The L.A. wildfires are now the costliest disaster in U.S. history, and 74 people have been arrested. TikTok might be sold to Elon Musk, and Jack Posobiec talks about the ActBlue scandal.
00:00:19.000The L.A. wildfires are now expected to be the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, with over $150 billion in damages estimated.
00:00:29.000Police have now allegedly arrested, or I should say they've arrested alleged arsonists, two of them.
00:00:35.000However, the news stories say that these guys were caught in the act.
00:00:39.000So it does look like some of these fires were arson.
00:00:41.000As for the big ones, we don't know for sure.
00:00:43.000It is believed that the principal fire, the Palisades fire, may have been embers burning from a New Year's celebration that never got put out, but we don't know for sure.
00:00:51.000So as of right now, you've got the, I think it's the Hearst, Eaton, and Palisades fires.
00:02:37.000And the 20th Amendment is that chickens, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed.

00:03:16.000Do you realize that in just one week's time, you'll be sitting here behind the microphone, Timcast IRL, and Donald J. Trump will be the president of the United States.
00:03:57.000So, FDR's, it's just so funny that this came up, that...
00:04:02.000FDR's entire National Recovery Act and the National Recovery Agency, the original NRA, this was like the biggest, most expansive form of government.
00:04:10.000It was basically this agency he put together during the New Deal to like take over every single business in the country.
00:04:18.000Well, they were basically, they put these regulations in that basically said that...
00:04:22.000For anyone who wanted to slaughter chickens, I mean, it had to be like this way and done in this form and done in this format and all this other nonsense.
00:04:31.000And it was, believe it or not, it was Schechter Poultry Corp out of New York that came up and challenged this thing and got it completely overturned.
00:04:38.000So basically what I'm saying is there is legitimate Supreme Court jurisprudence that already sets a precedent for the 28th Amendment.
00:04:54.000Jack told me that the second Trump is inaugurated, there's going to be a Pizza Hut renaissance, and I'm really excited.
00:05:01.000Look, did you see, there was this, one of these, one of these, one of these, like, you know, kind of these, like, these, like, Twitter accounts, these X accounts that they post stuff for, like, retweets now, you know, because it's all monetized, and it was talking about nostalgia, and it said, wait a minute, wait a minute, did you see that this...
00:05:17.000Old Pizza Hut is getting turned into a new Pizza Hut.
00:05:38.000It's really about taking all the old Pizza Huts that were abandoned and turning them into Pizza Huts or perhaps a similar named organization thus far.
00:05:49.000What's that city in PA where they got one?
00:06:21.000I'm the lead singer of the Heavy Metal Band, All That Remains.
00:06:22.000I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
00:06:24.000You know, Jack, you mentioned the Pizza Huts, and I, not that I have any problem with Taco Bells, but I do miss the days when you could go to a Pizza Hut and sit down that wasn't also a Taco Bell and a Kentucky Fried Chicken all mixed into one taco.
00:07:42.000And this is something that, and by the way, shout out to the late, great Lou Dobbs, because he used to always talk about Pizza Hut nationalism.
00:07:50.000He said he would be like, Jack, this is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.
00:07:57.000It's about the feeling of community that you could have when you're at Pizza Hut.
00:08:02.000And I do want to make sure we talk about news, but I'm going to say one more thing.
00:08:06.000That video Sam Hyde put out about the unquantifiable, how you can't import immigrants to bringing that back, he's talking about Pizza Hut.
00:08:15.000He's talking about going there and getting your personal pan pizza because you read a book, and the corporation had partnered with schools to get kids to read books, and then you get a little pizza, but then the parents end up buying more pizza, so it worked out for everybody.
00:08:47.000Then we have this from the Daily Mail.
00:08:49.000Firefighters catch second arsonist in the act of starting new blazes in LA, days after cops arrest an illegal immigrant with a blowtorch.
00:08:57.000So not only do we have two suspected arsonists arrested, but a guy on camera wasn't arrested for arson with a blowtorch and locals trying to stop this guy.
00:09:05.000So if we jump over to the airnow.gov website, we can see you've got the Eaton, Hearst, and Palisades.
00:09:11.000Now, the Eaton fire in Altadena and Palisades are the biggest, and they've got no control over this.
00:09:37.000The challenging thing is, for these big fires, dude, if some guy wanted to start a fire and flicked a cigarette into brush, how do you prove that it was arson?
00:09:47.000I mean, of course that guy wanted to start a fire.
00:09:50.000I would imagine that there's multiple of these fires that have been started by people that are just like, man, I could probably get away with it.
00:10:00.000You saw the Bill Malugan report, right, out of Fox News, where he said that he's his source, and Bill's been great on this stuff, that he was saying that it was, in fact, an illegal alien that they believe started the Kenneth fire?
00:10:39.000He's seeing all these fires, and he's saying that there's gangs starting fires inside the houses to get people to evacuate to then loot the house.
00:11:06.000Last I heard, it was somewhere around 10%.
00:11:07.000Well, what's crazy about this whole thing, and I am going to make it political, is like...
00:11:15.000The wildfires in this area are not new.
00:11:18.000This has been going on since the area has existed.
00:11:22.000When the Spanish came there 500 years ago, they would see that there's these very unique physical characteristics to the land, to the wind, to the vegetation that's there that produces this pretty much once a year, pretty much regularly.
00:11:39.000And the natives, by the way, would say, no, no, you can't just leave the forest.
00:13:49.000Something like these systemic racism, you know, wokeism, critical race theory, all these different things, you know, the phantom misogyny that exists.
00:14:33.000Because the whole movie's about the California Water Wars, which are a real thing that happened in the 20s, where basically it came down to who controlled the water in California, basically controlled the land, and what they were doing is they were denying land to specific areas so they could devalue it, so this developer could come in.
00:14:52.000Buy up all the land at an incredibly low value, then incorporate, again, this is a Jack Nicholson movie from the 1970s, then incorporate the valley with the city, then bring the water in.
00:15:04.000This is, by the way, William, was it William Mulholland or John Mulholland?
00:15:08.000William Mulholland was, in real life, Mulholland Drive, that's where the name comes from.
00:15:12.000He was the water director of California, and he was like this totally corrupt guy that participated in all this in the building of the L.A. Aqueduct, and the farmers were...
00:15:22.000We're like bombing it and trying to stop it because it was going to ruin all their farms.
00:15:53.000And so that character of Noah Cross is the one that Daniel Plainview is kind of based on in There Will Be Blood because it's a very similar type of character.
00:16:02.000So I just keep watching all this news and I'm like, this is the plot of Chinatown just over and over and over again.
00:16:21.000When he was asked about why the reservoir was drained, he goes, that's a local reservoir, not a state reservoir.
00:16:26.000Like, he has no responsibility for anything.
00:16:29.000Gone are the days where even if it wasn't the fault of the guy in charge, like, this is what I was saying earlier this morning.
00:16:34.000A house would burn down and the fire chief would say, we let you down on this day.
00:16:40.000And rest assured, we will do better next time.
00:16:43.000Now it's, hey, we didn't start the fire.
00:16:45.000That guy who was in there, he got himself in the wrong place by being in that burning building.
00:16:49.000Did you see the clip of, I don't think it was that one, but it was one of these other...
00:16:54.000LA fire chiefs, and I'm going to be very euphemistic about that, where she said that she wasn't actually sure how the water got into the fire hydrants.
00:17:18.000Well, you know, maybe, I don't know, maybe have...
00:17:21.000Is this one of those things where they say women can't understand generalized knowledge?
00:17:25.000Because it's like, no, we understand that it's not your specific job to put the water in there, but you might want to, I don't know, have a basic understanding of how that works.
00:18:45.000So for those of you out there that are watching this and who have family and friends who are like, Tim's biased, I'm going to explain to you very simply the core of what makes me despise the Democratic Party, progressives, wokeness, etc.
00:19:12.000Former child star Rory Sykes was born blind and had cerebral palsy died Wednesday in the wildfires after his mother said she was unable to save him from their home.
00:19:21.000See, the story is her arm was broken and she couldn't get the cinders off the building.
00:19:28.000She could not carry him out of the building, and he was having trouble walking.
00:21:07.000A man with cerebral palsy who was blind and whose mother desperately tried to carry him out of a building she was terrified would burn down was unable to do so but he got himself in the wrong place.
00:21:31.000That man has died because they are so insistent on hiring a DEI fire diversity officer who has the nerve to say, if you are stuck in a fire, you got yourself in the wrong place.
00:21:44.000Tell that to the disabled man with cerebral palsy.
00:21:49.000Miranda Devine had some, and it's not directly related to this, but it's related to DEI. She had this huge piece last year about the FBI, and kind of similar situation.
00:22:00.000We're talking about people who are supposed to be first responders, that type of thing.
00:22:04.000And she had these whistleblowers coming through in FBI recruitment who were actual recruiters and trainers in Quantico, and they were talking about how in the DEI policies that if somebody was considered a DEI candidate, they weren't allowed to fail them.
00:22:20.000Even if they didn't pass the physical test, and again, this is FBI, but you could see these policies everywhere.
00:22:26.000And so if you couldn't pass the physical test, even if you were 50 pounds overweight, even if you were illiterate and couldn't write, A basic report.
00:22:35.000Even if you couldn't pass the, obviously, intellectual, investigative tests, you were all pushed forward.
00:22:40.000And they would try to fail people, and they would come back and say, oh no, this person, you know, you can't fail someone of this gender because we need to meet this quota, or you can't fail someone of this sexual orientation, or you can't fail them because it's a minority and it's a female, so, you know, and it was all headquarters, and it was all Chris Wray, and was pushing this down, and this crap, it's...
00:23:11.000It's all these bad policies coming to a head and killing people.
00:23:14.000I don't know if it was last year or the year before.
00:23:16.000Well, I don't know if it was 2024 to 2023, but there were a lot of people that were talking about the idea of a crisis of competence was coming.
00:24:45.000At the time, when people were saying diversity hiring is going to cause a plane to fall out of the sky, how could anyone have predicted that diversity measures would burn down Los Angeles?
00:25:10.000So we criticize the fact that these people are incapable of doing their jobs to the point where LA's got a fire chief saying, your husband got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.
00:25:27.000And it's a problem of hiring people who are bad at their jobs or unwilling to do them for the sake of hiring a person who is a certain race or sexual orientation.
00:25:35.000Or sexual fetish now, which is a really weird thing, by the way, but it's happening.
00:25:38.000What it comes down to as well is in terms of the predictive groups or the protected groups and the classes, it's not even all that different from what you saw in the Soviet Union.
00:25:47.000Because it's all predicated on this idea that everyone can be equal.
00:26:19.000And so, of course, the real question, though, is...
00:26:23.000Is it just incompetence at the base level?
00:26:26.000Or is it, as I would argue in this clip right here, and I wrote a whole book about this and got smeared and attacked and everything, is it on some level they view you as the problem?
00:26:42.000This is the Luigi Maggioni situation, where this guy is an affluent white male, and therefore he needs to go down.
00:26:51.000Because Luigi Maggioni had picked a different target, had picked someone who was potentially in one of these protected classes, guess what?
00:28:24.000I'm not saying that this was done, but there have been time and time again where even the FBI has put out reports saying that eco-terrorists are one of the number one causes.
00:28:33.000I'm not saying these ones specifically were YouTube sensors or whatever, but it has been reported many, many, many times.
00:28:40.000And it's because they take on, which, funny enough, we were, even before the fire started, I was...
00:28:47.000I've been giving my kids the Batman marathon.
00:28:49.000I was showing them the old Batman movies, like the Tim Burton, the Joel Schumacher movies, and Mask of the Phantasm, of course, the best one.
00:28:56.000And Poison Ivy's character in Batman and Robin, which we all kind of laugh at that movie, her character wants to kill all of humanity so that plants can take back the world.
00:30:35.000Claim the LA authorities linked the wildfires to three Trump supporters.
00:30:39.000Quote, apparently LAPD are looking for three persons of interest all tied to a MAGA website who are spotted at the source of all three major fires.
00:30:46.000This might have been the opening salvo in Trump's war against any state he considers an enemy within.
00:30:52.000The post was shared more than 200 times in four days.
00:32:07.000Like, half a billion dollars to Joe Biden's re-elect in 2020 through his, you know, through Zuckerbucks and this whole system that eventually sees CCL, which helps Biden get re-elected.
00:32:49.000I want to see that something on Instagram or Facebook or threads has actually changed.
00:32:55.000If this was actually a pendulum swing for Zuckerberg?
00:32:58.000Because boards don't run organizations.
00:33:00.000Zuckerberg would have come out and said, to improve the system, we're adding 10 conservative fact checkers to the website, giving them the ability to downrank news that they find to be incorrect.
00:34:10.000Is just turn around and instead of addressing the people in the crowd, start addressing all of the politicians in the balcony that's right behind him and then have Stephen Miller just walk up with his stack of 100 executive orders and he just reads the title off and Trump just signs it.
00:34:27.000And then, oh, by the way, we're going to be deploying the U.S. Army from Fort Travis directly to the fires in the Palisades or wherever they're still, Brentwood or wherever they're still going, and we're going to have them put them out.
00:39:42.000I strongly believe that they should do all they can to move all of the agencies out of D.C. Yeah, but it's an opportunity for investment in new areas in the country, too, like Alaska.
00:39:57.000Trump wants to buy Greenland to put the deep state there.
00:40:00.000I can't fire you, but I can put you all in Nook.
00:40:02.000What they don't realize is that the crystal fields are in the subterranean layer in Greenland, and so we'll need lots of crystals and lots of storage space for certain purposes.
00:41:38.000And I kid you not, as we were driving around with Daniel Turner, this was a couple years ago now, and...
00:41:43.000You know the whole thing about the caribou, and it turns out that the caribou actually like the pipeline because it's warm, and so it gives them the ability to breed more, so their numbers have actually gone up since the pipeline was built.
00:44:41.000Your donation will go directly towards supporting firefighters in the communities they serve, including direct financial support to impacted residents.
00:44:48.000Your contribution will benefit California Fire Foundation.
00:44:53.000It's going to go to the firefighters, right?
00:44:54.000However, underneath it says contribution rules.
00:44:58.000Charitable donations made through this form are received and processed by ActBlue Charities, Inc., a 501c3 tax-exempt organization formed to democratize charitable giving and are subject to ActBlue's terms of service.
00:45:08.000The merchant of record in this transaction is ActBlue Charities, Inc.
00:45:11.000We subsequently give your contribution to the organization or cause that you have selected on the contribution form within 30 days.
00:45:18.000Okay, well, so what's the issue here, Jack?
00:45:21.000I mean, it's not, I thought I was going to the firefighter's website, but why is that a problem?
00:45:26.000So the issue with it is that, again, you're putting money in the pocket of a directly politically associated organization, ActBlue, which we know works to exist.
00:45:40.000To elect or push for progressive values, that has nothing to do with directly impacting firefighters.
00:45:48.000No, it directly impacted this definitely.
00:45:51.000They're the people who created the fires in the first place and potentially stand to benefit in some cases, like the plot of Chinatown tells us.
00:46:05.000The ActBlue website states that donations made via the platform include a 3.95 percent processing fee, which is passed on to the groups using our platform.
00:46:13.000The New York Post reported that ActBlue waived the fees for fire donations, though the fundraising behemoth did not immediately respond to Fox's digital request to comment.
00:48:04.000I don't know if that's how you say it, but Chesa Boudin, who was the San Francisco DA, who was basically the Soros-back DA, was the stepson of these two people, who, by the way, the reason he was their stepson was because their parents were in jail for all of the bombing.
00:48:46.000They did blow up a lot of people themselves.
00:48:48.000But they were planning to align the white elite overeducated degenerates with the Black Liberation Front.
00:48:55.000Which is what they ended up doing with Susan Rosenberg and BLM in 2020. And by the way, that headline of the BLM founder's house is burning down was fake.
00:49:20.000So look, I used to work for a bunch of these non-profits and I was flabbergasted.
00:49:25.000When me and my friends found out there's a network of progressive non-profits where you've got to have three board members for a non-profit.
00:49:33.000It's like secretary, treasurer, and president or something.
00:49:37.000And what they would do is they would have these unpaid board positions and then they would have executive staff positions and they would each get paid like 60 grand a year.
00:49:45.000Then, between these people, they would be part of another non-profit where the executive staffers are board members and the board members are executive staff.
00:49:53.000So they're all getting paid salaries, like three or four salaries from each different non-profit, where they're differently on the boards of each.
00:49:59.000And we were like, wow, that's really crazy.
00:50:45.000And he was like, yes, but we're educating the public while we do it of these problems in the environment, and it's the only way to bring about change is to affect the public in that way.
00:50:52.000And I was like, it sounds like you're full of it.
00:51:34.000I don't know if they have an administrative fee or not, but he's just putting all of his money where his mouth is, and he's just done that by himself, by the way, with no organization other than just posting it on Twitter.
00:51:53.000We're working with him on the Castproof franchises, and he's been leading the charge down in California to giving people a place to come together if they've lost their homes, providing really this great story where he said Amazon truck driver came and brought them stuff and then helped out.
00:52:16.000And I want to stress, I don't think these guys are doing anything legally wrong.
00:52:22.000This is some of the most brilliant organizing I've ever seen.
00:52:23.000So someone pointed out that Pod Save America, that Vote Save America, a nonprofit, their biggest expenditure was media buys from Pod Save America.
00:52:37.000So you basically, I'll just give you a simple version of the story.
00:52:40.000This guy John Favreau says you're a fraud.
00:52:42.000VSA Action isn't even a PAC. It's a non-profit.
00:52:44.000All you have to do is click the link to see where the money goes.
00:52:47.000And this is where things are being confused.
00:52:50.000Vote Save America, a PAC, and Vote Save America Action are two different groups.
00:52:55.000Pod Save America was fundraising for Vote Save America Action.
00:53:52.000So here's their website, Vote Save America.
00:53:55.000I want to donate to support the Anxiety Relief Program.
00:53:58.000It says, when you click it, your contribution will benefit Vote Save America.
00:54:02.000They say that they started the Anxiety Relief Program to fund grassroots organizations, campaigns, and voter protection efforts that are too often overlooked.
00:54:09.000In 2024, because of donors' generosity, they raised $3.7 million.
00:54:14.000That funding supported over 67 partner organizations, 14 states, 36 down-bought candidates, 45 House campaigns, 7 U.S. Senate campaigns.
00:54:23.000Would you like to see the number one expenditure for Vote Save America?
00:54:35.000From the looks of things, and I could be missing context, and I think that's fair, it appears to me that Pod Save America promotes a nonprofit that they run, and then the nonprofit pays the podcast to promote them.
00:55:06.000Their second largest expenditure is Vote Save America, which presumably is themselves, I don't know, at $387,000, followed by Blue State Digital, $260,000, ActBlue, $152,000, packed for America's future.
00:55:18.000I do think it's fair to say that I think if we look at their total I don't know if we can take their total revenue.
00:56:14.000And this is back when Mitch McConnell and those guys were blocking the funding and President Trump was trying to use military funding to clear a national emergency because we had a giant illegal alien problem.
00:56:23.000They said, all right, we'll get private land.
00:57:04.000And this guy said, I feel like I was defrauded because of the percentages that were.
00:57:08.000We're not going to the wall that we're going to other places, which, by the way, they were lower than average for charitable organizations.
00:57:16.000This is a huge problem, by the way, with the Red Cross.
00:57:19.000The Red Cross gets criticized like this.
00:57:21.000For a ton, because why would they spend so much of their money on, like you were saying, fundraising, fundraising activities.
00:57:27.000But Steve Bannon is going to go to jail for that because we have lawfare in this country.
00:57:30.000So, yes, agreed that liberals do have a massive generational, and it is one generation ahead, and you've got great people out there like Charlie Kirk and others.
00:57:39.000By the way, shout out to the Turning Point Ball.
00:57:41.000I hear it's going to be pretty hot this Sunday night.
00:58:43.000Basically, the simple version is people donate to this political action committee for a variety of causes.
00:58:49.000I don't know how they allocate their funds, but it does appear just based on open secrets that their largest expenditure by a lot, single, is their own media company.
00:58:58.000So, look, I think Democrats love this.
00:59:19.000The thing is, there's going to be a lot of regular people who don't know this and don't know they're inadvertently funding media shows or ActBlue.
00:59:27.000Well, I mean, again, there's an entire...
00:59:30.000One of the most brilliant things that George Soros ever did was just simply create the make-work ecosystem of the left to say that you can be a liberal progressive activist and yet have a full-time job, make like $150,000 a year and go and do this work for progressive causes full-time.
01:00:01.000Then his best ROI move, of course, was the prosecutors.
01:00:04.000But this idea that you can just have a generation of millennials that exist and have their entire lives and their families, to the extent that they have families or their designer children that they purchased from surrogates, gone and bought for by this donor money, it's genius.
01:00:22.000And when you go to people on the right and you'll say, like, oh, we need to donate for this thing, and they say, what's the ROI on that?
01:00:27.000It's like, well, the ROI is that we win the culture and then thus win the country.
01:00:31.000And they sit there and go, like, I don't think that's going to make money.
01:00:35.000That's why you don't see good conservative movies.
01:00:37.000That's why, you know, by and large, that's why you don't see good conservative content outside of stuff like, I'm not even saying this is conservative content.
01:00:45.000We're just talking about the news here.
01:00:46.000Outside of a few others, because you don't see these massive donors just writing checks and putting it into the ecosystem like that.
01:00:59.000Directed energy weapons did not start the LA wildfires because this guy, Andre Biak, who works in an office, somehow knows that.
01:01:06.000Listen, I don't think the wildfires were started by lasers or anything like this, but the idea that some dude sitting in his office debunked the claim is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
01:01:15.000Like, bro, maybe if the fire chief comes out and tells us definitively what started the fires, I will agree with it's debunked.
01:01:21.000But what ends up happening with these fact checkers is they go, that sounds crazy, so I'm going to call it fake.
01:01:26.000And then they just run fact check fake.
01:01:28.000That's how we ended up with people saying lab leak isn't real.
01:01:32.000Because the narrative machine said, no, COVID lab leak isn't real.
01:01:35.000And now they're saying COVID lab leak is what happened.
01:01:48.000The causes of the LA fires has not been announced as of January 10th.
01:01:52.000There's no credible evidence the fires were caused by directed energy weapons, which have repeatedly and falsely been linked to high-profile wildfires for years.
01:02:00.000Look, if I'm going to be honest as a newsman, I would just say unverified.
01:03:14.000So this is amazing because it's like she's saying, Can you ask me what specific quotes from Colsey Gabbard you would like me to respond to?
01:03:34.000So without any basis in direct fact, there's just these comments about, and it gets into, I mean, this brutal stuff, you know, chemical weapons attacks and Assad and Russia and the evasion of 2022. And it's like all this, you know, all this pretty, obviously very heavy, very serious stuff.
01:03:50.000And she's going to be going in as the director of national intelligence.
01:04:22.000If someone asked me, if I'm hanging out at dinner with a family and someone said, hey, I saw a post online that said that direct energy weapons or lasers may have started the fires, I'd say, well, I haven't seen any evidence that's convincing me that that's true.
01:05:07.000And it's like, do you not even have a little bit of humility to say that, you know, what if?
01:05:12.000What if just maybe, just this once, that there was some, I don't know, maybe not even some, like, giant Dr. Evil kind of, like, you know, flying satellite-directed energy weapon, but what if it was some kid who was building a project in his house and it went awry?
01:05:29.000How do you know that that didn't happen?
01:05:31.000I wonder if USA Today reported on the lasers that Ukraine's using, because they're using lasers to shoot down things.
01:05:55.000Also, this is taking away from Steve Baker just put out a pretty crazy article at The Blaze about directed energy weapons being used against people in the protest during 2020. Really?
01:06:17.000I mean, I will say this about Havana Syndrome, and I know as wild as it sounds, like Eric Prince talked to me offline, and he's like, I mean, he's a pretty credible guy.
01:06:28.000He's like, I know people that, like, yeah, there's probably some people who, you know, maybe they'll just be getting a little bit of mass hysteria, but there's other people who have just been in that world.
01:06:38.000And have had stuff happen, and it's associated with this, and something is clearly happening to them.
01:06:47.000And then I had other people who reached out who were also in that world and said, because I had had some tweet about it, and they were like, no, no, no, no, there is actually something out there.
01:07:43.000But the issue that we're getting at is the mentality of the we-know-all science worshippers, you know, like these types who say, we have the ability to have all knowledge at our fingertips, and we know for a fact that this is absolutely not true.
01:08:00.000And by the way, to be fair, I'll even be fair, because he's talking about an image, right?
01:08:05.000So yeah, okay, the image is not true in this case.
01:08:08.000But we know the mentality that we're getting at, because we've all...
01:08:10.000We've dealt with it, and we've all dealt with those people.
01:08:13.000This is something for you for Sunday or something.
01:08:16.000You got that crazy look in your eye again.
01:08:18.000Anatoly Bogorski, 1978, was checking on a malfunctioning piece of equipment when the safety mechanisms failed.
01:08:25.000He was leaning over the machine when the beam hit him, passing through the back of his head, the occipital and temporal lobes of his brain, the left middle ear, and out through the left hand side of his nose.
01:11:39.000But I also am deeply terrified of what Neuralink will do.
01:11:42.000The far-reaching future consequences of it are terrifying, but the short-term benefits are beautiful for paraplegics and people with seizures and who are blind.
01:11:58.000Did a press conference and he said, we have successfully achieved read-write capabilities with Norlink and it can be implanted right now into anyone for $50.
01:13:05.000They're buying those sex robots that were at that new CES. You don't need them!
01:13:07.000You plug your brain in, and they're all going to be in this world where everyone's a 20-year-old busty woman, and they're a samurai fighting dragons.
01:13:15.000They're going to plug their brains into Wally World.
01:13:18.000Wait, they're the busty woman fighting the dragon?
01:13:58.000I think that what was happening was TikTok was largely banning conservatives.
01:14:02.000We have no control over it, so conservatives wanted to get rid of it.
01:14:05.000So TikTok switched and started allowing conservatives, and then all of a sudden Trump's like, we did really well, so we're going to keep it now.
01:14:11.000And I'm like, yeah, and the moment you keep it, they're going to turn on you to get you impeached and removed from power.
01:14:17.000I don't like the deep state controlling social media.
01:14:21.000But at least there's some recourse in investigations and foreign requests.
01:15:27.000I think the average person isn't aware of how much information you can glean with an app that has access to the entirety of a cell phone that's in someone's home like that.
01:15:39.000But I guess devil's advocate on that is, couldn't you say the same thing about U.S. apps and the U.S. national security agencies?
01:16:29.000And look, if I could go ahead and wave a magic wand and make sure that the government doesn't use any apps to track people and stuff like that, I'd do it in a second.
01:16:44.000I mean, even with, like, even if they sell it to some American, it's like, well, what happens if that American just so happens to be, you know, a guy who's here based on, you know, birthright citizenship and his parents are Chinese.
01:17:12.000I'm not saying that it shouldn't be done.
01:17:14.000I guess I'm just saying that if we think that, oh, they've divested and the problem's gone away and you can just go and use your phone to your heart's content again.
01:17:57.000The question at hand is, do should the American government allow a foreign country to operate what is likely a spy tool in America in America without any kind of well, should they allow it to be operated?
01:18:13.000Have you heard the conspiracy theory on this?
01:18:15.000So the conspiracy theory on this was that who's had the most dominant TikTok trends over the last six months?
01:18:24.000Like, politically speaking, it's all been Donald Trump related, right?
01:18:28.000So the YMCA Trump dance, or obviously the Trump hat, or the eating the cats, eating the dogs became the number one song.
01:18:37.000So the conspiracy theory is that TikTok realized that through their algorithms that Trump was going to win, so they switched themselves to look like they were pro-Trump so that they would be able to get the influence to say, no, no, don't ban us now.
01:18:56.000Well, I mean, it doesn't even matter if that's the goal to crush Trump.
01:19:00.000The fact of the matter is they want to continue.
01:19:02.000If you take the idea that TikTok is an espionage tool, all they want is to keep operating in the U.S. That's the goal.
01:19:10.000So if they have Donald Trump that has a positive opinion of them, then maybe they have a better chance of continuing to operate TikTok in the United States.
01:19:19.000It doesn't matter if they like Trump or not.
01:19:26.000It's a matter of who's going to allow them to continue to operate so they can continue to have this tool in the U.S. You're saying total ban?
01:20:03.000Yeah, but the point that I'm making...
01:20:05.000First of all, it doesn't have the psychological effect if they just have hardware, right?
01:20:08.000So everybody knows, or everybody is generally of the opinion that most of the hardware that comes from China has some kind of backdoor that the CCP could access if they wanted to.
01:20:28.000Now you're getting to what I was talking about, is that the...
01:20:31.000It's basically, and I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying.
01:20:34.000What I'm saying is that this is a much more complex problem than just like, oh, we signed it over to Elon Musk and we're good to go.
01:20:40.000No, the point that I'm making is TikTok can operate as a psychological tool.
01:20:47.000Your computer hardware that they can get into, it's not the same thing.
01:20:52.000They're not going to be adjusting the algorithm to mess with people's head when they can just track your keystrokes.
01:20:58.000You know that's what they said about the Romanian election, right?
01:21:00.000So that's why, so Romania had their presidential election a couple of months ago, and this just out of, I guess out of right field, candidate Juan, who was super anti-NATO, anti-EU, and they came in and said, oh, Russia manipulated TikTok so much that he was able to, that it swung the election, and they did so through an influence operation, like you're saying.
01:21:29.000So the Supreme Court of Romania came in and annulled the election and took away all...
01:21:36.000Actual people voted in Romania for this guy.
01:21:39.000And they came in and they went for it.
01:21:43.000I mean, this is kind of like an almost, you know, more of a bigger...
01:21:48.000A larger social question is, well, okay, wait a minute.
01:21:51.000So just because they had this influence, people still voted.
01:21:54.000And that the Supreme Court annulled the election based on TikTok.
01:21:59.000DARPA had a program, I think, in 2011 about how they could influence people through social media influencers because they could see people like they were drones.
01:22:09.000So all these apps are working against you.
01:22:40.000I don't know if you guys know this, but we ran an ad on Sam Seder's channel making fun of him so that people who watched Majority Report would see us.
01:22:47.000It was like, what was it, me, Seamus, and you, Phil?
01:22:50.000And we were like, so this is what we did.
01:25:06.000Yeah, Kevin Costner and Yellowstoning, which, by the way, totally vindicated on with the final episode where they tore down Yellowstone Ranch.
01:25:20.000They're like, I'm going to kick it down anyway, elder.
01:25:23.000So I was talking about this thing called the Hicklib phenomenon, where it was like someone who has sort of the aesthetics, if you will, of a sort of Midwestern conservative type guy, but then has these like very liberal, extreme social justice reactions.
01:25:40.000And so I was digging into this in 2023, and I had this guy, it was called Bo or Bio or Bo of the Fifth Column, he, him.
01:25:51.000And so he does this, like, gun channel, and, you know, kind of one of the, I guess I call him, gun tubers, you know, and it was like, okay, you know, he's got the beard, he's got the hat, like, he kind of looks like, you know, he sort of just looks like the kind of guy who would watch one of these channels, and that would be it.
01:26:08.000And that every once in a while, he would throw something in there about, like, Trans acceptance or like, you know, just name your, you know, SJW type topic and it would go throw in.
01:26:19.000But then here's where it got, you know, took a darker turn because the Los Angeles Times actually reported on this and I saved the article.
01:26:29.000After the January 6th Capitol insurrection, tech companies began experimenting with and came under increasing pressure from the U.S. government to prevent the spread of extremism on their platforms.
01:26:45.000So an Internet figure named Bo of the Fifth Column became one of the beneficiaries of this because, listen to this, the idea was bait and switch.
01:26:55.000Give people searching online for terms like join the Oath Keepers or quote bomb instructions some content that seemed to fit their request but instead offered an alternative.
01:27:05.000The method, developed by what's called Moonshot CVE, is called the redirect.
01:27:11.000Through partnerships with Google as well as the Anti-Defamation League, the ADL, the British firm's goal was to dissuade users from pursuing conspiracies and violent rhetoric by luring them with Advertisements to other sites.
01:27:26.000And so I'm like, okay, the ADL was involved in this, as well as something called Moonshot CVE. I'm like, what's a British firm?
01:27:31.000So I go, I'm like, let me go look up this Moonshot CVE and figure out what that is.
01:27:36.000And so they're astroturfing this Hiclib identity.
01:27:39.000And what's interesting about the British government is that they actually have pretty good records on who they give their funding to.
01:27:48.000And these different, they're non-profits basically because they all have to be registered.
01:28:15.000In the LA Times, they refer to it as a British firm, but it was a British firm funded by the U.S. State Department to go through into Google and say, oh, we're fighting hate by propping up this guy, which directly sends you to his...
01:28:36.000And by the way, there's actually a bunch of other stuff because apparently the guy was a convicted felon and had been involved in human trafficking and a bunch of other stuff, which is really messed up, clearly.
01:28:47.000And they didn't realize that either, so that was one of the reasons that the LA Times was reporting on it.
01:28:51.000But what they uncovered was this massive web of your money that was being spread around, just like what you're talking about, Tim, and just like what you're talking about, that...
01:29:01.000Props up certain people on YouTube or other functions, and Google says, hey, we're just fighting hate.
01:29:08.000We're fighting extremism, and yet you're propping up certain content.
01:29:13.000I think it's only going to get worse moving forward.
01:29:33.000And they'll send you to one of these things.
01:29:36.000And then the guy just every once in a while mentions something liberal, mentions something social justice, mentions something, you know, oh, and you've got to believe in evolution.
01:29:46.000And I think they're going to try really hard to subvert the subverters.
01:30:23.000They're always like, I'm a former liberal, but a classic liberal.
01:30:26.000And they come over and they say, I'm against trans, but that's about it.
01:30:30.000And I'm with them on every single other thing.
01:30:34.000And then they immediately start gatekeeping the right and gatekeeping dissidents and gatekeeping populists and say, you can't believe that.
01:31:24.000I was doing the same thing at first, but then it's just the waters were too muddied because people were like, wait, what are you talking about?
01:31:47.000And then they say, like, we had on the members only show we got into this, because I was like, someone asked James Lindsay, what is an example of the woke right?
01:32:04.000He's like a post-liberal, I don't know, I don't know his exact political decisions, but it's like America first, immigration critical.
01:32:11.000What does it have to do with the people who hate Jews?
01:32:15.000When he starts lumping in this, like, the people who believe the Jews control everything with people who like Christianity and believe in nationalism and Tucker Carlson, I'm like, you're basically just saying anybody who's on the right is woke right?
01:32:31.000That sounds like you're saying alt-right.
01:32:33.000If you're not adhering to their standard, you're woke-right.
01:32:40.000In direct fashion is what they're doing is creating a category, creating a label, saying, we are separate from these guys.
01:32:47.000Therefore, you and a lot of these guys, I remember like they were one of the big pieces of this you saw was also when Tucker went to interview Putin.
01:32:54.000And then he also interviewed Lavrov, which, by the way, at great personal risk to himself.
01:32:59.000There were a number of security incidents that took place when he did this.
01:33:04.000And, you know, Ukraine's got assassination teams all over Russia, by the way.
01:34:34.000But if you're going to sit there and start gatekeeping saying you can't have that idea or you can't write that book or how dare you use that title or how dare you look at that historical event and ask questions about it, it's ridiculous.
01:34:50.000in the end becoming the thing they hated we are 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 timcast.com to support our work directly and you will get access to our discord server where you can hang out with tons of people and call into the show so if you ever wanted to talk to jack posobik you got to be a member at timcast.com because he is he is here and he's excited i'm not really excited I'm so excited right now.
01:41:21.000I would say that a corporeal body dying and coming back to life happens and over three days is astronomically impossible that no one would expect to ever happen.
01:41:33.000But that's why I would still describe that as a miracle.
01:41:36.000I don't think that defies the laws of logic in the universe is what I mean to say.
01:43:05.000Unless someone intentionally did that and tricked us, the presumption of the story as reported being true, that a brick wall, double-layered brick with a George Floyd mirroring a crown, exploded outwards.
01:43:19.000I mean, it's possible those things happened.
01:43:35.000Just to clarify, Derek Chauvin was abiding by the training given to him by the MPD. He arrived after Floyd was already taken out of the vehicle.
01:43:46.000He was unaware of the circumstances and was just doing as the department instructed.
01:43:50.000Now, I don't believe just following orders is an excuse, but in this instance, we're not talking about a cop mercilessly beating a child.
01:43:56.000We're talking about a cop who shows up and sees a very large man resisting arrest and saying...
01:44:13.000And by the way, so Katie Blackwell, who at the time was Inspector Katie Blackwell when she testified as the training unit officer, and the great Liz Collin over at Alpha News put this out.
01:44:26.000She testified that she didn't recognize the restraint that Derek Chauvin used.
01:44:39.000And it was a political sacrifice that was made to the gods of...
01:44:47.000The SJWs, the gods of communism, of this man who was taken, and to your point, he was following the training that was given by the officer who testified against him, who now has dozens of officers coming out saying that she lied under oath to put him in jail.
01:45:04.000Before we went live, you were talking about the Ten Commandments.
01:45:13.000Gandalf the Bass says, Tim, with respect, but if you believe in the Big Bang and then Christ rising from the dead is child's play.
01:45:18.000I completely agree with that, and that's kind of my point.
01:45:21.000That there are things that seemingly defy all astronomical odds, and it is more believable to me, the resurrection of the Christ, than a lot that people claim, I guess.
01:46:39.000The issue with creationism is that many of these liberal, secular individuals and atheists can understand the concept of symbolism, the idea that the universe was created with a backstory, but then they don't understand what Christians are saying with creation.
01:46:56.000It's like— Right, so you'll believe in simulation theory, and you're like, oh, that's so cool.
01:47:01.000Yeah, the odds are totally in favor of that.
01:47:03.000And then I'll come along and say, yeah, you know who else said that?
01:47:12.000It's the idea that if you see a watch, the existence of the watch therefore pretends that there would be a watchmaker because it is so intricately designed.
01:47:22.000I would argue it to atheists who don't believe in creation.
01:47:27.000When you play Grand Theft Auto and you have a little guy running through the city, jumping on a motorcycle and driving around, you know nobody built those skyscrapers.
01:47:46.000If you believe simulation theory is possible, if you believe, as Elon Musk and many of these people do, that given the fact that we create simulations...
01:47:55.000The odds are an advanced civilization would create a simulation like ours.
01:47:59.000Therefore, it is more likely we're in a simulation.
01:48:01.000You're literally just saying you believe in creation.
01:48:04.000You're just removing God from the picture and putting some guy there.
01:48:07.000Have you heard the—by the way, though, I thought it was interesting because Rogan and Gibson got into this whole idea of, you know, the different hominins that had existed in the past, and we've got, you know, certain bones here, certain bones there, and a lot of evolutionists want to try to form this linear picture and say, well, this was the first one because this is the oldest one we found, so this one came first, and this one led to this one, led to this one, led to this one.
01:48:34.000But have you heard the Middle-Earth theory?
01:48:39.000So the Middle Earth theory, this is sort of a new way to look at all of these different things and all of these disparate pockets of different hominins like the Denisovans that were found in Siberia.
01:48:49.000People know the Neanderthals in Europe, but then even various archaic species and their DNA, which have been found in Africa, that they haven't even found the bones of yet.
01:49:00.000So the idea is that what if instead of a...
01:49:04.000Linear pattern the way that evolutionists are trying to say, what if all of these various groups of hominins existed all at the same time, and then Cro-Magnons also existed?
01:49:14.000And what ended up happening was instead of this linear progression, it was just this sort of Lord of the Rings, Middle Earth kind of world where all of these were existing in concert with one another.
01:49:25.000And then what instead happened was this various hybridization and interbreeding of the species.
01:50:09.000So parts of Egypt that are now underwater.
01:50:12.000And so some people believe that there was an island in the Atlantic where Atlantis may have been.
01:50:16.000So this Rogan and Gibson mentioned this in the first couple minutes where he says, when you go to the ancient Mayans and you ask them, how did you learn how to do all these things?
01:50:26.000They don't tell you, like, oh, we had some great teacher and these inventors, they figured it out.
01:50:30.000They say, no, they have these oral traditions, by the way, oral traditions, take that word, brickers.
01:50:35.000Oral traditions that, no, there were these tall men from over the sea with red beards who taught us how to build these structures and taught us how to farm and conduct agriculture.
01:50:48.000And then one day they went away, and we never saw them again until the arrival of Cortez.
01:50:54.000Obviously, that was more further north.
01:50:56.000But you get my point, that they're saying that there was a race of people who could travel on the sea that taught us these things.
01:51:02.000All right, we've got to read this one from Mikey Maui.
01:51:05.000He says, Tim, my sis-in-law, mother of five with a newborn, suffered a stroke and aneurysm.
01:51:09.000One month medical coma and brain damage.
01:52:27.000The Truth A says, my friends in Cal Fire and Friends that work for Nevada Division of Forestry told me that aid from other states was stopped by fewer news scum and carb because the equipment was not carb compliant.
01:53:05.000Well, I guess there were a lot of constructors.
01:53:07.000There were construction out there where they really took fire prevention into account when they built it, including some of the walls or even vegetation that was around, or different types of bamboo that wouldn't burn.
01:53:19.000And a lot of those houses did pretty well, it seems like.
01:53:37.000It's just you have these luxury beliefs like, oh, diversity is so wonderful and equity and inclusion and everyone's going to be equal and kumbaya and we can all be the same.
01:53:47.000At some point, the rubber has to meet the road, and the airplane has to stay in the sky, and the water has to be in the fire hydrant, the fire's coming, and someone needs to stop that.
01:53:57.000And if you don't have that person, guess what?
01:54:00.000You know, those beliefs will not save you.
01:54:02.000You see that meme where he's like, call me old-fashioned, but back in my day, we put water in the fire hydrants.
01:55:09.000Devlin Foster says, I don't know which congressman you have most access to, but can you please tell them to remove the gun-free zones at our military bases?
01:55:16.000Our 2A rights do not end because of where someone works.
01:56:41.000People who got sent to war for a lie, the people who had their lives on the line again for a lie, people who are in combat, people who are shot at, people who are shelled over all of this nonsense.
01:58:33.000The interpretation is that people have a right to secure and grow their own food.
01:58:39.000But chickens are also awesome, so, you know.
01:58:41.000But that is, I'm telling you, man, like, here's a question.
01:58:48.000Are there instances, you know, Bill Maher had this bit where he said, you know, he once, someone once prayed for rain and then he reached outside his cup and it rained.
01:58:56.000And he says, it's a miracle, God exists.
01:58:58.000And Bill Maher says, I would respond with, sometimes it rains.
01:59:01.000And it's like, in that story, I'm kind of like, yeah, I don't know.
01:59:05.000But there's something different about the mural of George Floyd exploding.
01:59:08.000You know, like, that just defies logic.
01:59:11.000I'm more inclined to believe that someone secretly showed up and blew it up than the story they've put out.
01:59:17.000Jordan never caught the guy who did the Georgia Guidestones.
01:59:20.000But there's a video of it, isn't there?
01:59:21.000There's a video of, like, the car sort of driving.
02:00:03.000And then if purpose exists and is a component of this universe, like, I look at the scaling of how, you know, math and science and everything, we can see the scaling of organization and purpose, consciousness, and these things exist, which means they exist in the greater essence, which means there's greater purpose, there's greater existence, and that's likely and logical.
02:00:23.000You know what a good one for that is also is DNA. Why does DNA have a code?
02:00:29.000Why is there a computer code inside of living things?
02:00:34.000Where have you ever seen a random code just generate in the universe by itself?
02:01:38.000You can go to YouTube and check out, well, YouTube and Spotify and check out four singles, Forever Cold, Let You Go, No Tomorrow, and Divine.
