A man has been arrested in connection with the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassination but it's not clear if he's the suspect in question. The left is celebrating the arrest and vowing to riot. Taylor Lorenz has been let go from Vox and Piers Morgan's. World War 3 is on the horizon.
00:00:48.000I mean, this person showed up assassinated the CEO, escaped, had a plan, but then kept all of the evidence on his person and dressed like the assassin and went to eat at McDonald's.
00:01:01.000So that's why I'm saying be careful because this might not be the person.
00:01:03.000They're saying it's someone connected to or a person of interest, although the individual is being arraigned in PA for having fake IDs and having these weapons or this weapon.
00:01:40.000Yeah, the dude's writings, if this is the assassin, is certainly no right-winger.
00:01:44.000He's an anti-capitalist climate change activist writing about how he believes in violence and all these things, very much aligning with the left.
00:01:53.000But again, we've got to be careful on this one.
00:01:55.000We also have a very funny update here on Taylor Lorenz, who has lost her, I don't know if you'd call it a job, but Vox is letting her go.
00:02:02.000They're not going to carry your podcast anymore, claiming it's unrelated to her comments about how she finds joy in the assassination.
00:02:08.000She appeared on Piers Morgan's where she said that she is joyful, along with millions of others over what happened.
00:02:27.000The Israel, U.S. and Turkey are now bombing and or launching incursions into Syria.
00:02:32.000Russia has evacuated the naval base in Tartus, a massive development which may signal either that Russia is routed and they are diminishing or potentially in the same regard.
00:02:42.000They're becoming desperate and this could escalate.
00:02:45.000So we will see before we get started with all that, my friends, head over to shop.boonieshq.com and pick up Johnny Haynes pro model gay frogs.
00:02:54.000For those that haven't seen this board, it's a beautiful celebration of frogs and their choice of love.
00:02:59.000These two frogs are holding hands, drinking what appears to be some type of green chemical liquid with a rainbow above them.
00:04:48.000Before we get into any news, I want to cite this headline from the Daily Wire that says, Kamala campaign account deletes post that led to Tim Pool defamation suit.
00:04:59.000I had posted, the lawsuit between I, Tim Pool, and the Kamala Harris campaign has been resolved to my satisfaction.
00:05:12.000Let's jump to the story from the New York Post.
00:05:15.000Suspect in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson ID'd as Luigi Mangione, an ex-Ivy League student.
00:05:15.000Suspect in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson ID'd as Luigi Mangione, an ex-Ivy League student.
00:05:24.000Now, this story is crazy, and I want to stress, while this person has been arrested, and I believe we have images of him being brought in to court, again, we don't know exactly if this is the guy.
00:05:25.000And I want to stress, while this person has been arrested, and I believe we have images of him being brought in to court.
00:05:33.000Again, we don't know exactly if this is the guy.
00:05:37.000Even if they charged him, he's innocent until proven guilty.
00:05:37.000Even if they charged him, he's innocent until proven guilty.
00:05:40.000They say he reportedly had a 3D-printed ghost gun, similar to the one used in the Wednesday morning murder, along with a silencer, a manifesto, four fake IDs, when he was arrested by cops.
00:05:50.000He's 26, and an anti-capitalist Ivy League graduate.
00:05:54.000Now, I will stress, Nick Sorter, tweeting, far left is identified as the suspect in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
00:06:03.000He's an anti-capitalist climate change activist, former Ivy League student who idolized Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, per the New York Post.
00:06:11.000Crystal Ball then says, plot twist, the UnitedHealthcare health CEO killer was apparently a right-wing fan of Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson, Teal Huberman, and other right-wing right and right-adjacent personalities.
00:07:09.000And we can break that down, but I'll throw it to you guys so I'm not just ranting on this one.
00:07:13.000Yeah, I mean, I think this is probably not...
00:07:16.000The reason this probably confuses people is he's not the standard liberal, resist-lib type of leftist.
00:07:22.000I mean, you could say he has some views that are third-positionist or all over the political spectrum, but to label this guy some type of generic...
00:07:29.000conservative right-wing guy cuz he I guess retweeted Tucker Carlson before it's just ridiculous if anything you could say he's sort of outside the normal political spectrum and that would be fair but to say conservative generically no absolutely not the like how Thomas Crooks was a you know Trump supporter exactly I was just gonna say that like the the left likes to do everything they can to distance themselves from any actual like political violence right you know just like they were saying Thomas Crooks was a who's a The guy that was shooting
00:07:59.000at Trump, you know, oh, he's a Trump supporter.
00:08:12.000So, I mean, breaking down what left and right means is, okay, fine, it's loaded or whatever.
00:08:18.000But when we say left and right in a common colloquial sense, we're referring to political tribes and little else and the manifestos of those tribes.
00:08:28.000So the right typically refers to a cohort of post-liberals, disaffected liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and like anarcho-capitalist libertarian types.
00:08:46.000If you want to make this argument of right means free market and left means centralized economy, then left and right makes no sense in any context in American political commentary.
00:08:56.000If you want to make the argument that it's fascist and communist, you're basically just saying authoritarian authoritarian and the difference being traditional worldview versus progressive worldview.
00:09:04.000In the American sense of left and right, this guy is left wing.
00:09:09.000I think that, like, for as much as, in my opinion, I guess, like, I think that if you are an anti-capitalist or if you are against private property, those are clearly, you know, clearly left positions.
00:09:24.000There's not a whole lot of debate about it.
00:09:26.000The idea of ending private property was...
00:09:29.000One of Marx's tenets of communism, he said that you could boil his philosophy down into one sentence, which is the abolition of private property.
00:09:39.000The suspect nabbed in the killing is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, and see that a manifesto, these parasites had it coming.
00:09:50.000TechWiz Luigi Mangione, 26, originally from Towson, MD. Wow, that's crazy.
00:10:14.000You know, I also think like, I don't understand the obsession really to make this so political to begin with, because I don't know if that was the initial accusation of conservatives that like, oh, this guy's a leftist.
00:10:48.000So, like I was saying, if we want to be honest, the first thing we have to do is define left and right because people use them to mean different things.
00:10:57.000It typically refers to the tribes in the political sphere.
00:11:02.000So often it does refer to a largely traditional versus a largely progressive worldview.
00:11:08.000It does in somewhat overlap with smaller government less regulation and larger government more regulation, but it's not absolute.
00:11:15.000So it's generally this amorphous structure.
00:11:18.000The reason why I think it's important to draw the distinction here is that the quote-unquote right, as we see it today, seeks to bring about change through voting.
00:11:28.000Only January 6th did we see a massive riot.
00:12:40.000He has a post where he was commenting on Goodreads, Ted Kaczynski's manifesto.
00:12:48.000Where he literally says, and I'm not going to quote the whole thing because I don't think it should be repeated, but he basically says that peaceful protest does not work.
00:12:56.000Ted Kaczynski, it's fascinating how he insults Kaczynski for killing innocent people, but then goes on to say he praises violence and the use of violence.
00:13:06.000And now they're saying they found a manifesto.
00:13:09.000It is not of the political right in this country to violate the norms, the rules, the regulations to a great degree and to advocate for violence.
00:13:17.000The right in this country is actually rather, you know, the joke we make about the Republican Party is slow down their Democrats.
00:13:46.00030 plus deaths in the BLM riots in 2020. This is their MO. So this guy, anti-capitalist, climate change activist, complaining about the healthcare industry and CEOs, while leftists online are cheering for him, I think it's important to draw the distinction of, if we as a culture allow that to persist unchecked, these are the things you get.
00:14:04.000And the right, as we see today, which includes a lot of former liberals like myself, are saying, we don't want violence, we don't want death, we want to come together, elect a Donald Trump and populist, conservative Republican types...
00:14:17.000Look, we're big fans of Thomas Massey because we're more libertarian and liberty-minded than anything else.
00:14:21.000But the right in this country is screaming and rambling and banging on the table.
00:14:25.000For political structural change, not through violence.
00:15:06.000So, the Nazis didn't have the same kind of centralized economy as the communists, but they used social order and pressure to maintain the economy that they wanted.
00:15:17.000Yeah, man, the terms left and right are too dichromatic to...
00:15:19.000That's why I said, in the United States, left and right is a reference to these two political camps.
00:15:24.000So, the Nazis maintained control over the economy through the fear of what the Nazis would do to you if you weren't just a part of the crowd.
00:16:04.000When Crystal Ball says he was right-wing or right-adjacent, I'm like, listening to Jonathan Haidt's research on thought processes and structures is not right-wing.
00:16:13.000Yeah, I think calling it left or right is a little bit presumptuous.
00:16:18.000Really, I mean, the guy seemed older than that, but he seems down.
00:16:21.000If you're looking at that four-quadrant situation, he looks, like, anarchistic.
00:17:16.000This guy literally wrote in his manifesto, which I'm like...
00:17:19.000Not manifesto, but in his review of the Unabomber...
00:17:23.000He says that we're animals and any animal on the planet would fight to the death seeing what was going on, but we are cowards or blah, blah, blah.
00:17:42.000What you're basically saying is that the average person looks to the leader of their tribe.
00:17:47.000The right, the far right is, Trump's in charge, we'll do what he says.
00:17:50.000It's like, okay, these are not the kind of people who are going to try and overthrow the government.
00:17:54.000And also, far anything, like people that are obsessed sycophants could be considered extremist right, extremist left.
00:18:01.000The people that voted for whoever the Democratic Party fed them were extremists in that direction.
00:18:05.000The people that will say yes to anything Donald Trump proposes, even if it's throwing people in prison for burning the American flag, far right, that's an extremist in that direction.
00:18:14.000So you've got to be critical of your leaders to not become an extremist.
00:18:18.000So I think this guy would be considered an extremist, and I call him left or right.
00:18:53.000Ben Shapiro can sit here and talk about how we shouldn't overtax corporations and overregulation is bad for business or whatever.
00:19:02.000I don't know what his position is exactly.
00:19:03.000And then if a leftist said something like, we need to find a solution to the fact that children die of the flu and people are dying on the street, Ben's going to say, I agree.
00:19:23.000You're insane if you don't agree with the good points someone makes, if they're good points, just because you're like, they're a leftist or a right-winger.
00:19:29.000Well, I mean, look, I don't think that the architecture preferences by people are a good barometer as right or left.
00:20:08.000And I think that if you take that position, then you're not just...
00:20:14.000I do think that it is fair to say you're not just right or left, you're anti-society, right?
00:20:18.000Because if you live in a society where you have vigilantes going out and doing this kind of stuff, you end up with just more police, you end up with more government influence, you end up with less freedom, and I don't see how anyone could actually want that result when they're saying, look, these CEOs are a bad thing, and they're not taking care of people the way they need to, and the solution will end up being just more...
00:20:43.000More policing, more government, more authoritarianism.
00:22:54.000Anarchy would be a conversation where neither asserts authority over each other, neither exerts power over each other, and they have a discussion and then come to terms.
00:23:04.000So these far leftists have taken the term anarchy, and this is offensive to me, and I'm not an anarchist.
00:23:12.000But if you actually talk to real anarchists, they'll tell you every—look, every political ideology has the means for violence to come about what they want, but it is antithetical to the idea of an anarchist society that is trying to have a discussion to arbitrarily decide to exert the ultimate authority, which is to take someone's life by force unilaterally.
00:23:31.000But the thing about having a discussion until you find terms is sometimes you don't find terms.
00:23:50.000The reason why is, in history, there have been a few short-lived anarchist societies, most notably the Catalonia Anarchist Commune, or whatever they call it.
00:23:59.000And the problem is, when no one has the authority to exert any power or direct obedience...
00:24:22.000You look at the Chaz and the Chop, those are supposed to be the autonomous zone and stuff like that.
00:24:28.000As soon as the police were ostensibly the authority before the establishment of the Chaz or whatever, as soon as they said they weren't going to go in, gangs became the authority.
00:24:40.000There were people walking around with guns and stuff.
00:24:42.000I think the distinction is important because far leftists, if you go to the subreddit like r slash anarchism, it is not anarchists.
00:24:50.000They've perverted the writers and philosophies of anarchy, and they advocate for centralized authoritarian power to subject people to their will.
00:24:58.000They hold fringe cultural leftist views.
00:25:22.000If you were a person that says, yes, the communists were right to put that down and roll the tanks in, and they were like, okay, well, those are...
00:25:33.000Go to r slash anarchism on Reddit and they're celebrating this.
00:25:36.000And then the actual people I know who are like anarchist scholars, and I'd be curious to talk to Michael Malice about it because he certainly knows way more about anarchist philosophy than I do.
00:25:45.000All the people I've known going back 15 years or so who have been to these protests are like – so, for example, during the wave of protests of the 2010s, I was friends with a handful of anarchists who are just like – we utterly despise the far left.
00:26:01.000We despise Antifa because they're the ones who make it impossible for anarchist organizing because the media uses that as a symbol of anarchy and then tells everybody anarchy means this.
00:26:12.000Going around and setting fire—like, if a group of people goes to your house and threatens to burn your house and let you do what they say, that's called fascistic, or it's called authoritarian, or it's called communist.
00:26:29.000But I guess the argument is, under anarchy, eventually those are the things that happen, right?
00:26:33.000So maybe that's why they associate it with anarchy, is because eventually, because, you know, there's no authority, someone takes the authority, so maybe that's the association.
00:26:44.000I agree with you to a certain extent, but many of these anarchists believe in being armed to the teeth and defending their own property.
00:26:49.000So the idea that someone else could come and threaten you, it's a question of, yes, bad people exist and people try to act with the power to subjugate you and do you have the power to defend yourself?
00:27:14.000So I'm going to read this one super chat real quick before we jump to the next story.
00:27:17.000Because it is the speculation as to what happened.
00:27:21.000The killer had bad back pain, turned 26, hence he lost his parents' insurance, got delusional, and killed the CEO instead of finding a job.
00:27:33.000Some are claiming that because of the back pain, he started taking psychedelics because he was trying to relieve himself, that he had problems with getting the surgery paid for, he got radicalized, took various drugs to alter his mind because of the pain or for whatever, and then came to some deluded reality.
00:27:51.000But let's jump to this from TMZ. Taylor Lorenz on Brian Thompson.
00:27:55.000I'm not calling for murder, but I'm not sorry about it either.
00:27:59.000So she basically tells these people that everybody's happy.
00:28:39.000So are the tens of thousands of Americans, innocent Americans, who died because greedy health insurance executives like this one push policies of denying care to the most vulnerable people.
00:29:25.000I don't find it funny that tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they are denied life-saving health care from people like the CEO. Now, I want to fix this system.
00:29:34.000So, man, there's so much to break down in this dangerous psychopath's rant.
00:30:30.000All that's going to happen is the CEOs are going to double their security.
00:30:33.000In fact, healthcare CEOs now are something probably like martyrs to normal people.
00:30:37.000And now people feel bad for them almost.
00:30:39.000I mean, look, something that hasn't really been mentioned very frequently in the whole thing here is like, and I'm going to make all the actual libertarians that are watching or that watch, they're going to cry out for joy.
00:30:52.000But the problems that most people see with the healthcare industry, they're because of government involvement.
00:30:59.000Your healthcare, your health insurance or your healthcare should not be tied to you having a job.
00:31:27.000You need to be able to pay for yourself and health care and buy that service.
00:31:30.000My point being that it shouldn't be tied to employment.
00:31:33.000If you look at LASIK, if you look at any kind of elective surgeries, the price goes down over time because there's competition.
00:31:42.000When you take health care out of the market context and make it something that someone else pays for and the people that are actually getting the care or giving the care don't actually talk about the price or discuss the price at all, then you're going to see prices skyrocket like this.
00:32:00.000The government should not be involved at all.
00:32:04.000It takes, what, 12 years for someone to become a doctor and cost them $600,000?
00:32:08.000It's absolutely insane the amount of help that people could be giving each other in this world if we didn't have government regulations of doctorship.
00:32:36.000Like, the healthcare system is bad for a lot of reasons, but it is not the fault of a doctor or an insurance company who doesn't provide for you that an illness took your life.
00:33:01.000If a human being, I don't know, contracts some kind of disease and they are dying, let's say, let's, this is the worldview of these leftists.
00:33:10.000If I go down to, I don't know, Bogota or go somewhere, and then I get some weird bug lands on me and bites me, and then I get a disease.
00:33:21.000When I get sick and then go to the hospital and die, no one murdered me.
00:33:28.000If a dude is working in his backyard, or how about this?
00:33:31.000If a guy is working on, say, like an oil, they're building an oil well, and then in the process, a bunch of pipes fall on him and crush him.
00:33:43.000If they bring him to the hospital and they can't save his life because of some paperwork, they didn't murder him.
00:33:58.000In many circumstances, there are people who might have, like, a cancer or treatment.
00:34:02.000And this is more rare, but it happens where they say...
00:34:04.000We're not going to pay for this treatment because you're not covered or we're disqualifying you.
00:34:08.000But it is not as common as these people are claiming it out to be.
00:34:12.000Overwhelmingly, people get their insurance paid, and we generally don't like these companies because they're kind of dicks about it, and they make a lot of money off of denying claims.
00:34:41.000Because then what's the implication if someone is killing, murdering like thousands of people a year, then what does that justify against them?
00:34:58.000I think the real challenge is, I would love to pay an all-expense paid trip for you, Taylor Lorenz, to insert any third world country.
00:35:08.000I think we'd want to do a tour of like three different locations in different regions where you would then live for one week in these places.
00:35:29.000And then you take a look at Canada and it's like man denied basic health treatment, you know, because the government's refusing to pay for it.
00:35:35.000So they get private health care anyway.
00:35:37.000And now they're offering medical assistance and dying.
00:35:38.000Not to mention they don't have access to the same treatments we do.
00:35:41.000These people are the epitome of spoiled rich kids.
00:35:46.000That is, they may not be rich, but they were born in the United States and they don't realize how the rest of the world lives.
00:36:13.000So these people live in a golden castle of wealth standing on the shoulders of giants and then think she has a right to She says she wants people to die for not giving her more wealth.
00:37:04.000You could argue that the capitalistic food and drug industry has capitalized on making people sick with toxic chemicals and then selling them a pharmaceutical to try and treat that and get into this cycle of illness and decline and then barely keep, you know, patient for life.
00:37:21.000But that's not capitalism that's doing it.
00:37:23.000That's the corrupted medical establishment that's taking advantage of capitalism.
00:37:27.000And even still, like, that particular thing, again, I'm going to talk like a libertarian again, but like, We talk about how much sugar there is in food that you get and stuff.
00:37:39.000It's because the government pays farmers to produce corn.
00:37:43.000And with that corn, they make high fructose corn syrup.
00:37:46.000That's why high fructose corn syrup is in everything.
00:37:50.000And to your other point about the possibility that capitalism has caused people to not have food or whatever, the reason we have 7 billion people on Earth now – well, there's two – is because of oil and because of markets.
00:38:09.000If we didn't have oil to be able to properly transport, store in plastics and move all these food products around the world, we wouldn't have this many people.
00:38:19.000And you wouldn't have this many people if it wasn't for the fact that we have capital markets that can exchange goods from country to country.
00:38:28.000So the idea that capitalism is a net negative, I think that's just completely ridiculous.
00:38:35.000There are definitely bad things about about our system, but that doesn't mean that capitalism as a whole is a bad corporate.
00:38:42.000She's basically saying that these health care CEOs are murdering every single person around the world.
00:39:17.000Let me pull up this story from Semaphore.
00:39:20.000So, of course, we are talking about Taylor Loren's boy.
00:39:22.000Is she getting a lot of airtime for being a nutjob?
00:39:24.000But it's been reported now that she and Vox are parting ways.
00:39:27.000Now, they say it has nothing to do with her screed about wanting more death and being joyful at the murder of a guy, a man who had children.
00:39:37.000But I do think this termination, it shows the world is healing.
00:39:45.000I'm not trying to be funny, but this is a person who thinks, she said on TMZ, the people, the people want this.
00:40:37.000The company announced its partnership with Lorenz earlier this year, which Axios dubbed the distribution deal a huge win for the company as it tried to partner with premier podcast talent on distribution, not monetization and strategy.
00:40:48.000Still, while Lorenz remains one of the most talked about journalists in digital media, her social media persona is a magnet for criticism both for her and the media companies associated with it.
00:40:57.000Vox's decision not to renew the show was made before her comments this week, in which she appeared to justify the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO as an expression of public discontent.
00:41:38.000If I had someone like Taylor Lorenz here and she was saying these things.
00:41:41.000I would also not be like, because she's called for the death of these people and celebrated, we're saying we don't want to work with her, because then all of those people will target you.
00:41:51.000Fortunately for me, I don't hire people like Taylor LeRentz, so I'm not worried about it.
00:41:55.000I think Vox is murdering her, because she just lost her health insurance, so there you go.
00:42:02.000But yeah, no, I mean, I think that especially when Taylor Lorenz goes out, you say that about a healthcare CEO, right?
00:42:08.000You're going up and saying like probably things that could maybe catch a lawsuit against a industry with a lot of power.
00:42:14.000I think Vox is protecting itself, but maybe it's also possible that Vox is just out of money because frankly, I didn't know they were even still around.
00:42:21.000Maybe they just don't have the budget to keep her podcast.
00:42:23.000I think NBC... Invested hundreds of millions into Vox.
00:42:26.000Because I heard a story like, what was it, a year or two ago that they were going under, so maybe that's what happened.
00:43:00.000While you're looking up, I just want to stress, you can make fun of Vox all you want, but I bought some BuzzFeed stock when Vivek got in there, and I am way up.
00:43:30.000It's challenging to have empathy for this girl because I feel like she's closed off either with psychoactives that she's taken, like pharma.
00:43:36.000But the stupid shit that this girl says over and over makes me want to distance myself from her.
00:44:29.000I think that, correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not as well learned on Christianity, but I believe it's a core tenet of Christianity that people can be forgiven and can be redeemed.
00:44:37.000There's a church called Christ the Redeemer.
00:44:39.000A friend of mine went to Redeemer High School, middle school.
00:45:10.000So Matt Walsh and I think Mike Cernovich both said Cenk is trying to go onto these shows and say, like, look, I understand...
00:45:18.000But what their attitude is, nah, he saw Anna Kasparian getting a massive following, getting way better numbers, getting praised for being reasonable, and he's chasing after that after a relay.
00:45:31.000And I've been saying the whole time, these people who, you know, with with the respect I can give Cenk, he's got to build a big platform, but with limited respect.
00:45:41.000These are the people that are going to march in lockstep with the machine.
00:45:44.000We want them to fall in line for what we are saying.
00:45:49.000So what you need to understand with these people in the event, and as it's largely about like Taylor Lorenz and being crazy and how she got ousted from corporate media, but for any one of these people who is now having a come to the light moment where, oh, you know, oh, geez, you know, Bill Maher is trying to play that game.
00:46:10.000But so long as you are shutting up and saying the things that are true and correct, it's better you are right than virtuous.
00:46:18.000We just need to make sure we recognize these people will flip on a dime the moment the wind blows the other direction.
00:46:24.000But for the time being, we want to align the power they have in media behind what we think is good to maximize our potential.
00:46:32.000Simply saying, I don't believe Cenk is a true reformer, but if he's going to start telling his audience that we're right and it pushes people in this direction, we are winning.
00:46:44.000He's basically saying, look, I'm in a bad spot.
00:46:47.000I'm gonna say what you want me to say.
00:46:49.000I'd be like, it's cowardly, but, you know, good.
00:46:52.000We've been saying on this podcast for the better part of two years at least, you know, we're looking for ways to convince the normal Democrats to move away from the woke, the crazy leftists.
00:47:04.000People like Taylor Lorenz, people that say things like revolutionaries.
00:47:10.000We want normal Democrats to start being normal Democrats again.
00:48:04.000They didn't look at her and say, no, Annie, you're wrong, and blah, blah, blah.
00:48:07.000They attacked her, called her terrible names, and et cetera, et cetera.
00:48:10.000And then there was the then she then she started looking at things like the Kyle Rittenhouse issue where Cenk even still has a terrible opinion on that.
00:48:19.000He was here the other day and I was like, why do you he's like, you know, we have this.
00:48:23.000I still think Rittenhouse was a bad guy.
00:48:25.000And but either way, like she looked at the evidence and she was like, I was wrong on that.
00:48:32.000If they're going to actually take realistic perspectives or look at the honest facts on the ground and they're going to change their opinion and they're going to tell their audience and even fight with their audience some and tell their audience, look, you should look at things from multiple sources.
00:48:47.000You shouldn't just listen to left-leaning sources.
00:49:35.000That was one of the moments that actually kind of pushed me into conservative ideology and that was done by what?
00:49:40.000A liberal who was like just saying something we still to this day like judge Bill Maher's intentions or what is he doing but if he's speaking to the audience and the audience moves in a certain direction it's a good direction I don't really think it's productive to care about what his intentions are because it doesn't matter.
00:49:55.000Insofar as we recognize that should the wind blow the other direction they'll untrust towards your people.
00:50:00.000And selecting leadership, it's important to gauge intention, but just for the outcome, it is irrelevant.
00:50:15.000What they're saying, just like you said, what they're saying is important, but are they actually moving people towards the center, moving people away from the woke, endorsing Actual liberal ideas, like classically liberal ideas.
00:50:30.000The left has been very against the fundamental principles of the Constitution, like things like freedom of speech, the idea of property rights.
00:50:39.000You know, the innocent until proven guilty, the left has totally abandoned that.
00:50:43.000These are things that the normal people in America still actually value, and we need the people that have considered themselves Democrats to actually say, yes, we reject that.
00:50:53.000And if Jenkin, Anna, and people like that help that process along, more power to them.
00:50:58.000I think it reflects to the conversation that's happening in the whole Democrat Party since the election, which is, and I've been saying this, they have two choices, right?
00:51:05.000They can double down on all the stuff that got them to lose the election, or they can try to wake up and be a more normal party.
00:51:11.000And either way, it's a good thing, because if they just double down on what they've been doing, they're going to lose.
00:51:15.000But if they kind of move a little bit to the center, then we're going to have a healthier political conversation.
00:51:19.000And yeah, that might make them a little bit more difficult to beat.
00:51:22.000But at the same time, if they do win the election, we don't have to be worried that we're going to lose the freaking country.
00:51:26.000So either way, I think it's a good outcome.
00:51:29.000Let's jump to this next story from the New York Times.
00:51:32.000Daniel Penny is acquitted in the death of Jordan Neely on Subway.
00:51:38.000Mr. Penny choked Mr. Neely in a minutes-long struggle on the floor of the F-strain.
00:51:41.000The case reflected the pathologies of post-pandemic New York.
00:51:45.000Well, we've got this from Nick Sorter.
00:51:46.000Daniel Penny is speaking out for the first time, and he and his lawyers, as they celebrate a massive victory, he was trying to help people on the train, and he did.
00:51:53.000Here's the video of the man in question celebrating.
00:52:17.000Yeah, he's like, I don't want to say the wrong thing.
00:52:19.000No, we think that this should have happened probably on day one, but the point thing is it happened, so we can't control the timing of it, but we can certainly savor the outcome.
00:52:29.000And why do you think it was not guilty?
00:52:36.000Well, he's not guilty on a few different reasons.
00:52:38.000Because his actions were justified, he was trying to help people on that train, and he did.
00:52:43.000And number two, he's not responsible for the death because the death was caused by a lot of other factors that we tried to present with a lot of clarity, such as the K2 abuse and the sickle cell, the sickling crisis, and cardiac injuries.
00:52:57.000Not to mention the paranoid schizophrenia, which only added to that impact.
00:53:01.000So I'm just glad that the jury was able to truly evaluate that as a potential cause of death and that Danny was justified in the actions that he took.
00:53:32.000Yeah, I think the general culture has shifted so much the past four years that there's not really the same appetite to listen to those leftists out there as there was before.
00:53:42.000And there's more of an appetite, I would argue, too, probably by NYPD to just have less tolerance for this type of stuff.
00:53:48.000I think you might see some isolated incidents.
00:53:50.000But this whole situation is kind of an indicator of how much our country's changed since 2020. Because I think if that happened in 2020...
00:53:59.000You probably get a conviction, most likely.
00:54:01.000I think the situation, the political pressure on the jurors was significantly less than it would have been four years ago.
00:54:23.000As a guess, I would say because without the BLM agitprop, the propaganda that went along with the initial 2020 riots and stuff like that, without that kind of stuff, it doesn't really motivate the people.
00:54:42.000I wonder if people don't have the appetite because a lot of the people that had bought into the idea that thousands of black men per year were being killed, thousands of unarmed black men were being killed by the cops every year, which was blatantly false.
00:56:36.000So that way you don't sneeze or whatever.
00:56:38.000And honestly, when COVID first hit, before it became a thing, I was like, well, you know, it would be kind of cool if people in America started wearing masks if they're sick, so that way they don't sneeze, because it's kind of cool in Japan.
00:56:51.000And then it became a political thing, and I'm just like, well, I don't want...
00:56:54.000And also, if it was even serving the process, like, the wrong mask, it would just be, like, socially, you know, just, like, virtue signaling, like, hey, look at me, and it's like, dude, that piece of cloth is not only carrying fecal, like, putrefactive bacteria on the inside of it, it's not sealing it, right?
00:57:13.000In Japan, they don't wear it trying to seal anything.
00:57:15.000They're just, like, so that way they don't, like, sneeze and get anything on people, so that way they, like...
00:57:20.000Because if you sneeze, and you sneeze in your arm, you're sneezing on your clothing.
00:57:24.000So if you have the mask on and you sneeze, then you could go ahead and take it off and toss it and put another one on.
00:57:30.000Use it as if it's a tissue that's already on your face.
00:57:33.000I think the reason I even brought that up is because you mentioned the riots in 2020. I think those were like a direct result of the shutdowns from the COVID response, the government overreach, and not being locked people.
00:57:43.000Some countries did lock people in their homes, literally.
00:57:45.000But in New York, these apartments are microscopic.
00:57:47.000A lot of people, like the friends that I had, it's a studio bedroom that's – the room is 20 feet by 20 feet in a lot of these places.
00:57:56.000And it's like your kitchen is – you have a kitchen.
00:58:19.000There still is a concern, I brought it up last week when they tried pulling this scheme, that already, this sends a signal, they will use the procedure as the punishment.
00:58:27.000But this still shows a trend in a positive direction where, I think in a couple years, we do see an end to this type of psychotic behavior.
00:58:34.000And hopefully we return back to a society that says, you have responsibility in your life.
00:58:43.000If it's true what happened, and it seems like it was that he protected people on the subway.
00:58:47.000This guy was terrorizing people on the subway, literally domestic terrorism at its finest, saying he was going to kill someone and go to jail for it.
00:58:54.000And then three guys had to hold him down, including Daniel Penny and two other dudes who never really got pinned in this somehow.
00:59:01.000And everyone turned out unharmed, except for the guy with paranoid schizophrenia who was on K2. There's just like Spice.
00:59:38.000But yeah, definitely this is a big step.
00:59:40.000I kind of thought I saw this as a crossroads moment for the city of New York.
00:59:44.000Because it's like, do they want to decide to go the full-blown, I know we don't want to use the word anarchy, but you know what I mean, route?
00:59:50.000Or do they want to start taking steps in the right direction?
00:59:53.000I think what you're seeing in a lot of Democrat cities in this country, you know, I recently, like I went to Detroit, for instance, over the summer for the Turning Point USA event.
01:00:01.000And I was totally expecting Detroit to be, like, everything I imagined.
01:00:08.000I think even in these Democrat cities, even if they're not voting Republican nationally or even locally, you are seeing an increased appetite even from Democrat voters to want to kind of fix things.
01:00:18.000Look at the anti-crime proposition in California.
01:00:20.000That passed with 70% this time around.
01:00:23.000And that's a good thing because I think revitalizing our cities is probably one of those steps needed to like take the country back as a whole.
01:00:32.000What's the anti-crime prop in California?
01:00:34.000So remember how California, they were doing the $950 thing where if you steal under $950, you know, they're not going to go after it.
01:01:57.000But in the direction towards Trump, when polled, if democracy was at risk, More people voting for Trump said it was than Democrats, meaning the lawfare against Trump was viewed.
01:02:21.000I said that theft is a violent crime, and technically it's not, even though stealing someone's livelihood and taking away their food could be sort of like a passive form of violence.
01:02:32.000Well, it's literally not a violent crime, depending on what you're doing and how you're stealing, right?
01:02:38.000So like mugging is a violent crime, but larceny is not a violent crime.
01:03:18.000Yeah, because you're not actually for any violence.
01:03:20.000Did you see the video of the woman in there, like, knocking all the bottles of alcohol off the thing, and the guy just goes up to the owner of the store and just decks her in the face?
01:03:26.000People are like, someone had to do it!
01:03:40.000Look, I don't think you should hurt the child, but any adult could literally just grab her arms and hold her so she stops and say, look, I'm not trying to hurt you, but you gotta stop.
01:03:48.000But, I gotta be honest, I ain't doing it.
01:03:50.000How many of you guys would walk up to a little black girl who was smashing up a store and grab her arms to stop her from doing anything?
01:03:55.000Probably get charged with, like, murder.
01:04:04.000And then what I hear from a lot of these people, a lot of conservatives who are like back to the blue, I'm like, dude, you know those cops would arrest you.
01:04:13.000How is it that Donald Trump is falsely charged with these BS charges and the cops are like, don't know, don't care, Trump, you're going to jail.
01:04:19.000Yeah, the How come they weren't like, I refuse to be party to whatever it is you're doing?
01:04:45.000I'm not saying all cops are not good people.
01:04:46.000I'm saying the cops in New York, who are part of a mechanism where the guy at the top is appointed by a Democrat to enact Democrat policies when they illegally stole, when de Blasio stole taxpayer money to paint Black Lives Matter in front of the Trump Tower, and then put 27 police officers to guard it.
01:05:06.000All of that was illegal, and those cops don't care.
01:05:11.000Yeah, I mean, I think it's important to understand that ultimately police, like, because the argument I always hear, the counter-argument I always hear to you, Tim, is like, well, they don't really agree with it, though.
01:05:21.000You know, don't you know most cops are Republicans?
01:06:35.000When Cronister got the nomination for the head of DEA and then and then the story broke.
01:06:41.000The story we already knew, but the story went wild.
01:06:43.000That he had arrested a pastor for trying to host church services during COVID lockdown.
01:06:48.000He got denied and rejected from that position.
01:06:50.000Everybody was willing to line up against a sheriff for arresting a pastor.
01:06:54.000Where are the same calls for the cops who are facilitating the injustice against Daniel Panning?
01:06:59.000I think if cops got arrested for arresting someone that was found innocent in hindsight, they'd stop arresting people, which could be a big problem.
01:07:08.000Because there are a lot of people, they're not really up to them.
01:07:11.000It's better that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
01:07:13.000And in this regard, I think everybody saw the video and knew what happened and said, we will not be a society that will penalize one man of three.
01:07:59.000They said they wouldn't render advanced aid because they were concerned of getting AIDS. I'm not exaggerating.
01:08:03.000They said they gave him chest compressions but wouldn't give him mouth-to-mouth because they don't want to get AIDS. That could be a contributing factor to why he died.
01:08:10.000Daniel Penny gives an interview where he doesn't even know the guy died.
01:08:13.000He said, look, I'm not trying to kill the guy.
01:08:14.000He's just threatening people, so I held him down.
01:08:15.000Two other guys held him down, and they did not get charged.
01:08:20.000Now the narrative from Black Lives Matter is that it's a racist oppression, ignoring the fact that two other non-white men were subduing Jordan Neely as well, stopping him from fighting back.
01:08:29.000This was clearly political, racist BS, and every single cop who said, I am still going to violate the rights of Daniel Penny should be charged.
01:08:39.000There's people that are saying that, oh, self-defense is now legal in New York.
01:08:59.000You need to get serious changes in the DA's office and possibly or probably in the police force as well before you can say, okay, yeah, self-defense is legal.
01:09:11.000And you probably need some changes to your...
01:09:15.000You see that other guy who stabbed somebody in a train and didn't get charged?
01:09:37.000And I understand people are going to say, yes, the leadership, Tim.
01:09:39.000And I'm like, okay, so if you're a cop and you're looking at three men subduing a guy and they say only charge the white guy and you go, you got a boss.
01:09:54.000Well, I guess the counter-argument to that is usually like, well, how are they going to feed their family, right?
01:09:58.000So my take on this has always been, I understand that the police have a job to do, whatever, but it's just like, I'm not going to sit here and say I back the blue or wave that police flag when it's like, well, it's kind of complicated, right?
01:10:10.000Because it's like, yeah, I understand you guys have a job to do, but still, objectively, you're enforcing tyranny, so I'm not anti-police, but don't expect me to give you a medal for arresting No, I think they should be arrested.
01:10:19.000I think they should be criminally charged.
01:10:42.000The issue ultimately becomes why my principal's position is I'm not going to live in cities like that, and I retreat to you get what you deserve, because you're correct.
01:10:52.000The leadership of New York has created the situation.
01:10:55.000I personally think they're in violation of the Constitution, and Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Pam Bonney, whoever, should launch—they announced Harmeet Dillon as the attorney for what, civil rights?
01:11:06.000I'm hoping that she can pursue violation of rights and go after people in New York for what they did to Donald Trump.
01:11:13.000I'm hoping the federal government can say, I don't care what the stupid crackpot morons in your city voted for.
01:11:18.000There is a constitution in this country, and you cannot get away with stealing taxpayer dollars to paint an ideological message in your street and then fund 27 cops to do that.
01:11:35.000That's why, ultimately, I just say, you are right, Vince.
01:11:38.000That the left and BLM, this happened because they demand it, and the city is scared of them, and they don't care.
01:11:44.000So I just choose not to live there, and the people who want to live there, when these things happen to them, I say, guys, if you support these cops and say the cops should be allowed to do this, the people who are chatting, saying, don't blame the cops, Tim, that's fine.
01:11:55.000When the cop comes and cracks you over the skull and says, my boss told me to do it, I won't defend you.
01:12:02.000Well, that's why my position on the police is kind of like almost neutral, right?
01:12:06.000Because it's like, I understand my main gripe is with the state, but they're enforcers of the state, so I'm not going to really love them for it or hate them for it.
01:12:13.000Yeah, it's like hating the club when it's the guy swinging the club.
01:12:16.000Like, the cop's supposed to be a neutral arm of the government, supposed to, but it's a human being, and they have discernment.
01:12:21.000They have the ability to not arrest a guy if they think it's time to not arrest the guy, and they have a...
01:12:28.000In the opposite, they're supposed to arrest a guy if they think this situation deems it.
01:12:33.000So they're not truly neutral, but they're supposed to be as close to it as possible, I guess.
01:13:15.000If you are charismatic, they'll let people off.
01:13:20.000Right, but politically neutral, in reference to what the police are supposed to do, is that they're not going to say, I arrest Democrats and let Republicans go, or vice versa.
01:13:25.000No, but I think that police will make assumptions based on those things, and they'll say, well, this guy, I don't like the way this guy looks, or whatever, and stuff like that.
01:15:32.000It's also, there's no fear of like, or there's much less fear of like, psychotic dudes wrapped up on pharma, like, or whatever crazy drugs armed.
01:15:40.000It's like, in a small town, most people are just, either they're out drinking, or that's it.
01:15:44.000Or they know who the crazy guy is, and he's in the drunk tank all the time.
01:15:47.000So in big cities, the cop says, dude, I don't know you.
01:16:45.000I think that's a very legitimate point because I think a lot of the culture in conservative circles for so long has been back the blue, back the blue, the police are always good no matter what.
01:16:57.000And I understand where that grows from because this is kind of out of the context of crazy left-wing activists wanting to abolish the police constantly.
01:17:03.000And, you know, basically their gripe with the police is when the police properly enforce the law, it's bad.
01:18:17.000This is an article from November, actually, that they reposted because of what just happened in Syria with Bashar al-Assad fleeing, the Assad family fleeing to Moscow and being granted asylum.
01:18:42.000Sevastopol is Black Sea, but their Black Sea flagship was bombed by Ukrainian forces with U.S. and Western assistance.
01:18:49.000So the question then becomes, with everything we're seeing here, and now we have this issue of Taiwan on high alert as of today due to some 90 warships being deployed by China.
01:21:14.000And so let's draw them to the bigger picture.
01:21:16.000Russia, with military interests in Syria and a naval base, which gives them access to the Mediterranean, just lost their Mediterranean access and was forced to retreat because they're losing badly in Ukraine.
01:21:25.000It's not a question of them saying they wouldn't use nukes over Ukraine.
01:21:28.000This is they're withdrawing their international military apparatus because they are losing on their home front.
01:21:38.000Again, I'm not an expert or anything like that.
01:21:40.000But if they're weakened to the point where they can't back Syria anymore, the last thing they want to do is use nuclear weapons because that would only invite aggression from all of NATO.
01:21:51.000And so, I mean, if they're just like saying, OK, then we'll just kill everyone on Earth.
01:21:56.000And I don't know that that's what they want, because if they can't defend Syria, if they can't support Syria, who's doing the heavy lifting?
01:22:04.000Honestly, they're just sending them money and weapons.
01:22:05.000If they don't have the military assets to defend Syria, then that means they're depleted and they're fighting in Ukraine for the past three years.
01:22:13.000If they were to go ahead and use a nuke, they're going to draw military action from the whole of NATO.
01:23:27.000The question is, if Vladimir Putin is losing on his own border to the point that his external military apparatus is collapsing, the question he asks himself is, do I escalate the conflict, which would be the next degree would probably be a nuclear artillery, you know, howitzers and such.
01:23:44.000The Russian term, I don't know the Russian term for the artilleries they use.
01:23:46.000And with warheads, because they are losing, Ukraine is launching incursions and missile strikes into Bryansk and Kursk.
01:23:54.000Or, I mean, look, the fact that Syria collapsed because they could no longer assist them.
01:23:58.000I don't think bigger bombs is going to change it.
01:24:56.000Yeah, I think that they're just holding on.
01:24:58.000I think Russia's best play is hold on until Donald Trump comes in, and then look for a deal.
01:25:05.000Yeah, I think that they've lost their Syrian territory, and that theater is gone, but they're going to hold on and try and negotiate some sort of white peace where they just keep territory they've taken.
01:25:16.000Which allows Putin to save face, too, so he doesn't have to get desperate.
01:25:21.000When Donald Trump comes in, if Trump says to Putin, the war is over, and cedes some Ukrainian territory or Sevastopol or something like this, the Donbass, Mariupol, etc., etc., Putin has surrendered, especially losing Syria.
01:25:34.000They call it a white peace, which is the war just ends.
01:25:38.000And whoever has whatever, that's just where it is.
01:25:40.000We've talked about it quite a bit, but one of the principal components of this conflict is the Qatar-Turkey pipeline, which is rooted in Europe getting cheaper energy.
01:25:49.000Gazprom controls about a quarter of natural gas into Europe through Ukraine.
01:25:49.000Gazprom controls about a quarter of natural gas into Europe through Ukraine.
01:25:54.000And this keeps the price that they have a stranglehold on the price of gas, which according to when I say this is surface level stuff, the Western intelligence, this is a problem for European economic growth.
01:25:54.000And this keeps the price, they have a stranglehold on the price of gas, which according to, and I said this is surface level stuff, the Western intelligence, this is a problem for European economic growth.
01:26:08.000And and again, mainstream sourcing on this, I think there's probably a lot more at play.
01:26:14.000The idea is that Europe needs to grow as an economic block faster to compete with China's rapid growth.
01:26:19.000And they can't because Russia is jacking up the price of energy, which makes it harder for the people of Europe.
01:26:26.000So NATO, the US and Europe wanted to build a gas pipeline through Syria and Turkey into Europe to offset the gas prom monopoly.
01:26:33.000Syria said, no, Russia is our ally and we will not allow you to build a gas pipeline that would disrupt their their gas, their energy trade.
01:26:43.000They call Russia a gas station with snow or something like this.
01:26:46.000They say they just provide energy to Europe.
01:26:48.000Basically, that's the only way they operate.
01:26:51.000So after Syria says no, because our our ally Russia would be upset.
01:26:56.000So The U.S. then, this was publicly stated in The Guardian in 2012, basically the U.S. said, we will overthrow the government of Syria so that we can build this pipeline.
01:27:06.000The ISIS rises, the country falls in a civil war, Barack Obama and seemingly under his leadership, oh geez, ISIS ends up with a pickup truck from Detroit or whatever.
01:27:18.000Now, there's a big area of contention is whether or not the West was actually supplying weapons to these terrorists.
01:27:23.000But as the story goes, everybody says, right, that's the case.
01:27:26.000And the idea was if Al-Qaeda and ISIS and these other groups continue to gain control of the region, Assad will be removed from power, regardless of your views of whether he's a good or bad person.
01:27:37.000And with the instability in the region, we can send in the troops, stage an incursion, control it, build our pipeline and shut down Russia's control of gas.
01:27:46.000This is also why the Nord Stream pipeline got blown up because they're basically saying Russia is controlling too much interest in Europe and Europe is saying okay to them.
01:27:55.000So what ends up happening now is after Syria says no, Iran and Russia teamed up to build a pipeline that would go through Syria and Turkey and strengthen Russian control of energy in Europe.
01:28:06.000Surprise, surprise, Syrian civil war happens.
01:28:09.000If now the Syrian government has collapsed, paving the way for the West to come in with Israel now bombing weapon sites and Turkey invading from the north and the U.S. also engaging in strikes, I believe drone strikes.
01:28:21.000This paves the way, removes all opposition.
01:28:24.000And with Tartus being evacuated, the Russians now have no military option for countering Western forces building a pipeline to shut down their energy trade.
01:29:56.000Their principal reason for invasion was to make sure they didn't lose access to a multi hundreds of million hundred million dollar plus industrial port and naval base in Sevastopol.
01:30:06.000However, they run their gas through Ukraine.
01:30:10.000They were trying to work a trade deal with Ukraine and the West came in and basically said soft power takeover and forced out Russian interests.
01:30:18.000Russia invades because I mean, it's a combination of factors.
01:30:23.000The victory point for Russia in this would have been we control the land bridge and maintain Crimea.
01:30:28.000But losing in power in Ukraine and Ukraine to NATO, which is seemingly going to happen, is a massive defeat.
01:30:47.000But this is why they bloop Nord Stream 2. It's about saying to Russia, you're a gas station, shut your mouth and do as you're told.
01:30:53.000The loss of Syria means that we can offset their gas monopoly by bringing in Middle Eastern gas into Europe, and it's going to dump the price of Gazprom.
01:31:00.000So we bring in competitive pricing through Syria.
01:31:04.000We drop the price of natural gas 20%, 30%, 40%.
01:31:06.000Russia then says our economy is in trouble.
01:31:09.000That's why they were rejecting this and trying to resist it.
01:31:11.000With Syria falling and the West being able to get what they want, Russia loses everything.
01:32:31.000And I don't think China wants that either because if Russia were to be thinking, oh, we've got the support of China, I don't think that that's in China's best interest and I don't think that they want that either.
01:32:42.000China's got a lot of economic interests that go up in smoke, literally, if there's a nuclear exchange.
01:32:47.000Alright, we're going to go to Super Chat.
01:32:48.000So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know, become a member over at TimCast.com to support our work directly and get access to our members-only Discord server, as well as get to watch the Uncensored show.
01:33:02.000But I'm going to start with the Super Chat that just came in because it's on topic.
01:33:08.000Sir, it looks like you Google searched this maybe half a time, not even once.
01:33:15.000Russia's interests—the war is not about one specific point of Ukraine.
01:33:21.000Russia has interests all over the globe, and they've been dwindling.
01:33:25.000One of the principal components of this has been the Qatar-Turkey pipeline for a long time, with Bashar al-Assad outright saying— Like, this is not innuendo.
01:33:32.000He literally told the West, you will not build a gas pipeline through Syria because it would damage Russia's sale of energy into Europe.
01:33:47.000This was reported in 2012 in The Guardian.
01:33:50.000And I believe the initial report that came out, which outlined this, was 2009. With Syria falling and Russia evacuating Tartus, that is a tremendous defeat.
01:34:00.000Could you imagine what would happen if the U.S. announced we were evacuating our naval bases in, I don't know, Japan or something?
01:34:07.000We're pulling our troops out of South Korea.
01:34:11.000I don't know how many troops they have in Tartus.
01:35:07.000And now they're withdrawing forces from Syria and resources to focus on the fight on their border.
01:35:13.000That is not indicative of winning a larger international conflict.
01:35:16.000By all means, Ukraine is pulling in women and old men.
01:35:20.000They're not doing well, but the West is dumping an infinite amount of money into this war that Russia is struggling to maintain.
01:35:26.000We've got to take a page from history in what the Allies did to the Germans after World War I. They split the shit out of that country and they basically destroyed it and made it pay reparations and wrecked their economy, gave rise to World War II. If we do that to Russia, if we stomp on them and try and smear them out, they will rise up later as a more chaotic evil entity.
01:35:51.000I got maybe, maybe, but I don't think that's on the table.
01:35:56.000That's like invasion equals nuclear holocaust.
01:35:58.000So that, I just think you need a piece, some sort of equitable peace deal.
01:36:02.000Maybe they lose their Syrian equity, we run the gas line, they get access to the Black Sea through, you know, eastern Ukraine, and then we'll try and find some sort of parity.
01:36:12.000I think even in a more short-term sense than that, they're going to go right into the hands of China and Iran and those other countries, but mainly China.
01:36:18.000And that growing partnership, even if the West gets a short-term victory because, aha, the Ukraine war went badly, it's going to be a really bad thing in the West for that to happen.
01:36:27.000There used to be a really great website called conflictmap.org.
01:36:48.000Alright, let's grab some super chips from the top.
01:36:50.000We got T-Bomb85 says, The best perk for TimCast members is the exclusive 7 Days to Die server, with over 60 active players starting fresh at day one.
01:36:59.000Soon when the new 1.2 update hits this month, join today.
01:37:09.000I retweeted one of the images that I, it was indiscernible.
01:37:12.000And people, they'll say in the comments, oh, I could tell it was AI, but that's because in the post it says, can you tell that this was AI? If you didn't put that, if it just posted the image, people would probably, why is he posting that bland image?
01:37:21.000So I just heard on, I was listening to the All In podcast that Tesla had a breakthrough with connecting GPUs.
01:37:30.000They had only been able, they thought that it was only possible to connect to like 40,000 of the big NVIDIA GPUs.
01:37:37.000They reworked the way that they connect them from the ground up and they managed to, and when I say connect, I mean connect and be functioning and thinking the same, like thinking about the same topic all at the same time or working on the same problem all at the same time.
01:37:51.000Tesla's reworked the way that they connected them, essentially.
01:38:10.000So like I said, these are the new ones.
01:38:11.000So if they can connect 200 or 500, half a million or a million, like that's going to be, I mean, if general artificial intelligence is on the table, it looks like Tesla is going to be the company that does it.
01:38:26.000I think you, instead of being what is a general processing unit, graphics processing unit, it'll start to take on the definition of universe.
01:42:19.000People always say, like, how come criminals are so dumb?
01:42:21.000You always hear these ridiculous stories like the dude...
01:42:24.000Kept his backpack with his manifesto and all the evidence and the weapon on himself and was traveling around looking, not changing his appearance.
01:42:40.000Alright, the Sig P says, Trump should pardon him on a slow news day and make the left try and find a way to spin that into a bad for the lulls.
01:42:48.000I don't know about pardoning a violent murderer like that, though.
01:42:59.000I'm a based furry who is bad enough at video games to be funny, but not so bad that it's frustrating.
01:43:05.000Well, like I said, you know, I don't agree with it, but as long as you're telling people to do the correct political things, I don't know that I agree with the furry stuff, but...
01:43:18.000I believe that overwhelmingly furries are suffering from a psychological identity disorder based on watching anthropomorphized animals on TV. Yeah, probably.
01:45:48.000David Manning says, took a huge step and used all my savings, but got the machines to start manufacturing and making my rubber PVC patches in Missouri instead of China.
01:45:56.000Overseas, like everyone else, made in America again.
01:47:19.000When the local cops would not arrest the Attilus Gym owners over COVID lockdown, the city brought in cops from another city over who said, don't know, don't care, I don't live here.
01:48:47.000If you live, I don't know, in like the Yukon territory and there is nothing to eat but lichen and you're struggling and you are with 30 other people, anarchy could work relatively fine in small communities where everybody is in a small tribe and genuinely just agrees with the people anarchy could work relatively fine in small communities where everybody is in a small tribe and genuinely But it doesn't work in large scale environments.
01:49:10.000It's impossible because you can't know everybody.
01:49:13.000What is it they say after like 150 people is when everything breaks down?
01:49:41.000Well, when he was a kid, Temujin, he and his brothers would go hunt, and his eldest brother would take most of the meat for himself, because he was like, I did most of the work.
01:49:48.000And they were like, well, that's not going to fly, so they assassinated their own brother.
01:49:51.000The brothers got together and killed the guy, because he kept taking food from the family.
01:50:40.000Desert Rebel says, if anyone has angst over the healthcare industry, then you should be directing 90% of your ire at politicians who passed the Affordable Care Act.
01:50:47.000That over-regulated the industry and blew up costs.
01:50:49.000I remember when they launched the health marketplace website, and then they told me if I didn't get healthcare, which I couldn't afford, my taxes would be higher.
01:51:33.000BATM Media says, if you have the power to help someone and you elect not to, especially for something as capricious as profitability, you are effectively killing them.
01:51:44.000Like I said the other day, if I understand correctly, not that I'm standing health insurance companies, but their margin is something like 2% or 3%.
01:51:53.000They're constantly paying out for people.
01:51:56.000Yeah, because think about how much they have to pay the hospital.
01:51:59.000I don't know if I made this point earlier, but I think when you really break down the problem in our healthcare system, it's not that the insurance companies are the problem.
01:52:05.000It's that the hospitals are charging like $100,000, $200,000.
01:52:09.000How's the insurance company supposed to pay that with their margins?
01:52:11.000So I think it really boils back from the beginning.
01:52:14.000That's the root of the problem, I would argue.
01:52:17.000And that's exactly why I said the problem is the fact that there's no marketplace.
01:52:20.000The market is what will drive costs down.
01:52:24.000I mean, I know that it's not popular to be like, look, man, the dude's making a lot of money, but...
01:52:32.000The company itself, the margin isn't huge.
01:52:35.000People don't care about margin at all.
01:52:37.000The only thing they see is the gross number that they're talking about.
01:52:44.000There was some guy on Twitter the other day that was complaining about it, and they called the guy a billionaire CEO. And it's like, look, the only people that are billionaire CEOs are people...
01:52:54.000That invent something or start the company and own the company.
01:52:58.000Because to get to billionaire, you have to own the whole company.
01:53:01.000There are no CEOs of health insurance companies that are billionaires.
01:53:05.000I looked up the guys, looked up the info on the guy, and he makes like, he's worth like $40 million.
01:53:38.000Yeah, he's getting a $10 million a year salary.
01:53:40.000And I'm like, that is a lot of money, but the media industry makes so much more.
01:53:46.000And it's like the fact that there were so many people that are saying that the healthcare industry is the same as the pharmaceutical industry.
01:54:01.000Pharmaceuticals are the ones ripping off, oftentimes, the healthcare insurance companies.
01:54:05.000And they're talking about, you know, oh, he's a billionaire CEO. He's not.
01:54:09.000There are people that are motivated by anger and they're completely ignorant about the realities of the situation that they're talking about, but they're pissed off because they don't have...
01:54:20.000Someone they know couldn't get coverage or whatever.
01:54:22.000And I totally understand why they would be mad about that.
01:54:25.000But it doesn't change the fact that you're ignorant about what's going on.
01:54:29.000The context of the health insurance industry and why the person didn't get coverage and stuff.
01:54:35.000And to sit there and be like, it's good they killed this guy when you're speaking from a position of ignorance is totally wrong.
01:54:41.000It's almost like it's a complicated system and just shooting one guy is not going to fix it, right?
01:54:46.000All it did was make sure we can't know who the leadership teams are.
01:54:50.000They've obfuscated who the people are at the top, and they've hired massive security.
01:54:54.000They're going to demand higher pay because they're going to say it's a risky job and people are threatening us, so I want more money for this job, and they're going to drive up premiums to cover the cost of CEO demand because the companies can't exist without CEOs.
01:55:26.000I remember I was hanging out in New York with some friends, and we were skating, and I just look up at this skyscraper, and I thought to myself, the managerial power that is required to make that building is insane.
01:55:39.000I'm talking about you need someone to plan the building, someone to plan the finances, you need someone to plan the construction, labor, the day-to-day operations.
01:55:47.000It is an immense amount of organization managerial power.
01:55:51.000So I'm watching Tulsa King and they're just like, you know, here's what we should do.
01:55:54.000We should expand our business and move it to a bigger location and add a bunch of stuff to it.
01:56:03.000Steve Jobs, there's a cool video going around of him talking about management, and he's like, when we started at Apple, we just were like, let's just hire management.
01:56:11.000So they hired a bunch of professional managers, and they knew how to manage, but they were terrible at everything else, and they were dysfunctional.
01:56:18.000And he said, the best managers are the ones that have no interest in managing, but they're so good at what they do that they have to in order to make it work.
01:56:27.000The crazy thing is that dude who got arrested, Luigi Mangione, now has 230,000 followers on X. He had a couple hundred, then people found his account, now they're following him.
01:56:38.000And one of his last tweets was reposting a Huberman podcast.
01:57:38.000I mean, what's being generated in our economy?
01:57:40.000And this is why I would not be surprised if there's a very big recession and they're going to blame Trump for it, but sometime next year, because they keep saying, oh, the economy's doing great.
01:58:04.000New York, it's cold, it's wet, and people really, when fights break out with cops, they usually just push each other and then the cops arrest them and that's about it.
01:58:12.000I've only ever seen a few instances of very serious violence.
01:58:15.000A cop was fighting with a protester and bashed his head into a glass door and shattered the glass.
01:58:39.000And the cops literally just say, like, hey, they'll surround a wide area and then slowly move the cops in until the protesters are trapped on one block.
01:58:46.000The protesters will all march down one street.
01:58:48.000The cops will then line up vehicles and cops at the end of that street.
01:58:51.000The protesters get to it, turn around, the cops are there.
01:58:54.000Then the cops slowly move in, and then they arrest everybody.
01:58:57.000Also, could you imagine trying to loot the store of, like, some Italian bodega owner in New York?
01:59:04.000And the guy was—the guy—that bodega owner was about to get stabbed, and then he grabbed the knife and stabbed the other guy, and they arrested him for it.
01:59:40.000I'm like, obviously, if you stand in the street, they're going to wrap you up and you're going on a wagon.
01:59:45.000And so I jumped into the bodega with the group.
01:59:47.000The group, being a bunch of morons, tried to exit out the other side door.
01:59:52.000So there was a side door, the orange netting, and then another door.
01:59:57.000What I did was as soon as I got in, I calmly and slowly walked to the back and started perusing their fine choice of ice creams and just looked around at the ice cream.
02:00:04.000The cops opened the door and grabbed the protesters and arrested them all while I sat there looking at the ice creams and then turned around and went, oh, whoa, what's going on?
02:00:39.000Well, there was a problem in New York where— Using fine steel.
02:00:41.000When they did this, they did one of these kettles in the early days of Occupy, and some middle-aged bald dude in a suit walked out with an orange Fanta.
02:00:48.000And when he walked out of the door, the netting was around— The door of the bodega.
02:00:53.000And he looks around and he's like, what's going on?
02:00:54.000And the cops are like, everybody, you're all under arrest.
02:00:56.000And he's like, he walked with a cop and he was like, I'm just taking off work.
02:01:04.000And he ended up getting, like, he had to call his work and be like, I was going to get a drink and they arrested me because I was standing there.
