In this episode of the TimCast, we discuss the latest in the ongoing saga between the United States and Russia regarding nuclear weapons and the use of nuclear weapons. We also discuss the possibility of civil war and whether or not we should be worried about it.
00:00:26.000And I don't know if it really matters, to be honest.
00:00:29.000It was about non-proliferation, it was the New START treaty, and it was about inspections between countries, but at this point it's laughable that the treaty would even be considered in existence.
00:00:38.000So we can say Vladimir Putin, he's saying no more to this treaty, but come on.
00:00:51.000inspectors into its country when we're actively supplying military intelligence, weapons, and personnel on the ground in Ukraine in their country's border dispute.
00:01:00.000So, that being said, there's a journalist out of Russia who says the U.S.
00:01:07.000I don't know how many pundits in Russia have said they are going to use nuclear weapons.
00:01:12.000So, I don't know, one more grain of sand in the heat.
00:01:14.000And you know, it is tough every day to come in and you read the news and it's something I don't know it's increasingly inane to me to see stories of like some woke college leftist and I'm like it's been 10 years of seeing these people scream on the internet.
00:01:29.000I know I know I know for a lot of people it's funny but at the same time I'm kind of like man I'm feeling my priorities shift towards Are we going to be self-sustainable because it doesn't seem like this train is stopping?
00:01:40.000Joe Biden does a surprise secret trip to Ukraine to give him half a billion dollars, ignores the people of East Palestine.
00:01:47.000Vladimir Putin then comes out, gives his state of the nation address or whatever in Russia and says, this treaty is done.
00:01:54.000Pundits in Russia are calling for and have been for months now the use of nuclear weapons and either just shut up and stop, okay, Putin and Biden.
00:02:07.000I want to see how many episodes of IRL we're going to do talking about how they're wagging their sabers at each other, both figuratively and literally.
00:02:14.000Anyway, we'll talk about that, plus we've got a bunch of other stories.
00:02:17.000National divorce is currently trending.
00:02:19.000Because Marjorie Taylor Greene that they called for, now everyone's opining on whether or not they actually want one.
00:02:24.000What's interesting about this story is that as much as we talk about the fear or the prospects of civil war, all of a sudden now there's a big cultural debate on civil war.
00:02:34.000I mean, okay, there have been a few people who have called for it in the past.
00:02:39.000Now all of a sudden with Marjorie Taylor Greene, I suppose a federal level politician, calling for one, now we're seeing pundits be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, this is getting a little serious.
00:03:03.000I'm just going to announce it right now, and hopefully it works out, but we have a new show that is going to be on Fridays, probably going up at 1pm.
00:03:12.000We're calling it, I guess, The Culture War with Tim Pool, and it's going to be on youtube.com slash timcast.
00:03:19.000The idea for this is, I mentioned it the other day, so we'll have it up on the website as well, we'll probably have a members-only uncensored segment much the same as TeamCast IRL or something to that effect, and the general idea is there are a lot of guests that we could have on this show.
00:03:34.000There are a lot of high-profile people begging us to come on, but the issue is always, hey guys, we're a topical news and cultural commentary show that takes the top news of the day and then has a conversation around them.
00:03:46.000So if you're a scientist, a doctor, a zoologist, or some internet influencer or personality, it doesn't necessarily work.
00:03:54.000I mean, we've had some guests, many of you may even notice, are like, hey, they're not really adding a lot to the conversation.
00:03:59.000And those people will say things like, Tim, let the guest speak.
00:04:01.000And I'm like, this is the challenge with a guest that is a specialist.
00:04:05.000So we try to have them on Fridays, but even that's still a little difficult, so we decided, you know what, let's just do a new show on YouTube.com slash TimCast, which will be a two hour straight cultural conversation, not news topics segmented by, you know, 10 to 15 minutes, literally just more like Club Random or Joe Rogan or whatever.
00:04:24.000We're going to sit down, we're going to hang out, we're going to have coffee, filmed Friday morning, uploaded Friday afternoon, and this Friday we have Ali London.
00:04:30.000So if you're not familiar with Ali London, he is an influencer who decided he was trans Korean and then transgender Korean and now is detransitioned.
00:04:43.000So this is going to be a really interesting conversation.
00:04:45.000We had Ali hit us up saying that he wanted to come on Timcast IRL, or just come and talk.
00:04:51.000And I just said, you know, like the issue is, if we're talking about World War III or something, it doesn't make sense to have like a cultural influencer on the show.
00:05:02.000It'll be at youtube.com slash timcast.
00:05:03.000Plus we're going to devise some kind of members only version, additional bonus content for timcast.com.
00:05:09.000And I'm a crazy person who just keeps working and doing more and more and more, despite the fact I should probably be doing less and hiring more people to do other things.
00:05:17.000But I appreciate all of the support of all of you who help make all this possible.
00:05:21.000And, you know, hopefully this new show works out and takes off.
00:05:24.000I think we'll be able to hit on a lot of new subject matter we normally don't get to, because typically what I do is either direct article commentary on news or we bring in a guest and then talk about top news.
00:05:35.000We don't get an opportunity as often to talk about You know, crazier ideas and things that are on the periphery of modern culture stuff.
00:06:09.000I'm the founder and CEO at Minds, Minds.com, M-I-N-D-S dot com, not.
00:06:15.000I need to get Mines.com so that people don't think that we're a coal mine operation.
00:06:21.000Tim has brought that up many times before.
00:06:22.000But yeah, we're a free speech social network focused on actual First Amendment content policy.
00:06:29.000I think Twitter is slowly getting there, but they are not there, and they're still doing these interstitial content policies all over the world.
00:06:59.000It was like when it was still in pre-alpha early determination rounds and we were kind of figuring out what the hell was going to happen.
00:07:04.000You know, when we talk about the First Amendment on the internet, I think a lot of it is actually translating to ability to view and utilize code.
00:07:11.000That's your First Amendment right on the internet, because like a network controller, I think, should always have the right to ban whoever they want if they are running a network.
00:07:19.000But that doesn't mean that they should be the only one that has access to that kind of network.
00:07:43.000Russia suspends only remaining nuclear treaty with US.
00:07:47.000Russian President Vladimir Putin declared Tuesday that Moscow was suspending its participation in the new START treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the United States, sharply upping the ante amid tensions with Washington over the fighting in Ukraine.
00:08:00.000Okay, I just... Guys, it's so difficult.
00:09:13.000And then one day you walk outside and you go, oh, the grass is getting long, better mow it.
00:09:16.000And that's what's happening with this.
00:09:18.000It's incrementally getting worse, but not enough to where anybody actively is freaking out or people are shutting down government, like with protests or anything like that.
00:09:28.000And as long as they keep slow rolling it the way they do, it will just escalate to that point.
00:09:33.000It's not gonna be one day the air raid sirens go off and a nuke drops on Kiev and we're like, wow, I can't believe it's happened.
00:09:39.000By the time an actual ICBM hits a city, we're gonna be like, oh, another one?
00:09:43.000It's going to be incremental to the point where people are just like, well, that's war.
00:09:46.000I mean, look at what's going on in Ukraine right now that's been going on for a year with, you know, the air raids, the missile strikes, the misfires hitting Poland.
00:09:59.000The crazy thing to me is, 50 years from now, they will write about the Ukraine-Russia conflict, probably the NATO-Russia conflict, because it's going to escalate.
00:10:07.000We're in it right now, and it seems like nonexistent, far away.
00:10:13.000It's been so gradual that we are not shocked that there is a land war in Eastern Europe at this point.
00:10:22.000Well, and we're not even talking about the Middle East at all.
00:10:25.000So, which is not like there's nothing going on there.
00:10:29.000There's tons of stuff going on, but I think we just got this slow boil to the point where everyone is completely used to the bathwater, right?
00:10:36.000I mean, I remember writing about, you know, the months leading up before Russia invaded, there's troops on the border, there's troops on the border, there's troops on the border, Russia says it's not a big deal, Russia says it's just a military exercise, and then, like, They talked to Biden and it just went on and eventually, you know, it felt like a big moment in time, but then we continued on.
00:12:30.000You think that East Palestine, Ohio is bad?
00:12:32.000Imagine if that was intentionally done to the city nine times a day to nine different cities by a foreign government that you have no control to stop.
00:12:43.000And imagine you have one time, one time in East Palestine happens to only 5,000 people, and the president says, I will not go there, and then secretly travels to a foreign country halfway around the world to give half a billion dollars to.
00:13:01.000We could not get action on Newark and Pittsburgh.
00:13:04.000And it was the left being like, yo, fix these things.
00:13:08.000Joe Biden snaps his fingers to hop on a plane and fly to Ukraine for half a billion dollars for a country most people can't even find on the map.
00:14:06.000I have no problem with the government being like, yeah, a portion of those taxes are going to go to make sure that this disaster is cleaned up, because it's kind of like, hey, we're paying for something, right?
00:14:16.000Not only will he not go there, He'll go and give your money away to a foreign country for a war that we don't know anything about or why it's happening.
00:15:14.000Those houses are worth zero dollars now.
00:15:16.000No one is going to buy a house contaminated with vinyl chloride and, you know, whatever glycol garbage is all over the place.
00:15:24.000I think it's more than just culture, commentators.
00:15:28.000Michael Reagan, the head of the EPA, was supposed to go to a climate change tour in Africa with Idris Elba.
00:15:35.000And then on the 17th, Trump announced that he was going to go to East Palestine.
00:15:38.000On the 18th, the EPA announced that tour was cancelled.
00:15:41.000On the 19th, Reagan is like, oh, I'll be in Palestine, East Palestine this coming week, and then he announces, oh, we're going to hold Norfolk Southern accountable for what they've done.
00:15:50.000We're going to make them pay for it, which I'm not saying that company shouldn't, but this is the same federal government that said that the people of East Palestine didn't qualify for FEMA relief, right?
00:16:01.000They weren't enough of a disaster to get assistance, but then when we have An unrelenting, especially conservative-leaning media that's like, no, we want to talk about it, we want you to go there, we want you to drink the water, then eventually the EPA is like, yeah, we've got to hold that private company accountable.
00:16:15.000I'm not saying that's the wrong step, I'm just saying, why were you thinking about going to Africa to talk about climate change when we have our own disaster in our backyard?
00:16:23.000This is like, I don't think that waiting for someone to do it is gonna, they're gonna do it.
00:16:28.000But there's a technology where you can clean up oil spills with magnets.
00:17:34.000Trump, for all of the awful things people have complained about, actually cares about this country.
00:17:39.000And Joe Biden is representing some kind of occupying force that cares more about Western power expansion than the people who are doing the hard work to make this place exist.
00:17:51.000Donald Trump struck the perfect balance in my opinion.
00:18:42.000And then the worst thing is we've had rail workers threatening to strike, complaining about the safety issues, warning something like this was going to happen.
00:18:50.000We see more derailments all the time, but this was a massive disaster.
00:18:53.000The media then lies about it and says everything's fine.
00:18:57.000If you think anything's wrong with the air water, you're a right-wing conspiracy theorist.
00:19:01.000You know, you gotta listen to these railway workers, man, and you gotta look at these railroad, uh, the rail tracks, because they get warped and bent.
00:19:19.000When you see how bad these rails can get, and you realize that if we don't, when they say we need to reinvest in our infrastructure, this is what they're talking about.
00:19:27.000We need to pull these up and relay really new age, strong material.
00:20:37.000Black rockets to come in and divvy up the land.
00:20:40.000That's what they did, the Americans, in World War II, is they lent the British so much money that they had them by the balls after the war.
00:20:45.000And that's why America was so powerful after the war.
00:22:14.000500 million dollars and Americans suffering with no assistance.
00:22:19.000I think what they offered like five bucks.
00:22:21.000These contracts were given saying shut your mouth and you get what you get.
00:22:24.000Seeing these things and I'm just like is it Is it blackpilled, or is it just realism?
00:22:31.000When we say things like, we can't assume this will get worse, because that would be being blackpilled.
00:22:38.000And I'm like, now is that just being naive?
00:22:41.000You know, a lot of people say, don't be blackpilled.
00:22:42.000And I can understand like, if the context is, don't be demoralized.
00:22:47.000Don't be, you know, Like, I don't know, don't be demoralized, you know, you gotta pick it up, you gotta keep working.
00:22:56.000But what I see with stories like this, as I was saying in the intro to the show, is my priorities start, I feel a shift in my priorities.
00:23:03.000You know, is my priority now to go and warn people something's coming or is my priority now to recognize that event right now at the beginning of 2023 is That's a lightning strike.
00:23:28.000That massive explosion sound where you realize something is deeply wrong and it's not being fixed.
00:23:34.000Now, We can sit here and be like, now, now, everybody, we're going to get it next time, don't you worry.
00:23:39.000And I'm kind of like, well, I don't know, maybe, maybe these past midterms was some attempt at riding the ship.
00:23:45.000But when you have a government completely abandon a city on in the East Coast, with now we're looking at potentially 5 million people affected downstream from this, not to mention the tens of millions downwind from it, we're downwind from it.
00:24:55.000But I'm seeing this happen makes me swing back towards Trump on this, to be completely honest.
00:25:01.000Yeah, I mean, the county that this is in, Trump won twice in a row, and he won it by more during 2020.
00:25:08.000I think that this sets the narrative for 2024 pretty clearly, right?
00:25:12.000I mean, Biden, if you look back at the withdrawal from Afghanistan, right, people already felt like he didn't care about how he was taking troops out. He just wanted to be the
00:25:19.000president took us out of Afghanistan and it cost us. And now we're seeing again, how can he or any
00:25:24.000Democrat go on to say that we're the party of the environment when they would rather send money to
00:25:29.000Ukraine than to help a potential disaster in their own country. I feel like I can't comment on Trump
00:25:36.000versus Santa is very clearly yet, but I know it becomes clear that the Democrats are not
00:25:40.000saying they're not putting their money where their mouths are. We've got a new statement from
00:25:44.000former President Donald Trump. ALX tweets.
00:25:47.000Trump. World War III has never been closer than it is right now.
00:25:52.000Quote, take a look at the globalist warmonger donors backing our opponents.
00:25:56.000That's because they're candidates of war.
00:25:59.000I am the president who delivers peace and it's peace through strength.
00:26:02.000I think he's taking a swipe right there, DeSantis.
00:26:04.000But I gotta be honest, that's probably the most tactful swipe he could have taken.
00:26:08.000Ron DeSanctimonious, and they're trying to claim he called him Meatball Ron, which is way better.
00:26:14.000I gotta be honest, Meatball Ron is better than Ron DeSanctimonious, but I don't think Trump said that.
00:26:29.000World War III has never been closer than it is right now.
00:26:32.000We need to clean house of all of the warmongers and America's last globalists in the Deep State, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the National Security Industrial Complex.
00:26:45.000One of the reasons I was the only president in generations who didn't start a war is that I was the only president who rejected the catastrophic advice of many of Washington's generals, bureaucrats, and the so-called diplomats who only know how to get us into conflict, but they don't know how to get us out.
00:27:05.000For decades, we've had the very same people such as Victoria Nuland and many others just like her obsessed with pushing Ukraine toward NATO, not to mention the State Department support for uprisings in Ukraine.
00:27:21.000These people have been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the case in Iraq and other parts of the world, and now we're teetering on the brink of World War III.
00:27:33.000And a lot of people don't see it, but I see it, and I've been right about a lot of things.
00:27:37.000They all say Trump's been right about everything.
00:29:31.000And then Ron DeSantis is the guy who's like, Yeah, we're gonna do it right, we're gonna fix it, we're gonna get what people want, but that's a C-O-O, not a C-E-O.
00:30:35.000Trump, as the president, didn't have the power to force states to do anything.
00:30:39.000Arguably, he could invoke some, you know, emergency powers when it came to the summer of love.
00:30:44.000He could have, you know, invoked the Insurrection Act and shut down these riots.
00:30:48.000And if he did, could have prevented 30 plus deaths, which he should have done.
00:30:53.000But I'm just saying, man, based on his foreign policy, I kind of, I am worried, as Trump points out, DeSantis does have these warmongers, these internationalists, these investment neocon establishment shills getting behind him.
00:31:09.000I'm not going to blame DeSantis for that.
00:31:50.000My view of Trump is that there's probably a lot better people who could be president, but I really do feel like you're more likely to get a politician.
00:32:00.000You vote for Trump, and you know what you're getting, and I think he really does like this country.
00:32:06.000Do you know what you're getting, though?
00:32:07.000Because, you know, we heard a lot of love for WikiLeaks in the run-up to, you know, his presidency, but then, you know, nothing after he got elected.
00:32:17.000But he loves WikiLeaks when they're helping him.
00:34:36.000But he should be willing to, because he should want to reach these people.
00:34:41.000Yeah, but maybe if I had the ego and arrogance of Trump, and don't get me wrong, I got ego and arrogance for sure, but not enough to be like, Donald Trump should be in my studio.
00:35:24.000You know, I can be disappointed that it wasn't as much as I'd like, but I think the economy was strong under him.
00:35:29.000I think that there were a lot of positives to the Trump presidency, and COVID was a very unusual way to go out that unfortunately, you know, has put him in a weird position going into 2024.
00:35:41.000I think that the hardest thing about the Trump presidency was that he was so good at captivating his audience when he was campaigning and then when he got into the White House it's hard for me not to think that he switched out who was around him and that he was often misled by bad advice and I would be afraid going into 24 if he was elected again that he would again give seats to advisors who maybe don't have his best interests or the Best interest of his base at heart.
00:36:09.000And that is nerve-wracking as a voter to say, like, do we, do we try again?
00:36:14.000I mean, especially given that he is willing to go to East Palestine when at least two Biden officials are, were at least planning, like, Biden did leave the country the head of the EPA was going to and then was like, oh, just kidding.
00:37:40.000I'm not speaking ill of Trump's abilities.
00:37:43.000I'm saying I think DeSantis has proven very, very well that he's a good leader, but it feels to me like with a story like this, you know, I don't know.
00:37:56.000Trump feels like the guy after all this.
00:37:58.000There could be a dark horse that is completely outside the realm that we're not thinking about.
00:38:06.000In the same way that Trump was an outsider, who's someone that is intellectual and has an absolutely massive following that could come in and stir things up?
00:38:32.000Apparently Buttigieg is going, he's rushing there now.
00:38:35.000I'm telling you, the EPA, the federal government is reacting to Trump saying he was going to be there.
00:38:40.000Trump said this Friday night, and they're like, oh goodness, we have to beat him there because if he goes, Especially to a county he won twice, in a state he won twice, and then is like, I am here for you, and the Biden administration is not.
00:38:52.000In fact, not even the Biden administration, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, anyone who might seek to replace Biden, it's an unbeatable moment for Trump, and it would mean a lot to the people who voted for him in the first place.
00:39:04.000Trump should show up with a checkbook and just start writing thousand-dollar checks to locals.
00:39:11.000Oh, no, you can be like, shout out to Benny.
00:39:13.000Benny Johnson did it first, but it was a tremendous idea, so we're going to do it.
00:39:17.000I bet a lot of these people were getting advice that in the last two weeks, if you go there and there's dioxins in the air, you could very well get lymphoma, some sort of skin cancer and die, like that could end your life kind of fear.
00:39:28.000I think there's a lot of that, which is even more sickening that there has been radio silence.
00:39:32.000They wouldn't have been so scared that they would have stayed outside the town, probably, and at least even going to the general area would have helped them.
00:39:38.000So I don't think that they were actually concerned for their Health.
00:39:43.000I actually didn't want to go because I was like, I don't want to breathe that in.
00:39:46.000There's a picture that the Ohio EPA put up of like they're the director of the Ohio EPA, the lieutenant governor of Ohio, like holding plastic cups with water in them.
00:39:55.000They're like, they're drinking the water.
00:39:57.000But I was I just kept thinking, why isn't it a video?
00:40:24.000But there's a viral, it's trending on Twitter with now many conservatives and libertarians saying national divorce is a very, very bad idea because it would just mean that China stomps out what's left of the U.S.
00:40:39.000Some people are calling it a delusion saying the country is mostly blue cities with red rural areas.
00:40:45.000My attitude is I don't know about need a national divorce.
00:40:48.000I know Michael Mills talks quite a bit about it, but I just know that the divide between cities and rural areas or red areas and blue areas is so different.
00:40:58.000It is completely different dimensions of perception and reality.
00:41:06.000In California with open borders with child sex changes with limitless abortion that is it is drifted so far away from where traditional Americans are where even moderate like liberal types are that.
00:41:21.000There's no bringing that back together.
00:41:24.000So you can argue we can't have a national divorce and it's like sure.
00:41:28.000How does a country exist when two states have laws that are so divergent and cultural views are so divergent they're ready to start shooting each other?
00:42:43.000I mean, the Roman Empire collapsed, you had the Dark Ages, and then, you know, things, we had a Renaissance, we had a Golden Age, things got better.
00:42:49.000I mean, granted, there were plagues and war and other things like that, but it's an ebb and flow.
00:42:52.000You can't expect all of life on the planet to always be sittin' in your lounge chair, eatin' a bowl of nachos, watchin' a football game.
00:43:00.000There's gonna be hardship, especially when weak men make hard times, but then hard men, hard times will make strong men.
00:43:07.000What I see right now is, we have the unfortunate privilege of being All of you listening, the strong men in the bad time.
00:43:19.000Weak men have made a bad time, and we are now getting to what may be the bottom of it.
00:43:23.000Maybe it gets worse, but then it's going to require strong men, people like you watching, to do what it takes to fortify, defend, expand, protect the ideals that we care about.
00:43:36.000For all of the insanity in this country when it comes to the culture war with far-left psychotic individuals, with weird gender ideology, we all know that stuff can't survive.
00:43:47.000The Soviet Union lasted, what, 69 years?
00:44:02.000In the event these lunatics start destroying our institutions, and they are, in the event the institutions crumble, their ideas will cease to exist because they only exist within the confines of this protective bubble.
00:44:16.000And then, strong individuals will just pick things back up, get back to work, and preserve the ideals of individual liberty, freedom, etc.
00:44:27.000Except what happened with Atlantis, there are situations where we could completely annihilate everything and start from the ground, start from rock bottom, literally the Stone Age, where we need to figure out how to carve metal with rock.
00:44:38.000Yeah, but if that occurred, that wasn't self-inflicted.
00:44:41.000That we know of, but it might have been.
00:44:43.000They might have had some sort of vibrational technology that lowered the Earth's magnetic field and allowed meteors to land on the planet.
00:45:05.000But regardless, I mean, now we need to channel resources effectively towards the causes that we believe in.
00:45:13.000And, you know, some people call it parallel economy.
00:45:16.000There's this whole concept of a network state that Balaji has come up with a really interesting book sort of about how, you know, social networks, online communities are going to crowdsource, particularly with crypto, because, you know, that is a fully independent outside economic structure.
00:45:34.000And so we're already building up the parallel world and it's going to happen simultaneously, like this idea that there's going to be some sort of like It's just not all going to happen at once.
00:45:49.000It's going to happen slowly over time, and we're seeing the alternatives build up.
00:45:53.000So there's all kinds of sustainable conscious communities all over the world that are tuning in to how to do things the right way.
00:45:59.000So I think that what you're saying, Tim, solutions are happening.
00:46:18.000I think it's nice to live through prosperous times, but I think as an individual you have more influence during difficult times, right?
00:46:25.000The way you choose to live your life during challenges and the values that you choose to fight for and the changes you choose to make for your life, you know, right now if this is a difficult time, they are more likely to determine the course of your personal history as well as your family's history as well as your community's history.
00:46:40.000I mean, this is the time that you have the chance to make the biggest difference just by the way you choose to live and demonstrate your values.
00:46:48.000I like to a certain degree the hard times.
00:46:51.000I don't like the idea that people have to suffer.
00:46:54.000Like the idea of saying like, oh hard times are great.
00:46:55.000It's like, yeah, that means people are doing really bad.
00:46:57.000It's like when Bill Maher said, if a recession will stop Trump, then bring on the recession.
00:47:27.000It means, to a certain degree, conflict, like political conflict, not violence.
00:47:31.000I'm talking about going to a meeting and a guy like, no, your policy on this is wrong.
00:47:35.000I prefer a society of people who are constantly fighting for what is best because it's the sedentary, it's the lazy, it's the inactive which results in real hard times.
00:47:45.000When the food goes missing, when the crime runs rampant, that's what we're seeing right now.
00:47:48.000This is multiculturalism, ladies and gentlemen.
00:47:50.000This is what happens when the utopia of multiculturalism comes to your country.
00:47:56.000This idea that they try to make it seem like multiculturalism is when people of different backgrounds all live together in harmony.
00:48:03.000What it really means is the values you have aren't shared by your neighbors, which means they don't know and they don't care about you.
00:48:09.000So when you say something like, I believe in free speech, they go, no.
00:48:13.000Then your government decides the lowest common denominator is the way things are to be run, and that means no free speech because then someone's going to get mad somewhere.
00:48:22.000You've got to maintain an overarching culture, a parent culture, of the content we like, the things we agree on, the things we disagree on, the things that are illegal, the things that are legal, and then underneath that, say a U.S.
00:48:33.000Constitution that guarantees free speech, oh, you can believe whatever you want to believe.
00:48:37.000You can live in an area called Ukrainian Village in Chicago or Chinatown, where you are mostly surrounded by people who come from the same place as you.
00:48:45.000You can speak about the ideas you want.
00:48:47.000Your culture can exist underneath the U.S.
00:50:05.000Like, the idea of a melting pot is nice, and it's a good metaphor in a lot of respects, but it negates the fact that people have to actively choose to want to become part of the American cultural fabric.
00:50:18.000And I think that that's not true for everyone.
00:50:20.000I think being in a new geographic space isn't the same thing as Wanting to be a part of a new experience, right?
00:50:27.000That's why when you talk about early immigration to America, I think like Ellis Island and everything, like, there are people who had their cultures, but they also wanted to be here because there was a dream and there was a vision.
00:50:35.000And I don't know that our culture as a society has that same sort of desire to blend.
00:50:40.000Well, there's people all over Earth that would be make better Americans than a lot of people that are in the country right now that are actual citizens because that's their beliefs are.
00:50:49.000I have video chats with people in other countries that are smarter and more adept than You know, the beer drinking football lovers, no offense, that's you, but if you've got a beer gut, you're a problem.
00:51:00.000Well, and in terms of who is co-opting the culture, I mean, if you look at OpenAI and Chad GPT and all the search engines, you know, basically, they are engineering culture.
00:51:37.000And your data, your data, your data is all in there, feeding it, making it more valuable to them.
00:51:42.000So I think we need to sue OpenAI on some sort of class action lawsuit so that they share revenue with The people whose data they're actually using and you know, we obviously need something that is uncensored on the side and unbiased even though that is going to be a chaotic animal that is going to be just as offensive, but it does need to exist.
00:52:06.000Let's put a tag in that one and talk about AI, but we have breaking news right now.
00:52:10.000This just happened apparently on Tucker Carlson.
00:52:28.000And then, literally, like, as you were saying this, it's like 8.20, so it's about half an hour ago, conservative author and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy announced Tuesday he is running for president in the 2024 race.
00:52:39.000I'm assuming as a Republican if he's launching on Tucker.
00:52:41.000Quote, we're in the middle of this national identity crisis, Tucker, where we have celebrated our diversity and our differences for so long.
00:52:48.000That we forgot all the ways we really are the same as Americans, bound by a common set of ideals that set this nation into motion 250 years ago.
00:52:57.000I'm proud to say I'm running for United States President to revive those ideals in this country, those basic rules of the road, meritocracy, the idea you get ahead in this country, not in the color of your skin, but in the content of your character.
00:53:09.000Our diversity is meaningless if nothing greater binds us together.
00:53:14.000I like the guy, we've had him on the show before, but I gotta be honest.
00:53:17.000Uh, DeSantis is as close as you can get to competition to Donald Trump, and even then, it's a long shot.
00:53:23.000I mean, we see polls that go back and forth, but Trump is consistently the guy, and I think the reason is Trump woke up a lot of voters who did not vote before, but now are, and they are loyal to Trump.
00:53:34.000You also need someone with hundreds of millions of followers to have any chance to come out of nowhere.
00:53:39.000So you need a mega-influencer like The Rock or someone like that.
00:53:46.000On that level, I'm not saying that he should.
00:54:00.000Not everyone wants to be president, but some people want to launch a presidential campaign, get the exposure, and then produce another book or get a, you know, show on a Fox or whatever they're doing.
00:54:08.000I want to be like, we are diverting funds to East Palestine.
00:54:11.000We're going to use some experimental technology and see if we can pull these chemicals out of the river with magnets.
00:55:13.000Because like, if you don't repurpose the war, because I'd be like, okay, Lockheed, we're going to repurpose the weapons, let's blow some chemicals up on Mars and heat up the atmosphere.
00:55:19.000But they might be like, well, if we do that, then the Chinese are going to take Taiwan, the Russians are going to take Crimea.
00:56:02.000No, the thing is, I think that John Dutton, when he accepts that he's going to be governor, like, I am the wall that progress smashes against speech.
00:56:36.000But that's what's interesting about his character.
00:56:38.000Like, the things that he is villainized for wanting, you actually also sympathize with.
00:56:42.000Like, he wants to protect his family's legacy.
00:56:44.000I'm not totally kidding when I say John Dutton would be a good VP pick, like someone who is dedicated to ideals that Americans feel like have been lost, right?
00:56:53.000Someone who can openly say that like, I put my family first, I put my community first, that would really be powerful.
00:57:01.000I think one of the downsides of Trump is that he is a celebrity, he is extremely wealthy, I mean, Pence, there's no way he comes back with Pence, right?
00:57:09.000And the other thing is that Pence hit the Christian conservative Midwest, you know, triangulate that they wanted, but he wasn't enough of a personality to balance Trump.
00:57:18.000And I think that is why they picked him.
00:57:19.000On the other hand, Americans want to know that there are other people like Trump.
00:57:35.000If it's Trump DeSantis on the ticket, we're talking 49 state landslide here.
00:57:40.000Okay, now in all seriousness, you go ahead and clip that Media Matters or whoever else.
00:57:44.000I think that you'll see a decent point swing, you might see like a, you know, like, like a 51% or some It's not gonna be 49, 49, 49.5, 49.8 or whatever.
00:58:22.000I mean, I like Tulsi, but I think she would be a cabinet member.
00:58:28.000Man, okay, we got a year or so, but you come to me and you say Donald Trump is running with DeSantis as a VP, Tulsi Gabbard is campaigning for them, planning to be a national security advisor, and I'm just like, whew!
00:58:44.000Swoon for that administration, you know what I mean?
00:58:46.000It's not perfect, but I talked about this with- I think that this, sorry, this just shows how used we are to having bad leaders.
01:00:21.000I think there'll be a push for Kristi Noem because she's young, conservative, female, she's from South Dakota.
01:00:29.000I think you're right, DeSantis is the strongest choice, but if we're just saying who else might come up.
01:00:34.000And again, she's someone who could have a nice political future, she's very loyal to Trump, but I think DeSantis It adds to the legacy of, like, the MAGA movement.
01:00:44.000People who are really behind Trump 100% feel strongly about the call to MAGA, America First, don't know who takes up the crown after Trump runs out of chances to be in office, right?
01:00:55.000Like, if he's re-elected, that's his last term.
01:00:57.000And so naming DeSantis as your VP or again someone young someone who seems like they can carry forth this movement that is a vote for the future for the people who believe in this movement because they saw what happens if there isn't someone to take Donald Trump's place.
01:01:12.000It's also interesting, like, remember the Unity project that Brian Weinstein did?
01:01:19.000Yeah, they got censored, but it's also just sad how such a well-intentioned project just, like, doesn't gain steam, you know?
01:01:27.000It's like, because unless you ride the divide and just take advantage of the hyper-politicization on each side, like, for some reason just being balanced is not interesting to people.
01:01:39.000I think it's like we're in the sports team mentality, though.
01:01:42.000You have to vote, you have to get really excited about your candidate, and they have to have a brand, and they have to feel like you're really buying into something.
01:01:48.000And when you're neutral, when you want to hear both sides of the argument, when you want to just advise people to come together, it doesn't feel competitive.
01:01:56.000And although we need it, and although it's important, it doesn't win votes the same way.
01:02:03.000You think that's just because, well I think it's because the media wants division, divisiveness to sell clicks and to generate the war fervor.
01:02:11.000Whether it's the person that you hate or the person that's doing their bidding, they want one of those guys in the spotlight.
01:02:16.000Yeah, I was looking at a bunch of YouTube content and stuff and, man, it is demoralizing quite a bit.
01:02:26.000I see so much content on Twitter and on YouTube and on Facebook that is beyond clickbait hyperbole, right?
01:02:34.000I know, like, you know, the title of this video right now is like, Russia Ends Last Nuclear Treaty, Trump Warns of World War III.
01:02:40.000Those are literal things that happened.
01:02:42.000You know, I didn't put the headline, World War 3 is now.
01:02:58.000But, man, I got scruples, and I'm looking at a lot of people, and they'll get more views by saying something more like, World War III just started, Vladimir Putin threatens to nuke after dissolving treaty, Donald Trump is terrified, or something, like, really just driving it.
01:03:13.000Like, the example I see often is, like, some dude will, you know, trip and fall, and then the video will be titled, Dude Gets Into Horrific Accident, Grotesque Injuries, Morbid, and then you click it, and it's a guy, like, rubbing his shin, because he bumped it into a curb or something.
01:03:26.000It's like, the stuff that gets attention, what everyone's striving for is the most extreme headline.
01:03:32.000And so one of the problems we have right now with news, in order to attract attention, you have to one-up yourself every single time.
01:03:38.000Thus, the narrative emerging on Twitter is increasingly getting unhinged, and we're addicted, we need more, we need more to trigger that dopamine.
01:03:46.000I mean, we've honestly experienced this exact issue at Mines because, you know, we've always been very balanced.
01:03:53.000Actually, our initial wave of growth was tons of progressives, like people following Edward Snowden and people who are like, you know, with Anonymous and all of that stuff.
01:04:01.000And then, you know, after Trump got elected, we got a huge wave of conservatives and libertarians.
01:04:05.000So we actually do have this very balanced user base, which is very different than the other conservative social networks like, you know, Parler, Gab, Truth, you know, those kinds of things, which are very specifically political.
01:05:07.000And then all of a sudden, one by one, all of the states, 100% reporting, 100% reporting, but only a couple hundred thousand or a million are between Trump and Biden.
01:05:14.000And then all of a sudden they're like, we're just getting this right now, a third name.
01:05:18.000And then it's Ron Paul, and he gets 80% of every state, and somehow they're like, people just wrote his name in, and then we get Ron Paul.
01:05:32.000I'm just like, you know, because people are chatting, talking about Trump, DeSantis, Gabbard, and I'm like, yeah, but deep down, everybody would be like, Ron Paul.
01:06:27.000I'm just saying, like, if we're truly talking about who we would want to be president, anybody who actually cares about this country, I would assume even many Trump supporters, would probably be like, yeah, if we could have Ron Paul, we'd take Ron Paul.
01:06:44.000I think he's that degree of, but I know that he's anti-intervention.
01:06:47.000I know that he wants to end the Fed, all of these things that generally will make things better for the working class.
01:06:52.000I don't completely agree with him, and I'm not trying to sit here and be like, I think Ron Paul's a perfect guy.
01:06:56.000He's just the I'm-gonna-leave-you-alone guy and bring things back to the American people, back to the way things in this country are supposed to be run.
01:07:01.000And it's interesting that Rand kind of doesn't fully have the fire of Ron, even though Rand... He's only half a Ron.
01:07:47.000is massively well-known, famous, with millions of followers.
01:07:51.000Ten, twenty more years, I think he certainly could be someone to take the place of his dad.
01:07:55.000There are a lot of people, I don't want to call anybody out or anything like that, but there are famous musicians who have kids and you're like, eh.
01:08:42.000It's this idea of people who are born in New York who are born to wealthy families, they walk out their front door to a black car waiting for them.
01:09:14.000I just mean, there's a distinct, there's a difference between people who are born wealthy and how they live their lives and the average person.
01:09:23.000I feel like he was like the best of a pool of terrible candidates and people just were missing daddy because they didn't have strong father figures in 2016, so he was what was there.
01:11:22.000It's like every president has always lied about selling weapons to these Middle Eastern countries.
01:11:28.000Donald Trump comes out when the Saudis are decimating Yemen and there's a major humanitarian crisis and just says, but it's okay, we're going to make a ton of money.
01:11:37.000It's going to be great for the US economy.
01:13:48.000But I really, really do feel in my heart of hearts, if Trump was president right now, East Palestine would have been taken care of in an instant.
01:14:43.000He starts laughing, he goes, no, but seriously, that's people they already are.
01:14:45.000Yeah, imagine if Joe had that attitude in 2020 in the run up to the election, and he told everybody, guys, Biden is not gonna help you on this one.
01:14:54.000Trump may be far from perfect, but Joe, I understand, he's not a culture warrior.
01:14:58.000So it's unfortunate that There's that opportunity for influence that would have left us all better off.
01:15:44.000But Look, man, you can complain about Donald Trump all day and night, but there is still no question that if Trump was in office, we'd be better off.
01:15:53.000I'll say I'm happy to have a conversation with Donald Trump, and I want to work with him if he's really serious about this, because I know Steve Bannon.
01:16:01.000I know I know people that run with Donald.
01:16:03.000Like, God, who else have we had on the show?
01:16:57.000It's just we gotta walk through the dark forest, right?
01:16:59.000It's like you're walking down a path and then all of a sudden there's a bunch of creepy looking trees and creepy eyes and everything around you and you're like, okay, well this is gonna suck, but we have to do it.
01:17:08.000And then eventually we'll come out on the other side and there will be, you know, spring flowers and beautiful, beautiful trees and flowing fields or rolling hills or whatever.
01:17:51.000I take a look at where humanity is right now with all the good things we have and all the bad things we've done away with and I'm like, wow, humanity has overcome every challenge set before it.
01:18:04.000The night is always darkest before the dawn, and we may be entering one of the darkest nights we've faced in a long time, but if history can teach us anything, it's that we will triumph and succeed.
01:18:14.000Unfortunately for all of us, the weak men will be leading us into very dark times for which we will have to struggle through, and we don't get the luxurious period like, you know, the past couple generations.
01:18:27.000We're gonna have to really fight hard for this one.
01:18:50.000And not to mention, now we have unprecedented technology to enable us to do that independently, like, and build sort of a side civilization, regardless of what anybody wants.
01:19:01.000So it's not really up for debate anymore.
01:19:03.000There's a whole new system that's being built.
01:20:01.000So, humanity did continue on even if we did lose those two things.
01:20:04.000I think that in times of Yes, some things will change and some things will not be sustained, but I don't think it's just like, oh, it's all over.
01:20:14.000I mean, I think you see, you were talking about this earlier, you see evolution shift over time.
01:20:18.000As some things are starting to fall apart, they're already being replaced by structures that exist.
01:20:23.000It's not like we go through a period where everything falls apart, there's nothing, and then we start again.
01:20:57.000But we get rid of the bad as a tendency towards good and removal of bad.
01:21:01.000You can look through history and it has always been that way.
01:21:05.000Ian, I nominate you to lead the excavation of the Rishat structure and find the secret time capsule that exists underneath it so that we can find the secrets.
01:21:50.000I want to launch this topic on AI with this segment.
01:21:53.000We have this tweet from Deplorable for Trump 2024, saying Biden was caught on a damning hot mic in Poland after commenting on three UFOs shot down, saying, you think any of these guys bought that bullish?
01:22:42.000People are saying it's fake and it's like, well, you can say it's fake, but how do you prove a negative?
01:22:49.000You would think that there would be some kind of signature detection that you could run on an actual deep fake piece of media that would be able to detect it.
01:22:59.000Except you could auto-generate fake voices and video and then recompress or render it so that it smooths all those things out.
01:24:21.000Wow, can you believe Joe Biden said that?
01:24:24.000No, I think Andrew is just making fun of the fact that people believed that that clip was real.
01:24:30.000Yeah, I mean, the problem is that everyone's going to have the ability to sort of deny things that they really said and claim that it's deepfake.
01:25:39.000I tell you this right now, when it comes to civil cases, judge is outright gonna be like, I don't know, I saw a video.
01:25:45.000And you're going to beg and be like, that is not real.
01:25:48.000Well, and instead of being presumed innocent, right, the person who's being accused is going to have to bring in a bunch of experts to be like, this is where you can see possibly whatever, if they even can.
01:25:57.000And so it becomes a very difficult system.
01:26:00.000It becomes faster to just set out of court, especially in a civil case.
01:26:03.000And then you're going to get cases where someone's going to actually say something.
01:26:08.000And then their lawyer's gonna be like, you're in trouble, you said this on recording.
01:26:12.000Let's find a forensic expert who will testify it's a deepfake.
01:26:16.000They go to the first forensic guy and he goes, that's a real recording.
01:26:18.000They go to the next guy, that's a real recording.
01:26:20.000They go to 20 guys and they all say, that's a real recording.
01:26:22.000Finally they find one guy who says, how much are you paying me to go and testify?
01:26:44.000Is there any precedent so far with that actually happening?
01:26:51.000I have heard stories where there's been nothing substantive.
01:26:57.000There's just scuttlebutt murmuring because the deepfake stuff is new.
01:27:01.000But, you know, let me just say I've heard stories.
01:27:05.000So you think where it's going is that media admissibility as evidence is going to kind of go out the window?
01:27:12.000Do you, like, is it, is it even, is it, are we just gonna go back in time?
01:27:15.000Where it's all, like, it's so pervasive that it becomes not even admissible.
01:27:22.000Deepfake technology is going to get so good that video evidence and audio evidence will probably become inadmissible in my opinion.
01:27:29.000You'll go to Cornell Beck, here's a video of the guy, of the murderer stabbing someone, and he'll go, that's not real, that was AI generated.
01:27:36.000And an expert's gonna come in and say, please, to the jury, please, this is clearly a fake video, watch.
01:27:42.000And then there will be like an artifact or something in the video and I'll say, see that blemish?
01:27:47.000I have been doing this work for 20 years.
01:28:23.000You could have a network of cameras that are all taking an image of something that, upon review, you'd see the angles of all the cameras, where they're located, where the action is happening, the guy's body as he's punching the woman on the ground or whatever.
01:28:35.000Because police body cams are gonna be like, nope, deepfake, can't use it.
01:28:39.000Home security cameras, nope, deepfake, can't use it.
01:28:41.000But if you have eight security cameras all trying, or all angulating at one thing, and you can verify that each one verifies all the other ones, you would have to either argue the entire network has been deepfaked, Or you have to accept it as admissible.
01:28:53.000You can easily deepfake any camera angles.
01:28:55.000If they were off-network, if they were unrelated cameras that weren't on a similar network, you'd have to prove each of them was fake.
01:29:03.000When we play video games, we have created a 3D environment of the character walking around.
01:29:09.000You can set vantage points in 50 different locations, And then you can, in Skater XL, you can do a kickflip, stop time, and then spin the camera all around him.
01:29:21.000If I wanted to, I can play it front to back 50 times from 50 different angles and be like, look, I have 50 different cameras showing all the same thing.
01:29:38.000Apparently, Facebook and Google have been intentionally holding back a lot of the text-to-video prompts technology because of how disruptive it is.
01:29:49.000Have you seen the text-to-video AI being advertised?
01:30:18.000Because to me, this sounds horrible and it's gonna make everyone's lives worse, but if you like this kind of technology, what's your argument for it?
01:30:26.000I mean, as an artistic tool, it's undeniably powerful.
01:30:30.000Because you're not creating anything yourself, it's creating it for you.
01:31:30.000We can look up whatever we want to at any moment.
01:31:33.000And that's kind of what it is enabling, you know, we're seeing with ChatGPT and others, but that's heavily censored and ideological.
01:31:41.000So what would be the benefit of, like, Deep faking someone's voice like what what does that technology?
01:31:46.000Allow us to do because to me it only seems like it can be used for malicious purposes No, I mean for comedy for art like there's definitely use what's his name Kyle Dunn again?
01:31:57.000He does he does the funniest it's like it's very bad quality deep fake stuff of Joe Biden.
01:32:04.000Oh Yeah, not of Joe Biden, but of everybody.
01:34:09.000So if 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 at TimCast.com.
01:34:15.000We're gonna have that members-only, uncensored show coming up at about 11.
01:34:19.000Actually, we're gonna do it live, right?
01:34:22.000Uh, yeah, the plan is to do it live on the website, uh, specifically, but we'll see how that goes.
01:34:26.000We are going to try to do the member segment as a live stream, which means as soon as we wrap up tonight around 10, we're going to then go to the website, load up a live stream, and, uh, I guess you guys have tested it out, it works already, or what?
01:35:00.000So go to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, and then this is going to be our trial run for doing the members only portion as a members only live stream through Rumble, which should be really fun.
01:35:13.000This means that we're going to be, we normally do the uncensored show, but it means we'll be able to interact with you guys who are members in real time and you can Uncensored, not so family friendly.
01:35:23.000So I think that the real time commentary, one of the things that I think makes this show work is that we've got your comments and super chats in real time.
01:36:46.000I don't know, but we really got to do that Cast Castle Yellowstone parody where we're chicken ranchers and they're trying to come and take our land, you know.
01:36:54.000Babyleg Bennett says, yo, saw your episode earlier.
01:36:57.000If you're looking for a new place to set up a shop, Western Kansas is it.
01:37:00.000No nuke targets here and land is fairly cheap.
01:37:59.000We drove a long time with no... And then the best part was when the road was completely covered in ice, and there's no one around for hundreds of miles, and I'm driving a Honda Civic Hybrid on just sheets of ice, and I'm like, the car's sliding a little bit, and I'm like, oh, well, you know, we're gonna crash, and then no one will find us for weeks.
01:39:31.000Maybe like Bennett says, I say you start a charity membership, 10 bucks a month, and we vote as a group monthly on who to donate to, and I motion for the first donation to go to East Palestine since the Feds won't help.
01:40:17.000But for some reason, 3,796 all said East Palestine.
01:40:21.000The algorithm just pulls it and gives us a chart of all of the top requests.
01:40:24.000And then we say, hey, the number one requested, you know, But if it was like $1,000, $10,000 ones and one guy puts $10,000 in, would his vote count as much as the $1,000, $10,000?
01:40:31.000All of the funds that went in today will be donated to the people of the city.
01:41:09.000as what you're saying, but you could do it manually through a non-profit.
01:41:12.000Over in the members chat, Noah Sanders says, non-profit, we'll have that in about three years, just like the fact-checking non-profit, Tim Cass.
01:41:20.000You are correct, it exists, but the problem is, in order to accept donations, you have to register in each state that would accept donations.
01:41:28.000There's a bunch of stuff we're dealing with, but yo, non-profits are hard to do.
01:42:11.000There are some conservative commentators that intentionally produce content they know the left will make fun of, because it gets them in the algorithm and makes them famous.
01:42:20.000One of the most beneficial things to any commentator is if everyone's talking about you.
01:42:24.000So if you can get, like, Hassan, for instance, to talk about you ten times, then the left and the right are talking about you.
01:42:30.000YouTube says, this is something people like, show it to everybody.
01:42:33.000As Jimmy Dore said, a broad appeal, but not the way he intended it.
01:42:38.000But so, you know, you just got to say something that's easily baitable, like,
01:42:44.000I want Vladimir Putin to nuke Ukraine already. Just be done with it, you know?
01:42:51.000Ukraine should be nuked and if you said something like that, you know, they could take that clip out of context and then
01:42:57.000tell everybody that you know, Tim pool called for Nuking ukraine and it doesn't matter what the context is
01:43:04.000like for example if someone were to say something like We must nuke ukraine
01:43:10.000Vladimir Putin is the greatest president of all time.
01:43:58.000And I'm like, dude, you could have someone be like, you know, Ian walked in the other day and he went to me and he goes, I do not like chocolate ice cream.
01:44:08.000And then I was like, are you kidding me?
01:44:30.000It's one of the most demoralizing things about the internet is that you can see every day people like Sam Seder, the Young Turks, lying about the opinions of people on the show because it gets clicks for them.
01:44:41.000Maybe we should build a tool where the person at hand in the content can at least Tag it or something to indicate that it's out of context or something, so that without taking it down, without violating free speech, there's still some sort of indication from the people involved.
01:45:22.000Not easy to do, but I don't know how you navigate this stuff, man, to be honest.
01:45:25.000The Young Turks, basically, that's what they do.
01:45:28.000I don't know if Cenk basically retired and he's just like tired of actually being involved in politics, but this is the route they've gone.
01:45:34.000They've gone the route of just say what the left wants to hear so they'll click on it, we can go to bed.
01:45:43.000It'd be so much more fun as hell time to go live in a van down by the river, and then there's probably people like Jancor, like after 20 years of doing this.
01:45:52.000I mean, the guy, they had, what did Jimmy Dore say?
01:45:54.000They had upskirting shots on their website and stuff.
01:45:56.000Now they're just saying whatever they think the left wants to hear, because it gets them just enough money so that he can, he's retired basically.
01:46:44.000When I was in like 7th or 8th grade, we studied calories by burning peanuts and you time how long you do the math to calculate how many joules of energy.
01:46:52.000Sorry science teachers, I'm not doing a great job.
01:46:54.000But now I think, how could you burn peanuts?
01:46:56.000Like that's crazy that we just burned peanuts because peanut allergies are so prevalent.
01:47:01.000Jimbo says, I am disgusted by how ignorant and complacent we Americans have become.
01:47:06.000It's 110% our fault as a populace for everything our government is doing.
01:47:10.000per se, we know better, but low-info people, it's an enraging black pill.
01:47:15.000But, as I was saying earlier, that way of life, the ignorance, can't survive in the long run because it's not self-sustainable.
01:47:23.000So after everything comes crashing down, those who do pay attention, do know, and do care, and have prepared, will take the reins and rebuild.
01:47:36.000Timothy Rhodes says, Tim, what do you think about the idea of a divorce of city-states versus actual states, kind of like the Vatican City?
01:47:43.000Let SF, Chicago, New York, Portland, Seattle become city-states.
01:47:45.000No resources, sure, but not our problem.
01:48:15.000One of the reasons is that they held a vote when the young men went to go fight in the Confederate Army.
01:48:22.000So you have a region of Virginia, They take all their young men and say, go join and go fight for the Confederates, because you're Virginia.
01:48:31.000Then, once the pro-Confederate side are fighting, all that's left in the city are the anti-war, unwilling to fight, don't want civil war, and they all vote.
01:48:42.000Well, of course, then, they vote to stay in the Union.
01:48:47.000It's not completely why it happened, but that's a component.
01:48:50.000And there was a lawsuit where after the Civil War ended, Virginia said, hey, they voted while the young voting population were, half of them were gone.
01:50:03.000And it's because they banked people instantly overnight.
01:50:07.000All of a sudden all these poor people had access to digital transactions and they were given currency in Bitcoin to actually spend and the economy just went and all of a sudden people are trading with each other.
01:50:24.000He's the president, and he can't just come up here to, you know... But we've actually... I'll put it this way.
01:50:30.000The answer is yes, but the terms are, how do we figure out how do we do it?
01:50:33.000So the interest is... I don't want to speak on behalf of the El Salvadoran administration, Let's just say intermediaries we talked to said they absolutely could get us an interview with him.
01:50:59.000But the challenge is like, Our booking system is real-time, so we might get hit up by someone who's like, hey, I can come March at this time, and we do, and then we have the calendars speckled with guests, and it's like, which week do we isolate for El Salvador?
01:51:14.000We have to plan it way in advance, so.
01:51:16.000Maybe, I don't know, June or something.
01:51:18.000Yeah, we get the president one day, we get Max and Stacey one day, we could probably fly Ben Stewart down.
01:51:23.000I mean, we could fly a few people down there with us for the week and work from there, and they could be on the show.
01:51:27.000It sounds like a better idea for the new show that I'm doing.
01:51:30.000Where we don't have to worry about topical news segments and conversations.
01:51:34.000A lot of people seem to think this show is, for some reason, like Joe Rogan.
01:51:39.000People say, why doesn't the guest talk more?
01:51:41.000And I'm like, because it's five people in a room talking about current news, and 20% of the conversation will come from the guest, if that.
01:51:48.000So, but the friday show is going to be once a week, two hours long probably, and the idea
01:51:58.000there is one on one hangout conversations.
01:52:02.000You know, so that means the Timcast news stuff that I do in my monologue kind of will be
01:52:26.000We've got some famous musicians who want to come on.
01:52:28.000A lot of people that are, you'd be surprised, famous celebrities don't want to do a news show but would talk about this stuff in an interview show.
01:52:41.000I don't want to say anybody's name because I don't want to scare them off.
01:52:44.000We're booking some big names, but they're basically like, oh, I couldn't do IRL because you guys talk about the news, politics, politicians.
01:52:50.000I can talk to you about my experiences with wokeness and stuff, but does it fit this format?
01:52:55.000And so now we got this new show and they're like, oh yeah, that sounds great.
01:55:00.000I don't think it would be a bad thing for him to be a VP, but I think there are enough people who don't want Trump to run that, and I don't know DeSantis at all, but it could be easy to be talked into like, no, you don't want to be VP because then you're always second fiddle to Trump and this, that, and the other.
01:55:14.000Like, he could, I don't know, but I suspect he could be talked into seeing it as a negative when it really wouldn't be.
01:55:19.000I look at DeSantis and I think on the scale of presidentiality, with one being the lowest and ten being the best, or let's say one being the best and ten being the lowest, I don't know, whatever.
01:56:41.000I think most people get into politics because they're mediocre people, and that's their path towards the limelight.
01:56:46.000Hardworking people who want to build something?
01:56:49.000They'll do it the hard way and they'll get to a position of freedom, success, liberty, etc.
01:56:54.000And then you have people, not every single one, don't get me, I'm not trying to insult every, I think there's a handful of really good politicians who really do want to do good and this is their vehicle, but a lot of them are just like, I'm not worth anything, my business isn't that big, I'm not famous, I'll run for office.
01:57:23.000And like, there are all kinds of rules to, like, what you can do, how you can spend your money, where you can go, your time has to be accounted for, you have to be in your district certain amount of time.
01:57:29.000Like, I think that there are a lot of people who are great and have a lot of positive effect who don't necessarily want to give up the things that people who become the president have to give up.
01:57:51.000Rundell Schmidt says, Tim, I think you should do some kind of fundraiser for all the people affected from the train derailment.
01:57:56.000I think you could really raise a lot to help.
01:57:59.000What we would need to do is find a charity or non-profit that does that, and then we could do a show where we're like, let's see how much money we can raise for them.
01:58:07.000We don't have the legal capacity to accept money for anybody like that, so we couldn't do it.
01:58:11.000I also want to just, as an aside, mention there are now bocus emojis and golden rooster emojis available to members in the chat on YouTube.
01:58:22.000So if you want to, people are posting, I see people posting little bocus faces.
01:59:59.000And that's why I said I don't want to single out Trump, because, you know, on the golf course, obviously, he's walking, too, outside of military school.
02:00:04.000But there are people who are born to wealthy families who probably have not walked a mile.
02:00:33.000So he says he knew nothing about it, but that was a lie because he used to love them.
02:00:37.000Now he pretends like he doesn't know anything about it, while he lets his attorney general just spearhead Assange and take him into prison.
02:00:42.000So see, this is what the media did all the time.
02:00:45.000I can certainly understand why you're like, I see what Trump is doing.
02:00:47.000I'm not going to give a benefit out on this one.
02:00:49.000But it's like someone going like, I absolutely love Lindor truffles, delicious chocolate.
02:01:54.000No, it'd be like you saying, I love Infinity Gauntlet, then like a couple days later I go, oh yeah, Tim loves Infinity Gauntlet, and you're like, I don't know anything about Infinity Gauntlet.
02:02:19.000Then later, someone says, but Julian Assange did these things with Afghanistan and the war logs and then Trump goes, well, I don't know anything about it.
02:02:25.000Okay, if your stance is that he didn't lie about Wikileaks, not knowing about it, then okay.
02:02:55.000Because if he's trying to get out of having ever said that he supported it in a way so that he can... Because what was manipulative was that he made everyone think that he was gonna potentially pardon Assange.
02:03:15.0002018, 2019, the context is, he said, after Assange was arrested, he said, I know nothing about Wikileaks, it's not my thing.
02:03:20.000And I know there's something having to do with Julia Assange.
02:03:23.000I've been seeing what's happening with Assange, and that will be a determination, I would imagine, mostly by the Attorney General, who's doing an excellent job.
02:03:53.000What, you know, these, these documents getting released.
02:03:55.000Then later on they go, Julian Assange is accused of ripening, he goes, well I don't know anything about ripening.
02:03:59.000Yeah, they're separate statements but it's similar to kind of the criticism that he said he was going to drain the swamp and then what actually got drained.
02:04:05.000I mean he could have, Trump has the ability to declassify as much material as he wanted.
02:04:09.000He could have gone on an absolute rampage exposing everything.
02:04:28.000If Trump gives me a vague, nondescript statement, I will not apply context to it that does not exist.
02:04:34.000So that is not a good example of Trump lying.
02:04:36.000I mean, you said it on the campaign trail that he loves WikiLeaks, and then after Assange got arrested, he said he doesn't know anything about WikiLeaks.
02:06:22.000You are making it difficult to understand.
02:06:24.000This is one instance of many where maybe he was just saying something he didn't mean when he said he loved something that maybe he didn't know anything about.
02:06:32.000You can love something you don't know much about.
02:07:13.000That's different than loving the Super Bowl.
02:07:15.000We got a gallon and a half of crab dip.
02:07:17.000We had a gallon and a half, great, we played poker, the game was on, people were cheering, they did squares and all that stuff, and I know nothing about football.
02:07:26.000So if someone came and asked me, oh you're having a Super Bowl party, you love the Super Bowl?
02:07:30.000I love it, it's so much fun, the game's on, people are cheering, I know a little bit about it, and then a year later they're like, you love football, right?
02:07:36.000And I'll be like, I don't know anything really about it.
02:07:39.000You came out and you said you love football.
02:07:41.000Well, I was talking about the Super Bowl, we did this one thing this one time.
02:07:44.000Donald Trump sees a story about emails getting released and he goes, I love this, this WikiLeaks thing.
02:07:48.000Later on, someone asks him a specific question about something related to WikiLeaks and he goes, I don't know anything about it.
02:08:23.000I think Trump saying, I don't know about Wikileaks in the second That sentence is just as easily interpreted as, I don't want to comment on that right now.
02:09:58.000I've been consistently in the position of Trump does bad things and Trump lies, but I'm sick of the media lying about what he says or does in an attempt to make people hate him.
02:10:07.000And so, I just feel like, Ian, you've found one weird example you're trying to justify that Trump is a liar because you didn't find anything else.
02:10:14.000It's the first one that came up on CNN.
02:12:35.000We got Destiny, Brian Callen, Peter Boghossian, Daryl Davis, Chris Williamson, Kerry Smith, Jamie Kilstein doing some stand-up, Matthew Israeli, Michael Siefert from Public Square,
02:12:52.000Ian Crossland, Luke Rudowski, we've got... Rudkowski.
02:13:02.000Yeah, Brian Callen, Leighton Woodhouse, who's a Twitter Files journalist, Jack Posobiec, and then we got live music presented by Based Records, Ira Dean, Jeffrey Steele, and Suzanne Santo.
02:13:13.000So it's going to be live podcasts, debates, comedy.
