00:02:20.000Joining us today to talk about this and so much more is our good friend, Will Chamberlain.
00:02:24.000Good to be here, Senior Counsel at the Internet Accountability Project and the Article 3 Project.
00:02:30.000And looking forward to talking about, well I guess not looking forward to talking about, we're facing World War 3.
00:02:38.000A big fan of Dilbert, very happy to have him here with us here.
00:03:13.000And this is why I'm wearing a very serious shirt.
00:03:15.000That says, I identify as hyperinflation with our wonderful, bodacious inspiration to us all that you could get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com because you do that.
00:04:12.000The way to do it is you do as many as you can until you mess one up and you start over.
00:04:16.000And you do that until you can get it in one playthrough, and then you repeat the playthrough eight or more times, and after that you'll have it memorized.
00:04:22.000A lot of people don't know this, but Luke only reads Cyrillic.
00:04:25.000Yeah, his computer translates all- it's all English.
00:05:33.000So on New Year's Eve, and we don't have 100% control of it, we get, I think we're getting 10%.
00:05:39.000But this means on New Year's Eve, with everybody watching all around the world and CNN standing there, you are going to see Timcast on the entirety of the tower.
00:05:56.000And along with this, we are also cordially invited to New York's official Times Square VIP elite party, where the politicians are going to be, and we're bringing Luke.
00:06:07.000I'm excited to mingle with the Illuminati.
00:06:12.000Giuliano will be there and you'll be like, you know what happened.
00:06:16.000So this is, it's going to be on during the New Year celebration.
00:06:20.000And, um, You know, the whole point of doing it, I guess, is... We have a story today, we'll maybe talk about Trevor Noah quitting, and I'm just looking at the ratings collapse of all these channels, the rise of independent media, seeing what the Daily Wire's been pulling off, and what we are able to accomplish, and...
00:06:39.000You know, there's a lot of people who have the means, but they don't do this kind of stuff, but I'm all about it.
00:07:25.000I'm like, because it's not like we're going to act a fool or anything, but it's going to be really interesting to say the least.
00:07:32.000I just wanted to say that, and I wanted to say thank you to everybody who supports the show.
00:07:37.000We weren't sure exactly if we wanted to do this, because I was like, does it really matter that we're going to have this massive portion of Times Square on New Year's?
00:07:44.000And I talked to a few people, and the answer was kind of like a, yeah, probably?
00:07:49.000Cause that's a, that's a, that's a big statement to make, especially when they're constantly smearing us and lying about us in the media.
00:07:54.000Just to, just to assert ourselves above them and then have it be on every TV screen when Times Square is shown all around the world for the countdown.
00:08:00.000It's good to do something like just seriously inspirational.
00:09:10.000But if they're already at war, then it wouldn't trigger Article 5, as far as I'm concerned.
00:09:14.000I don't know, actually, but I'm pretty sure that, effectively, that's saying we're at war, and that Russia is now at war with the NATO alliance.
00:09:22.000Yeah, it's a mutual alliance pact, so if one member of NATO gets attacked, all of NATO has to come in and protect that one particular country that got attacked.
00:09:29.000But I think the way... Sorry, go ahead.
00:09:30.000I think the pact's work is if you're not in NATO when you get attacked, you can't be like, oops, hey guys, can I join NATO in retrospect?
00:09:38.000Well, but people aren't going to let them in.
00:09:40.000That's the way this whole conundrum gets solved, is that NATO is not going to admit Ukraine You know, I lean towards that because it seems absurd for, like, you need one NATO member state to be like, nah, nah, nah, nah, but considering the fact that NATO is basically already involved.
00:09:56.000I mean, it's, you know, it's one thing to be already involved, it's another thing to be formally at war.
00:10:00.000My understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, is doesn't Article 5 actually say that the attacked nation gets to dictate the terms of the assistance?
00:10:11.000I think, and I could be wrong, I thought it was something like, you know, if like France is attacked, then France says, okay, we need help and you guys are going to supply us with this.
00:10:25.000I was going to say historians reading our current history a hundred years from now are going to be like, these idiots didn't figure out from the First World War that they shouldn't have huge alliances and PACs and protecting each other.
00:10:37.000There was a Second World War and a Third World War and of course there's that famous Einstein quote.
00:10:42.000About World War three being fought with weapons that are unknown, but World War four and five being fought with sticks and stones I'm butchering the quote here, but but you get the gist of what I'm saying here, and this is just an atrocious Situation that is extremely dangerous for everyone and it's ridiculous.
00:11:38.000But neither can any other Russian leader if someone were to take over after him.
00:11:42.000It's kind of like saying, this is what I wanted, now I've got it, so leave me alone.
00:11:46.000A little bit, but he's saying that Ukrainian territory is now Russian territory, and so it kind of eliminates the possibility of some sort of territorial compromise, because ultimately You want Russia?
00:12:02.000You know, I mean, you want a negotiated agreement here.
00:12:04.000I think we all think that's best because we don't want nuclear war.
00:12:09.000If Putin is dying, like they say he is, and someone else comes in, that's it.
00:12:21.000It's also important to note here that the person that is most likely to take over for Putin is more of a war hawk than he is.
00:12:28.000We're also in a place where Russia hasn't officially declared war, even though we are in a war.
00:12:35.000Obviously, he's still calling it a limited military operation, but I do think that this setup could be the larger setup for the use of nuclear weapons, smaller tactical nuclear weapons, but also this could be, with his annexation of four new territories and regions today, an excuse to call out for a full all-out war, and then he's going to attack the infrastructure He's going to get on the energy grid, and then truly, we will see a very large escalation, and Will, you know, I agree with you, but I disagree with you when you said, you know, NATO's gonna say no, because with how crazy this situation has been already, with how far it has been escalating, who knows if NATO says, the situation got even crazier, he used nukes, let's just accept Ukraine right now and just make it official.
00:13:24.000I see that as a small possibility, But right now, unlikely, but who knows how far we're going to go.
00:13:31.000I think that in the world where Putin actually did use tactical nuclear weapons, I don't know what NATO would do.
00:13:41.000There was a really funny quote that I read.
00:13:43.000I can't remember who it was from, but they said, if Russia were to nuke a NATO member state, NATO would not respond with a nuclear strike against Russia.
00:13:55.000They said you would have to, the president would have to be a madman to sacrifice Boston for, what was it, what's the Polish city, Poznan?
00:14:05.000He said you'd have to be a madman to sacrifice Boston for Poznan.
00:14:08.000Well, you know, there's a lot of things that we also have to understand here, especially when it comes to our chain of command, which is in the hands of some very crazy people, and incompetent people, and people who, of course, don't have their brains working correctly as well.
00:14:25.000All the possibilities are on the table here, and this is why the situation is so dangerous.
00:14:28.000And it's not just Joe Biden at the helm here.
00:14:30.000It's individuals like Victoria Nuland, who, of course, have an agenda to push this conflict to the furthest extent that she could possibly see it.
00:14:39.000The United States is answering today by announcing $12.3 billion additionally to Ukraine as a part of a U.S.
00:14:48.000Biden also just announced new sanctions.
00:14:50.000Poland is handing out radiation pills.
00:14:53.000This is this is crazy as, of course, there's a major battle now happening in in Lyman, a major key city that's going to decide this conflict in a very major way within the next coming days.
00:15:04.000And and also there's battles around a Ukrainian power plant.
00:16:46.000But what it does is it takes Highway M14, which is the east-west highway from Russia, and it goes east, or goes west rather, to, it also took Highway East 105 and East 97 that go north-south.
00:16:58.000So he took the east-west highway that connects to these two north-south highways that take you down out of Crimea.
00:17:19.000Well, strategically, geopolitically, China is also emerging as a power that is threatening American hegemony.
00:17:26.000And if you were calling American foreign policy, I think it would be in the best interest to have good relations with either of those countries in order to make sure that they don't come together.
00:17:38.000I think we've done the opposite of that.
00:17:40.000And I think we're creating a situation that truly is highlighting a West versus East situation, which is not beneficial to anyone.
00:18:02.000Some have actually argued, I think we were talking about this the other day, that China may have been the one who sabotaged Nord Stream to force Russia and NATO to fight so that they could then make a move on Taiwan.
00:18:18.000It makes more sense to me than Russia doing it, which just is completely ridiculous.
00:18:22.000But they're saying there are a bunch of articles that it was like people are pushing conspiracy theories that the West destroyed the North Stream Pipeline.
00:18:30.000And they're all citing anonymous government sources saying 100% it was Russia, 100%.
00:19:25.000He had a tweets thread where he was talking about how he wrote an article called Unpatriotic Conservatives back in 2003 about people who opposed Iraq, you know, who were correct about that.
00:19:48.000Just the level of, one, you can't be if you question our intelligence agencies, which have been routinely wrong and also lied to Americans routinely, then you are not patriotic or you are.
00:19:58.000I mean, it's the the number of different Like, logical leaps you have to take to get to David Frum's reasoning?
00:20:10.000They had profits that they wanted to get.
00:20:12.000They had people that they needed to please.
00:20:13.000And I think they deliberately said, yeah, they got WMDs, when they knew they didn't.
00:20:17.000As, of course, the United States government also had the receipts to the chemical weapons that they were selling to Iraq when Iraq was fighting with Iran.
00:20:40.000I'm reading a book about the CIA right now, which is actually very good.
00:20:43.000And the overall lesson of this book so far is that the CIA has a reputation for like secrecy and competence, but it's actually just absurdly stupid and has made huge mistakes.
00:20:53.000I think You know, early in the Cold War, what they did, their whole plan was like, we're going to create these little partisan armies in all the communist states.
00:21:00.000And they just dropped it, like dropped partisans, you know, and refugees.
00:21:05.000They just dropped them in or like, go infiltrate the government.
00:21:18.000If I was the CIA, I would be also pretending to be really stupid in order to cover for all my illegal actions and horrible crap that I did.
00:21:41.000He said that the West was satanic and he said that they're doing gender experiments on children or something to that effect.
00:21:49.000He gave a 37-minute speech in the middle of Moscow, huge crowds, and he said that the West is, quote, sheer Satanism and it's turning away from moral norms and religious values while offering children sex change operations.
00:22:09.000He's not wrong, but he's not an angel himself.
00:22:13.000He brought up a good point, let's be honest, and I think he's not wrong in some of these instances.
00:22:21.000But again, that doesn't make him the good guy here.
00:22:24.000Right, I think, you know, it's like, it reminds me of that, I think something Jack told me about RT, or how he described RT, is like, RT tells the truth about us and lies about Russia, whereas our media lies about us and might tell the truth about Russia.
00:22:39.000It's like you listen to Russia talk about our problems and you're like, yeah, that's actually a fairly accurate description of how our government is behaving.
00:22:46.000You gotta watch RT if you want to learn about what's going on with protests and activism.
00:22:50.000This is the funny thing about how they destroyed the lives of all these RT reporters and personalities.
00:25:16.000I mean, two wrongs don't make a right either.
00:25:17.000This isn't, I mean, I don't know, I'm sorry, like, there are situations where in a seemingly aggressive war is actually someone responding to acts of war by the other side.
00:25:25.000I think the classic example of that is the Six Days War.
00:25:29.000Where Israel was, you know, Egypt put in place a naval blockade of the Red Sea and prevented Israel from accessing and shipping anything out of its southern port.
00:25:37.000And so if it wanted to ship anything to Asia, it had to go all the way around Africa, right?
00:25:41.000And that's clearly, like, act of war violence.
00:25:44.000And so even though Israel struck first in terms of, like, actually military assets striking other military forces, I think it's pretty clear that that was not an aggressive war in the sense of They were the first wronged party in terms of an act of war against themselves.
00:25:59.000This conflict goes back and forth for many decades now, and you could point, hey, Russia did this, hey, NATO did this, and you could make legitimate arguments that are very convincing by both sides.
00:26:11.000People shouldn't be dying for governments.
00:26:13.000Politicians should be fighting their own wars and shouldn't be sending innocent people to do it.
00:26:18.000But you made a very, very good point there talking about the Six-Day War being brought on by, of course, the stopping of trade.
00:26:25.000And trade routes and denying countries resources is what usually sparks wars.
00:26:32.000So this is why the bursting of this pipeline is so important, because it could be that major galvanizing event that starts all of this.
00:26:41.000It's also why turning Ukraine against Russia in 2014 with that revolution, whether or not the CIA was involved or not, I hear they were, I don't know, but that is, you could argue that that's kind of an act, they cut off their access to the Black Sea, like that's, at least to Sevastopol.
00:26:54.000Yeah, no, that was, I mean, that was a huge screw-up.
00:27:12.000is basically aligned against Assad, the Assad regime, who is aligned with Russia, and every effort we made hurt Russia's interests in Tartus.
00:27:22.000So, of course, you can go back in time, as long as you want to go back in time, you will always find something.
00:29:01.000So I'm not saying that's what is literally happening between the two powers.
00:29:04.000I'm saying there is a line where you would be like, I will never work with you.
00:29:06.000We will not be allies because the ideologies are just too disparate.
00:29:10.000Yeah, it would be, I don't want to adhere to the World Economic Forum's laws and sanctions and give corporations the ability to sue American taxpayers if we don't buy their products.
00:29:19.000Like, that's what the trade, the TPP, Trans-Pacific Partnership, wanted with their investor state dispute settlement clause that got Trump, thank God, overturned.
00:29:31.000But we're not going to do it if we're at war.
00:29:33.000But see, Russia is doing something similar when they're trying to build up the Russian Trade Federation.
00:29:39.000I guess maybe it's a bit hyperbolic to say, but Putin just said today that the fall of the Soviet Union was terrible and the leaders left all the people to just fend for themselves.
00:29:52.000He has consistently expressed dismay at the fall of the Soviet Union.
00:29:56.000And it looks like all of his actions that he's been doing in terms of building up this federation.
00:30:00.000He wanted Ukraine to join the Russian Trade Federation.
00:30:01.000He wants to build what the West is also doing.
00:30:18.000And as much as you might really hate Joe Biden, despise his politics, because I certainly don't like the guy, at least you can recognize you share one thing in common.
00:30:26.000You share a place, like you share the United States.
00:30:30.000And so that means as much as Biden might be selling us out and being corrupt, he doesn't want to lose his property value.
00:30:36.000So even if that means on a scale of one to a hundred, with a hundred being like shared values and one being like barely any, you have one.
00:31:15.000I think I read somewhere for something pretty insightful, which was that, you know, we tend to be very annoyed with like the Biden and the Democrats hypocrisy when it comes to this stuff.
00:32:13.000He does, you know, use a lot of different tactics that the West doesn't usually deploy.
00:32:19.000And I remember seeing, I forgot which documentary this was, but it was describing his strategy of financing his opponents, of creating confusion, of creating a situation where you weren't able to fully understand the larger political ramifications of it, but while everyone is confused and debating, he gets all the power himself.
00:32:38.000I forgot the documentary that perfectly described this kind of larger psychological trick that politicians play on the people.
00:32:45.000I'm going to try to remember as much as I can.
00:33:05.000I don't like that Vladimir's been in power for 22 years.
00:33:08.000That really upsets me, because I think the point of the Russian Federation was they were creating some sort of democratic republic.
00:33:12.000I don't know if they consider themselves a republic, if it's just a federation at this point, whatever that means.
00:33:16.000But he stepped out, and he was gone for a little while, and they said his lackey was running the show while he was behind the scenes.
00:33:22.000But then it's like he came back, and at that time I was like, well, I think what he's doing is he's afraid that the liberal economic order, the military war machine, is going to take over the world, and he wants to make sure that it doesn't happen on his watch.
00:33:33.000And until he's comfortable that the United States is the good guys again, he's going to be there protecting Russia.
00:33:38.000But I don't that doesn't justify a great wars of aggression.
00:33:43.000Yeah, but it and maybe it's still that is his methodology.
00:33:46.000Like if I let someone come into power, they're going to be weaker than me.
00:33:48.000They're going to capitulate and I can't let that happen.
00:33:50.000Hyper normalization is the term that I was looking for that describes what I was just saying.
00:33:55.000It was a part of a BBC documentary from 2016 and there's a small clip of it that is absolutely fascinating and explains what Putin kind of mastered but I think is also being practiced here in the West as well that I think a lot of people should understand this larger trickery, these larger psychological tricks played on by politicians against the people.
00:34:14.000Hyper normalization is the word of the day that you should Look up.
00:34:25.000Since the 1970s, given up on complex real world and built a smaller fake world run by corporations and kept stable by politicians.
00:34:31.000That's the impetus of the 2016 BBC documentary, Hyper Normalization.
00:34:35.000And that runs parallel with like the insurance agencies that are attempting to take over the world medically and control, you know, doctors.
00:34:43.000Seven minutes that they get to spend with their patients instead of the old doctor patient relationship.
00:34:48.000Pharmaceutical companies and insurance agencies trying to run things.
00:34:51.000I just love how we have commercials where it's like, is Florbestron right for you?
00:35:39.000Imagine if they, well, it is kind of funny that there's a lot of drugs that are basically prescription drugs, derivatives of methamphetamine salts or just outright opiates.
00:35:47.000And so they're basically like, we're going to make opium and heroin illegal.
00:35:51.000But if you get a prescription of a different form of it, we're going to put a commercial on.
00:35:54.000And I don't think they actually do commercials for that stuff, though.
00:35:56.000But they certainly they crank it out through the pharmaceutical industry.
00:36:00.000I don't know if we need American constitutionalism for the future.
00:36:03.000We could have a global organization where we don't use the American Constitution and it's much different.
00:36:08.000It terrifies me to think that a corporation would implement its function onto top-down governance and you'd have like, you know, World Economic Forum and Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson and, you know, Boeing running everyone's lives.
00:36:54.000When your body absorbs as much as it can, it will reject the rest.
00:36:58.000If radioactive iodine is in the air, on the ground, or all over the place and you're eating, your body will absorb it and put radioactive iodine in your thyroid, which then causes problems.
00:37:06.000This does not protect you from anything else.
00:37:09.000People seem to think that, like, if there's a nuclear bomb that goes off, you take one of these and it protects you from the radiation.
00:37:13.000Like, it protects your thyroid from iodine.
00:37:16.000But there's, I mean, I don't know exactly what kind of radioactive materials are going to be littered all over the place.
00:37:23.000But I do want to talk to everybody about the threat of nuclear war and what it really means.
00:38:16.000So you take one of these pills, but then you pick something up off the ground and you can get some, you know, MOX plutonium or whatever it's called on you.
00:38:23.000So, in the event of nuclear war, the other thing to consider, not every nuclear bomb has a radioactive yield.
00:38:29.000That's, my understanding is that's intentional.
00:38:32.000When a bomb goes off and it leaves radiation, like, they design it to do that.
00:38:35.000And there are many nuclear bombs that actually don't, they just do fireballs, so.
00:38:38.000Yeah, our understanding of nuclear weapons is still primitive compared to the advancements that were made within, what was it, like 90 years?
00:38:50.000So what we know of the nuclear weapon 80 years ago is absolutely nothing compared to what's out there right now and the technology and the possibilities that they have.
00:38:59.000Putin And the Russian government a lot of times talk about flooding all of the United Kingdom with a radiation wave and using nuclear weapons underwater as a way to start a tsunami that is going to cover all of the United Kingdom.
00:40:09.000And then, lo and behold, it turned out to be this massive explosive device.
00:40:12.000At the Manhattan Project that was spearheaded and started at the Bohemian Grove of all places, where a hundred thousand people were working on it, and only about two dozen knew exactly what they were working on.
00:40:24.000Right, I mean, that said, I don't know, I read, have you read The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes?
00:40:31.000When I was looking into the Bohemian Grove, and then they were just bragging, oh, the nuclear bomb was pretty much created here, and I'm like, Kind of.
00:40:39.000My understanding, based on that book, was that there were a series of experiments done and publicized in 1939-1940 in Germany, of all places, where basically they split the uranium atom.
00:40:55.000Yeah, so, actually, I pulled the Wikipedia, Discovery of Nuclear Fission by German Chemists.
00:41:02.000And then Germany could have developed a nuclear weapon, but they kicked out their scientists because they had a religion that they didn't like.
00:41:10.000And all the scientists went to the United States and they started building it here in the United States.
00:41:14.000Literally, the Nazis' anti-Semitism is actually a pretty good argument that maybe it's not exactly why they lost World War II, but it made their loss inevitable.
00:41:22.000I mean, if Hitler had the nuclear bomb before anybody else, it would be game over.
00:41:35.000Like the development of German technology in the early parts of that world war were absolutely just beyond belief.
00:41:45.000You want to continue with what you're saying?
00:41:47.000So basically, but like once this experiment happened and there were Scientists around the world, having seen this experiment, understood the implication was a nuclear bomb is possible.
00:41:57.000And so that's, you know, so Germany started working on it.
00:42:01.000I think England, you know, other countries started working on it too.
00:42:04.000So it wasn't when you, like, I guess it wasn't a secret at that point.
00:42:07.000It was sort of, if you were in the scientific community, it was like all the scientists started talking to the politicians of like, We know this is possible.
00:42:14.000You should really invest in this because you don't want the other guy to get this first.
00:42:17.000Because it's just how much energy was necessarily created from splitting the uranium atom was enough to make people realize that it could create a chain reaction and a bomb.
00:42:26.000And I would even argue, you know, Germany lost World War II, but I would say the Nazis didn't.
00:42:37.000Two, the Russians and the Americans scooped them up right after the war and then had them work on NASA, had them work on the Russian space agency.
00:43:26.000Um, not saying he wasn't a bad guy or a good guy.
00:43:27.000I'm just saying, like, he wasn't Goebbels, you know, some ideologist who's spreading it.
00:43:31.000And then you look at people like Eichmann, you know, is the classic guy who went to Argentina.
00:43:36.000I mean, he had to be incognito for 20 years before the Israelis finally found him, kidnapped him, and tried him in Israel.
00:43:42.000Not to mention, there's a bunch of really crazy stories, um, like the, uh, what is it?
00:43:47.000Was it the Isdal Woman, I think it was called?
00:43:49.000I went to, uh, this is an amazing story.
00:43:51.000I went to Bergen, Norway a while back, and there's this legend they have where they found a woman dead up in the mountain, just outside of town, from smoke inhalation, they said.
00:44:01.000And it's been a long time since I've gone through the story.
00:44:03.000We interviewed a bunch of people in Bergen, and there were like passports, outfits, and so one of the leading theories was that she was Mossad, hunting down escaped Nazis in various countries, and they were being summarily executed, so not escaping.
00:44:20.000But in this instance, this woman was killed by the person she was sent to assassinate, and so they found her body, didn't know she was, saw a bunch of aliases and passports, never figured it out.
00:44:29.000But people are like, they believe that Mossad went on for decades, probably even still now, are hunting these people down.
00:44:37.000There was a story out there long ago of like a guy was like 90-something years old, was it like 98?
00:44:46.000There was a Netflix movie about that, I think.
00:44:47.000It was like some But here's what people don't know.
00:44:50.000Here's what people don't understand is that many of these people who did escape probably died within a year from assassinations, and it's not in the news.
00:45:19.000You know, this is something that my family, you know, lost a lot of its members to.
00:45:25.000And it's still something that, you know, I think in hindsight should be talked about more, especially with the severe escalations we're seeing in Europe right now that many people believe is going to prompt another world war, which is just absolutely insane.
00:46:11.000Who was involved in pogroms against the Jewish community in advance of the Germans coming in.
00:46:19.000Um, you know, and, and they're all these guys they're hailing is like Ukrainian heroes and Ukrainian nationalists.
00:46:25.000Well, those are the guys who like fought the Russians and sided with the Nazis.
00:46:30.000And usually we're doing the Nazis bidding before the Nazi showed up.
00:46:33.000Well, Ukraine is also in a tough position because that's some of the best fighters that they have.
00:46:38.000And the Ukrainian government is like, okay, let's stop talking about this because we need to fight a war and this is how they're kind of excusing it.
00:46:47.000But there's a whole, I think, a battalion inside of the official Ukrainian military that was officially recognized that did have extreme far-right kind of ideas.
00:47:42.000You know, Jewish associations lighting up the Ukrainian government for their actions in support of Azov and a lot of their public resurrection of these World War II figures who were anti-Semitic.
00:47:54.000Another problem with war is pushing countries to war is that the worst, I'm not saying that the Azov are the worst, but violent extremists will rise up to fight because those might be your best fighters because they're violent extremists.
00:48:05.000That's what they do is they know how to fight.
00:48:07.000This weird, like, problem for Ukrainian nationalism in general, right?
00:48:10.000Because Ukraine doesn't have this long and deep history as an independent nation, so they're, they're kind of have to reach for these figures of nationalist pride in Ukraine who have these very, very checkered pasts.
00:48:21.000I'd love to see Ukraine become a neutral territory in some way.
00:48:37.000It's like a Hong Kong or like a Singapore.
00:48:40.000But Ukraine also has a lot of natural gas and a lot of energy exploration is being found in that country, which threatens the Russian petrostate.
00:48:49.000And this is, I think, another reason why Russia is being so aggressive, especially in the southern parts, where a lot of this new energy has been found and will contest Russia as a petrostate and contend with it directly, which, of course, Russia can't have because that's one of its major Assets, it's energy that it provides the world.
00:49:18.000And please, my goodness, let's try to call for some de-escalations here and stop with this madness and people dying for the whims of politicians and their aspirations.
00:49:28.000Well, we got a midterm coming up, and investors.com, Dow Jones drops on hot inflation data.
00:50:29.000I think somebody did a map once where they described the navigable waterways of the United Huge mountains that, of course, are very difficult to traverse.
00:50:42.000That can withstand nuclear... I'm just saying, there's so much natural farmland in the United States, it just dwarfs almost anywhere else in the world, in terms of just the amount of farmland and the ability for a country to produce its own food.
00:50:53.000Yeah, and we don't we don't have to buy cat food actually because Bocas just caught a squirrel the other day Again, no, I just thought I'm talking about the one that he got and he he went into one of the ramps We couldn't get him out and I guess he just ate it So, you know, well, there's that that's cheap when you live out here in the middle of nowhere, man You can you can grow your own food.
00:51:12.000You know, we we had a pawpaw bread today.
00:51:14.000It was amazing Oh pawpaws hillbilly banana So, uh, there's food aplenty.
00:51:19.000But if you live in a big city like New York or even outside of one like, I don't know, Arlington, for instance, you're probably in trouble.
00:51:25.000Especially with the potential attacks on infrastructure.
00:51:29.000So, if energy goes out, if the internet goes out, which, again, a lot of it is dependent on underground sea cables, which I think we should be keeping a close eye on, because I do believe there's going to be some significant attacks on those.
00:51:43.000That's a logical way for Russia to retaliate against us.
00:51:48.000You're gonna be watching your House of Dragons, and it's gonna cut off, and then it's gonna be like, we can't load because Russia cut a cable.
00:53:56.000But even, even, I mean... Don't just say, sure, I'll get on the bus.
00:54:00.000Well, but like, should, should the Japanese have violently resisted the efforts of... Would that have been smart for the Japanese?
00:54:06.000They could have peacefully and passively resisted, at the very least.
00:54:09.000I don't know, I just, I think it, you know, it's one of those, like, horrible things, but the outcomes for the Japanese people who resisted would not have been better than those that complied.
00:54:17.000Like, it's an appalling human rights abuse by our government.
00:54:20.000But that doesn't mean that, like, the correct and practical course of action for the victims of that oppression was to violently resist.
00:54:26.000I'm not sure, at the same time, the appropriate response is to willfully enter a concentration camp.
00:54:31.000No, no, don't just jump into the fire when you see it burning, but, you know, use discretion and don't just assume it's the enemy if something bad happens.
00:54:38.000You don't have to resist, you don't have to comply either, but, you know, you could force the issue and make it more of a debate, more of a conversation.
00:54:45.000Yeah, sure, you could definitely make it We're talking about overt violations of the Constitution.
00:54:53.000Criminal actions being made against the American citizens because they were scared that some of them, because of the way they looked, may have been spies.
00:55:02.000In hindsight, if you were Japanese during World War II, what would you do?
00:55:09.000I'd try to, I think that I would try and avoid detection by the, right, I would try and avoid it.
00:55:15.000I wouldn't, I don't think I'd like start shooting at government agents to avoid being taken to a, to one of the camps, but I think I would try and like, you know, I'd try and avoid them, hide.
00:55:25.000You want to, of course, try to go through everything before resorting to violence.
00:55:30.000You want to try all options, peaceful disobedience, protesting, but like, It's a difficult situation.
00:55:37.000What should the Jews in Germany have done?
00:55:40.000Different, I mean, different given that the, I mean, and I think the Warsaw Uprising demonstrates this, right?
00:55:46.000Like the way that it was, there is a category difference between how we treated the Japanese people and how the Nazis treated Jews, right?
00:56:05.000A lot of them, they weren't beaten and dragged into these train carts.
00:56:08.000Many of them were just, they pulled up and said, alright, you know, we're getting in, we're bringing you to a camp.
00:56:11.000Well, a lot of them were also work camps.
00:56:13.000Like, my family got sent to a work camp.
00:56:16.000And then they had death camps as well.
00:56:18.000So, my great-grandmother was in a work camp with my grandmother.
00:56:22.000My grandmother tells me the stories and the craziness of that situation.
00:56:26.000And, you know, she was extremely lucky, and randomly, a family just decided to pick her up after her mother, my great-grandmother, was sent off to death camp, and she died there.
00:56:39.000And a family adopted my grandmother, and that's the only reason she survived.
00:56:44.000That's the only reason I'm here today.
00:56:46.000They went to a work camp and picked her up?
00:56:47.000In Poland, when the German government took over during World War II, if you had a number of kids, you didn't have to pay taxes.
00:56:55.000And the state liked that you had a number of kids because you were procreating, so there was a family that didn't have enough kids to not pay taxes, didn't have enough kids to get the government benefits, so they adopted one off of one of the trains that was heading off to the Stutthof camp.
00:57:11.000And that's where, you know, my great-grandmother passed away.
00:57:13.000So in hindsight, you know, I mean, it's something people should consider.
00:57:32.000You know, you're raised in this stuff, and you have your family tell you, hey, this happened to your uncle, this is the torture that he went through, hey, this is the secret jail, the secret, you know, this is the craziness that we faced this here, then, and then, and then, and you keep hearing these stories, and it's just absolutely It builds who you are because it teaches you the important lessons of history that sadly a lot of people have forgotten and this is why I'm so passionate about these issues.
00:58:03.000This is why I've been at this for so long because the writing is on the wall and I think it's only a matter of time until we repeat history and I think in many instances we already have.
00:58:12.000You mentioned communications being part of the danger of loss of electricity and all that in New York or wherever, but like, so would it be wise for people then to get CB radios with like a solar charger or something?
00:58:25.000Probably get that for a hundred bucks.
00:58:35.000But you want to hear what's going on because they may say... You'll turn the radio on and it'll say a large group of whatever are heading south down I-90.
00:59:21.000When there's active conflict going on, so this is actually something that happened, a guy, I think it was like a civilian, was walking down the street, someone shot him because they were like, the coat was big, they couldn't tell if he was armed or not, and they didn't want to take a risk.
00:59:32.000Because there's Russian and Ukrainian forces fighting, you see a random guy, you say, You wanna risk it?
00:59:38.000You wanna be the one to walk over to him and make sure that he's on your side or not?
00:59:42.000Or would you rather just sweep the area with your team you know you can trust and say, screw it to everybody else?
01:00:19.000Yes, I've been, I was in Kiev during the Euromaidan protests.
01:00:24.000There were riots, there were police, it was getting crazy, there were tents, and then you walk two blocks and you're at a shopping center.
01:00:30.000In fact, the shopping center was in the Maidan Square.
01:00:33.000So like, you could walk from the protests, Where there have been people firebombing tanks or APCs and you can walk inside and I'm gonna buy this coat right here and this shopping.
01:00:42.000In Egypt during the revolution, you could walk two blocks from Tahrir Square and there's a McDonald's with people eating cheeseburgers and they're watching the game.
01:01:20.000Stores try to operate sometimes it gets so bad that the bullets stop people from doing it But if you've if you know you look at these videos out of Syria And there are people walking down the street carrying like a basket full of fruits while there's like shelling going on.
01:01:39.000The best, the craziest thing, when the war in Syria broke out, we tried pursuing this story while at Vice.
01:01:45.000The Damascus tourism board was advertising for people, even in the United States, to come party and enjoy the nightlife of Damascus when there were like fears of sarin gas attacks.
01:01:56.000And so we were like, we were at Vice and we were like, can we do this?
01:01:59.000Like, can we go to Damascus and film a video that's literally just us partying and entertaining what they're advertising while acknowledging this war is going on?
01:02:09.000So you're saying you don't shut down for war, but maybe for a virus sometimes?
01:02:17.000You know, shout out to Elon Musk and Starlink and anyone else that's working on satellite internet, because if our terrestrial internet does go down, which is sounds extremely vulnerable, if it's underwater and cables right along where those pipelines run, they just got one of those, we need, you know, a backup.
01:02:32.000And if we got internet satellites, then at least we'll be able to keep talking to each other.
01:02:36.000I think that we can maintain order in a blackout.
01:02:51.000Yep, the new iPhones, if you get lost and there's no cell phone service, You could literally use the iPhone as a way to track down satellites, as a way to send out an SOS signal and reach search and rescue anywhere and everywhere.
01:03:15.000I wasn't, but You know, I know a little bit about Infosec stuff and tech and drones, but one of the things that he got was a two-way texting device that allows you to send text messages.
01:05:04.000So what happens is in 20 years, you're walking through a forest, there's a, you know, a guy driving, you know, a park employee or a park ranger pulls up and he goes, You didn't register on the beacon system.
01:05:22.000Where's your permission slip to be in nature?
01:05:24.000Which is what they're doing more and more of.
01:05:27.000You literally need permission slip to go into a lot of national parks, and you need to make reservations sometimes years in advance.
01:05:33.000It's absolutely crazy that the government is limiting people's ability to be in nature, and that's just... I want to use some French language here, but I won't.
01:06:10.000Well, this is what happens when someone's got an iPhone and then they like your text.
01:06:15.000Android users see this ridiculous message.
01:06:19.000Yeah, and I get it, and I'll say something like, you know, like, oh man, I'm feeling sick, and it'll be like, liked, oh man, I'm feeling sick, and I'm like, thanks for letting me know, I guess.
01:06:28.000But I like that one, you're just tapping it.
01:06:31.000Elon Musk is apparently gonna have to buy Twitter, what's the deal?
01:06:34.000I mean, yeah, so the litigation's ongoing.
01:06:36.000Remember that Twitter sued Elon Musk to try and make him buy the company and go through with the merger agreement.
01:06:42.000I mean, and I've predicted for quite some time that Elon is gonna lose this lawsuit, and he's gonna be forced to buy Twitter.
01:06:48.000The trial's coming up in a couple weeks.
01:06:50.000But anyway, the reason we're seeing all this stuff is because right now they're doing this really rushed discovery process and everybody's producing everything, including all of Elon's text messages with people that relate in any way to the Twitter buyout.
01:07:03.000And so some of these are absolutely hilarious.
01:07:33.000Yeah, he says, yeah, Parag's the CEO of Twitter.
01:07:35.000He says, you are free to tweet, quote, is Twitter dying, end quote, or anything else about Twitter, but it's my responsibility to tell you that it's not helping me make Twitter better in the current context.
01:07:43.000Next time we speak, I'd like to provide you with perspective on the internal distraction, how it's causing it, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:07:49.000Elon responds, what did you get done this week?
01:07:54.000We'll make an offer to take Twitter private.
01:07:58.000Imagine talking to someone like Parag.
01:08:03.000Like the way he talked, it's just, I'd be like, come on guys, say words.
01:08:07.000Let's, let's, let's figure out what you need to get done that you don't like.
01:08:10.000There's two typos in Parag's response.
01:08:13.000I'd like to you provide you perspective, and then on the level of internal distraction right now, and how it hurting our ability to do work.
01:08:21.000Like, he's the CEO of Twitter, and he gets two typos and a message to Elon Musk, who wants to spend 54 billion dollars, but the guy can't get his text right.
01:08:41.000Yeah, I think it does show that sort of the decision to go and take Twitter private was a little bit emotional on Elon's part and kind of impulsive.
01:09:26.000What does Elon care about his net worth?
01:09:28.000I mean, I understand wanting to build stuff, but I mean, it implicates his ability to continue to control what happens at Tesla, for example, because most of his net worth is bound up in Tesla stock.
01:09:37.000So I guess it would take too much of his stock.
01:11:35.000But like, I mean, think about what happened to Parler, right?
01:11:38.000Like Parler, I don't know if you saw, there was actually a small news item, but the new Parler CEO basically said they're They're pivoting away from their legacy social media business into servers, similar to Rumble, create the uncancellable economy.
01:12:42.000It's all proprietary with no E, just the consonant and then the R. The only way they're trying to compete, their entire competitive advantage is we don't censor.
01:12:50.000But that's not really a competitive advantage.
01:12:52.000The end result of that is, the core of your user base then becomes the people who were censored.
01:13:01.000I don't even know why people use Twitter!
01:13:03.000I don't know, I mean, I like Twitter, and Twitter's where everybody else is, so it's still the functional public square.
01:13:08.000I think this is one of those, Twitter and this particular type of social media business is just, it's a natural monopoly.
01:14:40.000Jack Dorsey tried to get Elon Musk to report it.
01:14:42.000But it's them talking about basically that they want to, they both want to decentralize the technology and work together.
01:14:48.000And the Jack was like, I couldn't, I could try and get you on the board.
01:14:51.000I got 3% of the company and really no pull there, but I'll see what I can do.
01:14:54.000And then he's like, what I really want to do is use this stuff as a decentralized protocol.
01:14:58.000And Elon's like, okay, I like that idea.
01:15:00.000So if he buys Twitter, uses the software, frees the software code, makes it like a universal global effort to create a decentralized... Encrypts private messages so they can't get leaked to anyone.
01:15:09.000Well, the downside of encrypted messages is if I send you something encrypted, you can send that to anyone.
01:15:14.000You've got to trust the person on the other end, but the idea is it's encrypted between the two people that are using the message.
01:15:28.000And then do you see a big kind of blowback if Elon does take over that there might be some efforts because Bill Gates already had a lot of secretive efforts with his I mean, I don't think they can really compromise it as a platform.
01:16:14.000But it's a private company, so it's not subject to the same sort of securities regulations.
01:16:18.000But someone could leak or try to, of course, sabotage the company.
01:16:21.000Yeah, I mean, maybe, but it's the sort of obvious methods of sabotage that you're thinking of wouldn't work in the world where it's a private company, and then it doesn't have to obey securities laws in the same way, right?
01:16:32.000Where it's, you know, it's one of the big disciplining things about our system, and I think people, you know, we think that the free market and capitalism only, you know, works because of competition, but one big thing is that public company CEOs have to tell the truth about their companies every three months in a way that politicians don't.
01:16:49.000You know, politicians can just lie and lie and lie about the operation of the government and so can the department
01:16:55.000heads and nobody goes Nobody's ever, you know threatened with jail for that
01:16:58.000But if you are a public company CEO and you lie about your business results, you can go to jail for securities fraud
01:17:04.000But there's why don't we make it so that whenever you're inaugurated or whatever you swear an oath to you know, tell
01:17:10.000the truth Well, it's like, it's, it's like the government, the problem is it's the government trying to hold itself accountable for honesty and especially like the highest level officials.
01:17:18.000And it just doesn't, it doesn't work the same way.
01:17:20.000The reason this works is because the sovereign is imposing that discipline on, on public company CEOs.
01:17:26.000I remember James Clapper testifying under oath that they weren't wittingly spying on the American people with the PRISM software, or the PRISM program, and they were.
01:17:34.000But I mean, and they used the word wittingly, like maybe they were inadvertently doing it and didn't realize it, but I mean, I think they were kind of wittingly spying and like, no, there was no...
01:17:42.000Yeah, you know, there's these external consequences, right?
01:17:45.000Like, even James Clapper should have been prosecuted, but, I mean, you can't, the intelligence agencies have their own problem, which is, like, ultimately the J. Edgar Hoover problem.
01:17:59.000All the CIA agents did that routinely.
01:18:01.000But, you know, individuals like Roger Stone get charged for that.
01:18:04.000Other individuals, like the former head of the CIA, that knowingly lie, that also get us into wars, no.
01:18:11.000It's weird, it's like the industrial agriculture of politics is like, or what do you call it, when they have a bunch of like pig slaughterhouses in secret.
01:18:20.000We don't want to look at it, we don't want to smell it, but we know those pigs are getting cut up in like tens by tens of thousands.
01:18:25.000People are grabbing piglets and smashing them on the ground because they don't like them.
01:18:28.000Like crazy people work in these slaughter shops.
01:18:31.000We know it's happening, a lot of people do, but we're just letting it happen because we want that bacon.
01:18:35.000We know the CIA is lying, but we just let it happen because we need a secret agency Telling lies for a living, like that's the whole point of the CIA.
01:18:42.000I don't know if you can compare the CIA to bacon, you know, bacon has a purpose.
01:19:12.000It was like, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna tear him up, set him on fire, and then piss on him!
01:19:16.000There's a really great ex-CIA, former CIA counter-terrorist expert, Kevin Shipp, and I highly recommend looking up anything he does on the internet.
01:19:23.000He wrote a book called From the Company of Shadows, talking about CIA operations abuse of secrecy, and he's like, Full out.
01:19:28.000They've threatened his family, he said, since he's left and talked about it.
01:19:31.000But he's like just straight up and telling you there's like a law they have that lets them lie.
01:19:35.000It almost encourages for the name of national defense.
01:20:06.000But yeah, the big thesis of the CIA book so far is the CIA is actually incompetent.
01:20:11.000We think of it as scary and over-abusive, but the big lesson is more than anything, it was just straight up incompetent and killed a lot of its own agents for no good reason.
01:20:20.000Well, I would argue that's a cover, but that's just my own pure speculations.
01:20:25.000But Mike Pompeo did say on the record, quote, we lied, we cheated, we stole, we had entire training courses.
01:20:31.000It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.
01:20:34.000That's literally what he said, and now he might be running to be the next president of the United States.
01:20:40.000The glory of the American experiment, meaning like stealing the land from the native population?
01:20:45.000Uh, that's, you know, like telling them, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna make a deal with you and then not giving them this stuff.
01:20:51.000I mean, there's a, well, I think it was known as the natives would give their land for like blankets and then they wanted the land back and they're like, no, you call that, they call it an Indian giver.
01:20:59.000It was like this real offensive, you know, I'm not, they still call them Indian, like they're from India.
01:21:03.000I'm not an expert in Indian history, but I know there's a lot of contention to what actually happened.
01:21:07.000Indian history is in India, the Native American population, that was abuse of slander to call those people Indians, especially if they knew they didn't land in India.
01:22:02.000He had half-truths and misinformation consistently on his show that he wouldn't fact-check.
01:22:06.000And these are the kind of people that believed Russiagate, Ukrainegate, Hands Up, Don't Shoot, Ahmaud Arbery, you know, the Trayvon Martin stuff.
01:22:13.000They believed all the lies, the manipulations.
01:22:40.000Jon Stewart may have had something back in the day, but he created this breed of mechanical, formulaic, fake political humor that has plagued this country for a decade.
01:23:03.000And Crossfire, at the time, he was like, this is partisan hackery, we can do so much better.
01:23:07.000And it's like, Crossfire was the last time you had Republicans and Democrats regularly debating each other on equal terms on a major network.
01:23:15.000Jon Stewart comes in, smug as a button, and says, this is garbage, and mocks Tucker Carlson.
01:23:48.000And then it was like, they mentioned there would be beats with claps from the audience, like, and it was this meme that was talking about how this was basically programming people.
01:23:55.000Say thing, call it absurd whether it's true or not, tell the audience to clap for it.
01:25:06.000Yeah, he avoided political propaganda.
01:25:07.000He avoided the political stuff and he just did The Office and has been funny for a decade.
01:25:11.000I mean Colbert was funny on the Daily Show when he was the correspondent.
01:25:15.000I thought he's a funny actor, but his political crap is like just over the top.
01:25:20.000Yeah, I thought Colbert Report was better than the current version of Colbert's late night show, which is just pure, like the most banal thing ever.
01:25:28.000When Jon Stewart went on Colbert's show, the new one, and said that lab leak was the most likely scenario for COVID, and Colbert was pushing back like, no, no, no, no.
01:25:38.000That contrast right there was the difference between what Jon Stewart started and what his legacy is.
01:27:54.000I want to be the natural trajectory of a of a international here.
01:27:58.000Harvey Weinstein said loudly to his candidates, the modern superstar does different things.
01:28:05.000You don't keep doing what made you famous when you were young.
01:28:07.000You got to go on to the next thing, make some hit songs, make a hot TV show, learn Russian, learn how to cook, maybe start a bread baking company.
01:28:17.000You can't Back in the day, they just recycled the same garbage, but then they get unhappy, and then they start just playing the game to play the game, and they get lazy.
01:28:55.000I think it's like you can only get it actually in Japan.
01:28:58.000So what we have is like a weird... I'm being hyperbolic with every food on earth, but you have a wide variety of foods to choose from and recipes available at your fingertips.
01:29:13.000I'm just waiting for that bacon to come in, so we ran out of the pre-wrapped bacon.
01:29:25.000I had to order more, but it takes, you know, a week or so to come in.
01:29:28.000The reason that came to mind is because, like, if Jon Stewart did learn Russian and went to Russia and started talking as, like, a diplomat, now we're talking international superstardom again, and he doesn't have to, like, hang on to Stephen Colbert's coattails to try and stay relevant and, like, say the new cool thing.
01:29:43.000But it takes a lot of effort to learn new things.
01:29:45.000There's no reason that Jon Stewart couldn't actually be a very interesting figure if he just dispensed with the wokeness, because I don't think that's really him.
01:29:54.000He praised Project Veritas on more than one occasion.
01:29:56.000And he criticized people, even Barack Obama and his drone strikes, which was rare, and he broke from the norm.
01:30:04.000Whenever you see someone trying to be accepted and be liked, that's just a disgusting behavior that naturally human beings are like, okay, this is fake.
01:30:17.000But when someone's being themselves and willing to push, you know, the envelope and willing to be themselves and willing to actually speak truth to power, that's respectable.
01:30:24.000That's something that People, you know, really love because it resonates with them and it's rare.
01:30:29.000But it also helps progress society and make society better when you're willing to, of course, get out of the agenda, get out of the narrative, and be able to actually have a real honest conversation and stop bullshitting people about all this nonsense that, of course, is all a part of an agenda meant to enslave humanity.
01:30:46.000So yeah, that's just my opinion at the last bit there.
01:30:49.000My last bit there was just conjecture there for me, but you get the point.
01:30:54.000This story, I think, is a white pill moment.
01:31:40.000I was thinking like, you know, one marketing strategy would be to go weird by just doing like using every, every screen to show Roberto Jr.
01:31:48.000Because then people are going to be like, what is this?
01:31:50.000And then you want them to ask and remember.
01:31:52.000And then why is there a chicken up on?
01:31:55.000Yeah, but I was like, no, maybe we'll just do, you know, we had to figure it out, but we want the personalities, various personalities.
01:32:00.000You gotta do a Super Bowl ad at some point.
01:32:01.000piece of them and all the different screens but if you stand back far enough
01:32:03.000you can see the whole thing the whole the whole chicken yeah but I was like
01:32:06.000no maybe we'll just do you know we had to figure it out but we want the
01:32:10.000personalities various person you gotta do a Super Bowl Super Bowl out at some
01:32:14.000point that would be absolutely insane we yeah chickens playing football but I
01:32:23.000think those are substantially more yeah as are insane yeah I could raise money
01:32:27.000for it so like we weren't able to get the actual package the
01:32:32.000I'll just tell people like well maybe I shouldn't just yet because I don't know what the contract stuff is but let me just say like there's a premium New York package they have for specifically for New Years that includes like a national run and it just costs millions of dollars.
01:33:21.000So we can do a lot of different stuff.
01:33:24.000Yeah, so technically you give them your ad set and then they run it, but you can always send them updates.
01:33:30.000How many in a day, different ones, can you run in one day?
01:33:33.000I mean, I'd imagine as many as you want.
01:33:35.000You'd annoy the crap out of them by telling them to keep changing it.
01:33:37.000They might be like, come on, dude, chill.
01:33:39.000But we could do an update on Christmas, because it's going to be there through Christmas, and then on New Year's put something updated for New Year's.
01:33:47.000So you can actually like what you're basically renting the space and they're digital so you can change them to whatever you want.
01:33:51.000Do like some hyperbolic stuff like the world is changing call to action of some sort.
01:33:56.000Like stuff where like you are in control.
01:34:02.000I think you know we thought about doing some kind of message like you are not the elite anymore or something but I think the most effective thing is literally just a basic ad.
01:34:09.000You are the elite now, talking to common man.
01:34:12.000The idea is that if we make it an activist statement, we set ourselves apart from the cultural establishment.
01:34:18.000If we put ourselves there, the average person just sees us as part of it.
01:34:22.000So we've invaded that space, we've taken their clout, and then we're gonna have Luke standing next to some of these people, and it's just gonna be hilarious.
01:34:42.000Similar to the ads we already have but we're gonna be at this party where they have like a special area there's a live performance VIP only indoors it's catered buffet and the people who are there are apparently like the New York royalty politicians real estate owners And then it's going to be us.
01:35:27.000A, B, C, D. Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com, because what are we going to do with it?
01:35:41.000We are going to like, I don't know, take over Times Square, or at least be as a part of it.
01:35:46.000for big events and where our goal is just to keep pushing into the cultural spaces.
01:35:50.000We are working on the next release of a song uh for our music projects and we've got uh some some big industry guys that are working with us so success is is happening now and you know look you plant the seeds with what the daily wire is doing the stuff we're doing and many others hopefully in 10 years we've completely won the culture war look Trevor Noah's out we're winning baby let's read some super chats smash that like button if you haven't already Harry To says, hello Luke, lately you are looking amazing.
01:36:58.000Michael Malice, I thought was, um, the next best thing we could do because there's nothing they can really say about him, but he, he pokes the bear very well.
01:37:06.000Like a funny picture of Alex with the tinfoil hat on or something.
01:37:58.000I'm like, because we're winning, dude.
01:38:00.000And so for them to be sitting at home with their parents and like watching CNN, and then they just see it all big in the background behind Anderson Cooper, and they go, what?
01:39:24.000says, Tim, I've learned as a leader from the core to my current position, folks want to, uh, folks want to know the truths and whys of what is you ask of them.
01:39:34.000Yet politicians fail daily with this simple ask.
01:39:37.000Yeah, no, that's a key leadership lesson, like you, you know, being willing, not just leading like an authoritarian, like you must do X, being like, willing to explain to your subordinates why you have asked them.
01:39:46.000When it's appropriate, obviously, sometimes there's urgency, but as a general rule, it's good to have your subordinates understand what you're trying to accomplish.
01:42:33.000That people, a lot of these people, these lefties aren't smart enough, or they probably get it, they're just lying.
01:42:39.000If there's a video where I'm like, Trump might get a 49 state landslide, I think they're specifically referring to my Moody's Analytics review, where I was reading a news article that said there was a possibility of a Trump 49 state landslide.
01:42:52.000Moody's was referring to, Moody's Analytics in 2019 said the economy was so strong that there was a chance that Trump could actually see like a record number of electoral votes.
01:43:05.000And then they act like I'm making some grand prediction because I read an economist's analysis of the, you know, of the country or something.
01:45:25.000Well, but you have to think about how the Russians would respond, right?
01:45:28.000Like, if the Russians actually did nuke Poznan, would they be doing so betting that we wouldn't respond with nukes?
01:45:32.000I don't think so, given that they're in NATO.
01:45:35.000So I think that probably we have to go through the calculation of if they nuke Poznan, like a city, we're not talking about like a military tactical nuke, but we're talking about, like, if they nuke a NATO city, they have to assume that NATO's coming back at them, which means full-scale nuclear war.
01:45:59.000I think nukes are the wrong thing to look at, too.
01:46:01.000You think that in 80 years we haven't come up with any other kinds of weapons?
01:46:04.000I honestly don't think anybody's going to break the seal, because the logic I'm describing is not novel.
01:46:11.000I'm sure both Russians and us have doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons and essentially what it looks like in particular situations, which is why I don't think anybody's going to use them.
01:46:30.000I think Russia's going to threaten to use nuclear weapons, but I think it's first going to declare a full all-out war, and I think it's really going to put the hammer down on Ukraine, on its infrastructure, and I think, hopefully, if we're lucky, it ends there.
01:46:43.000Why would Russia just be like, well, we're getting crushed on every front.
01:47:36.000That's one of the reasons that Ukraine was able to make that big advance in the Kharkov region is because it was just a very thin Russian line.
01:47:43.000And it's also why he's done the partial mobilization now to bring in almost 1.5x the total military commitment in Ukraine.
01:47:52.000Like, that's also another reason I don't think we're doing this.
01:47:54.000I think we're a long way down the escalatory ladder from the use of nuclear weapons in terms of, I mean, Ukraine, you know, Russia's going to try and, you know, consolidate its victory, you know, consolidate its territorial gains with this new troop movement and maybe, I don't know, maybe try and move on Kiev.
01:48:11.000Jim Pop says you guys are missing the issue.
01:49:43.000And you just get to see it all and be like, The regret, the amount of hell that you would burn in if you didn't do what you knew you could have done in life.
01:49:50.000So take advantage of it while you're here.
01:49:52.000What happens is you wake up in like a carnival and there's a carnival barker and he's yelling and he shows you a chart that has all of the different probabilistic branches of your life and they're playing circus music and dancing as they do it.
01:50:06.000And then you're just like, huh, so I would've been an astronaut if I went to school on that one day.
01:50:11.000If I didn't call in sick, I would've been a race car driver?
01:50:18.000Like, if they really... I obviously don't think that really happens, but if that were possible, you could look at someone's life and be like, if when you were seven years old, you didn't pick up that quarter, you would not have been on Timcast IRL, you would have actually been in the Amazon building sustainable huts.
01:50:33.000And it's like, wow, that one quarter was- I love- that's chaos theory.
01:50:44.000They introduced you, and then it creates this huge pathway that just that quarter- It's amazing one conversation can change your entire life.
01:53:24.000You need to read the merger agreement, bro.
01:53:26.000Like, it's not... There's a reason Elon talked about how seller-friendly the merger agreement was when he signed it to get Twitter to agree to sell him the company, right?
01:53:34.000And all this stuff he wanted about the bots.
01:53:36.000Like, here's the big winner, and this is to understand it.
01:53:39.000In order to be able to terminate the deal, Elon cannot himself be in breach of the contract, right?
01:53:52.000When you sign a merger agreement, basically what you're saying is, I will do everything I can to get this over the line, get the regulatory approvals.
01:53:57.000etc. So they have text messages of Elon saying, hey, let's slow this down. Wouldn't be smart to
01:54:02.000buy Twitter if we if World War Three is coming after the merger agreement is signed. That's
01:54:07.000breach. He won't doesn't matter what Twitter said or what Twitter did. Elon can't terminate like
01:54:11.000it's there's so many ways in which this is GG for you. You know, Twitter is going to win this lawsuit.
01:54:17.000But I don't want Elon to win. I want you. I mean, yes, actually, no, you're right. Exactly. I don't
01:54:22.000I want Elon to be forced to buy Twitter.
01:54:26.000That would be much better for us than the current management.
01:54:28.000So it's like we should be rooting for Twitter right now to win so that Elon ends up taking it and fixing it.
01:54:55.000Well, you know, a lot of the 18-year-olds don't have a lot of testosterone and don't have a lot of muscle mass.
01:55:02.000And if you look at the conscripts in Russia, a lot of them are on the older side.
01:55:07.000So, it depends on how desperate the situation is.
01:55:10.000I do see the future wars being fought with robots, but with enlistment at an all-time low, I do see, yeah, 30, 30-year-olds, 40-year-olds possibly even being drafted if there's a potential crazy situation.
01:55:23.000Ashboro says power is out here in North Carolina generator is going and my awesome wife who I love dearly is half
01:55:29.000asleep leaning against Me not a bad way to end the night man. That's crazy
01:55:32.000hurricane Ian Crosses over Florida just wreaking havoc and then curves
01:55:37.000and goes back into South Carolina That is brutal when I was meditating on it
01:55:41.000I was like I'm gonna disperse this this thing and then so I tried to
01:55:44.000visualize moving the wind in the opposite direction to make it push to a standstill and then
01:55:49.000Vacuuming out that center. I are hitting it with lightning or something just charging it or deep discharging it and it
01:55:54.000stopped I was watching the the radar and it's paused for a moment
01:55:59.000But I wonder if I just pulled it back like a slingshot by doing that not committed
01:56:02.000You see what happened was it was crossing here's Florida and it's crossing over and then you were like go the other
01:56:08.000way go the other It's brutal stuff, man.
01:56:09.000back in its South Carolina. It was right before it made landfall in Florida. You can see for
01:56:12.000a moment right before it hits it stops and starts to go west and you're like, whoa, did
01:56:15.000we just avert catastrophe and then it goes in hard and then it comes back around like
01:56:19.000a boomerang. Wicked. It's brutal stuff, man. It is unfortunate. David Troutman says never
01:56:27.000got a response from my emails about building the Tim Caster guitar.
01:56:31.000Ready to buy these meteorite pieces and dragon scales.
01:56:54.000Not only do we have numerous little water things for him, we have two water fountains that filter the water, and then we even turn the sink on for him.
01:57:02.000Cats don't really like drinking water.
02:00:40.000I am, unless they increase the drafting age like they did in Russia, so that's a possibility, but I'm still not worried about it.
02:00:49.000I just, I just, I'm not worried about it.
02:00:51.000I think if it came to the point, that point, it would just be absolute breakdown and chaos in the United States.
02:00:57.000The political system in this country is so broken as it is, I just don't see that happening.
02:01:02.000But my friends, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, become a member over at TimCast.com.
