing in, you know, donors and actually funding this stuff.
02:02:20.000And it's a nonprofit, open source, so there's no ownership, there's no giving anything away, there's no banning people.
02:02:26.000We are gonna do our best to make sure we empower people to know the truth and share information they see fit.

02:03:44.000In contrast, Ian, I was going to say before we go that if you guys really, really want awesome hot dogs, you need to go to Iceland because they're in every single gas station.
02:03:52.000You can get them with like 50 million.
02:03:54.000They take their hot dogs very seriously.
02:04:10.000And I went in there and it was like just me and a friend and like literally no one else and two guys We order food.
02:04:14.000We're eating burgers and two guys walk in and then the one guy was like, hey, you're Tim Poole And I was like, oh, yeah, man.
02:04:21.000He's like, oh wow I think he was saying he was from like the u.s And he was there visiting and just it was like the weirdest thing to be in the middle of nowhere It's like volcanic rock everywhere and there's a burger joint.
02:04:32.000It's a crazy story It is very much like being on another planet.
