On this week's episode of The Woke Ones: Russell Brand is the latest target of the media machine, the F-35 is grounded, and there's a conspiracy theory about why the media is going after Russell Brand.
00:00:24.000The first is that Russell Brand, a known abuser, knew himself.
00:00:30.000That these allegations would soon come to haunt him, so he cultivated a following of anti-establishment personalities and fans, so that when it finally came down upon him, he would immediately say, quick, everyone defend me.
00:00:42.000That's an absolutely absurd conspiracy theory.
00:00:44.000The other is that the media machine is going after Russell Brand because of a viral clip on Bill Maher where he roasts Big Pharma, and his consistent anti-establishment attacks have resulted in him being the target of the machine.
00:00:58.000Or the Matrix, as Andrew Tate calls it.
00:01:00.000I think it's funny that he calls it that.
00:01:02.000We'll go through this, we'll talk about it, but I would lean more towards it's very suspicious that across the board, front pages everywhere are going after Russell Brand because he's not Epstein.
00:01:12.000When they ignore Epstein and target Russell Brand, it makes you wonder.
00:01:16.000When they ignore Weinstein for 20-plus years, and then they go after Russell Brand, it makes you wonder.
00:01:21.000Granted, they're allegations, so we'll read through this.
00:01:23.000Then we got big news about this F-35 that apparently just vanished.
00:01:58.000Plus, We have a whole bunch of special guests who are going to start announcing very, very soon.
00:02:03.000We're going to have a pre-show, we're going to have an after-show, and now I'm just going to... I don't know if I'm supposed to announce any of this stuff just yet.
00:02:08.000Alex Stein, of course, is going to be there.
00:02:10.000He's going to be doing a... I guess we call it stand-up?
00:02:25.000I kind of don't want to be like, oh, here's a big list of all of our friends from the show who are going to be there, because maybe they just want to hang out, meet people.
00:02:31.000But we'll put up the list when we're for sure everyone's cool with being shouted out as being there.
00:02:36.000And I think for the most part, the best thing is, if you're an elite member, we're doing a meetup, 3 p.m.
00:02:41.000that day, location to be disclosed the last minute, because security reasons.
00:02:45.000And if you come to the event, we're going to see you there.

00:03:53.000Yeah, we've had three number one hits, we've got two gold records, we've got an independent gold record.
00:04:00.000Independent gold record, that's a big one for us, so thank you to our fans for making that possible.
00:04:04.000But we're just trying to pave the way for indie artists, man.
00:04:06.000The typical story, we're abused in the record industry, definitely mentally and financially.
00:04:15.000And now, they spent years trying to throw dirt on us, but I think now they've given up on that and just said, alright, this band's going to have success.
00:04:23.000We've become one of the most successful independent acts, and we really want to just be, you know, pave the way for other artists who are looking to do this.
00:04:30.000Or maybe if they feel this way, they feel like they've been defeated, maybe it can give them a resurrection.
00:04:37.000It's awesome that you guys, you know, you went independent, you're doing your own thing, you're fighting the culture war, and glad to have you here.
00:05:11.000So we just spent a couple hours down there doing what we all love, messing around with music, and then it inspired us to go back and write an entire song.
00:05:19.000And then I remember you in there just jamming and singing harmonies.
00:06:44.000Some people are comparing this to what they did to Andrew Tate.
00:06:47.000But I think what they did to Andrew Tate, what they're doing to him is a bit more extreme.
00:06:51.000They're accusing him of outright trafficking and stuff like this.
00:06:53.000But I do find it very interesting that Russell Brand is being so heavily targeted for one simple reason.
00:07:01.000Epstein has been accused of doing so much more, and for such a long period of time, to the point where he was actually criminally prosecuted, where you actually had ABC News, Amy Rohrbach saying, we got him, we got this story, and then dropping it.
00:07:15.000When you have someone as devious and malicious, evil, as Epstein, and they do nothing, and then you have Russell Brand and they're like, did you know that 10 years ago, 15 years ago, in one instance they're saying it was 17 years ago.
00:07:29.000It's like, what, two decade old allegations?
00:07:32.000And apparently, I don't even know if these allegations, some of them are not even criminal, they're like, he was abusive emotionally, and like, this is all part of the story.
00:07:38.000You know, they're destroying, they're trying to destroy this guy's career and pull him off, out of the face of the, of the, of, of, of, mainstream conversations and commentary
00:07:48.000for decades old allegations. I just, I gotta say, right off the bat, it seems kind of strange. So I do want
00:07:53.000to play for you this clip here because this is sparking a conspiracy number
00:08:33.000The pandemic created at least 40 new big pharma billionaires.
00:08:37.000Pharmaceutical corporations like Moderna and Pfizer made $1,000 of profit every second from the COVID-19 vaccine.
00:08:42.000More than two-thirds of Congress received campaign funding from pharmaceutical companies in the 2020 election.
00:08:48.000Pfizer chairman Albert Baller told Time magazine in July 2020 that his company was developing a COVID vaccine for the good of humanity, not for money.
00:08:56.000And of course Pfizer made $100 billion in profit All right.
00:08:59.000in 2022. And may I just mention finally, and this is also a fact, that you, the American
00:09:05.000public, funded the development of that. The German public funded the BioNTech vaccine.
00:09:11.000When it came to the profits, they took the profits. When it came to the funding, you
00:09:15.000paid for the funding. All I'm querying is this. Is if you have an economic system in
00:09:21.000which pharmaceutical companies benefit hugely from medical emergencies, where a military
00:09:26.000industrial complex benefits from war, where energy companies benefit from energy crises,
00:09:32.000you are going to generate states of perpetual crisis, where the interests of ordinary people
00:09:38.000separate from the interests of the elite.
00:09:40.000And he hit the nail on the head with a hammer.
00:09:42.000People are saying, like, that's it right there.
00:09:44.000I'm not gonna go, I don't, I think it's silly to say this one clip did it.
00:09:48.000Because I think, I don't know, when's this clip from?
00:10:00.000I know all these media companies are, you know, sponsored by Pfizer, all these news outlets.
00:10:04.000I'll tell you, this could be, first of all, you know, innocent until proven guilty.
00:10:08.000How many times have you seen allegations go against an athlete, someone who seems to be not part of the whole matrix, they call it, right?
00:10:17.000Someone that's not in bed with the elites.
00:10:20.000How many times have you seen the allegations come, the name drug through the mud for a year or two, all to find out in the end that there's no charges, nothing ever happens, but then what happens is you get associated with being a rapist.
00:10:35.000Say Russell Brand, say that this goes on for some time, everything, you know, nothing happens, right?
00:10:42.000Oh, innocent, nothing really that we see that's going to get him jail time.
00:10:46.000People are still going to say, oh, didn't he rape women?
00:10:49.000Yeah, anytime his name comes in an article, they're going to say, Russell Brand, who was accused of this, whether or not anything is actually proven.
00:11:06.000He's, you know, obviously saying information that people may not know that's good to know.
00:11:12.000And I think they're going after him because they're trying to set the tone that if you revolt, if you're going against anything that we're displeased with right now in time, this could be you.
00:11:22.000You could be the one next that's getting this, you know, unjust system.
00:11:27.000I think that the justice system is becoming, you know, completely favorable to the elites who can kind of do whatever they want.
00:11:35.000I think it's always been kind of like that.
00:11:37.000They're doing it in front of our faces now.
00:11:46.000And then someone over here does the worst thing you could possibly do.
00:11:50.000And it's just somehow they program all of our minds to not care that they kill all these people or do... I think this could simply be, if you are outside the establishment and mainstream narrative, you are not allowed to be in the establishment and the mainstream.
00:12:03.000So, this could be for a lot of reasons.
00:12:05.000One, a super jet just popped in, OMG Puppies made a good point, saying that he's anti-war, he's anti-Ukraine war.
00:12:11.000And for the UK, I mean, oof, they're more serious.
00:12:14.000They're sending depleted uranium tank busters, I think they're called these.
00:12:19.000And Putin said that these are basically nuclear weapons.
00:12:21.000So, you've got someone in the UK doing that, they excise him from everything.
00:12:25.000This is their way to reduce his influence.
00:12:28.000I don't think they care about the aftermath.
00:12:29.000They're basically saying he should not be on mainstream television, he should not be on Netflix, BBC, Channel 4, he should be in the gutters of society along with Alex Jones and you name it.
00:12:39.000They should not be platformed as it were.
00:12:45.000If Russell Brand is featured in these TV shows, they generate attention for him, and that brings people to his podcast where he outright says, we should not be funding war, we should not be funding big pharmaceutical companies.
00:13:50.000Well, when the casting comes in and the casting says, looking for sex addicted rock star, you know, literally his agent's like, that's my guy, you know, and then I have the perfect guy.
00:14:03.000And then he, you find out now they're trying to say he does these things in real life.
00:14:08.000And you're like, I kind of figured that was the case anyway, but they're just trying to put a bad spin on what I think Um, I wanna see it, I wanna see the edits.
00:14:15.000Well, I mean, accusing the dude of rape, I think, is completely over the top, right?
00:14:21.000You might look at him and be like, he's- Ten years later.
00:14:23.000Yeah, but like, to assume that he has these behaviors because of his character and his persona and stuff, it's like, well, no, I might assume that he's at like, crazy clubs and parties and doing nasty stuff, but not abusing people.
00:14:34.000I mean, that's like, accusing him of a- like, I wouldn't assume Russell Brand's committing crimes against people, you know what I mean?
00:14:39.000You know, it's crazy that two people can get drunk, blackout drunk, have sex, not even know they did it because they're blacked out.
00:14:45.000Then the next morning, the woman can say, I didn't agree to that.
00:14:51.000If that happened to a woman and they're both blackout drunk, the woman can say, I was raped, but the man can't say, I was raped, which is terrible, right?
00:15:09.000Yeah, this happened once, and everyone- I can't remember who this was.
00:15:12.000Everybody was like, uh, oh, you see the game he's playing?
00:15:15.000He's gonna be the first one to make the accusation so that he can't be accused because he's the one making the accusation.
00:15:20.000I can't remember- there's a story, maybe the people in the chat won't remember.
00:15:23.000I mean, similar stuff comes up when you get, you know, high school students who sleep with their teacher and everyone's like, wow, great job.
00:15:28.000But if it's a girl, they're like, that man was out of control, which, of course, in both scenarios, the adult is in the wrong there.
00:16:28.000I don't think he should lose his job at all just because these claims are coming out.
00:16:31.000And they're not even, I think these claims for the most part are not even claims of criminality.
00:16:37.000I think there may be a couple, but in the instance of a 16-year-old, I think that the age of consent, as all the news reports are saying, it was legal.
00:17:19.000And then I looked into it and apparently a journalist took it upon herself to contact these women and be like, do you want to be in a story about Russell?
00:17:30.000I haven't like been able to confirm or deny because I don't know the behind the scenes workings, but it sounds like it was a reporter that kind of put all this together.
00:17:37.000I just wanna, I wanna say, I'll say two quick things because we got some great messages in the chat.
00:17:43.000This is, Amtru said that, he said, you said it Tim, they're gonna go after lawyers for doing nothing next to media personalities.
00:17:48.000I didn't think this would be like in relation to J6, right?
00:17:53.000I didn't mean like someone like Russell Brand, I meant people who are actively promoting J6.
00:17:57.000But I do wanna say, this is modern assassination.
00:18:02.000The way they target people, powerful elites, corrupt individuals, mafias, whatever, back in the day was assassination.
00:18:11.000That's reserved now for extreme circumstances related to international conflict war.
00:18:16.000What they do now, you can observe with Julian Assange, falsely accused of rape to taint the media.
00:18:22.000You then got all of these intel asset media agencies, prominent mainstream media, they kept saying Julian Assange raped a woman, he was accused of rape.
00:18:38.000And he knows the charges are bunk and so then he goes to the Ecuadorian embassy and then the media runs the attack again and again and again.
00:19:06.000If they're trying to take out someone who's politically powerful or influential, and that person dies, they become a martyr.
00:19:12.000People paint pictures of their face on a wall.
00:19:14.000So the modern technique is destroy the image of the person first, and then make it unacceptable or unthinkable to say their name or cite them.
00:19:22.000Yeah, I would call this modern banishment, where you used to actually throw them out of the country, now you debank them and make them Asian, drop them and stuff.
00:19:30.000It doesn't matter where they live, they're just not welcome to be part of the society.
00:19:44.000There's a lot to be fed up about, and it brings fear For communities, it brings fear for leaders to step out and say, we're not going to take any more of this.
00:19:55.000And it's going to make less people want to put their foot down and revolt against the abuse of power that's been happening extremely the past few years.
00:20:05.000I mean, it's been happening our whole lifetime, but it's really, really getting done in front of our face more recently.
00:20:11.000And I've got little kids to raise, so I want them to grow up in a good, Civilization, right?
00:20:39.000I think Elon's effectively creating a legal revolution by reorganizing the business and infrastructure of the world with, like, building out the electric car thing, getting us up into space with reusable rockets.
00:20:51.000So it's kind of like, you know, the technology is the revolution.
00:20:54.000The way we communicate is the message itself.
00:21:19.000Now I'm going to pause here because the allegations he's making are both the same allegation, that Russell Brand knew he did bad things and created an audience that would challenge the establishment.
00:21:28.000And then he says, or did he do the same?
00:21:31.000I think he made a mistake in this one.
00:21:32.000But I want to play this video that he posted.
00:21:34.000This is the most insane conspiracy theory and it actually makes me think this is a quote-unquote matrix attack against Russell Brand.
00:21:45.000Of course he's known, since Me Too started, that there are women out there who have stuff on him and that it's only a matter of time before they come forward and expose him for what he is.
00:21:59.000He has known that this day was coming and so he's had the incentive over the last few years to cultivate a following of people who distrust the media, who think that the media are out to get Russell Brand and that they'll do anything that they can to do that.
00:22:17.000And that's what he's been doing since Me Too started.
00:22:21.000That's the only way that he avoids being cancelled.
00:22:24.000That's the only way that this guy with the God complex stays relevant.
00:22:28.000Is if he cultivates this following of people who will disbelieve anything the media put out about him because they don't trust the media.
00:22:35.000He has everything to gain from doing that and that's exactly what he's done successfully.
00:22:40.000Yeah, I think it's really funny that this is the conspiracy theory that liberals are going with because Russell Brand was at Occupy Wall Street.
00:22:56.000He's consistently spoken up about these things, but I love this conspiracy that Fifteen years ago, he's like, you know, one of these days they're going to come after me for all the horrible things I've done.
00:23:07.000I better start cultivating a bunch of conspiracy theorists who will think that the media is lying about me.
00:23:19.000So he went to Occupy to start spreading the word and then people would like him and then he felt like, this is the craziest thing I'm talking about.
00:23:25.000Honestly, I wish it were true because that would be even funnier in some way.
00:23:29.000He had this crazy long-term vision for like, first, I've got to make some terrible choices in my life, but I will protect myself by cultivating a podcast.
00:24:18.000It's like, I watch the news at this point and I'm looking at, when I watch CNN, I can like tell they're federal agents.
00:24:25.000I'm like, yeah, I wonder when they graduated from their... Is it because the chyron says former CIA director when they talk?
00:24:31.000Or even the girl that's trying to just be there, I'm like, you're fed.
00:24:36.000These intel officials and analysts and everything get jobs at the corporate press, and the chyron says, like, former CIA, and they're there in these roles.
00:24:48.000It's not even a joke, it's just like, yes.
00:24:51.000How was your mind control course when you were at the FBI?
00:25:21.000Yeah, because if you say, no, I didn't, then you're acknowledging the premise of the accusation.
00:25:25.000Yeah, your lawyer tells you not to say nothing, you know.
00:25:28.000See, that's why I like that, like, he put out a statement being like, none of this is true, right?
00:25:31.000Like, there are some people who try to, like, put their head in the sand, be like, it's not happening, or like, you know, I'm so sorry that you guys feel like maybe I did something wrong in the past.
00:25:38.000Like, just being like, no, none of this is real is more interesting.
00:25:41.000It's also more true to character for Russell Brand.
00:25:43.000I think as much as, you know, a lot of people in this room know already not to trust the media, When he went on Bill Maher, and I think it was in March, that clip.
00:25:50.000Him saying all these things, you know, as many people who are like, oh my gosh, good point.
00:25:54.000There are just as many people being like, yes, thank you for saying this on a national platform.
00:25:58.000Like, they're pretending like he came up with this idea of uniting people who don't trust the media.
00:26:03.000People who don't trust the media find each other all the time.
00:26:05.000Bill Maher was trying to cut him off so hard, too.
00:26:24.000And that's why, you know, we For the most part don't have a lot of sponsors for this show.
00:26:31.000We do on the podcast audio side of things and it's because like I don't want to be put in these positions.
00:26:35.000There's a reality that Someone might come to us and be like, hey, you know, we sell this product and then we'll be like, oh, sounds totally cool.
00:26:44.000Then we'll do ads and then we'll get emails be like, hey, did you know this product is actually bad because they do these things to their employees?
00:26:58.000I don't want to tell people we're not going to shout out their companies because we have that fear though.
00:27:02.000But there is the other side of predominantly why I wouldn't want to go with a major corporation is because like, dude, I assume if you're at a certain size, you're probably just evil.
00:27:10.000You know, like any massive, like Starbucks.
00:28:05.000It just says sugar, but typically they specify, right?
00:28:10.000The secret that you learn in the holistic natural medicine world is when it says natural flavors, they are legally allowed to put whatever they want under that list.
00:31:34.000I haven't picked that out yet, but I'm already going to Mexico City for something else, so I was going to just... Go to Cellular Performance Institute.
00:31:39.000It's where we went, and it's Eddie Bravo shouting them out on Joe Rogan.
00:32:07.000God has put every single thing we need here to heal us.
00:32:10.000If you don't have a cold plunge, you could You could get a cold shower, you could stand out in the rain if you're in an area like this, right?
00:32:18.000There's ways to be re-energized, the sun, everything we need is here.
00:32:23.000I heard a lot about cold plungers, a lot about putting your head under, so if you don't have a full tank, just get like a big bowl, put ice in it, and then submerge your head for like 20 seconds.
00:32:31.000They say you should take cold showers in the morning.
00:32:36.000It's hot at night and cold in the morning or something like that, if you're gonna do it.
00:32:39.000I just jump in and get it as cold as possible and I just let it... It's that first second where it's like, ooh, but then afterwards you feel energized.
00:33:38.000They say, the Pentagon said in a statement that the pause in operations would allow units to discuss aviation safety matters and best practices.
00:33:45.000During a safety stand down, aviation commanders will lead discussions with their marines, folks at Fundamentals, blah blah blah.
00:33:50.000As Ian just mentioned, it was three different incidents.
00:33:57.000They say the decision to stand down comes due to two deadly Marine Corps crashes last month.
00:34:02.000An F-18 pilot died during a training flight near San Diego, and three Marines died and more were wounded when an Osprey crashed off the coast of Australia.
00:34:10.000The Pentagon noted the two previous accidents in its statement Monday.
00:34:16.000I know, you know, these are men and women in uniform who are losing their lives in these instances, but when they lower the standards, And they inject the wokeness into our armed forces, and people of merit don't want to be there, and people who probably shouldn't are, this is what you'll get.
00:34:32.000And it's not just in the military, in the Air Force, or whatever, in the Marines, it's going to be everywhere.
00:34:38.000It's possible that it is like what you're saying is incompetence and that they really have to shut down and make sure these guys are trained.
00:34:44.000Or it could be that our machinery is getting hacked and they are afraid that if they keep it up and running that it's going to get turned around on us.
00:35:56.000at National Harbor, which is, they clear, National Harbor's one of the highest grossing casinos in the country, my understanding, I could be wrong, grossed $600 million last year, is what I'm told, and if you wanted to play there, everything was cash, like the olden days.
00:36:10.000It's, I mean, I kind of, I should have gone and checked it out.
00:36:13.000Because it sounds crazy, but what they were saying, what the guys were telling me is that you go to a slot machine, you can only put cash in, and when you print out a ticket, they would come and hand pay you because there was no machines to put it anywhere.
00:36:37.000So, with Caesars paying the bill, I mean, it's remarkable how stupid these people are.
00:36:43.000But they're probably thinking like, look, it's $40 million, we make billions every year, just pay it, otherwise we could lose, you know, insert amount of money.
00:36:52.000What they don't get about this is that the ransomware didn't go anywhere.
00:36:55.000You paid the bill, your computer's turned back on, well you still gotta flash your entire system, you still gotta rewind it to get rid of that malware, and you don't know where it is!
00:37:05.000They'll do it again, and they will do it again.
00:37:07.000So MGM said, we're not paying it, probably because they were like, guys, if we pay this, we lose the 40 million, then they could come right back a week later and do it to us again.
00:37:18.000It just shows you that they're getting the money.
00:37:20.000You know, they're getting the money off Caesars.
00:37:23.000This is an attack, like what you said, and it was an attack that led to someone making... It's actually Joe Biden's ransomware so he could help pay for the Ukrainian war.
00:37:32.000Yeah, I'm surprised the F-35 didn't end up in- Oh, we found it, it was over in Ukraine.
00:37:36.000Yeah, some people thought they took it to Cuba, that it just autopiloted its way over to Cuba for the Chinese to take over and study.
00:37:42.000So this is the crazy reality of where we're at.
00:37:45.000I think it brings up a really good point.
00:37:47.000We should consider the military implications, right?
00:37:50.000I think it's fair to point out the lowering of standards.
00:37:53.000I think it's kind of an Occam's razor, but it's hard to know for sure.
00:37:58.000That our armed forces have been in a state of decay with people retiring, resigning, and not wanting to be involved anymore because of the injection of wokeness?
00:40:24.000Does everything that's happening in Ukraine, if you were to study everything that happened in Ukraine and they were like, you're getting ready to, okay, now we've got to send American troops over.
00:40:37.000It would be down to people who probably don't even know how to pull a gun out of And we were already coming out of that with Afghanistan, right?
00:40:43.000I mean, we were in all of the conflict in the Middle East for so long.
00:40:46.000There were tons of people who grew up feeling disenfranchised.
00:40:49.000Then on top of that, there's a complete culture of, I don't want to do this.
00:40:56.000You see it in some pockets of society.
00:40:58.000But overall, we don't really have any incentive to be in the military, other than the financial benefits, which for a lot of people, it makes a huge difference, right?
00:41:05.000Being able to get on the GI Bill and have housing and stuff like that.
00:41:07.000But I think we are severely disadvantaged.
00:41:10.000Today I was about two in the afternoon after I was reading about this F-35.
00:41:14.000I was like, I want to join the military for the first time in my life.
00:42:35.000I've met a couple guys, and I'm sure to people listening and you guys probably know some too, that I met one guy who was, I think he was a captain, and he was just like, I resigned.
00:43:15.000I don't want to insult it in any way, but our country is becoming something less desired to fight and risk your life for with the way the direction is trending.
00:43:22.000There was a time where people would die for their country, certainly, and people would go to war and go to battle, and people would do anything for their country.
00:43:29.000When you look at what we're dealing with today and today's climate with just the state of the country, it doesn't look like something that everyone's just jumping forward to put everything on the line for.
00:43:39.000I'm more focused, I feel that way about my community and my family and my friends.
00:43:44.000I'm like gung-ho about protecting that infrastructure of community and churches and people that are in my everyday life.
00:43:55.000I think it would be hard to get People to risk their lives for the state of this country.
00:44:00.000Homelessness, everything that's going on, it's a shame.
00:44:02.000And what you're doing serves the military because it protects and stabilizes the local communities so that they don't have to worry about coming in to defend it.
00:44:46.000Let's say you live in your neighborhood.
00:44:47.000Those of you that are listening, how many of you know your neighbors?
00:44:49.000I'm sure a lot of you do because the people who listen to this show are on the higher end of the awareness spectrum, bell curve or whatever you call it.
00:44:58.000Let's say you live in a neighborhood, when I lived in Chicago for instance, when I was a teenager, when I was into my early twenties and rented an apartment with my friends, you're on the second floor of a house, I didn't know anybody who lived anywhere near me.
00:45:10.000What happens if the road gets shut down as a major accident?
00:45:14.000Storm hits, massive blizzard, nobody can drive, there's no In-N-Out, there's no grocery store, they can't get supplies to the store, who are you going to ask for help?
00:45:23.000You need, people need to talk, like, talk to their neighbors, build community, so that in the event of a flood, a fire, hurricane, you name it, you have a plan for what you do in the event of... A plan and united!
00:45:34.000What happens, what, look, I keep hearing, this is gonna sound like a crazy conspiracy theory, but...
00:45:39.000What's the only word you've heard in the last six months to a year is the word AI, right?
00:45:49.000What are you going to do the day that AI shows up at your gate of your community and it's just got to make its rounds to collect tax holdings?
00:46:11.000With CBDC, all automatically done for you.
00:46:14.000You don't even have to think about it.
00:46:15.000I mean, the thing is, AI isn't going to do the things that we need community to do, right?
00:46:19.000Like, you have young children and you're married, like, if your wife had a medical emergency in the middle of the night and you had to take her to the hospital, hopefully your neighbor next door would come over and sit with your kids, right?
00:46:28.000Like, there are some things that we just can't replace with technology and it's really important to know the people you're around.
00:46:32.000We talk about it all the time in terms of being proactive, knowing who your kids are involved with, who you're doing business with, things like that, but there are times that there's just no substitute for the people around you.
00:46:42.000Ian, you sent me that AI video, right?
00:46:44.000Oh, we should play a little bit of that.
00:47:07.000But this is a, this is like a three minute video and we are, after watching this, I'm like, yeah, okay, we're a year away from, from, bro, we're going to pull up the AI.
00:47:17.000You're going to type into chat GPT or something.
00:47:19.000And you're going to say, Generate me a music video of a song by Adelita's Way.
00:48:14.000They're amorphous, they're like amoeba, and they're robotic.
00:48:17.000They're like, I don't know if they're iron graphene, I don't know what they're made of exactly, but they can go around and through cracks and stuff.
00:48:23.000Well, they really must be susceptible to ARs, because that seems to be the thing that they want none of us to have.
00:48:30.000They're mounting rifles onto these drone dogs.
00:48:54.000Drone defense is by far the most important thing we can possibly do right now is build up our drone defense systems, be it robot dogs or flying swarm drones.
00:49:35.000It's just, it's going to be an arms race, you know, uh, an escalation of, of the capabilities of these devices.
00:49:42.000I think people need to consider this too.
00:49:43.000And I want to save a lot of the AI stuff.
00:49:45.000We'll talk about this in the members only, but I warned about this 10 years ago.
00:49:48.000I was, uh, Me and my friends, we launched the first live-streaming aerial drone, and we were broadcasting from Occupy Wall Street with it.
00:49:58.000We got invited to a bunch of university and government panel stuff.
00:50:01.000I was selecting a test location for where they would begin setting up and devising regulations on drones, and I told these guys, You need to prepare for when they take these things and they use them as weapons.
00:50:13.000Because if one of these things gets launched from 50 miles away and then sent full speed towards, say, New York City, what do you do?
00:50:23.000And I'm like, this kind of stuff is at your doorstep.
00:50:26.000And this is a terrifying thing, but now you're seeing it in Ukraine where they have these videos where they're using them as weapons of war.
00:50:32.000So we definitely need our cities to be proactive on this stuff to prevent it.
00:50:36.000I do think there's probably really simple solutions we should think about.
00:50:40.000The problem is, what do you do when this thing falls out of the sky?
00:50:43.000So if you do like infrared lasers on the top of buildings to target a drone, you know, an unknown drone or vessel coming into your city, if you hit that thing to stop it, it falls.
00:51:15.000As islands residents complain they have to wait for care.
00:51:17.000More than 12,000 migrants have arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa in the past week, putting the staff, like Franco Galletto, under serious strain.
00:51:53.000That was an older video, but there is a video going viral right now that I haven't confirmed, where it shows people setting up barricades, and the argument is, look, these migrants have started setting up their own territorial zones.
00:52:04.000You get 12,000 people into your community of 6,000, your community does not exist anymore.
00:53:15.000You know, the thing is, when you get to Italy, it's a pathway into the EU.
00:53:19.000The EU says Italy, you have to process all the asylum seekers.
00:53:22.000And so they're presuming that all the migrants there are going to apply for asylum, which I just think statistically is not going to happen.
00:53:28.000And so this becomes an incredible problem that communities are having to deal with.
00:53:31.000You were talking about wanting to do things locally.
00:53:33.000These 6,000 people are now having to accommodate 12,000 people.
00:53:40.000It's that if we're supposed to, you see what AOC was saying in New York when she said, everyone's screaming at her saying, get these illegal immigrants out of our city.
00:54:06.000So now think about what's going on with the EU.
00:54:09.000This problem's been happening for a decade plus.
00:54:12.000It got really, really bad several years ago, and it's not being abated.
00:54:16.000If they follow the course they have in many other countries, what's going to happen is the people who are there would be given special rights.
00:54:24.000What happens when you have a piece of land with 12,000 people who are not allowed to vote, and there are 6,500 people who do vote?
00:54:33.000Eventually, the 12,000 people say, there's more of us than there are of you, and we now get the right to vote.
00:54:40.000So what is, what will likely happen in these circumstances is that, I'm sorry, your laws are only meaningful so long as they can be enforced.
00:54:47.000Your borders are only meaningful so long as they can be enforced.
00:54:50.00012,000 people show up, by all means, your law still exists.
00:55:18.000So what this is, is that woman who went to New Jersey and had a gun and didn't know it was illegal and got arrested, she did not know the law of this other place.
00:55:27.000Now what happens if 10,000 people cross into New Jersey?
00:55:31.000Is that one cop going to be able to stop anybody?
00:55:33.000Your law only applies to you who know it and follow it.
00:55:37.000And, I mean, to add on top of this, most people don't even know when new laws get passed anyway.
00:55:41.000Especially when they ban guns, because it's like, how are you supposed to follow all that stuff?
00:55:56.000Some probably will just try to take what's theirs or take what they want.
00:56:00.000You're going to deal with a lot of hostility there if 12,000 people that don't have much are in a place that has a lot of resources.
00:56:08.000Doesn't the EU already subsidize the residences to house immigrants?
00:56:14.000So, I mean, we already know the first thing that they're going to do, they're going to start making these locals house these people in their homes.
00:56:20.000The expectation is that you're okay with that.
00:56:22.000Each house has to, you know, we have double the people in our country now, so you gotta put four people in each house.
00:56:30.000Well, and if you read all the mainstream media articles that came out about it today, they all say, but what about the Tunisia deal?
00:56:35.000And this was the idea of the UN president, Von Laderson, I can never say her name, but she and the Prime Minister of Italy were working out a deal with Tunisia because Tunisia is the biggest gateway for all of this.
00:56:46.000I mean, this is where smugglers headquartered, people who are displaced within Africa know to go to Tunisia and then potentially get into Italy there.
00:56:52.000And they were going to offer them Tunisia's economy in shambles, and they're saying, We'll give you a lot of money to stop these boats from coming over.
00:57:00.000But we know, we talked about this, that that ultimately means that Tunisia is like, well, when we need more money, we'll just let the migration go back up.
00:57:56.000And now they're kicking out veterans out of hotels to, you know, put the migrants in.
00:58:00.000And New York's already just in disrepair.
00:58:03.000There's videos of the rats running around.
00:58:05.000The sidewalk's crumbling and you can see like the subways.
00:58:08.000Casey Neistat posted this crazy video and I'm like, how did he get this video?
00:58:13.000He sees the sidewalk is crumpled and he pushes into it and it just falls straight down and he sticks his camera Into the underground, like, piping and everything, and he was like, the sidewalks are scary in New York.
00:58:25.000It's like, well, it's only gonna get worse, brother.
00:58:27.000Dude, thinking about this intense overpopulation, this migration, a thousand years ago, if you have 20,000 people arrive on your island of 6,000 people, you fight, you pull out your weapons and defend your island so they don't- It would be war.
00:58:41.000But the Italians are told to do that is to be racist.
00:58:43.000The difference now is we have telephones, we have internet, we know that they're not there to kill.
00:58:46.000That's not, I mean, obviously, they didn't come, they would have been doing it if that was the That's not the- It doesn't seem like it, but we need to understand the history of what happens when you let rapid migration encroach on people's territory.
00:58:57.000If we don't accept and acknowledge what has happened in the past, it is very likely that it will happen again in the future.
00:59:02.000But we can prevent it if we start working on it now.
00:59:05.000What's happening right now is, this is the challenge.
00:59:35.000The problem is you've had these videos, especially in the southern border of Mexico, where they're smashing through the barriers and fighting with the border guards.
00:59:42.000And so the argument is because they don't have guns, a violent incursion into sovereign territory by another group of people is like, just let it happen.
01:00:24.000Unfortunately, it's great to be like, I love love and peace.
01:00:27.000I mean, I promote it every single night on tour.
01:00:29.000It's the first thing that I want to promote.
01:00:32.000But violence is inevitable when you have people that are desperate and they need to survive themselves, right?
01:00:39.00012,000 people on an island, they need to survive.
01:00:41.000I think the issue here, some people may be a bit more conspiratorial.
01:00:45.000I think it's more so that they just don't care.
01:00:47.000The the government of Italy they're just like look I'm overwhelmed.
01:00:50.000I can't deal with this I know Georgia Maloney was like we don't care they went down there.
01:00:54.000This is from other BBC yesterday, Georgia Maloney went to the island She's the prime minister of these people back.
01:01:00.000I know she's hardcore I mean and that was what she campaigned on she campaigned on and I will stop illegal immigration platform So this is a big test for her her government in particular when I one of the things I think The challenges she faces and it reminds me a lot of what's going on in Texas with the floating barrier is, you know, there have been times where she has been like, I'm going to deploy a naval blockade.
01:01:29.000In Texas, Greg Abbott's in big trouble because he put up this 1,000-foot orange buoy barrier in the Rio Grande, and initially the DOJ said, you have to take it down.
01:01:40.000We're going to sue you because it's inhumane.
01:01:43.000We shouldn't stop people from swimming.
01:01:45.000And his response was, you're saying it's inhumane because the swim is dangerous, so therefore the deterrent is a good thing because then people don't attempt it.
01:01:55.000They said, actually, no, you needed like the Army Corps of Engineers to design this raft.
01:02:00.000And really, you violated congressional law.
01:02:03.000I mean, they'll twist whatever they want to ultimately get the effect of allowing illegal immigration to continue to the detriments of the communities that are having to accommodate these people and having to provide the resources that they themselves probably don't have.
01:02:16.000This makes me think of in Lampedusa, this is like, if you play Civilization, there's a technique in that called a cultural, you can flip a city to your side with cultural pressure.
01:02:25.000And now I'm wondering if that's actually, in the game, what you're not seeing is the migration that's happening.
01:02:30.000But it's like, Lampedusa's closer to Tunisia than it is to Italy.
01:02:33.000In the game, this is more akin to just attacking the city.
01:02:38.000But it's with unarmed civilians, that's why it's not really, there's no attack.
01:02:43.000I don't know about the later civilizations, but in earlier games, I know this for sure, I don't know if I've played the later ones enough, if you send units into enemy borders and fortify them, you take that land, and it's a declaration of war.
01:02:57.000So, sending even non-military into their country to occupy... Unless you have open borders policy, yeah.
01:03:02.000But then they all come in, and then they all surround the city, and they don't attack the city, they just start taking the land, and then it results in war.
01:03:09.000The cultural thing is more about the people in the city like your way of life better and vote to join you.
01:03:14.000But if the people in the city are my people in your city, then of course they're gonna like my ways better than your ways, but anyway, you're probably right.
01:03:23.000You've got to put yourself in the shoes of the people that it's happening to.
01:03:28.000Imagine you're sitting in your neighborhood, but your gate and your gate opens up and twice as many people are about to enter your gate that live in your gate.
01:03:38.000What do you do if you're the one that's dealing with that?
01:03:41.000It's so easy for us to be halfway across the world and think about that happening, right?
01:03:47.000But it's starting to happen in New York City.
01:03:55.000Bill Malugan says, breaking one of the largest mass illegal crossings we have ever seen took place in Eagle Pass, Texas this morning.
01:04:02.000Border Patrol source is telling us over 2,200 people crossed since midnight.
01:04:06.000It happened right next to the port of entry.
01:04:08.000As illegal immigrants continue to ignore the Biden admin messaging of do not come and do not fear the promised consequences of crossing illegally.
01:04:15.000Videos from source in Mexico and our Fox drone team.
01:05:06.000The challenge with deportation is that if they're not Mexican citizens,
01:05:09.000we can't go to Mexico and be like, we're sending these people to your country within reason.
01:05:13.000So they end up getting flown back to say Guatemala or Honduras or wherever they may be from.
01:05:17.000Many of these people, not a lot, I'm saying, I'm not saying the majority,
01:05:21.000but a lot of them are coming from South America and even Africa.
01:05:25.000They'll fly from Africa to Brazil and then trek all the way up to the southern border where they know they can just walk into the United States.
01:05:31.000But Venezuelans coming illegally through Mexico into the U.S.
01:05:35.000is kind of like if Chris gave you a Dr. Pepper and you spilled it on me, I can't blame Chris because you're the one that spilled it.
01:05:41.000Mexico is the one that's letting them across the border.
01:05:44.000So of course, hell yeah we can send them back to Mexico.
01:05:47.000I'm just saying like There are certain circumstances where we go to Mexico and it's like, hey, we have a bunch of these citizens that are not our citizens.
01:06:00.000Take all that money that went to Ukraine and just spend it on transportation for these people back to their homes and securing the border and stopping this because We can't sustain this economically.
01:06:12.000When these people are screaming at AOC, like, get these people out, it's because they're saying we're cutting services.
01:06:24.000I've been paying into the system and now it's being taken from me by these strangers who are coming in and effectively stealing from us.
01:06:31.000They should just say, you are not welcome to just illegally enter.
01:06:35.000All immigrants are welcome in the United States, but you got to do it legally.
01:06:38.000We could also maybe, instead of investing in slave labor in China, maybe start building factories in these Central American, South American countries that are more than our neighbors are.
01:06:48.000We should build factories in the United States for American workers.
01:06:51.000Well yeah, I mean that's definitely the first thing to do, but maybe help these other countries that are to the south of us maybe have a better economy so they don't want to come here.
01:07:05.000Would it be better to make it in, at least in North America or at least in this part of the world, in South America than in China and potentially alleviate our immigration problem?
01:07:13.000It'd be good for the climate too, you know, not as long of ship rides for the cargo.
01:07:17.000I mean, I ultimately think, yeah, manufacturing jobs should come back to the US, but it's not a bad point.
01:07:20.000It is interesting that we're willing to ship manufacturing somewhere else, but we're saying, oh, these people are fleeing economic and political turmoil, yet we are not adjusting anything we're doing Yeah, my number one option is bringing back manufacturing back to the United States, but I mean, that's not happening either, so... Why is AOC so confident in just telling New Yorkers how it is like this?
01:07:38.000Why is she just out there, like, they're all yelling at her and she's out there like, you're all... She's not listening to anybody.
01:07:44.000She's just not listening to what none of the people of the community are saying.
01:08:09.000Man, I'm telling you, I think AOC could easily lose her district, especially over this.
01:08:14.000But people have to go there and just start spreading the word, informing people.
01:08:19.000Because what happens is, the average person who votes in the primary, which effectively gets her elected, the average person who votes in the congressional elections, they just vote for Democrats.
01:08:37.000Nancy Pelosi said, she held up a glass of water and said, People will vote for a glass of water if you put a D on it in my or AOC's district.
01:10:14.000I just want anybody to come in that stops the unjust that we're seeing and the direction of culture and society that we're seeing.
01:10:23.000It's getting pretty ugly and it needs to be nipped in the butt and that's why I just keep on putting my faith in God and trying to be closer to my community because I know that's what I can do as my part.
01:10:32.000This is the most important thing that people can do right now because a lot of these problems that we face are daunting.
01:10:38.000And a lot of people want simple solutions like if I vote for Trump, Trump does the job.
01:10:42.000Voting for Trump is a good thing to do.
01:10:44.000Spreading the word first and foremost is more important because for every person you convince to vote for, and it's not necessarily Trump, it's for somebody who's actually going to uphold our values and try and keep Americans safe and better our economy and better the world.
01:10:57.000Convincing people to vote better multiplies your vote for everyone you convince.
01:11:01.000But the most important thing is always going to be, I mean first let's go in the hierarchy, the least, one of the least important things in terms of fixing all the problems is going to be just voting for the president.
01:11:11.000Because you gotta, more important than that, convince other people to vote for a good president.
01:11:15.000More important than that, convince people to vote for good members of Congress.
01:11:18.000More important than that, convince people to vote locally for your state rep, state senator, city council, you name it.
01:11:25.000That's the stuff that has impact on your city.
01:11:27.000If everybody got everyone to vote for good candidates at the local level, it starts to fix things from the ground up.
01:11:34.000Then the next important thing after all the voting is said and done is you gotta succeed, take care of your family, find a good job, be physically well, stop eating the garbage, start exercising.
01:11:43.000You know what I was thinking as I was playing?
01:11:46.000I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3. I love this game. It's such a popular game. It's so big and I'm thinking to myself
01:11:50.000How many people are playing this game right now and they're not upping their own stats?
01:11:54.000When you play games like this you level up you get experience points you level up now your character is
01:11:59.000stronger You're unlocking new abilities and I'm like how many people
01:12:01.000play this game and love that idea, but don't do it for themselves
01:12:05.000That's that I'm like that's to be the training program right? That's the solutions man. You're offering solutions
01:12:13.000Someone, and I'm sure this exists already, a personal trainer should create the RPG training program where you get, you level up and then they track your stats and then they show you your avatar or whatever.
01:12:26.000Treat it like a video game where you're actually breaking barriers and then it can be like, in order to get, like, I mean like martial arts belts is kind of like this.
01:12:35.000You level up, you get the next level, you want to attain that, you want to get, I think that's how you got to approach it.
01:12:39.000Dude, if you could get crypto for that, and it measured your biometrics, you, like, held the handles, and it's like, you've gained 2% body fat.
01:12:45.000And then they put, like, $1.90 in your bank account.
01:12:47.000Whenever you're horny, your wife gets a little heart signal.
01:12:49.000Wait, wait, wait, wait, hey, this is an idea that might— She knows it's time.
01:12:52.000Hey, this is an idea that might get you in trouble, Ian.
01:12:55.000It's probably already in development right now.
01:12:56.000I would imagine these technocrats... Hey, check it out.
01:12:58.000An app that generates cryptocurrency when you're... So you got these apps, like I'm wearing this watch, and it tracks vitals and stats and stuff like that.
01:13:08.000So once you reach a certain degree of health and stress and it goes down, you're earning more crypto per day.
01:13:15.000The more healthy you are, like lower resting heart rate, less stress, the more crypto it generates.
01:13:21.000Yeah, you just got to make sure the code is free and that you're controlling, because they're going to be sending all that data, some centralized data.
01:13:27.000Ideally, they won't be, but it's likely that if you just grab some random app, it's going to send it to you.
01:13:38.000My vitals are proving that I need some...
01:13:40.000Imagine if you made a video game that, like, when you defeat a bad guy and it drops a few gold pieces, you get bonus multipliers based on your personal physical health.
01:13:51.000And, like, if you could somehow figure out, like, learning.
01:14:05.000But we can actually, like, if you're playing a game like Starfield or Baldur's Gate or whatever, no one's going to do this because there's no money in investing in it.
01:14:12.000It's just a social good that no one's going to want to do.
01:14:14.000But imagine it's like, oh, you get 1.1 times your experience points if you're at average health fitness.
01:14:21.000If you're above average, you get 1.2 times.
01:14:23.000And if you're unhealthy, you get minus one.
01:14:27.000So it's like a way to encourage people, this is the problem right now, is the United States is basically just this gluttonous state of the seven, I shouldn't even say gluttonous, it's all the seven deadly sins.
01:14:36.000People are not taking care of themselves, they're not planning for long term, they're not planning their families, they're not battering their bodies, they're just chasing after those dopamine hits, and it's resulting in decay.
01:14:49.000This would be a perfect opportunity for, like, a really good health insurance company.
01:14:54.000But they're all in bed with big pharma, so they'd actually not want to do that.
01:15:23.000Yeah, you make money with your insurance?
01:15:26.000I like the insurance incentivization, except that if they are like, did you not get vaccinated for some random thing we think you should be?
01:15:32.000Then maybe we'll make you pay more for your insurance this year.
01:15:34.000Yeah, there's ambiguity in what they define as being healthy or making good choices.
01:15:38.000They could stop making prices up at the hospital.
01:15:44.000$2,422, you're like, that's a made-up number.
01:15:47.000$2,400 for one night in the emergency room.
01:15:50.000Every woman I know who has given birth in a hospital, they say like, you got your bill and you have to go back and ask for an itemized bill, and then the number drops.
01:15:56.000It's like when you ask them specifically what you're paying for, they're like, oh, just kidding, we made that one up.
01:16:01.000Let's jump to this story, which is a hard segue of a relatively silly story.
01:16:07.000Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer quietly ditches dress code to cater for Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman and his shorts and hoodies.
01:16:15.000This is just... I mean, like, dude, come on, man.
01:16:18.000You want to wear a hoodie with jogging shorts?
01:17:12.000You should be dressed appropriately, meaning the dress code should be something like you have to wear pants, you have to wear shoes, you have to wear a shirt.
01:17:21.000You can be removed if you are determined to be, like, unkempt or something like that.
01:17:27.000But I don't agree overall with the standard dress code people expect, you know, suit wearing and stuff.
01:17:32.000And so the important thing to consider, as we kick this segment off, Donald Trump ate a well-done steak with ketchup.
01:17:38.000It was a 30-day dry-aged steak at a fancy restaurant and he said, how do you want it?
01:17:50.000When the media came out and started insulting Trump for eating a steak well done with ketchup, a lot of poor people in this country eat their steaks well done with ketchup.
01:17:58.000They can't afford the good fancy 30-day dry-aged steaks.
01:18:01.000They want something that just tastes good and they slap some ketchup on it.
01:18:44.000I bet he wears just like jeans and a t-shirt, normal clothes.
01:18:46.000And then he puts on the hoodie and shorts for a persona.
01:18:49.000And they want you to insult him for it because they're hoping you insult working class people in PA.
01:18:55.000I'm not saying every working class person in PA wears this, but there are, I was seeing a lot of people post on Twitter saying like, hey man, a lot of us up here in Western PA, we dress similarly.
01:19:09.000I mean, this has been a consistent thing for him.
01:19:12.000I don't personally think that there's anything wrong with having different standards of dress and having some places where it's more formal and whatever else.
01:19:18.000And again, that might be, like, the culture I grew up in, right?
01:19:20.000Like, I grew up going to church and everyone wore a coat and tie.
01:20:25.000I think, yeah, he's definitely, you know, had health problems, but Pennsylvania is very corrupt.
01:20:32.000I mean, I grew up in Pennsylvania, and it's...
01:20:36.000It's we should be talking about the job he's doing Well, I mean, I love this conspiracy theory that they swapped him out with a body double.
01:20:43.000Yeah, I think is Alex Stein promoting that one I don't know.
01:20:47.000He loves conspiracy theories, but I I don't people Because Fetterman shaved and he got a mustache.
01:22:18.000And then the media will then write in a paragraph, John Fetterman gave a passionate and exasperated plea to lower the price of gas and reduce the amount of cars on the highway.
01:22:27.000They won't actually quote what he said, they'll just create an interpretation.
01:22:31.000Then someone will see a picture of John Fetterman going like this, like, hmm, and then it'll say that, and they'll be like, wow, and they won't realize that he didn't actually say anything English.
01:22:38.000I'm voting for this guy, his fingers up.
01:22:59.000It's that he is in there confused and bewildered, and his office is in disarray.
01:23:03.000And so if every member of Congress and the Senate were as disheveled and disoriented as Fetterman, then the government would just be Stuck.
01:23:45.000I want to address this about the uniform because Cain Abel superchatted saying that wearing a suit and tie is about respect for the office and those that represent.
01:24:24.000But they have affordable suits for people who don't want to break the bank.
01:24:28.000I would also assume the average person, if you couldn't afford it, if you're living paycheck to paycheck, you're probably gonna have to go to a thrift store to buy a suit.
01:24:34.000I'm not saying suits are the hardest things in the world to get.
01:24:36.000I just don't like the idea of some arbitrary cultural standard of what you must now own to represent working-class people or anyone in this country.
01:24:46.000Suits In my view, are this social custom of, I am wearing a thing because we have deemed this to be the thing you have to wear in this setting.
01:24:57.000I would rather see a dude in his work overalls with grease on his hands in the Senate building saying, I got off work 20 minutes ago and I'm not going to drive an hour back and forth just so that I can put on a suit for you.
01:25:10.000This is what real working class Americans look like.
01:25:12.000Instead, we get clammy hands, Frail, dainty, multi-millionaires doing insider trading, wearing their suits, and demanding, here's the worst part.
01:25:39.000You can't come in unless you're wearing a suit.
01:25:41.000The expectation that every person in this country is going to have access to these things.
01:25:45.000Now again, I will stress, I'm not saying it's the hardest thing in the world to get a suit, but I just don't like the idea that there could be a circumstance where we want a farmer to testify and he says, look man, I'm in the field 16 hours a day.
01:25:57.000I ain't got no time to go out and get a tailor fit suit or find a suit.
01:26:02.000But if they want to come in and they want to show what it actually is like to be the person who is the foundation of this country, producing the things that make this country good, or make this country function, then I think it's fine to say, okay, maybe you shouldn't have grease on your hands.
01:26:17.000But if you're going to show up showing the American people this is what it looks like when you work for this country, I find that acceptable.
01:26:23.000And I don't like that they're like, you can't come into our elite chamber because you represent this country, so you have to wear the clothes we determine you can wear.
01:26:31.000Well, and it's reflective of a larger cultural change.
01:26:33.000I mean, we used to be a more formal society.
01:26:47.000I mean, there was a time when there was an expectation of dress code that was just different.
01:26:50.000And maybe it's good that our culture has changed, but I don't think that, like, It has to be elite.
01:26:55.000I think you're right that people should be able to come, should be excluded especially if it's going to affect their daily lives because they don't have a suit.
01:27:01.000I got no problem with you have to wear pants, you have to wear shoes, you have to wear a shirt, and you have to be clean.
01:27:07.000I can totally understand all those things.
01:27:08.000There's questions of hygiene and I do respect to a great degree the idea of professionalism.
01:27:14.000I don't respect the idea of the arbitrary suit as the symbol of what it is to be professional because I view a working class American in his, maybe it's a mechanic and he's wearing a jumpsuit.
01:27:26.000That to me is more indicative of someone who works for this country than these, I'm going to refrain from cussing and insulting these pieces of trash, these corporate funded sellouts who don't actually represent you and your values and sell your values out to the highest bidder.
01:27:42.000I have very little respect for these people.
01:27:44.000And to be like, it's the clothing they wear that shows professionalism.
01:28:25.000But it's a right attitude to have because look where we are right now.
01:28:28.000None of these people are an actual representation of the people in their state.
01:28:32.000Maybe a couple, and I want to say, I shouldn't be absolute because there's a handful of people I do like that are in Congress and the Senate, but I'm just, I'll say it again, the idea that they determine that what they wear is proper respect and what the average working class American wears is disrespectful, I do not like that idea.
01:28:51.000Again, Federman should not be wearing jogging shorts.
01:28:54.000That I agree is like- No hammer pants.
01:29:43.000That's the first thing I thought of when we were talking about suits is your choke hazard necktie.
01:29:46.000I can't stand- I don't wear neckties, I wear suit jackets happily because they keep me warm and they look nice, but like, this is like- they are servants, yeah, and you want to remind them you're a servant, and wear that tie, servant.
01:29:55.000But at the same time, you know, I can't- I just- I think it's pretentious.
01:30:15.000Wearing that suit is not the only way to be a professional, and so we should have respect for people who represent this country in other ways.
01:30:22.000Brief aside, do you know why Fetterman doesn't wear suits?
01:30:53.000Alright, we're gonna go to Super Chats, everyone.
01:30:55.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and become a member by going to TimCast.com.

01:31:22.000And, as a member, You will be a part of our Discord community.
01:31:27.000For those that don't know what that is, it means you are in basically a social network space where you're hanging out and talking in real time with other people who have similar ideas to you or believe in similar things, maybe disagree with you.
01:32:55.000I just want to give a shout out to Baldur's Gate 3 and the ability to speak to animals because you can talk to all the animals and it's hilarious.
01:33:03.000Yeah, I gave three of my characters that ability.
01:33:48.000Alright, Max Reddick says, Tim, you gotta have Destiny back on to debate Joe Biden's corruption regarding the quid pro quo.
01:33:54.000He's heard the arguments but isn't buying it.
01:33:56.000Yes, I just watched a two-hour video of Destiny on his channel, which you should watch from, I think it's yesterday, of a guy just explaining everything from 2014, and I watched about 40 minutes of it so far.
01:34:07.000No, he's writing it down as the guy's explaining it to him, and we should have the guy that explained it to him on the show because he knows everything.
01:34:16.000I watched about 30, yeah, he's like, just, just keep, don't worry about Donald Trump, because the guy's like, and I should point out that if this happened with Trump Jr.
01:34:22.000and Destiny's like, Devin, don't worry about that, just, I'm, my brain is open, I want the information.
01:34:40.000Joe Biden got... Okay, let's start from the beginning.
01:34:43.000Hunter Biden calls DC and says, we need help dealing with a prosecutor who's investigating Burisma.
01:34:50.000Shortly after that call, I think it was a few days or it might have been a week, Biden flies to Ukraine and says, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting a billion dollars.
01:35:00.000Under what authority does Joe Biden do this?
01:35:02.000Well, the argument is under the president's authority.
01:35:06.000The prosecutor gets fired, later signs a sworn affidavit saying he was fired because he was investigating Burisma, where the son of Joe Biden was on the board.
01:35:34.000The bare minimum we have, if the story was literally just as Joe Biden explained it and nothing else, it's a conflict of interest and it should have been stopped and should be investigated.
01:35:45.000And if that's all it is, fine, so be it.
01:35:46.000But considering Devin Archer and Tony Bobulinski have already testified that Biden was influence peddling using his son as a proxy, effectively testified to that degree, Devin Archer saying that Hunter Biden was selling the brand, saying, my dad's the VP, this is what you get.
01:35:59.000Then Hunter being told to make the call to protect the company, Joe Biden was very much involved.
01:36:03.000Plus, then you have Hunter Biden saying his dad takes his salary.
01:36:06.000You have the email where he says 10% for the big guy.
01:36:53.000No, the thing about Destiny is that he very, very much does have hard, liberal, moral perspectives and has no problem saying them outright.
01:37:14.000For example, The first time he came on, he made a comment about the COVID policies they implemented using the crisis as an excuse to steamroll things through.
01:37:26.000And his response wasn't, no, that never happened.
01:38:09.000Yeah, I'm just gonna direct all inquiries to Dane Font on Twitter and also just like send her diaries to my dad, you know?
01:38:18.000And, uh, well, you know, and actually because of the Me Too movement, you know, we're gonna have to tell you that you're not allowed to do that, but Carter will be there and you can certainly propose to him because he's a guy, so it's not a Me Too thing.
01:40:56.000I won't say too much until we get the ball rolling on it, but we're looking at areas, an area probably out here in some part of Appalachia where we can get a big enough space.
01:41:07.000But we want to do... Alright, I was going to say it anyway.
01:41:09.000The preliminary stuff is we want to do An independent media and parallel economy convention, where it's basically we've got this growing space of all these independent content creators across the board from sports, science, politics, you name it.
01:41:27.000And so I'm like, I mean, we should have a place where once a year everybody comes together and we build that community.
01:41:32.000You know, we're doing this thing in Martinsburg where we want to, it's preliminary as well, but we're having a meeting about it in a couple days, to invest in a bunch of businesses and set up brick and mortar shops for these parallel economy businesses, these companies that Public Square supports and that support Public Square.
01:41:49.000And then I'm thinking, like, well, what about, like, we might have that cool little, you know, strip of downtown where people can hang out and go to Cousin T's diner and get some Casper coffee, maybe a slice of pizza at Papa Jack's, but what about a once-a-year convention?
01:42:02.000And it's like, okay, well, you know, let's find a place where we can something.
01:42:06.000So it's very, very preliminary, but that's the general idea.
01:42:26.000We've got to start making these things.
01:42:28.000Wouldn't it be cool to have those days where people are talking to panels at night and have musical performances from people who are in the space?
01:42:54.000We start small, we expect a couple thousand attendees or something, and then we get some bands interlaced with speakers, and it's just like two or three days.
01:43:01.000You look at what, like, Charlie Kirk does, and they got massive stuff going on.
01:43:05.000I think you could have some massive too.
01:43:06.000I think that there's a movement right now.
01:43:08.000I think bands used to be super, like, when we used to walk into a room early on, because we were kind of like, We had this kind of mindset years back.
01:43:16.000We were like the outsiders everywhere we went in the music industry, but now we're noticing that we're showing up and there's bands that are more like-minded to us.
01:43:23.000I think there's some of the biggest bands too.
01:43:25.000I think a band, you could have a band like Shine Down or Phil's band too.
01:43:49.000Where Shinedown got on a stage with their acoustic guitars and they played one of their biggest hits, Second Chance, in front of thousands of people, no PA, everyone shouting the lyrics back at them, and Oliver Anthony's on stage with them, playing his guitar, and that was a super cool moment.
01:44:06.000I wonder if Billy Corgan would come to Smashing Pumpkins.
01:46:14.000You get rid of the creator, you get rid of the heart and soul of the project, you're going to be able to tell.
01:46:19.000It's like when Game of Thrones went off course and started writing the ending of the series without the books and you were like, you could just immediately tell it's like episode one.
01:47:41.000WaffleSense says, I had a Twitter poll, I had a poll on Twitter today, and 25% of the people that took my poll were graped by Russell Brand.
01:51:26.000I couldn't imagine, you know, if it's 200, 300 years ago, just living out here, you're like, I can't wait for September when the food is just literally everywhere.
01:53:44.000I'd pay for a remastered version that has a better sound quality.
01:53:47.000Is that like an older song or something?
01:53:50.000Yeah, it's probably something we just put out too.
01:53:53.000You know, I like that song too and sometimes we go in the studio and we make what we want and it sounds really different and then it doesn't make a record or it doesn't make you You know, our plans and then eventually we put it out for our fans because it's, you get into the mode of like, why not, right?
01:54:29.000Like, well, I guess that's what people like, you know?
01:54:31.000I thought that was a danger of experimenting as a musician, is if you create an experiment that hits the top, then you're like, well, I don't know how I made that one, that crazy weird thing.
01:54:47.000I still want to write the best song in the world.
01:54:49.000Every time I go in the studio, I've got that kind of like challenge for myself.
01:54:52.000I'd love to write just the greatest song that exists at that moment in time, a timeless song.
01:54:58.000I think what scares me is what if you had your whole career Where your songs were what they were, and then you covered a song, and the cover song became your biggest song.
01:55:19.000It's so many bands, and it's good for them, but as far as my personal legacy, it would bum me out if I looked at my catalog of seven records, and the number one top most listened to songs when I didn't write, it would kind of make me be like, Yeah, man.
01:55:46.000I'm saying, like, an artist will be given a song by a production company saying, like, we wrote this song, it's really good, and you're the person to perform it.
01:56:31.000And it's fun, and it's like you're going to the actual show of the band who wrote it.
01:56:35.000Like, if you wanna go see Muse perform, you go see Muse perform.
01:56:37.000If you're hanging out with your friends and there's a bar and they have a cover band playing, it's gonna be fun, especially if they do requests.
01:56:41.000Like, I've seen, like, you guys have probably seen live band karaoke.
01:58:12.000It's like, great as an entertainer to go to, like as a musician, to go to a rock concert, because I think we learn primarily through mimicry, humans, you know, by hearing or seeing and then reproducing.
01:58:22.000So like, I hear your song, it's cool, but when I see you perform it, now I know how you did it.
01:58:36.000Like I was saying, you're throwing the jump stick in the air.
01:58:38.000Like the whole performance and everything is just, man, indescribable.
01:58:43.000I know from playing with the band for as long as we play together, we have a connection up there.
01:58:48.000Sometimes when I'm up there, I have to make it a point to start looking fans in the eyes because I'm having too much fun with my friends up there.
01:58:53.000You know, I got to be like, all right, you've been rocking out with Trevor too much.
01:59:33.000And we try to find all the things we like to do, we make sure the performance that we put on, we're having fun up there on stage, and we never lose sight of the gratitude that we have for our job.
01:59:44.000Do you guys get in a flow state when you're performing?
02:00:13.000I don't think a suit is the only way to be a professional and to look professional, because that implies that people who do business deals, CEOs, lawyers, basically, it implies that white collar is professional and nothing else.
02:00:27.000Or it implies that Blue-collar professionals are not welcome in a space, only white-collar professionals.
02:03:14.000No, we're not live, but we're on stage.
02:03:15.000So we're exclusive to the event, which I think is pretty cool.
02:03:18.000I just want to shout out Adelita Sway, Power, the newest single, or one of the newest singles, I don't know if they're all out, and I want people to check it out.
02:03:24.000I was saying on this with you guys, it was awesome, and I hope we do it again.
02:04:03.000Go to TrashHouse.com and get Bright Eyes.
02:04:05.000Some of our other songs are coming out.
