Tim and Elijah are back in the studio with special guest Elijah Schaffer to talk about the return of Antifa, the end of the petrodollar, and much more. Plus, a story about a group of Ukranian soldiers who are volunteering for the Foreign Legion and getting all of these soldiers killed.
00:00:24.000If you thought gas was expensive now, well, you're in for a surprise, man.
00:00:27.000It's gonna get a whole lot worse, considering Russia is a major exporter of fossil fuels, of energy, of gas, of oil.
00:00:34.000We also have to contend with a major food crisis which is coming, and I hope you've been paying attention to this one, because Russia also exports massive amounts of fertilizer, which we are now not getting, and planting season is coming up, harvest will be in fall, food stores last about three months, so we'll see how this plays out.
00:00:50.000Hopefully, it is not the apocalypse, but things may be getting crazy.
00:00:53.000The New York Times is writing about smaller nuclear weapons, which could make a nuclear war without ICBMs blowing up a whole bunch of cities, which is basically what I've been talking about for some time.
00:01:03.000We've also got a story about Redditors posting their location in Ukraine, volunteering for the Foreign Legion and getting all of these soldiers killed.
00:02:36.000I think most people know who you are, to be honest, but what's your, what do you do for a living?
00:02:39.000Well, to all the haters who wanted me to get arrested for being inside the Capitol building, guess who just got their press license renewed from the Capitol building today?
00:02:48.000So it looks like things are still good there.
00:02:50.000I'm a journalist, reporter, and I also run a podcast called Slightly Offensive, and also a podcast called You Are Here that's live every night.
00:02:56.000It's been a ton of fun and a ton of craziness, but guess what?
00:02:59.000I'm out of retirement because things are crazy again.

00:07:32.000Ladies and gentlemen, Putin demands unfriendly countries use rubles to buy Russian oil and gas.
00:07:38.000Russia was hit with crippling economic sanctions after it launched a massive
00:07:43.000military campaign against Ukraine a month ago.
00:07:45.000But efforts to isolate Russia economically are complicated by the fact that the European Union is dependent on Moscow for oil and natural gas that is used to heat homes during the winter.
00:07:54.000With the financial noose tightening and the European Union split on whether to sanction Russia's energy sector, Putin hit back with a clear message.
00:08:01.000If you want your gas, buy our currency.
00:08:03.000Russia will continue, of course, to supply natural gas in accordance with volumes and prices fixed in previously concluded contracts, Putin said in a televised meeting with top government ministers.
00:08:13.000Imagine being NATO and the EU and not seeing this coming.
00:08:27.000Vladimir Putin effectively getting off the petrodollar, requiring Europe to buy oil and gas in rubles.
00:08:35.000It's breaking the one thing the United States actually has control over, or the one thing that we actually get value out of, and it's that we control our own currency, which we make everybody buy to buy oil.
00:08:46.000So this is going to be a global fracturing.
00:08:47.000A global parallel economy is emerging.
00:08:49.000Already we heard that Saudi Arabia was in discussions with China to start buying oil in Yuan.
00:08:54.000Threats of World War 3, chaos, prices going through the roof. How you guys doing?
00:08:58.000I was gonna say, it's part of the plan, definitely. I mean, besides inflation and, like, the supply
00:09:02.000chain breaking up and, you know, there's transgender swimmers beating out women and we're having gay
00:09:07.000pride parades in children's schools, teaching them how to tuck their scrotum to their butthole, and
00:09:15.000Big, big, big sidestep from Vladimir Putin and gas prices.
00:09:18.000Yeah, well, I was going to say, besides all that, obviously the best thing that I've heard all year is that our money might lose all of its value and it might actually be worthless.
00:09:26.000And I know this is on purpose because, I mean, if you think about destabilization of Venezuela, talk about the invasion of Libya, you even talk about a little bit what was going on in Syria.
00:09:34.000And what happened in Iraq, when leaders try to take the oil trade off the US dollar,
00:09:39.000if they try to do anything, right, the global currency or the African currency in Libya,
00:09:43.000I mean, you end up getting sadomized and murdered in your own country.
00:09:50.000I know, you get hung, you get let out.
00:09:52.000And so, I mean, if for the last like 100 years, especially the last few decades, if somebody tried to do this, we basically just wiped them out.
00:09:59.000It makes me wonder if we're going to allow this to happen specifically, not just with the ruble, but also with Saudi Arabia and specifically the Yuan in China.
00:10:07.000Is this part of Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum idea to sort of destabilize one empire and create a trifecta in this movement?
00:10:14.000People give that guy way too much credit.
00:10:16.000Not him, but the World Economic Forum is an agreement among nations to kind of see us, like a lot of bureaucrats specifically like in Washington, obviously don't see America as the greatest country in the world.
00:10:43.000You need to understand, when they're talking about the new world order, they're talking about the end of the liberal world order and the emergence of a new world order.
00:10:59.000After World War II, the deadliest conflict in human history, countries sought to ensure the world would never again devolve into such horrific violence.
00:11:05.000World leaders created a series of international organizations and agreements to promote global cooperation on issues including security, trade, health, and monetary policy.
00:11:12.000The United States has championed this system, known as the Liberal World Order.
00:11:16.000For the past 75 years, during this time, the world has enjoyed unprecedented peace and prosperity.
00:11:21.000You know, I would dispute that last sentence, but I wouldn't dispute everything else they're saying.
00:11:26.000The Council on Foreign Relations overtly says, after World War II, global cooperation from powerful world leaders creating international organizations sought to secure the planet, you know, creating policies on security, trade, health, and monetary policy.
00:11:40.000When Joe Biden says that there is going to be a new world order, This is what the New World Order means.
00:11:48.000Bush, when Clinton, when Hillary Clinton, when they all say this, what they're saying is the liberal world order will come to an end and there will be a new world order.
00:13:37.000Even your water, even though you don't have natural water sources, right in LA.
00:13:41.000And as we've seen it divulge over the years, or develop, and also then decline, is that it didn't end up really working that well because obviously when you have all these cultures together, they ended up self-segregating.
00:13:52.000LA is one of the most segregated regions in the country.
00:14:49.000It literally was a deception, because that's what I'm saying.
00:14:51.000They gave us this form of liberalism, this absolute, kind of their developed form of like, you can have peace in your countries, the wars won't be fought there, you can make a lot of money, things can be really good, your kids can all go to college, and then once we were all in these places, everyone's on anti-anxiety and anti-depressant pills, people are unhappy, they're not satisfied with their lives.
00:15:48.000I mean, if you're talking about the slang terms used by Kids.
00:15:51.000Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, though, is that language is changing in a way where it's like each generation can't even effectively communicate with each other, not just through language, but through the mediums are changing so rapidly.
00:16:00.000Even look at the app development and app usage based off of age range.
00:16:03.000I mean, we are divided and categorized to a point to where it's the perfect time to where we can't even we can't even agree on basic things like on, you know, people are still divided on what happened in 2020.
00:16:13.000People today You can't even agree on the most basic science on what is a man and what is a woman.
00:16:18.000It's a perfect opportune time to retire the current liberalism and then institute whatever the hell you want because we're too divided and too weak and complacent, I believe, to really effectively fight anything.
00:16:29.000I don't think there's anything to fight for.
00:16:30.000We don't even know what we would be fighting to preserve.
00:16:32.000There's a great meme right now where it says, it shows the clip from the World Economic Forum saying, you will own nothing and you will be happy.
00:16:39.000Then it says, you know, journalists say the Great Reset is a conspiracy theory.
00:16:44.000And the next one is the Bloomberg article saying, give up meat for lentils.
00:16:49.000People are like, you'll owe nothing and you'll be happy.
00:16:52.000I wanted to pop in on what you were saying too on the entire manipulation of our language.
00:16:58.000So he and I were actually having a conversation on the way up here and it's kind of insane how we now are saying biological male or biological female.
00:17:05.000Now we're saying actual science as opposed to what the left's version of science is.
00:17:10.000The language has been so manipulated now that, like Elijah said, in the common day we can't even decide on what basic science is anymore.
00:17:20.000I think what happened is you have, like, American society moving up and then at some point the left started budding off like some kind of fungus.
00:17:27.000Like, I mean, I don't mean that as disparaging.
00:17:29.000I mean literally like fungus buds and then, you know, separates.
00:17:33.000So people who are in the middle or on the right, who believe words have meaning and history exists, stayed going down the same path, following history, following the lessons of our ancestors.
00:17:47.000And then this new group of people split off, and they have a different language, they have a different worldview, they believe crazy things.
00:18:11.000I think they're completely illegitimate because they make up random words that are meaningless.
00:18:16.000And you ask a Supreme Court justice to define woman and she says, I can't.
00:18:19.000And I'm like, okay, you're illegitimate and incompetent if you can't define a basic word.
00:18:23.000The same woman who said, I can't define the word woman, literally a minute later said, Roe v. Wade is about a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy.
00:18:30.000And I'm like, what are you talking about?
00:18:32.000You just said you didn't know what a word, you couldn't define the word.
00:18:34.000Tim, it was so baffling to me because, so again, I covered the NCAAs last week and there was pro-LGBTQ protesters there, you know, standing up for Leah Thomas and I'm standing there talking to these college-aged kids and it's such a surreal moment.
00:18:50.000When you have someone look at you in your face and go, yes, a woman can have a penis.
00:19:02.000But actually hearing somebody say that to you, to your face, bold face, completely believing it just shows me how far gone we've become as a country to where there's no basis in reality at all anymore.
00:19:13.000This is why people talk about national divorce.
00:20:01.000There's so many spineless rhinos in our Congress right now, in our just political space as a whole.
00:20:07.000They're so spineless, they're so pathetic, and the reason why conservatism as a whole has completely deteriorated is because people like Matt Schlapp, who's supposed to be the creator of the Conservative Political Action Committee, is coming forward and saying, oh, Leah Thomas' journey, we really need to have empathy about it because, uh, Are you freaking kidding me right now?
00:21:54.000All of the national news articles that were linked to her interview, completely gone now.
00:21:58.000The point of this that I want to bring up is, first of all, Matt Schlapp saying that we need to have empathy on this person's journey, who, by the way, has a clear and present bulge, actually bigger than mine.
00:22:09.000But I will say, you know, that's completely crap.
00:22:11.000And conservatism definitely is in the position to where people are fighting to conserve things that do not exist and have not existed for some time, including this entire country, for at least a hundred years as we've been developing into some crazy globalist empire.
00:22:24.000But with the specific thing with the Swimmers?
00:22:28.000I don't think it's enough to just say like it's their fault because we've gotten in used to everybody in every field in every department institution we already assume they have to be activists because everybody everybody seems to be one journalists are activists professors are activists and now we're saying look there's people who just want to swim they do not want to get involved in political things in fact One of the greatest things I have found and has kept me sane has been lifting weights, getting back in shape.
00:22:53.000And I go on to Twitter and I put like one thing up, like, yeah, hey, you know, I did my 5x5 at 225 on chest.
00:23:22.000What you're asking for, and I'm saying this genuinely, some people, I know people that are into swimming, for instance, and they just do it to clear their mind.
00:23:29.000They do it to get their mind off the world and focus on the goal.
00:23:43.000Listen, when you're focused on breaking generational wealth gaps and you go to a nice school and you're trying to swim and get your family out of that poverty, that idea of getting out of poverty is more important to you than a social issue like transgenders and you don't know what to do.
00:23:58.000So what's happening in our world is no matter who's out there, we are demanding of them to be political activists.
00:24:03.000What should be happening is this discussion should be happening at a senior level with administrators and with individuals who are put in those political positions to try to debate whether something is ethical.
00:24:13.000But the swimmers themselves, I don't blame them for not knowing what to do because like that girl who was scared, these are genuine people who are going, even if I speak out, will it change anything?
00:24:23.000And they don't have, they can't afford what you and me do.
00:24:26.000No, no, no, no, we're stopping right there, bro.
00:24:28.000I am sick and tired of hearing about spineless people who don't stand up for themselves, who think they're entitled to everything.
00:24:33.000That's one of the big issues I have with the left.
00:24:35.000They come out and they say, we should get free college, we should get free that.
00:24:38.000I shouldn't have to do anything for it.
00:24:44.000Now, there was one woman who spoke anonymously, and then you come here and you say, they don't have all of this, bro.
00:24:51.000Not only did I come from the gutter, but I've consistently stood up for my values.
00:24:54.000I've had people on this show who have been censored over and over again, and I know there are hard limitations because there are certain things that make it difficult for either you or I to talk about on our shows, but I quit a corporate gig.
00:25:05.000I tried to break a contract with millions of dollars because they wanted me to do woke BS.
00:25:10.000Now, for me, I'm not saying anybody has to have my back on that.
00:25:54.000They don't want to be political activists.
00:25:56.000The big reason why their parents don't want to speak out for them is because the daughters Ask the parents, hey, you know what, just don't do it.
00:26:02.000I don't want to face the repercussion.
00:26:03.000I don't want the NCAA coming after me.
00:26:05.000The NCAA told these athletes, don't mention Leah Thomas's name in the locker room.
00:26:10.000So the fact that I even got that interview, that's why it went so viral, because the NCAA has been silencing these women.
00:26:15.000I understand what you're saying, Tim, because I'm the exact same way.
00:26:17.000I'm hardline and I say, stand up for your rights, stand up for your country or you will lose everything.
00:26:22.000But at the same time, we do have to remember we're in this spot because not everybody is a political activist, unfortunately.
00:26:26.000That I'm not going to stand up for people who haven't asked for it.
00:26:32.000It is the most insane thing to me that you have people being like, we must defend these young women who are actively, publicly supporting Leah Thomas.
00:26:38.000I'm like, dude, what are you talking about?
00:26:42.000They're publicly supporting Lia Thomas, and you're acting like they're mad when they're not.
00:26:46.000No, no, because that's not even the point.
00:26:48.000I'm saying, we tend to be in politics, and I'm not saying you, but just in general, is reactionary, where we expect that people move on our time.
00:27:12.000The problem is is that the swimmers need to see how big of an issue this is of letting a man compete against women in a way that will always beat them, will out-qualify them, and would fundamentally change the country.
00:27:24.000I'm saying I don't believe all of them see that.
00:27:27.000Because I remember being around non-political people who are like, okay, this is weird, But I'm being told this is right, especially if they don't have any moral absolution, or maybe they're not even that high IQ.
00:27:36.000They might be saying, I don't know what to do.
00:27:38.000So before I'm judging them for not swimming, I'm saying, I think a lot of them are weighing their options.
00:27:45.000And more importantly, like you said, how you would have turned down a contract.
00:27:48.000I think a lot of them will lose out on their opportunities.
00:27:50.000And I think this is where you start seeing- It's because not enough of them are willing to stand up.
00:28:16.000Not only that, what I'm telling you, why I'm particularly frustrated with this is that even Rekha Gyorgyi, The one person who got bumped from the finals in her complaint said, I stand, I fully stand with Leah Thomas.
00:28:30.000And you know, she is no different from me or any other D1 swimmer who wakes up every day.
00:28:34.000And I said, then I am not going to do the work for you and no one else should.
00:28:40.000If they have an issue with this, they need to only politely say they could, they could wear a pink ribbon.
00:28:45.000They could wear a little ribbon that says like, I am protesting this, but I'll keep, keep going because I want my scholarships.
00:28:50.000But I am sick and tired of people who are aware of what's going on and apparently, according to the mothers, they are, but they won't speak publicly, who are refusing to stand up and stand up for their rights for whatever reason.
00:29:01.000They expect other people to do it for them.
00:29:04.000The left goes out and they throw bricks through windows and they burn down buildings and they've literally killed dozens of people in the George Floyd riots.
00:29:11.000Kamala Harris then helped bail these people out.
00:29:15.00013 Joe Biden staffers donated to help bail these people out.
00:29:18.000And Republicans are like, but I'm gonna get called a racist.
00:29:23.000If you are unwilling to stand up for yourself, for your children, if you were a father unwilling to stand up for your daughter, and you think I'm gonna come out and be like, I will stand up for you.
00:29:34.000So, I think that this goes back to, okay, look at what we saw for the past two years with the COVID lockdowns, right?
00:29:40.000People's businesses getting shut down, all of us being forced to mask up, all of these things that we had to do because the government told us to.
00:29:47.000I've been saying this since 15 days too slow to spread was originally talked about.
00:29:52.000This will not end until the masses decide that it does.
00:29:55.000You are completely right in that, Tim.
00:29:56.000This does not end until the female athletes decide that enough is enough.
00:30:00.000They're going to stand up, they're going to push back, and they're going to put an end to it.
00:31:37.000So if I, if there's a bunch of people in a house and they just want to create a meth lab and they're all cool with that, should I be cool with that?
00:32:42.000If we're talking specifically about the greater issue, by all means, everybody who wants to complain about it has a right to complain about it.
00:32:49.000When we're specifically talking about Rekka Gyorgi as the one person to publicly complain because she's the one person who got bumped, I'm like, dude, you had every opportunity to speak up.
00:32:58.000You didn't, and you're only complaining now because you're the one person who got bumped.
00:33:02.00018th place isn't complaining because she wouldn't have made it anyway, and 16th place isn't complaining because she did make it.
00:33:07.000I just don't see any principle among those people.
00:33:09.000And we already have people mentioning this, and I've answered this several times, who are saying, If I spoke up for my children, I would lose my job.
00:33:15.000Well, then I understand what you find to be more important.
00:33:18.000Security for your family is more important than what your children are going through with society and with culture.
00:33:24.000I said this before and I'll say it again.
00:33:27.000If you're more concerned about keeping your job and keeping your income, at least you'll know your kids had a good meal when in 20 years they're in the gulag or whatever.
00:33:37.000Sometimes speaking up is actually dangerous.
00:33:38.000The founding fathers had to keep it under wraps.
00:33:40.000If they'd spoke up against George, they would have been executed on the block.
00:33:44.000The parents could have come together on one night, all sat down and said, do we all agree we have a problem here?
00:33:49.000Okay, now that we've all come together, we can unanimously issue a statement under our names because we all know we have each other's backs.
00:33:55.000Yeah, Leah Thomas technically isn't doing anything wrong.
00:34:02.000And if I could jump in with you guys on this, because I do want to make this point because I agree with a lot of what you guys are saying, but this is when censorship comes into play.
00:34:10.000So, we all know that many people on the right wing, many of these independent journalists are being censored and why is that?
00:34:15.000It's because we are going out on the ground and we are elevating those unheard voices.
00:34:20.000So, right now you guys are saying you're not hearing from any of these athletes and why is that?
00:34:24.000It's because ESPN is platforming Leah Thomas.
00:34:28.000It's because all of the mainstream is platforming Leah Thomas as a hero.
00:34:31.000They're not platforming the adults and the parents that are speaking out.
00:34:35.000They're not platforming the athletes that are speaking out.
00:34:39.000But they are, Tim, because I interviewed them last week, and guess what?
00:34:46.000Why did the mother, who came out and gave a... Why did she come out anonymously to the New York Post?
00:34:51.000Again, but there's also parents that came out, they were not anonymous.
00:34:54.000They came out last week, they had their names, they had their picture up on the article, but those stories are not elevated and they're not promoted.
00:35:02.000So I understand what you're saying, but understand too that Big Tech is allowed to, you know, regulate what the narrative is.
00:35:09.000So there are people that are speaking out, there are athletes that are speaking out, but their footage is being deleted.
00:35:13.000They are being censored and they are being silenced because they are not the popular, you know, narrative that the Big Tech wants to push.
00:35:52.000He said something to the effect of, I have more disdain for those who know what's happening and refuse to speak than those who are ignorantly participating in it.
00:36:03.000And that's where I've been at for some time.
00:36:04.000The people who say to me, I know what they're doing to my children in school, that they're grooming their kids, and that they're making up lies about, you know, the Don't Say Gay Bill.
00:36:12.000Man, if you come to me and tell me you know what these teachers are doing to your kids, and that you'd rather have your job than save your kids from that, I think you've got a very serious problem with what's going to happen to your children.
00:36:24.000But here's where I have to think and not just react.
00:36:29.000I agree, and we're sitting in a room of people who've chosen, like you said, to not allow what could happen bad to us, or our friends, or our family, inhibit us from pursuing what we believe God has called us to, or the universe, or whatever you ascribe to.
00:36:44.000My point is, is that I am saddened that in every culture there are warriors and there are people who fight.
00:36:49.000And in the age of information and intellectual property, a lot of the fighting happens in the intellectual centers.
00:37:24.000It is so sad to me now that everybody is forced to join the war.
00:37:28.000Now, again, to concede to your point on this, there are times when the village gets raided, when the kingdom is under siege, and every able-bodied man... I mean, look at Ukraine.
00:37:36.000They're not letting the young men leave.
00:37:37.000Where it's like, there is a time to fight, but I'm saying, my point is, is that sometimes I think we're rushing people because we're more alarmist and see what's going on.
00:38:14.000So if somebody stole, Round up all the people and be like, you know, like arrest them and bring them to the magistrate or whatever.
00:38:20.000And the founding fathers understood everybody would have to fight to defend their land.
00:38:25.000What I see now is we are in a, we're now in year 14 of a major culture war.
00:38:30.000And it's going back to like, you know, economic collapse, the rise of critical race theory, Occupy Wall Street, Gamergate, all of these things.
00:38:37.000And you have people who are like, I've been watching what's been happening since Donald Trump.
00:38:42.000Social issues were a major component of why many millennials voted for Donald Trump.
00:38:46.000And still they say, as bad as it has gotten, and as crazy as things have gotten, I still refuse to fight.
00:39:08.000Are you saying nobody can avoid the war?
00:39:10.000I'm asking if that's what you're saying.
00:39:11.000What I'm saying is, to put it simply, if you place a person between two roads, and one is just keep swimming and keep your head down, and one is speak up and stand up for your rights, they're all choosing the road they think is better for them.
00:39:25.000That means they don't care enough about Leah Thomas to actually say anything.
00:39:30.000I'm sure they're upset about it because you can be mad about your choices and choose the lesser of two evils or something slightly worse.
00:39:38.000If people really cared about this, if parents really cared about their children, if you really cared about your kids and you knew teachers were grooming your kids, you would be homeless to save your child from that, right?
00:39:53.000Your child spends 8 hours a day being groomed by cult members and you make $50,000-$60,000 a year, or you're homeless and your kids are safe with you?
00:40:03.000So whether we'd have our kids hang out with Pete Buttigieg's husband, or we'd be homeless... Okay, like, I'm talking about what's going on in Florida.
00:40:10.000Yeah, I mean, the kids matter, but I will say, onto that point real fast, this is where I think that we're getting confused on the argument, and it's not going in circles.
00:40:19.000Just like I watched the Gay Pride Parade in Austin in that elementary school, I'm going, I don't blame the kids that are, I think they were like 8, 9 years old, 10 years old, I don't blame the kids for, you know, anything about that.
00:40:33.000And my fight would be with the teachers.
00:40:34.000I know this is unpopular, but I'm going to say this.
00:40:37.000I know, but I'm just pointing to that.
00:40:39.000I view people who are asleep, a lot of people who are asleep, With the same way that I view children is that they are not aware of what's going on, and I don't assume they all know what's going on, so I keep accountable those that do.
00:40:50.000And if there are swimmers that are out there that fully are aware of what's going on, they know what they're doing is wrong and they choose to do it, then yes, I would call them out, but we don't know.
00:40:57.000And I'm asking you a specific question.
00:41:00.000You would rather be homeless, safe with your kids.
00:41:02.000Yeah, because I'd figure out another way to make money.
00:41:03.000Well, so the response we get every time I bring this up, and we have Super Chats right here saying this exact thing, is, I can't speak up because I would lose my job, you know, and my kids need to eat and things like that.
00:41:14.000In West Virginia, you'd think it's the second most Trump-supporting state in the country.
00:41:19.000You'd think the schools are going to be Republican.
00:41:22.000The school board members who were voted in are woke.
00:41:25.000There are kids in West Virginia schools who are being groomed and indoctrinated.
00:41:29.000And there are parents who say, I don't care enough.
00:41:33.000to risk my security and that includes my children's security. Now I can fully understand.
00:41:38.000You prioritize your kid having a full belly over being away from groomers. I personally disagree.
00:41:45.000I don't have kids so maybe I can't speak to it and that's fine. But I typically ask most people
00:41:50.000and they give me the same response. I would rather be homeless and unsure of how I'm going to eat
00:41:54.000and my kids than leave my children in the hands of a groomer for eight hours every day at these
00:42:00.000My question is then, why so many parents do it?
00:42:02.000And I think it's because the parents, many of them don't know.
00:42:05.000And I'll totally contend to that, and we're fighting every day to inform them.
00:42:10.000But many of the parents do know and tell me, well, I don't want to lose my job.
00:42:14.000Okay. Look, no disrespect. You've chosen it. We had, um, we had Andrew Heaton on
00:42:19.000and I was explaining, he's, he's, you know, middle of the road guy. And he says both sides,
00:42:23.000you know, I take issue with. He's a libertarian guy. I think, is he a libertarian? Yeah.
00:42:28.000I said, the right makes their arguments based off of, they present facts they can prove to you and then from those facts will give you their opinion on why their policy ideas are correct.
00:42:41.000The left will lie to you about what the problem is because the ends justify the means to convince you to side with them.
00:42:49.000And his response was that I was describing the left as, you know, bad or evil and the right as moral.
00:43:14.000This is exactly what they'll tell you they're doing.
00:43:16.000What I said to him was, if you think that I'm describing them as good or evil, it's because you view one side as good or evil, not because I've ascribed that to them.
00:43:40.000When it comes to somebody who says, you know, I can't speak up because my kids or whatever, What they're really saying is, deep down they know their kid being in this position is very wrong and bad, but they prefer to keep their kid with the groomer than lose their job.
00:43:57.000And if I could answer now too, I would have the same exact answer as Elijah to say, you know, I would rather be homeless and take care of my child and protect my kids.
00:44:06.000But what you just laid out there, Tim, is exactly why our country is where it is today.
00:44:10.000Because if push comes to shove, and I think about this all the time with the Second Amendment, right?
00:44:14.000If push comes to shove, how many Americans do you think if the police were at their door right now and said, give us your guns or we will kill you, how many of them would just give up their guns willingly and give up their second amendment and rights?
00:44:25.000People do not understand that standing up for your rights means you are willing to die for your rights and you need to be ready to die for your rights, for your freedoms every single day.
00:44:34.000People don't seem to understand that because we've been so coddled as a society because we face no Real challenges as, you know, in this country.
00:44:43.000And so people so willingly give away their rights and freedoms, which is why for the past year, we've watched people say, I don't want to get vaccinated, but I'm going to do it to keep my job because the government told me to do it.
00:44:53.000If the government tells me to take four or five, six boosters, I will do it because they told me to.
00:44:57.000People do not have the mentality that they need to fight for their rights and die for them.
00:45:03.000And they don't get it, which is why we're here.
00:45:04.000Let's jump to the story about censorship.
00:45:14.000This week, Patreon, which hosts paid content for creators, has banned two well-known creators from its platform for appearances and content shared on other media platforms.
00:45:21.000On Tuesday, Sydney Watson, host of You Are Here, I've heard of that show, on BlazeTV was banned from the platform.
00:45:27.000Watson does not regularly post content to the site, but was banned over hate speech, according to a notice from Patreon.
00:45:34.000Watson's program on Blaze TV covers current topics, such as Disney employee walkouts.
00:45:59.000So it looks like we're starting to see censorship kicking back up.
00:46:02.000For a while there, there was a small lull, right?
00:46:05.000Censorship was huge news for a long period of time.
00:46:08.000All of a sudden now, the reason I would say it looks like we're starting to see things kicking to high gear is that Tucker Carlson getting censored is big.
00:46:25.000She was getting about a thousand bucks a month from Patreon, passively.
00:46:29.000This helps Sydney exist, and do work, and be influential.
00:46:32.000The midterm elections are coming up, and just one month ago, Mike Bloomberg said the Democrats are going to get wiped out.
00:46:38.000The polls are showing, as of the past few months, Democrats are getting wiped out.
00:46:42.000Mike Bloomberg was interesting because he said, the reason they're going to get wiped out is because Americans perceive Democrats as being too obsessed with cultural issues and not economic issues.
00:46:52.000I mean, if you watch the mainstream media, Sure, you might hear, like CNN and MSNBC will talk some about the Democrats, but for the most part, no, they're trying to prop them up.
00:47:01.000It's channels like ours, it's shows like yours, Elijah with Sydney, that are bringing up the cultural issues Democrats are engaged in, what the schools are actually fighting for.
00:47:10.000The teachers are trying to keep these things a secret.
00:47:13.000They don't want parents to know about it.
00:47:14.000If the parents didn't know about it, they'd probably not think Democrats were fighting for it.
00:47:19.000Because people like you or I expose this stuff, there's a perception growing among regular voters that Democrats are obsessed with cultural issues.
00:47:27.000Then they ban Sidney Watson seemingly out of the blue for no reason.
00:47:37.000I think just around the same time as the midterms.
00:47:39.000We saw Carl Benjamin get booted, and then all of a sudden a bunch of people staged a mass exodus.
00:47:43.000I think it may have been before the midterms, actually.
00:47:46.000It's no surprise that right before Democrats start losing, their allies in big tech and media start coming after prominent influencers who are making Democrats look bad.
00:47:55.000Yeah, you know, first of all, on the Sydney issue, we have to focus on this.
00:48:01.000But number one, that Sydney didn't use the platform or post anything anymore is clear evidence that she didn't do anything wrong on the platform.
00:48:11.000We know that Patreon does ban for activity outside the platform.
00:48:14.000In fact, I ended up doing a meeting and pretending to be a, um, take one of their, um, user meetings with their engineer team and pretended like I cared.
00:48:23.000I don't know if I should say that, but I ended up recording the audio and kept asking them questions of, of whether or not that they were, I've never published it.
00:48:30.000Hopefully, but I also was like I was talking to them and I genuinely this is years ago It's like what 2018 or about I think 2018 I was like hey I just want to know if you guys are for free speech and every time I'd ask him a question They would just kind of like dodge it and it was nothing came of it Matt Christensen got on a call recorded it years ago Do you remember the 2018 when Matt Christensen like recorded his phone call?
00:48:48.000Yeah, yeah, so he literally got on there and And when he was asked about it, whether it's a free, if they care about free speech, they were just like, I don't know.
00:48:56.000Like basically they didn't want to answer.
00:48:57.000So I looked back, I had tweets in 2018 saying, I got to leave.
00:49:00.000And my first tweet of January 1st of 2019 was like, my goal this year is to leave Patreon.
00:49:05.000And I did, and I lost thousands of dollars prematurely because I knew that this would happen.
00:49:09.000But with Sidney Watson, there's three things that are really vital here.
00:49:12.000Number one, Sidney is not a religious, zealot, nut, right-wing extremist, you know, person, some white straight male that we got to get off because you're gonna bring the nationalist fascist government back.
00:49:22.000Sidney is a cultured, atheist, very well-spoken, well-researched individual who mostly just puts out on her own channel hyper-researched, well-thought-out, scripted videos.
00:49:33.000She has no history of making extremist statements.
00:49:35.000She's never been a part of an extremist group.
00:49:38.000The closest thing she's ever done to extremism was run a men's rights conference in Australia, another country, for their rights and to fight for them, which was controversial in Australia, which everything's controversial there.
00:49:48.000But more importantly, the ironic part is we run a show together now.
00:49:52.000And the whole reason why we run a show together, she's the sane one who actually brings some logic and some straightforwardness and helps keep me back in reality where she lives while I'm out in space.
00:50:02.000So it's like Sydney's reputation Is actually for being calculated for thinking things through.
00:50:08.000And she's known for, if she doesn't know stuff, we'll say, I actually haven't researched that.
00:50:14.000Who's literally from Australia, who doesn't have a history of anything gets deleted.
00:50:19.000You know, it's targeting for a specific reason.
00:50:21.000And I I'm wondering though, with this, as they deleted her, I wonder if they're just testing who else they can delete.
00:50:26.000Cause if they can get somebody who doesn't post, but it's still making money, I feel like it gives them the green light to go, well, let's go after other people too.
00:50:39.000I will say, for Sydney, I reached out to her.
00:50:42.000I asked her if it was like a background thing for her, meaning she has it, it's available to people, but she doesn't actively post there, so it exists.
00:50:50.000But it's not like she was using the platform and ran afoul of their rules.
00:50:56.000As for Josh, I really have to question why he was on Patreon.
00:51:53.000But the reason I brought up Josh is that he put his career on a platform where over three years ago, Lauren Southern was nuked overnight without warning, and then Carl Benjamin, the CEO, said, we'll never do this again.
00:52:51.000No, but I mean like specifically saying like, like a career choice, like this bill, like it's one thing to be in a public space that everyone's allowed to access.
00:52:59.000But Patreon is a private company that I do understand.
00:53:02.000And the moment they took action against Lauren and Carl, I was like, I'm out.
00:53:06.000After Loren, I actually talked to the CEO, and he was like, dude, we're trying, you gotta understand.
00:53:12.000I argued with him, and I even, you know, I'm pretty sure he didn't even know what he was talking about when it came to Loren Southern, when I talked to him.
00:53:19.000When it happened with Carl Benjamin, I was like, this dude lied to us.
00:53:23.000So they invited us into their business.
00:53:25.000Let's say it was a sandwich shop that had a big sign saying, Elijah Schaefer will get punched in the face.
00:53:36.000Like, there are so many opportunities, I think, you've seen, too, where, like, genuinely, and I want to hear Sav's opinion on this, someone who is just fresh off the loop train, is where I do get, I totally understand this.
00:53:50.000I have a hard time commenting since I run primarily my career on YouTube.
00:53:54.000And I know YouTube hates me and I know that I could lose my channels any second.
00:53:58.000And I know we're all kind of playing that game.
00:54:00.000I would say, I think Josh just probably bet on the fact that, and I don't mean this disrespectfully to him, that it's more of a niche, smaller podcast.
00:54:18.000But I meant like, he's got this way where you think, well, I'm probably beyond scrutiny.
00:54:23.000Like even Sydney or whatever is raising in her profile.
00:54:26.000She's been very successful recently and throughout her career.
00:54:30.000I think she'll eventually be at a million subs pretty soon.
00:54:33.000And so she could be a target, but not me.
00:54:35.000And so that's what we're kind of seeing like with Sav, where it's like, and I'm not meaning this to disrespect you either, where Sav's learned that's the hard way is like, it doesn't matter how big you are.
00:54:47.000The bigger you are, the harder it is to ban you because it makes too big of a splash.
00:54:51.000That's why when it came to Learn to Code, Twitter mostly banned smaller accounts.
00:54:56.000So when the Learn to Code thing was happening, and they were banning people, it was mostly people with a few hundred followers who were just engaging and sharing and talking.
00:55:05.000I tweeted Learn to Code several times.
00:55:12.000So they can get rid of as many of these conservatives as possible saying Learn to Code, and none of them are big enough to actually make a splash.
00:55:20.000So, banning Josh is actually entirely predictable.
00:55:23.000If you're a small creator, like if you're a new channel, with maybe only a hundred to several thousand followers, and you go on YouTube, you'll be banned in two seconds.
00:55:32.000If you go on Patreon, you'll be banned in two seconds.
00:55:34.000This is why I say, if you're just starting out now, Rumble is the place to be.
00:55:40.000But Rumble is gonna be growing, plus there's locals integration with Rumble.
00:55:44.000I've got my issues with locals, but they're still substantially better than Patreon, I can't imagine.
00:55:48.000Like, there's no reason you couldn't just go to locals.
00:55:50.000You know, you build your business on the platform of someone who expressly says, like, we're going to destroy you, and we want to, and then you're shocked when they do.
00:55:58.000Well, and that's the thing, too, that we all should have learned from Alex Jones being banned, right?
00:56:09.000And then as the years have progressed, we've seen more and more people get banned.
00:56:13.000And like you just talked about, Tim, you know, if you're an independent journalist who's just getting into the game, You are not going to make it if you're willing to tell the truth.
00:56:21.000You're not going to make it if you're actually trying to go out on the street and go get those interviews and go viral.
00:56:32.000But I mean, think about the fact that you, Candice Owens, Elijah Schafer, Steven Crowder, a lot of these big names, you guys got really popular back in the day when YouTube was still the wild, wild west, when you could still say whatever you wanted on Twitter.
00:56:43.000Now it's really difficult to break into the space unless you're on an alternative platform like Truth Social or Locals, Rumble, all that stuff.
00:57:00.000That's when it hit, too, the major news shift on YouTube.
00:57:04.000It was 2018 in May when YouTube nuked my channels.
00:57:07.000Everyone's channels got nuked across the board.
00:57:09.000And it was only last year the censorship got removed on Google for Timcast.
00:57:15.000So we actually were hindered for a long time.
00:57:17.000I think the issue was that, for one, I'm a workaholic.
00:57:21.000I was producing, I think, four hours of content every day, more than any other talk radio host or podcaster, and weekends with no days off.
00:57:29.000That helped me kind of push through this barrier they were setting up.
00:57:33.000And then last year, I mentioned on this show that you couldn't even Google search TimCast, the channels, or any of our videos.
00:57:40.000That if you took the title of one of our segments and put it in Google, Facebook would come up.
00:57:45.000You could even try and search for YouTube.
00:57:46.000And then immediately after that, the next day, the filters were removed.
00:57:50.000So we actually went through all of that.
00:57:52.000We had the Alternative Influencer Network study that was published by all these major outlets that tried claiming I was the center, no joke, of like this vast network of the alt-right or something.
00:58:19.000I just hear that yelled at me before I end up getting a black eye.
00:58:22.000It's a satirical song based on Paparazzi by Lady Gaga where he mocks the left for thinking everyone's a Nazi.
00:58:29.000He did delete, he unlisted the video because I guess the left told him it was bad and he like apologized or something for it and removed it, which I think is ridiculous and silly because it was a great point he was making.
00:58:39.000But the point being, The true era of free speech on YouTube was... 2006.
00:58:44.000After Google bought them in 2006, it was about four months, and then they made their first ban, and it was Warren 25.
00:58:51.000Go back and watch Warren 25 videos if you can find any of them.
00:58:55.000He had to change his name to Warren 25 Smash.
00:59:41.000I mean, maybe we'll see it once YouTube's completely obliterated.
00:59:44.000But I was at the Tribeca Film Festival ceremony thing.
00:59:48.000I got invited to back in, I think, 2012.
00:59:49.000This is 20... I'm pretty sure this is 2012.
00:59:53.000And there was this very popular YouTube group, I'll let them keep their privacy, and they were talking to me about how, they were like, man, YouTube used to be amazing back in like 2009, 2010.
01:00:04.000They were like, we'd put up a video and we'd get like 5 million views, now we're lucky if we get half a million.
01:00:08.000That was in 2012 they were saying that.
01:00:10.000Vice, they got all of their big play on their documentaries in like 2009 and 2010.
01:00:16.000And then after that, it's like on average, they get like 50,000 now.
01:00:20.000So people are like, the, the, the, oh man, the best time was four or five years ago.
01:00:24.000Now there's, there's, there's, there's no, it's getting bad.
01:00:28.000But I think the reality is right now, the ladder is being pulled up behind you.
01:00:34.000There are different periods where everyone thinks, like, this period was the peak, this period was the peak.
01:00:38.000I don't know when the peak was, to be honest.
01:00:40.000Maybe 2012, but maybe not even, because your real opportunity for virality in the era of Reddit and YouTube, this is how, you know, I'm gonna leave people's names out of it, but there's a very prominent podcast that's, like, spiraling out of control and failing with, you know, this He's like, the host is sitting in the room and I'm like, but I won't point fingers.
01:02:03.000This is right before it got really bad in 2019.
01:02:06.000If you got in on 2018, you essentially, you know, in the terms of the girl getting passed around the team, you were the fourth or fifth in, but you still made it into the game.
01:02:39.000Number one, by shutting the door to individual creators, that was their point, is to take away independent media.
01:02:44.000Because not just the right wing, but as we see with like Russell Brand or Joe Rogan, people who are not right wing, but are inherently open to ideas, which is now becoming a right wing idea.
01:02:51.000I don't know if you saw today that MSNBC says that exercise is a right wing idea, which I actually kind of agree with.
01:02:58.000But I will say that they shut the door because, it's a joke, but okay.
01:03:02.000Anyway, so they shut the door to independent and small media.
01:03:09.000My new PA, Josiah Moody, who started, he was like, Hey, I was like, yeah, Tucker at his peak, we'll get, you know, three, 3.5 million views.
01:03:15.000He goes, yeah, but have you seen his YouTube?
01:03:17.000And I go, yeah, bro, I'm going to tell you about this one thing called authoritative news sources where they gave all the news media Basically all of the views that we would all get so number one that shut it out And that doesn't allow us to have ideas it gives the mainstream media control of the internet Which they didn't have in our country, but the worst part about this is and you'll know this the worst part about this Let's say you're new and you want to come up
01:03:39.000Well, the way that you want to come up in your new, in your political, you can't go with the views model unless you work for mainstream media, so you've got to build a cult following.
01:03:47.000A cult following will always reward more extreme ideas.
01:03:50.000And not only will it reward more extreme ideas, but it'll actually push you into corners, into more niche avenues, which will make somebody try to appeal to a more extreme perspective.
01:03:59.000And I see this happening all across the board, especially with Gen Z, is that they've become very authoritarian on left and the right.
01:04:06.000The people that they like to watch that are more like, you know, demonetized, ban on Twitch, either they're pushing straight up fascism or communism.
01:04:14.000And what you do is the only place that you can grow, you can go onto like, you can go onto any of these, you know, side apps where people have fundamentally more extreme views.
01:04:23.000Now, what that does is it means if you want to find someone who's young, who thinks like you, who's a new creator, Timple sucks, Elijah sucks, Sav sucks, Ian sucks.
01:04:31.000Okay, I don't want to hear these millennial people, whatever, get the hell out.
01:04:43.000Some of them, you know, whether you agree with them or not, you have one option.
01:04:45.000So they're creating an extremist pipeline that they say they're trying to ban, and that's what makes it sad is that young guy goes, well, I want to be a right-wing podcaster.
01:04:54.000If you're espousing Charlie Kirk's views, Ben Shapiro's views, you aren't going to get anywhere.
01:04:59.000You're going to have to go as far right or as far left as possible.
01:05:02.000You're going to have to appeal to the extreme base, focus on small donations, and then we start breeding these little, like, cosmic groups of people who are in an echo chamber, and they all think they're right.
01:05:12.000They're completely detached from any of the mainstream narrative, any of the independent media, and they're doing their own thing, and I feel like we've lost them.
01:06:07.000It's been four years, and We're now talking about the authoritarian takeover of the country and getting rid of the constitution, installing a king, and a mono-religious state.
01:06:17.000I'm going, how did we jump in five years from, hey, let's talk about H-1B visas and talk about immigration moratoriums to a Catholic Christendom?
01:06:27.000It's not that these people are any... I'm not scared of them or anything, I'm just going, oh crap, that was a fast acceleration politically.
01:06:33.000I just want to mention something, because I was watching, I think I was watching Fox, I'm not sure, and a commercial came on With Charlie Kirk, he was promoting some kind of product for like back pain, I think it was.
01:06:44.000I'm not entirely sure, but it was just interesting because it was like him talking about how he was having trouble exercising and he needed some supplements or something like that.
01:06:52.000And I'm like, isn't Charlie like in his mid to late 20s?
01:06:59.000I always get shocked that he's my age because he's a lot richer than me and done so much more of his life.
01:07:05.000People criticize him, but I always say this.
01:07:06.000He has a lot you could criticize and that shows he's done a lot and there's fair points.
01:07:10.000But all I want to end with the point on that is that that is where There's an article written about me recently that was supposed to be a pejorative, like, sort of diss that was going, oh, Elijah is becoming the olive branch, connecting the fringe right to the mainstream right.
01:07:28.000Because I think that the mainstream right freaking sucks.
01:07:31.000And I think the fringe right is idealistic and they see the problems, but they're overcorrecting.
01:07:35.000I think instead of, you know, understanding that, yeah, maybe you don't like feminist women and maybe, you know, you want to see women be wholesome.
01:07:44.000The two shall become one, get married, find a wholesome woman.
01:07:47.000You know, if you're out there and you're like, Hey, yeah, I realize the LGBT movement sucks.
01:07:51.000They're talking about putting the gays against the wall and shooting them.
01:07:54.000And you're like, Hey, there's steps between that to where you can fix society.
01:07:58.000that doesn't have to jump straight to like mass killings of people.
01:08:01.000And I see, I kind of think maybe that's just a really fringe thing.
01:08:05.000Cause it is not as fringe as you would think.
01:08:07.000The, it is the, the idea of going from just, Hey, let's fight the LGBTQ movement
01:08:12.000to let's do away with them is pretty, pretty relevant and common.
01:08:15.000And what I'm saying is I'm going, Hey, we need to kind of slow this down for a
01:08:19.000And we need to figure this out because we're going literally from like, Hey, we need Christ back in the country, which we do to like, let's create a religious state that is, we're going back yet to a monarchy and stuff.
01:08:30.000And I'm going, Hey, that's maybe ideal, not realistic.
01:08:33.000So let's bring some of these kids out of the, out of the echo chambers, let them experience life and see, Hey, let's, let's attain to some real solutions rather than these extreme positions that might lead to absolute anarchy.
01:08:52.000They are on independent streaming sites.
01:08:55.000And I'm not saying that I disagree with everything these people think.
01:08:58.000I just see that they're young people who are disconnected from older people with wisdom.
01:09:02.000So they're taking these super overcorrective worldviews that are based in truth and out of a desire to correct what's wrong in the country.
01:09:10.000But they're disconnected from reality.
01:10:20.000Like, to your point, I don't see them getting rebuttaled in these circles that it's kind of like, I agree with them, there's a big problem, but then it's like the two factors.
01:10:55.000Yeah, because she was exposed to a bunch of other people and other ideas and allowed her to realize, you know, her ideas were wrong.
01:11:01.000If these big tech companies are taking people and isolating them, I mean, yeah, there are probably places where people are saying really insane things.
01:11:11.000Like, I honestly, I just, I can't believe the degree to which you've explained it because, I mean, that's the kind of stuff that gets banned for even being hinted at.
01:11:18.000Like that's my point, though, so we don't hear it.
01:11:20.000But look at where we're at as a society as well.
01:11:22.000That's what I was going to say is all of the people who have been banned
01:11:25.000off of Twitter and all of these other social media platforms,
01:11:28.000the people who have been watching the media lie to us consistently for years.
01:11:31.000They've gotten radicalized themselves, and they don't feel like
01:11:45.000And so we're seeing the radicalization of both the right and the left, like Elijah's talking about, because we just have these echo chambers with people reiterating the same exact ideas.
01:11:54.000And they continue to get more and more extreme because there's no debate or rebuttal, like you said.
01:11:58.000In the early days of YouTube, I started to get very radical, because it was what you were talking about.
01:12:02.000The more radical you get, the larger your cult following builds faster, and I was like propelling it, and I went semi-crazy.
01:12:08.000I almost killed myself, and I stopped making videos.
01:12:10.000I started building minds behind the scenes.
01:12:12.000Intentionally, or like... No, like I was just so depressed with the world and what was happening, and I was overly red-pilled, I guess.
01:12:43.000I know it's risky and it's nerve-wracking, but it's worth it.
01:12:46.000This is what's been happening since censorship became an issue.
01:12:50.000The right is overly policed, so the only people left standing are suit-wearing, more moderate or slightly center-right conservative types.
01:13:00.000The left is left unabated, so the worst of the worst shine through.
01:13:05.000The way I described it before is, imagine there are two kids, And the parent doesn't let their son have any ice cream, but their daughter is allowed to have all the ice cream they want.
01:13:16.000So you walk up, and you see two kids, and you've got the daughter covered in chocolate and fudge all over her face, and she looks like a disaster, and you're like, that kid is unkempt, messy, and disorganized.
01:13:26.000And then you look over, and you see this clean-cut looking child wearing a nice little suit, and you're like, see, that's how you should do it.
01:13:32.000The assumption is one kid is inherently better than the other, but the reality is the parent just doesn't let one kid anywhere near ice cream.
01:13:38.000So what happens on social media is you can have a fringe right-wing conspiracy theorist go on the platform and they get nuked in two seconds.
01:13:44.000You can have Antifa advocate for violence and they're allowed.
01:13:47.000So what ends up happening to your more mainstream urban liberal types, your city urban liberal types, is the prominent voices that get play are extreme and uncensored.
01:13:58.000They say crazy things, and they're allowed.
01:14:01.000When Richard Spencer got punched in the face, the entirety of the establishment left was cheering, calling for violence, and celebrating it.
01:14:08.000When the Covington kid situation happened, you had large quantities of blue check establishment personalities and journalists advocating for violence against these kids.
01:14:17.000The right can go nowhere near that, so you typically don't see the right calling for violence on Twitter.
01:14:22.000Granted, I think if the right was uncensored as well, you'd probably see similar things, but they'd get purged from the platform.
01:14:27.000It gives the ride a more clean-cut appearance.
01:14:31.000What they're effectively doing is the left is continually radicalizing itself through their own privilege and control of institutions.
01:14:37.000I think that will lead to their downfall because regular people who don't want to be involved in this are starting more and more to align with conservatives.
01:14:51.000Independents and conservatives are like, no way, he's doing a bad job.
01:14:54.000Democrats are out there in Wally world believing their own cult nonsense.
01:14:58.000Because of this, regular middle-of-the-road people, the people Republicans need in order to get elected, they're siding with Republicans.
01:15:05.000Now the general ballot polling for the midterms shows Republicans with a major advantage in 538, about 2.5 points, and at RealClearPolitics, it's like 3.5 points.
01:15:16.000When Democrats have 5 points or less, they lose seats.
01:15:21.000If Republicans now have an advantage, I mean, some are speculating it's going to be massive in November for Republicans.
01:15:28.000Not that I think the Republicans will do anything, but, you know, people are certainly pissed off.
01:15:32.000You know what, real fast, just to say, to your point, it's so common, actually, that the FBI had to add the phrase in Minecraft to their list of dog whistles because there was so much talk about violence and adding additives to them that's increased so heavily that the FBI even got involved.
01:15:48.000And I'm not even saying that, you know, sometimes in wars are necessary, there are righteous wars.
01:15:52.000But what I want to thank you for, for sharing that story, is like people don't realize that I myself too started out extremely radical, nearly cult-like, like into the terms of like when I, where I started was like, you know, FEMA camps and Alex, Alex Jones got me started in politics.
01:16:10.000And then I switched over to like Ben Shapiro and stuff.
01:16:12.000And people were nervous about my political beliefs.
01:16:48.000And so the point is, is like, I think sometimes when you go through that moment to where you, you did find yourself in what would be considered an extremist.
01:16:55.000If I shared some of the views I held then, I could be kicked off the, I would be kicked off the
01:17:29.000So these are people I talk to a lot of these people who are very zealous and religious and I respect that but they don't know their Bible.
01:17:35.000It comes a lot of times from a place of self-righteousness and bitterness and anger and hatred for the world that they've been given and I love the fact that they want to change the world but I do fear because I've been seeing it across the board with Gen Z We're not the popular ones.
01:17:52.000And if you look at their conferences and what's going on, they're getting bigger, bigger, and bigger.
01:17:56.000And that's our fault if we're not extending and trying to bridge the gap and we just blame tech companies and go, well, I guess life is like this and we're just on the outskirts.
01:18:05.000It's like, no, I believe in an America where we can bridge this intellectual gap that we're having.
01:18:09.000Dude, a few years ago, Ben Shapiro was considered the intellectual dark web.
01:18:13.000And now people think Ben Shapiro is the softest dude ever on major social issues.
01:19:33.000And if you don't have somebody in the conservative movement that's actually leading the movement in the way that it should be led, and it's actually standing up for these conservative values, look at where we're at right now.
01:19:43.000That's why we have two factions of conservatism.
01:19:45.000That's why Gen Z feels so unheard, because they think that conservatives are weak and pathetic, because they are.
01:19:49.000Because we're, you know, promoting people like Caitlyn Jenner.
01:19:51.000We're promoting people who do not stand for traditional conservatism, and they see that.
01:19:57.000Well, hey guys, everyone's looking at me all of a sudden.
01:20:00.000I find that the solution lies in the systems that we create.
01:20:04.000We're building a charity that is building decentralized software where you can host your own content on a server of your choice or your own server and get direct subscriptions.
01:20:12.000You still have to worry about Verizon shutting you down and your ISP shutting you down.
01:21:11.000Let's talk about war, because we got it.
01:21:13.000The New York Times ran the story, the smaller bombs that could turn Ukraine into a nuclear war zone.
01:21:19.000A photo released by Russian state-owned news agency showing the Iskander-M launch vehicle being loaded with a ballistic missile during military exercises at a Russian firing range in the... How do you pronounce that?
01:22:20.000I think USA Today had read an op-ed saying a small nuclear war could be good for the environment.
01:22:24.000So, what I'm saying is we might see nuclear artillery.
01:22:27.000We're going to see... Russia will use, in my opinion, if they need to.
01:22:32.000If they are losing, I would not be surprised if Russia does use nukes.
01:22:36.000I don't know... Let me make sure I'm clarifying this.
01:22:39.000I don't know if the probability that Russia uses this is 10% or 2%, 50% or 1%, but Vladimir Putin continually threatens to use nukes as he will not back down.
01:22:50.000There are a lot of people who fear that NATO doesn't care.
01:22:53.000They're reckless or Biden is completely inept.
01:22:55.000And what we'll end up seeing is Russia, they keep reporting as being backed into a corner.
01:23:23.000The missile comes down, ejects fuel, spraying it all through the air, and then sucks all the air up and explodes, like just vaporizing people.
01:23:31.000So they've already got very, very powerful but lower yield weapons.
01:23:34.000If Putin had to, I think he would use it.
01:23:37.000If NATO intervenes, I think it's possible he does.
01:23:40.000And then I'm worried about what happens to Europe.
01:23:42.000Will we actually see Russia say, you're not gonna nuke us back, we can do what we want?
01:23:46.000And then, you know, honestly, I was thinking about it earlier, because there's this conspiracy theory.
01:23:51.000Someone predicted a year ago what's happening now.
01:23:54.000And so this meme's going viral where some guy's like, here's what's gonna happen with Russia.
01:23:57.000And the next step, they said, was that NATO would get involved, Russia would threaten nuclear weapons, NATO would call their bluff, Russia would say, oh yeah, and then fire a nuke, and then you get nuclear war.
01:24:07.000I'm not entirely, like, it seems far-fetched, but I also think it would be silly for us at this point, it would be optimism and normalcy bias to think a nuclear war would never happen.
01:24:17.000I think specifically you're talking about explosive nuclear weapons too, because the Americans in Iraq in the second Iraq war used depleted uranium weapons, because in order to penetrate armor in a tank that's made with the depleted uranium, you need depleted uranium bullets.
01:24:31.000So they just sprayed them across the desert, they're underground in the desert irradiating Yeah, we're talking about...
01:25:49.000That's the issue, is that Thucydides' trap looms, and there's a conspiracy theory that Western powers for the past 20 years have known Thucydides' trap is a real possibility, and as we've already shown all of you, the liberal world order exists.
01:26:05.000The Council on Foreign Relations explains this, and they say there will be a new world order.
01:26:09.000One of the theories is that The powerful elites of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, etc.
01:26:16.000I mean, these are organizations that outright just say they're doing these things.
01:26:23.000They say there's a liberal world order.
01:26:25.000Now, these people have to be aware of Thucydides' trap, that U.S.
01:26:29.000is a large economic power, the largest, and China is growing as an economic power, and that means World War III is likely.
01:26:36.000If your intention is to prevent World War III, then you need to stop Thucydides' trap from happening.
01:26:41.000Well, you can't stop China from growing, so what do you do?
01:26:44.000You cut off the tall grass in the U.S.
01:26:46.000You cripple the United States so that they fall as fast as China rises, and thus you avoid a war.
01:26:52.000I'm not saying that's true, but I'm saying it's certainly, you know, one theory about the policies enacted by the Biden administration and the Obama administration that have seemingly hurt the United States, and not even them.
01:27:01.000I mean, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton as well.
01:27:04.000Well, I don't even believe the narrative that the nuclear war is going to happen.
01:27:35.000And no one heard about this until Russia was going to invade.
01:27:38.000Now, of course I joked about it that week.
01:27:39.000I go, that was the zero day war because they kept getting it wrong.
01:27:42.000And if you leave it up to the Biden administration to literally be stupid enough to like announce the exact day that he knows he's going to invade, as if, you know, he's going to, Putin's going to be like, okay, I'll go ahead and keep to the date.
01:27:55.000He ended up going inside and going, you know, first the peacekeeping mission and then moving forward.
01:28:00.000But ultimately, everything I hear is about creating hatred, not just for Russia, but for Russians.
01:28:07.000And the hatred for Russians is why I don't believe the nuclear side.
01:28:10.000Because anything they can use to get people to distance themselves and recreate an iron curtain, an iron wall between that nation Seems to be at hand.
01:28:57.000I meant, now, it's like, where they have to kind of change the threat from something that we've never had this global discussion on micro warheads to, like, this might happen.
01:29:05.000And I always feel like with the ghost of Kiev, Snake Island, the video that came out today that you mentioned on Twitter, It's been nothing but propaganda to the point that I just put pictures up from my trip in Ukraine and people needed to debunk them.
01:29:21.000But the nuclear war angle is actually preventing NATO from intervening.
01:29:24.000But I don't think so though, because I think that Putin is pretty, if you watch what his speeches are, not that I would believe everything he says, he's kind of upfront about what he wants.
01:29:33.000And I think the issue, even if you go back to Noam Chomsky trying to explain what's been happening inside of Ukraine, he's not okay with it being militarized.
01:29:59.000Yeah, but I think Ukraine actually has... I believe they're more corrupted in terms of with our own regime and government.
01:30:04.000I think it's a puppet arm of the United States.
01:30:06.000But Estonia and Latvia are NATO members.
01:30:09.000Yes, but I'm saying I think Ukraine specifically, like as we're seeing now, I don't know if we're going to donate, like with Georgia, I don't think we're going to, I don't know if we're going to really donate arms and really fight as hard as you would think, but Ukraine sits as a middle puppet that we control, that we don't control, but it's still for money laundering, it's a US proxy.
01:30:25.000It is, in my opinion, nothing to do with neutrality.
01:30:28.000Vladimir Putin wants access to their only warm water port in Crimea, and if Ukraine goes EU, they cut Russia off.
01:30:34.000So, Russia moves in through the east, they go into the country, they're effectively trying to bifurcate from the north and the south.
01:30:42.000Ultimately, I don't know where Putin goes with this.
01:30:44.000Neutrality is, I believe, part of his goal.
01:30:47.000I think it has a lot to do with him wanting to maximize energy sales into Europe, which is what essentially helps fund the Russian economy.
01:30:55.000But I think Crimea, there's a reason he took it instantly.
01:30:59.000Russia has one warm water port in the Black Sea.
01:31:23.000And I think if you've seen this, all we've heard about Ukraine in the last few years has been American corruption, money laundering, elitist families, and even Trump.
01:31:30.000You saw that, I mean, back that old clip where he's literally sitting with Zelensky saying this is a very corrupt country that deals with massive layers of corruption, meaning we've known this is a problem state, and Putin's been aware of this too.
01:31:41.000I'm just saying when Noam Chomsky and me are agreeing that something's very wrong in the
01:31:45.000world in general, saying and warning just in 2018, hey, the media has been deceiving
01:31:51.000the Ukrainian people, Western media, into thinking they can be a Western nation.
01:31:54.000But it has been understood with Gorbachev on that any sort of push to move Western in
01:32:00.000Ukraine would end in a bloody war and would end in some sort of, you know, aggression
01:32:04.000from the Russian government, no matter what leader was in power.
01:32:07.000He was saying they're not going to accept that and they're going to invade.
01:32:10.000So I'm just saying that, you know, they've been duped just like we're standing with Ukraine.
01:32:13.000I think the Ukrainians don't realize the proxy that they have and the importance of that position.
01:32:17.000I believe the West pushed this invasion to be necessary.
01:32:21.000I don't think if we had pulled out, not installed our own regime, not created a revolution through social media, I don't think this would have happened now.
01:32:29.000But I do believe that because of the inability for the West and the East To somehow leave some country alone.
01:32:48.000Yeah, so Russia wants to expand its power.
01:32:51.000They want the Russian Trade Federation.
01:32:52.000The EU obviously wants to expand, wants the breadbasket of Europe.
01:32:56.000When I went to Ukraine and talked to a lot of people, they all said, we have the opportunity to either join with Russia and have this trade federation, which would benefit us greatly, or the EU, which would be very similar.
01:33:06.000And then a lot of people were like, we don't trust Russia because they genocided our people.
01:33:11.000Yeah, the Holdom War, a man-made famine, a man-made famine convulsed the Soviet Republic of Ukraine from 1932 to 1933.
01:34:14.000And then you had just the Soviet Union going until, you know, only 20 or 30 years ago.
01:34:20.000So these people are like, nah, not interested.
01:34:22.000You know, they're like, we'll take the capitalists in Europe for all their faults.
01:34:26.000So yeah, but I've said, I think the media brainwashed them into thinking that could happen.
01:34:30.000Like, that's my whole point is that I, like our media, you know, tells us things that are absolutely false, that there was, you know, we were safe in Afghanistan, that it was going to be a smooth pullout and it wasn't a smooth pullout.
01:34:40.000It was literally like a, you know, end of prom night, sloppy pullout.
01:34:43.000It was a surrender, a literal military surrender.
01:35:04.000And that's, I'm not blaming the people for getting duped.
01:35:06.000I'm saying, I believe that this was, if this continued the way it did, as we're seeing, it was going to be unavoidable because Russia wasn't going to put up with it.
01:35:13.000Even if it's for whatever reason you said, or things that we don't know, because I'm not an expert, despite the joke that I'm an Eastern European war expert, because everyone is now.
01:35:41.000If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show if you really like it, and go to TimCast.com, become a member.
01:35:48.000We're gonna have a very spicy members-only show I can just sell, and you're gonna love it.
01:35:52.000So that will be over at TimCast.com around 11 or so p.m.
01:35:55.000Sign up, help us out, and let's read some of these Super Chats.
01:39:34.000So what I was saying, when Biden said, you know, we created a liberal world order and then every three to four generations, there's like a, you know, a big event and 60 million people died.
01:39:43.000And then he was like, there will be a new world order.
01:39:46.000It's funny because he's like referencing the fourth turning.
01:39:48.000So my point was, What happens at the World Economic Forum, I think people assume there's like a big grand table where they all sit around and Joe Biden's like, all right, masters, tell me what to do.
01:40:01.000These people have meetings, they have shared goals.
01:40:06.000The problem with a lot of people's view of these things, that there's like an organization to it, is that That actually, in my opinion, gives them more credit than they deserve, and it actually is less scary.
01:40:16.000The scarier thing is that there is a sphere of influence of powerful elites who get together, and they pull people in, and some people pop out, but this sphere, this hive, this swarm exists.
01:40:28.000That's when you guys were talking about superpowers earlier.
01:40:38.000And that thing, if it wants to shut your country off from your economy, that's one of the greatest powers you have on Earth.
01:40:44.000So it's essentially, a rich person can enter the sphere of influence, and it's not like anyone tells them what to do, you know, Bezos or Bill Gates, certainly people came before them, right?
01:40:54.000It's that you reach this level, and then you get invited to these meetings where you sit down, and they say, what do you think?
01:40:59.000You've got this big company, and then everyone talks, and ultimately they all align themselves cooperatively, not authoritatively, you know what I mean?
01:41:07.000Isn't it kind of crazy how Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey and a bunch of these billionaires were meeting together talking about depopulation?
01:41:13.000That was a Wall Street Journal article.
01:41:15.000You can look that up back in 2015, I believe.
01:43:31.000No, I mean, I said the quote earlier that what men can get periods, they can get pregnant, women have penises, they were saying, and I asked them, I was like, so have you seen Leah Thomas stand next to, you know, her female athletes and competitors?
01:43:43.000And they're like, no, no, we can't see a biological difference.
01:43:47.000I think it's very stark, but you know, that's because it was a man that transitioned into a woman and, you know, It's just your opinion, Ian.
01:43:54.000It's not the fact that, you know, Lea Thomas has broad shoulders and is six feet tall.
01:44:01.000If you have one faction that is willing to burn down cities and the other faction is like, Tim, don't get mad at people who won't stand up for themselves.
01:44:12.000When the Democrats accuse Brett Kavanaugh of being party to gang rape on more than one occasion, and the best the right can muster up is Josh Hawley saying, I have concerns about your lenient sentences.
01:44:23.000And he actually went on to say, I do believe Judge Katonji Brown-Jackson will have a coherent and thoughtful response.
01:44:29.000I believe she'll be able to well explain this, so I appreciate it.
01:44:39.000If the Republicans were as arrogant, or I said as ruthless, and had the callousness and ruthlessness of the Democrats, they'd be calling Keitanji Brown a pedophile.
01:44:47.000But the Republicans are extremely weak, at least relative to Democrats.
01:44:51.000Now you can say principled, in a sense, that they don't want to, you know, besmirch the decorum of the chamber, and they're trying to be fair and reasonable, but this is my point.
01:45:01.000Um, when you have, you know, I'm not asking these young girls to throw away their careers, but I'm asking to take a small risk, right?
01:45:10.000So some people have said, okay, Tim, but you support YouTube, you're using the platform, you know, they censor people.
01:45:15.000And I'm like, yeah, and we've had Steve Bannon on what, three times, four times, Alex Jones on four times.
01:45:20.000We regularly, you know, do everything we can to, you know, these are people who are censored.
01:45:25.000We've brought them back to the platform.
01:45:27.000And we'll keep doing things like that.
01:45:28.000And then we set up TimCast.com where we can carry out other conversations.
01:45:32.000And then we advocate for things like Rumble.
01:45:34.000So we're absolutely speaking up and trying to push back while being a part of this.
01:45:40.000If these young women at the swim meets were like, hey, we all kind of have an issue with this.
01:45:45.000I'd be like, right on. I respect that. My issue is the only person to speak up is the one who got
01:45:51.000bumped. Like not even the person right above her is like, yeah, that's not cool. She got bumped.
01:45:55.000She won't even say anything. Well, she had an NDA or something. That was my question to you.
01:45:59.000Is that I'm wondering if while they're in the competition, it would be interesting to find
01:46:03.000out if there's certain rules on like, you know, not making political statements and or something
01:46:08.000What they were told is that they had to be silent about Leo Thomas because it was such a controversial issue, which is why none of them spoke out except for Rose Pouch, who is the athlete that I interviewed.
01:46:19.000Because I've been involved in an organization before when I was in high school and it was like a student leadership type thing.
01:46:26.000progressive California group, but it was very keen on not like making political
01:46:30.000statements. And I find this ironic with Turning Point, like we're nonprofit, we
01:46:33.000can't make political statements. Like I get what you're saying, but you're a
01:46:35.000political group. But I know some people... That's true though. I know, I'm saying that's a
01:46:40.000little different, but I'm wondering if they're just thinking like, hey yeah, like
01:46:44.000Leah Thomas can't make a political statement, I can't...
01:46:47.000Even though Leah Thomas is a political statement, like the existence is a political statement.
01:46:52.000I think, and you would even argue, yeah, them swimming as a political statement that they agree because they're not quitting.
01:46:56.000Maybe they just don't understand what a political statement is and they don't realize that it's gonna take one to speak to open up the floodgate.
01:47:01.000Or I'm wrong and they all agree and they're brainwashed like the rest of America.
01:47:21.000I might be wrong with this, but in the revolution, didn't like 1% or less, and I might sound like a total idiot right now, like actually fight in the war of the population?
01:47:35.000Right, so what I was saying is that my point wasn't that we don't need fighters, it's sad that we're at a point where we expect not only everyone to fight, but like women too, where like I wish the fight against this was with male administrators that were fighting for what's going on at the university, and dads, and parents, not like these girls who are like, hey you better not swim!
01:49:39.000Like I, when I got into this career, I didn't quit my job, my day job,
01:49:44.000until a year into this when I knew I could support myself.
01:49:47.000And I want to remind people, not on Patreon, that if you do have dreams or you do want to do stuff, sometimes we feel like we're left with two options, like Russia or Ukraine, rather than saying, well, I don't really stand with either.
01:49:57.000I stand with the people of both, but not either.
01:50:00.000Sometimes there is other options and there are other ways around things.
01:50:02.000So I always say when you're stuck between this forced major of, hey, you gotta choose and your life's gonna get ruined if you don't do this, ask yourself if there is a way to ease into the values that you want to appeal to or that you wanna be, even if you're not ready now to lose your job.
01:50:17.000Well, find out if you can protest more at work and start with something.
01:50:20.000I'm saying start with something to move yourself in the direction so you don't live a hypocritical life.
01:50:24.000If you're not willing to make that big of a jump, At least make a small step and start making a strategic plan to getting to a point to where maybe you start your own business now so that you can quit the job and that you finally will be able to make the jump.
01:50:36.000And I don't think there's anything wrong with strategy.
01:50:38.000There was a band in the 90s, and I was reading this story.
01:50:41.000The lead singer ended up getting a job as a manager of a theater.
01:50:46.000And this article was very disparaging.
01:50:49.000Like, wow, he was this big famous musician and now what is he doing?
01:51:10.000I'd walk out, and there were people all, there were these gates and security guards, and no one could go anywhere near the doors, and they're always waiting, trying to get autographs, and I'm like, man, look where I am in this building.
01:51:19.000One block from Central Park, There's all of these prominent ABC personalities.
01:51:25.000I was getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
01:51:28.000And then I was like, I can't do what they want me to do, and I don't want to be here.
01:51:32.000Because they were like, our audience is young and progressive, and that's what we're going to do, and that's what we want you to do.
01:51:36.000And so I told the president, we had a meeting, I think we were in Vegas at the time, and I was like, break my contract, I can't do this anymore.
01:51:42.000And the scary thing to me was, I was like, if I break this contract for these reasons, I'm not going to work in New York media ever again.
01:52:38.000And I was just like, this was before Fusion, and I was just like, there's no way I'm going to those companies after everything that happened at Fusion.
01:52:58.000And for the first few months of doing YouTube, I was negative.
01:53:02.000And it cost me a large portion of my savings.
01:53:05.000And then I was like, but I'm gonna find a way to get through this.
01:53:08.000It took me a year to get out of the red and into the black.
01:53:13.000And then once I got into the black, I was down probably tens of thousands of dollars.
01:53:17.000Tim and C, I'm so happy you're sharing this story because so many people in our society today, we live in such an instant gratification society.
01:53:23.000They expect to get on YouTube, be famous immediately, make it.
01:53:27.000They expect to go out on the streets, get that viral clip, get on Tucker Carlson right away.
01:53:30.000And when it doesn't happen, they give up.
01:53:33.000And that's the difference between winners and losers, is that everybody is going to fail at one point or another, but the winners continue to keep pushing forward until they reach their goal.
01:53:41.000So I'm so glad you said that story because, you know, it really shows the reality of this industry of success as a whole.
01:54:56.000So you went so many steps down to try to attain your goal.
01:55:01.000And I got to say this, living off of $37 a week in a pack of Trident gum, you persisted, you continued, and now you're independent and the super uber famous journalist who's getting with Jordan Peterson and everybody.
01:55:13.000And that just shows that you work really hard.
01:55:15.000But on the real side, though, too, you know, I think that's awesome with the calculatedness.
01:55:20.000And I know your eagerness to Tim on this, but I tell people like, Genuinely even now, this is why it's hard for me to comment, like there are compromises I've made to stay on YouTube or to stay on sites that I could be more honest or more truthful or say more that I have thought that the trade-off for having a stable income with my family is not worth it.
01:55:42.000Like just so I can write now on this, you know, on this Live stream call Leah Thomas that the pronoun your live stream.
01:55:48.000I'm not gonna risk your livelihood so that I can be right, right?
01:55:52.000That's difference your livelihood, but I'm also saying I understand that you got to be calculated because I Always talk about this too that I see with the young people.
01:56:01.000This is why Isis goes after the young men Some people think that bravery is just charging the front lines in World War one.
01:56:07.000There's no reason to be cannon fodder There's no reason to just sacrifice your life like where some people were it's to be actually calculated because I promise this to people The idea of, like, when I've spoken to people, it's like, well, if I don't get vaccinated, then I'm going to get fired.
01:56:22.000And I go, you're looking at this wrong.
01:56:24.000You're looking at this like you have two choices.
01:56:26.000The reality is, is that, like, I even asked someone, did you think about moving states?
01:56:31.000Did you think about moving from a for-profit to a non-profit hospital?
01:56:34.000Did you think about moving to a religious institution where the exemptions could work in a religious hospital?
01:56:38.000Have you thought about something like that where it won't work, but you could have a
01:56:41.000religious argument here at this Catholic place?
01:56:43.000And I've asked people, do you know you could change things?
01:56:46.000And also, reminder that you could also, like sometimes you can actually work for a private
01:56:50.000firm which is not medical, be a consultant, be a remote nurse doing Zoom calls and whatnot
01:56:55.000or a Zoom doctor, and you can actually do these kinds of things.
01:57:28.000But that means YouTube's algorithm, or by choice for some reason, we've appeared and been suggested.
01:57:34.000And then I can use that to be like, okay, everybody go to our website, become members, and then we're gonna have conversations that these bigger platforms don't want us to have.
01:57:42.000That way the conversations still happen.
01:57:51.000And truth be told, we've been... It's way safer.
01:57:56.000We're seeing now with what Dan Bongino is doing with Parallel Economy and Rumble, how they're building up alternates, and that's what needs to happen.
01:59:01.000You have to go email, server, internet provider, website hosting.
01:59:06.000Like you go, who owns even the website domain?
01:59:10.000And you're going through this, you're going, Wow.
01:59:12.000The reason why we haven't won this yet is because we need a lot more smart people and a lot more money not going into nonprofits that are doing nothing, but into actually for profits and things that can hire people and make a change.
01:59:21.000And we need to slow our thoughts down in general.
01:59:23.000I think you were saying like the age of instant gratification and Elijah, you were talking about how important it is to be calculating.
01:59:29.000And I think a lot of people when offered a choice A, B, they feel like they have to make the choice and you don't.
01:59:33.000Not only do you not have to answer the way people expect you to, you don't have to answer and you can think about it.
01:59:37.000You don't have to sign the contract when it's handed to you.
02:00:26.000This is where I was like, this is my current state.
02:00:30.000Let's read this one more super chat before we go to the members only.
02:00:32.000We've got Brody Nevis who says, Hey, been a fan of yours and Crowder since 2016.
02:00:37.000I'm 22 and I share your show and his to my family, but they still believe in the same stuff as the left and I want to leave CA.
02:00:44.000What do I do to get out of here and convince my family the left is wrong?
02:00:48.000If you can show your family that Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Jussie Smollett, The Covenant Kids, Russia Gate, Ahmaud Arbery, the list goes on, all of those stories were proven false, And they still believe it?
02:01:01.000I think it's not an issue of... I think the issue is more so they know it's not true, but they don't want to admit it.
02:01:09.000They're not smart enough to realize and they'll keep falling for it.
02:01:13.000I think that's what you're dealing with.
02:01:15.000And if that's the case, you're going to be on your own and you have to figure things out for yourself.
02:01:19.000Yeah, you gotta impress them in the way that they speak the language of.
02:01:22.000Like, when I talk to my mom, I'll be like, we're making world-changing social media technology.
02:02:09.000I just, I feel like it's a question of what are you willing to sacrifice?
02:02:14.000And the more you're willing to sacrifice, the bigger risk you're willing to take, the bigger rewards exist for you.
02:02:18.000And for me, because I was like, honestly, don't care if I sleep outside, that gave me more freedom to find opportunities people wouldn't normally take.
02:02:25.000And if your concern is you want a stable life and you need a stable life, you're going to have a harder time scouting out and finding opportunities.
02:02:33.000But you'll be stable, you know, you'll be safe.
02:03:45.000We are going to go to the members only segment, so if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show if you really do like it.
02:03:50.000in a funny way just to say, hey, A, B, C and D, as you stay here and give tax dollars,
02:04:09.000The members only show which is gonna get very spicy I can already I can already tell and you can follow the show at Timcast IRL basically everywhere except TikTok where we're banned You can follow me at Timcast basically everywhere.
02:04:20.000Elijah, you want to shout anything out?
02:04:22.000Yeah, you know, obviously, if you're wanting to watch a podcast that is pure insanity, go to youtube.com slash slightlyoffensive.
02:05:17.000And I also have my own podcast called Rapid Fire with Savannah Hernandez where I talk about political commentary and my on-the-ground reporting.
02:05:23.000Also, SavSaysOfficial.com, my website.
02:06:39.000I would strongly recommend doing things like saving up money, trying to make sure you're prepared for whatever happens, and then you can kind of push back according to your own personal values.
02:06:47.000You guys may follow me on Twitter and Minds.com at Sour Patch Lids.
02:06:50.000I want to address just one quick super chat from Mike Dorio who says that he's lost access to the website, but he's still being charged.
02:06:58.000There's an issue with PayPal that they can't fix, I suppose, and we are working to fix, but it's a weird time-gated thing where it's like the year anniversary when people signed up, something weird triggers.
