In this week's episode, we discuss the impact of the latest sanctions against Russia, Jill Biden accidentally calling Hillary Clinton the president, and a new documentary about the caravans crossing the southern border into the U.S. from Ukraine.
00:00:14.000Now, they're calling it nuclear deterrence, which is to imply that they will only fire in response.
00:00:20.000But you look at what's going on right now with the Russian economy.
00:00:23.000The ruble dropped around 30 or so percent.
00:00:25.000They kept their stock exchange closed.
00:00:28.000So a lot of people think that Russia's in serious trouble here, but I don't believe that Vladimir Putin would start a war unless he intended to see it through.
00:00:35.000And he likely calculated these responses.
00:00:37.000He had to predict they'd go after the banks.
00:01:25.000We do have some news around basically everything that will, all of this stuff, as well as a funny story of Jill Biden accidentally calling Kamala Harris the president, although I don't know if it's an accident at this point.
00:02:31.000It's about the caravans and illegal migration into the U.S.
00:02:34.000We definitely need to talk about that because I don't know if you heard that the U.S.
00:02:38.000government issued a memo requesting Customs and Border Protection leave the southern border to go to Poland to process refugees from Ukraine.
00:02:45.000And it's like a job anyone can do and there's no reason to take our border guards off to do it, so... Especially when there's not enough there.
00:02:51.000They've given up on trying to protect the border because they've got so many people just working on processing people.
00:02:56.000Or is that the policy of the Biden administration to have no border?
00:03:24.000I release animated cartoons on my YouTube channel every single week, sometimes twice a week.
00:03:28.000We got a funny one coming out this Thursday, so I hope you all will check it out and subscribe, and I am looking forward to this conversation.
00:04:19.000You were, like, focusing on immigration way before I realized the danger, and then I started studying, like, Roman history, the history of the fall of the Roman Empire and stuff, and how basically unfettered immigration is the reason that that fell.
00:04:31.000Any country that just lets other cultures come in and then set up shop and create the government is now that government.
00:04:37.000Yeah, I've never understood the reaction to my conversations about immigration.
00:05:50.000I just think it's funny that we're at this point in time where you have, you know, a group of people of varying political backgrounds are here to do a podcast and have a very serious discussion.
00:06:00.000And it's like, yes, yes, the situation in Ukraine is growing very dire.
00:06:07.000So that culture around YouTube where it's like this exaggerated youthful exuberance is now being, you know, it's a part of war with Russia.
00:07:12.000Well, that's true, but it went viral on Twitter where everyone mocked them.
00:07:16.000Well, let's talk about this first story.
00:07:18.000And we have this from CNN of all outlets.
00:07:20.000I like using CNN when it's something like this.
00:07:22.000White House responds to Russia's decision to put deterrence forces on high alert.
00:07:26.000They say, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to put Russia's deterrence forces, which include nuclear arms and high alert, are part of a wider pattern of unprovoked escalation and manufactured threats from the Kremlin.
00:07:41.000This is really a pattern that we've seen from President Putin through the course of this conflict, which is manufacturing threats that don't exist in order to justify further aggression.
00:07:50.000And the global community and the American people should look at it through that prism.
00:07:54.000Saki told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on this week.
00:07:57.000Well, the news there is that in response to the sanctions, the escalation, and I guess what Putin says is aggressive language towards Russia, they've put all of their forces on high alert, which includes nuclear weapons.
00:08:10.000And then you had this guy on Russian TV who said, what's the point?
00:08:14.000Something like, what's the purpose of the world without Russia in it?
00:08:17.000There's absolutely going to be nukes dropped.
00:10:27.000Let's just say, you know, like we can... Russia's fired a bunch of nukes at the eastern seaboard of the United States, Vancouver and Toronto included, I guess, because, you know, Canada.
00:10:37.000You can't stop it, but you can kill Russian civilians.
00:10:47.000And I think that threat exists in the mind of anyone who's considering launching nukes in the first place.
00:10:51.000But you guys ever hear that story about the Russian submarine dude?
00:10:54.000They got a false alarm that a nuke was fired, and he refused to fire.
00:11:00.000I think that's more indicative of what a person would do.
00:11:02.000Well, there's been studies done on this, too, with just the amount of people in war that go out, whether it be Afghanistan or World War II, and they'll talk about how much they freeze.
00:11:11.000We talked about this with someone with Vietnam.
00:11:13.000They were saying that the soldiers who were drafted would aim up and try not to hit people.
00:11:38.000and so the entire idea was our government wanted to figure out how you could get everyday average troops to be willing
00:11:43.000to fight because Most people in a combat situation if someone is up on top
00:11:47.000of them or they have to kill them in a direct self-defense Scenario will do so
00:11:51.000So in warfare, if the enemy are jumping into your trenches, yes, you'll shoot them more often than not.
00:11:56.000But if they're all the way across the battlefield and you're trying to snipe and pick them off, most soldiers won't pull the trigger.
00:12:03.000And our government kind of tried to figure out ways to encourage troops to do so.
00:12:07.000Didn't video games himself. I'm not sure there's a game called America's Army
00:12:11.000that was basically grooming people to become soldiers. Not that it's a misconception that government. I'm not saying
00:12:16.000it makes you it makes you more violent. But when you're desensitized to entering combat. What I was reading something where they
00:12:24.000said like playing video games helped people overcome their like resistance towards killing someone. I think probably
00:12:30.000with drones and stuff it's a lot easier the further and further like degrees apart.
00:12:34.000It's almost like the trolley question.
00:12:37.000Okay, would you pull the thing to kill one person or two people?
00:12:40.000Alright, would you push someone in front of the train to stop the trolley?
00:12:43.000The closer you get to being the exact thing that kills the person, that's when all those mental blocks start.
00:12:49.000But when they're just green light on a screen, much easier to click a button.
00:12:53.000My favorite trolley meme is the one where it's one track and it's just riddled with people and it says, you can stop the train at the trolley at any time, but it would hurt corporate profits.
00:13:14.000A shockingly low number of people are, are willing to actually engage in this.
00:13:17.000The Russian submarine soldier, his name was Vasily Arkhipov, and it's during the height of the Cold War, Cuban Missile Crisis, and he got, I think there was a miscalculation, they thought the nukes had been fired, he got an order to fire, and he didn't do it.
00:13:30.000Basically prevented World War III, this one guy.
00:14:18.000Also, I just want to pull something up real quick so I can add some clarity to what I was saying earlier.
00:14:23.000The best figures I have right now say that according to the study, it was fewer than 15-20% of soldiers fired their weapon in the first place, and then an even lower number actually killed people.
00:14:33.000I'm so conservative with my estimates.
00:14:34.000Yeah, no, but I also want to say with my number, about 2% actually doing 98% of the killing.
00:14:38.000I'm actually, I'm not seeing that here.
00:14:40.000I imagine most soldiers aren't in combat.
00:15:14.000Maybe not even conspiracy theory is the right word, but there is the theory that Vladimir Putin opposes the Davos Group World Economic Forum, liberal economic order, and all that stuff.
00:15:23.000It's not an issue of NATO, which is proven by the fact that Estonia and Latvia are on the border
00:15:27.000with Russia as well, and they're NATO nations. The issue is that Ukraine is, you know, joining
00:15:32.000the liberal economic order or whatever, and Putin's actually directly criticized this.
00:15:36.000I don't actually think that's the principal reason, though.
00:15:40.000If that was the reason, then you could argue, well, he's got to stop the globalists.
00:16:39.000And he had 12 professors helping him out with the PhD.
00:16:43.00011 of them quit because they said this is too dangerous.
00:16:45.000You shouldn't be allowed to study this topic.
00:16:47.000It's because he partakes in something called strategic empathy, where he really wants to understand the Russian perspective and like, be able to empathize for the purpose of understanding.
00:16:57.000And everyone said, no, this is disgusting.
00:16:58.000How can you have such an illiberal worldview?
00:17:00.000And now he's getting calls from all over the world of people like, what is going on?
00:17:27.000He's capable of... What I mean to say is, he's the kind of person who I believe has the capability and the willpower, to put it... I'm not saying it's a good thing, to press the button and say, I will get what I want.
00:17:40.000Yeah, people are reasonable when they're driven by these temporal things of, you know, money, day-to-day, I just want to stay safe.
00:17:48.000But when you're at that higher level where it's like, even something like revenge, or this is a spiritual battle, then you get people that'll blow themselves up in stadiums for it.
00:17:57.000Yeah, but I think, you know, to elaborate on the profit motive thing, I'm not saying it's like Putin wants money and he's like, where's my money, my oil?
00:18:05.000It's more like getting resources for Russia.
00:18:09.000So, you know, what I see is, we mentioned it 50 billion times, you've got the Qatar-Turkey pipeline, you've got the corrupt energy dealings Joe Biden was doing in Ukraine with, I should say, his son, and then his intervention with the government.
00:18:22.000And Putin's like, look, we support the Russian people selling oil to our customers in Europe.
00:18:29.000The West doesn't like those prices, so they're playing dirty games, like funding or providing resources to rebels in Syria, and then playing dirty games with Burisma.
00:18:38.000Joe Biden's on camera saying, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting the billion dollars.
00:18:42.000Turns out that prosecutor was investigating the founder of Burisma, whereas someone's on the board.
00:18:46.000Conflict of interest, at the very least.
00:18:48.000Putin's like, you're screwing with my ability to generate resources for my country and my people.
00:18:52.000So that's less of an ideological and more of like a looking at, you know, a world leader thing.
00:18:57.000But I wonder if it is more ideological than.
00:18:59.000Well, you know, it's difficult to say.
00:19:03.000I think there's an argument to be made that it isn't ideological, that it is more or less from Russia's standpoint a security issue, whereas from America's standpoint it's an ideological issue.
00:19:12.000So we see this as we would like for Ukraine to become a more liberalized nation, which
00:19:17.000is part of NATO and which is part of the EU.
00:19:21.000And from Putin's perspective, it's as soon as they become a NATO country, the United
00:19:24.000States could put military bases there.
00:19:27.000And it's an entirely different set of concerns from I either want to make more money or I
00:19:33.000And this would be like the last point.
00:19:34.000If they do think that the US are going to build troops up there, and they do think NATO is going to join, then they're like, we have this short window that we have to invade and actually be successful.
00:19:57.000So there was this video on Fox, maybe I should pull it up actually, where this, actually I don't know if anybody wrote about it, I'd have to find it on Twitter.
00:20:05.000Cool, I just remembered my question, so you can do that.
00:20:09.000I didn't know this until recently, but in some polling like 80 to 90 percent of people in Crimea wanted to go back and be a part of Russia.
00:20:16.000And I know people have said like, oh the Russians specifically sent people to live there to try and make it a
00:20:22.000Russian majority and have that happen but then they've got the same thing in
00:20:24.000Donetsk where there are a lot of people that want to be a part of Russia.
00:20:27.000Do you think that they should be allowed to have some sort of vote referendum
00:20:32.000like Quebec did in Canada to join Russia or is that a problem? Okay, I'm gonna...
00:20:39.000But people are saying it's malicious and Russia's specifically sending people there.
00:20:43.000So like let's look at open borders groups.
00:20:45.000If they specifically had a bunch of Mexicans go into California and then said, we want to have a referendum to see if California wants to be a part of Mexico, how would you feel about that?
00:21:25.000The issue with the Donbass region, Donetsk, Luhansk, what some people have told us, and again, I know it's fog of war, propaganda, it's hard to know what's true, is that it was Ukrainian, and then during the Soviet Union, Holodomor, Russification, the eastern regions became predominantly more ethnically Russian as opposed to Ukrainian.
00:21:44.000Now, 30 years on, all of a sudden, it's like, well, there's a lot of Russians, people, you know, speakers here, guess Russia should take it.
00:21:52.000I guess the question is how far back do you want to go?
00:22:09.000If California is allowing people to come in as non-citizens and then, you know, they have kids who then become citizens and within 18 or 20 years they vote for secession, you've got a serious question about whether or not there was an intentional act to come in and take land away from the United States.
00:22:26.000That being said, there's still an important question of if they play by the rules, if they're working within the law, if these people are citizens and they vote to secede and join Mexico, do we respect the wishes of secession?
00:22:39.000This country was founded on a bunch of people being like, we hereby vote.
00:22:43.000We're not part of the British Empire anymore.
00:22:46.000And Britain was like, nah, and they fought over it.
00:22:51.000Both sides will claim their right and whoever has the ability to defend themselves or reconquer the land.
00:22:55.000You might say they have some ethical justification to say, we're going to be part of Mexico now, but realistically, the U.S.
00:23:02.000government's not going to give up their West Coast, all that water access.
00:23:06.000Well, that's why Tim brought warfare into it, too.
00:23:09.000It would be a question of, would Mexico be capable of going to war with the United States military?
00:23:14.000And the answer to that question is almost certainly no, unless there was an ally in another part of the world who wanted to send their troops in to help So if China said, let's destabilize the region and... You are wrong, sir.
00:23:48.000Our artillery is not going to hold down, uh, it's not going to force people to, you know, go to certain buildings or to not go near certain buildings.
00:23:56.000Certainly, you can blow the cities up.
00:23:59.000But what's the, what, then what's the goal there?
00:24:01.000So, if you're trying to conquer or maintain control of a land, blowing it up and wiping it off the map, it's kind of like a, well, we're losing it anyway, let's blanket sweep and just wipe everything out and rebuild later, maybe.
00:24:13.000But you're not going to be able to control the people.
00:24:19.000I mean, firstly, a defensive war is always easier and less expensive to fight than an invasion is.
00:24:25.000However, it would depend on what percentage of California wanted to be a part of Mexico and how many people there would actually be willing to fight alongside the United States government to maintain that territory as part of the U.S.
00:24:38.000I don't think it's just a question of the U.S.
00:24:42.000If there was enough sentiment in California for secession, and I actually think there might, like I said, around a third to 40% of people in each of the five regions of the U.S.
00:24:56.000So the question is, how many people support secession, how many people oppose it, and how many people don't care?
00:25:03.000And if you look at like Democrats to Republicans in California, it's two to one.
00:25:07.000It's like for every two Democrats, it's one Republican.
00:25:09.000And then independents are people who are more likely going to say, I don't care.
00:25:12.000So I kind of think that if it was a Democrat secession, which is what people are actually talking about and what, you know, the Podesta, what the Boston Globe story, they were war gaming out what happens after the 2020 election.
00:25:27.000If Trump won, they were suggesting the West Coast secede.
00:25:30.000It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a left Democrat secession movement.
00:25:33.000Whether or not the United States can, can stop it from happening.
00:25:37.000I'm not entirely convinced they could, you know, we, we can talk about, you know, what did Putin say, or I'm sorry, what did Biden say?
00:25:42.000If you want to go up against us, you need nuclear weapons.
00:25:45.000And it's like, are you talking about bombing like civilians populations with nuclear bombs?
00:26:41.000No, I literally just drove to one random part on the other side of a country club in McAllen, Texas, stayed there one morning at 4 a.m., got out of my car, and there were traffickers walking by.
00:26:53.000And they're like, don't film us, don't film us.
00:26:54.000And I'm like, holy, you can just drive anywhere across the border and see people making a little journey.
00:27:14.000So all of these human traffickers and gang members were just going to this country club on the side of McAllen, Texas.
00:27:19.000That's the thing about a 30 mile long wall.
00:27:21.000I guess not, because they go around 4 a.m.
00:27:24.000They say there's shift switches at that time with the border guards, and they're just kind of lazy and a little more lethargic, so they'll just go across at 4 a.m., go through the night.
00:27:33.000This is why mentality, culture, psychology is so important for a war effort.
00:27:39.000If the United States has a large quantity of people who don't care about their borders, And even the people employed to guard the borders don't care about the borders?
00:27:49.000And then you, I mean, so, so, you know, we got into talking about this because of the issue of the eastern region of Ukraine, where you have people voting to, you know, be annexed by Russia or to cede or whatever.
00:28:00.000In Crimea, that's basically how Russia gained control of it.
00:28:03.000They were like, oh, we had a referendum and everybody voted.
00:28:06.000There was a poll from several years ago, like well before the annexation, and it found that it was the most pro-Russia portion of Ukraine.
00:28:15.000That they basically were like, we're Russia, we're not Ukraine, but we're legally Ukraine.
00:28:19.000So I can believe that a lot of people there want to be part of Russia.
00:28:22.000I don't know if I believe the referendum was legit.
00:28:29.000We're talking about guns with Ukrainian citizens.
00:28:33.000The question I have, I guess, is, If these liberal types, not leftists, leftists like guns, these liberal types are cheering, like Occupy Democrats cheered, for the distribution of 18,000, I think it was, select-fire Kalashnikovs, full-auto rifles.
00:28:51.000You said, like, why don't you want that for us?
00:28:52.000And I'm like, it's an interesting question.
00:28:54.000Why do they want Ukraine's borders protected and the people armed and they want the people of the United States disarmed and our borders porous and weak?
00:29:12.000Sorry, I'll let you finish that and then I'll go to my article.
00:29:15.000It seems like the liberal people that are acting is a fractal behavior of the liberal economic order which has literally gone around the world setting up military bases in disarming countries like Japan after World War II, arguably justified, I don't know.
00:29:27.000But the fact that they would be like, stand down, get rid of your nukes, Ukraine.
00:29:31.000Like, that's basically what these liberal people are trying to do to American citizens.
00:30:15.000But if you have a villain that's, you know...
00:30:17.000I mean, you could maybe do this 10 years ago, but a Muslim or something, people will lose their mind.
00:30:22.000There was an article in the Globe and Mail today that said, Russians in the sports world are doing PR for Putin's war machine.
00:30:28.000And they're talking about Alex Ovechkin, hockey player.
00:30:34.000And I'm sure, did you guys see the tennis player that wrote no war on the camera?
00:30:37.000So in this article they're saying all of that is pro-Russia, we need to basically, these athletes are all pro-Putin because they just said no war, they didn't say we hate Putin.
00:30:46.000And it's like a full-on like hardcore kind of anti-Russian article and they're talking about Russians that are saying they don't want a war and saying no.
00:32:08.000People were like, there should be more money in there already.
00:32:09.000He has a lot of good context because that was some good info, apparently.
00:32:12.000But I also, if you look at like the way the world inflation is going, you can kind of predict a conflict on the horizon back a couple of years ago.
00:33:12.000So I got to say, man, it just feels like everything's kind of falling apart.
00:33:15.000I was thinking about how, um, you said culture is politics downstream from culture.
00:33:20.000And I was like, yeah, I really, I want to help the world.
00:33:22.000If I was trying to get everyone fresh water and internet, if I do that for someone that's the enemy of someone else, that someone else is going to be really mad at me.
00:34:32.000If you even try to understand the Eastern perspective, then you're pro-Putin, you're pro-China.
00:34:37.000It also scares me, and I wanted to kind of talk about this quickly if you guys are willing to, but when we talk about making political decisions in the West it's on a four-year cycle.
00:35:30.000Let's say you're in a car, and you're driving straight towards the edge of a cliff, and there's one guy in charge, and every single time someone screams and yells, we're headed for the cliff, he says, shut up, I'm driving.
00:36:15.000And then what happens is centralized power limits your ability to see what's going on.
00:36:20.000A decentralized network of humans who are running something can come up with way more solutions, and then eventually the meritocratic solution finds its way to the top.
00:36:29.000With authoritarianism, you got one really smart person, you know, a philosopher king or a despot, either way, they can say, don't do this, it will be bad for us.
00:36:40.000But they also are just one person, not the smartest person in the world, and they're not able to see everything, and they'll miss.
00:36:46.000You know, you put it this way, 99 problems, they find one, they solve it very quickly, it's efficient, in the long run they miss out on all the other ones.
00:36:54.000So I think decentralization is the safest path forward.
00:36:56.000But Vladimir Putin, China, they're able to move.
00:36:58.000But is it the safest when you are competing against people that can move quickly?
00:37:03.000Because I think it's the safest on a worldwide scale, but not when you have competitors that
00:37:23.000You just have to have a population that is virtuous and intelligent enough to want to
00:37:27.000make decisions that will be better for the future.
00:37:30.000So as it happens, our culture is really bad at cultivating virtue and encouraging people to move in a direction where they will make sacrifices today for a better future tomorrow.
00:37:41.000If we were better at doing that we wouldn't need some kind of insane authoritarian system for people to make decisions that would actually be good for their children.
00:37:48.000So a really good point is when you have a unified culture You could theoretically have a despot, but no one cares because they all agree with the direction the culture is going in.
00:38:00.000If the people of Russia are all like, we like what Putin is doing, it's part of our beliefs and our ideology, are they really going to be upset?
00:38:07.000Obviously, there are people protesting.
00:38:09.000I'm saying if everybody in China agrees with Chinese communism and are willing to make sacrifices for the greater culture, then Well, I think part of the problem is, and so for the United States, even though we've always had these four-year election cycles for the presidency, we were able to progress towards goals that took us quite a long time.
00:38:27.000And that was because, for the most part, we were on the same page culturally.
00:38:30.000A different political party Taking power from the political party that was just in power for 48 years didn't really mean the country was going to move in a radically different direction.
00:38:40.000So you could achieve things that would take decades and decades to achieve because no matter who you voted for, they'd be interested in that.
00:38:47.000Now the difference between the left is so massive and we...
00:38:51.000Completely disagree on what's good for the country, and so that does mean every single time power changes hands, our country moves in a completely different direction, and we can never make any real progress.
00:39:09.000I mean, if you're for open borders, if you're for non-citizens voting, if you oppose the Constitution, you're literally not for this country.
00:39:31.000I have- if you're of the opinion that America sucks, and the woke are, and it should be dissolved or destroyed or overturned or dramatically altered or there should be a revolution, fine.
00:39:42.000Just come out and be like, we hate this place, and I'll be like, alright.
00:39:46.000Like, just be honest with me about it.
00:39:48.000And that's the thing, a lot of them do, and then we're still willing to engage in conversation with them about what direction the country should move in.
00:39:55.000Well, I mean, like, the Democrats, like, the actual political class, and the neocons, of course.
00:39:59.000I don't think it's just the Democrats and the neocons, though.
00:40:02.000It's been, like, a fascinating trend to watch some of the people that hate this country the most be right-wing nationalists.
00:40:08.000Have you not seen the memes where people are like, hey, you're a fascist, you're a bigot, you're a white male, we hate you, and then, hey man, come and go to war with Russia with us, and they're like, no.
00:40:24.000John Doyle did a whole post on it and he's like, you know, we're in a regime that is conquered by a globalist liberal power.
00:40:34.000It's crazy to see, you know, nationalists being super against America.
00:40:37.000Well, so, interestingly, Stephen Marsh, we had him on the show, he wrote the book The Next Civil War, and he summarized it in a way I hadn't heard someone summarize it, and I think he nailed it.
00:40:45.000He said, within the United States, there's a multicultural democracy and a constitutional republic, and they can't coexist.
00:41:04.000They've been, you know, the Democratic establishment's been smuggling migrant children, illegal immigrant children across the country on planes, on military planes.
00:42:35.000And I'm not going to be all that surprised if you're actually rooting for their downfall instead of trying to make them better, because everything you say about them is critical.
00:42:40.000Criticizing with good faith is different than criticizing with trying to destroy someone.
00:42:45.000The issue is there are a lot of conservatives, there are a lot of moderates, and libertarians who think that the left is being honest when they say these things.
00:42:53.000Like, you know, so again, to throw it back to the conversation we had with Stephen Marsh, I said, you know, in California they tried repealing their civil rights legislation or provision from their constitution.
00:43:04.000You know, they actually are in favor of segregation.
00:43:06.000He goes, yeah, well, they're saying so are you.
00:43:41.000Yeah, I think it's the downfall of liberalism right now.
00:43:43.000I mean, you've had communism failed, fascism failed, liberalism went forward and was successful, but it's something that it may last longer, but it's still coming to the end of its life.
00:43:58.000So liberalism is failing, but not as an ideology unto itself.
00:44:04.000Communism fails because communism is psychotic and doesn't work.
00:44:07.000Liberalism failed because liberalism allows the malignancy to come within it.
00:44:13.000But is it the classical liberalism was working and they changed the definition of the word liberalism, just reused it for this new military?
00:44:41.000When we keep saying things like, look, I understand this far leftist is saying crazy things, but I have to respect their right to free speech.
00:44:52.000So we all keep playing fair and saying, we have principles, so we want to uphold them.
00:44:56.000And they say, thank you for doing that.
00:44:59.000But a good example of how that can also work in your favor in that situation, like Majid Nawaz was in prison for basically in Egypt for terrorism.
00:45:54.000And the interesting thing is there's like some articles that have kind of framed it as though she was saying, I can't remember if it was a national post, they were like, she was saying the invasion would precipitate a new world order or something.
00:46:03.000No, she's saying she's fighting for it.
00:46:05.000But is she referring to it in the proper noun sense of what the New World Order is?
00:46:09.000Or is she using this phrase as a buzz phrase she heard somewhere?
00:46:13.000I mean it's obviously it's just even if it is just a buzz phrase and she doesn't understand a terrible language especially when you've already got so many people that are like oh look at George Soros loves this this is like NATO this is this country is an experimental country created to create American bases and NATO and spread liberal ideology like terrible language when you've already got people talking about all of that.
00:46:36.000It is worth simply talking about the fact that the Western ideology, even though it's morphed into something else now, what some people would call the New World Order, some people would call this amalgamation of larger institutions, it is constantly wanting to spread itself to other countries.
00:46:53.000And Ukraine is one of those countries.
00:46:54.000And if it's just Western values that it has, that's great.
00:46:57.000But if it is getting this mind worm of all the other things that is causing America to You know, decay in a lot of ways, then that's a problem, isn't it?
00:47:07.000I don't know about, you know, the grand conspiracy of the New World Order.
00:47:11.000I know it's been said by several world leaders.
00:47:27.000And people can call it the deep state and they can mean it as lizard people or they can just mean it as I've asked Alex Jones, what's the difference between the deep state and the shadow government?
00:47:33.000And he was like, the deep state, basically the administrative state, the people that get hired and stay there for 40 years and they're not elected, but they're on the floor of Congress.
00:47:40.000But then the shadow government is like a secretive kind of global governance that's in place in case of nuclear war, that's going to take control.
00:47:47.000So here's the issue I take with this whole like idea of the new world order is there's a weird overlap between what China is doing and people saying like, you know, Biden is a puppet of Xi and they want to bring Chinese style social credit systems here.
00:48:00.000But then when it comes to the Russian invasion, China's on the side of Russia and opposed to the U.S.
00:48:11.000You mentioned earlier, Switzerland defied its neutrality.
00:48:13.000Switzerland is the home of the Bank of International Settlements, which is the central bank of central banks.
00:48:18.000And now it's fighting on the side of... against Russia, or whatever side this is.
00:48:23.000Here's what I mean, like, if there was a... Which is it?
00:48:26.000Are we, is China's influence expanding around the world?
00:48:30.000And now we're, you know, Democrats went and met with China and, you know, these communist party members and said, wow, look at the speed at which you can build a highway.
00:48:37.000This is one of the stories we've heard.
00:48:38.000They went and they're like, how do we do this?
00:48:40.000And now you've got this happening in the West.
00:48:42.000Or is it the liberal economic order that wants to unify United States, Western nations through NATO or whatever, the European Union?
00:48:52.000Right, to a certain degree, there can be some issues.
00:48:54.000That's why I'm like, it needs to be properly defined what it is.
00:48:57.000It's China, or is the grand conspiracy that Russia's invasion was all part of the conspiracy for the new... How many levels of underwater backgammon are we playing?
00:49:50.000In this mind war that we are in, fifth generational warfare, that's what they want to happen is for people to accidentally start saying we should do what that other, what they want them, what they want.
00:50:06.000Even watching this war live, we always talked about what would it be like if we had Instagram and Twitter and everything when World War II was happening.
00:50:13.000And now we've got it, and all we're getting is a ton of fake information.
00:50:17.000So we've got the the ghost of Kiev, who was actually, it was like a video game simulation video that went viral.
00:50:24.000and then um obviously you had the footage of or the recording of the 13 people that were allegedly killed on snake island by the russian government and like awful but then the russian i saw rt published an article saying no we actually took them captive here's a video of that and i'm like oh my gosh there's so much different information being put out here what are you even yeah look at this hold on hold on The video showing Ukrainian fighter pilot shooting down a Russian plane, the Ghost of Kiev clip is from a video game, not a video of fighting in Ukraine.
00:50:59.000And there were even left-wing articles.
00:51:02.000Actually, I won't say left-wing, because I don't want to... I don't like portraying it as left-wing versus right with Russia versus Ukraine, because Ukraine is actually very nationalist.
00:51:10.000There are a lot of right-wingers, a lot of people that support... The majority of people are supporting Ukraine, obviously.
00:51:18.000Yeah, there were progressive articles saying actually it's good as long as it's positive misinformation and the ghost of Kiev is misinformation that is boosting morale.
00:51:27.000And I can see how there's an argument for that, but also like...
00:51:32.000Yeah, I think the truth will set you free and we should have honest information and assessments and understanding and people should be motivated by that.
00:51:40.000The problem is you've got, you know, I think within the parent factions, you can call it the multicultural democracy versus constitutional republic, one side favors truth and discussion and pragmatism and one side favors control.
00:52:01.000And the Constitutional Republic is, make your argument, state your case.
00:52:06.000I think it's like the truth about what though, because I understand why in the truth, but not only are you get to choose how you want to demand what you want to demand, but you also have to decide what it is that you're, what it is that you're going to demand about.
00:53:50.000I mean, don't trust anyone who says that they're willing to allow misinformation to spread if it helps their agenda get Well, but because at bottom what they're saying is, I'm not sure if any of what I'm about to tell you for my position is actually true, but I do want you to believe it.
00:54:03.000See, Winston Churchill used to tell the British that they were going to win the war, but he didn't know.
00:54:14.000There's a big difference between saying, Ian, if you give me $10, then I'll go save a whale and then take your 10 bucks and go buy a beer with it.
00:54:21.000There's a difference of lying and just creating propaganda.
00:54:23.000And me saying, give me the $10, I will save these whales, and then I try and fail.
00:55:27.000Like you said, if there's a child who's dying and no good is served by making the child suffer by freaking him out, then maybe you know the kid's got an hour to live and you're like, don't worry, everything's gonna be fine, your parents are here, everything's great, and then they pass away.
00:55:42.000And it's calm and peaceful and they're not scared.
00:55:44.000So like, can that be used on a mass scale, though, like you were saying with Winston Churchill, like just propaganda, even, even like, you know, they use dehumanization of the other forces, because they'd have that problem with people not pulling the trigger if they think of, oh, if you went out and you're like telling the truth, these people are just like you.
00:55:59.000If you sat down and had a chocolate bar with them, you could talk for hours and have a beer and they're just like you.
00:56:04.000Who's going to pull the trigger in that war?
00:56:08.000Oh yeah, you've got to use propaganda.
00:56:10.000I think getting back to sort of the ethical bedrock here of whether it's ever okay to lie and looking at this example of a child who's dying, I think there's also an argument to be made that you can comfort the child without lying to them.
00:56:21.000You don't have to literally say you are going to die.
00:56:24.000Or even in that instance, for example, if you come from a religious household, you actually believe your child is going to go to heaven and be with Jesus.
00:56:29.000You tell them that you're going to go to heaven and be with Jesus.
00:56:32.000It doesn't require that you lie to them necessarily.
00:56:34.000And so I would say, when it comes to dealing with people on a mass scale, if you're lying, you are doing something wrong.
00:56:43.000Yeah, I mean look- And I understand that's a controversial position because there are a lot of white lies that people accept that you can't tell.
00:56:48.000Fundamentally, I believe that lying is never okay for any reason.
00:56:53.000Let's say you're going into war, you know for a fact you're gonna win, and you stand in front of all the troops and be like, we're gonna win.
00:56:59.000And everyone cheers, and then you win.
00:57:17.000If you know for a fact you're going to lose, and there's limited purpose served, and you're just sending people to die, wrong.
00:57:24.000No, but there are times where they knew they were gonna lose, and they said, we're gonna stay and we're gonna win, and then lightning strikes the enemy camp, and stuff like that has happened.
00:57:31.000Well, it's true that you don't know anything for sure, but I think there's a really important point to be made here, which is that you get into an interesting ethical question when you ask, is it lying to say something as if you know it for sure when you don't?
00:57:48.000I think that's a lot more complicated.
00:57:50.000I would argue That telling your soldiers you are going to win when there's a chance that you're not going to win could actually negatively affect your chances.
00:58:13.000I think that people perform better when they think they're going to win.
00:58:18.000Well, people vote for the candidate they think is going to win just because they think they're going to win.
00:58:21.000But like, wouldn't there, okay, so you look at like the Gallipoli campaign, showing up on those beaches and just seeing everyone slaughtered around you and being told like, you know, you're going to win, you're going to win this war.
00:58:31.000And then wouldn't that like rush doubts through your head?
01:00:37.000The manipulation I think with the Covington kids really ended up being very detrimental to the media organizations.
01:00:42.000But if your goal is just to maximize your individual profits, you don't care how much damage you're causing to the system or the country or the people.
01:01:04.000No, I just had a thought that was like, you know, I was thinking about your point.
01:01:07.000You're like, people who lie will eventually lose.
01:01:09.000And I'm like, maybe the reason that the lies are necessary is because we've had a cultural and moral decay, whereas the lies wouldn't be necessary without that, because you could just tell someone, yeah, you know what, you might die.
01:02:24.000You're in South America and you get pulled over a slip of 50 bucks and you're on your way, right?
01:02:27.000South African driver's license, it's just like... Is that what it's called?
01:02:31.000They call it a driver's license in any country you go to where you can do that.
01:02:33.000But in the United States, you can't do that.
01:02:35.000You try bribing a cop, no one would even try because they know the cops are probably going to be like, you can't afford me and I'm not risking... I got a body camera, it's never going to happen.
01:02:43.000But there is a certain degree of corruption that we're starting to tolerate, and that is complete self-interest.
01:02:54.000If I give you cash versus if you overlook a serious federal crime by your government because you like the money you're being given by them.
01:03:03.000Yeah, I think we've just got better PR than a lot of the rest of the world.
01:03:06.000Yeah, American propaganda is the best in the world, for sure.
01:03:09.000Let me tell you about where this country's at.
01:04:08.000And so, uh, I believe, you know, I said this before that I think banning Russia from SWIFT would be a huge mistake because you're effectively escalating the conflict the most extreme way possible.
01:04:18.000Russia's now got no ties to these other countries or financial institutions, so if they nuke you, it won't affect them because you're now severed.
01:04:26.000Well, Barron's, excellent name by the way, is saying you can benefit by Well, they're not saying you could they're saying 10 stocks that could benefit and they go on to list a bunch of companies Like hey, you know, you know what they're saying They're basically telling people without telling them directly buy these stocks war is good for profits Always a way to make money in the markets, I suppose
01:04:47.000And here I am trying to figure out what stocks they're telling me to buy.
01:06:11.000Rip it off, but rip it with the hair, not against the hair.
01:06:14.000Have you seen that meme where it's like, in the event of a nuclear strike, lay down, face towards the blast, put your hands on your head, that way the blast hits your head sooner and you'll die faster?
01:06:43.000It's like a half mile maybe, which is massive.
01:06:46.000There was this thing I think the New York Times did where they showed an overlay of different nuclear bombs and how it would affect Manhattan.
01:06:51.000And it's like, yeah, from river to river, Manhattan is hit.
01:06:54.000So if you're in Jersey City and Manning gets hit by a nuke, you're not in the immediate blast or radiation zone, but you're going to get hit by the shockwave.
01:07:02.000So you duck and cover because glass and shards are going to go flying.
01:08:04.000But I'll say, since all of this stuff has been happening and getting crazier, I've certainly bought stuff that I think is going to help me.
01:08:12.000I've bought, you know, we've got bug out kits, we've gotten emergency food.
01:08:15.000That's just like, I would like to survive if bad stuff happens.
01:08:24.000So, as soon as they were talking about banning Russia from SWIFT, I was like, I better buy more Bitcoin.
01:08:29.000When I learned about... Well, so real quick, because if Russia's kicked off of SWIFT, they're gonna have to replace their international transactions with some kind of infrastructure, and Bitcoin is essentially free infrastructure.
01:08:41.000They still have to build some Russian-specific hubs and stuff.
01:08:44.000So then I thought, why would they use anything but Bitcoin if they've already got a bunch, if it already exists, and it's already connected internationally?
01:08:51.000You're effectively telling them to go on this decentralized shadow network instead of the government-controlled one?
01:08:55.000They're gonna be like, fine, I thought Bitcoin's gonna skyrocket because of this.
01:08:59.000But more importantly, I don't want to be holding US dollars.
01:09:02.000Let me just tell you, man, that beer you got there?
01:09:24.000We've got the pandemic, we've got the Russophobia of the Cold War, but now we've got to get the economic crash.
01:09:31.000The 80s gas shortage and hyperinflation.
01:09:32.000We've got to get the hyperinflation, the wheelbarrows of cash.
01:09:35.000When I was, it was 2006, 7, 8, when I first learned about the military economic order, basically, I was like, well, I can't profit off this in good conscience.
01:09:45.000Lived in abject, almost, not abject poverty, but pretty close to like living in my car kind of poverty, because I just did not want to profit off the system.
01:09:51.000But it was to the point where I was destroying myself.
01:09:53.000Like, I couldn't participate and help the system.
01:09:54.000And I realized, if you want to untangle a ball of yarn, first you need to get a hold of the ball of yarn.
01:09:59.000I need to be rich to fix this system from the inside.
01:10:03.000So I am profiting off this unethical treatment of our slaves in Uyghur China and things like that.
01:10:35.000So people were saying it was really funny.
01:10:36.000They were like, Tim, you did a video ragging on Michael Bloomberg and a Bloomberg ad appeared.
01:10:40.000And I was like, I would like to thank Michael Bloomberg for sponsoring a video where I rag on him for 20 minutes.
01:10:45.000We did a cartoon about this when the Bloomberg advertisements were everywhere, just ripping on the Bloomberg advertisements, if y'all want to check that out.
01:10:51.000And people were commenting like, oh, I got a Bloomberg advertisement for this.
01:11:52.000He'll literally call Jews oven dodgers and you'll get plenty of articles from mainstream media that are like, Mel Gibson on a fancy vacation at this show, at that show.
01:12:03.000But a YouTuber will say one off-color word like They'll say, redart once or something, and that'll get a whole article in all these different outlets.
01:12:11.000They'll only be referred to as extremist, right-wing, this, that, because they know they can get away with it, because Mel Gibson can afford massive amounts of lawyers and representative, whereas YouTubers don't really have that role.
01:12:22.000I think, I think we've got, um, with Kyle Rittenhouse's, you know, he's gonna do those.
01:12:26.000Yeah, but he's got, he's gonna be bankrolled.
01:12:28.000No, no, no, for sure, for sure, but I'm saying him and Project Veritas, I think, are gonna help change that game.
01:12:32.000But there's still, they've hit that threshold of the amount of money you have to have to be able to fight back against the elites.
01:12:41.000Because if you are just small, if you're someone, I mean, Tommy Robinson had money, but you can just send someone to jail.
01:12:48.000If they know you're threatening, the idea is to change the system without them realizing that it's, like Uber appeared and it was a threat to the taxi system, but they didn't realize it until Uber was prevalent.
01:12:58.000I just think people got to see Wikipedia.
01:13:00.000I would love to do that, but every lawyer has said not possible.
01:13:04.000Yeah, we talked about this a little bit before the show because I said this to James O'Keefe as well.
01:13:09.000I said, sue Wikipedia, the organization, directly.
01:13:12.000And the issue everyone says is, oh, but it's user-generated content.
01:13:16.000Well, then why does every lawyer tell me that it's not possible?
01:13:18.000Because they haven't gone to the website and looked at it.
01:13:20.000If there is a lawyer watching this that can sue Wikipedia with me, send me an email.
01:13:24.000So you guys are saying before the show, you're saying on Wikipedia, you go to the Wikipedia article, and then there's a byline, and the byline says, from Wikipedia.
01:13:32.000So they're basically claiming they are the author of this story.
01:13:35.000Yeah, so we have this story from Wikipedia.
01:13:47.000I'm not alt-right, and I'm not a white nationalist, but they... And you know, in an article with a living person, you have to, at least after this, put someone's rejection of a label, and they just won't even do that, and that's in their own, like, terms of, you know, how the website should function.
01:14:07.000You can see they've got weird, interesting, the sources here for alt-right, and it's an A and a B. Oh, and you're not supposed to use opinion pieces for, like, hardcore claims.
01:14:18.000That could hurt someone's reputation, but they do it anyways.
01:14:22.000They've actually rejected a bunch of op-eds that were too over-the-top.
01:14:25.000Bro, I don't know how you got away with that.
01:14:27.000Because he knows Wikipedia can be sued, Lauren?
01:14:30.000Because I keep... Well, so with the articles about me, there was one... This is really interesting.
01:14:36.000It said, Tim Pool has donated to multiple Republicans.
01:14:40.000And then someone in the talk section said, if you actually search federal records, Tim Pool has donated to more Democrats than Republicans.
01:14:47.000Sure, you can say he's donated to- because it's like- I think it's like Rand Paul.
01:14:50.000But it's about what's left out of the story that matters.
01:14:52.000Exactly, and so- but then the editors were like, I don't think this is an accurate piece if they're omitting something like this, and so they rejected it outright.
01:14:58.000Yeah, I always look at this and they could- you know, I would consider myself a documentary filmmaker.
01:15:02.000You wouldn't even know I made documentaries if you read my Wikipedia page, and that's the- what I've gotten the most views for is my films that I've made, and you wouldn't even know reading this page.
01:15:10.000Well, so here's the point we were bringing up with lawsuits.
01:15:14.000It says on wikipedia.org, Lauren Southern from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
01:15:21.000So, you know, there's some serious questions that need to be answered by many different courts from many different countries.
01:15:26.000It may be that I'm wrong and the court decides that if a media outlet includes a byline of their own corporate name, But commenters provided the information for the formation of that article.
01:16:58.000So when we had James here, I mentioned this, and he was like, yeah, but, you know, Section 230, and I'm like, yo, the byline on this Wikipedia article is Wikipedia.
01:17:07.000Imagine at TimCast.com, I tell people, hey, if you comment, we'll take all your comments and then post it as a legitimate news article.
01:17:13.000Could you imagine if it said, you know, TimCast.com slash article byline, Tim Pool, and then it said, you know, a political, high-profile political individual took action, you know, did something that was clearly false, like, you know, uh, Nancy Pelosi punches baby in face.
01:17:39.000Because it says from Wikipedia, not by Wikipedia.
01:17:42.000And then it'll tell you these specific editors who put it.
01:17:45.000I'd love a judge to answer that question.
01:17:46.000Because if a judge says, well, you know, that doesn't really count, then I'll be like, then I would love a judge to explain how you can have an article, it says article on the article, with a headline, Lauren Southern, with a byline below it, and now the organization that published it is exempt.
01:18:50.000I would have no idea how to edit your page as a member of the public.
01:18:53.000Okay, so here's another, this is a whole long conspiracy world that I'm gonna get into.
01:18:57.000There's an editor on my page, it seems like Gray something, and he all day every day is sitting there editing like Michael Malice's page, Jack Pasovic's page, Cernovich, all of these big right-wing figures.
01:19:10.000I swear he's being paid by some sort of organization to do this.
01:19:14.000Like, I genuinely believe there are people being paid to edit Wikipedia articles.
01:19:31.000Yeah, I tried to change Hillary Clinton's Wikipedia after the emails dropped and talked about Sidney Blumenthal and Osprey Global Solutions and within like 30 seconds it was removed.
01:19:39.000Within like six seconds it was removed.
01:19:40.000And they're just sitting there monitoring it because they're getting paid to do this.
01:19:42.000And you're right, they've done reputation firms where they'll create fake articles and put the astroturf them on Google.
01:20:08.000We will get placement in several medium-tier blogs of stories, and then we know how to work SEO to make sure they appear on the top of Google and then make them more prominent.
01:20:21.000Then we'll go in and we'll have our employees argue on Wikipedia against the inclusion of defamatory content.
01:20:28.000Now, of course, These guys didn't say to me, like, we're gonna lie and cheat and smear people to ruin their lives.
01:20:41.000Now, it may be the people I know actually are, you know, doing the right thing.
01:20:45.000But there are people who do the wrong thing.
01:20:46.000Yeah, that's what I was gonna say is what's scary is that obviously can be used in the reverse.
01:20:51.000The media are writing accurate articles about you and you're having... the wealthy can pay... I did a video on this called Sainthood for Sale.
01:20:59.000You can literally pay for your reputation and if you can't afford your reputation... if you're a 19 year old kid or even a high schooler that just gets slandered in a local paper as a racist and you don't have anything else online about you and that's the first thing that comes up, Your job options are limited in the future.
01:21:14.000You're screwed over and you're not gonna have money for a lawyer.
01:21:16.000You're not even gonna know the first thing what to do.
01:21:19.000Whereas if you're extremely wealthy, you can buy sainthood.
01:21:23.000I think actually there's something interesting here with your Wikipedia.
01:21:28.000There's a question over, I think the question of whether you can sue them has to do with whether
01:21:33.000or not they're making opinion statements. But I think if Wikipedia actually says something
01:21:39.000happened to you that isn't true, I think it's clear cut lawsuit for Wikipedia.
01:22:01.000Well, so there's an interesting thing here that Wikipedia might win the suit on the question of malice and be like, We didn't know this person was doing this.
01:22:25.000And then you have to pay all throughout the years for that.
01:22:28.000Do you think people... Oh, just sue them.
01:22:30.000No, the media can get away with so much fake nonsense.
01:22:33.000Real quick though, Lauren, I'm pretty sure if you started a GiveSendGo to just hire lawyers and do these suits, I'm pretty sure you'd make easily as much.
01:23:14.000People know you well enough, they like you enough, that if you said, this is defamatory, slanderous, not only is it to, I mean, damages might be a challenge in a lawsuit.
01:23:25.000What damages have you incurred due to them calling you a white nationalist?
01:23:28.000There could maybe be an argument for, you know, familial, emotional, I don't know, I'm not a lawyer.
01:26:41.000I didn't, and he, the cop walks in, looks around, and I'm like, what is going on?
01:26:44.000Luke was here, and he just keeps talking, like, then he watches the cop leave.
01:26:48.000So then, once I figured out what had happened, and I got the message saying, like, we were swatted, I was like, okay, then I got up and ran out and said, what happened?
01:27:53.000Whoever made that phone call is a terrorist, is a domestic terrorist.
01:27:55.000And they might not be American, but they're a terrorist.
01:27:57.000I didn't, I didn't, you know, so I didn't want to bring it up that it happened, you know, so like Lydia's, like, messaging me and I'm just like, I'm just gonna... I was wondering what you two were on about.
01:28:28.000And I'll tell you what really bothered me about the first time it happened was when they came here, they said it was exigent circumstances.
01:28:35.000They have a right to enter the property.
01:28:37.000But they also said on the radio, we think this is a swatting because it's a political podcast, which means they outright lost exigent circumstances right away by thinking that.
01:28:47.000They have to believe that there is something happening.
01:28:49.000They can violate our Fourth Amendment rights.
01:28:53.000Like, I can respect them coming and rushing into danger and all that stuff and being like, but if they genuinely think it's a swatting, like, why are you here, dude?
01:30:29.000To be honest, if he walked in and you had the sword, he'd probably be like, nice sword and look around to make sure no one's getting hurt and then walk out.
01:31:18.000That's why I was like, I didn't want to say anything because if they don't come up, I'm like, we're just not going to bring it up if it happens.
01:31:22.000But I was told they would be coming up, I guess.
01:31:27.000Well, if the door opens and cops walk in, then we'll... We will have a good picture.
01:31:30.000But, uh, we'll, uh, we'll do, uh, super chats, then.
01:31:33.000So we'll take your audience questions, smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, go over to TimCast.com, become a member.
01:31:39.000We're gonna have that members-only segment coming up for you around 11 or so PM.
01:33:12.000You know, I normally wouldn't think it's a big deal either, but, you know, I didn't think that there were actually going to be boots on the ground in Ukraine.
01:33:18.000So now I'm like, I don't trust anything, I think.
01:33:21.000Like two days before it happened, we had, you know, we had Steve Rene on and he's, you know, he spent time in Belarus.
01:33:27.000He's an intelligence guy and he was Army, right?
01:34:03.000intelligence had some good sources, just... There was so much, there were, like, The Sun published there's going to be an invasion at 3 a.m.
01:34:13.000And that's what really brought my doubts in because there's been so, it's like the boy who cried wolf and you can see articles for the last 10 years, invasion, invasion, invasion.
01:34:20.000But the problem with the story, the boy who cried wolf, is there actually was a wolf eventually.
01:34:44.000Somebody's sitting there, listening to Alex Jones back in October, and Alex is like, listen people, you know, there's gonna be a big war in February, like World War I, World War II, that kind of stuff.
01:34:54.000And the guy goes, I'm gonna buy a bunch of Bitcoin.
01:35:19.000I just gotta say, look, the media can rag on Alex all day and night, and he said some crazy stuff, like on Joe Rogan's show about cell towers and human-animal hybrids and other weird stuff.
01:36:08.000The clip everyone's posting is just a short clip where he's like, war in February, but he actually breaks down what he thinks is going to happen.
01:36:14.000And he's like, I think he said it wasn't an exact prediction.
01:36:17.000You know, if you get the full context, you'll see that it's just like a half prediction that he got.
01:36:22.000You know what I mean? But we made the jar downstairs that says Alex Jones was right jar.
01:37:22.000Ian, I won't let you peer pressure me into this.
01:37:27.000So, the joke we have for the vlog is that we're gonna have it be that TimCast is completely funded based off voiceover royalties from Freedom Tunes.
01:37:58.000Storm says, What stories are we missing out due to this conflict?
01:38:01.000I'm not saying a conflict was started to cover it up, just stuff can't, but, to cover up stuff, but you can't let a good crisis go to waste.
01:38:30.000Oh, I was at the Capitol today, and they had built up all of these fences and barriers because everyone wanted to go in and hug Joe Biden so badly.
01:39:35.000And then the scary thing is like, what if Jordan Peterson promised to do an online seminar that was audio only and it was just Seamus the whole time?
01:39:42.000It's like, well, actually, I wouldn't even need an AI to do that.
01:39:50.000What if Jordan Peterson actually said all those things and they just told us it was an AI?
01:39:53.000What would be funny if, like, an AI was being fed a script of Jordan Peterson and it becomes sentient because of Peterson's, like, speeches.
01:40:03.000Dive with me down this conspiracy theory rabbit hole that I'm formulating right now So all of the celebrities and public figures in the world have gotten together to convince us that deep fakes exist So that when they get caught on video doing bad things they could go.
01:40:19.000Oh, that's just a deep fake true True.
01:43:02.000Well, I think their argument also, like they're playing on, um, Russia was diametrically opposed to the Nazis, at least at the end of World War II, right?
01:43:11.000So they're kind of bringing that back from a lot of the people who, um, would remember that attitude and that pride.
01:44:45.000Yeah, it's actually, like, I don't care what someone's ideology is.
01:44:47.000He genuinely just seems like he was having a bit of a mental breakdown from the internet attention stuff, which happens to, like, every creator at some point.
01:44:56.000I think when you lack mental fortitude and you're put in a position of high visibility, you're very prone to having that kind of breakdown.
01:45:06.000Because for a lot of people, they can't withstand Someone saying bad things about them, you know, even you know, James O'Keefe talked about this that early on in his career He would see these posts made about in these stories and they were wrong and it would like hurt him and he would be like I don't understand why they're saying these awful things about me and like it's not true and he want people he wants people to know and then eventually got older and he was like it Whatever, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna be true to myself and just do my thing and
01:45:32.000I've always been, just me personally, too arrogant, I guess.
01:45:36.000So when someone insults me, I'm like, I'm better than you, so screw you, you know what I mean?
01:45:41.000So for me, I don't care if I lose my job.
01:47:32.000But it's like, they're in that position where it's like, I'll never get a job, I'll never be able to feed my family.
01:47:38.000And of course it's, when I say anti-extremist I don't actually, I mean people have confused anti-extremism with just converting someone to the left.
01:47:45.000Like you're an extremist if you're a conservative so to not be an extremist you have to be left-wing even if I'm a left-winger advocating for bombing pipelines or something that's not an extremist then, right?
01:47:54.000So I've kind of referred to like these anti-extremist orgs as just Nazi job recruiting offices because no one does a political 180.
01:48:06.000It's the most—but look, even for people on the right, I mean, like, Dave Rubin made a very dramatic switch, and a lot of people were very critical of it, and he got I don't know how to describe it.
01:48:19.000Controversy when he went on Joe Rogan, and he was talking about building codes and stuff, and people were like, you know, even Joe was like, what are you talking about with building codes?
01:48:37.000Like, I don't know what Dave was doing before.
01:48:38.000I don't know what Candace was doing before.
01:48:41.000And honestly, I think there's something to be said for somebody who goes from being in the popular establishment side to the dangerous risk of getting banned side.
01:49:49.000JGJ says, thoughts on Marjorie Taylor Greene's association with a Young Idiots conference.
01:49:54.000Saw the Eric Erickson clip that was posted.
01:49:56.000I don't know what that's a reference to.
01:49:58.000Are you referring to the America First conference?
01:50:01.000If you are, because I don't know if you mean Young Idiot by that, but Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at Nick Fontes' thing, and the media was like, why are you speaking at a white nationalist conference?
01:50:10.000And she was like, I was speaking to people at a conference to tell them about ideas I believed in or something like that.
01:50:14.000And I'm just like, These journalists, it's really funny to hear them yelling that because they have no idea what they're talking about.
01:52:24.000Others are graveyards that have lost the markings because a lot of people use poor Catholics and indigenous communities use wooden crosses and they call these all mass graves.
01:53:29.000That just doesn't mean that they were executed.
01:53:32.000Well, but when people use the term mass grave, they're referring specifically to a giant hole that is dug to throw a bunch of bodies in there so you can hide the evidence that you murdered them.
01:53:40.000Because a graveyard is not a mass grave, right?
01:54:58.000So yeah, I actually like, I have the identification that says male.
01:55:02.000I had to get legal, I had to get diagnosed by a doctor as a male first and then go to like the Canadian version of DMV to get it officiated.
01:55:49.000And they speak basically the same language.
01:55:51.000So it has nothing to do with them being anti-refugee or anything.
01:55:53.000It's completely about, yeah, just people that are going to be able to assimilate to their culture.
01:55:57.000Yeah, taking Canadian refugees is a lot different than taking, like, South... Well, I don't want to point out any particular person, but someone that doesn't identify with the culture, Christianity, things like that.
01:56:51.000So you don't need to destroy their infrastructure overnight.
01:56:54.000You just need to stagger their growth enough so that you can become a lot bigger and then absorb them and shut them down.
01:56:58.000So this is an interesting thing I've observed when I speak to military friends of mine.
01:57:02.000They tell me how valuable technology that has no computers in it is, like having a car that has no computer in it.
01:57:09.000And even just, so like I had a few friends, they drove into a river and the water started coming up and they luckily had rolled down windows instead of electric windows and saved their asses.
01:57:18.000In a lot of countries when you have like warfare going on, you want that stuff that's not going to fail.
01:57:23.000You want stuff that you can't like, Boom, short circuit the computer, like take it over.
01:57:27.000So having older technology can actually be like the way to get around that.
01:57:31.000A lot of troops would use like systems to place everyone, but now they're having to go back and learn navigation so that their stuff can't be hacked and tracked where the troops are.
01:59:55.000I saw about 40 minutes or 30 minutes of it so far, and it seems like Mark, one of the things that he said that was notable, two things.
02:00:00.000One thing, he said he's obsessed and wants creative commerce.
02:00:02.000It's a big part of the future of the metaverse is creative commerce.
02:00:05.000Mark, what you need to know is that child slavery is also a form of creative commerce.
02:00:09.000Kids are being rocked on Roblox right now, getting 17% thereabout of the money that Roblox is taking in from the games they make.
02:00:15.000That's creative commerce, so you gotta watch out.
02:00:17.000Second is, he finally, Mark now understands, he used to think everyone should have one identity on the internet, and now he's looking at people should have masses of anonymous identities as well, which I think is a huge breakthrough for the mindset of the guy that's running Facebook right now.
02:00:33.000Kosh Naranek says, come on Tim, I want to hear you say Big Chungus.
02:01:14.000Dude, we should have one and call it Aquarium and just put a bunch of dogs with snorkels inside of tanks of water and just see if anyone's willing to say anything.
02:01:21.000You just have a bunch of people in there pretending.
02:02:19.000One idea I had was to put up a Sunset Free Wallet and it's an empty mall store with lights, cameras in the corners, and there's a wallet sitting on a pedestal right in the middle of the room with like a guy's ID in it and like credit cards and money just to see what people would do.
02:03:59.000Smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show if you like it.
02:04:03.000Go to TimCast.com because we're gonna carry the conversation over to the members-only section where Ian has some very interesting questions, I guess.
02:04:09.000We were gonna talk about the refugee processing at the border because some of these countries are just banning black people from coming in.
02:04:17.000But what they're really saying is it's for the local population, not for migrants.
02:06:03.000Lydia can see everything you're saying about her from that camera.
02:06:07.000I was only texting about Lydia the whole time.
02:06:10.000Seamus, I was gonna say there, I have actually been to stores where you can buy slightly used groceries that are like maybe expired or like beat up or something.
