In this episode, we discuss the latest in fake news and conspiracy theories, including the discovery that the U.S. has bio-labs in Ukraine, a new record high in gas prices, and more!
00:00:02.000Speaking before the Senate, Victoria Nuland confirmed there are biolabs in Ukraine, and that the U.S.
00:00:09.000is concerned Russia may seize them, and that the U.S.
00:00:13.000is working with Ukraine to figure out what to do with these biolabs.
00:00:17.000Now, of course, we've been getting an endless stream of media claiming it's all a big conspiracy theory, and these fact-checkers do something interesting.
00:00:23.000They fact check an extreme version of the story.
00:00:27.000So you see this meme going around saying that Russia was striking U.S.
00:00:42.000Debunking the actual fake news and showing you this testimony about actual bio labs in Ukraine, I think is significant.
00:00:50.000Because if we're trying to understand how to end this conflict with peace and negotiations, diplomacy, we kind of need to know what the complaints are from the people who invaded.
00:00:59.000Granted, I think Putin is in the wrong completely.
00:01:02.000He invaded, but it makes sense to understand the full context of the story.
00:01:33.000So we're gonna talk about all that stuff.
00:01:34.000We also got the Parental Rights and Education Bill in Florida passing.
00:01:37.000Democrats call that the Don't Say Gay Bill, which is a complete and total lie in fabrication, because the bill has barely anything to do with that subject matter.
00:02:09.000I'm with a company called X-Strategies LLC.
00:02:12.000We are advisors and digital strategists for a bunch of conservative politicians and non-profits and super PACs, and we work to elect America First candidates and unelect the RINOs.
00:02:24.000The CEO of our company today had to testify before the sham January 6th committee.
00:02:29.000Shout out to Alex Brusiewicz for having to suffer through that today, too.
00:02:32.000Yeah, and Enrique Tarrio got arrested.
00:02:35.000For a conspiracy on January 6th, even though he wasn't there.
00:02:43.000They're hauling people before this committee who had nothing to do with the riot at the Capitol, and they're trying to simply criminalize everyone that supported President Trump.
00:02:52.000On average, a response to the subpoena for the January 6th committee costs $100,000.
00:02:57.000Yeah, they're wasting your tax dollars.
00:04:09.000I'm sure Colbert's conscience is going to be really clean when food becomes all but entirely unaffordable for poor people because gas prices have gone up and it's more difficult to get food to grocery stores.
00:04:21.000People don't realize this is why they virtue signal so much, so they can power their vehicles.
00:04:46.000I'm excited for tonight's conversation because I spent most of the day very upset about the price of gas.
00:04:50.000I saw that it went up 8 cents a gallon overnight in Colorado and it hit a new record here as well.
00:04:56.000So hopefully I'll be able to keep calm and we'll be able to make some good progress tonight.

00:05:32.000It is but a tweet from Glenn Greenwald, who says, Ukraine has biological research facilities, says Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland.
00:05:41.000When asked by Senator Rubio if Ukraine has biological or chemical weapons, Well, I only have a minute left.
00:05:46.000Russia may get them, but set, but she says she's 100% sure that if there's a biological
00:06:14.000Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?
00:06:20.000Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of.
00:06:37.000So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of I'm sure you're aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out there all kinds of information about how they've uncovered a plot by the Ukrainians to release biological weapons in the country and with NATO's coordination.
00:07:02.000If there's a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside of Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians that would be behind it?
00:07:11.000There is no doubt in my mind, Senator, and it is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they're planning to do themselves.
00:07:23.000If there was anything that could remove all confidence I had in what Victoria Nuland was saying, it's Marco Rubio teeing up the answer to her.
00:07:32.000Of course, if there is an attack, it's Russia, right?
00:08:30.000So one thing that she mentioned in 2013 is that the United States government had spent over $5 billion trying to promote democracy in Ukraine, and there was a leaked phone call between her and America's ambassador.
00:08:44.000to Europe, where she was discussing who she thought would be a good leader for Ukraine.
00:08:50.000And wouldn't you know, it just happens by coincidence, a couple weeks later, that person becomes prime minister.
00:08:57.000And yeah, and so we talk about how Russia spending 46, and not even Russia, non-state actors in Russia spending $46,000 on Facebook ads was a quote-unquote act of war.
00:09:09.000And the United States government has thrown literal billions of dollars at Ukraine to influence their leadership.
00:09:15.000This woman was on the phone, on record, saying there was a specific person she wanted in charge of government there.
00:09:21.000That person ends up in that position weeks later, and I'm supposed to trust this person, that they have the best interest of that nation in mind, and that she's going to tell me about Russia's nefarious deeds.
00:09:34.000The CIA just overthrew... I mean, they were part of a coup when they put in Poroshenko, and yeah, I mean, that's just on the table now.
00:09:41.000Everything I look at says there's overwhelming evidence the United States... Now that we've accepted that the CIA has been involved with the overthrow, and I'm like, is there evidence that says that it's... Well, we need... That's not... So it's not?
00:09:54.000Every time I ask it, they're like, yeah, it's totally, totally confirmed.
00:10:12.000There's a big difference between the CIA actually having agents and assets going in and doing these things, Now that being said, I would not be surprised in any sense that the CIA did this.
00:10:24.000I want to be very, very careful and precise because we're dealing with the fact that the undersecretary just said there are biolabs.
00:11:06.000They fact-check a different story than the one that's actually being discussed, and then anytime the story comes up, they get to slap false on it.
00:11:34.000independent fact-checking outlets reported. I actually don't think those claims are true,
00:11:38.000to be honest, because we looked at the map of missile strikes and the map of labs and they
00:11:41.000don't line up. It's like weird that people would make that claim when all you need to do is say,
00:11:46.000Putin's mad about labs. He's probably blown up stuff near the lab so that he can take the labs.
00:11:50.000I would, yeah, I would assume Russia wants the bio labs, as Newland actually said in
00:11:55.000front of Marco Rubio regarding Russia would seize them.
00:11:58.000If it's war or not, I think historically you see border skirmishes that aren't considered war.
00:12:03.000Like if an enemy is setting up artillery on the other side of the border from your country, you may send in a party to destroy the artillery and then come back.
00:12:11.000And it's not really an act of war, it's more of just like...
00:12:14.000Or sometimes they'd go in and they'd steal food from like the enemy, but it wasn't really war.
00:12:17.000You ready for this part of the same article?
00:12:19.000Oh, yeah, the same article says the ukrainian and u.s.
00:12:22.000Government's partnered in august 2005 to prevent the proliferation of dangerous pathogens and related
00:12:26.000expertise and to minimize potential biological threats according to the treaty
00:12:30.000Interfax ukraine reported in may 2020 that part of the agreement was aimed at modernizing state laboratories in
00:12:35.000the odessa karkiv laviv kiev venice venustia kursan and
00:12:40.000Dnipropetrovsk regions i'm trying those efforts included making repairs updating equipment and purchasing supplies
00:12:48.000The security service of ukraine to the laboratories financed from the state budget are subordinate to the ministry of
00:12:53.000health and the state services on food safety and consumer protection according to interfax
00:12:57.000ukraine The u.s. Embassy in ukraine sought to set the record
00:13:00.000straight on these biolabs claim In April 2020, calling the theories disinformation spreading in some circles in Ukraine that mirrors Russian disinformation regarding the strong U.S.-Ukrainian partnership to reduce biological threats.
00:13:11.000It sure sounds like they're trying really hard to claim that although the U.S.
00:13:15.000did partner and help Ukraine with a lot of the work they were doing in certain biological areas, these are not U.S.
00:13:26.000Well, usually they hire a company like EcoHealth Alliance to get involved for them so that they can wipe their hands of it.
00:13:32.000Well yeah what's with our country and like funding all of this insane biological research around the globe as you know we saw with the the Wuhan lab too and I think you know this goes back to I you know the way this war has been presented to us in the media is that you know Ukraine is the good guys who can do no wrong and everything we have to take the government of Ukraine's word over Over anything else and as we've seen we've been fed so many so many lies as this war has happened between you know Imminent nuclear meltdown that turned out to be false as Zelensky was calling for a no-fly zone I think it just goes back when you're in a war Propaganda is very important and propaganda to help your side win is very important and a lot of that is being
00:14:10.000A lot of that is just being fed to us by our media.
00:14:12.000I want to read the last portion of this article, because this is interesting.
00:14:15.000Based on our research, we rate false the claim that there are U.S.
00:15:05.000Yeah, well, like I said on our last episode, the only time you need to really come in with these fact checks is if there's some kernel of truth that you don't want people discussing.
00:15:14.000Maybe I'm being a little hyperbolic, but we see it frequently.
00:15:17.000And I will say this, after the last five or six years, it is absolutely laughable that they think they would have any credibility talking about, A, biological laboratories, bioweapons labs, and where they're getting their funding, and B, Russian disinformation.
00:15:31.000It doesn't exactly bolster my confidence in the veracity of their claims that they're using that phrase.
00:16:05.000These are the same types of headlines that we saw at the beginning of the COVID pandemic when people were pushing the lab leak theory.
00:16:12.000I'll never forget the one from the Washington Post when they literally said Tom Cotton is repeating a conspiracy theory about COVID that has already been debunked.
00:16:20.000Like this is the same exact game plan that they did when COVID started with the lab, when they covered for the lab leak from China.
00:16:26.000What I'm starting to notice is when you debunk something, it doesn't mean that it wasn't right.
00:16:31.000Well, the difference today between disinformation and something that's true is only a couple of weeks or months now.
00:17:01.000It's really funny, you know, people shouldn't play games with me because I know what I'm talking about.
00:17:04.000And I'll say something, and they'll, you know, there's, this is a really good example.
00:17:09.000So I'll give you a hypothetical, but there, because I don't want to invade, I don't want to violate anyone's privacies, but.
00:17:14.000So you'll say something like, did you guys hear about, you'll be at a party, and you'll be like, do you hear about these biolabs in Ukraine now?
00:17:20.000Russia, of course, probably is not happy with it.
00:17:50.000Also, I walk into a party, I grab a beer, I'm like, how about that bio lab?
00:17:54.000Everyone's like, oh yeah, and we're all drinking.
00:17:55.000I just got to say, I really hope they're not eating bat soup in Ukraine.
00:17:59.000Because that's the most logical explanation of where biological weapons come from, right?
00:18:04.000You were a conspiracy theorist if you thought that the virus, which was first Infecting people right near a biological weapons research lab was made in a biological weapons research lab instead of coming from a bat.
00:18:17.000So what happens is you've got all these labs in Ukraine and China's saying like, tell us what viruses are in it.
00:18:23.000In like a month, all of a sudden there's like 12 new viruses that emerge in Ukraine.
00:18:27.000And then the mainstream media goes, that was an armadillo.
00:18:40.000So when I was at the Daily Caller back when COVID first started, we were one of the first news outlets that ran stories about the potential for, that this virus came from a lab.
00:18:51.000The way Facebook works is the way you get one of those fact checks on your post.
00:18:55.000Is a fact checker has to write an actual story.
00:18:57.000One of their certified fact checkers has to write a story about your post and you get dinged.
00:19:01.000And if you get a certain amount of them, you get your account to monetize.
00:19:03.000We got one for running lab leak stories.
00:19:06.000Like this is the media and big tech and you know, the deep state working together to suppress information that they don't want the public to know.
00:19:14.000But they apologized, of course, right?
00:19:22.000Of course they didn't apologize, but when the info finally came out that actually there is merit to the lab leak story, they stopped the censorship.
00:19:28.000Remember when... What was that guy's name?
00:19:49.000And that guy, too, used to work for the DCCC and Barbara Boxer and a bunch of other Democrats, too.
00:19:55.000So you had this Democrat comms guy who now works at Facebook talking about how they're censoring a story that's unfavorable to the then-Democrat candidate for president.
00:20:04.000What concerns me right here is that there's going to be a leak.
00:21:15.000Bill Gates warns of smallpox terror attacks as he seeks research funds.
00:21:19.000Look, this just could be him being like, I'd like money, please.
00:21:23.000Or maybe we should pay attention to what powerful global elites are saying about stuff when you have people like Rubio saying there could be a bio-attack.
00:21:55.000Bill Gates was funding EcoHealth Alliance, which was working- Can you think of a more trustworthy- Oh, did you not- Is that not on the- I don't know.
00:22:26.000I'm going to give Bill Gates the benefit of the doubt, even though I don't like the guy, and say, okay, maybe he's right and knows something about the potential terror attacks.
00:22:34.000Yeah, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation committed a $1.5 million grant to the EcoHealth Alliance in 2020.
00:23:10.000I mean, honestly, it's not it's not far fetched to believe that Bill Gates is providing is providing this, you know, financial assistance to this organization.
00:23:37.000Whatever you want to believe, that there's a grand cabal planning these things and Bill Gates is involved, or Bill Gates is a superhero who's saving people, there seems like a risk of smallpox terror attacks.
00:24:21.000You create a chamber, it's like a boat.
00:24:25.000You vacuum out the boat area of it so it floats.
00:24:28.000The real flex is not that you go to an underground layer when it hits the fan, it's that you force your enemies into an underground layer.
00:24:34.000Can we make something strong enough to withstand a large enough vacuum to actually float on Yeah, I think it's going to be a metamaterial like, um, aerogel.
00:24:44.000And then what you do is you create a bunch of little pockets of holes inside of this boat and then you vacuum out all these little pockets of holes.
00:24:50.000So you've got like a light, lighter than air thing.
00:24:53.000And then if it's big enough, it should be able to carry people and farms and stuff.
00:24:56.000So that it's, yeah, so it would be, as a whole, it would be, uh, it would, it's, it's not the mass, it's the, um, displacement of gases.
00:25:05.000And then, uh, you strap an ion thruster on it and fly it around.
00:25:20.000It's a guy writing for foreign policy, foreignpolicy.com, the preeminent foreign policy magazine.
00:25:27.000He says, Russia helped create and is now actively amplifying a conspiracy theory claiming the invasion of Ukraine is being done to destroy U.S.-run bioweapons facilities.
00:25:44.000But this is the thing, it's like, you know, foreign policy, that's, you know, that's held up as like this, you know, by the establishment as this, you know, trustworthy news outlet.
00:27:20.000Bloggers say Putin bombs Biden-owned villa in Ukraine while hammering biolabs and pedo rings.
00:27:25.000Alright, well, I'm gonna give you that one, PolitiFact.
00:27:29.000That sounds like... This is the problem.
00:27:32.000It's because there'll be like a guy wearing like a nice suit and he'll be like, you know, I'm concerned about these biolabs in Ukraine.
00:27:38.000And then there'll be like a crazy guy with a tinfoil hat next to him going like, you're right!
00:27:42.000The US is funding them and there's pedos!
00:27:44.000And then the fact checker goes, I'm gonna run with that one.
00:27:47.000Or those two people actually hate each other in real life, but the media associates them with one another, as is the case with the infamous conspiracy theory pyramid that I reviewed and debunked on my channel.
00:27:59.000The whole point is you want to link people who have basically nothing in common other than the fact that they're questioning the official narrative.
00:28:06.000There's a comic that's being shared by all of these leftists, and it's the weirdest thing.
00:28:11.000And it shows a guy sitting on a couch with what appears to be his wife or something.
00:28:15.000And he's got a shirt with an American flag and he's wearing a red hat.
00:28:17.000And I'm like, gee, I wonder what that's supposed to symbolize.
00:28:20.000And he's watching the news and he says, Russia says they're just taking back what's rightfully
00:28:47.000You can try to do an honest analysis of Putin's motives and reject a lot of the propaganda coming from the warfare state and the industrial military complex and their lackeys in the media without supporting Putin or his invasion.
00:29:15.000Like that person literally doesn't exist, but you're going to fling bows and arrows at them because it's easier.
00:29:20.000The best they can do is find Republicans who Putin supports, at least according to that Right, exactly.
00:29:26.000They're trying, they're really trying, and it's kind of sad because there are actually real things that we could be working toward fixing together, but no, it has to be Russia.
00:29:34.000We don't have any problems that need fixing right now, Lydia.
00:29:36.000Yeah, we're good. Let's let's let's let's crank this up to 11
00:29:41.000official warns cornered Russian leader could use small nukes on Ukrainian cities in worst-case scenario after Kremlin officials privately denounce Putin's cluster-F invasion.
00:29:51.000With his forces bogged down in snow and minus 20 C freeze on the way.
00:29:56.000I kinda wanna just say at this point... Bull-ish?
00:30:00.000Like... They're coming out and they're like... Russia could do a bio-attack!
00:30:07.000And I'm like, okay, look, look, look, hold on.
00:30:09.000When they talked about the invasion, I said it's starting to sound like Chicken Little, and then there was an invasion.
00:30:13.000So far, be it for me, I have no moral standing at this point to claim Putin won't be using nukes because I was certainly wrong about him invading Kiev.
00:30:21.000But at this point, I'm just like, yo, you've beaten us over the head screaming about the escalation and Putin is crazy over and over again.
00:30:29.000Yeah, well, I mean, look, the moral of the story of the boy who cried wolf is not that those stupid village people didn't believe him the one time he was telling the truth.
00:30:36.000It was that he kept lying, and so he lost all of his credibility.
00:30:39.000And that's the exact case with the media.
00:30:41.000Maybe this is the one time where they have real information about something that's actually gonna happen.
00:31:43.000And I'm just kind of like, you know, look, he does look a little sickly, but he could be getting old.
00:31:51.000But to claim that there's like, there's scant evidence, it's an anonymous source claiming he's got terminal bowel cancer.
00:31:57.000We've had great luck with those anonymous sources over the past couple years.
00:31:59.000I don't know if I, I don't, I definitely don't believe that either, because did you see the video of Putin that went viral a couple months ago of him playing hockey?
00:32:08.000It's really funny because he's like, he's playing in a hockey game and all of the other players on the ice are just like letting him score.
00:32:26.000He took like a few weeks to a couple months off.
00:32:28.000I don't know but do you remember like, I forget when this was, this was probably over a year ago when there were reports going around that Kim Jong-un was on his deathbed.
00:32:36.000CNN was like reporting that Kim Jong-un was on his deathbed and basically just caused an international incident and that turned out to be false.
00:33:10.000I feel like it's also not just that they lie, it's that they completely ignore real problems that matter a lot more to Americans.
00:33:18.000So they've been obsessed with this invasion in Ukraine.
00:33:20.000We have an invasion at our southern border right now, but the media portrays that As compassionate that the Biden administration just allows this to happen.
00:33:30.000Also, we have an invasion in Libya and in Iraq that we're perpetrating right now that you don't see much of this talking about it, unfortunately.
00:33:37.000You should do a bit where CNN hires Jussie Smollett and then everyone's just like, we trust him.
00:33:52.000Because, you know, I'll keep saying it every single time, like, right now I can just be like, the media that believe, the people who believe Jesse Smollett are lecturing me about biolabs in Ukraine.
00:34:02.000Not gonna happen this time, ladies and gentlemen.
00:34:04.000So the thing about these news articles, this says, Western intelligence suggests.
00:34:07.000They're not saying that it's real, they're just pointing out that the intelligence suggests it.
00:34:10.000And then the other one is like, he may use, or he could use nukes.
00:34:15.000He could grow lasers out of his arms and shoot them, too.
00:34:17.000People familiar with the matter have said that Putin might use nukes.
00:34:21.000My favorite thing is people familiar with a person's thinking.
00:34:26.000I'm familiar with the media's thinking and I think they're completely full of it.
00:34:29.000I'm familiar with Ian's thinking and I'm reporting that he plans on buying rocks.
00:34:36.000I'm reporting Ian may be rolling a 20 at some point.
00:34:39.000I just remembered a great example of one of those stories.
00:34:43.000I gotta give a shout out to my friend Ben Williamson who used to work for Mark Meadows and there was a story like a little while ago when the media was like someone familiar with Mark Meadows' thinking and Ben was his senior advisor and he just goes, with all due respect to the person familiar with his thinking, this story is bullshit.
00:35:01.000I want to give a shout out to our good friends at The Daily Wire who very, very carefully crafted this headline in two ways.
00:35:06.000Mad Vlad, Western Intelligence, suggests Putin terminally ill reports.
00:35:13.000So what they're basically saying is, first of all, we're not saying he's terminally ill, and those who are claiming it are only kind of claiming it.
00:35:21.000So The Daily Wire has really hedged this article quite a bit.
00:35:25.000Basically, it seems like everybody's kind of like, I don't think he's sick, you know?
00:35:30.000I gotta be honest though, I mean, you know, maybe.
00:35:33.000Regardless of whether or not he's actually got bowel cancer or anything like that, dude is 69.
00:35:50.000It's not necessarily about him being terminally ill, but him being like, I'm old, and before I pass, I'm gonna see Russia, you know, return to its former glory.
00:35:58.000It could also be him understanding that he is never going to have the opportunity of a leader as completely inept as Joe Biden being in office ever again.
00:36:05.000He probably knows that Joe is not going to last the full term.
00:36:09.000So he wants to get it taken care of now.
00:36:18.000You know, his average age, World Health Organization.
00:36:20.000Going off what Seamus just said, what was that article you were showing me right before the show where like the Saudi, that has people like this didn't take.
00:36:29.000I think that Biden was trying to make a call to Putin and he wouldn't take a call from Putin, but he did take a call from the UAE or the UAE took calls from Putin or whatever.
00:36:52.000There's a 0% chance that ever happens.
00:36:55.000Also, the thing I love about that story is Biden thinks it makes him look good to say like, I went to that foreign leader and I called him mean.
00:37:16.000There's also so many of those like similar stories with Biden where he claims he did all of these things that he never, like he claimed, like he always claims that he like marched, he was arrested while protesting with Nelson Mandela.
00:38:29.000He comes from a universe where people still frequently use the phrase malarkey.
00:38:35.000He's fighting everything he's doing, all these wars, because he's trying to restore the original timeline and Vladimir Putin's trying to stop him.
00:38:41.000So it was like Putin and Biden met at a young age and worked together and then had a falling out when, you know, the Large Hadron Collider goes off and sends them into different dimensions and Putin's trying to stop him?
00:40:03.000It's genuinely sad, but it's also terrible and worthy of ridicule that he's president of the United States and that no one's willing to acknowledge that he has severe psychological and cognitive deficits.
00:42:05.000Let's say it is time for us to be doing what we do every day, but that time is now.
00:42:09.000Let me find the full quote, because it's actually one of the funniest things ever.
00:42:13.000So I tweeted the video of it that day, and I had so many blue checks who got mad at me for not including the whole thing, even though the whole thing didn't even make her look that much better.
00:43:12.000Why is Russia... Man, I go into a lot of detail about why Russia's invasion was wrong, and I'm like, I'm pretty sure the people who listen to me can understand my argument as to why it's wrong, whether they agree or not.
00:43:23.000Kamala Harris, this is the craziest thing.
00:43:26.000I suppose you need to understand her audience, Democrat voters.
00:43:30.000They really do need it dumbed down, I guess.
00:43:33.000I don't know. But she's not, but that's the thing. I guess that's an example of it being dumbed down,
00:43:38.000but a lot of the times it's not dumbing things down. It's making them really incoherent.
00:43:42.000Yeah. Well, I mean, what is she saying? That was like explaining to a five-year-old. Yeah,
00:43:45.000exactly. No, that was a five-year-old explaining it. Yeah.
00:43:47.000Did you guys see the little golden book of Kamala Harris? No. Oh gosh, why?
00:43:52.000But yeah, for real, like little golden books are like the little elf climbed the tree and then there's one where it's like Kamala Harris is the president because she's a woman or something like that.
00:44:16.000But we're supposed to celebrate that as like this giant victory for women that Kamala Harris is vice president, even though she was chosen for the job specifically because of her race and gender, right after she dropped out of the presidential race before Iowa, because she was polling at 2% in her home state.
00:44:33.000And like, called Joe Biden a racist, and basically said that there was validity to the claims, that he was guilty of sexual assault, and then he's like, you wanna be my VP, man?
00:45:10.000I'm like, that's where we're at, I guess.
00:45:12.000And then they have Jackie Robinson, I guess.
00:45:18.000is actually good at the game and says you're making us all look bad so we had to get involved Kamala Harris may be the first female VP but like isn't like that kind of a bad thing because she's making women look bad weren't you weren't we told that she's the first president the first female president yeah it's true and Jill Biden said she was president as well at this point it's canon yeah that's canon For the rest of time women will have to know that the first female vice president of this country was a very incompetent person who was chosen specifically because of her gender.
00:45:49.000When I like to laugh sometimes I like to google back from right after the first democratic debate in 2019 When Kamala Harris's campaign sold t-shirts with her picture on it when she was a kid that said, that little girl was me.
00:46:02.000Of her saying that when she said that to Biden.
00:46:04.000I triggered a whole bunch of blue checks because I tweeted that it would be kind of upsetting or it would be kind of lame if the first female president gained the office through the death of the president and not through the election of the people of the country.
00:46:19.000And they all went nuts on me over this.
00:47:15.000I remember watching ContraPoints explain why you should vote for Joe Biden and I remember watching a bunch of progressives explain why you should vote for Joe Biden and their arguments were always because Trump X, Y, or Z. Yeah, of course.
00:47:31.000And I remember my explanation for why I personally was voting for Trump.
00:47:50.000But I can give you a real argument based on the guy I'm choosing to vote for.
00:47:53.000For the people who are voting for Biden, they're like, Trump is bad.
00:47:56.000And I'm like, well, Biden's bad too, but they vote for him anyway.
00:48:00.000Well, he's a product of sort of the rabid desire of the media of, you know, permanent Washington to remove Trump from power because he was the biggest threat to the establishment's power that we've ever seen in politics.
00:48:16.000You know, I think you'd be very hard pressed to find somebody who voted for Biden because they were very excited to have Joe Biden as president.
00:48:25.000They voted for him because they were riled up, because they were convinced that Donald Trump was just this biggest threat to democracy that ever existed.
00:48:33.000And they used, they weaponized the pandemic against him, the fact that this happened during a pandemic year.
00:48:38.000And they, you know, they were basically saying that every COVID death was somebody Donald Trump murdered.
00:48:43.000And between like, Obviously big tech and the media being extremely biased to one side between states, you know, completely overhauling their voting laws because just, you know, justifying it because of the pandemic.
00:48:55.000You had this perfect storm where you have this guy now who is essentially a puppet of the establishment that was threatened by Trump, who's now ruining our country.
00:49:03.000Well, that's what you get with Joe Biden, man.
00:49:06.000Let's talk about the story out of Russia.
00:49:49.000So a lot of people are joking that, like, Russia is going to end up being the healthiest place on the planet.
00:49:54.000Because in Chile, it was very disturbing because Diet Coke had been, it surged into the country basically in the last, the decade prior, and obesity was rampant.
00:50:05.000When I heard that McDonald's, and Facebook, and Google, and Apple, and MasterCard were all pulling out, I was like, I really would love to be, like, to experience that right now.
00:50:16.000Just to, like, you wake up, and it's quiet.
00:50:20.000You walk outside, and you look around, and you don't hear anything, and you hear, like, a woodpecker in the distance, and you're like, and that's it.
00:50:28.000So the people in Russia, I'm sure, in all seriousness, are probably... I don't think they're freaking out over McDonald's, to be honest.
00:50:33.000They're probably worried their ATMs aren't working, or they're probably worried... I think March 9th, tomorrow, is the last day for Visa and MasterCard to work.
00:50:48.000Yeah, that's what I meant when I was referring to the big banks, by the way, is Visa and MasterCard pulling out.
00:50:51.000But there's like Deloitte, there's like Ernst Young, there's a bunch of big financials, international financial organizations that are cutting off Russia.
00:50:58.000There's a lot, like, it's not even that, too.
00:51:00.000Like, FIFA banned Russia's soccer team from the World Cup.
00:51:34.000Well, I was gonna say, the real blow to Russia right now is that Adidas is shutting down their stores, and we all know that they only wear those tracksuits, right?
00:51:52.000All of these like international institutions are leaving Russia.
00:51:56.000It's it's like imagine there's a giant like squid alien creature with its tentacles all over all these countries and something happened to where they're like repeat they're like pulling away from Russia and it's finally clearing a path the vines are being torn away and now Russia is just like I mean, look, if you are one of these people who thinks late-stage capitalism is awful, you should probably be happy these companies are pulling out of Russia.
00:52:22.000Because I gotta be honest, I understand making life harder for Russians and affecting their economy is a bad thing.
00:52:28.000But Google, Facebook, McDonald's going away would not be bad for you.
00:52:32.000It concerns me because if there really was a revolution in the United States, like a good, healthy revolution, that the corporate government, like the global corporations would just cut us all off.
00:52:57.000It's also just like a giant virtue signal, too, because these same corporations will never stop doing business in China because they have so much more financial interest in China.
00:54:06.000Yeah, I heard they just, like, put the bodies into the construction of the building.
00:54:08.000Like, they just... When they're sealing off an area or cementing it, they just dump the body and then pour the cement over it and be like, eh, I'm sold.
00:54:51.000Yeah, it's like how you can spell healthcare with either a space or all one word.
00:54:56.000Well, it's funny to me that McDonald's is coming out of Russia and they refuse to do anything about China where they are actually actively racist in their commercials.
00:55:04.000McDonald's themselves is like a company.
00:55:08.000They just go along with it because it's what China wants.
00:55:10.000Anything China wants, China, I guess, is a much bigger deal than Russia.
00:55:14.000And yeah, and like going off that, like obviously we're mad by how expensive gas has gotten due to the fact that the world is sanctioning one of the biggest oil producers in the world.
00:55:22.000Imagine if China invades Taiwan and all of a sudden all of these same countries are now sanctioning China, which produces like 80% of the ingredients in our medicines and a lot of our semiconductors.
00:55:33.000Like, I know we complain about the price of gas, but imagine we're sanctioning a country that produces so much of our manufactured goods.
00:55:39.000On the upside, maybe China won't invade Taiwan because they will be sanctioned like this and they'll have total cutoff from the global economy.
00:55:45.000So I don't know about that story about bodies being in the stadium, because that might have been propaganda to manipulate.
00:55:51.000But I did see a report that said 34 deaths in the construction of the stadium.
00:55:56.000And now I'm looking at this story about FIFA inundated with 17 million requests for World Cup tickets.
00:56:01.000So it's just kind of like, you know, this is a country that we've heavily criticized, that exploits people to an extreme degree, and we're like, yeah, but they're cool.
00:56:43.000Americans, and it's mostly these Democrat types, don't want to talk about it.
00:56:48.000They're the ones who get angry and make the comics, dismissing any criticism of them, protesting issues that they actually support, right?
00:56:55.000So when you have people saying at Occupy Wall Street, like, oh, these billionaire elites, and then they put up a shrine to Steve Jobs, I'm like, don't you see a little hypocrisy there?
00:57:03.000Like, this is the guy who's exploiting labor.
00:57:12.000It's like they, you know, I remember I had a friend who was in college and she was like, my school is making me buy an Apple desktop for design.
00:57:23.000And she's like, you have to, otherwise they fail you.
00:57:25.000And then I was like, except you can get the same powered computer running the Mac OS for a third of the cost if you just build it yourself.
00:57:33.000And she's like, they won't allow that.
00:57:34.000I'm just like, I absolutely despise this company, man.
00:57:36.000No, and as somebody who works in a creative field, who does animation, who's spent a decent amount of time around other animators, there's absolutely no reason that you need to use a Mac to do creative work.
00:57:46.000But Apple played it really, really smart by making it... These college kids would get student loans, and they'd spend a thousand bucks on a $300 computer.
00:57:55.000With a proprietary charger and everything.
00:58:03.000And so then all of a sudden you get Occupy Wall Street, and they're like, Mac's good, and we're gonna celebrate, put up a shrine for Steve Jobs.
00:58:42.000People say like, oh, well, Ubuntu doesn't get viruses either.
00:58:44.000And it's like, yeah, because like 0.03% of people are using Ubuntu.
00:58:49.000Granted, you know, a lot of stores like Walmart, I don't know specifically Walmart, but a lot of big box stores use Linux for all of their point of sale terminals and self-checkouts because it's free.
01:00:49.000I want to fact check, make sure in real time that I'm right, because I just followed this Sierra, James O'Keefe, and no, okay, so right, I was right, it was someone else.
01:00:58.000Mark Mazzetti was the guy that got confronted by James O'Keefe over, I believe, this story.
01:01:05.000So you have this guy, this is Matthew, National Security Advisor Matthew Rosenberg, who's saying these things, and a different New York Times reporter was being questioned or challenged over it.
01:01:16.000So, the point of this story, I'll tell you first and foremost, the media, these journalists, they believe exactly what we've been saying.
01:01:23.000That it was bad, but come on, you're traumatized, it wasn't that bad.
01:01:58.000It just goes to show that what the polling has said is valid, which is that More Americans want to see the 2020 riots investigated than want to see January 6th investigated.
01:02:10.000It's something like less than half of Americans, it's 40-something percent, 46 percent, think that the January 6th committee is good and they want the investigation to continue.
01:02:20.000And two-thirds of voters want Congress to investigate the 2020 riots.
01:02:24.000So people, I mean, the narrative's falling apart, even among the people who are supposed to be forwarding it.
01:02:30.000There are also two reasons why you should care about What about that?
01:02:33.000And the first reason is, you know, all the people, all the non-violent defendants from J6 that are still in jail without lawyers, without trials.
01:02:42.000They're being hunted, they were hunted down by the DOJ and the FBI, these people for trespassing charges and locked them away.
01:02:48.000The second reason you should care is because this sham January 6th committee in Congress is targeting Republicans that had nothing to do with January 6th.
01:02:56.000They had nothing to do with the riot at the Capitol.
01:02:58.000They are simply political opponents of people on the committee.
01:03:01.000One of those people is my boss, Alex Brusiewicz, who all he did was organize several peaceful protests against the election.
01:03:07.000He did not go into the Capitol on January 6th.
01:03:09.000He was not involved, but he got a subpoena and had to testify today.
01:03:13.000Another example is Andrew Sarabian and Arthur Schwartz, who are two more GOP strategists.
01:03:19.000They got a subpoena and they weren't even there or working for Trump on January 6th.
01:03:23.000They're simply friends with Donald Trump Jr.
01:03:25.000and running a super PAC that's opposing Liz Cheney.
01:03:48.000Well yeah, on the legal, well it's different on the legal side, like when we just talk about it, you know, it seems like it'd be easy to do that, but these people are putting the full force of government on a lot of these innocent people that didn't do anything wrong.
01:04:08.000Well, whenever you have Republican leadership complaining about how the far left has taken this country too far in that direction, you have to ask, why did you let them?
01:04:24.000I just want to highlight how even conservative outlets are referring to it by that instead of calling it the actual title of the bill or just like H.R.
01:04:35.000I'm just like, that's why I liked the other day we mentioned Christina Pasha, the spokesperson for DeSantis, when she called the anti-grooming bill and basically called the Democrats groomers.
01:04:45.000Or when Ron DeSantis walked up to those kids and was like, you don't got to wear those if you don't want to, you know, take, please take them off.
01:04:52.000And he, I think he said later that he didn't want people to think he made them do it.
01:04:56.000So like, I don't care if you wear it, just, you know, I'm not making you do it.
01:06:52.000I've said this on the show before, but whenever a Republican actually tries to reverse left-wing policy rather than simply upholding the status quo or arguing that our rights should be intruded upon more slowly, they're referred to as a radical, even though the whole point of their position is for them to reverse that which the left has put in place.
01:07:13.000I'm waiting for source confirmation on some breaking facts.
01:07:16.000I'm thinking about the history of leadership governments and stuff.
01:07:19.000Most of them, I think, have been pretty bad over the years.
01:07:22.000Like if you take a thousand years, you probably got like 960 years of trash leadership.
01:07:26.000And then you get these great, these people that are so good because they're just actually good.
01:07:30.000And then they call them the great or something like that.
01:07:33.000And they give them these titles because they were actually intelligent people somehow that got into power that didn't get themselves killed.
01:07:53.000No, no, I mean like, you've got the New York Times outright lying about all this stuff.
01:07:57.000You've got the government coming and rounding people up in a solitary confinement.
01:08:00.000And somehow we're able to criticize them very heavily and keep talking about this and showing like Veritas and pushing back on it.
01:08:07.000I'm just like, after everything we've seen, after every media organization has lied about almost every single story, how does a show like this exist?
01:08:19.000I think the success of this show kind of derives from that, where people are waking up to the fact that all these people do is lie, and all they are are tools for large corporations and the establishment in this country, and shows like this aren't.
01:08:30.000What I mean is, why hasn't YouTube taken it down?
01:08:32.000Because the people in charge are being coerced by the military-industrial complex.
01:09:01.000People have been deleted from YouTube.
01:09:03.000But why take down Tim's show when all you have to do is say Tim Pool is a far-right extremist and anyone who repeats what he says is a bigot?
01:09:12.000At some point it doesn't, you're correct.
01:09:13.000And I think that's when they do start taking people down.
01:09:16.000But the average person is still too afraid to talk about these things at their place of work or somewhere when they aren't sure that they're surrounded by like-minded individuals, unfortunately.
01:09:27.000I am kind of curious how long we have on YouTube, and I'm glad we put our stuff on other sites, and I'm glad that we have the website.
01:09:34.000I would like to mention as well, I've got just an update from Veritas themselves, that their next installment is discussing New York Times' source as the NSA and the CIA, and that they do confront this individual, so this should be interesting.
01:09:46.000But I think people at Google are evil.
01:09:50.000I think there's a combination of evil and the banality of evil.
01:09:54.000And I do know it comes up a lot, but it is a good reference point, the Joe Rogan Twitter episode that I did, where I think you need only look at when I was talking with Jack and said, what is your reasoning for the misgendering policy?
01:10:08.000And they said, oh, because, you know, certain people have a higher propensity towards suicide.
01:10:12.000And I said, what about people with body dysmorphia or whatever it's called?
01:10:15.000It's called general body dysmorphia or something like that.
01:10:18.000People who want to like cut off their own hands or something.
01:10:20.000And they didn't have an answer to that. Or when I said, if conservatives think your misgendering
01:10:25.000policy is inverted, why do you side with only one half of the country instead of, you know?
01:10:29.000So clearly, they have a worldview completely detached from yours. They're willing to silence
01:10:34.000and do whatever they want because in their worldview, it's what we were talking about
01:10:37.000yesterday. Within the two parent factions of the culture war, there are those who believe
01:10:46.000Whether you're religious or not, there are people who believe there exists something outside of you and other people have equal right to life, liberty, and happiness.
01:10:54.000And then you have the woke cultists who believe that power is derived by force and they can take whatever they want.
01:11:00.000So that's like, you know, overarching narratives here.
01:11:04.000We here are like honest because, well, you should decide for yourself and your life because I respect you and your life and you do what you want.
01:11:10.000The other side believes that power should be seized and you seize power by lying to people and manipulating them.
01:11:15.000Well, as Jack Dorsey said to him, if conservatives are allowed to express their views on Twitter, trans people aren't safe to express theirs.
01:11:23.000So censorship is actually promoting free speech.
01:11:27.000that's not exactly how i put it but that's what he i mean that's what he
01:11:29.000said his whole argument was that transgender people are not in a safe space for they can
01:11:34.000speak freely unless those who would quote-unquote misgender them are unable to
01:11:39.000do so let's talk about not a misrepresentation of his argument
01:11:42.000that's what i mean that's what he was saying
01:11:43.000and uh... and ups are not going to know just to make another point about
01:11:47.000that i think you know it goes back to the fact that republicans controlled
01:11:50.000the presidency and both chambers of commerce or commerce congress for two
01:11:55.000years and didn't do anything about big tech censorship.
01:11:58.000There are laws that can be changed that can prevent these big tech companies from censoring people and Republicans just didn't do it.
01:12:05.000The good news is I think a lot of the GOP politicians are starting to wake up and get it and understand that, hey, we can make reforms to Section 230.
01:12:16.000We can make reforms to these laws that can stop big tech from censoring people.
01:13:06.000Except the price of gas isn't going up right now because of Russia.
01:13:09.000We only just today banned imports of Russian energy.
01:13:13.000So this is Colbert manipulating you, manipulating regular people.
01:13:18.000But I'd like to point out, as I stated a moment ago, why should I care if a bunch of NPCs sitting in the audience go ha ha ha ha ha ha at a guy who's lying Well, there's a thing that comes up that says laugh, like blinks, so they know when.
01:13:33.000Literally in a theater they're doing that.
01:13:35.000And then them laughing and clapping cues the audience to know that they're supposed to laugh and clap.
01:13:40.000It also goes to show just how out of touch, you know, the elite in this country is with regular people.
01:13:45.000You know, Stephen Colbert is worth millions and millions of dollars.
01:13:48.000If the price of gas goes up, it's not going to affect him as much as it is somebody who has to spend like $20, $30 on their gas tank to get to work every day.
01:15:21.000Comedy is supposed to challenge People in make fun of the people in power and it's become these people have essentially just become puppets of the powerful Yeah, I was looking at the SNL lineup.
01:15:57.000They're like, no, gas prices have been rising since the start of the year.
01:16:00.000And I was going to say, too, that if you can't afford to pay for $4 a gallon gas, most of us can't, odds are pretty freaking good that you also can't afford an electric vehicle.
01:16:09.000And this is not the time to shame people for not being able to drive a Tesla.
01:16:12.000But what's sad about that is that is what members of the Biden administration are saying between Biden and Pete Buttigieg.
01:16:18.000They're telling people that if you're worried about the price of gas to buy an electric car, the average electric car costs like $55,000 and the median household income in America is like only $10,000 more.
01:16:30.000And that's what these people are telling us to do.
01:16:32.000That if you can't afford gas, you should buy a car that you can't afford.
01:17:07.000Call the fire department, get everybody in the house, they gotta go through, they gotta inspect everything, and it could be an electrical fire somewhere in the walls.
01:17:14.000So imagine you got a homeless guy, clearly doesn't know how to maintain a house.
01:17:18.000Certainly some homeless people are, but a lot of homeless people are mentally unwell.
01:17:21.000You put them in a house, you're basically shoving the problem under the rug.
01:17:25.000I'm not surprised that the Democrat establishment elites, people like Buttigieg, are saying, if you have an electric car, you don't have to worry about high gas prices.
01:17:33.000Yeah, well, if I was a millionaire, I wouldn't have to worry about it either.
01:17:36.000So case in point, if I was rich, I wouldn't be complaining, but for poor people, they're like, how is this solving my problems?
01:17:43.000Well, here's the thing, rich people complain, they just complain about you instead of their problems, as is the case with Colbert here.
01:17:48.000I think it's, I mean, I agree with you.
01:17:52.000Homelessness is mostly an issue of mental illness or addiction.
01:17:59.000Very often and so yeah, and so that their whole point about well, there are homes for every homeless person That's not exactly demonstrating that they understand the issue here and similarly inflation and high gas prices are caused by the fact that we have printed trillions of dollars and That results in prices going up because you flood the market with excess currency.
01:18:21.000It's very straightforward stuff and that they're gonna sit here and blame Russia for it and And they're going to shame you for not buying an electric car.
01:18:32.000So I was like, we've been procrastinating on some things because we're waiting for the new headquarters to start construction.
01:18:39.000So I'm like, eh, look, we need cameras, we need the new computer and the new live casting equipment stuff.
01:18:45.000I'll buy it when we're ready to, you know, like when we're a week out from the completion of the studio, we'll buy it, it'll get here on time.
01:18:53.000And then I woke up this morning and I saw the news about Shell pulling out of Russia and I was like...
01:18:59.000We're going to put it in boxes and we're going to keep it because it's going to, we're like two or three months away from, from needing it.
01:19:04.000But if I wait, it's going to go up 30% or more.
01:19:07.000You should start buying spare parts for like everything we got.
01:19:11.000Someone was telling us to buy like 10 cheap Honda Civics or something, because then you like, they all have the same parts.
01:19:20.000You can strip one and then fix all the other ones.
01:19:22.000So, yeah, like, if you ever played Fallout 3, and you'll have, like, two, you know, repeaters, and then when one breaks, you can combine them to repair the one.
01:19:30.000You know, I learned that from video games, so... So it's a good idea.
01:20:30.000You know what kind of worries me is if these World Economic Forum people really do want a great reset, why wouldn't they advocate for a full-scale World War III?
01:22:50.000And he was saying, like, there are some interesting problems that happen when you have no control over the market because wild things can occur in the market.
01:22:58.000Bringing some stability isn't necessarily a bad thing.
01:23:00.000The problem, in my opinion, is that the whole thing is exploitative.
01:23:15.000That's manipulating society for political agendas.
01:23:19.000But that's how they use the monetary system to their advantage.
01:23:22.000Or they tax people without ever officially saying that they're taxing them by printing a bunch of money and the value of everybody's savings and their current salary decreases so that we can fund other programs elsewhere, but it was never conceived of by the public as a tax.
01:23:37.000It kind of feels like hostile takeover of the crypto market over and over again when they drive the prices down and then buy it back up.
01:23:43.000Hostile takeovers are illegal now because they used to do it at companies and it was just so blatant.
01:23:47.000But now with crypto, it's not a company.
01:24:58.000Oh, you mean if it's used every day by people, yeah.
01:25:00.000So I was thinking antiseptics, because while it's probably not that hard to ferment certain alcohols to use as antiseptics, we use them frequently.
01:25:09.000I mean, you use mouthwash almost every single day.
01:25:11.000You're not supposed to do it every day, but for a lot of people, you use it a lot.
01:25:13.000You can use alcohol and other alcohols or hydrogen peroxide for cleaning wounds and stuff like that.
01:25:19.000So I'm thinking, what's something that's really hard for an individual themselves to make?
01:25:29.000We were talking on, I think it was the members' only thing, about how horse epinephrine was like 1,500th of the cost of human epinephrine, even though it's identical, same thing.
01:25:39.000But please don't go buy horse medicine.
01:25:42.000Yeah, we talked about that with Thomas Massey, I remember that.
01:25:44.000They love accusing conservatives of promoting horse medicine.
01:25:47.000I've been looking at how someone messaged me.
01:26:13.000I think vitamin C might be like, there might come a point where you're buying stuff with vitamin C. Or, you know, look, if you live in certain areas, where do you get your vitamin C from?
01:27:27.000Because rabbits don't have a lot of fat.
01:27:29.000So you're just getting lean protein and it's not enough.
01:27:32.000You need those fatty acids and stuff like that.
01:27:35.000So a lot of people don't realize this.
01:27:36.000Americans have what I refer to as the shotgun diet.
01:27:39.000Where they eat so much random stuff, they get everything they need, and then some.
01:27:45.000But if you actually start paying attention to your diet, and start tracking how much you're eating and what you're eating, you'll start to realize, like, whoa.
01:27:52.000When you actually control for what you eat, you better pay attention to where you're getting certain vitamins from.
01:27:56.000Like, vegans have this problem with B vitamins.
01:27:58.000Because they eat a lot of just, like, vegetables and sugars.
01:28:03.000And a lot of people get their B vitamins, my understanding is from meat and dirt.
01:28:06.000And they're not getting it, so you gotta take supplements.
01:28:08.000So, I think that's one of the issues where people might experience.
01:28:12.000Look, if gas is at $4 a gallon, record high already.
01:28:50.000Tucker Carlson had a farmer on his show last week who said that because of the price increase of wheat, people could see their grocery bills go up by $1,000 a month.
01:29:05.000During the pandemic, this is almost like a year ago now, there was a restaurant that said they were spending something like 200 bucks more per week in mayonnaise.
01:29:17.000No, no, I'm sorry, Republicans saw the story and then posted something like, buy inflation at work, restaurant spends 200 bucks a week for more mayonnaise.
01:29:24.000So the left saw it and trying to argue with the Republicans, claimed the story was fake.
01:29:30.000Because they were like, consumer prices are up 5%.
01:29:33.000So if they're spending 200 bucks a week and that's 5%, there's no way they're spending that much money on mayonnaise.
01:29:39.000And it was amazing because these news organizations, well, news, I do air quotes, started reporting the story saying, restaurant mocked for lying about mayonnaise costs.
01:29:49.000I called the restaurant and I said, hi, I saw a story where it said that one of your owners, partners, said that you were spending 200 bucks a week more in mayonnaise.
01:29:58.000And you went, oh yeah, yeah, we do 10 of the tubs per week and they've gone up 20 bucks.
01:30:08.000I mean, that's a lot of mayonnaise though.
01:30:09.000And he goes, well, we got a 250 person capacity restaurant.
01:30:12.000So, you know, we typically, we're, we're, we're usually fairly full and, uh, the mayonnaise is used for, for salad dressings, for sandwiches, for dips.
01:30:20.000So, you know, we, we go through quite a bit and I went, Oh, okay.
01:30:24.000It's amazing how, for political reasons, they accuse some restaurant who is just telling the truth of being liars to suit their political agenda.
01:30:32.000That's the danger of these people, to be completely honest.
01:30:34.000I mean, anyone who points out information that's inconvenient to them has to be a bad person.
01:30:38.000They need to assassinate their character.
01:30:40.000I found a couple of common ways to get vitamin C in a pinch.
01:31:55.000And honestly, when they're like, you will live in the pod, I'm like, depending on where the pod is, I would not mind, like, a treehouse, small, little living situation.
01:32:11.000Well, so I remember one time, so when I was at The Caller, we did this video for our subscribers where we had a, because it was like when, you know, it was like going off of the, you will not eat, I will not eat bugs, I will not live in a pod thing.
01:32:24.000We actually ate some crickets and we bought them.
01:33:03.000Because the egg can help it rise, and some rising agent.
01:33:06.000So I would give the cricket bread like a D+.
01:33:09.000Meaning like, you could eat it and probably just, you'd be like, meh.
01:33:14.000You could probably mix it in with like a flour bread and then get a lot of protein out of that, that way.
01:33:19.000Yeah, you can get cricket cookies that I hear are actually pretty good.
01:33:22.000The thing about the bread is that there's not a lot of flavor or sugar in it, so you're just getting the astringent cricket-ness of it.
01:33:28.000But I gotta be honest, like, I tell you this, and this is true of everybody listening as well, if push came to shove, and you were starving, and someone walked over to you with a bunch of roaches, you'd be like, oh, thank you so much, and you would chow down.
01:33:41.000And you'd probably, it would be the most delicious thing you've ever tasted.
01:33:44.000No, for real, like, you know how food tastes better when you're hungry?
01:33:52.000For me, like, the first bite is amazing, the second bite is pretty good, the third bite is okay, and the fourth bite, I'm like, okay, now I'm done.
01:33:59.000Like, it's just very salty and strong, and like, the first bite is like, oh, so good.
01:34:08.000Don't eat for one day, have no access to food, and I will walk up to you with a bag of grubs, and you'll be like, they will taste delicious, you'll love it.
01:34:16.000Yeonmi Park, she escaped North Korea, and man, when she was talking about the starvation that people are experiencing in North Korea, they can't think straight, they can't even question the government because all they do is search for food.
01:34:26.000Like, there's people on the side of the road looking for food, there's people dying on the side of the road from starvation.
01:34:31.000That's pretty horrifying to think about.
01:36:57.000But it probably works for a little bit.
01:36:58.000I'd save it for home defense, to be honest, against, like, animals.
01:37:01.000Stuff like crazy, like raccoons and stuff.
01:37:03.000Probably just use it for clearing brush and going bushwhacking or something.
01:37:05.000I mean, look, I'm no defense expert or prepper expert, but I would definitely recommend that people try to get non-perishables.
01:37:13.000That could last them for quite a while, even if you don't have the money to buy large bulks of it right now.
01:37:19.000We're getting to the point where it could be too late soon, so at least every time you go to the grocery store, maybe buy some extra cans if that's all you can afford.
01:37:28.000People are really blackmailed about the economy and the direction it's going to go in.
01:37:32.000And it very well could get really, really ugly really quickly.
01:37:35.000And that's not something that I want for this country, but I'll say this.
01:37:39.000Your grandparents and great-grandparents who lived through the Great Depression are probably better people than you and they're probably more virtuous because of it.
01:37:46.000So even though we might be facing really hard times, hard times do make strong men.
01:38:39.000I saw, like look at the pictures, it's like $6, then like $6.30, then $7 or whatever.
01:38:44.000So it's like the gap between the grades is getting crazier.
01:38:47.000I wonder sometimes how much the price is going up is purely because of inflation and how much if it's opportunistic by the companies masking it with inflation and just Trying to make more profit.
01:39:00.000I think in this time of inflation it would be very beneficial for them to keep their prices as low as possible.
01:39:05.000I know that there's been arguments from the Biden administration, for example, that they're doing this because of greed but then the question is did they just start getting greedy after you guys printed trillions of dollars?
01:39:47.000If you're in a zombie apocalypse and you find a dead body on the ground, if you didn't put an arrow in its head, it's probably still alive.
01:39:54.000I'm sorry, I just, I get so tired of watching zombie movies, or honestly any movie, where it's like they're fighting a bad guy, and they don't finish the bad guy off, be it a zombie or otherwise.
01:40:03.000It's like, dude, this creature, this undead thing is attacking you, and they'll like, hit it, and it falls down, and then they'll be like, alright everybody, let's uh, oh no, it's biting me now!
01:40:13.000And it's like, well yeah, what'd you think was gonna happen?
01:40:16.000And then they never ever call them zombies in zombie movies.
01:40:39.000To be fair, the human mouth is disgusting.
01:40:42.000There was also, in the movie Zombieland with Jesse Eisenberg, he always had the rule where he always had to double tap every zombie that he killed.
01:40:53.000EZQ says, we got 1.5 trillion omnibus bill consisting of several thousand pages whose text has yet to be released.
01:41:02.000Congress to vote on it by tomorrow night at least.
01:41:05.000Alright, look, I don't know how this stuff works, but Marjorie, can you just, like, slide in a ban- a repeal the, like, abolish the ATF just right in the middle?
01:41:20.000They pass these bills that are, like, gajillion pages long that nobody's read that's written in the dead of night by lobbyists and special interests.
01:41:34.000And also, like, this was a, you know, this was a thing that my friends at American Principles Project were highlighting today, which is that the Democrats are trying to put their new version of the Violence Against Women's Act into this omnibus bill.
01:41:46.000Now, that's a misnomer for the title, because part of the bill is any women's shelter that doesn't allow biological men has their funding taken away.
01:41:55.000Does that sound like preventing violence against women to you?
01:43:12.000We can certainly have our opinions on it, I agree.
01:43:14.000I want to be precise because I want to have the discussion around the biolabs.
01:43:17.000I want to have the discussion around what Russia's motivations are, and then we can investigate them and figure out what exactly was going on, right?
01:43:24.000I do also want to say, I'll add to your point, if you think Ukraine, the only country to get poor after leaving the Soviet Union, is actually beating Russia in a ground war, then you are a fool.
01:43:38.000Maybe it's a little bit harsh, but they keep saying like, oh, Ukraine's winning and they're doing this.
01:43:41.000Yeah, it's because NATO is supporting them.
01:43:44.000They call it the borderland, the Ukraine, Ukraine borderland, because I believe in the past, the empires of the West, the French and the English and the empires of the East, the Russians, the Ottomans would fight in the border land.
01:43:55.000They all agreed, we're going to fight here because it's flat.
01:43:58.000And then if we level the universe, if we level it to the ground, we're going to level Ukraine, the borderlands and not our home territory.
01:44:04.000So it's just like a torn war zone, man.
01:44:06.000And for that, for them to actually be defending that flat land, they're going to need massive amount of help.
01:44:11.000Alright, Beef Nasty says, just make a Zeppelin, Tim.
01:44:58.000I'm glad that CNN is buying ads on my show, and then I can take that money to fund a show where I say that CNN is trash and complete garbage, and you shouldn't watch it.
01:45:16.000I'm pretty sure if you went to CNN and said, you know, you're advertising on Tim Pool's show, they'd be like, maybe we don't want to do that.
01:45:23.000When Bloomberg was advertising on my YouTube channels, it's kind of the channel he wants to advertise on, because I'm ragging on him all the time, and so he needs to be able to say his piece.
01:45:35.000That's an interesting thing about the way ads are run today.
01:45:40.000If we're doing direct sales, because this happens all the time, I get an email from our sales rep and they'll be like, would you want to sponsor from this?
01:45:46.000This is the reason we have very few sponsors.
01:45:48.000Why it's mostly like Biotrust, Virtual Shield, and maybe a couple other companies here and there.
01:45:53.000Because they'll reach out and be like, do you want to read this?
01:46:22.000That's why it's always hilarious to me when people say that Trump weakened our alliance with NATO.
01:46:28.000All he ever wanted them to do was stop outsourcing their energy production to Russia and actually pay the 2% of their GDP to defense that they're supposed to.
01:46:36.000And that's been interpreted as weakening NATO.
01:46:39.000I'm CIA says you owe retraction on Kony 2012.
01:46:42.000Last night's show you claimed Jason Russell gripped himself in public.
01:46:45.000This was an exaggeration by the press.
01:46:47.000See Internet Historian's story of Kony 2012 video.
01:48:09.000But he was over there, and he truly believed in the mission and the government and everything, and realized while he was there how messed up it is in the operation.
01:48:14.000Northwoods came out, and he was like a vocal proponent of false flags and the effery that goes on politically with war.
01:48:53.000They just, it's, it's like obvious, you know, which I've never, I've never liked Apple.
01:48:59.000And I'm just like, my friends are like, I'm going to spend a thousand dollars on a computer with the processing power of another computer that costs $300.
01:51:30.000I think the issue with a flat tax is that the richer you are, the less you need to survive.
01:51:36.000So the issue is, for every dollar you earn over, well at this point with inflation, I mean, I don't know what the median number is going to be.
01:51:43.000But let's say you need $100,000 to have all your basic needs met.
01:51:47.000That means someone who makes less than that isn't having their basic needs met, but they're still being taxed.
01:51:53.000That means you're having your basic needs met, and you're paying taxes.
01:51:57.000For a rich person who's making $200,000, you now have $100,000 on top of your salary, after taxes, however much, $60,000 or $70,000, to do with whatever you want.
01:52:08.000Like buy extra hard assets very easily.
01:52:10.000Hedge your bets and start generating wealth very very easily.
01:52:14.000This makes it extremely easy for people who exponentially increase their wealth to increase their wealth further and gain more and more power in the system.
01:52:21.000The arguments I've heard from the libertarian right is that it's a good thing if people learn how to use the system to gain power because they have the merit to learn how to control the system.
01:52:29.000My argument is I don't like individuals having disproportionate amounts of power just based on the fact they have money in the first place because some of these people didn't earn the money they inherited it and then they never have to worry about earning anything and you end up with legacies running governments or running corporations and that's not a good thing.
01:52:45.000How you solve for it I don't exactly know but I think that at the very least progressive taxes look I'll put it this way I have money and I pay a I've been insane amount of taxes, and it's like man people only knew like how crazy taxes get at the highest brackets It is insane well over 50% They want to talk about American text early 35 now They have no idea what they're talking about Because when you're running a company you're doing these things you get taxed every step of the way when you're buying the equipment you need when you're when you're when you're paying employee salaries when you're paying yourself the taxes are massive and
01:53:16.000Someone will buy an ad for this company, for a sponsor spot, will read it, and of the money we get, more than half goes to taxes in some way.
01:53:28.000Yeah, we live in the best country on Earth with massive, awesome stuff all around us.
01:53:33.000I want to make a point here, regardless of how you feel about having a flat tax or a progressive tax, you mentioned inflation and income brackets, and this is going to be something that you have to look out for in the future here.
01:53:44.000Back in the 80s, after the inflation of the 70s, Reagan came along and he adjusted the tax code because we had a progressive tax code.
01:53:54.000And so there were people who, prior to the 70s, were making significantly higher amounts of money than they would need to survive, so they were taxed at a higher rate.
01:54:01.000But after the 70s, because inflation had gotten so bad, people who were in that income bracket were not necessarily wealthy anymore.
01:54:08.000So he adjusted those brackets and he was accused of slashing taxes for doing that. Now he did cut taxes in
01:54:14.000other ways, but it was argued that that was this horrible regressive thing to do. So I want people
01:54:19.000to watch out for this. As inflation gets worse and as it becomes more expensive to survive,
01:54:26.000people are going to be pushed into higher income brackets that have a higher taxation level when they're
01:54:33.000really just breaking even or making So the taxation level should go up.
01:54:37.000And when a conservative comes along to try to adjust that, they're going to accuse him of slashing taxes and they're going to say, in this environment where so many people are going hungry, how could you even think about cutting taxes on the rich?
01:54:54.000But I think the higher brackets need a higher percentage and we have to stretch and adjust which means like what kind of what you're saying for a certain income level maybe around like the two hundred thousands we lower the taxes and then for over half a million to a million you slightly increase and then for like you know a million to five million it goes up and then for like five million to fifteen it goes up the issue is that I think the tax bracket stops at what like 250 250 million?
01:55:57.000I was looking into what the brackets are, and we have an article on the IRS website or a page saying that they're providing tax inflation adjustments for 2022, which is sort of a start, but I'm very curious to see how they're adjusting it, considering based on the way that our government actually measures inflation, they don't really give you the full picture.
01:56:16.000What do you guys think about the whole taxation is theft?
01:56:19.000No, no, I guess my point is we are still going to need adjustments to the tax code because of inflation.
01:56:25.000My issue is, as much as I can be like, I understand the idea of a progressive tax to kind of curtail the power of private individuals who accumulate too much.
01:56:34.000We don't want to stop them from ever being able to work, but we do want to make sure that, you know, we're constraining inequality.
01:56:40.000When inequality gets, one of the precursors to societal collapse is inequality.
01:56:45.000I know a lot of people maybe don't like the idea, but it's true.
01:56:49.000When the wealthy have too much power, disproportionate power, and are saying things like, just buy an electric car, yo, you get people losing their minds.
01:56:58.000People right now, I'm telling you man, you got people who are like, I can't buy gas.
01:57:02.000And Colbert being like, I drive a Tesla, I don't care.
01:57:04.000Yeah, people are gonna be like, okay, that's it.
01:57:08.000These powerful elites are screwing us over.
01:57:10.000Biden is halting gas leases for climate change issues.
01:57:14.000And then someone's going to start screaming.
01:57:16.000So you need to have some way to like constrain these issues.
01:57:20.000The problem is giving the money to the government doesn't solve the problem.
01:57:23.000Being like, we want to make sure that ultra rich people aren't saying, let them eat cake.
01:57:27.000But the problem is giving money to the government just recycles the money among the elites because elites, it doesn't matter if you're in corporation or government, they're all big.
01:57:33.000They're all, they're, they're all birds of a feather flocking together up top.
01:57:36.000I used to be extremely libertarian, and at this point I don't necessarily have the same argument from principle about certain forms of taxation, but ultimately I still don't trust anyone in government to spend the money better than a wealthy person would if you just left them alone with it.
01:57:49.000How do you justify owing the Federal Reserve more money than we have?
01:57:58.000Let's read some more Super Chats here.
01:58:00.000Murph says, I heard a retiring general contractor say once, don't be surprised that if one day plumbers and carpenters start making more than heart surgeons, skilled master laborers will be in high demand.
01:58:34.000You walk outside, it's like a red, like just red everywhere, and you can walk up and just take them and eat them.
01:58:38.000I saw a guy pull over on the side of the highway, get out of his car, hop over, and just grab a bunch and get back in his car and start eating them.
01:59:24.000Let me just let everybody in on an industry secret.
01:59:27.000The coverage that we did of the People's Convoy from when we started to when it finished, I think it's still technically ongoing, cost us a lot, thousands, and has made us nothing.
01:59:40.000We don't, we don't, we don't generate money off of like ad revenue from it.
01:59:44.000And technically we could argue because we're mostly a membership website, it's just a component of what makes the site valuable for you as a member.
01:59:53.000So that's why I just say, look, we, we take money and we spend it on doing good reporting and getting good reporters out there to talk to people and be honest about what's happening.
02:00:56.000If I was going to make like a tea desperate situation, I'd get some tree bark, some grass, vinegar, and salt, and it would be like a broth.
02:02:28.000The rich only trade among themselves, and the poor people are shut out from ownership, from the ownership economy.
02:02:34.000I think that's really, really bad, and it results in extreme tyranny.
02:02:37.000I don't think taxes necessarily solve the problem, because then you're just giving money to government, and government just screws around and does stupid things like indoctrinate kids in schools.
02:02:46.000So, I don't have all the answers, my friends.
02:02:49.000And that's, and BlackRock's like doing- Exactly.
02:02:51.000BlackRock's doing a lot of that, where they're buying up all this, you know, Middle-class housing and jacking up the rents for everybody basically pricing middle-class homebuyers out of the market I say we do this JD says fried dandelion flowers are delicious tastes like fried mushrooms.
02:03:06.000You do it when fresh and yellow Well, all right, we're gonna do it.
02:03:10.000Let's look up a fried dandelion recipe See if we can, we can do, you know, Ian's survival course on the Cast Castle vlog or something.
