Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - LA Wildfire MOST EXPENSIVE In History, $150B In Damages, ARSONISTS, Looters Arrested | Timcast IRL

00:00:19.000 The L.A. wildfires are now expected to be the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, with over $150 billion in damages estimated.

00:00:29.000 Police have now allegedly arrested, or I should say they've arrested alleged arsonists, two of them.

00:00:35.000 However, the news stories say that these guys were caught in the act.

00:00:39.000 So it does look like some of these fires were arson.

00:00:41.000 As for the big ones, we don't know for sure.

00:00:43.000 It 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.

00:00:51.000 So as of right now, you've got the, I think it's the Hearst, Eaton, and Palisades fires.

00:00:56.000 They're still out of control.

00:00:57.000 The Santa Ana winds are picking up.

00:00:59.000 The death toll is, I believe, around 25, and 74 people have been arrested.

00:01:05.000 There are looters.

00:01:06.000 There are people dressing up like firefighters to go and loot these properties, flying drones over the properties.

00:01:12.000 It's a massively dark day, my friends.

00:01:14.000 And then on top of it all, you got this big scandal.

00:01:16.000 Talked about this at 4 p.m.

00:01:18.000 over on YouTube.com slash TimCast, the ActBlue scandal, where Democrats are routing charitable donations for wildfire relief.

00:01:26.000 I threw a Democrat pack where they take 4% off the top.

00:01:32.000 Massive, massive scandal.

00:01:33.000 I mean, this is just awful stuff.

00:01:35.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:36.000 And then there's some other news.

00:01:37.000 TikTok might be sold to Elon Musk.

00:01:39.000 I don't know how true that is, but that's what the reporting says.

00:01:42.000 Maybe Elon buys TikTok and saves the platform.

00:01:45.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy Cast Brew Coffee.

00:01:49.000 If you look for it, we don't have it featured on the front page just yet.

00:01:52.000 But I actually didn't know.

00:01:54.000 Focus with Mr. Bocas.

00:01:56.000 Espresso roast is now available.

00:01:57.000 And look how beautiful that bag is for Mr. Bocas.

00:02:00.000 We retired the Mr. Bocas pumpkin spice experience.

00:02:04.000 It's still available if you're in the Casper Coffee Club, but Focus with Mr. Bocas.

00:02:08.000 Dark roast espresso.

00:02:09.000 It's available.

00:02:10.000 And let's do this.

00:02:11.000 We talked about Ian's graphene dream the other day.

00:02:15.000 How much has he sold? 0.98

00:02:15.000 Holy crap. 0.98

00:02:16.000 In a week and a half, Ian has sold 1,100 bags of his graphene dream. 0.96

00:02:23.000 I don't know why you guys love that Ian coffee so much, but you're buying it like crazy, so I'll take it.

00:02:27.000 But don't forget to also go to boonieshq.com and pick up your 28th Amendment skateboard.

00:02:32.000 Look at that doodle of the chicken.

00:02:33.000 Tell me that is not the greatest chicken doodle ever made.

00:02:36.000 It's beautiful.

00:02:37.000 And 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.

00:02:45.000 And that's over at BooniesHQ.

00:03:15.000 What's going on, Tim?

00:03:16.000 Do 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.

00:03:31.000 You hear that, Libs?

00:03:32.000 You have less than seven days left.

00:03:35.000 We'll be in D.C., actually.

00:03:37.000 Well, it's still the Timcast IRL microphone.

00:03:39.000 It's wherever Tim is, because Tim is Tim.

00:03:42.000 By the way, we're going to be there!

00:03:43.000 Here's something I had to think about.

00:03:46.000 You were mentioning the 28th Amendment, right?

00:03:49.000 So, are you familiar with, and it's the right to bear and breed chickens, right?

00:03:53.000 Are you familiar with the Schecter Poultry case?

00:03:56.000 No.

00:03:57.000 So, FDR's, it's just so funny that this came up, that...

00:04:02.000 FDR's entire National Recovery Act and the National Recovery Agency, the original NRA, this was like the biggest, most expansive form of government.

00:04:10.000 It was basically this agency he put together during the New Deal to like take over every single business in the country.

00:04:17.000 And they banned chickens?

00:04:18.000 Well, they were basically, they put these regulations in that basically said that...

00:04:22.000 For 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.

00:04:31.000 And 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.

00:04:38.000 So basically what I'm saying is there is legitimate Supreme Court jurisprudence that already sets a precedent for the 28th Amendment.

00:04:49.000 Let's go!

00:04:50.000 All right, Jack, well, thanks for hanging out.

00:04:52.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.

00:04:53.000 It's going to be great.

00:04:53.000 It was good to have you.

00:04:54.000 Shane's hanging out.

00:04:54.000 Jack told me that the second Trump is inaugurated, there's going to be a Pizza Hut renaissance, and I'm really excited.

00:05:01.000 Look, 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...

00:05:17.000 Old Pizza Hut is getting turned into a new Pizza Hut.

00:05:23.000 2025 has begun.

00:05:25.000 You see, they bought it, Tim.

00:05:26.000 They thought that we said Project 2025 wasn't happening.

00:05:29.000 Oh, no!

00:05:30.000 They didn't realize that the real Project 2025 was actually underneath that original report. 0.72

00:05:36.000 That was all just silly stuff.

00:05:38.000 It'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.

00:05:49.000 What's that city in PA where they got one?

00:05:52.000 I think it's...

00:05:54.000 Ohio has a ton of them.

00:05:55.000 Is it Breezewood?

00:05:56.000 There's a ton of them in Ohio.

00:05:58.000 They call them, like, classic pizza huts.

00:06:00.000 Breezewood.

00:06:01.000 There's a classic pizza hut there.

00:06:03.000 And Allison and I were driving through it, and we were stopping for gas, and then we saw it, and we were like, we have to go inside.

00:06:10.000 And it was...

00:06:10.000 Is that when you went up for Bratler?

00:06:12.000 I think so.

00:06:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:14.000 Yep.

00:06:14.000 When we did the war room with the Cybertruck?

00:06:17.000 That's right.

00:06:17.000 That was amazing.

00:06:18.000 All right, anyway, Phil's hanging out, too.

00:06:19.000 Hello, everybody.

00:06:20.000 My name is Phil Avanti.

00:06:21.000 I'm the lead singer of the Heavy Metal Band, All That Remains.

00:06:22.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:06:24.000 You 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.

00:06:39.000 Yeah, because Yum! 1.00

00:06:40.000 Brands owned them all and was like, oh, we're going to put them all together.

00:06:43.000 This idea of...

00:06:44.000 Optimization.

00:06:45.000 And it was the corporatization and conglomerization of America that it did start in the 90s.

00:06:51.000 We have to be fair about this.

00:06:52.000 It started in the 90s and it continued on forward.

00:06:54.000 There's that line in Austin Powers.

00:06:57.000 Remember when Dr. Evil comes back and number two is like, don't you understand, Dr. Evil?

00:07:02.000 There is no world anymore.

00:07:03.000 It's all corporations now.

00:07:05.000 And he's like, what?

00:07:06.000 We want our fast food establishment segregated.

00:07:09.000 Bring back the pizza buffet.

00:07:12.000 Yes.

00:07:13.000 Bring back the Pizza Buffet.

00:07:15.000 But isn't it crazy that Pizza Hut gave up the Pizza Buffet and then other companies started Pizza Buffet and succeeded at it?

00:07:21.000 Why did they give that up?

00:07:23.000 I mean, a lot of this stuff comes down to just corporate culture.

00:07:27.000 And again, Pizza Hut was bought out by Yum Brands and then Yum Brands was bought again and again and resold and resold.

00:07:33.000 And so they just kind of got away from the idea of anyone who actually understood how the underlying business functioned.

00:07:40.000 And so what made Pizza Hut great...

00:07:42.000 And 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.

00:07:50.000 He said he would be like, Jack, this is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

00:07:53.000 This is perfect.

00:07:53.000 Because it's not about Pizza Hut, okay?

00:07:56.000 That's what everybody gets wrong.

00:07:57.000 It's about the feeling of community that you could have when you're at Pizza Hut.

00:08:02.000 And I do want to make sure we talk about news, but I'm going to say one more thing.

00:08:06.000 That video Sam Hyde put out about the unquantifiable, how you can't import immigrants to bringing that back, he's talking about Pizza Hut.

00:08:15.000 He'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.

00:08:27.000 Let's go to the news!

00:08:28.000 Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a couple stories for you.

00:08:31.000 We'll start off here.

00:08:32.000 From Fox News, LA wildfires, California firebug arrest caught on video as police warn of arsonists.

00:08:40.000 Take a look at this, for those that are watching.

00:08:42.000 Here's a guy being arrested on video.

00:08:45.000 They say he started a fire.

00:08:47.000 Then we have this from the Daily Mail.

00:08:49.000 Firefighters catch second arsonist in the act of starting new blazes in LA, days after cops arrest an illegal immigrant with a blowtorch.

00:08:57.000 So 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.

00:09:05.000 So if we jump over to the airnow.gov website, we can see you've got the Eaton, Hearst, and Palisades.

00:09:11.000 Now, the Eaton fire in Altadena and Palisades are the biggest, and they've got no control over this.

00:09:16.000 Wait, wait.

00:09:16.000 I have to say it.

00:09:18.000 I'm sorry.

00:09:20.000 Was the blowtorch guy going to say, it was self-defense.

00:09:23.000 I was going to fight fire with fire.

00:09:26.000 I don't know what he was doing.

00:09:29.000 I'll see myself out.

00:09:30.000 So here's the crazy thing.

00:09:32.000 They don't arrest this guy for arson.

00:09:34.000 And so, it's not, but come on.

00:09:37.000 The 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?

00:09:46.000 How do you track that guy down?

00:09:47.000 I mean, of course that guy wanted to start a fire.

00:09:50.000 I 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.

00:09:58.000 What's it like?

00:10:00.000 You 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?

00:10:14.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:15.000 And I didn't hear that one specifically.

00:10:17.000 I heard that...

00:10:18.000 I didn't hear the Malugan report, but I also heard that Sunset was an illegal immigrant. 0.98

00:10:23.000 Were they mentally ill? 0.99

00:10:26.000 I mean, if you're going to commit arson, you're mentally ill. 0.99

00:10:30.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:10:30.000 Fair enough. 0.99

00:10:30.000 And that's not to disparage the mentally ill. 0.99

00:10:32.000 That action requires you to be disturbed.

00:10:34.000 I had Jeremy Ryan Slate on Inverted World last night.

00:10:37.000 He's in L.A. right now.

00:10:39.000 He'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.

00:10:45.000 Yes, they're saying cartel gangs.

00:10:48.000 Are intentionally exacerbating the problems?

00:10:50.000 Of course.

00:10:51.000 Why wouldn't you?

00:10:52.000 And you can move in.

00:10:53.000 Yeah.

00:10:53.000 Dude, it's crazy.

00:10:55.000 Malibu is burning.

00:10:57.000 Yep.

00:10:57.000 It's spreading and they can't stop it.

00:10:59.000 This is not even...

00:11:00.000 What is it, like 10% contained or something?

00:11:02.000 It's the Palisades.

00:11:02.000 I heard 11% last night, but not enough.

00:11:05.000 Yeah.

00:11:05.000 Not enough.

00:11:06.000 Last I heard, it was somewhere around 10%.

00:11:07.000 Well, what's crazy about this whole thing, and I am going to make it political, is like...

00:11:15.000 The wildfires in this area are not new.

00:11:18.000 This has been going on since the area has existed.

00:11:22.000 When 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.

00:11:39.000 And the natives, by the way, would say, no, no, you can't just leave the forest.

00:11:44.000 You've got to maintain it.

00:11:46.000 You've got to chop some of this stuff down.

00:11:48.000 You've got to clear away this old brush.

00:11:49.000 And I remember when Trump went out there in 2018, he said, you've got to rake the forest, you know, because it's Trump.

00:11:54.000 And, you know, he always says things in the Trump way.

00:11:56.000 But that is what he's talking about.

00:11:58.000 He's talking about cleaning it up.

00:11:59.000 He's talking about managing your forest.

00:12:00.000 And this is something that was known for hundreds of years.

00:12:03.000 They mocked him for that.

00:12:04.000 And they mocked him.

00:12:05.000 They ridiculed him.

00:12:06.000 They attacked him.

00:12:06.000 And they're like, oh, Newsom.

00:12:07.000 Newsom's got to take care of it.

00:12:09.000 Newsom's going to be great.

00:12:10.000 And here we are again.

00:12:11.000 That's been the situation, though, for, you know, literally since 2017 when he took office.

00:12:16.000 It was 16 when he was running, right?

00:12:18.000 Like, the left just says, whatever Trump says, say the opposite and it'll be fine.

00:12:23.000 That's why Biden passed all those executive orders to undo all the things like remain in Mexico and all the things related to the border.

00:12:30.000 And that's literally why we had that massive surge.

00:12:33.000 Joe Biden specifically said, I want to see people surge the border, which blows my mind.

00:12:37.000 If you go back and look at the debates, he literally said, I want to see people surge the border.

00:12:42.000 Like, welcoming people in and then set in undid policies that would have prevented him.

00:12:48.000 And now we've got an absolute mess with illegal immigration that Donald Trump is back now to clean up.

00:12:54.000 It's controlled collapse.

00:12:56.000 Yeah, it's a collapse of complex systems.

00:12:58.000 And by the way, these are, by and large, right, California, one of the biggest COVID states, right, so one of the biggest COVID areas.

00:13:05.000 So just think about this, right?

00:13:07.000 These are the people who said, just trust the experts, just listen to the government, just follow the guidance, follow D.C., follow all.

00:13:16.000 This is the way you do things.

00:13:18.000 This is the way you get it right.

00:13:19.000 And now suddenly all those people are sitting there in their teeth.

00:13:21.000 And it's horrible, by the way.

00:13:22.000 It's absolutely horrible.

00:13:25.000 A lot of people get wrong about conservatives is like, no, we want to help. 1.00

00:13:30.000 But the problem is, is that your ideas about how to fix the situation are so stupid that it's like, you've got to just remove that person. 0.99

00:13:41.000 Like, okay, that's nice. 1.00

00:13:42.000 You sit over here and we'll explain to you how to make the fire go away.

00:13:46.000 Because here's the problem, right?

00:13:47.000 So with like...

00:13:49.000 Something like these systemic racism, you know, wokeism, critical race theory, all these different things, you know, the phantom misogyny that exists.

00:13:58.000 These are all intangibles, right?

00:13:59.000 These are things that exist maybe in your head, you can't see them, but they're all theoretical in a sense.

00:14:04.000 They're academic.

00:14:05.000 But when a fire is coming to your house...

00:14:07.000 They're also unfalsifiable.

00:14:08.000 Yeah, they're unfalsifiable.

00:14:09.000 But when a fire is coming to burn down your house, guess what?

00:14:12.000 Like, that is...

00:14:14.000 But don't you think it was worth it to save the smeltfish?

00:14:18.000 See, that's where I get into...

00:14:20.000 Alright, we did this and it went kind of viral on Human Events Daily where...

00:14:24.000 Have you guys ever seen that movie Chinatown?

00:14:26.000 The old Jack Nicholson movie with John Huston.

00:14:29.000 You know, plays No Cry.

00:14:30.000 Have you seen it, Tim?

00:14:31.000 No.

00:14:31.000 Oh, dude.

00:14:32.000 Classic.

00:14:32.000 Dude.

00:14:33.000 Because 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.

00:14:52.000 Yep.

00:14:52.000 Buy 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.

00:15:04.000 This is, by the way, William, was it William Mulholland or John Mulholland?

00:15:08.000 William Mulholland was, in real life, Mulholland Drive, that's where the name comes from.

00:15:12.000 He 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...

00:15:22.000 We're like bombing it and trying to stop it because it was going to ruin all their farms.

00:15:25.000 And the movie is about all of this.

00:15:28.000 And, you know, he's he's just this evil developer who knows that people are going to die, but he doesn't care.

00:15:33.000 And there's this great scene where he's like, well, you see, you see, Jake, you can.

00:15:38.000 Oh, no, you see, Mr. Gitz.

00:15:39.000 You see, Mr. Gitz.

00:15:40.000 You can bring the water to L.A. or you can bring L.A. to the water.

00:15:44.000 You're so rich, Mr. Gitz.

00:15:45.000 You're so rich.

00:15:46.000 What could you possibly want that you can't already buy?

00:15:50.000 The future, Mr. Gitz!

00:15:52.000 The future!

00:15:53.000 And 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.

00:16:02.000 So I just keep watching all this news and I'm like, this is the plot of Chinatown just over and over and over again.

00:16:10.000 Well, that's mismanagement for you.

00:16:12.000 And these people are going to keep voting for it because nothing's going to change their mind.

00:16:16.000 Newsom's already going on podcasts and saying Trump's lying about everything.

00:16:20.000 Don't blame me.

00:16:21.000 When he was asked about why the reservoir was drained, he goes, that's a local reservoir, not a state reservoir.

00:16:26.000 Like, he has no responsibility for anything.

00:16:29.000 Gone 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.

00:16:34.000 A house would burn down and the fire chief would say, we let you down on this day.

00:16:40.000 And rest assured, we will do better next time.

00:16:43.000 Now it's, hey, we didn't start the fire.

00:16:45.000 That guy who was in there, he got himself in the wrong place by being in that burning building.

00:16:49.000 Did you see the clip of, I don't think it was that one, but it was one of these other...

00:16:54.000 LA 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.

00:17:03.000 What?

00:17:04.000 She was like, it's our firefighters' expectation that water's going to be there when we get there.

00:17:09.000 And, you know, I don't know how that water gets into those hydrants.

00:17:13.000 And you're like...

00:17:15.000 Wait, that's not my job?

00:17:18.000 Well, you know, maybe, I don't know, maybe have...

00:17:21.000 Is this one of those things where they say women can't understand generalized knowledge? 1.00

00:17:25.000 Because 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.

00:17:34.000 I want to...

00:17:35.000 Like, I don't know, a reservoir.

00:17:38.000 I'm going to pull up this story.

00:17:39.000 Let me see if I can find...

00:17:41.000 A water tower.

00:17:42.000 Okay, it's also crazy that this lady's name has the word arson in it. 0.99

00:17:46.000 I want to...

00:17:48.000 Okay, guys, I want you to make clips of this.

00:17:52.000 I think this will help you out.

00:17:54.000 Many people...

00:17:55.000 Wow.

00:17:56.000 Let me pause.

00:17:57.000 A few years ago, it was maybe like six, seven years ago, I had a bunch of videos on youtube.com slash timcast.

00:18:05.000 Go subscribe.

00:18:06.000 We do a show every day at 4pm.

00:18:08.000 We just launched it back up.

00:18:09.000 My mom said...

00:18:10.000 Tim, why don't you talk about Republicans?

00:18:13.000 I said, okay.

00:18:15.000 What do you want me to say about Republicans?

00:18:16.000 She's like, well, they do bad things.

00:18:17.000 And I said, oh, okay.

00:18:19.000 What do you think they're doing that's bad?

00:18:21.000 She's like, well, I don't know, but all you're talking about is Democrats. 0.95

00:18:23.000 And I said, maybe it's because the Republicans are like a lukewarm nothing party and the Democrats are evil.

00:18:30.000 And she argued with me and I was like, you send me anything you see any day about Republicans doing something.

00:18:35.000 And if I agree, I will absolutely criticize the Republicans.

00:18:38.000 I'm not a fan of the Republican Party.

00:18:40.000 And I'm reminded of this story.

00:18:44.000 It reminds me of that moment.

00:18:45.000 So 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.

00:19:00.000 It's a story here from NBC News.

00:19:02.000 Take a look.

00:19:03.000 Former child star Rory Sykes dies in California wildfires as mom tried to save him.

00:19:10.000 This is a hard story to read.

00:19:12.000 Former 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.

00:19:21.000 See, the story is her arm was broken and she couldn't get the cinders off the building.

00:19:28.000 She could not carry him out of the building, and he was having trouble walking.

00:19:32.000 He didn't want to leave.

00:19:33.000 He couldn't.

00:19:34.000 He was struggling.

00:19:35.000 So she went to the fire department.

00:19:39.000 Ask them for help.

00:19:40.000 He said, Mom, leave me. 0.97

00:19:42.000 No mom could leave their kid. 0.97

00:19:44.000 Shelly Sykes told Australian Outlet 10 News she has a broken arm and could not lift or move her son.

00:19:49.000 Shelly Sykes said she drove to the local fire department for help, but they told her they did not have any water.

00:19:55.000 She said when the fire department brought her back, Rory's cottage was burnt to the ground.

00:19:59.000 You understand the implications about what happened to Rory.

00:20:01.000 He was trapped, the mother couldn't lift him, and he died in that fire.

00:20:07.000 And now I want you to watch this video.

00:20:09.000 From Larson, she's the, I believe, the head of diversity for the LA Fire Department.

00:20:15.000 I'm sorry, let me get the audio down.

00:20:17.000 You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call, that looks like you.

00:20:25.000 It gives that person a little bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.

00:20:30.000 Is she strong enough to do this?

00:20:31.000 Or you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire?

00:20:34.000 which my response is he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.

00:20:38.000 Rory Sykes did not get himself in the wrong place.

00:20:41.000 They released that. 0.99

00:20:42.000 Rory Sykes did not put himself in the wrong place, you psychopathic monster. 0.97

00:20:47.000 The requirement for the fire department is to be able to lift those who cannot lift themselves to save them from burning buildings. 0.96

00:20:56.000 It's no one's fault.

00:20:57.000 I don't care if you dropped a cigarette and your house started on fire.

00:21:00.000 I don't care if you put a teddy bear next to a bunch of candles and your house started on fire.

00:21:04.000 We will save you.

00:21:06.000 And in this instance...

00:21:07.000 A 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.

00:21:18.000 These are the people they hire. 0.99

00:21:19.000 They're disgusting monsters that would leave you to burn to death so long as they get a salary to push their crackpot religion. 1.00

00:21:27.000 That's why I despise these people. 1.00

00:21:29.000 I hope that's clear.

00:21:31.000 That 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.

00:21:44.000 Tell that to the disabled man with cerebral palsy.

00:21:46.000 It's his fault.

00:21:47.000 That's what they said. 0.75

00:21:48.000 Screw these people, dude.

00:21:49.000 Miranda 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. 0.95

00:22:00.000 We're talking about people who are supposed to be first responders, that type of thing.

00:22:04.000 And 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.

00:22:20.000 Even if they didn't pass the physical test, and again, this is FBI, but you could see these policies everywhere.

00:22:25.000 That's what we're talking about.

00:22:26.000 And 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.

00:22:35.000 Even if you couldn't pass the, obviously, intellectual, investigative tests, you were all pushed forward. 0.96

00:22:40.000 And 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... 0.98

00:23:00.000 It's literally getting people killed. 0.66

00:23:03.000 This is the culmination of the pandemic of incompetence because it's the DEI stuff.

00:23:09.000 It's the empty reservoirs.

00:23:11.000 It's all these bad policies coming to a head and killing people.

00:23:14.000 I don't know if it was last year or the year before.

00:23:16.000 Well, 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.

00:23:24.000 There was talk about...

00:23:27.000 A lot of talk about airplanes, like there were airports, there were near misses, and they were talking about these things.

00:23:33.000 This is going to lead to some kind of accident.

00:23:34.000 The train crash.

00:23:35.000 Yeah, there's a crisis of competence coming.

00:23:37.000 This is the manifestation of crisis of competence.

00:23:39.000 This is what happens when you have people in positions that they don't deserve to be in.

00:23:45.000 And when I say deserve, I don't mean deserve as in have the right...

00:23:49.000 Mm-hmm.

00:23:59.000 Mm-hmm.

00:24:00.000 Different people have different skills and different abilities, and those skills and abilities matter in the real world.

00:24:06.000 We live in the real world.

00:24:08.000 These people don't believe that there is a real world.

00:24:11.000 They believe that they can speak reality.

00:24:13.000 They're trying to rewrite the real world.

00:24:15.000 They believe they can speak reality into existence, and you cannot.

00:24:18.000 You also get an idea of it's like atheists trying to create heaven here in utopia here on Earth.

00:24:24.000 Yeah, they're doing the opposite of that.

00:24:26.000 Indeed.

00:24:26.000 When you said the crisis of competency was coming, Yeah, you are correct.

00:24:31.000 I remember with the airplanes, Charlie Kirk was smeared as a racist for saying he was concerned about DEI hiring.

00:24:37.000 I was on that show with him. 1.00

00:24:39.000 Absolutely stupid. 1.00

00:24:40.000 His point was not about the race of the individual, but the hiring practices of liberals. 1.00

00:24:44.000 Yes, obviously.

00:24:45.000 At 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?

00:24:55.000 Yet here we are.

00:24:57.000 Yahoo News, picking up from Salon.

00:24:59.000 Quote, DEI is deadly.

00:25:01.000 Fox News spin on California wildfires exposes MAGA's total incoherence because we are criticizing the fact.

00:25:08.000 So it's Jesse Waters' fault.

00:25:09.000 It is.

00:25:10.000 So 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.

00:25:24.000 Yeah, okay.

00:25:25.000 This is a problem of culture.

00:25:27.000 And 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.

00:25:35.000 Or sexual fetish now, which is a really weird thing, by the way, but it's happening.

00:25:38.000 What 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.

00:25:47.000 Because it's all predicated on this idea that everyone can be equal.

00:25:51.000 Stalin had a DEI program.

00:25:53.000 Yeah.

00:25:53.000 They had programs that were intended to put people into positions, not based on skill, but based on having the right ideas.

00:26:00.000 How did that work out?

00:26:01.000 So did Chairman Mao.

00:26:02.000 Clearly not.

00:26:02.000 Chairman Mao had the same thing.

00:26:04.000 And if you were a serf, if you were a petty landowner, you were killed or struggle sessioned away.

00:26:12.000 If you were a serf, if you were a peasant, you would be put in charge of a factory.

00:26:16.000 And it all ground into the dirt.

00:26:19.000 And so, of course, the real question, though, is...

00:26:23.000 Is it just incompetence at the base level?

00:26:26.000 Or 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?

00:26:38.000 If you are the...

00:26:40.000 Right target group.

00:26:42.000 This is the Luigi Maggioni situation, where this guy is an affluent white male, and therefore he needs to go down.

00:26:51.000 Because Luigi Maggioni had picked a different target, had picked someone who was potentially in one of these protected classes, guess what?

00:26:58.000 There'd be no fandom.

00:26:59.000 That'd be really weird, right? 0.77

00:27:00.000 Like the healthcare CEO was some black dude? 0.80

00:27:02.000 Yeah, see what I'm saying? 0.96

00:27:03.000 All of a sudden it all falls apart.

00:27:05.000 They'd call him a white supremacist.

00:27:08.000 They'd say he's... 0.97

00:27:09.000 It's lynching successful minorities. 1.00

00:27:11.000 It would be totally flipped, and they'd be all against him.

00:27:14.000 Meanwhile, because he picked a white, straight male, then suddenly he goes after this.

00:27:20.000 Which, you know, she kind of talks about that.

00:27:23.000 You couldn't carry my husband.

00:27:24.000 It's a guy.

00:27:25.000 You notice that?

00:27:26.000 Of course, yeah.

00:27:26.000 She picks a guy.

00:27:27.000 You couldn't carry my husband.

00:27:28.000 What, because the guy had smoke inhalation?

00:27:30.000 If your husband... 1.00

00:27:32.000 Well, he's just a dumb guy, and he deserves it. 1.00

00:27:35.000 He deserves to suffer and die. 1.00

00:27:38.000 Don't expect me to be able to carry him. 1.00

00:27:40.000 He made dumb decisions. 1.00

00:27:41.000 He got himself into a bad position, and so now he deserves to suffer and die. 1.00

00:27:46.000 So this is what we got at in the book on humans, where we said it is not based on equality. 0.97

00:27:53.000 It is not based on social justice.

00:27:54.000 That is all window dressing.

00:27:56.000 That is all just what they say.

00:27:57.000 It's about resentment.

00:27:58.000 It's about hatred.

00:27:59.000 It's about wanting.

00:28:02.000 The Greenies? 0.94

00:28:03.000 Are sitting there looking at this and say, yes, we want these human structures to burn. 0.97

00:28:08.000 We want humanity to burn.

00:28:10.000 We want society to fall. 0.99

00:28:11.000 All these rich one percenters, let them burn for what they've done to Mother Earth, for what they've done to Mother Gaia. 0.98

00:28:18.000 We want them to suffer. 0.98

00:28:19.000 They look at this and they cheer it.

00:28:21.000 They want more of it.

00:28:23.000 And you watch, by the way.

00:28:24.000 I'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.

00:28:32.000 Of forest fires.

00:28:33.000 I'm not saying these ones specifically were YouTube sensors or whatever, but it has been reported many, many, many times.

00:28:40.000 And it's because they take on, which, funny enough, we were, even before the fire started, I was...

00:28:47.000 I've been giving my kids the Batman marathon.

00:28:49.000 I 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.

00:28:56.000 And 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.

00:29:07.000 And it's like, okay, so...

00:29:09.000 He wants to kill people to save... 0.98

00:29:11.000 He wanted to... 1.00

00:29:13.000 He wanted to cull half the population so the other half would be fat and happy. 1.00

00:29:16.000 It's the same motivation.

00:29:20.000 Poison Ivy wants all animals dead because plants are better. 1.00

00:29:23.000 In the 90s, that was considered a hilarious character that we could all laugh at and make fun of and obviously evil.

00:29:32.000 Whereas now, that position is platformed.

00:29:37.000 There's money that's put behind it.

00:29:39.000 George Soros and Klaus Schwab and Greta Thunberg have like massive conferences all about this.

00:29:44.000 And we're treated, we're talked to as if they're like, this is important.

00:29:47.000 And we want something like this where it's clearly anti-human.

00:29:50.000 So don't tell me for a second that there aren't people cheering this on because there are.

00:29:54.000 Clearly.

00:29:54.000 There's absolutely people.

00:29:55.000 There are people that think that there are too many human beings on Earth.

00:30:00.000 That's what I'm talking about.

00:30:01.000 The actual problem that we're going to be facing is the fact that there's population collapse.

00:30:06.000 There aren't enough people to replace the people that exist now.

00:30:09.000 Well, that goes country by country because you look like Africa's having a parabolic population explosion right now. 0.99

00:30:14.000 Sure, sure.

00:30:15.000 But in Western countries.

00:30:16.000 Take a look at this story.

00:30:18.000 This is actually from last week, but still interesting.

00:30:20.000 LAPD hasn't linked LA Fires to MAGA, Cause of Blaze Unknown.

00:30:24.000 I kid you not.

00:30:26.000 Updated today.

00:30:27.000 Wait, what?

00:30:28.000 That's right, that's right.

00:30:29.000 The story was just updated.

00:30:30.000 Wait, how is it MAGA's fault?

00:30:32.000 So, check it out.

00:30:32.000 I'm more interested in that part.

00:30:33.000 They say several posts.

00:30:35.000 Claim the LA authorities linked the wildfires to three Trump supporters.

00:30:39.000 Quote, 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.

00:30:46.000 This might have been the opening salvo in Trump's war against any state he considers an enemy within.

00:30:52.000 The post was shared more than 200 times in four days.

00:30:55.000 False, they say.

00:30:56.000 There is no claim that MAGA started these fires.

00:30:59.000 They were saying, this is MAGA country.

00:31:00.000 I gotta say something.

00:31:02.000 This may be the first time that I've seen, like, The left getting fact-checked on something this big.

00:31:08.000 And by the way, Tim, scroll down a little bit again, because...

00:31:12.000 Don't bury the lead there.

00:31:14.000 That's a Threads post.

00:31:16.000 So they're actually fact-checking stuff, which I didn't even know there were 200 people still on Threads, apparently.

00:31:20.000 All 200 people on Threads.

00:31:22.000 Every single one of them shared it.

00:31:24.000 Let me just tell you guys how dangerous Threads is a dangerous source of misinformation.

00:31:30.000 Radicalization.

00:31:31.000 Mark Zuckerberg is personally spreading.

00:31:32.000 Just like how Parler apparently created January 6th.

00:31:36.000 That's right.

00:31:36.000 Is Threads still allowed on the App Store?

00:31:38.000 I think Threads should be banned and arrested.

00:31:42.000 Absolutely.

00:31:42.000 Mark Zuckerberg says that he's against, you know, he's against misinformation now and says that he's going to be turning over a new leaf.

00:31:49.000 You know, Zuck.

00:31:50.000 I totally believe him, too.

00:31:51.000 What if since he came out?

00:31:52.000 Absolutely believe him.

00:31:53.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:31:54.000 Like, this is a good point.

00:31:54.000 Like, Mark Zuckerberg says they're going to get rid of the misinformation.

00:31:57.000 I think everybody should just flood threads with based memes and be like, you can't do anything about it now.

00:32:02.000 Yeah, I still.

00:32:03.000 That being said, though, it's like.

00:32:05.000 So let me get this straight.

00:32:06.000 He donates.

00:32:07.000 Like, 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.

00:32:20.000 And then...

00:32:21.000 So he dresses like a Philly boy and, like, lets his bro grow out and puts a chain on.

00:32:26.000 He's a little Dickie impersonator.

00:32:27.000 And now it's all cool?

00:32:29.000 Like, now it's all just cool?

00:32:30.000 Nah, man, I don't buy it for a second.

00:32:33.000 I'm sorry, Zuck.

00:32:34.000 Like, you actually have to do something.

00:32:35.000 You have to do something to show us that you've turned over a new leaf.

00:32:40.000 And so, like...

00:32:41.000 Dana White on the board is, like, three points.

00:32:43.000 Okay, I mean, that's something.

00:32:45.000 But again, that's still, like...

00:32:46.000 It's like a potentiality.

00:32:49.000 I want to see that something on Instagram or Facebook or threads has actually changed.

00:32:55.000 If this was actually a pendulum swing for Zuckerberg?

00:32:58.000 Because boards don't run organizations.

00:33:00.000 Zuckerberg 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.

00:33:10.000 That would be the pendulum swing.

00:33:11.000 Zuckerberg coming out and saying, we're taking away the left's ability to suppress the right.

00:33:15.000 And now everyone's on a neutral playing field?

00:33:18.000 Is him saying...

00:33:19.000 We're not giving you anything at all.

00:33:21.000 We're just going back to zero.

00:33:23.000 Which, by the way, I'm going to say something.

00:33:25.000 Putting someone on the board, that's like DEI for MAGA. Just because it's Dana White.

00:33:29.000 It doesn't mean he's actually in charge of anything.

00:33:32.000 He's on the board.

00:33:33.000 Is anyone listening to him?

00:33:35.000 Is anyone taking direction from him?

00:33:36.000 Does he have higher fire ability?

00:33:38.000 Does he have any actual control?

00:33:40.000 And there's nothing against him, by the way.

00:33:42.000 And if he does, then great.

00:33:44.000 If he does have this ability, that's great.

00:33:45.000 But otherwise, it looks like virtue signaling to me.

00:33:49.000 Without any actual action with teeth behind it, we believe in action around here.

00:33:54.000 Action gets results.

00:33:55.000 And I know we're going to see, what, 100 executive orders from President Trump next week.

00:34:00.000 By the way, this is what I want him to do.

00:34:03.000 I want him in the middle of his speech.

00:34:06.000 So he's going to get up there.

00:34:07.000 He's going to get on the dais.

00:34:08.000 He's going to be on the balcony.

00:34:09.000 What I want him to do...

00:34:10.000 Is 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.

00:34:25.000 Signed!

00:34:27.000 Signed!

00:34:27.000 And 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.

00:34:40.000 Immediately.

00:34:41.000 Just do it.

00:34:41.000 Start doing stuff immediately.

00:34:43.000 Adrian Curry just says, I was re-monetized on Facebook today.

00:34:46.000 Congratulations.

00:34:47.000 Okay.

00:34:48.000 You know, it's like a trickle.

00:34:50.000 It's like, oh, a trickle.

00:34:51.000 Oh, a thimble of your gratitude from the great Zuck. 1.00

00:34:54.000 From the great Zuck. 0.86

00:34:56.000 The wise and great Zuck.

00:34:58.000 Oh, thank you, Lord Zuck.

00:34:59.000 Thank you so much.

00:35:00.000 Wow, this is incredible.

00:35:02.000 I mean, like, we all know people that have been banned, demonetized, and censored on Facebook to the point where it's kind of a joke.

00:35:08.000 Like, people don't even really go there that much.

00:35:10.000 I long said Facebook was one of the worst for censorship because...

00:35:14.000 YouTube was decent.

00:35:16.000 Nobody was good.

00:35:18.000 Well, X and Rumble are good, right?

00:35:20.000 But YouTube was decently bad, but nowhere near the worst.

00:35:24.000 TikTok is the worst.

00:35:25.000 100% the worst.

00:35:26.000 Absolutely.

00:35:27.000 We got banned on TikTok for having guests, not for breaking rules.

00:35:31.000 That's our understanding.

00:35:32.000 So it's like, I think we had Myron Gaines on and said nothing that broke the rules and they banned us.

00:35:40.000 And like, account gone.

00:35:42.000 And we're like, okay.

00:35:43.000 Facebook.

00:35:44.000 It was massively censorious on a wide range of political issues.

00:35:47.000 So we'd literally be like, this video talks about gender issues, we'll get banned.

00:35:51.000 YouTube, we talked about all of it.

00:35:53.000 The worst case scenario, for the most part, was we'd get demonetized.

00:35:55.000 Don't get me wrong, YouTube still censored COVID and medical stuff, but Facebook was really bad.

00:36:02.000 Let's see if Facebook improves.

00:36:04.000 However, I guess the problem is Zuckerberg destroyed the platform.

00:36:07.000 It's useless now.

00:36:10.000 It's useful for boomers. 1.00

00:36:12.000 And I mean that with no disrespect, like boomers use it. 0.91

00:36:14.000 But because of what they did in censoring everything, Gen Z and younger people went other places.

00:36:20.000 Yeah, I never go there.

00:36:22.000 I have no desire to go back either.

00:36:24.000 Tanya will, like my wife will.

00:36:26.000 She'll go on there, but she's also curated it in such a way where she really can only see what her friends are sharing.

00:36:34.000 So she uses it for friends and family, and that's it.

00:36:37.000 It's not something where she's trying to build a following or something, which I kind of wish I could have that back.

00:36:43.000 We made $310 on Facebook in the past month.

00:36:47.000 Congratulations.

00:36:48.000 Wow!

00:36:49.000 Look at that.

00:36:50.000 That's right.

00:36:50.000 We're making it in.

00:36:52.000 One of the biggest podcasts in the world.

00:36:54.000 Tim, now you don't have to sell the show.

00:36:56.000 That's right.

00:36:58.000 Folks, you don't realize this.

00:37:00.000 Tim's been, you know, as I drove up here, he was sitting out front with a little tin can.

00:37:05.000 He's like, please, please donate to TimCast.

00:37:08.000 It's the only way.

00:37:10.000 We're going to lose everything.

00:37:11.000 I was holding up a sign saying, become a member at TimCast.com.

00:37:13.000 We're going to lose everything.

00:37:14.000 On the weekends, we all have to rotate.

00:37:15.000 The cow looking at him kind of funny.

00:37:17.000 At the lemonade stand, we all have to sit at the lemonade stand.

00:37:19.000 Yeah, Phil's number one in sales, though.

00:37:20.000 I don't know how he does it.

00:37:21.000 How do you do that?

00:37:23.000 What are you putting in that lemonade, Phil?

00:37:25.000 A little caffeine.

00:37:27.000 We're going to talk about that.

00:37:28.000 There's something else that starts with a C. But yeah, I do think it's funny that on threads, they're pushing...

00:37:34.000 Like, has the left...

00:37:35.000 They've done this, right?

00:37:36.000 They make fake stories and then spread them around.

00:37:39.000 Yeah, it's called CNN. It's called Russiagate.

00:37:41.000 That's what I mean.

00:37:42.000 It's long been the corporate...

00:37:44.000 It's called the CIA, the FBI. There's a whole thing about...

00:37:48.000 These posts came from CIA guys who don't work in the government anymore because Trump got elected.

00:37:52.000 They quit.

00:37:53.000 Now they're on threads posting it.

00:37:55.000 The greatest thread is white supremacy.

00:37:57.000 By the way, that would have been their FBI report that was going to come out.

00:38:02.000 By the way, I was joking.

00:38:03.000 I was saying that...

00:38:04.000 You know, for Kash Patel when he gets nominated or Pete Hegseth, who by God should pass his confirmation hearing tomorrow.

00:38:11.000 Let's give it up for Pete Hegseth and screw the Wall Street Journal for coming after him at the 11th hour like they are right now.

00:38:18.000 Screw those guys.

00:38:19.000 Pete Hegseth is the man that the American people want.

00:38:22.000 He's the man veterans want.

00:38:24.000 And I don't play my veteran card very much, but I will play it for Pete Hegseth.

00:38:27.000 I have a correction.

00:38:28.000 We actually made $1,740 on Facebook last month.

00:38:33.000 Well, now we're talking, you know?

00:38:35.000 That's right.

00:38:35.000 That's enough to...

00:38:37.000 Phil, you don't have to sell the cocaine lemonade this week.

00:38:39.000 You know, I love what I do, though.

00:38:43.000 It feels like I drank it all.

00:38:45.000 I love what I do, you know.

00:38:48.000 Keep selling it to this guy named Hunter B. He's coming up for a little lemonade for some reason.

00:38:55.000 He says he comes up from D.C. No, but what they should do for the government, right, to have them set this up.

00:39:02.000 So people are saying that, okay, the first thing you have to do is make them actually show up for their jobs again.

00:39:06.000 Okay, so that's big, right?

00:39:07.000 Obviously we want that.

00:39:08.000 So no more, none of the teleworking.

00:39:09.000 You've got to actually show up for your jobs.

00:39:11.000 That'll get like 30% right there.

00:39:14.000 And then if you want to get rid of like the next 70% of federal workers, maybe there's like a slim majority.

00:39:19.000 They'll stick around.

00:39:20.000 They'll hold on by the skin of their teeth.

00:39:23.000 Force them to say the Pledge of Allegiance every single morning in person, in their offices, in a group setting.

00:39:32.000 Can they livestream that too?

00:39:33.000 Oh, yes.

00:39:33.000 We should all see it.

00:39:34.000 Oh, yeah.

00:39:34.000 We should all have to see it so we can check to make sure that everyone's there.

00:39:38.000 And if someone's not there, time cards, baby.

00:39:40.000 Time cards.

00:39:41.000 Let's go.

00:39:42.000 I 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.

00:39:55.000 Or Greenland.

00:39:56.000 Or Greenland.

00:39:57.000 Trump wants to buy Greenland to put the deep state there.

00:40:00.000 I can't fire you, but I can put you all in Nook.

00:40:02.000 What 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.

00:40:16.000 Storing the deep state.

00:40:17.000 Certain purposes.

00:40:19.000 It's kind of like the Phantom Zone in Superman.

00:40:21.000 In all seriousness, though, we should occupy Alaska.

00:40:25.000 As you had advocated for in the past.

00:40:27.000 Occupy Alaska!

00:40:27.000 Look, if we're going to occupy anywhere, if we're going to invade anywhere, don't invade Afghanistan.

00:40:32.000 Don't go for the lithium fields in East Tennessee or whatever it is.

00:40:37.000 Go for Alaska.

00:40:39.000 Just go for that we should be using this.

00:40:41.000 Look, I went up there with Daniel Turner, who I know comes on here all the time, and he was showing us around.

00:40:46.000 And look, there's some pristine, gorgeous, beautiful national parks up there.

00:40:50.000 I love them.

00:40:51.000 And we can tear it all down to drill, baby, drill!

00:40:54.000 Mount McKinley.

00:40:55.000 We're going to be calling it Mount McKinley again, renaming it Mount McKinley.

00:40:58.000 Yeah, what do they call it now?

00:41:00.000 Denali?

00:41:00.000 I don't know.

00:41:01.000 Because its name is Mount McKinley, Tim.

00:41:03.000 That's right.

00:41:03.000 That's the only name I care about.

00:41:04.000 Also Barrow.

00:41:05.000 I think Trump should mandate Utqiakvik as Barrow again. 0.99

00:41:08.000 Yeah, because everyone's telling me that even the Alaskans are like, yeah, we just say Barrow.

00:41:12.000 We can't even say Barrow.

00:41:13.000 It was like a couple dozen activists who voted to change the name, and they did.

00:41:18.000 For them, I guess.

00:41:19.000 But then he took us up to Prudhoe Bay after that, and we're up there, and I was like, dude, it's all mud.

00:41:24.000 It's all mud.

00:41:25.000 It's ugly.

00:41:26.000 It's just, like, muddy, tundra, like, whatever kind of land, but you know what's under that?

00:41:32.000 You know why it's muddy?

00:41:32.000 Because it's oil.

00:41:34.000 Because there's oil.

00:41:35.000 This is Anwar.

00:41:36.000 So it's oil.

00:41:37.000 There's natural resources.

00:41:38.000 And I kid you not, as we were driving around with Daniel Turner, this was a couple years ago now, and...

00:41:43.000 You 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.

00:41:54.000 They huddle around it?

00:41:55.000 Go look at it.

00:41:56.000 Oh, they do more than huddle, Tim.

00:41:58.000 It starts with huddling.

00:42:00.000 Is that what you call it?

00:42:01.000 That's what kids call it these days.

00:42:02.000 Huddle it up.

00:42:04.000 And as we were driving around, we actually saw a bunch of caribou walking by the pipeline.

00:42:10.000 I was like, Did you plan this?

00:42:12.000 Like, did you have, like, a trailer with some caribou and a walkie-talkie?

00:42:16.000 Like, all right, Pazomic's coming around. 0.96

00:42:17.000 Pull him out.

00:42:18.000 And no, they were literally frolicking around this thing.

00:42:22.000 And it's like, this can work.

00:42:23.000 This can totally work.

00:42:24.000 Also, on that trip, I did get the chance to...

00:42:27.000 I was going to jump into the Arctic Ocean, and he was like, Jack, I have liability issues.

00:42:34.000 But I did get my hand in.

00:42:35.000 So that's an important one to get.

00:42:36.000 So we got to do that.

00:42:38.000 It was, I think, negative...

00:42:40.000 30-something, like when I was in Alaska, and that's nuts.

00:42:45.000 Yeah.

00:42:45.000 Standing outside for even like a minute, and icicles start forming everywhere on your face.

00:42:49.000 Yep.

00:42:50.000 Because as you breathe, it just starts freezing.

00:42:52.000 Like the humidity goes to your eyelashes, and then you get just ice on your face.

00:42:56.000 Nuts.

00:42:57.000 And I saw the Aurora Borealis at that time of year in that part of the country.

00:43:02.000 Localized.

00:43:03.000 Entirely above the Fairbanks airport.

00:43:06.000 Let's pull up this story.

00:43:07.000 May I see it?

00:43:08.000 No.

00:43:08.000 All right, we got this.

00:43:10.000 Shout out to Richie.

00:43:11.000 This is from Fox News.

00:43:13.000 Gavin Newsom defends fire response with fact check site linking to Democrat Party fundraising platform.

00:43:18.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:43:18.000 Linking to what?

00:43:19.000 Democrat Party fundraising platform.

00:43:22.000 Actually, a political action committee called Act Blue.

00:43:25.000 That's not real.

00:43:27.000 There's no way.

00:43:28.000 Democrats are skimming 4% of your donations off the top.

00:43:31.000 And it's totally legal, and I am not suggesting anything untoward.

00:43:34.000 I just think it's unethical.

00:43:36.000 That's my opinion.

00:43:37.000 This is ActBlue.

00:43:38.000 It's a big scandal.

00:43:39.000 Go to youtube.com slash timcast to subscribe because we put up a video every 4 p.m.

00:43:44.000 We have an essay breakdown on what ActBlue is, how they're basically skimming off the top, but we're going to go over it right now.

00:43:51.000 So check this out.

00:43:53.000 Gavin Newsom posts this website.

00:43:55.000 California Fire Facts.

00:43:56.000 And he says, get the facts.

00:43:58.000 And up top on the right, it says, donate to Cal Fire Foundation.

00:44:02.000 Would you like to donate to the California Fire Foundation, Jack Posobiec?

00:44:05.000 I mean, who wouldn't?

00:44:06.000 How dare you not donate?

00:44:08.000 I am refusing to donate to Cal Fire Foundation.

00:44:11.000 I'm going to click the button.

00:44:11.000 You just hate the firemen, don't you?

00:44:13.000 I clicked the button.

00:44:14.000 All right.

00:44:14.000 Wait, hold on.

00:44:16.000 What's that website say?

00:44:17.000 That's not a picture of a firefighter.

00:44:20.000 That's Gavin Newsom.

00:44:21.000 That's Gavin Newsom.

00:44:22.000 And what does the website say?

00:44:23.000 What's the URL? The URL says secure.actblue.com.

00:44:29.000 That doesn't sound like firefighters?

00:44:30.000 The firefighters called the ActBlue Fire Department?

00:44:32.000 What's the name of the fundraising page?

00:44:35.000 Campaign for Democracy?

00:44:37.000 That doesn't sound like no firefighters.

00:44:39.000 Oh my.

00:44:40.000 And then it says this.

00:44:41.000 Your donation will go directly towards supporting firefighters in the communities they serve, including direct financial support to impacted residents.

00:44:48.000 Your contribution will benefit California Fire Foundation.

00:44:52.000 So what's the problem?

00:44:53.000 It's going to go to the firefighters, right?

00:44:54.000 However, underneath it says contribution rules.

00:44:58.000 Charitable 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.

00:45:08.000 The merchant of record in this transaction is ActBlue Charities, Inc.

00:45:11.000 We subsequently give your contribution to the organization or cause that you have selected on the contribution form within 30 days.

00:45:18.000 Okay, well, so what's the issue here, Jack?

00:45:21.000 I mean, it's not, I thought I was going to the firefighter's website, but why is that a problem?

00:45:26.000 So 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.

00:45:40.000 To elect or push for progressive values, that has nothing to do with directly impacting firefighters.

00:45:48.000 No, it directly impacted this definitely.

00:45:49.000 They're the cause.

00:45:51.000 They'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.

00:46:01.000 It's completely insane.

00:46:03.000 Let me read this from Fox News.

00:46:05.000 The 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.

00:46:13.000 The 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.

00:46:21.000 So here's the gist of it.

00:46:23.000 If you go...

00:46:29.000 Wow.

00:46:33.000 I didn't realize that.

00:46:34.000 Now, hold on.

00:46:34.000 It doesn't say on the ActBlue site that they're waiving the fee, as far as I can tell.

00:46:40.000 However, they are saying in the news report that they're waiving that fee.

00:46:42.000 But the bigger story, largely...

00:46:44.000 Is that they're collecting your information.

00:46:47.000 And they're getting your data, yeah.

00:46:48.000 They're getting your data, your emails.

00:46:49.000 They're going to know where you live.

00:46:50.000 And they are using that to campaign for political office.

00:46:54.000 They are manipulating and exploiting a disaster to try and win elected office.

00:46:59.000 It doesn't, I mean, I can't get over this, by the way.

00:47:01.000 It's a giant picture of Gavin Newsom.

00:47:04.000 I mean, that right there is politicking.

00:47:07.000 It's Gavin Newsom.

00:47:08.000 It doesn't even, like, he's...

00:47:09.000 Just obviously at a political event, it has nothing to do with firefighting here.

00:47:13.000 And it says, donate to Cal Fire Foundation.

00:47:16.000 And when you click it, it brings you to Gavin Newsom's campaign for democracy.

00:47:20.000 I'm assuming it's his.

00:47:21.000 It's a big picture of him.

00:47:23.000 It's amazing, isn't it?

00:47:24.000 So in the 1970s, the weather underground, domestic Marxist terrorists blew up a lot of people, went to jail after being fugitives.

00:47:33.000 Bill Ayers, hold on.

00:47:34.000 Bill Ayers, Susan Rosenberg, bad people.

00:47:37.000 Susan Rosenberg was pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.

00:47:41.000 She became a professor.

00:47:43.000 Years later, she started Thousand Currents.

00:47:45.000 And then during the 2020 riots, Thousand Currents helped Act Blue fund all their money to bail funds for BLM terrorists. 0.75

00:47:51.000 This is what they do.

00:47:53.000 Act Blue loves to fund terrorists.

00:47:55.000 Who was their stepson, by the way?

00:47:57.000 Oh, he was the only guy recalled in California, I believe.

00:48:02.000 That's a boot in.

00:48:03.000 Is that his name?

00:48:04.000 I 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.

00:48:18.000 Who almost just pardoned?

00:48:20.000 You were wrong, technically.

00:48:23.000 Where at?

00:48:24.000 The Weather Underground didn't blow anyone but themselves up.

00:48:27.000 Well, they killed some people in Annuette.

00:48:29.000 There was...

00:48:30.000 What was it?

00:48:30.000 The shooting?

00:48:31.000 In New York.

00:48:31.000 The bank robbery.

00:48:32.000 Right.

00:48:32.000 That was a shooting, wasn't it?

00:48:34.000 It might have been a shooting in Annuette.

00:48:35.000 The bombing was...

00:48:36.000 The only people who were killed in Weather Underground bombings were three members of the Weather Underground.

00:48:41.000 Okay.

00:48:42.000 So...

00:48:42.000 They still killed people.

00:48:44.000 But you were technically correct.

00:48:46.000 They were hoping to bomb people.

00:48:46.000 They did blow up a lot of people themselves.

00:48:48.000 But they were planning to align the white elite overeducated degenerates with the Black Liberation Front.

00:48:55.000 Which 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.

00:49:04.000 It was satire.

00:49:06.000 It's good to be true.

00:49:07.000 But yeah, Bill Ayers raised that kid while his parents were in jail.

00:49:10.000 And Cuomo on his last day in office pardoned that guy's dad at the behest of the sun.

00:49:14.000 Listen, the left is better at organizing than you are.

00:49:19.000 True.

00:49:19.000 Than we are.

00:49:20.000 So look, I used to work for a bunch of these non-profits and I was flabbergasted.

00:49:25.000 When 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.

00:49:33.000 It's like secretary, treasurer, and president or something.

00:49:35.000 I don't know.

00:49:35.000 I don't remember.

00:49:36.000 It's been a while.

00:49:37.000 And 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.

00:49:45.000 Then, 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.

00:49:53.000 So 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.

00:49:59.000 And we were like, wow, that's really crazy.

00:50:02.000 They keep starting these non-profits.

00:50:04.000 Here's the con.

00:50:05.000 One of the reasons I got out of the industry.

00:50:08.000 I remember asking the non-profit, what do you do with the funds?

00:50:13.000 So when we say like 90% of the funding goes to the cause, people ask, like, if I give you 10 bucks, how much goes to the cause?

00:50:20.000 We tell them $9.

00:50:22.000 And they go, really?

00:50:23.000 90%?

00:50:23.000 That's right.

00:50:24.000 Only 10% is administrative.

00:50:27.000 So I asked the guy, what is that 90% going towards?

00:50:31.000 And he said, you, fundraising.

00:50:33.000 I said, what?

00:50:35.000 He says, isn't getting out and spreading the message the most important thing we can do?

00:50:39.000 And I was like, you mean to tell me that we are raising money?

00:50:43.000 To pay ourselves to raise money?

00:50:45.000 And 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.

00:50:52.000 And I was like, it sounds like you're full of it.

00:50:56.000 A little malarkey.

00:50:57.000 Full of malarkey.

00:50:58.000 Which brings me to my good friend's Pod Save America.

00:51:02.000 You guys want to talk about Pod Save America?

00:51:04.000 I want to do a quick shout-out on all this to...

00:51:09.000 A great Californian named Mike Cernovich right now.

00:51:13.000 He's great.

00:51:13.000 Big fan.

00:51:14.000 Up on Gives and Go has raised, I believe, something like $250,000.

00:51:20.000 And then he and his family put up some money.

00:51:22.000 They're working with Chef Gruel.

00:51:24.000 Absolutely.

00:51:24.000 Heroes.

00:51:24.000 And those guys.

00:51:25.000 And he's done it.

00:51:26.000 I know Breitbart did a write-up earlier.

00:51:28.000 It said he's doing it in such a way where...

00:51:30.000 He's not even touching a single cent.

00:51:33.000 Give send go.

00:51:34.000 I 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.

00:51:45.000 I'm a big fan.

00:51:46.000 I've got a lot of respect for Mike Cernovich.

00:51:47.000 He's great, and the stuff he's doing down in California to help is fantastic.

00:51:51.000 And also, shout out to Chef Gruul.

00:51:53.000 We'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.

00:52:09.000 Very cool to hear.

00:52:10.000 And while we're talking about that, let's jump over to our friends over at Pod Save America.

00:52:14.000 So give me the quick version.

00:52:16.000 And I want to stress, I don't think these guys are doing anything legally wrong.

00:52:22.000 This is some of the most brilliant organizing I've ever seen.

00:52:23.000 So someone pointed out that Pod Save America, that Vote Save America, a nonprofit, their biggest expenditure was media buys from Pod Save America.

00:52:37.000 So you basically, I'll just give you a simple version of the story.

00:52:40.000 This guy John Favreau says you're a fraud.

00:52:42.000 VSA Action isn't even a PAC. It's a non-profit.

00:52:44.000 All you have to do is click the link to see where the money goes.

00:52:47.000 And this is where things are being confused.

00:52:50.000 Vote Save America, a PAC, and Vote Save America Action are two different groups.

00:52:55.000 Pod Save America was fundraising for Vote Save America Action.

00:52:59.000 To assist with the fire relief.

00:53:02.000 You donate to them.

00:53:03.000 They break up the donations among five different charities.

00:53:06.000 Through Act Blue, however, which by default takes a fee.

00:53:10.000 So there is still that issue.

00:53:12.000 They're campaigning off this.

00:53:14.000 But here's the real issue.

00:53:17.000 So let me pull up Vote Save America.

00:53:22.000 Let's see if I can find this.

00:53:24.000 Here we go.

00:53:25.000 Influence Watch.

00:53:27.000 Pod Save America, for those that don't know, is a large leftist liberal podcast.

00:53:31.000 It's very prominent in this country.

00:53:32.000 According to Influence Watch, Vote Save America is an online voter guide operated by left of center political media company Crooked Media.

00:53:40.000 VSA's adopted state campaign steers activists who do not reside in battleground states to volunteer in the effort, blah, blah, blah.

00:53:45.000 We get the point.

00:53:46.000 They're progressives.

00:53:46.000 So it's run by Crooked Media, which is Pod Save America.

00:53:50.000 Pod Save America.

00:53:52.000 So here's their website, Vote Save America.

00:53:55.000 I want to donate to support the Anxiety Relief Program.

00:53:58.000 It says, when you click it, your contribution will benefit Vote Save America.

00:54:02.000 They say that they started the Anxiety Relief Program to fund grassroots organizations, campaigns, and voter protection efforts that are too often overlooked.

00:54:09.000 In 2024, because of donors' generosity, they raised $3.7 million.

00:54:14.000 That funding supported over 67 partner organizations, 14 states, 36 down-bought candidates, 45 House campaigns, 7 U.S. Senate campaigns.

00:54:23.000 Would you like to see the number one expenditure for Vote Save America?

00:54:27.000 It's crooked media.

00:54:29.000 I'm not saying they're not contributing to these other platforms.

00:54:31.000 They're not helping.

00:54:32.000 I'm not saying they're doing anything wrong.

00:54:34.000 I'm saying this is brilliant.

00:54:35.000 From 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.

00:54:53.000 It's a human centipede.

00:54:55.000 What percentage is that?

00:54:58.000 It looks, I could, again, I could be wrong, but maybe about 35 to 40%.

00:55:02.000 That's huge.

00:55:04.000 $2.8 million.

00:55:06.000 Their 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.

00:55:18.000 I 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.

00:55:30.000 You can see their total expenses.

00:55:31.000 All right, here we go.

00:55:32.000 Contributions, they gave 2.2.

00:55:35.000 In media, it was 2.2.

00:55:37.000 So I don't know.

00:55:38.000 I think to Crooked Media, which is their media company, it's not just ad buys.

00:55:43.000 It's also consulting and other things.

00:55:44.000 But you can see it's 32.31% media of their expenditures.

00:55:51.000 I think it's brilliant.

00:55:52.000 The point I'm bringing you guys is that the left organizes better than the right.

00:55:57.000 Okay, but there's a corollary to that.

00:55:59.000 Is that when Steve Bannon set up a non-profit or actually...

00:56:04.000 Promoted a nonprofit that he didn't even set up himself to fund the building of a private wall.

00:56:10.000 So, you know, conservatives said, hey, you know what?

00:56:12.000 We really want this wall built.

00:56:14.000 And 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.

00:56:23.000 They said, all right, we'll get private land.

00:56:24.000 We'll set up a nonprofit.

00:56:26.000 We'll get people to donate to the nonprofit.

00:56:28.000 We'll crowdfund this and then we can build the wall literally ourselves on private land.

00:56:33.000 And he's going to jail for that because they found a...

00:56:39.000 They're claiming that, by the way, there are already people in jail for that.

00:56:42.000 He had federal charges on that, which required a pardon.

00:56:45.000 He has state charges for that that are coming up under Letitia James in New York City and Alvin Bragg and all of this.

00:56:50.000 So they're trying to put Steve Bannon in jail.

00:56:53.000 He goes on trial, by the way, next month in New York City over this.

00:56:58.000 And by the way, they used a straw donor.

00:57:01.000 I think it's like a $21 donation.

00:57:04.000 And this guy said, I feel like I was defrauded because of the percentages that were.

00:57:08.000 We'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.

00:57:14.000 Like, look at Wounded Warriors.

00:57:16.000 This is a huge problem, by the way, with the Red Cross.

00:57:19.000 The Red Cross gets criticized like this.

00:57:21.000 For a ton, because why would they spend so much of their money on, like you were saying, fundraising, fundraising activities.

00:57:27.000 But Steve Bannon is going to go to jail for that because we have lawfare in this country.

00:57:30.000 So, 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.

00:57:39.000 By the way, shout out to the Turning Point Ball.

00:57:41.000 I hear it's going to be pretty hot this Sunday night.

00:57:43.000 I plan to be there.

00:57:45.000 As well as the coronation ball.

00:57:47.000 But look, you know, when the right tries to do that, literally we get put in jail.

00:57:52.000 Yep, yep.

00:57:53.000 This is...

00:57:54.000 There will be no kind of...

00:57:57.000 There will be nothing even close to resembling an investigation or anything like that.

00:58:01.000 I mean, no one's going to even look at these guys crossly.

00:58:05.000 So here's a quick point.

00:58:07.000 I'm going to start the Phil Labonte Foundation for saving sick cats.

00:58:11.000 And when, you know, you donate to that foundation...

00:58:15.000 Rest assured, you are doing the most effective thing you can do to help save sick cats.

00:58:20.000 Then, of course, Phil, your foundation owes me for that ad read I just did, so pay me all the money.

00:58:26.000 Isn't spreading the word about sick cats the most important thing you can do to save them?

00:58:30.000 Of course it is.

00:58:31.000 There you go.

00:58:32.000 There's nothing illegal about that, right?

00:58:34.000 Is Pod Save America the guys who are the Obama speechwriters?

00:58:37.000 I don't know.

00:58:38.000 I think some of them, yeah.

00:58:40.000 Perhaps.

00:58:41.000 They have a Stacey Abrams podcast.

00:58:42.000 Oh, that sounds exciting.

00:58:43.000 Basically, the simple version is people donate to this political action committee for a variety of causes.

00:58:49.000 I 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.

00:58:58.000 So, look, I think Democrats love this.

00:59:01.000 I want to stress this.

00:59:03.000 If you go to a progressive and say, did you know when you donate to this charity, you're actually helping fund leftist podcasts?

00:59:09.000 They're going to go, that's awesome.

00:59:11.000 We need a media narrative machine.

00:59:13.000 All these liberals keep screaming how they need to make money to do this.

00:59:16.000 They are loving the machine operates this way.

00:59:18.000 It's their religion.

00:59:19.000 The 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.

00:59:27.000 Well, I mean, again, there's an entire...

00:59:30.000 One 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.

00:59:49.000 There's nothing like that.

00:59:50.000 I thought you were going to say it was that he convinced the world he didn't exist.

00:59:54.000 No, that's Kevin Spacey.

00:59:59.000 It's brilliant.

01:00:00.000 It's absolutely brilliant.

01:00:01.000 Then his best ROI move, of course, was the prosecutors.

01:00:04.000 But 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.

01:00:22.000 And 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?

01:00:27.000 It's like, well, the ROI is that we win the culture and then thus win the country.

01:00:31.000 And they sit there and go, like, I don't think that's going to make money.

01:00:34.000 I'm not donating.

01:00:35.000 That's why you don't see good conservative movies.

01:00:37.000 That'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.

01:00:45.000 We're just talking about the news here.

01:00:46.000 Outside of a few others, because you don't see these massive donors just writing checks and putting it into the ecosystem like that.

01:00:53.000 Yep.

01:00:54.000 Let's jump to the story from USA Today.

01:00:57.000 We have good news, everybody.

01:00:58.000 Don't worry.

01:00:59.000 Directed energy weapons did not start the LA wildfires because this guy, Andre Biak, who works in an office, somehow knows that. 0.96

01:01:06.000 Listen, 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.

01:01:15.000 Like, bro, maybe if the fire chief comes out and tells us definitively what started the fires, I will agree with it's debunked.

01:01:21.000 But what ends up happening with these fact checkers is they go, that sounds crazy, so I'm going to call it fake.

01:01:26.000 And then they just run fact check fake.

01:01:28.000 That's how we ended up with people saying lab leak isn't real.

01:01:32.000 Because the narrative machine said, no, COVID lab leak isn't real.

01:01:35.000 And now they're saying COVID lab leak is what happened.

01:01:38.000 So, the claim.

01:01:39.000 Image shows directed energy weapons cause 2025 wildfires.

01:01:43.000 Now, to be fair, I think it's fine if you say that the image is wrong.

01:01:47.000 Our rating false.

01:01:48.000 The causes of the LA fires has not been announced as of January 10th.

01:01:52.000 There'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.

01:02:00.000 Look, if I'm going to be honest as a newsman, I would just say unverified.

01:02:04.000 Well, now I think there's lasers.

01:02:06.000 Right, as soon as I say it's not, I'm like, oof.

01:02:08.000 Did you see the Newsweek thing with Tulsi Gabbard today that Alexa Henning put out?

01:02:12.000 So this is incredible.

01:02:13.000 I have it here.

01:02:14.000 I pulled it up on X. This was amazing.

01:02:17.000 So Alexa Henning and she works. 1.00

01:02:21.000 I think she was in the Trump White House before.

01:02:24.000 So they reached out and they said, Hi, Tulsi Gabbard spreads Russian and Assad propaganda.

01:02:29.000 Can you comment?

01:02:31.000 She responds back.

01:02:32.000 Can you send me exact quotes of this?

01:02:35.000 They send over a few Newsweek articles.

01:02:37.000 And then she's like, but wait, there aren't any exact quotes in here.

01:02:41.000 What quotes are you specifically referring to?

01:02:44.000 And this is Sophie Grace Clark, who's another one of these type of fact checkers, and saying, have you included her exact quotes?

01:02:52.000 Quotes, here's the response.

01:02:53.000 That is not what the story is about.

01:02:56.000 I am merely providing context around her choice as a cabinet pick.

01:03:02.000 If I write a longer story on her in the future, I will turn to those quotes.

01:03:07.000 Thank you for sending me your time and your reference to Trump's statement on her nomination.

01:03:13.000 I've used that in the story.

01:03:14.000 So 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?

01:03:23.000 And I'll give you a response to them.

01:03:24.000 And she's saying, Nope.

01:03:26.000 I'm not writing a story about things she said.

01:03:28.000 I'm writing a story about things that we think about her.

01:03:32.000 Right.

01:03:32.000 And you have to respond to that.

01:03:34.000 So 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.

01:03:50.000 And she's going to be going in as the director of national intelligence.

01:03:53.000 So, you know, hugely influential job.

01:03:55.000 And so they're like, okay, let's, you know, let's get this out, right?

01:03:57.000 We're going to have these confirmation battles.

01:03:59.000 And she doesn't even give the actual quote.

01:04:02.000 She just says, this story is about the broader context about her.

01:04:06.000 Yep.

01:04:06.000 That's why their readership is dying.

01:04:08.000 All of them.

01:04:09.000 Washington Post, readership is down 90%.

01:04:11.000 You saw that one?

01:04:12.000 It's like, yeah, it's like 87, yeah, about 90%.

01:04:14.000 Because fact-checking needs to be logical.

01:04:19.000 So, again, my point.

01:04:22.000 If 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.

01:04:35.000 We don't know it started the fires.

01:04:36.000 That's how I'd respond.

01:04:38.000 Yeah, that's fair.

01:04:38.000 But imagine someone goes, hey, I heard that lasers started the fire.

01:04:43.000 And I said, that's completely false.

01:04:46.000 They'd be like, oh, how do you know? 1.00

01:04:50.000 Because it sounds stupid. 1.00

01:04:51.000 That's what they're saying. 1.00

01:04:53.000 That's what these fact checks and debunks are.

01:04:55.000 And it also gets into the epistemological question of we have all the truth.

01:05:02.000 We have all the science.

01:05:03.000 We have all the knowledge.

01:05:04.000 We can know everything under the sun.

01:05:07.000 And it's like, do you not even have a little bit of humility to say that, you know, what if?

01:05:12.000 What 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?

01:05:29.000 How do you know that that didn't happen?

01:05:31.000 I wonder if USA Today reported on the lasers that Ukraine's using, because they're using lasers to shoot down things.

01:05:39.000 They shoot down drones.

01:05:39.000 Right?

01:05:40.000 Yeah.

01:05:41.000 Lasers.

01:05:42.000 Or how about when China laser scanned Hawaii?

01:05:44.000 Remember that?

01:05:45.000 Yep.

01:05:46.000 Chinese satellites fired lasers to scan the topology of Hawaii, and there's a video of it.

01:05:51.000 You can watch the video.

01:05:52.000 It's a crazy video.

01:05:55.000 It's crazy.

01:05:55.000 Also, 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?

01:06:05.000 Millie was talking about. 0.91

01:06:06.000 It took him like two years to write this thing.

01:06:08.000 It's crazy.

01:06:08.000 Whoa.

01:06:10.000 Energy weapons that could make your blood feel like it's boiling.

01:06:12.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:06:13.000 Or like the Havana Syndrome stuff.

01:06:15.000 It's called an active denial system.

01:06:16.000 It's crazy stuff.

01:06:17.000 I 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.

01:06:27.000 He's in that world.

01:06:28.000 He'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.

01:06:38.000 And have had stuff happen, and it's associated with this, and something is clearly happening to them.

01:06:43.000 You have long-term effects?

01:06:44.000 Yeah, long-term effects.

01:06:46.000 This stuff is scary.

01:06:47.000 And 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.

01:06:56.000 And by the way, we have stuff too.

01:06:57.000 You ever hear the story about the guy who stuck his head in a particle accelerator?

01:07:01.000 No.

01:07:02.000 Was it Ian?

01:07:03.000 It might have been.

01:07:06.000 So the guy was doing maintenance on a particle accelerator and then his head went in the path of the proton.

01:07:13.000 It went right through his skull.

01:07:14.000 But it's a single proton, so he was seemingly fine.

01:07:18.000 But then it caused weird issues with his brain and how he behaved and how he acted.

01:07:23.000 So it was Ian.

01:07:25.000 Imagine if you were able to fire a single particle.

01:07:28.000 No one would be able to see it.

01:07:30.000 You wouldn't feel it.

01:07:31.000 Yeah. 0.90

01:07:32.000 But you would start having a mental breakdown, your brain wouldn't work properly. 0.60

01:07:35.000 A gamma ray.

01:07:36.000 Yeah.

01:07:36.000 You know?

01:07:37.000 How would you detect that?

01:07:38.000 How would you CSI that one?

01:07:40.000 Right.

01:07:41.000 No, you're not going to do anything.

01:07:42.000 So we need to...

01:07:43.000 But 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.

01:08:00.000 And by the way, to be fair, I'll even be fair, because he's talking about an image, right?

01:08:05.000 So yeah, okay, the image is not true in this case.

01:08:08.000 But we know the mentality that we're getting at, because we've all...

01:08:10.000 We've dealt with it, and we've all dealt with those people.

01:08:12.000 Let me read this for you guys.

01:08:13.000 This is something for you for Sunday or something.

01:08:16.000 You got that crazy look in your eye again.

01:08:18.000 Anatoly Bogorski, 1978, was checking on a malfunctioning piece of equipment when the safety mechanisms failed.

01:08:25.000 He 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.

01:08:36.000 They say that he survived.

01:08:38.000 Completed his PhD, but he had health problems.

01:08:40.000 Left side face paralysis, hearing loss in his left ear seizures.

01:08:44.000 The beam burned a line through his brain, but he didn't experience mental decline.

01:08:48.000 The half of his face that was hit by the beam didn't seem to age.

01:08:52.000 What?

01:08:53.000 Which led to some speculation the proton beams could prevent wrinkles.

01:08:57.000 The beam was narrowly focused, which may have helped limit the damage to Bogorski's brain.

01:09:01.000 Most radiation exposure affects the whole body, but in his case, the damage was concentrated to a single area.

01:09:06.000 Great.

01:09:06.000 Now celebrities are going to beam their faces.

01:09:08.000 Maybe they already are.

01:09:10.000 That's what caused the fire!

01:09:12.000 See, we just figured it out!

01:09:14.000 It was celebrities using particle accelerators to achieve immortality, to stop the wrinkles.

01:09:20.000 It's not Botox.

01:09:21.000 Has anyone seen Brian Johnson?

01:09:22.000 This is the next thing.

01:09:23.000 That guy looks like...

01:09:24.000 I don't like looking at that guy.

01:09:26.000 Rian Johnson from...

01:09:27.000 Rian Johnson.

01:09:28.000 The vampire. 0.72

01:09:29.000 The backwards aging guy. 1.00

01:09:30.000 Oh, yes.

01:09:31.000 I guess a lot of people hate that guy.

01:09:33.000 I got no beef.

01:09:34.000 I have no beef.

01:09:35.000 I'm happy for him, but it freaks me out.

01:09:36.000 I'm excited.

01:09:37.000 But he is kind of creepy.

01:09:38.000 Transhumanism. 0.78

01:09:39.000 To be fair, like...

01:09:40.000 You know, when he's like, I look younger and everything, I'm like, you don't, you just look kind of weird.

01:09:44.000 But that's okay, I'm not trying to be a mean, he seems like a nice guy, you know what I mean?

01:09:48.000 No, he does, like, I'll give him a lot of credit because he does that, he kind of leans into it, he jokes about it.

01:09:55.000 He looks kind of weird.

01:09:56.000 And that he'll just go back and forth and mix it up on X, and I'll give anybody respect who just does that.

01:10:02.000 Yeah, personally, I think he looks a little weird.

01:10:05.000 Considering he's putting himself through this insane, like, immortality treatment.

01:10:09.000 And it's affected his appearance.

01:10:10.000 I think it's worth pointing out the negative element of that.

01:10:13.000 But, you know, personality-wise and everything he's doing, I think is really cool.

01:10:16.000 So, he was posting, like, why are there so many haters who hate what I'm doing?

01:10:19.000 It's like, he's living his life.

01:10:20.000 He's doing what he wants to do.

01:10:22.000 The research is going to be greatly beneficial to humanity.

01:10:24.000 I'm all for it.

01:10:26.000 I don't think we should be promoting transhumanism. 1.00

01:10:30.000 I mean, I look at what he's doing as more like medical research.

01:10:34.000 Yeah?

01:10:34.000 Yeah, I mean, if he...

01:10:36.000 If he doesn't want to die, that seems like beyond.

01:10:39.000 Someone's got a bad heart.

01:10:41.000 Dying, unfortunately, is part of life.

01:10:43.000 I guess the distinction would be between pure transhumanism and biohacking.

01:10:50.000 Or medicine.

01:10:53.000 Imagine going back in time, a thousand years, and someone's their heart's giving out, and you said, I can give you a new heart.

01:10:59.000 And they'd be like, this transhumanist nonsense, you can't get a new heart? 1.00

01:11:03.000 No, we do it all the time.

01:11:04.000 Does he want, he wants to be in his own body?

01:11:07.000 Like, I thought I've seen him say he wants to be in another body at some point.

01:11:10.000 I mean, maybe, I don't know.

01:11:11.000 That's where you get into the transhumanist.

01:11:14.000 He's doing stuff where he said, the best thing you can do to fight aging is eat olive oil.

01:11:18.000 And I'm like, okay.

01:11:19.000 That's fair.

01:11:20.000 Yeah, it's totally fine.

01:11:20.000 If he started advocating for nanite injections into your brain to cyberize, like in Ghost in the Shell, I might be like, whoa.

01:11:27.000 Like, yeah, I'm out.

01:11:28.000 Over there, Nelly. 0.62

01:11:28.000 I'm out. 0.62

01:11:29.000 That's where Kurzweil's.

01:11:30.000 Like, Neuralink is already getting me going like, whoa.

01:11:33.000 I'm a big fan of Elon, but Neuralink, I understand curing paralysis and things like that.

01:11:38.000 It's fantastic.

01:11:39.000 But I also am deeply terrified of what Neuralink will do.

01:11:42.000 The 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.

01:11:49.000 I get it.

01:11:50.000 Actually, I take that back.

01:11:52.000 I am really excited for Neuralink.

01:11:54.000 I beg and I pray.

01:11:55.000 Jack, do you know what happened right now?

01:11:57.000 If Elon came out...

01:11:58.000 Did 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.

01:12:07.000 We'll do it.

01:12:07.000 You signed it up?

01:12:08.000 No, but every liberal will.

01:12:10.000 And then they're gonna live in the pod, eating the bugs, and we don't gotta worry about it anymore.

01:12:13.000 I mean, they kind of already...

01:12:14.000 Just like how all the liberals hate...

01:12:15.000 But imagine, like, you know it, dude.

01:12:17.000 Every, like, liberal dude's gonna be like, I'd rather fight a dragon.

01:12:20.000 And they're gonna plug right in and go into Star Wars world.

01:12:23.000 I mean, that's not necessarily, like, the liberals.

01:12:25.000 That's the Omega males.

01:12:26.000 So, there's...

01:12:27.000 Which is largely liberal.

01:12:28.000 Or the Gamma males. 0.51

01:12:29.000 These are, like, beyond beta, beyond...

01:12:32.000 Delta, like, way down in the food chain.

01:12:34.000 They're just like, they've totally pulled themselves out of the gene pool.

01:12:37.000 And it's all, it's like you said, like, just...

01:12:39.000 Largely Democrat!

01:12:40.000 You know, they do tend to be largely Democrat, but it is a separate type of thing than just a committed liberal.

01:12:47.000 They are your Reddit atheist type, for sure. 0.50

01:12:50.000 That's right.

01:12:51.000 However, the moment that turns on, the next election cycle swings Republican five points.

01:12:57.000 Because they're all fighting dragons in Star Wars?

01:12:59.000 Yep.

01:13:00.000 Yeah.

01:13:00.000 Because they're going to be like, why do I care about your election, dude?

01:13:03.000 I'm the Sith Emperor. 0.61

01:13:05.000 They're buying those sex robots that were at that new CES. You don't need them! 0.94

01:13:07.000 You 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. 0.66

01:13:15.000 They're going to plug their brains into Wally World.

01:13:18.000 Wait, they're the busty woman fighting the dragon? 1.00

01:13:20.000 Some of them, yes!

01:13:21.000 Some of these guys, yes!

01:13:24.000 We're mixing and matching the Neuralinks! 1.00

01:13:26.000 Something is going on.

01:13:27.000 Some of the guys will absolutely do that.

01:13:29.000 Some of it has gone wrong.

01:13:30.000 If you have questions on which fantasy you'd like in your Neuralink, send your emails to 1776 at humanevents.com.

01:13:38.000 That's 1776 at humanevents.com.

01:13:40.000 Let's jump to the story from Bloomberg.

01:13:42.000 China discusses sale of TikTok U.S. to Musk as one possible option.

01:13:47.000 But wait!

01:13:48.000 TikTok denies report!

01:13:51.000 They call the report that China is exploring sale of app to Elon Musk pure fiction.

01:13:55.000 I think TikTok should be banned.

01:13:58.000 I think that what was happening was TikTok was largely banning conservatives.

01:14:02.000 We have no control over it, so conservatives wanted to get rid of it.

01:14:05.000 So 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.

01:14:11.000 And 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.

01:14:17.000 I don't like the deep state controlling social media.

01:14:21.000 But at least there's some recourse in investigations and foreign requests.

01:14:24.000 I'm not a fan of TikTok.

01:14:26.000 I think they should divest from any foreign partners.

01:14:28.000 Yeah, I think that, I mean, look.

01:14:29.000 So you're saying you're not a fan of TikTok as currently constituted?

01:14:32.000 Yeah, if TikTok divested, totally fine.

01:14:34.000 I think they're censorious and bad, but they're allowed to operate so long as we're not at risk nationally.

01:14:41.000 If TikTok is...

01:14:44.000 Preferential to shutting down as opposed to selling.

01:14:46.000 I think that speaks to what the actual function of TikTok is.

01:14:50.000 I think that it's likely an intelligence gathering op by the Chinese, by the CCP, more than anything else.

01:14:59.000 And so I honestly, like, normally I'm just like, you know, let companies exist.

01:15:03.000 But I do think that there's a national security issue because of the fact that it's not just about...

01:15:09.000 It's not just about who has it or if someone in a position of authority has it, but their family.

01:15:15.000 If you work for Boeing or you work for Lockheed Martin and your kid has TikTok, they could be accessing your kid's information and stuff.

01:15:25.000 People aren't...

01:15:27.000 I 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.

01:15:39.000 But 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?

01:15:45.000 I agree.

01:15:45.000 Well, I mean, yeah, but the fact of the matter is U.S. apps are like, well, the Chinese using them for...

01:15:52.000 Espionage against the United States is not the same thing.

01:15:56.000 Not that the U.S. government...

01:15:58.000 No, no, no.

01:15:58.000 I'm not saying they're not.

01:15:59.000 What I'm saying is, though, couldn't you also apply that to U.S. intel agencies conducting espionage against our own citizens?

01:16:07.000 Yes, but the United States isn't going to outlaw apps when they're using them.

01:16:10.000 Of course not!

01:16:13.000 If you're talking about China versus the U.S., I think that the government shouldn't be doing that either.

01:16:18.000 But the question isn't, will the government stop or how do we get the government to stop?

01:16:23.000 The question is, is TikTok an espionage tool for a foreign entity?

01:16:28.000 And I think it is.

01:16:29.000 And 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.

01:16:39.000 But...

01:16:40.000 I don't have that.

01:16:41.000 Yeah, I just, I don't know.

01:16:42.000 I just think it's more complicated.

01:16:44.000 I 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.

01:16:56.000 There's still espionage laws.

01:16:57.000 And so, yeah, there's still espionage laws, for sure.

01:16:59.000 But again, like, it's, you know, espionage is a very specific...

01:17:03.000 This is just the argument of the perfect being the enemy of the good.

01:17:06.000 Yes, but at least we have foyer requests.

01:17:08.000 And we have some recourse via lawsuits in the United States.

01:17:11.000 No, no, no.

01:17:12.000 I'm not saying that it shouldn't be done.

01:17:14.000 I 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.

01:17:22.000 No, that's not a thing.

01:17:25.000 John McAfee used to talk about this.

01:17:27.000 Privacy does not exist.

01:17:29.000 If you are using one of these things, you think, oh, I'm encrypted.

01:17:32.000 I'm good.

01:17:32.000 No, no.

01:17:33.000 They are looking over your shoulders.

01:17:35.000 They can pull whatever they want.

01:17:38.000 Maybe it's harder for the CCP to get in, but that doesn't mean that the agency and the feds can't get in whenever they want.

01:17:45.000 You don't believe me?

01:17:45.000 Go ask any Jan 6 or anyone who served in the Trump administration that actually supported the agenda.

01:17:50.000 The debate here isn't, is the American government always good?

01:17:54.000 Because the American government is not always good.

01:17:56.000 That's not the question at hand.

01:17:57.000 The 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? 0.75

01:18:12.000 That's the question.

01:18:13.000 Have you heard the conspiracy theory on this?

01:18:15.000 So the conspiracy theory on this was that who's had the most dominant TikTok trends over the last six months?

01:18:24.000 Like, politically speaking, it's all been Donald Trump related, right?

01:18:28.000 So the YMCA Trump dance, or obviously the Trump hat, or the eating the cats, eating the dogs became the number one song.

01:18:37.000 So 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.

01:18:51.000 We're pro-you.

01:18:53.000 And the moment Trump...

01:18:53.000 Backs off.

01:18:54.000 They go, crush him.

01:18:55.000 Don't let him win ever again.

01:18:56.000 Well, I mean, it doesn't even matter if that's the goal to crush Trump.

01:19:00.000 The fact of the matter is they want to continue.

01:19:02.000 If 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.

01:19:10.000 So 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.

01:19:19.000 It doesn't matter if they like Trump or not.

01:19:21.000 I don't think they care.

01:19:23.000 I don't think it matters who it is.

01:19:26.000 It'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?

01:19:34.000 I mean...

01:19:36.000 I think if they divest and an American company takes over and they don't have...

01:19:41.000 The servers are no longer run by ByteDance.

01:19:44.000 The servers are in the U.S. I don't really have a problem with it.

01:19:46.000 Yeah, but I guess what I'm saying is you could easily construct...

01:19:50.000 Not easily, but you could construct a more, perhaps, classical espionage structure with shell corporations.

01:19:57.000 Yeah, but Jack, you know the vast majority...

01:20:02.000 They could get the...

01:20:03.000 Yeah, but the point that I'm making...

01:20:05.000 First of all, it doesn't have the psychological effect if they just have hardware, right?

01:20:08.000 So 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.

01:20:19.000 Like literally all of our hardware.

01:20:20.000 Yes.

01:20:20.000 If they care so much, why do we still buy all their drones?

01:20:23.000 That's not, well, because we can't make drones in the U.S. because the government's stupid. 1.00

01:20:26.000 Ridiculous. 1.00

01:20:27.000 The FAA is stupid. 1.00

01:20:28.000 Now you're getting to what I was talking about, is that the... 1.00

01:20:31.000 It's basically, and I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying.

01:20:34.000 What 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.

01:20:40.000 No, the point that I'm making is TikTok can operate as a psychological tool.

01:20:47.000 Your computer hardware that they can get into, it's not the same thing.

01:20:52.000 They're not going to be adjusting the algorithm to mess with people's head when they can just track your keystrokes.

01:20:58.000 You know that's what they said about the Romanian election, right?

01:21:00.000 So 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.

01:21:29.000 So the Supreme Court of Romania came in and annulled the election and took away all...

01:21:36.000 Actual people voted in Romania for this guy.

01:21:39.000 And they came in and they went for it.

01:21:42.000 And they said...

01:21:43.000 So this is where...

01:21:43.000 I mean, this is kind of like an almost, you know, more of a bigger...

01:21:48.000 A larger social question is, well, okay, wait a minute.

01:21:51.000 So just because they had this influence, people still voted.

01:21:54.000 And that the Supreme Court annulled the election based on TikTok.

01:21:59.000 DARPA 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.

01:22:09.000 So all these apps are working against you.

01:22:12.000 Yes.

01:22:13.000 All of them.

01:22:13.000 Yes.

01:22:14.000 And our government is an enemy, in my opinion, a foreign enemy. 0.89

01:22:18.000 And they've, you know, taken over.

01:22:19.000 And they've completely infiltrated all the social media.

01:22:22.000 And I wonder how many influencers have marched out of DARPA, you know, for both sides of the party.

01:22:28.000 Influencers?

01:22:28.000 Oh, for sure.

01:22:29.000 I think there's a ton of people who are totally just propped up, like Mockingbird style.

01:22:33.000 And they wouldn't know.

01:22:34.000 They've been doing Mockingbird for decades.

01:22:35.000 You wouldn't know, right?

01:22:37.000 You wouldn't know.

01:22:38.000 It's actually real simple.

01:22:40.000 I 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.

01:22:47.000 It was like, what was it, me, Seamus, and you, Phil?

01:22:50.000 And we were like, so this is what we did.

01:22:52.000 We made a video where...

01:22:54.000 You called me a political hitman once.

01:22:56.000 Oh, that's...

01:22:57.000 That's not bad.

01:22:57.000 That's not bad, right?

01:22:58.000 That's not bad.

01:22:59.000 So the video started with me saying something like, no, actually, I think...

01:23:03.000 Wait a minute.

01:23:04.000 You're not going to watch this guy's video, are you?

01:23:06.000 Nah, you don't want to watch him.

01:23:07.000 Come watch us instead.

01:23:08.000 And it was like, I was like, we don't want to be mean or disparaging.

01:23:10.000 It's more meant to be like a prank and funny.

01:23:12.000 And he's getting money for it.

01:23:13.000 And so I had that commercial run on his channel.

01:23:17.000 But you know what that means?

01:23:18.000 It means I paid him.

01:23:19.000 So you paid him, yeah.

01:23:20.000 That's right.

01:23:20.000 You can go on YouTube, on Google Ads, and pay any creator to run ads on their content.

01:23:28.000 You can choose their channel, and you can say, I want...

01:23:32.000 This amount of money and this amount of ads to appear on this channel.

01:23:35.000 So as it goes, one way to launder and prop up a personality who's not good is to make sure their ad inventory is 100% sold.

01:23:44.000 You're not making them big.

01:23:46.000 You're making sure that if they get views, they get the maximum amount of money for those views.

01:23:50.000 It's a way to pay people who have a message you like.

01:23:54.000 So if you're a foreign government or even the US government, the US government can buy ads like...

01:24:03.000 Liminally, subliminally, and superliminally.

01:24:04.000 Hey, you! 0.99

01:24:05.000 That's right.

01:24:06.000 Join the Navy.

01:24:08.000 All the Simpsons references.

01:24:10.000 The Navy can literally run ads on your channel.

01:24:12.000 And the government will be like, what's our ad budget?

01:24:14.000 Buy ads on that channel.

01:24:16.000 Or they can run a shell corporation through intelligence that runs ads on your channel.

01:24:22.000 And then you're sitting there being like, dude, I make tons of money on YouTube.

01:24:26.000 And that makes sure you can survive, expand, and grow.

01:24:28.000 And here's the best part.

01:24:30.000 You can target videos.

01:24:32.000 So they can make sure that certain videos generate more money than other videos.

01:24:36.000 Then what happens?

01:24:37.000 YouTube creator makes a video about Israel, makes a bunch of money.

01:24:41.000 They say, oh wow, when I do videos on Israel, I make a lot of money.

01:24:44.000 You can easily control what people are going to talk about based on view counts, likes, and their revenue streams.

01:24:50.000 So there are probably a lot of personalities who are propped up and they don't even know it.

01:24:55.000 I can give you an example off the top of my head because I looked this up.

01:24:58.000 Do you remember?

01:24:59.000 Like, a couple years ago, I guess, I was talking about this phenomenon of the Hicklib, and it was like this sort of like... 0.97

01:25:06.000 Kevin Costner.

01:25:06.000 Yeah, Kevin Costner and Yellowstoning, which, by the way, totally vindicated on with the final episode where they tore down Yellowstone Ranch.

01:25:15.000 Gave it to the Native Americans. 1.00

01:25:15.000 Gave it to the Native Americans, and they're kicking over the graves and everything. 1.00

01:25:18.000 They're like, no, put it back up.

01:25:20.000 They're like, I'm going to kick it down anyway, elder.

01:25:23.000 So 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.

01:25:40.000 And 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.

01:25:51.000 And 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.

01:26:08.000 And 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.

01:26:19.000 But 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.

01:26:27.000 It said...

01:26:29.000 After 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.

01:26:45.000 So 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.

01:26:54.000 The LA Times.

01:26:55.000 Give 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.

01:27:05.000 The method, developed by what's called Moonshot CVE, is called the redirect.

01:27:11.000 Through 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.

01:27:26.000 And 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?

01:27:31.000 So I go, I'm like, let me go look up this Moonshot CVE and figure out what that is.

01:27:36.000 And so they're astroturfing this Hiclib identity. 1.00

01:27:39.000 And what's interesting about the British government is that they actually have pretty good records on who they give their funding to.

01:27:48.000 And these different, they're non-profits basically because they all have to be registered.

01:27:51.000 So it's like, okay, here's Moonshot CVE, Countering Violet Extremism, Moonshotteam.com, London, United Kingdom.

01:27:58.000 And this is the best part because, wait a minute.

01:28:01.000 Where did the money come from?

01:28:03.000 Yes, it's a British firm, but the money came from the United States State Department.

01:28:08.000 Wow.

01:28:08.000 $3.6 million.

01:28:10.000 And this was just the one donation that we got, like the sub-grant and all of it.

01:28:14.000 So wait a minute.

01:28:15.000 In 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...

01:28:30.000 And by the way...

01:28:31.000 Welcome to the Five Eyes Spy Club.

01:28:32.000 He may not have known at all.

01:28:34.000 He might have no idea.

01:28:36.000 And 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.

01:28:47.000 And they didn't realize that either, so that was one of the reasons that the LA Times was reporting on it.

01:28:51.000 But 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...

01:29:01.000 Props up certain people on YouTube or other functions, and Google says, hey, we're just fighting hate.

01:29:08.000 We're fighting extremism, and yet you're propping up certain content.

01:29:13.000 I think it's only going to get worse moving forward.

01:29:16.000 It's going to get way worse.

01:29:17.000 It's like they're luring people into invisible re-education camps. 0.61

01:29:22.000 They don't even know they're getting into this.

01:29:23.000 Yeah, you don't even know.

01:29:24.000 That's the thing.

01:29:25.000 They won't even need to send us to re-education camps, because you'll go to YouTube, and you'll just look up something like...

01:29:31.000 How to reconstruct an AR lower.

01:29:33.000 And they'll send you to one of these things.

01:29:36.000 And 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.

01:29:46.000 And I think they're going to try really hard to subvert the subverters. 1.00

01:29:51.000 Exactly.

01:29:51.000 They know the podcast world.

01:29:54.000 Is now ruling, right?

01:29:55.000 Like Trump used podcasts.

01:29:57.000 Yes.

01:29:57.000 And the mainstream podcast will be the next target.

01:30:00.000 That's their target.

01:30:00.000 And it's probably been like that for years, but it's going to get way worse now because they realize that's where the audience is.

01:30:05.000 So they're going to sprinkle in their narratives to try to pacify dissident voices.

01:30:10.000 You're already seeing that a little bit with the woke light phenomenon.

01:30:14.000 Oh, yeah.

01:30:15.000 That these guys who pop up and it's typically these former liberals and...

01:30:20.000 I don't feel like naming names.

01:30:22.000 Current liberals.

01:30:22.000 Right, right.

01:30:23.000 They're always like, I'm a former liberal, but a classic liberal.

01:30:26.000 And they come over and they say, I'm against trans, but that's about it. 0.84

01:30:30.000 And I'm with them on every single other thing.

01:30:34.000 And then they immediately start gatekeeping the right and gatekeeping dissidents and gatekeeping populists and say, you can't believe that.

01:30:41.000 You can't talk about that issue.

01:30:42.000 You can't do that.

01:30:43.000 And that's why I call them the woke light.

01:30:44.000 And the exact same way the woke do it. 0.98

01:30:47.000 The exact same.

01:30:48.000 So that's why I describe wokeness as.

01:30:50.000 The cult-like adherence to the liberal orthodoxy.

01:30:52.000 Yes.

01:30:53.000 What the woke light are doing, these are disaffected liberals that are still liberal, and they're saying, those liberals are bad.

01:31:00.000 We are the true liberals.

01:31:01.000 Be like us.

01:31:02.000 And if you're not, you're the woke right.

01:31:03.000 And the woke right phenomenon is basically the same as calling someone alt-right.

01:31:07.000 It's a meaningless term that basically says you are our enemy.

01:31:11.000 So it's funny when these guys are like the woke right.

01:31:13.000 I'm like, you are the woke right.

01:31:15.000 You're acting woke.

01:31:16.000 You're woke light.

01:31:16.000 But I call them woke right because they're the right side of the left side.

01:31:20.000 So I started...

01:31:21.000 So they're still on the left.

01:31:22.000 So I started...

01:31:23.000 I like what you're saying.

01:31:24.000 I 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?

01:31:29.000 I couldn't figure this out.

01:31:29.000 So it's like, just explain it.

01:31:31.000 Woke light, L-I-T. Also, if you prefer... 0.90

01:31:34.000 Diet woke.

01:31:36.000 Credit to Malcolm Flex for that one.

01:31:38.000 Diet woke.

01:31:39.000 These guys are like, the woke are crazy, and we are the true liberals. 0.98

01:31:44.000 You should be like us. 0.97

01:31:45.000 Hello, fellow kids.

01:31:47.000 And 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?

01:31:59.000 And he said, Oren McIntyre.

01:32:00.000 And I was like, what?

01:32:04.000 He'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.

01:32:11.000 What does it have to do with the people who hate Jews?

01:32:15.000 When 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?

01:32:31.000 That sounds like you're saying alt-right.

01:32:32.000 It's just a meaningless term.

01:32:33.000 If you're not adhering to their standard, you're woke-right.

01:32:40.000 In direct fashion is what they're doing is creating a category, creating a label, saying, we are separate from these guys.

01:32:47.000 Therefore, 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.

01:32:54.000 And then he also interviewed Lavrov, which, by the way, at great personal risk to himself.

01:32:59.000 There were a number of security incidents that took place when he did this.

01:33:04.000 And, you know, Ukraine's got assassination teams all over Russia, by the way.

01:33:08.000 And, of course, Tucker Carlson.

01:33:09.000 Would be a main target and certainly was targeted. 0.91

01:33:12.000 And so the idea that, you know, he was just doing it for, like, clicks or something, it's ridiculous. 0.98

01:33:16.000 It's completely ridiculous. 0.95

01:33:17.000 He's doing his job. 0.96

01:33:18.000 But they were saying, oh, this guy, look at him, he's woke right for just accepting what Putin says.

01:33:23.000 And it's like, for interviewing him? 0.98

01:33:25.000 Like, it's so ridiculous. 0.87

01:33:27.000 And the real... 0.87

01:33:35.000 I'm sorry, how dare you talk to Andrew Tate?

01:33:37.000 Those are woke style attacks.

01:33:40.000 Those are woke style arguments.

01:33:42.000 You are acting like the woke light.

01:33:44.000 By the way, and if you want to criticize something that someone said or something that someone did, then just do that.

01:33:51.000 Then just do that.

01:33:52.000 But be a man and actually have the ability to hold that debate and hold that criticism because that's the The

01:34:26.000 best ideas, the most pragmatic ideas, the most...

01:34:29.000 Truthful ideas will eventually win.

01:34:32.000 They really will.

01:34:33.000 They absolutely will. 0.74

01:34:34.000 But 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. 0.87

01:34:45.000 It's insane. 0.75

01:34:46.000 And it's a form of wokeness.

01:34:47.000 I'm just going to call it out.

01:34:48.000 Becoming the enemy.

01:34:50.000 in 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.

01:35:16.000 There we go!

01:35:17.000 Let's get it.

01:35:17.000 Alright, here we got Robert De La Cruz.

01:35:20.000 He says, I get to be first.

01:35:21.000 Indeed you do, sir.

01:35:22.000 Congratulations.

01:35:24.000 Chrome Gear Versus says, I live here in LA. I want CA to turn red, but not like this.

01:35:30.000 That's a good one.

01:35:31.000 That's a good one.

01:35:32.000 Yikes.

01:35:33.000 Yikes.

01:35:34.000 Surprisingly, this may turn it red.

01:35:37.000 Yeah.

01:35:38.000 You know?

01:35:38.000 We'll see.

01:35:39.000 Yeah, I wonder if the celebrities that are going after their politicians right now are going to stay that way.

01:35:44.000 You know, if they're going to say, we're going to start voting differently, or if they're just going to get fixed.

01:35:49.000 Well, I think you could have it.

01:35:50.000 For some people.

01:35:51.000 I think you could have it.

01:35:52.000 By the way, why doesn't Elon Musk run for governor of California?

01:35:57.000 He's in Texas now, isn't he?

01:35:58.000 He's right back.

01:36:00.000 Whatever the residency requirements are, figure out a way to get it there.

01:36:03.000 Run.

01:36:03.000 Go back and run, and he would win.

01:36:05.000 He would ease up running for independent, and he would win.

01:36:07.000 I want him to run Mars.

01:36:09.000 Yeah, I don't know if he, like, I don't think Elon's the kind of guy who wants to be in government.

01:36:15.000 You get paid way less.

01:36:16.000 He's in government already!

01:36:17.000 Seems like he likes being around it.

01:36:19.000 I know, but he's outside, in orbit, with that influence.

01:36:23.000 Okay, then he puts together a team.

01:36:25.000 Focus on California the way that he focused on America.

01:36:29.000 Put together...

01:36:30.000 Maybe it's Schellenberger.

01:36:32.000 Maybe it's Nicole Shanahan. 1.00

01:36:33.000 Maybe...

01:36:33.000 Elder.

01:36:34.000 What was the guy?

01:36:35.000 Larry Elder, Rick Caruso.

01:36:36.000 Whoever it is, right?

01:36:37.000 Put together that dream team again.

01:36:39.000 But here's the thing.

01:36:40.000 You have to actually stay in California.

01:36:42.000 You can't just keep jumping...

01:36:43.000 Mel Gibson.

01:36:43.000 From place to place.

01:36:44.000 Yeah.

01:36:44.000 Mel Gibson based Mel.

01:36:47.000 Mel's the best.

01:36:48.000 I would love to get him on the show.

01:36:50.000 The Patriot is the greatest movie ever made.

01:36:51.000 That's right.

01:36:52.000 And I would love to hang out with that guy.

01:36:54.000 It's actually Braveheart, but...

01:36:55.000 It's good, too.

01:36:56.000 But he's got great movies.

01:36:58.000 Apocalypto.

01:36:59.000 And he made The Passion, didn't he?

01:37:01.000 He's made a bunch of people.

01:37:02.000 He's making the second one, The Resurrection of the Christ.

01:37:05.000 Just incredible shout-out to everyone.

01:37:08.000 The Patriot is so good.

01:37:09.000 Everything that he said on Joe Rogan was 100% correct.

01:37:14.000 Everything.

01:37:15.000 All right, Tyler Today News says, Hey, Tim, I always love watching the show.

01:37:17.000 Could you shout-out my channel?

01:37:19.000 I just did an interview with a J6-er that was shot unjustly by Capitol Police named Joshua Matthew Black. 1.00

01:37:24.000 He'd be a good guest.

01:37:25.000 Interesting.

01:37:26.000 Tyler, Today News.

01:37:27.000 Good luck, sir.

01:37:30.000 Let's go.

01:37:33.000 Salty Bag of Nuts says, Ian informed my seven-year-old daughter that Santa wasn't real last Thursday.

01:37:39.000 We no longer like Ian.

01:37:41.000 You can't trust Ian.

01:37:43.000 How do you trust Ian over Santa Claus?

01:37:46.000 I know, seriously?

01:37:47.000 Santa deniers will be put into the crystals.

01:37:52.000 Santa deniers.

01:37:53.000 Santa deniers are in shambles!

01:37:55.000 Because guess what, boys and girls?

01:37:57.000 When we woke up on Christmas morning, guess what was under our tree?

01:38:01.000 Presents from Santa.

01:38:02.000 Is this?

01:38:03.000 Right there.

01:38:03.000 Tell me if this is true or not, Jack.

01:38:06.000 What's up?

01:38:06.000 Adam says, Sup, Tim?

01:38:07.000 I just learned over the weekend that Golden Globes mocked God.

01:38:10.000 The next night, Hollywood went in flames.

01:38:11.000 It's true.

01:38:12.000 I saw that video.

01:38:13.000 It's true?

01:38:13.000 She put up a graph of...

01:38:15.000 How many people?

01:38:16.000 Who thanked who?

01:38:17.000 And God was like, had no thank yous.

01:38:19.000 Wow.

01:38:21.000 I mean, it wouldn't exactly be the first time the Hollywood mocked God.

01:38:25.000 Yeah.

01:38:25.000 That's all they do.

01:38:26.000 But that's more overt.

01:38:28.000 You know what I mean?

01:38:29.000 It's like, it's one thing to be passively disrespectful.

01:38:31.000 It's another thing to just scream it out.

01:38:34.000 The George Floyd mural that exploded.

01:38:36.000 Dude, I don't...

01:38:37.000 So here's my question for you, Jack.

01:38:40.000 Are miracles things that when you look at it...

01:38:42.000 And you say that's an impossibility, it must be a miracle?

01:38:45.000 Or are they things that seemingly are astronomically impossible that happen?

01:38:50.000 Let me put it like this.

01:38:51.000 Give me an example.

01:38:54.000 It's a miracle.

01:38:55.000 It's like Butler PA. So, Butler PA, Donald Trump tilting his head, is a possible thing that can happen.

01:39:05.000 The George Floyd mural exploding is a thing that can happen. 0.87

01:39:09.000 But holy crap, the odds must be beyond astronomical.

01:39:13.000 So my question is, is that what defines a miracle? 0.96

01:39:17.000 Or are miracles things where it's like a sandwich appears out of thin air?

01:39:22.000 Something absolutely impossible to happen happens.

01:39:24.000 So, I mean, yes, in general.

01:39:28.000 The idea, typically, so there's the idea of the miraculous, like Donald Trump being saved, I believe is a miracle.

01:39:34.000 I think a lot of people believe it's a miracle.

01:39:36.000 He turns his head just a millimeter.

01:39:38.000 And that's why we put that picture on the cover of him where it looks like he's in prayer for the book Bulletproof.

01:39:44.000 Where if you'd like a link to, send me an email, 1776 at humanevents.com.

01:39:47.000 Audiobook is now out.

01:39:49.000 Huge debate over whether or not audiobooks are real books.

01:39:51.000 It's raging.

01:39:52.000 So check it out.

01:39:53.000 The word brickers are in shambles, by the way.

01:39:55.000 Carrying around their word bricks.

01:39:59.000 And I was, of course, pointed out that oral tradition vastly predates books.

01:40:05.000 But typically, when it comes to the canonization of a saint, what you're looking for is a healing.

01:40:12.000 What you're looking for is some miraculous change.

01:40:16.000 There's the miracle of the sun in Fatima.

01:40:19.000 So this is the appearance of Fatima on October 13th.

01:40:24.000 Fatima, Portugal was the sun actually, it's claimed, danced in the sky.

01:40:28.000 So in that case, it wouldn't necessarily be something.

01:40:31.000 So yes, I guess it would be both.

01:40:33.000 It could be both.

01:40:34.000 It could be both.

01:40:34.000 So something that is possible, just astronomically unlikely, as well as something that is, in fact, impossible.

01:40:42.000 Like, for example, a man raising himself from the dead and walking around and being seen by thousands after he'd been murdered in public.

01:40:50.000 I think that one still falls under the astronomically unlikely but possible.

01:40:56.000 The resurrection.

01:40:58.000 He still had to live in a tomb for three days.

01:41:00.000 Yeah.

01:41:00.000 Somehow.

01:41:01.000 What I'm saying is that, like...

01:41:03.000 You're saying if he was injured?

01:41:05.000 Not necessarily injured, but I just mean, like, what I would define as impossible is, like, a sandwich appearing out of thin air.

01:41:12.000 You know what I mean?

01:41:13.000 It defies logic.

01:41:15.000 It doesn't exist.

01:41:16.000 You can't really be dead and come back to life.

01:41:19.000 You can.

01:41:20.000 It's pretty impossible.

01:41:21.000 I 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.

01:41:33.000 But that's why I would still describe that as a miracle.

01:41:36.000 I don't think that defies the laws of logic in the universe is what I mean to say.

01:41:41.000 That's kind of the...

01:41:42.000 It does.

01:41:44.000 I disagree.

01:41:46.000 What other things can die and come back to life?

01:41:50.000 Humans die and come back to life all the time through medical technology.

01:41:54.000 But it's not just that he died and came back to life.

01:41:56.000 He was like the torture of the crucifixion.

01:41:59.000 Yeah, this wasn't just like brain death.

01:42:00.000 That's why I'm saying I view that as a miracle.

01:42:02.000 And he got CPR. What I'm saying is...

01:42:08.000 I guess what I'm trying to say is it is within the realm of physical existence that a body comes back to life.

01:42:15.000 As opposed to like a tree turned into a fish.

01:42:19.000 You know what I mean?

01:42:20.000 Like something that makes no sense within existence.

01:42:25.000 I don't know if I agree, but I get what you're saying.

01:42:27.000 Yeah.

01:42:28.000 The reason I ask is because I forgot what we were talking about before.

01:42:31.000 Oh yeah, the Mocking God.

01:42:32.000 Like a fire starting is Right after they mock God is, like, extremely unlikely.

01:42:39.000 God's wrath.

01:42:40.000 But fires happen, and people mock God.

01:42:42.000 The question is...

01:42:43.000 And they happen in that area.

01:42:44.000 Right.

01:42:45.000 And by the way, Devil's Advocate, I mean, Tornado Alley exists, and that's not exactly a haven of God mockers in the Midwest.

01:42:56.000 My view, just to simplify everything, is that God smites.

01:43:00.000 Oh, he does.

01:43:01.000 I do believe it.

01:43:02.000 Oh, he does.

01:43:02.000 The George Floyd mural exploding.

01:43:05.000 Unless 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.

01:43:19.000 I mean, it's possible those things happened.

01:43:22.000 By the way, by the way, by the way.

01:43:22.000 I'm just saying.

01:43:23.000 The same George Floyd who, when he was brought to the hospital, was still alive because Derek Chauvin didn't kill him.

01:43:30.000 Derek Chauvin should be freed, and he did nothing wrong.

01:43:33.000 They said that...

01:43:35.000 Just 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.

01:43:46.000 He was unaware of the circumstances and was just doing as the department instructed.

01:43:50.000 Now, 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.

01:43:56.000 We're talking about a cop who shows up and sees a very large man resisting arrest and saying...

01:44:01.000 Where else did he commit murder?

01:44:02.000 And what?

01:44:03.000 The question is, did he commit murder?

01:44:05.000 No, he did not.

01:44:06.000 I'm not even making the argument that he has to be a police officer after this.

01:44:12.000 That's fine.

01:44:13.000 And 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.

01:44:26.000 She testified that she didn't recognize the restraint that Derek Chauvin used.

01:44:31.000 And then there was pictures of her.

01:44:32.000 And then they found the pictures.

01:44:33.000 So that's why for 2025, I am no longer a conservative.

01:44:36.000 I am now a Derek Chauvinist.

01:44:39.000 And it was a political sacrifice that was made to the gods of...

01:44:47.000 The 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.

01:45:04.000 Before we went live, you were talking about the Ten Commandments.

01:45:06.000 They turned Floyd into a false idol.

01:45:09.000 And then the mural exploded.

01:45:11.000 Let me read this.

01:45:13.000 Gandalf 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.

01:45:18.000 I completely agree with that, and that's kind of my point.

01:45:21.000 That 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.

01:45:33.000 I agree with that assessment.

01:45:35.000 Yeah, the something-to-nothing argument is astounding.

01:45:40.000 Mel Gibson got into a lot of this with Rogan, but there's so much more.

01:45:44.000 The evolution stuff is fascinating.

01:45:46.000 How does non-comporeal matter form a single cell?

01:45:52.000 Where does a single cell come from?

01:45:53.000 From nothing.

01:45:55.000 We only have...

01:45:57.000 So, I watched this documentary about the formation of life.

01:46:02.000 And the hard academic answer is we don't know.

01:46:06.000 It doesn't mean we won't know, but they say at some point certain chemicals formed self-replicating proteins.

01:46:14.000 At some point those became cells.

01:46:16.000 And it's like, okay, what's the mechanism for it?

01:46:19.000 How and why?

01:46:19.000 They don't know.

01:46:20.000 But that is not to say that I disagree with evolution.

01:46:23.000 I certainly think evolution could be the mechanism by which God creates man.

01:46:27.000 And it's like...

01:46:28.000 Understanding the process by which God created man does not take away the fact that God created man.

01:46:34.000 That being said— Oh, John Paul II can say that, by the way.

01:46:37.000 He did say that?

01:46:38.000 Yeah.

01:46:39.000 The 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.

01:46:56.000 It's like— Right, so you'll believe in simulation theory, and you're like, oh, that's so cool.

01:47:01.000 Yeah, the odds are totally in favor of that.

01:47:03.000 And then I'll come along and say, yeah, you know who else said that?

01:47:07.000 St. Paul.

01:47:07.000 No, you're wrong.

01:47:08.000 It's a religion.

01:47:09.000 No, that's a religion.

01:47:10.000 No, but he said the same thing.

01:47:12.000 It'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.

01:47:22.000 I would argue it to atheists who don't believe in creation.

01:47:27.000 When 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.

01:47:35.000 They were hard-coded.

01:47:37.000 They're simulated.

01:47:38.000 But in the game, there's a story as to how the buildings were created and what the city is all about.

01:47:43.000 It's a story.

01:47:44.000 It's all fake.

01:47:44.000 There was a creator who made that.

01:47:46.000 If 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...

01:47:55.000 The odds are an advanced civilization would create a simulation like ours.

01:47:59.000 Therefore, it is more likely we're in a simulation.

01:48:01.000 You're literally just saying you believe in creation.

01:48:04.000 You're just removing God from the picture and putting some guy there.

01:48:07.000 Have 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.

01:48:34.000 But have you heard the Middle-Earth theory?

01:48:36.000 What's that?

01:48:37.000 Yeah, the Middle Earth theory.

01:48:39.000 So 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.

01:48:49.000 People 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.

01:49:00.000 So the idea is that what if instead of a...

01:49:04.000 Linear 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? 0.86

01:49:14.000 And 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.

01:49:25.000 And then what instead happened was this various hybridization and interbreeding of the species.

01:49:30.000 And that's why you'll see that.

01:49:32.000 So, you know, Europeans and Asians have a certain, like, you know, less than 2% of...

01:49:39.000 Neanderthal DNA, but sub-Saharan Africans do not. 1.00

01:49:42.000 And people say, well, that's because, you know, they came out of Africa.

01:49:45.000 And it's like, or perhaps not.

01:49:47.000 Perhaps there were various separate things that all existed.

01:49:51.000 This does actually line up with the Atlantis theory very well.

01:49:54.000 And so Robert Seppert talks about this and kind of gets into like the Graham Hancock stuff.

01:49:58.000 I heard someone, I don't remember where it was that I heard yesterday, but someone was talking about...

01:50:02.000 Like 15,000 years ago, the sea level was 400 feet below where it is today.

01:50:08.000 Yeah.

01:50:09.000 So parts of Egypt that are now underwater.

01:50:12.000 And so some people believe that there was an island in the Atlantic where Atlantis may have been.

01:50:16.000 So 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?

01:50:26.000 They don't tell you, like, oh, we had some great teacher and these inventors, they figured it out.

01:50:30.000 They say, no, they have these oral traditions, by the way, oral traditions, take that word, brickers. 1.00

01:50:35.000 Oral 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.

01:50:48.000 And then one day they went away, and we never saw them again until the arrival of Cortez.

01:50:54.000 Obviously, that was more further north.

01:50:56.000 But 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.

01:51:02.000 All right, we've got to read this one from Mikey Maui.

01:51:05.000 He says, Tim, my sis-in-law, mother of five with a newborn, suffered a stroke and aneurysm.

01:51:09.000 One month medical coma and brain damage.

01:51:11.000 Therapy is very expensive.

01:51:13.000 Can we get a shout-out to her GoFundMe? 1.00

01:51:15.000 I realize you don't like GoFundMe.

01:51:17.000 Anyways, her name is Morgan Henteman.

01:51:21.000 Jack, we are big Catholics.

01:51:22.000 Can you please pray a rosary?

01:51:25.000 We'll do that.

01:51:26.000 Sorry to hear, brother.

01:51:27.000 I hope it works out.

01:51:29.000 I wish you the best.

01:51:30.000 Right here.

01:51:32.000 Right on.

01:51:33.000 Do we still have the...

01:51:34.000 I think the one we had over there fell off.

01:51:36.000 We had it on the Bocas board.

01:51:39.000 Let's go.

01:51:40.000 Andrew says, I have a friend who wanted to be a fireman, but he couldn't pass the fireman's carry.

01:51:45.000 He hit the gym for two years till he could.

01:51:47.000 He's been a fireman paramedic for 15 years now.

01:51:49.000 Wow, that's epic.

01:51:51.000 Yep, because sometimes people get caught in fires and it's not their fault.

01:51:54.000 He should have just been a minority, sexual, whatever, female. 0.98

01:52:00.000 Could have put on blackface. 0.99

01:52:01.000 Identified, you know, blackface, and then he'd be fine. 1.00

01:52:04.000 You don't need to pass the fireman's carry to be a fireman anymore.

01:52:07.000 There's so many easier ways to do it.

01:52:08.000 By the way, we can't call it the fireman's carry anymore, can we?

01:52:12.000 Firepersons carry? 0.51

01:52:14.000 Firefighters carry?

01:52:15.000 That's one of those ones we haven't.

01:52:16.000 Fire people's carry? 0.77

01:52:18.000 We haven't figured that one out.

01:52:19.000 How have they not changed Burning Man yet?

01:52:20.000 Oh my goodness.

01:52:22.000 Burning person?

01:52:23.000 Burning persons. 0.98

01:52:25.000 Burning them? 0.99

01:52:26.000 Burning persons. 0.98

01:52:27.000 Sounds like a threat.

01:52:27.000 The 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.

01:52:39.000 I heard that story.

01:52:41.000 Wow.

01:52:43.000 That's crazy.

01:52:45.000 Pat Meadows says, hempcrete is basically fireproof.

01:52:48.000 Start investing.

01:52:49.000 What is that like?

01:52:50.000 Concrete made from hemp?

01:52:53.000 I don't know what that is.

01:52:54.000 I don't know.

01:52:55.000 There have been a couple stories, though, that I've heard of people who live in the area.

01:52:59.000 James Woods' house, by the way, apparently was not destroyed.

01:53:03.000 That's a weird story.

01:53:05.000 Well, I guess there were a lot of constructors.

01:53:07.000 There 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.

01:53:19.000 And a lot of those houses did pretty well, it seems like.

01:53:25.000 Let's go.

01:53:26.000 Gino S. says, "They literally call themselves 'crooked media'.

01:53:29.000 We are effing living in a simulation." Yeah.

01:53:32.000 Isn't that weird?

01:53:33.000 Look, it's what it comes down to.

01:53:34.000 What is that?

01:53:35.000 Why that name?

01:53:35.000 It's these luxury beliefs, man.

01:53:37.000 It'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.

01:53:46.000 And it's like...

01:53:47.000 At 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.

01:53:57.000 And if you don't have that person, guess what?

01:54:00.000 You know, those beliefs will not save you.

01:54:02.000 You see that meme where he's like, call me old-fashioned, but back in my day, we put water in the fire hydrants.

01:54:08.000 Yeah, that was a good one.

01:54:09.000 By the way, for all my Philly peeps out there, it is, of course, properly pronounced wood-er.

01:54:15.000 Jake Fulkerson says, Hello, Tim.

01:54:17.000 Fellow cancel Newsome Californian here.

01:54:20.000 I grew up in the foothills of Central California in, how do you pronounce that, Tulumney?

01:54:27.000 Tulumney?

01:54:28.000 I don't know.

01:54:28.000 County.

01:54:30.000 Over 285,000 acres of our pristine forest was wiped out by the Rimfire in 2013. Same-ish, different stain.

01:54:37.000 Brutal.

01:54:39.000 Jason Hutchinson says, solar arrays that can turn water into steam for generators exist.

01:54:44.000 Is that not directed energy?

01:54:47.000 A mirror that you put against the sun is directed energy, sure.

01:54:52.000 So you can take a couple mirrors and then focus light and it starts fires.

01:54:57.000 Or a magnifying glass.

01:54:59.000 Or a bottle of water.

01:55:01.000 That's crazy.

01:55:01.000 You ever see someone take a bag of water and they hold it in the sun to make a fire?

01:55:04.000 That's crazy stuff.

01:55:06.000 Science!

01:55:07.000 It is fun.

01:55:09.000 Devlin 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?

01:55:16.000 Our 2A rights do not end because of where someone works.

01:55:19.000 That should...

01:55:20.000 Again, Pete Hegseth.

01:55:22.000 Pete Hegseth, get him in there, folks.

01:55:24.000 Pete Hegseth needs to be confirmed.

01:55:26.000 Tomorrow is his hearing.

01:55:28.000 Send him your energy.

01:55:29.000 Send him your power.

01:55:30.000 Send him your prayers.

01:55:31.000 And go, if you have a Republican senator, make sure your senator hears.

01:55:36.000 Vote yes on Pete Hegseth.

01:55:39.000 Well, Jack, I'm just here a small-town, humble podcaster, but what does Pete Hegseth do for me?

01:55:45.000 Pete Hegseth will take away the gun-free zones.

01:55:48.000 And he's going to name all the bases back to their original names.

01:55:53.000 Nobody calls Bragg Liberty.

01:55:56.000 Fort Bragg.

01:55:57.000 Fort Hood.

01:55:59.000 Fort AP Hill.

01:56:01.000 I don't even know what Liberty is.

01:56:02.000 Even when those attacks happened at the beginning of the year, those guys were both from Fort Bragg at some point.

01:56:07.000 No one reported on it as Liberty.

01:56:10.000 Everyone kept saying Fort Bragg because we don't know what Fort Liberty is.

01:56:13.000 No, it was a complete joke.

01:56:14.000 Nobody knows what Uki Akvik is.

01:56:16.000 Yeah, it's part of taking...

01:56:19.000 And I love the fact, by the way, that it's like these...

01:56:22.000 There was another Wall Street Journal headline a couple weeks ago that I've been laughing at because it's such a badge of honor.

01:56:28.000 It says, President Trump keeps nominating angry War on Terror veterans to his nomination.

01:56:35.000 And it was like, Tulsi, J.D. Vance, and Pete Hegseth.

01:56:39.000 And I was like, that's just perfect.

01:56:41.000 People 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.

01:56:53.000 You know what?

01:56:54.000 I think those should be the people in charge of the government when it comes down to it.

01:56:59.000 I love it.

01:57:00.000 Especially the fact that they're on the younger side of things.

01:57:03.000 They're adults, leaders, and it almost feels surreal that Trump has put together this coalition.

01:57:12.000 I wish he did this in his first term, but hey.

01:57:15.000 It's not something he campaigned on either, by the way.

01:57:17.000 I mean, he campaigned in general on change.

01:57:20.000 But by the way, this is the opposite of the Mark Zuckerberg thing, right?

01:57:23.000 So Mark Zuckerberg says, oh, I've changed, I've changed, I've changed.

01:57:26.000 Look at me.

01:57:27.000 I've got a fro now.

01:57:28.000 You can trust me.

01:57:30.000 I'm so sorry.

01:57:31.000 Oh, I'm so sad.

01:57:32.000 Joe Biden was mean to me on the phone.

01:57:34.000 Oh, no.

01:57:35.000 Really, dude?

01:57:36.000 You're a billionaire.

01:57:37.000 Just tell him no.

01:57:39.000 And meanwhile, Trump is up there like, yeah, I'm going to nominate all of the most based people possible for these positions.

01:57:47.000 Kash Patel, who, by the way, has the resume up and down to be an FBI director.

01:57:53.000 Russ Vogt over at OMB, a guy who understands the budget inside and out.

01:57:58.000 OMB. That's the actual money.

01:58:00.000 That position right there doesn't get nearly enough attention for the average person.

01:58:04.000 The OMB can do serious, serious things about where the money goes and what things are funded and what aren't.

01:58:13.000 Yeah, like if you want Doge to actually have teeth, it runs through OMB. Absolutely.

01:58:16.000 That's the dirty little secret.

01:58:18.000 All right, Oren says, Don't forget the time that comedian Heather McDonald mocked Jesus and immediately fainted on stage.

01:58:24.000 Just ordered the 20th Amendment board.

01:58:26.000 Going to make it part of my remote business meetings backdrop.

01:58:29.000 Epic.

01:58:30.000 So good.

01:58:30.000 The 20th Amendment.

01:58:33.000 The interpretation is that people have a right to secure and grow their own food.

01:58:39.000 But chickens are also awesome, so, you know.

01:58:41.000 But that is, I'm telling you, man, like, here's a question.

01:58:48.000 Are 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.

01:58:56.000 And he says, it's a miracle, God exists.

01:58:58.000 And Bill Maher says, I would respond with, sometimes it rains.

01:59:01.000 And it's like, in that story, I'm kind of like, yeah, I don't know.

01:59:05.000 But there's something different about the mural of George Floyd exploding.

01:59:08.000 You know, like, that just defies logic.

01:59:11.000 I'm more inclined to believe that someone secretly showed up and blew it up than the story they've put out.

01:59:17.000 Jordan never caught the guy who did the Georgia Guidestones.

01:59:20.000 But there's a video of it, isn't there?

01:59:21.000 There's a video of, like, the car sort of driving.

01:59:24.000 There is.

01:59:25.000 Yeah, but it's weird.

01:59:26.000 But you can't really, you can't see much.

01:59:28.000 Yeah.

01:59:29.000 That was crazy.

01:59:30.000 Yeah, I don't know, man.

01:59:31.000 So terrible.

01:59:31.000 I think that happened the same year.

01:59:34.000 People have told me that because I don't follow organized religion.

01:59:37.000 I do believe in God.

01:59:38.000 And so people say, oh, you must be a deist.

01:59:40.000 And then at first I was like, oh, okay, sure, I guess.

01:59:42.000 Then I looked into it.

01:59:43.000 Deists believe that God does not intervene in any way or interact with existence. 0.96

01:59:48.000 And I'm like, well, that's ridiculous.

01:59:50.000 I certainly think God does. 0.88

01:59:52.000 It's like the absent God theory.

01:59:55.000 So God creates the world and then just walks away.

01:59:57.000 Which makes no sense to me.

02:00:00.000 Why?

02:00:00.000 For what purpose?

02:00:02.000 Yeah.

02:00:03.000 And 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.

02:00:23.000 You know what a good one for that is also is DNA. Why does DNA have a code?
