Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Democrats Run INSANE Hitler HOAX As Forecasts Say Trump 2024 WIN w-Brandon Buckingham | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:29.000 OBS not working, huh? 0.99

00:00:31.000 What's the delay?

00:00:32.000 Well, no, no, no, the Stream Deck doesn't work.

00:00:36.000 Welcome to the show, everybody!

00:00:37.000 Yeah, we're having Stream Deck problems, but it's cool because we're here.

00:00:40.000 And we got fancy news for yous.

00:00:43.000 October Surprise, I guess, they're running this hoax.

00:00:45.000 Kamala Harris comes out, gives a press conference where she's like, Donald Trump says he wants generals like Hitler.

00:00:51.000 Yeah, the only thing is, it's anonymous sources.

00:00:52.000 The conversation allegedly happened a long time ago, and no one believes it actually happened.

00:00:56.000 The story is largely debunked by people who are in and around this.

00:01:00.000 Staffers who work with Trump said, this conversation never happened.

00:01:02.000 And they're trying to besmirch his good name over a fallen soldier whose family is like, this never happened, and we are supporting Donald Trump.

00:01:09.000 They're claiming that Trump was grumbling because he was like, did I agree to pay for this funeral?

00:01:13.000 It's so expensive.

00:01:13.000 Yeah.

00:01:14.000 Yeah, absolutely nuts.

00:01:15.000 Well, following this, Donald Trump has slammed Kamala Harris for fanning the flames of violence. 1.00

00:01:20.000 And sure enough, we got a bunch of stories for you.

00:01:23.000 Charlie Kirk apparently had someone was threatening them got arrested.

00:01:26.000 We've got breaking reports, this crazy video of a woman going to someone's house and screaming at him.

00:01:31.000 Yeah, we got we had to chill everything out.

00:01:33.000 And we and we'll talk about that.

00:01:34.000 But we also have Polly Market.

00:01:36.000 Once again, we're keeping up with the latest because we are less than two weeks out from election day.

00:01:40.000 We are in election month, whatever that means, I guess.

00:01:43.000 So it's going to be hot, to say the least.

00:01:46.000 And we'll get into all the latest stories and details pertaining to the election and those polls.

00:01:50.000 Before we do, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy Cast Brew coffee.

00:01:53.000 Why?

00:01:53.000 It's good.

00:01:54.000 Appalachian Nights, everybody's favorite.

00:01:56.000 Rise with Alberto Jr.

00:01:57.000 It's a breakfast blend.

00:01:58.000 It's a light roast.

00:01:59.000 Very good.

00:01:59.000 And then we got Colombian, appears to be sold out.

00:02:01.000 That's unfortunate.

00:02:02.000 But of course, there's always Ian's graphene dream.

00:02:05.000 If you ever wonder what it was like to be in the mind of Ian, drink this coffee.

00:02:07.000 I'm kidding.

00:02:08.000 There's nothing wrong with the coffee.

00:02:09.000 It's normal coffee, so you wouldn't actually be in his mind.

00:02:11.000 But it does taste good, and it's low acidity, and everybody likes it.

00:02:14.000 And of course, you can head over to boonieshq.com and pick up a Boonies skateboard.

00:02:20.000 We are sold.

00:02:21.000 Aw, man, we're sold out of Step on Snack and Find Out.

00:02:24.000 It's great that we sold out, but we will have more in stock soon.

00:02:27.000 However, I have good news.

00:02:29.000 The boobies is still available.

00:02:31.000 So if you're a fan of the blue-footed boobies board, which everybody loves, we have sold like 300 of these already.

00:02:37.000 There are still several sizes left, but they're going quickly.

00:02:40.000 And then, of course, we've got a Mr.

00:02:42.000 Bokas skateboard, if you're a fan of the show, and the Tim Pool rooster board.

00:03:08.000 So...

00:03:09.000 I know this is going to come as a shock to a lot of the liberals out there.

00:03:13.000 I just want to say...

00:03:16.000 October 25th, membersonlytimcast.com.

00:03:19.000 We have a behind-the-scenes with Josh Sider and Alex Stein.

00:03:23.000 Before we start the show, you should probably take a hint of that.

00:03:27.000 That's Josh Sider wiping off his makeup.

00:03:27.000 And that's it.

00:03:30.000 For those who don't know, this is a guy who for five months said that he was trans, followed all the rules of gender ideology, and was still attacked and insulted over this.

00:03:38.000 We have a behind-the-scenes look at the big reveal with his explanation and another behind-the-scenes explanation.

00:03:45.000 Information and video and circumstances, so become a member at TimCast.com to watch that, and that'll be up on Friday, I believe at around 11am, so definitely want to check that out.

00:03:58.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Brandon Buckingham.

00:04:01.000 Thank you so much for having me, Tim.

00:04:02.000 Who are you?

00:04:03.000 I'm a YouTuber.

00:04:03.000 What do you do?

00:04:04.000 I guess you could call me an on-the-ground journalist or just some guy who fucks around with a camera. 0.98

00:04:09.000 But yeah, lately I've been traveling all across the world and America and filming different communities, people, and sometimes just fucking around and drinking in the streets. 0.97

00:04:18.000 You've seen some pretty crazy stuff.

00:04:20.000 Yeah, no one's heard from me for a while.

00:04:22.000 So, yeah, I was recently involved in a shooting in Chicago where six gunmen hopped out on us at three in the morning and they had switches, emptied their guns.

00:04:31.000 Full auto!

00:04:32.000 Yeah, I was with five other people.

00:04:33.000 Four of them got hit, one of which was my cameraman.

00:04:36.000 A bullet hit him in the neck.

00:04:37.000 Why did they do that?

00:04:39.000 Well, I think as my channel is growing, when I link up with rappers or gang members and I do a piece about them, the rival side or the opposing side then paints me as the enemy.

00:04:51.000 I don't think I was targeted necessarily, but...

00:04:53.000 This is 100% true.

00:04:54.000 I remember when Vice had gone down and interviewed a bunch of gangs in Chicago and I straight up told them, I was like, you guys are going to be marked by the rival gangs.

00:05:03.000 You're giving cred and visibility exposure to...

00:05:07.000 A faction that is at odds with another faction.

00:05:09.000 But we'll talk about all that.

00:05:10.000 So, pretty wild.

00:05:11.000 Glad to have you here.

00:05:12.000 We got Ian hanging out.

00:05:13.000 Hey, guys.

00:05:14.000 Good to be here, man.

00:05:14.000 Ian Crossland.

00:05:15.000 You probably know me by now if you watch the show.

00:05:17.000 Very happy to be here.

00:05:18.000 Musician, actor.

00:05:19.000 Let's rock and roll, baby.

00:05:20.000 Hello, everybody.

00:05:21.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:05:22.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:05:24.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:05:27.000 Let's get into it.

00:05:27.000 We got the story from CNBC. Harris blasts Trump on reported Hitler comments, says he wants unchecked power.

00:05:35.000 Really?

00:05:36.000 I'm just, this is, it's so tiring.

00:05:39.000 It's absurd.

00:05:40.000 It makes no sense.

00:05:42.000 The story's been refuted.

00:05:43.000 There's no evidence.

00:05:44.000 There's no sources.

00:05:47.000 Let me tell you guys, you don't need to hear it from me.

00:05:50.000 A lot of people like Donald Trump.

00:05:51.000 They're not going to believe it anyway.

00:05:52.000 But for anybody out there who doesn't like Donald Trump, news organizations used to require three sources if they didn't have direct evidence.

00:05:59.000 That means if you were going to try to claim that Trump said that he wanted generals like Hitler had, which is the claim they're making...

00:06:07.000 You would need three individuals on the record saying, independently and individually, I was there, here's what happened.

00:06:14.000 That way you could say, hey, we got three people.

00:06:16.000 Now what they do is they're like, I heard this guy.

00:06:18.000 I ain't telling you who it is, by the way, but he claims this thing happened.

00:06:21.000 Then when you get an on-the-record dispute, they still run the story.

00:06:25.000 Take a look at this from The Atlantic.

00:06:27.000 The Atlantic ran the story Trump.

00:06:29.000 I need the kind of generals that Hitler had. 1.00

00:06:31.000 The Republican nominee's preoccupation with dictators and disdain for the American military is deepening.

00:06:34.000 This is fake news, and unfortunately there are people who don't know how to parse through this.

00:06:40.000 When we scroll down, we'll get to the point where they actually try and run the quote.

00:06:44.000 They say the personal qualities displayed by Trump in his reaction to the cost of the Guillen funeral.

00:06:51.000 Contempt, rage, parsimony, racism, hardly surprise his inner circle.

00:06:55.000 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:06:56.000 They say as his presidency drew to a close and in the years since, he has become more and more interested in the advantages of dictatorship and the absolute control over the military that he believes it would deliver.

00:07:05.000 Quote, I need the kind of generals that Hitler had, Trump said in a private conversation in the White House, according to two people who heard him say this.

00:07:13.000 Quote, people who were totally loyal to him that follow orders.

00:07:17.000 And then they add in parentheses, quote, this is absolutely false.

00:07:20.000 Pfeiffer wrote in an email, President Trump never said this.

00:07:23.000 So let me ask you a question.

00:07:24.000 You got a guy on the record quoted who said that never happened.

00:07:28.000 And we're supposed to believe that two random people we don't know who claim it did happen.

00:07:33.000 And that's good information.

00:07:35.000 Good enough for the public to believe.

00:07:36.000 I love it.

00:07:37.000 Hearsay.

00:07:38.000 Just say anything all the time.

00:07:39.000 He said, she said, run the story.

00:07:42.000 They have Trump, in quotes, saying something that was overheard.

00:07:45.000 That's great.

00:07:45.000 I don't even think that this is about trying to convince voters.

00:07:50.000 I think this is preparing the landscape for a Trump win and some kind of illegal action afterwards to prevent Trump from taking office.

00:07:58.000 So all this...

00:07:59.000 All of the Trump is, because they've gone, they've tried these tactics before and they haven't worked.

00:08:04.000 They're not really effective.

00:08:06.000 All they do is they gin up their base, but they don't convince anyone.

00:08:11.000 Like your average, if you're an undecided voter, you've heard this story a million times in the past 10 years or, you know, eight years or whatever.

00:08:21.000 It's not compelling.

00:08:22.000 If it wasn't compelling in 2016, 17, 18, then it's not compelling now.

00:08:27.000 Especially seeing as the general opinion on Trump has softened to people in the middle.

00:08:35.000 So now, this isn't about trying to convince people.

00:08:38.000 It's about preparing the landscape for some kind of action should Trump win.

00:08:43.000 And I think that this is what you're going to see going until the election because the Harris campaign doesn't think that they can actually convince voters anymore.

00:08:53.000 They tried calling Trump racist, and it didn't work, but it did get clicks.

00:08:58.000 They then called him the most racist, and it didn't work, but it did get them clicks. 0.80

00:09:01.000 And then they tried saying, he's almost as bad as Hitler.

00:09:05.000 Got clicks, but they got to keep escalating it.

00:09:07.000 So eventually got to the point where they said he is Hitler.

00:09:09.000 Then he's worse than Hitler. 0.93

00:09:10.000 Now he wants to have generals that are just like Hitler.

00:09:12.000 But here's my favorite.

00:09:13.000 The Atlantic wrote this only, I think this was last week.

00:09:16.000 What is this?

00:09:16.000 October 18th.

00:09:17.000 Trump is speaking like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini.

00:09:20.000 Ah, yes. 0.94

00:09:22.000 That would make him a fascist communazi. 0.91

00:09:25.000 If they want to combine all of those dictators, he's a fascist communazi.

00:09:29.000 I don't know how those things come together.

00:09:31.000 But they're basically saying he is speaking like a dictator.

00:09:35.000 We get it.

00:09:36.000 Now, Hitler didn't work. 0.92

00:09:37.000 So they're like, what if we add Stalin and Mussolini to that as well?

00:09:41.000 I mean, maybe that scares people.

00:09:42.000 I like including him.

00:09:43.000 That's good.

00:09:44.000 Just like a fruit punch of dictators that Trump could be like.

00:09:44.000 Yeah.

00:09:47.000 Yeah.

00:09:48.000 Not just Hitler. 0.74

00:09:49.000 Not just Hitler. 0.74

00:09:50.000 You know, because as conservatives come out and said, you know, the communists were bad, too.

00:09:53.000 They killed tens of millions, hundred million plus people. 0.55

00:09:55.000 They were like, OK, we'll just put Hitler and a communist and then include a fascist.

00:09:58.000 What did he say?

00:10:00.000 Grab your mic, Ian.

00:10:01.000 Thanks, man.

00:10:02.000 Thanks for reminding me, sir.

00:10:03.000 You're not wearing your headphones.

00:10:04.000 That's a good point.

00:10:05.000 I haven't been wearing them lately.

00:10:06.000 What did he say?

00:10:08.000 That they think he sounds like Hitler, Mussolini.

00:10:11.000 Now, Hitler did kind of sound like Mussolini.

00:10:12.000 Mussolini was his idol.

00:10:13.000 He idolized the guy and he kind of, you know, garnered the Nazi fascist regime after Mussolini's regime.

00:10:19.000 He kind of based it off of it.

00:10:21.000 But Stalin, I mean, dictator speaks like dictator, maybe.

00:10:24.000 What was Trump...

00:10:26.000 I don't think that it matters.

00:10:29.000 It's not about what Trump said.

00:10:31.000 Like I said, it doesn't matter what Trump does.

00:10:34.000 This isn't about Trump and it's not about the election.

00:10:36.000 This is about preparing the landscape so that way they can justify saying he's so bad we can't allow him to take office.

00:10:44.000 I think Civil War.

00:10:47.000 I'm jumping right to 11, but let me tell you why real quick, because I don't want to just leave it there.

00:10:51.000 It's because right now, Democrats are leading in early voting, but Republicans have made massive gains.

00:10:59.000 Republicans are expected to win on Election Day.

00:11:00.000 This means that Democrats and Republicans have two different elections at the same time.

00:11:07.000 The idea that you can have a day of election, Republicans are like, on election day, we all go vote.

00:11:11.000 And Democrats are like, we can collect votes throughout the month.

00:11:14.000 Those are two completely different systems operating in parallel at different times, and then we compare the numbers and see which side got more.

00:11:23.000 Republicans recently started participating in absentee and mail-in voting more so, and so they have massive gains now.

00:11:28.000 So right now what they're saying is because Republicans are closing the gap in absentee and mail-in, it's expected that Republicans are going to win based on the data we already have from the Democrat version of what an election is.

00:11:38.000 However, if there's still only 5 million Republican voters, I mean a hypothetical number, and 2.5 million vote early, 2.5 million will vote on day of.

00:11:47.000 So if we're seeing Republicans embrace mail-in and early voting now, it doesn't necessarily mean there will be more votes on Election Day.

00:11:54.000 But the reason why I said Civil War is I think it's important people actually consider.

00:11:57.000 What I see with what you're saying, Phil, how they're laying out the framework for what comes it's not about the election, it's about what comes after We've talked about in the past that when Trump tries to deport all of these illegal immigrants, they're going to start running photos of buses, of trains, of the military operation, of police, and they're going to juxtapose them with World War II and Holocaust photos and say, see, we told you.

00:12:21.000 They're going to use all of this to prime and prep the people who live in Democrat weirdo world who believe these things, despite them being unsourced.

00:12:29.000 It's nonsense.

00:12:30.000 And then you have the fact that I think it's fair to say Republicans come out and they go election day is November 5th and the Constitution prescribes a single day for voting.

00:12:39.000 And Democrats go, we don't care.

00:12:41.000 We're going to vote all month and collect ballots and then turn them in nine days afterwards so you can count them.

00:12:47.000 And then 13 days after the election, determine who won.

00:12:49.000 Those are two completely different systems.

00:12:52.000 Republicans tolerate the Democrats' version of events and then consider their outside of the rules numbers.

00:12:57.000 This is also in conjunction with, I believe it was DOD Directive 5240.01, which is allowing the intelligence apparatus to work in conjunction with law enforcement.

00:13:15.000 One of the key points, it says, the directive outlines policies for intelligence components support to law enforcement agencies, including potential use of lethal force.

00:13:24.000 Now, this is inside the United States, right?

00:13:26.000 These are things that are supposed to be prohibited by the Constitution.

00:13:29.000 CIA is not supposed to operate in the U.S. But this, the Directive 5240.01 says, It's an internal Department of Defense policy document that details procedures for DOD intelligence components assistance to U.S. law enforcement.

00:13:46.000 The directive has undergone revisions with some of the most recent versions published on September 27, 2024.

00:13:53.000 Rumors have circulated about a reissued directive allegedly targeting individuals who raise concerns about U.S. government activities.

00:14:00.000 That's Elon Musk.

00:14:01.000 That's Joe Rogan.

00:14:02.000 That's us here.

00:14:04.000 That is...

00:14:07.000 You think so?

00:14:07.000 I'm kidding.

00:14:09.000 People that raise concerns about government activities?

00:14:12.000 That's the quote?

00:14:13.000 Yeah, the 2016 version of the DOD... That's the point of the United States.

00:14:16.000 There is a concern against government.

00:14:17.000 I'm aware.

00:14:18.000 The 2016 version of the DOD Manual 5240.01, published on August 8, 2016, focuses on intelligence oversight, ensuring independent monitoring of intelligence activities within the DOD, The 2020 update to the 2007 issuance of the directive and the 2016 manual are mentioned as points of comparison, with some speculating about language differences and potential implications.

00:14:18.000 Let me go through this.

00:14:43.000 The point is they've authorized the DOD and intelligence apparatus, that would be CIA, working in conjunction with law enforcement.

00:14:54.000 That's to target American citizens, which is it's supposed to be off limits. 0.79

00:14:59.000 But this in conjunction with the stuff that they're saying that Kamala Harris has said today, the ad, the narrative that's being spun, I don't think that it's far fetched to say that they're going to do something should Trump win to prevent him from taking office.

00:15:17.000 And honestly, like I said, everybody that's in the podcasting space, everyone that's a dissenting voice, we'll all have targets on our back, too.

00:15:25.000 Well, the entire United States is a dissenting voice against government.

00:15:28.000 That's not true at all.

00:15:29.000 That's the whole purpose, is it's a revolution against...

00:15:31.000 I understand that...

00:15:33.000 We are talking about the United States government.

00:15:36.000 We are in constant revolution.

00:15:37.000 Our government is a constant revolution.

00:15:39.000 You're derailing a serious conversation.

00:15:40.000 They can target anybody, dude.

00:15:42.000 You understand what that means?

00:15:43.000 Anyone that complains about the government.

00:15:45.000 This is not a derailment.

00:15:47.000 Tim, I was going to call you Tim because I'm so used to it.

00:15:49.000 The point is, this is specifically going to be targeting people that don't support the general narrative.

00:15:57.000 They're not going to target MSNBC. Well, you're assuming that, but you're probably right.

00:16:00.000 But still, they could.

00:16:02.000 They're not going to target MSNBC. They're not going to target people in the administration.

00:16:05.000 They're not going to target NBC. The point of

00:16:35.000 this stuff is to prepare the landscape.

00:16:38.000 So they say Donald Trump is the big Hitler. 0.99

00:16:40.000 Donald Trump is super Hitler. 0.78

00:16:42.000 And then after that, if they go ahead and throw him in jail, which I totally believe they will do if Kamala Harris wins.

00:16:49.000 And if not, I think that they will try to throw him in jail and say that he didn't win the election or they'll say that he's some kind of threat or something like that.

00:16:58.000 And I don't have any kind of evidence or anything, but that's just my gut feeling.

00:17:02.000 But there's no...

00:17:03.000 I mean, why wouldn't they?

00:17:05.000 They've lied about people.

00:17:06.000 They threw a boatload of people in jail after January 6th.

00:17:09.000 Steve Bannon's still in jail right now.

00:17:11.000 They put Roger Stone in jail.

00:17:13.000 They're trying to put Trump in jail using any means they have.

00:17:18.000 Why wouldn't they try to toss people in jail? 0.91

00:17:21.000 Biden yesterday said we need to put him away or something.

00:17:23.000 Yeah.

00:17:24.000 Lock him up.

00:17:25.000 Politically, which is what?

00:17:26.000 A political prison?

00:17:27.000 No, no, no.

00:17:27.000 He said, we need to lock him up.

00:17:28.000 The whole crowd starts clapping and cheering, and then he goes, politically lock him up.

00:17:31.000 Which is still like a political imprisonment.

00:17:33.000 It's still an imprisonment.

00:17:34.000 A lot of people for political reasons.

00:17:38.000 Politically lock him up.

00:17:39.000 That's even worse, actually.

00:17:40.000 They've put a lot of people in prison, and I don't see any reason for them to stop, especially if Kamala Harris wins. 0.75

00:17:47.000 They'll feel like they have a mandate.

00:17:49.000 Don't you feel like some of this labeling is losing its power, though, like everyone being literally Hitler all the time?

00:17:53.000 It's not about getting people to believe it.

00:17:56.000 It's about creating a narrative that justifies action.

00:18:00.000 It doesn't matter, because the people that are Kamala Harris supporters, people that are Democrat supporters, they already believe this.

00:18:07.000 Yeah, they're going to eat it up.

00:18:07.000 They'll eat it up.

00:18:08.000 So what they're doing isn't trying to convince people.

00:18:10.000 Like I said, this isn't about getting votes.

00:18:12.000 This isn't about convincing the very, very narrow margin or the very few people that are undecided.

00:18:19.000 This is about creating a narrative that will justify actions that are illegal, justify actions that would go contrary to the vote should Donald Trump win.

00:18:29.000 It's about preparing the landscape for action.

00:18:32.000 It's not about convincing anyone of anything.

00:18:34.000 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

00:18:35.000 I mean, I was at January 6th all day, and they talk about the insurrectionists, the white supremacists that were there.

00:18:40.000 And I thought that the news coverage of that was shocking compared to my on-the-ground perspective of what I saw on January 6th.

00:18:47.000 And yeah, I'm happy I didn't walk in that building.

00:18:49.000 I'll say that, because it was easy.

00:18:51.000 You could have walked right in.

00:18:52.000 It seemed like they were just letting people in.

00:18:53.000 Yeah, I'm happy that I was as posting from New Hampshire.

00:18:56.000 I want to jump to this tweet that we got from Jen Kueger of the Young Turks.

00:18:59.000 He tweeted this out today.

00:19:00.000 I have never seen both sides of an election this confident.

00:19:04.000 One of them is very wrong.

00:19:05.000 Both sides are in their own bubble and don't realize there is a reality outside of those bubbles.

00:19:09.000 So whoever loses is going to be absolutely shocked.

00:19:12.000 Kamala Harris was losing in six out of the last seven polls in Michigan, but now she's up by four in that state in the last poll. 0.98

00:19:19.000 This thing keeps swinging back and forth.

00:19:21.000 I've never seen it so unpredictable.

00:19:23.000 You know, I'll be nice because I think he's on the right track, but Cenk Uygur, I don't think he has a mind for this space.

00:19:31.000 It is true that no one knows what's going to happen, but Trump supporters absolutely are not sitting here screaming, we've got this one in the bag.

00:19:40.000 In fact, despite the polls and Polymark and everything favoring Trump, they're screaming, everyone get out and vote, get everyone to vote because there's going to be some shenanigans.

00:19:47.000 We've got to swamp the vote.

00:19:48.000 There is still fear within Republicans they're going to lose.

00:19:51.000 And despite the fact that poly market has Trump at right now, 61.7, a common list is 38.5.

00:19:58.000 Real clear politics has Trump winning every single battleground state and all battleground states in aggregate.

00:20:03.000 Democrats are still saying we're going to win.

00:20:06.000 And it may not be because they're deluded.

00:20:06.000 We're going to win.

00:20:08.000 It's because they have to say it.

00:20:10.000 They can't drop the morale of their voter base by saying there's no point.

00:20:14.000 Don't even bother.

00:20:15.000 So certainly there are elements of both sides that are confident.

00:20:21.000 But I think what we're seeing here with the polls, polymarket, is the general view of the public is that Donald Trump and the Republicans are going to win and win bigly, but no one knows for sure I think it's fair to say, if Democrats are claiming they're going to win, it is because they're intentionally ignoring the reality of this.

00:20:42.000 So to say it's both sides and it's swinging back and forth and nobody knows is totally wrong.

00:20:47.000 But at least someone on the right track.

00:20:49.000 You know, I heard about Chuck Uyghur. 0.97

00:20:51.000 I heard he was literally Hitler. 0.83

00:20:53.000 I heard that too.

00:20:54.000 Isn't that crazy?

00:20:55.000 Let me show you.

00:20:57.000 A source close to YouTube told me that he was literally Hitler.

00:21:02.000 So was his nephew as well.

00:21:03.000 You have a YouTube channel?

00:21:04.000 Yeah.

00:21:05.000 Take a look at this from the battlegrounds.

00:21:06.000 Trump is up 0.9.

00:21:08.000 So he says, like, what did he say?

00:21:09.000 Michigan?

00:21:10.000 He says Kamala was up and was down in the polls in Michigan.

00:21:13.000 OK, well, in Michigan right now, Trump is up point two in aggregate.

00:21:16.000 And if we jump in, he is correct that Quinnipiac has plus four for Kamala Harris.

00:21:20.000 But around the exact same time frame, Trafalgar has Trump up to these polls are largely meaningless.

00:21:27.000 It's fair to say no one knows for sure.

00:21:29.000 Hence, Republicans are screaming, get as many people to vote as possible.

00:21:33.000 But what happens?

00:21:35.000 Well, my thoughts are, I've been studying imperial strategy a lot lately.

00:21:39.000 1947 is when the British Empire technically ended.

00:21:42.000 After World War II, they basically turned it into the liberal economic order.

00:21:45.000 They're like, we're done with this, like, having an emperor guy control it.

00:21:47.000 We're just going to make a liberal economic order controlled by the CIA and MI6. So, like, I was studying...

00:21:52.000 CIA didn't exist in 1947.

00:21:54.000 Well, 1949 is when they officially launched it, but it was around, it had a different name, like, since the 30s or something.

00:22:02.000 1975, there's the Australian coup.

00:22:04.000 I don't know if you guys have really ever studied this, but they appointed a governor general to overthrow this Australian prime minister that was, Go was his name, and he wanted to get out of Vietnam and take away Pine Gap from American sovereignty.

00:22:16.000 He wanted, he's like, Australia first, and they're like, no, that can't happen.

00:22:19.000 Empire must succeed.

00:22:20.000 So the CIA got this governor general, got the king to appoint him.

00:22:25.000 It's basically like late-stage Roman Republic where the Praetorian Guard's in control of the emperor.

00:22:31.000 And if the emperor crosses them, he's done for it.

00:22:33.000 Are you suggesting that polls and predictions are meaningless because the deep state will put Kamala in?

00:22:38.000 Yes.

00:22:38.000 And I think that they like closeness because it makes good media attention to think it's within two.

00:22:43.000 It makes Republicans think we have a fighting chance if we keep pushing.

00:22:46.000 And the CIA is controlling the game.

00:22:47.000 And I think that they're going to, it's just, it's stacked against us.

00:22:51.000 I mean, I'd still think go out and vote because Donald Trump did win in 2016, but they didn't feel threatened against him in 2016, whoever they are.

00:22:57.000 This strategy, this imperial strategy.

00:22:59.000 You know, it'd be really funny or crads.

00:23:00.000 It would be really funny if Trump was supposed to win on the merits, but the Democrats, the deep state, was cheating to install Hillary. 1.00

00:23:09.000 But then the Russians pressed the button turning off their computer so that Trump actually won on the merits.

00:23:15.000 And then they were like, oh crap, it was the Russians, but the Russians actually didn't cheat to help Trump. 0.61

00:23:19.000 You know what I mean? 0.95

00:23:20.000 Like a multi-layered conspiracy of conflicting intelligence agencies from Russia to the U.S. We need to stop them from cheating.

00:23:26.000 And they're like, they're stopping us.

00:23:28.000 Exactly.

00:23:29.000 Because of Russia, we lost, but we were cheating. 0.89

00:23:31.000 I'm not saying that happened.

00:23:32.000 I'm saying, wouldn't it be funny if what actually happened is that Trump did win, but Democrats were going to press a button to flip the votes to support Hillary, but then the Russians flipped a button to flip their votes back, so Trump ended up winning normally, and then they were like, how did we not win?

00:23:46.000 The rigors.

00:23:47.000 It's rigged.

00:23:49.000 It does feel like we're part of a pre-planned thing.

00:23:54.000 But Trump winning in 2016 gave me, outside of that perspective, I consider this a form of being black-pilled.

00:24:00.000 Being like, look, the CIA runs the show.

00:24:02.000 It always has.

00:24:02.000 Kennedy got offed.

00:24:04.000 They overthrew the prime minister in Australia in 1975.

00:24:08.000 He wasn't serving the king or whoever's running the show, MI6. I don't know, man.

00:24:14.000 I think Trump does represent American sovereignty in the sense he kind of gives like business first, local economics first, and that there's like a global governance scheme that's kind of like trying to position and control the world through economics and military force if they have to.

00:24:31.000 And Trump's kind of like...

00:24:32.000 When you say control the world through economics, what do you...

00:24:35.000 Well, they want this liberal economic dollar to run the show.

00:24:39.000 What is your concern about that?

00:24:43.000 The vulnerability of fiat currency, that if they can print as much as they want and bribe people, like bribe countries and buy them.

00:24:51.000 Okay, so I understand that the goal for a lot of countries or for the United States is to have people use the dollar, because that props up the dollar and allows them to overspend and stuff like that.

00:25:04.000 Do you believe that that is for nefarious intent?

00:25:08.000 And if you do, why?

00:25:10.000 Yeah, the USAID, it's basically the central cortex of the empire.

00:25:10.000 Why?

00:25:16.000 You know, it's called USAID. I don't know where it stands.

00:25:19.000 It doesn't mean aid.

00:25:20.000 Do you guys familiar with it off the top of your heads?

00:25:22.000 No, it's your story.

00:25:23.000 It's the Agency for International Development, the USA Agency for International Development.

00:25:26.000 It controls the Department of Defense, the CIA, and it's like the center go-through for all these agencies.

00:25:30.000 It's not really supposed to have a center go-through.

00:25:32.000 They're supposed to be independent.

00:25:33.000 So the USAID got created, and its kind of job is to go...

00:25:39.000 Mike Benz knows this stuff well, and I think he's coming on the show pretty soon.

00:25:42.000 We can go deep on USAID. Is to create value outside of the U.S. And what they'll do is they'll buy countries.

00:25:48.000 They'll basically flood their markets with U.S. dollars through bribery and then take control of their economies.

00:25:53.000 And that's kind of been the tactic.

00:25:54.000 When you say take control, what do you mean by take control?

00:25:56.000 They make sure that they're on their currency.

00:25:58.000 So using the dollar.

00:25:59.000 Yeah.

00:25:59.000 But that, do you mean, when you say take control, it implies like there's the U.S. trying to direct their economy, is that what you're saying?

00:26:08.000 I don't know if it's the U.S., but it's whoever's controlling the monetary.

00:26:11.000 You said U.S.Aid, right?

00:26:11.000 U.S.Aid is the organization that's running it.

00:26:13.000 Yeah, right, and it goes through the IMF, the World Bank, etc., the Swift Payment.

00:26:17.000 Yeah, the Bank for International Settlement.

00:26:18.000 Can you steel man the existence of the U.S.Aid?

00:26:22.000 USAID is a real thing.

00:26:23.000 It exists.

00:26:25.000 They provide money and resources on the surface to foreign countries, and many accuse them of actually being a subversive force.

00:26:34.000 For instance, in Ukraine, there are a lot of people that claim USAID was actually the structure by which they implemented the overthrowing of the Yanukovych government to create a more pro-Western government.

00:26:44.000 Mm-hmm.

00:26:46.000 So the structure, this is basically the Confessions of the Economic Hitman.

00:26:49.000 Are you familiar with that book?

00:26:51.000 No, actually I'm not.

00:26:52.000 In order for the liberal economic order to maintain control, they first go and say, hey, you've got a developing nation.

00:26:58.000 We want you to do what we want, and we're going to give you tons of money.

00:27:01.000 You're going to get a big old stack of U.S. dollars.

00:27:03.000 We're going to build roads, McDonald's, grocery stores.

00:27:06.000 You're going to be a developed nation.

00:27:07.000 And if they say no, they say, okay.

00:27:10.000 If you don't do it, you get the stick.

00:27:12.000 Carrot or the stick, what do you pick?

00:27:13.000 And if they refuse the carrot, then they'll try to remove them through a coup of some sort.

00:27:18.000 If the coups fail, then you get a Saddam Hussein or a Gaddafi type scenario.

00:27:22.000 That's the claim made.

00:27:24.000 It's the book Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

00:27:25.000 What is true, however, is that the IMF offers loans to developing nations, and the simplest version of it I would argue the non-conspiratorial or steelman argument of the IMF is it's a bank that give out loans to developing countries because they believe if we develop in this nation and build businesses, we'll get labor back in kind and they'll pay back the loan.

00:27:44.000 But what ends up happening is most of these countries develop massive debt to an international bank they can't pay back and then just become debt-indentured servant vassal states to an international structured whatever you want to call it.

00:27:56.000 And then, when you cross the line, they'll kick you out of the SWIFT payment system so your credit cards don't work no more.

00:28:01.000 The point that I was trying to get is, like, Ian, is oftentimes you're talking about these things without actually fleshing out the argument you make, and you imply a lot of nefarious things, but I've never really heard you articulate what it is that you find so objectionable.

00:28:19.000 Like the other night when you were talking about the emperor, you're like, well, it's not supposed to be, and it's like, well, why not?

00:28:25.000 This is a good question, Ian.

00:28:27.000 What is objectionable about a method of control by which you offer resources and then put someone in debt?

00:28:34.000 Well, I mean, if it was...

00:28:39.000 At their will.

00:28:40.000 If it wasn't like you were saying earlier about this hitman strategy, like we're going to control your nation one way or another or another, and you get to pick.

00:28:47.000 Do you want to be bribed out and just be served to us and pay us back for the rest of your life and owe us interest on all our loans to you?

00:28:54.000 Or do you want us to remove you and then take control of your country?

00:28:56.000 Or do you want us to invade and take it by force?

00:28:59.000 It's your choice.

00:29:00.000 That's my problem with it, is this strategy.

00:29:03.000 If it was just like, hey, do you want some money?

00:29:05.000 You'll end up paying us back in the long run.

00:29:07.000 If not, okay, that's fine.

00:29:08.000 But if it's That'd be a different story.

00:29:08.000 Do your thing.

00:29:10.000 If it's a developing nation that doesn't have a lot of economic activity, right, and they're giving loans to these countries so that way they can develop, they can have a functioning economy or have a more prosperous economy, and it helps the people of the country, why is that bad?

00:29:29.000 Well, I mean, if it helps the people of the country, it does a lot of times lift people out of poverty.

00:29:37.000 That's true.

00:29:38.000 I think my point being, like, the argument that you're making sounds like an argument against capitalism, right?

00:29:44.000 Against the method that we use to fund projects.

00:29:49.000 And that kind of boils down to an argument against capitalism.

00:29:52.000 Capitalism is the best system to raise people out of poverty.

00:29:58.000 The reason we don't have a total, you know, poverty being the norm globally, and it's not.

00:30:04.000 We've got like, I think less than 10% of the population is in abject poverty anymore, I think the UN said.

00:30:09.000 And by like 2035, you're gonna get rid of all objective poverty, which is like living on less than a dollar a day.

00:30:14.000 Different amounts of money are necessary in different countries.

00:30:16.000 To keep people fed and stuff.

00:30:18.000 But capitalism is the engine that has raised the standard of living for people globally forever.

00:30:26.000 Even China.

00:30:27.000 China was a basket case of an economy until the 70s or something like that when Nixon went and opened up a little bit.

00:30:34.000 China decided to open up markets and then they started to actually produce something for the people.

00:30:39.000 People stopped starving all the time.

00:30:41.000 The argument sounds like, when you talk about it, it sounds like you're against the liberal economic order.

00:30:47.000 It's like, liberalism is generally good, right?

00:30:50.000 And the economic order that has been produced has raised a massive amount of people, billions of people out of poverty.

00:30:57.000 So I'm not sure what your argument against it is when it's actually done really great things For billions of human beings.

00:31:06.000 Well, one would be the centralization of control.

00:31:09.000 That makes me nervous because if crazy people get in control of that system, if there's one system and everybody relies on this one economic order, if crazy people get in there like, we don't like this type of person and we don't like that kind of culture.

00:31:20.000 You're like, whoa, hold on.

00:31:21.000 This is Earth.

00:31:22.000 We're all in this together.

00:31:23.000 It's not your 80 people's decision of who gets to go poor and who gets to live.

00:31:28.000 And that's one concern is centralization of control.

00:31:32.000 Another one is like, look what they did in Libya.

00:31:34.000 Libya was an example of Gaddafi wanting to get off the US dollar, and I think he wanted to adopt a gold standard.

00:31:39.000 And they were like, that's not going to fly, bro.

00:31:41.000 And they just basically killed the man and took the country. 0.96

00:31:43.000 He wanted an African Union, and he wanted to trade oil and gold, and that's against the wishes of the Western powers.

00:31:51.000 So they take him out.

00:31:53.000 And so you see what happens when it's attempted to defy.

00:31:55.000 And we should move on, absolutely, because you're just getting too esoteric, and that's a culture war conversation.

00:31:59.000 Well, yeah, this is for Mike Benz, too.

00:32:01.000 Let's jump to the post-millennial.

00:32:02.000 Trump campaign calls out stone cold loser Kamala for continuing to stoke the flames of violence in her brief remarks to reporters. 1.00

00:32:10.000 So this, of course, is following Kamala Harris's making this ridiculous statement about Trump wanting, you know, generals like Hitler, which has been refuted by people named and on the record and only supported by unnamed nobodies no one's ever heard of. 0.86

00:32:22.000 We don't know who they're talking about.

00:32:51.000 Pennsylvania McDonald's franchise retains security after Trump's visit leads to threats. 0.99

00:32:57.000 What a ridiculous case, man.

00:32:59.000 The owner of a Pennsylvania McDonald's that made news over the weekend after Trump went there has retained private security following threats made at location. 0.96

00:33:08.000 Jim Worthington, a key organizer of Trump's visit to the Pennsylvania delegation, blah, blah, blah, told The Daily Caller that McDonald's has received threatening phone calls and social media messages after the former president's appearance.

00:33:19.000 In response, Giacomo Antonio, who had already hired private security ahead of the event, retained their services to protect his employees.

00:33:26.000 Jessica Mijo, a Bucks County resident, described the heightened security when she visited the McDonald's.

00:33:30.000 We walked in, it seemed fine.

00:33:31.000 We ordered and we sat down, but then we looked to our left and there were several armed guards just sitting there.

00:33:39.000 I thought he was checking if we have our insurance or something.

00:33:42.000 Then my husband and I are like, these guys are security.

00:33:44.000 These guys are really watching and seeing what's going on.

00:33:47.000 It was then I made the connection to Trump.

00:33:49.000 Despite the threats, Worthington emphasized that the community has overwhelmingly supported the restaurant.

00:33:54.000 The community is really embracing it, and a lot of people have come here since Sunday just to patronize the restaurant.

00:34:00.000 Now, I don't think it's solely just Kamala Harris that is causing things like this to happen. 1.00

00:34:04.000 But certainly when she goes and gives a press conference—she's actually doing a town hall later tonight, which we don't care to watch because it's probably going to be painful—empty words where she uses lots of them to say nothing.

00:34:13.000 But it is true that as Democrats go on TV over and over again and prime a nation wound up as tight as can be— Eventually, that spring snaps back into the other direction that energy gets released.

00:34:26.000 And now you've got a McDonald's having to have private security because of death threats.

00:34:29.000 You've got, there's a ton of crazy videos, right?

00:34:32.000 We got this video that went viral.

00:34:33.000 A woman goes to someone's house for no reason and asks her why she's voting for Trump and then yells at her, flicks her off.

00:34:39.000 Lady! 0.98

00:34:40.000 Why did you come to this? 0.99

00:34:41.000 Could you imagine you're at home and someone knocks on your door like, for no reason, I just don't like you because you voted for Trump and I'm going to scream in your face. 1.00

00:34:48.000 These people are unhinged. 0.98

00:34:49.000 And if some random old woman is willing to cross that line of going to a stranger's house to insult them, imagine what someone who's truly crazy is willing to do as they ramp up this rhetoric. 1.00

00:34:59.000 So I agree with Donald Trump.

00:35:01.000 Castle doctrine.

00:35:03.000 I'm just joking.

00:35:05.000 Well, I mean, if someone breaks into your house and is threatening your life, we hope it doesn't get to that point.

00:35:10.000 But that's what I fear if the rhetoric keeps escalating in this regard.

00:35:14.000 Kamala Harris and Democrats saying Trump is going to be Hitler.

00:35:17.000 They're claiming he's going to use the military against the American public.

00:35:21.000 He's never said that.

00:35:22.000 That's insane.

00:35:24.000 You know, look, man, it's projection.

00:35:26.000 They say that Republicans are doing this thing and they're going to do that when Democrats are the ones who have a tendency for street-level violence.

00:35:32.000 Republicans don't do this.

00:35:33.000 They try and cite January 6th over and over again, despite the fact that it's Democrats that in 2017 ransacked D.C. because Trump got elected.

00:35:41.000 Then you have Democrats in May of 2020 setting fire to St.

00:35:45.000 John's Church and firebombing the White House.

00:35:47.000 And you have consistently with, say, the Summer of Love protests, it is leftists and Democrats.

00:35:52.000 It's not Democrat leadership.

00:35:54.000 It is run-of-the-mill regular folks who vote Democrat who are joining these protests and engaging in extreme degrees of violence.

00:36:00.000 sort of like um that that phenomenon of like people that have been abused do the abuse to other people you'd think someone that receives abuse would be like understand how horrible it is worse than anyone else and be the most likely not to do it again but it's the weird cycle of like look it happened to me so i'm going to project it onto others and with with people supporting movements that are perpetuating violence like the pretty brutal burning down of cities and stuff during these riots

00:36:30.000 and just kind of like being kind of okay with it you'll see the projection of that outside It's like they're forcing that kind of abusive behavior now outside after they allowed it to happen and the cognitive dissonance of making themselves think it's normal because they don't want to seem like they were a victim or part of a problem.

00:36:49.000 That's, I think, a lot of what's going on.

00:36:51.000 My concern is, well, I will start by saying, Republicans, what is it, one out of ten instances?

00:36:58.000 Is there someone on the right doing something?

00:37:00.000 It's just been consistently over the past decade, as far as I've seen, longer than that.

00:37:04.000 Longer than a decade since going back to Occupy.

00:37:06.000 What did Tea Party do?

00:37:06.000 You ever see Tea Parties running around firebombing buildings and beating people up?

00:37:09.000 They were super calm.

00:37:10.000 Yeah, I remember going to...

00:37:11.000 I went to Philly, and there was a Tea Party event, and it was a bunch of people sitting in lawn chairs.

00:37:11.000 Peaceful movement.

00:37:17.000 Then you go to these leftist protests and they're smashing up windows, throwing things in the street, fighting with cops.

00:37:24.000 That's just what they do.

00:37:25.000 Tea Party events, they cleaned up after themselves.

00:37:28.000 There were all these times that the Tea Party had protests or whatever, and they would always take their trash out with them, and the place was...

00:37:34.000 I mean, it wasn't perfect, you know, because not everyone's on board, but it was significantly cleaner than when the left has a protest where they break, like, not only is it a mess, but they smash windows and light cars on fire and stuff.

00:37:47.000 The Tea Party guys didn't loot the Gucci stores?

00:37:49.000 No, they didn't.

00:37:50.000 Shocking.

00:37:50.000 Oh, surprising, right?

00:37:51.000 Yeah, there were little old ladies with little American flags and red shirts and American flag hats, and they're waving them in a lawn in Philadelphia. 0.98

00:37:57.000 And I was like, well, this is boring.

00:38:00.000 It was funny because I've covered all these protests, and I was like, man, this is crazy.

00:38:03.000 The cops are firing rubber bullets, and there's tear gas.

00:38:05.000 And then I went to a tea party event, and I walked around, and nothing happened.

00:38:11.000 And they're just sitting in lawn chairs, and then they left.

00:38:13.000 And then after they left, they cleaned up their garbage and picked up the chairs.

00:38:16.000 And I was just looking around like, but nothing happened.

00:38:18.000 Like...

00:38:19.000 I guess the challenge for people on the right especially is there's no news when you do that.

00:38:24.000 And so the left actually wins politically in terrifying cases where, for instance, at Trump's inauguration when they ransacked D.C., they all got arrested and then sued the city, sued the federal government and won a million bucks.

00:38:38.000 They had to pay them, the people doing the loot and the ransacking.

00:38:41.000 That's fascinating.

00:38:42.000 What did they sue them for?

00:38:42.000 Insane.

00:38:45.000 I don't know the exact thing, but I think it was like false charges.

00:38:49.000 The idea was this large group of people, many just black clad hoodies, were smashing things, setting fires.

00:38:55.000 The cops surrounded a big group of them and then just arrested everybody.

00:38:59.000 And then when they tried charging them, the defense argued, how do you know my client is the one who committed those crimes?

00:39:03.000 And they say, we don't.

00:39:05.000 But they were part of a conspiracy to do it.

00:39:06.000 They argued that if you show up at one of these rallies wearing black block, which is a hoodie, a mask, jeans, you are doing that to intentionally cover for other people who are going to be engaged in extreme violence.

00:39:19.000 And then they they argued to the judge.

00:39:21.000 So some random guy who happens to be walking on the street wearing a hoodie and jeans is now part of a criminal conspiracy.

00:39:27.000 You can't do that.

00:39:28.000 So a handful of people actually pleaded guilty.

00:39:31.000 And then once things started getting pretty hot, like more news, more attention, more protests over the arrests, and more lawyers got involved, everyone started pleading not guilty.

00:39:45.000 And then eventually they were forced to drop the charges.

00:39:47.000 And then they filed a lawsuit against the city and they won a million bucks.

00:39:50.000 Like a class action?

00:39:51.000 I don't think it was a class action.

00:39:52.000 I'm not sure.

00:39:53.000 But they argued that it was like wrongful arrest without evidence.

00:39:55.000 And it's D.C. They're all Democrats.

00:39:58.000 They're going to side with leftist protests no matter what.

00:40:00.000 They're sitting there being like, these people are protesting Donald Trump.

00:40:02.000 Come on.

00:40:03.000 Like, you want to win an election and you arrest the Trump protesters?

00:40:06.000 Yeah, you're not going to be able to pull that off.

00:40:07.000 Again, this is why I say civil war. 0.92

00:40:09.000 Not because I've made it the idea.

00:40:11.000 Because if a Democrat goes out, if Democrat, like, look at the lockdowns.

00:40:16.000 When they went out and marched in New York City for Black Lives Matter, they said it was a Colorado Sun ran an article.

00:40:23.000 The Black Lives Matter protests reduced the spread of COVID. It's amazing. 0.76

00:40:27.000 How about that?

00:40:27.000 And then when people went out for free speech on the right, they had pictures of nurses standing in front of cars with their arms crossed being like, you're spreading disease.

00:40:36.000 It's all just patently obvious to everybody.

00:40:39.000 And I wonder if why the reason Donald Trump is doing so well is because people are just sick of this.

00:40:45.000 I know I am.

00:40:46.000 I think so.

00:40:47.000 I mean, when we read earlier that, oh, Donald Trump said that he wished he had generals like what Hitler had, I was like, you know what, even if he said that in a meeting five years ago, I don't care, dude.

00:40:57.000 I don't care anymore.

00:40:58.000 He said it off the cuff.

00:40:59.000 He doesn't really want to do that kind of thing. 0.99

00:41:01.000 Like, I'm done with that crap. 0.98

00:41:03.000 I just, I am. 0.99

00:41:04.000 And I'm not a Trump supporter.

00:41:06.000 I'm not a zealot. 1.00

00:41:08.000 I just don't care about that crap. 1.00

00:41:10.000 Like, this whole villainizing bullshit, I'm done. 1.00

00:41:12.000 I agree. 0.99

00:41:13.000 Even if Donald Trump's sitting there and he's like, I wish I had generals like Hitler, I'd be like, yeah, I literally don't care anymore.

00:41:16.000 I am so sick of the media running these lies.

00:41:19.000 I am so sick of the far-left violence.

00:41:21.000 We had in the 2020 cycle something like a list of 1,000 attacks on Trump supporters.

00:41:26.000 You had a Trump supporter, I believe it was in Portland, Aaron Donaldson, got shot twice in the chest by some far-left with the Black Lives Matter tattoo.

00:41:33.000 And the Venezuelan gangs taking over hotels, there are real problems happening in the world.

00:41:38.000 It's not about this guy or her.

00:41:40.000 There are real issues with mass immigration, unfettered people coming into the country and taking over territory. 1.00

00:41:48.000 Drug cartels on the southern border running fentanyl across the border and poisoning our country.

00:41:53.000 Real problems that we should be focusing on as a nation.

00:41:57.000 So...

00:41:58.000 When it comes to liberal and conservative, I think conservative people, the reason why a lot of it is just sort of peaceful and bland is because they want to conserve the status quo.

00:42:07.000 That's the nature of conservatism.

00:42:09.000 They're not really out there to change things.

00:42:11.000 What is Kamala's pitch?

00:42:13.000 I don't know.

00:42:14.000 Donald Trump.

00:42:15.000 Yeah, he's bad. 0.81

00:42:16.000 Yep, that's it. 0.73

00:42:17.000 It's the same crappy fear-based thing about villain, villain, villain. 0.62

00:42:21.000 Look at me.

00:42:22.000 I'm not, I'm not.

00:42:22.000 What's Trump's pitch?

00:42:23.000 He wants to take away interest on certain loans.

00:42:28.000 What, student?

00:42:29.000 Car loans.

00:42:29.000 Car loans, he wants to make it so you don't have to pay interest.

00:42:31.000 Deregulate energy industry.

00:42:33.000 Yeah, he's actually putting forth ideas.

00:42:35.000 He's been president for four years.

00:42:37.000 He knows how the system works.

00:42:38.000 He knows how policy gets passed and created.

00:42:40.000 And he's actually got ideas.

00:42:42.000 A lot of people like Tulsi Gabbard now has joined the Republican Party because she's fantastic. 0.67

00:42:47.000 Just a fantastic nonpartisan human being that sees the humanitarianism in the Republican Party right now.

00:42:52.000 It's not about politics.

00:42:54.000 It's about like real people trying to do real change.

00:42:57.000 Even Ian is voting for Trump.

00:42:59.000 Really?

00:43:00.000 Well, Tim does a lot of my talking for me.

00:43:02.000 I don't know.

00:43:02.000 Yeah, I probably will.

00:43:03.000 Yeah, I'm not voting for Kamala Harris, and I do not support imperial people putting candidates into power without a primary.

00:43:10.000 That is completely anti-democratic.

00:43:12.000 It threatens democracy.

00:43:13.000 That's exactly like the King of England.

00:43:15.000 It is like a monarch putting their son in power or being like, who will you choose for your next leader, this guy or this guy?

00:43:21.000 I picked them both.

00:43:22.000 Indeed.

00:43:23.000 And that's why you have to support Trump.

00:43:24.000 It's the only way to oppose the British crown.

00:43:25.000 Trump at least was chosen by the people.

00:43:27.000 That's one thing I appreciate about his movement is he was chosen by people that believe in him and not some business bureaucracy that put him into power.

00:43:37.000 And it's not just that.

00:43:38.000 It's that the primary was pretty brutal.

00:43:40.000 You know, Nikki Haley was bringing Democrats over to the Republicans because they were trying to get her to be the candidate. 1.00

00:43:44.000 Ron DeSantis mustered up a legitimate base in the Republican Party.

00:43:49.000 Vivek Ramaswamy was the best candidate.

00:43:51.000 But the people love Donald Trump so much and they respect him that it's like, okay, that's the guy.

00:43:56.000 That's your guy right now.

00:43:57.000 That's Donald Trump.

00:43:58.000 He won against three pretty strong personalities.

00:44:02.000 If he hadn't been in the election, it would have been a very intense, tight race between DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Vivek.

00:44:09.000 Yeah, I don't think Nikki Haley could have won.

00:44:11.000 I think DeSantis would have won if there was no Trump, because he was ahead in all the prediction markets, too.

00:44:16.000 But yeah, you look at the Democratic Party and they've appointed someone without any democratic process.

00:44:22.000 I think for that reason alone, we must oppose Kamala Harris.

00:44:26.000 She could come out with the greatest policies in the world, and I'd say, no, no, we cannot as a country allow the political appointment by party of our national leader.

00:44:35.000 I agree.

00:44:36.000 I agree.

00:44:37.000 If she had the best policies in the world, literally, I would consider it, unfortunately.

00:44:42.000 Nope, nope, nope.

00:44:43.000 I'll tell you why you're wrong.

00:44:44.000 Because the dictator's gonna come to you, and he's gonna say, Ian, you want graphene and hydrogen energy?

00:44:44.000 Why?

00:44:48.000 I will give you all of those things.

00:44:49.000 And you're gonna go, oh, that's a good point.

00:44:50.000 Then he's gonna get in, and he's gonna point to his son, and his son's gonna be like, cancel Ian's graphene.

00:44:53.000 Thank you.

00:44:54.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:44:55.000 You gotta trust the process itself.

00:44:57.000 You need to respect the process itself.

00:44:58.000 That's what this is about, is respecting the democratic process.

00:45:02.000 Kamala will come up behind you and put her hands on your shoulder, give you a massage, and whisper in your ear, graphene. 0.99

00:45:07.000 And you're going to be like, I'm going to vote for her!

00:45:09.000 And then as soon as you do, she's going to throw you in the glass. 1.00

00:45:10.000 Yeah, the empire will offer you everything on a platter.

00:45:13.000 But you'll never get it.

00:45:14.000 Maybe you'll have it for a generation, and then it'll be taken away from you because the next emperor wants it.

00:45:18.000 You offer them absolute power through appointment.

00:45:21.000 They have no obligation to give you anything they promised.

00:45:23.000 Yeah, we need to respect Democratic-Republicanism.

00:45:25.000 See, the thing is, if we reject that, that Kamala Harris was appointed, and we say you have to win at the bare minimum your primaries, We're good to go.

00:45:56.000 I'm going to declare 17 wars. 0.71

00:45:58.000 I'm going to strip all of your pension funds, and there's nothing you can do about it because we choose who is running.

00:46:04.000 You're going to get Jack Johnson and John Jackson.

00:46:06.000 It's going to be like Futurama.

00:46:07.000 I think his tax policy goes too far.

00:46:10.000 Well, I think his tax policy doesn't go too far enough.

00:46:13.000 And you're going to be like, wow, this is awful.

00:46:15.000 But you know what?

00:46:15.000 Here's the reality.

00:46:16.000 That's how it was for a long time.

00:46:18.000 Like, did anybody really want Obama or Romney?

00:46:22.000 It's fascinating to me.

00:46:23.000 At a time when you have the zeitgeist, literally at the time, zeitgeist the documentary, you have the community, the culture of political people who are involved in politics saying, yeah, we want Ron Paul.

00:46:33.000 We want Congress to declare wars.

00:46:36.000 We want sound currency.

00:46:37.000 And then you had the average person being like, don't know, don't care.

00:46:40.000 The machine on TV, they told me to vote for Barack Obama, so I did.

00:46:43.000 And if you alter the timescale and kind of step back for a long time, you didn't even get to do a fake choice.

00:46:50.000 It was his son is going to be your next ruler.

00:46:52.000 Deal.

00:46:53.000 You have no say.

00:46:54.000 For thousands of years, that's how the system worked.

00:46:57.000 His kid's going to be your next leader and then his kid and worship my family.

00:47:01.000 And we are very fortunate to have this American Revolution in 1776 led by these amazing human beings that put and risked so much for us to be able to choose our leaders in cycles.

00:47:13.000 That has to continue.

00:47:15.000 Yeah.

00:47:15.000 Well, let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail.

00:47:18.000 Social studies teacher 24 is arrested for sending threats to Donald Trump Jr.

00:47:23.000 and Charlie Kirk.

00:47:24.000 They say Daniel Ashbess, 24, is accused of making online threats against the Republican figures while they were in the East Valley for a political rally last week.

00:47:33.000 He was booked into the Tempe City Jail on October 17th, and police were made aware of his threatening messages, sent in response to an automated messaging service for RSVPs to the rally at the local hotel.

00:47:44.000 Detectives said that Ashpes admitted sending the messages during an interview.

00:47:51.000 AZ Family reports he faces three counts of threatening to cause physical injury to another person and one charge of using a phone to threaten or intimidate.

00:48:00.000 I'm curious, where are the stories of the inverse?

00:48:05.000 Where are the stories of right-wingers doing things like this?

00:48:07.000 I'm sure maybe there's something niche or otherwise, but this stuff happens all the time.

00:48:11.000 I am concerned about what comes after this election, considering what we're seeing now.

00:48:15.000 Yep.

00:48:16.000 Tim, since this is your wheelhouse, I want to ask you a question.

00:48:18.000 I was at January 6th all day, like I said before, and why did they let us stand on the front step of the Capitol building for so long?

00:48:26.000 What do you mean?

00:48:27.000 So I was there all day, and for hours we were just standing outside of the building, right? 0.98

00:48:31.000 And I'm like, what the fuck's going on? 1.00

00:48:32.000 I'm filming shit. 1.00

00:48:32.000 And then it felt like as soon as they wanted to, they started mustard gassing us, and within five minutes everyone was cleared. 1.00

00:48:37.000 Why didn't they mustard gas us when we initially approached the Capitol building?

00:48:41.000 Because there was police all around.

00:48:42.000 Well, I mean, this is actually, I have a funny story.

00:48:44.000 I'm a CS gas, right?

00:48:46.000 Yeah.

00:48:46.000 Yeah, I'm not, you know, whatever it is.

00:48:48.000 Yeah, so it's just, it's usually, you know, CS. I'll tell you a story that Luke told me, but Luke could tell it better because he lived it.

00:48:56.000 But this is a story he told me that they were at, I think it was like a G20 protest in, it might have been Pittsburgh.

00:49:01.000 And all these protesters are in the middle of a park.

00:49:04.000 And so they send a bunch of SWAT cops to line the park.

00:49:07.000 And they're all standing there staring into the park.

00:49:10.000 Because they're told to.

00:49:11.000 And then they don't move.

00:49:13.000 So eventually Luke said that he and his buddies, like all the other group, decided that they were done and they were going to leave.

00:49:18.000 They all left and walked just between the cops who were lining the park.

00:49:21.000 And those cops stood there lining the park with nobody there.

00:49:25.000 That's it.

00:49:26.000 And everybody was laughing, being like, why are they just standing there staring at an empty field now?

00:49:30.000 Whatever.

00:49:30.000 We're leaving.

00:49:31.000 And it was because they didn't receive orders.

00:49:33.000 These cops don't know, don't care.

00:49:35.000 They're told, stand there.

00:49:38.000 Stay where you are.

00:49:39.000 Wait for further instructions.

00:49:40.000 And they go, okay.

00:49:41.000 And then they all just stand there.

00:49:42.000 And they're trained to do it.

00:49:43.000 It's discipline.

00:49:44.000 I mean, if they broke ranks, things get ugly.

00:49:46.000 But without leadership, that's all they're doing.

00:49:49.000 So what happens?

00:49:49.000 Well, there's a bunch of people standing on the lawn of the Capitol on January 6th.

00:49:53.000 Nobody cares.

00:49:53.000 And then someone gave an order to fire tear gas.

00:49:56.000 Okay.

00:49:57.000 That's how it goes.

00:49:58.000 I didn't know. 0.99

00:49:58.000 Because they were shooting rubber bullets, and I was like, you know, I got a clip of a guy who got a rubber bullet right through the cheek, and I'm like, what the fuck is going on? 0.99

00:50:04.000 They're shooting rubber bullets.

00:50:05.000 And then as soon as they hit us with the gas, everyone left, and I always wondered why they didn't do that earlier.

00:50:10.000 Probably because, do you know what time they started firing tear gas?

00:50:14.000 The sun was setting.

00:50:17.000 Because it probably had to do with the, I think it was at like, what was it, 1.30 or something when people breached the barricades or breached the building around then?

00:50:26.000 They pushed over the little gate thing.

00:50:28.000 Yeah, on one side of the building they went and it could be related to that.

00:50:30.000 But it's simple.

00:50:32.000 Someone gave an order to do it.

00:50:35.000 Maybe they realized that giving a tour to the shaman and letting people come in and take selfies with cops was a bad idea and they needed to switch what the narrative was going to be so they started attacking everybody.

00:50:45.000 I think a lot about that shaman, Jacob Chansley.

00:50:47.000 I interviewed him.

00:50:48.000 I've actually talked to him multiple times.

00:50:50.000 He's a very cool guy.

00:50:51.000 And how much worse things could have been if there wasn't a guy there that was kind of a symbol of peace.

00:50:55.000 Like, he was telling people, stay calm, be cool.

00:50:58.000 He served time for his experience there, but he calmed a lot of people down.

00:51:03.000 And there was not, there was bits of violence.

00:51:05.000 Ashley Babbitt lost her life.

00:51:06.000 God, awful, awful.

00:51:08.000 Some cops got hurt pretty bad, I've heard.

00:51:11.000 Some people probably got roughed up, but Chancely was like continuously encouraging people to relax.

00:51:17.000 And it could have been, I was talking to my father about, it could have been so bad, like bodies all over the place.

00:51:26.000 And it was not.

00:51:27.000 There's a lot of voices of peace.

00:51:28.000 I mean, I would encourage anyone to get this completely shadow banned to go watch my video of January 6th Street interviews where I was on the ground all day.

00:51:34.000 A lot of people were not preaching a hateful message.

00:51:37.000 I barely found anyone who was preaching a hateful message.

00:51:39.000 It was relatively peaceful.

00:51:41.000 I mean, I know they broke into the building and stuff, but it was very interesting to be on the ground there.

00:51:47.000 And the video, I think, is very interesting.

00:51:48.000 You have a video on YouTube of it?

00:51:49.000 Yeah, of January 6th.

00:51:50.000 YouTube's taken it down and reinstated it multiple times for hate speech, then for promoting violence, but it's still up now.

00:51:55.000 What's it called?

00:51:56.000 It's called January 6th Street Interviews.

00:51:58.000 Something like that.

00:51:59.000 Did you have any insight that came out of that personally?

00:52:04.000 I was just shocked to see the media say, like, this is a second 9-11.

00:52:10.000 And just the verbiage that they used about the incident was kind of crazy to me. 0.98

00:52:15.000 I've been more scared at fucking Nelk rallies. 0.96

00:52:19.000 I went to this YouTube Nelk meetup where they're throwing glass bottles. 1.00

00:52:22.000 I was more scared at that than I was at January 6th.

00:52:24.000 I was chilling at January 6th all day.

00:52:26.000 It wasn't a very scary environment from my perspective.

00:52:29.000 But then again, it's just anecdotal.

00:52:31.000 I'm pretty sure that these street takeovers are more dangerous and scary than January 6th.

00:52:35.000 Like, January 6th was not good.

00:52:37.000 Someone died.

00:52:38.000 Someone was shot and killed.

00:52:39.000 There are people who, I think one person fell off something climbing and fell.

00:52:44.000 Someone got trampled.

00:52:44.000 I mean, it was pretty bad.

00:52:46.000 And there's a riot.

00:52:47.000 Riots are not fun.

00:52:48.000 But you look at some of these street takeovers, and there's people shooting guns, and there's swinging cars.

00:52:52.000 There's a video of some guy, like, standing in the street, and they do a donut and whack the guy with the tail.

00:52:56.000 I was just with that guy this weekend, swear to God.

00:52:58.000 Oh, for real?

00:52:59.000 Swear to God, yeah.

00:53:00.000 Yeah, I was filming with them at another car takeover and they rammed a car into another car and then sped off.

00:53:00.000 I've seen that viral video.

00:53:05.000 That street takeover shit's crazy. 0.99

00:53:07.000 There's multiple videos. 0.99

00:53:08.000 Guys from Maryland.

00:53:09.000 Getting run over because they're doing spin-outs in the street takeovers.

00:53:15.000 Tons of people have been run over by that stuff.

00:53:18.000 It's really dangerous.

00:53:19.000 And the police either can't do anything about it or don't do anything about it.

00:53:23.000 And, I mean, that's...

00:53:25.000 I'm not going to say...

00:53:28.000 That it's worse than January 6th because January 6th is like a legitimate riot and stuff.

00:53:35.000 But I don't think that January 6th was even close to the way that it was portrayed because I think the narrative that the left and that the government wanted about January 6th was it's the worst thing obviously they said.

00:53:50.000 You know, it's worse than 9-11 or it's as bad as 9-11. 0.62

00:53:53.000 And they only did that so they could justify using authoritarian powers.

00:54:00.000 They could justify saying, oh, we need to put these people in jail. 0.80

00:54:04.000 And another thing that they did is when they put those people in jail, it was too frightened Americans.

00:54:09.000 It was so that way people would be afraid of speaking out.

00:54:13.000 People that are...

00:54:15.000 Paying attention knew that there were a lot of people that were put in jail simply for talking.

00:54:21.000 There were people that didn't even go inside that were put in jail for exercising opinions that were unpopular.

00:54:27.000 Well, Owen Schroer never went inside.

00:54:29.000 And they arrested him.

00:54:30.000 And at the sentencing, the document stated that he had said things online after the fact that warranted a prison sentence.

00:54:38.000 So what did I do differently than Owen Schroer?

00:54:40.000 You were outside the building?

00:54:42.000 Yeah, I never went in the building.

00:54:43.000 I mean, maybe they'll come and arrest you.

00:54:46.000 No, I think it was about making a point with Owen.

00:54:49.000 Honestly, I think they just, it was really about making a statement.

00:54:52.000 Yeah, he was InfoWars.

00:54:52.000 Yeah, he worked with InfoWars, and they were like, we're going to make a statement so that people know, like, Alex Jones is a hot button.

00:54:58.000 Now you know, you see, if you're clear near Alex Jones, what can happen to you.

00:55:02.000 There was a, there's that reporter, Steve Baker, am I getting his name wrong?

00:55:08.000 I think that's the right name.

00:55:09.000 Let me double check that.

00:55:09.000 I feel bad if I'm getting your name wrong, buddy.

00:55:11.000 But he went in with two other journalists, I believe it was two other journalists, Yeah.

00:55:29.000 no charges.

00:55:30.000 But he wrote an article saying something like inside with your insurrectionists.

00:55:35.000 And so the belief is because he called them insurrectionists, they said, OK, this guy's on our side.

00:55:39.000 Yeah, Steve Baker, he wrote he wrote for Blaze News.

00:55:44.000 He still does, doesn't he?

00:55:45.000 Writes for Blaze News.

00:55:45.000 Yeah, we just had him on recently.

00:55:46.000 Oh, cool.

00:55:47.000 Yeah, and he explained, and he believes that it was like a DOD level thing, that the intention at the highest levels was to get people to riot at the Capitol so that they could stage it.

00:55:57.000 It's such a basic tactic for a government to be there.

00:55:59.000 Made all the bleachers set up outside of the Capitol building?

00:56:02.000 Well, because it was a permitted rally.

00:56:03.000 They were allowed to be there.

00:56:04.000 It's kind of crazy.

00:56:06.000 And then Owen Schroer got arrested for it.

00:56:07.000 But, uh...

00:56:09.000 What Baker was saying is that he believes the intention was to have this rally happen.

00:56:15.000 The DOD wanted it to happen.

00:56:16.000 That's why they didn't bring the National Guard like Trump wanted.

00:56:19.000 It's why the police are standing around in videos.

00:56:21.000 You can watch.

00:56:21.000 You watch the video.

00:56:22.000 There's cops outside.

00:56:22.000 They're doing nothing.

00:56:23.000 They're letting people go in.

00:56:24.000 There's videos of cops being shoved, and there's that brawl in one entrance to the building, but there's cops taking selfies with people and smiling.

00:56:32.000 And so Baker was saying that he believes the intention was not to evacuate the building.

00:56:37.000 There was a cop who, of his own volition, ordered the evacuation without orders, and he got in trouble.

00:56:43.000 Not for that specifically, but people think that's why.

00:56:46.000 He believes that the DOD was hoping a politician would get hurt in some capacity so that they could justify this nationwide crackdown.

00:56:53.000 And if you take a look at what they've been doing to J6ers... 1.00

00:56:57.000 None of it makes sense.

00:56:58.000 Nonviolent misdemeanors resulting in three years in solitary confinement?

00:57:02.000 That doesn't make any sense.

00:57:03.000 That's crazy.

00:57:03.000 Am I a J6-er?

00:57:04.000 But if there was a politician who got hurt because they didn't evacuate and then these riders stormed in and a senator or a member of Congress got injured, then everyone would be like, well, of course the J6-ers are getting locked up and there's a crackdown. 1.00

00:57:16.000 These people attacked sitting members of Congress on the day of the vote count.

00:57:21.000 But nothing happened.

00:57:22.000 So they're all non-violent misdemeanors, trespass, and they're trying to put people in prison for months or even...

00:57:29.000 I met a woman.

00:57:30.000 She said that they showed up several hours after all the fighting and rioting, and they walked up Calmly, it was people walking around.

00:57:39.000 Went up to the door.

00:57:40.000 It was wide open.

00:57:40.000 They walked in and there was no broken glass or anything.

00:57:43.000 They looked around for a minute or whatever and then walked out, had no idea what was going on.

00:57:46.000 And then a year or so later, the cops kicked their door in, arrested her and her husband, and they were sentenced to 18 months.

00:57:54.000 And she was like, I don't understand.

00:57:55.000 We showed up several hours after everything happened.

00:57:58.000 We walked around.

00:57:59.000 There was no signs.

00:58:00.000 And we don't know what's happening.

00:58:00.000 There was nothing.

00:58:01.000 And now they're going to put us in prison for a year and a half.

00:58:04.000 I'm like, well, that only makes sense in a scenario where politicians actually ended up getting hurt, which they did not.

00:58:11.000 It makes no sense to put nonviolent trespass in prison for a year.

00:58:16.000 So it almost seems like an attempted, like, false flag incident, right, where they're trying to be something to happen?

00:58:19.000 That's what Baker says.

00:58:20.000 Yeah.

00:58:21.000 That the DOD was aware, wanted it to happen, so they could use it as a justification for crackdown and arrest.

00:58:26.000 Yeah, I think the denial of extra police presence kind of indicates an allowance of the process to occur.

00:58:34.000 Like, you would for sure, if there was a riot and you were concerned about stopping it at the Capitol, you'd bring a huge police presence, military presence if you need it.

00:58:43.000 Well, I mean, there's evidence that Donald Trump was asking for that stuff.

00:58:48.000 And that it was just not provided.

00:58:50.000 Like Nancy Pelosi, right?

00:58:51.000 I'm not sure if it was Pelosi or if it was the mayor of D.C. Bowser.

00:58:56.000 He was saying that, you know, hey, no, Muriel Bowser, was she the mayor of D.C.? I think so.

00:59:01.000 I feel like she was the mayor of Chicago, but either way.

00:59:04.000 Bowser?

00:59:04.000 No, she's D.C. Is she D.C.? Okay.

00:59:06.000 Yeah, Lightfoot was Chicago.

00:59:07.000 That's it.

00:59:08.000 But yeah, point being, they denied, they said we can't come up with extra security and stuff.

00:59:14.000 So Trump was looking to prevent it.

00:59:18.000 He was trying to get the law enforcement beefed up.

00:59:24.000 They rejected him?

00:59:25.000 If I understand correctly, yeah.

00:59:28.000 Bowser was like, we don't have the people.

00:59:31.000 And I think that had something to do with defund the police stuff.

00:59:35.000 I'm not positive.

00:59:36.000 That could be just hearsay.

00:59:38.000 I went to Joe Biden's inauguration and they definitely had the people for that one.

00:59:41.000 They had all the gates up and I think they brought in the military in some capacity.

00:59:45.000 Oh, you were actually on the ground for both.

00:59:47.000 So you saw a difference in security for the inauguration versus...

00:59:50.000 Yeah, Joe Biden's inauguration was like... 0.99

00:59:52.000 They had the whole military out there with their fucking automatic weapons. 1.00

00:59:56.000 It was like, what the fuck is this? 1.00

00:59:57.000 I was trying to get a good video. 0.97

00:59:58.000 There was no people there.

00:59:59.000 It was just military.

01:00:00.000 It activated the National Guard.

01:00:02.000 Yeah.

01:00:02.000 So, you know...

01:00:03.000 But at Trump's thing it was just like there's cops standing around and I'm like, I didn't know what the fuck was going on. 1.00

01:00:08.000 My dumb ass walked up to the Capitol building, you know what I mean? 1.00

01:00:12.000 I said, if my dumbass walked up to the Capitol building, it obviously had to be pretty lax security. 1.00

01:00:16.000 There was none. 0.98

01:00:18.000 After people tore down barricades, it was just open sidewalk to a building that is typically open to the public.

01:00:23.000 For hours, we were just chilling there.

01:00:25.000 And a lot of people were just saying that they love America and that they felt like the election was rigged and they won a fair election.

01:00:30.000 And that was pretty much the overarching theme of what I heard there.

01:00:34.000 Well, let's jump to this story from the Post Millennial.

01:00:34.000 Yep.

01:00:37.000 Tim Waltz invited CCP officials into his Nebraska classroom when he was a teacher.

01:00:42.000 Wow, this just keeps getting worse for the guy, huh?

01:00:44.000 I really just don't like this guy.

01:00:46.000 Look at his face.

01:00:47.000 I'm not a fan.

01:00:49.000 It's just this guy.

01:00:52.000 So that's the story.

01:00:53.000 The incident occurred in February of 96 when a group of three educators from southeast China came to Walt's social studies class at Alliance High School to reportedly study the education system.

01:01:02.000 According to a rediscovered Alliance Time Herald story, the Daily Caller News Foundation obtained a study of Chinese government data that showed the delegation included CCP officials who at the time were employed by an institute serving a Chinese espionage agency.

01:01:15.000 The matter has sparked further concerns surrounding Governor Waltz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, and has alleged ties to the CCP.

01:01:23.000 Um, yeah.

01:01:24.000 Waltz and his wife Gwen were sponsors of a student trip to China when the educators stopped by a school.

01:01:29.000 I think it's pretty obvious that this dude has got a, well, we've got to keep it family friendly.

01:01:35.000 So he's got an adoration.

01:01:40.000 For the Chinese Communist Party.

01:01:41.000 I was going to use a different word, but we'll just call it an adoration.

01:01:45.000 I mean, I... My word rhymes with loner.

01:01:49.000 I think you can say that online.

01:01:50.000 It's just because, you know, there's kids.

01:01:52.000 Yeah, right.

01:01:53.000 Family reference, too, because it's a character from Growing Pains.

01:01:55.000 Oh, you got a lot of kids that watch this?

01:01:56.000 Yeah.

01:01:56.000 My apologies.

01:01:57.000 Well, it's not that kids watch it, it's that people watch in their living rooms with their TV on and their kids are, and they're screaming in the chat, please stop swearing.

01:02:02.000 Hey, my apologies, guys.

01:02:04.000 My apologies.

01:02:05.000 J6 are here, I'm sorry. 1.00

01:02:06.000 Yeah.

01:02:08.000 It's not particularly a surprise that he has, you know, an affinity for the CCP, you know, considering what we know about the...

01:02:16.000 And he's a communist? 0.85

01:02:16.000 Well, I mean, he thinks that communism is just being neighborly, which is about as ridiculous of a take on communism as you can possibly have. 0.85

01:02:27.000 But it's not a surprise that he would do something like that, considering the situation with him being in Tiananmen Square.

01:02:33.000 And he said that he'd gone to the CCP multiple times, right?

01:02:37.000 To the CCP or to China?

01:02:39.000 To China, yeah.

01:02:40.000 Yeah, to China.

01:02:40.000 Yeah, at first he claimed it was 30 and then he says it was 15 or something.

01:02:43.000 Yeah, so...

01:02:44.000 Do you think there's a correlation between low testosterone and being a communist?

01:02:47.000 Yes.

01:02:48.000 But what about if you're a communist who wants to control the communist dictatorship?

01:02:51.000 High T. That's high T then, right?

01:02:53.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:02:53.000 You got good nutrition if you want to control the communist party.

01:02:56.000 You're like, just like, you know, you want to be the dictator, you have aspirations.

01:03:00.000 That's high T right there.

01:03:01.000 Maybe, or maybe you were low-T selected.

01:03:03.000 Tough to tell.

01:03:04.000 I don't know how that party works.

01:03:05.000 No, I'm saying, like, someone who has the ambition to take over a country and become a dictator, it seems like a high- Is that how it works in China?

01:03:12.000 And I don't know if you know the answer to this.

01:03:13.000 Do they, does someone, like, seize control, and now they are?

01:03:17.000 Or are they selected by, like, a secret shadow government?

01:03:19.000 No, it's like the Goblin King.

01:03:20.000 In order to become the chairman, you have to take out the existing chairman.

01:03:24.000 You gotta take Trenbolone.

01:03:26.000 I am absolutely kidding.

01:03:27.000 It's not Goblin King.

01:03:28.000 It's like a single party voter and then the top members of the party will vote and then you've got allies.

01:03:33.000 And I hear it's really mob-like and very dirty that it may actually be more Goblin King than we realize.

01:03:40.000 You know?

01:03:40.000 Who knows who?

01:03:41.000 It's like a goblin king's mind. 1.00

01:03:42.000 Well, it's like, if you're a powerful guy and you've got a bunch of buddies and you say, I'm gonna be the chair, you put me in and I'll make it worth your while.

01:03:50.000 Otherwise, it'll be bad for you.

01:03:53.000 Who's got the allies?

01:03:54.000 And then do they have a secret, like a CIA or an MI6? Of course!

01:03:59.000 Is it a name?

01:04:00.000 They don't know the name.

01:04:01.000 They call it Chinese intelligence.

01:04:02.000 Also, I don't think that it's all that particularly secret.

01:04:05.000 Like, everyone's really afraid of stepping out of line because you just get picked up by the normal police.

01:04:13.000 Have you seen the video of the guy strapped to the chair and the cops are like, why did you post online that the cops are bad?

01:04:19.000 And he's like, I was drunk.

01:04:20.000 I'm so sorry.

01:04:21.000 I won't do it again.

01:04:21.000 And they were like, you were drunk.

01:04:22.000 Does that mean you think the cops are good?

01:04:24.000 And he's like, yo, yeah, your cops are really good.

01:04:27.000 And he's got like shackles on a metal chair and he's like naked.

01:04:30.000 Whoa.

01:04:30.000 Yeah, dude.

01:04:31.000 It's rough, man.

01:04:32.000 It's real rough.

01:04:32.000 I mean, every business has a—every business of—I'm not sure what size, but if you're a decent-sized business, you have a representative from the Communist Party in the building, you know, kind of like it used to be with the— Kind of like how we have DEI here.

01:04:46.000 That is what they're trying to do.

01:04:47.000 It's an example of like, do you work with your enemies to accomplish a greater...

01:04:51.000 Or do you work with...

01:04:53.000 And I'm not saying that the CCP is evil.

01:04:55.000 I don't know them all individually.

01:04:57.000 As a unit, I don't like the idea of communism at all as a unit.

01:05:00.000 I don't think it works properly.

01:05:01.000 Top-down, controlled, state-run economy does not function at the local levels properly.

01:05:07.000 You need a more agile economy to function and thrive.

01:05:10.000 That's what the evidence shows.

01:05:12.000 But...

01:05:14.000 Good can work with evil to accomplish a greater goal, which is a unified survivability for the species.

01:05:23.000 I don't want to destroy the system, whatever the system is.

01:05:28.000 I want to augment and fix and make it better.

01:05:31.000 And is it worth working with?

01:05:32.000 Maybe that's Waltz's state of mind.

01:05:34.000 I don't know a lot about.

01:05:35.000 That's not his state of mind.

01:05:36.000 His state of mind is he's a loyal servant to the CCP. You don't fly there 15, 30, 30 or 15.

01:05:42.000 Pick your number.

01:05:43.000 And then invite the CCP to come to your school.

01:05:46.000 This dude romanticizes about what's going on in China.

01:05:50.000 He lied about being there.

01:05:51.000 He lied about being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests, which he was not.

01:05:56.000 And then he got calls out on all the time.

01:05:58.000 He's lying about everything.

01:05:59.000 This dude is just a...

01:06:01.000 He's smarmy, dude.

01:06:03.000 I saw the interview where they were like, so you said you think socialism is a good thing.

01:06:07.000 This is kind of what you were referencing, Phil, but I think they said socialism, not communism.

01:06:10.000 They did.

01:06:11.000 And they were like, the definition of socialism is that there is no private property at all.

01:06:17.000 Property is owned by the state.

01:06:18.000 So you support that?

01:06:20.000 Something like that.

01:06:20.000 Socialism doesn't say the state, although it is true, just to clarify.

01:06:24.000 They say it's publicly owned.

01:06:26.000 Which basically means the state.

01:06:28.000 He was like, no, I mean, I just mean it's like being neighborly was the quote.

01:06:31.000 There's a really crazy interview where that interaction happens.

01:06:36.000 Look at the policies he's passed in his state.

01:06:39.000 The dude is DEI. So DEI is the attempt in the United States to create an American Communist Party.

01:06:45.000 That's why they want – there's chief diversity officers. 1.00

01:06:48.000 That is installing the CCP into your business.

01:06:51.000 That's what DEI is.

01:06:52.000 And I don't think this necessarily comes from China.

01:06:54.000 I think it's Democrats largely who have romanticized and dream of having a government like the CCP does.

01:07:01.000 Who was it who – first you have Trudeau who said he – what was it?

01:07:06.000 He was a big fan of Xi Jinping or something like that?

01:07:08.000 Mm-hmm.

01:07:09.000 You had these Democrats a long time ago say that they envy how China can build a highway overnight and the United States can't do it.

01:07:16.000 Well, it's because we have human rights here.

01:07:17.000 You can't go to someone's house and just smash it to bits and then build your highway over it.

01:07:23.000 But in China they can.

01:07:25.000 They don't care.

01:07:25.000 Yeah, they also force slaves to go build the highway.

01:07:29.000 They'll just be like, your house is gone, it's going to be a highway.

01:07:31.000 I imagine.

01:07:32.000 I said that out of hand.

01:07:33.000 I think of these, some Theo Fletcher sometimes really comes down on me on Twitter.

01:07:38.000 Shout out to Theo Fletcher, who sometimes I can't take it, but...

01:07:41.000 I've said some things about China that aren't correct, and sometimes I feel bad about that.

01:07:46.000 And I don't know about them making slaves build highways, but I think that they don't have workers' rights the same way that we do. 0.93

01:07:54.000 I mean, I guess off the top of my head, I should really research that before I start making those statements.

01:07:58.000 I've just heard stuff about the way that the Uyghurs have been treated in camps and that they're being...

01:08:04.000 Whether it be the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, or any number of ethnic minorities, China's really been absolutely harsh on them.

01:08:12.000 The Falun Gong was another group that apparently were persecuted by the government pretty ruthlessly, I've heard.

01:08:19.000 And then they formed the Epoch Times, I believe, right?

01:08:21.000 And they moved to the United States.

01:08:22.000 Oh, that's who did it.

01:08:23.000 Okay.

01:08:24.000 Yeah, if you go to New York, Falun Gong people are handing out flyers and stuff.

01:08:27.000 And then it was really funny because China started hiring YouTubers. 0.96

01:08:31.000 They offered...

01:08:32.000 I'm pretty sure I got offered this at some point.

01:08:34.000 I got an email where they were like...

01:08:36.000 We'll give you $200 to post this video to your YouTube channel.

01:08:40.000 And then I looked at the video and it was a guy being like, these really weird people fall and gone.

01:08:44.000 Like, what's this about?

01:08:45.000 And then it was like a mini doc that was like five to ten minutes long from some white dude complaining about this group.

01:08:50.000 And I'm like, I ain't posting that to my channel.

01:08:51.000 What is this?

01:08:52.000 But a lot of people were like, 200 bucks, I'll take it.

01:08:56.000 It's just a commercial, right?

01:08:57.000 And I'm like, no way, dude.

01:08:59.000 I used to...

01:08:59.000 I read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

01:09:02.000 Have you guys ever read this book?

01:09:04.000 It's worth the read.

01:09:05.000 It's like the Chinese Hamlet. 0.80

01:09:06.000 It's considered an absolute classic written by Lo Gong Shao in like the 1400s or 1500s or something.

01:09:11.000 Like Wushu and Wei?

01:09:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:09:15.000 Dynasty Warriors games came out of this, Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

01:09:18.000 The novel's incredible.

01:09:19.000 I highly recommend reading it.

01:09:20.000 And you learn all about the beauty of the culture and the way...

01:09:24.000 But it really is imperial propaganda.

01:09:27.000 It's like talking about how wonderful the emperor is and how we need to restore the emperor.

01:09:32.000 I want to become the emperor who's in control of the country.

01:09:35.000 And it's like centralized control and authority.

01:09:38.000 And it's like...

01:09:38.000 Kind of gross that I worshipped Lube and thought he was such a phenomenal human.

01:09:43.000 All he wanted to do was restore the power of the empire.

01:09:45.000 And granted, it was 2,000 years ago.

01:09:48.000 What other things did they have going for him other than a good emperor?

01:09:51.000 They didn't really have the technology to establish a democratic republic in a lot of ways like we have now.

01:09:56.000 It's always made me love China, reading this and thinking about going to Chengdu in the West and seeing the mountains and the temples and history and stuff.

01:10:04.000 But man, communism as an economy is just so stifling.

01:10:08.000 And the brutality that I've seen and heard about in that country is...

01:10:13.000 But it goes beyond just an economy.

01:10:17.000 It's totalitarian.

01:10:18.000 So it's not just the economic system.

01:10:22.000 It's the way you live your life.

01:10:24.000 And being totalitarianism, it's the thoughts that you have.

01:10:28.000 Totalitarianism doesn't allow for dissent.

01:10:31.000 There are authoritarian countries where they don't care so much what you think, just so long as you shut up and do what you're told.

01:10:38.000 That's authoritarianism.

01:10:40.000 If it's totalitarian, they're going to be involved with who you can marry. 0.91

01:10:44.000 Like, the reason China had one child policy, you know, because it's totalitarian, because they were dictating how many children you were allowed to have.

01:10:52.000 They dictate whether or not you can have healthcare.

01:10:55.000 They dictate literally what you think, which is part of the reason why they control speech.

01:11:00.000 If you can control what people are allowed to say, then you can do, to some extent, control what people think and what people are allowed to think.

01:11:10.000 That was the whole, you know, in 1984, the reason they wanted to go ahead and go with Newspeak is because they wanted to get rid of the ability to think bad thoughts.

01:11:18.000 You need to invent ideas or discover them, however you want to describe it.

01:11:22.000 But the idea that there was self-governance or that there could be self-governance Didn't exist until the Founding Fathers, largely.

01:11:30.000 I mean, certainly there was, to a degree, democracy, but mostly around the world.

01:11:35.000 Kingdoms.

01:11:36.000 It was divine mandate or someone who just inherited control.

01:11:40.000 And the Founding Fathers, I don't believe it was the first instance of self-governing, but a lot of the ideas that came from this era were developed.

01:11:50.000 And so, I mean, if you look at the rise of communism especially, right?

01:11:54.000 Communism didn't exist all that long ago.

01:11:57.000 It starts to rise in the late 1800s, early 1900s.

01:12:00.000 Ideas have to be discovered.

01:12:02.000 And so if you can stop people from talking about a certain type of idea, they can't even begin to imagine such a thing exists.

01:12:09.000 I've heard in North Korea that they don't have a word for love.

01:12:12.000 Is that correct?

01:12:13.000 That's probably not true.

01:12:14.000 That was a quote, or I believe it was a...

01:12:18.000 Yunmi Park, who dissented and fled the country and said that they don't have a word for it.

01:12:23.000 You have to have a word for love because you have to love Dear Leader.

01:12:26.000 You have to love Kim Jong-un.

01:12:28.000 I read they have a poo tax. 0.72

01:12:30.000 You have to actually pay the government in poop.

01:12:33.000 And I'm not even making that up.

01:12:34.000 I'm not even trying to be funny.

01:12:34.000 I read that online.

01:12:35.000 Pay them in poop or for poop? 0.58

01:12:36.000 Like you have to give them a certain amount of poop for fertilizer.

01:12:39.000 I'd like to fact check that.

01:12:40.000 I don't think that's true because human waste is not good fertilizer.

01:12:43.000 Yeah, I read it online.

01:12:44.000 You can probably refine it, though.

01:12:45.000 You read it online.

01:12:46.000 That means it's true. 0.70

01:12:47.000 Can we pull that up, young Jamie?

01:12:49.000 You can definitely get methane out of it.

01:12:51.000 Yeah.

01:12:52.000 What do you guys think about modern-day hate speech laws being passed in America?

01:12:55.000 Totally against it.

01:12:56.000 Well, it's unconstitutional.

01:12:58.000 It's too vague.

01:12:58.000 What is a hate speech?

01:13:01.000 It's been brought before the Supreme Court on more than one occasion.

01:13:05.000 And as long as you're not inciting violence, then the First Amendment protects speech, even horrible speech.

01:13:12.000 Aren't they passing laws like in universities that if you're found to be anti-Semitic that you could get kicked out of university, or is that just...

01:13:18.000 That would be the university deciding that you can't say things, and they'll use hate speech as a reason, but that's not federal law saying you can't say things.

01:13:27.000 They'll say, oh, well, you said something hateful, you made other students uncomfortable, etc.

01:13:31.000 Yeah, but if these universities receive public funds and they want a police speech, then they should lose public funds.

01:13:37.000 I agree with that.

01:13:38.000 Yeah.

01:13:38.000 They should have to follow civil law.

01:13:40.000 Yep.

01:13:41.000 If they want public money, yeah.

01:13:43.000 Yeah.

01:13:44.000 These quasi-public-private organizations are really weird.

01:13:47.000 Like the Federal Reserve considers itself one of those two.

01:13:50.000 I don't think.

01:13:50.000 You're one or the other.

01:13:52.000 Either you're a public...

01:13:53.000 Well, I was going to say public utility, but I guess you could be publicly funded without being a utility.

01:13:57.000 Maybe in 13 days we will have a communist administration with Tim Walz and Kamala Harris, you know?

01:14:04.000 Yeah, I was thinking as you guys were talking about the communism, about how kind of like totalitarianism and imperialism...

01:14:12.000 It all can kind of become one weird thing.

01:14:15.000 Like, they kind of see, like, patrolling and controlling thoughts and speech.

01:14:19.000 It doesn't just adhere to, like, communism.

01:14:23.000 It can be definitely, like...

01:14:24.000 Well, yeah, I mean, there's multiple...

01:14:26.000 There's different ways you can be totalitarian.

01:14:28.000 You can be, like...

01:14:29.000 There are some Islamist countries that are totalitarian.

01:14:32.000 They're theocracies.

01:14:33.000 You know, you aren't allowed to say things that would insult the prophet and they would use the force of law to prevent that.

01:14:39.000 They're police of virtue and vice and virtue, and I believe it's in Saudi Arabia. 0.99

01:14:45.000 If you're in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you can run into the police of vice and virtue who will... 0.93

01:14:53.000 I don't know exactly if they arrest you or if they just kind of slap you around or whatever.

01:14:58.000 They can arrest you, yeah.

01:14:59.000 So, you know, there are multiple ways to be totalitarian.

01:15:04.000 It's not just communism, but...

01:15:05.000 Are the police of vice and virtue different than the other regular police in Saudi Arabia?

01:15:09.000 I believe they are.

01:15:11.000 But I'm not sure.

01:15:12.000 I don't know the in-depth situation about Saudi Arabia.

01:15:17.000 But they actually do have, like, if you break Islamic law, the police of vice and virtue will, you know, wrap you up and you can go to jail for that. 0.71

01:15:26.000 I think an antidote to it is to keep saying truth, is to keep, like, using your free speech in a non-adversarial way, just in a very charismatic, loving way.

01:15:40.000 Just keep doing it.

01:15:41.000 Keep being a lighthouse in the dark for people to reorient to, yeah, this is the best.

01:15:45.000 And so I keep making videos, YouTube videos, Twitch videos.

01:15:50.000 Let's jump to this story from the Post Millennial.

01:15:51.000 Kamala's UK campaign advisor pushed to kill Musk's Twitter.

01:15:56.000 In response to the reporting, Musk wrote on X, this is war.

01:16:01.000 Indeed, we have the tweet.

01:16:03.000 Exclusive documents working with Matt Taibbi report on CCD hate documents showing the Labour Party's political front objective is to, quote, kill Musk's Twitter through advertising focus, meaning harass his advertisers.

01:16:17.000 And there it is.

01:16:34.000 It says...

01:16:36.000 Annual priorities, kill Musk's Twitter, advertising focus, trigger EU and UK regulatory action, progress towards change in USA and support for Star.

01:16:45.000 They say AI voice launch Friday the 31st of May.

01:16:49.000 US policy engagement set up meetings with Klobuchar's team to seek a quote press release endorsement.

01:16:55.000 Very interesting.

01:16:56.000 So it would seem that there is, well, international interest, of course, in shutting down free speech even in the United States.

01:17:05.000 Matt Taibbi wrote, Why does Kamala Harris have UK advisors?

01:17:18.000 Well, I don't really know, actually.

01:17:21.000 I imagine that it maybe has something to do with a similar situation where the CIA can't actually operate in the United States, so they would go to their foreign counterparts and they would say, hey...

01:17:36.000 Look at this person because I can't actually do it.

01:17:39.000 And so like a foreign intelligence operative would look into a person in the United States and then give the information back to CIA because they're not actually able to do it.

01:17:48.000 Maybe they're getting around some kind of law by having a foreign entity do something here that the federal government isn't allowed to do.

01:17:56.000 Yeah, Five Eyes Spy Club.

01:17:58.000 That's what they call that.

01:17:59.000 That's kind of why they set it up, is so, you know, U.S. can't spy on its own people, but they can have England do it, or Australia do it, and then we'll spy on the Australians, because they're not allowed to do it to their, and then we'll trade the data.

01:18:09.000 It's really surreptitious.

01:18:11.000 That's how you bypass civil rights, by having the U.K. spying on U.S. citizens, and then the U.S. goes, we didn't spy.

01:18:17.000 Yep.

01:18:18.000 U.K. did.

01:18:20.000 Yeah.

01:18:20.000 They still got the information.

01:18:21.000 I wonder if they have a server that they can both access.

01:18:25.000 I mean, emails.

01:18:27.000 Yeah, right.

01:18:28.000 You know, they'd just be like, hey.

01:18:29.000 I think that was...

01:18:31.000 I don't know the details, but I thought that was actually proven.

01:18:34.000 Like, there was a dude that had...

01:18:37.000 A foreign intel agency spy on his girlfriend to find out if she was cheating on him or something like that.

01:18:43.000 That probably happens all the time.

01:18:46.000 Dude, I guarantee you there's NSA dudes right now just looking at naked women. 1.00

01:18:51.000 The joke on American Dad was that the CIA has a room full of TV screens displaying the front-facing cameras while you're on the toilet.

01:19:00.000 And then Stan Smith walks in the room and like, it's just part of the background.

01:19:03.000 You see a whole bunch of faces hunched over looking down at their phones.

01:19:07.000 They're typing with their thumbs.

01:19:08.000 And it's just like, that's what the CIA does.

01:19:10.000 Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if you notice like Mark Zuckerberg's computer, he puts tape over the camera.

01:19:15.000 Like if Zuckerberg is doing that, you best be doing that too.

01:19:18.000 But you know, you do what you want.

01:19:19.000 You can buy little windows or little things that you can stick on your phone over the camera and slide it over when you don't want to use it, you know?

01:19:27.000 Yeah, but they figured you out, bro.

01:19:28.000 They put the camera in the screen now.

01:19:31.000 Oh, interesting.

01:19:32.000 They figured it out.

01:19:33.000 They were like, hey, the camera's in the screen now.

01:19:34.000 Now you can't cover it.

01:19:35.000 Really?

01:19:36.000 I've been thinking that that would be a good thing for video chats because it will make it more eye-to-eye.

01:19:41.000 There was a smartphone called the F1, I believe it was, had a mechanical front-facing camera.

01:19:47.000 When you turned it on, a little thing would come up and go and pop up.

01:19:52.000 So, I used it for a little while, and then I was like, eh, you know, whatever, I'm gonna upgrade to the latest Android.

01:19:58.000 I don't like these non, you know, I like the Galaxy phones, they're good.

01:20:01.000 I don't like these other Android phones.

01:20:03.000 So I asked Allison, I was like, hey, do you want to use this one?

01:20:05.000 It's a new phone, you have a new phone, and I'm gonna buy the new S-whatever.

01:20:08.000 And she's like, sure.

01:20:09.000 One day she was browsing a website, and it opened, and then closed.

01:20:15.000 You know what that means?

01:20:17.000 Website took a picture of her face.

01:20:19.000 Yep.

01:20:20.000 Where'd that picture go?

01:20:22.000 Oh, God.

01:20:23.000 Yep.

01:20:24.000 And how did it get permission to use the camera and do all that stuff?

01:20:27.000 Because a lot of apps, it'll say, like, this app is requesting permission.

01:20:30.000 I suppose if you allow your browser as an app to use the camera, if a website sends in a call to take a picture of your face, it'll do it.

01:20:38.000 So to all those people out there visiting those nutty websites, I bet they got a picture of your face.

01:20:42.000 Yeah, be overt about it.

01:20:44.000 And not a good picture of your face.

01:20:46.000 What, like adult websites?

01:20:47.000 The O-face. 1.00

01:20:48.000 I'm just saying naughty websites, whatever that may be.

01:20:50.000 Holy cow. 0.89

01:20:51.000 Yeah, I got a picture of your face making a weird face.

01:20:53.000 Yep.

01:20:54.000 At least one.

01:20:55.000 Yikes.

01:20:56.000 Yeah, welcome to the new world.

01:20:57.000 Aw, dude, come on.

01:20:58.000 The government's got everybody spanked, banged. 0.85

01:21:01.000 Probably, yeah.

01:21:02.000 I use Chrome particularly if I ever go to porn sites.

01:21:05.000 Ian, you did content moderation for Minds, and they made you look at the worst things in human history?

01:21:13.000 Well, fortunately not.

01:21:15.000 Fortunately, it was reasonable to the point that I didn't have to see a lot of gore, and I didn't see any child porn.

01:21:21.000 Thank God.

01:21:21.000 But imagine you're like...

01:21:23.000 You're working for the U.S. government, and you're in one of these data centers that is stealing it, and you're, there's like, I'm imagining at the NSA, they have just like different rooms for different things, like these are political dissidents, these are pop star stalkers, and then they have like, hell.

01:21:39.000 And they're like, the guy who walks out is just like, his hair is all messed up and his eyes are blackened.

01:21:45.000 And he's like, how's it going, guys?

01:21:46.000 And they're like, you know, the new guy walks in and he's like, who is that?

01:21:50.000 And they're like, that's Jim.

01:21:50.000 Like, why?

01:21:52.000 What's wrong with him?

01:21:52.000 Like, well, he was normal two weeks ago, but then he got relocated to the hell room.

01:21:56.000 And that's what happens to you.

01:21:57.000 Troops walking out to the front in World War I, seeing the guys coming back from the front, all broken and twisted.

01:22:03.000 I imagine it's worse.

01:22:05.000 Dude, I interviewed JJ. I'm not even going to begin to describe these.

01:22:09.000 On the members-only show, we'll talk about it, but we're not going to even describe the kind of things that might appear on the show.

01:22:15.000 We interviewed Tim Ballard, who's basically the star, the character in, what's the name of that movie?

01:22:23.000 Tim Ballard is the guy who went down to South America to rescue the children that had been kidnapped.

01:22:27.000 What was the name of that movie?

01:22:28.000 We went and saw it.

01:22:29.000 Sound of Freedom.

01:22:30.000 Yeah, Sound of Freedom.

01:22:31.000 It was based around Tim Ballard and he spent a lot of time reviewing tape, reviewing video of children and it messed, I mean, it messed him up.

01:22:40.000 And I've interviewed other people that have worked in that line of work.

01:22:43.000 And these are guys that are like seasoned professionals that go in there and come out very with a lot of PTSD, just talking to him about it.

01:22:51.000 It's like, but you can never undo that stuff.

01:22:54.000 Seeing it, just seeing it on a video.

01:22:58.000 Yeah, well, you know, I guess if we're talking about the U.S. government, though, I wonder about the kind of people who are in those positions.

01:23:04.000 If it's like the same people for decades?

01:23:06.000 No, if it was like friends with Epstein and Diddy who are in those rooms monitoring the backhaul or something.

01:23:13.000 Oh, wow.

01:23:13.000 Yeah.

01:23:14.000 The fire hose.

01:23:15.000 People that know people.

01:23:16.000 Yeah, the fire hose.

01:23:17.000 Yeah.

01:23:18.000 That's what we called it at Mines.

01:23:19.000 The firehouse.

01:23:20.000 It's just getting blasted.

01:23:22.000 God knows what.

01:23:23.000 You don't know what's coming next, and you've just got to be like, is that safe for work?

01:23:27.000 Is that legal?

01:23:28.000 Is this one legal?

01:23:29.000 Is this one legal?

01:23:32.000 Fortunately, most of it was...

01:23:33.000 Let's be a landscaper.

01:23:34.000 I'm not doing that job.

01:23:35.000 It was rough, dude.

01:23:36.000 And I didn't realize how rough it was.

01:23:37.000 I did it for about five years or four years, and I started to get to the point, because I worked seven days a week, 24-7.

01:23:44.000 I just had to make sure that it was always clear, that we were always...

01:23:47.000 Everything had been administered, and I was the only one for a long time.

01:23:51.000 And it would start to be where I'd put the work off for the day, and I'd do it for an hour really, really fast.

01:23:56.000 I'd just do it really, really quick, and I'd miss things.

01:23:59.000 I'm like, I can't do that.

01:24:01.000 And then there would be days that sometimes I wouldn't even do it.

01:24:03.000 I'd be like, I just gotta wait.

01:24:04.000 And then the next day, the queue would be doubled up, and I'm like, oh my god, I'm dreading this.

01:24:08.000 I just didn't realize how traumatizing, in retrospect, how traumatizing it was.

01:24:13.000 I just thought it was...

01:24:14.000 Boring at the time I was telling myself that I'm just it's just menial labor that I just don't but it was like simple It wasn't a lot of work.

01:24:20.000 It was just what the work itself was like And then I started seeing articles about like Facebook admins.

01:24:25.000 They're like, you know, bro We we we got to delegate this kind of work out to different brains because it's like poison for a human brain It sounds like you had no work-life balance there either.

01:24:35.000 It's like 24 7 you have monitoring or thinking about this thing.

01:24:38.000 Yes, constantly.

01:24:39.000 This was what my life was for like years and You ever feel like that about social media, Tim?

01:24:43.000 Like it's all-encompassing and it can just drive you crazy and it's always on the clock?

01:24:46.000 I think the problem with social media is that it destroyed culture.

01:24:54.000 I don't know that I care so much about its ubiquity other than its combination of ubiquity and decentralization, which has just gutted most cultures.

01:25:03.000 It's created this short-term attention span where great works are hard to come by.

01:25:09.000 You know?

01:25:10.000 So we don't have music videos anymore.

01:25:12.000 Now we have TikTok dances with a song.

01:25:16.000 And, you know, I'll give you one example.

01:25:19.000 Actually, I don't need to give you an example.

01:25:20.000 Just look at these bands.

01:25:21.000 Look at their Spotify's.

01:25:22.000 Their number one song will be like Hit Song.

01:25:25.000 Underneath it will be Hit Song 2X Speed.

01:25:27.000 Below it will be like Hit Song Half Speed.

01:25:30.000 Below it will be like Hit Song Remix.

01:25:32.000 Because it's just for TikTok.

01:25:34.000 Yeah.

01:25:35.000 And then they do, like, they're the chipmunks.

01:25:41.000 They chipmunkify a song.

01:25:43.000 And so you'll have a song where it's like, the guy will be singing like, you know I'm gonna come get down with it.

01:25:48.000 And then you watch it on TikTok.

01:25:50.000 Yeah.

01:25:52.000 Yeah, skibbity toilet.

01:25:53.000 Yeah, just all that kind of stuff.

01:25:55.000 I've noticed that it incentivizes me to want to create that kind of stuff to get the algorithm to send it to the top, like shorts.

01:26:02.000 Like albums are done?

01:26:04.000 Like music albums would be a big deal, a big release party, everyone got excited, they showed up for this big party.

01:26:09.000 And it encouraged bands to get together and focus for like three to six weeks to write an album.

01:26:14.000 But it concentrated that one moment and created a cultural moment.

01:26:17.000 Now it's just a constant stream and it's flat.

01:26:20.000 You're financially motivated to make that short form content and to pump out stuff constantly.

01:26:24.000 Like me, I only drop a YouTube video once a month or once every six weeks and it's not the best business model.

01:26:29.000 Oh yeah, YouTube's going to punish you like crazy.

01:26:31.000 Yeah, not the best business model.

01:26:33.000 So there used to be a thing called skate videos where a company would put out their video and it was like an album dropping where, you know, a team would have like eight or ten writers or whatever.

01:26:42.000 And then each person have a part in the video.

01:26:44.000 And it was a big deal.

01:26:45.000 There were huge parties, premieres at movie theaters.

01:26:47.000 And it was like, wow.

01:26:48.000 And no one knew what the tricks were going to be on video.

01:26:51.000 You can't do it anymore.

01:26:53.000 You know, some have tried, and they put the video out on YouTube, but it doesn't work because there's this funny story where a dude did a trick, a really good trick, and then he was like, don't tell anybody I did it, and some little kid was across the street filming on his phone and posted it online, and everyone saw it, and it just...

01:27:09.000 Now you can't sell it.

01:27:10.000 The idea was, like, we film all these tricks, put in a video, we sell the video, and it helps the company stay afloat because it's media that people like.

01:27:16.000 Internet's gotten rid of all that stuff.

01:27:18.000 Now it's just post a clip.

01:27:19.000 It's a 10-second clip.

01:27:20.000 You're gonna watch it.

01:27:20.000 You're gonna get views.

01:27:21.000 You're gonna hopefully make money and build followers.

01:27:22.000 Did you find on tour that it was, like, reinvigorating for you?

01:27:27.000 Did it remind you of how it used to be to make music?

01:27:30.000 What was that like?

01:27:31.000 On tour, it doesn't remind you of making music because you're performing.

01:27:37.000 So that's a whole different animal.

01:27:40.000 Recording and writing and stuff is a very different experience than being on tour and performing the songs.

01:27:47.000 Would you encourage bands in the modern age to tour?

01:27:50.000 Yes.

01:27:51.000 If you want to be a band, yes.

01:27:54.000 But it's not easy and Spotify has made it really difficult for...

01:28:00.000 It makes it easier for bands to get their music out to people, but it's not nearly as profitable as it used to be.

01:28:07.000 Like you used to go and...

01:28:08.000 Like in the 90s you would get a record deal and they would give you X amount of dollars to go and make a record.

01:28:14.000 And so...

01:28:14.000 You could either spend it all on making the record or you could spend half of it on making the record and half to live on.

01:28:20.000 And the amount of money that they gave you was significant because they knew that people were going to buy CDs.

01:28:27.000 So they knew that there was going to be a return on it.

01:28:29.000 With the advent of streaming and stuff, all that stuff changed.

01:28:33.000 Now, you can make a record for significantly less nowadays than you could in the 90s.

01:28:39.000 You don't have to go to a studio for everything.

01:28:42.000 You can do most of it either in one room or at home or in a smaller space than a studio or whatever.

01:28:50.000 But you still have to be able to record drums and stuff like that, at least if you're in a band.

01:28:58.000 But man, it's not the same with streaming.

01:29:02.000 You just don't make, you know, you don't make nearly the money that you used to make, you know, or bands used to make.

01:29:08.000 Do you think this is more of an ethical question?

01:29:10.000 Do you think that that's righteous?

01:29:12.000 No, because Spotify pays for a license for the song.

01:29:16.000 And then you get like, you know,.0007 cents for every stream.

01:29:23.000 It's horrible.

01:29:25.000 I went through a phase where I was like, I think actors are overpaid.

01:29:29.000 Like, a guy does a movie and gets $7 million.

01:29:30.000 How many people actually get that?

01:29:33.000 That's fine.

01:29:34.000 Yeah.

01:29:34.000 You think so?

01:29:35.000 Absolutely.

01:29:35.000 Like a professional athlete?

01:29:37.000 Because it's just such a few people, like it's the best of the best of the best.

01:29:40.000 Robert Downey Jr.

01:29:40.000 is going to get $30 million to do a movie.

01:29:42.000 Yeah, and they're like, what did he do?

01:29:43.000 He sat around for six weeks?

01:29:45.000 Like, I've done that job.

01:29:46.000 It's not worth $60 million or whatever they're getting paid at the top.

01:29:49.000 Because Robert Downey Jr.

01:29:50.000 makes a billion dollar movie.

01:29:52.000 I guess he's getting a percentage of the return.

01:29:54.000 No, he gets a $30 million.

01:29:56.000 So I think for like Iron Man 3 or something, it was like $30 million salary.

01:29:59.000 And then he probably gets a couple points, you know, or whatever.

01:30:03.000 But they know.

01:30:06.000 At first, they didn't want him.

01:30:08.000 They didn't want Robert Downey Jr.

01:30:09.000 for the first Iron Man because he was like an addict and unreliable and then he proved himself.

01:30:13.000 But it was a smash hit.

01:30:15.000 Iron Man was amazing.

01:30:16.000 Everybody loved it.

01:30:17.000 Everyone loved Robert Downey Jr.

01:30:19.000 They loved him so much, after they killed off Tony Stark, they're bringing him back as Doctor Doom!

01:30:22.000 So then the movie industry is still making money on sales for tickets and stuff, but the music industry has kind of collapsed in that respect?

01:30:31.000 Well, yeah, because there are some services that are like Spotify for movies, but for the most part, they have this...

01:30:38.000 And this is probably the way it should be done right now for music, but for movies...

01:30:42.000 So right now, I think Spider-Man No Way Home is not available on Disney+.

01:30:47.000 If you want to watch it, you've got to buy it on Amazon.

01:30:50.000 Because I think it's a Sony movie, so I don't know if it'll ever even be, but it's not a good example.

01:30:53.000 But when a movie goes to theaters, after it comes out, it goes to Amazon where you can buy it.

01:30:58.000 Then eventually it'll end up on one of these streaming services as like, you know, you pay 15 bucks a month and you get access to movies.

01:31:04.000 Netflix used to have movies, they don't anymore.

01:31:06.000 Now it's like all Netflix stuff.

01:31:07.000 It's just like a unique thing.

01:31:09.000 So Spotify should have like a buy this album $9.99 for the first month or three months or something and then it goes to streaming?

01:31:16.000 Yeah, it should.

01:31:18.000 I don't know that Spotify should do it because the actual person that made the record, you might want to say, okay, we're going to wait to put it on Spotify.

01:31:27.000 Or Spotify might say, you know, maybe they'd say we're not going to take it right away.

01:31:30.000 Because if Spotify takes it and puts it on sale, Spotify is going to take a cut of that.

01:31:35.000 And I don't know how much they're going to...

01:31:36.000 They're going to say they're hosting it, so they're going to say, well, we're going to take a boatload of it.

01:31:42.000 They're going to literally charge you for digital space.

01:31:44.000 Record companies come up with all kinds of crazy ways to backcharge you, so I imagine Spotify would do the same thing.

01:31:53.000 Because it's kind of like the modern record company is Spotify...

01:31:56.000 Or Bandcamp?

01:31:57.000 No, no, because with a record company, no, no, it's not Bandcamp.

01:32:01.000 Because record companies are like, they give you something.

01:32:04.000 Record companies actually go out of their way to promote your music.

01:32:07.000 Record companies advance you money to do the record.

01:32:10.000 And record companies own the record, right?

01:32:13.000 So when you make a record, when you make a record for the record company, they own that music, and you only get a portion of it.

01:32:19.000 Spotify never owns your music.

01:32:21.000 They license it.

01:32:22.000 From the record company or from you if you made the record.

01:32:25.000 They do the promotion.

01:32:27.000 They could.

01:32:27.000 Spotify doesn't promote.

01:32:30.000 They put you in their algorithm.

01:32:31.000 Right, right.

01:32:32.000 So YouTube would promote a video to the front page of YouTube.

01:32:34.000 Spotify could promote their up-and-coming $10 for the newest albums.

01:32:38.000 You see what's hot.

01:32:39.000 You pay Spotify.

01:32:41.000 They don't promote you.

01:32:42.000 You pay Spotify to get a better spot in the algorithm.

01:32:46.000 Yeah, like labels will help you with like playlist seating and things of that nature.

01:32:50.000 What you want to do is you want to get your band onto play or your song or whatever onto playlists.

01:32:54.000 And as you release music, your position and the algorithm gets better for you essentially.

01:32:59.000 So if you put one song out, it's going to do X. Then you wait six weeks or whatever and put another song out, it gets better.

01:33:06.000 And you wait another six weeks and you put another song out and it gets better.

01:33:09.000 And that's the reason why bands don't put out a record.

01:33:13.000 And then have the singles come out after.

01:33:17.000 It used to be you'd release a record, your first single would come out, then however long, three months later you put another single out, three months later you put another single out.

01:33:25.000 Nowadays you put out a song, then you wait a few weeks, six weeks or whatever, then you put out another song, then another song, then another song, and then another song, and then you put the record out.

01:33:34.000 I guess, oh, okay.

01:33:36.000 It makes sense, I mean, that you can do that, because the whole putting a record out all at once is just kind of a limitation of the creation of the body of, like, the record itself.

01:33:46.000 It's like, I'm not going to make 12 records.

01:33:47.000 I'm going to make one with as many on it.

01:33:50.000 You could buy it.

01:33:50.000 They used to have CDs with two songs on them.

01:33:52.000 Yeah, yeah, like an EP or A-side, B-side or something.

01:33:57.000 Yeah, and they had two sets too with two songs.

01:33:58.000 I guess you could have went that route, but to be in a studio is just easier for bands to get in there, record all of it at once.

01:34:03.000 Well, that's what you do.

01:34:04.000 You go in, you record it all at once, and then you release one single.

01:34:08.000 Then you release, six weeks later, you release another single that you recorded in that one recording session.

01:34:13.000 And then you record, you know, you release a third single.

01:34:16.000 And then you release a fourth single.

01:34:18.000 Maybe you put out four or five singles, then you release the record.

01:34:20.000 But the point of doing that is you're getting the best results in the algorithm that you can get for the record to come out.

01:34:29.000 Because now it's relying on a digital algorithm instead of radio jockeys knowing the song ahead of time and deciding what to give.

01:34:37.000 It's both.

01:34:39.000 The people who are on the playlist will just be like, nah, we don't want this one.

01:34:41.000 Yeah.

01:34:42.000 When you had radio, you would have someone at your label that would be your radio guy that would know the program directors of the radio stations that would play your style of music.

01:34:55.000 So there was a guy that used to work for Razor& Tie when we were at Razor& Tie.

01:35:00.000 His name was Kurt.

01:35:00.000 He was great.

01:35:01.000 And he would know all the program directors at the radio stations that were likely to play us.

01:35:07.000 So when we had new stuff coming out, he'd call them up.

01:35:10.000 He'd be like, hey, are you going to play the new All That Remains song?

01:35:13.000 You know, come on, you got to play it.

01:35:14.000 Have you heard it?

01:35:14.000 Did you take a listen to it?

01:35:15.000 And basically he would just sit there and pester him to promote the program directors to listen to the song and see if they'll go ahead and start testing it to see how it tests at the radio station.

01:35:24.000 Or if you have a history with the radio station, they'll just say, yes, the new All That Remains song is coming out.

01:35:33.000 We'll play it.

01:35:34.000 You know, like after...

01:35:35.000 Go ahead.

01:35:35.000 So our first, our first, you know, the first songs that we got into the radio, it took convincing because what they want, what radio stations want is they want to build a relationship.

01:35:43.000 They want to know if, you know, all that remains is coming to town.

01:35:45.000 We want to be able to say, hey, they're going to come to town and it's, you know, blah, blah, blah radio station that's bringing them to town and they're going to come into the studio and they're going to talk on, you know, we're going to do an interview and blah, blah, blah.

01:35:57.000 And we're going to be at the show hanging out with the band and stuff.

01:36:01.000 And they want to know that you're going to keep putting singles out that they can play.

01:36:04.000 So that way they'll have...

01:36:07.000 You as one of the bands and people will listen to that radio station if they like the band.

01:36:12.000 So getting into that kind of group or getting into a radio station is harder.

01:36:17.000 But once you get a few songs that they like, then they're like, okay, we will definitely play the new All That Remains song.

01:36:24.000 There's a bunch of radio stations that nowadays there aren't as many terrestrial radio stations as there were 10 years ago.

01:36:29.000 But there were a lot of radio stations that when we put out a song, they were like, yes, of course, we're going to play the All That Remains song because we've got great history with them.

01:36:36.000 We're going to go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know, and become a member at TimKest.com.

01:36:43.000 We're going to have that Josh Siter social experiment expose video up Friday in the morning at some point for members only.

01:36:50.000 And, of course, we'll have that members only show coming up at 10 p.m.

01:36:53.000 tonight, but for now, we'll grab your Super Chats.

01:36:55.000 Legama says, Tim, I was worried you'd call it quits a few days ago when you had Landau on.

01:36:59.000 Good to see you still with us, at least for now.

01:37:01.000 Cheers.

01:37:02.000 Well, here, here.

01:37:03.000 Thanks for the Super Chat, good sir.

01:37:04.000 Shout out to Dave Landau.

01:37:06.000 Giza Moonshadow says, Kamala is close family friend with Lauren, there's an E at the end of it, Powell Jobs, the Atlantic owner, and she is besties with Ghislaine Maxwell.

01:37:15.000 This is why she did a press conference on the Hitler hit piece.

01:37:19.000 Indeed, that was their plan.

01:37:23.000 Michael Bohr says, congratulations Tim on becoming a father.

01:37:25.000 My wife is 21 weeks pregnant after four years of infertility.

01:37:28.000 Well, congratulations.

01:37:29.000 Oh, that's awesome, dude.

01:37:31.000 Stacy Strickland says, Hey Tim, please shout out my husband, Mark.

01:37:34.000 His birthday is today.

01:37:35.000 And he is now the big 3-0.

01:37:38.000 Dirty 30.

01:37:38.000 Thank you so much.

01:37:40.000 Happy birthday, Mark.

01:37:40.000 Congratulations.

01:37:42.000 Good job.

01:37:43.000 Mark.

01:37:45.000 All right.

01:37:46.000 What's this we have here?

01:37:47.000 Villainous Visa has been watching since Trump was elected and glad to see you still doing the live show with my favorite professional stick yeller.

01:37:53.000 Also got my got hand surgery tomorrow.

01:37:55.000 Wish me a speedy recovery.

01:37:56.000 Congrats, by the way.

01:37:57.000 Very much.

01:37:58.000 Thank you very much.

01:37:59.000 Good luck and best wishes, man.

01:38:00.000 Yes.

01:38:01.000 Rest those forearms, baby.

01:38:03.000 Ted Thornton says, their source close to Trump is a homeless man under the overpass that peed on Trump Tower.

01:38:09.000 The overpass that peed on Trump Tower?

01:38:12.000 That's the joke I like to make.

01:38:13.000 The media will be like, a source close to Nancy Pelosi's office suggests that blah, blah, blah, and the source is a homeless guy in the alley.

01:38:19.000 Well, yes, he's close to her office.

01:38:21.000 What do you think we meant?

01:38:22.000 They say, I love it when they say, according to a source who's familiar with Trump's thinking...

01:38:28.000 And then they just write whatever.

01:38:29.000 It's like, do people really fall for this?

01:38:32.000 A source who knows Trump's thinking says that Trump wants ice cream right now.

01:38:38.000 What?

01:38:40.000 You're going to read his mind?

01:38:41.000 Yes.

01:38:42.000 I believe it.

01:38:43.000 Yeah.

01:38:44.000 Who knows what the CIA's got going on, right?

01:38:46.000 Alright, what do we got here?

01:38:49.000 Ian Slater says, what if Dems go for Geneva rules?

01:38:52.000 World Court.

01:38:53.000 What does that mean?

01:38:54.000 I don't know.

01:38:54.000 I'm going to look it up.

01:38:55.000 Well, I know about the World Court and the Geneva Convention and all that stuff, but what does that mean?

01:38:58.000 Democrats go for it?

01:39:01.000 Like they do it here?

01:39:02.000 They want to put it here or something?

01:39:03.000 I'm not sure.

01:39:05.000 All right.

01:39:07.000 Shadav the Vedmark says, Breaking news, Sargon's channel is re-monetized.

01:39:12.000 Source, his live stream like 20 minutes ago, which ended now.

01:39:15.000 Yeah, he messaged me about it.

01:39:16.000 That's awesome.

01:39:17.000 They brought him back!

01:39:18.000 Good.

01:39:19.000 Now that they've realized they should embrace podcasting.

01:39:22.000 Yeah, and Carl's very, very balanced, dude.

01:39:24.000 You know what's fascinating is that YouTube had the first big podcasts and rejected them and smashed them.

01:39:31.000 Oops.

01:39:32.000 It's crazy, right?

01:39:32.000 They were scared.

01:39:33.000 They were like, no, no, we don't want this.

01:39:34.000 We don't want podcasts.

01:39:35.000 Now podcasts are the biggest, most lucrative thing ever.

01:39:37.000 They're like, we should do podcasts.

01:39:39.000 Well, it's too bad, YouTube. 1.00

01:39:41.000 Man, you really screwed that one up, you morons. 1.00

01:39:44.000 Still got a head start, though. 1.00

01:39:45.000 X is coming, but you still got a head start.

01:39:47.000 I don't know if X is going to be able to pull it off.

01:39:48.000 I know they need a good video searching system.

01:39:50.000 No, the issue is that, you know, seven, eight years ago, when we're all producing YouTube videos, YouTube, you could see in the analytics when they just downranked all podcasts.

01:40:00.000 It was basically, there were no YouTube podcasts at the time, it was YouTube commentary, and they were like, we don't want this, downrank it.

01:40:08.000 Now it's the biggest media and the most lucrative, and YouTube is like, let's make a podcast section.

01:40:15.000 Yes.

01:40:15.000 Now they're prioritizing it and boosting channels, and it's too bad.

01:40:19.000 It's too bad.

01:40:20.000 They could have been number one.

01:40:21.000 You still can be.

01:40:22.000 Boost my channel.

01:40:23.000 You'll be number one.

01:40:23.000 They are technically number one, but it's usually short form.

01:40:26.000 So, you know, a lot of podcasts are long.

01:40:28.000 You'll watch, you know, be like 45 minutes, maybe two hours.

01:40:30.000 Like this one on Apple or Spotify or whatever is going to be like, you know, two hours long.

01:40:34.000 But on YouTube, it's 10-minute videos.

01:40:37.000 And so they're calling those podcasts, which is technically true, but...

01:40:40.000 Oh.

01:40:42.000 Like 10-minute interviews?

01:40:43.000 Well, like when I do a segment on my morning show and it's 10 minutes long.

01:40:46.000 They call it a podcast?

01:40:48.000 It's part of my podcast.

01:40:48.000 It is a podcast.

01:40:50.000 It's funny that it all comes from the iPod.

01:40:52.000 It all comes from Steve Jobs and that Apple podcast.

01:40:54.000 No, I don't believe that's true.

01:40:55.000 Well, that's what he claimed, Steve Jobs.

01:40:58.000 Podcasting was created by some dude.

01:41:00.000 We talked about this on the show already.

01:41:01.000 Yeah, but then I looked it up and I got it that Jobs was like, they named it after my iPod.

01:41:05.000 No, POD meant something.

01:41:08.000 iPod podcast.

01:41:09.000 We can look into it after the show.

01:41:11.000 We did this on the show.

01:41:13.000 Oh, the etymology says, say, it's a portmanteau of iPod and broadcast.

01:41:17.000 Yeah, Apple.

01:41:18.000 Let's see, Ben Hammersley, who coined it in February 2004, writing an article for the Guard newspaper.

01:41:22.000 It was audio blogging, community in September 2004, blah, blah, blah, an iPod or dev mailing list.

01:41:27.000 Okay, so maybe you're right.

01:41:27.000 this.

01:41:28.000 It was adopted by podcaster Adam Curry.

01:41:31.000 Despite the etymology, the content can be accessed using any computer.

01:41:34.000 The term podcast predates Apple's edition of podcasting features the iPod and iTunes software.

01:41:39.000 The idea of podcasting came after people started saying it, but it was definitely that pod, that iPod.

01:41:47.000 iPod.

01:41:48.000 Such a funny nerd.

01:41:49.000 They were awful at the time. 0.96

01:41:50.000 It was funny because, like, MP3 players were trash.

01:41:53.000 Did you get the first iPod at the time?

01:41:54.000 No, I did not.

01:41:55.000 I had a much, much cheaper and more effective digital MP3 player.

01:41:59.000 Yeah, they were.

01:41:59.000 It was this big, and I put a memory card in it, and I had, you know, I don't know, all of the songs that I wanted on it.

01:42:07.000 You had, like, those circular dial things that you would spin your finger around on, the one button in the middle you'd push?

01:42:12.000 Oh, what groundbreaking.

01:42:12.000 I hated iPods.

01:42:14.000 Because I used to have a CD, Walkman, that I'd do.

01:42:16.000 Dude, before any of that, I had a PDA. It was the Windows PDA, and it had a stylus, and I'd put songs on it, and I'd plug in my headphones, put it in my pocket, and I'd use that.

01:42:29.000 Pretty sure that was before the iPod.

01:42:32.000 Actually, this would have been, yeah, I think just before.

01:42:35.000 Was it a personal digital assistant?

01:42:38.000 PDA? Yeah.

01:42:39.000 And it had a PCI adapter, so you could plug it in, and then it was like this massive thing, and you'd stick an internet card to give it Wi-Fi.

01:42:47.000 It was crazy.

01:42:48.000 That's pretty nice sounding.

01:42:49.000 I don't even know.

01:42:49.000 How do you remember where I got that thing?

01:42:51.000 What year?

01:42:51.000 This was like 2004, or like end of 2003-ish.

01:42:56.000 Because these things, it was really funny, too.

01:42:56.000 That's awesome.

01:42:58.000 I remember when I had a candy bar phone, and I worked at O'Hare, and all the dudes from the Philippines had more advanced phones from Asia, and they were showing, like, the huge screens and, like, the games, and I was like, whoa!

01:43:10.000 And I looked at him, I was playing Snake.

01:43:11.000 Oh, yeah.

01:43:12.000 And I was like, wow!

01:43:13.000 And then I upgraded the singular rocker, it was called, and it had speakers on the side, it could play MP3s.

01:43:19.000 Yeah, do you remember that one?

01:43:20.000 Mm-hmm.

01:43:21.000 And then they told me it had unlimited messaging, so I downloaded AOL Instant Messenger and I was using it, and then they billed me like $8,000.

01:43:27.000 Did you dispute it?

01:43:28.000 Yeah, and they told me it's too bad.

01:43:30.000 What? 0.99

01:43:31.000 Yeah, I said, screw off. 0.96

01:43:31.000 And I was like, okay, bye. 0.96

01:43:33.000 I was like, I don't got any money.

01:43:34.000 Later.

01:43:34.000 It's like, I work at the airport, dude.

01:43:36.000 It's crazy.

01:43:37.000 It's nuts.

01:43:38.000 Then we got the, what was it, the Razor?

01:43:40.000 Oh yeah, the Razer.

01:43:40.000 Mm-hmm.

01:43:41.000 My first, I got the Galaxy S1. It was just called the Galaxy S. I was like, I guess I'll get one of these phones and I'll use this.

01:43:49.000 Is that like the first smartphone you had?

01:43:50.000 Yeah.

01:43:51.000 That was 2010, I think.

01:43:51.000 Wild.

01:43:54.000 The first thing that was close to a smartphone that I had was the Sidekick.

01:43:58.000 Oh yeah!

01:43:59.000 The T-Mobile Sidekick.

01:44:00.000 I had that too.

01:44:01.000 Oh yeah, that thing.

01:44:02.000 I had a Blackberry before that with a little spinny ball.

01:44:04.000 Yep.

01:44:05.000 A Blackberry.

01:44:05.000 Oh yeah.

01:44:06.000 All right.

01:44:06.000 That was fun.

01:44:07.000 Butter Toast 1403 says there's already people saying their printed ballot is stating they didn't select a candidate or it's flipped their vote.

01:44:14.000 Multiple posts on FB from Texarkana.

01:44:18.000 AR Citizens posting about it.

01:44:19.000 I can't verify the authenticity yet.

01:44:22.000 Interesting.

01:44:24.000 Mark Clancy says Judge Joe Brown has pointed out the Biden that Biden can grant asylum to all illegals since 2021 and maybe they can become citizens in five years legal to vote midterms.

01:44:35.000 Yep.

01:44:37.000 Indeed, indeed.

01:44:39.000 Drunk and Rambling says Phil's right.

01:44:41.000 It isn't the legitimacy of the story.

01:44:43.000 They don't need evidence.

01:44:44.000 They just need a rumor.

01:44:45.000 It is very concerning.

01:44:49.000 Yep.

01:44:50.000 The Honium says the DOD directive, I believe it's in context of National Guard counter drug operations with state law enforcement mostly.

01:44:58.000 I'm also suspicious though.

01:45:00.000 Yeah, what was that that you were referring to earlier?

01:45:02.000 I forget the...

01:45:04.000 That's a directive that allows them to use lethal force on American citizens?

01:45:07.000 Mm-hmm.

01:45:09.000 And just because it's intended to be for drug enforcement doesn't mean that it couldn't be used for other activities that the government wants to do.

01:45:16.000 This is like people that question the government or some ridiculous phrase.

01:45:21.000 All right.

01:45:22.000 Peter Gohawk says, this is why we need a federal law for voting.

01:45:26.000 Well, like I was saying, the Constitution prescribes a single day for voting, election day, and then Democrats decided they would have election month and election after month.

01:45:34.000 So now they're saying that we're not going to have the election results in for 10 to 13 days in Maricopa, and Fox is saying we won't know the results of the election until at least the 9th.

01:45:44.000 It's unbelievable.

01:45:45.000 I mean, that's just no.

01:45:47.000 You know what the issue is that Republicans are like, okay.

01:45:50.000 It's like, what do you mean?

01:45:51.000 There's rules.

01:45:52.000 The Constitution is election day.

01:45:54.000 So you just go, no.

01:45:56.000 Election day is over.

01:45:56.000 We have election day.

01:45:57.000 What's the result?

01:45:58.000 Well, we're still waiting for votes.

01:46:00.000 It doesn't matter if the votes come in, the election's over.

01:46:02.000 How does it make sense? 1.00

01:46:02.000 How stupid? 1.00

01:46:04.000 Today's the election day. 1.00

01:46:05.000 Everybody cast your ballots.

01:46:06.000 My vote will be there tomorrow.

01:46:07.000 Okay, well, tomorrow is not election day.

01:46:09.000 Election day is today.

01:46:10.000 We're counting the votes today.

01:46:11.000 Yeah, but my vote will be there tomorrow.

01:46:12.000 It's like, okay, well, here's what we're going to do.

01:46:14.000 When your vote comes in tomorrow, there's a trash can and we'll put it right in there because that's not election day.

01:46:19.000 But Republicans just go, aww, they're going to count votes after. 0.97

01:46:23.000 I guess they win.

01:46:25.000 I don't understand why any—and I'm talking about the politicians and the lawyers.

01:46:29.000 Just be like, no, we don't count votes after Election Day.

01:46:31.000 It's like, you have one day to vote.

01:46:33.000 You want to do mail-in voting?

01:46:35.000 The ballot's got to be here on Election Day to be counted.

01:46:35.000 Fine.

01:46:37.000 Election month.

01:46:38.000 How are they able to do that, though?

01:46:39.000 Is the implication that the Democrats control that decision?

01:46:43.000 The implication is that Republicans just are, I don't know, will-less.

01:46:49.000 Like, one really good example is how Christians don't vote. 1.00

01:46:51.000 And this is, like, tremendously frustrating.

01:46:54.000 In Charleston, it's a really good example.

01:46:56.000 Yeah, they don't vote, though.

01:46:58.000 So, you know, like, obviously they vote to a certain degree, but they largely don't.

01:47:02.000 And what some people say is that Christians believe that they only have to go to church and their duty is fulfilled.

01:47:08.000 And then it's just like, well, you can't fulfill God's mandate on earth if you don't participate in earthly things.

01:47:14.000 But regardless of that, Charlestown is a really good example of they have a Latin mass.

01:47:18.000 They had this procession where 2,000 Catholics marched down the street in protest of the things we're seeing culturally.

01:47:28.000 And then city council in a West Virginia town is liberal, progressive.

01:47:34.000 And I was talking to one of the city council members who was conservative, and he was like, yeah, it's Charlestown passed an ordinance in support of Pride Month.

01:47:42.000 And I was like, how?

01:47:43.000 What?

01:47:44.000 I was like, we're in West Virginia.

01:47:44.000 Charlestown?

01:47:45.000 And he goes, oh, nobody votes.

01:47:47.000 Conservatives don't vote.

01:47:48.000 And I was like, you just had 2,000 Catholics marching through the streets.

01:47:51.000 He's like, yeah, none of them vote.

01:47:52.000 It's really difficult to get them to actually go out and vote.

01:47:57.000 Well, this is what happens, you know?

01:48:00.000 Maybe this is the time where they're going to wake up and they're going to go out and vote in bigger numbers, but you'd think Christians would vote. 1.00

01:48:05.000 I guess they don't.

01:48:06.000 We'll see this time around, though.

01:48:07.000 We will see.

01:48:09.000 Because, uh, they, uh, they, if they don't.

01:48:13.000 All right, Ricardo Bonilla says, I already cancel, uh, casted my early, casted?

01:48:18.000 You already cast your early ballot for Trump here in Tucson, Arizona, and my two adult kids are also voting for Trump.

01:48:24.000 MAGA. Maga?

01:48:28.000 Maga. 0.90

01:48:29.000 Khalil Rose says, glad you're not quitting.

01:48:31.000 Congrats on the new family.

01:48:32.000 I listen literally every morning in the gym.

01:48:34.000 Fight, fight, fight.

01:48:35.000 Phil, you're the ish.

01:48:36.000 Ian, you're okay too.

01:48:37.000 JK, love you, bro.

01:48:38.000 Cheers, man.

01:48:39.000 So there's also YouTube.com slash Timcast News.

01:48:42.000 For those that have not subscribed, you should.

01:48:44.000 Because that show is actually bigger than IRL and has been forever.

01:48:48.000 Gets way more views per segment and gets way more views overall in less time, actually.

01:48:56.000 So IRL is two hours.

01:48:58.000 The morning show is an hour 20.

01:49:00.000 The morning show is broken into segments and gets substantially more viewers.

01:49:03.000 People love a good stream of consciousness.

01:49:05.000 That's for sure.

01:49:06.000 Yeah, that's why they watch, I suppose.

01:49:07.000 Then we have The Culture War on Friday.

01:49:10.000 This Friday we're going to be discussing the fall of empires with Rudyard Lynch, and I don't want to say who else is coming, I don't know if they're confirmed, but we're going to have a mini-discussion and debate on what's going to happen after the election, civil war, etc., in greater depth, which should be shocking and fascinating at the same time.

01:49:28.000 Dud Summon says, Ian has no idea about Australian politics.

01:49:33.000 Goff was a disaster.

01:49:34.000 I don't care.

01:49:35.000 He got removed from office by the governor general, whether he's a disaster or not.

01:49:39.000 The people chose him and then the king removed him or MI6 removed him.

01:49:42.000 That's not what I'm talking about is his quality of governance.

01:49:45.000 I'm talking about the rule of law and people's sovereignty to elect their own leaders.

01:49:50.000 The real fallen demon says Ian is wrong.

01:49:52.000 No coup in Australia.

01:49:54.000 Goff Whitlam got in on withdrawal from Vietnam but also brought in a bunch of Soviet-style reforms, upset the right of the country.

01:50:02.000 Kerr used his constitutional power to remove him.

01:50:05.000 Yeah, Kerr apparently was the CIA whistleblower said that Kerr, the CIA referred to Kerr as their man.

01:50:10.000 The CIA, the American CIA referred to Kerr as their man.

01:50:14.000 And Kerry is the governor general that had Goff removed.

01:50:16.000 You guys should look into it, man.

01:50:17.000 And your problem's not the monarch, then?

01:50:21.000 Well, the monarch's basically controlled by the CIA and MI6. And they're using imperial strategy.

01:50:26.000 They're using imperial decree to remove prime ministers.

01:50:29.000 Or they did need 75.

01:50:32.000 Normies Get Out says you can't have capitalism without a free market, and no such market exists today.

01:50:37.000 It's just in the middle of the ocean.

01:50:37.000 That is not correct.

01:50:41.000 So it's not a big market, but among the ultra-wealthy it is.

01:50:45.000 There are some countries, actually, where you can probably just do whatever you want.

01:50:48.000 I don't know.

01:50:49.000 You can say that, but it is a market that's necessary, and it doesn't have to be a completely free market.

01:50:55.000 That's why China went from being basically objectively, like, abject poverty for the vast majority of its citizens in the 70s to, you know, having a massive, massive economy now.

01:51:08.000 All right, let's see what we got here in the old Super Chats.

01:51:12.000 Let's see.

01:51:13.000 Matthew Picard says, It's good to know you're okay, Brandon.

01:51:15.000 Glad you came out of the incident unscathed.

01:51:18.000 We all know Mayo Mullen would have pooped his pants and kissed his boyfriend.

01:51:22.000 Go watch Mad Men.

01:51:24.000 Yes, go watch Mad Men.

01:51:25.000 Thank you, dude.

01:51:26.000 I appreciate you.

01:51:26.000 Yeah, I'm about to pass Danny Mullen subscribers pretty soon.

01:51:29.000 I'll be dropping the Buckingham Mayonnaise Mullen merch.

01:51:32.000 Where do you get that?

01:51:33.000 Where do people get that merch?

01:51:34.000 Buckinghamshop.com.

01:51:35.000 Not yet, though.

01:51:35.000 Coming soon.

01:51:36.000 I still have about 30,000 subscribers yet, but...

01:51:38.000 Yeah, Tim, this guy at the beginning of my YouTube career tried to like, you know, badmouth me and kind of stifle my growth and I squirted him in the face with mayonnaise in the streets of Austin, Texas and it became a bit of a meme and then now I'm about to pass him in subscribers so it's kind of funny, kind of sweet.

01:51:54.000 Alright.

01:51:54.000 Schlip says, Tim, you're like my dad, except you're still here.

01:51:57.000 Also, any word on the free boards for first 100 subs to the boonies?

01:52:00.000 I got the first email about it.

01:52:01.000 Indeed, they're all sitting out there, and I'm going to go sign them, and then we're going to ship them all out.

01:52:06.000 So everybody will be getting their boards, and we're very excited for that.

01:52:08.000 Very cool.

01:52:10.000 And we sold out once again of the Step on Snack and Find Out boards, which puts us at like, I don't know, 350 boards sold in a month, just on that one.

01:52:18.000 And then the boobies sold over two, probably close to 300 already as well.

01:52:24.000 Shout out to Sam for his boobies board.

01:52:26.000 Everybody loves the blue-footed booby.

01:52:27.000 Do you guys know what a blue-footed booby is?

01:52:29.000 They are Galapagos birds, I believe, and they have blue feet, and they are not scared of people.

01:52:29.000 I do now.

01:52:34.000 So when people show up, they just look at them, and they're all weird, and they got big faces, and they're funny.

01:52:39.000 I don't know why they're called boobies, but people love it. 0.90

01:52:42.000 People love boobies. 1.00

01:52:43.000 I wonder why they're called boobies. 0.98

01:52:46.000 Indeed.

01:52:49.000 CJ says, what do we got here?

01:52:49.000 All right, all right.

01:52:53.000 Congrats on getting married.

01:52:54.000 Best wishes raising based Beanie Baby.

01:52:57.000 I think Republicans won't get the House, Senate, and President.

01:52:59.000 They will make gains at state level.

01:53:00.000 What does the crew think?

01:53:03.000 I mean, I would like to see them get the House and the Senate, but I mean, I don't know.

01:53:10.000 I think that the executive is the target for the left, so I think they're intent on keeping Trump out.

01:53:17.000 I don't think that there's going to be much...

01:53:19.000 I don't think there will be significant shenanigans down ballot.

01:53:23.000 So I would like to see as many Republicans win as possible.

01:53:27.000 I have an answer to why they're called boobies, by the way. 1.00

01:53:30.000 This is according to Brave AI, based on the provided search results.

01:53:33.000 The bird is called booby due to a mishearing of the Spanish word bobo, which means clumsy or foolish. 0.98

01:53:39.000 The early European colonists may have characterized these birds as stupid or clumsy. 1.00

01:53:43.000 I think they are. 1.00

01:53:44.000 Watch videos of them.

01:53:44.000 They're hilarious.

01:53:45.000 That's awesome.

01:53:45.000 Yeah, they like walk and their feet are like this.

01:53:48.000 Can you get one?

01:53:49.000 I don't think so.

01:53:50.000 Actually, you probably could.

01:53:50.000 I want to get one.

01:53:51.000 I don't know.

01:53:51.000 I don't think they're in danger anymore.

01:53:52.000 Imagine having a booby and a capybara in your backyard. 1.00

01:53:54.000 That would be so great.

01:53:56.000 A booby would probably fly away, though.

01:53:56.000 Yeah.

01:53:57.000 Oh, they fly?

01:53:58.000 Yeah, I'm pretty sure they fly.

01:53:59.000 Shucks.

01:54:00.000 But capybaras are great. 0.98

01:54:00.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:54:01.000 Yeah.

01:54:02.000 And I want one.

01:54:02.000 You ever see those videos where they're just chilling in hot springs?

01:54:04.000 Yeah, I want one really bad.

01:54:04.000 Or like when all the animals are chilling around them?

01:54:07.000 Yeah.

01:54:07.000 They're like the friend magnet of animals.

01:54:10.000 They're just like all these, you know.

01:54:11.000 You ever see those videos where like all the animals are drinking at the watering hole and like the lion is there and the gazelle is there but they're just like, we have a truce.

01:54:19.000 Yeah.

01:54:20.000 Like, because you can't screw around with the watering hole, you know?

01:54:22.000 Everybody needs it.

01:54:23.000 If you get into a fight there, like, you're in trouble.

01:54:25.000 Tell that to crocodiles. 0.96

01:54:27.000 Or, not crocodiles, gators.

01:54:29.000 But everything's a prey to the gator, you know what I mean?

01:54:32.000 Yeah.

01:54:33.000 So they're all worried about that.

01:54:34.000 But, like, the lion and the gazelle are sitting there just drinking the water, like, we'll get to it later.

01:54:37.000 Right now, it's like, if we get into a fight at the water and we can't get water, we're in trouble.

01:54:40.000 I'm hungry, but I'm more thirsty than I am hungry.

01:54:43.000 Yep.

01:54:44.000 Yeah, yeah, killing an animal in the water would taint it for everybody.

01:54:47.000 Maybe they do understand that.

01:54:49.000 All right, what have we here?

01:54:52.000 Call Me Tag says, Congratulations, Tim and Allison.

01:54:54.000 Parenthood is the greatest pursuit any one of us can make.

01:54:57.000 Very happy for you.

01:54:58.000 Today is my son's birthday.

01:54:59.000 He just turned four.

01:55:00.000 Love him with all of my heart.

01:55:01.000 Hashtag blessed.

01:55:02.000 Happy birthday.

01:55:03.000 It was the weirdest thing in the world to see a tweet from Newsweek talking about me announcing marriage and a child.

01:55:10.000 I was like, I'm scrolling Twitter, I'm looking at the news, and then there's a big picture of me, and it's like Newsweek.

01:55:14.000 Tim Pool announces restructuring due to marriage and new child.

01:55:18.000 I was like, why did they write this?

01:55:20.000 That's weird.

01:55:21.000 Because you're big news, Tim.

01:55:22.000 I guess.

01:55:23.000 Big time, Tim.

01:55:24.000 Influencer.

01:55:25.000 Congratulations, by the way, brother.

01:55:26.000 Oh, I appreciate it.

01:55:26.000 How long's the babies due?

01:55:28.000 I don't know if I'm supposed to say.

01:55:30.000 Oh, that's okay.

01:55:30.000 Sorry if those...

01:55:30.000 Yeah, but, you know, soon.

01:55:32.000 Not more...

01:55:33.000 Not ten months.

01:55:34.000 Yeah.

01:55:36.000 Soon.

01:55:37.000 I got one coming in about nine weeks.

01:55:38.000 Very, very excited.

01:55:39.000 Oh, right.

01:55:39.000 Congratulations.

01:55:40.000 Yeah.

01:55:41.000 Based.

01:55:42.000 That is very based.

01:55:44.000 All right, what do we got here?

01:55:45.000 Brandon Whitley says, Alex Jones has been saying exactly what Phil is saying, but not saying maybe.

01:55:50.000 Saying it's 100% the plan unless Trump gets ahead and calls it out.

01:55:56.000 Uh-oh.

01:55:57.000 Well done.

01:55:58.000 Let's see.

01:55:59.000 What is this?

01:56:00.000 Tuge technician?

01:56:01.000 Is that how you say that?

01:56:02.000 Ian...

01:56:02.000 Togue?

01:56:03.000 Oh, yeah.

01:56:04.000 Oh.

01:56:05.000 Ian rolls 20s under pressure.

01:56:07.000 That's true sometimes, sir.

01:56:09.000 Thank you.

01:56:10.000 Yeah, so the meme is that, you know, in Dungeons& Dragons, do you know how to play D&D? Oh, no.

01:56:14.000 If you roll a 1, it's a critical failure.

01:56:17.000 It's just the worst possible thing.

01:56:18.000 If you roll a 20, it's a critical success.

01:56:19.000 It's guaranteed to hit.

01:56:20.000 So, like, it could be, you need, you can't, your guy is too weak.

01:56:24.000 You've got a guy, he's got no strength, and he's fighting a gigantic monster.

01:56:29.000 There's no way you can possibly damage him.

01:56:31.000 Then you roll a 20, it's a guaranteed success.

01:56:33.000 And then the master makes up some weird reason how it works, and it's hilarious.

01:56:37.000 You hit him in the eye, his one weak spot that you didn't know about.

01:56:40.000 No, but you've got to be more fun than that.

01:56:41.000 So it's like, I have a level 1 squire.

01:56:45.000 I mean, the squire's not a real roll, but let's say you just started and there's a level 20 dragon.

01:56:49.000 You can deal no damage, you don't have enough strength.

01:56:51.000 And then you have to be like, you swing your sword and it hits the toe of the dragon, which makes the dragon laugh, and he lifts up his toe and looks at it, but then rolls backward accidentally, flipping down, falling down a hill and then banging his head against a tree and going unconscious.

01:57:05.000 Bang, that's Ian?

01:57:06.000 So basically rolling a 20 is when you act like you shouldn't be able to succeed, but you do.

01:57:12.000 You KO. Critical failure.

01:57:14.000 So they say Ian either just totally misses or just totally nails it.

01:57:17.000 You know what helps me totally nail it and roll 20s in a high-pressure conversation is streaming live in the morning.

01:57:23.000 When you go live and go stream of consciousness for an hour or two hours and you are rolling, you have a fantastic memory.

01:57:29.000 It is loosening up my memory.

01:57:31.000 It's awesome.

01:57:34.000 Alright, David Foster says, I'm the executive producer for Redacted News.

01:57:37.000 If you ever need any help with your studio stuff, let me know.

01:57:40.000 Can help you get it set.

01:57:42.000 Love the show, don't leave.

01:57:43.000 Well, we got some plans in the works, but things are going.

01:57:46.000 Things are going.

01:57:47.000 Matthew McMillan says, Tim, did you hear some of the Daily Wire's computers fried themselves the same day as yours?

01:57:52.000 It wasn't the same day, but yes, Michael Knowles had the exact same issue.

01:57:57.000 The control, well, it's almost, the control board, they were trying to go live and it just exploded.

01:58:01.000 So I don't think it literally exploded.

01:58:02.000 It shut down on them.

01:58:03.000 They don't know why.

01:58:04.000 And it's like, how about that?

01:58:06.000 Very strange.

01:58:07.000 What do you think is behind it?

01:58:08.000 Yeah, sometimes computers break.

01:58:09.000 It's coincidence.

01:58:10.000 Yeah.

01:58:10.000 I think the issue may be that I don't know, does the Daily Wire go live all the time?

01:58:16.000 I mean, I don't think they're on YouTube live.

01:58:18.000 They may be.

01:58:20.000 I assume they go live on the...

01:58:22.000 Members only, right?

01:58:24.000 Yeah.

01:58:25.000 Indeed.

01:58:26.000 The Ben Shapiro of Daily Wire?

01:58:27.000 Yeah.

01:58:29.000 Yeah, Michael Knowles was tweeting that he was trying to do his show live, and then...

01:58:32.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:58:36.000 What have we got here?

01:58:38.000 Edmondo says, Super cool to see Brandon on the show.

01:58:41.000 Sorry to hear about what happened to you and your crew, but glad you're all right.

01:58:44.000 Much love and keep on cold-ass riding, brother. 0.76

01:58:48.000 Yeah, can you imagine if I got shot in the head? 0.98

01:58:50.000 That would have been terrible.

01:58:50.000 You didn't get shot, right?

01:58:52.000 That's crazy.

01:58:52.000 I didn't get shot.

01:58:53.000 How many people got hit?

01:58:55.000 Well, that's the thing about switches is they miss.

01:58:57.000 Terrible aim.

01:58:58.000 I imagine they weren't front sight and both hands on it.

01:59:03.000 I'm not a gangster and I don't want any problem with anybody.

01:59:05.000 I didn't work with the police to get these people arrested.

01:59:07.000 I don't want any problems.

01:59:08.000 I want it to be done with the shooting.

01:59:09.000 But yo, they have terrible aim. 1.00

01:59:11.000 Pathetic, pathetic aim. 1.00

01:59:12.000 Well, you're right across the street. 1.00

01:59:14.000 60 rounds, you only landed four.

01:59:15.000 Oh, that's a switch.

01:59:16.000 That's why full auto is...

01:59:19.000 It's not practical.

01:59:20.000 Democrats are like, we have to ban full auto, and it's like, dude, full auto, these people miss everything.

01:59:25.000 I'm an example.

01:59:26.000 Did anyone ever play a video game with full auto?

01:59:28.000 Come on.

01:59:29.000 They simulate when you're spraying and you're missing, and then you're trying to hold the recoil back.

01:59:36.000 To be fair, dudes that are gangbanging and stuff, they're not at the range.

01:59:40.000 They never hit the range.

01:59:42.000 Because if you have a full-auto Glock, like I've shot a full-auto Glock, and you can control them, but you're going to have both hands on it, and you're going to be looking down the sights.

01:59:52.000 That's not cool.

01:59:53.000 No, I mean, none of it's cool.

01:59:55.000 Don't shoot people.

01:59:55.000 All right, everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the show, share it with everyone you know, become a member at TimCast.com, because we're going to go in deep detail on this story and more stories that you've got for us, Brandon.
