00:00:00.000 Peace out yo!
00:00:19.000 That's it.
00:00:20.000 Okay.
00:00:21.000 We were all excited.
00:00:23.000 You know, we're sitting here with Steve Bannon and he's like, look, you know, the Intel report's coming out.
00:00:26.000 We'll see what they say.
00:00:27.000 And I'm like, oh man.
00:00:28.000 And, you know, we had a bunch of other people and they're all excited.
00:00:30.000 And they're like, it may, COVID may have leaked from the Wuhan lab.
00:00:34.000 Maybe, we don't know.
00:00:35.000 We're divided.
00:00:37.000 Nothing definitive, but there is a lot of news still in Afghanistan, and I gotta be honest, guys, you know, I do think the Afghanistan stuff is probably the most important, but at a certain point, it's like, we have talked about it so much, I have talked about it so much, that I want- well, we're gonna talk about it, obviously, but I wanted to lead in with something else, just because the Afghanistan stuff is some of the most depressing and dark stuff, and then it reminds you, and here I go reminding you, that there's- the Emperor has no clothes.
00:01:03.000 So it's creepy stuff.
00:01:04.000 Also, interestingly, in the news, this may come as a surprise to many of you, but Milo Yiannopoulos has been censored.
00:01:11.000 Yeah, again, on YouTube.
00:01:13.000 Apparently, he got banned off YouTube, you know, where he was still allowed.
00:01:17.000 And, you know, a lot of people, I guess, haven't heard from him in a long time because of the censorship, but censorship is still happening.
00:01:25.000 So we'll definitely talk about that.
00:01:26.000 And we're being joined by one of the experts on censorship, Dan Gaynor.
00:01:31.000 I'm Vice President for Free Speech America at the Media Research Center, and we spend all our time trying to stop what's become an absolute madness on the Internet, taking away all of our freedom to speak, to say anything.
00:01:31.000 Thanks.
00:01:44.000 It was awful before, and then COVID just went insane because they feel you've now got the President of the United States and the Surgeon General who are trying to force the social media companies to restrict speech.
00:01:58.000 It's utter insanity.
00:02:00.000 Gets me busy.
00:02:01.000 There's a story right now from ScienceMag.
00:02:04.000 NewsGuard certified, ScienceMag, a legitimate publication, talking about, I think it's infection rates, or no, I'm sorry, it's talking about likelihood of You don't want to be too specific because you know what's going to happen to you.
00:02:19.000 Well, no, no, no.
00:02:20.000 It's about like likelihood of catching COVID based on infection versus vaccine or something like that.
00:02:26.000 Yeah, it's talking about the immune response you'll have based on getting it versus getting the vaccine.
00:02:31.000 Twitter has censored it.
00:02:32.000 It's a legitimate study published by a legitimate magazine, science mag, NewsGuard certified.
00:02:32.000 Right.
00:02:37.000 Can't talk about it.
00:02:39.000 And we know this has been going on because Twitter shut down the Hunter Biden stories.
00:02:43.000 There was collusion between Big Tech and the Democratic Party to shut down negative stories about Biden.
00:02:48.000 And then we saw that Rasmussen poll that said if people were aware of what Joe and his son had done, Joe meaning like flying his son to China on Air Force Two and meeting with his business partners, people wouldn't have voted for him.
00:02:59.000 That's the problem of censorship.
00:03:01.000 I've been online since before the World Wide Web.
00:03:06.000 And which means A, I'm old and B, I've got this nice perspective when it was when it was pleasant.
00:03:11.000 You when you had like people talking online about the Guild, you know, and Felicia Day and everything was nice.
00:03:18.000 And then, you know, things started crazy in 2014.
00:03:21.000 And then it got worse and worse in 15, 16 with the election.
00:03:25.000 And after Trump won, largely on the basis of social media, because he had a he was a social media powerhouse.
00:03:33.000 The social media companies in the left, and particularly in the traditional press, who are the biggest advocates for censorship, they went completely insane.
00:03:41.000 It just determined, okay, you guys won with it, we're going to take it all.
00:03:45.000 Even though we call ourselves Free Speech America, that was when we launched that sort of our mindset.
00:03:51.000 Now it's not about free speech anymore, because It was before even COVID, but now because of COVID, everything, you spend all of your lives online.
00:04:01.000 You go to school, your kids do, or you do.
00:04:04.000 You work, you sell, you buy, you go to see the doctor, you interact with your government, you do everything, including banking.
00:04:13.000 And if they censor us online in those, then it's not an issue of free speech.
00:04:19.000 It's simply, are you a first class or a third class citizen at this point?
00:04:22.000 Yeah.
00:04:22.000 Simply civil rights.
00:04:23.000 Exactly.
00:04:24.000 We'll get into all that stuff.
00:04:25.000 We'll check out the website, too.
00:04:26.000 Yeah, as you're talking about this, I'm thinking of the frogs in the pot and how we're slowly, this is like, oh, it's just a little bit of censorship here, a little bit there.
00:04:26.000 We got Ian.
00:04:32.000 Then all of a sudden, you said the naughty word on the phone.
00:04:35.000 They're taking your phone number away.
00:04:36.000 You're not allowed to get a phone now.
00:04:38.000 You're not allowed to have a social media account now.
00:04:39.000 You're not allowed to have a bank.
00:04:40.000 Like, it's completely dehumanizing.
00:04:43.000 Absolutely a violation of human rights.
00:04:44.000 I'm glad you're here.
00:04:45.000 Thank you.
00:04:46.000 Thank you.
00:04:46.000 Yeah, I'm excited too, as I already pitched in, because as soon as I saw this thing on Twitter, I called my magic special source who has two different master's degrees, including one in biomedical sciences, and I was like, bro, bro, is getting a disease better or worse than getting the shot?
00:05:01.000 Because with chickenpox, if you don't want to get shingles, you should get the shot.
00:05:04.000 You shouldn't just get chickenpox.
00:05:05.000 And he was like, it depends on the virus, depends on all this stuff, but there's no reason for Twitter to be censoring this.
00:05:10.000 So I'm really excited to be talking about this.

00:05:32.000 It's Friday night.
00:05:33.000 We chill a little bit on Friday nights.
00:05:34.000 We got this news!
00:05:36.000 It's not really news.
00:05:37.000 It's nothing.
00:05:38.000 From the New York Post.
00:05:41.000 An unclassified summary of the U.S.
00:05:47.000 intelligence community's report on COVID-19 says it's plausible the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, and that it might be genetically engineered.
00:05:54.000 The investigators remain divided.
00:05:56.000 I suppose at the very least, this, you know, now when the media says it's a conspiracy theory, that it's a genetically modified lab leak or something, you can be like, well, they said maybe.
00:06:05.000 I'll take maybe, right?
00:06:06.000 Well, I mean, maybe means you can at least discuss it for a year.
00:06:10.000 It was, you know, oh, you went to the woodshed.
00:06:14.000 They took you to the woodshed, beat you up a little bit, maybe suspended you, maybe banned you for talking about something.
00:06:19.000 They went after members of Congress.
00:06:22.000 That's how extreme.
00:06:24.000 We mentioned this a little bit.
00:06:25.000 Dave Rubin got suspended like a week before they announced booster shots for saying booster shots were coming.
00:06:31.000 So Dave's tweeting like, they're going to have booster shots.
00:06:34.000 Twitter suspends him.
00:06:35.000 And then like a week later, the New York Times is like, booster shots have been announced.
00:06:38.000 I think with Dave, it looked like he had a lot of evidence showing that it probably would happen.
00:06:43.000 And I don't know exactly what happened, but I imagine he said it is going to happen.
00:06:46.000 And that's like crossing a line.
00:06:48.000 Saying that it's evident and that it looks like it is very likely is very different than saying it is.
00:06:52.000 But journalists have been doing this for basically the history of journalism, saying, hey, we've got sources saying that this is going to happen.
00:06:59.000 I was talking about this downstairs.
00:07:01.000 You're not allowed to criticize the World Health Organization or the CDC, basically, by these social media companies.
00:07:06.000 But then New York Times can run a story.
00:07:09.000 They did a story at the end of 2019, right at the end of the year, about the World Health Organization.
00:07:15.000 They said one of the one of the givens of the World Health Organization is that they want you to keep open borders in the middle of a pandemic, which I think ordinary people would go, well, that's nuts.
00:07:26.000 But they said, oh, it's this way.
00:07:28.000 But then they dug into it.
00:07:29.000 It turns out there's absolutely no scientific reason for it.
00:07:33.000 It's simply their agenda to keep the borders open.
00:07:36.000 You know, why we do this?
00:07:38.000 Well, because we're supposed to listen to the science-y people at the World Health Organization.
00:07:42.000 Well, now the funny thing is, you know, and we'll give YouTube its piece in all of the horse dewormer stories.
00:07:52.000 You know, it's the craziest thing seeing every single outlet refer to ivermectin as horse medicine, because it's like, don't they give ibuprofen to dogs?
00:08:00.000 You know what I mean?
00:08:00.000 Like, don't they?
00:08:01.000 So the issue is, and for you, YouTube, that ivermectin isn't FDA approved.
00:08:06.000 There are some studies going on right now, but it is not FDA approved for treatment in COVID, but it's also not horse medicine.
00:08:11.000 I mean, it technically is, but it is FDA approved for certain uses like topical scabies.
00:08:17.000 And I think, you know, general dewormer stuff.
00:08:20.000 The crazy thing is how the media is walking in lockstep.
00:08:24.000 They're all saying horse medicine.
00:08:26.000 It's in a version of horse medicine, but it's also in other things.
00:08:26.000 It's not horse medicine.
00:08:30.000 It's just medicine.
00:08:31.000 We give antibiotics to horses, too.
00:08:33.000 Yeah, it doesn't make them horse antibiotics, right.
00:08:35.000 Right, right, right, right.
00:08:36.000 But how the media is treating it this way, how we have to even be careful bringing it up because... Nobody who dares... Oh, wait, you said the wrong thing.
00:08:44.000 I interviewed Dr. Zev Zelenko.
00:08:47.000 And he got documents restricted by Google Docs.
00:08:53.000 Now if that is not 1984-ish, oh you've got stuff, you can't share them to other human beings even though you wrote them and they involve documents that you sent to world leaders, but you can't share them to other human beings because they're locked out.
00:09:11.000 I mean that that is there was a I think bit shoot was banned like Twitter had banned links to bit shoot or I think they still do it like gives you a warning and there was one thing I tweeted about I can't remember what it was but it was like if you tried to tweet it it would give you an error and so they're like oops sites broken that's all it is and then you're like this one link remember when Facebook banned mines Hmm.
00:09:33.000 Yeah.
00:09:33.000 Yes.
00:09:33.000 Yeah.
00:09:34.000 You couldn't send a message, a Facebook message with minds.com in the message or it would be like, yep.
00:09:38.000 I can, I can top that.
00:09:40.000 There are people who are banned on Facebook, not that they're not allowed to be on Facebook.
00:09:46.000 You cannot send their websites by messenger on Facebook.
00:09:51.000 They, they literally will not be able to send.
00:09:53.000 We ran across, it was a dentist in front of, I was trying to go to, uh, out in Arizona.
00:09:58.000 And she was trying to send me the link to the dentist, but he does some holistic health and couldn't do it.
00:10:08.000 We ran a hunting group in Dallas.
00:10:11.000 Their website was banned on Facebook, even though it didn't violate any Facebook rules.
00:10:17.000 The Facebook, you know, authoritarians who don't like hunting So, you know, looping back to the report, which tells us literally nothing, you know, the COVID origins report, you're basically saying that at least this allows us to talk about it now, right?
00:10:33.000 Because before it was like, if you brought this stuff up, you're a conspiracy theorist, you risk it to restrict anything they don't like.
00:10:38.000 Then the people who enforce them are people who restrict anything they don't like.
00:10:43.000 And then the people you appeal to are the people restrict anything you don't like.
00:10:46.000 It's kind of set up.
00:10:48.000 And of course, you get the fact checkers who are just evil and moronic.
00:10:51.000 And they will also restrict anything they don't want.
00:10:53.000 Well, you know, the thing about fact checking is all of these organizations that do fact
00:10:53.000 Here's why.
00:10:57.000 checking that go to the Poynter Institute, so that on Facebook they can remove you.
00:11:00.000 Why don't conservatives set up fact checking organizations?
00:11:02.000 Here's why.
00:11:03.000 Because the fact, because I've had people ask us to do it.
00:11:07.000 Because the fact checking network can also remove you.
00:11:10.000 So you could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars hiring people, setting up the operation.
00:11:16.000 It's very tedious.
00:11:17.000 If you start fact-checking CNN, CNN is going to call the pointer and they're going to pull your authority and then you're off.
00:11:22.000 And that's it.
00:11:23.000 You're done.
00:11:24.000 Because they control the whole game.
00:11:27.000 And what happened was a whole bunch of journalists got laid off back after 2008.
00:11:32.000 So they came up and the journalists hate the fact that people use what are called, you know, alternative facts.
00:11:39.000 And so they basically came up with a way to game the system.
00:11:42.000 They now control the facts, even though most of the time what they're doing is just narrative.
00:11:48.000 They don't care.
00:11:49.000 Oh, well, we think your narrative is wrong.
00:11:51.000 You need to include 60 more paragraphs.
00:11:54.000 Yeah, I got fact-checked by Lead Stories.
00:11:57.000 Actually, it was... Okay, so here's what happened.
00:12:00.000 I tweeted out something about Epstein like that, and I don't remember the exact tweet, but everything I said was factual.
00:12:06.000 Someone screen-grabbed it and posted it to Facebook, and then Lead Stories said it was fake.
00:12:11.000 This tweet is false information.
00:12:13.000 And so I looked up, I saw the tag on my tweet, screenshot it, I didn't post it, and then it said false information, here's why, and I clicked it, went to their story, which confirmed every single thing in my tweet was correct.
00:12:25.000 When I called the guy from the company, he was irate and yelling.
00:12:29.000 And he was like, I refuse to change it.
00:12:32.000 And his argument was basically that the way it was phrased in the tweet could give the wrong impression.
00:12:38.000 And I said, the impression is irrelevant when my facts are all correct.
00:12:41.000 What someone assumes based on reading the tweet is irrelevant.
00:12:44.000 I didn't say what you're accusing me of saying something like Bill Clinton went to Epstein Island or something, which I didn't say.
00:12:48.000 I can't remember exactly what the tweet was.
00:12:51.000 And then instead of instead of taking down the fake fact check, he left it up, but put, you know, like partially incorrect or something like that.
00:12:58.000 So they can take a fact and then call it fake news and false information and then explain on their end that, well, it is technically true, but we just want to provide clarification.
00:13:10.000 So now when you get hit on Facebook and Facebook strips you of monetization, that's the end result.
00:13:15.000 Well, and what they do is their favorite is the context.
00:13:19.000 You know, oh, you don't have enough context.
00:13:21.000 Well, by that definition, the entire freaking world doesn't have enough context.
00:13:25.000 Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't have enough context because, oh, you didn't include this book full of information about Afghanistan or those 27 books about, you know, pick your topic calculus.
00:13:37.000 Oh, well, there's not enough information calculus in there.
00:13:39.000 So you need to add more context.
00:13:41.000 We got hit by PolitiFact for rerunning a CDC chart.
00:13:47.000 Okay, so not doing anything controversial here.
00:13:50.000 We re-ran a CDC chart linked to a story about it, and that story linked back to the CDC.
00:13:56.000 PolitiFact gave us a fact check, gave us sort of like the trifecta of fact checks.
00:14:00.000 They said, okay, well, we lacked context, but then they called it partly false, but then they put a big, you know, huge red capital letters, FALSE, On our chart.
00:14:10.000 And so we challenged it.
00:14:11.000 They, of course, ignored it.
00:14:13.000 So what we did, we got more than 40 conservative organizations together and sent an obnoxious letter to the International Fact Checking Network and said, you've got to pull their card.
00:14:24.000 They are not fair.
00:14:25.000 The Media Research Center has tracked more than 50 examples since 2019 where they've been out of control.
00:14:31.000 Yeah.
00:14:32.000 And we didn't really think they would do it.
00:14:34.000 But so now that's got to be the narrative.
00:14:36.000 Every time PolitiFact does another lousy fact check, people go, you know, more than 40 organizations said this organization should lose its fact checking ability.
00:14:46.000 Do you see when they, I can't remember which organization it was, they flagged the CDC itself as false news?
00:14:50.000 Yeah.
00:14:51.000 Yeah, so on Facebook, a link to the CDC.
00:14:54.000 It was an article from the CDC where they said that they were encouraging new testing for COVID.
00:15:01.000 And so these Facebook fact-checkers flagged CDC.gov as fake news.
00:15:06.000 And you know, the funny thing is, when I, so there's people you can reach out to at Facebook if you're one of the better men and the privileged elites, like we all are here.
00:15:15.000 I'm kidding, in a sense.
00:15:17.000 But the reality is, in this world, if you have a show and you have followers, then all of a sudden there's someone to talk to at Facebook.
00:15:23.000 But the regular people, they're kicked to the gutter.
00:15:26.000 So I know, I have the contact emails, I have the connections, and they said, when you get fact-checked on Facebook, it's not us, it's those third-party companies.
00:15:35.000 And I argued Facebook has given special privileged access, that is not public accommodation, to these people.
00:15:44.000 So you're effectively outsourcing Facebook's role in fact-checking to third parties.
00:15:49.000 I would argue that is still Facebook's responsibility for defamation.
00:15:53.000 If there is going to be a box that says fake information over my post, and that is not true, as a statement of fact, saying what I put was false information, Then I think Facebook and that company are responsible.
00:16:07.000 Facebook said, screw you.
00:16:08.000 It's them.
00:16:09.000 Do something about it.
00:16:10.000 So you effectively have to just go after these fact checkers and sue them for defamation.
00:16:15.000 And the reality is, if they called a CDC chart fake, false information, that's not an opinion.
00:16:20.000 That's a statement of fact.
00:16:21.000 You got to sue for defamation.
00:16:21.000 You got to sue.
00:16:23.000 And of course, you know, these organizations, who pays them?
00:16:27.000 Facebook.
00:16:28.000 Yeah, they get money from Facebook.
00:16:30.000 That's one of the... Well, then it's clear cut.
00:16:32.000 Go for Facebook.
00:16:33.000 Yeah, I was going to say, you mentioned Lead Stories.
00:16:35.000 So we did a big piece on Lead Stories, I guess, probably 2019.
00:16:40.000 My whole sense of timing is screwed up because of COVID.
00:16:43.000 It's like half.
00:16:44.000 But we did it and we slammed them.
00:16:46.000 They denied everything we did.
00:16:47.000 You know, we said about right after they launched their red and blue feed to show that they were fact-checking both sides.
00:16:54.000 But here's the game that these, that it's not just them, but that Facebook and all the companies play.
00:17:00.000 When they fact-check somebody on the right, it's, you know, it goes, gets scattered all over Facebook and attached to everything that anybody posts about that.
00:17:09.000 But if they do it for somebody left, it doesn't do that.
00:17:12.000 So if they fact check some micro-organization, Occupy Democrats saying something stupid because they're idiots, if they fact check them, well then they won't say, oh by the way, they were actually citing something CNN did.
00:17:27.000 They're not going to then attach that fact check to CNN.
00:17:29.000 It just drops there.
00:17:31.000 And so that's the way, so what they've set it up is it deliberately hurts conservative organizations
00:17:38.000 and anybody who disagrees with the status quo, which I'm pretty sure is the people in this room.
00:17:43.000 Yep.
00:17:44.000 I would say so.
00:17:45.000 It's a broken system.
00:17:48.000 I don't know what else to say.
00:17:49.000 We've been dealing with it for a long time, and I guess the challenge is it just shows how dark things are continually getting, that we even move beyond this knowing it's happening and nothing's changed.
00:17:59.000 We're now at a period where we can't have discussions about the science.
00:18:05.000 They tell us, trust the science, and I'm like, okay, well, a bunch of scientists just came out.
00:18:08.000 Not those scientists.
00:18:10.000 I'm like, well, who am I supposed to trust then?
00:18:12.000 Why, Dr. Fauci!
00:18:13.000 But Fauci's been wrong every other day.
00:18:15.000 Yeah, well, trust him.
00:18:17.000 But what about those doctors over there?
00:18:18.000 Nope.
00:18:19.000 All right, I guess.
00:18:20.000 What about when Fauci outright, you know, got called out for, oh, moving the goalposts, which we, which in civilized society we call lying through his teeth.
00:18:28.000 But when, when he did that, or when he lied about masking.
00:18:32.000 What about when Sanjay Gupta, this is actually one of my favorite little elements from COVID, when early March 2019, when Sanjay or 2020, I mean, when Sanjay Gupta had a town hall at CNN where they had about 60 some people packed, you know, shoulder to shoulder in the audience, not wearing masks, when Gupta comes out and says on air that masking is dangerous.
00:18:58.000 Gupta said that?
00:18:59.000 Yeah.
00:19:00.000 Then, oh, suddenly they decide that later on masking is good.
00:19:04.000 Now, I'm okay with them doing that if they keep saying, by the way, you know, I said this dumb thing before and keep putting it out there.
00:19:13.000 But what happens is all this stuff gets memory hold.
00:19:15.000 Every time Fauci does something or Gupta does something or any of these people, they say something that's wrong or, you know, later on proven wrong.
00:19:25.000 There's no accountability for them.
00:19:27.000 There's only accountability for us.
00:19:28.000 Let's talk about how dark things are actually getting.
00:19:31.000 So let's step into this one from CNBC.
00:19:34.000 Congressional panel investigating January 6th insurrection demands records from Facebook, Twitter, and other tech firms.
00:19:40.000 So here we go.
00:19:42.000 You may have heard that the January 6th committee submitted a letter to all these different government agencies demanding information on basically everybody in the Trump government, as well as a large number of activists who are just I mean, Scott Pressler is the most pressing example.
00:19:56.000 He's a guy who registers Republicans to vote and he cleans up garbage.
00:19:59.000 And they said they wanted every communication from the government to him going back to April 1st of 2020 into January 20th of 2021.
00:20:08.000 This guy has nothing to do with any of it.
00:20:10.000 And my understanding, he wasn't even in D.C.
00:20:12.000 on January 6th.
00:20:14.000 But this is their overreach, and now it's coming to the big tech firms, which is what we expected.
00:20:18.000 When we had Jack Posobiec here, who was on this list, you know, the general idea we were talking about is, they'll eventually take it from the government to social media companies.
00:20:27.000 Now, all of these big tech firms, who we know are biased, are going to start going after Trump supporters and activists.
00:20:34.000 I'm willing to bet, if you're like some mid-level Trump supporter, your communications, your DMs will probably get leaked.
00:20:39.000 Because they're going to demand it.
00:20:41.000 And why would Facebook or Google say no?
00:20:43.000 They're going to be like, well, you know, it's very important we help out.
00:20:46.000 Here you go.
00:20:47.000 Well, look at how the government tax forms for all these rich people got leaked all of a sudden.
00:20:53.000 Biden is talking about going after rich people with his tax efforts.
00:20:57.000 Oh, and also talking about throwing tons of money at the IRS.
00:21:01.000 Magically, ProPublica gets a dump of the tax records for a lot of famous rich people and then starts writing about it.
00:21:10.000 Let me read a little bit from here.
00:21:13.000 Remember, we weren't supposed to talk about the deep state.
00:21:15.000 Oh, deep state doesn't exist until a guy from New York Times writes a book and says a deep
00:21:19.000 state deep state exists.
00:21:21.000 And it's a good thing.
00:21:22.000 Yeah, it's a good thing because it's on our side.
00:21:24.000 You know, let's let me read a little bit from here.
00:21:26.000 We got this from CNBC.
00:21:27.000 They say the House Select Committee investigating January 6 said Friday, it's demanding a trove
00:21:32.000 of records from 15 social media companies, including Facebook, Twitter, Google and a
00:21:36.000 slew of pro Trump platforms.
00:21:38.000 The requests for records stretching back to the spring of 2020 are related to the spread of misinformation, efforts to overturn the 2020 election or prevent the certification of the results, domestic violent extremism, and foreign influence in the 2020 election, the committee said in a press release.
00:21:53.000 They're also looking into policy changes that the social media companies adopted or failed to adopt regarding the spread of violent extremism, misinformation, and foreign malign influence that includes decisions on banning material from platforms and contacts with law enforcement and other government entities, the press release said.
00:22:08.000 The committee's latest requests further underscore the role of social media on the Capitol attack, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:22:14.000 They blamed Parler, but it was actually Facebook where people were getting together and scheduling and planning for January 6th.
00:22:22.000 So, the coordination and collusion, I think, is obvious.
00:22:26.000 And now, what's the chances that these companies just turn over all this data, and everyone who is anti-establishment all of a sudden has the worst possible things they've ever said taken out of context, plastered all over the internet, every story possible, and then what happens next after that is the financial institutions start saying, oh, whoa, oh, jeez, these stories, yep, gotta ban them.
00:22:46.000 Well, financial institutions already are doing some of that.
00:22:48.000 They did it to, I was going to say, one of the, one of the Republican Senate candidates in Delaware.
00:22:54.000 Oh, okay.
00:22:54.000 We can't, we're not going to allow you.
00:22:55.000 We're going to, we're going to shut down your bank account.
00:22:58.000 We're going to, you know, you got PayPal doing the same thing, all these companies.
00:23:01.000 But yes, that is, that's an enormous, insane, Stasi-like, you know, overreach of government into basically the lives of absolutely everybody.
00:23:13.000 Yeah, this is.
00:23:14.000 And you're right, it's not just, but it's not just the, they could, they could leak, oh, you, you know, you're having an affair on your wife, somebody's, you know, oh, you just, you send a dirty joke, you, anything they want, they can use against you with that.
00:23:28.000 And unfortunately, we all, and I've certainly fallen this category, we've all spent years posting absolutely everything on social media.
00:23:37.000 And beyond that, they also know who your friends are.
00:23:40.000 So even if you've not done anything wrong, they can go after your family members.
00:23:46.000 Oh, hey, you know, you're, you're, you know, you're 50 years old, you got kids who are in their 20s.
00:23:51.000 Oh, you've never done, you've never even gone speeding.
00:23:55.000 But your kids, oh, well, they've done something wrong.
00:23:57.000 So, hey, we're going after the kids now.
00:24:01.000 That's just the most broad insanity thing I've ever heard government do.
00:24:06.000 It's very clear the path that we're on, where we're going.
00:24:09.000 And at a certain point, I'm kind of just like, I don't know, what do we do?
00:24:12.000 Do we just, you know, kick back, put your feet up and wait for the tsunami to crash over?
00:24:16.000 In public.
00:24:17.000 But you got to be super subtle about how you change the system quietly.
00:24:20.000 Like how?
00:24:21.000 Like by building technology that.
00:24:23.000 Yeah.
00:24:23.000 Makes it.
00:24:24.000 Yeah.
00:24:24.000 Building culture.
00:24:25.000 Yeah.
00:24:25.000 Like Fediverse projects, things where things that can't be censored or that aren't censored by nature, things that are decentralized, stuff like that.
00:24:33.000 You know, the cryptography and cryptocurrency.
00:24:35.000 That's why they hate they hate crypto so much.
00:24:37.000 They freak out about it because that really does put a Well, they can't monitor where your money goes.
00:24:46.000 Depending on which one you use, if you use like Monero or Zcash, but Bitcoin is fully public, and they can easily track all of it.
00:24:53.000 But I mean, this follows Chokepoint.
00:24:56.000 Yeah, when Chokepoint went after the gun companies and other stuff and went after drugs, you can't carry more than $10,000 of cash on you because, oh, you might be making a drug deal.
00:25:10.000 Then when they found out people were carrying nine, they cut it back to eight.
00:25:15.000 Because they don't want you to, you know, it's like, we don't want you carrying cash because you might actually buy something we don't approve of.
00:25:21.000 And so now if we catch you with $8,001 in your car, we can take it all.
00:25:27.000 Yep.
00:25:28.000 Civil asset forfeiture.
00:25:29.000 They just steal your money and you don't get it back.
00:25:31.000 Amazing.
00:25:32.000 Yeah.
00:25:33.000 I wonder how that would play out.
00:25:34.000 If you're like running like a burger shop and you have like your day, daily cash from the right, from the tills, you're going to the bank with it.
00:25:39.000 And they're like, that's a bank.
00:25:40.000 They stop you outside the bank and they're like, you're going to go buy drugs.
00:25:44.000 They're like, no.
00:25:45.000 And the only, and I guess when you're a frog in a pot and the pot starts slowly coming to a boil, people just don't know and don't care.
00:25:52.000 But I, people need to stop and just think about a few things.
00:25:55.000 What is it?
00:25:56.000 Is it shocking if I told you that you have a, a, a, a serial number registered with the government for your person?
00:26:03.000 Nothing, nothing.
00:26:03.000 Not for me.
00:26:05.000 I mean, my, my level of shock is kind of gone up a lot.
00:26:08.000 You know, like what it takes to shock.
00:26:10.000 I think if I went home and I found police cars surrounded by, I only think that reaches shock.
00:26:15.000 Isn't it a crazy idea when you realize that like every single person in the U.S.
00:26:19.000 is serialized with a specific number that identifies you?
00:26:23.000 Every citizen, yeah.
00:26:24.000 It's like something, I remember I'd grow up and I'd see like movies where people would get numbers and stuff like that, and how wrong and bad it was, and then it's like, but we've been doing this since, what is it, like 1916 or something?
00:26:34.000 Social security numbers?
00:26:35.000 Not 1916, FDR era.
00:26:37.000 So when was that?
00:26:39.000 30s?
00:26:39.000 Yeah, so you want to do almost anything, you need a social security number, you need to be registered with the government, now you've got New York City saying you need a photo ID, state issued, in order to get access to any of these buildings.
00:26:39.000 30s.
00:26:51.000 Like, go to the restaurant.
00:26:51.000 It's weird.
00:26:53.000 Hey, I want to get, I want to get carryout.
00:26:54.000 Sorry, you can't come in.
00:26:56.000 No, no, carryout's okay.
00:26:57.000 No, but if you can't come in the building, unless you show your ID.
00:27:00.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:02.000 The law exempts carryout.
00:27:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:03.000 Oh, okay.
00:27:04.000 I don't know why.
00:27:05.000 Apparently if you have COVID, but you're only going to be in for carryout, you can't cough on people or something.
00:27:10.000 Also, I learned something really interesting is that when, uh, when you, when you first walk in, You're wearing the mask because COVID sits high, but when you sit down, you're underneath it.
00:27:21.000 I have no idea what that policy is.
00:27:21.000 I'm kidding, by the way.
00:27:23.000 It's like you walk into a restaurant.
00:27:25.000 I was talking to a restaurant on the phone and I was like, they were like, oh, you've got to wear masks regardless of vaccination status.
00:27:30.000 And I was like, okay.
00:27:31.000 And I was like, but then when I sit down, I can take it off.
00:27:33.000 And they're like, yes.
00:27:34.000 And I was like, does that make sense?
00:27:36.000 And the guy was like, I don't know.
00:27:38.000 They just make me do it.
00:27:39.000 And I'm like, yo, that's ridiculous, dude.
00:27:42.000 Like, whatever, man.
00:27:44.000 People just keep the people just follow along.
00:27:45.000 They march along with all this stuff.
00:27:47.000 Well, I mean, you look at Australia right now.
00:27:48.000 It's not just march along, but I mean, they're all locked in their homes again.
00:27:52.000 I mean, I've lost track.
00:27:53.000 I saw somebody post a chart of how many lockdowns Australia has had since COVID.
00:27:59.000 They're going on the 8th, I think.
00:28:00.000 Yeah.
00:28:01.000 7th or 8th.
00:28:02.000 YouTube's mad at us right now.
00:28:03.000 Yeah, they're giving us trouble.
00:28:04.000 Yeah, so I'm checking the feed and I'm seeing it keeps cutting out.
00:28:08.000 Yeah, we've got full internet.
00:28:09.000 We've got our internets.
00:28:11.000 What spicy things are we talking about?
00:28:13.000 Might be us.
00:28:13.000 I think Ben and Andreas were gonna work on the internet today.
00:28:16.000 So there was some issues.
00:28:17.000 No, no, I'm looking at the connection.
00:28:18.000 We're solid.
00:28:18.000 Interesting.
00:28:19.000 We have a solid high-speed connection right now.
00:28:22.000 Yeah, I'll start singing Avenue Q for you know, maybe they'd be happy if we talked about that talk about porn, you know I just I do I wait there is something that needs to be said though.
00:28:32.000 It needs to be said Ian Okay, y'all people need to hear this.
00:28:35.000 Here we go.
00:28:36.000 Mark Zuckerberg is such a good guy.
00:28:38.000 I love You know Jack Dorsey good haircut Well, actually when he goes here out Jack Dorsey did tweet out Rothbard, so I guess I'll do Dorsey's Dorsey's Red pill.
00:28:51.000 He's just co-opted by the corporation right now.
00:28:54.000 Dorsey's also now he moved in from the, I've got the crazy like 400 mile beard into I'm now dating supermodels.
00:29:01.000 So he is going through a little bit of a phase.
00:29:03.000 Midlife crisis.
00:29:04.000 Yeah.
00:29:05.000 He got all the career stuff out of the way.
00:29:06.000 He's just, he's a figurehead for Twitter.
00:29:09.000 You know, he left the company.
00:29:10.000 He's doing Square.
00:29:11.000 Square's doing really well.
00:29:12.000 And then they brought him back because they needed someone to take responsibility, I guess.
00:29:16.000 So he, I don't even know why he does it.
00:29:18.000 I don't, I don't, it doesn't make sense to me.
00:29:19.000 The dude's got, he's a billionaire.
00:29:21.000 Like, what is he worried about?
00:29:22.000 I get that he's maybe feels like just by still having a tether with it, he can still kind
00:29:26.000 of make it, keep it from going totally insane.
00:29:30.000 But when a company buys you out, man, that's their company now.
00:29:33.000 It's not, it's not his company anymore.
00:29:35.000 So yeah, it's like a skin suit.
00:29:36.000 Yeah.
00:29:37.000 But you know, look, actions speak louder than words, I suppose.
00:29:43.000 Did you see when Jack Dorsey tweeted out Rothbard, the anatomy of the state, like all the libertarians and ancaps were like, they're like high-fiving each other.
00:29:49.000 And they're like, yeah, actually, they're probably freaking out.
00:29:52.000 Like our friend Luke was like, what's happening?
00:29:54.000 Jack Dorsey's, no!
00:29:57.000 But I think some of this is a lot of what we see now on social media from famous people is them just screwing with us.
00:30:04.000 And I mean, I think because they know that it changes the narrative and everybody talks about them again.
00:30:04.000 Mm hmm.
00:30:10.000 That's what he does on Twitter.
00:30:12.000 Yeah.
00:30:12.000 That's what Tim does.
00:30:13.000 It's what I mean.
00:30:14.000 It just screws with people.
00:30:15.000 Oh, I love social media.
00:30:16.000 It's like Andy Kaufman.
00:30:17.000 But to be fair, I'm just follow.
00:30:19.000 I'm just following orders.
00:30:21.000 Oh, yeah.
00:30:21.000 Michael Malice.
00:30:22.000 Michael Malice is a pro.
00:30:23.000 I tweeted Joe Biden is the greatest president of this or any generation.
00:30:27.000 And then I waited a few minutes and then I replied, why aren't you retweeting this?
00:30:32.000 And it got like a thousand retweets or something.
00:30:34.000 It got like two thousand replies.
00:30:36.000 But the funny thing is like, I'll tell you exactly why I did a tweet like that.
00:30:40.000 Because you have establishment left activists and how do they respond to that tweet?
00:30:45.000 I said something very, very complimentary to Joe Biden, but the implication is it's Sarcasm!
00:30:54.000 So, the interesting thing is that establishment Democrat-type activists completely ignore tweets like that.
00:31:00.000 And I do that—it kind of proves a point.
00:31:03.000 You know, there was—when I was tweeting about vaccine mandates being wrong, I get all of these establishment Democrat activists being like, you're crazy, you're wrong, there will be medical exemptions, everyone's gotta pitch in.
00:31:18.000 And then when I called all of these restaurants, and I called New York City, and they said no medical exemptions, period.
00:31:25.000 The same activists were nowhere in sight.
00:31:27.000 No longer replying, no longer arguing.
00:31:29.000 They could have replied with like, wow, I didn't see that coming.
00:31:31.000 In fact, I sent messages to Cameron Kasky, the Parkland activist, because we had interacted on the idea of medical exemptions.
00:31:39.000 I tweeted about Google.
00:31:41.000 Mandating vaccines and said, I wonder how many people are going to quit their jobs or lose their jobs.
00:31:46.000 And he said, he responded, there's about to be a lot of openings for people who aren't stupid.
00:31:51.000 And then I was like, some people have medical issues, bro.
00:31:52.000 And he's like, well, there'll be exemptions.
00:31:54.000 So when this thing with New York happened, I just, in good faith, I was like, Hey, just wanted you to see this because I know we had interacted on it.
00:32:00.000 No response.
00:32:01.000 Because these people aren't acting in good faith.
00:32:03.000 If I come out and say something like, you know, Joe Biden should do X, and then someone argues with me, and then Joe Biden goes and does X, I'll be like, well, you know, I should, I could eat my words.
00:32:12.000 Joe Biden just did it.
00:32:13.000 But you don't see that from most tribalists.
00:32:16.000 And you look at, look at what's happening imminently to the military now.
00:32:20.000 We've got hundreds of thousands of people in the military who are not vaccinated.
00:32:25.000 And we're going around celebrating our heroes in Afghanistan.
00:32:29.000 And the left and the right are both like, oh my god, we love the military, the military.
00:32:35.000 But then we're going to turn around in a week or two, and a whole bunch of those people are going to be called up on charges, court-martialed, or get some sort of push down to the military.
00:32:46.000 at a time when our military probably can't afford it and all just like they said the frontline health care workers oh my god we love the nurses and the doctors going at risk in their lives oh wait they're not getting the vaccine that's it for them and they literally throw they throw them out of a moving car And so, you know, it's the inconsistency.
00:33:05.000 The person who doesn't get the vaccine, who chose for whatever reason doesn't get the vaccine, if they're out there risking their life for their country or saving lives as a health care worker, they're still the same darn person that was doing that.
00:33:19.000 So I want to show this here, Anatomy of the State.
00:33:22.000 So most of you, maybe if you missed it, we were just mentioning how Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, ever woke, tweeted out Murray Rothbard, Anatomy of the State.
00:33:35.000 Libertarians and anarcho-capitalists were all hooting and hollering and freaking out.
00:33:39.000 And on page six, which is, you know, the opening of Anatomy of the State, which Jack Dorsey himself posted, The greatest danger to the state is independent intellectual criticism.
00:33:51.000 My oh my!
00:33:52.000 It's very interesting that Jack Dorsey would tweet something like that out considering Twitter actively tries to suppress intellectual criticism of the state.
00:34:02.000 Maybe, maybe Jack, he's like, he's actually locked in a basement.
00:34:07.000 And he's like, you know, and they run everything and he, he broke out and he's all gaunt and frail and like, they're coming to bring his food and the door opens and they're like, here's your food, Dorsey.
00:34:16.000 And then he shoves the guy out of the way and he runs to the computer and he hits CTRL-C, CTRL-V and enemies say enter and they're like, no, and they grab him and they're dragging him back and he's like, no, freedom!
00:34:26.000 And you can like see the Matrix as he's being pulled back.
00:34:29.000 They throw him back in the room. Don't you ever pull something like that again? And then you know, uh, the other
00:34:33.000 twitter exe He escaped from his cell and he tweeted out
00:34:36.000 Rothbard and then they were like, oh, can we delete it? No, the next time he testifies in front of congress
00:34:42.000 We'll have to watch as he blinks to see if he blinks He's got like a he's got like a brain chip
00:34:49.000 It's like a thing on his temple and it like shorts out for a second and he's like I could I can think again
00:34:55.000 And he goes to the computer and he sends it, and then they're like, oh guys, you gotta reboot Dorsey's mind control chip.
00:35:02.000 And he goes, like the V chip from South Park?
00:35:06.000 Yeah, so for the Rogan podcast, and he was talking about blockchain, and I think he's really naive.
00:35:10.000 I think he doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:35:12.000 I think he's, to be completely honest, nice guy, a bit duplicitous, right place and right time.
00:35:19.000 Twitter is not particularly complicated.
00:35:21.000 He said, we discovered Twitter, we didn't invent Twitter, things like that.
00:35:25.000 And when I was talking to him before we did the Rogan podcast, like literally like minutes before, he was saying how he really wanted blockchain-based social media.
00:35:33.000 And he was like, that way, once it's there, it's like there forever.
00:35:35.000 And I'm like, that sounds horrible.
00:35:37.000 That sounds like the worst idea ever.
00:35:39.000 Like, imagine you're 15.
00:35:41.000 You know, and you're like, I'm gonna post a picture of my ass.
00:35:43.000 Because I'm edgy, and I got 10 followers, and I don't care.
00:35:46.000 And then you're 30, and you're like, you know, you've got 50,000 followers now, and you're a sports commentator.
00:35:51.000 And then they're like, couldn't help but notice in your immutable ledger, there's a picture of your ass.
00:35:55.000 It's like...
00:35:57.000 It's in the blockchain.
00:35:57.000 I know.
00:35:59.000 What am I supposed to do about it?
00:36:00.000 It's there forever.
00:36:01.000 In theory, what that should mean is that we all kind of get the get out of jail free for doing dumb stuff.
00:36:07.000 But what in practice it means is, if you did dumb stuff that the elite don't approve of, you know, you can get cancelled at absolutely any point in time in your life.
00:36:18.000 But if they're okay with the dumb stuff, you know, you were part of an Antifa attack or something, oh yeah, that's fine.
00:36:26.000 We don't care.
00:36:27.000 That's fine.
00:36:27.000 You get a nice Reuters article.
00:36:30.000 You were once a noble activist fighting for justice.
00:36:33.000 Tell me how that went.
00:36:34.000 Well, I threw a bunch of bottles at people and then we went around smashing things.
00:36:38.000 Oh, wow.
00:36:38.000 Sounds like fun!
00:36:39.000 Sounds like you've accomplished a lot in your life.
00:36:42.000 Yes, it was hard, but we burned down some bars.
00:36:45.000 That's basically the history of these people when they're older.
00:36:48.000 There's a video that went viral of a journalist Who is trying to cover what's going on in Portland, and this Antifa gets in her face and says that, like, you are endangering people by spreading COVID, which is, like, the craziest thing for Antifa, I guess to say.
00:37:03.000 They're pro-state, whatever.
00:37:05.000 And then they physically attack her, throw her to the ground, spray her with paint and mace or whatever.
00:37:11.000 These people...
00:37:12.000 They're effectively enforcing state edict or whatever.
00:37:20.000 They march around these cities doing literally nothing, believing CNN, and thinking they oppose the state when they're doing everything the state would want them to do.
00:37:30.000 Yeah, I mean, the brown shirts entirely, they say, oh, we're the original anti-fascists, and they post images.
00:37:36.000 You'll see idiots like people at CNN posting images of D-Day landing, and like, oh, anti-fascists, and then comparing them, Chris Cuomo, to Antifa.
00:37:48.000 I'm like, no, these are the worst of the gutter trash who go attack ordinary people on the street.
00:37:55.000 And try to bully people just because they think or say different things.
00:38:00.000 I don't support anybody doing that.
00:38:02.000 I don't care what ideology you've got.
00:38:05.000 If you're going and just walking up to a police speaking, we've proven that.
00:38:08.000 Do you see when they were attacking people who are protesting COVID restrictions?
00:38:12.000 I'm like, isn't that weird?
00:38:13.000 The state comes out and makes like, like Bill de Blasio decrees something that's like not even a law.
00:38:18.000 It's a decree from executor.
00:38:20.000 And they're like, we're going to defend that.
00:38:22.000 And so you come out and be like the, there was actually an event happened in DC where a bunch of conservatives came down to protest corporate censorship and Antifa showed up calling them fascists and started attacking people.
00:38:34.000 And I'm like, yo, are they, are they pro-corporation?
00:38:38.000 It's like Antifa pro.
00:38:41.000 Oh, dude, they're fashion racism.
00:38:43.000 Cause it's a word game to manipulate people who don't pay attention.
00:38:46.000 Right.
00:38:46.000 It's the same thing.
00:38:47.000 Yeah.
00:38:47.000 You know, we've replaced, we've, we've gone full circle where now the very people who go around saying, oh, you can't be racist.
00:38:55.000 Or then going around saying racist stuff.
00:38:58.000 You can get shut down on Twitter or social media for saying anything racist in some groups, but not against others.
00:39:04.000 And it's the game.
00:39:05.000 Look at the anti-Semitism you see on these sites.
00:39:09.000 It's just off the charts.
00:39:10.000 And you see it not just on social media but in schools and colleges and universities.
00:39:17.000 These Jewish students everywhere are now a target when they go to college.
00:39:24.000 That's the exact kind of thing that we look back at history books and say, gee, that was awful when it happened in the 1930s.
00:39:32.000 Why are we allowing it to happen here in this era?
00:39:36.000 Yeah.
00:39:39.000 I love, uh, I'm just reading, you know, I've, I have the anatomy of the state pulled up and just for Jack Dorsey to tweet something referring to the state as parasitic and sapping production and stuff like that.
00:39:48.000 I'm like, wow, maybe he should apply those principles to the companies that he runs.
00:39:53.000 You know, maybe things would get a little bit better, but, uh, I hate to say it.
00:39:56.000 It just seems like things are getting worse and worse.
00:39:59.000 And even, even with what's going on in Afghanistan and everyone kind of turning their back on Biden, it's not, it's, it's not in any way to imply that things will improve.
00:40:07.000 No, I mean, I think, unfortunately, look, I thought we shouldn't be in Afghanistan anywhere near the length of time we were.
00:40:14.000 I mean, if you follow anything about history, we changed the mission.
00:40:19.000 Our military is really good at going and kicking somebody's ass.
00:40:22.000 It just is.
00:40:24.000 But they're not good at forcing you to come into the 21st century and embrace Western values.
00:40:32.000 It's an unfair ask of anybody.
00:40:34.000 And so they went from being war fighters to prison guards and social workers.
00:40:41.000 And that's just, you know, I don't care whether you're carrying the AK-47 or M-16 or whatever you're carrying, if you're trying to convince somebody to join the 21st century when, you know, he can't even read, That's just the wrong mission.
00:40:56.000 That's why it's a 100-year mission.
00:40:59.000 You have to raise several generations and instill in them a norm.
00:41:04.000 But to go into a country where we're there for 20 years, if you went to the American people and said, we want to be here for 100 years to colonize and reclaim, people would be like, get out of here.
00:41:15.000 They would not support that.
00:41:17.000 Well, it's also, it's also geographically really difficult.
00:41:21.000 Afghanistan is a landlocked nation.
00:41:22.000 We're, we're the world's greatest navy.
00:41:26.000 Okay, that's just bad dynamics.
00:41:28.000 So if you're going to do it, and it didn't work well when we did it in Vietnam.
00:41:31.000 I mean, so, because you have to look, it's just like when you go buy a house.
00:41:36.000 I'm, I drive out here, get the, get the wonderful compound, see, see the nice area.
00:41:41.000 When you buy a house, you buy a neighborhood.
00:41:43.000 Well, Afghanistan's in a really bad neighborhood.
00:41:47.000 It's got Pakistan next door, and they're run by Looney Tunes people.
00:41:51.000 It's got China next door.
00:41:53.000 They're even worse.
00:41:55.000 Russia's nearby.
00:41:56.000 Iran is next door.
00:41:59.000 It's a mess.
00:42:00.000 And it's exactly the same problem Vietnam had.
00:42:03.000 When you've got China, a nation now of 1.3 billion people nearby, and you're another nation trying to end up with the same destiny.
00:42:12.000 It doesn't matter whether you're Taiwan or Afghanistan, you're going to have trouble.
00:42:16.000 Yeah.
00:42:18.000 Well, how about we take a look at what's going on over in Afghanistan?
00:42:21.000 It's pretty interesting.
00:42:21.000 We have the story.
00:42:22.000 Tucker Carlson questions if Biden admin botched Afghanistan withdrawal on purpose.
00:42:27.000 And we got some more stories to potentially back up the claim that Joe Biden screwed up Afghanistan on purpose.
00:42:33.000 Tucker Carlson pondered whether or not the administration deliberately botched the Afghan withdrawal during his show Thursday evening.
00:42:39.000 Carlson's guest Glenn Greenwald was discussing how there are elements in the political establishment that would like us to remain in Afghanistan.
00:42:45.000 The conversation led to the host questioning if there was a possibility there was an interest in screwing up to justify future engagement.
00:42:51.000 Quote, I never want to be a conspiracy nut at all, but I mean, everything you said is true so far.
00:42:57.000 So is it worth at least wondering?
00:42:59.000 This is such an obvious screw-up.
00:43:01.000 You and I have no experience running a military or logistics withdrawal.
00:43:04.000 I can't even organize my garage, but even you and I would probably do a better job of withdrawing than these guys.
00:43:10.000 It was just like, it was comically bad.
00:43:12.000 Is it possible they didn't interest in making it bad to justify future engagement, or is that too much to even speculate about?
00:43:18.000 Well, I give you the story from the Daily Mail.
00:43:21.000 Glenn Beck claims U.S.
00:43:22.000 State Department and Biden's White House are blocking his efforts to rescue Afghan Christians from the Taliban who want to set them on fire.
00:43:30.000 Why would they tell someone with the capability of helping in the evacuation not to?
00:43:37.000 Why would they block that?
00:43:38.000 Unless they want the chaos so they can justify remaining.
00:43:43.000 Well, I think there's some legitimate reasons and some illegitimate reasons.
00:43:48.000 I mean, the illegitimate reason, they don't want to be shown up.
00:43:52.000 Our troops have not been allowed to leave the airport area to go rescue Americans elsewhere in Kabul, much less the rest of Afghanistan.
00:44:00.000 But, you know, if you flip it around, if you're trying not to have a confrontation with the Taliban and trying to get everybody out, and you've got random elements out there who, let's just say, are more cowboy-esque and willing to fight if they've got to, well then the Taliban's going to see that as engagement across the board, and then our troops are fighting.
00:44:20.000 So I can see that.
00:44:23.000 But what I can't see is when the State Department rejects when you get people to the airport, the State Department says, sorry, you can't commit that there.
00:44:32.000 Our State Department is not requiring all the paperwork for everybody gets there that they're getting out.
00:44:37.000 So then you look at more.
00:44:39.000 It looks more like, hey, you showed us up.
00:44:41.000 You made us look bad.
00:44:42.000 Let me make a better point.
00:44:45.000 The morning of the attacks, the US and the UK warned their citizens to stay away.
00:44:51.000 The Marines who lost their lives were also briefed that there was potentially going to be an attack.
00:44:59.000 They were still told to process Afghan allies.
00:45:03.000 Something doesn't add up here.
00:45:05.000 Think about this in full context.
00:45:08.000 You've got Marines at the gates checking IDs for Afghan allies to bring them in.
00:45:14.000 The U.S.
00:45:15.000 says someone is going to try to attack us.
00:45:18.000 American citizens stay away.
00:45:21.000 But we'll still board Afghan allies.
00:45:23.000 So they tell the Americans, no, you can't come right now because it's a threat.
00:45:27.000 These people are welcome to get on the plane, and many of them did.
00:45:29.000 They weren't worth as much.
00:45:31.000 But something doesn't make sense.
00:45:33.000 This, to me, is well beyond a mistake.
00:45:36.000 For all I know, the U.S.
00:45:37.000 government could have planted the freaking bombs and lied about it.
00:45:41.000 We're in a conspiracy world.
00:45:42.000 What the heck's going on?
00:45:43.000 We're not in a conspiracy world.
00:45:44.000 We're talking about a fact that they issued a warning saying, Americans, stay away.
00:45:49.000 They told the Americans not to come and then told the Marines to keep processing the Afghan citizens.
00:45:55.000 And then a bomb went off, killing Marines and Afghan citizens.
00:45:58.000 And the reason why there weren't Americans there is because they were told not to be there.
00:46:01.000 But 13 Americans died.
00:46:03.000 U.S.
00:46:03.000 troops.
00:46:03.000 Marines.
00:46:05.000 Who are still down there checking IDs at the airport.
00:46:09.000 Why weren't they pulled from the checkpoints?
00:46:12.000 Why didn't they say, if we can't get Americans out, we ain't getting anybody out, and we're not gonna risk the lives of our troops.
00:46:17.000 No, they said, stay at your post.
00:46:19.000 Someone's gonna attack us.
00:46:21.000 We won't let those Americans die, but you, you're cannon fodder.
00:46:23.000 That's just what they did.
00:46:26.000 I can't imagine that it was an accident.
00:46:28.000 Well, immediately after it happened, you get Biden come out and say, we're going to go after whoever did this at a time of our choosing at a place of basically saying, just so you all know, this is a green light for us to reinvade or to re-attack.
00:46:39.000 We're going to hunt them down.
00:46:42.000 Remember, they're also talking about blowing up all the vehicles and aircraft that we left.
00:46:47.000 So, you know, you talk about, oh, ongoing relations with the Taliban.
00:46:51.000 But by the way, hey, you know, those jets are flying over your country blowing up your stuff.
00:46:54.000 You know, they're ours.
00:46:55.000 Yeah.
00:46:56.000 You know, and we've we made it clear we're not getting everybody out.
00:47:01.000 You know, we we know we're not getting everybody out.
00:47:03.000 So then what happens the first time?
00:47:06.000 Because the Taliban is not a top down organization.
00:47:10.000 It's not, you know, it's not like the U.S.
00:47:12.000 military where When the president gives an order, you expect a private somewhere 7,000 miles away to do exactly what the president ordered.
00:47:20.000 So let's say the first time Taliban not just chops off the head of an American, but live casts it somewhere.
00:47:28.000 you know, who spreads the video on the internet. What are we going to do about it? I mean,
00:47:33.000 this is going to be an ongoing thing. How many hundreds or thousands of Americans and then also
00:47:39.000 American allies are going to be left there? And, you know, it's so whether you like it or not,
00:47:46.000 it's certainly been botched. You're right. I mean, we could have done we could have gotten
00:47:50.000 the DND group from downstairs.
00:47:52.000 We could have planned a better exit using miniatures.
00:47:57.000 I just want to stress this point that needs to be said because it needs to be questioned.
00:48:03.000 There needs to be a hearing.
00:48:04.000 This needs to be brought up.
00:48:06.000 If they said there is an imminent attack and Americans should stay away, But then told the Marines to keep working to process non-citizens for transport.
00:48:18.000 Something doesn't make sense.
00:48:20.000 I think they were taking a risk.
00:48:21.000 Like, they knew there was a probable attack, but you can't shut down just based on— Enough to not evacuate American citizens?
00:48:28.000 Enough to say, we will leave Americans behind enemy lines?
00:48:32.000 Something doesn't make sense.
00:48:34.000 If— What does Joe Biden— Look.
00:48:36.000 We're hearing wild estimates.
00:48:38.000 Some say 1,000 to 2,000 Americans still in Afghanistan.
00:48:40.000 Some say 35,000 to 50,000.
00:48:42.000 Who knows?
00:48:42.000 Yeah, some people, I don't know if that's true or not.
00:48:45.000 NBC reported 15,000.
00:48:46.000 Then there was AP reporting 4,400 evacuated.
00:48:49.000 So let's say maybe 10,000.
00:48:50.000 We don't know.
00:48:51.000 And when the Biden administration is asked, they won't say.
00:48:54.000 So we don't know.
00:48:55.000 But it was enough to say Americans should not come for evacuation, but not enough to say Marines should stop processing You could argue that they're trying to clear the crowd around the area so we can get Americans out, but the problem is the crowd doesn't dissipate.
00:49:13.000 It's millions of people.
00:49:14.000 As soon as you clear out people who are around the airport, more people come.
00:49:19.000 Because a whole bunch of people, particularly in Kabul, want to get out.
00:49:24.000 You know, if you're a woman, why?
00:49:26.000 I mean, and you have some opportunity to get out.
00:49:29.000 Why would you want to say in the, you know, seventh century lunatic asylum where you're going to be sex slave and, you know, that's just your entire future, not going to be able to, you're not going to be out of the burka.
00:49:40.000 You're not going to be able to educate.
00:49:41.000 You're not going to be able to educate your kids.
00:49:43.000 The kids will be taken and basically put into military training.
00:49:47.000 Why would you want to stay?
00:49:48.000 So I understand why people want to get out.
00:49:50.000 But.
00:49:51.000 Yeah, it's like they say, well, we've planned out every eventuality.
00:49:56.000 Clearly they did not.
00:49:58.000 That's a lie.
00:49:59.000 Unless they did, and this is what they want.
00:50:01.000 Because, I mean, take it to its logical conclusion.
00:50:03.000 If they did plan every contingency, Oh wow, so this is on purpose?
00:50:08.000 You planned for this?
00:50:09.000 Why did we close Bagram Air Base?
00:50:11.000 I mean, that's really the big question.
00:50:13.000 You don't have to say we would take the whole exit plan to Bagram, but why did we close the base that's isolated and safe and you don't have really high buildings around where snipers could shoot at you and stuff like that?
00:50:29.000 Something's wrong.
00:50:30.000 This is...
00:50:32.000 You know, part of me wants to believe that Biden fell asleep during a meeting and Kamala and Millie and the other, you know, members of his administration were just kind of like, so, early lunch?
00:50:42.000 And then got up and walked out.
00:50:43.000 Like, we don't care.
00:50:43.000 That's on him, not us.
00:50:45.000 He's the one who's gonna, you know, be attacked in the media.
00:50:48.000 Who's gonna blame us, huh?
00:50:50.000 Well, it turns out a lot of people.
00:50:52.000 Yeah.
00:50:53.000 And I mean, it's not just... But a buck stops with Biden and he's getting the most of the heat.
00:50:55.000 Right.
00:50:55.000 But it's not just and to be fair, it's not just one party.
00:50:58.000 It's not just one group of generals.
00:51:00.000 This is 20 years of everybody owns this.
00:51:03.000 And, you know, we've left 600,000 rifles.
00:51:10.000 600,000 rifles in there, thousands of vehicles, couple hundred aircraft.
00:51:15.000 We left $85 billion worth of hardware.
00:51:20.000 And I'm sorry, I find it hard to believe that that's entirely accidental.
00:51:26.000 You ever see Idiocracy?
00:51:28.000 Oh, love Idiocracy.
00:51:30.000 Mike Judge, man.
00:51:31.000 Oh yeah, I just saw it a week ago.
00:51:32.000 Yeah, we were watching it.
00:51:33.000 It was funny.
00:51:34.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:34.000 It's a documentary.
00:51:35.000 Terrible.
00:51:36.000 So, you know, I think about how Mike Judge took this concept of, like, if nature just rewards those who reproduce the most, what would happen?
00:51:45.000 And I'm like, let's imagine a future based on American foreign policy in the Middle East and what it leads to.
00:51:55.000 So you've got ISIS, you've got the supporting of Syrian rebels and arms dealing, not to mention Fast and Furious with the cartels, and you could make an idiocracy where it's like, After hundreds of years of the U.S.
00:52:08.000 going into foreign countries for intervention, losing and then leaving behind hundreds of millions of dollars in supplies, the world ends up with, like, massive armed factions with, like, American-level technology in all these different parts of the globe, all going to war and just blowing each other up.
00:52:24.000 You end up with, like, just 50 different Isises.
00:52:27.000 Isis, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P. And they're all in different regions, all with Blackhawks and F-15s, bazookas and, Like, why didn't they decommission the planes?
00:52:37.000 Be a good video game.
00:52:38.000 Yeah.
00:52:39.000 The year is 2130.
00:52:42.000 America just pulled out of its 87th attempt.
00:52:45.000 Here you go.
00:52:46.000 Like, why didn't they decommission the planes?
00:52:48.000 Why didn't they melt them down with thermite or something?
00:52:50.000 We left all this stuff for the Afghan army.
00:52:53.000 I have to lift my other arm so I can do air quotes for Afghan army.
00:52:56.000 I don't really blame the Afghan, you know, the soldiers.
00:52:59.000 They lost 50,000 guys in 20 years fighting, fighting against the crazy Taliban.
00:53:04.000 But their leaders were corrupt.
00:53:06.000 Their leaders were, you know, were evil.
00:53:08.000 We weren't allowed to stop that.
00:53:10.000 You know, the fact that it fell apart so fast because they tried to create a modern army for people who were not ready for it.
00:53:18.000 Yeah, and Kurt Schlichter explained this, was saying that we built a modern American style army with massive amounts of logistics, which is like the backbone of our army.
00:53:27.000 It was massive logistics.
00:53:29.000 And then we removed the logistics from it.
00:53:32.000 Yeah, when Biden pulled and said, you know, we're pulling out, he wouldn't allow the contractors back in.
00:53:37.000 Well, the contractors were maintaining the Air Force, but they had a land-based army that was counting on air, you know, air support.
00:53:46.000 And, you know, of course, they realize, hey, you guys built the wrong army.
00:53:51.000 You left us, you left us out hanging out to dry.
00:53:55.000 We built like some Pentagon fantasy army.
00:53:59.000 You ever play Command & Conquer?
00:54:00.000 Yeah.
00:54:02.000 They should have built Tesla coils just all over.
00:54:05.000 There's still time.
00:54:07.000 This is really the OG gaming night.
00:54:11.000 We're whipping out Command & Conquer, man.
00:54:13.000 For those that aren't familiar with the reference, Command & Conquer is like an isometric strategy game where you collect resources, Tiberium, and then Similar to StarCraft.
00:54:22.000 Yeah, so there's something you can build.
00:54:23.000 I think Tesla coils are not, right?
00:54:25.000 They're like the bad guys.
00:54:26.000 Or is that Red Alert?
00:54:27.000 Did Nod have Tesla coils?
00:54:28.000 Or is that only the second one in Red Alert?
00:54:30.000 I think that's Red Alert.
00:54:31.000 Oh, okay.
00:54:32.000 Right, right, right.
00:54:32.000 Red Alert.
00:54:33.000 Soviets.
00:54:34.000 Awesome game, by the way.
00:54:35.000 Dude, it's so groundbreaking.
00:54:36.000 So you build towers, and they're Tesla coils, and when anyone gets close, it just zaps them with a bolt of lightning and just...
00:54:42.000 That was how I learned about the word Tesla.
00:54:44.000 I didn't know what- I never even heard the name before.
00:54:46.000 That's how buried that guy was.
00:54:48.000 We were talking about- we got weeds, okay?
00:54:50.000 We got, like, weeds.
00:54:51.000 They're growing everywhere.
00:54:52.000 And we used to have this really nice, like, trim around the porch of wood chips.
00:54:57.000 And the weeds started growing and just nobody really paid attention within, like, a month.
00:55:01.000 It's just a jungle, right?
00:55:03.000 So I got a weed whacker.
00:55:04.000 But the weeds are too overgrown and the whacker broke.
00:55:07.000 So I was like, what do we do?
00:55:08.000 I'm like, we can take, we have these throwing axes.
00:55:10.000 I'm like, what if we bolt the throwing axe to the weed whacker?
00:55:12.000 And then everyone's like, that's a really, really bad idea.
00:55:16.000 This is going to eject a hatchet, you know.
00:55:18.000 You're standing next to it.
00:55:19.000 Hold on.
00:55:20.000 And so I said, what if we took the magnetron out of a microwave, attached it to the end of a 2x4, put a soup can on it to direct the microwaves, and then carried one of those high-power batteries we have in our backs, and created a portable active-denial system, and then we could point that, which would effectively boil the water in the weeds, and kill them?
00:55:36.000 And then I realized, whoa, we could build a portable active denial system.
00:55:38.000 That's kind of crazy.
00:55:40.000 Active denial system is a microwave weapon the military uses to make people feel like they're on fire.
00:55:44.000 And I'm like, that's kind of crazy.
00:55:45.000 I'm sure your neighbors would just love to know that you built one of those.
00:55:48.000 We don't really have neighbors.
00:55:49.000 I mean, kind of.
00:55:50.000 You have to walk quite a bit for the most part.
00:55:52.000 But, uh...
00:55:54.000 I don't know what the law is on that, so we'll just not do it.
00:55:57.000 I think I would recommend, at least while we're on YouTube right now, saying that you're not planning on building this.
00:56:03.000 Well, we can plan on it, but we gotta look at the legality.
00:56:05.000 Hold on.
00:56:07.000 There's videos on YouTube showing you how to do it!
00:56:09.000 Oh, wow.
00:56:10.000 Yeah, so when you put the soup can, or I think they might use a Pringles can, it's like, depending on the frequency of the microwaves, it focuses it.
00:56:16.000 And so this is really cool.
00:56:18.000 They do these experiments where they will take a two by four, put the magnetron on it, plug it in, and they'll point it at fluorescent lights and the light up.
00:56:25.000 That's like, it's crazy, right?
00:56:26.000 Like wireless energy.
00:56:27.000 Yeah.
00:56:28.000 And this is a little, a little, maybe not off topic, but a bigger picture.
00:56:31.000 What is on top?
00:56:31.000 I can't wait.
00:56:33.000 I can't stand the nanny state trying to protect and control the mind because we have access to the most dangerous and epic equipment at all times.
00:56:41.000 We have open flame, for instance, fire.
00:56:44.000 Yeah, you can get your own flamethrower.
00:56:46.000 Those are illegal in a lot of states.
00:56:49.000 Depending on where you are.
00:56:50.000 For a human to experiment with dangerous technology is part of how we've developed and become what we are as a species.
00:56:57.000 So to think that we could ever mute that For the safety of our species is, in my opinion, just is illogical.
00:57:05.000 So here's what I'll say.
00:57:07.000 When I look at Afghanistan and this conventional warfare they do, I'm wondering why they aren't focused on non-conventional means.
00:57:16.000 So I'll give you a gaming example for the gamers.
00:57:19.000 You're familiar with, you play D&D, did you play Magic the Gathering or anything?
00:57:22.000 Sorry, yeah.
00:57:23.000 You're familiar with in-game meta.
00:57:26.000 So, for those that aren't familiar, this means, like, if there is a style of play in a sport, let's say MMA.
00:57:32.000 A lot of people know MMA.
00:57:34.000 The MMA guys all learn very specific things because there's, you know, certain styles are more efficient, more effective in the long run.
00:57:42.000 So, people decide, I'm gonna learn these, you know, certain martial arts for these circumstances.
00:57:48.000 But then what happens is, one day someone says, I'm going to do something totally unconventional, that they're not expecting.
00:57:54.000 And they throw something into the mix that may be risky, but these guys didn't train for.
00:57:58.000 That upsets what's called the meta.
00:58:00.000 So, you know, when I think about this conventional warfare, like the Taliban, it's been 20 years.
00:58:05.000 They know exactly what the US has in terms of armaments.
00:58:07.000 Why didn't the US actually start implementing Less conventional, like new technologies, new strategies, new methodologies.
00:58:14.000 And it may be true.
00:58:15.000 I mean, we know about Active Nile systems they've used in Afghanistan and Iraq, I believe.
00:58:19.000 But there's a bunch of things they could have done.
00:58:20.000 Laser-induced plasma channels.
00:58:22.000 I joke about the Tesla coil, but laser-induced plasma technology has been around for some time now.
00:58:27.000 They can literally point a machine at you that strikes you with lightning.
00:58:32.000 There's a lot of things that with something like that and enough power to the system, you wouldn't need to aim.
00:58:38.000 It would literally just be a big block.
00:58:40.000 And if the enemy approached it, it would zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap.
00:58:43.000 Yeah, but you're talking basically the apocalypse now solution, the Colonel Kurtz,
00:58:47.000 you know, they, you know, the guy who goes, you got US government's fighting the war the wrong way
00:58:52.000 in Vietnam, so I'm going to fight the right way and go native and, you know, do things differently.
00:58:56.000 Well, but that's, but I will say that is part of the problem. We built a modern army.
00:59:02.000 I will stress too.
00:59:02.000 I will.
00:59:03.000 I haven't gone over there.
00:59:04.000 Yeah.
00:59:04.000 I'm sure there's some dude who's like, this guy's an idiot.
00:59:07.000 We can say this is, but we're just discussing when you're talking about simply breaking the rules.
00:59:12.000 I I'm a much less now than it used to be.
00:59:16.000 Football fan.
00:59:17.000 Low orbit ion cannons.
00:59:18.000 Baltimore. Baltimore Ravens broke the rules. The NFL says you're going to zig.
00:59:22.000 Everybody went to the quarterbacks and threw along and all the Ravens said,
00:59:25.000 well, we're going to have the world's biggest rushing attack. And they then,
00:59:29.000 you know, that, I mean, so, I was on the receiving end of that as a Browns fan.
00:59:33.000 I mean, that's, and so if you try something for 20 years and the
00:59:39.000 Taliban still there, well, you would, you would think getting bigger and getting
00:59:43.000 My theory is that they didn't ever want to destroy the Taliban.
00:59:45.000 They want to work with the Taliban.
00:59:46.000 They always did.
00:59:47.000 They knew they wanted to convince them to join.
00:59:50.000 They realized that wasn't going to happen.
00:59:50.000 Now they want to make them, the government, an ally with them from afar, basically.
00:59:55.000 Focus on ISIS-K this time.
00:59:56.000 It was justification for staying in the country.
00:59:58.000 Well, I think I say because I mean, then you get into it is a legitimate question that journalists have not dug into is the military industrial complex.
01:00:06.000 And where did all the generals who were in Afghanistan go to work after they left?
01:00:11.000 And how much money did they make and how many of them were living in nice big houses now?
01:00:15.000 And same for the politicians that then went to work for K Street.
01:00:19.000 I mean, those are these are the questions that when you see articles in major media right now saying, oh, well, apparently all the Soldiers in Afghanistan who were training the Afghan soldiers realized this was all going to fall apart, that what we were setting up was flawed from the very beginning.
01:00:37.000 And then you look, okay, well then why can't we dig into that?
01:00:40.000 That's what journalists should be doing.
01:00:42.000 That's legitimate.
01:00:43.000 I don't care whether you're left or right.
01:00:44.000 I don't care who made the decision.
01:00:46.000 I mean, like I said, 20 years, there's a lot of people on both sides who might be tied to this.
01:00:51.000 That's what major media are for, to do that digging.
01:00:54.000 But because to do that digging, you've got to also alienate the Washington inside the Beltway class, because they don't want that kind of digging, because it's going to make them all look bad.
01:01:06.000 You know what I'm really upset by?
01:01:08.000 I tweeted at Elon Musk, you know, maybe a year or so ago.
01:01:12.000 Why haven't you built an Iron Man suit yet?
01:01:12.000 Why aren't you built?
01:01:15.000 And he responded with working on Starship.
01:01:17.000 And I said that is an acceptable response.
01:01:21.000 The reason I highlight that is that What do people do when they become wealthy and successful?
01:01:26.000 Boats.
01:01:27.000 Women.
01:01:28.000 Dumb stuff.
01:01:29.000 Jewelry.
01:01:30.000 It's like, how many people are actively doing crazy stuff like Elon Musk is?
01:01:34.000 I bring that up, I don't want to derail too much, but when you look at what the U.S.
01:01:34.000 Very, very few.
01:01:38.000 does, it's 20 years of conventional warfare of the exact same thing we're doing.
01:01:41.000 I'm just wondering, where's the low-orbit ion cannon?
01:01:44.000 You know what I mean?
01:01:44.000 Just like...
01:01:47.000 Like, selectively targeting... I get it, I get it.
01:01:49.000 They have Hellfire missiles, and they can very much still do that from the air.
01:01:53.000 But I'm just saying, too many people think inside the box.
01:01:56.000 They don't visualize outside of it.
01:01:58.000 And because of this, we spend 20 years doing the same thing that's not working, over and over and over again, putting our hand on the stove and going, Ow!
01:02:04.000 It burns!
01:02:05.000 It burns!
01:02:05.000 Ow!
01:02:06.000 And we just don't stop.
01:02:06.000 Ow!
01:02:07.000 We never stop.
01:02:08.000 I was going to say, unfortunately, the whole world looks at that and says, we don't learn.
01:02:15.000 And I know some military people who have been, you know, who are very worried about if the U.S.
01:02:20.000 ends up in a confrontation, particularly in the Pacific, because the Pacific is a long reach for us.
01:02:26.000 We don't have land bases like we do in Europe, where we have lots of infrastructure and, you know, Germany and France and stuff like that.
01:02:34.000 Guam and Hawaii.
01:02:35.000 But they're there.
01:02:37.000 Far between and easier to target for missiles.
01:02:42.000 Did you know that our Air Force was all centralized in one location?
01:02:47.000 I think it was Guam.
01:02:48.000 And then it was only recently that we just took all of our Air Force and spread it around the Pacific.
01:02:52.000 Like, China could have just one-shotted our entire Air Force.
01:02:56.000 Some people are asleep at the wheel of this machine right now.
01:02:59.000 This is freaking terrifying.
01:03:01.000 It's because we're the children of the children of the children of those who actually fought in the war.
01:03:06.000 And so it's, it's, it's, it's the, uh, you know, wealth only lasts three generations.
01:03:11.000 We did not exp- look at Mark Milley.
01:03:13.000 He's a politician and a bureaucrat.
01:03:14.000 He's got all this decorated nonsense and he's like, white rage.
01:03:18.000 And it's like, this guy doesn't know what he's doing or talking about.
01:03:20.000 He's a politician.
01:03:21.000 That's how he gets that position.
01:03:24.000 How many people have actually, you know, in leadership, have actually gone into combat?
01:03:27.000 I mean, Donald Trump wasn't politician or in the military.
01:03:32.000 He was a businessman.
01:03:34.000 And he still had more people liking what he was doing.
01:03:37.000 But you get someone like Joe Biden, who's a career bureaucrat and politician, surrounded by career bureaucrats.
01:03:41.000 They have no idea what's going on.
01:03:42.000 No.
01:03:42.000 No experience and no understanding of how to maintain and build a system like this.
01:03:47.000 What's worse is where we've reached now with government is government officials aren't even good at doing the one thing they should be good at, which is being government officials.
01:03:58.000 FDR, for all of his flaws when he was basically the equivalent of a king, where he won presidency four times, I can't remember if it was in 42 or 43, somewhere out in Virginia, they established an operation to plan post-war, after we won, how to run Germany, Italy, and Japan.
01:04:20.000 Now, think about that when the war was still wildly in doubt.
01:04:24.000 We're devoting efforts to already plan to, you know, what happens when we win.
01:04:29.000 So, of course, when we won, we had plans.
01:04:31.000 We had a bunch of people trained.
01:04:33.000 We were somewhat ready for it.
01:04:35.000 And then when you look, you know, Iraq, Afghanistan, we weren't ready at all.
01:04:42.000 And we had years and years.
01:04:43.000 Our bureaucrats don't plan like that.
01:04:47.000 So I mean, the very thing you want government to be good at is big government.
01:04:52.000 I mean, OK, if you're going to at least you're going to be big government, do it well.
01:04:56.000 I think the simple solution may just be that the U.S.
01:04:59.000 doesn't want the end of the Taliban.
01:05:01.000 They wanted an excuse to maintain these positions.
01:05:04.000 They didn't want an end to ISIS.
01:05:06.000 You know, look, under Obama, ISIS grows and grows and grows.
01:05:08.000 Under Trump, he just crushes them.
01:05:10.000 And it's because, for one, ISIS was destabilizing Syria in a lot of ways, and that's what the U.S., I think, was hoping for.
01:05:17.000 a good excuse to go in and do whatever they want.
01:05:17.000 And it gives the U.S.
01:05:19.000 But, oh no, oh geez, we have to go to war because of these bad, bad people.
01:05:22.000 And it's like, yeah, the bad, bad people that you're responsible for.
01:05:25.000 Look, we funded the Mujahideen, we supported them, and we made a mess of things.
01:05:31.000 And that's all, apparently, we keep doing.
01:05:33.000 But this is why politicians hated Donald Trump.
01:05:37.000 The rule of Washington, and you see this in both political parties, is they never want issues to go away.
01:05:46.000 Why are we still fighting over abortion on the right?
01:05:48.000 Because Republicans had both houses.
01:05:48.000 Why?
01:05:50.000 And they didn't do it.
01:05:54.000 Why?
01:05:54.000 Because then if you remove the issue, if you end that fight, everybody will vote for you next time.
01:06:00.000 My God, you're the guy who ended abortion.
01:06:02.000 God bless you.
01:06:03.000 And then the next time they say, well, what have you done for me lately?
01:06:06.000 And so if you end an issue, so nobody wants to end the fight.
01:06:06.000 Right.
01:06:11.000 The same goes for the military.
01:06:12.000 Military want to have a base.
01:06:14.000 They wanted Bagram Air Base for the end of time.
01:06:18.000 I was like okay well why so they're the generals are pouting you know oh my god you took away our air base that we could access all sorts of stuff in asia well Then be honest about it.
01:06:30.000 It's okay, well, we're gonna be there, we're not gonna ever leave, because we are the bad guests.
01:06:35.000 We are the people who show up in your home at 5.30 in the evening, and come 4 a.m.
01:06:41.000 after everybody's left, we're still sitting there, and we're saying, hey, you got some more chips?
01:06:46.000 Yeah, but when we got there, we kicked the windows in to get in, and then sat down with M16s after we were supposed to be there.
01:06:53.000 We're the guy at the dinner party where everybody is, you know, finishing off their plates and the waiter comes out and says, now, would any of you like dessert?
01:07:00.000 No, no, no.
01:07:01.000 I'll have the souffle.
01:07:02.000 That takes 45 minutes, sir.
01:07:03.000 I'm OK.
01:07:04.000 It's a family guy joke.
01:07:05.000 I'm stealing a family guy joke.
01:07:06.000 You get a call from the FBI.
01:07:08.000 They're like, I'll have some.
01:07:09.000 Yeah.
01:07:09.000 And then, of course, you want everybody to divide up the check.
01:07:13.000 Right.
01:07:13.000 All right.
01:07:14.000 Oh, I'll tell you this, man.
01:07:15.000 I once went out to dinner.
01:07:16.000 I got invited to a dinner when I was working at a media company.
01:07:20.000 And they're like, we won't name any names.
01:07:23.000 I worked for only two.
01:07:25.000 We're going to this very expensive restaurant, which I won't name.
01:07:29.000 And you're invited to come.
01:07:31.000 And they were like, just ordering and ordering and like bringing things out.
01:07:34.000 And they were like, get this, get that, get this.
01:07:37.000 And I'm like eating my food.
01:07:38.000 And I'm like, this is really expensive stuff.
01:07:39.000 It was like a hundred dollar plate.
01:07:40.000 But I'm like, it's cool.
01:07:41.000 Cause I'm just gonna get this thing.
01:07:42.000 And then afterwards they're like, so split it.
01:07:44.000 Okay.
01:07:45.000 And the bill was like two grand, and I was like, what?
01:07:48.000 There was like five of us or whatever.
01:07:50.000 I'm like, dude, that's how they get you.
01:07:53.000 And I'm like, you're crazy.
01:07:54.000 That's a scene from the movie, The Paper.
01:07:58.000 That's what we're doing in the Middle East, I guess.
01:08:01.000 Now, it's crazy to see.
01:08:02.000 I think the EU leaders in the UK were saying Biden's lost it.
01:08:07.000 They're calling him out.
01:08:09.000 They're condemning him.
01:08:10.000 You screwed this up, blah, blah, blah.
01:08:14.000 Yeah.
01:08:14.000 Well, the one thing we've not talked about from this is because you talk about the EU.
01:08:18.000 What is going to forget the couple hundred thousand people we get out of Afghanistan?
01:08:24.000 There are 38 million people in Afghanistan.
01:08:26.000 And, you know, the Taliban is not exactly going to really focus on border control.
01:08:31.000 38 million people in Afghanistan.
01:08:33.000 So they're not going to they're not going to be focused on border control.
01:08:35.000 So how many people from Afghanistan start the long trek 10 million.
01:08:41.000 A third of the country.
01:08:43.000 There's food shortages across the border.
01:08:44.000 goodies. 10 million. You know, third of the country. No, but Europe's been decimated by,
01:08:48.000 by like the global economy is just in flames. There's food shortages across the border.
01:08:54.000 Right. But you look at Europe and then you look at Afghanistan, believe me,
01:08:57.000 it's an upgrade. It's, you know, and it's one hell of an upgrade.
01:09:02.000 So that's why people are constantly risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean.
01:09:08.000 I went to Greece and I actually interviewed many refugees.
01:09:08.000 You know, I'll tell you this.
01:09:13.000 And it was really amazing when I was in Athens and we saw some people drug dealing.
01:09:18.000 And so we actually asked them, like, hey, would you want to do an interview?
01:09:20.000 We pointed the camera down.
01:09:21.000 We didn't show their face.
01:09:22.000 And the guy said that he came.
01:09:24.000 I think it's been a long time since I watched the video.
01:09:25.000 The video is still up on my YouTube channel.
01:09:26.000 You can watch it.
01:09:27.000 I think he was from Afghanistan.
01:09:29.000 And they were all given these dreams of, like, how amazing it will be if you can finally make it to Europe, and then he realized it was all not true.
01:09:36.000 That coming here was actually worse off.
01:09:38.000 That, you know, you don't speak the language, that your only option is to be a drug dealer, and now you're at risk of being imprisoned, and you're not free, and it's scary.
01:09:46.000 When I went to France, I went outside one of these refugee centers, And this was the sentiment.
01:09:51.000 They said we were lied to.
01:09:53.000 We were told we would come here.
01:09:54.000 We'd be given jobs and homes.
01:09:55.000 Instead, we're suffering.
01:09:57.000 It's worse than ever.
01:09:58.000 And if I could, I'd go back home.
01:10:00.000 And then I went to Lesvos.
01:10:02.000 And there were people who were like swimming to the island.
01:10:04.000 And they were like, it's a prison camp.
01:10:06.000 They were like, we came here and now we're in prison camps.
01:10:09.000 And so they were constantly rioting.
01:10:09.000 It's torture.
01:10:11.000 And I'm like, someone is telling these people some BS.
01:10:14.000 Well, I mean, to some extent, it's the people who sell them immigration, the people who get thousands of dollars from it.
01:10:21.000 Oh, yeah, I'll care.
01:10:22.000 I'll transit you across the Mediterranean for thousands of dollars.
01:10:26.000 One of those boats that, you know, that they try to stop got fifty hundred people in it.
01:10:31.000 You figure a couple grand a piece on a on a leaky wooden boat with an outboard motor.
01:10:37.000 I mean, you know, that's that's why they're doing it.
01:10:41.000 Yeah, and I think Greece started scuttling ships and just kicking them off.
01:10:45.000 They built a wall.
01:10:46.000 Yeah, they also built a wall.
01:10:48.000 Very good.
01:10:48.000 They built a wall.
01:10:49.000 That's a funny thing, too.
01:10:50.000 I remember when I went to Sweden and then I went to Europe for the refugee crisis.
01:10:55.000 Donald Trump was like, we're going to build the wall.
01:10:56.000 It's going to be the greatest wall.
01:10:58.000 And people kept saying walls won't work because people will fly over.
01:11:00.000 And then I'm like, a three meter chain link fence reduced immigration into, I can't remember which country, by like 90 percent.
01:11:09.000 And the reason was the families couldn't go over like the father probably could, but the mom and the kids couldn't climb the fence.
01:11:15.000 So they'd go around.
01:11:16.000 Well, and so just literally just a chain link fence.
01:11:18.000 Well, walls, walls also work when you when you man them.
01:11:21.000 Yeah, I mean, they don't think if if you somebody can throw a ladder up and put it over and then everybody can climb over.
01:11:27.000 Yes.
01:11:27.000 But if you've got, you know, a moat with alligators.
01:11:31.000 Well, I mean, you've got Hadrian's Wall.
01:11:32.000 I mean, this is a system that worked for a long time.
01:11:35.000 You've got the Great Wall of China.
01:11:37.000 Their walls do work, but they require staffing.
01:11:41.000 And you have to, you know, you have to say, sorry, no.
01:11:41.000 Yeah.
01:11:44.000 Stop, everybody.
01:11:45.000 No.
01:11:47.000 But look at the border we've got with Canada.
01:11:49.000 We've got a 3,000-mile unprotected border.
01:11:52.000 So yes, if people want to go into Canada, Canada lets, you know, pre-COVID, Canada let anybody in.
01:11:58.000 Now, Canada's also an insane asylum that just restricts every right you could possibly ever think you had.
01:12:07.000 So pretty soon, I guess we're gonna start getting refugees from Canada into the United States, so we'll have to worry about that border, too.
01:12:13.000 So this is, uh, yeah, I didn't see this story.
01:12:15.000 Check it out from Reuters.
01:12:16.000 August 21st, Greece completes border wall extension to deter potential Afghan migrants.
01:12:22.000 And, uh, there it is.
01:12:23.000 I mean, that's a hefty wall.
01:12:24.000 Looks like it's got barbed wire on it.
01:12:27.000 Notice it looks better built than ours.
01:12:29.000 What's up with that?
01:12:29.000 Yeah.
01:12:30.000 It's a boundary with Turkey.
01:12:32.000 It is bollard fencing.
01:12:33.000 It's, it's very, very similar, but it does look better.
01:12:35.000 Like ours look rusty.
01:12:36.000 What was up with that?
01:12:37.000 You know, they built it with rust.
01:12:40.000 Well also then, you have to remember, you wonder if when the Greeks build that wall, if they're also thinking about the fact that they tend to maybe go to war with the Turks?
01:12:52.000 Is this just one more sort of discouragement to the Turks roaming in and attacking them?
01:12:59.000 Because they still divide Cyprus.
01:13:02.000 You know, it's like the global order is collapsing.
01:13:05.000 It's not just the United States.
01:13:07.000 It's all of this international trade.
01:13:09.000 You know, when we were hearing China was turning back ships from American companies because they wanted to keep the equipment, the PPE and stuff like that.
01:13:17.000 Just the whole system is collapsing.
01:13:18.000 Well, it's that the center cannot hold thing.
01:13:20.000 I mean, you know, we've all four of us lived in unprecedented times.
01:13:28.000 We're still benefiting from the post-war boom, from World War II.
01:13:33.000 World War II blew up the manufacturing and the cities of pretty much almost every civilized nation.
01:13:44.000 And coming out of it, it states We didn't do it.
01:13:49.000 So we built tons of factories, and then the soldiers came back.
01:13:52.000 We had this manufacturing base, and we're very difficult to invade, at least as a military, because of where we're located.
01:14:01.000 And we're armored to the teeth.
01:14:02.000 Yeah, and so we still were sort of basking in that, but times changed.
01:14:09.000 When the internet got invented, Fortress America went away because suddenly Russia, China, and Iran, anybody else who wanted to involve themselves in America could do so every single day.
01:14:25.000 They could do it on the internet and social media made it worse.
01:14:28.000 It's not, let's talk about, you know, Russia.
01:14:31.000 I'm talking about RT.
01:14:32.000 I'm talking about, you know, Chinese media.
01:14:34.000 Chinese have Facebook won't allow itself to be based in China.
01:14:40.000 Oh, we're not gonna go in China.
01:14:42.000 They got the great firewall of China.
01:14:44.000 But meanwhile, Chinese media companies have 751 million followers on Facebook.
01:14:51.000 million followers on Facebook. Oh yeah. 751 million followers and pushing out
01:14:59.000 pro-China propaganda. I don't see Facebook kicking them off.
01:15:03.000 I don't see them restricting because they don't dare mess with China.
01:15:06.000 And not to mention, in fact, of course, the money they're getting from the ad placement on those 751 million users.
01:15:15.000 Yeah, I was looking at Facebook followers, man, and these politicians will have like 600,000 followers, 300,000 followers, people I've never really even heard of or just starting to hear of.
01:15:25.000 It could be, that could be a good thing that they're becoming famous, but they're not really that special of people.
01:15:30.000 Like I don't, they don't strike me as like exceptionally talented or intelligent, maybe, maybe intelligent, maybe, but they just, they put them, so they ran for that position.
01:15:37.000 They won the popularity contest and now they're.
01:15:40.000 Super like 27 year old people have hundreds of thousands of followers that will never leave like for the rest of their life.
01:15:46.000 Those people know who they are.
01:15:48.000 And this is disturbing.
01:15:51.000 It's disturbing that that a politician might make a life out of it.
01:15:54.000 That that is not tenable.
01:15:56.000 Well, we live in a narcissistic culture.
01:15:59.000 We've exported it now to the whole world.
01:16:01.000 To sell out your ethics to get re-elected has brought us to where we're at right now, I think.
01:16:07.000 Well, it's not just re-elected.
01:16:08.000 It's get famous.
01:16:09.000 I mean, that's what happened with Swalwell.
01:16:13.000 If you're not an especially famous congressman and And some hot young girl wants to, I'll use the air quotes again, euphemistically date you.
01:16:26.000 And, you know, alarm bells should go off in your head if she's super hot and old Chinese.
01:16:37.000 Somehow that should occur to you.
01:16:39.000 You see it all the time.
01:16:40.000 The frumpy weird kid, you know, and he's, you know, Just trying to be cool and fit in and then all of a sudden this attractive woman and he falls right for it.
01:16:53.000 Oldest story in the book.
01:16:54.000 Turns out she's a Chinese spy the whole time.
01:16:56.000 Horatio Sanz was going through that.
01:16:58.000 His statement was like, when I was a kid I was super unpopular and girls never liked me and now he's super famous and he's got all these like 17 year olds coming up to him and crawling all over him at bars.
01:17:07.000 So he was a creepy weirdo when he was young and he's an even creepier weirdo when he's older.
01:17:12.000 Love you, love you Horatio.
01:17:13.000 No, I'm just kidding.
01:17:14.000 I don't know anything about that guy.
01:17:16.000 Yeah, and I don't know if he was the one that said that.
01:17:17.000 I think Chris D'Elia had said that, that like, when I was a kid, I had no.
01:17:21.000 And so now he's older and he's like, high school girls are talking to him for the first time.
01:17:25.000 But telling people you were a creepy weirdo when you were young doesn't excuse you.
01:17:28.000 No, it's disgusting.
01:17:29.000 But now you understand why they go, why they're crazy like that.
01:17:32.000 Why would a famous... Ordinary people don't have the opportunities to take advantage or be taken advantage of the way famous people do.
01:17:43.000 Look at athletes.
01:17:45.000 Athletes, the second they're identified in peewee sports, you know, you're a, oh my god, you can throw the ball.
01:17:54.000 Oh my god, you can run fast.
01:17:56.000 You can hit the ball.
01:17:58.000 Their lives change.
01:17:59.000 Everybody tells them they're great.
01:18:02.000 High school, grade schools, high schools, college, bend over backwards.
01:18:06.000 The stars of our pro sports, even the secondary or tertiary players in our pro sports, were people who were stars every step along the way in their lives.
01:18:17.000 Ravens right now have a backup quarterback who actually beat Lamar Jackson, the starting quarterback, when they were in high school together.
01:18:25.000 And so, Now he's a backup quarterback in the NFL, maybe he's the second quarterback, and he's always been a star.
01:18:36.000 When that happens, you'll have women throw themselves at you, or men, depending on who you are.
01:18:44.000 Financial opportunities, everybody thinks everything you say and do is perfect.
01:18:49.000 This is what happens to politicians.
01:18:50.000 Politicians get used to yes people.
01:18:53.000 One of the worst problems that they see is nobody will tell the boss, hey boss, that's a really stupid idea.
01:19:03.000 And so it becomes a culture.
01:19:05.000 Every time I hire people, I have to sit down and try to explain to them, yes, you're allowed to tell me I'm wrong.
01:19:11.000 Matter of fact, you're encouraged to do it because sometimes I'm an idiot.
01:19:14.000 That's a good point because we hire them, but then they hire a bunch of yes-men to surround them as they do their job, like their staff, these politicians.
01:19:23.000 Or they're politicians because yes-men surround them and tell them to run.
01:19:28.000 You know what it is?
01:19:29.000 I was reading that celebrities tend to be narcissists, because narcissists tend to be the people who insert themselves.
01:19:37.000 And so, it's no surprise the people who are on TV all the time are the people who are demanded to be on TV because they think they're better than you.
01:19:45.000 You get a bunch of narcissists and sociopaths.
01:19:47.000 Same thing is true of politicians.
01:19:49.000 There's the people who are like, I must run because only I can save the people!
01:19:53.000 It's like, you're a nutjob.
01:19:55.000 How do you find real leadership?
01:19:56.000 But I mean that's all people in Washington.
01:19:59.000 I had a former girlfriend of mine tell me one time, she's like, well you don't have a big ego.
01:20:03.000 I said, you're just grading on a curve.
01:20:05.000 You know, it's just DC man, you know, you're working on Capitol Hill.
01:20:09.000 Everybody in DC's got a huge ego just by comparison.
01:20:13.000 Yeah, if we could find a way to use ego for an energy source, DC would power the universe.
01:20:20.000 Pies of electricity?
01:20:22.000 Measuring the vibration of the brainwaves and creating electrostatic charge?
01:20:25.000 When you say brainwaves in DC, I think you definitely would be able to power a flashlight.
01:20:33.000 I mean, that's being generous.
01:20:35.000 An LED flashlight.
01:20:36.000 How about that?
01:20:37.000 Did you work in the DC machine?
01:20:39.000 Prior to working for media critics, I was in media.
01:20:46.000 I worked a couple of daily papers.
01:20:47.000 I worked for Chronicle Higher Education, Congressional Quarterly.
01:20:52.000 I've always worked in media or in some form or now criticizing media.
01:20:57.000 Do you think this is something we've come up with is that they say politics is downstream from culture?
01:21:02.000 I think culture is downstream from technology.
01:21:04.000 Do you see any any possibility that this system could be solved politically?
01:21:08.000 Well, the problem is political will comes from people, which is back to culture.
01:21:15.000 And, you know, that's so I mean, it's all it's all synergistic.
01:21:19.000 I mean, there's no you can't just take one piece out.
01:21:23.000 Donald Trump was a great example of how A combination of technology and culture.
01:21:30.000 People just wanting change.
01:21:33.000 A lot of Bernie Sanders people voting for Donald Trump.
01:21:36.000 People were frustrated with the powers that be.
01:21:39.000 You think people were frustrated with the powers that be when they voted for Donald Trump?
01:21:43.000 You get three and a half more years of what's been going on the last seven months, and they'll be willing to vote for the ice cream salesman down the street.
01:21:52.000 Let's say, establishment politics, we will call Substance X.
01:21:58.000 And Substance X has been pouring out of all of our faucets and our vents and our TVs.
01:22:05.000 It's the blow.
01:22:05.000 Yeah, it's just sludge.
01:22:08.000 And then what happens is Trump comes along and he's like, I'm gonna fix it all.
01:22:11.000 I'm the best.
01:22:11.000 It'll go away.
01:22:12.000 No more Substance X. And people are like, I will take whatever I can get.
01:22:17.000 But what happens is he plugs it up.
01:22:19.000 It starts backing up in the pipes.
01:22:21.000 And now Biden is like ultra concentrated substance acts.
01:22:25.000 It's like, it's like it builds up and then Trump holds it back for a few years and then boom, it comes out and you get everything that people hated about establishment politics going back for decades.
01:22:36.000 Biden is, and with along, along, along with the media, like a hyper concentrated version of it.
01:22:42.000 Well, it's not just by its particulars.
01:22:43.000 Yeah, it's along with the media.
01:22:44.000 I mean, right, whether how much Biden is doing the self, it's certainly the establishment that's running DC right now is, you know, the back of the woke politics, the woke, you know, stuff in school, critical race theory, which is racism.
01:23:01.000 All of this stuff is so overwhelming now that it it's intended to overwhelm you it's intended to make you lose hope it's intended to make you give up and just accept it we're living through a cultural revolution so yes culture so so all that stuff is still downstream from from culture but the difference is culture is now hyper powered with technology that it's never seen before china is doing a good job of mastering it or at least riding the
01:23:30.000 Riding the Fenris Wolf, you know, and not having it eat him.
01:23:34.000 Boy, that's that's probably my dorkiest reference for the evening.
01:23:38.000 I think a lot about deepfakes because we're coming up on neural net and deepfakes and like when we see a deepfake video of a guy getting his head cut off by a deepfake ISIS guy and a deepfake American and we think it's real and it might be a real fake person's face on and then the country goes to war because of some deepfaked False flag.
01:23:57.000 Running Man.
01:23:59.000 The map where they map the guy and they kill Arnold Schwarzenegger.
01:24:04.000 They map Arnold's face on somebody else.
01:24:08.000 That's with deepfakes.
01:24:10.000 And you know who's most scared of it?
01:24:12.000 Politicians.
01:24:13.000 Because they're afraid for the late hit where it shows Politician X or Substance X within a porno.
01:24:21.000 Yeah.
01:24:22.000 Uh, someone tried making, like, I remember there's a viral video of, like, the pee tape.
01:24:26.000 And they're like, it was clearly staged and faked with an awkward camera angle.
01:24:30.000 But it's not even necessarily deepfakes.
01:24:32.000 It's when, you know how they do the, the, um, what is it called when they make the, uh, oh, that is a deepfake, I guess.
01:24:38.000 When they just make a fake person.
01:24:40.000 The face doesn't exist.
01:24:40.000 It's not a real person.
01:24:42.000 It's like, oh, yeah.
01:24:43.000 Yeah, so it's not like they'll take Ian's face and put it on your body.
01:24:46.000 It's like they literally will artificially generate a face that is of no person that's real.
01:24:50.000 Yeah, we got the sites that now create, just build your own avatar.
01:24:54.000 Do you guys remember when they made the Joe Rogan simulator?
01:24:57.000 Where you could type in words and then it was Joe Rogan saying them?
01:25:00.000 Oh, nice.
01:25:01.000 And it was near perfect.
01:25:02.000 Yeah.
01:25:03.000 And they ended up taking it down, I guess.
01:25:05.000 Joe's like, it's a little too much.
01:25:07.000 I don't know if Joe came out against it, but like, they can do that to anyone.
01:25:10.000 They took it down?
01:25:11.000 Yeah, the guys who made it.
01:25:12.000 It was too creepy or something?
01:25:14.000 They were making videos of Joe saying crazy stuff to prove a point.
01:25:16.000 And it's like, that's messed up, dude.
01:25:21.000 Somebody posted a video just this week where it was from Canada and it was a woman saying that ISIS are brothers.
01:25:32.000 And I raise question because it didn't lip-sync out.
01:25:36.000 And I still don't know, I haven't seen it where it becomes proof that it was phony, so maybe it's legit, but it didn't look, if you watch the video, very clearly she's enunciating every syllable correctly and she gets to brothers and there's like a little blip and then it doesn't look right and i'm thinking is this phony so i mean i i even tweeted people and i saw several people raising the question
01:26:03.000 Why haven't we seen more of this?
01:26:04.000 Like, why haven't we seen, you know, AOC or Trump or Biden or Harris?
01:26:08.000 Oh, it is coming.
01:26:09.000 Yeah, he's right.
01:26:10.000 It's coming.
01:26:11.000 Well, yeah, I mean, imagine what Iran or Russia could do.
01:26:14.000 Putting out a video of Biden, and it's just like deep faked in audio, and it's Biden saying something.
01:26:21.000 And they wouldn't make it crazy, like him saying something, like Rachel Slurry would be him saying something like, Yeah, well, what was I supposed to do about these Marines anyway?
01:26:28.000 You know what?
01:26:29.000 We got more.
01:26:30.000 Or, or, you know, literally saying, F them.
01:26:32.000 Yeah, just, you know, from, from a little, oh, here's a, here's a tape because, but the deep states, you can't just do that because it's, it's too, people be like, F them.
01:26:40.000 Like, there's no way Biden would say that.
01:26:41.000 His son died of cancer and served.
01:26:43.000 But he, you know, I mean, I think a lot of politicians would say that.
01:26:45.000 People, yeah, people, people would believe it.
01:26:48.000 But I think if we saw a PSYOP, it wouldn't be that direct.
01:26:52.000 It would be something like, yeah, well, we're sad to lose them, but we got more.
01:26:55.000 Well, remember, we're living in the PSYOP.
01:26:59.000 And I don't mean like some sort of phony artificial thing.
01:27:02.000 The whole goal of foreign governments is to put us against each other.
01:27:09.000 And we're living that every day.
01:27:09.000 Yeah.
01:27:11.000 And I mean, the us-them thing, we live the us-them thing.
01:27:14.000 And I'm probably, you know, a good part of that, you know, fighting that.
01:27:18.000 But if you look every single major issue now that's fought on Twitter, you run into the bot armies.
01:27:25.000 And the bot armies make it look like, oh, there's a lot of support for this thing.
01:27:31.000 Well, they're not necessarily bots, they're sock puppets.
01:27:34.000 Yeah, sock puppets, but phony accounts or small accounts.
01:27:39.000 That's why you don't read replies.
01:27:40.000 Don't read comments.
01:27:42.000 I mean, I look for real people.
01:27:44.000 It's one guy.
01:27:45.000 Like, when you read your comments, and you have like 10 comments where they're like, you're ugly, you're fat, you're a loser, it's one guy doing it.
01:27:50.000 It's God speaking to you through whatever.
01:27:53.000 What's funny is when you delete the one, and another one just picks up right where the one left off.
01:27:58.000 Like, of course, it's the same person.
01:27:59.000 They think you don't...
01:28:01.000 Or when they accidentally use their socks without realizing it.
01:28:04.000 I forgot to switch their account.
01:28:06.000 Oh, another zero follower June 2021 account.
01:28:10.000 But nevertheless, politicians and business people don't understand this.
01:28:14.000 Flat out don't.
01:28:15.000 So when Tennessee went to constitutional carry for guns, God bless them, I saw some people responding to the governor saying oh thank you very much this is you know this is great we want next thing the parade of the accounts and you could tell some people who were on there didn't get what was happening and that's truly unsophisticated i mean that's that's you know garbage entry-level you know uh political maneuvering
01:28:45.000 The Democrats have a couple bot armies or sock account armies.
01:28:50.000 Russia has at least one or two.
01:28:52.000 China has one.
01:28:53.000 Iran doesn't, shockingly.
01:28:56.000 And they don't even understand you can block people.
01:28:59.000 So they're very unsophisticated.
01:29:00.000 But we've now discovered the Taliban is so sophisticated that even the media are speculating that they've hired a PR firm.
01:29:10.000 So this affects our politics every single day and it's designed from foreign governments and even people in our country to pit us against one another.
01:29:24.000 Let's go to Super Chats!
01:29:25.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and check out the Cast Castle because we have started ramping up production.
01:29:33.000 We're getting almost daily vlogs out right now.
01:29:36.000 And if you want to see the inner workings of what's happening here at the studio, it's a whole lot of just, I don't know, people are skating.
01:29:42.000 We had a fog machine.
01:29:43.000 You got a really cool, cool facility here.
01:29:46.000 And we started this show, the Cask Castle Vlog, earlier this year, and now we've ramped up production, so we're getting to the groove, figuring things out.
01:29:46.000 You really do.
01:29:53.000 The other day I went down into the green room where we invite our guests, and it was full of smoke from the smoke machine, and our guest Daniel Turner is sitting there in a shroud of fog, and I'm like, what are these people doing in my house?
01:30:06.000 And they're so cool, and I'm like, guys, and they're like, oh.
01:30:09.000 I'm like, get a fan!
01:30:10.000 What are you doing?
01:30:10.000 We have people coming in the house!
01:30:12.000 But it's funny.
01:30:13.000 Always an adventure.
01:30:14.000 So, youtube.com slash castcastle.
01:30:15.000 Let's read some superchats.
01:30:16.000 Smash that like button for Ian.
01:30:19.000 If you smash that like button today, a sad Ian will be brightened by your contribution of one like.
01:30:26.000 Thank you.
01:30:26.000 It's true.
01:30:27.000 I'm with Ian.
01:30:28.000 Smash it for me.
01:30:30.000 Smash it for me so that you bring me back because this place is cool and I actually don't live all that far away.
01:30:35.000 A sad old man.
01:30:39.000 Smash it for the creepy old guy who's hanging out with people half his age on Friday night.
01:30:45.000 The magic user.
01:30:46.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:30:47.000 How old are you?
01:30:48.000 Old.
01:30:49.000 You don't want to say?
01:30:50.000 I don't want to say.
01:30:51.000 Because I don't think Ian's old.
01:30:53.000 Ian's 50. 40.
01:30:53.000 I'm older.
01:30:55.000 Almost.
01:30:56.000 I'm almost.
01:30:57.000 I'm OG.
01:30:58.000 You were quick to be like 40.
01:30:59.000 Let's just go for OG and stick there.
01:31:02.000 I'm 73!
01:31:03.000 Let's read some of these superchats.
01:31:06.000 Harryto says, no Luke, we nuke.
01:31:09.000 No Rutkowski, we pukowski.
01:31:11.000 I saw that a couple days ago.
01:31:14.000 If people aren't going to be sending loving messages to Luke every day to let him know, I mean, why would he come back?
01:31:20.000 And the new studio is around the corner, so we're going to have it much easier to accommodate more people, and that's going to be a whole lot of fun.
01:31:25.000 I'm so excited.
01:31:27.000 We just ordered a whole bunch of these LED light bars, so the whole top of the room is going to be lined by these LED bars, and then there's going to be a halo above the table, so lighting will be perfectly balanced.
01:31:38.000 I'm surprised you didn't go for the circular table, though.
01:31:41.000 Yeah, to do the whole Knights of the Round Table thing.
01:31:44.000 That'd be too difficult.
01:31:45.000 You'd be sitting next to someone like two feet from you to try and talk to them, you know?
01:31:49.000 So we can accommodate I think up to eight people now.
01:31:52.000 Not that we'll do it because that would be a cacophony of voices.
01:31:55.000 It'd be like Twitter.
01:31:59.000 It's already hard enough with four or five people.
01:32:00.000 Leave one seat just for bots.
01:32:02.000 Yeah, seriously.
01:32:04.000 We can get a Biden bot.
01:32:05.000 Just randomly say, come on, man!
01:32:06.000 Get that 360 camera on one of the seats so that you can watch as if you're there.
01:32:11.000 We could do that.
01:32:11.000 That'd be cool.
01:32:12.000 You could steal the animatronic Joe Biden because it really looks exactly like Joe Biden and talks exactly like Joe Biden because he's animatronic.
01:32:19.000 I want that thing.
01:32:20.000 All right.
01:32:21.000 It's me saying it's Tom McDonald Friday.
01:32:21.000 Let's read some more.
01:32:23.000 Dummies is out.
01:32:24.000 Yeah.
01:32:25.000 Wow.
01:32:26.000 There's, there's so many excellent lines in Tom Macdonald music that I'm just like.
01:32:31.000 He's a philosopher, man.
01:32:31.000 I like it.
01:32:33.000 I like listening to him.
01:32:34.000 Dummies is good.
01:32:34.000 Yeah.
01:32:35.000 I haven't memorized the lyrics, but I remember sitting there being like, there's, he's got it.
01:32:38.000 Like there's lines in that.
01:32:39.000 You should check out Dummies, man.
01:32:40.000 Tom Macdonald kills it, dude.
01:32:42.000 Yes.
01:32:43.000 All right.
01:32:44.000 Let's see what we got here.
01:32:46.000 Control Alt Delete says, I love Papa Joe.
01:32:48.000 Take your sum and go back to sleep, sheeple.
01:32:50.000 We are living in the times between 84 and Brave New World.
01:32:54.000 Yeah.
01:32:56.000 But at least Brave New World was a satire.
01:32:58.000 Yeah, we're living in the real version.
01:33:00.000 Yeah, I like it.
01:33:01.000 Interesting.
01:33:01.000 Chris says, couldn't find stream today.
01:33:03.000 Had to come to channel directly to find it.
01:33:05.000 Normally it's on my homepage.
01:33:06.000 Figured y'all should know, I watch every night.
01:33:08.000 Me too.
01:33:09.000 Chris, thank you for seeking out the show.
01:33:11.000 I will say that we were having weird hiccups where the show was cutting out and our internet's perfect.
01:33:17.000 And the only other time this has happened has been when we talked about China and censorship.
01:33:23.000 Yep.
01:33:24.000 So I wonder if they don't like you.
01:33:26.000 That would shock me so much.
01:33:30.000 Let's see, I support free speech.
01:33:32.000 I spent all my days fighting idiots who want to censor stuff.
01:33:35.000 Yeah, I'd be totally stunned.
01:33:37.000 Austin Schaefer with a very intelligent point that I didn't even consider.
01:33:42.000 Tim, one thing I assume you mean we have to possibly be ready for, a forced vaccine coming from insurance companies for health insurance easily could be rejected on rates raised for health or life insurance if you do not have the vaccine.
01:33:56.000 Yeah.
01:33:56.000 Or what if they say access to, you know, Medicare and Medicaid, you have to be up to date with all of your shots.
01:34:01.000 Well, they could simply say if you're going to get any government program.
01:34:06.000 Oh yeah, easy.
01:34:07.000 Easy.
01:34:07.000 Yep.
01:34:08.000 I mean, is that wrong?
01:34:10.000 Yes.
01:34:11.000 So it's the question of, if we're going to be paying you to take care of your medical ailments, like we as a community, but you aren't taking care of yourself, why should we pay for it?
01:34:24.000 Well, so then where do you draw the line?
01:34:26.000 Okay, you're too fat.
01:34:28.000 OK, so you've got to lose 20 pounds.
01:34:30.000 Oh, wait, you're now, hey, your skateboard activities, they're risky.
01:34:36.000 You're going to hurt yourself.
01:34:37.000 So you've got to stop that.
01:34:39.000 Let's see.
01:34:40.000 You drive too much.
01:34:41.000 You drive too fast.
01:34:42.000 You got it.
01:34:42.000 We got a speeding ticket.
01:34:43.000 So we're going to take that.
01:34:44.000 I mean, this is a genuine Twilight Zone episode.
01:34:48.000 Where the guy wanted to, I think he wanted to lose weight and then they went after his cigarettes and, you know, it's like, or vice versa.
01:34:54.000 I can't remember which one it was.
01:34:55.000 But I mean, this is, they can, by that rationale, they can control everything you do.
01:35:01.000 These doctors who say, oh, well, I'm not going to treat COVID patients who don't have the vaccine.
01:35:05.000 Well, are you treating fat people?
01:35:07.000 Are you treating, you know, people who don't take care of themselves in any other way?
01:35:14.000 That was my observation, too, but I would make it the more analogous comparison between something like an STD, which you can spread to other people.
01:35:21.000 Yeah, AIDS!
01:35:22.000 The 100% perfect comparison is AIDS, you know, where it was, oh, you have to be compassionate.
01:35:26.000 People are still living their lives.
01:35:28.000 Well, then, you know, the very people who said you've got to be compassionate now want to say, oh, you know, I want to destroy you, want to destroy your life.
01:35:36.000 You know, I don't like the idea of forcing people to do something.
01:35:40.000 I've said this before.
01:35:41.000 I've got the vaccine.
01:35:42.000 I'm sure some people who are listening right now are freaked out or annoyed by that.
01:35:45.000 It gave me 100% access to seeing my dad.
01:35:49.000 My dad's in long-term care.
01:35:51.000 And when you get the vaccine, you know, the facility that he's in, a lot of people died from COVID.
01:35:56.000 My father actually had COVID and somehow beat it, even at 92.
01:36:00.000 But when you've got the vaccine, I can get in to see him.
01:36:05.000 And so, you know, That's a risk I'll take any day.
01:36:09.000 Do you mean based on regulations or do you mean based on safety?
01:36:12.000 Based on safety at that facility because they had so many problems.
01:36:16.000 All the facilities have had to rein things in because there's been so many seniors who were killed.
01:36:20.000 You get one COVID case in a facility, you know, these are the people who've got comorbidities and they're old and they're the most likely to have the problem.
01:36:28.000 And that's where, you know, Cuomo killed all those people.
01:36:31.000 I mean, these are the people at risk.
01:36:33.000 Now one of the reasons why they want Cuomo to go away is there were four other Democratic governors who did the same
01:36:38.000 thing.
01:36:38.000 And you don't see that story anywhere.
01:36:40.000 So, but that said, I think the entirely rational approach is simply, okay, I chose my own health care.
01:36:48.000 Don't force me to choose my own health care.
01:36:54.000 And that's dictatorship.
01:36:56.000 Well, I mean, forcing you to choose your own health care is like, you better pick what you want to do or else... No, you better pick what we want you to do.
01:37:02.000 That's what the left does all the time.
01:37:04.000 Oh, what's the family that's got all the kids?
01:37:10.000 Oh, the Duggars?
01:37:11.000 The Duggars.
01:37:12.000 Okay, so the left will say, We believe that, you know, women's right to choose.
01:37:19.000 Oh, women's right to choose.
01:37:20.000 So, but then somebody goes and has a bunch of kids.
01:37:23.000 They freak out.
01:37:24.000 It's like, well, you chose poorly.
01:37:26.000 Yeah.
01:37:26.000 So we don't approve.
01:37:27.000 Well, you ever see the South Park episode where they're having the election between a giant douche and a turd sandwich?
01:37:33.000 And then I think it's like Stan says, I don't care about voting and they'll get mad at him.
01:37:37.000 And then finally he's like, you know what?
01:37:39.000 OK, I'm going to vote.
01:37:40.000 And Kyle is all like, yes, vote for my guy.
01:37:42.000 And then he sees that Stan voted for the other guy.
01:37:44.000 He's like, wait, what are you doing?
01:37:45.000 No, no, no, don't vote for them.
01:37:46.000 What are you doing?
01:37:46.000 You're voting for the wrong person.
01:37:47.000 Yeah, they want you to vote when you vote for their guy.
01:37:51.000 It's one of the things that's gone viral repeatedly is the Seinfeld episode where Kramer goes and does the AIDS mock and he doesn't want to wear the button.
01:38:05.000 Doesn't want to wear the AIDS flag and they beat him up.
01:38:10.000 It's like, okay, wait a second.
01:38:12.000 I'm walking.
01:38:12.000 He clearly cared about the issue, but no, they were like, wear it.
01:38:16.000 He's like, no, he's America.
01:38:18.000 I don't have to do it.
01:38:19.000 And that's, and that's the thing.
01:38:21.000 The more they push any, and it doesn't matter what the issue is.
01:38:24.000 It doesn't matter whether it's COVID or censorship or anything.
01:38:27.000 The more government media business coordinate.
01:38:33.000 And say, this is what you must do.
01:38:37.000 The more there's a good chunk of the population that says, well, then that's, of course, not the thing I want to do.
01:38:42.000 Especially against resistance that's already formed.
01:38:45.000 If there was no resistance and it was an obvious problem, most people I think could get down with self-mandation.
01:38:52.000 I bring this up, if people were falling down on the street, stumbling over and bleeding out of their face from this thing, I would not have a problem with the government being like, look, we're not going to take a 60% of our population die to this thing.
01:39:04.000 Well, I mean, that was smallpox back in the day.
01:39:06.000 Smallpox had a really, really high death rate.
01:39:10.000 Like 20% or something, wasn't it?
01:39:11.000 I don't remember.
01:39:12.000 But it was massive, much, much worse than anything we can even comprehend.
01:39:17.000 Let's read some more superchats.
01:39:19.000 We got a couple people saying that we're being censored.
01:39:21.000 Coldylocks Production says, your stream no longer shows up on my front page recommendations, and it now continues to freeze when I have full bars of cellular data.
01:39:28.000 Totally not suspicious, is it?
01:39:30.000 And we also have full bars on our end, so this is an internal YouTube problem.
01:39:35.000 This is interesting.
01:39:35.000 Yeah.
01:39:36.000 Elizabeth Carmella, comedian, says, Hey guys, I don't know if you guys ever used to watch that show House.
01:39:41.000 House is awesome.
01:39:42.000 With Hugh Laurie.
01:39:44.000 He used Ivermectin many times in that show to treat his crazy cases.
01:39:48.000 When I first heard the news talking about it, I already knew what it was because of that show.
01:39:52.000 Interesting.
01:39:52.000 I'll check that out.
01:39:54.000 I wonder if they'll take those episodes down.
01:39:56.000 Or wonder if they already have.
01:39:57.000 Yeah, I'm curious now.
01:39:58.000 UltraSquash says, Hey Tim, been watching since I was 13.
01:40:02.000 17 now.
01:40:02.000 Thanks.
01:40:03.000 Wow.
01:40:05.000 You gotta inspire children, you know, to be better people.
01:40:09.000 And that's the goal, right?
01:40:10.000 That's one of the reasons why we're doing the vlog, because we don't want to be overly political.
01:40:13.000 We don't want to be overly negative.
01:40:14.000 We want to put resources into doing things that are fun and exciting and inspirational and positive, you know, and we want people to respect freedom and individuality, so.
01:40:24.000 I was gonna say, I got the leap on this because I've followed you for 10 years.
01:40:28.000 Because I go all the way back to Occupy days.
01:40:31.000 Wow.
01:40:32.000 Which is 10th anniversary coming up next month.
01:40:34.000 That's right.
01:40:35.000 Yeah.
01:40:35.000 17th.
01:40:35.000 That's right.
01:40:37.000 All right.
01:40:38.000 Jay says, do you have any recommendations for new people to learn Linux programming?
01:40:38.000 Let's see.
01:40:42.000 I'm looking into a career change.
01:40:43.000 I want to try this.
01:40:44.000 Oh, you want to learn to code?
01:40:47.000 But if you post that on YouTube, we can get banned.
01:40:51.000 I don't, I am not, I'm not a coder.
01:40:54.000 I don't know.
01:40:55.000 I don't know.
01:40:55.000 That's the short answer.
01:40:56.000 I wish I could give you some advice.
01:40:57.000 Um, I think you can like go online and get videos of the programming and then just follow along with it on another monitor.
01:41:04.000 If you have an extra monitor and then just do the things as they say, step-by-step and you'll learn the process.
01:41:09.000 But languages are like a big database of information that you'll need to memorize over time.
01:41:13.000 But the more you enter the stuff, the faster you learn it.
01:41:15.000 There are lots of sites that do things like classes for painting and, you know, calligraphy.
01:41:20.000 And I imagine that at least one of them would have some kind of coding.
01:41:23.000 And I bet some of the posters right now who are responding are responding to him and saying, oh, here's where you go.
01:41:23.000 100%.
01:41:30.000 The lead developer of mine's learned that way.
01:41:32.000 Mark Harding.
01:41:32.000 Perfect.
01:41:33.000 Watched videos and taught himself.
01:41:35.000 All right.
01:41:36.000 Secantia says, Hey there, Tim.
01:41:37.000 Have you heard of a little shop called Five-O Skate Shop?
01:41:40.000 A certain operator named after a round breakfast pastry.
01:41:44.000 Also, have you ever watched the Clone Wars Rebels or Bad Batch?
01:41:46.000 Loving the members only segments.
01:41:48.000 I have not watched any of those shows and I don't know the skate shop.
01:41:50.000 Sorry.
01:41:52.000 David Fry with the $1 Super Chat.
01:41:53.000 Thank you so much for your support.
01:41:55.000 All the Super Chats, we love them.
01:41:57.000 X asks, so, did you sue the fact checkers on Facebook?
01:42:00.000 So, when, for me, in my case, I didn't actually post the thing that was checked.
01:42:06.000 And so, the challenge is, it was someone screenshotting a tweet of mine, but it wasn't content that was of mine, it wasn't negatively impacting a page, so there's no damages.
01:42:15.000 It's just them lying.
01:42:16.000 And so the challenge with defamation cases, you gotta prove damages.
01:42:19.000 Well, and also you've got to have an army of lawyers.
01:42:22.000 I mean, Facebook can, you know, rain money like they're going to a strip club.
01:42:27.000 And you've got to be able to pay up for that.
01:42:29.000 And it's hard to do.
01:42:31.000 It really is.
01:42:33.000 Oh, this is important.
01:42:33.000 Little Tails Farm says, Tim, our chickens hatch tomorrow and we will be filming it on our YouTube channel for everyone to see.
01:42:40.000 Also, we bought a huge mini house shed converting into our version of Chicken City.
01:42:46.000 Love the show.
01:42:46.000 Nice.
01:42:47.000 We have probably the worst possible time to be doing this.
01:42:52.000 Well, actually, I mean, maybe Little Tails.
01:42:54.000 I don't know.
01:42:54.000 You know better than I do.
01:42:55.000 We have 12 eggs in the incubator now, and they're going to hatch in about a week, just shy of two weeks.
01:43:01.000 They're not going to be able to go outside.
01:43:02.000 It's going to be cold, you know, so we're going to have to keep them inside or build something for them, I guess.
01:43:07.000 We have three babies right now.
01:43:08.000 They're two weeks old officially, and so they're running around and they're doing chicken stuff.
01:43:13.000 They're a big house.
01:43:15.000 Yeah, we got like a we just had to.
01:43:17.000 So they were in the brooder box for a little while.
01:43:18.000 Now they're getting too big and they're getting cramped.
01:43:21.000 So now we set up an even bigger space.
01:43:24.000 You know, it's like a guinea pig playpen area thing or whatever.
01:43:27.000 It's like a cage.
01:43:29.000 And so now they can run around and do their chicken thing and they just they poop where they walk and then they try to eat it.
01:43:33.000 It's awful.
01:43:36.000 Did you see Chris playing with the wand on the vlog?
01:43:38.000 Yeah.
01:43:38.000 And they didn't want to go back in the cage.
01:43:39.000 They try to jump out.
01:43:41.000 You put your hand in, they'll jump on your hand, and then they'll try and climb up your arm.
01:43:41.000 Yeah.
01:43:45.000 Well, because they want to get out.
01:43:46.000 They want to run around and do chicken stuff.
01:43:48.000 We should make like a big area for them to play in if we can.
01:43:48.000 You know what I mean?
01:43:52.000 Well, right now they're really small.
01:43:53.000 They don't need that big of an area.
01:43:55.000 I bet they would love it.
01:43:56.000 But the previous chicken family, you know, for Chicken City, they have the whole farm area and they roll around in the dirt all day.
01:44:02.000 And it's really funny.
01:44:03.000 Just make sure you protect them from aerial attack.
01:44:06.000 Yes.
01:44:07.000 My niece has chickens and they noticed a couple chickens disappeared and then they realized they had a hawk in the neighborhood and then they had to build a roof on their... We have a roof.
01:44:18.000 Yeah, the whole area because the chickens were going out and...
01:44:21.000 Yeah, we have a roof on one part of it right now.
01:44:23.000 The actual coop is sealed.
01:44:25.000 But I mean, when they go out, they were getting hawked.
01:44:29.000 It was like Hawk the Slayer for another movie reference for people who don't remember.
01:44:32.000 I don't want to wait around and then one day be like, one of them got one of the chickens.
01:44:36.000 I wonder if we can.
01:44:38.000 Yeah, because they all have names.
01:44:39.000 We named them all.
01:44:40.000 Well, then you definitely got to deal with that.
01:44:42.000 I had a hawk in my neighborhood.
01:44:43.000 I live in suburbia.
01:44:44.000 I had a hawk in my neighborhood.
01:44:46.000 And then when it went away, The dynamic of birds, the birds overbred in my area and went kind of nuts.
01:44:53.000 Interesting.
01:44:53.000 And I was like, I wanted the hawk to come back because the birds were like flying into my house windows and stuff like that for a little while.
01:44:59.000 Come on.
01:45:00.000 All right, this is great.
01:45:01.000 Steven Heinold says, Tim, why do you always mention Dubuque, Iowa in your analogies?
01:45:06.000 Did something nefarious happen to you there?
01:45:08.000 And you're dropping hints for us to solve your secret like a large Timcast Easter egg?
01:45:12.000 It's true.
01:45:13.000 Buried.
01:45:14.000 Did you post, hang a flag up in Dubuque and we're waiting for everybody on the internet to figure out where it is?
01:45:22.000 It's because Dubuque is the perfect not big city city.
01:45:25.000 So random.
01:45:26.000 So it's like, you know, if you said like, oh, in New York, something happened.
01:45:30.000 When you want to mention like middle America, like Dubuque, Iowa, man.
01:45:30.000 It's like, no, no, no.
01:45:35.000 I'm looking it up right now.
01:45:36.000 I guess you could say Omaha.
01:45:38.000 I've been to Omaha before.
01:45:39.000 It's awesome.
01:45:39.000 There's a lot of corn.
01:45:41.000 There you go.
01:45:41.000 Population's 57,800.
01:45:42.000 That's what I'm saying.
01:45:42.000 Salute.
01:45:44.000 It's a perfect little middle American town.
01:45:46.000 Kind of my hometown.
01:45:46.000 Nobody gets the salute reference, everybody.
01:45:48.000 Nobody watch Hee Haw.
01:45:49.000 Nope.
01:45:50.000 It's too lost.
01:45:52.000 Jordan says, Tim, the point Dorsey is making is valid.
01:45:55.000 Yes, it's censorship, but at the same time, it can be dangerous for millions of people using social media to organize against the government.
01:46:01.000 It is a threat, and he just called it out.
01:46:03.000 What was that in reference to?
01:46:04.000 Dorsey called what out?
01:46:06.000 Is this what his Anatomy of the State post?
01:46:10.000 I mean, his post was, my assumption was it was informing people of Rothbard's writing.
01:46:16.000 Definitely.
01:46:16.000 Which is calling the state parasitic.
01:46:17.000 It was like he was calling for help from inside the machine.
01:46:20.000 That's what I thought it was.
01:46:22.000 It's like you're looking at the screen and his hand is reaching out.
01:46:24.000 I'm still here!
01:46:25.000 I'm still Jack!
01:46:27.000 Help me!
01:46:28.000 But there is a huge gap between organizing it's a state and causing an actual insurrection, sort of like, you know, Portland, as opposed to posting stuff about COVID where Twitter disagrees with you.
01:46:44.000 That's kind of a significant difference.
01:46:46.000 Yeah, I want to upgrade the United States, but sometimes that means twisting aspects of it that I'm afraid that if it gets too much censorship, that we won't even be able to discuss the things that we need to fix.
01:46:57.000 Well, that's one billion percent the point.
01:47:00.000 If we can't even talk about the problems, if we can't even... The whole definition of the scientific freaking method is you come up with something and then other people get to challenge it in the normal society.
01:47:13.000 Otherwise, what you've got is the Vatican from Copernicus's day.
01:47:18.000 Oh, wait, you came up with science.
01:47:20.000 Sorry.
01:47:21.000 We have faith.
01:47:22.000 And that's what this is.
01:47:23.000 This is the people on Twitter.
01:47:25.000 They've turned science into faith.
01:47:29.000 Scientism.
01:47:30.000 You know, and you get the Washington Post.
01:47:32.000 I love this.
01:47:33.000 We did a study about the Washington Post.
01:47:35.000 Washington Post is all the time.
01:47:36.000 Oh, well, you guys are not, you know, focusing on the science.
01:47:40.000 Washington Post last year devoted, by our calculation, 45 full, the equivalent of 45 full pages to, drumroll please, Astrology!
01:47:52.000 Okay, so the science-y people are devoting the equivalent size of an entire daily newspaper, big daily newspaper in the nation's capital, to astrology, which is bogus, and then turning around and calling people out for daring to disagree with Fauci and such.
01:48:11.000 Yikes.
01:48:12.000 All right, Alex Aitken says, watch the video by Marine LTC Stuart Scheller.
01:48:17.000 He talks about how people at the top need to be held accountable like the people at the bottom are.
01:48:21.000 His video will end his 17-year career.
01:48:23.000 Wow.
01:48:24.000 Stuart Scheller.
01:48:24.000 What is that?
01:48:26.000 S-C-H-E-L-L-E-R.
01:48:27.000 I'll check it out for sure.
01:48:28.000 Good for him.
01:48:29.000 Yeah, definitely.
01:48:31.000 We have a great super chat, but the message was retracted.
01:48:33.000 Oh, no.
01:48:34.000 Well, thank you anyway.
01:48:36.000 Horace Seymour also mentioning Marine Lieutenant Colonel Stu Scheller, who was relieved of command in Afghanistan for speaking out about the Pentagon lack of planning.
01:48:45.000 Wow.
01:48:45.000 Bravo to him.
01:48:46.000 Wow.
01:48:48.000 All right, let's see.
01:48:51.000 Stephen says, I wouldn't be surprised if the Taliban sold the list of Americans Biden gave to them and ISIS got to the checkpoint with one of the names.
01:48:58.000 Oh, wow.
01:48:59.000 Yeah.
01:48:59.000 Well, yeah, you're expecting the the terrorist to be honorable, even if they don't all like ISIS because they're, you know, ISIS.
01:49:07.000 Now ISIS-K, which, by the way, is just like, you know, some sort of made up term that we're supposed to focus on.
01:49:12.000 It stands for the Islamic State Khorasan, which is an ancient area of Afghanistan.
01:49:17.000 But I mean, so.
01:49:18.000 So, yes, there's been conflict between ISIS and Taliban.
01:49:21.000 But are we supposed to trust that everybody got access to that list is, oh, an honorable terrorist?
01:49:27.000 Sure, no doubt.
01:49:29.000 All right.
01:49:30.000 Alex Kelman says, been watching since March 2020.
01:49:30.000 Let's see.
01:49:33.000 Also, TimCast.com member.
01:49:34.000 First Super Chat.
01:49:36.000 Walt Disney World is requiring all cast members employees to get the jab by Halloween or be terminated.
01:49:41.000 76,000 people in Florida.
01:49:42.000 Wow.
01:49:44.000 Terminated?
01:49:45.000 Boy, that's just not the wording I would have used if I was Disney.
01:49:48.000 The mass resignation, the great resignation they're calling it, it's going to be absolutely exacerbated by the police now in Chicago are saying, if you push this mandate, we're not going to show up for work.
01:50:01.000 It's on you.
01:50:02.000 So many people are going to just be like, nope.
01:50:04.000 I was going to say, the truckers are the real... The truckers have said, you're going to mess with us when we show up with goods.
01:50:14.000 If you're going to say, Oh, you don't have, you know, you don't have the VACs.
01:50:16.000 We're not going to let you in or something like that.
01:50:18.000 You're going to give us a hard time.
01:50:19.000 Truckers said they're going to walk.
01:50:21.000 I said, good luck cities.
01:50:23.000 A number said that within a year you will see like 500,000 more resignations, 5 million more resignations.
01:50:28.000 I don't know, but it said that of the current workforce.
01:50:32.000 And then they specified the work, the workforce is employed and people looking for employment.
01:50:38.000 Those people are considered in the workforce, even though they don't have a job.
01:50:41.000 That's insane to me, but that's how you calculate, but they could be considered unemployed.
01:50:44.000 But they're part of the workforce because they're actively looking.
01:50:48.000 It's backwards.
01:50:51.000 You're right to bring it up, but what this means is, when we are like, the unemployment rate is currently at 8%, they're not including people who have given up.
01:51:00.000 So if you're like, I can't get a job.
01:51:02.000 I quit.
01:51:02.000 I'm going to go live in the dirt.
01:51:03.000 They don't consider you unemployed.
01:51:04.000 Right.
01:51:05.000 What?
01:51:06.000 These numbers are twisted.
01:51:06.000 Yeah.
01:51:06.000 Yeah.
01:51:07.000 Yes.
01:51:08.000 All numbers are twisted.
01:51:09.000 All numbers, government numbers are twisted.
01:51:12.000 But I mean, that you remind me.
01:51:13.000 Haven't you read The Anatomy of a State?
01:51:15.000 No, I haven't.
01:51:16.000 The State is a Parasite.
01:51:17.000 I heard that I should read it though.
01:51:18.000 You reminded me why I like where I work because we do not have a vaccine mandate.
01:51:22.000 And you know, and I can say, you know, I want everyone to understand this.
01:51:28.000 If you as a business require people to get the vaccine, your employees, you are legally responsible for any adverse reaction.
01:51:36.000 Now, I personally think the vaccine is safe, but I don't think people should be being mandated And there's, I've mentioned this before, there's like a scaling issue with trying to be more libertarian, like respecting a small business and what their choices are if it's an individual, but it's difficult when you scale up.
01:51:49.000 The point is, if you work for a company, you know, I'll tell people a few things to ease your mind.
01:51:54.000 Simply draft out a letter saying that, you know, ask your employer, if they mandate it, say, just, you know, sign this and I'll gladly go to the doctor.
01:52:02.000 And make them sign a document saying we will claim full responsibility for all, you know, medical issues that arise following this, you know, treatment or whatever.
01:52:12.000 See what your boss tells you.
01:52:14.000 I think a lot of them will tell you, no, we're not signing it.
01:52:17.000 But I think it's the CDC that actually says they're liable no matter what if they mandate it.
01:52:23.000 No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's OSHA.
01:52:26.000 OSHA said that if your job mandates it, they are responsible because it's considered a requirement for work.
01:52:33.000 So if your job requires you to wear a safety harness as you climb and the safety harness breaks, it's their fault.
01:52:40.000 They're responsible for that because they made you do it.
01:52:42.000 Same thing is true here. So I think a lot of these businesses don't realize that and when it comes to like,
01:52:47.000 you know Your company saying you don't mandate it. We don't mandate
01:52:49.000 it here because I will not assume liability for people's health choices
01:52:52.000 That's entirely on them. Not me and we are pro freedom. I'm very pro freedom. Yeah, that's right
01:52:59.000 All right. Let's see we got here Ben Macklin says satire site the duffle blog hit the nail
01:53:05.000 on the head with their headline quote General Millie regrets not including Vietnam War history
01:53:10.000 book on reading list Indeed.
01:53:13.000 The Ibram Kendi reference.
01:53:14.000 That's a real good thing.
01:53:16.000 The Duffle Blog is only second to Babylon D for real cool stuff.
01:53:22.000 Babylon B is prophetic, man.
01:53:23.000 It's kind of scary.
01:53:24.000 You can look back in time and see their articles actually come true.
01:53:27.000 They keep a list of how many times.
01:53:30.000 My still favorite is the washing machine because it got fact-checked.
01:53:32.000 It's still for all that it did was by still favors the washing machine where because it
01:53:36.000 got it got fact check.
01:53:38.000 You got to remember that.
01:53:40.000 They actually don't put their story.
01:53:43.000 See, that doesn't actually put their stories in a giant washing machine.
01:53:45.000 Eric Miller says my third time super chatting this.
01:53:50.000 Two scientists are trying to build a Star Trek-like impulse engine.
01:53:54.000 Reported on Bloomberg.
01:53:55.000 Very interesting.
01:53:58.000 All right, the Reaper Medic says CPD and CFD are united in total opposition to the Chicago Vax mandate.
01:54:03.000 Most I know are willing to walk or take leave, myself included.
01:54:07.000 Both departments are already short on manpower.
01:54:09.000 This is going to get very interesting soon.
01:54:10.000 I actually know people who work in those departments, and they have expressed... Yeah, they might just walk.
01:54:19.000 Well, I mean, Nation, the whole...
01:54:21.000 Endless war on police nationwide meant that police departments are struggling to find people because who wants to go in an era where you know the politicians won't back you and you can't police?
01:54:34.000 I know in my own county they had nine graduates from the last police academy class, the smallest in history.
01:54:41.000 Wow, that's not cool.
01:54:43.000 Kubana says, I changed my career to political sciences.
01:54:47.000 There's got to be a way to fight back.
01:54:48.000 Republicans need young blood.
01:54:51.000 I mean, and balls too.
01:54:53.000 Republicans need, uh, gumption.
01:54:57.000 Yeah.
01:54:57.000 The Republican party just like sits around and they're like, I would definitely encourage anyone to, to dispense with the word fight.
01:55:04.000 Don't use the word fight because no one wants to fight.
01:55:07.000 People don't want to fight you right now.
01:55:07.000 Yeah.
01:55:08.000 They want to create cool stuff.
01:55:10.000 And they'll like you if you make cool stuff.
01:55:12.000 Build, build, build, build.
01:55:14.000 Create.
01:55:15.000 Make.
01:55:15.000 Yeah.
01:55:16.000 Fix.
01:55:16.000 Makers.
01:55:19.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.
01:55:20.000 Uh-oh, it just jumped on me again.
01:55:23.000 YouTube always does that.
01:55:26.000 Alright, let's see.
01:55:26.000 Where were we?
01:55:27.000 Yikes.
01:55:29.000 Okay, let's see.
01:55:32.000 Joe F. says, please read me.
01:55:34.000 Rosa Kaur, please look into her videos.
01:55:36.000 She conducted presentations about 10 years ago, and what she discusses is coming to fruition over time and exponentially, oh, I'm sorry, exponentially increasing in velocity.
01:55:45.000 Green anything?
01:55:47.000 Uh, exponentially, of course, is the Biden quote.
01:55:47.000 Interesting.
01:55:49.000 He said exponentially.
01:55:51.000 I was going to, I thought it was a typo at first.
01:55:53.000 I was going to say exponentially, and then I realized what they were doing with exponentially.
01:55:57.000 And I was like, I had a really good super chat.
01:56:01.000 I can't see where it is now.
01:56:02.000 Tina Collette says, Tim, I watch Cast Castle every day.
01:56:05.000 Take this super chat and buy a hammer.
01:56:07.000 Seeing your crew use pistols, bats, and other stuff makes me crazy and yell at the TV.
01:56:11.000 That's funny.
01:56:14.000 For some reason, when I was trying to open a box, they handed me one of these throwing axes.
01:56:16.000 That was awesome.
01:56:17.000 It's like a going theme on the castle now.
01:56:17.000 Why?
01:56:20.000 People in boxes with throwing axes.
01:56:23.000 At least they didn't throw the throwing axe.
01:56:25.000 It's very chill.
01:56:26.000 I was like, does someone have a knife I can open this box with?
01:56:28.000 And I'm like, All right.
01:56:30.000 It's an axe, I guess.
01:56:32.000 Is there a future episode you're going to be, you know, on your skateboard throwing axe?
01:56:35.000 Oh, that's cool.
01:56:38.000 Jimmy Quinto says, so when are you going to have an exclusive Alex Jones interview on your website so more can flock to it?
01:56:44.000 LOL.
01:56:45.000 We may have an announcement in the next few days about something that I think will break the Internet.
01:56:51.000 Alex Jones featuring a special guest.
01:56:54.000 Oh, yes.
01:56:55.000 Alexander himself.
01:56:55.000 I'm really excited.
01:56:56.000 Alex Jones and a special guest.
01:57:00.000 And since I'm privy to this, I'm not going to say I'm not part of the usual propaganda of why you should watch, but I can just say he's right.
01:57:08.000 It really will break the freaking Internet.
01:57:10.000 It will.
01:57:11.000 It's really a cool idea.
01:57:14.000 Well, so what we're trying to do is we're trying to, we don't want to do like crossfire necessarily.
01:57:17.000 We had, you know, we had Vosh, we had Charlie and that was really fun.
01:57:20.000 We don't want to do like this very obvious like left versus right.
01:57:23.000 We want to do like people who don't make sense sitting next to each other.
01:57:25.000 Yes, this is perfect.
01:57:27.000 So, you know, that's kind of the goal moving forward.
01:57:29.000 Just to like expand and it's kind of like to bring people together from different areas.
01:57:33.000 So we really want to do like a crypto expert with, you know, someone who's overtly culture war and like to see where they come together with their ideas and like what they can, what they're concerned about.
01:57:42.000 That'll be a lot of fun.
01:57:43.000 But, uh, we're hoping to have, uh, Alex back very, very soon with a really fun guest.
01:57:48.000 I don't want to say anything, like, obviously we're talking about Alex Jones.
01:57:52.000 I don't want to say anything definitive yet because we don't have a date and we're trying to figure out, you know, if we can schedule these people properly.
01:57:57.000 Logistics.
01:57:58.000 But I think it's looking promising.
01:58:00.000 You know, uh, we've had Alex on a couple times.
01:58:02.000 We're always, we're always, uh, we always love to have him back.
01:58:04.000 So.
01:58:05.000 And you can let us know when they censor it.
01:58:07.000 Yeah, we will.
01:58:08.000 We will.
01:58:09.000 Yep.
01:58:10.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:58:11.000 Because that's, that's, I don't think that'll happen this time.
01:58:13.000 I think this is going to be a sillier conversation than anything and it'll be a lot of fun and
01:58:17.000 just you know, yeah, super chill.
01:58:19.000 Thing about the word.
01:58:20.000 Well, maybe not chill is the right word.
01:58:21.000 No, it's, there's going to be no chill in that zip code.
01:58:25.000 Zero chill.
01:58:26.000 I noticed about censorship that the act of it just by definition of the word, like if
01:58:30.000 you make a post and I look at it and I decide to let it be there, I'm censoring it.
01:58:35.000 But the censor is deciding if it is or isn't.
01:58:39.000 Just the act of deciding is the censorship.
01:58:42.000 It's not the taking down of.
01:58:43.000 So just having censors in place is like...
01:58:46.000 Yeah, having people who have the power to shut down your thought.
01:58:50.000 You might like the Minds setup right now.
01:58:52.000 It's a jury system where if something gets reported for violating terms, it goes to a random selection of users that have to vote if they think it was a violation.
01:59:00.000 And then if it is agreed upon by the jury, then it's sent.
01:59:04.000 Yes, that's better than what they set up for Facebook is basically you have the mob and you get enough mob people just click, click, click.
01:59:10.000 Then you get your post taken down.
01:59:13.000 Right.
01:59:14.000 MZ Kim says, get a dog to protect the chickens.
01:59:16.000 We actually have two dogs that are running around at all times.
01:59:19.000 And they, you know, they're peeing everywhere.
01:59:21.000 So we're pretty safe from predators.
01:59:23.000 We used to have deer that would come out, but the dogs chase them away now.
01:59:26.000 One of the dogs was super cute.
01:59:28.000 I can't, the other one was tied up so I couldn't, I didn't get to say hello.
01:59:31.000 They're the best.
01:59:31.000 Oh yeah.
01:59:32.000 Fave co-workers.
01:59:33.000 Sonny James says, Tim, I'm finding it real hard to be positive, especially seeing the quarantine facilities go up in Australia.
01:59:38.000 Any examples of history where the people fought back and won against a minority of totalitarians without other countries' aid who had skin in the game?
01:59:47.000 Man, I don't know.
01:59:49.000 Somebody from Australia was telling me that quarantine is just for people coming back into Australia.
01:59:53.000 That's not true.
01:59:54.000 I'm just saying that's what they're putting out.
01:59:57.000 So it's like, you know, oh, the camps are just for prisoners of war.
02:00:01.000 Oh, the camps are just for people with typhus.
02:00:02.000 Oh, the camps are just for the dissidents.
02:00:04.000 Oh, the camps are just for people we don't like.
02:00:06.000 What's funny is you mentioned camps.
02:00:08.000 It's one of the big jerks on Twitter is George Takai, who Grew up in one of the camps built and put there by FDR, a Democrat, and he spends all his time bashing Republicans.
02:00:22.000 I mean, I'm sorry.
02:00:23.000 Let's ask him about the quarantine camps in, you know, in Australia and see what he says.
02:00:27.000 I guess somehow if he doesn't, he doesn't run that account, I'm pretty sure.
02:00:31.000 I guess.
02:00:31.000 But if that if somebody put him, he goes on television, goes on media all over the place.
02:00:34.000 Somebody, somebody put me in a camp as a little kid.
02:00:37.000 And that political party is still strong.
02:00:40.000 I'd probably hold a grudge.
02:00:41.000 Just saying.
02:00:42.000 I don't know.
02:00:43.000 He's got a lot of boots to lick.
02:00:45.000 Someone's got to do it.
02:00:46.000 His first name is Hosato.
02:00:47.000 Changed to George at some point.
02:00:49.000 I like that guy.
02:00:51.000 We'll do just a couple more here.
02:00:51.000 All right.
02:00:51.000 Let's see.
02:00:53.000 Garhent says, I just want Michael Malice in real Jester's outfit.
02:00:57.000 Then Tim brings out a little puppet of Michael as Jester.
02:01:00.000 That is a really weird, but good idea.
02:01:01.000 That'd be hilarious.
02:01:03.000 Like having like a little puppet Michael Malice.
02:01:05.000 I thought you were going to have him stripped down into those underwears he sells.
02:01:08.000 That's right.
02:01:09.000 Yeah.
02:01:12.000 Let's see.
02:01:12.000 All right.
02:01:13.000 Oh, I could have done without that image.
02:01:14.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:01:15.000 It's on his Instagram if you want to see it.
02:01:16.000 Oh yeah.
02:01:17.000 If you want to.
02:01:18.000 Yeah, it's on my laptop.
02:01:18.000 I do.
02:01:18.000 I still have it.
02:01:19.000 good sir when are you gonna upload the original Alex Jones Michael Malice
02:01:22.000 episode to the website I don't know if we still have it oh let's put it on
02:01:27.000 rumble yeah it's on my laptop okay cool cuz I know it is up on iTunes and stuff
02:01:30.000 isn't it yeah yeah the audio I think oh maybe not No, I think it is.
02:01:35.000 Okay, you had me take it down off the podcast platforms, too.
02:01:38.000 Did I really?
02:01:38.000 Yeah, you did, because you were like, nope, nope, nope, take it down, take it down.
02:01:41.000 I was like, okay, all right, okay, all right.
02:01:43.000 We'll put it up right now.
02:01:43.000 All right, we'll figure it out, yeah.
02:01:46.000 Yeah, there was a lot of confusion around that, and we didn't know exactly what was going on or why or who was coming after us.
02:01:51.000 But then we forgot about it, so we can put it up on the website right now.
02:01:55.000 Um, cool.
02:01:57.000 All right, Struggling on YouTube says, inside info that CA Hospital is mandating the vaccine, it informed employees that if they are COVID positive but asymptomatic to go ahead and come into work.
02:02:06.000 It's not about health, it never was.
02:02:08.000 Yikes, man.
02:02:08.000 All right, we'll do one more.
02:02:10.000 BTK says, when Millie meets evacuated troops who had to leave the others behind, and the families of the dead, they'll teach him all colors of rage.
02:02:18.000 All right.
02:02:19.000 My friends, it's been a fun Friday night.

02:02:29.000 Yes.
02:02:30.000 And then, so maybe by tomorrow morning, I think, you can expect it to be up.
02:02:35.000 And, uh, man, we screwed that one up.
02:02:37.000 We should have had it up immediately.
02:02:38.000 We just kind of dropped the ball on that one.
02:02:40.000 I think, you know, what happened is that we were gonna, like, we were always planning on getting on the website, but then I immediately shifted focus to rebook them, do the show again, and then, like, a week later, we just did the show again.
02:02:50.000 Because I was like, ain't nobody gonna bring us down.
